3 INFANTS' BODIES IN POND COLORED ARE URGED TO FORM SEPARATE M. E. DENOMINATION Bishop Anderson Fells Afro He Favors Separate Union of White and Colored Methodists LOCAL PASTORS INTERESTED Majority Say Bishop Anderson's Views Do Not Represent the Church Bishop Anderson Telegraphs Afro Conferring his efforts to separate the colored membership from the M. E. Church, Bishop William P. Anderson of Cincinnati (M. E. Church, North) telegraphed the Afro-American today as follows: I AM IN FAVOR OF THE UNION OF ALL THE COLORED BRANCHES OF METHODISM, JUST AS I AM IN FAVOR OF THE UNION OF ALL THE WHITE BRANCHES OF METHODISM. William M. Anderson Bishop M. E. Church Cincinnati, O. Efforts to secure the consent of the colored leaders of the Methodist Episcopal Church to withdraw and form a separate church, were made at a recent meeting held in the M. E. Publishing House in Cincinnati, Ohio. Failing in this, it is said effort will be made to have them unite with the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church, which is the colored branch formerly affiliated with the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Representatives of the M. E. Church North and the M. E. Church South, met at Cincinnati to discuss unification, which has been ardently sought for some- They brought with them to Cincinnati, colored leaders of the C. M. E. Church and these held separate meetings away from the Publishing House with the colored leaders of the M. E. Church North. Jushop Anderson Speaks Bishop W. F. Anderson, white of the M. E. Church, is declared to have favored the separation in an address to this colored group when he said that the white Methodists would still hold the church, while the black Methodists also separated. The union of colored schools now supported by both churches, he said would make the colored Methodists the most important educational institution in the country, he added, while white Methodists would back them with sufficient funds to "squeeze the independent denominations out." Calls Bishop's Views Private Rev. Ernest Watkins, district superintendent of the North Palm Beach district said when told of Bishop Anderson's telegram, "Those are his private views and the rank and file of the membership are not in accord with the pastor of Adv. Church said." "I that this would be the next step. Both colored and white will divide on issue in the next General Conference in May 1824. There is certainty that Anderson's views approved." Church Resolved Resolution Church Passed local newswriters, prominent local lyman said "our quarterly conference in Sharp Street Church passed a resolution asking the District Superintendent to inform us to what is proposed concerning the colored membership if the unification plans for our work received a reply. Dr. Hughes' Views Dr. W. A. C. Hughes, one of the general officers of the M.B. Church, when shown the diagram of Bishop McDowell said that undoubted the Bishop was not those of the church. After a conference with Bishop McDowell of this area, he gave the following statement: **Plan for Unification** The present plan as published is to create two great jurisdictions each having its own jurisdictional conference which will be a dedicated body having certain well de Jurisdiction No. 1 will be the Methodist Episcopal Church as it is now in the United States Jurisdiction No. 2 will be the Methodist Episcopal Church-South.

LEADERS CANNOT KEEP LABOR FROM COMING TO THE NORTH Meridian, Miss., April 28—Reaction seems to be setting in on the white farmers of this section who have been robbing colored farmers for the past fifty years. In every city and town the Mayor and leading white men are appealing to ministers and leaders of our group to stem the title of the exodus which is now to be falling. The appeal is now to be falling on deeds as far as as our group is determined, and the whites are getting desperate.

CRISFIELD POND YIELDS THREE BABY BODIES Parents Too Poor To Pay For Proper Burial, Is Theory UNDERTAKER IS QUIZED Authorities Believe He Sunk Them In Water Instead of Burying Them Crisfield, Md., April 26—When the bodies of two colored babies and the head of another were found in a snuck in a pond outside the town, word was broadcast that voodooism was being practised among colored people. Investigation showed, however, that the children had died from natural causes and instead of being properly buried the bodies were put into a snuck and thrown into the pond. Dr. C. E. Collins, is examining the birth certificates for the past four years and checking them against the names as the only means of identification. Local undertakers were also quizzed with the hope that they knew something of the cleaning up of a nearby undertaking establishment. Chief of police Kerwin explained that the establishment had recently undergone a renovation, and in view of the fact that the finger were found in the bag containing the bodies of two children, this led to the theory that that the children were in the rubbish from the undertaking establishment. Although a local fire engine pumped the pond dry where the bag was found, the police were unable to provide additional evidence of murdered children. Dr. Collins had the two bodies found last week taken to the morgue, where he carefully ex- Death had ensured about eight months before.

Dead or not, they have been pursuing the investigation, laughed at the theory of witchcraft, having anything to do with the deaths. Bodies Not Buried Only two theories now are held by the police and the county officer. One is that children were killed in deaths and their bodies were kept because of the inability of the parents to pay for burial, and the other is that, one was paid for bodies and another carried out the contret. As there was no evidence of violence of any kind on the bodies, police are centering their efforts on trying to locate the persons who violated the health regulations (disposing of the bodies in such a Garnet Brown was among those arrested by the police.

DOLLAR MONEY NEAR MILLION MARK Reports Of Finance Board And Extension Departments Made At Annual Meeting redicts Union Of M. E. Factions and Elimination Washington, D. C. April 29.—meeting of the Financial Board and the Church Extension Board of the African Methodist Episcopal church in the city today; brought some of the most representative ministers of the country, and any of the leading professional business men of Washington, co-delined with the two boards at the White-haw Hotel Wednesday Inducted by the report of Secretary R.

