White Relative In Court Battle To Secure $209,000 Fortune Of West Virginia Colored Heiress UNCLE FIGHTS COLORED NIECE FOR $209,000 Asks West Va., Courts To Give Him Part of Fortune Left Miss Garnet Pickens by White Father Directed Colored Girl To Provide for Father's Colored and White "Wives" Ru I. C. Gilham Charleston, W. Va., March 12. — Legal proceedings to set aside the wilt of Ronna Pickens, white, anticipated since it was prodded, have been instituted by John E., his brother, also white, and a bitter fight is in prospect for the large estate left by the deceased to his daughter "outside the law." Pickens, once sheriff of this—Kansas county and a picturesque figure, died in December last, bequeathing his estate to Garnet Pickens, both known and generally accepted as his daughter by a colored woman, long a domestic in his household. The will gave the entire estate, appointed to $200,000, to Miss Gretel, with directions that she "treat with love and affection" the lawful widow, Mary E. Pickens (white), who holds legal rights during her lifetime. It also directed that she showed and comfortably provide for her years, the servant," during her life. Much common-sense advice was conveyed to the helpless, a beautiful woman of the majority, by the document. It instructs her to consult with experienced business men in all business affairs, cautions her never to sign or endorse any notes, and warns her that she will be the object of the schemes of designing persons. The bankruptcy is also commanded not to sell any of the estate until she resides the age of 30 years, as the real property, located in this city and in the farming sections of this and neighboring counties, rapidly is increasing in value. U.P. Bingham white, city treasurer and vice-president of a local trust company of which Pickens is a qualified administrator by the will and other prominent offices of the same institution were appointed appraisers by the court. Miss Pebbles has had little or no association with other members of her race than her mother, with whom she lived in the home of her father on a farm at Tornado, about 3 miles up Coal River in a white farming settlement. There being no school school and her father being aware of too "closo" to send her away, she who know her intimately says, hes had the advantage of when little education her parents and an occasional tutor could give her. Washington, D. C., March 15—Barry V. Dougherty, said to be a detective and labor agent while in France a few weeks ago conceived an idea of increasing his bank roll a million dollars by supplying American Negro laborers to the French as miners in the district on which he would make a net profit of 50 cents a day on each laborer furnished. He is said to have telegraphed his brother Charles to bound him in the five thousand Negroes from the West Virginia and Pennsylvania coal regions for transportation to France. George is said to have gotten busy and was able to get less than 100 Negroes to go to France. Slaying of Mother Witnessed by Sons Martha, Md., Mar. 15.—James Gracaon, 21 years old, is held on charge of killing his wife, Mamie, in their home near Chilburn, Prince George's County. Mrs. Gracaon was Widow Skinker when she married the man who is alleged to have stained her. She had four children at that time, two others having been born since her marriage to Gracaon. According to the story told by the children, Gracaon first broke a suit over their mother's head and slew her with an ax. France To Withdraw Its Black Troops By the Associated Negro Press Paris France, Mar. 16—Not on account of their color or race but simply to rob Germans of an insidious weapon of defense the Negro troops now stationed in the Ruhr district of occupation will be withdrawn by the government.

REDDING WON ORATOR'S PRIZE AT BROWN UNIV Young Colored Lad From Wilmington Defeats White Opponents Before Huge Crowd PRIZE OF $100 AND MEDAL Winner Will Also Be Commencement Day Orator In June Providence, R. L., Mar. 15. Louis Lorenzon Redding, a Senior at Brown University, won the Gaston prize medal contest in oratory in Manning Hall last evening before the largest crowd that has ever gathered to listen to the annual event. Young Redding comes of a well-known colored family of Wilmington, Delaware, and was a graduate of the Howard High School. Mr. Redding's subject was "Booker T. Washington" and the judges, Professors Benjamin C. Clough and Robert McB. Mitchell and Leland M. Goodrich, were unanimous. The other contestants were John Andrew Wilson, who spoke on "Theodore Roosevelt," and David Alan Midgley, who gave his views on "The Kansas Court of Industrial Relations." The Guston medal and a purse of $100 went to him, but goes to a greater honor that goes to the winner. On Wednesday, June 26, Redding will be one of the speakers at the 155th annual commencement in the First Baptist Meeting House. Speaking with a mellowness of tone and enunciating perfectly, Redding told of conditions pertaining to the Negro with the final abolition of American slavery in 1865, and of the splendid and beneficial work that Booker Washington attempted. "It is a remarkable demonstration of personal greatness that this man, born without paternity or name, should bear heritage, the contents of which is not diminished, but magnified by being shared among the thousands." Young Redding was, personally congratulated by President W. H. Faunce and invited to meet in a conference with him in the near future. Last year Brown University got some unpleasant publicity when it haired the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity from setting up a chapter there. The chapter was set up, however, in the city of Providence and young Redding is one of the members. POSSE SLAYS.CONVICT Sparta, Tenn.

DR. PICKENS SAYS Statement Should Be: "There Is No Material Hell, Heaven, or Bodily Resurrection" Declaring that recent reports of his utterances have misquoted him in that they have left out two important words, Dr. Wm. Pickens sent a statement to the Afro-American yesterday. His theory of "no hell, no heaven and no resurrection should be" no material hell, no material heaven or bodily resurrection. His statement in full follows. Our fathers used to say: "A false report can travel forty leagues while the current is pulling its boots"—the writer of this article recently, and incidentally among other things, that intelligent people do not believe in a material hell, a material heaven, or universal bodily resurrection.

PIJIPPER OUT WITH FALL (Preston News Service) Washington, D. C., March 15—Former Lieutenant Henry O.

There will be a dis- tensive court, degenous workers, National School of Music, orchestra like modern church and social and overt things, dropped the words "material" and the word "bodily," and reported "Tickens says no hell, no heaven, no resurrection." That is just as if we should say: "There is no golden moon," and some fellow would report: "Tickens says there is no moon." Most of the intelligent and all of the others, we know, say also that those things are not material, but that they are spiritual. So we did not regard yourself as giving out any new information. In the last twenty years, we suppose thousands of ministers use these terms, and none of the intelligent ones ever spoke of a fire-and-brinstone hell or a golden-streeted heaven, except as figures of speech. People will learn by and by that it is risky to comment on any important report, unless we first verify the exactness of the report. To verify the exactness of a lifelong word of a proposition, is to change the proposition,—is to make another proposition—And the Germans say: "Lies are like snowballs—the further one rolls them, the bigger they grow." TWO EXHONERATED IN MURDER TRIAL James S. Boardley, 2316 Hunter street and Isaac Queen, 2002 Oak street, who went on trial Tuesday in Part 2 of the Criminal Court for the killing of Boston C. Brooks in a pistol duel staged in the Hamburg Pleasure Club on December 30, were both exhonorated on the murder charge by Judge Stanton. Isaac Queen, against whom there was also charge of assault to rob, is being held under a suspender sentence. Sally brought out at the trial did not establish just who shot Brooks in the three cornered pistol fight that took place following the row over gambling money. In a game of dice in which all three of the men participated, Queen is alleged to have left the place distressed over the manner in which Boardley was conducting the game. Returning a short time later, corner and demanded the money in the possession of Boardley. "All right! Boardley, I'll take the money," he said brandishing a gun. Whereupon Boardley laid a certain amount on the table. One of the men who had just bid 35 cents on the table remarked as Queen took it up, "That's my money, give it here." He put on silver on lead. Queen continued, whereupon the being began. When the fight was over Brooks had been mortally wounded. Queen had been shot in the abdomen, his intestines being punctured 21 times and Boardley had been shot in the shoulder.

BANK ALLEGED AUTHOR POISON PEN LETTERS FACES JUDGE SOPER U. S. Court Room Crowded Today as Pastor Denied Writing Vile Missives A ruling admitting three of the alleged poisoned letters and the alleged confession of the attacker, the third, was used of sending obscene letters through the mail, to women, were the outstanding features of its trial as being the U.S. District Court today. A. Rev. Mr. Briddell is pastor of three M. E. Church on Kent Island, Md. In a courtroom this capacity with them was won, many of them being acquaintances of the accused, the taking of testimony began after many legal titles between Cunseld. Mrs. Margaret Snyder, white, a resident of Stevensville, where, according to her testimony for the last three years, appearance of certain very obscure letters has been the cause of much disarray, the first woman to take the stand. The first of these letters was received by her on August 3, 1922. She identified two of the letters as those which she received, the last one coming on January 19, 1922. Under cross examination she said that she had known Rev. Briddell almost since he had been pastoring on the island. When asked as to his position she stated that the servance she had made was that he was "too polite." POST MISTRESS TESTIFIES Miss Tis Telson, white, Assistant Postmistress, of Stevensville, followed Mrs. Snyder. She stated she received her first obsolete letter on January 20th. Owing to some unpleasant experiences in which she was accused of writing these letters, she stated that she began to watch the writing of all people mailing letters at the office. Her suspicions fell on Rev. Mr. Bridell when she received the poison pen letters received by her. On one occasion she stated that Rev. Mr. Bridell came into the office and was listening beside a window when she opened it suddenly, and he rushed back to the shelf used by parrons of the post-office to write on. She stated that he mailed letters at the post-office practically every day. Under cross-examination she admitted that two white men had bad contact with the post-office growing out of accusations as to the author of these letters. She also stated that Rev. Mr. Bridell insisted always on speaking to her, even when she tried to avoid meeting his glance. Even, she stated, when he passed her as she was standing in her home in the window, he always spoke. At this point, she said she could be admitted as evidence after strenuous objections in the part of Messrs. Deshields and Hawking, Attorneys for Rev. Bridell. The State's Attorney then began to lay the foundation for admission of an alleged confession which the Post-office Inspector Jacob E. Sempurn, whistle obtained from the minister when first confronted with the charge. This confession, according to the testimony of Sempurn, was made on February 4th, in the directors' room of the Stevensville Bank in the presence of Dr. Robert Coursey, whistle: Dr. Clas, W. Snyder, whistle: Mr. John P. Williamson, whistle: a containt, three other white men. After checking up the writing, he said he had Rev. Mr. Bridell brought into the bank, and charged him, then asked whether he wrote the letters. At first the pastor denied the charge, but after talking with Dr. Snyder, the come back into the room and confessed. Continued on Page 7.

