WE HELP BUILD BUSINESS COLORED REGIST'R OF TREASURY IS OPPOSED Five Hundred White Girls Fearing They May Lose Jobs Send In OFFICE HAS GROWN World War Increased Clerical Force From 20 To 900 Washington, April 7 (Special)—Taking their cue from the fact that no colored man held the post of Register of the Treasury during eight years of the Wilson regime, more than 500 white women employed in that office have signed a petition opposing such a selection by President Harding. The petition was addressed to Mrs. Virginia White Speel, white chairman of the Women's Republican Committee of the District of Columbia. Copies of the petition have been sent members of Congress. The protestants claim that they are not accustomed by race prejudice but that Register's office now has "more than 900 clerks, mostly ex-service men and white women, who are dependent upon their income here for support. For a Negro to have jurisdiction over these clerks would be intolerable." Before the Wilson administration, there were only about twenty employees. Four of the 22 Registers have been colored. The first two under Wilson were Indians and the whites made no kick. The colored men who have held the position are former United States Senator B. K. Bruce, of Mississippi; Judson W. Layons, ex-Publican National Committee man from Georgia, who took the post when Bruce died in 1898; W. T. Vernon, now an A. M. E. bishop who was named by Roosevelt, and J. C. Napier, of Nashville, who held the position under Taft. President Wilson first named Adam E. Patterson, of Oklahoma to succeed Mr. Napier; but withdrew his name when Senators from the South kicked. Henry Lincoln Johnson has been boomed for the post by influential persons. DR. FITZGERALD DEAD Well Known Physician Passes Away Thursday Night Dr. Edward V.

HOODOOED WHITE WOMAN OUT OF SMALL FORTUNE Nineteen Year Old Youth And Grandmother Said To Have Kept Her Slave Five Months HYPNOTISM HINTED Youth Spent Money In Fire- Crackers And Theatre Tickets York, S. C., April 8—Mrs. Violet Shaw, aged 60 years, and her grandson, Ottis Fewell, are in jail on the charge of swindling Margaret Thomson, wealthy white spinister, out of $3,500 during the last five months by hoodooing and hypnotic methods. Suspicion was first aroused against Fewell, who, it is said, bought $100 worth of fire crackers Christmas and who boasts that he often chartered the two front rows of seats in moving picture houses. The power of Mrs. Shaw as a hypnotist is undoubted, and it is said that she kept the white woman a slave during the larger part of this time. Some time ago the Thomason woman claimed to have loss $1,500 while carrying it to the bank in Rockville, it is now believed this money went to the hypnotist.

C., April 5.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today released a statement regarding an interview held by James Weldon Johnson yesterday with President Harding. Mr. Johnson in talking with the President emphasized the fact that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in speaking for twelve million colored citizens of the United States was not interested in the parceling out of petty jobs, but that its interest was in the enactment of measures to relative oppressive conditions affecting colored people.

Mr. Johnson also urged on behalf of the Association that the other points be taken up and action taken on them by the President. Mr. Johnson reports that his interview with the President was very satisfactory. The specific points discussed were: 1. Passage of a federal antitrenching law by Congress. 2. A wide and thorough investigation of peonage conditions in the Southern states, to be made by the Department of Justice, followed by the punishment of the perpetrators of the peonage system. 3. An investigation of dischernishment in the South and the rights of the Negro to vote under the identical qualifications required of other citizens. 4. The appointment of a national Inter-Racial Commission to make a thorough study of race relations. 5.

Members of the Ku Klux Klan who had Johnson in charge, drove to a lonely point south of the city and tied their victim to a fence post. Asked if he were guilty of being in the room of a white woman guest of the hotel, Johnson denied the charge and protested his innocence. We was, nevertheless, stripped to the waist and given 25 lashes. Although the victim was so weak he could not stand, members of the Klan held up his head, while one of the band branded his forehead using the liquid from a bottle of acid. The Klan then brought Johnson back to the city and threw his half unconscious body in the street in front of the hotel. PORTERS APPEAL CASE Richmond, Va., April 7—Suit of Oscar E.

BITTERFIGHT OVER EQUAL RIGHTS BILL Pennsylvania Lower House Tries To Recall Measure Passed During Last VARE TO RESCUE "Big Boss" Succeeds In Having It Kept In The Senate On Point Of Order Harrisburg, Pa., April 7—Rough sledding is ahead of the Asbury Equal Rights Bill which passed the House last week and now lies before the Senate. Over the strenuous objections of Representative Asbury, Tuesday the House voted to recall the measure. This was done, it was said in order to ask amendments which would keep colored people from white hotels. Although the attempt of the House to get the bill back into its jurisdiction was successful, as far as the House itself was concerned it was blocked in the Senate. There Senator Vare brought up a point of order based on an old decision of a presiding officer, which he maintained forbade the bill leaving the custody of the chamber. He was sustained in this point or order by the presiding officer and it was thus nullified. Efforts of the House to tackle the bill shows that the representatives who voted for it have changed their minds, due to protests from voters back home. They have lost all opportunity to vote on the case again and the fight is now in the Senate. In the Senate the bill has the support of Senator Vare and United States Senator Penrose. Some efforts will be made by the opposition to have the bill die in committee, but this is believed unlikely. A public hearing will be staged here next Tuesday. Thousands of representatives of colored organizations are expected to overwhelm the Senate Committee. 1 SLAVES HIMSELF. Johnny told me he'd kill me if I did not kill them," John Williams, white, boss of the farm upon which the bodies of the slain men have been found, is also on trial charged with murder and peonage. Bets of two to one are being offered that the white man will not be hung. His two sons are also implicated. Department of Justice Officials testified to the stockades in the farm upon which the colored workers were locked up at night after worked as slaves during the day. According to Manning, Williams ordered the death of his eleven shaves after the Federal authorities investigated his farm. Williams, he said, was afraid the men would tell on him. Mrs. Manning, wife of the farm boss, and cook for Williams, told the jury today that Williams treated her all right, but was hard "on them other colored men." SFUL MAN the specialty of male and female diseases, he became a recognized authority in the field of medicine. Sixy-two years ago last winter, the noted physician gave to the world a prescription which has never been equalled for the building up of weak, wormout, men and women. And from that day until now his famous prescription has been sold throughout the world under the name of Herbs Of Life. Before placing Herbs Of Life in Drug stores, Dr. Delano made a fortune in his private practice. His patients included, people in every walk of life; from poor hams up to a President of the United States. For fifty years Herbs of Life sold in drug stores at $5.00 per bottle, but during the past twelve years Dr. Delano has been cultivating Herbs of Life on his reservations, which enabled him to cut the retail price down to $2.00 per bottle. All once every year he sells every drug store in the United States to sell a unique number of bottles for $1.00 per bottle, in order to add millions of customers to his crowded list. Every drug store in Baltimore sells Herbs of Life, but we recommend that you purchase your bottle from one of the following: Hilburn, Northwestern, Fennell, Terrell, Derry, Young, Fowler, Drudid Hill, Livingston, Liebman, Wich, Russell Hauser, Grauul, Solomon, Hayes, Stokes, Omen, Boening, J.

Bond street, and the tragedy took place in the near-beer saloon conducted by his son Gilbert Cooper, at 1818 Orleans street, corner of Durham. Young Gilbert Cooper, it is said, discharged Johnson for cursing his father. When told that his services were no longer needed, the bartender became enraged, pulled a 45 callibre revolver from his pocket, while those in the place ducked, and fired point blank at the elder Cooper who was behind the counter. The bullet entered his right eye, passed out the back of his head and embedded itself in the wall. Johnson bolted for the door and escaped while Gilbert run behind the bar to pick up the lifeless form of his father. Johnson, who is a neat dresser, is well known in East Baltimore.

