Freezing Waters Fail To Stop Baptizing In Patapsco River Sunday Afternoon SPORTS WOMAN'S PAGE Freezing 17 BAPTIZED IN CHILLY WATERS OF THE PATAPSCO 500 Spectators Shiver on the Bank When Candidates Are Ducked Below the Icy Waters Led 'Brave Soldiers' Out in Stream to Where Pastor Stood Chest Deep With the mercury down to eight degrees above freezing point Sunday afternoon, and the water several degrees colder, 17 men and women were baptized in the ice waters of the Patapsco River. The converts were newly initiated members of the Maryland Baptist Church, corner Pennsylvania avenue and Mosher streets, of which Rev. E. C. Hicks is the pastor. Special cars carried the converts and the members of the congregation banks of the river at Shalayside Park, a stone's throw from the Hanover Street Bridge. A crowd of over 500 stood up the banks and watched the pastor and two deacons, Edward Johnson and George White, wade out shoulder high into the frigid waters somnily test from the bank. Having tested the waters and inspired confidence in the converts that the sisters was not over their deaths the deacons returned and led two women into the stream. One of them was moved to shout up and down as she walked to the pastor, who crossed her arms over her breast and with a deft twist promoted the ceremonial words and bent her backward into the water. Wipes Wet Hands He water from her face with his bare hands as she came up and turned her over to the deacons, who handed him the second candidate. From this point on accompanied by the songs of those stationed on the shore, men and women were immersed and hustled back to shore where shouting they were bundled into wraps by ushers and relatives, who escorted them to separate dressing rooms to remove wet clothing, and put on dry underclothing. They wore socks but no shoes. Women wore fresh white robes over undergarments and likewise silk or cotton hose. One woman was seen wearing rubber bottom tennis shoes as she stepped into the water. The service lasted nearly an hour, and the woman was enabled to stand the cold weather she was in by the aid of rubber suit under his black gown. Going to Heaven Anyway "They're going to heaven anyway," declared one of the spectators as he watched the shivering figures leave the water and start for the dressing room. Asked whether it was not cold weather for the economy, one of the officers, Xyu, down in Virginia, have known the minute to break lee on the Paduane shoulder to carry out the baptizing ceremony." Not only was the river muddy from recent rains giving it a heavy yellowish color, but the snow of Saturday lowered its temperature considerably below that which caused the onlookers to move rapidly for home as soon as the service was concluded. 50c HOUR WAGE At 35c Now With the great demand for unskilled labor, wages have mounted to 45 and 50 cents an hour. Many are refusing jobs at 35 cents an hour, and contractors have been forced to grant their demands for better pay. Twenty-five colored men walked out of a plant a few days ago rather than work for 35 cents. A representative of a local packing plant rounded up a number of employees who were laying off and neglected them to come back at an interest. The example of the city raising wages to 45 cents per hour has made many contractors do likewise. Meanwhile, the Hodecarriers and Common Laborers Union is still insisting upon a minimum of 5 cents an hour, arguing that even that seems barely enough to live CURE PORTRAIT UNVEILED A portrait of the late Fasil Cure was unveiled at Grace A. M. E. Church, Catonsville, last Sunday afternoon. Addresses were made by Rev. C. A. Williams, pastor of the Church, Willard W. Allen, grand master of Masons, and others. Mr. Cure was for many years superintendent of the Sunday-school of Grace Church. Mrs. Mary Ross Dorsey who is directing the troupe of local actors to give "Everywoman" here this week, is also rehearsing her same performance in Richmond, Va. on April 30 at the Strand Theatre. Second But the beautiful teeth of pretty Miss Bertha Rammond should get her a position as model with the Wetter's Toothpowder Company easily. 106th ANNUAL A. M. E. CONFERENCE HERE Sessions To Be Opened by Bishop Johnson At Trinity Church Next Wednesday CHANGES PREDICTED Interest Also Centers on Election of General Conference Delegates ... Ministers of the Baltimore Conference of the A. M. E. Church are winding up their year's work preparatory to the opening of the 166th annual session at Trinity A. M. E. Church, Linden avenue and Biddle street, next Wednesday. Bishop J. Albert Johnson will preside with Bishops John Hurst and Levi J. Coppin probably assisting him. Rev. Dr. A. L. Gaines will be the entertaining pastor. Many Officers to Come Boshes receiving reports from churches, addresses will be delivered by Rev. Dr. R. C. Kansom, editor of the A. M. E. Reviews, Dr. R. R. Wright, editor of the Christian Recorder; Prof. John R Hawkins, financial secretary of the denomination; Prof. A. S. Jackson, commissioner of education; Rev. Dr. S. M. Morris, secretary of the Allen Christian Endeavor League and others. Rev. Dr. Daniel G. Hill will preach the missionary sermon next Wednesday evening and the conference branch of the Women's Mate Missionary Society will meet on Friday afternoon. To Examine Candidates Candidates for ministerial orders will be examined on Tuesday afternoon. The committee on admission includes Rees, Charles E Stewart, M. H. Davis and O. E. Jones. Among those who have died during the year was Rev. A. W Robertson, formerly stationed at Ebenezer Church; Haggerstown. Interest in Appointments Considerable interest is being manifested in the probable appointments, the expiration of the five-year terms of some of the ministers necessitating some changes. Those thus affected include: Rev. John Collins, presiding elder of the Easton District, Revs. John W. Norris, M. James R. Nelson, and M. R. Nelson, pastors of local churches, and M. W. Traverse, of Washington. The election of delegates to the General Conference which will probably take place next Friday, is a matter of absorbing. Many members of the conference attended the meeting of the presiding elders on the Eastern Shore on Tuesday and Thursday of last week, and, it is believed, a tentative state of delegates was agreed upon. Delegates Mentionsed Among the many candidates are Revs. A. L. Gaines, who is an aspirant for the bishop; R. E Pord, J. S. Collins, W. A. Harris, C. H. Stepteau, C. E. Stewart, D. G. Hill, J. W. Norris, J. A. Briscoe, P. J. Jordan, O. E. Jones, W. H. Manokoo, J. R. Waters, J. G. Martin, and James: R. Nelson, C. H Queen, F. S. Dennis, E. N. Thomas, E. T. Addison, John Hammond and J. R. Barnum. A. M. E. Conference in Philly The 107th Annual Session of the Philadelphia Conference of the A.M. E. Church will be held at Bethel A. M. E. Church Sixth St., near Lombard, Philadelphia.

