THE AFRO AMERICAN THE BLACK STAR LINE TROUBLES AIRED IN COURT Reason Discovered Why Steamer Kanawha Lies Stranded In Jamaica GARVEY ACCUSES SKIPPER Says Captain Squandered $330 Per Month Salary In Drinking and Gambling New York City, Jan. 5.—The reason why the steamship Kanawha, of the Black Star Line has been lying in the harbor of Jamaica, British West Indies since June, 1921, was brought out last week in the city courts. Marcus Garvey, head of the line, charges that Captain Adrian Richardson, former master of the vessel, by his handling of the ship made it impossible to put to sea again. Captain Richardson denied the charges of Mr. Garvey and filed affidavit showing that he was back in his salary. The trouble began when Capt. Richardson agreed to take charge of the Kanawha December 6, 1920, at $330 a month. He remained in command until June, 1921, when Garvey ordered him to report to the New York office for his pay. Richardson claims, in an avidly filled before Justice Holtckiss in the supreme court, that Garvey owed him $3,574.73 and interest on $1,873.30 from June 18, 1921, and on $1,735.84 from June 28, 1921. Richardson charges this as back pay and money spent in Garvey's interest. He says he spent $13,094.94 and received $11,732.40. Garvey entered a counter claim denying all of Richardson's charges and asserting that the shipmaster owed him money. He also charges Richardson's gross negligence in handling the Kanawha cost the船主 $3,000 thousands of dollars. Justice Holtckiss has reserved decision. The affidavit submitted in court also charges that Capt. Richardson was drunk during the voyage; that he shot emap on deck with the crew, failed to maintain discipline and used profane and obscene language in the presence of passengers. It is also charged that Richardson put into Norfolk, although that port was not included in his list, so that he might visit his wife, and that while mooring the Kanawha to a pier he smashed the stern of the ship and caused it to be laid up for repairs.

Meets FRENCH WRITER BANISHED FOR PLAIN SPEAKING Rene Maran, West Indian Negro, Now In Disgrace In Wilds Of Equatorial Africa WROTE BEST 1921 NOVEL $1200 Concourt Prize May Therefore Be Delayed In Reaching Him Associated Negro Press The Literary Sensation of the Times is the recent awarding of the famous Gonecourt prize to Rene Maran. The Associated Negro Press, therefore, reproduces the following Paris dispatch which came to the New York World: Paris, Dec. 17—Few literary events have created such a stir as the winning of the Edmond de Gonecourt prize by Rene Maran, the Negro writer, with his novel "Batoula." Maran himself will probably be the last person in the world to learn of his success, for he is now in the wilds of equatorial Africa, three days march from Lake Chad. Maran is a native of Mauritius, W. I. The prize is $1200 awarded for the best novel of the year. In a recent letter Maran told a friend in Paris his only neighbors are nine white men who are scattered among the native villages within the vast area under their administration. Hyeons and pantsrow prowl each night around Maran's lonely but at Port, Archambault, where he was sent in disguise for his two uncle, criticism for his "no white man's methods in the colonies Awowedly the apostle of his own race, Maran's book is not the passionate presentation of the cause of the abdicents of the Dark Continent, but rather the thought he pleads in a veilment preface for kinder treatment of his colored brothers by the French colonial functionaries. Maran does not flatter these dusky inhabitants of the African brush. On the contrary, he portrays in the darkest of colors the sorridal existence of masses who think only of sleeping, hunting, eating and women. Sincerity Marks Book "Batouala" is the story of the love drama of a jungle chief, with all the primitive elements, deceit, hedonism, intrigue, hate, community to all humanity in every time, kindled to unbridled ferocity beneath the glare of the African sun. In the book vivid descriptions abound of village orgies, feasts, hunts and native ceremonies in Bangladesh. Probably it is his very sincerity that makes Maranta book one who is in his history of but 20,000 words. Many details of the chieftain Batouala's eighth wife, who for long refused to go the way of her seven resisters and accept the embraces of the sixteen year old casuario, Bissibinguai. Ultimately the eighty wife weakens but Batouala arrives and vows revenge on Bissibinguai. This is to be a long planned affair. "The white sees red whereas hate is a long patience you must put everything at the disposal of your enemy. Give him the best of times." The particular and chosen for Bissibinguai is to be eaten by a cannery and panda springs on Batouala instead and his eighth wife proceeds to live with Bissibinguai many weeks beside the dying chieftan.

COLORED PRISONERS WEPT AS SOCIALIST DEBS LEFT ATLANTA HIS INFLUENCE FEARED Parties Alarmed At His Agitation For Full Citizenship Rights Washington, D. C., Jan. 1.-The release of Eugene V. Debs, several times a candidate for President on the Socialist ticket, has produced a new angle in national politics at this time. Debs has been fearless in his denunciation of American racial prejudice, and has won the silent, as well as active, admiration of thousands of Negroes throughout the United States. It is altogether likely that in a situation where a veteran activist will "turn loose a barrel full" on Negrophobia. Politically, leaders are frankly alarmed at the situation, and are "sitting tight," wondering what may happen. When the prison doors closed on Debs at Atlanta, the Socialist leader wept; deeply, touched by the scene he had just left. A most remarkable demonstration had attested his departure from prison. All institutions in the prison had been suspended in his honor and the 2,300 inmates he mittened to give him a resigned "send-off." As he winked at the warden's vehicle his final release heeps from the 2,300 throats echoed through the great stone building. They stood at the windows and cheered, again as he entered the warden's automobile and rode out of prison into freedom. Early in the morning he had said farewell to most of them individually. They embraced the "best beloved prisoner" as Debs was known in the Atlanta institution and went as he parted from them. One youth swooled in his "mus." The last farewell to Sam Moore who had been an inmate of the prison for thirty years, sent there from Washington for a murder committed while he was a boy. In the prison Debs was known as the "guardian of the Negro inmates." He and Moore had struck up a close friendship during the three years of his confinement. Debs kissed the black man as they parted and both broke down. "Sam Moore deserves to be out more than I do," said Debs later. "I find a change when I was young, he never had." One young Negro timely made a trust request of the Socialist leader. "Brother Debs, I want yo' to write a love pome for me so my's I can send it to my best gal," said he. "And you bet I'm going to do it as soon as I get back home," Debs announced. "Never wrote a love poem, but I shull do my best." I. N. ROSS LEAVES Y Washington, D. C. Jan. 5—I. N. Ross Ph.D. director of the Y. has resigned to become advertising manager of the Colored American. TAYLOR AND JENKINS ASSETS AROUND $50,000 Liabilities Of Bank Now In Receiver's May Reach Total of Approximately $83,000 TAYLOR DENIES RUMOR Head Of Firm Says He Did Not Use People's Money To Finance Business With most of the work on the books of the banking firm of Taylor and Jenkins completed, Harry O. Wilson, receiver in bankruptcy, may start soon to liquidate the assets of the firm and pay off the creditors. Revised estimates of the assets and liabilities of the banking firm show that the bankers at the time of closing owed nearly. $30,000 more than they were worth, as follows: ASSETS: Real estate, $10,600; Stocks and Bonds, $12,740; Furniture and fixtures, $3,963; Notes $13,992; Mortgages, $7,216; Overdrafts, $14,454; Cash on hand, $551.40; Special accounts, $592.76; Total $49,835.65. Liquidating these out the total to $18,000 or $20,000. LIABILITIES: Commercial accounts, $15,858; Savings accounts $27,846; Xmas Savings Club $22,000; Bills payable, $973; Owe other banks, $3,600; Certified checks, $378; on loan to real estate $11,545; bank loans $82,929. Taylor Dedals Runners. Runners to the effect that the large difference between the assets and liabilities of the firm were due to the fact that M. E. B. Taylor borrowed $18,000 from the bank to fit out the Century Roof Garden over the Country theatre for his wedding, were denied by Taylor yesterday. "The only equipment I have at the Century," he said, "consists of linen, silver and glass ware, and a large part of this came from my own stocks. You can say for me that I kept the accounts of my business separate from my accounts of books and my books of money. When the bank closed I had on deposit there a sum amounting to some $2,000 or my own funds. "You can also say for me that I have satisfactorily accounted to the receiver for the difference between our assets and liabilities, and that I have put in all my except one account in my business, which I intend to use as a means of paying back to the bank's creditors every cent we owe." Has Not Brown From Brown Asked if he had heard anything from T. Thomas Brown of the banking firm of Brown and Wingate, who disappeared three weeks ago just before his firm became bankrupt, Mr. Wingate, the man also been appointed receiver for this applied in the negative, added that it was his opinion that the failure of Brown and Wingate was due to poor business judgment and not to any absconding of the banker with the people's money. All the real estate of the bank, its furniture, the printings plant of the Maryland House, Voice, and Mr. Brown's Home, 400 Gold Street, furniture have been freed by Mr. Wilson in the hands of a local auctioneer to be sold off in the next few weeks.

For Grace Presbyterian Church with her mortgage indebtedness liquidated, current expenses running smoothly, a few hundred dollars in the bank for renovation soon to begin and a membership 359-all this presents a different picture for the future of the church than when I began. I have buried some very devout Christians of this church whose saints lives shall ever be a perpetual memory to me. Tender cords of love have bound me to you in the baptism of infants and adults and around the beside of the sick and the sick among the children of the Salabath School converted and added to the church. I have tried to shepherd you in a capacity becoming a shepherd who must mount summits and descend in the valleys indefense of his sheep. There are, in order that there be continuity in our endeavors and oneness of purpose: "Let us lay aside every weight and the sins that doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is before us looking unto Jesus. "Having had our wilderness experiences, I have prepared for my text "Commons formations of Moses." "Speak to the children of Israel that they go forward." Rev. Stewart Says He Was Mis-Interpreted To the Editor of the Afro-American: May I congratulate you upon the general accurateness of your paper but pray your indulgence that attention may be called to a very misleading statement in your issue of December 30, 1921 headed "Calls A. H. K. Church Jim Grey" I did not make the broad statement that "Protestantism is a commercialized and disorganized institution, more interested in raising money than saving souls." I did say, however that Protestantism did not allow the attempt to claim the intensive and time tried organization of other religious bodies which have withstood the trying of so many centuries. Also that the many divisions into which protestantism is divided is proof that it cannot claim a united front when it has no unified organization as a religious body as a religious body is largely commercialized beyond its efforts to save souls and that the tenets and doctrines of the church often suffer when they are superceded by a desire to replenish church treasures. To these extents the Protestant church is largely commercialized. Many illustrations demonstrated these features. Your excellent paper also stated "He (Rex. Stewart) aroused theire of some of the ministers when he declared the African Methodist Episcopal Church to be a 'Jim Crow' institution and asserted that many colored people who have the blood of the African Methodist Episcopal Church through their veins are hostile to the church because of the use of the term 'African'. I did not say the A. M. E. Church was a "Jim Crow" church but that three prominent churchmen of the church in arguing for the unification of our Negro Methodist bodies under a new name, had referred to the A. M. E. church, together with other colored Methodists. This reference to their statements, was incidental and was not to give credence to or discredit their statements. It was a passing reference leading to the argument on the rise 'of the Protestant Church. As to the other statement, it should have read "many peoples of color (referring to Japanese, Chinese, Indians, etc.) as well as other peoples who have blood other than colored running through their veins (referring to the different branches of the white race) have expressed a seeming hostility to our church because of African. No reference whatever was made to colored people having the blood of other races in their veins. It did say that the church today winks at the amusement question and does not face it squarely.