SECRETARY OF INTERIOR, FALL TALKS STRAIGHT Asks For Resignation Of All Who Cannot Work With Colored Assistant Secretary POLL OF CABINET Other Members Of Harding Family Working For Square Deal (Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C. April 7—A Poil of the official family of President Harding shows Secretary Fall asking for the resignation of all who cannot work with his colored assistant former Lieutenant Henry O. Flipper and Secretary Mellen ordering segregation signs down. Secretary of State Hughes is giving careful and sympathetic consideration to the problems of Liberia, Haiti and the Dominion government. His reception to the Liberian Commission was necessarily formal, but nevertheless cordial. Attorney General Daugherty, through the department of Justice, is deliving into the terrible peonage conditions in Georgia who have taken the protests of organizations and citizens generally, that are pouring into the President and Attorney General are being given careful consideration, and so far as the government is concerned, these conditions will be dealt with firmly. Secretary of War Weeks has given assurance to those who have talked with his that there will be nothing but a square deal in his department for all. He is willing to disband soldiers, and in fact, all of those who were the Uniform in the World War, and who now uphold the honor of the flag. Secretary of Labor Davis is demonstrating to the world that he believes in justice. In the recent Packers' hearing, the Secretary of Labor stood like a stone wall in defence of treating Negro labor.

And Baptist Ministers' Conference Monday was "African Day" in the A. M. E. Ministers' Meeting held at Bethel Church and the Baptist Ministers' Meeting at the Union Baptist Church President, E. D. King of Liberia, told the Methodists that they were the bottom of the list when it comes to doing missionary work in Africa. Rev. A. L. Gaines explained that the church heretofore has been too much occupied with organization here to do large extensive work in Africa. "The Baptist work is a disgrace in Africa," declared Rev. J. E. East who is conducting a school and booking after twelve missions in South Africa. Baptist Missions sorted by C. S. Mose in Queens town and Rev. E. Chuckannon, a Baltimore angelist in Queens town, gave died out Rev. East said, one back of workers and support from America. Rev. East is making a drive to raise funds for purchase of land to conduct an industrial school. A mass meeting will be held in one of the city churches for this purpose later. MISSION BOARD BUYS LARGE AFRICAN TRACT g0000 Acres Acquired To Teach Natives Agriculture And Trades Chicago, April 4—Purchase of $400 million of farm land in Portuguese, West Africa, for a demonstration farm and trades school for African Negroes on the model of Hippopotamus and Tuskeguee Institutes has been made by the board of foreign missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church. It was announced here by the church committee on conservation and advancement, the high cost of living in Africa since the war has caused real hardship to the native population, missionaries report. Cotton cloth and iron hoops cost five times more than in 1914. Before the war, plantation hands wore three or four yards of cloth around them, now only a half a yard is used and many natives wear only the skin of some bush cut or garbled. Brewing plant situated on the flat and operated by water power will be converted by the Methodist into a sugar mill. Establishment of the farm and indus school forms part of a plan to raise the economic status of the African natives, which investigation found to be necessary for successful mission work on a large scale among them, says the announcement. The property was acquired in accordance with the Methodist Episcopal centenary program for Africa, which calls for a chain of six such institutes in Central Africa, one for each Methodist mission conference there. The tract at Quesson in Portuguese, West Africa, brings the total increase acquired by the Methodists in Africa above 25,000 acres, at nine different points widely separated. MARYLANDERS NAMED FOR N.

In fact, the entire bill at the Rainbow this week is a most attractive one. THE NEW LINCOLN The vaudeville bill is well up to the standard set by this house.

The bill was closed with a very meritorious playlet built around the "eternal triangle" in which Mr. Langford enacted the role of the philandering husband, Miss Bristol, the long-suffering wife; Miss White—who in private life is Mrs. Langford—that of the wronged woman, and Harry Sanderson, the protector of abused womanhood. Each of these characters were splendidly acted, Miss White and Mr. Langford demonstrating acting ability of real power. Their ringing speeches won them rounds of applause from an attentive audience. A word must be said for the "pep" shown by the chorus and also for the handsome costumes worn by the women of the company. Patrons of the Dunbar have a treat in store on the coming Tuesday, the feature day at this house. The attraction will be William Farnum in the "Scuttlers" one of this vicious actor's latest pictures.

THE OPPORTUNITY to purchase high grade securities on a price basis to return 7 or 8 percent is offered in the present SALE OF STOCK DOUGLASS AMUSEMENT CORP. DOUGLASS AMUSEMENT CORP. AT $10.00 PER SHARE The response made by the people of Baltimore to this unusual offer indicates their faith in the accomplishment of this huge undertaking and the ultimate benefits it will bring them in the way of dividends and profits THE SUNDAY NUGGET Now under construction on Pennsylvania avenue near Lanvale street. When the Half-Million Dollar Dunbar Theatre at broad and Lombard Streets, Philadelphia, opened last December, several of Baltimore's prominent citizens were present. All of them were very lavish in their praise of the beautiful theatre, and were all agreed that it was the handsomest theatre in the United States owned and controlled by colored people. And the request was made on that evening that a duplicate of the Dunbar Theatre be built in the City of Baltimore. The management at once began investigating conditions in Baltimore, and were quickly convinced that a first-class theatre in the "Monumental City" would be not only an asset to our people there, but would become a big money-maker from the very short. With that thought ever foremost, we began quietly looking for a suitable location for the theatre, and famally found what, in our opinion, is the best location for a colored theatre in the city. This site is on Pennsylvania Avenue between Lanvale Street and Lafayette Avenue. It is the desire of the company that the stock be distributed among a large number of investors, rather than be held by a few large buyers of securities, and for this reason the price of shares has been put at a price at which even the smallest investor may get in on this proposition. Colored theatres are no longer an experiment. In every city where a first-class theatre has been erected, success has attended the venture. The character of the performances which will come to the Douglass theatre will be of the same order as the attractions which have been playing in the Dunbar in Philadelphia and the Lafayette in New York with such wonderful success. Here is an opportunity for Baltimore colored people to cash in on the experience which has been gained in the operation of this now famous chain of colored theatres, which is constantly growing in number and importance throughout the country. The facts are here presented in a plain, simple manner. If you are interested in the development of the race along cultural lines, here is your opportunity to do your part in bringing about this condition. Invest in the Douglass Amusement Corporation stock, and help to make the Corporation a success and a distinct asset to the race. THE SITE—of this magnificent theatre (now in course of construction) is on Pennsylvania avenue between Lanvale street and Lafayette avenue, and is the best location for a building or this kind, anywhere in the city. THE GROUND was purchased for cash—there are no mortgages or ground rent—such is our faith in the possibilities of Baltimore as a theatrical money-maker and we have already commenced the building of the theatre. THIS THEATRE will cost four hundred thousand dollars($400,000) and will be as beautiful as the Dunbar Theatre in Philadelphia. THAT THE colored people of Baltimore may have the opportunity of having a theatre of their own, and at the same time share in the profits, we have organized the Douglass Amusement Corporation, incorporated under the laws of Maryland and Capitalized for $500,000. THE FACT that the Dunbar Theatre in Philadelphia under the same guidance has been able to pay a dividend of $% during the first year of its operation should prove conclusively to anyone that this latest venture will pay handsome Dividends to the investor. IT SHOULD NOT be necessary to present any greater arguments in favor of purchasing this stock than the fact that the building is now being erected and the personnel of the management of the Corporation. THE RESPONSE which has come to the efforts of the Corporation thus far has been highly gratifying. Baltimore has rallied grandly to the idea of a theatre for our people and owned by our people. NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT! THIS ISSUE OF STOCK IS LIMITED Do not let tomorrow find you undecided what to do. Delay may mean another lost opportunity over which you may have many regrets. E. C.

Promoters all over the country are a match for Harry Wills is about twenty-five pounds heavier, but Willard was sixty pounds heavier than Henry and Norfolk, and would probably make up the difference. For that matter, Dempsey will be a good twenty pounds heavier than Carpenter, so the difference in weight between the two battling players does not make it any one-sided affair. Norfolk has been dropping 260-pounders without extending himself, but so far none of them have been any Harry Wills by eight or ten kilometers.