PRESTON THOT TO BE OUT OF RUNNING Unsatisfactory Interview With Ministers Widely Discussed During the Week Though Preston and Jackson have begun hurling bricks at each other, Republican leaders are now beginning to realize that their fight is far from won. A registration greatly favoring the Democrats and apathy and opposition among colored voters are now causing apprehension among followers of Mayor Broening. Then there is the drift of a large element of the 27.750 colored voters to Howard W. Jackson. Confer With Marchant Republican leaders are now trying to placate colored voters, Rev. Dr. Ernest Lyon, Rev. Dr. Junius Gray and a new other ministers had a conference with City Solicitor Marshant Tuesday about the seriousness of the situation that confronts the Republicans. Many Support Jackson Captain George Brown, J. Howard Payne, J. Steward Davis, Truly Hatchett, Dr. James A. White and others are ardently supporting the Jackson candidacy. The prosecution is not figuring in the campaign, except the opinion expressed by Governor Ritchie, in his statement favoring Jackson, that racial differences was one of the reasons that Democrats should rule. Councilmen at Work Warner T. McGuinn and W. L. Fitzgerald, Republican nominees for City Council, are getting their forces in line and trying to break down the general opposition to the Republican Robert J. Young, one of the defeated candidates, are urging him to run as an independent. The fact that a group of ministers who went to interview Mr. Preston recently regarded their talk as unsatisfactory was colored discussions this week among colored voters who have been likewarm to the imminent ticket. It would to recall the activity of the former Mayor towards segregation and inclined many voters to believe that if elected, Mr. Preston would give another silk stocking administration. Jackson and Browning Will Divide Vote The promise of Howard W. Jackson to create a colored fire company if elected has stirred interest in the race before. It is the goal of announcement supporters of Mr. Jackson have been looking forward to in order to enlist the larger interest of colored voters. Men close in touch with Democratic Headquarters declare that this is only the first of a series of such statements that will be made by Mr. Jackson and those on the ticket with him before the campaign closes. The result of this, it is said will be to split the 27,750 colored votes of the city for the first time between the two parties. 16. on Mayor's Committee The Citizen's Committee backing the candidacy of Mayor Broening as published last week contained the names of only four ministers, and all four were colored. Of colored lawyers were in the list, which also contained the names of Mrs. George Fergus Miss Jennie Ross, and Mrs. Hazel MasBeth. Others on the committee consist of Rev Chelan Lyon, Rev C. B. Bishop, Rev C. H. Stepteau, Rev J. Munke, Gray, C. Marcellus Dorsay, George Watty, W. W. Allen, W. T. Andrews, Jos. P. Evans, Josh Diggs, Dr. B. M. Rhetta, Alexander Williams, William M. White.

Accounts Opened with Reliable People 200 Heard Tibbs in Recital Nearly two hundred music lovers greeted Roy W. and Mrs. Lillian Evans Tibbs of Howard University in their joint recital at Madison Street Presbyterian Church Tuesday night of last week. The artists were presented to Baltimore by the Delta, Sigma Theta Sorority, which is working to join the friendship band. Liapounow's Bercuse and Pagninine-Liustz's La Companello were the best received of Mr. Tibbs' piano numbers and he was forced to respond to encores. His technique and interpretation stamp him as the best pianist Baltimore has heard this year. Mrs. Tibbs' voice has developed wonderfully in recent years. She has always had a mellow soprano and excellent control of it, but it is her enunciation and phrasing that have greatest progress. Her numbers in Italian and Spanish were applauded, but best received were her simpler English songs. She too was forced to give encores. BANNEKER SECOND By polling 1476 votes, the poet Paul Lawrence Dunbar has been declared winner in the AFRO contest. Benjamin Banneker was second with 891 votes and Booker T. Washington, third with 673 votes. The total votes cast were 3238. The victory of Dunbar means that his likeness will appear on genuine bronze medals to be given away by the AFRO-AMERICAN next year for the 200 best essays in the life of Paul Lawrence Dunbar. The date and conditions of this contest will be published soon as the AFROPS editor who had charge two months ago of the distribution of the 300 Frederick Doughass medals. Dunbar's high vote is due to the interest of School 101 of which William Anderson is principal. Several hundred votes came from this school alone. Even a group of girls in the High School club together and sent their ballots for Dunbar. Benjamin Banneker who has been trulling along in third place jumped ahead of Booker T.Washington last week when the Banneker school of which Harry T. Pratt is principal and polled 300 votes. Standing of the contestants is follows: Mr. Dudley Paul Lawrence Dunbar 1470 Benjamin Banneker 891 Barker T. Washington 637 Sojourner Truth 165 Kelly Miller 78 W. E. B. DuBois 30 Bishop W.