E. church bearing the million dollar mark, demonstrating to the people the race is in progress, and the doctrine of Ethiopia is being put into the people and they are carrying it out.

Jones, of Wilberforce, presided over the Financial Board at 140 Fourth Street, N. 140 Fourth Street, N. addressed a strong adressing racial solidarity which is essential to the growth and uphead of the whole race. After the preliminary opening, and the introduction of visitors, Dr. John R. Hawkins, secretary, submitted his President John Hurst, of Baltimore, presided over the Church Extension Board, in headquarters, 1535 Flower Street, where work being done by the A. M. E. Church, of its wonderful growth, and its work in all sections of the country. He spoke of how important it was for Negroes to present themselves and be necessary for them to defend on others. He spoke of the men of the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Methodist Episcopal Church in the elimination of the Negro. The election of two presidents was the first step in that direction.

OLDRED ARE UDGED TO FORM SEPARATE M. E. DENOMINATION (Continued From Page One) not the Negro should continue membership in a body so large overwhelmingly white—but a part of the joint com- mission's As to the C. M. E. Church There has been some outside discussion about the relation of the Methodist Church to the union, the relation of the M. E. Church to the Methodist Episcopal Church is purely fraternal the only question is how green a proposal to understand the missionary and educational program of this Negro church with substantial financial aid from the unified church. The Church c. E. Church is in assessed in the proposed union with unification any more than other distinctly Negro denominations. If one is disturbed by what may have been spoken somewhere with membership to the proposed union, set him remember that all that the commission has agreed to has been given to the press and published socially and in this there has not one thing to which any of any race group could take exception. Bishop William F. Anderson's wish for the union of all colored another union of all white branches of Methodism is no part of the can and no part of the discussion of the joint commission on unification of the Methodist Episcopal and the Methodist Episcopal Church South.

"Nearer My God To Thee" Second, and "Lead Kindly Light." Third "The Einde," a musical magazine, has recently conducted a concert to assess the favorite lyric. More than 32,000 nominations were sent in. "Abide With Me" was the leader, and it considerably majority. "Nearest My Heart," the "Lead Kindly Light" is third, "Rock of Ages" fourth, with "Jesus Lover of My Son" and "Love Me Mighty," as the next in order. The referendum was conducted over a very wide range and may be said to be thoroughly representative of the choice of this country. "Abide With Me" was written by the Rev. Henry Francis Lyte (1753-1847) an obscure English organist and composer. He died before his death, after administered his communion service to his parishers. The music was composed by a well known English organist and composer. William Henry King (1759-1839) was the second in favor is "Nearer My God to Thee." The words by Sarah Flower Adams and the music by the American musical collector Lester (1797-1892) These are the hymns of simple faith, of hope, of reverence. "Abide with me; fast falls the events; the darkened sky, Lord with me abide. Swift to its close ebb out life's floating day— Its glories fade, its kingdoms must away. Change and death in all around I see. O Thou who changest not, abide with me." Th it is the cry from the heart of reverent America - the appeal of the wanderer lost in the shadow of his bewildered, forsaken by a pride of intellect which perhaps has been a false guide - and abandoned him in the wilderness to the darkness; in the confinement; in the conviction; in science me soff, now the new philosophies seek to destroy and give nothing in place of that they take away--yet despite these the daring crying is "Abide not-Abide with me!" And those who abandon all hope and utter that prayer as of a lost child in the darkness of the forest calls for his will be heard--will be heard. That song is a prayer, as well as a song; it stirs the profoundest depths of anyone with a snark of recurrence left, and its appeal from mortals, across crossroads of the internal ways. Much of the same nature is "Nearer My God to Thine" and the Cure and the Newman grand hymn on the first day of Light," the second and third selections of the people. The tremendously persuasive appeal of music, and of hymns such as the three the people have selec-ted in these modern days is much when the congregations were expected to furnish the music by singing hymns. Let a church he all but darkened, let the three the people have said are their favorites, and let there be a short, cornet, fervent and reverent prayer - and maybe more people would go to church if such services were more common. ****** More music - more of the love of the Father - more of the helping hand reaching down out of the infilite - and the message of hope wafhed on sweet and solemn music - and there will be more of them to struggle in out of the darkness.

CALVERT 2077 CHEERS DEMOCRATS Liberty Hall Filled To Hear Broening and Preston Flayed That the Negro is no longer a vassal of the republican party, was clearly shown Monday night at Liberty Hall, where more than three hundred men and women among them, some of the best colored people in the city, listened to speakers flay Mayor Brenning for his treatment of the colored people and permission of the Ku Klux Klan to parade. James H. Preson came in for a share of criticism for his attitude on segregation during his tenure of office as mayor. Prof. D. S. S. Goodloe, president of the Standard Benefit Society, vividly acquainted his hearers with the many promises made by Mayor Browning and said, "My nephew, who had made many pre-cedents, promised to given the Negro less consideration than any former mayor of the city and permitted the Ku Klux Klan to parade and create fear in the breasts of our group. Henry F. Arnold in his opening address said, there were a large group of colored men and women who opposed Mayor Browning, but were afraid of sentiment and would not dare take a stand. He asked if they were ashamed of Mayor Hylan of New York City, who had made a colored man to the attorney of that city and Tammany Hall which had helped to send a colored man to the State Logislaure? Other speakers were, J. Howard Payne, presiding, Truly Hatchett, Rev C. J. Edwards and Jacob C. N. C. Another meeting is to be held Friday night at Sharp St. Community House.