RIDEOUT—In sad but loving remembrance of our dear mother; Marion Rideout, who departed this life five years ago, January 6th, 1917. We who loved you, sadly miss you. As it dawns five years. In the lonely hours of thinking Thoughts of you are ever near Time may head an aching heart. Time may make the wound less But time will never stop the longing For the loved one gone before. By her devoted Children. GIBSON—In remembrance of my dear sister, Margaret Cooper Gibson, who departed this life January 7, 1920. Cahal and serene In all her suffer- ings. Gentle is a little bomb. Pressing down toward the Jordan. Guided by the Saviour's hand. Now she has reached that Blessed City. Where pain and sorrow are no more; But I'll meet her some glad morn- ing. On that bright celestial shore. By her sister. MRS. SOPHIA TRAVERS. DIED IN MEMORIAM IN MEMORIAM BOYER—A loving tribute to the memory of our dear wife and mother, who died 7 years ago, Jan. 9, 1915. Some day, some time my eyes shall see. To never say farewell. Thou art gone, but not forgotten Fresh my love shall always be. For as long as there is memory I shall always think of thee. And those who think of her today Are the ones who loved her best. Not dead. There's a glorious hope That lessens our sorrow and pain Then-help us, O Lord, to be giftful That we may meet mother again. By her Children. CEPHAS—In sad but loving re- membrance of our dear mother, Eliza Cephas, who died at East New Market, Md., one year ago today, January 4th 1821. Often when the days are brightest, There's a gloom within our hearts. For it brings back all sad memories Of the day God hade us part. More and more each day we miss her. Friends may think the wound is healed; But they little know the sorrow That lies within our hearts con- cealed. Whose love can equal the love of a mother, Whose devotion was loyal and true; Who suffered so much with the joy for another, Who works with such pleasure for you? Today recalls sad memory. Of a loved one gone to rest. And the ones who think of her today Are the one who loved her best. The hand that did so much for us When helplessly we lay; God knows they worked continuously, But they are gone today. For the Lord who gave has called you. To His will we all must bow: You are free from pain and suffer Not a care can reach you now. By her Loving Children. COSTLY—In loving remembrance of my dear wife and our mother, Dora Costly, who departed this life, one year ago, January 4, 1821. Peaceful be thy rest, dear wife. Tis sweet to breathe thy name. In life I loved you dearly. In death I do the same. Sleep on dear mother and take your rest. God called you home he thought it best. He saw your suffering here so great. And opened wide the golden gate. By her husband and children. The month of January once more is here. To us the sadest of the year. Because it took from us away. Our dearest sister one year ago today. By her sisters and brothers. Classified A MASSAGE Classified Advertisements WANTED—Ladies to learn "Swedish Body Massage." Terms moderate. Diplomus. Write.

JAN. 6, 1922 MOVIE OFFERINGS NATIONAL The company which the management of the National had secured for this house this week failed to put in its appearance, but attempt to fill the vacant on Monday, the management was able to obtain Parker and Mack, a man and woman. It was a delightful if a better duo of civilians could have been secured. If one is to judge by therousing reception that was given at the opening performance, Miss Mack is a very comelyyoung woman and a dinner and dinner, ability both natural and born of experience, and the crowd liked her. Parker is a condition of more than ordinaryability, and in addition can dance well. He knows what constitutes comedy and serves it up in a style. A special bill of picturegrams have been secured to supplement the week's program for the coming week will be found in an adjoining column. AMERICAN Lester Cuno in "Blue Blazes" was the opening attraction at the American on Monday. On Tuesday the house could not accommodate the awards who came to see "The Spoiler" the big feature which tells the story of a rush to Alaska years ago, when the report came that gold had been discovered This is anniversary week at the American, and the manager' desires to express his thanks to those who have patronized him during the past year, and wishes to inform them that he intends to give them during the coming year the very last pictures that can be procured. Special attention is earlier of Robertson-Oliver special production which will be shown at this house on Saturday, entitled "Cold Stone." Monday, the opening attraction will be a First National attraction, entitled "Heading North." featuring Romaine Fielding. ROOSEVELT The New Year was begun at the Rosewood with "The Black Thunderbolt" the picture in which Jack Johnson, ex-heavyweight champion of the world, is the featured player. This picture was made in Spain during the time the ex-campain was in exile in that country. This picture was reviewed recently in these columns on the occasion of its first showing in this city. With the exception of the fact that the direction does not alter the measure up to the more advanced American standards, it is a rather interesting production, and gives Johnson ample opportunity to demonstrate a measure of imprint talent as a movie actor. This picture drew immense audiences on Monday, and was continued on Tuesday, and was continued on Thursday, another fine production was offered in "Women Men Love" featuring Winn, Desmond and Martha Mansfield. The management desires to call especially to the attention of the patrons of the Roosevelt, the big production starring Wallace Reid, entitled, "The Hell Diggers," which will be shown Friday and Saturday. Next Monday, the opening attraction will be "Discworld," the screen version of the famous play of the same title in which George Albs, the famous English actor, made such a hit on the speaking screen as this one. In the screen version this actor is still feature. The title role. This picture we be shown for two days, and no more of good pictures can afford to miss it. On Tuesday and Thursday, The I of the World" will be shown on the beautiful Betty Company as the featured player on Friday and Saturday, "Shams of Salsify," featuring Montague Love, will be shown. DUNRAR The Dumbar drew big audiences on Monday to witness the very fine production featuring Frank Mayo entitled "The Magnificent Brute." This is a production of the Canadian Woods and aside from the show contains, she shows, several memorable scenes. On Tuesday another great picture was offered at this house entitled "When Lights Are Low," starring Sessus Hayakawa, the Japanese star. Special attention is called by the management to the two big features which will be offered at this house on Thursday and Friday of this week, namely, on Thursday, "The Smith Stories," on Friday, "The Foolish Ace," on Friday, "The Robinson-Cole special featuring Doris May. The program for the coming week will be found in the theatrical adver- STAR For the New Year stage offering at the Star the management secured the big Watts and Wilts Ebony Vampire Company, an aggregation which is the equal of any that has been seen here for sometimes. Every member of the large cast is a good entertainer and land worker, and this fact seems to have preceded them, for on Sunday the street in front of Star is crowded with patrons strung up to get into the theatre. The fun-making is in the hands of billy Watts, Zachariah White and John Jenkins, which is sufficient guarantee that the audience left the theatre with its sides aching. The feminine contingent is headed by Madam Willis, the famous nightingale, whose powerful singing vole won her a good hand, the member of the feminine band made up of Martha McRae, the vocal jazz singer, whose equal this style of singing would be his to find. Others who did good work were Clemon Harris, in a straight, and a chorus of real shim-snakers in the persons of Clara Campbell, Iris Miller, Myrtle Bridges, and Jessie Bradley, all at the house on Wednesday and Friday nights. The usual picture program complete the bill. Rough & Read Featuring THE STAR OF ST Featuring THE STAR OF STARS WM.