Bishop, 1509 Carey St. Robert Young, 1558 McCulloh St. Daniel Ellison, white. Augustus C. Binswanger, white. With the guidance of Robert Young, Rev. C. V. Bishop, and two white candidates into the contest for City Council from the 4th District the total number of Republicans was increased. Only three can be elected in the primaries April 20. Tuesday at midnight the time expired in which papers could be filed. Candidates may be given a Week to change their minds and withdraw if they desire. While the Republican City Committee has a primary contest in end of the spring, the opposing except the first where three candidates only are running, effort is being made to match differences and get all the contestants to withdraw from the race except three. EMERSON IS HANDS OFF At the conference Sunday the organization favored McGuinan, Fitzgerald and Ellison, two colored and one white candidates from the Fourth District. It agreed however to keep its hands off and allow them to fight. Walter Emerson, executive of the 4th Ward, is one of those who deprives the scarcity in the Fourth District. He said, "I am behind none of the candidates. I am keeping my hands off and have assumed the attitude of a referee, but it really opposes to the primary contest in this thing. We should have agreed on two colored and one white candidate and supported them. The contest is now so complicated that we are embarrassed and our chance of securing representation at all are reduced." WOULD AVOID RACE ISSUE With two elected voters in the majority in the Republican ranks in this district, it is said that three-colored men may be nominated. Democrats would take advantage of this to raise the race issue and refer to the black ticket. In such an event, leaders see the need to this district with the aid of white Republicans and the colored candidates left at home, Charles Hall, executive of the 17th Ward, is also said to favor the McGuinn, Fitzgerald, Ellison ticket. He was not present at the Sunday conference. **BOB" YOUNG ACTIVE** Much speculation was caused by the entrance of "Bob" Young into the race at the last minute. "I am not putting myself in the position of endangerment the race representation from the ward," he said. "but I am opposed to the type of inactive representatives we now have in the council." In addition, he said to certain members of the new council the 17th Ward, getting a foot hold in the 14th Ward. I will get out if Josiah Diggs will.

"The Black Man's Place In South Africa" By Peter Neilson. Published by Juta and Company, Limited Cape Town, South Africa. This little volume has come all the way from South Africa. I do not know the price but I want to note it among the publications of 1822 as one of careful study and friendly import. Neilson tells us that he has studied the ways of the natives of South Africa on the spot, "at first hand, through the medium of their own speech, which he professes to know as well as the natives themselves." With this knowledge he discusses Bantu, evidently the South African native, whose language he knows, and finds him surprisingly like the white man in his physical, intellectual and moral equipment. ```markdown ``` To give some quotations: "The Bantu as compared with other races, labor under no apparent physiological disabilities to hinder them in the process of mental development." Of their language, he says: "The Bantu types are capable of being developed into perfect a means of expression of human thought as any of the European types of speech. They are astonishingly rich in verbs, which make it easy to express motion and action vividly." The Fantus are not more hostile than whites: "The sexual instincts of the Natives seem in no wise different from those of other people." Their bravery is very great. "Those who have shared the dangers of flood and field with African natives often testify to acts of subline courage by native soldiers, hunters and miners in the face of real and appreciated danger under circumstances which show that the natives as a whole are no less capable than the white people of conquering instinctive fear and of sacrificing the individual self when great demands are made." And of power: "In sound reason natives, as in sound reason natives with which he is familiar, the native is whit below the white man." Of Negro achievement: "The mental strain involved in leading the so-called savage is, on the whole, no less intense than that suffered by the civilized man in maintaining his civilized existence." And last: "The native is not a savage. Even before the whites came to South Africa the Jamaican lived in such order as to maintain its appearances in which the principles of constitutionalism were clearly "recognized." --- With this and other clear statements of the equality of the black man with the white, the writer proceeds to discuss the relation between the two races in South Africa. He makes it clear to us why white men see red when they view the mating of a white woman and a colored man. The white man's instinct of sexual jealousy is aroused. The male man is attracted to the white and this instinct makes the white man resent the entrance into the field of a dissimilar race. This racial pride is growing among the Bantus as well. General education accentuates race pride rather than diminishes it. And yet, it is not enough to rely upon to keep the races apart and the writer ends with a scheme for complete separation of the races in South Africa. He would have certain sections given over wholly to the natives and others wholly, or almost wholly, to the Europeans. Natives would only own land in their own sections. Thus parallel civilizations would grow up, and friction be lessened. This has been many a man's dream, but when we look at our own Pueblo Indians today, we cannot believe it will work out well in South Africa. There is one human quality upon which we can always count, capidity. The whites is South Africa would take the land from the natives just as soon as it was worth their while, provided the whites remained in the ascendant. And the Negroes, like our Indians, would be left to die. One feels like throwing up one's hands when this admirable little volume is finished. Is there no solution to the problem of white and black living together? Must one race be swallowed up by the other, race or will humanity learn something from experience? This last seems unlikely, so which race will be swallowed up?

We men are just hod-carriers, whose business it is to provide the materials with which the wife is to work. "The work of the home is more important than any other work. If church work interferes with the home, give up church work. If attending societies interferences with home give up the societies. You cannot have a effective church or an efficient society if you haven't a decent respectable home behind you." Parents who are so busy attending outside affairs that their children are allowed to run the streets were severely criticised by Kev, Mr. Elliot, who said that many ambitions upfitters were negligent of their duty to their own children. Women who are properly provided for and who fail to have family meals ready on time were scored by the pastor when he said he had no patience with the type of food served. He ceased joy for a hungry husband instead of dinner. "Almighty God" he declared "has no use for the people who make excuses."

Walker, pastor of Madison Street Presbyterian Church, who recently conducted a series of meetings at Lincoln University, was paid by Dean Wm. H. Johnson this week. The tribute is contained in a letter to the secretary of the General Education Board of the Presbyterian Church, in part it states: "The man who came to bring us the message in our evangelistic meetings during the week of February 11th to 18th, proved to be the right man in the right place. He was Rev. William Walker, D. D., a graduate from the college here in 1897 and from the seminary in '60. He was engaged in Y. M. C. A. work in France during the war. In college he was the leading scholar of his class and all his sermons had a strong intellectual tone which appealed to the students. He said, however, that among the people of his race (and the same will apply to other races) if the appeal is made to the intellect along the people will praise you but you will leave you, but that they will open their hearts to the man who enters by the door of emotions. Students 100% Present. Dr. Walker's sermons here were a happy combination of thoughtful scholarship and of direct and pointed spiritual appeal. The metings were held during the worst weather of the year, but in spite of near zero temperature in the afternoon allowing one night at the attendance of sixty miles a hour, the attendance of the students—especially during the latter part of the week—was almost 100 percent. Eight young men came forward to profess their faith in Christ and their desire to devote their lives to His service. Three of these were men on the football squad and others are leading men in their classes. A by-product of Dr. Walker's work here was the increased interest among the students in the work of the ministry. It is encouraging to know that seven or eight men of the senior class in the college among them several of the best scholars and all-around men of the class are looking forward to entering the theological seminary next year. Dr. Walker, by his power in the pulpit and his talks with the men, might have worked of the men, might have said he would change his place as a preacher for that of President of United States. You will see that in his work here Dr. Walker made a profound impression upon both faculty and students. Among his series of sermons were notable addresses upon the Parable of the Good Samaritan and the Rich Rich Rich. Dr. Walker he preached the test, "Ghost then by Searching Find out God" giving the reasons why he believed in God. This latter sermon the professor of theology said was the handling of the subject that he had ever heard. Dr. Walker was thronged by the students who wished to intervene and did his only complaint was that there were visitors in his rooms for the preaching that he found if difficult to get the required amount of sleep." Sunday morning Rev. W. W. Allen made a hurried trip to Fort McHenry to administer spiritual advice to a dying soldier. The Baptist Minister's Union appointed a committee to arrange for weekly services for the soldiers. The committee includes Revs. W. W. Allen, G. A. Crawley, A. L. Bailey, J. H. Taylor and Edward Sparkes. GRACE PRESBY, CHURCH Etting and Dolphin streets Rev. J. T. Colbert, Pastor EENCH RALLY SERVICE 11 a. m., Bench Rally Service p. m., sermon by pastor Moming theme.

CHURCH McFadden St. Spring St. near McElderry St. A meeting was held while our Bishop was present. There has been a, false rumor, that the church was to be sold to the city to pay off the mortgage. The mortgage was paid off. The church has not been sold and neither renegotiation. Some one is trying to handicap the progress of the church by working against someone has entered a compulsion against the church. Something will have to be, made plain to the public. In 1912 when the split was at the church it was not the financial trouble. The pastor at that time wanted to get a divorce and it was against the discipline. The Bishop told him to keep the law of his discipline. For that cause the church met his fatal blow, and Bishop was criticized for his stand for right. Four month ago when the four resigned, he did not want to keep the law of his discipline. Presiding Elder told him he must keep the law of his discipline. He refused to do so. By that Presiding Elder was not pass his official charter of his quarter conference. He went out and carried some of the members with him, and established a chapel of his own. Ask the members what connection they belong, all they know is that they are a chapel. Some say, love thy neighbor as thy self. The fellow is unfair, says love me and no one else. They say there is no harm for God's lamb to play together. I am the boss the members the tools. Men who happen in three or four meetings make trouble anywhere they go. They are not a connection men and you can not trust them. St. Rev: D. W. Smith, Presiding Elder; Rev. Frazier, pastor. 3 p. m.

MOVIE PROGRAM ROOSEVELT "Under Two Flags" Another fine program of worthwhile screen features will greet the patrons of the Roosevelt next week, beginning on Monday with "Under Two Flags" starring Priscilla Dean, the dashing little heroine of such fine productions as "Conflict" and "Wild Honey." This picture is a screen version of the stage play of Quida's famous novel-of the same title. One of the big outdoor scenes of this production is a sand storm in the desert. This picture will be continued on Tuesday. -On Wednesday, a picture, which to judge from the title will be of extreme interest to feminine patrons, will be offered under the title "What Pools Men Are." Male sons will doubtless take a peep in large numbers in order to themselves as others show them or either as the screen on this occasion reveals them to the gentler ones. *Thursday and Friday, the big special offering will be "The Hot fenton" a screen version of the stage play of the same title that served as a starring vehicle for Wm. Collier several years ago. Love and horse racing are the conflating themes of this story. On Saturday, a really worthwhile drama will be shown in "Making A Man" starring Jack Holt. This picture is one of the very latest that have been made starring this sterling actor and is said to be the very best thing he has ever been seen in. "The two big features which special attention is invited to for the last two days of this week, are "Thelma" a screen version of the Marie Corelli novel of the same title, that has been a favorite Classic among girls and women novel readers for years, which will be offered on Friday with Jane Novak in the stellar role, and "Above All Law" a thrilling dream of the Orient, dealing with passion, love and wild beasts which will be shown on Saturday. (Vaudeville and Pictures) Three vaudeville turns are offered as the stage attraction at the Star this week, namely: Gates and Williams, made duo who wipe over to a big band with their dancing and comedy chatter, Williams taking several bows for his nifty hoofshaking while rattling bones as an accompaniment; Bartol, "white" accordionist who had them clamoring for more of his jazz at his final exit and Dixie Kids Dogs, which consists of two members of that species who do a number of "stunts" of the usual type. Pictures complete the bill.

