PROMPT ACTION URGED IN HAYTI REPARATIONS
New York. May 23.—Pierre Engene de Lespinausse, a member of the General Committee of the Patriotic Union, who has just arrived in New York City from Haiti, today issued a statement at the office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, in which he urged prompt action for the regeneration of his country if its rain was not to be made complete by the American occupation.
"For the first time in 116 years" Pierre Engene de Lespinausse, "Haiti, during the last five years of American occupation, has defaulted on its interior debt. This debt is held by Haitian people, for the most part, who have suffered severe hardship because of the stoppage of their income, and those who gave credit to the Haitian Government by purchasing its obligations, are being ruined.
"If Americans wish to do something for Haiti, it is necessary to hasten. Haitian powers have their limits. Haitians have endured for six years. I do not know how they can be saved. Their situation has been devastated by recent events. They are living in a state of destroying unsecurity. There is no work to be had. Common people are miserable and under-fed, and upwards of 10,000 of them have migrated to Cuba.
"The first remedy required is financial. It was a crime against the economic strength of the country to fix the value of the national currency, the gourde, at twenty cents for a gourde, when in the last 25 years the gourde had been worth a dollar and was several times at a premium over the dollar.
"The military devastation that has taken place in Haiti in the last five years can be repaired. It will be more difficult to make repatriation for the economic crimes which are killing the country in putting it at a disadvantage with other countries. These are the crimes committed not in the open, but in the silence of diplomatic and financial chambers."

RITICISM OF HARDING REGIME HAS SET IN
Georgia Colored Republicans Resent President's Refusal To Give Out Political Plums
NEW YORKERS UNEASY
Declare Revolt Among Old Guard In Harlem Unless There Is A Change
Stan Correspondence
Washington D. C. May 25.—General disapproval of the Harding policy of appointing so few colored men to political office is showing itself in various forms from New York as far south as Atlanta, Ga.
It has gone so far that colored Republicans in Georgia have actually defied the President and party members in Harlem threaten a revolt.
Bitterness in the press was accused first of all by the announcement that Northern Senators had practically agreed with the Southerners to prevent the appointment of a colored man for Register of the Treasury, a position usually held by a colored man in past Republican administrations.
Fuel was added to the flames when leaders of the Republican National Committee proposed a cutting down representation of the Southern states in that body, whereby only those colored persons allowed by crackers to vote would be represented. Dr. William Pickens of the N. A. A. C. in a despatch to the Association Negro press this week calls it the "most disgraced boneheaded surrevered made by the Republican in the Civil War." Dr. Pickens predicts that colored voters will be driven out of the party, if the proposal goes then, and into the ranks of the Socialists and communists.
GEORGIA SASSES HARDING
The climax was capped last week when Georgia colored Republicans accused President Harding of Libya's on account of his refusal to recognize Henry Lincoln Johnson, colored National Johnson, colored from that state. Hostility of members from Johnson and his national offices of candidates for political offices in the state, led the President to refuse to make any appointments there until a committee of one hundred persons, mostly white, should be called together to serve upon a state. Inasmuch as this committee should exclude Mr. Johnson from membership colored Georgians are taking it as a vertible slate in the face.
Not only do they accuse the president of taking this action because their state leader is colored, but they also so many words that Mr. Harding can take his jobs and go to but that the state organization will take the issue to the country.
EW YORKERS UNEASY
Unless ambing New York Republicans comes from the fact that they have asked for only one Federal office, collector of the port, Charles W. Anderson held this position under Taft and united Roosevelt, and is a candidate for it again. He is opposed by Senators, and Calder, and so nothing has been done. The old guard in Harlem is mad as a wet beet, and threaten to revolt unless there is a change in the Harding office.

TROTTER HEADS DELEGATION TO WHITE HOUSE
Fails To See Harding But
Leaves Memorandum
With Secretary
Christian
URGE ACTION
President Asked To Get Behind Anti Lynching And
Anti Jim Crow Car Bill
Washington, D.C., May 26.—A delegation of the National Equal Rights League, including W. Monroe Trotter of Boston; James L. Neill, Rev. C. T. Tanner and M. W. Spencer, had a conference with Secretary Christian at the White House office, left a statement for the President, and fully explained its import. The statement read as follows:
"The League values your denunciation of lynching and appreciates the spirit of your suggestion of a Federal Commission to study the question of maltreatment of, and discrimination against Americans of African extraction. They feel, however, that they are so alone against colored Americans which do not now need further study as they are of such long standing, so well known and so clear in nature, especially lynching and segregation in interstate public carriers.
HAVE GONE BEYOND STAGE
OF INQUIRY
The colored people feel that they are now entitled to remedial legislation along these lines. They have done considerable work toward that end and have made some progress, and they do not want to feel that the President desires to impede progress already made. Not only have they studied out remedies for these two major wrongs, but have succeeded in having their conclusions framed in bills for Congress, have had several hearings in behalf of these bills before Congressional Committees after introduction into Congress. In fact said bills against lynching and Jim Crow cars have been introduced into the present Congress, their second introduction. "We are very anxious that nothing coming from our own government will seem to impede our retard the passage of this remedial legislation. But the President's Commission of inquiry would naturally operate to arrest the passage now since it has the whole question of race friction, unless defined as to its scope by the President.
STATEMENT ASKED FROM
PRESIDENT
"Therefore, in order to keep intact this opportunity for the passage of legislative remedies already before Congress we ask that the President make it known that his Commission recommendation is not intended to prejudice or delay the Dyer or Bellinger Bills on lynching nor the Madden Bill on Jim Crow cars. Indeed we would ask that you urge their passage at this session."

Washington, D. C., May 25.—In the death of Philip H. Medlay at his home, 028 F. street, N. E., recently, Washington lost her oldest and one of her most remarkable citizens.
Mr. Medlay was born April 7, 1807 and was 114 years old. Up to a few months ago he retained all of his faculties in the highest degree. He used tobacco but never drank anything. He liked to recall the fact that his old master in the slave days, unable to whip him tried to get him to drink liquor, but he remained a tea-totaler.

Finding Of Murdered Body Of White Woman Causes Inconvenience To Many Citizens THREE ARRESTED
Hyattville, Md., May 23.—Efforts of local police and officers summoned from nearby Washington to connect a colored man with the murder of Margaret E. Weber, a twenty year old white married woman, whose dead body was found in a ravine last Thursday by Miss Mary Queen aged 14, has thus far failed. She got a bullet hole thru the head, clothing disarranged, as if she had fought for her honor, and her ring finger severed as it was believed in order to obtain possession of her engagement and wedding rings, indicated that a terrible struggle had taken place. A lady's watch and $8 in currency in her possession are also said to have disappeared. As soon as Miss Queen reported the finding of the body this section of the county was in an uprear. Every person in the vicinity of the murder was held up and questioned as to his whereabouts. Woods were scoured by armed persons, who worked on the theory that the murderer must have been a colored man. Altho no colored man had been seen in the vicinity before the crime, no one could say why they had colored men and expressed an opinion that a colored person committed the crime. In testimony is held to have shown that no criminal assault was committed.
James Dixon and Harry Vincent, two of the men who were arrested by officers were released when they proved allis. William Smith, another colored man, said to be a barber, was arrested and held at Odenton for acting peculiar when about to hound an electric car. Razors and other barber's equipment were found in his possession. Authorities are still attempting to trace the lost jewelry in he effort to come up with the criminal.
Belair, Md., May 23.—Arthur Downey aged 16 stoutly denied today that he is guilty of criminally assaulting 10 year old Janie West last Saturday afternoon.