Eastern Champions—Orange, N. J. A crowd not up to the usual standard in attendance witnessed two cleverly played games last night at Market Armory. The Oriole Girls easily romped away with the Harrisburg Independents to the tune of 25 to 7. Morgan College took the Yankees championship series from the 'Y Big Pive by a 13 to 12 victory. The first game was between the young ladies. The visitors presented a rather young looking team with a light of fight, they started off with run, but was only for the moment. As a Miss Daylock of the visions was the most consistent player for her team, making eight of her teams points via the field goal route. Miss Matthews, her running mate, played fairly well, but was off on shooting fours making only one out of five tries. For the Orioles, Theresa White was the usual star, scoring twelve points, there baskets and six fours of ten tries. Marie Spriggs made three double deckers and played an all-around good game. E. Thompson played a clever game at center. Tryphena Camper, who has been on the sick list all winter played the full game and showed much of her old form. Gladys Gaines was ever on her forward not allowing herself to be uncovered a moment. Score at end of first half was 13 to 7. Line-up: HARRISBURG Raylock Matthews Dent Bell C. Deni F. F. C.

Morgan And "Y" Game A Tirreller The Morgan College Quint had previously twice defeated the "Y" Five and was cut to win the third game in order to clinch the five game series with the necessary victory, but it was only after forty minutes of grunting work, did the "Y" five succumb. It was Sorrell of Morgan who would not be stopped by work by both teams Sorrell unimoled, got the first basket, a real beauty from near mid-foot. 182-foot for either clever double-decker. It was evident Sorrell should have been a marked man, for he is unquestionably a dangerous shot in the open. Fletcher, by this height pushed in one under the ball, the back half was substituted for the "Y" and in less than a minute made a dandy from a difficult angle. Shortly before the half ended Sorrell made another spectator long shot from the side. Sorrell scored at end of half was 10-5 with Morgan on the long end. Tight Guarding In Second Half Some exceptional tight guarding was done by both teams during this game. Their feet on their feet at each snap of the ball. Not until ten minutes of whirlwind play was either team able to score, when Fletcher suddenly loomed in the open and broke the ice with Morgan. Hodges, Morgan's left guard was guilty of the four personal four rule and was sent from the game. The "Y" quintet seemed to have an excellent chance Fight they did with a one point lead and five minutes to play with the "Y" coming strong, it looked like but out of bounds. The "Y" should have won the game on fouls but Cooper was not in his usual good form. Such guarding as was showing in the last five minutes of play was the whistle blew and Morgan emerged the victors 13 to 12. Line-up: "Y" MORGAN Langley F. Sorrell Dorssey (Capt.) F.

Eyckett Lane Many have requests come to the writer to select all star teams composed of the country's best players. It is a difficult job, and usually evokes, much criticism, however some teams have made a semble teams which include the best material that has been produced this season. While of course the selection is not infallible, there has been an effort to make use players who an offer to the game, in the last analysis it would be a combination of the best tossers of all clubs, not necessarily all stars, yet five that would prove machines if the opportunity were ever offered to combing the talent. Plenty Of Material The season has brought forth a wealth of material for the forwards. Posey and Blutt are picked. For the most part their work has been superior individually. To the floor work has been of the sensual variety. Sessons at center of Loendi, for all-around ability of the men. The guards Young and Hubbard are clever shots and hardmen to shake off. On the second team Jenkins of St. C. and Fields works for the men. Jenkins is a bray for work to say the least, but does not measure up in all-around work to Posey and Blutt. Fields work for the men. The excellent basket shot and a floor man of speed and ability. Sloogm of Spartans possesses all the advantages of the idea for the men. Forbes and Betts as second team guards would form as sturdy a defense a team could desire. They would be able to face deeties of Young and Hubbard. While the foregoing represents the best players of the season, honorable mention could be made. Howard, Vandula Richardson. Howard U. Browne Athenson, Swan, Titans and Hill Carlyles, forwards, forward U. Browne and Tibbs Athenson center; Gumps, Spartans and Hilton, Vandals guards. Girls Show Class Blanche Winston and Fannie Minor showed the way as girl forwards, their combined efforts have not been equaled. It is this combination which has allowed whose players must be able to stand out as individuals and yet be able to work with their teammates. Elizabeth Anthony of the Athenian Girls is easily the best team in all of her opponents, a factor which has been one of the Athenians leading points. Louise Parrott's defense work has been one of the bright features of the Athenians play this season, a minor worker and a dangerous shot. Tryptophan Camper at the other side of the road. In Miss Parrot, yet she is dependable and has shown all forwards the hard task of not easily being able to climb. Second Team Classy Theresa White of the Orioles and "Jeeny" Brown of the Athletics at forward would form quite a dangerous pair being excellent floor wink. Both are capable shots from the field and the foul mark and have been the bright stars for their respective teams all. .Like A Bank. WE Save Money For You If you give us a Chance to Serve You. B. S.

Miss Duffy of the Curtles and Geraldine Dalmer of the Athletus are tight guards to say least form in the season at the court game. The latter is an excellent stationary guard, even on her forward as was shown in the recent Curtles-Athletus game when詹姆斯 well into the second half before she was able to garner a field goal. Honorable mention should go to Misses Fletcher Morgan of the Athletus as forwards: B. Thompson of Orioles center; Gladys Gaines and H.

In the neighborhood of the park sent out petitions for the purpose of enjoining the Negro leagues from playing on the grounds, that they were offended by the identity of the park. The decision came like a thunderbolt to those who were fighting the Negroes and the public is glad to know what sport lovers and the public time are not easily prejudiced. Washington, D. C., April 7—President Harding is a baseball "fan" as well as golfing enthusiast. He is about to be presented with a trophy by the local league of colored baseball players. It is now a paceboard, but consists of solid gold, handsomely engraved with CHECKER MATCH ON SATURDAY Local "Y" Team Journeys To D. C. Other Activities The membership committee of the local "Y" scored a win on Thursday the evening, building on the success and most attractive programs of activities ever held at the new "Y" 500 members visited the building on this evening and there were five big programs going on at the same time. No dull moments. The lobby was crowded and thence to the pool and billiard room where special features were booted. The billiard match between Elmer Brown and Jos. Hadden provided a winner, for every minute the Two Or More Teams In Each School Is Aim Of Public Athletic League, Which Will Direct Games LETTERS TO PRINCIPALS Each Is Asked To Send In Names Of Boys Eligible To Represent School The boys of the Baltimore City Public Schools are to have a real baseball league beginning May 5th. It will be directed by the Public Athletic League and financed by the AFRO-AMERICAN. This is the announcement which was sent out yesterday by the Public Athletic League to every school principal in the city. In a letter signed by Mr. John L. Clark, field leader, who will direct the enrollment of the players, the formation of the teams and the contests, each school principal is asked to send in a list of the baseball players of his school, who will want to play in the AFRO BASEBALL LEAGUE. After the lists are in, Mr. Clark will supervise the formation of teams in each school, and work out a schedule of games, to be played on diamonds at Druid Hill Park. Provvision will also be made for teams to practice beforehand. With the start of the regular schedule, baseballs, catcher's mitt, mask and breast protector, and first baseman's mitt will be furnished for each team. Players will only have to provide their own fielder's gloves and bats. Mr. Clark will also turn up umpires and keep score. All the school boys will have to do is to get themselves together and practice hard to win the beautiful pennant that will go to the championship school baseball team of the city. This is the first effort ever made to foster baseball in the schools; and the AFRO-AMENICAN is going to do everything it can to make it a success. The first thing, however, is to get every baseball player in the schools enrolled, and his Monday, April 25th. Next week the Afro will talk about the schedule and the likely number of teams in the League.

The actors for the day were the Norfolk Giants and the Brooklyn Slides of Richmond. The team had a coach. The sun shown forth with all its radiance and the budding forth of the trees and grass gave every evidence of one of those rare days in June. Many coolest fans, and the fair sex lent their gorgeous Easter costumes to make the scene complete. Chaple Johnson, the scrappy local boys men all dressed up uniforms and everything. His line-up consisted mostly of old men from last year's team. Having undergone a dressing room last week, the men all seemed fit for the fray.