Also Pearl White in "PLUNDER" "Stolen Moments" The big feature at the Carey next Monday will be "Stolen Moments" starring Rodolph Valentino, and Margarite Namara. This picture is one of the earlier features in which the famous "Sheik" or filmmaker appeared and will be of especial interest to his followers in this picture, portrayes the life of the "Villain" in the life of hero. An additional feature on this day that will be a treat for Carey patrons will be little Sunshine Sammy in a comedy entitled "Young Sherlock." On Tuesday, the special feature will be "The Dungeon" the colored picture from the studio on Oscar Mischeaux featuring an all-colored cast. This story is a tense drama of love and crooked politics in a little town inhabited by colored citizens and will be of extreme interest to those who like to see an occasional picture with all colored players. The comedy feature on this day will be "A Quiet Night" which will also feature Sunshine Sammy. On Thursday, the big feature entitled "The Mohican's Daughter" which was scheduled to have been shown on February 11th, will be featured on Saturday, the first episode of a return showing of "Dare-Devil Jack" the serial featuring Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion prize fighter of the world will be shown. Special attention is also called to the program which will be shown on Saturday of this week, namely, the last episode of "Thunderbolt Jack" co-featuring Jack Hoxie and Marian Sais; "Hearts or Oak" a two-act western starring Roy Stewart; a Harold Lloyd comedy entitled "A Gasoline Wedding" chapter in Aaron Worman's World War II movies; in Winn Dixon and Laura LaPlante are the featured players, and a screaming Asson Fable entitled "Trouble in the Ark." REGENT (Vaudeville and Pictures) Three vaudeville acts comprise the stage offering at the Regent this week. Arthur and Arthur, man and woman duo, opened, scoring well with their songs, bright comedy chatter and dancing. The lady took several bows for her pleasing singing voice, white Arthur, better known as "Grasshopper" got several rounds of extra guffaws for his comedy antics. Blondy Robinson, in a blackface "single" breezed on and hit them between the eyes from the jump by his facial contortions witty dialogue and acrobatic dancing. He is cisely the best male blackface "single" seen here for sometime, and left the stage to a heavy hand. Frank Parker who offered a musical act consisting of a handsaw played with a violin bow flopped completely as he seemed the rankest sort of amateur (This act was canceled after IT'S AT THE GENT..

Deltino and Deltino, man and woman, "white" closed the bill with a comedy and empapling act act that got off on crutches but finished extra strong. The feature of the act was the man's throwing of lives around his partner as stood against a board. As a finish, the man gave a demonstration of some extremely difficult contortion stunts while the lady warbled a song number in a fair voice. The Regent management is collecting less attention on the stage attractions generally than on the screen features, and the attention of Regent patrons is especially invited to "The Hound of the Baskervilles" a screen version of Sir Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes story of the same title which will be shown Friday and Saturday.

Then there is the Russian Excavation Church, which encloses the original gates of Jerusalem, the Garden of Gethsemane, the tomb of Mary and the Chapel of the Ascension on the Mount of Olives, containing a rock marked by tradition as the exact spot where Christ ascended into Heaven; there is the tomb of David on Mount Zion and the Chamber of the Lord's Last Supper; the Jews Walking Place, which is against the Wall of Solomon and is where the Jews go daily to cry.

ALLEGED AUTHOR OF POISON PEN LETTERS FACES JUDGE SOPER ALLEGED AUTHOR OF POISON PEN LETTERS FACES JUDGE SOPER (Continued from page 1) signed the confession." Williamson and Snyder took the stand to corroborate the testimony of Sempman. BRIDELL TAKES STAND Taking the stand in the temporary tilt over the admission of this alleged confession, Rev. Mr. Bridell denoted in to the allegations of the Post-office Inspector. According to his story when he entered the room the Inspector said: "Why did you write these letters?" "I did not write any letters," he stated. "You are a d—black lion." Constable Coursey is allowed to have put in. "The best thing for you to do is not say that you wrote them," continued Inspector Sempman. "I cannot say in my heart and I tell the truth, that I wrote them," said Rev. Bridell. Said Rev. Bridwell, "Then, some one on the crowd remarked, "There is a grave-yard near here." Then there was some reference to a pistol. Finally Dr. Snyder stated to him that as he was a Methodist minister and often told his congregation in revival meetings to make clean breast of all matters in their hearts, it was best for him to make a clean breast of this and say he wrote the letters. He again denied the charge, when the detectives said, "Well, we know he wrote them and he is in our lands now," and again told him to say he wrote them and that they would protect him. He then stated that if that would do any good he would say it, but that in his heart he knew he was telling an untruth. A confession was then written which he signed and was then placed in jail. FAMILY WEAKNESS ALLEGED Judge Super then ruled that there was no evidence of address in obliterating the 'confession' and it was admitted. Post-office Inspector Sempman was then placed back on the stand to finish his testimony of the statements made by Rev. Mr. Fridell during the conversation after the alleged confession. According to his testimony, when asked why he had written these letters, Rev. Fridell stated, "Well, it is a family weakness. Shortly before my mother's death she sent insane. My mind compes and goes and sometimes I am not conscious of what I am doing. Family trembles also often I get my mind out of control. It impresses me this way and I don't know what I am doing." The court adjourned with this witness on the stand. Friday morning, Inspector Sempman resumed his testimony. Penalty for sending vile matter through the mails is five years in a U.S. prison, if convicted. If Roy, Mr. Brubel is convicted of all charges, he may serve a long term at Atlanta.

He then pointed out the value of race co-operation to this end and said, why should one race be jealous of another since each must fulfill the mission of its own existence or fall. His unbiased discourse captivated audience; even a conference and prepared the way for an enthusiastic hearing for the afternoon session. The theme of his afternoon address was, "Give God a chance in your life." The fervent eloquence of the speaker held the conference enthralled throughout the lengthy discourse. After the session his hand was vigorously shaken by many men and women who heartily congratulated and thanked him for the inspiring message, by which their missionary visions were made, brighter and their hearts fired with a renewed zeal to serve humanity and God. For nearly two hours after the session Mr. Aggrey was detained by inquiry and was asked why questions concerned Africa and the missionary centers there. With amazing accuracy; as was remarked by many, he named and located missions of numerous denominations even to the extreme boundaries of the continent. i Se 8g we BATTING: FRIDAY MARCH 16, 1923.