DEMPSEY DOES NOT WORRY CARPENTIER
French Champion Strolling Around Quarter With Jeanette Talks To Correspondent
COLOR LINE IN DANGER
If Dempsey Is Licked, Carpentier Declares He Will Fight All Comers
News Feature Service
231 W. 138th St. N. Y. City
Manhasset, L. L. May 26—On a visit to the Carpenter training quarters here today, he sighted French students strolling the place with Joe Jeanneette his special advisor and chief trainer.
After an introduction by Jeanneette the French challenger of the length in regard to the race question and his coming bout with Jack Dempsey the present title holder,
he asked by the correspondent if he worried as to the outcome of the fracas, Carpenter said "Worried, who me?" he answered and declaimed emphatically as to the outcome of his battle with the American champion on July 2.
Foolish To Draw Color Line
"It would be stupid of me, or any champion for that matter, to even consider such a thing as a challenge," you don't battle for existence. There is no color line in France you don't have to take my word ask Joe, pointing to Joe Jeanette.
"You can be assured that if I am a vector in the coming color line will be knocked out also."
Carpentier, very much unlike the present twentieth century scraper, does not answer. You asked to comment on press reports that his countrymen are of the opinion that he will capture the championship inside of four rounds. Carpentier naturally believe the superior to bourgey—but no one can tell how long the affair will last. Rest assured, that if I succeed in defending the present title-bender, I will attack against him and fond my title against any man in the world.
Joe Jeanette The Master Mind
Joe Jennette, veteran of the squared circle, is chief trainer for the French heavyweight to the disappointment of the light fans has been the Frenchmen to train in private.
Carpenter has received letters from all over the country welcoming and wishing him luck in the competition. He was beaten by the light fans down east that the heavy weight championship will change hands on July 2. According to a statement by Jack Chance, the champion anyway. Chance had made Dempsey. Chance which had been kickless for Jess Willard.
The correspondent was asked what the colored Americans thought of the competition. Frenchmen was assured that the colored light fans would like to see the title in the hands of a champion who was worthy of the name. Carpenter smiled saying with light gritt well, on the second of July."

Novices In Those Days Made Far Better Showing In Washington Meet Fifteen Years Ago
During March 1906 the first track squad of the Baltimore High School was organized. The boys held runs twice a week over the hills of Drudu Hill, Dr. Howard Smith a crack runner of the University of Pennsylvania took charge of the squad as coach. The squad was put through the paces and those unified were asked to leave the squad. The squad happened because of the lack of training facilities, but we were not damned by any thing. We used the reservoir at the park for the quarter, half, mile and road near by for sprints. By the first of May the队 was Price Gates Williams, famously Roc Thind, Peck, Tom Jones, Bill Jackson, Bob Boston, Bill Boston, 100, 220, 44, men; Lew Wilson and Jas Johnson, half and mile runners. These men were the first team to compete in their first meet. May 30, 1906 the track team of nine men journeyed to Washington to carry the colors of orange and blue to victory. We met the best high school runners of this
twice.
On the 14th of May 1921, a track team representing the same school journeyed to Washington and scored less than ten points.
O. graduates of the High School are you the last mentioned performance.

SCHOOL 116B WINS FROM 107B
Wildness of Preston of 1015 B and Scott for 1158 accounted for the solv game between the two schools at Drud Hill Park Thursday. The game was called in at the end of the sixth inning after two hours of play. Scott issued 12 bases on ball and Preston 8, which aided in the score. Scott's affectiveness, however, showed that he only allowed 6 hits. Both teams fielded well, scoring 14 chances without an error.

NATIONAL LEAGUE IS THREE WEEKS OLD
Bacharach Giants In Running For Pennant In Foster Circuit
The First three weeks of play in the big Colored league points that the sponsors for the Dark circuit have at last put together a compact and well balanced collection of clubs. De spite the chilly climate, the balance figures are the fact that much interest is being shown. The different teams are showing greatly improved form of that of last season at this time. There appears to be a wealth of good coaching material for the three clubs, in spite of the that the records show free hitting contests.
The Kansas City Monarchs, as well as the American Giants and Detroit Stars, have all along been looked to for a display on other western teams, but they have remained known and seasoned performers at all of the most important points of the defense, and have in many respects amped an added amount of aggressiveness enough games between the supposed stronger clubs to give a line on their ability as compared with the clubs whom this season were compelled to star; the pace with new faces and players did not live up to their established fame in battles against American Giant pitching, tabbing but twelve hits team annexed but sixteen. The facts indicate that the best players in those teams, but there is nothing to warrant the belief that these clubs house the best hitting. The De-
Irish Stars and Bacharach Giants of display greater hitting ability than the Chicago team away out, in front of the heap on base running and alround finish.
At the series of games between the St. Louis and Chicago Giants, A. B. C. and Columbus, Chicago Giants, St. Louis, A. B. C. and Kansas City, Columbus and Chicago Giants, St. Louis and Roussas City, Chicago clubs, at least, are going to be in a death struggle at all times for superior honors. The standing of the clubs, issued at various stages, is the real strength of the contenders, owing to the difficulties encountered in drawing a schedule to meet the demands of continuing the standings will at once reveal the fact that it is possible for the leading club to have won many less games than clubs furious at the heap and still retain the lead.
So far, the St. Louis outfit appears to be setting the pace on hitting, having batted at a 360 clip in the best pitching. The Indianapolis clubs with 265 in eight games
Field Day exhibition and baseball game will be held at Morgan on the campus Saturday. The Entries have been sent to Athenian High Club, Baltimore High School Wing Club and a number of other clubs to send their men to this meeting.