Cook, fifth, twenty-fifth and twenty-eighth, respectively, in the first thirty. Let's move up this year. Jeff Clarke, the "fighting ghost" of Joplin, Mo., knocked out K. O. Brennan, white of Philly in the first round of their scheduled eight round bout in Atlantic City last Thursday night. Jack McAuliffe announced his intention of invading England with Kid Norfolk. He thinks he can reap a harvest with the chunky Norfolk. R. M. M. Davidson in the Philadelphia American says, "The Sports Editor (Joe Rainey) of the Philadelphia American has several times made it plain that he considers "Scrapy" Brown a very good man, but not at all in Rainey's class. "Scrapy" doubts it. The track team representing Salem Crescens of New York contains two senior A. A. N. champions in Howard Drew and Roy Morse. Drew and Morse are training faithfully and are very optimistic over Salem Crescens' chances during the summer track season. Pedro Merales, the Cuban ball player, who may be seen in action this season with the Pittsburgh Giants, claims Frank "Stranglelet" Forbes one of the best shortstops in colored baseball. Jo Rainey is rounding into form and has announced his intention to enter the Metropolitan A. A. V. Championships to be held in New York on June 11. Gerald Allen, Pitt's colored track star, has made the team and will complete for Pitt in the half mile, quarter mile and broad jump at the Penn kelays in Philadelphia April 29 and 30. Marathon aspirants can be seen running thru the streets, getting in trim for the high school 21-2 mile run, to be staged next month. The Athenian Baseball team is shaping up for the coming season. They seem to have the making for a classy nine. The proposed Carlyle-Aleo basketball game for the District of Columbia Championship still hangs in the distance. The teams were to have gotten together this Friday night. Maybe they will—next year. Dope picks the Athenian Arrows as the city's lightweight champs. They defeated Morgan College and St. Mary's. Morgan College defeated Morgan College, the "Y" team is practically St. Mary's. Who's who? FOSTERITES BLANK BLACK CRACKERS Atlanta Ga. April 7—The Atlanta Black Crackers were defeated last Tuesday afternoon by Rueben T. Gomez at Atlanta. The Gomez team made a matchup's battle between Hampton, for Atlanta and Mitchell, for the Giants. The Giants have been playing ball in the first trimester. While the Crackers have not played a game this year. First Baseman Grant and Shortstop Williams play the game to win, while Captain Cox, First Baseman Means and O'Neil did the best work for the locals. The teams will meet again this week in a doubleheader. McCain will take the hill for the Crackers, while Williams and Johnson will be the hurriers for the Giants.

ALL READY FOR INDPENDENT REPUBLICANS First State-wide Convention To Be Called To Order At Lyceum Hall Tuesday TO HONOR HAWKINS Former Candidate For U. S. Senate Will Be Banquetted At Masonic Temple The convention of the Independent Political League, which will be held at Lyceum Hall Biddle and Eutaw streets, next Tuesday, promises to be well attended. Those attending will come from all parts of the city and various counties, and it is expected that a program will be adopted, which will not only include opposition to lily-whitism, but will back men and women of the race who run for public office. Better schools in the counties will be urged, equal pay for colored teachers, and equal accommodations on trains and steamboats. At the opening session, next Tuesday at 10 A. M., J. Steward Davis, who will preside, will deliver the keynote speech, W. Ashleb Hawkins, who ran for the United States Senate as an independent Republican, will deliver an address outlining the attitude the race should take toward men and measures. A free and open discussion of the plans of the League will take place at the afternoon session, when a permanent organization will be affected. Mayor Breenning's indifference to the political and civic needs of the colored people of this city and the refusal of state Republicans to recommend colored voters for any federal appointments in Maryland are said to have made the Independent Republican League much stronger than it was last fall. A banquet in honor of Mr. W. Ashleb Hawkins will wind up the convention in the evening. This function will be held at the Masonic Temple. McCullough and Mosher streets, and toasts will be responded to by prominent speakers. WANTED REFUND When Daniel Earle, a widower who lives at 2416 Oak street, procured a marriage license in the office of the Court of Common Pleas, Tuesday to wed Mrs. Mary E. Wyatt, who admits she is a widow of 41 summers, he wanted to know from Clerk Tom O'Neil would he get his money back should he decide that wedlock would be a bad bargain. "If you turn your license in before four o'clock today," responded Clerk O'Neil. Earle, who is 48 years of age, said that everything was not to his liking during his first marriage, and he thought a refund was due him, should all not be well with this marriage. He pocketed his license, however, and started out for his bride-to-be. Have your Work or Installment No cash Money Required and Painting, Paper Hanging soming, Brick Work, Ro FELDENHEIMER ILL?