The letter reads: Was Ritchie's Butler American Consultate, Manchester, England, April 6, 1923, Editor Afro-American. A colored man giving the name of James Adams, who states that he was born at Christiansted, Santa Cruz, on November 25, 1837, and in 1918 left there and went to Baltimore, where he was employed as a crane driver by the Bethlehem Steel Company, and afterwards as a butter by the Honorable Albert C. Ritchie, now Governor of the State of Maryland, who applied for financial assistance to enable him to return to the United States, and states that he has no funds wherewith to procure passage. He states he left the United States in November last and came to England with a theatrical company, managed by a man by the name of T. C. Mulligan, who is supposed to reside at Cambridge, MD. This theatrical company broke in on a Parrivort, near Manchester, some days ago and Mulligan has disappeared leaving Adams stranded, together with his wife and two minor sons. Brother Employed Here He has been informed, that consular officers abroad do not have any funds available on such to draw to extend financial assistance to destitute American citizens in foreign countries who are desirous of returning to the United States. He states that his brother, Joseph Adams, is employed by your company and requests that his brother be informed of the fact that he is in dire need and requested to make immediate arrangements to cable to me sufficient funds with which to procure passage for himself and family to return to the United States. No Work Available In this connection I beg to point out that the chances for Mr. Adams to obtain employment here are very meager, inasmuch as there are many active people out of employment, and, of course, aliens will not be present, where it is possible to obtain work, to natives. It is, therefore, suggested that Mr. Adams make arrangements to relieve his brother here without delay as otherwise he will undoubtedly suffer severe hardships. Note—The reference to an employer of the Afro-American by name of ADAMS is an error. —Ed.

Asked concerning colored students being excluded from training at St Mary's, His Grace said, "Colored aspirants for the priesthood are few. In fact they are nearly as scarce as he's teeth. You know yourself what this personal racial feeling is. We are a religious body and cannot protect them. There are a lot of colored people that you, yourself would not care to associate with. There is a seminary in New Jersey where colored priests are trained, but there are only a few priests of color and these are mainly in the West. Day's meeting and candle rally will be held at M.

L. Fitzgerald concerning the dangerous street crossing at Myrtle Avenue and George Street, the Commissioner is trying to arrange to station a man there during the rush hours. "We have the proposition under consideration" he told the AFROAMERICAN, and are working on the matter now. I pass that intersection frequently myself, and will say that it is an ugly place. "Asked if an automatic stop and go system would work well at this corner, so that traffic would be regulated at all hours of the day and night, the commissioner is automatic signal would be absolutely useless and we are trying to make arrangements to have a man there, at least part of the time. Lately we have been so busy taking care of the schools that all our men are in use. "We tried to get $20,000 from the Board of Estimates, this year, or $10,000 more than last year but met with failure. Our idea was to try out at least a few automatic signals, but concerning that particular corner we'll have to find a man to put there." The Baldwin and Hughes medals will take place.

Rev. Edenburgh is quoted in part as follows: "Sunny Town, a town of more than one thousand colored inhabitants with only one white man who lived with a colored wife, who was totally destroyed with the exception of the Post Office and everybody except those who escaped were killed. Here he said the Negroes owned stores, bank" and every thing, just as my other town.

"BLOOD MC MEY JOHN. Here's your letter," shouted the postman, jovially, as he stopped his horse, dismounted from the wagon, and advanced toward the vine-covered fence surrounding a little cabin in the small town of Salem, Ga. John Walton was intently hoeing his corn and had not heard the rumble of the approaching wheels. At the words, "Your letter," he started, his heart beating violently. He had been expecting a certain letter every day for the last six weeks—a letter on which his very destiny seemed to hang. Now the postman's accent on the "your" told him that this letter had come at last. Dropping his he advanced to meet the mailman. Making the missive, his hands "She is a cleavah boy. She is treating with excitement, he cleavah," he said with deep satis-faction. Foysibly scanned the return address. Yes, it was the letter: With the long expected bit of malt in his hands at last John Welling stood hypnotized with doubt. Would the simple words within announce that he had won his seven years of gruelling up-hill fight did they signify that he was going to take the first step toward his life's fondest dream? Or did they mean that he was going to remain in the shill, like, soul-bumping environment of this sleepy, dusty village until God knows when? He decided to take the plunge that would decide his fate for some of all. "What's the matter, John? Scared to open your malt?" shuffled the postman, noticing his malt in the new everyone's affairs intimately, and was himself eager to know what the letter contained. The remark woke John Watson from his reverie. He rapidly took the envelope apart unfolded the sheet within and began to scan it peripherly. A look of doubt colored his strong, mainly features, and he read on the paper of paper bills in the air and did a wafer to the decrement of several rooms of corn. "I've won. I've won! Mall he shuffled jubilantly. He started willingly to run labsors. The postman grabbed at his sleeve and held dim back. "For me now it is he said, John threw it into his hands. The elderly woman in a loose cotton gown emerged from the low doorway, followed by an old man toddling with the aid of a stick. John ran to meet the woman shouting, "I've got it, man! I've got it." He grasped her about the shutters, kissing her impassionly. "That ain't no news to me!" she spotted dryly, calling his mother. "Didn't I tell you so all about it?" The old man had taken the letter from the postman and was looking at it, pretending to understand what it was all about. SYRACUSE, R.I. SYRACUSE, R.I. Syriacuse, N.

May we hope to hear from you at your earliest convenience. Yours sincerely, A shout of joy went up from the little audience. The old man placed his hand on John's head and made an emotion praising him as a great hero. Tears of joy came into his eyes. "This grandson of his job was going to be all that he had longed to be but had never had the chance." Mrs. Watton was happy, happy. But goldenly a grave book swelled her face. How would certain of her white neighbors take the story of her boy's success? With a mother's ever wartime by the pearl he turned to her offspring, she immediately set out to two tables, for instance buffles of the town, who were always teasing her son about his studium habit. Vividly there flashed through her gown the terrible fate that had ousted her husband in a neighboring county many years ago because of his indiscriminate habit. Silence about boy's success she hurriedly decided was the best course, for if anybody she said comically, "they might..." She suddenly remembered the postman, "Kim, bert, run. No, John, go and tell Bill not to say nothing about it."