Miss Martin opened the bill with a new batch of "Blues" songs that were an improvement over the numbers offered the previous week, and she won a fine band for each number played. She was and was to respond to demand from critics. Miss Bertha Lindsay again presided at the piano, where she spanked the ivories and had them doing tricks to the accompaniment of the Madison's mouthful caroling. The Davis Sisters followed with a singing, talking and dancing skit that pleased the large audience immediately, drawing one of the finest receptions a sister team usually receives. One of the sisters makes her audience dressed as a ragged newsboy, only a keen eye of comedy but also a gift for paths in the recital of a poem entitled "Mother." The Watts Brothers are as clever a duo of aerobatics as is to be found in the film, time and again an assessment of tumbling balancing that drew round after round of applause, the entertaining phase of the net being added by the comedy antics of one of the brothers who works in clown tide like. fine, program of pictures which will be shown next week in conjunction with the vaudeville as follows: Monday and Tuesday "The Man Who" Played God; Wednesday and Thursday "The Greatest Question" and Friday and Saturday, Will Rogers in "The Headless Horseman."

The Woodens offered a novel act consisting of hoop juggling and unicycle riding that was well received. Both are clever and are on the up grade in this department of the profession that all too few of these seeking to make a name for themselves in the wacky field are willing to make an attempt.

In 1836, Carver addressed Congress on the subject of a higher tariff on peanuts and succeeded in raising the rate from $40 a ton to $10, a great service to growers of the South.

Arnold Reports are being circulated over town by Browning supporters that town Howard W. Jackson will not continue the building of the Colored High School if elected Mayor of the city and will also get rid of the colored doctors and nurses employed by the city. Those who are using this propaganda, are using a false argument against Mr. Jackson and are doing more to create a race issue than anything that could be done. Suppose Mr. Jackson were to seize upon this argument and it before the white voters who do not want Negro to have a de- cent school. He would gain cent school. He would gain thousands of voters among prejudiced whites. Mr. Jackson is too much of a gentleman to create a race issue, and is looking at the matter in a clear and clean cut way. Mr. Jackson could go into East Baltimore and create prejudice against our group that would not him enough votes to vote, but he is more of that kind of stuff. Be careful my colored friends, you are likely to allow your grievances to over-shadow your opportunity.

Fine Presentation of Morality Play Pleased Thousands At Douglass Last Week Gave Interesting Reading of Title Role, Also Coached Players Before an audience that crowded every inch of available space, with hundreds being turned away, the first presentation of "Everywoman" a five-act morality play was presented at the Bouglass Theatre last Thursday evening. N Mr. Mary Ross- The title role Mary Dorsey, as was played by "Everywoman" Madam Mary Ross-Dorsey of Boston supported by a large cast of local amateurs, who had been coached for several weeks by her. The play was pres- ented under the auspices and for the benefit of the Y. W. C. A., promoted by Messrs. Linwood Koster and Everett Lane. The demand for seats became so large that it was decided to repeat the performance on stage evening. Mayor Browning and party occupied a box Thursday evening. The theme of the play deals with the pilgrimage of "Everywoman" seeking Love. She's out with her lowly cottage, taking her three close companions, with Beauty and Modesty with her and goes to the great city. There in her pursuit of Love she meets many disappointments. In the mean time she gradually loses her three companions. Modesty is lost to her in the theatre. At a great banquet in her honor Beauty dies, and finally cast adrift in a snowstorm in the streets of the city, Time kills Youth. It is then that Truth who had warned her at the onset of her pigmentation, up- and leads her back to the cottage where she whom she had up bind. in the theatre, she graduately loses her three companions. Modesty is lost to her in the theatre. At a great banquet in her honor Beauty dies, and finally cast, adrift in snowstorm in the streets of the city, Time kills Youth. It is then that Truth who had warned her at the outset of her pilgrimage, appears and leads to the cottage where she finds King Love, whom she had unwittingly left behind. As a dramatic offering, the play takes precedence over anything that has been presented by local amateurs in recent years.

Work High Class Also high praise must be accorded her work in the title role. While the captious critic might be inclined to pick flaws in her reading, which partakes more of the old school of histrionism than of the modern school there were no moments when she failed to embrace the mood of the character. However, her work in the lighter mood was her best. While much of the credit as we stated above, for the fine work of the local talent goes to the Madam, there were a number of characterizations which evinced a natural talent that superimposed the instruction given, and thus deserves a special word of commendation. Miss Coleman a Star The first we single out for special mention is Miss Dorothy Coleman, in the role of Youth. The work of this young lady was in lighter moods and in the sadder phases, her work was not only superior to any amateurs we have seen hereabouts, but outranked many professionals. This we understand, was her first role in the case and moreover, she had not been originally picked for the part. Others whose work stood out we're Everett Lane, who was capital as Lord Witless in English - nobloman, Linwood Koger who revealed real comedic talent as Bluff, Alaney McGowan who run Koger a close second in the comedy line as Stuff, the Misses Hermione and Constantia Wharton a s 100 Frank Sorrell, who surprised his friends by putting some real fire in the role of Passion ad put over a baritone song finely, Lewis I.