We hope Mr. Taft would make a better record as Chief Justice than he has made as chief adviser to the Negro. While we are busy doing our Spring house-cleaning why not take a turn at Spring mind-cleaning. The more we think about the matter the firmer becomes our conviction that being president is no sinseure job. Keeping your eyes on Heaven, is all right, but how about keeping your eyes on the pitfalls of life? This may be the way to get to Heaven. THE CITY WILL MISS THEM The transfer of Rev. M. J. Naylor, Rev. H. W. S. Thomas and Rev. C. R. Hodges from the pastorates of local Methodist Episcopal churches to fields outside the state means a loss of sterling workers which will be regretted by the many hupdreds of Lithuaniaans who knew them. Rev. Mr. Naylor completed his ninth year at Sharp Street Church, which he cleared of debt, and improved. In addition Sharp Street, famed as the richest congregation South of New York, was ably managed during these years, and has nearly completed the work on its $70,000 Community House. Rev. Mr. Hodges won the love and respect of those he served by his unselfish devotion to the work he had selected. Rev. Hodges built up a strong organization in Ashbury Church, and was preparing to build a new church home. Rev. Mr. Thomas at Metropolitan found a large congregation when he came several years ago and was universally loved in his porch by reason of his willingness to serve and his quiet dignity. Baltimore's loss in this case means the gain of other communities. The pastors themselves while they regret to leave, go willingly because they are a part of an illiterant ministry. Nevertheless they carry with them the best wishes of many to whom they have endeared themselves. THE DEADLY PARALLEL President C. B. D. King, head of the Liberian Republic of West Africa, came to this country, practically unheralded, a month ago. Officially as far as President Harding is concerned he is unnoticed, altho the Secretary of State Hughes has had a conference with President King. So much for a president and head of a little republic. Now then M. Viviani, a representative of the republic of France comes to the United States on a special mission for his country, receives the most flattering attention, is invited to see the Secretary of State almost immediately and is even given an audience with President Harding. By the bye, they even lunched together. Is it because of a difference of rank that M. Viviani gets in and Mr. King is left out? No. Mr. King is a president and ruler, while M. Viviani is only an official representative of his country. Is it because President King is colored and M. Viviani is white. We think not. We believe Mr. Harding is above drawing the color line, as ex-President Wilson drew it. Why is it then that M. Viviani comes in to America and walks into the White House to see. Mr. Harding almost immediately white President King has been here a month without getting any closer to President Harding than the State War and Navy Building? Here it is. France is a big country with almost fifty millions of people. Liberia is a little country with 50,000 of civilized folk. Nations, we regret to say, are like some snobbish people. They are polite, courteous, effusive even to their rich neighbors, while they "pass by on the other side" of their poor relative, who "has fallen among thieves." LATEST JOKE ON JOKE The Republican Conference (white) which asked President Harding to appoint Dr. Ernest Lyon, Minister to Liberia, William L. Fitzgerald, Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, W. T. Andrews, Fourth Auditor of the Navy, and W. I. Blake, Recorder of Land Office, continues to "joke" with the "joke committee of 35." The AFRO-AMERICAN has steadily maintained since last fall that the Republicans of Maryland never meant to do justice by the colored voters, when it came to office holding. This latest stunt of recommending four men for four different positions clinches this argument. Had the white Republicans intended to be honest and fair with the colored brother, they would have found something for him in the state that is certain, instead of recommending him for jobs in Washington, and in Africa for which there are thousands of applicants. Besides as it has been pointed out, such jobs as Minister to Liberia are of an honorary nature and bring no such benefit to the people of the state as might come to them thru the appointment of some colored man as assistant U. S. District Attorney or Deputy Marshall. The white Republicans are after all very genuine politicians. They slice everything visible for themselves, and gracefully turn over the "invisible" to their FRIENDS? KID NORFOLK'S GENEROSITY Kid Norfolk. Baltimore prizefighter, gave the entire purse of a recent New York fight amounting to $2,500 to the poor kids of Ireland otherwise known as the Irish Relief Fund. Norfolk, who is a local fighter, and a good one at that, has made some money out of prize fighting, but not much. He is not a wealthy man, and the $2,500 or whatever portion of this due him after paying off his manager was quite a considerable amount. In this city recently the "Kid" has staged two fights, the first with Jamaica Kid at the Fifth Regiment Armory, and the second with Jeff Clark at the Fourth Regiment Armory. In one of these bouts he got a purse of $1,000 from the Eureka Athletic Club and in the other a purse of $2,000 from the same club. Taking these fights into consideration together with others in New York, and elsewhere, the "bronzed fighter" has pulled down $10,000 at least this year and maybe more. Since this is true, anyone can see how from the goodness of his heart, Kid Norfolk could hand out 2,500 beans to the poor Irish kids. But, this is what we are getting to. Within a stone's throw of Norfolk's Baltimore home, are some poor black kids as poor as any anywhere in Ireland. Like Bert Williams, "Elder Eatmore" they need everything from their hats down and from their overcats in. It is a shame for anybody to ask them what they need for they need everything, and we know now, as we did not know before that when the Kid's home folks come around to get a contribution to help the poor black kiddies of Baltimore, he will write them a check with just as much pleasure as he wrote the one for $2,500 for the poor white kiddies of Ireland. BLIND AND OTHER BLIND In 1910 there were 57,000 people in the United States who were blind. Nearly nine thousand of them were colored. Some of them were blind from birth, others afflicted by disease, accident or strain, but all of them were shut off from the light of God's beautiful sunshine the contemplation of the physical wonders of the universe and the feeling of freedom of locomotion and independence. These, however, were not all the blind people in the United States tabulated by the Bureau of Census. Over in another section of the Census records were set down three million whites and two million colored people who were also blind. Actually the Census Bureau classifies these five millions under the head of ILLITERATES, but being unable to read and write and being blind amount to the same thing. The Illiterate is mentally blind. The wisdom of the ages as it is made public in books and newspapers is to him a perfect blank and unless he is eating or drinkingor gambling, his leisure time is seldom enjoyable shent. The physically blind point to John Milton, Helen Keller, Blind Tom and a ghost of others who in spite of their blindness made the world a better place in which to live. Unfortunately the mentally blind, the Illiterate can point to no such heroes. To use the words of Ingersoll "they had lived and died unnoticed and unknown except by those who loved them." Illiteracy is decreasing in the nation according to the Census Bureau returns last week from the first three states in which the 1920 enumeration has been worked out on the subject. In Alabama where the percentage of illiteracy was found to be 22.9 of the total population over ten years of age in 1910, the 1920 percentage was 15.1. In Arkansas the percentage dropped from 26 in 1910 to 19.4 in 1920, and in Delaware from 8.1 in 1910 to 5.9 in 1920. The striking thing about these figures is the rapid rate at which ignorance is being wiped out. If the present rate continues in thirty years every single person in these three states will be able to read and write. While these figures apply to the whole population, white and colored, the Census Bureau declares that the proportion of illiteracy among colored people declined also in the past ten years. OLD TIMER BACK FOR EASTER WEEK But Boned Squab.. Pineapple Supreme, And Clark's Ice Cream. Make His Rheu- matism Worse. "Where have you been so lonk" was the man's greeting for Old Timer Wednesday when he met him in front of the Sharp Street Chisholm Community House which is almost complete. "Where is I been?" rejoined the old man, "Where isn't I been, Lemmie see. I see been to Washington and asked President Harding and Secretary Hughes to do best to worry along without sendin' Doc Lyon to Liberty, or whatsomeplace it is. I see the President that, Bishop Sampson Brooks and Bishop Clair is over there now, and they hadn't order be worrit by Doc Lyons. "Whew" gasped the reporter, "Did you tell the President that?" "That which" answered the old fellow, "Ain't he a man of a newspaper, and ain't I talker fur one. Why shouldn't I speak out plain to him." "Where else have you been?" ventured the reporter. "Then I been down to Annapolis to attend that air M. E. conference, and the things I seen and heard was just terrific. Why Bishop McDougald and the Sidin' Olders got together and moved Rev. Naylor from Sharp Street because he had built a gate to the parsonage and a buildin' this year community house. Then they move Rev. Hodges and sends him down in West Virginia because he, raised $17,000 this year and was gettin' ready to build a new church for Ashury. Yes sir, they don't want too much 'intimate' 'gressiveness and building fever in preachers. If you start to build something away you go. Look what happened to Rev. Mitchell. If you don't-build nothing and sit tight and saw wood, then the Bishop don't bother you. I that they moved Rev. Hodges because he York Rite Mason declared the reporter. "That had something to do with it" O. T. rejoined. "Them old Masons vowed they was going to get rid of any person who flowed them York Fiter to get a foot hold, and they is boastin' now what a good piece of work they is done in gittin' rid of Porson Hodges." "Why did they transfer Rev. Thomas from Metropolitan?" asked the Reporter. "Boy!" said O. T. "I ain't tell everything I knows, I am keeping sometimes for the lodge room." I must not forget to mention that your folks turned them on in Atlantic City Easter Sunday. I wanted to tell you about it before, but I am telling you now, if same of them wimmin I saw on the boardwalk wear dresses any shorter or have any more stitches drapped out their stockings, they will sure look like September morn about the nights. My rheumics bothered me so much I couldn't walk everywhere I wanted to, so got me into one of them there wheel chair and then I got two eyes full sure enough. My pusher pointed out to me the place where they is going to put up a half million dollar hotel for culling folks." "I hear the white people is anxious to see some sich hotel 'rected so' collud people won't be strolling around the lobby in the St. Charles, eatin' in the dining rooms in the Haddon Hall and Holmhurst. You know since they got that 'Ekal Right' law in New Jersey colored folks can eat and sleep where they durned please. "When did you get back" asked the reporter finally. "I got back Monday in time to see Prey King and them Libriberians shake a laug at the Half Century ball. They night worked me to death this week. First I helped the caterer man what served the dinner party of forty at Doc Wrights' house before the dance, then I served them hundred and twenty-five dancers at the Lyceum. Then Tuesday I served a breakfast to eighten winnim at Banker Hatchets, and they had courses beginning with—"Cornflakes" suggested the reporter. "Cornflakes nothin. You let me tell it.

