HAWKINS DIES ON GALLOWS REGISTER! BISHOP VERNON SEEKS MISSING $15,000 FUND Money Appropriated for African Missions Unlawfully Held by Others Is Claim SENSATION IS CREATED Bishop Declares Next Conference Will Witness Revolution or Reformation Bishop Vernon charges 1—Bishop W. W. Beckett is unlawfully withholding $5,000 given two years ago for mission work in Africa. 2—That Bishop Beckett only spent one month out of four years in Africa when assigned there. 3—That Bishop Beckett now assigned to an American field is crippling the African work. 4—That there will be a reformation or revolution at the next conference. 5—That John R. Hawkins, denominational financial agent, is unlawfully holding $10,000 appropriated four years ago for African work. Bishop Beckett telegraphed the Afro today from Brooklyn that he was preparing a lengthy answer to Bishop Vernon's charges, which would be printed in the church organ. JOHN R. Hawkins in WASHINGTON 'phoned the AFRO that he would not discuss the subject. "I won't make it a newspaper case" he said. Philadelphia, Ia., April 3.—Where is the $15,000 appropriated by the A. M. E. Church for work in Africa? Missionary ladies of the denomination that that $5,000 of it had been sent to Bishop W. T. Vernon in charge of the A. M. E. Church in South Africa. Members of the denomination that he had also received $10,000 appropriated by the last General Conference for the South African work. Has Not Received A Penny In a letter to the Christian Recorder, official journal of the denomination last week, Bishop Vernon denies receiving a penny of this sum during the nearly three years he spent in South Africa for returning home, ill for recovery, the money to carry on the work, Bishop Vernon said, it was withheld.

"Relative to the money I collected to build the church in Cape Town, South Africa. I now am interested in a Trust Company and will be available until April 1921. I do not see the necessity of making such a desperate effort to collect that which has already been collected? Which is about one fourth or less of the amount required to do work. When this money is available it will be turned over to the Missionary Society from which I received it." Bishop Vernon declared Bishop Beckett suggested privately that the latter be allowed to hold the money. Hawkins Holds $10,000 Similarly Bishop Vernon charges John P. Hawkins, financial secretary of the denomination with offices in Washington with holding up and refusing to pay out $10,000 appropriated by the church at the last General Conference for South African Missions. Not only did he fail to receive any of this money while in Africa, Bishop Vernon says, but "He has given me first one excuse and then another." Mr. Hawkins besides being an anual secretary of the church is also connected with one of the D.C. hawks. Flays Absenteeism Referring to Bishop Beckett's absenteeism while on the South African field, Bishop Beckett said "Men who are unwilling to go or who are unwilling to stay and perform their duties in mission fields ought not be permitted to hamper those who are willing to go and stay . . . . . . . . . .

A float of life will leap anew When Spring unveils her variant hue And gorgeous blossoms upward start. And you—for noble deeds renowned— With heart coined of the purer gold— With many virtues manifold— That holy heritage have found. While we, bereaved and troubled, stand And strain our eyes to tear the goal: Of your imperishable soul— Ah! how we miss your guiding hand! Yet though in sorrow thus we part A day shall come with joy replete. When we again, dear father, shall peer And in his hope, to us so dear, We will bide the coming of the day Nor bid the fleeting hours stay Until the final call we hear. And as we grope here in the night Your life, a mule episode. Will keep us steadfast on the road That leads to God's eternal light. THE FAMILY. WILSON—In sad but loving remembrance of our dear mother, Mary M. Wilson, who departed for life one year ago, April 6, 1232. The angels came, and near came When mumma sick did die, And gently touched her faded cheek, And pointed to the sky. The moon was sad and dreary, The April winds blew free, The angels spread their silvery wings. And whispered, come with me. No bitter tears had she to shed. No sins to be forgiven. But close her loving eyes in death, To open them in Heaven. Her loving HUSEAND and CHILDREN We gathered round her dying bed With hearts to weep and pray And many were the tears we shed When our friend passed away. Mrs. Alethia Mitchell-Bowen, an old Baltimore an. died in Atlantic City at the residence of her sister, Mrs. Ridley and was buried from Madison St. Presbyterian Church on Wednesday.

Albert Johnson Rev. Monroe H. Davis and Rev. John S. Collins May Head Conference Plans for bringing Bishop W. W. Beckett of Mississippi to the Second Episcopal District, to replace Bishop J.

Gaines, pastor of Trinity, and a present leader of the conference. It is also elevated to the bishopric at the General M. E. Conference in May 1924. Ministers are preparing now for the Baltimore-Annual Conference which will be held at Trinity A. M. E. Church beginning the last week in this month. One of the chief features of his conference, will be the election of delegates to the General Conference scheduled for next year. One of the states for delegates proposed is said to consist of Rev. A. L. Gaines, Rev. Monroe Davis Rev. John S. Collins, Rev. O. R. Yates, Rev. James D. Douglas, Rev. Fred Douglass. With the election of Rev. Gaines to the bishopric, it is expected that his mantle of leadership will fall upon Rev. Mr. Davis who will direct church affairs on the Western Shore and Rev. John Collins, who will direct affairs on the East Shore. This plan goes then it is said, effect will be then made to secure Bishop Beckett for this district.

J. K. Nebon. It is said he will be transferred to Carroll, Md. OWENS DENIES BIBLE AND BACKS PICKENS (Crusader Service) New York, April 5—Presenting the storm of disapproval evoked from many ministers throughout the country by the sentiments contained in his article in the February Messenger in which he disavows belief in a material Hell and in most of the fundamental beliefs of Christians. Dean Pickens promises to repudiate for orthodoxy the magazine. That the Dean is not alone in his views is proved by the statement of Chandler Owen, editor of The Messenger, in the March issue in which he boldly states that "We accept no Bibles or creeds." Mr. Owen, whose dislike is even more scowling and general than that of Pickens, declares a belief in a biblical God is scheduled to speak on "Is Savior Really Free?" as one of many radical subjects he will deal with.

Hulcs (Special Correspondence— Crusader Service) Norfolk, Va.. April 5—More than 6,000 persons of both races jammed their way into the City Hall Armory here last week, at the initial program of the Norfolk Lyceum Association. Several thousands were turned away as early as 8.30 for lack of even standing room. Charles Satchel Morris, Jr. del- ivered the principal address and saw "The worst enemy that the race has is the cringing, subser- vent Negro, who knows no secrets and can keep none." His ways are dark with sticks vain. Our people must rise superior to him and crush him by enlightened public sentiment that teaches the essential manhood of the man."

McCa A Movement for a Second of Man To Begin the Baltimore Citizen's Campaign for CARDINAL GIBBON'S MEMORIAL INSTITUTE For Colored Youth Featuring an Excellent Musical Program, and the following Speakers: "I took Herbs of Life because I suffered with pains in my sides all the time. I can't remember just how long I suffered, but it was for sometime. One day I was talking to Rev. Hawley's wife, and I told her how I was feeling and she said she had been just like I was with pains and nervous troubles, and she took Herbs of Life, Double Strength, and it cured her. So then I went and got some, and I certainly recommend it for it is good. Whenever I see any woman who is sick I try to get her to take Herbs of Life." The above testimonial is from Mrs. Grace Bailey, the well-known wife of Mr. C. K. Bailey, head of the Piano Plant bearing his name. Her residence is in the Albermarle Apartments.