63rd MEMORIAL DAY
The sixty-third annual Memorial Day will be held in the United States on Monday. It is to be noted that the celebration is "in the United States and her possessions not "the Army. In Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, the states which formed the backbone of the revolution of 1861, there will be no Memorial Liberations. In Virginia the day will be observed. NEDERATE MEMORIAL DAY, and the states have set apart various days in July and June for the same purpose.
Before the close of the Civil War the 36th day was apart in the North as well as the honor of the "soldiers killed in the Army Civil War, but when Commander-in-Chief John of the Grand Army of the Republic issued a general order in 1868 designating that day the PURPOSE OF STREET WITH FLOW OF OTHERWISE DECORATING THE GIMP COMRADES WHO DIED IN DEFENSE OF COUNTRY DURING THE LATE RAIN," the southern states immediately put on their celebrations. Their fear was that nations might be interpreted as recognizing use of the Union as just.
Commander Logan issued the proclamation "hope THAT IT WILL BE KEPT UP IN HEAR TO YEAR" and for sixty-three years it has been compiled. Thirty-eight assured its perpetuation by making the annual holiday, and have yielded to the urgings of Army that the proper designation is MEM. Not decoration day:
In many parts of the country, veterans of Civil War will get out the old blue uniform, and arrange the black and gold beads in black felt hats in preparation for a parade, cemetery where flowers will be strewed, matches made.
Maryland can point with pride to the faces of colored men fought on the Union side in Civil War, and that 1,739 of them gave their cause of freedom. Of the 7th Married Volunteers, General Gordon, Command Southern Department declared that it was first colored regiment in the Union Army.
Many of these men lie buried on Southern hills, where Memorial Day will not be obsolete is all the more reason why the graves of local cemeteries should be decorated, and when day, we yield the front rank and the force to the thin blue line of surviving veins did their BIT and their BEST to pression, where, GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE, SAY PERISH FROM THE EARTH.
The sixty-third annual Memorial Day will be celebrated in the United States on Monday. It is to be noted that the celebration is "in" the United States and her possessions not "thruout" them. In Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North and South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas, the states which formed the backbone of the rebellion of 1861, there will be no Memorial Day celebrations. In Virginia the day will be observed as CONFEDERATE MEMORIAL DAY, and the other rebel states have set apart various days in April, May and June for the same purpose.
Before the close of the Civil War the 30th of May was set apart in the North as well as the South in honor of the soldiers killed in the American Civil War, but when Commander-in-Chief John A. Logan of the Grand Army of the Republic issued a general order in 1868 designating that day "FOR THE PURPOSE OF STREWING WITH FLOWERS OR OTHERWISE DECORATING THE GRAVES OF COMRADES WHO DIED IN DEFENSE OF THEIR COUNTRY DURING THE LATE REBELION," the Southern states immediately put an end to their celebrations. Their fear was that their actions might be interpreted as recognizing the cause of the Union as just.
Commander Logan issued the proclamation with the hope "THAT IT WILL BE KEPT UP FROM YEAR TO YEAR," and for sixty-three years the custom has been continued. Quarter-eight states have assumed its perpetuation by making the day a legal holiday, and have yielded to theurgings of the Grand Army that the proper designation is MEMORIAL not decoration day.
In many parts of the country, veterans of the Civil War will get out the old blue uniforms on Monday, and arrange the black and gold beads upon their black felt hats in preparation for a parade to the cemetery where flowers will be strenued and speeches made.
Maryland can point with pride to the fact that 5,975 colored men fought on the Union side during the Civil War, and that 1,739 of them gave their lives for the cause of freedom. Of the 7th Maryland Colored Volunteers, General Gordon, Commander of the Southern Department declared that it was the most colored regiment in the Union Army."
Many of these men lie buried on Southern battlefields, where Memorial Day will not be observed. This is all the more reason why the graves of those in local cemeteries should be decorated, and why on that day, we yield the front rank and the foremost place to the thin blue line of surviving veterans who did their BIT and their BEST to preserve a nation, where, GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE, SHALL NOT PERISH FROM THE EARTH.

From SOMEWHERE IN THE SOUTH the word has gone out that for every Negro terrorized or put to death unjustly, the community thereabouts will be treated to a demonstration of fireworks. Associated Negro Press despatches tell of an assembly of the Ku Klux recently to drive Negroes out of town, which was called off when the members of the Klan were called upon to put out one of the most destructive fires the business of that town had ever known. The fire started at the hour at which the Klan assembly had been called.

THEY.CATCH CATTS
Sydney J. Catts, ex-governor of Florida was asked this week on the charge of neonage. He then apparently dodging federal officers for one, and was arrested in an out of the way hushery, whither he had gone to purchase a dollar. The clerk noted his initials S. J. C. coded collar and notified the police, who took custody.
More important, however, than the fact that he neglected slave driver owes his arrest to his deser clear clean linen, is the information that threaded men: Edward Brown, John Henry Rock and Wheeler Green charge the former chief of the great state of Florida, with holding slavery, in which condition they were compelled labor under miserable conditions and wry.
The Federal government has been lax and defends its obligation to enforce the war amendment, polish some forms of slavery in the South, but it has made a beginning, there is every in that it will prosecute the big fellows as we little ones. If found guilty of the charges it is to be hoped that Catts will catch "rats" here Federal Courts are thus with him.
Sydney J. Catts, ex-governor of Florida was arrested this week on the charge of neonage. He had been apparently dodging federal officers for sometime, and was arrested in an out of the way haberdashery, whither, he had gone to purchase a fresh collar. The clerk noted his initials S. J. C. on the soiled collar and notified the police, who took him into custody.
More important, however, than the fact that the alleged slave driver owes his arrest to his desire to wear clean linen, is the information that three colored men: Edward Brown, John Henry Rodgers, and Wheeler Green charge the former chief executive of the great state of Florida, with holding them in slavery, in which condition they were compelled to labor under miserable conditions and without pay.
The Federal government has been hux and derelict in its obligation to inforce the war amendments and abolish some forms of slavery in the South, but now that it has made a beginning, there is every indication that it will prosecute the big fellows as well as the little ones. If found guilty of the charges alleged it is to be hoped that Cats will catch "rats" before the Federal Courts are thru with him.

The gentle art of bombing colored peoples' homes not located in all colored blocks received a set back last week with the arrest of Andrew Kerr, a white local union man as a bomb suspect. Feeling that the police had the goods on him, Kerr began to talk, with the result that the police arrested one gang of men, which bombed the home of a colored city councilman recently and another gang, which had used explosives to persuade white snake-breakers not to go to work.
Since the Chicago City Council appropriated $25,000 to run down bombers, it has also been discovered that the Hyde Park Citizens' Association (white) possessed a fund of $200,000 or more with which to crowd out and prevent the occupation of certain territory by colored folk.
Kerr has declined to tell so far, who paid high to homb colored folks' homes, altho he admits his gang was paid for the job. Police declare, he will eventually, and when he does Chicago can expect an immediate reduction in the rate of insuring the front walls of colored homes.

CHURCH AND BUSINESS
"I am daily becoming more convinced that the church of God would do well to establish and mend evangelistic societies among and for our people do not believe that we would overlap our bishops or as a church to establish and mend accident insurance and for good places of amusement for our people, and hiding and loan companies." This is the answer in part of Dr. H. N. New Alabama in the Christian Recorder—organ of American Methodist Denomination—to the quo DW THE CHURCH CAN HELP BUSINESS.
"I am daily becoming more convinced that the church of God would do well to establish and manage benevolent societies among and for our people, and I do not believe that we would overlap our bounds as Christians or as a church to establish and manage sick and accident insurance and good clean parks and places of amusement for pur people, and even building and Joan companies."
This is the answer in part of Dr. H. N. Newsome of Alabama in the Christian Hecorder—organ of the African Methodist Denomination—to the question HOW THE CHURCH CAN HELP BUSINESS.
This might at first sight appear to be advanced doctrine, but it is just what the church has done and is doing in a small way. Local churches have conducted old folk's homes for many years, they have fostered savings and loan associations, maintained cemeteries, schools, newspapers, and stores. One of the city churches has successfully operated a cemetery, has erected the first community house built for a Protestant church in the city. The white Methodists of the city direct and manage the Maryland General Hospital. A colored Baptist Church is backing a dry goods store on Pennsylvania avenue.
All of these enterprises, cemeteries, community houses, hospitals, and stores are business enterprises, and are succeeding because of co-operative efforts. Because they offer commodities that the public want at a price the public can afford, all of them enjoy a patronage that is far wider than the circle of the controlling congregation or denomination.
Granted that the church has made a successful entry into the classes of business above named, who