Mrs. Virgile Bentley THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BAL John dashed through the gate and hurried up the dusty lane as fast as his logs could take him. On rounding the corner he saw the postman talking excitedly with Dick Stewart, an elderly white farmer and father of the two noeer-do-wells, the objects of Mrs. Walton's fear. He was telling Parker about the scholarship "Good afternoon, Mr. Parker, with John approaching. said, "Paddy, John. I guess you all will be goin' John. Noith to be a professa- bish, a dectah or something." sneezed Stewart by way of congratula- "Say, Bill" said John when Parker Lard gone inside to give the news. "I forgot to ask you not to tell anyone. You know how it is" tion. And I spilled the boon" said the other regretfully. "I won't let another soul." John started thoughtfully back Suddenly he heard something whiz by his car and strike the earth with a dull thud, raising a little cloud of dust at his feet. It was a large stone! Bucking his head he looked hurriedly back but saw no one. Stewart, I det," he said in disgrace. The postman promise to keep silent was of no avail. The mischief had already been done. It this little town, as in similar communities, the least bit of news on gossip is as much an event than a letter to a man in town. Every person tells everyone else's private affairs. Before the day was over John Walton's success was on the lips of everyone in Salem. CHAPTER II John Breckenridge Walton was the only living son of Lucy Walton. It was well-known at least no one ever denied it—that he was the son of Philip Walton, secretiary banker in the countryside banker and justice of the peace. Two years ago the banker had called John to his office and offered to help him, but when the latter declared that his greatest desire was to enter college and become a doctor, the frate old man had driven him away. "Come and see," he said when you mind to quit fooling with books" he had said. Twenty-four years before Lucy Walton's husband had met a terrible fate, as was said Walton had been a thriving, prosperous farmer—a "big-buggy nigger," as most of the white folks called him. The incident that lead to Walton's death was trivial. One day on her wedding, in the town which he lived, he hitched his horse to the common hitching post as usual. Hearing a commotion he run out to learn that his horse and that of a rival white farmer had been fighting. The white farmer placed the blame on Walton and began to abuse him. The latter apologized and started to walk to his horse. Is that the way "you talk to a white farmer" and the "farmer angelly"? "Damn it, take off your hat." Walton took no notice of him. The angry man rushed after him, and wheeled him around. In the scuffle that ensued the white teacher of Salisbury, was called home to the bedside of her sick mother, Mrs. Sallie Fields. * Mr. Frank Lauria who was taken seriously ill with pneumonia is slowly improving. * Mr. Harold Jeslie is much improved. * Smith who has been suffering with pneumonia is much improved. * Mr. William Gibson is still on the sick list. * Mr. Shermon Harris is visiting Rev. and Mrs. Nutter of Ridgely, Md.

ANNAPOLIS Annapolis, Md., April 13—Mr. Joseph Duval, Jr., is still confined to his home after the accident at Shearwood Forest when he was severely injured. C. Dempsey, 49 Calvert street. Annapolis, Md., has been very ill, but is much improved. She is still under the care of the doctor. CHAPTER 11 ROSSVILLE man had gotten the worst off and Walton was marched off a prison. That night the mob broke into the jail, took him out and burned him alive, but not before Walton had beaten out the brains of two of the mob with a burrenched form from the window of the jail Lucie Walton was given two hours to get out of the county and had returned to live with her father, Peter Breckinridge, a former slave on the Breckinridge estate. John Walton thirsted for knowledge. He had absorbed all meagre education given to the Negro children in Salem by a teacher who was herself not a few grades from the illiterate. One day he saw an advertisement of a correspondence school in a magazine offering to prepare anyone who knew how to read for a college course. He had saved the five dollars a month necessary by borrowing and by for the next three days devoted himself diligently to the lessons that had been sent. At last he had been given a diploma. Enclosed was a list of scholarships for which he could compete. Selecting the Arnold Scholarship he spent another year of patient preparation and went alone to five-two miles away, to take, the explanation. CHAPTER III John decided to leave within the next four days. He thought it best to say nothing to his employer. The annual fund from the scholarship, he offered, was worth about a mother's old grandfather. As for himself he would trust touck to get work out of school hours. Not a word had been said to outsiders about the departure. When asked about it, John would reply: 'Oh, not for some time yet.' The teacher, the nearest station was Faston, eleven miles away, a train left at five in the morning. To alay his mother's fear he decided to take that. He would leave Salem around midnight. For some mysterious way the news of the approaching departure leaked out, and a few intimate friends stole in to say good-bye. As all sat around enjoying a farewell-supper there came a violent, abrupt knock on the door as if it were a gun. At the same time there was a strange call. The little company jumped to hit him and grabbed his shot- gun and walked. "It is those Parker boys, I bet," said Mrs. Walton. After waiting in taut expectation for ten minutes all sat down again. A knock at the door, John shogun in hand, went towards it and opened it as he heard a familiar voice. "Look what I found sticking on your glove!" said the newcomer, handing him a bit of paper. MME.

A group of young folk were enjoying a Sunday afternoon "sing" in a private home. During the evening a young man and myself had a te-a-toe-a-toe, and it takes 10 minutes to accompany me to the night services. As the distance to the church was not great, we walked. Being a young people's meeting, I was asked to read a reference. Psalms 55-11. Turning to the proper place in the good book, I rose and read: "We took sweet council together and walked into the house of God in company." Then I sat down and the suppressed laughter of the conversation. This occurred something like 11 years ago.

To a girl like you caring enough for a fellow like me to marry him! I find myself all the time wishing I had been better, not that I have been immoral—but your lover should be something far finer than mine. When my cousin Bob invited me to Annapolis how little I dreamed what was in store for me? You'll find it trightly beautiful city. And then at her informal dance I met you and the world was changed. Do you remember when I asked you the great question, my knees shaking, my voice husky, you said, I funned, "Three, you too." You didn't more "citied you. You didn't realize just what I didn't want, and when I saw you in your home with a mother just like my mother of one, and your lovely home life—oh, Human, you will never know, dear, what it all meant to me. I wonder how I can ever, our wedding day, work, while I have love and work, and everything I do, in myself that it is for you, to try to help. Here comes Jackand I must go good-night.