SENATOR BORAH EXPLAINS VOTE AGAINST COHEN (Continued From Page One) stated to the Senate that he was personal offensive and when resigned if that was on ground of color, they stated that it was not upon that ground; that is to say, that regardless of the question of color he would be persecuted. "After some discussion of the matter I asked that I should this rule a very bad rule and that it ought to be abrogated, that it did not think any man would be freely merely because he might be personally offensive to some Senate, that the matter should turn upon the man or demons, of the man rather than the man's relations with some individual. But since a rule was here and since it had been universally controlled since I had been in the army, unwilling to deny the Senate from Lance, I sighed however, that if the Senate would shoulder the burden to and end it once and for all, that I should ready to vote for Mr. Colen. RESOLUTION INTRODUCED "This suggestion upon my part seemed to meet with very general approval at first. Those of us who call this way about it finally introduced a production abbreviating the rule.

In view of that, I am not as to what took the Executive session, I am not free in stating really what I said. I repeat here that I think the rule on unwise one, I stand ready, and I stand ready to advance it to the Senate and to even apply it spatially, or sectionally, or be of political exigency."

He said: "Under the rules of the Senate I am not at liberty to disobey the confirmation. May I influence the source of your information?" "I may, however, without violating any rule, say to you that whatever action was taken, so far as I am concerned, would not have been any different under similar circumstances had the appointment under my person other than Mr. Cohen.

O Spencer, of Morgan College spoke on the relation of religion to racial contact. Racial prejudice, war and economic oppression is the triple-headed monsters before which religion has stood helpless. While here and there outstanding men and women have applied the doctrines of Jesus Christ to the solution of racial problems, the church in this country and especially in the South has not even pretended to do so. In fact the world-wide orgy of racial prejudice, international brigandage and butchering in war would have been impossible if leaders of men who profess to call themselves followers of Christ had emulated His example of facing Calvary rather than condone the unjust treatment that men mete out to men. Measuring Educational Efficiency. If we take into consideration the number of boys and girls entering our schools and compare it with the number graduating, we get some idea of the great imperfection of our present machinery designed to bring human beings to proper maturity. It is estimated that only one out of every twenty boys and girls who enter the first grade complete the high school course. The modern community must adopt more practical means of securing educational efficiency. This means we must take into consideration the relation between the raw material in the form of boys and girls and the finished product in the form of properly TRAINED and GUIDED young men and women. For some cause the educational factory is WASTING too much raw material. If we were raising cattle or making we handles we would check this waste. Let's find a way to check some of it among human beings. Daylight Saving.

NEGRO ARTISTS NOT WANTED IN LONDON Hannen Swaffer Bitterly Opposes Engagement Of Florence Mills And Her Revue. CALLS PLAYERS IGNORANT English Writer Shows Amazing Ignorance Of Our Stage Progress (Hannen Swaffer in Daily Graphic, London, Enf., Mar. 6, 1924) The all-black courier which staged at the Empire, is to be the great attraction of the Darker London season, will be as black as night. (Florence Mills Plantation Revue from N. Y.) Indeed, Robert Law, the scenic artist who is to paint a plantation scene so that niggers can act in front of it, said yesterday that they are even bringing over a black cook! So "Aunt Jackie Virginia, the Cool Black Jimmy Virginia, will make waffles which he said, "You could eat forever, and still want more." Imported Black "We think it would be a disgrace to both theatrical and music-hall performers if permission were granted to exploit imported black men and women in this way" said Variety Artists Federation, "while hundreds of talented British artists are on the verge of want through lack of funding." "Three, 2,000 variety artists are unemployed in England," said Mr. Voyce, "and the stories I hear every day are heart-rending. When employed, these artists earn anything from £10 a week to £100 a week; but so bad is the shortage of money in England, than so than in France, which used to employ from four variety acts are now saving money by showing second-class pictures instead. No Objections to White Americans "We have no objections to American artists coming to England. In fact, ninety per cent of those who come here join us. There are also in England negro turns, who behave themselves and keep their place. But we view with the greatest apprehension a rabent where black artists would actuate mix with white folk at the same time enough here, now without bringing over any more foreign turns which will make our labor market even worse than it is. The Nigger Problem I did not speak to many managers about the nigger problem, because most of them are very cautious when entertainment policy is discussed. But J. K. E. Brown, Grossmith and J. K. E. Brown who is responsible for the all-black revue Still Along" eighteen months ago. But he would never dream of being black artists over to England. "I am surprised anybody has thought of it" he said. Film producers won't have negroes in the film industry, "One Eskimo Night," the new Griffith film to be produced at the New Oxford Theatre on Thursday has a negro part. So Griffith cast Porter Strong a white man for the part and made him black his face. Negroes do not appear in films, but only as waiters or a very mild White actors would not act with them for one reason and for another there are no Negro actors of ability. They haven't enough intelligence. No white woman film actress would act in a scene where a negro had to touch her, or to make love to her, and if she did the film would be too revolting to show. Even the black in the "Loves of Pharoh," the German show, are really white. Nigger Revues "You are right and I am with you in your attack on nigger revues," said a big film man. "I hope that any man who tries to foil black revues on the British public while white artists are are will lose his money, is lowering the standard of entertainment." The Negroes produced one good actor, Bert Williams. But he's deal'd now," said an American, stavine at the Savoy Hotel. "He was likeked because he knew his place and not make himself aggressive. I like Negroes—as servants and as workers—but not as actors. Why have Negro actors when so many white people ca' act so much better. Note.—This is part of a bitter campaign that is being carried on to keep colored entertainments from being engaged in the London theatres and other places of amusement, having it's genesis in the great success that such organizations as Will Marion Cook's orchestra and other musicalizations have achieved in London and other European cities since the first incidentally, to head off it possible, the threatened invasion of "Shuffle Along", Florence Milk and the Plantation Revenue and one or two other big all-colored musical revues. Many Negroes in Movies As to his charge concerning the employment of Negroes in the movies, he even shows deeper ignorance. A great number of Negroes have appeared on the films in support of white players, and they played important roles too. Among these, the most prominent is Noble Johnson, who as we recall, played the chief "villian" in a number, that of a Mexican, in another of pictures; played the star played "Friday" the second principal role in "Rohinson Crane" and before any, of the beginning, he played a leading role with Marie Walcamp and his earlier, where he got pushed her, but we remember that on at least one occasion, he rescued her and carried her in his arms.