"HURRAL FOR COLLINGTON"
"WE SAY NO TOO."
To the Editor:
In reading your issue of May 6, we noticed a distinction between the schools of Mitchellsville in regard to the prizes winners. Collington school No. 2 District was known as Mitchellsville. No. 2 captured the last prizes in previous years. They also went on record as being the best, unified and most cost-effective. Such costumes could not have been better selected. Their colors were black, and red.
Mrs. Molle Mercer. Thomas formerly a teacher of Baltimore city and of the rural districts after marriage received much praise.
Who were the champions, Collington?
Who said so. Everybody.
Hurrah! Hurrah for Collington.
PHYSICIANS ANSWER AFROS
EDITORIAL ON "MORE"
In answer to the editorial "More Facts" appearing in *in cash* weeks issue of the AFRO-AMERICAN the Physicians' Protection Association submits the following additional facts for the consideration
That the purpose of the Physicians Protection Association is not specifically "the establishment of another hospital," the Association however recognizes such a procedure as due to its purposes. The purposes of the Physicians Protective Association are founded in the mutual interest and desire of its members for the advancement and progress of the community matters that the community in and in the publication of "Facts regarding Hospital conditions among colored people in Baltimore" it is in pursuance of that object through enlightening the public here where we feel are not compatible with the greatest public good; we propose to create public sentiment and activity to the end that the presiding agencies of the Hospital will be changed that the public will receive the greater benefit.
Our purpose is not to "destroy a hospital" nor are we condenating the misdeeds of negligence in the intermittent. We are not seeking to injure anyone; but we dorecognize the fact that destruction under some circumstances is not a serious avenue to greater service. We have presented a statement or ruth, of facts the correctness of which can be proven in every in
The Physician Protective Association contends that funds of the institution in question are insufficient and that the Hospital does not now approximate modern hospital standards. We further assert that we are not demanding any special efforts or efforts are not so directed that our activities are conducted primarily and solely in the interest of the public good contained in the editorial "More Facts" that Provident Hospital is a private corporation and as such is privileged to conduct its services as guardians of public opinion.

fact that its very existence depends upon public assistance and financial support, we, the Physicians Protective Association, first established and of Hospital conditions here, the Board of Directors in question should be elected by Church organizations and by leading fraternal organizations and similar bodies that support and institute if it is to survive. THE PHYSICIANS PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION
Let me congratulate you on your fine article in reference to "More Facts" of the week of May 13th. As usual you will be taken a look at what is incompenency and graft, let out with the facts, let the truth be told.
The public certainly is not interested in the personal affairs of the teacher and Dr. Brown, but the public is vitally interested in the affairs which make for the best interest of the community and I might add the public is about the teacher, who know more about the needs of the people of this community than those who have lived here all their lives. This applies to the classical and clerical imagination.
I wish to state I have no business interest, personal or political ambition in Provident* Hospital or any persons in its management. As a disinterested citizen and Baltimorean I feel justly proud of its women who have achieved something constructive.
For the past 20 years I have observed Provident Hospital gradual growth, under the present management, and I have noted in the past few years its marvelous success under the present Superintendent. I doubt if it is its possibilities could be, or what all what it should be or all what all what it should be, but its all what the public support affords it to be.
Whereas we are now on the eve to appreciate this growth in the realization of Victory Hospital, it stands to reason that friends of the race have got too much common sense to give their money,
time, influence and experience to this project unless Messrs. Rich, Burkett, Brown, and Dr. Brown, the officer, or the doctor, of the staff and women auxiliary who had stood by this institution from its infancy to now its near it maturity, have developed a basis of intelligent management, which is a 'concrete demonstration of its possibilities.
sicians Protective Association, one has the right to organize and protect himself as he sees fit. But if the members of this organization soreness is because the Board of Provident Hospital and Superintendent will not permit these inexperienced young doctors andurgents to practice their ideas, older doctors, they should be blighted.

Mr. Editor:
I would like to call the attention of our Secret Societies to the fact that some of them I think are going far beyond their Christian duty. We should give thanks to God of God and no other place will do.
We could not dedicate and consecrate a theatre or a movie house to God. God wants his services in an arena. A place where the devil dwell, a place where lies are told and where there is dancing of all kind to get your dollar.
"FATE"
"What is the * thing called
'EATE?"
Fate is the consort of the care
and unprepared:
less and unpleasant;
Fate is the discoruse of mental
midgets;
Fate is an excuse (not a reason)
for recklessness;
Fate is there as a terror of re-
belliousness;
Fate is a byword for the weak.
Fate has nothing in common
with facts;
Fate has nothing in common
with the paradoxical order of
right-living.
Fate is not down in the dictionary
of big business;
Fate has the cry of fools when
the fall.
Fate; when fools tread where wise men fear to follow and fail they call it "FATE";
Fate is not the heart of progress; Fate did not break the yoke that gave the Jews their freedom;
Fate did not give freedom to the thirteen colonies.
Fate is the double allowance of elasticity of conscience; of honest fools and enthusiasts who think deeply enough to discern the truth and the "mascent must of trust and honor.

NO REAR SEAT FOR STUDENT
Minneapolis Boy Appeals To Class
From Cracker Teacher
Students in the political science department at the University of Minnesota are not willing to have social distinction, and the class of students graduated the action of Professor Jeremiah Young, who omitted the name of Williard Morrow, a student, when he was assigning seats in alphabetical order, by voting to merit Morrow a sequence with the other students. Professor Young told Morrow he could take a seat at either side or in the rear of the room. Morrow protested the room by seating as the others, threatening to quit the class. He appealed to his fellow students. Professor Young as first refused to accede, but the matter was put to a vote. Morrow should be seated by alphabetical sequence.
Baltimore In 1850
Old City Directory Of That Date Shows Many Old Families Engaged In Trades
BACK IN 1850 MAYOR OF BALTIMORE APPPOINTED AS MANY COLORED PEOPLE TO OFFICE AS MAYOR BROENING LAST YEAR
Matchetts Baltimore Director, (note the name, not Directory) for 1851 is check full of information interesting to those who love Bal-
iimore.
It contains the "names, dwellings and occupations of householders," the white first and then the "Councled householders." Describe the twenty wards the city had and remarks the fact that there was only one representative in the Council from each two wards of
the city. Those days the 17th and the 18th wards voted for together, counselman, but less than think it was the 17th ward, the ward the director gives the boundaries of the 17th ward then as Montgomery and South Euwat and the northwest and middle of Pathesoe river. There was no such river. There was no such river as Drudt Hill avenue in those days, divided Division Eating, divided Care, Care, Madison, Madison, Muhberry, Mosher, Ennor, Fleet, Forrest and the like were built up with home occupied by wealthy men of whom many holders.
In those days colored people lived on Orchard, Bethel, Biddle street court, Spring, Jefferson, Vine, Madison, Caroline, Tyson, Conway, Hilton, Muthersy, Moore's, Moore's Alley, Saratoga, Alley and such streets. Most of them were in the section now, known as South Baltimore.
There were no colored public schools before the war the "Director" shows. In fact it was against the law to teach colored people to eat the food. The member world was composed of one member from each of the city's twenty wards. Lexington Market was nearly as large as it is now, but there was no Lafayette Market. Jerome was Mayor of the city in 1521 and gave colored people many political appointments as Mayor Boering did in 1921, i.e.
Three trains left the Baltimore and Ohio station every day in 1851, one of the first steam trains and three for Washington, D.C. Stage lines connected the city with Belair, Relief town and even a point on the coast and Pittsburgh.