Kent in his series of articles on "The Great Game of Politics" states that there are over 22,000 registered colored voters in the city of Baltimore. If these votes were ever marshalled under one banner they would be a formidable force in the civic advance of one group. And they been under the Republican banner for the post 60 years with well nigh disastrous results. A clerk in the office of the City Service Commission openly states that there are competitive positions under the civil service rules of the City of Baltimore that colored young men and women need not aspire to hold. In private industries selfish racial discrimination might be tolerated, but it is striking at the vaults of American principles when the conscience of a great city becomes a public group that they must be harped from full participation in its administration. While we strive to Americanize the foreign born we do our best to un-Americanize a part of a group representing one of the most productive parts of our citizenship. Mayor Broening announces that he will make his fight for re-election on his record. If the temper of the average man you meet in the street is indicative of State of affairs in the colored wing of the Republican party, Mr. Broening's record has already driven many of them into the Democratic party. Political history shows that in a democratic community a Republican official must always out-Herd Herod in dealing with the colored group. A good Democrat is often better than a bad Republican. The Sun paper is anxious to know just how many jobholders the next Mayor will fire. But what we are most concerned about is why many colored jobholders will be billed. Police officers in the Eastern District riddled the East End Social Club of which Major Hawkins, 1424 S. Caroline street was president. They found a small group of young men playing cards and carted them to the police station. At the trial neighbors of Hawkins, white and colored, testified that this was one of the quietest and most orderly places in the community, and it developed that while the custom in many of the pleasure clubs in the city is to gamble, only innocent amusements were allowed in this place. It would be a fine thing if some would study and direct the proper club equipment of the small social club belonging to the thousands of young men who have no place in which to play a decent name of cards other than the commercial video-ridden resorts. Properly conducted such places might easily become mid-way stations between certain wavyard groups and the church and Y. M. A local ministerial organization announced that they would reply to Pickens' much discussed article on what people believe. One of the most dangerous things that leaders of Christianity can do is to try to prove conceptions of Divinity by logical argument. Religion cannot be measured by a yard stick or computed by mathematics. Its origin antedates human history. It is as much revealed in the acts of the heathen who sacrifices his flesh and blood to appease his unknown God as it is in the mind of the savant behind cloistered walls. It is in the voice of the troubled soul bending over her toil singing the spiritual, and it is the only thing that seeks the heart to fight for humanity. The underlying principle of Diversity needs no defense. A child left alone in the wilderness without contact with human beings would come to have the consciousness of some mighty force guiding the universe. Whatever this force is must be a God. On the other hand the efforts of men to interpret religious doctrines and systems must always give way to the march of civilization. What may be a truth to one generation may become out of tune with the knowledge of another. The religion of Moses passed with the coming of Christ, but who will say that Moses did not imbibe the true religion of his day. Whether men see God through Christ or Confucius — through Shinto or Gouldamar or even through the fetishism of Pagan worship, matters only in so far as they affect rules of human relations. The important thing after all is honestly to apply the teaching of your professed religious belief. As to the religion of Christ we have not yet been willing to fully apply it. Effective Negro Votes City Jobs and Americanization Broening and Jobholders Pleasure Clubs for Young Men Pickens and the Clergy Cohen Out Anderson In The Senate refused to confirm Walter Cohen, colored Republican of Louisiana as collector of the port of New Orleans, Senator O. E. Weller of Maryland, told the AFRO-AMERICAN that some things not affecting Mr. Cohen caused the adverse vote. It is surmised that one of these things was the President's announcement a year ago that he would not appoint colored men to political offices in the South, Mr. Harding forgot this promise when he made the Cohen nomination. Maybe he wanted to disregard it, but Democratic Senators held him to it. Incidentally to save the wounded feelings of the party cohorts, Mr. Harding has named Charles W. Anderson, collector of Internal Revenue in a district especially created for him in New York. White Mason Lose Second Fight Florida white Masons and Mystic Shriners lost a second fight in the Circuit Court of Tampa, in their efforts to restrain their colored brethren from using the "name, words, grips, signs and insignia of the Mystic Shriners." Prejudice moves in amazing ways. If the objection to colored Masons was that they did not make proper use of Masonic emblems, did not properly understand them, or had come into possession of them illegally, the thing would be understandable. But to file an objection on the mere ground that Negroes must not be Mystic Shriners is carrying selfishness to 9th degree. Maybe Florida views Masonry among colored people as another form of "social equality." Italian Bank Goes Up. "Our people do not know how to run banks" some people said after two local banks went up last year. Losses of the two local banks together will not total $100,000. An Italian banking firm went bankrupt in New York last week and two million dollars went with the absconding bankers. There are dishonest men in all kinds of business, there are bankers poorly equipped to carry on a successful business. Banking is a matter of brains and integrity not a matter of race. The Italianies who lost their money in Tisho's bank, and cow never to patronize an Italian again, or who have come to the conclusion that Italians are unfitted to engage in the banking business will have failed to learn this valuable lesson. Sneeze. If you happen to be in New York and forget to cough or sneeze in your handkerchief some police policeman will arrest you for violation of the sanitary code. New York's health regulations decree that the nose and the mouth must be covered during a sneeze, and the blue coats are being prodded to enforce the law. Sleeping sickness and the "Flu" are caused by unguarded coughing, sneezing, loud speaking and expectoration. The two diseases are said to be in close relation to each other. The big toll of lives the "Flu" takes every year makes it apparent that if drastic methods are needed to make a man "watch his sneeze," then other cities should copy New York's sanitary code. Somerset County Colored Schools Lead Whites Do the colored children of the State of Maryland want an education. Ask the attendance officer 'or Somerset County. His records for February have just been made public. They show that the average attendance in white schools in February was 71' and in the colored schools 77. Reck Creek, a colored school, had the highest average attendance for the month, 96. February was a bad weather month. Bad roads and much sickness affected school attendance. The average colored school in Somerset County is not as well heated as the average white school nor is the equipment as good, nor are the teachers as well paid. There is a future for a people who will send their children to school regularly in spite of these handicaps. When Baltimore spent $20,000 for a church several years ago, the thot was then that the last word in church building had been said. But it wasn't. It was just the first word. The idea of a community church meeting the needs of the membership seven days a week struck the country. Philadelphia started a church costing a quarter of a million. Atlanta lost a $300,000 church by fire which took thirty years to build. Chicago entered THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SECOND SECTION THE NORTH SOUTHERN NEGRO SOUTHERN INJUSTICE PERSECUTION LYNCH LAB HATSON last week a, community church building costing a half million dollars. New York purchased Monday a church building for $288,600. Nor has the last week worked yet for the church to be no limit to the amount of money the church can get, when it sets about service in the modern way. THE FORUM THE FORUM This Reader Believes No Saved Person Can Agree With Dr. Pickens No Hell. No Heaven Theory To the Editor: The writer doesn't believe that any living person has ever gone to and returned from either Heaven or hell, nevertheless I believe that every saved person believes in (or is too wise to say that we doesn't believe in) the Bible. Taking Mr. Pickens statement "pro et con", no saved person, in this day of civilization would come out of the public and say that they agree with the educator, he is not to be scorned but pitted. O Tempora! O Mores! Mr. Pickens' theory is not now in himself but he has been waiting fog for what he termed "Molia tempora fund" Surely, there must be reward for the good when they have finished their services here on earth. All that the educator has said on his subject will not change the belief of those who are enclined to do good, for they are firm in their belief. But I question if Mr. Pickens is sincere in all that he has said in his theory of disobedience. If he is, he doesn't represent, in my opinion, "Men's same in corpus sana." FELIX P. EADDY Belair, Md. This Minister Thinks Pastors Who Eer Should Not Be Cartooned. For Some Reason Not Stated He Also Fears The Criticism Of The White People. To the Editor: I am bitterly opposed to condoning a man in his criminal conduct. I am just opposed to knocking a man when he is down. Just what did you mean to do for Rev. Briddell or the reading public when you put that infamous looking cartoon of him in your paper two weeks ago? Good motives certainly must prompt your publications. Was it a house on the Negro? or a Negro ministry? or him? Yes it intended to show now corrupt a man of the cloth could be? In either case what have you accomplished for yourself, the paper, the man, the race or the ministry? And in what way is the public benefited? I am not asking for an answer. Yes, the white papers do the same thing: but white men are their own judges. They are our judges too. You can your editorial staff are in a permanent position for doing real, tangible, public service. REV. H. F. PETTS Frostburg, Md. A Page for Every Member Of The Family Says Rev. James A Wright. To the Editor: The Afro is always a welcome visitor to my desk every week. It is just like money from home as it is so full of home news as well as of that of other sections. The new addition of Dean Kelly Miller's column is all that could be desired. He is so frank and fearless in his advocacy of the right of the group. The claim of being a family paper is true and justifiable as there is a page for every member of the family. REV. JAMES A. WRIGHT 25 Brook St. Hartford, Conn. Dean Pickens Views Make Him Unworthy Of Eternal Life Says This Reader To the Editor: Dr. Pickens is trying to be like the Sadduees who denied the resurrection St. Luke 20:27 Then came to certain of the Sadduees which deny that there is any resurrection; and they certain things. After Jesus heard them He said the children of this world marry and are given in marriage to accounted for this, to marriage, that world and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage. To my mind Dr. Pickens account himself not worthy to obtain that world and the resurrection from the dead. Oh ye of little faith. PRISCILLA BERRYMAN Says Pickens Has Been Reading Bob Ingersoll To the Editor: I used sorry for Dr. Pickens as a leader. I think he has swapped his head for a rains head or otherwise has been corresponding with Bob Ingersoll.

Whether Tut-Ankh-Amen was a Negro we do not know and may never know, for the excavation of his tomb is in the hands of British Europeans. The whites call nothing creditable Negroid if they can possibly find another name for it. Besides, three thousand years of interment may have pinched and sharpened the King's features, withering them down to the bone. But one thing they cannot deny, and that is, the king had a Negro name. What the first two divisions of the name mean is not commonly known, but it is a scientific fact that the third part, the "Ameros" was the name of an ancient Negro god. With his name they began and ended their prayers, and to this day white Christians end their prayers with "amen" without knowing where the word came from. It is indeed a paradox to find men ending prayers to Christ with the name of a pagan god, especially when that god is a Negro deity. Harding On Education President Harding writing to the Negro National Conference in Washington last week regretting his inability to attend said:— it is peculiarly true of the colored people because they have been so little favored with educational opportunity and, therefore, have a great deficit in this regard to be made up. "I have always felt that the right kind of effort along educational and industrial lines among the colored people is certain to be productive of the most useful results, both to them and the national interest in general. "My own attitude toward the problem of racial discrimination fully set forth in my address at Birmingham over a year ago that I can hardly add anything to that statement of it.

Did You Know That: Until recently we held 8,35 positions in the service of Uncle Sam and 10,000 in the civil service of the various states and cities. We have 40,000 houses of worship, worth in the aggregate, $75,000,000, and practically one-half of all the men, women and children in the race are on the church rolls. For the support of these churches we set aside annually from our hard earnings $7,500,000. In a generation we have paid $70,000,000 toward our own education. Northern philanthropy has done no more, and sixteen Southern states have only done twice as much in fifty years. The Negro soldier was troop- The legislature of North Ore for the Mechanical and Ag Greensboro.

If we have waited a time until now for the suggestion of the we wait a little longer for its consummation. Interested and interesting parties are urging me to issue an immediate call of the proposed Negro Sanhedrin. In order to build securely, we must build slowly. The seed sown by the wayside springs up quickly and is soon so sorcoped because it lacks depth of earth. It would be a sheer waste of while to call a concession of the supertype kind which runs, the regular gamut of oratory, resolutions and adjournment. The Negro race has had leaders and organizations and conventions galore from the days of reconstruction until now. But there has not yet been formulated a statesmanlike policy for the whole group that is adequate and workable. Now, if ever is the time to attempt this moment- tons undertaking. The ten million Negroes in the United States are the most intelligent group of African derivatives to be found any where on the face of the globe. The race is universally stigmatised as being incapable of wise self-guidance. It is reserved for the AFRO-AMERICAN contingent to roll away this approach. And yet we stand practically paralized in the midst of a situation which intelligent exertion could largely control. We have not come to a clear self-understanding nor yet know how to adjust ourselves most effectively to the environment in which we find ourselves engulfed. The statesman posits as big his ideal the thing that ought to be done, and forthwith proceeds to do the thing that can be done. He also abides his time when the thing which ought to be done can be done. There is the widest margin between what the Negro can do and what he is actually doing to promote race reclamation. We are faced by the possible, the attainable and the actual. We should forthwith proceed to translate the attainable into the actual, and then proceed to translate the possible into the attainable. When I reflect upon the magnitude of the outlined task, I am upended at the audacity of the attempt. But my hand has been seen to the plow. I cannot book back. The first step has been taken. The matter has reached the stage of public discussion. The time is not wasted, though it takes a full year to digest and assimilate the idea. Haste makes waste; to delay is dangerous. Both extremes must be avoided. Several Civil Rights organizations will hold a representative session in New York next week. The matter will be formally presented. The formation of an effective preliminary committee is a difficult task. The formulation of a comprehensive agenda and the representative basis of the conference will require the prolonged thought and deliberation of our best minds. The time and place of meeting will come later. The Negro Sanbedrin must not be of the Jonah's Gourd variety. Permanent results demand orderly procedure. If we have waited from the beginning of time until now for the suggestion of the Sanbedrin, surely we can wait a little longer for its consummation. Mercenary or Missionary There are two controlling human motives, the mercenary and the missionary. The one seeks personal advantage, the other vicious service; the former is the root of all evil, the latter the source of all guilt. Service to race transcends service to self. Are you a mercenary or a missionary? History repeats itself. The Columbian University of Washington, D. C. used to admit colored students to its professional departments. But with the rising tide of prejudice its policy was changed. The Negro applicant was excluded. The last issue of the Negro World recalls to our minds the interesting correspondence of Wm. H. H. Hart, an applicant for admission to the law school in 1885. The controversy between Hirt and President Wellington paralleled in every particular the issue between Bruce and Lowell of Harvard. The idea of Hart was clean cut, logical, brilliant and passioned; the reply of Wellington was a plain, homely, blunt negative. The one who holds the power neither needs nor heeds the nice ties of logic or disquisitional skill. A word and a blow is sufficient offset to the ethics and erudition of the suppliant. We are reminded that the fundamental issues of the Negro problem change but slowly. They are but slowly modifiable by time and place. The spirit of Washington in 1885 has reached Boston in 1923. The Columbian University has changed its name to the George Washington University. But the old spirit still lives. It makes little difference whether the place be Washington or Boston, whether the applicant be Hirt or Bruce, the same old demon of race difference shows his same old hideous head. There is nothing new under the sun of race prejudice. $601,000 for N. C.

Virginia, Texas, Oklahoma, and Missouri will own Maryland, my Maryland, unless she says we liberal attitude towards the higher education. The legislature of North Carolina has appropriated $601,000 for the Mechanical and Agricultural College for Negroes at Greenshore. This is the most significant and encouraging item of educational news that we have come across in a long time. The South is waking up to its educational obligation to the Negro. The Old North State has made a total appropriation of one and a half million for Negro institutions of higher education in the state. The city of Norfolk, Va. is erecting a Negro school building to house several departments of instruction, at a cost of a half million dollars. The far Southern states will doubtless follow the example of their sisters nearer the border line. Already the border states have set the example. West Virginia, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas several years ago made liberal provision for their respective state colleges for Negro youth. Maryland alone lags behind. The Negro State school at Bowie surely does not indicate Maryland's ideal for the higher education of two hundred and fifty thousand Negroes, North Carolina, West Virginia, Texas, Oklahoma, and Missouri will rise up and condemn Maryland, my Maryland, unless she speedily indicates a more liberal attitude towards the higher education of fierer citizens of color.