The Government realizes a large increase its excise department. Public advertisements about Johnnie Walker, Old Toni, King George IV, whiskey etc are exhibited on the railway station walls and published in newspapers and fuel to the flame, the Madras Electric Tramway Company advertises Reechive Brandy on their tickets, one of which I send you herewith. It is really smart how European Christians import the damnable liquor to non-Christian India when the people are for ages total abstainers. Pussyfoot Johnson's visit to India, sens to have done no good at all, "Can any good come out of Nazareth? We come from the Christianity of Europeans, but give us the unadulterated notion of the Christ Jesus. This Reader Comments Singing Of Post-Office Glee Club To the Editor: Kindly allow me small space in your valuable paper to state my appreciation for the high class music given to the Baltimore public by the Post-Office Glee Club. In their appearance before the public this season in recital and sacred concert they have maintained a standard but has ever reached in this city by a male and these young men need encouragement in order that Baltimore may compare with Washington and other cities. I have been guilty like many others of knocking the young people for their inactivity and indifference but I am glad I can give credit to them when they do something worth while "appreciative." Why A Wedding Ring? Why does a man slip a ring on the finger of he woman who becomes his bride? Why is a ring the universal symbol used at weddings. And what is it a symbol of? The origin of the wedding ring is wrapped in obscurity. In ancient Egypt, before the time of the coinage, gold money was made in the form of a ring, and the fingers of a man's hands were his most convenient bank. He wore his money. When an enamored swalf' slipped one of these money rings on his bride's finger he did it to symbolize that he gave her not only himself but his fortune. He meant, in fact, just what the modern bridegroom mean when he says in the Bible, "the wing at the altar." With all my worldly goods I three endow." The styles today are hands of gold or platinum, plain or engraved, for wedding rings, and solitaire or cluster rings of any kind of gems, preferably diamonds or pearls, for engagement rings. --- Just Say 'Toot' "TUTS" Name In Egyptian In its unflentling pursuit of information, the "Afro" obtained the proper pronunciation of Tut-Ankh-Amen's name. Our authority is Dr. Frederick Elden, Egyptologist of Northwestern University. If you are all set, here goes First "Tut" or "Toot"; either one, Ankh, pronounced "Onkua" and then Amen, this way "Ay-mon." Toot-ank-ay-mon. There you have it. To become expert all you have to do is practice it. Important Discovery "What we want to discover, said counsel, 'is who we the ag- gregator.'" "Eh?", said the fierce-looking witness doubtfully. "Let me explain," said counsel patiently. "If I met you in the sneeze and struck you in the face I should be the aggressor." "No, no. You don't understand if I struck you without prosecution I should be committing an act of aggression." "Exuse me, boss, you'd be committing suicide," declared the witness darkly—Savannah News. No Blues Roses—Yet The blue rose has often been sought but never found. London probably had the largest show of roses ever displayed at the last show of the National Rose Society, but there was nothing approaching a shade of blue? This is so small in accents of color that fixes blooming in botany that blooms showing two of the primary colors will not enlarge to a third. Slaves - Male slaves are sold at $6 to $24 a piece in Abysinia, Female slaves, $6 down. Child slaves, no market. This bit of news inks you back several thousand years. The glory of King Tut's tomb dazzles us. But if we had lived in his time, nine-tenths of us would have been slaves. Tut's funeral was the only bright spot of his reign. Nary A Stitch Women who follow the fashions are not going to wear a stitch this spring. But don't get excited. That simply means that clothes will be draped, not sewed. Styles will be ala Egyptiene, and Tut's to blaine. There's only one thing bothering the modists now— The hope that no enterprising archeologist will uncover the tomb of Adam and Eve. That would put business on the toboggan, they say. 9 Get A Good Night's Sleep You may be punished for attempting suicide, if you are caught at it. Robert Wood, a Chicago war veteran, was when he leaped into Lincoln Park lionson. The judge sentenced him to go home and go to bed. It was a sensible sentence. If you are despondent, get a good night's sleep. Then when you get up you will find the world has quite a different book. Few things in life are so serious as the brooding and worry with which we often torment ourselves. Truth In A Cemetery Wandering into the cemetery at Towson, Frank Lockwood, Eastern tenderfoot, noticed the tombstones indicated most of the early settlers had departed this life rather early. "Must have been a bad epidemic in these parts," Lockwood commented to an oneman nearby. "Would die of a disease." "Most of them died of a difference of opinion," the old man answered. Differences of opinion cause most of the trouble in history. In Europe, today also. Where Bootleggers Go "What dey do to dat Jones boy to selling dat booze. Aunt "Philie?" "What dey do? Lawd, chile, dey done give him two years in de house of representatives!" He Picks Him Judge (to defendant)—Do you want to challenge any member of the jury? Ex-Primefighter—Ah isn't 'feelin' you, but ah don't mind gain a couple of rounds with that fat gemmum in the corner—Life AMOS HOKUM SAYS AMOS HOKUM SAYS The wages of sin may be death but nobody seems to be worried about payday. We'll obtain it. Job had a lot of patience but never own a fliver. They say faith will move mountains, but it sure don't work on a stalled engine. "Mother dear may I go out for a swim?" Some bimbos don't think they get a square deal unless they come out ahead. If you're married don't talk in your sleep, unless you have it all fingered out what you're gonna say. From the National Republican— It will be quite possible to keep America out of another European war. It will be quite impossible to get her in. We are not too proud or too cowardly to fight in national defense, but we have too much regard for American life and treasure to fight the battles of other Powers. America will spend no blood and treasure in acting as a policeman on the other side of the Atlantic, if the European powers persist in fighting out their quarrels after the fashion they have been following for centuries. Battle Cry More than half beaten, but four- less. Facing the storm and the night, Breathless and reeling, but tearless. Here is the jull of the fight, I linger not but before Thee. What tho I live with the winner Or perish with those who fall? Only the cowards are sinners. Nightingale the fable is all. Give me no pity, nor spare me; Calm not the wrath of my foe. See where he beckons to dare me! Blooding, half heaten—I go. Not for the glory of winning, Not for the fear of the night: Shunning the battle is sinning— Oh spare me the heart to fight! Red is the mist about me, Deen is the wound in my side: "Coward" thou cries to front me, O terrible foe, thou hast lied! Here with my battle before me, Grant that the woman who bore me Suffered to suckle a man. —John T. Neilhart, Nebraska poe laureate. From the Lawyer and Banker . TOO LATE! "I guess it's too late, mother: I guess it's too late," said Walter S. Steger, New York, when notified that after a fight of two years he needed to allow him $80 in month and an additional allowance of $775. His prophecy proved true. He is dead. Steiger had long since given up hope of Government aid. He was gassed in the Argonne drive. He came home with his horse but the Overseer made no award. He was the American Legion, of which he was a member; took up the fight for him. Iz Biz, have more watermelons than he could carry, so down and et'en to what he called a safe and sain load. Mrs. Maud Joj says she is goin abroad, next summer and he fore returned expeets to visit Norfolk and Memphis. Trucks see Sister Susin Jane lost her high priced wig-wish shoutin' at Sam's Temple. She alleges that, if it tain't in hand in a few days she be doggon if tain't gonna be trouble for somebody. The scientists have known, and the disinterested archaeologists said, long before there was any idea that Tutunkhamen's tomb would ever be found, that he and his queen-ancestor were Negroes—that is, Negroes in the same sense in which we use the word for our colored people in the United States. A man and a folks were darker and more characteristic Negroes than 98 out of any random 100 Negroes of Americas. But it is amusing that since Tu has been found, in all his wealth and glory, dating from a time when all "white" people, especially the Toubonite whites who now rule most of the earth, were as wild as mountain deer, and were maked, uncurled savages; since Tu has turned up with such a glory from such time, the white people and their newspapers are very unwilling to get knowledge that Tatakhammen was a Negro. WHITES WERE NAKED. SAVAGES Why? Simply because it puts us white folks into such a ridiculous and ludicrous situation to have to acknowledge that Negroes high civilized rulers where all white men were wild, and at the same time to be objection to Negro's sitting in the bureaucracy of the theatre, to be exhibiting the effrontery of claiming that a little black child is not good enough to sit near a little white child in the public school. It is not pleasant to be conscious of a plain inconsistency in our own position. To acknowledge that Tutankhamen and his folks were Negroes, and that they were fine Iroquois, reclaimed on golden couchts, and beautifully beautiful baskets, in their Civilization which was already thousands of years old, at a time when the wonderfully "superior" ancestors of the Anglo-Saxon race had not even learned to cloth their bodies and cook their food, and ledged their settlement simply he too insisted with our own idea of the "eternal and inescapable" inferiority of black people. STATUE PROVES TUT... BLACK So what will we do? We will just solve our consciences and save our lives by categorically denying that Tut was a Negro. Oh, to be sure he left a likeness tend doubtless a dattering likeness) of himself right in the entrance to his tomb, yet his statue with black face, his lips and rather ordinary South Carolina-Negro form—but what do we hear him not? He is not here to speak for himself, and the statue cannot speak. If he were here how passionately he might, resent the implication that he had any relation whatever to the savage and undeadened wild poly-rise far to the North of his country. If he had ever heard of them. SCIENTIST SAYS "RICH BROWN" But "dead men tell no tales," so we will adopt the self-contraindictory phrase of H. G. Wells and call Tut a "dark white"—that is 100 say, a black-white. Or maybe we will follow that American pseudo-scientist, who broadcasted over the radio: "Some scientists say he was Negro; but we do not agree with that—but he was a rich brown in color. Do you get that? The little word 'Negroid' is camouflage, and means nothing but Negro in the African sense. Even poor, black, kinky-haired Siki, when he was up Carpenter so decisively, but called 'Negro' in the white press; but when McTigue, the white man, got the better of Siki in a bout, it was reported: "The Negro was beaten." MANY BROWNS IN AMERICA And how do you like that "rich brown?" You know, the American Negro has every kind of brown that God and Nature have been white to invent—but here comes an American white man inventing a new kind of "brown" for Pharaoh, to keep from classifying him in one of the Negro varieties. We have had the "hich," the "low," the "medium," the "chocolate," the "teasing," the "pleasing," the "nantalizing," and all other possible white American adds the "hich." Some say that "Tutankhamen's people put that statue at the entrance to his tomb to toll robbers, butwonder if they did not put it there because some old priest foretold that some day the inferior" wild whites to the North would try to lie about "Tutankhamen" and features. GOSAR GONE! BLACK-TUT HERE Alexander, Julius Cesar, Anthony, Augustus Cesar, Napoleon, and all the other conquerors and medici- into Egyptian life and history, have disappeared, and with the sole exe- ception of the late Napoleon, their ashes and dust have been scat- tered to wind, and but their thir- ty-five centuries Tutankhamen the blessed, brings us his wifely pourth out and a complete im- prise of his civilization. Of all the conquerors of Egypt, he is the ir- sult and the last. President Harding will he didate; for renunciation "say torney. General Douglas Bryan. Bryan popular in he was him. 1820.