Baltimore is among the cities on the road schedule. The appearance of James H. Presson at the funeral of the late Dr. J. R. L. Diggs at Trinity Baptist Church last week created an unfavorable impression in political circles. Heretofore, Mr. Preston has made no effort to speak at colored meetings. It was reported that he called up the family of the deceased and asked for permission to have a word to say. They also stated that Turner rushed. This room immediately after the robbery, changed his clothes and came back to the scene even before the crowds had dispersed. He even talked to the police and others who were trying to find the identity of the robber. Wilson Offers, Alibi When arraigned, Wilson offered an alibi and supported by a number of witnesses. According to the testimony of the girls he left the city on the 3rd. J.

Bosses don't rule where voters think for themselves. What man do you want for Mayor of Baltimore? You want the man who will give you lower taxes, plenty of work and the best government. You know Preston. You remember when he was Mayor. Before the war, during the war and after the war he kept your tax rate down to an average of $1.99. Broening put the tax rate up to $2.97 for four years. Everyone who pays rent or owns a house has to pay this high tax rate. Bryant, who is running with Jackson, helped to make this high tax rate and says that Jackson can reduce it only from two cents to seven cents. Preston says he can make the tax rate at least 25 cents to 50 cents lower. And Preston knows, because he was Mayor for eight years—the best Mayor Baltimore ever had. Baltimore grew bigger under Preston than under any other Mayor. There was more work, more prosperity, more progress under Preston than under any other Mayor. Elect him Mayor again. Vote for him on Tuesday, May 8. Don't listen to people who tell you to vote for Jackson or Broening. They are trying to fool you. Demand Preston! He is the best of all the candidates. He is going to be the next Mayor of Baltimore. He is the friend of all the people and the champion of Home Rule for Baltimore.

Because as Republican Mayor he permitted the parade of the Klu Klux Klan when a Democratic Governor refused them the use of State property. Because he is bringing the colored schools into politics. Because the little recognition he has given the race has been given grudgingly. Because he has humiliated the colored people in every way possible. Because we are too proud to appreciate campaign promises and back slapping on the eve of election and disdain any non recognition between times. This old stuff does not go long with intelligent colored people. Because he did not secure the school on Calhoun and Laurens streets. Credit for that is almost entirely due Daniel Joseph, former Councilman from the 14th Ward. Because credit for colored physicians and nurses in the schools are due largely to McGuinn and Fitzgerald and other interested colored people. Because the High School is the result of a ten-year drive on this plea by the colored people and their loyal support of all school loans and not due to Broening's interest. We expect him to claim credit next for the Golden Blocks in the New Jerusalem. WE ARE FOR JACKSON Because the colored people who know him have confidence in his fairness to our people. Because his attitude towards all classes a Register of Wills has been fair and untarnished. Because his executive and business capacity has been clearly demonstrated as head of and director of many corporations. Because Mr. Jackson says no child should be deprived of schooling and the best facilities. Because we believe he will perform not merely promise.

No.5 PROVIDED COLORED BAND FOR OPEN AIR CONCERTS IN THE SUMMER the J. F. Southwest Baltimore recommended as needed at once by the Strayer Survey, was given out last week. His Honor made this statement wherever he has spoken in the past few weeks, and thus advertisements broadcasted by his campaign committee. School Board Does Not Know On the other hand the School Board when asked what new elementary school building would be erected for colored children, told the APHO-AMERICAN that it could not make any statement now. George Sherrets of the Public Improvement Commission, asked the same question this week said: "The matter is up to the joint committee of the School Board and the improvement Commission. No decision has been reached." Western Site Considered Asked whether it was planned to turn over the Western High School to colored people instead of building them a new elementary school, Mr. Sherrets said that this matter had not been discussed. According to the Mayor, the erection of this new building for a colored elementary school to take place of the miserable structures now housed on Druid Hill Avenue, Argyle Avenue and Division Street, wait only on securing a proper site. Sometimes ago the AFRO-AMERICAN was told that the only estimates on sites in the Northwestern district of the Commission were those secured when a site for the colored high school was being sought two years ago. Other Old Schools May Be Turned Interest in the new colored elementary schools in the North-western section arises from the fact that it was listed in the Strayer Report as the tenth project to be taken up in the School Building Plans. Money for it was to come out of the first loan of $6,000,000. All of the buildings cost more than Dr. Strayer estimated so more of the funds be brought from the first loan. This makes it necessary that the new elementary school, if built at all must come out of the second loan of $15,000,000 already authorized. Failure of the School Board to include the new colored elementary in either its first or second building program indicates that the order of construction as received by Dr. Strayer will not be possible. The possibility of turning over the Western High School to colored people is also said to postpone consideration of the plans for a new building. Other buildings, which it is said the Board intends converting into colored schools are those at Pennsylvania Ave, and Robert St. and Ridge Avenues. This later was originally built for colored children. City Engineer Won't Provide Pastors' Dinner Are the Republicans playing politics, by having the ceremonies connected with the ground breaking for the colored High School just a few days before election? They say not, but— It developed at the meeting of the Citizen's Committee at the Mayor's office Monday to plan the program for the exercises that city Engineer Peringing has been importomed by some of the Republican leaders to put up a dinner for faithful pastors. The following dialogue developed: City Engineer—I don't see why we should pay for a dinner to the preachers any more than to any other group of citizens and workers. Dr. Ernest Tyones — We should have the money for the same money that President Harding is always sent the fattest turkey in the land once or twice a year. City Engineer—Well I never was in favor of sending the President a turkey. And there be no dinner. And there be that In its effort to please and provide sample amusement facilities, the management also plans the installation of a playground which will be thrown open free of all cost to the children. There will be a sand pit where the little ones can play with their buckets and use their hearts to conceive swings, see-saws and slides. In addition to this the management also plans the construction of an athletic court. Bryant is regarded as favoring much needed reforms in school administration. An outing department is a part of Calvert Street, not the new organization and experts in Truly Fashion, M. Reedy, Chas, charge of this will co-operate with the Nelson, Dr. J.