The Japanese and the Hindoo have been excluded by judicial decision. The red man alone is left with an undecided status.

The law was passed by Congress in 1870 when the race was at the highest attained point in public favor and regard. Should that law be modified in the light of present day attitude, the European Caucasian would doubtless be the only residuary race from which American citizenship might be recruited.

At the door he met Old Timer. "What are you going here?" asked the reporter. "None of your turn business" answered O. T. tartly. The reporter went down to the Supervisors of Election's office in the City Hall Tuesday to see if any more candidates for City Council had filed in the 4th Dispriet. At the door he met the Timer. "What are you going here?" asked the reporter. "None of your turn business" answered O. T. tarly. "What are you doing here." "I came to see if any more candidates had filed for office," said the reporter weekly, "and now that I have answered your question maybe you will say what you are doing in this out-of-the-way place?" "Boy" answered O. T. "I heard this was the last day for film papers for the Council, so I made up my mind that we had enough candydates from the Fourth District and eny more what filed would file over my dead body. I got me my best hickory came and here I is." "You would not be violent would you" asked the reporter. "Violet or not" declared O. T. "Four candydates is sumblegent, Wilkins, Fitz, Mate and Joe Diggs is on the ticket, two old heads and two young uns, and them's enough. Eny more what wants to run will have to get on the Demyngratic ticket where there is more room. "Fact is I started gearing up $25 myself, and she as a Dummy-ocratic candidate for Council from the Forth, but by backers told me to hang around a bit and walk until next election and they would try to send me to heistshoe店 to watch the news, but I would see how things will turn out." "What do you know that is now?" asked the reporter changing the subject. "I heard," said O. T. "that Bethel Church has taken out a million dollar fire insurance policy since that yurher Bethel Church in Gawgia burn up." "You are kidding aren't you," suggested the reporter. "Well it was a half million then" said O. T. "I don't believe it" insisted the reporter. "Well it was a quarter of a million then" grudgingly admitted the old fellow, "but there was a million in it some where's, and I been tryin' to figure how any 'surance company would put all that 'surance on a church what cost only $90,000, an'" "You belong to the old generation, and you have a lot to learn from their methods' broke in the reporter. Old Timer looked dazed for a moment and then began to sputter. Before he got going good, the reporter beat a hustly retreat down the corridor leaving the old fellow holding down the Supervisor's office by himself. Were The Dectives Right? Robbery was the motive the Paris police were working on until a thorough search of the newly furnished home resulted in the discovery of this letter in the handwriting of the wife: I am going to kill my husband and then shoot myself. For three days we have been murdered, and our happiness has been such as to transcend imagination. We never conceived it possible that we could be so happy. Our happiness is so great, so very, very great it is impossible that it should continue, therefore I have resolved that we should die before either of us experiences the slightest sense of disappointment. "Murder and suicide, reason, jealousy," reads the cold, imaginative police decket, which leads in men rather than fancies. Too Big To Handle Rather than tear out part of the Municipal Courts building to provide a means of entrance for Carrie Garrett, 29 years old and weighs 496 pounds, Judge Thomas M. Cotter, in Recorder's Court accepted through her attorney the woman's plea of guilty to receiving stolen goods, Judge Cotter suspended sentence. The case against the woman was postponed about a month ago. Since then, according to her lawyer, she has gained 40 pounds and is ill at home. Her physician advised that if the woman attempted to leave home "it would require the assistance of six moving men and a van." Harry S. Toy, assistant prosecutor, said he had been informed by the superintendent of the building that it would be necessary to remove the revolving doors if the woman were brought to court and that they had no elevators large enough to take her to the fourth floor.

THE STATE SCHOOL SYSTEM By Dr. A. B. Budd Somewhere in Holy Writ, some such words as these occur. They who sow the wind shall reap the thirlwind. The appliance applies obvious. We who live and look in Maryland are destined to see and see shortly, if indeed we are not already seeing, the significance of this mandate. ... It is common knowledge of all men, that the weakest link in the chain of racial progress is the almost fatal tendency of the Negro to split up into groups, to fail to see the almost magical results of working and striving together, the white-man learned the lesson the hard way, the hard way. He had to learn it, and it is to the credit of the white man, that he learned it well. The white can and does continually abdicate the purely personal skilks, the outcroppings of envy awards his more fortunate brothers, and all-absely individualistic motions within him, to the common good of his race. ```markdown ``` Trade unions, cooperative movements, and institutions of many kinds, good, bad and indifferent prove this... But the Negro in his useful weakness is usually ready, upon the slightest provocation to use his hands against his brothers, to use his hands against his movement—but just enough. It is only to say that it is to a certain extent, perfectly natural. . It is one of the results of slavery and the slave system. The white master usually did not care to soil its hands and soul with a certain bases of that system, so the management of things was generally trusted to an overseer, of the mass, that the master called "common poor whites." These overseers as a rule built well-organized hostilities and favoritism method. Add this to the Simon Legrée type of cruelty and you have a view of its ugly thing at its worst. ```markdown ``` It has been generally understood, that this is precisely why the great educational foundations working among Negroes sought to find then possible, representatives of the old matter type, for its supervisory work in the colored schools, that REALIZED the necessity of teaching the Negro the great principal of unification not separation. --- The Negro in Maryland during the last few years, so far as the state schools are concerned has been led into exactly opposite paths. Dissension has original supreme. Rumors and tales have been set into motion and have worked and squirmed their ugly ways through every graduation of our schools."

WEST INDIANS CALL U.S.MOST BARBARIC LAND Press Indignant at Rumors of Transfer To Pay War Debt To This Country DYER BILL IS CITED Lynching and Murder Called Pastime Under 'Scars and Stripes' Grenada, P. W. L. Mar, 12 (Cruger Service)—In an editorial vitiligating with indignation at the suggestion that the population of the West Indians of Grenada charges barbarous nation in Christendom", West Indian of Grenada charges British Capitalist with ingratitude and heartlessness. The editorial follows. The very time again and again when West Indians begin to feel that the absurd question of heading over the British West Indies to the United States of America is dead and settled, we find outthreatening messages from certain persons in the United States, favoring such a proposal. "What have the people of the West Indies done, or, to put it the other way around, what have the West Indies not done to cause them to be sacrifices for the purpose of paying Great Britain's war debt? In their own way, the British West Indies added the cause of the British West Indies to be responsible proportion to the aid given by any Dominion in the Empire and it does seem end of any responsible British gentleman to pay the British West Indies should be sold and sold to the most barbarous nation in Christendom—in order to relieve British capital of the strain to be otherwise entailed in satisfying that Britain's immigrant obligation to the United State of America. "If this rehebish suggestion is persisted in, we might soon hear a proposal of handing over Canada to the US to be "within the sphere of American influence." The suggestion of selling the West Indies to the United States is one which involves tragic considerations, because the bulk of population of the US is composed mainly of colored folk, whom the Americans lynch and murder as one of the national pastimes. Just a few weeks ago the Anti-Lynching Bill, a motion passed a federal offense, was ignominiously defeated in the American Senate and Americans thereby served indemnite notice on the world that it is a great mistake to hand over Canada to the US, the tanked with civilized nations. "We represent today (in another column) a terrible article from 'The Chicago Blade' from 1915, which we apologize for featuring such articles in our columns—in order to show what of what West Indians will be up against in a temporal context. We are merely a sample of the diabolic events prevalent among the governing sections of the American people led by the Klu Klux Klan, and West Indians know all about them.

London, Eng., Mur. 16.—In a pamphlet issued by the "British Observer" in the Republic, the writer contrasts that country's with that of Nigeria, with language to the latter. The writer tells this partly on her lack of development of national spirit, and partly on her international relations being only commercial, and not intellectual. He also should depend less mentally on America and work more with the educated West Africans under the British and French flags. He then analyzes the tariff and economic conditions, and the great need for a bold constructive policy throughout the country.

Widener has acquired 13 Romerlands in his collection of famous old paintings. He paid $500,000 for the "Milk," which he acquired a few years ago. NEGRO SUPERIOR TO WHITE DuBois Writing In Smart Set Magazine Says We Are More Beautiful Both in Body And Soul New York, March 17.— Nguyen are superior to whites, asserts Dr. W, E, E. B. DuBois in an article entitled "The Superior Race" and published in the March number of "The Smart Set" magazine. Dr. DuBois is editor of the Crisis and a member of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The article is written in satirical form, as a conversation with an imaginary white friend. Hair Matter of Taste Negro's Soul Finer "Compare humanity at its best or worst with the ideal," says Dr. DuPois, "and humanity suffers. But black folk in most attitudes of physical beauty, in line and height and curve, have the same norms as whites and differ only in small details of color, hair and curve of countenance. Now can there by any question but that as colors bronze, mahogany, gold and silver are more than pink, marble? Hair is a matter of taste. Some will have it drab and stringy and others in a gray, woven, unmoving mass. Most of us like it somewhere, between, in tiny tendrils, smoking curls, in curly hair, loved all these curries in my day. I prefer the crinkly kind, almost wavy, in black, brown and glistening. In faces I hate straight features; needles and razors may be sharp—but beautiful, never." in a rolling manner of system and industrialism produced by the white man, Dr. Dubois asserts the Negro source of beauty has protected it. Nerro's Soul Finer "Art is not simply works of art; it is the spirit that knows beauty, that has music in its soul and the color of sunsets in its headwearchiefs; that can dance on a flaming hill; that makes dance, dance, dance. So is the soul of the Negro. "Why, do you know the two finest things in the industry of the West, finer than factory, shop or ship? One is the black laborers' Saturday, off. Neither the whip of the horse, nor the overreach of the horse, nor the disgust of the Yankee, nor the call of the cotton crops, has yet convinced the common black variety of plantation laborer that one day in the week is enough for rest and play. California, two days. And, California, Florida to Trinidad, he takes two days while the platter screams and curses. "They have beaten the English slavery, the French and German peasants and the North Italian contadini into twelve hour, six-day slaves. They crushed the Chinese and Indian coolie into a twenty-four-hour beast of burden; they have even made the American, free, white and twenty-one, believe that daily toil is one of the Ten Commandments. But not the Negro. From Monday to Friday the field hand is a slave; then for forty-eight golden THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 1923 hours he is free, and through these same forty-eight hours he may yet free the dumb, driven cattle of the world. "Then the second thing, laughter. This race has the greatest of the gifts of God, laughter. It dances and sings; it is humble; it hops to learn; it loves men; it loves women. It is likely, baldly, deliciously human in an artificial and hypnotic land. If you will hear men laugh, go to Guinea, "Black bottom, "Niggersown, "burleson, "Nigerian, "exquisite, too exquisite and subtle for translation, sit invisibly among a gang of Negro workers. The white world has its glibles and cruel caricatures; it has its loud guffaws, but to the extent it belongs the delicious chuckle." Whites Fear Truth The present danger to white civilization is its fear of truth, according to Dr. DuBois: "We have raised propaganda to capital "T" and elaborated an art, almost a science of how one may make the world believe that the untruth is a widely wished-for thing like the probable extermination of Negroes, the failure of the Chinese Republic, the incapacity of India for sofrule, the failure of Russian Revolution. When in other days that expected lies and consciously defended them; when the world lies today it is to a world that pretends to be true." Whereent a white friend, with whom Dr. DuBois purports to be talking, makes the following comment: "In other words, according to you, white folk are about the meanest and lowest on earth." And Dr. DuBois rejoins: "They are human, even as you and I." SOUTH BOSTON, VA. SOUTH BOSTON, VA.