"BICKLY" comedy PRICES LINCOLN On the Monster On the 16th, "The Green-Eyed Monster," the big colored feature with an all-colored cast, will be shown. On the 17th, another big feature will be offered in "The Killer." Hardack Jackson and his 21st Century Wonders, are in their second and last week at the Rainbow, as the stage attraction, and are creating the same riot at every performance, that they did last week. Jackson's company is among the best on the road. This week the first half is devoted to a playlet entitled, "Miss Nobody's Hotel." During the progress of this sketch, every member of the company gets an opportunity to display his or her talent to the best advantage, and each measures up to the opportunity offered. Those who do so are Louise Jackson, as proprietress of the hotel; Hardack Jackson, in the balloon, and Paul Jackson as the female cook. Jackson kept the house in an upright by his anties while left in charge of the hotel. Other members of the east are: Laura Badge, Marion Dodge, Harry Jackson, Arthur Jackson, Viola Smith, Adela Cobb, Flora Scales, Corinne Jackson, and Alexander Jackson. "The Window Opposite," featuring Leah Baird, was the principal screen attraction on Monday. FRENCH WRITER BANISHED FOR PLAIN SPEAKING Continued from page 4. risy. Pleads For Brotherhood There were no whites, no blacks; all are brothers, he says. One should not steal nor beat a neighbor. War and savagery were one. And blacks were compelled to go away to fight the battles the whites under pain of being hanged, the whites full bloom of health, batallion always railed at the whites, laughing at their suffering from the heat, mosquitoes, scorpions and flies, their coloured spectacles and the baskets on their heads, and he professed disgust at the cadaver odor emanating from their bodies. "The whites!" Only their malignity and knowledge made them terrible. What must if they be Germans? French? Both play with us in the cat with a mouse, finally moving us. As we must be filled why wish for others than the French to kill us! We must remember when our people lived mercifully, smoking, eating, drinking, sleeping, loving. Then "The only useful thing they ever brought were absentee and the bed. They followed us and would impose their customs on us, more gambling, no more drinking, no more dancing, unless we paid." "Of the money we earned we are only allowed to take a particle. We became taxed flesh. What had we to expect of a race which had no heart? The whites even abbandoned the children they had from black women. White Women Worse Time Black "As for white women, we had believed them to be princes master. As easy as win as black women and more venal, they possessed our women, our women had nothing of. And we were asked to contact them." "We are only beasts of burden. Not even that; the whites feed, their dogs and horses. We are less than animals, less than the lowest. Slowly they kill us. "They treat us as lions. Our lions deceive no one. If we weaken the truth it is because the latter is unsatisfactory. They lie as methodically as they breathe; hence their superiority. Maran's only law is instinct without inhibitions; western moral is unnatural and whites display viciousness shocking to the native. In his preface the author instances, a village where the population has sunk from 10,000 to last seven years. "This he says, is whites came, bringing drink and disease and compelling the case- MONDAY A Christie Comedy TUESDAY A Screaming Comedy LINCOLN The stage offering at the Lincoln this week is Mills and Frisby's Daffy Dill Girls. No organization of players have appeared at this house in the last several months that is superior to this company. The chief fun-making is in the hands of Billy Mills, and he has few equals in this line of play, but the sort of comedian that you not only laugh AT, but laugh WITH. The female contingent is headed by Maud Frisby, who sings and dances nicely. Other principals whose work stands out are Lloyd Holland in a straight, Terry Williams, and King Rastus Brown, Jr. A special word must be said about Josephine Webb, one of the most accomplished little "jazz" babies ever seen here, and undoubtedly she will be heard from in the near future. Good work was also done by the other three members of the chorus, namely, Cathleine Jackson, Jessie Eason and Terry Webb, down the house" with their shimmy-shaking. The show is clean. The usual picture program completes the bill. REGENT A very pleasing departure from the customary jazz melody one has come to expect constantly with few exceptions—by the colored theatrical organizations that appears on the local circuit, is being offered at the Regent Theatre this week by Quintard Miller and his company, a small group of more than ten singers in a playlet entitled The Devil's a sort of tabloid version of a combination of "Experience" and "Everywoman." The theme of the playlet is the attempt of the Devil to lure a young man into the path of rain and destruction. In the role of the Young Man, Quintard Miller exhibited talent as a serious actor that was a genuine surprise to that part of the big matinee audience on Monday, who have knowledge of such things; and those did not fail to show their appreciation to work. Pushing him for top honors in characters parts were Henrytia Loveless—who appeared at the Regent a few weeks ago in a sister act with Estelle Cash—as Poverty and Purcelle Cuff as the Devil. Each of these players showed genuine acting ability, and she to her acting Miss Loveless lay sung verses especially a four-telling tea-cup number finally. Another bit bit was offered by Estelle Cash—who has also joined Miller—as Passion. She also won a big hand for her Egyptian snake-dance. Good work was also done by "Monkey" Johnson in blackface, as the friend of the Young Man, but too hard a customer for the Devil to get his mippers on, and finally rescues the young man by "shooting up" the young man by "shooting up" the girl "dive" where he has jumped. Johnson also woo laughs for a very humorous monologue. Others of the company whose work stood out were Marion Launche, soubriette, Helen Chapelle as Purity, Eugene One Lung, Ruby Jones, and Catherine Peese. "Children of the Hills" featuring Barbara Bedford was the principal screen attraction. CAREY "The Whistle," with Wm. S. Hart, in the stellar role, drew big New Year's Day audiences to the Carey on Monday, both matinee and night. This picture is one of the famous "Westerners' latest releases. An additional feature on this day was Jimmy McCoy in the feature film, "The Titlist." These features were continued on Tuesday. On Thursday, the second of the "Cyclone Smith" series, starring Eddie Polo, will be shown. Next Monday, the opening attraction will be George Arliss, in "The Devil," a screen version of the stage play of the same, title in which he won fame on the speaking stage some years ago. Scott Bennett comedy entitled, "Call A Cop," will be shown. On Tuesday, "Shadows of the West," featuring Hedda Nova and Lieut. O'Brien will be offered The Rege The Regent Theatre A.

Civilization Built On Corpses "But what does it matter? Only that those who fail to adapt them- selves to civilization disappear. Civilization, you are building your kingdom on corpses. You are no name but a furnace. Everything you touch you consume." Maran is now writing a volume entitled, "A Black Looks on the Whites." His own countrymen although proud of his success are unmournful in their disapproval of "Duttonia," which according to the colored deputy, Diagne, will cause "more than 100,000 white men to form an unfavorable opinion of the colored people whose lives are in danger." Many people in Paris are curious to learn the effect of this colored pran's Literary triumph on American opinion. In one of the downtown department stores two colored women were trying to select a picture but did not seem satisfied with any of them, which were white photographs, shown them by the clerk. Another clerk standing nearby called the young lady waiting on the customers and advised her to show them pictures of landscapes as her experiences had taught her that colored people are no longer interested in pictures of white faces.

Traub in the southwestern Police Court Tuesday in the attempt to lecture Miss Bertha Roye, 1005 W. Lexington street, and a pupil of the Colored Training School. Miss Roye had been arrested by police while on white, on the charge of disorderly conduct. He said the young woman had called him a "dern fool." In her statement Miss Roye, who appeared in court with school books in her arms, declared she was on her way home from school around 2 o'clock when she met Minsky, who smiled at her and attempted to flirt. It was not his first offense, she said. Thoroughly angry, she shook her finger in his face and called him a dern fool. Minsky testified that he followed her some distance, two or three squares, before he decided to arrest her. Magistrate Truh, one of Governor Hilchis' new men who did in the case, had a hurried consultation with the desk sergeant. The conversation could not be heard, but it appeared as if the desk sergeant informed him if he dismissed the case, suit against the police officer might follow. "Don't think I have any feeling against colored people," said the expatriate, showing a new and expressive smile, "but these high school girls and other colored girls are too sassy. I don't say the policeman didn't smile at her, but even if he did smile it was not his being to flirt with her. I dismiss his being on the payment of costs, $1.45." Former Lieut. Linwood Koger, who saw the arrest, reminded the officer that it was not necessary to use force. Accidents This Week Herbert Ellis, 1725 Maryland avenue, struck by Ford truck.

Inquiring Reporter He asks five persons picked at random a question. What do you think of the appointments of the five men to the internal, Revenue Department? THE ANSWER Dr. Jesse M. Wilkins, Pennsylvania avenue and Prestmann street—It is a very good thing. 'It is time they were doing something. Mr. A. M. Segoins, 1310 Drulc Hill avenue, Architect—I do very little talking and more thinking, though it is very good. Mr. Clarke L. Smith, 1328 Drulc Hill avenue, Lawyer—It is very good; it shows the disposition or the part of the Collector, though it isn't all we're looking for. Otis T. Ball, Prepman street, lawyer. "The step is a very good one, and will open the way for higher positions. Thomas T. Brown, 938 E. Monument street, Banker.

Watty And Others In Revenue Department Discussed Widely LEADERS FEARED REVOLT G. O. P. Has Been Losing Colored Voters In Recent Years The announcement by collector of Internal Revenue Galen L. Tait that he had appointed George A Watty a deputy collector, William L. Watkins, messenger and Jeremiah Chester, Carroll B. Day, warehouse agents has been a topic in political circles all over the state. The prompting motive behind the appointments is said to be the inability of holding the colored voters solidly for the G. O. P. within the past ten years. A number of times there has been such a defection among colored voters as to shatter the hopes of white voters and of the struggle in administration and the attitude of the present city regime have made many colored voters lukewarm about Republican success. What is regarded as a job conference was held in the office of Senator Welter at Washington last March, and colored men of Maryland told to parcel out the plums they wanted for themselves out of the department. They presented all presidential appointments within the State for themselves. The hostile attitude of thousands of colored voters in the recent election has been expressed and they issued a plea several weeks that some Maryland colored resident he given a presidential appointment. As deputy collector, Mr. Watty will hold the biggest job ever held by a colored man in the local internal revenue office. The year he was elected, a clerk in the office was regarded as an expert in internal revenue matters and help to put the machinery for the collection of the income tax into operation. Jeremiah Chester lives in the 5th Ward and is said to have deceived him by telling W. L. Gibson to succeed "Hop". Horner, white as ward executive. Rev. Charles B. Bishop is a minister in the Washington M. E. Conference, but is holding a supernumerary relation. Years ago such men as the late R. Rev. W. H. Weaver, John W. Martin; "Mahonygan Head" Jackson, Cousman Gaines, Hiram Watty and Isaac Myers held important positions in the Federal service, but with rise of the "illly-white" spirit colored leaders had little influence with the nurtive bosses. The "white" spirit has caused many colored voters to openly support Democratic candidates in recent elections. Kappa's In Cleveland Cleveland, O. Jan. 5—Kappa Alpha Phi, a college fraternity, held their eleventh annual session here last week.

I have given them beat a man then threw him in the cell to lie without medical attention for two or three days. Colonel Sweazy stopped all that and there have been no more heatings since he has had charge." "What sort of punishment does he use?" Williams was asked.

National Negro League I know that the fans all over the country are waiting to get my opinion colored impulses. They have matured waited for a numb of years. Have received hundreds of letters from fans on spouting of some of the great lore have written to me requesting me because I have not obtained colored impulses at events and have been reasonable in their desire, saying that I was the man could do it and that it was a crime that I did not give our people the privilege of umplifying the many stories that would have to be presented in order to place colored impulses in our League. The leading thinkers of the century today admit that it was cruel and an injustice for four million slaves, unmedated and ignorant, to be turned loose as a free people without safeguarding the necessary things in life for them, pre-gating and fitting them for the duties necessary as a citizen and a free people; these same conditions exist in colored baseball where colored umpires are concerned. Necessary Qualifications For An Empire To be an official unpire the first great step for the umpire is to study the disposition and temperament of each of the players with whom he comes in contact; to be a good judge of human nature, to know the baseball rules, their interpretation and to be honest and square. These qualifications are widely missing in the colored umpiers. I don't expect colored umplies to be able to interpret the technicalities of the rules based on the country, the players who have played under umplies who understand such rules and make plays according to the interpretation of such rules are called out to the game of the game in decision they cause in game, dispossess the fans and the people gradually stop coming to the ball games. Our fans have been led to believe we have decided on an umplier's binding on a club and whatever he says must be taken for granted that it is right. An umplier's powers are limited; only one supreme in decisions when rules he is no more than an ordinary spectator at the ball game, but in order to not disappoint the people who come to the park the club accepts the decision given against it and plays Herefore, no games could be protested, and time and time again games have been thrown away by the unjust decision of the unpierce. We have tried to prevent this, and instructed all our clubs to play a game against the unpierce of the unpierce's decision. If he made a decision against the rules, inform him that they are playing the game against protest. Notly the president of the League of the factions in the case, the decision was unpierce, the rules the game would be thrown out and ordered played over. This was done on several occasions, and when the decision was against the home club, the manager and his players would say that the decision was made against their club because they forced their club would have been, therefore it was expected. Responsibility Of Empires An ampie has more than the responsibility of the ball game on his hands; his actions are closely watched; he should not be swayed by the home chase fans; this is more true from the games in which he has seen them work. It is the duty of a captain or manager to protest any decision that he has made contempt with the playing rules. An ampie should tolerate such and be able to tell the captain or manager why he is wrong and explain it. When the ampie cannot do this then it is the duty of the captain or manager to protest vigorously and explain the rule to the ampie the ampie must to he fail. If the ampie will not do this, but instead will put the man out of the game, in many cases causing the manager or captain to withdraw club from the field or stir an argument. The result is a rotten game. Send in an account of how you spent your vacation. Price Free With Big Afro I have much much experience with colored umplies. The players and managers of the different teams come to town when I am coming to town to watch out for Foster, he is liable to trick him, that all of the umplies are colored, and that he always tries to show them up, also to show up the players. This is simply done because the players know I am familiar with the tricks and technicalities of the game, and I am familiar with such as to invigilate against a club for a violation of the rules and take advantage of their inexperience and gain a point. They can come to me and themselves against such a system they go to the manager or empire. Some of the managers know less than the players and they go to them to tell them what to do. I don't want to tell Foster come here and un any game for us." My first occasion where I have to speak of violation of the rules, the empties and the unaccepted me. I will illustrate to what happened with three empties in three different clubs. We were playing at St. Louis. I had received many complaints from the different clubs regarding the empties and the unaccepted me until we played St. Louis. I found the empting so pattern and deliberate I could hardly stand it. We beat the St. Louis Giants in Chicago and it was circulated all over town that we had robbed St. Louis of their money. Who is a very modest player and who no one has ever known to use profane language, gor a base on balls and on leaving the plate he said to the umpire, "Gee, I am lucky." The umpire went down to the state office of the state. This broke up the defense of our club. Later on in the game, he missed what the St. Louis catcher believed was a strike on one of the American Giants; the catcher turned ground, hit the umpire and shook him, but the umpire could not put him off the grounds. At Chicago before five times as many people than in St. Louis, Charleston came from center field and struck an umpire because he called a man safe at second base. The base umpire had ordered Charleston out of the game, but the umpire-in-chief came down to the base umpire and said to him, "Don't put him out of the game; let him remain in the game so he can see just what the Chicago people think of him" and he called Charleston back. Charleston was sorry, and from there he got to get in the good graces of the umpires and the public at large. (Continued next week.) CAPTAIN JOHNHS, full-back, whose consistent playing and splendid qualities made him Seminury's greatest leader. S BOYS AND GIRLS' AFRO FRIDAY, JAN. 6, 1922 S WATSON, left half-back, the best defensive back that has ever been on a Seminary team, and a consistent ground gainer. In a game that showed the superiority of the Baltimore Girls, the Washington Y. W. C. A. went down to defeat before the local Y. W. C.