Broening Tells Afro Unions Want Better Conditions for All Races COLORED WORKERS PRAISED "Wherever They Join Unions, They Are Loyal," He Says "Organized Labor will use every available ballot in the coming election to further its fight for standard living conditions for working men without regard to race or creed" said Henry F. Browning, local labor chief in an interview with an AFRO-AMERICAN representative this week. The Conference Committee of the local Federation consisting of representatives from more than a hundred organizations, including the colored locals, have formulated a state by which union men will be guided in the coming election and this state has been made out solely of women and present attitude of the various candidates as to important policies and measures affecting the status of labor. Local Colored Folk Awakening Considerable progress has been made of late in organizing colored workers especially in the building trades. There is one thing that can be said of colored men, continued by Browning. Whenever they become bonafide members they are legal. Are there still some opposition here in Baltimore among white crafts to including Negroes in the high program?" Mr. Broening in his so far as the joint organization of colored and white men in the same union there is still some opposition, admitted to the union, in which they are not welcome in their own locals. The fact is we have tried to organize groups nearly as large as the people now realize that the affiliation of colored men and women is imperative to the best interests of unionism. Like any other group there is competition. in the clothing industry. Some time ago an organizer in the clothing industries was called into one of the large Baltimore concerns manufacturing overalls to organize the business by the concern in the fabric that they could use the union label on their products. There was one department in this concern given completely access to Negro workers and were able to carry out the plan because the group would not join the union. Workers Lose Jobs When it was found that the colored workers would not organize in this plant the management properly let them out in order that he might use the union label on his products. We have found that in some cases the experiences of colored people in organizations militate against unionizing them. Often they have gone willingly into organizations only to have some official make off with the funds this has produced much scorpion. "On the other hand it must be admitted that the attitude of the white crafts has not always been what it should be, but when you said the fact that a large number of white employers wish keep the Negroes unorganized order that they may keep wages how it is easy to understand the now progress of unionism among this class. Negro Wages Low" "Where the colored people' are not affiliated with the unions their wages are invariably below the standard. There is for instance a colored man who know employed in one of clothing manufacturing concerns now that is getting $15 per week, as a trimmer. The union wage for this very work is $40 per week. White union men must, but the kind of getting not less than this, it sensible that colored men should still be willing to be made tools that fetter not only themselves in economic shiver but to keep the general standards BUCKEYSTOWN BUCKEYSTOWN, MD.

To Keep You Guessing Read these riddles aloud to the family, withholding the answer, and see how many gan guess them. Why is an old knife like coffee? Because it must be ground before use. What eye never sees? A needles eye. Which travels the faster, heat or cold? Heat, because you can catch roid. Why is the letter A like honey? Because it is followed by the B. Why is a washwoman like a telegraph wire? Because she runs from pole to pole. Why is a retired carpenter like a barrister? Because he is an explainer. How would you speak of a tailor when you did not remember his name? As, Mr. So and So (and sew). Why study like a horse? Because the more youlick it the faster it goes. How Would You Figure It? How many apples did Adam and Eve eat? Some say Eve 8 and Adam 2—a total of 16 only. Now, we figure the thing out far differently; Eve 8 and Adam 8, also—total 104. On second thought think the above figures are entirely wrong. If Eve 8 and Adam 82, certainty that Eve 82 will be the scientific man, however, on the strength of the theory that the ant-diluvians were a race of giants, reason something like this: Eve 82 will be wrong again. What could be clearer than if Eve 11 and Adam 112 the total was $833? We believe the following to be the true solution: Eve 114 Adam 114 and Adam 112. Still another calculation is as follows: If Eve 114 Adam, Adam 1124 oblige Eve—total $2,056. WHO SENT?