War Risk Bureau Exposed By Associated Negro The Associated Negro Press Washington, April 6.—Starting information will be revealed in the War Risk Investigation asked for by President Harding. General Charles G. Dawes, of Chicago, heads the Commission, and Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt is one of the members. The Commission is now sitting in Washington, and during its sessions it will be disclosed that Negro soldiers, in that department, under the Wilson administration suffered shameful and unbelievable treatment. One of the former officers who served in the War Risk Department, Lieut. J. Williams Clifford, has gathered a fund of data on this subject, and he will offer it to the Commission. In an exclusive interview for The Associated Negro Press, he declared: "It was because my petitions for these suffering men were practically ignored that I resigned from the department some time ago." The people will be aroused to action when they know what these brave boys are going through. What we need is close, sympathetic contact with all former soldiers. There are thousands of opportunities to be helpful that thousands of soldiers do not know anything about. We must educate them into the advantages of war risk, but the discriminations must be stopped. Jieut. Clifford showed the Associated Negro Press representative letters that he has received from various soldiers. Only brief quotations from a few of them can be given here. QUOTATIONS FROM SOLDIERS Oscar Flewellen, of Maco, Texas; "I have asked these doctors here in camp to send in my medical record but they will not look after the interests of the colored boys. . . Colored boys are treated like cattle and dogs. The officers are low bred, uncoush, and if they are not careful a race riot is liable to occur as these boys have all decided to stick if anything occurs." S. H. Cavlt, Houston, Texas: "I write you in the Interest of our colored returned soldiers and the treatment that is given them as to their just compensation and hospital treatment. It is quite evident that they are not getting what the Government gives to them owing to the fact that there is no one here to represent them in their grievances; as the "doctors and nurses turn deaf ears to their pleadings." Lloyd Bates, Texasarkana, Ark.: "Just received the letter stating that you have cut my compensation from $30.00 per month to $18.00 per month. I want to know why you cut the colored boys and allow the whites in the South to get $20.00 to $115.00 per month. I am asking how I am to work when I lost my chances when I entered the army, for I am now unable to walk and work and I am a cripple. I want a new rating from some doctor who does not call us Nigger and make us wait two hours until all the whites are waited on. I have proof from over 500 colored men in Camp Logan who will say the same." Augustus Stansbury, Dallas, Texas: "It seems that all these white doctors here are giving us a raw deal they will not send in our medical reports so that we can get our compensation." Theodore Roe, Holley, Ark.: "I have waited patiently to hear from my medical report but it seems that no one in this camp will write or send in our reports for compensation. We do know they will write to the Bureau for the white boys but not for us." J. E. Davis, Y. M. C. A. secretary, Marshall, Texas, writes: "I do not know how it is in other states, but may I say to you that hundreds of colored people hereabouts in the State of Texas are being robbed, cheated, deprived of the things rightly due them from the Bureau. I have just received information of a man's having secured an agreement from the War Risk policies for the payment of a considerable sum of the proceeds if he will adjust it or get them the money." There are scores and scores of cases similar to these, many of them unprintable in their scandulous debauchery. In the matter of neglect, covering up and studied insult, it appears that thousands of disabled colored Americans have suffered untold agony. The Associated Negro Press Lexington, N. C., April 7.—James Hargrave, the treasurer of the Union Baptist Negro Church, will be tried in the Recorder's court during the April term for the embezzlement of the church's fund which he held. $558.91 is said to be the amount that has disappeared through the dishonesty of Hargrave. The defendant denies the charge and claims that the whole matter is one of misunderstanding and has been brought about by the complicated book-keeping of the church secretary. IN SPEAKERS CHAIR IN N. J. (Trenton New Jersey Times). For the first time in the history of New Jersey a Negro yesterday occupied the chair of speaker of the House of Assembly. The honor was accorded to Assemblyman Walter G. Alexander of Newark a member of the Essay delegation, by Speaker George S. Hobart. The latter was called to attend the National Guard investigation and appointed the Negro in his place. Dr. Alexander, a physician, was too modest to move a vote on a resolution expressing the respect of the House on his ability as a legislator. BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU CHEER (Savannah Mangum, Mangum, Mangum) When Percy Mangum, a widely known Negro, was declared not guilty on a murder charge in the Superior Court here yesterday, his friends in the court room roared with cheers. Judge Meldrum didn't take the applause kindly and ordered more than 100 Negroes arrested for contempt.

Such was the span of the life of this illustrious prelate and Prince of the Ancient Roman Catholic Church. His was a life filled with noble deeds. He was an Irishman, by which Negroes should measure that gifted but unfortunate race. His was the spirit of Ireland's peerless orator, Daniel O'Connell. Cardinal Gibbons not only believed in, but practiced in his daily life, the Brotherhood of Man. His religion was not lip service but his religion. Just before his death he decried "Negroism to society what cement is to a modern society; it makes all parts compact and coherent. The teachings of Christ have been the basis of all Christian legislation for nearly 2000 years, and continue to be the light and guide for hundreds of millions of souls." In North Carolina, at 43, and later in Virginia, we find him building schools for Negroes and affirming: "Religion teaches that we are all Children of the same Path, that all children of the same Redeemer, and consequently members of the same family. It teaches me the brotherhood of humanity." His church has never seriously appealed to the Negro in the United States. "However, it is only in Catholic countries that Negroes have really risen to man's estate. There we've had Negro Bishops, Generals and Statesmen. What question if the Negro of this country should carry his intelligence to this majestic organization in any considerable numbers, it would his uplift hastily speed. The spirit of the democracy of the Roman Catholic Church is shown, in the wonderful career of the late Cardinal. He was a poor boy. But in a quarter of a century after he entered the priesthood, he was paving the way for the new Popees are selected. At the election" of Plus X. he had a chance of being elevated to the Pontificate. We are, not so sure that the Italians wanted to take such a chance in electing an American and an Irishman again, so the election of the present Pontiff came to an end just before ordaining Gibbons arrived at the college in Rome. He was chosen, then likely the war conditions of the sea in 1014 had something to do with the Cardinal's tardy arrival in Rome.

WILLIAM PICKENS COMMENTS UPON "BRAINLESS LOGIC" OF KELLY MILLER To the Editor: Dean Kelly Miller wants us to send a Jew or some other race's man as minister to Hayti, rather than an 'AMERICAN who happens to be colored. We are surprised that Mr. Miller should take such a view, as it would certainly be unfortunate for the interests of all colored folk, in Hayti, the United States, and everywhere else. if white Americans are given any firmer hold on Hayti than they now have. But the thing that surprises us most of all is the "logic" by which Prof. Miller seeks to prove that it is best to send a Jew to Hayti. We had always regarded Prof. Miller as being logical, but we see now that he is rather mathematical, and the logic of mathematics is not at all like the logic of life and commensense. Two plus two always makes four—in mathematics. But two lions plus two lambs, makes neither four lions nor four lambs—anywhere on earth. Paradoxically enough, the PLUS in this latter case is likely to result in a subtraction. Mathematics and formal "logic" are not the logic of commensense. Now just listen to what Prof. Miller actually deduced. I wonder if he will want to own it when he thinks it over. Listen: "We would hardly send an Italian ambassador to Italy" or a Frenchman to France or a Russian to Russia"—and therefore we should not send an AMERICAN (who happens to wear a black skin or a black pair of socks) to Haytii! In the name of Howard University, where did such brainless logic come from? He compares the sending of a colored American to Haytii with the sending of an "Italian to Italy." Prof. Miller unconsciously (to be generous) adopts the white man's viewpoint: THAT A NEGRO IS A NEGRO RATHER THAN AN AMERICAN AND SHOULD BE TREATED FIRST OF ALL AS A NEGRO AND NOT AS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN. while all other peoples from all other parts of the world, even the they be in only the second generation here, are to be regarded as Americans. Arkansas and Mississippi could not do better than that to save their mortal lives. If such "logic" meant anything it would mean that we should not send any man of Spanish descent to Mexico or Central America; that we should not send any man of Portuguese descent to Brazil; or any Anglo-Saxon to England or Canada; or hardly anybody at all to any place—unless indeed we sent black people to about all the countries of Europe and Asia, and white people only to Liberia and Haiti. But when you think it all over, that "logic" means nothing but a prominent place on the page of some daily newspaper. We have to give it to Prof. Miller: he fell down flat that time. WILLIAM PICKENS. N. Y. C. A PROPHECY Dr. A. B. Wilson Wrote Us March 12th That Mr. Barnum Would Not Win Nomination For Hagerstown City Council Replying to your letter of this A. M. in regard to Mr. Barnum's chances for election to the City Council, will say that he has no chance at all. For the reason that there are in the 5th ward 639 democrats and 725 white republicans against 436 Negro republicans and one Negro democrat. A. B. WILSON. The colored Republicans, of this city have sent letters to the department at Washington, in which they urge the retention of the present corps of office holding Federal positions in this State. The colored Republicans are at war with the Lilies faction which has control, and it is taking this step in order to have the spoilism defeated. The colored people have no show whatever for the places to be filled. CHUCKLES By WILLIAM HARRIS Then we went up on St. Mary's street and saw this. "The early bird catches the worm. That is if the 'milk wagon don't run over the worm! Prohibition would be all right if it didn't stop you from drinking liquor." Can You Beat That? Isn't it funny that a gay man says "slow" instead of saying "store" will insist that he was born and raised in Washington, D. C. and a man with wife and six children will pay the rent for an outside woman when his wife needs shoes.

What's The Use "We asked the wife, what the pastor's text was last Sunday. She said she didn't know.