There will be a gym exhibition there with another white team (hows) will measure strength against the boys of our race. SWASTIKA DEFFATS DETROIT 29 TO 25 Takes First Game Fordites Have Droped This Season Cleveland, O. Jan. 4-1 Last Monday night in one of the hottest baseball contests of the season, the Swastika Champs defeated the Detroit Big Five former, Detroit. This was the first game the Detroit quintet have dropped this season, but the superior passing and shooting of the Swastikas pulled nothing but defeat for the Champs. Willette was the outstanding star of the game, registering 19 of the Champs' 29. Hampton, the "boy under," countered by 17 to 5 at the end of the first half. Swastika felt positive of the final result, but they eked out without Wheeler. Time after time, this reducible athlete would tie up things in the final two remarkable kicks by Willette saved the day for Swastika.

Baltimore Girls Win --- --- THE AFRO-AMERICAN ATHENIANS ROUT WILBERFORCE, 33-26 Collegians Take Early Lead In Game But Overtaken In First Half After Dazzling Plays GAME MARRED BY SQUABBLE Frequent Disputes Over Decisions Lead To Un- sportsman-like Alterca- tions and Bad Feeling The local basketball fans who turned out at Richmond Market Armory Monday night in large numbers witnessed what might have been an excellent article of basketball but for unnecessary damage, Blue and Gray Machine took the floor against the Wilberforce University five. The visitors jumped into an early lead when Hudson, their center man, caged floor baskets in quick succession, and Hall put in a good one from the side. The locals, meantime, seemed to be dazzled by the spurt of the visitors and were unable to score more than 10 points in the substitution of Harris for Rich the Athletics "picked up," and aided by fuels called on the visitors boosted their points to 13 at the end of the first half, having the edge on the visitors by one point. Brown for the locals, but up a point, for the floor, seemingly, and caged two fine baskets and four fouls. The second stanza found the locals going like a whirlwind and making all kinds of difficult shots, and the locals making no less than twelve points in this half, and a total of 20 points for the entire game. The rough tactics on the rough tactics on the part of the visitors as well as some very sportsman-like conduct on the part of the home team occurred, and while out by the refuge unseen, the prize fight gives an unsavory odor to the game and unless checked by heavy penalties on the part of the official in charge will be disallowed, making them into disfavor among the fans. After a delay of nearly ten minutes while the visitors decided whether to continue playing or quit because of what they considered "raw" decisions by the referee and unlawful interference by a white player, all the games began. The game was continued, but it lacked the pen and spirit of the first half. The visitors saw themselves going down to defeat and made desperate efforts to retrieve but they were playing a losing game and the whistle on the short end of a 33-26 score. Line-up: Athleticus Witherforce Butler F. Fisher Brown F. Hall Rich C. Hudson Poles G. Banks Lake G. Banks Subsulties—Harris for Rich; McDonough for Hall. Timers—Thompkins and Scott. Scorers—Hammond and Young. Referee—Dobney. The refereeing of Dabney was shot the poorest seen on a local floor this season.

College And Western Champs Battle To Scoreless Tie On Muddy Field In the big football contest between Washington and Jefferson College, of Washington, Pa., and the University of California at Pasadena on last Monday the Eastern and western bull-dogs defeated the Cardinals, winning the contest. Particular interest in this game for colored Americans centered in the fact that Charles West, the star back of the Eastern college, is a colored lion. Elsewhere on this page is told by the Philadelphia Inquirer, something of the exploits of West during the past season, when he made the longest run for a touchdown of the year: 98 yards.

With only about ten seconds left to go in first round, the Referee had ordered the men to break from a clinch, when Tate, who was obeying the arbiter's instruction, was smushed on the floor by Wills.

Among the athletic achievements of national note during the last year, just missed a resume holder in the number of leading journals throughout the country, must be classed the gridiron work of Charles West, colored back on the Washington and Jefferson football team the past season. In extolling West's work on the gridiron, the Philadelphia Inquirer of Dec. 31, under a two-column layout, has included a profile of All-Around Man goes on in part as follows: When Charles West a Washington and Jefferson back, stepped off 98 yards for a touchdown after receiving a Syracuse throw in the game played in the Archbold Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 29, of the present year, turning in the longest journey of the year for a touchdown, where the "where did Presidents get a race horse like that?" "The great throng of Syracuse rooters sat stunned as the Wash-Jeff lad, worked his way down the field, and not until he had chased across the final chalk mark with his nearest pursuer far in his wake did thy rise to the occasion and give him aid the ovation he deserved. DEMPSEY WILLING TO FIGHT WILLS Waiting On Public Sentiment To Demand Match Says Champion's Man- ager HAS FOUGHT COLORED MEN Contenders According to a dispatch coming from Oakland, 'cal,' published in the daily papers throughout the country last week, Jack Kearns, manager of Jack Dempsey champion heavyweight boxer of the world says Dempsey is likely to decompose this night in a match with Harry Wills, the colored heavyweight and most formidable challenger of the champion, whenever public sentiment demands the match. These dispatches quotes the champion's manager in answer to the question: "Will Dempsey Fight Wills" as follows: "Jack Dempsey is and always will be a champion, and he will likely to defend his title at any time the public demands; but please do not constrain this as an effort on our part to cook up a fight with Wills. Of the present possible heavyweight contenders, Wills probably lays on us the best. But he is a black "Boxing in better than half of the larger States and cities is controlled by commissions which with great unanimity have ruled against him. He is not to be interpreted as indicating that public sentiment is against mixed matches." "Public sentiment for and against a match is the controlling factor. If the public wants a bout between Dempsey and Wills, it will indicate its desire. And you can say that Dempsey will be responsive to the public desire." After asserting that Dempsey had fought colored men before he became champion, Kerras is reported to have concluded as follows: "The matches are seeking the publicity by cooking up offers of matches. These offers will receive no attention from me. Whenever a reputable, financially able promoter of the type of Tex Richard begins to about a match, we will listen." Athenians Prepare For Western Invasion Every effort is being expended by the Athletics, in their preparation for the coming western trip. As all will remember, the team lost its six scores and won out of nine games played. This was a fine record, as this was the first time the team had made such an extensive tour. This year the team is at least 50 losses, although the loss of Tibbs, the lanky center, is very much felt. The Athletics will leave Baltimore on Tuesday, January 14th, visiting Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Colorado, Springfield, Worcester-Pauline, Louisville, Indianapolis, returning home on January 26th.

"True his comrades 'took out the opposing would-be tacklers until but one remained. West was the best, and then he to the goal for his score. Later Sraceuse tied the score, but the Presidents finally won by 17 to 14. The article then goes on to outline West's football history: "West was the first to win a product of the Washington High School, which has turned out so many championship teams recently. He played full-hack for the football seven and won plaudits for the first three women standing out as the best scholars' back in Western Pennsylvania, for several years. Then he entered Washington and Jefferson and tried for the national championship paracharyal school players. West did not shine so brightly in 1920 on a college squad. He had a habit of fumbling, but he was injected into many games and on occasions, distinguished himself. "As a football running back, he much resembles Jim Thorn. He runs at a fast speed, his ripping tactics through would-be tacklers, and his high knee action which frequently defensive players prostrate and maimed after attempts to get him" "This year he came into his own. Against Detroit. In the memorable game, the Presidents won 14 to 2. West cerried the initial kickoff back over 60 yards and almost got away. In the final game, he electrified the spectators by his work, and he is certain at some time to play against California. West is a track man as well as a football star. He holds the Western Pa. record for the quarter-mile and has won numerous one-aimed races throughout the community. He is an athletic fans in Washington and with members of his team: quiet and unassuming, and above all, one of the best students in the institu- PAGE EIGHT IN THE WORLD OF SPORT By W. E. R.