Love Letters # PRIZE WINNER My Darling list: As I watched the last of winter vanishing and feel the fool evening breezes. It makes me think of the day when you and I first meet. Can it be that we do not think the same thoughts? You are to me what the sunshine is to the flowers. Your sunny disposition, the sunkissed smile that you wear, make me feel that after all life is a wonderful thing and really worth while. I enjoyed every moment of my life from the time you love me and promised to be mine. I was ever experiencing the changed. I see the beautiful side of life. I dream each night of you, sweet one, my love grows more and more each day, and this world without you would be nothing. I love you, still rings in my ear. The birds on their way from their Southern homes seem to sing it. The cold evening breezes blowing through my window, as I am writing this letter seems to echo the words which I ever forget. The months you have been staying away from me, it seemed an eternity, and these evenings when I see here alone, without you, most likely you, I pray each night you love and your return; you are in my every thought and I live each day in hopes that tomorrow will bring you back to me. Although the distance between us is not great, our distance is in such close proximity with yours that I feel I'm looking into those wonderful brown eyes.

We have been married five years the childhood sweetheart of mine. There have been perfect happiness between us. When we were first married we began by sharing our secrets.

Games For Younger Children MAGIC MUSIC One player is sent from the room; while he is absent one of those remaining hides a thinable, a cork, or some other small object to the absent one. When the object is hidden, the absent player is recalled and proctored to the absent object. While he is doing this the others sing or clap their hands, the sound being soft and low when the music is far away from the object, the sound being loud and proches it. Plano music is desirable, but for school-room use singing is found to be more interactive. For very little children hand-clapping is pleasing and sometimes more easily used than singing.

Heart Problems Answered by Ama Roney "Bright Eyes" is much in love with a young man who says he loves her, but who does not treat her with kindness. Should she go on loving him or try to forget him? Treat him as a friend, "Bright Eyes," he a sister to him, but have other friends and a dearer one when the time comes. This one won't do for a husband. It Is His Move "Tearful" has been going with a young man for two months. They were engaged, but every time she wished to see the date he put her on, she loved him very much and wishes to know if she should write to him. It is the young man's "move." The girl doesn't write, it will do no good to write to him. There are other fish in the sea, and I dare say, better ones. Narcississus Is In Trouble "Tanglefoot" is a student with no time to devote to the girls, but a pretty young blonde girl, not knowing about the more "Tanglefoot" ignores her the more she falls for it, or him. He wishes to know what he is to do about it. Do nothing, "Tanglefoot" notheses, give your time to this girl, or any other, unless you wish to. She will probably live thru it. "Betty" has a young man, well educated and refined, who has asked her to marry him, but who wishes her to wait two years before she can marry her is that he is of West Indian parentage and she is afraid her parents will object to that. She is probably worrying unnecessarily, but probably have a fear of her her parents before matters go further. If the young man was born in this country, he will probably make a husband of the American type: that is he easier to get along with.

To save humidity bills she actually sold her services to serve to emphasize her solder disposition. She mude friends of everyone in a business way but no intimates. However, Mrs. W., a member of the company, told me quite a show of taking absolute possession of her. She meant well, but her tongue wagged en entirely too freely, and she prided herself in her ability as a matronmaker, in which she worked all at all clever. A Fine Young Man A young man from country came to town on cotton buyer for the firm. He soon proved himself a fine, clean young man and made friends. It was not notice that the business had become interested. The admiration seemed mutual and their friendship grew swiftly, not however when the wife of the businesswoman wore a Mrs. W, thought. They enjoyed many dinners at her home, giving her the opportunity she sought—a chance to work with a twist of the head or wink of the eye she often inferred she was able to enlighten him on some little joke or secret of her business. The girl understood her perfectly, but never thought it worth while to tell the young man their hostess was an artful cosy girl. Everything she would not give the reporter of the town paper, even the she called herself "ma" to them. And "mi" never lost an opportunity when down town, to have a chat with the young man—no little clerk always being the inter- service he remarked. "I've often wondered why she wears black so much when she is so young." With a lift of the eyebrows which hung low, she looked at Mrs. W. said, as she turned to go. "Oh, mourning for her second husband; hadn't you heart?" And, missed on out leaving him, she looked at the girl because they had talked much of their past and she had frequently said she never cared for, or even thought seriously, of any man until she used him. "She had to act on a decision—consequently before he slept that night he had obtained from his boss a promise to transfer him to another place the next day." The story is a long one. Suffice it to say it took several years and the careful work of an earnest friend to right the wrong caused by the wording in a carless lesk. M. L, D.

O Walker Associated With Taylor In New Washington Baseball Club Ten Players Including Joe Lewis and Buck Ridgley Left Tuesday Washington, D. C. April 4—The Washington "Potomacs" left Tuesday under the management of Ben Taylor for training at Richmond, Va. The team is expected to remain in Virginia about a month before officially opening the season in the East, where it will be associated with the newly-formed Eastern League. Ten men made the trip from Washington, with the reminder of the squad going direct from their homes to the Virginia College. A series of games with the Richmond team have been booked and registrations are under way for other games with Virginia and North Carolina College and independent teams. MANY STARS UNDER CONTRACT The signing of William Ross, Maurice Williams, "Bullet" Campbell, pitchers; Ralph Jefferson, William Woods, outfielders; Lewis, catcher, and "Huck" Ridgeley, infielder, has been announced by Manager Taylor. In addition to the above group and "Spees" Clark, Wayne Carr and Eg堡ston, who, with the exception of Clark, are now in Washington, three men from Georgia, one infielder from Texas and three brothers from North Carolina, all highly recommended and reputed to possess major league class, will receive tryouts at the training camp. Manager Taylor considers himself fortunate in landing Ross, who is credited as being one of the best pitchers in the game. Last season Ross was with the Yankees and had success in doing with the team. He is a right-hander and started pitching in Texas in 1913. During 1829-21-22, Ross pitched in the California Winter League (white) and was primarily responsible for his team winning the pennant. Both Williams and Campbell are fast ball pitchers. Williams, a right-hander, towers over 6 feet 4 inches and weighs over 200 pounds. He was an A. B. C. member during the season of 1921-22. Campbell, also an orthodox twerker, hails from Boston and plays for the Eastern team Campbell, as several Eastern teams were on his trail. Woods and Jefferson are looked upon as sure regulars. The former is recognized by colored and white sport writers as one of the fastest men in the game. Woods has played with the American Giants, Columbus Burkeyes and the A. B. C.'s in the National Negro League. He has few equivs in laying down a bunt and beating it out. Jefferson began his professional career under the hats of Atlanta University and has the reputation of being one of the best hit and run workers in the game. Ridgely and Lewis are not new to many of the Eastern fans; both played with the Baltimore Black Sox last season. "Bucky" Ridgely is one of the most promising Washington boys in the game. Lewis has a strong throwing arm and is regarded as a fair hitter and will likely be carried as an understudy to Egerton. The men coming from the South whose names have not been announced were looked over, by Taylor's sense. Manager Taylor makes no secret of the fact that he has high hopes of he majority of these men making good. The name "Potomacs" was selected from over a hundred names submitted by loyal Washington fans. In all parts of the country people have learned to think the Washington and in a short time Ben's Ted's aggregation will hear this same association with the Capitol of the Nation. Messrs. S. H. Dudley, well-known theatre manager; William O. Walker, managing editor of The Washington Tribune; and B. J. Myler, the author of the editor of the romances" were the judges who selected the name. “Y” 46; STORER 14 On Saturday night, March 24, the "Y" Big Five slaughtered the Storer College cagers at the "Y" 46-14. Allor and Madden of the Big Five were the star markamen, the former caging six field goals and seven fouls, and the latter caging seven from the field. Brown Storer forward caged four of his team's six field goals. Line-up: "Y" (46) STORER (14) Allor F. Brown Ward F. Hill Madden C. Taylor MacBeth C. Brooks Kyler G. Smith Field Goals: Madden 7; Allor 6; Brown 4; Ward 3; Taylor and Kyler 2; each: MacBeth one. Foul Goals: Allor 7; Taylor 2; Kyler one.