BLACK AND WHITE TROOPS ON THE RHINE
been compelled to establish brothels. The towns near the American zone occupied by the brothels which are said to be largely patronized by Americans, just as in Brest, to avoid worse difficulties, the French are reported to have established separate brothels for the American and French civilians many, the same bortels are patronized by, French black and white troops without quarrel; they are also open to German civilians who, however, pay twice the military fee. The German police have to establish fixed price schedules, regulate hours of labor for the women, and provide for
regular medical inspection. I saw such schedules. Despite their care and the existence of brothels, however, there has been a large increase in the reported cases of berengeous women in high schools because more than 100 per cent—for which the Germans hold the occupying troops responsible the blacks no more than the whites. The number of such cases among young girls of 14, 15, and 16 is exceptionally high.
Women Fall For High Wages
ships may begin. Economic pressure, the need and lure of money, the universal mystery and romance of man and girl, all play their roles in the drama on the Rhine; if there is racial intermixture it is due almost wholly to these factors, and, in a negligible degree, to acts of violence.
Stories are current of marriages between black soldiers and German girls. Such have probably occurred, but I could trace no cases.
That the Germans resent the presence of colored troops is of course true.
What Hurts The German
When a Ludwigshafen farmer is stopped at the Mannheim Bridge by a fully armed black African and made to show his papers when a proud citizen of an old imperial free city is drowned by a storm of stardry son of Middagssau to pass in front of, not behind him, which means walking out into the gutter, he feels bitterly about it.
It is impossible to study at first hand, without prejudice, the Negro occupation, and believe that the presence of black troops constitutes a constant terror and horror to the Germans. The fact of military occupation by troops of any color would be a constant irritation, but the crime in the case of black troops against the black troops themselves against the Germans. They are virtually slaves, conscripted by sheer force, and forced like slaves to military service in a cause in which they have no interest—and which they do not understand, in a climate to which they are not accustomed or adapted. It is a curious thing to look at that strange medley of yellow, black and white troops to wonder what they think of their service the filine. The indictment against the French use of colored troops it not for what is being done to the Germans but for what is being done to the colored people themselves. The whole world may some day reap the harvest which French militarism is sowing in its colored colonies.
An armed and murderous white bandit was in the act of holding up a place of business in Pittsburgh. A black policeman came along and wounded and captured the bandit. The Director of Public Safety presented a medal of honor to this brave black man, and said many fine words of praise. Among these fine words were the following, equally fine, so far as intentions go, but which display unconsciously the subconscious attitude, not of the Director of Public Safety, but of the group to which he belongs:
"ALTHOUGH YOU ARE BLACK ON THE OUTSIDE—I WANT TO ANNOUNCE THAT YOU HAVE NO YELLOW STREAK IN YOUR MAKEUP."
And then the Director breathed a chest-biting of magnanimity and perhaps of generosity: "As if to say: 'I am not too narrow to recognize something good in a black man, when that exceptional thing does happen.'"
That is exactly what that "ALTHOUGH" means. It means that, in the subconsciousness of the man speaking, it is inconsistent to be both black and brave. Is not this a strange thing in the face of all the great and open records of Negro soldiers, Negro police men and colored officers of every kind? How a false notion of one race about another race will persist; it will even ride rough-shod right on their contradictory facts.—Of course, the Director would never say or acknowledge that he meant that it is unusual for colored policemen to be brave, and that it is not what HE meant, but such is the meaning of his words and such is the subconscious attitude of his group working itself out in the careless language of the individual.
In fact, however, everybody knows that a Nero policeman will "gift yer" when most others will run away. This is well understood by the colored people of the streets, and they will act "bad" in the face of a white policeman much sooner than in the presence of a black officer.—And that "although" is perfectly banal. It should have been left out and the commendation made to read thus:
"You are black on the outside, and as is USCALLY the case, you have no yellow streak in your makeup." But as the Director phrased it, a normal relationship is established between black and yellow.
It reminds me that long ago Solomon or some other wise man said: "I am black AND coined." and then all the white scholars who have since translated his words have phrased it: "I am black BUT comely." They have done with their "BUT" just exactly what the Director did with his "ALTHOUGH."
How hard it is to shake ourselves free from group illusions which we call race prejudices.

In. Nation for May 25
(By Lewis S. Gannett)
There are still black troops on the Rhine Coal-black, and thousands of them. And on the whole, the Negro troops are behaving excepteingly well, and the population little to explain of their presence. The circumstances of their presence have been outrageously aggravated.
I have just been through part of the Rhénish territory occupied with many police officials, hotel commissioners, junior leaders, common
The Anunites are a mild lot of both Chinese troops. The Moroccan under their red fezes, are a great assortment of desert types, bronzed, bearded Arabs, ablative Semitic faces, faces early show ing an admixture of zero blood; others wholly African with the dark skin, crinkly and hard, North Africa in its time, so many peoples come and die. The Malagasics are said to be a strain of yellow or brown blood mixed with the dominant black. I saw some in whose faces Mongolian blood was obvious, one could study long the faces most without suspecting that they were naught but pure black, they are indubibly, black troops.
Propaganda Centres
From Munich a propaganda center spreads poisonous stories of a black terror on the Rhine" around Germany and into America. Its accounts have been grossly and wickedly exaggerated, German officials told me that this propaganda "was a commercial enterprise" and for years it is another aid for the center center with offices in Southern and Hiedelberg aided by the Ivarian, Hessian and Russian state governments—the new states part of whose territory is occupied by the French. The center collects sworn police reports of misdeeds by the occupying and then publicly purposes it in an association with the Rhineish League, which "has used a summary of such affidavits concerning attacks by colorful men upon German women and boys."
No. Black Horror
There are several score cases of assault or attempted assault recorded in the police files. I saw the originals of some of these reports; I was offered, declined, the opportunity of talking with one of the victims. But, after examination of these reports, and confidential conversation with the suspects, other inspectors, of several hundred cities, I am convinced that there is no such thing as a "White Horror" on the Rhine. Today, while the police reports are at least five attempted assaults by Moroccan troops upon women and boys of young could learn of only one week before my arrest, no responseigkeit by the Malahasans. Such figures are not above the normal proportion for any population of nearly two young males living in informal colony.
Brothels For Americans
I do not believe that the presence of black troops adds material to the unpleasantness involved in any military occupation. The entered erection of brothels, the use of the troops of occupation has probably reduced the number of cases of assault. In case of the Rhine cities the German municipal authorities have
WORKERS MUST
Secretary Davis Of Labor Department Sets Chicago Packers Straight
What appears to be the initial assurance of the attitude of the Harding administration toward the labor force came from the Secretary of Labor who became as the champion of the Negro workers in the stockyards at Chicago. When the conference of employees called by Secretary Davis to meet with representatives of the packers to confer over the labor crisis that threatened in the packing industry met here, it was brought out that the colored employees engaged in the same work in the yards were receiving about 39% less than those of the other race. This fact was so welcome apparent as the conference progressed and ultimately took the high and just position that this discrimination was on-American and that the laborer is worthy of its hire and equable consideration without regard to color.
The Secretary's contention was insistently and firmly made and finally prevailed, and as a result there will in the future be no deferentials in the compensation of labor for similar service in the stockyards.
Department Of Labor Reports Shows Skilled Workers Suffered Less
While 1953 per cent of muskilled Negro labor in the country joined the army of unemployed during the last three months of industrial depression, only 2.63 per cent of the skilled labor was thus affected. This is a most interesting deduction from an emergency survey of selected industries made by the Department of labor. "This survey summarizes the report, "is strong evidence of the growing inclusion and retention of colored workers and should act as an encouraging sign to colored labor that gained a foothold in the skilled group."
Disposition to apply themselves to early road construction and repairing and to return to agricultural pursuits has had an effect to reduce in some measure the number of colored unemployed. Reports from Richmond, Va., say that a revival of the building industry of the country reduced the number of involuntary unemployed people among colored workers to practically zero.
The Calumet district, of which Chicago is the center, leans in the number of colored unemployed" with an approximation of 15,000. In Michigan the unemployment of colored is given as having been decreased by 2,550. In the Pittsburgh district estimates indicate that the average unemployed colored labor is 4,500. On March 31, 1921, in that district, there were 2,000 of these workers "absolutely unemployed."