The choice is not The Triumphs Of Colored Athletes One of the peculiarities of the so-called race problem in this country, is that the Negro is forever kept on the defensive. That is to say, his every achievement, his every act, whether meritorious or otherwise, that attracts public attention, is thrown on the scales of racial equality which an overwhelming race prejudice has created in this country seeking to prove that the Negro when "weighed" is found "wearing." found "wanting". Thus, forced into this uncompromising position, it is easy for the unbused mind to understand the obtains seemingly excessive evaluation manifested by Xegres, when one of their number in some particular achievement which necessitates superior physical or mental skill, or a co-ordination of the two, triumphs over a competitor of the dominant player. In the first just close, two such opportunities for exaltation, have come athlete one was in the great feet of Need Gordon, the Harvard athlete who in the broad jump jumped through space for a 25 feet and 3 inches; the longest jump ever for a human being, and believed by many exalted and for many years if ever beaten, and the track star Carl Johnson, who won three national championships, a 14-mile, and cross-country. championships, namely, 5-10, 10-10, 10-10. Elsewhere on this page will be found an article called from the Philadelphia lumberman praising the work of Charles West, the colored football star of Washington and Jefferson College, who made the longest run for a touchdown of any grid performer the past season: 80 yards. 188 yards. It may or may not be of significance, that the Inquirer does not mention the fact that West is a colored lad; but recounts his grid exploits as a product of Washington (Pa.) High School and student offence College. of Jefferson Charter School. Prediction will come when the trumph of a Gourdin over the most athletic that the world can produce will be regarded by Negroes solely as the trumph of America, when the track coach an Karl Johnson will be the particular trumph of a professional club of the Anunctuary Athletic Union; when a Negro will not paching of the skillful football exploits of a gridiron warrior, will not wish to know whether he is white or black, but until now arrives, the triumphs of members of the Negro race, the white competitors in such notable events as use forth above, must bring a significant thrill of pride and to move Negro breast. The choice is not of their own making.

Elsewhere on this page will be found statements attributed to Jack Kearns, a member of Demoiselle concerning the possibility of a match parsers, according to these statements, is of the opinion that public sentiment is against this match, citing as proof, the fact that a number of State boxing commissions have ruled against mixed matches. Of course the fact that the boxing commission of New York State, the mecca of Statiun, has let down the bars against matches for the first time in years, means not only Kearns; and the further fact not understanding that one promoter named by Mr. Kearns whose base is considering for such a match, concludes in the Empire State. Of course this attempt by the manager to "muddy the water" will not nobody but the most unsophisticated. However, since he has raised the question of public sentiment, we may be pardoned for reminding him, in passing, that it may he just possible, that in appering to public sentiment, he is taking too much for granted, to wit. His chapson is not the popular hero that he apparently supposes; principally because of the unsavory charges that were brought against him in connection with the draft during the late war. True, he was cleared of the charges, but the stench of this sort of thing has a way of lingering long in the nostrils of the public, and the more prominent or wealthy the accused, the longer it lingers. Mr. Keasan may not be aware of the fact, but there were thousands of Americans—and who didn't belong to the American Legion—who wanted to see Carpenter defeat Dempsey as the result of this accusation. And there are thousands of them today, who, while ordinarily opposing mixed matches, would like to see the championship laurels snatched from Dempsey's brow, even by Wills, as the result of this accusation. Dempsey Shy Of Wills al truth of the matter is, that Dempsey and of Will's game as long as they can avoid it is evidenced by an article written by his last Sunday's New York American, in which Wills has disqualified himself as a cha- by reason of the fact that Bill Tate, whom he has little more than size to recommend in rounds, as further, that Tate was his sparring part, the softer thing he ever knew to knock away carried away was Mr. Dempsey in pointi- proof of his superiority over the ducky chie- proof to mention that something like a year a The real truth of the matter is, that Dempsey and Kearns don't want any of Wills's game as long as they can avoid it. Additional proof of this is evidenced by an article written by Dempsey and published in last Sunday's New York American, in which the champion declares that Wills has disqualified himself as a challenger worth considering by reason of the fact that Bill Tate, whom the champion goes on to say has little more than size to recommend him, skid with Wills for ten rounds. And adds further, that Tate was his sparing partner for a long time, and the thing he ever knew to knock over board. Of course, the thing away was Mr. Dempsey in pointing out this as a probable proof of his superiority over the duke challenger, that he clearly forgot to mention that something like a year ago the boxing sharp of the country were unanimously of the opinion that the one man in the world who stood a chance to defeat the title holder, was Fred. Fulton, but in order to make his claim honourable beyond the shadow of a doubt, it might be expedient to have him remove Harry. Wills out of the way. That the match between Fulton and Wills was made and these same sharps then proceeded to tell the world just how easily Fulton was going to whip the dark boy. That when they met, the dark boy made a "monkey" of the honourable man, then sent him to dreamland. He likewise forgot to mention that when he took three or four months, Wills has met Gunboat Smith and Denver Ed. Martin, both of whom he knocked out in less than two rounds. Pointing out reasons why they should not fight Wills is the privilege of Messes, Dempsey and Kearns, but until Harry Wills is defeated, he stands first in line for a chance at the championship crown. And unless we miss our guess, these "Dodge Brothers" will find public sentiment just as annoying in their attempt to wriggle out of this match as it proved to be concerning their war activities.

JAN. 6, 1922 Afro's Serial Love Story Of Negro Life Afro's Serial Love Story Of Negro Life By PARKZ REED (Protected by the Kelley News paper Feature Service) SYNOPSIS Christopher Bowling, an unsophisticated Harvard student known to his classmates as the Virgin, meets Beatrix Marley, a beautiful colored girl of Boston and accompanies her home. Her beauty overwhelms him and he takes her unawares with a kiss; for which he is invited away from the house. FIFTH CHAPTER "The next morning as the Virgin was about to go to a lecture the porter of the dormitory met him in the corridor. "Mr. Bowling." said the porter, "there's a lady on the phone, askin for you, says she's got to take me." The Virgin rushed to the telephone and called. "Hello, hello." "Good-morning, Mister Virgin." said a musical voice. The Virgin's heart began to pump; he knew that voice as he knew no other. He could almost see the face at the other end of the apple-round checks, the rose-fed lips at the transmitter along the wire to his own. A sudden warmth came over his body, delightful, weakening, seductive, his hand trembled as he held the receiver. He ground his teeth, and tried to pull himself together. This is weakness," he said to himself. "Hello," repeated the voice. "Are you there?" "Yes," he said, clenching his free hand to control himself. "And you know my voice?" "X-no." he managed to say. "Oh." he said the voice with a new dignity, "then you are nothing more to Good-bye." "Wait anonment!" said the Virgin before he could check himself. "Give me a chance to guess." "You should known who I am." "Is the voice with a touch of woe." I addressed you as Mister Egin. How many ladies you know? "My you know and you know it." Or did I too quickly be other ladies in Boston? I rather except untruths from other men, but I never dreamed that you could tell one. "I thought you were angry with me," he said hastily, with rage. "He said mistaking the spell of the voice." "You know you said I was not a gentleman." "Oh," said Bextris Marley, "so you know my voice after all. Why did you say you didn't? Never mind am-wering." she added with a laugh. "I know why. It is because you were apposed to me for telling them." The Virgin thrilled all over. "But listen," she continued, and he could all but see her pouting. "why haven't I heard from you? It's two weeks since Bloody Monday and you haven't come near me. I finally had to telephone to see if you were all right. You might have written or something to ask if I had fully recovered. Shake shake." "But you told me," said the Virgin, innocently mystified, "You told me I wasn't a gentleman and you didn't wish to see me any more." "Oh, did I?" Well, you were a very bad little boy, you know. And no other boy had been that bad. I was really angry. I assigned you and I am still, when I think of it. In the proof of which she was calling him up on the telephone. But the Virgin, who knew nothing about women, was blind to the inconsistency of that. He actually burned with shame. "But you forgive me, don't you? I had never done anything like that," she wondered, so dazzling, so irresistible I--I did it before I knew it. Forgive me, won't you. "Well," she said, "as if carefully considering it. 'Till think it over and tell you when I see you again. When will that be?'" He hesitated. "Duck, boy, duck, it's coming your way," said a warning voice within him. "Why, I don't know," he said, "you know I'm a busy man. My studies." "Studies, studies studies. That is the excuse you college boys always give when you don't want to do a thing." 'But I really want to, only I...' 'If you want to you will. I must stop now. I will. I must stop napping with her. I will be at home tomorrow night; come or not, as you wish. But you will come, won't you? Good by Chris.' --- The Virgin did his best the next day. He marshalled a hundred reasons for not calling on Beatrix Marley. It was fatal to his work. it had ruined many good fellows. it might turn out to be his iron altar, and so forth. He could not call the reply "Chris" coming in a rich contrato from the loveliest lips in Boston. The result was never in doubt. At sight of clock in the evening-Mr. Christopher Bowling rang the bell at the home of Miss Beatrix Marley. She opened the door and his heart vaulted at the sight of her. She was dressed off her black hair and peach-colored face, and when she moved the dress waved and folded and unfolded like something alive. "Ah, you did, come, didn't you?" she said, in a tone that was a kiss in itself, and her eyes met his with MADAM Emma Perry Wallace Poro Beauty Parlor AGENT FOR PORO Hair Culture and Facial Massage We specialize on short and stub- horn hair.

"Oh, you could have plenty of company," said the Virgin. "Not this evening," she said with a side-long smile. "I took a leaf out of your book and told some little wippers so that if you should come we could have the evening to ourselves." The Virgin had not yet sat down, and at the word "ourselves," he moved, unconsciously nearer to her. "We had best be seated," she said, as if to ward him off; then she added regally; and I must have been from you. You are a terrible young man. Mr. Virgin, and I must keep a way of retreat open this time. "Oh, don't say that," he begged penitently, taking a chair. "Haven't you forgiven me yet." "I tell you later," she laughed, taking a seat on the floor. "You are both ill night," the air was dewy in her. She waved the compliment away with a laugh and an undulant motion of her hands. The Virgin's heart began to swell unbearable. Every move and sweep of her eyelashes seemed to brush his face, every glance made his nerves tremble. She looked at him pensively, leaning on her arm at the end of the table. She said, "I've always wished to know you. Deep in my heart I've thought---well--, I'd like to know you." "There's nothing much no know," he said modestly, "nothing that you'd be interested." That was the way she replied, "You're far more interesting than you think you are." "Oh, how delightful" she exclaimed. "I wonder if you could read my palm. No? Ah, but you should try." she said, extending her hand. "My Virgin crossed the room, she moved a pillow on the sofa, and he sat down beside her. She placed her palm in his. "I just know you can read me," she said, looking up at him with her head to one side. "And you must read me something else. It would be awful for a great big man like you to read something like her girl." The Virgin held that soft hand in his, he looked at her, Beatrix, so close to him, and trembled. She bent over her palm, her hair swept his cheek. The blood came toaming into the Virgin's head, gripped her palm, both palms. She raised her face with a startled look. "No, no, you must not... Mr. Bowling, Mr. Bowling, you forget." He released her hand. He felt he was choking. "Beatrix, Beatrix, you know I can't help it." he said, his voice "Aa-ah," she said, waving her finger in his face, you said you were never, never going to do anything like that again. She tapped him lightly on the lips, and the Virgin was off again. Tell you love. Love you. Love you. He said hourly: "Beatrix, Beatrix." "No, no," she breathed, "you forget yourself. I told you once you said--ah, Virgin, Virgin." As she spoke his name she raised her wide eyes. He forgot her arms with broken talk; he raised her face with his hand: her lips were near his; he kissed her again and again. He lifted her, and with one low cry she threw her arms around him and gave him kiss for loss. Simply the Virgin felt a hard grip on his neck and a thunderous voice crashed into his ears. Beatrix leaped out of his arms with a scream. "Father."