There is no organized movement for Preston, as far as is known. Under new management and with better and more adequate facilities for the accommodation and entertainment of patrons, Wonderland Park will open for the season Sunday afternoon. Much money has been spent and a great effort has been put forth to make the park an ideal amusement center for wholesome recreation and a strong bid will be made during the season for the patronage of women and children. The park property has been fenced in to keep out all undesirable elements and the park itself has been greatly improved. NEW WATER SYTEM A shady grove with benches has been provided: a new water system which will furnish pure drinking has been installed. One of the unfortunate conditions during the summer was the new drinking. Pagingizing this condition, the new management took immediate steps to install the new system. The need of a picnic grove with benches and tables so that families could come to the park with their lunches was also recognized by the management and arrangements were made for this. FINE PLAYGROUND In its effort to please and provide ample amusement facilities, the management also plans the installation of a playground which will be thrown free of all cat to the children. There will be a sand pile where the little ones can play with their backs and shovels to their feet, swings, seesaws and slides. In addition to this management also plans the construction of an athletic field. The athletic field, however will depend upon the support demonstrated by the Churches lodges and organizations which are planning pipelines. PICNIC EVERY DAY An outing department is a part of the new organization and experts in charge of this will co-operate with committees and individuals in giving picnic service. It is the desire of the management to have a picnic at the park every day the season and the department will communicate with Churches, in an effort to book them up and give them service. An offer of a liberal share in the gross will be made to these organizations Boyd H. White is in charge of this event. Much effort has been put forth on the improvement of the park property during the winter months. In addition to the clearing of the site for the picnic grove, the grounds have been generally improved. The ingroom, too has been improved and followed up with the construction of Tepecresi tale about this season to the curries of Professor Ike Dixon's orchestra of selected musicians. FREE VAUDEVILLE PLANNED Many interesting and novel features are being considered by the management. It is the desire of the management to stage some big free acts and conferences to this event have been held within in New York, Boston Philadelphia and Chicago. The occasion of the opening last Sunday there will be a band concert and a special dance program has been arranged for every evening during the week. As to the rides and games, there's an abundance of thrills awaiting to answer the call to the great doors. The Shooting Show is snappy, peppy coaster which grought so much joy and pleasure during previous seasons has been given a compulsory hauling and will be in operation on any day with more of a thrill than ever. Then too, the Aeroplane Swing will go higher into the, the thrills of aviation. The other amusement devices include the Double Whirl, the Ferris Wheel, the Carrousel. In add'l have's a score and more other fun-making devices and games to bring toy and pleasure. FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1923 Quarles, 1801 H alley, of his feet crushed Saturn in a drill press on which working,urned over. Staken to St. Joseph Hossein he remained under TO DEMOCRATS LLS 1893 STAY OME MOVEMENT Colored Voters 'Stay Home' To Prevent Action of Republican Mayor ON DIFFERENT NOW Ming Colored Men of Backers of Democratic Candidate The fact that the colored vote of the city will be divided among Mayor Broening, former Mayor Jas, H. Preston and Howard W. Jackson in the mayoralty election on May 8th, recalls the stay-at-home movement in 1883. Aroused over the "bily-whitees" getting control of the Republican City Committee, the late Hiram Matzy and other organized Democrats, is estimated that 7,000 colored voters stayed away from the polls that year insuring the re-election of Mayor Latrobe, Democrat, over Wm. T. Malster, Republican, by about 3.0 million votes. Come Back in 1860 The Republicans gained control over the city in 1895. Dissatisfaction grew over the political treatment given the race and the Committee of 100 was formed in 1897. Some concessions were made and Wm. T. Maister was elected mayor that year, but voters farther than any mayor had been to the colored citizens of Baltimore. Browning With Maister Along with Maister, Mayor Browning was elected to his first public office—the city Council. He was present 22nd Ward. Mayor Presston's first election in 1911, when he won out by about 700 votes, was due to hostility of colored voters to Mayor Tinnanus. When he was re-elected in 1915, hundreds are said to have ed him. He never did anything that race in a political way however. Situation Different Now In 1892 the idea of a color voter supporting Democratic majority to the great majority of the race. Now color- ed voters study the candidates and regard lightly the party labels. Those in charge of Mayor Broenings campaign for re-election realize this state of affairs and are now bending their energies in attempting to prevent a large defection to the part of the Republican voters. City Councilmen Warner T. McGuinn and W. L. Fitzgerald, who are candidates for re-election, are working like Trojans for the Republican standard-hearer—Walter Emmerson is eager for the election of the whole Republican ticket. Opposition To Tome Some voters are asserting that they will support all of the Republican candidates exp. Controllor Tome, whom he went seven months before the month system went into effect and could have given substantial recognition to the race. Some colored voters, who favor Howard W. Jackson say they will also vote for Howard Bryant for re-election as President of the Council. Bryant is regarded as favoring much needed reforms in school administration. Resumes Busy The Republican campaign got into full swing following the rally of party workers at Hazazer's Hall Tuesday of las week. Much activity is being manifested at the headquarters of the City Committee on Calvert Street, near Kingston. Truly Hatchie, M. Ready, Chas. Wesley, M. Ready, Chas. Nelson Price, Dr. Jas. A. White, Dr. J. C. Carper, J. Stewart Davis, Dr. Harry McCard, Clark Smith, J. Howard Payne, Rev. W. W. Allen, Rev. J. H. Green and others are backing Jackson.