Dentistry is that branch of the medical profession which devotes itself to the care of the mouth and particularly the teeth. In its field comes, first care for the prevention of dental disease, then treatment to check and repair dental disease, and next mechanical replacement of dental organs which have been lost through the lack of access in prevention or by accident at the present time it is subdivided into many special branches requiring special study and research. In general practice the dentist must be prepared to interpret symptoms and decide treatment necessary. The work is divided into mechanical and operative work. The mechanical work consists of making artificial substitutes, such as full or partial dentures, crowns, bridges, and appliances for regulating. This work is done by the laboratory and a curricular mechanical ability and manual dexterity. It is dirty work, but interesting for one of mechanical taste.
The operative work is the work done upon the patient and includes cleaning the teeth, preparing cavities in teeth and refilling them with the different kinds of filling materials, each of which requires a different type of dental treatment, diseased teeth, extraction of teeth, and preparation of teeth for various mechanical substitutes, and correction of irregularities of teeth.
Preparation
Preparation for the practice of dentistry requires four years of training in a recognized dental college, such as Tufts Dental School or dental school in a dental school and dental department of many of the state universities.
Opportunity
The opportunity for advancement lies with the individual. There is always more dental work needed to be done than there are hands to doit, and for the conscientious worker, prepared for the work, there will always be a demand for her services.
Financial Return
The financial return varies with the locality in which one settles, but the earnest worker may feel assured of earning a good living in the locality居住 life. Two workers and dollars a year is an average minimum.
Qualifications
The qualifications desirable for a successful dentist are mechanical ability with manual dexterity, an interest in sciences which help to interpret cause and effect in health and disease, and a personality which leads to adaptability to people.
Advantages And Disadvantages
The work offers a pleasant intercourse with people which makes life broad and interesting. It gives opportunity to help and relieve suffering, and to teach the message of the situation of disease. There is always a need and desire for it. It is a broad held for service and brings a true reward.

I was sick for years. As a white man it was natural for me to go to white doctors. And I went to the best in Baltimore. One said one thing, and another said something else about my illness. I tried hospitals. They did me no good, and I grew worse all the time. A friend he had cured recommended me to try Dr. David N. E. Campbell, the Lung and Nerve. Specialist, 1369 North Carey Street. At first I hesitated, finally, he examined me heighed and said he was sorry for me. He told me things about my complaint no other physician had ever touched upon. He has treated me and made practically a new man out of me. I am now a street car conductor. Since then, he has cured my friend's four years-old son Harry, who had convulsions and could scarcely stand or walk. The child now has no more spasms and is running about. The parents are delighted and thina Dr. Campbell is one out of hundreds. He has done me wonders, and I am not afraid to tell it.

JOHN H. BURKE
tor of Whateont M. E. Church, was in charge of old Sharp Street M. E. Church when it was really located on Sharp Street in South Baltimore. Being the son of an itinerant clergyman it is not strange that before leaving the paternal roof he lived successively in Lewishburg and Martinsburg, W. Va., Baltimore and, Annapolis, Md., New York City, Staunton, Va., and finally in Baltimore again. After completing schools in New York City and Staunton, Va., he finished the work of the Preparatory and College Departments of Howard University, Washington, D. C., receiving the degree of A. B. in 1901. He spent nearly a year in the study of Education in the Teachers' College of the same institution after which he taught in the Summer High School of St. Louis, Mo., from March to July 1902. In 1903 he was elected to the staff of the local high school as instructor in sciences and during the following fifteen years remained a member of the faculty of that institution. In 1906 he was made head of the Department of Sciences and in 1909 vice principal. While teaching in Baltimore Mr. Holmes was active as a citizen and a leader in educational interests, serving as president of the Schoolmasters' Club and of the Baltimore National Association this period was also honored by election for four successive years as president of the General Alumni Asociation of Howard University.
Mr. Holmes resigned from the local school system in April 1917 upon appointment of a position in the Miner Normal School of Washington. B. C. Two years later he responded to the call of his Alma Mater and accepted the position of Registrar and Professor of Education in Howard University. At the resigning of Dean Lewis B. Moore Professor of Alma Mater, Dean of the School of Education, a position for which by temperament, training and experience he is eminently fitted.
In addition to his study of Education at Howard University, Dean Holmes studied at Johns Hopkins and Columbia Universities. From the latter he received the Degree of Master of Arts and the Masters Diploma in Education. Howard University also conferred upon him the honorary degree of A. M. at the commencement of 1912. Since he entered upon his work at Howard, Professor Holmes has been called upon to represent the University several times. In April 1918 he attended the meeting of the American Association of Collegiate Registrars at the University and in April 1920 he attended the meeting of the same body in Washington, D. C. As the University representative he attended the meeting of the Association of Colleges for Negro Youth held at Talladge College in November 1919 and the meeting of the same body at Fisk University in December 1920.

Mr. And Mrs. W. Ashbie Hawkins
Anquance Wedding
It has just leaked out that Miss Mamie Sorrell, for a number of years a teacher in School 112 and W. Ashbie Hawkins, well known lawyer and supreme chancellor of the Knights of Lythras for the Eastern and Western Hemisphere, went to Ellicott City and were married by Rev. Sylvester H. Norwood, a month ago.

M. E. Zion Church, that city. When he told the attendant the name of the man he wanted to see the latter seemed flabbergasted. He was shunted along to another man, to whom he repeated his desire. "There are no colored people in the part where he is." Dr. Shaw was told.
"I have white as well colored friends," the minister replied.
friends," the minister replied.
He was forthwith shown to the patient's private room and there, while attendants stood with months wide open, the two St. Louisans chatted like friends of long standing always do:
Dr. Shaw pastored in St. Louis while Bishop Brooks was also stationed there and nearly equaled the latters' reputation as a money raiser.