PLANS DAMAGE SUIT Declares It Is Injured By Advertisements Of Columbia Graphaphone Company New York, Jan. 4.—Announcement that the attorneys for the makers of the Black Swan Records have in preparation a damage suit against the Columbia Graphiphone Company was made here this week. Among the latest campaigns to be inaugurated is a series of advertisements in which it is claimed that the artists have contracted to the Face Photograph Corporation are being claimed by the Columbia among their exclusive artists. The singer in question is Carroll Clark, who has been with the Place Phonograph Corporation since his beginning and two "of whose records had already been released on Black Swan. Mr. Clark at one time made a record or so for the earliest of his recordings, and he noticed to his recording. In releasing it, instead of publishing his picture as is usual, they printed a picture of a "Southern Scene," so Mr. Clark states. He became dissatisfied over the matter and was among the earliest applicants to the publicity given by Mr. Place to the publicity given by Mr. Place to Mr. Clark who had signed an exclusive contract with Mr. Place and after thousands of his pictures had been printed and distributed by Black Swan, the Columbia resurrected these old records and are now announcing Clark as an individual artist whose singles can be heard only on Columbia Records. In view of the fact that a new record by Mr. Clark, "Swing Low, Sweet Charlot," and "One Sweetly Solomon Thought" was released January 1st on Black Swan Records, Mr. Place is advised by his attorneys that the campaign of the Columbia is calculated to damage the sale of the Black Swan Record of Mr. Clark's and suit for damages is being prepared accordingly.

THEATRE MOGULS NOW IN SESSION Theater Owners Booking Association Discuss Control Of Vaudeville OUR THEATERS CONCERNED 'Batimuoga, Tenn., Jan. 4.—to regular annual meeting of the stockholders of the Theater Owners' Booking Association, the organization which practically dominates the field of Negro theatricals, will be held here on January 4.5, and 6. Open dissatisfaction among the members of the association as to its present method of operation will, it is believed, lead to a stormy three-day session. This is the first meeting of the stockholders since the absorption of the Southern Consolidated Circus Company, who carried the field. The truce which marked the cessation of almost a year's hostilities among the Negro theatre managers was effected last June, when the Consolidated surrendered its charter and turned over the houses under its control to the Theater Owners' Booking Association. This arrangement is said to have included the placing of certain Consolidated officials on salary and to have compelled the retirement of others from activities in the field. An effort to place certain of these officials in control of the T. O. E. A. will be made it is believed, at The T. O. E. A. Circuit includes only a hundred houses and extensions from Philadelphia to San Antonio, Tex. and from Chicago to Tampa, Fla. About fifty per cent of these theaters have a seating capacity of over a thousand. All cater to Negro patronage exclusively. Thirty-one theater owners are stockholders in the circuit and about seventy-five more hold booking franchises. A large number of the latter have either closed their offices or been acquired and a policy of independent booking. The present officers of the association are Milton Starr, Bijon Theater, Nashville. president: Charles Turpin, Booker T. Wash- ington Theater, St. Louis, vicepresident; Wm. Scales, Lafayette Theater, Winston-Salem, N. C. secretary; Sam. E. Reevin, Liberty Theater, Chattanooga, Tenn. treasurer and general manager, of H. H. Reeving, of Macon Ga.; Clarence Bennett, of New Orleans, and H. J. Hury, of Birmingham, constitute the Board of Directors. S. H. Dudley, operator of a chain of houses in Washington, D. C., and vicinity, is the Eastern booking manager, and John T. Gibson, of Philadelphia, is special representative. The incoln, Regent and Sun Theaters of Baltimore are members of the T. O. B. A. Auspicious Opening For "Mutt And Jeff" Conolys Colored Comedians, presenting the cartoon play of "Mutt and Jeff" made their initial appearance to stand-up audience on Xmas day att the Lafayette Theater, N. Y. Conolys Corollay and Mr. Gus Hill cover of the title have certainly prepared a fully equipped attraction. While the show was a bit draggy at times, as is usual in first performance, there was no defect that will not naturally smooth out as the actors become more familiar with their work. Lillian and Joe Russell were the outstanding performers in the piece, their bits actually stopping the show. Margurite Lee and Henry Sapara did a cabaret bit that went big, as did the Jug band number. Tausha A. Hammed, as Jeff was well selected. There is no reason why this show should not furnish a very complete evenings entertainment for either colored or white audiences. In the 23 song numbers and specialties that willickle any fancy. Frank Montgomery staged the show, Mr. Wm. Carroll being producing director. The company include 9 principals and a chorus of 18 people with a staff of 4 and working force of 5 members. It is intended for white theatres. Close In Durham, N. C.

STUART-YOUNG Opus 82 of the late Samuel Cotteridge-Taylor—the Suite of Ballet Music which covers Hiawatha's Wooing, the Marriage Feast, the Bird Scene, the Conjurer's Dance, etc—is still a strong European and American favourite. It is great pity that our bands on the Coast do not show up on enterprise. It is high time that they sweep the obnivious "Missouri" and stimulating though Mr. Logan's music may be and the ridiculous "Wild. Wild Women," in favour of genuine African Music. Messrs. Hawkes and Sons have just made a new issue of "Hia- MR. AND MRS. COL "India." They would gladly supply, on the cheapest trade terms, all our West African bands. Several friends have asked me for details of the most brilliant musical genius Colidge-Taylor. Specifically, you must imagine neatly negroid mouth and the typically wide noses. There was the semi-kinky which characterizes children *n* a misegender union. *A* you will need to add an Accus- sion, weed out an aesthetic and tiny brown eyes, and a quiet- ness and somewhat melancholy smile. That was Coleidge- lor as I knew him in London a en years ago. His story is full of Romance, few brief seasons ago (as we mortals count time there was won't to play in the streets of boydon a tiny dark-skinned and zzy-haired kiddie, along with her grubby little orchins, who assessed perfectly white skins, witt little "Conly" Taylor (as he is named) found three white companions distinctly dull. They would not indulge in long quiet hours of dreading. He much referred to be alone, sitting on the edge of the curb, with his little feet in the roadway, and his big brown eyes fixed upon vacancy. He possessed a tiny violin; one of p the variety known as a Kit. So he could be seen. In fine weather, holding the treasured diddle in his left hand, while with the right he played a solitary game of marbles. The circumstances that sur- rounded his birth are of a kind with which the West Coast of Africa is familiar. A few years before, a Nekro of Sierra Leone begone to England. He was to study as a doctor; and he certainly did pass several preliminary examinations. But the winters used him very severely. Still, he wished ardently to succeed. He mated with a white girl. The two young people settled down to work up some room of a medical practice. Their affairs did not prosper with sleep. The young Negro was constant in tilling. He had the average West African's intense nostalgia for the sway of the palms, the deep-blue of the tropical sea, the soothing somnolence of a life spent under an ardent sun. So, when little "Cotty" was born, he took the casest and the speeded way to it. With many premises, and earnest protestations that everything would turn out for his best deserved white hair, he raised his half-caste son behind, he returned to the Coast. Hence- THE MUSICIAN orth Mrs. Taylor was dependent upon the generosity of a carrier, Mr. Holman, and his wife. They lived in Theobald's Road, Holborn. Mrs. Holman took a fancy to the aby-boy. When she and her husband moved from Holborn to Croydon, she coaxed him into allowing the widow (sic) and son to form part of the new household. Now Taylor had all the Negro lives for both literature and art, and must have been some sort of a prophetic instinct which made him name his son Samuel 'Cobleridge' after the great poet who wrote "Rose Ayrham." When little Sammy (or Cobler) first showed musical talent, we may be sure that the violin was the symbol of a mother's lurking affection for the coloured lover, who had "kiss'd and run away." And when at last the little half-caste boy was seen by Mr. LEMDGE TATLOR Joseph Beckwith, a violin-teacher and pianist of Waddon New Road, Croydon, and when Mr. Beckwith began to patronise him, and to give him a sound foundation in musical technique, we may be equally sure that no one, rejoiced as much as that poor mother. She had married again by this time tone of her own colour and was settled down to respectability. The little band hipses indicated by the story already related need be emphasised, in view of her deep affection for the Negro, and her subsequent care of the child of that union. The world owes to that miscegenetic alliance the Colonel Waters was choir master at the Croydon, Presbyterian Church. He took the lid under his wing. In addition to caring for him specially in the choir, he gave him private lessons plus carrying forward the good work of Mr. Beckwith. At fifteen, Samuel left school. Colonel Waters decided upon the Royal College of Music for his protege. He had great faith in the bad genius, and in the spiritual urge that broke forth in his voice, when he sang the old Negro songs of the Southern Stages of America. The boy was particularly fond of "Kentucky Home," "Swanage River" and "Poor Old Joe." Sir Charles Villiers Stanford took immense paints with this new pupil, so strangely different from the usual attendant at the Royal College of Music. Coully was eager, quick, enthusiastic. Sir Charles was patient, exacting, and thoroughly painstaking. Literally speaking everything in the kid's life seemed to turn to music. He composed with the facility that the average school boy will perform a sum in choral arithmetic. Longtime class "Wiwatha" had been a favorite poetry lesson in the English class at school. "Oaty" had memorised a great proportion of it. Who can wonder at musical articulation should be made through the medium of that great Epic Poem of the Red Indian race? "The Wedding Feast" was the first subject that young Coleridge Taylor chose to interpret. When it was heard at the Royal College of Music, it carried the audience before it. From an unknown musical student, this half-caste Negro had become a composer of proven skill and power. Before long the work had swept through the Unit- Over in America, the success of "Hinayathi" was a perfect cyclone. It revealed a most incongruous artistic melange. Let me explain. Longfellow had gone to Finland for the basis of his Epic, and the "Kallevai" is the basic texture of his longest work. Longfellow was intimate with several Semindinaevians, and he delighted to explore Icelandic, Finnish, Danish, Swedish and Norwegian Myth and Legend. So, into this altogether alien fabric the American poet had woven all the Red Indian Legends that he could collect on American soil. Then along had come a young and earnest Negro, born of an English mother, brought up in purely "classified" style but (despite that British bias toward established musical custom!) with deep West African ancestral memories. Blood is invariably thicker than water. Into his music Samuel Collertidge-Taylor had of necessity to infuse the gobbling and tabuistic West African Folk Song. He filled all these divergent Saxon negroid, Red Indian—was that wide and mighty stream of music which we know to day as "Mimosa." "Essentially, to my mind, 'Hiawatha' is negroid. That brilliant young half-caste, working away in dingy suburb of London, had all the barbary splendour and the wild untamed last for Colour, Beauty and Rhythm which the most uncultured West African Negro carries in his very blood. One need only sit before the key-board and analyse any part of these fascinating scores. That strange handling of chords; those sudden dissonances that meet unexpectedly into the most perfect of harmonies; those unusually vivid versals; the uneven phrase on new air of suspension—all they are perfectly negroid in form. Nobody, who is familiar with West African "tricks" of melody and the West Coast can listen to a composition by *Olederidge Taylor* without exclaiming involuntarily "How perfectly tropical!" The incomplete downward scales are a favorite feature of Gold coast metallo. Just try the downward run of Doh, Te, Ash, Soh, repeat the pattern until the last stone becomes natural—and there you will have one of the simplest and yet most popular Acra Native Dances.