TO PURCHASE A SHIP Would Raise Funds Among Colored Folk To Finance His Scheme AFRICA NEEDS MACHINERY not Use It All By R. W. Borough Los Angeles, Cal., Mar. 15—"Before the present century passes Africa—Black Africa—will develop the greatest civilization the world has ever known." With these arresting words Captain Harry Dean, descendant of a long line of African kings, delivered himself of both threat and promise. The outburst came at the end of a two-hour survey of conditions in the Liberian republic, of which the captain is unofficial representative. Africa, he declared with smouldering passion in his somber eyes, must be wrenched tree from the Caucasian explorer. Africa will be wrenched free. The grip of British imperialism in the world's subject will be smashed. Seeks Vessel The explorer is at present engaged in a campaign to raise funds for the purchase of a United States shipping board vessel to be used in commerce between Liberia and California, he maintains, would profit enormously from an interchange of goods with the African republic. He trains 50 days after I get my ship," said the captain. "I could be back in America with a cargo something like this: Four thousand five hundred tons of foodstuffs, 2000 tons of molugoy, 1000 tons of palm oil, and the balance a wide variety of goods. The dong of Liberia from which future orders might be taken. "I might bring, for instance, a pigmy hippopotamus such as we recently handed in New York, about the size of the normal animal. "Or I might bring some duiken, the miniature deer that abound in Liberia. We have them for pets on my place. They are a replicate of the ones in the museum, they stand about one foot high." "What I need I carry on the return voyage? Everything useful in social life from a dose of quinine to a tractor. We need machinery. We need tractors. We need machinery. We have to clear up our land before we can ever start to manufacture." But Captain Dean says that the ship-Liberna has not a vessel ex-commissioned, ruling off fields and smuggling goods, would have of greatest value to the republic not because of the wealth it would bring, but because of the world contacts it would establish. There has been no great people in history, he contends, without a great place to live. He would occupy an important place among the nations of the world. FAIRMOUNT:HEIGHTS FAIRMOUNT HEIGHTS, MD.

AGIOS' IN STOMACH CAUSE INDIGESTION Create Gas, Sourness and Pain. How To Treat Medical authorities state that nearly nine-tenths of the cases of stomach trouble, indigestion, sourness, burning, gas, blasting, muscles, dizziness, and anorexia are caused by an acid in the stomach and not as some believe to a pick of digestive juices. The delicate stomach lining is irritated, digestion is delayed and food sourns, causing the disgusting acidic stains which every stomach sufferer knows. Artificial digestions are not needed in such cases and may do real harm. Try laying inside all digestive aids and instead get from any drugstreet a few ounces of Blsutrant to help you feel full in a quarter glass of water right after eating. This sweetens the stomach, prevents the formation of excess acid and there is no sourness, gas or pain. The acid is not as harmful as in a tablet form — never liquid or milk) is harmless to the stomach, inexpensive to take and is the most efficient form of magnesium for stomach purposes people who are constipated with no more fear of indigestion—Adv.

Mr. Taylor has passed eight years among the barbarous tribes of the Librarian hinterland, and gives his experience with a full knowledge of the African wild. (As Told to Prosper Buranelli For the World) In West Africa the jungle lies in glom and a poisonous splendor of green. The soul of the black tribes broods in savagery and unfathomable superstitions. White men are there, some lost in the lethargy of the maelstrom land, some degraded to the present day of the natives. A mood of greed and of grotesque brutality woes and oppresses. Into this dark region came Capt. Bog Hughes of London, a very incarnation of the higher and finer world to the north. Slender and long limbed, with handsome features, clear blue eyes and a military red moustache, he stood a perfect figure of the strong, clean type of British Army. A man of English family and an honored veteran of the World War, in which he had commanded a company of the London Fuselers. I was an African Superintendent for a British Trading Company. My station was at Grand Bassa, on the Liberian shore, down toward the French Ivory Coast. Hughes got off the mail boat one day and marched into my shack. He had taken service with the company, which had sent him to work under my guidance. I gave him an eager welcome and kept him at Grand Bassa for a while. He told me of a girl, a girl back in England. They had not during in England. They had met during the war and had taken enamored of each other. She was an artist who was making the success. When he had gathered money in Africa, he would go back, and marry her. He covered the rough planks of his room in the trading shack with photographs of her and drawings she had made, funnel little sketches of children and fairies. She sent her a letter to the British government, and read the missives from her with adoring pleasure. At the River Coss, sixty miles down the coast, was a trading post that had been a disastrous one for the white agents I had sent there. It was a matter of that ancient plague, women. In Africa the native women offer draw white men into dangerous infiltrations. I remember a woman who fell in love with a black woman of the bush. She lured him into the up-country wilderness to live as a savage with her tribe. Sometimes he came down to my trading station to buy gun, came in a native johnell, with his board straggling over his chest and his skin covered with grime. He acted like a black, taken pigeon from a town to white men. The women at River Coss had caused the downfall of three successive white men who had taken command of the post. One of them would captivate a fellow and move him to employ a herde of her relations and tribes, people. These would steal capably, until the war was over. And now here was Capt. Bob Hughes, who loved his fiancée back in England well enough to resist the charms of Queen Venus. I sent him down to River Cess with a heavy cargo of beads, brass jewelry, old army uniforms, decrypt pieces of furniture, observe firearms and bottles of gum. I tamed his shack there, laid out his array of merchandise and lung his room with his sentimental photographs and drawings. There lived in a hut near the settlement a disapproving bag, Klirbrye by name. How old she was you could not toll, for she was beaten and wrinkled, as native women become at thirty. The women of River Cess were deeply learned in witchcraft, especially in magic for the assurance of men, but none else was so skillful at it. Kyle was a man of great renown among her sisters several years before by captivating and running a Dutch trader, and she had passed from one native to another with an accompaniment of stubbings and poisonings. Now she set her eyes upon the new white man and his quantities of the precious merchandise. A hot eagerness stirred in her. In the depths of night she tasted a taste in the prepared oil of love, the principal element of which was a green powder made of an herb. She went to one of the boys who did Hughes's cooking and gave him the magical powder. She would call malignant spirits upon him if he did not put the witchcraft into his master's good each day. She waited for the amorous influence to enter fully into the Hughes sat on the veranda of the trading shack. His pipe was in his mouth, a glass of gin and water stood on a table before him, a letter from the girl in England hung in his hand. Klahrie appeared before him, an amorous smile on her wized face, her body in a white cotton gown bent in a salaum. "What do you want?" Hughes growled impatiently. "I like do massa good." She spoke softly in pidgin English. "Don't bother me. Get away." "I make some witchcraft for masa—hurt massa's enemies." Hughes shouted angrily for his black assistant. "Chase this bag from here." They thrust the reluctant Klahrie from the vicinity of the shack. She knew that such violence was part of the wooing of a white man. She caused more of the love potion to be administered to Hughes and waited. Hughes was now growing moody and depressed. Gin and the other co-founder took Hughes on the mystical drug. There was no occult influence in Klahre's green herb, but there was in it a subtle, mercurial pedagogy that filled the brain to language and left the taker with weakened wit and will. Hughes was more patient with the hug when she visited him again. At sundown she came into the porch-like room—his sleeping place. He was sitting down to a meal. "Some man do massa bad," she whined. "WOW!" The thought of the man who does you evil haunts you in those wilds. "Some man—he steal—he run away—I make wickcraft—see where he go." Hughes sowled, but a vague feeling crept in him. In Africa the white man against all of his consciousness, drifts into the black man's state of mind. The endless wizard superstitions of the natives lure him arrogantly and a dim fear of witchcraft rises in him. Hughes had been told by the terrorized natives that Khirure possessed terrible powers of confuctions, and now he allowed the bag to remain in the trailing shack for an hour* She carried the bag, and formed him while he ate. She gazed curiously at the pictures on the wall, the photographs of the white girl and pretty sketches of babies and claves. After that she came daily and served Hughes with slavish attention. "That is part of the native woman's conquest of the white man. She is, by tribal custom, reared to serve men objectly, to put into their very mouths their food and drink and save them from all exertion. The white man, through drink, the climate and sarcotic love potions, sinks into a profound indulgence. He becomes dependent upon her, who ministers to his lethargy, falls into the clave. Soon Hughes passed all of his evenings with Klab, rio. What emotions stirred in him as his eye lingered on the sentimental pictures spread over the walls or when a letter came to him from the girl in England? He wrote less frequently to her now. Klahire begged Hughes to employ several of her brothers and cousins as attendants and runners. He nodded negligently. The relatives came and began a systematic stealing. Eut Hughes was of a stronger thinner than they had reckoned. He caught one of Klahire's clan pillering and his old spirit surged in him. He gave the man a savage beating and took an cath that he could not next thief he had detected. Klahire soothed him with hypercritical regrets and added attentions and sought an answer to gain the merchandise. She determined to poison Hughes. In the confusion that would follow his death her people could plunder the store. She gave him a violent poison with instantly, but he did not die or sink into a stuper. He understood that the woman had poisoned him, and in his agony had his trustworthy attendant drive her and her relatives away. Recovering a little he had the man keep an armed guard over the store, and go about his business in port. He came to Grand Bassa and I sent him on to Morroville, where there was a white physician. In a week he was at Grand Bassa again. He was gloomy and morose and raved with curses against the big Kabirie. He told me what he had occurred to him and wrote a long and emotional letter to the girl in England, excluding the recent infrequency of his epistles to her. I reasoned that he had had a bitter and profound lesson and now was surely turned into ice for the native seducesresses. I sent him the Cess, his deputy, but his depression increased. He set in long periods of breaching silence, drinking and gazing from the photographs of the smiling white girl to the mercy whimsical drawings beside them. Kabirie did not regard the man as host to her. She appeared before the trading shack with her fawning, courting smile. Hughes glared at her wildly. It was love for her that Glasses if Needed made at Lowest Price had been gnawing at him and now it flamed into insanity. He called Klahrie. Again that afternoon she served him with her slave-like ministrations. Hughes took her back, but she watched his food sharply, so that she might not poison him again. She had no design to poison him now. He had not died from the drug—he must have some freewheel witchcraft or a while she was content with gifts that she could beg from him, but then her greed inspired her to a plan of subtle craft. She could not kill Hughes. She would win him to savagery. She would take him and the store of merchandise to the bush of the un-country.