It neutralizes Stomach Acidity, Prevents Food Fermentation, Sour Gassy Stomach and Acid Indigestion Doubtless if you are a sufferer from indigestion, you have already tried pepins, charcoal, drugs and various digestive aids and these things will not cure your trouble in some cases do not even give life. But before giving up hope and deciding you are a chronic dyspeptic try the effect of a little Bisurated Magnesia—not the ordinary commercial carbonated water milk, but the pure Bisurated Magnesia which you can obtain from any drugstist in either ordered or tablet form. Take a teaspoonful of the powder or three compressed tablets with a little water after your next meal, and see what a difference this makes. It will instantly neutralize a dangerous, harmful substance in the stomach which now causes your food to ferment, burn, making gas, wind, violence, heartburn and the bloated or heavy, lumpy feeling that seems to follow most everything you eat. You will find that provided you take a little Blursted Magnesium immediately, you will not eat anything and enjoy it without any danger of pain or discomfort to follow and moreover, the continued use of the Blursted Magnesium is the stomach in any way so long as there are any symptoms of acid indigestion.

Miss Hazel MacBeth presided. Speakers included Mayor Broening, who congratulated the women on their showing, and urged the election of the whole Republican ticket including the councilmen. He was followed by C. L. T. Gould, candidate for the presidency of the City Council. Paul Ellison, City Council Tm. L. Fitzgerald, Mrs. Grane Spofford, chairman of the Federation of Republican Women, and Mrs Richard Sheekels. McGUNN APPLADED The high point of the meeting was the address of City Councilman Warner T. McGuinn, who declared that the Democrats had done that Brooming and Harding have done, he urged that the Republicans right "within the ranks" and not desert to the Democrats. Mr. McGuinn said Mayor Broening had disappointed him in refusing to appoint a member on the Jail Board and in refusing to hold out for colored constables. "President Harding has disappointed me also in his administration," said Mr. McGuinn, "also in the wake of a break in the Maryland delegation at Chicago from Wood to Hurling. FIGHT IN THE BANKS "In spite of these things, I urge the colored voters to fight within the ranks rather than desert to men like Preston, who sight years ago kept us in the courts fighting segregation measures, and to men like downsikon and the Democrats to build a traditional enemies of the Nero. "I prophesy that if Brooming is not elected, colored children will never enter the new million dollar big school. It will be given to white children just as the building at Carrion and Rigg avenues was given to them after being erected. This effort, made under Preston to take away the colored school at Saratoga and Mount streets. "To the white friends, I want to say that we have kept the faith in nominating two colored and one white candidate for City Council in this district. We could have nominated the race issue as the Democrats expected, but we didn't. Mr. Ellison's name is on the ticket. "Likewise we expect you to keep the faith with us in the general election. We expect you to say to you, 'We are the colorists' and to nominating to the colored voters; Vote for Ellison. Fitzgerald and McGinnifon. If we are double-crossed in this election, and white Republicans leave us home in order to vote with white Democrats, I tell you there will pass a many a year before we Republicans organization in this district. It will all be shot to pieces."