Bashful Man Story Girls scare me. They always did. Fact is, I never had one until I was nearly 25. After I finished school I went to a small town to work on construction job. An old friend of God's lived there, so I went to call on him one Sunday afternoon. As I started up the drive some days, I was dressed in a brown dress and had the brownest eyes ever. I thought of a blue-bird. "Aren't you Elli Williams?" she asked. "Yes; are you Patty Jones?" When she was little, Patty used to sit to market upon my knee. We had a poly cloth. She didn't dress as the little kid I used to rough and tumble. There was a circus to town that week, and I took her. "During the circus I not only discovered she was grown up over heels in love with her, I came to me all of a sudden and scared me so that I kept getting worse and worse. After the circus we went to an ice house, refreshed in ice, and was so upset by that I forgot to take off my hat. And that blessed little woman sat there like a saddler and ate her sundae and never ever smiled. Several months after we had married (yes; I got up nerve enough to propose after a certain length of time) she told me, about the hat. She had put on it, now there is another fit feather, and my eyes. He is some jumper, and surely looks cocker in my hat—131. Knowing from terrible experience the suffering caused by rheumatism, H. B.

But sitting in the other front seat, I proceeded to demonstrate the statement was not true. I turned the key and put my foot on the starter. Then I discovered the driver in stopping the car half turned off the engine with the key but had not thrown it out of gear. As soon as the engine started, the driver straight for the plate-glass windows.

Weather Kept Attendance Down Despite the inclemency of the weather, the student body of the 10 schools that participated turned out in large numbers although the weather kept down the attendance of grown-ups. The events were run off as scheduled and elicited much enthusiasm, especially the track events which proved as usual, the most popular. The climax of the latter events was reached in the two-mile handicap run in mid-April. Karl Johnson conceded a 10-yards handicap to Choreon Pendleton, who had leg stretcher local distance runners, 65 yards to Baymore, 75 to C. Walker and 100 yards to several others.

Battling Ski entered wearing a black, Second Empire opera cloak, and dangling a gold headpiece from his wrist. The given mask cheers and boisterously applauded by the huge throng. Ski is still the popular hero of France. WASHINGTON Manager Washington Potomacs MIXED BOUTS BAN KAYOED IN MINN. Squashing of Unwritten Boxing Law by Judge Clears Way for Wills-Miske Scrap ****** By Handel R. Rowe in Minn. Messenger Minneapolis, Minn. April 19—In a ruling April 4th, Judge W. W. Bardwell permanently restrained the Minnesota boxing commission from issuing a license to any athletic association or boxing club permitted by the boxing commission to hold contests in Minnesota until 33 contained in the commission's rule governing boxing in Minnesota is eliminated. Rule 33 read: "contest between Negroes and white persons, otherwise known as mixed hours, are strictly prohibited." Judge Bardwell's ruling brings to a successful conclusion a three-year effort to have this rule eliminated. The commission did not impose the injunction proceedings. REMOVAL OF RULE CAUSES MIXED BOTTLE TALK Immediately following the abolition of the rule banning mixed bouts comes the talk of a bout between Harry Wille, the leading contender for Champion Dempsey's crown, and Ellie Miske, to be staged, some time this summer at Lexington Park by Promoter Jack Reddiz, manager of Miske. Promoter Reddiz, is quoted as saying: "The abrogation of rule 33—the latest turn of affairs—has really played right into my hands. I have been trying to land a bout for Miske with Wills for a long time but have met with opposition everywhere I turned. Now that obstacles are cleared away the only thing remaining in a discussion of terms with Wills. WILLS WANT TO FIGHT There will be no hitch on account of Wills as he is eager to try conclusions with any one in the equated circle. Tommy Gibbons is also mentioned as a probable opponent for Wills, the winner to be matched with Jack Dempsey for the world's heavyweight championship. A Wills-Miske or a Wills-, Gibbons bout at either of the Twin City bull parks would draw the biggest crowd in the history of boxing in the state of Minnesota. We are optimistic that the Negro boxer will be given an opportunity to vie with other boxers in Minnesota, but should we have the satisfaction of knowing that the illegal rule is removed forever from the rules under which boxing is operated in Minnesota.

BLACK SOX VERSUS IRVINGTON SUNDAY Rojo, Mahoney And Several New Recruits Will Be On Hand In Postponed Twin Clash Owing to the indemnity of the day, the twin bill which was scheduled to take place last Sunday at a opened Park between the Sox and the Irvington All-Stars "white" had to be postponed. This twin clash will be staged the coming Sunday, and those who saw the games the Irvington aggregation put up with the Sox last, know that the fur is bound to fly when these teams cross bats again. A bit of pleasing news for the fans is the fact that Rojo and Mahoney will be on hand Sunday toumber on up in the lead cma. In pitch in booking passage from Cuba, Rojo did not get to the States last week as expected, but it was stated early this week that he was expected before the week was out. Mahoney, the crack former Indianapolis hurler, is already here, and with the advent of Rojo, the complete roster of the Black Sox squad will be on hand, as Wheeler, Richardson, "Hooks" Mitchell and Britt including the old Sox players retained, have been here for three weeks. Following their intention to form a club that will be as strong as the one in the Eastern Association, the owners of the Sox Club are still landing recruits for try outs and will have two, more men from Washington on hand Sunday, also expect to land a Cuban player said to be one of the greatest in the game. The new player is recommended by a friend of one of the owners of the club who is said to be a keen judge of first-class baseball material. GIANTS TO PLAY The Blue Ribbon Giants will play the Mt.