Not So Loud Next Time Some people say that money talks. But with the most of us it only says one thing and that's good-bye! Prayer is the key that unlocks Heaven's door, so they say, BITT, we prayed one night to get in our little old door right down here, and the cop came along and carried us to the booby hatch which goes to prove that you must watch as well as pray. Straight Goods Mr. Granville Gradgins of Grungrunthen, Ga., wants to know if an automobile will go fifty miles on a gallon of gasoline how far, will a mule go on a gallon of oats? We don't know exactly but we don't think the mule will go as far on a gallon of oats as a lynching mob will go after a Negro. Nuff Cod How far will a colored man go on a gallon of gin? With the kind we are getting now he is liable to go crazy and then some. JURY SASSES JUDGE Declares It Knows More About Law Than His Honor The Associated Negro Press Chicago, April 7—Judge Joseph David received a surprise when a jury returned a verdict of guilty, last Monday, after he had virtually directed a verdict of not guilty. The Judge decided the evidence against Ben Smith, colored, charged with a serious offense, was insufficient, and so instructed the jury. "Under the rules," he said. "I cannot instruct you to return a verdict of not guilty. But in my opinion the evidence here is insufficient to warrant a conviction. In fact, I'm going to tell you right now that if you do not find the defendant not guilty, I'll set the verdict aside." The jury retired. After five minutes the judge became impatient. "Like," he said to his personal bailiff, "it seems the jurors are taking a long time to bring in a not guilty verdict. Go and see what's the matter." "We're ready," the jurors told the bailiff. The foreman handed the clerk this verdict: "We the jurors, find Ben Smith guilty as charged in the indictment." Judge David jumped to his feet. "I'll see that this never happens again," he cried, thoroughly aroused. "This verdict is set aside. The Zucker ruling may forbid the court to instruct a jury to bring in a 'not guilty' verdict. But—well this won't happen again." Turning toward the jury he said: "You evidently think you know more about the law than the court." "We do"; the foreman said. The complainant was a 16 year old white boy. South will be given a new trial. Charlotte, N. C.

He sent his son to the jails of the nearby towns, to Macon and to other places, paid the officers a bribe and "hired" these Negroes to "work out" their fines on his farm. He was enslaving them, and the officers from whom he secured them knew he was enslaving them. And any state that permits such farming out of convicts is guilty of flagrant violation of the National Constitution and should have ALL its representation denied in Congress. What right have we to talk about freedom of Ireland or of any other place or people? The English have no such slave system in Ireland as exists in Georgia and in the whole Mississippi Valley. in the UP we we say, LET THE BRITISH GET UP A COMMITTEE OF ONE HUNDRED TO HOLD HEARINGS ON ATROCITIES IN THE SOUTHERN UNITED STATES, and we can tell them some things they had never dreamed of in Ireland.

"He choked me, and hit me, and threw me over on the bed. Then he beat me and slapped me, two feet apart, and began the one foot and perked me off the bed on my back." I had been operated on in the back and it hurt me extremely. I struggled to my teeth, and I began the window, and choked me, and slapped me.

Don't blame nobody else." Then he lit a cigarette and signed his confession. It was not he that killed the woman. It was Alcohol.

The Living Dead Man $ ^{99} $ FRIDAY, APRIL 8th, 1921. James Tyson, pursued by a mob set on lynching him, is tracked by bloodhounds to the river, where the trail ends. CHAPTER TWO If the mob in search of James Tyson had arrived at the riverbank a few moments earlier, it would have seen him hastily and excitedly walking in water up to his knees, in an effort to throw the bloodhounds off his trail. Or if the water had been slow closing on his footsteps, he would have been overtaken but water like all nature, is no respector of persons. It resists everything, never surrendering its sovereignty without struggle, and when its domain is invaded, soon hides all signs of the encounter. Several times Tyson stopped in holes and went down in water up to his waist and once he thought the water would surely claim him when he stepped, into a hole so deep that the water went over his head. At the very instant the hounds reached the bank, Tyson chambered out of the ice water onto a support neath the bridge leading from Crackleville to the Potter's Field. Here he paused, expecting at any moment to see the approaching mole, who was covered from head to feet with mud. His clothes were torn to tatters. He had run nearly five miles, and despite the fact that he had just emerged from the mole, he was streaming. His head swirled and he felt tain, Summoning all of his courage and strength, he swung by his hands from one support to another, and the ground well under the bridge. Here he let go of the support and clumsily settling on the ground, betrayed unconscious. As the first rays of the sun were peeping up from the east, Tyson clutched, heavy with mud, hung like lead from his shoulders. He was chilled to the bone. He made an effort to move himself and found that he was like rusty metal refused to move. He slow degrees, Tyson realized the seriousness of his situation. The events of the previous evening, re-encountered housemates that he was on his way home from his work in the Cruckerville Post Office, and had boarded a sweet seat in the colored section of the car were occupied but that there were several vacant seats back of the sign stack on top of the dividing seat reading: "For Negroes." Clearly, it was the conductor's duty to move the Jim-Crow sign further back in the car, but he did not do this, and Tyson, though from his day's work, stood the When the street car stopped at Main street, "opposite the Georgia Central Railway station, a young man came and came and came and a six month old baby in her arms, struggled into the front entrance of the car, visibly weared from travel, sunk down into one of the seats back on the Jim-Crow sign. No sooner had she let her suit case touch the floor and was arranging the clothing of her little one, when the conductor apologized and brought a disgruntled frown on his face. Hastily, she reached for her pocket book and offered him her fare. "Why Niger," he scowled, "who told you to sit here?" "Why, no," she faltered, and found herself unable to speak. "Get out of here and get where you belong before I throw you and pick a kickaway off the car," he said. Frightened, the young mother made no effort to move and the car it to take hold of her, but his hand did not reach her for at this juncture Tyson, who had seen and heard all, emptied the contents of the car and rolled into his body and bounded off the front end of the car before the startled motorman could come stop. "I'll never get away," he thought to himself as he lay there helpless. "Why didn't I give my life? would all be over by this time." Looking up, Tyson saw several men approaching the bridge in wide directions; and while they were watching, he knew that if he emerged from under the bridge, it would mean certain all his courage and strength. He pushed himself as far back as possible. A few minutes before, he had gripped that he had not given himself up. Now, with the approach of the posse, and death, he escaped and life. He felt sure that he had been seen by some one in the mob. Tyson manager to draw his revolver to the bosom of his shirt. He almost forgotten what he had done with it, but as he pushed himself up, it seemed he had stopped the cold steel against his body. He did not even know how many shots he had fired. He the men drew nearer his heart, but it seemed had stopped beating, but he brought through his whole body. He hindered: not so much from fear of death but from the way he should have to die—probably burn to death. He thought of his mother—his dear mother, whom he knew to be trembling, crying and praying for her. He thought of his brothers and sisters. The horse was now but ten or fifteen feet from him.

Now the Negroes are loudly clamoring for the re- lease of the unspaced cash and have taken up the matter with the county prosecutor. CHESTERTOWN Ghestertown, Md. April 7—The services atSETHEL A. M.