Because the sun sets on them every night. What is the most difficult key to Klaharie introduced the white man into the grotesque rites of her witchcraft. She brought him a second wife and a third, and presided over a barbarous establishment at the trading post, with herself in the dignity of the first wife and Hughes sunk into the majestic and helpless sloth of a savage chief. She took him among her people and included him into their tribal mysteries and ceremonies. Many Hughes, Klaharie, and other wives went into the up-country, among the Grecob people, with whom Klaharie's folk were affiliated, to live for periods of days in the primeval simplicity of the tribes. During such sojourns Hughes discarded his European attire for the join-cloth of the natives, spoke the diadect of Klaharie's clan, and adopted the biblical mode of the black Klaharie Increased the number of his womens and founded a "wife village" for him in the jungle, such as natives have who follow trade in the towns on the coast. Hughes's incursions into the bush increased in frequency and duration. One day a runner came to Grand Bassa from Cess River with these tidings. "White man—he go in bush—take all stuff—store clean out." It was true. I went down to Cess River, but could learn nothing save that Hughes had gone up into the distant Grebe country. I reported the affair to the company in London. Two letters came for Hughes from his dance. I sent them to the company. The company forwarded my report to Hughes' father. The old man, in bitter grief, wrote to me asking whether he should come down to Africa to try to rescue his son. I replied that there seemed small hope of ever finding Hughes. Eighteen months after the man's disappearance, I took a long journey into the interior. In a town a chief told me that in a neighboring village lived a white man. I went over to this place to see who the fellow might be. I walked throught it out to me, and a white man was squatted on the floor. He wore a loin-cloth. Several black wives were in the but. At first I did not know him, he was so whinkled and emaciated. As he stared at me in sullen recognition, I saw it was Hughes. I spoke to him. Why had he allowed himself to sink to this degradation? Did he purpose remaining a savage? He replied with more rebelliousness of "don't know." Klahro came in. She spoke to me with grimening nausea. Why did she not ask? Wasn't he friend? Did I want to see him without any valuables? I turned away in anger. In a corner I saw a photograph of the bright faced girl in England. From the girdle of one of the half-naked wives there hung, as if it were a fetish, a faded drawing in blue and pink of Cupid, and a dainty little meldens. Soon after my return to the coast, I heard from a runner that Klahro had abandoned Hughes for a native who gave her many trinkets. The still enamored white man had tried to get her back. The native had killed him with a knife. You Can Cure Your Rupture Capt.

One of the female members of the church saw them and told the pastor. In the midst of his sermon the pastor stopped and rushed for the door.

Q—Will it harm in little girl, 7 years old, to eat b autes? A—It is not advisable to give bananas to a child as young as your little girl. Wait for at least another year before including these in her diet. E. H. Q—Will you please tell me what causes tiny red veins to appear on the thighs and what to do for them? A—This condition is rather com- mon to women and is usually due to prolonged standing. Apply hot wethband to the affected parts. B. Q—Some time ago I sprained my thum and the joint is still swollen. Will you kindly tell me what to do for this swelling? A—First, make sure it is a sprain and not a dislocation. Apply hot cementations to your thumb and then paint it with redine daily. P. A. W. Q—Will you please tell me what would cause dizziness on rising from bed? A—This might be due to a variety of causes, which are constipation, indigestion, high blood pressure, kidney trouble or eye strain. An examination is necessary to determine what is causing your trouble, then treatment can be prescribed by your doctor. D. S. Q—For the last four weeks I have been troubled with ingestion of my eyes. I have applied boric acid to them, but it does not help. What would you advise me to do? A—Undoubtedly you are suffering from eyestrain, and should therefore consult an eye specialist. To an ounce of boric acid solution add 30 drops of adrenaline. Drop a few drops of this into your eye three times a day. Smokeless Hot Cakes Instead of using grease on the griddle when making hot cakes for breakfast, just pare a potato or a turnip—either one is good—pit over the griddle and cut off a thin slice each time the griddle is filled with hot cakes.

I will try and keep shaved and my hair cut so this will not occur again. Respectly Rabbi Wise doesn't believe the Ten Commandments were engraved by God on the tablets of stone handed to Moses. History records our desagag was known to the Egyptians before the time of Moses and that the Egyptians got it from the Babylonians.

We felt we never could accumulate enough money to buy a home outright. But when houses were scarce as could be and rentes were high, we had a sudden offer that seemed a release from the worries that beset us. Neighbors near us were hurrying to California for reasons of health. They offered their home at a sacrifice. It was partly modern, of fair size, and in a good neighborhood. They asked $2,500 for it, $500 cash and $20 a month at 6 per cent. We had that much money as an emergency fund, but used it now to buy this house. We have now lived in it five years, added a few improvements and planted trees, vines and shrubs just where we wanted them. We shall have it paid for in a few years now, and we could sell it at any time if we cared to. But for those who have no money to invest, the building and loan associations are a help. They take a mortgage and payments are made in monthly installments. It seems a slow way, but at the end of 6 or even 10 years you have something to show for your money. It hasn't been eaten up in rentals, and very precarious salary, learning to do without many things we had once thought we really needed. But a home is so satisfactory when it is all your own. It grows deeply into your life, as if it were itself a living thing. It is the place the children come back to. Perhaps after years of absence, their thought of that house becomes the door of welcome is always open to them—world weary, ill or beaming with success and happiness. A home—your own home—is different from any other place on earth. M. A. A Man's Love Letter This is a copy of a married man's letter; "Dear Wife—The job ends Friday. Expect me Saturday p. m. Darn these out-of-town jobs. These three weeks have seemed like a year without you and my boy. Tell him that dad has four jack-rabbit skin for you to make him laugh. No news here about you, by letter, but I will have plenty to tell you. This little old check will hold three fat figures and that helps some. Seems like home is best, wife, and the only place for a man to be after supper. With lords of love to my two wives, love letter should express love, confidence and remembrance. It may be written by a man to a maid, or by a man to his wife. Easy Way to Clean Silver Silver may be cleaned easily and economically with the water in which potatoes have been boiled.

She offers the following suggestions, which our Annie Roney does not approve of. Don't be afraid to lead a man on — it won't make him consider you bold. Don't imitate other girl's methods — it isn't method, it's magnetism that wins. The "clinging vine" of the Victorian age is known as a "bone-head." Don't be self-conscious. Charm is as important today as ever it was. There is nothing instringingly imperial in kissing. minimoral in kissing. Every man, in hi- heart, thinks he's a Prince Charming and likes to be encouraged in this belief. My First Beau Out of a haze of little bow-tied fellows who carried my pink parasol and held my hand when I cried, there is one, more persistent than the rest, who was really my first small beau. They had nicknamed him "Hubby," and I became "Wifey," when he allowed no one but himself to turn my jumping rope. He had two dependable little fists that kept rivals safely away and kept me in a satisfactory subdued condition. One day when he came to take me to the library, I suddenly realized that truly grown man had a way of walking out of the out of the walk when with ladies. Painfully I knew that "Hubby" neither knew nor cured, so I broke the engagement. But the affair really came to a close when "Hubby," after embarrassing me by telling a neighboring minister, "we will need you very soon." wrote a 19 page letter declaring his admiration and fondness for me. We are be "more than friends of affection" died. "This overload of affection was wasted on me. I gave my jumping rope to some one else to turn.

Beauty Balms Milk baths, lemon lotions, and other mild skin bleaches are quite effective and can be used with positive results in restoring the wind-seared skins of winter. When you begin the bleaching process of either of these methods I advise the use of the face packs to complete the treatment. For refining the complexion, reducing enlarged pores and supplying fresh blood to aid in carrying off impurities there is no better method. You may prepare your own facepack by mixing four tablespoons of precipitated chalk with one tablespoon of witchhazel and enough warm water to make a thick paste. After steaming the face, spread this mixture over the face, neck and chest and allow it to dry slowly for 20 minutes then gently remove by applying warm water, give a final rinse in cold water and witchhazel, which acts as an astringent to close the pores. Examine your complexion in your mirror and you will be delighted with the wonderful results of transforming a coarse skin into one of the smooth texture—Try this once a week. My next article—Proper massage far sagging facial muscles. Games For Children Cut these instructions from the Afro cook week. Many more are to follow. In the end you will have a whole book for a dull evening. "I SEE" 1. Teacher begins by saying: "I see something that is red" (or "green," or "blue.") The children in turn guess what it is. The winner then chooses something, etc. 2. Same game but with "I see something made of iron." etc. 3. Same game but with "I see something made of wood." etc. 4. Same game but with "I see something, the first letter of which is 'a'" (for example, "apron") and the children guess in turn what it is. The child who guesses correctly chooses something (it might) beginning with letter "b" (for example, "book" or "blotter"). Each time the winner chooses some article beginning with the next letter of the alphabet. NOTE:—This game (1) trains little children to notice colors; (2) and (3) trains them to distinguish materials; and (4) helps them to make a game of words in either English or Spanish.

Yet one is fortunate to have a mother-in-law. If for any reason newly-weeds do live with mother-in-law, and if mother-in-law can forget that her child is no longer her own, but belongs to another, if she can remember her own newly-wed days, if she can remember that she is living in a new day, if she can advise only when sought, if she can adjust herself to the situation, then mother-in-law is indeed a blessing. L. M. L.—Washington, D. C. While there are some specific cases where the mother-in-law should be in the home of the newly-weeded, fact governed by statistics make it easy to say that generally mother-in-law are a very trouble-makers. Some deliberately set out to make trouble, others whose love for their own makes them selfish and forgoful of the fact that their loved one is only a part of a whole; some innocently drop little remarks that being daily, feed upon causes for breaks. The best thing in the world for newly-weds besides love, is an entirely new environment and visits from relatives of any sort until the newly-weds are pretty well acquainted with each other's idiosyncrasies—Willie C.

Now Orleans, March 18—Trial marriages in Louisiana were given judicial approval by Judge F. K. Skinner in the Civil District Court today. Couples may now marry and quit when they get ready, provided they have an understanding that it is to be a trial marriage before the ceremony takes place. Nothing more than an application to court by one of the contracting parties is required for the annulment, according to the court. The decision came in connection with the application of Miss Valine Rogers, 18 years old, who said she was married to Leon Russo Tissé last October with the understanding that he was to be given her freedom within a year if she found they were not suited to each other. Immensely after her petition he been obligated to abstaining there had been an agreement regarding his wife if she desired.