Saturday, the Virginians knocked "Letty" Wilson out of the box and won, 14 to 2. DAY HEADED 69 AFRO LEAGUERS IN POINTS DAY HEADED 69 AFRO LEAGUERS IN POINTS Scored Total of 123; Hill Second with 98; Ailor Third. 91; Brown Now that the Afro Basketball League has become history, we have set ourselves the task of tabulating the total number of points scored by the individual players during the series with the result that is shown by the table that follows. As will be seen, Day, of the Morgan College team, led the league with a total of 123; Hill, his teammate, takes second place with 85; Ailor of the "Y" champions, is third with 91; thereby beating out Brown of "Hi" for this position by one point. Last week's Argo carried the All-City selections of Messrs. Welb, Gibson and Lane, the official officers of the league, and while it may appear the height of presumption on part to take issue with such an expert basket triumvirate, we are convinced that they shot somewhat wide of the mark in two selections for the first team. AILOR PEST MARKSMAN For the second forward position they chose Baskerville, of the Arrows. While it is true that the little forward played a great game, in the latter part of the series, pulling some sensational work occasionally for all-round consistent playing we choose Albor. And it marksmanship counts in the estimate of a selection, our judgment is strengthened for as will be seen Albor caged a total of 36 field goals, and 14 touchdowns in 36 games for 31 points, whereas Baskerville caged only 15 field goals and seven fouls in 9 games for 43 points. HAYES BEST GUARD Our second disagreement with the arbiters' selection is in the second guard position, their choice being Payne, of "HI" School, where our choice is Hayes of the "Y" team. In our judgment, the margin of difference in Hayes' favor is even greater than that between Aller and Eskerville. We are not aware of any team in our observation, we are certain that Hayes work was generally not consistently effective than Payne's. As in the first case, we are again sustained in the question of marksmanship, for the table below shows that Hayes caged eight field goals and six foulouts in nine games for a total of 22 points, whereas Payne caged only six field goals in nine games for a total of 10 points. Eskerville and Payne we select to all Aller and Hayes places, respectively, on the second team. For the rest, we are in agreement with the selections made by the arbiters.

BID ANYBODY HERE LOSE A ROLL OF BILLS WITH A RUBBER BAND AROUND IT I LOST IT LOOK OUT ITS MINE STOP SHOWIN I FOUND THE RUBBER BAND Famous Smoky City Quin Prove Too Strong for 'Greeks' Who Are Taken Into Camp 50-34 SESSOMS TOO TALL Visiting Player Couldn't Be Touched by Locals Without A Ladder The famous Locendi basketball team came to Baltimore last Monday night for the purpose of matching their skill against the Athenian quintet, and after forty minutes of somewhat interesting but seldom exciting maneuvers, the Westerners 'emerged victor, 50-24. It was the first time that the famous Smoky City quint had descended to exhibit their basketball wares in this city, and as a consequence, coupled to some extent with the fact that it was a holiday, the biggest crowd that has witnessed a court game this season was on hand. Due to the long-helded skill of the visitors, none except the most summative of the dye-in-the-vion. The Athenian rooters expected the home team to win—unless "Well, miracles do sometime happen." Well, they do, but they didn't. But the "Greeks" have nothing to be ashamed of. They played a fine game, but the visitors played a better—when it was necessary. The locals with their machine collapsed when the cliff check was cranked up and shut out on the floor at the first whistle and began chugging up and down the floor apparently hitting on all five cylinders. Losadi Scores First Encouraged by the cheers of the packed gallery of rooters the "Greeks" attempted to "step on it" and biff. The engine bid gone dead, Score 2-9, Loendi, Credit, Posey. In their efforts to prevent the locals from getting the old machine working once more, two foul penalties were charged against the visitors and "changed from the line from both times tying the score. From that time, on, the "Greeks" machine was little more than a wheelbarrow. They tried desperately time and again to get it working, but each time the Westerners would toss in the proverbial monkey-wrench, and the jigs was up. It was apparent that the visitors were never extended to their last match. The seemed convinced that they were doing danger unless they so willed it, and thus jugged along in front of the locals, putting on a spur only whig the "Greeks" came too close. Sessoms Too Tall The elongated Sessoms was the real thorn in the side of the Athenians. Stepladders, being barred, there wasn't anybody on the local team who could argue with him when he once got the ball up in the air around the basket. Sessoms has two good hands, but he had only had his work in pushing them in under the basket, would have been searedly less effective as he invariably used only one hand. Nine baskets from the field was his harvest. Ricks, also starred with nine from the plain, tossed in with the greatest ease and Posey while credited with only three, one of these was shot from a parry position with the back arm, the most sensational shot of the game, also caged four in eight tries. Brown and Woods were the star marksmans of the "Greeks" the former caging five field goals, and two fourths of the latter five field goals. Butler, Athenian guard also did some good work in his position. and Woods, 5 each; Posey, 3; Bur- lert and Poles, 2 each; Wright and Betts, one each. Foul goals Posey 4 in 8; Brown, 2 in 4; Poles 2.