MINISTERS WORK IN THE WEST
Colored Folks Of The Pacific Coast Not Especially Interested In Going To Church
RACES INTERMARRY
Japanese Take Colored Brides, Colored Men Marry Mexican Women
Colored people in California and other Pacific Coast states are not at all interested in church work according to Rev. Mack Allen, pastor of the Macedonia Baptist Church in Pasadena, California, who addressed the ministers of the Baptist Preachers' Meeting held at Union Baptist Church Monday morning.
Rev. Mr. Allen has been given a three months vacation by his congregation and is visiting his mother in Camden, N. J., while on a tour in the East. He is accompanied.
As an indication of the fact that church work lags in the far West, Rev. Mr. Allen declared that there are only about thirty church states, the largest of these having a congregation of 150 members. In his own church there are 65 members. The average attendance is from 15 to 25 on Sunday. Members seem in no mood to attend the past or and believe then that they have done their whole church duty. Because of the small attendance, few members are put out for dancing.
On account of the smallness of the speaker said most of the ministers engage themselves to other work as carpenters, waters bell boys and builders or factory hands during the week but then proceed on Sunday. The congregation compel the minister's salary amount to six or seven dollars a month. His full salary which amounted to one hundred and seventy-five dollars a month was contributed by the wealthy white people of the con
Japanese control most of the buying and selling in the West and because of the fact that Japanese women are not permitted the men. Mr. Alben said that Japanese marry every colored women they can get their hands on. Colored men retaliate by marrying Mexican women. The minimum wage law is affect throughout the West, the lowest salary is $7.50 at $17.50 that colored women who do work are able to keep themselves in good circumstances. Absence of prejudice in many parts of the West together with territories of Japanese soil, made the book discouraging for strong healthy churches in that section.

On hundred years ago the Methodist Episcopal Church passed a law at it general conference that its poachers should not be barterers, declared the Superintendent of the Anti Sabbon League before a congregation in Sharp Street Church Sunday night.
Mr. Crabbe cited this instance to show that the anti Sabbon did not allow a prohibition. About the same time, he said, the Epistol denomination passed a law that ministers should not sell liquor on church premises during services, and the Prohibition passed a law that ministers should not sell liquor on selling whiskey.
Although the Eighteenth Amendment has been passed wining out the saloon, Mr. Crumbie said the gun. "We find out that you can't have a dry city in a wet county, a dry county in a wet nation and we can't have a dry nation in a wet world. For this reason the Anti Saloon League has inaugurated a program to carry prohibition into country on the face of the globe."

A Weekly Review
By WILLIAM E. READY
THE NEW REGENT
Babbies and Stafford Wiff, Waff. Waffles Company has been selected to anuse patron of the Newgent this week, and the choice loved at the opening performance. Monday to have been a fairly successful one if applause may be led as a criterion. The "Elopent" was the opening skit. Amon Davis and Eddie Stafford of the chief tun-makers, and air antics kept the audience in a state of continuous merriment. August looks after the "straight". The female lead is in the bands Miss Ethel Watts who has a voice and shows much acting experience. Miss Elvira Davis has the soulsite role and exhibited quite a of grace, and charm in her act. The chorus is composed of a quet of "brown" lads who apparently have just completed a graduate course in the school. The good applester demonstrators of this act seem here this season.
Another of the more pleasing
titures of the chow is a line
artette composed of Messas
obinson, Jackson, Holman, and
Jackson.
The extensive warehouse is carried
mittening principally and chops
make a variety of changes of
calumes.
The company also carries special
energy.
Miss Laura Brown is musical
of the company, and
moves highly capable. The latter
of the week a new shib will be
presented.
On June 2, 3. 4. Dumbart's "The
port of the Gods" will be the big
feature attraction, with an all-
loved cast.
THE NEW RAINBOW
The Rainbow began the week
thru a big western production en-
abled "Fighting Bill" headed by
m. Fakbanks.
Harry Carey, another screen
boy followed on Tuesday with
m. Fakbanks. On Wednesday
and Thursday Pearl White was
led in "The Mountain Woman"
is time the one and only Pearl
pears in the role of a daughter
Kentucky.
Today Bibb Jones appears in
"Big Beach." Also an episode
"Fantomus" will be shown
and on tomorrow Bobart Hos-
orth in "Jis Own Law" will be
feature attraction.
The management of the Lin-
ncoln found it necessary to cancel

FOR BERT WILLIAMS
Bert Williams' contract with the "Broadway Brevities" expired during the month of April, and the show was not ready to close. The big colored comedian being the great asset of the attraction was able to name a good figure for his continued service with the company.
He only asked for 10 per cent. of the receipts, and on that basis, has for the past six weeks been averaging something better than $1700 per week. In fact during the engagement of the company at the Studebaker in Chicago, it is said that his income was far in excess of that figure.
This, in addition to his song and record royalties will enable the poor fellow to take a day off one day this summer and go to Bronx or enjoy some other inexpensive amusement before opening with his new show "The Pink Slip" next season.

JONES—In sad but loving remembrance of my dear husband and our dear father, John E. Jones, who departed this life one year ago today. May 24, 1920.
Loved in life in death remembered
By his wife and children.
SPEARS—In loving memory of
our dear husband and father,
James W. Spears, who departed
this life five years ago, May 23,
1916.
Call not back the dear departed,
Anchored safe where storms are
o'er.
On the border land we left him.
Soon to meet to part no more.
We will soon pass on to meet him
And make whole the broken band
And meet him just across the river
In the happy spirit land.
Where his arms will be extended
To embrace us one by one.
When our work below is ended
And our mortal course is run.
By his loving wife and daughter,
father and mother.
PARKER—In sad but loving remembrance of my dear wife and mother, Josephine Parker, who departed this life in full triumph of faith, May 25, 1920.
Dear is the grave where my wife lays
Sweet is the memory which never shall fade
Roses may wither, leaves fade and
Roses may wither, leaves fade and die
Others may forget you, but never will I.
By her husband and daughter,
DENNIS PARKER and DORIS
Dear is the grave where my daughter is laid.
Sweet is the memory which never shall fade;
Heart of my life is buried deep
Under the sod where my dear daughter sleeps.
She will never be forgotten
While in this world I stay
My heart has never been the same
Since she was called away.
Oh, the memory of that evening
When I knew my daughter was dead
My heart was crushed with sorrow
And many bitter tears I shed.
By her mother JEANIE BUTLER
The month of May again is here
To me the saddest of the year
Because a year ago this May
My dear sister passed away.
O. how we sat by her bedside
Watching her night and day
Trying to soothe her aching pains
But death came and stole her away.
By her loving sister.
O. ODA SHIELDS
We never can forget you dear sister
While in this world we stay;
Our hearts have never been the same
Since you have passed away,
When we speak your loving name
Our eyes with tears are wet
Oh Josephine, how we loved you
And love we cannot forget
We stood beside your bedside
We saw your soul depart;
Then we knew that you were dead
And it nearly broke our hearts.
By her sister.
GRACE EDWARDS:
DORSEY—In sad but loving memory of my dear brother, Nathaniel Dorssey, of Friday, Md. who departed this life in full triumph on May 25, 1918.

Down came the Heavenly guarden, and took our bad away. By her loving father and mother.