This arouses the jealousy of some of his white neighbors and they send him a warning not to leave town. John refuses to be intimidated and after postponing his trip for a few days to please his mother sets out at midnight for the rainy station. Six never-do-well lads of his own age him in the dark forest. SECOND INSTALLMENT CHAPTER IV. A Shiver of fear traversed John Walton's spine as he saw the dim shadowy figures before him and realized what they meant to do to him. Just for the fraction of a second, however. Quickly rallying his powers he put as bold a face on the matter as possible. He remembered having read somewhere that mobs are composed of cowards and bullies—men who would not think of facing an opponent alone, except when victory seemed certain. The only way to treat with the mob, the same thought told him, was either to amuse it in some spectacular way, or to face it without the least show of fear, as an experienced trainer of wild beasts. Once show the least sign of cowardice and You are lost. Luckily, he had a resolver. This gave him added confidence. But they were at least six to one, and might there not be at least one gun in the party? All of this reasoning flashed through his brain with lightning Fapidity. Although taken aback with the suddenness of the attack, we all get along pretty well as he had been rehearsing something that should you be against me now? All of this reasoning flashed through his brain with lightning with the suddenness of the attack. he had been rehearsing something of a similar nature in his mind of a decision had been made in a second. "I'm only a poor Negro, trying to get along. No need to be jealous of me. I have to strive like the devil to win over you, can get what you want with a thousand part of the trouble I had. Put in the time you use in thinking how to keep us colored folks back doing something so far ahead of us you won't be able to see us. Now, you may all go! Good-bye and good-luck. You may return for your things in half an hour—not before. I may be somewhere's 'round His first impulse was to shoot straight at the flashlight, but the camera stopped. He mother and grandfather deterred him. No, he must try to escape without taking life, if possible. He sailed on a boat, but the water "sand still, boys. No, it move. The first man that moves is a dead man. I have you covered. He stepped quickly out of the beam of light and saw a better view of his disappearance. He thought he saw a movement "if some one were leveling a gun Come to me and shake it sharp" he said the firm voice, "what I say, I am pointing straight at Jim Stewart's eye. I shoot at three. He begins to count rapid- ly." "John, can I say something", said 3 voice. "Sure, Hen." "Cool, you're right, John, I'm serp." "Me, top," piped another voice. "That's all right. Go along now. First give me that light. Goodbye." "Stop," Stop! Heen, Josh, Bill For God sake, stop! Heen, Josh that John would be as good as his word. "Don't shoot me, John," he whin- "Stop!" The six young men left. "The idea of *no apologise* to that nigrah," he heard some one say with an anth in a low voice. The little band stopped short. "I've a great mind to shoot you anyway, Jim," said John in mock This made John think of possible danger to his mother and grandmother. He shouted through the darkness and said, "I will eat you or I will snuck some night and make a Swiss cheese of somebody." "We all jes' came to tell you good-bye," whined someone. "I knew it." John lathered grimly his head in Stewart's hand. he commanded. "Remember. I have your right eye covered, one false move and you'll never eat another piece of sow belly, or go out to the market. You can see you right now lying on Campbell's undertaking slab all tressed up ready for the worms. Taking the gun, the cartridges and the knives, he pitched them into the woods. He then picked them up, thinking deeply upon the incident. "They're to be" pitched "rather than censured," he said half aloud. "They were brought up that way. When their parents and even the machinery of the state" he crept into them, just must have them this very sort of thing, how can you expect any better?" Taking out his revolver he kissed it: "God bless you, little gun," he said, "you sure saved my life that Jim Stewart advanced trembling. "Now turn that light round, and but me see the members of this farewell committee. I'll be here little party. 'Hello Will and Hien, and Bill. Why gosh, you're here too! So you all came to see me off and josh me a little, ch? Quite a nice little farewell party, I should say, be here. I will ask you to drop that shotgun. Oh, anywhere. At your feet will do. Will Stewart, I think I will take that raw-hide whip as a souvenir. Just drop it right then. I'll get it later. Thank you. Will." CHAPTER V. John stumbled his way through the dark pine forest giving nowhere to hide, and left behind. He came into a clearing at last, and looked at his watch by the moon, which had recently risen, he saw it was a quantized station in another hour at least, which would mean a wait of an hour or so. He stumbled strange presentiment warned him of danger. What if the returning The lads, all of whom were about John's age, looked like a pack of whipped curs. Now boys, continued John blinking as he nailed his knives or guns? Turn your pockets out and let's see. Move quick. I hate to have my finger ship on this trigger.

He was afoot, and the possse could easily overtake him at the station. The sateset way, the sateset way, the sateset way, on some other way; on foot, if necessary. When he reached the cross-roads, instead of going to the station, he strung the ropes, and reached the highway leading to the city. On and on, he trudged in the bracing morning air. The sun was just rising over the tops of the pines-cad hills, making the deep blue sky like myriads of diamonds. The dewdaken cob-webs on the ripening corm hung like glistening strings of amethysts. The bird's nest, the all-weddolent with the perfume of early autumn. How beautiful it was! John Walton's heart was heavy within him as he walked through the scene of many happy childhood hours, perhaps never to return. "What a pity it is," he murmured, "that some of our white folks are so bad and cruel. What a paradise, the Southland where to life, where to please, where only man is vile. Oh, if they would only forget their unreasonable hatred of us and let us all join hands for the common good, how happy we all, black and white would be." Several automobiles passed him almost stifling his throat, dust from his mouth, the dog that had just passed stopped and the drive called out: "Jump up if yo' like. How far you goin?" Running up, John thawed the drive and got up beside him. "I am going to Atlanta," said John. "I see goin' to Kinsland, about six miles from then," said the driver, starting up his wagon. "You can fetch a trolley car from the eight into Atlanta." "How?" "Say, Ah jes' come from East Brighton. A great big mob is waiting for the train from Easton foh a nigger who thou claims robbed some white folks in Beck- enridge woods." "Did you hear what the Negro looked like?" Lightish suit, lightish suit, and brown hat. I hudt's sumbody say." John realized what a narrow escape he had had, coming to the mob and being telephoned to a mob had telephoned to East Brighton, the station abcad? Would any harm come to his life? Would his bitterly reproached himself for having exposed them, to danger and took a solemn oath to take revenge?