WILLIAM WOODS BROOKLYN Outfielder Washington Potomac POTOMACS SHAPING UP IN OLD VIRGINNY Ben Taylor's Washington Club Almost Ripe for a Hot Independent Baseball Campaign Richmond, Va., April 19. (Special) Ben Taylor's his Washington D.C. team taking advantage of the warm days that are to be found in this section and are fast rounding into the best possible form. Taylor has his squad of twenty out every day for a four-hour drill. Joe Washington, a youngster from Georgia, looks and acts the part of a good outfielder. He takes a good healthy cut at the bat and holds and throws from the off side of the plate. Woods, Jefferson and Kyle and Sinclair and well-known to the fans, are showing lots of early season "men." TEXAN SHOWS UP WELL One of the most promising looking youngsters in the Potomac camp is Joe Goodrich, of Texas. Unlike most Texans, he is short and stocky. He is first on his feet and second on hard hit balls. He hats from the right side and from early season work, will be one of Taylor's best hitters. The pitchers are first rounding into shape; the veterans Ross and Carr are almost in mid-season form. Maurice Williams, the big right-hander who came to the Indianaapolis A, B, C's two years ago and will be his baked salary wing, looks good and in all probability will come through in fine style this season. Among the young pitchers who are showing up are Albrighton, from Philadelphia; Lefty Williams, from Albany, Ga., and Bullet Campbell from Boston. These men have the baked pitching moving the edge because of his great physique; he is a six footer and tips the scales at one hundred ninety. PORTO RICAN CATCHER the staff will be well represented with Eggleston and a youngster from the winter league in Porto Rico. Eggleston looks even better than he old last season when he shared duty with Mackey at Indianapolis. Clark, the Potomac's star short stop, is expected to be in camp any day from Porto Rico. He is expected to be along several promising players with him. Manager Taylor, the old reliable, is getting into fine shape himself. He looks and acts like one of the youngsters and is singing the old apple in his old time form; the fans know what this means. WORKINGMEN!

If their idea of the rules of a race were adopted.

My contention that Paddy Mullis' Harry Wills' manager, by keeping him out of the jinetight was allowing him to be pushed aside from his position as first in line for a crack at the heavywright crown now resting upon the brow of his head. A jacket of "white hope" clubs, was a shot far not wide of the mark. Bozing Rhode said last week: "Bill Tate has as much claim on the colored heavier crown as Harey Wills, as the last time the men persecuted him, and as the last time Howard, man of Tate, suggests that Tax Richard put the men on the card with Willard and Johnson, in blood Johann, one of the "hopees," mal Jack, is meant—Ledl for the kind Paul unfair. But takes place in the new Yankee Stadium on May 17th. "Wills doesn't stand much of a chance to face Dempsey WITH the kind of prejudice Howard is ING TO THE FORE WITH SOME REAL ABILITY, so why not keep him in action?" I also charged, in the article mentioned, that in keeping Wills out of the mudglass Mulligan was the kind of prejudice writers, promoters and others who don't want to see Wills get a chance at the title. In passing we might mention that we sent Mr. Mulligan a copy that was in the possession inquiring as to his reason for keeping Wills under cover. To date he has not applied. At the beginning of every football and basketball season, the question of white and colored athletes is the most important of years. In football, the white arbiter has been practically eliminated. In basketball, there are some clubs which still cling to the attitude, apparently, that colored referees are "not competent." These managers with whom we have talked, who invariably employ white men, say that it is not that the referees are not capable, but that the white officials more nearly represent complete neutrality. That the fans are less inclined to accuse a white official of misconduct, and that more an imitation of the rules, then is the case with a colored man. That there is some truth in this latter contention, no one familiar with the matter can deny. The would-be champion would be confident whether a growing rare pride and confidence in the integrity of colored basketball referees shall result in the elimination of the game in football or whether we shall still continue to employ white officials while colored ones who have been possessed upon in the past will be bound to abstain at all times while athleticalities watch the game from the sidelines. Somebody has has said that the West will gradually displace the East, as the most influential and dominant region of this country. Recent reports from that section concerning the attack on Hamlet: "It is a communion devoutly to 'be wished.' Last week, I told you of the stand of 'the University of California in refusing to enter the boxing tournament' with Israel. Stanford Stanford subjected the object to two colored boxes, students of the former school participating. . . .

The game was an interesting contest and uncorked some clever maneuvers on the part of both fives. The "Greeks" got their machine working on several occasions but after negotiating many fast set-ups, failed to push the spiker over the rim of the aper-ture. For the Athenians' splendid guard work was done by Butler and Lyles, Bill Harris schooled as pilot man and Massey, Woods and Poles tied in chunking the globule into the basket; Woods caging four from the plain, Poles two from ditto territory and six out of eight tries from the penalty mark. The stars of the Oricle quintet were Scott, guard, who did some sensational disfibling, and Waxman, pivot man, who led his team in marksmanship, caging four from the field. There was more dissatisfaction expressed with the work of Reference the law "white" on this occasion than in any other game he has allotted in this season, the spectators claiming that his sight became suddenly impaired whenever the Oracles committed an infraction of the rules while on the other hand he saw everything the Athenians did. Before the main game an interesting preliminary was staged between the "y" Pirates and "y" AIBars, the Pirates winning 38-21. Only a handful of fans witnessed the game, Earl Johnson was an interested spectator flanked by several young ladies.

Let's put piness nearly all of us are a "Nineteen Plenty-Three." The United States has taken part in 104 wars, Secretary of War Weeks announced last week, which is at the rate of one every one and one half years since the republic was founded. Nearly a hundred of these wars were expeditions against the Indians which began with the Northwest Indian War in 1781 and lasted until 1899, when an expedition was sent against the Chippewa Indians. "The Indians are a dying race, they cannot live in the face of white civilization." These are the statements that used to be commonplace in the mouth of Americans. If what Secretary Weeks says is true, the Indians did not die off, rather they were killed off in these hundred wars. It is significant that since we have stopped massacring the Indians every year or so the total Indian population has increased from 300,000 in round numbers to some 304,000.

Today in the cities the pharmacies begin their displays of spring tonics. But "pep" is not to be found in bottles. "Granny" was right—one must go to the woods to find a cure for spring fever. One searches among the trees and in the fields; one wanders along the bank of some stream; one looks among the grass and ferns for the first signs of spring flowers; one gazes upward toward the sun. And strangely, as the search is continued, long before the ingredients are found, the cure for spring fever develops. When the stroll is completed the medicine has worked. The cure for spring fever is "spring," taken in liberal doses. Shall It Be Nineteen "Plenty-three?" America is on the long pull towards prosperity, in spite of the fact that so much of the world is "upside down." This year is going to be a prosperous year for the farmers, as well as for the business world. Employment in general is better now than it has been since the close of the war. The industries are working over-time. Construction is booming. Transportation facilities are improving. The railroads are buying new cars, new locomotives and making many repairs. Prices are steadily advancing in all lines and there is an unusually large demand for farm products. The farmer will get more for his crop this year than he got last. We have all been signally blessed. Three months, or a fourth of 1923, have passed. Conditions are much better than they were January first. America's most influential and keenest business men predict that 1923 will be a prosperous year for all of us. Let's pin our optimism to the good business nearly all of us are now doing, and make this year "Nineteen Plenty-Three." No Bitterness in Politics.