"A CHILD FOR SALE"
The story deals with the trials and tribulations for the most part of Charles Stoddard a poor artist living with his wife and two children in Green Village. As a result of his extreme poverty, his wife dies, leaving him to fight alone the battle of existence for the remaining family trio, but the prevailing conditions of the day drive him to sell one of his children for $1000 to a rich childless woman in order to provide the necessities of life for his other child. When his son returns and learns of the sale of his little sister, the heart-broken boy causes his father to realize his terrible error. Was he right in do-

ARTISTS IN RECITAL
Emmanuel Church Organist, Solist and Violinist At Madison Street
(BY M. J. Davis)
Before an appreciative audience a Madison Street Presbyterian Church, Frederick L. Erickson, organist of the Emmanuel P. E. Church, assisted by Allen C. Hammond, tenor and William Hennberger, violinist, were heard in brilliant recital. All of the artists are white.
Mr. Erickson showed himself the master of many moods in his program, first dignified and stately as in his first two numbers, graceful and gay in the "Fountain Reverie" and "The Rippling Brook;" blissful imagination in the DuBols numb in perfect harmony with the weird strains of DuBols' music.
Mr. Hammond's solos were well chosen and his rich flexible voice and faultless enunciation were admirably supported by Mr. Henneberger on the violin.
The Eva Jenifer Neighborhood Club held a formal opening of its club house, 1348 N. Calhoun St., Tuesday evening from 8 to 11. One hundred and fifty persons attended. The club was organized by Mrs. Eva Jenifer and incorporated in June 1911. It has aided many families in the community and conducted sewing classes. The home has been paid for and the club house will be a community center, wherein clubs and classes will be formed and rooms provided for worthy girls. Officers include Mrs. Martha Thompson, chairman of the executive board; Miss Alice McGunn, president; Mrs. L. M. McGunn, chairman of the membership drive. Miss Lucy Day in charge of the club house.

Ellsworth Toomey's Artists Score Success With the "Pirates"
On last Friday evening, Mr. L. Elsworth Toomey present his Trogladours, Class in Department and Musical Art Club in their annual fantasie at the Lyric Theatre before a large and appreciative audience.
"The Pirates," as it was called, tells the story of a Spanish nobleman whose beautiful daughter is kidnapped by a young American plenter who also poses as chief of the pirates.
Acting honors among the young lad's of the cast went to Miss Mihred Jones as the kidnapped plenter. While among the young men of the cast it was shared between Oscar Watts in the dual role of the planter and the pirate chief, Harry Nolette as the nobleman, Jerome Carrington as a retired pupilist and Wesley Bowie as the chief of the guards.
Especially pleasing was Miss Jon's impersonation. The charm, grace and assurance she revealed in her acting was scarcely less than might have been expected in one, many years her senior, both in age and stage experience. Equally as pleasing was her singing, although the voice is not strong enough; it is true in pitch and possesses a sweetness that is very appealing. The singing honors of the evening went to Migs Adole Carr, in the role of an American heiress.
ing went to Miss Adole Carr, in the role of an American heiress. Others in the cast whose work deserves favorable mention were Miss Lillian Hebron as the wife of the nobleman, Miss Dorothy Gambrill as the daughter's instructor and Masters Dixon and Brown as the guards. With the second part the real treat of the evening was presented which consisted of a series of dances by the real juveniles among Prof. Toomey the terpsichore proteges.
In varying numbers and ages, group after group rushed from the wings and executed dances that were as remarkable as unexpected. Calling forth from the audience prolonged and enthusiastic applause, culminating in something akin to a riot when Miss Alice Chambers, who proudly boasts of the ripe age of 5 years, appeared in the center of the stage at the Lyric entirely alone and proceeded to dance "La. Coquette" not only in time with the music, but with a variety of rather difficult steps. Other, specially worthy of mention during this last part was a xylophone duet executed by Jerome Carrington and Wesley Bowle. Dancing followed the performance. W E R

PROHIBITION!!!
FEW PEOPLE, probably, among our race realize the effect of PROHIBITION on the Amusement World.
SIMULTANEOUS with the passing of the Volstead Act, the number of theatregoers increased two-fold, as is easily evidenced by the large number of theatres and motion picture houses erected in the city in the past two years. The reason for the increase is obvious.
THE POINT IS, HOWEVER, that a realization of the above fact should induce the investing public to take advantage of the unprecedented situation by putting their money in a proposition of this kind, and there is no better opportunity anywhere than the offer of the
DOUGLASS AMUSEMENT CORP.
7 Per Cent Participating Preferred STOCK in the The Douglass Theatre AT $10.00 PER SHARE
THINK of the Rivoli, the Boulevard, the Century and other big local theatres built since July 1st, 1919, and who now have NO stock for sale. THEN make up your mind to ACT.
BROADWAY THEATRE
Now under construction on Pennsylvania avenue near Lanvale street
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 of 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 $600,000.
THE FACT that the Dunbar Theatre in Philadelphia under the same guidance has been able to pay a dividend of 8% during the first year of its operation should conclusively to anyone that this latest venture will pay handsome Dividends to the investor.
IF 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.
IF YOU ARE interested in the Race to the extent of desiring a theatre or theatres where yourself or family can go freely and see the finest Broadway productions presented by capable artists, investment in the Douglass Stock will make this possible.
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.

BOY ESCAPED WILLIAMS' FARM
North Carolina Minister
Tells Of Taking Him From
White Train Conductor
In Salisbury
In a moving recital of adverse
conditions as they exist in some
parts of the South toward the colo-
red people. Rev. Robert H. H.,
secretary of the
A. M. E. Zion Church, told the Philadelphia and Baltimore Conference of that denomination last Saturday of the arrest of a 17-year-old boy named Hart at his school, who had escaped from the Williams peonage farm down in Georgia.
The boy had been arrested by railroad hands for stealing a ride on a train. At Salisbury, provisional court ordered the conductor to him to Washington and place him in his (the conductor's) home. Rev. Matthews demanded to know what provision the conductor intended making for the boy's education, asking an unsatisfactory reply, the minister then demanded that the boy be given over to his care, and he is now domiciled at Livingstone College.
Dr. Matthews said the boy told him that his mother is still on the peonage farm and that his father is not in the house.
The ministers were discussing a resolution introduced by Rev. F. R. Killingsworth, which arranged the Ku Klux Klan, peonage, lynching and other conditions that operate
Bishop James S. Caldwell in discussing the resolution, asserted (that every legitimate step must be taken to prevent the spread of the disease) country, "if allowed to go on unchecked," he said, "this and other extreme
measures aimed against the race may lead to strife. Governor Robertson was praised for his stand against peonage. Rev. Alexander Hammon, of Philadelphia, told of the good work that the Interracial Committee is making.

TERM FOR MURDER
Howard Lee Johnson Is Convicted In Second Degree But Asks New Trial
Following a two-day trial, stubbornly contested by both the State and the defense, a jury in the Criminal Court brought in a verdict of murder in the second degree against Hester Hoggan, engaged with shooting his brother-in-law, W. Charles Cooper, in the near-bear saloon run by Gilbert Cooper, 1818 Orsons street, April 4 last. The State asked for a murder in the first degree, John Hoggan in the first degree was suspended following a motion by Attorney Harry B. Wolf asking for a new trial.
On both days the court room and corridors were crowded with colorful flowers. Judge Duffy ordered that whites not allowed in the courtroom, the case being one in which colored people were the ones most interested. Following the surrender of Johnson and his subsequent release on $2,000 bail, many people in the Eastern section of the city were indignant, and the State's Attorney office and others voicing their protest. When many learned that Johnson had been convicted they gave evidence of approval. Some thought he would never be convicted. Johnson, it appears, had been drinking, and was reprimanded by the dead man for an alleged attempt to kill him. He said to have cursed Cooper and when Gilbert, the latter's son, objected, pulled out a revolver and sent a bullet crashing through his brother-in-law's brain. Mrs. Cooper
Cooper was well known in business circles in East Baltimore. He had been in the habit of carrying his son's supper to the place