One was a beautiful tan taffetts and the other is a green satin. Both had simply fallen to pieces. In fact, the tan dress was worn by three times.

Inspite of the rain, they needed a packed house, and in the loft and a quarter the show was the "Ford" gas near the close was the only approach to the sug- gestive. The elimination of this bit would necessarily improve the show. The company only numbered each body. Bath Roscoe and Michael were under cook, and Emma Johnson played the lead, with Eugenia Henderson as a fourth singer. Others were Bernice Montello, Bessie Williams, Ezzie Smith and Marie Jefferson.

'PLANTATION DAYS' OFF TO LONDON First Colored Theatrical Company To Go Abroad Since William & Walker Ly J. A. Jackson When the Red Star Line Steamer Finland, sailed from pier 58 North River. New York on March 3, it had on board the members of the first big Negro company that has gone aboard since the days of Williams and Walker. The Greenwald and O'Neil "Plantation Days" Co. sailed under contracts to appear at Sir Alfred Butts. Palace Theater in conjunction with a big English production, and in a specially established after theater summer place. Some difficulties in connection with a suit against the trumpet for alleged infringement on "Shuffle Along" material or numbers delayed the departure for a week. In connection with this, Leonard Harper of the team of Harper and Blanks, who are starring the show, said that the whole misunderstanding grew out of some staging of effects done against his wishes by a former stage director of the show who had held a similar position with the "Shuffle" show. He greatly regretted the circumstances and feels that he is being held responsible for a breach of ethics the blame for which is not properly his. The M. S. Bentham agency negotiated the contracts for the trip for the DeCourville interests of London. The stay will be indefinite. Other of the forty in the party were Josephine Carter the blues singer, George Dasha, Bert Hall, J. Johnson, the musical director and composer, the Silvercross, Leonard Jackson, C. A. Rivers and Sterling Grant. The dancing boys were Archie Weaver, Harry Irons, Raymond Thomas Clifford Comez. Billie Rickman, Marion Conmez. Florence Brown, Ethel Duke, Susy B. Brown, Bernice Wilson, Helen Wright, Peggy Burnett, Addington Major, Jarnell Howard, Will Beard, R. Curry, Jerry Sudler, John Bossey-Frank Woods and the William Stepton, a New Orleans cook with a great culinary history went along to cook for the troupe and to teach London some of the southern dishes. James F. Godman advises that the "Impetition Days" Revue, and Godmans Colored singers will begin their lyric tour on April 23. Mr. Godman is preparing to expand his bookings and send out some more ground this summer. "The Tille Johnson company is A-1, the people well dressed on stage and street, and they bring the public something it likes" says Willie Walls of the Lafayette Theater, Winston-Salem, Roxie Caldwell, Evelyn Cox, Lena Lynch, Willie Glover, Mr. Lynch, and Tille Johnson are members of the company of which he speaks. AMUSEMENT PARKS By J. A. Jackson Titus Town, Norfolk Norfolk boasts of Baileys Park, out in Titustown where John T. Bailey has a completely equipped place of outdoor amusement. If you don't believe it, ask any of the National Negro Business Men's League who are attending the event, or identify twenty barrels of blue points in one afternoon there. He can use both stage and outdoor acts and concessions. The same may be said of Lem Brights Little Bay Beach. Lem is contemplating a lot of improvement in the seawater access at Bay Shore Hotel and Park complete the trifo of outdoor places at the Virginia Tidewater. Crescent Park, New Orleans The Crescent City Park in New Orleans confines its amusement to a dance hall with an occasional concert, a picture theater, and to local baseball and similar sports. Greenwood Park, Nashville Greenwood Park in Nashville, the property of Dr. Preston Taylor is one of the most completely equipped parks, the Page has ever seen. Dr. Taylor and his wife are otherwise interested tho, and except for the casual use of the promises for a lodge or church picnic, do not bother with it. It offers an alluring chance for the Negro amusement promoter who might obtain control of it. Hampton Park, Ohio The Hampton Amusement Co. of Akron, Ohio, opened a new park at stop 81 on the electric line from that city. How it fared, we have been unable to learn, but it will re-open again this year. Burns Grove, Illinois Burns Grove at Gatesburg, Ill. is similar in that it is a recently opened place upon which we have been unable to obtain in any report. Paradise Lake, Michigan Parisie Lake, in Vandalia, Mich., is a 57 acre tracing containing a number of cottages adjacent, all occupied by Negro summer resort patrons from Chicago, Detroit and other lakeside cities. Idlewild Park nearby is of the same type. These two places present something unique for the purveyor of amusement to Negroes, they have a property owning point of more than ordinary intelligence and with money enough to gratify their desires. Purveying to their amusement will be a nice trick with profit for those who can turn it. Lincoln Gardens, Chicago The Community Recreation Paradise Gardens and Lincoln Gardens in Chicago, are three city amusement spots with music and dancing as the special highlight and Edmonds Park in Kansas City are the same sort of spots. So is Leaks Lake in Los Angeles. Suburban Garden, D. C. The big park of the race is the Suburban Garden in Washington, a beautiful hillside project of ambitious size in the Northeast section of the capital city at 500th and Hayes streets. After about a year's wrangling among the directors, the place is about ready to make some real money out of the magnificent plant. It is equipped with an immense auditorium large enough to house a show with any size, of for a dozen shows. A scenic Railway, Aerial Swing, Whip, Ferris Wheel and Merry-go-round and dolg-em are the rides installed. No less than a dozen concosseus were probably operated there last season. Archibald M. Pickett, 748 Howard street, is the executive director. THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 1923 A Jappyland Park, N. Y. After the failures that grew out of the dismissions among the directors of Jappyland Park in New York, and Dan Michaels opening of the Mid-City park in Harlem New York. Negro district, it is a question whether there will be a park in the district this season or not. Still Dan is optimistic and his spring snowmaking in the way of a Harlem river site very soon. The light for pre-eminence among the West Indian brothers who promoted Jappyland cost them their location, for a garage is now under construction on part of their original location. Lynnhaven Park, Georgia At Savannah, Ga., there is W. J. Burnys Lynn Hayen Park at a suburb called Sandfly. He can work every sort of attraction. The same is true of Lincoln Park operated by W. J. Whitman with an office at 117 Broad street. Beach Hammock is another park in the vicinity. We are without information concerning the extent of its location. In Waycross, Ga., Miss Carrie Pate operates Central Park with a long season. She is at 936 Oak street. Lincoln Park, Alabama In Sheffield, Ala., E. H. Fields is said to continue in charge of Lincoln Park, a street railway property, that has patronage from three nearby towns and the Government Nitrate Plant. Muscle Shoals. One of the unusually fine-paired parks of Paterson's Brooklyn Park at Mobile, Ala., is reported to be an unusually well patronized institution. Tommy Harris of the Russo Hockwald Georgia Minstrels with Bob Edmunds and others of the company were the features of the play, which was recently in San Francisco, under the applies of the Examiner. Opal Cooper and the "Five Red Devils" who have long been the pet musical sensations of Paris, have come back to the city old age. They will probably tour with Will Marion Cook and the Clet Club.

Jackson "Shuffle Along" opened at Stroudsburg, Pa., on March 27, going from three to Waterbury, Conn., after which it was booked into the Lafayette Theater, N. Y., for the weeks of March 12 and 19. This is the second company playing this piece put out by George Wintz, who bought the roid rights of the piece. His other company is in the southwest after a highly profitable tour of the South. The original show is in the middle west cities. So the latency states anticipate by some few weeks the return of the original show for two weeks in the bronze prior to its sailing for Europe. The new show features Whitney and Tutt and Dink Stewart in the principal roles. Other principals are Alma Daniels, the college trained singer, Izzy Hinggol, the college Cook, Juline Paine, Elizabeth Campbell, Paul Bass, Louis Schooler, Joe Purnell, George Duke and Harold Alexander. A chorus of 23 people and a band of eight artists completes the show which Mr. Wintz has equipped with other companies as the other companies lay. --- While playing Washington, recently, W. Henry Bowman, owner and star of the "Cotton Blossoms was initiated into the mysterious of Scottish Rite Masonry by the Jonathan Davia Consistory, No. 1, of that city. Oh, well he was a Prince anyhow, but did not know it before. Incidentally Julia Reese joined the company in that city. The II Sirrat Grotto of Cleveland, Ohio, purchased the Harvey Minstrels outright for four nights, week of Feb. 12, and presented the show at the Masonic Auditorium in that city. It was the first group of colored performers ever to play in that structure. The Akerman and Harris circuit are billing Johnson and Heading next to the headliner in all the advantage bills on which they appear. Fernando Robinson, of the Brown's Synaptic Orchestra, has a new set of traps and the Stuevenville organization is going to break them in when they play a radio concert on March 25. The bunch, all of whom play more than one instrument are becoming quite famous and Milton Brown, director is preparing to take them touring. The Knickerbocker Building and Loan Asso. 1137 N.

Jackson When Billy Sunday, a Methodist evangelist, Father F帧an Flagan, a Catholic priest, the Elks, and the Shriners, to say nothing of the state Fair officials give their endorsement to a musical organization, the rest of the country may well sit up and give their support, it is informed that these men have a colored band, the surprise is still greater. Yet the facts remain just as substantial. The Dan Desunes First regiment concert band of Omaha, Neb. organized by an ex-ministral musician with show shop intelligence, has a record of which organization might well be proud. For twelve years they have been provincial county, state and district falls in Nebraska and adjoining states. For that length of time they have been a standard attraction everywhere The San Antonio Inquirer of Feb. 24, had a scorching editorial of ten inches on the need of sup- porting the Colored owned theater, that should be reprinted in most of the papers of the race. When Brother Boulin writes, he writes to the point. Tag Hartgraces writes from 2747 Chippewa street St., Louis, Mo., to state that he is doing a single over the R. J. Weber circuit with Miles Davis at the plano. He sends regards to a gang of folks, including Bob Slater. On March 14, Boots Hope played Lowry's American Theater, with a very big prospect of getting a long time contract over the circuit. Mrs. Augustine of 20 Greenwich Park, Boston, Mass., is the most recommended stopping place that has come to our notice. Aaron and Kelly, Grille and her Dandies, Nonie Burke and Gonzelle White Co. all have put their O. K. on the house. Now comes Boots Marshall and Justa. Billy McLaurens "Speedmakers" now number twelve are in the south doing nicely, Raymond J. Wallace has rejoined the show. With him came Hazel Wallace and little Dora, Tillie Marshall, Maggie Caswell, and Peoples and Peoples are being featured. Johnnie Lee Long with his "Shi-Shi-Shu," including Happy Winbush J. C. Davis and the rest are in the North. They played Indianapolis the last week of February, and may even make New York according to some mail we have peeped into. Stop Your Fits Others are doing it.