Epps, of Gott Station, on December 25, has been solved by the confession of Harry Conegys, who occupied a room with Epps, that he took a shotgun and fired the load into the man's breast while he was asleep. Thirty-two shot and several pieces of lead were removed from his breast by the doctor. Conegys, is said to have broken down and confessed to States' Attorney Park Friday night when he was shown 'the dead man's hurt. He told Attorney Beck, he could give no reason for the dead and added he must have been crazy. Just before the two men went to bed he shared some catched with Epps, he said. The general impression among the colored residents is that Cougays thought Epps had money as he had talked of going on an expensive trip, the fare for which was $190. Only $1.40 was found after the murder. He was a brother of one murderer Dr. Heigle Hill, near Wilmington, in 1895. He is about 37 years old.

This is the kind of weather that takes the old coal pile down. The Ku Klux Klan is an awful enemy of colored people. Jews and Catholics. Samuel Herz, a co-founder by a Florida masked mob after he had shot one of them was not colored so he must have been a Jew or a Catholic. Only the English-speaking white people are indifferent or hostile to colored races. Mr. L. M. Hershaw told the Negro Academy in Washington, last week. Another argument for putting foreign languages in the grammar schools. Naval Academy officials are figuring how to dismantle the colored candidate who took the examination last week for appointment as public man by Colonel John Phillip Hill. So far we have never had an African-colored graduate Why Not? The Los Angeles Times (white) of which Noah D. Thomson is an editorial writer, suggests a way for the Gabriel, California High School to get around the recent appointment of a Japanese girl as classmate at the coming commencement. The Japanese girl leads the class in scholarship, but the white pupils threaten to absent themselves in a body unless the award is withdrawn. The Times suggests the adoption of the following provision: PROVIDED THAT IF THE SCHOLARSHIP OF WHITE STUDENTS FALLS BELOW THAT OF ANY JAPANESE, CHINESE, NEGRO OR INDIAN, THE SECOND BEST RATING SHALL BE SUBSTITUTED FOR THE BEST, AS SHOWN BY THE RECORDS. A courteous person is sometimes mistakenly that to be soft. A. Today is your opportunity, to tomorrow is your neighbor's. The best way to start saving is to spend less than you earn.

Which accounts for the success of the junk business. The Federal authorities rescued a white man from peonage in Georgia recently. Slavery dies a hard death in the cracker state. A HAPPY AND PROS- PEROUS NEW YEAR In sending this message of greeting to our readers and patrons, we wish to do more than send you a perfunctory message of cheer or a stereotyped set of phrases. Nineteen-twenty-one has not been all that we might have wished, in fact, it brought with it hopes which turned to dissatisfaction in the political world. In the financial world, added to the lack of employment, came a partial financial wreck in the failure of two or more of our banking institutions. These, however, are more incidents that come in the life of a race, and are really indicative of its upward strivings; for if we had attempted nothing there would have been no room for failure. It was because we have attempted something, too much perhaps. The fault lies not in the failure, but in not preparing as fully as we might have for the duties and responsibilities lying before us. In entering the New Year, let us not look behind and behoan our failures, but look ahead surviving mightily to make the future stronger, brighter and happier. We must not lose hope; we must not be a race of cowards, but like brave men and women, looking the future in the face, place our trust in Almighty God, and determine we will win. Above all, we would not have our business men discouraged. We need all we have at present and more. We need them in every line of business endeavor, the more, the better. Let us, as far as possible, turn our money over among our own business men. We must make room for our boys and girls, coming out of the schools in other lines than that of hewers of wood and drawers of water. Let us, to the fullest extent, patronize our own business enterprises, thus enabling them to grow and prosper. We must not be calamity howlers, but putting on a hold front strike out for the goal and prove that we are not chronic grumblers, but determined winners. Some of us will fail, of course we will. Is it not true of the dominant race, with years of experience behind them and golden opportunities in front of them? The same will be true of us. But failure only spells effort made with the opportunity to try again. And so we send this message of hope and cheer that 1922 will bring with it, not only greater effort, but greater success to all who have the true spirit of optimism. A happy and prosperous New Year. Mr. Tait's Appointments Following directly upon the heels of the letter to President Harding signed by Senators France, Weller, and other leading white Republicans of the State came the announcement of Internal Revenue Collector Galen L. Tait, that he had appointed Mr. George Watty and four other colored men to positions in his department. In the letter to the President, State Republicans declared themselves "deeply concerned to secure recognition for -colored Republicans of Maryland by Presidential appointment to Federal office," and was clearly designed to call the President's attention to the fact that positions like the Recorder of Deeds, Register of the Treasury and Fourth Auditor of the Navy, held in other administrations by colored men might be filled by the appointment of Marylanders. For one of these positions Recorder; of Deeds, President Harding nominated a Georgian Henry Lincoln Johnson, whom the Senate refused to confirm. Why bother about Georgia or any other Southern State the letter infers when "Maryland is the only Southern state with a well organized Republican party," and when the "cheerful and loyal adherence, of the colored group is essential to its maintenance and progress." It continues: "There are 90,000 colored Republicans of both sexes registered in Maryland—approximately 40 per cent of the total Republican registration." The President's reply to this letter has not been made public, but it must have been to the effect that the problem of political recognition might well be solved by the Maryland Republican leaders themselves, and thus by giving some of the State offices at their disposal to colored voters. Perhaps this accounts for the fact that Mr. Tait, who is also chairman of the State Republican Committee set the example himself and included five colored men in his list of thirty odd appointments. Incidentally the Internal Revenue Department will have more colored employees than ever before. If the other Republican leaders will follow Mr. Tait's example, and realize that if colored people are to deliver CHEERFULLY forty per cent of the State's Republican vote, they are to get SOMP per cent of the Republican offices, they will then have taken steps to placate the disaffection now existing among the rank and file of colored voters. The World On Lynching The New York World, to use a figure of speech, gave a good bucket of milk in exposing the Ku Klux Klan and now proceeds to kick the bucket over by opposing the passage of the anti-lynching bill. The inference is that the World opposed Ku Kluxism because the Klan practices its violence upon Jews and Catholics and wants no anti-lynching measure passed by Congress because it will benefit colored people most. To use another figure, the World kicked against Ku Klux, because the World's own ox was gored. Says the World this week, the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill will antagonize local sentiment in the South. Congress has not the constitutional authority to pass the bill, and furthermore lynchings are on the decrease, indicating that the South itself will stop lynching in time. The World was willing to antagonize Germany by going to war to stop the submarines from sinking ships with Americans on board, and willing to antagonize the Spaniards by going to war to stop the massacre of Spaniards in Cuba, but it is not willing to stop the Southern Huns and bandits who last year lynched sixty-four men and women, black Americans. The World's memory is short or it would recall that these same Southerners, white of face like the World, have lynched more American citizens than the Germans and the Spaniards killed altogether in both wars. If the Dyer Bill is unconstitutional, the World ought to know that we have a Supreme Court for the very purpose of passing upon this phase of the matter, and that it is common sense to know that any body which can pass laws keeping its citizens from TAKING A DRINK, can also pass such laws as WILL PREVENT THE SAME CITIZENS FROM BEING LYNCHED. PICKENS ON DISARMAMENT Associated Negro Press "Whom will he be mind up by disclosing Washington? Persian Gulf Liberia, China, Germany, and such like "Independent" nations. There also seems to be a great desire on the part of the white nations to disarm Japan. We are not defending the Japanese, we are simply sating a very plain truth. The Japanese seem to be capable of looking out for themselves. They hardly need our favorable opinion, but what the Sao Hill is the need of talking about the thing at all unless we are willing to speak the TRUTH. England is second in desire only to the United States for seeing Japan disarmed. Even our good friend H. G. Wells shares in this great white consciousness. We think it instinctive; for Japan the first real threat against the white colonies of the world is the keys of the Alhambra since handed over. "If you notice closely you will see a great desire on the part of certain other nations to convince poor China that the whites are her best friends and Japan her greatest risk. Perfect understanding between China and Japan, followed by friendship and co-operation, would be the beginning of the end of European exploitation of Asia, and also the end of a one-color domination of this little nation. "Just notice the hyphrocrites! They say that the Chinese are so much more civilized and a so much more civilized and a so much better people than those a so much static Japanese. We don't treat the white nation, not treat Chinese better? Why did they not invite them to be an equal at the conference? They invited Japan and there are ten times as many Chinese in China as Japanese in Japan. Even Wells tells the sad story of how we have made the mistake the past of clausing the white Chinese as the race. He tells us if we have now discovered our mistake and decided to correct it How? Will England get out of China, will France, will any of them? No. They are leaving it to each nation to "decide for itself" even about closing the post offices in their soil. If each nation is left to "decide for itself" about Chinese sovereignty, after this conference China will be exactly where China was before this conference,—perhaps a bit worse off because of these political agreements against her. Before the conference, each nation had the privilege of sitting out its own in China, but without the indirect sanction of a formal conference of the others. POLK COUNTY. WORST IN TEXAS Barbary still exists in the prison camps of Texas. You cringe when you read of the savages of the South Sea Islands. You fall into the hands of those wild people make you shudder. But if you saw Albert Mitchell 30, and heard the story of how it was tortured by county officers a Livingston, Texas, you would prefer to take your business to the courthouse. At the mercy of Bolly County officials. Mitchell is just a plain hardworking Negro. Saturday, his eyes were swollen, his head and face battered, his teeth knocked out and his ear bitten off. He presents the most pathetic figure ever seen in Houston in human form. He's just a poor, ignorant fellow, confessed the white friends who defended him. Maybe he knows why he made the victim of the brutality of grown up white men. They claimed him to a tree and beat him with six-shooters and clubs and kicked his teeth out and hit his ear off. Are they better than the slimiest snake that crawls? Are they, really? What Polk County officials did to this Negro approaches cannibalism, Mitchell confessed that a deputy sheriff there hit his car and nibbals of the South Sea Islands kill and carve their human victims on them. They start to chewing on them. Two other white men beat him, also. They were convict guards at Corrigan convict camp.