Why last week after the first installment of the description of "Eagle Eye" so very very many boys were looking for this most mysterious character — "Eagle Eye"—that a certain boy is going to buy a pair of opera glasses in order to be able to see "Eagle Eye" from a distance. So to keep "this boy" (and a few others that might like doing the same) from being disappointed, let me say right here—don't do it! Cut no opera glasses! Get no telescope! Get no microscope! Get no "look-a-scope" of any kind! Why? Well the reason is this—In magic work we are told that the more we look, the less we look. This is the base with "Eagle Eye". The more we look for him the less we see of him. Remember he is a boy of mystery. Well, last week I told you that I would tell you more about him this week. So here goes! "Eagle Eye" is the guy that loves chocolate candy—almost any time you meet him he has some chocolate covered cherries or some other equally good candy in his pocket. So watch for the boy that is always eating "good candy." Remember that "Eagle Eye" is a very mysterious guy, and he often times does some very very funny things—for example: "Eagle Eye" takes a lunch with him; he either has a pigtail sandwich or a big's car sandwich. Some times he stops by a sausage curt and buys a couple of hot dogs. So watch for the boy that eats peculiar sand-wiches. It might be "Earl Eye." Watch for the boy that has a very peculiar voice for "Eagle Eye" sometimes talks so loud and heavy that you would almost think a "bear" was talking with a husky, voice. Sometimes "Eagle Eye" speaks so softly and gently that you would think you were listening almost to the whispered voice of a bear. Is that all? Why lands, no! Yet another! Shake hands with the boy that you suspect to be "Eagle Eye" and notice "how" he likes to shake. You might catch "Eagle Eye" that way for "Eagle Eye" never likes to have a long hand shake; and if you hold his hand too long he will pull it away from you. "Eagle Eye" in shaking hands likes to just barely touch hands and weakly shake hands only when chipping hands with him. If you find a guy like that, beware! for you might have found "Eagle Eye." Now listen follows be careful—very careful how you put "Eagle Eye" to the next test, for "Eagle Eye" is very strong, and very furious when once you get him started. He gets hot and is hard, very hard to cool down. But if you think you've got the nerve to try what, I'm about to tell you why go ahead. The other is more confident and sometimes "Eagle Eye" takes off his coat and lays it down beside him. Get another boy to hold "Eagle Eye" in conversation while you take a good look at the inside of his left coat sleeve. You will have to turn his left coat sleeve inside-out and look right on the elbow if it is patched on the inside with a little patch of bole-skin style. You have finally caught "Eagle Eye". Bit be careful for "Eagle Eye" is very furious at times, and if he ever catches you, you are a "pancake" before he let's up on you. So beWARE. One dollar reward to the boy that is wise enough to tell-who "Eagle Eye" is, and prove it. —The Editor.

WEST STREET One Worker Says Colored Men Have To Be 100% More Efficient To Get Along The fact that colored employees make the office appear for them the Ponoffice has led many to assert that the men are dealt with in prejudicial manner. Inquiry made brought the information from some sources that some of those dismissed are let out, because they do not obey the laws, themselves to their duty. One employee said that he believed the world war had not come all of the colored would been separated from the service. The fact that whites felt for the colored job that they felt for the colored an opportunity, he said. Some of the colored men here" said another, do not realize that a colored man has to be 100% more efficient than a white man to get the job. But you can put the skids under him quickly. Then there are some ex-soldiers who do not work as if their white Heart is in their work.

Daniel Hayes narrowly escaped narious injury last week when his bicycle bumped into the read of a bike given by Anton Hlavin on the Felixman bridge. He arrived with not having his registration card in his possession. ELECTRIC SIGNS USED Colored Business Men Adopt This Method Of Advertising Among the progressive methods adopted by a few colored professional and business men are the use of electric signs, blazing forth the name of the line of occupation followed. Along Drudu Hill avenue signs tell that the Drudu Laundry is in business, and that "Tom". Smith runs a hotel. On Pennsylvania avenue among those using this method of advertising are C. C. Bailey, dentist; Dr. James A. White, who has dental parlors at 1038 Mayer and Arnold, dentists, and J. H. Bishop, dealer in hair preparations. Over in East Baltimore a similar sign tells that the Pinbar Theatre is giving fine photoplasts. On the corner of Myrtle avenue and George street hang signs of Dr. T. Henderson Kerr, druggist, and Dr. M. B. Garvin, dentist. BUSINESS MEN PLAN EXPANSION The Colored Business Men's Exchange, at its regular monthly meeting on Thursday evening of last week, voted down a suggestion by Mr. William H.

McMECHEN Who Is One Of City's Best Known Attorneys And Fraternal Men Contending Attorneys Refer To Each Other As "Impudent" Sharp thrusts from attorneys, charges and counter-charges have characterized the trial of the suit of Mrs. Effie Swann in Circum Court No. 2 against Charles J. Lane, administrator of the estate of her father, the late Abraham Lane. Mrs. Swann seeks to have an agreement by which the administrator got $2,700 he set aside. The trial ran all day Thursday and started nearly a week ago. The administrator, who is represented by Attorney W. Ashore Hawkins, told the court that Abraham Lane had given him a bankbook containing $4,700 and asserted that he acted as administrator as advised by his counsel, Marlon Chambers, white, who is employed at the Postoffice. Abraham Lane for years kept a barbershop for white people on Pennsylvania avenue. His estate was valued at $12,000. Former Comptroller James F. Thrift, who appeared as one of the lawyers in the case, called the Witnesses by their first names, even the women. When the argument became heated Thrift declared Attorney General and minutes later Mr. Hawkins retaliated by calling Thrift "impudent."

CAVE MAN STUFF DOES NOT WORK Mrs. Janie Ford left her husband John about three months ago, but the other day went back to her old home, 512 N. Gilmor street, to get some of her belongings. Her husband came in and refused, it is alleged, to let her leave. She grabbed a curtain stick and gave him a walloping over the head. She started to climb out of the parlor window, and spectators noticed her dangling in the air, holding on to her husband's wrists. She was arrested and charged with assaulting her husband. After listening to a plea by her attorney, George L. Pendleton, the case was dismissed by Justice Chpaman at the Northwestern Police Station.

McMechan, *Hawks* attorney for Harry O. Will MRS. HOOKER IS FRIEND OF BOYS Intervenes To Save Youngsters From Jail While Encoure To Through the efforts of Mrs. Donald Hooker, Mrs. Hugh II. Young and other prominent white women the old custom of detaining boys in the City Jail while awaiting transportation to the Colored House of Reformation has been abolished. Instead, the boys are now kept in a room on the second floor of the Northern Police Station while waiting for an official from Cheltenham come after them. Several were kept in the station this week. "We had heard of the existence of the situation," Mrs. Hooker told the Afro-American Thursday morning, "went over to jail to see for ourselves. We were shocked to find that colored boys were kept there with criminals and went to see Police Commissioner Gaither about the matter. We we suggested the Northern Police and Judge Williams, of the Juvenile Court, gave his ready consent." Mrs. Hooker and a number of ladies are also interested in a movement to have, the colored parental school* started. . An appropriation of $10,000 therefore is now lying idle in the city treasury. CARDINAL'S LETTERS PAVED THE WAY 0 Crackers Respected Local Attorney, But Called Others "Niggers" "Niggers" A letter from Cardinal Gibbons proved a boon for Attorney J. Howard Payne, who was in Raleigh, N. C. on legal business last week. He also had letters or introduction from Judge Rose, the United States District Attorney, Marshal Lach, District and State's Attorney Lach, but officials in Raleigh did not want to see these, saying the one from the Cardinal was enough. A Catholic priest in Raleigh introduced him to a lawyer there, who took him to Federal Court. One official who took a particular interest in Mr. Payne was a lawyer. He applied that he was a thirty-degree Mason. White lawyers there referred to him as "Mr. Payne" and showed him every courtesy, while at he same time referring to colored witnesses in court as "Niggers", etc.. One white lawyer even saw to it that he had a fine place to stay 8 YEAR OLD HURT Archibald Johnson, aged 8 years, of 748 1-2 Saratoga street, was struck by an auto truck Thursday, receiving injuries of the left knee and hip.

Born in Wheeling, W. Va., he came to this city when a boy and entered Morgan College. That was in the day when Morgan's men were good debaters and most of the students there came from out-of-town. Graduating from the college with the degree of bachelor's arts in 1895, he entered Yale Law School, from which he was graduated in 1898. He practised law in Evansville, Ind., for several years, then returned to this city and hung out his shingle. His advancement has been steady in his profession, the firm of which he is a member handling a large volume of business, "of the business of something, of a jiner," too; and is known the country over by reason of his holding the position of grand exalted ruler of the Elks. He is now winding up his second and last year in that position. He is also a member of Masons, Pythians and other orders. The law offers a most attractive field for the colored man of ability and energy. Mr. McMechen told a representative of the AFRO-AMERICAN. More and more our people are relying on the professional man and, just the same as they rely on the racial journal for the interpretation of race thought. Mr. McMechen took a little flier in politics six years ago, winning the Republican nomination for the presidency, and was defeated in the general election, however. He is married and has several daughters.