There has never been a campaign like the contest for the Mayoralty, in which colored Republicans are arrayed against colored Democrats. Mr. Preston, the independent candidate for Mayor, will poll some colored votes, but not many. So far he has offered no inducements to the masses, and many remember too well, the eight years of his previous administration, when segregation was the keynote. The bulk of the colored voters will divide their forces between Mr. Jackson and Mayor Broening. This is not only logical but the sensible thing to do. President Harding himself advised the race to divide its strength between the two parties. As long as the colored voter belongs to one party only, he is hated by the other, and handicapped by that hatred. Baltimore is normally a Democratic city, and the race needs the help and the co-operation of the Democrats in the matters of schools and health. As a group the Negro cannot afford to put all his eggs in one basket, and he shut out of all benefits everytime the Democratic party is in power, which happens to be twice as often as the Republicans. Under these circumstances, the AFRO-AMERICAN makes the appeal for a sane and sensible campaign in which there will be much LIGHT and no HEAT. Let both Democrats and Republicans carry on their appeal to the voters with energy, but without the bitterness that characterized the Senatorial campaign of two years ago.

BUDD PRAISES BOWIE NORMAL TEACHERS WHO RESIGNED MR. RATURO, notices in your last issue, that once more, that much--afflicted place, Bowie Normal, is again in the light. Job and his boils certainly did not have much on Lee and Huffy in the way of troubles. How their friends must mourn with them. But there is one difference. Job wanted to curse God and die, but John Walter Crusoe and Leonidas Friday only want to be allowed to keep on nursing at the public breast. Every now and then, some one says: "What's the use—Mr. Cook and the State Board care nothing protests. They will be supported and kept." Of course brethren, you may be right but did you ever hear this story? Here it is—Two Irishmen, newly arrived in this country found a vigorous young horse one day in a pasture. Pat decided to ride. He managed to get on the horse, but he did not know that the horse was unbroken and uninterrupted. No sooner had he mounted than his steed was wilted of anger and with wild buckles and plungings dashed round and round the pasture, while the terrified Pat held on with might and main. Mike seeing his desperate predilection, yelled "Why don't you come away from him—Why don't you come away from him." Poor Pat replied, "By faith and Jesus. It is all I can do to stay here, must loss come away." Or you may make the application. If you have ridden runaway horses, you know how hard it is to come away. But my intention in this article is to comment on the latest faculty resignations at Bowie. If your paper quotes them correctly, they quit because they could not retain their self-respect and remain. I understand that they did not have other positions, that they were in the very beginning of their educational careers, that they understood thorny that every masty, ugly and prejudicial thing possible would be done to discredit them personally and murder them future, and that this would be done by Past Grant Masters at game. It is said that they were advised by friends, who wished them well and believed in them, to stick it out—and YET THEY QUIT. What a splendid thing. This old world, hoary with deceit, with compromise, with chicanery, with betrayals and with self-selving has seldom witnessed such an unqualified assertion of, and faith in the dignity of, our people. They must add—among our people. They evidently did not intend to abuse themselves; to tawn and cringe before any little Plutonian idols, white or black.

Commander Jones, very angry over his disobedient squad, said, "I'll be hanged if I'll give a one of you a leave or two months because of you being on the job." Voice in Rear—Give me liberty or give me death!" Commander Jones—"Who said that?" Voice in Rear—Patrick Henry, despise its time-servers and traitors. Hats off, as they pass by unbeaten, unconquered and triumphant. I speak alike to men and male creatures, to gentlemen and to tools, for all of us alike owe them far more than we will ever pay. All thoughtful and honorable people in our race here in Maryland bid you—Miss Ayers, Miss Daughter, and Mr. Taylor—God speed, for it is in exact proportion to the increase of individuals like you, that respect for the integrity, character and trustworthiness of our race will grow. A. B. BLDD, D. D. Explains What Has Been Done With Funds Raised in Recent Drive for a Tuberculosis Preventorium To the Editor:— The Maryland Tuberculosis Association will appreciate your issuing the following statement in your columns regarding the 1921 campaign for a Colored Children's Health School conducted by a special committee of white and colored people with the support and co-operation of the Maryland Tuberculosis Association. It was proposed at this time to raise a fund of $25,000 for the purchase of property for a site by a campaign chiefly among the colored people. If this campaign was successful, a campaign the following year was proposed in which it was hoped considerable support would be received from the white population of Baltimore. This campaign for the purpose of presenting buildings and commencing operations. The result of the campaign to raise this $25,000 as an initial step was not successful, as only $2,061.04 gross was raised by the colored people with a few contributions from white friends. Pledges to the amount of $3,828.50 were secured, but after several attempts to collect, both by mail notices and by colored solicitors employed, it was decided unwise to spend a further effort at this time to continue the campaign to raise $25,000 were abandoned. It was hoped that at a later period an attempt might be renewed under more favorable conditions. The Maryland Tuberculosis Association bore all expenses for the campaign, which amounted to approximately the sum which was collected. It had originally taken a $1,000 option on a site which had been approved under order to detect this $1,000 was forced to purchase the property by drawing upon its budget which had been appropriated for other work. This attempt to aid in the establishment of a Colored Children's Health School involved the Maryland Tuberculosis Association to purchase $15,000, and necessitated the borrowing of money to complete its year's work, besides disbanding two of its regular departments of work. Even though the property remained an asset, its purchase from the budget of the Association through appropriate appropriations was a serious handicap to the work which was being conducted. The Maryland Tuberculosis Association, however, desire to make itplain to the colored people that the total amount of money which was contributed for this purpose, or $2,061.04 was being held a trust fund pending the future development of this project of a proposed health school. The Association is proud of its loosely defined mission to pushed to completion. The need is obvious to all, and merely awaits the securing of the necessary funds. The item of $5,331.58, as given in the condensed financial report published for the year 1922, was an expenditure covering a part of the cost of the campaign for the health school and the maintenance of a department of the Maryland University for Negro work with a special director in charge. This money represented no contribution from the colored people, but was a part of the regular funds of the Association. MARYLAND TUBERCULOSIS ASS Albert E.