BOOK CHAT By MARY WHITE Chairman of the Board of Directors the Advancement of "PEACE IN FRIEN BRY WHITE OYINGTON of Directors of the National Association for Amendment of Colored People FRIENDSHIP VILLAGE" The MacMillan Company, New York City. Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People "PEACE IN FRIENDSHIP VILLAGE" By Zonna Gale. Publishers The MacMillan Company, New York City. Price. $2.25 Including Postage. Recently I wrote of "The Brimming Cup" and of Dorothy Canfield's deep sympathy with the Negro. Since then I have run across a volume of short stories and find that Zonna Gale, another of our most popular novelists, has struck almost the same note. Zonna Gale is one of America's best known story writers, "Miss Lulu Bett," her latest novel had a phenomenal success both as a novel and play. Perhaps she is best known, however, by her series of stories centering about "Friendship Village." "Friendship Village" is "no" "Main Street" but describes a kindly pleasant community with Calope, (what a name for an elderly spinster) the most friendly of its inhabitants, occupying a central place. And it is the volume entitled "Peace in Friendship Village" where we learn of what the village folk did after the war for their foreign population, for the Greek, the Pole, the Shay, that tucked in the middle of the book we have a story entitled "Dream" that sounds like a note on the Negro question. It begins with Callope's visiting her friend Mis' Sykes and both of them noticing that Old Moxon House has been rented. They must be pretty fine people, they argue, to be able to pay the rent of twenty dollars. They watch and see the goods arrive in a van - a piano, comfortab-looking furniture. It is then that Mis' Sykes declares "Whoever it will be is a distinct addition to Friendship Village Society." They learn that their new neighbor's name is Burton Fernandis, a m ost aristocratic appellation, and Mis' Sykes decides that and is a most aristocratic appellation, and Mis' Sykes decides that as the newcomers are moving in Friday they will get up to party for Saturday night. When Callope suggests that Mis' Sykes is perhaps too sure regarding the newcomers, Mis' Sykes declares "Folkses individualism is expressed in follow's furniture. You can't tell me that, with those belongings, we can go wrong in our judgment." "Well," Callope says "can't go wrong because I can't think of anything that makes me give them the cold shoulder. That's another condition about being friends to everybody—you don't have to decide which one you want to know." "You're so queer, says Mis' Sykes, tolerant. "You miss all the satisfaction of being excused, and you can't afford not to be." "Mebbe not," Callope says. Mebbe not, but I am willing to it, hang the expense. On the day the newcomers arrive Caliope finds that her lynchin bulbs need repotting, and she carries a pot to the new neighbor. She is ushered into a beautiful room filled with books and pictures and meets her hostess, a lovely lady. This is Caliope's description of her. "I gave her the flower and I don't believe I looked surprised any more than when I first saw the picture of her. The artists had painted their skins down to the floor. Fernandine's face people had not come from Asia but familiar faces." Caliope sits down to chat and learns of the daughter is at Chicago University and of the son who is returning from France where he has received the Cross or War. With story she faces Ms Sykes and wants to know her decision regarding the surprise party. who is at Chicago University and of the son who is returning from France where he has received the Cross of War. With story she faces Ms' Sykes and wants to know her decision regarding the surprise party. But I won't tell more of the story. You must read it yourself and learn how it turns out. in the room. I wondered, as I read it, what the reaction has been on the part of Miss Gale's many admirers who have read this exquisite "Dream." For the flogging, he was taken to the woods Tuesday night. He had previously been beaten, Saturday he confessed, and when they tried to haggle him for a second beating he resisted and then white, "Boss Holiday bit his car off." "I had a gold tooth in front," confessed Mitchell. One of them said "That tooth's too good for you," and kicked it out of my room. The man's mutilated face tells more than his ignorant tongue. If you see him, you couldn't help believe his tried report. Following the beating Mitchell was taken back to the camp and was unable to walk for two days. The guards told him when he was able to go, to leave, and not tell anybody, or they would kill him. "A woman said I stole her skirt, did it,"敲它 it. The officers carried him to a justice and said: "This is the nigger that stole that woman's skirt. What shall we do with him?" "The judge said. "I'll give him $5 and costs. Do you think that's enough nigger?" He said it all amounted to $34 or $40 and it I'd pay, they'd tell me off." He said, judge, I had no right to justify "niggery." He said: "Well, if we try you, we'll send you o the 'been' for about five years." That's the way the white "boss" tries them in Polk county.

Officer Pinckney was arrested on the charge of bigamy, but was released after explaining that he married wife number two, believing that wife number one was dead.

My New Year's greeting to eleven million American Negroes: A ten years economic saving: First: We as a distinct race must have a nest egg in the way of money, or we will be put out of business altogether. Second: A ten years savings will put us on the market for real business. Third: How can we best do this? Fourth: By reducing the following things: Clothing, jewelry, shows of all kinds, bumperls, dinners, Atlantic City boardwalks, excursions, automobiles and businesses or giving costly presents, costly weddings, costly rent for shows. How can we use our money for ten years? Put it in some National bank, and in United States Bonds. Do not fool with the penny savings banks or trust companies of any kind; play safe for ten years. Eat wholesome food, wear warm clothing, educate to the highest, live in healthy locations, study companies and expect investors, take care of your needs, and avoid autumn storms. And have it covered if of good use. J. O. Midnight, Well Known To Old Afro Readers, Has A Word To Say About Times And Conditions. Chicago, Illinois.—In the early history of the AFRO-AMERICAN it was mine to talk to the readers, especially as the year changed, as much as the year changed, and sitting down with my hand and ink and paper on the table all alone just on the eye of the year changing. I thought I would attempt to say a few words to some of my old friends. Perhaps you have thought me dead, and yet I am still in this position of identity, yet I am not prepared to say just how long I will be here. The year passed into history has had its bitter and its sweets its gladness and its sorrows, and 2 disregard for law continues to exert pressure on our country we find law for white men and law for black men—that is to spy law made to humiliate the members of my race, and to be broken at will by men of the other race, laws made by the white man construed by him, and at the same time by the black man. Of course we have had a change of administration, and we find that Honorable Woodrow Wilson has accepted the verdict of the American people and is taking his rest. Perhaps he will continue to take his political rest throughout eternity but that is no concern now, for we have graver hints to consider. The Republican party is now in power with President Warren G. Harding with a working majority in Congress at the head of affairs. He made so many speeches during the campaign, and we all deferred to him. He was a man of honor. House there would be a man there, and there has been no reason to change yet, for there have been great questions before him. Bringing about peace between Germany and America, to lay down arms and study war no longer has this is dealing with the foreign intents. Destroy battleships, and in part disband the army, and then let us all sing together "Bohold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to do well together in unity, to this is the right in our construction there seems to be a word left out and that is "whole" brethren. For while representatives of the powers that be are in conference we pick up our own papers and see here and there one or more men were lynched, burned at the stake barricaded, cooked, roasted, and the Lord above cried the words I took a paper and read of a typhning. I bring my head in shame, for I am truly an American citizen, ready and willing at any time to lay down my life for my country. We have defended Old Glory on all occasions with our lives, and in return we are only asking Old Glory to stop piracy. Old Glory is too strong to allow life should be free from danger anywhere Old Glory floats, and it should be just as easy to get a sinner out of hades when once confined as it would be to get him out of one of our American jails. We have law enough here to force the dull out of his kingdom, and we make this a veritablehood if there could be the manhood to carry it out. But, law-makers, law executioners are too busy trying to keep the white man out of fall and send the Negro to the penitentiary. J. O. MIDNIGHT, Chicago, Ill. National Association Thanks Afro For Cooperation To the Editor: The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People sends you its greetings for the New Year. We deeply appreciate the co-operation you gave during the year 1921, and your vital help in realizing our aims. To take but one case, the nationwide event roused in favor of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill is due largely to the unremitting co-operation and the space which editors generously gave. To the exposure of injustice and the praise of honest achievement your efforts have been given during the year. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People acknowledges its indebtedness to you at this time and pledges its efforts to the furtherance of realities and the cause of justice in the casting of light, where light is needed. We shall be glad at all times to receive suggestion for the betterment of our press service, which we hope to continue and develop during 1922. In the coming year we invite you to work with us even more powerfully for the common alms we represent. JAMES W. JOHNSON Secretary Smiles and Chuckles By W. E. R. Women certainly do have a hard time in this world trying to keep up with the styles. Just about the time they get settled to wearing short skirts, now comes Dame Fashion's edict that long skirts are the thing. But thats not all; shortly after she decreed short skirts she also decided to wear that of the dear sex compliments that is, many of those whom Nature had not shown evidence of having anticipated Dame Fashion in this decree. Now comes the further edict that you cannot wear long skirts if your hair is bobbed—long skirts, long hair. Well, if the length of your hair is too long, you are contingent on the length of the hair, we hope we will be allowed to stick around and breathe this terrestrial ozone until the "close-elipped" ruling goes into effect.

HARRIS Old Timer was walking a little tipsily when the reporter met him in front of Brown and Wingate's closed bank on Pennsylvania avenue Sunday morning. "What is the matter," asked the reporter? "Did you lose so much money that you cannot walk straight?" "Gosh, no," replied Old Timer, standing still for the first time, and then rocking slowly from side to side. "I be here lookin' for Banker Brown. That deen Afro of yours said he was coping honestly, and then jumping cann' every mornin' watin' to be the first one to get a shot at him." The Afro did not say he was coming," the Reporter explained, glibly. "It simply said, he said he was coming." "I know you would get out of it somehow." He stuttered three chucked teeth, resuming his pacing and down before the closed hook. "Why can't you walk straight?" asked the reporter after some silence. "Have you been drinking home brew for New Years?" "Home brew nothin' answer of O.K. I don't drink celebrableness was intentional, and I isn't go over it yet. One of my young friends gave me the high sign and the pass word to that air Alpha Phi's convention last week, and I attended every thing from the smoker Tuesday night to the banquet Saturday night, in my weekly obligations, so my walk is affected.