FOSTER BARS'ALL CONTRACT JUMPERS FOSTER BARS'ALL CONTRACT JUMPERS War Between Eastern and Western Baseball Leagues Goes Merrily On Chicago, April 3.—(Special) "All baseball players who signed to play the 1923 season with clubs of the Western Circuit of the N. X. L. and who jumped their contracts and went East to play, will be barred from baseball in the N. X. L. forever," says an official bulletin, issued today "unless they return or apply for reinstatement before the 28th day of April." "Contract jumpers will not be tolerated in this league," said the official, "and it is our aim to make it so very difficult for the ball player who jumps, to return until those who perhaps anticipate such a move will think twice before he makes the leap." Just as soon as the Eastern club owners know that they have players who cannot play anywhere else except in the East they will ask off of their large salaries and the players will see the error of their step," concluded the official. Players here view the above report for Chicago as an attempt of Rube Foster to hit back at the Eastern League which has enticed a number of this best players. MAYOR COMING TO INDOOR MEET ON 14th Earl Johnson. Also Coming To Show Children What A Real Champion Looks Like Mayor Browning will attend the annual indoor meeting of coloured school children at the Fifth Regi- ment Memory Saturday afternoon, April 11. Maybe if His Honor is not rushed with campaigning for re-election, he may stop long enough to fire the pistol that starts one of the races. He told the AFRO-AMERICAN yesterday he is going to try to stop in at the meet and book over the boys and girls. Some of the members of the School Board will be there too maybe Superintendent West and Superintendent with the other celebrations, who will be eagerly sought by the thousands of school children, who are expected to attend the meet will be Earl Johnson, Baltimore's own, and the national ten-mile-champion runner of the world. Earl's coming will be a special feature of the meet provided especially for the boys and girls by the AFRO - AMERICAN. Many of them knew Earl Johnson as schoolboy Earl Morgan College, but he has not seen him since he has brought honor to Baltimore as his championship runner. Earl hasn't done any training this winter. He has been lying low, waiting for warm weather. He has his eyes on the next Olympic games, and expects to go abroad for the second time on a team representing the best athletes in the United States. SPORTS MIRROR CONTINUED Seventeen years, in fast baseball company and still going strong. That's the record of John Henry "Pop" Lloyd who is now living in this city and will be seen wearing the Hildale colors this season. Few ball players in this record, black can talk about "Jawn" McGray. Wilbert Robinson and their lik being still in the game, but all they do is to tell the young fellows "HOW to do it. Lloyd is still out there on the field with the young juns and is still beating them DOING IT. We received line from Sailor K. McCullough creek middleweight of the U.

AL HERFORD DENIES HE DISCOVERED GANS Greatest Lightweight Wa Errand Boy in Market When Brought to Him By Caleb Bond GOT $2 FOR FIRST FIGHT Won Lightweight Title In One Round; Drew Purses of $25,000, $50,000 By Afro Sports Editor Al Herford did not "discover" Joe Gans greatest lightweight lighter of all time. This fact was revealed to the sports editor of the AFRO this week by no less a person than the former boxing impresario himself. Gans was discovered by Caleb Bond, "white" who had a fish stall in Lexington Market. In denying that he discovered Gans, Mr. Herford sets the record straight on what has been an accepted theory ever since the famous old master boxed his way into the pugilistic spotlight. Following, is the true history of the beginning of Gans' career as told by Gans was employed by Bond as errand boy. There were many kids hanging about the market for the purpose of picking up extra pennies by running errands. As a consequence, scraps were frequent. One day Gans and another boy came together in a clash of more than ordinary ferocity. It drew a crowd. Gans won. Somebody suggested that another boy could bear him. They pushed him into the circle. He went the way of the first boy. Another boy was dragged out. He went down in less time than the others. Fought For $2 Purse Bond quickly recognized the natural fighting instinct of his errand boy and took him to Mr. Herford, who was then pronouncing boxing bouts. Gans was seen in a preliminary at the Old Monumental at the Old Monumental, the purse being infrequent sum of $2, Gans won. Herford was impressed. Buck Loleman, who was then conducting bouts at the Avalon Club, put him on in some preliminaries and he usually came on winner. His next most important battle was with Kangaroo. The purse was $10, Kangaroo keyed his man in 22 rounds. His skill so advanced the crowd that they showered money upon the gans with hands still encased in his gloves was prevented from picking it up at once. First Big Bout With Kentucky Rosebud Gans' prowess was now becoming so well established, that Mr. Herford had assumed complete management of him, beguip seeking professional opponents, and the first man secured was Kentucky Rosebud who had recently defeated George Dixon famous colored featherweight who was then taken away by hiseyhay. Gans knifed the Rosebud. His next match was with Young Griffo, the Australian who was then claiming the lightweight title. Gans proved that he was no "seven days' wonder" by holding Griffo to a draw in 19 rounds. Quickest. Kayo On Record Quickest. Kairo On Record From then on Gans began moving down his opponents until he had won the right to battle Frank Erne for the lightweight title of the world. They met and Gans established a record for a knockout in a championship match by putting Erne down for the count in the first minute of fighting. The biggest purse that Gans won under the management of Herford was $25,000. This was for his bout. Jimmy Britt, Sometimes for Gans won the lightweight title, he and Herford disagreed, and the famous old master continued to fight, doing practically his own managing. It was during this period of his career that Gans won his biggest nurse—$50,000 in a bout with battling Nelson, for the title. Gans had been taking on weight, and in his attempt to scale down to the lightweight figure—133 pounds, he so weakened, himself that he not only lost his title, but his health as well, and it was only a few months after this that he died, a victim to the white plague, and was buried in Mt. Auburn Cemetery. SPORTS MIRROR SPORTS MIRROR By Afro Sports Editor The University of California is certainly giving Leland Stanford University and incidentally other cracker schools like John Hopkins and Naval Academy a lesson in democracy. Stanford refused to box California because the latter had two colored boys on the team. "Fellows," said a pleasant voice, "stand for principle. The thing that we fought for, you know fellows, in the war was DEMOCRACY—that means, a fair chance for everyone." It was Frank Kleberger, head of the Physical Education Department of California University, speaking. I know you boys are all worked up to a frenzy about the matches, but I think we should be glad to stand on the principle on which we are standing tonight." When American colleges kick out the Lords and install more Kleebergers, and blacklists all Stanford, we will be getting on towards what was promised us in the World War. then will begin to be established the kind of government that the Fathers of the republic had in mind when they wrote the Constitution. I hinted last week, that the Stanford that was doubtless afraid of being beaten. I have before me a clipping which states that Johnson the colored heavyweight, kayed every man he faced last year, and that Jones is a real hunginger in the lightweight class. To me, this gives the Stanford refusal a sort of canary tint. What say you? "Tham" Langford certainly must have been pressing around with this monkey gland business or sumpn. Met Kid Savage down in Mexico City last Saturday and bad him listening to the sweet chirp of the little birds in the very first session. Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to hook up Sam with Battleing Sikl. And then again, maybe it would be a bad idea—for "Sock." Dr. H. L. Shanks just returned from German, East Africa, talks of a tribe named the Wutusi, whose men are wonderful broad jumpers. With a little bill as a "start he saus" they men can clear eight feet in the high jump. 6 FT. 7.5-16 IS THE RECORD FOR THE RUNNING HIGH JUMP, SO IT SEEMS THAT THE HEATHENS" HAVE A LITTLE SOMETHING ON THE CIVILIZED LEAPERS. SOX OPEN PRACTICE WITH WELDON SUNDAY Owing to the chilling blast that prevailed last Sunday, the scheduled first call for practice of the Black Sox turned out to be a more whisper that failed to stir the players from their firesides. However, the weatherman promises to be more congenial this Sunday, and if such is the case, the fans will get their first eyeful of some of the new recruits in a double-header which is scheduled to be played with the Wetland club of Annapolis. Manger Spedden said early this week, that with the exception of Rijo, who has been in cuba all winter and who with no goal in April 15 all other players are expected to be on hand ready to go through their first races. Most of the improvements at the park have been completed, and everything will soon be in readiness for the opening of the season which takes place on April 29, with the Cuban Stars, who is a member of the new Eastern league, (as are the Black Sox.