The aspiration of men is to enjoy quality with the best when, but on this broad continent not a single man of your race is made the equal of a single man of ours. Go where you are treated the best, and the ban is still upon you. I do not propose to discuss this, but to present it as a fact with which we have to deal. I cannot alter it if I would."

Democracy has fallen upon an evil day. Religion has compromised with race. The government seeks to operate on the basis of caste. Our whole ethical scheme breaks down at the color line. The Ten Commandments, the Golden Rule, the Sermon on the Mount, the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution of the United States all become discontinuous when applied to the issue of race. The last refuge of democracy is in the college and the university. The college walls are the only precincts that deserve to be called sacred. Nothing should be called sacred that cannot meet the acid test of universality. Today there is more Christianity in business and education than there is in religion. The Negro gets better treatment from the ordinary white Christian in his office or at his college than at the church where he thinks he worships. The stand of Harvard will have its reassuring effect throughout the educational world. There is not a first class institution in the land that will hereafter dare draw the color line. Those institutions that continue to limit their attendance to race or religion will be forced to assume their proper place of subordination by reason of parochial or provincial restrictions. The Harvard decision makes an epoch and marks a crisis. Had she wavered at this critical moment the whole educational world would have followed the reactionary pace. The setting sun of democracy on this continent would have dropped below the horizon. But, thanks he to Harvard, the sun of democracy is risen, and will yet illuminate the whole sky.

He was, not only the negative occasion, but in large measure, the positive cause of this famous victory. His letter to President Lowell will go down as a choice bit of polemic literature. The blunt and carelessly framed reply of the President of Harvard will enhance by contrast its literary and ethical superiority.

There are certain evident points of similarity between the cause of the Negro and that of the Jew. There should exist the mutual kindness of a fellow-feeling. It was because the proscriptive provision of President Lowell bore heavily on the Jew as well as the Negro that the overseers found it easier to upset him. The setback of the Ku Klux Klan has been due to the fact that it included within the evil circle of its operation the Semitic race. In sandy ways the Negro can better his condition by bracketing his fortune with that of other peoples held in despite. The prophesy given to Abraham is still finding modern fulfilment: "in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blest." Like the Negro, the Jew finds it necessary to be constantly on guard to defend his race against insidious attacks in so-called literary and scientific treatises. The Jewish Tribune in the current issue contains a sharp remonstrance to the editors of the Encyclopedia Britannica. This world-famous publication is charged with falsifying history, encouraging anti-Semitism and ganneting the names of racial animosity. How often are we forced to make similar complaints? Lawlessness Begets Lawlessness The courts cannot punish the murderers at Perrin, Ill., because the jury will not convict. The murderers and terrorists of Mer Rouge, La., go scot free for the same reason. The same tactics so often practised upon the Negro are now being practised upon the whites. The nation needs a Dyer Bill, not as a Negro measure, but to uphold and defend the majesty of the law. A measure should be introduced in the next Congress nation-wide in its scope and purpose. The evil is wider than rage. The remedy should be commensurate with the evil. The chances of passage would be enhanced by relieving it from the stigma of a Negro measure.

The Supreme Court of the District of Columbia has just handed down a decision to the effect that an agreement among white property holders in a given section not to sell to colored people has binding'force in law. If this decision is allowed to stand it will negative the anti-segregation decision of the Supreme Court of the United States. Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. The serpent of race segregation has many heads. As soon as one is crushed, another crops out. Of course this decision will be appealed to the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia, and if not reversed, to the Supreme Court of the United States. The case has race-wide features. Every Negro in the United States is vitally concerned in the outcome. It is but the revival of segregation in another and more subtle form. James A. Cobb; Esq. is the attorney of record.

One of the saddest spectacles in our racial life was the division of the great Baptist Church into warring factions on the basis of property. The great rivals who led the hostile divisions have passed to their reward. Dr. L. K. Williams, the new head of the so-called Norris faction is devoting his energies to bridging the breach. A common publishing house is already projected. It is easy to divide; difficult to unite. Any irresponsible hothead can tear down; it requires sane statesmanship to build up. The reunion of the two wings of the Baptist section of the Christian church is a worthy end devoutly prayed for by every well-wisher of the race. The function of the church in the life of the race is now undergoing severe and serious consideration. The educated young people of the rising generation are watching with keen anxiety the degree of efficiency and integrity with which this vast religious estate is being managed. The bickering and strife which too often characterizes this management is calculated to cause these young people to discount and discredit the church. The high ecclesiastic authorities in all denominations should proceed with deliberate wisdom and devotion, lest they cause the young people to offend.

Mr. Bryan is defending the faith which Mr. Pickens is explaining away. In his first article in the Messenger (not the Crisis) the good Dean abolished Hell with a stroke of his brilliant pen. After much bombardment by the clergy, he consents in his second installment to re-establish the abode of the darned, but with a considerably lower temperature. The Dean can hardly claim originality. Col. Ingersoll came fully a generation ahead of him. On an occasion when the doughty colonel waxed particularly eloquent in ridiculing the old beliefs, an over-enthusiastic admirer called out from the audience "That's right, Bob; give 'em H-1." Quick as a flash the brilliant orator retorted: "would be glad to do so; but I haven't got it. There is where the clergy have the advantage of me."