"End Girls" are usually in line for the next step to soubrette or ingenuity much coveted spots as principals. The diminutive Clare is very young, and very little, but in her Hargesturton has sent into the theatrical world as intelligent bit of artistry as has graced the colored stage in some time. Clare only weighs 95 lbs, but she has a well modelled figure and a winsome smile that prompted the Billboard critic to select her as the representative of the chorus for picturing the big authoritative amusement publication. Maybe the Afro-American will be able to show its. Maryland readers a picture of their product soon. "TENNESSEE GIRLS" IN RICHMOND Richmond, Va.

You wouldn't think she would sing "jazz" songs, and she doesn't. Her voice is warm, at times emotional, and again so very soft and fragrantly sweet. She is "at home" with Cadman's "At Dawning," or Del Riego's "Thank God for a Garden." Her voice just sort of fits into the rhythm and story of love melodies.

Since then he has played in a number of successful films, the most notable of them being Booth Parkington's "Henred." Altho Leon and his mother are by no means wealthy and a film contract would bring in sufficient money to place them in very comfortable circumstances; they feel that a good school education is by far more valuable for Leon at the present than a film contract no matter how attractive. Leon, however, is ambitious and as a page in the company with the sixth Hover Vacuum Supper Company at the big Industrial exposition being held in Long Beach, he is accumulating a bank account without sacrificing his educational training.

A. officials meant business when they declared at the host meeting of the association that a greater variety of entertainment would be provided for the patrons, it is now announced that President Milton B. Starr is personally conducting a tour of the Andrew Bishop-Cheo Desmond Players thus the bigger houses of the circuit. C. P. McClane, Mgr. of the Royal Theatre, Philadelphia, who has been handling the business of the Bishop Dramatic Company advises us that the company will open at Mr. Starr's own theatre, the Bijon in Nashville on April 2, with a route that includes Memphis, Shreveport, New Orleans, Jacksonville, Charleston and Savannah. This is the tour that was being negotiated last autumn, upon the advice of Messrs. Starr and Reevin was determined to doubt with good reasons. The experiment of sandwiching dramatic shows between the gradeville weeks will be watched with considerable interest by the whole show world. When Mr. McClane called at the Billboard last week, he was very enthusiastic about the possibilities. With him were two Mr. Williamses owners of an advertising business and leases of the dance auditorium in the New Olympia Theater on Broad street.

Jackson A trade paper, (not the Billboard) stitches that "Go-Go" may be moved from the Daily Theater on Sixty-five and another theater farther down town to get away from the big Negro patronage that was attracted to the house during the nearly two year's run of "Shuffle Along." This seems like a bit of ingratitude from those whom this very trampage has brought from the business of affluence. The theater in question had been dark for more than a year when "Shuffle" went into it. Since then it has been a mooney-maker, and the subject of some very expensive improvement, made from these earnings. Its owners have paid off a very long list of judgements of long stitches, and not moved in the business end of the colored attraction are again "on velvet." The lyrics and music of "Go-Go" are by two colored men Alex Rogers and Lucky Roberts. It was a tribute to those men that attracted many to the opening of the album and was achieved is based on its admitted Negro characteristics of speed etc. It is known that during the run of "Shuffle" and of "Liza" in the house, that a colored man was paid to sit on the floor and play on the things that pleased the public; and the critics' remarks upon the resemblance to those productions. VARNELL'S REVIEW Star Theater, Shreveport, La. March 13. Mecharr and DeGaston the Steppers with Julius McGarr doing a 'straight', and DeGaston as principle comic, Carleton Fletcher second comic, Beram Goin, second comedian and the following girls,—Ruth, Lilly Yuen, Addele Cole, Johanne Mie Berry, Francis Goin, and Johann Jodon, the second comedian. The show was a smart one that run an hour and twenty-five minutes. It registered a 55 per cent both of costumes and material, and played to a full house inspire of the freezing weather. The show opens with the introduction of the girls before a special drop that is only partly raised at first. The first song number went over well, as did Fletcher's dance offering, DeGaston and Fletcher at a talk to the delight of the audience. It was clean and clever. A cate scene wherein Fletcher and McGarr attempt to eat without pay, the attempt going wrong due to one's failure to make an appearance at the proper time, pulled rounds, of "applause." McGarr and he chorus then sang "Ten Little Fingers," after which Defaston put over a revelation on mother that was a riot. McGarr does a nice "straight" and shows a great deal of personality. It was a great evening's entertainment. —Wesley Varnell. 25th INFANTRY WINS RIFLE: PRACTICE HONORS Washington, D. C.

MOTHER-IN-LAW OF TUT LOOKED LIKE MADAME WALKER Prof. Hansbury Says Queen of Sheba and Cleopatra Were More Negro Than We Washington, D. C., April 5—The mother-in-law of Tut-Akhimen, Pharohol of Egypt, otherwise known at Tut very much resembled the late Madame Walker and the Queen of Sheba and Cleopatra had more Negro blood in them than we have, was the statement of Professor Leo Hansbury, professor of Ancient History in Howard University this week. Prof. Hansbury was asked by the AFRO-AMERICAN, if there were any beautiful women in Negro history more famous than the Queen of Sheba and Cleopatra He said. There was certainly more Negro blood in Cleopatra and the Queen of Sheba than there was white blood, and no doubt more Negro blood than there be any women of today—but I don't think you had best select them as types of Negro beauty. The real and ascertainable fact on their physical or racial characteristics are either too few or two much disputed to warrant this being safely done. There are women that will serve equally as well and with whom the evidence of Negro origin is more demonstrable, so to speak. Nefectare Athames was unquestionably a Negro of pure blood and she was regarded as one of the greatest and most beautiful queens in Egyptain history. Queen Tyi, wife of Amenhole III, mother of Riheman the great, heretic king and mother-in-law of Tuwankh the king of Egypt, woman of the same physical or racial type as Madam Walker and her daughter. There are many others in this same class that might be named. James H. Dennis The Old Reliable Cut Rate Undertaker 1303 Presstman Street Baltimore, Md. MRS. LILLIE JONES 1306 PENNSYLVANIA AVE.