After racking his brain for some time he at last solved the problem by writing the postman and asking him the latest news, under an assumed name. Early next morning he received a reassuring reply, and buying a ticket he started Northward that afternoon. All the reminder of that day he speed on in the Jimmy Crow car until he reached Washington. Here he had to change cars. He went to the car nearest the engine and entered it so only waved a hand within. Stealing suddenly out again to the ground he met a colored horror. "Wherever you want.

The respect showed him made him feel more like a man more like his ideal character in life, he strange power stealing over him, as he recalled how he had had to crawl to white people like a slave all his life. He remembered his hard-up hightight to get an education under those trying circumstances. He had suddenly seen a great light. "If all the North is like this," he said triumphantly, "I am going to show the white folks back home what a black boy can do when he gets a near chance." Arriving at Nortonville, he went over to the university the next morning. A student on the campus directed him to the registrar's office. The registrar started with surprise when he saw him. Are you John Walton?" he asked. John presented his credentials. On glancing at them the registrar greeted him cordially and congratulated him on his success. He returned him over to assistant who, after the necessary formulas, ascertained him on his success. Promising the assistant to be present in the assembly hall the next morning, John stepped into the outer office. Suddenly he stopped and looked at the face of the man he could face to face with a tall young man of elegant appearance in a well-lit brown suit of expensive material.

They marry, they seem so attentive, devoted, sympathetic and obliging. I have known men to drive six to ten miles to call on a girl to take her out for a social evening. She married her husband, which she said was an actual truth. When he was courting her, they attended services at a host church and the couple then lived recently lost a near relative she was dressed in mourning which made the heat seem more intense. The church was crowded and the couple then took in the gallery. Phinnae said, "Isn't it warm in here." He said, "Yes, but I am satisfied anywhere you are." This made this girl his bride in the autumn. A few summers later, she asked him would he like to accompany her to church. He said, "No, it is too hot, you need not think I am going to be cooped up in church as hot as it is." S. J.

J. In two brilliant ball games, the Black Sox, Baltimore's representative, in the new Eastern League, administered two dazzling coats of the old, kalsomine to the Irvington All-Stars, while at Maryland Park last Sunday, 12-0 in the ball, and 7-0 in the 7-inning night. The entire roster of Sox players, new, and old, were on hand, flanked by some 2,600 spectators, which gave the event an almost mid-season appearance. The Sox added to this latter illusion by staging two games that for brilliance were mid-season in every particular. Rojo and Mahoney, the last of the new men to arrive, were on hand and were selected as the butter of the first game. Mahoney only pitched five innings. Mitchell taking his place. Not only did most of them club the ball, but some of the most flashy fielding that one rarely witnesses was uncorked among which were five double plays. The principal stars in these plays were Wilson, who figured in all five. Poles, who took part in four, and did some other brilliant work around short, and C. Smith, who also figured in four. MAHONEY STICKS OUT Mahoney's work during his five innings on the mound was gilt-edge in every particular. He offered an assortment that really baffled the opponent on many occasions and stamps him as a pitcher that is going to be a real "pain" to many a batter when he gets未来再打。 for Rojo, he is already in mid-season form, having played in Cuba feeling "right," poppy receiver was himself to catch both games, which he did as only Rojo can, were not stouches by any means, and played high-grade balls, with the exception of at short, whose fumbles added to the seventh, when he was yanked in the seventh, when he was quigley" was the receiver. FOUR INNINGS FOR WHEELER Wheeler pitched the first four innings of the night, cap, and then Richardson was given a chance, to be worked nicely, Jones and Davis worked on the ground for Irvington with Quigley in receiving. Next Sunday, the Sox will open their Eastern League season with a twin-bill with the Cuban Stars, of Camden, N. J., and one game on Monday. Wednesday and Thursday of this week, the Sox will play the American Chain Company in York. Pa. While the team is away, the End touches are being put in the park.

DE HART HUBBARDY HUBBARD EXPECTED TO BREAK THE JUMP RECORD Believed He Will Beat National Record He Made Last Year in Penn Relays Saturday (Staff Correspondence) Philadelphia, April. 26. — The event of the national sport turned to this city centered on the Penn Relays games which will be staged at University of Pennsylvania Friday and Saturday. Although interest among colored folk interested in sports would burst the fact that athletes from Howard, Lincoln, Willierforce, and several other colored schools are to participate, it has received special stimulation as the result of the announcement that Delart Richard who is a student at the University of Michigan is to compete. World's Records May Be Smashed (By Afro Sports Editor) Philadelphia, April. 26. — I am here in Philadelphia for one thing mainly to see De Hart Hubbard. America's champion broad jumper make a world's record. That record now stands officially at 25 ft. 2 inches, and is held by Ned Groombridge of Harvard. Whether Hubbard makes a new record or not the broad Brought out by Earl Johnson Hubbard is the lad whose performances in high school events so impress him to join Johnson that he begged him to join him. U.S. C. national track and field championship tournament, last year, Earl's confidence in him being so strong that he paid the expenses for a try-out, out of his own pocket. Hubbard justified Johnson's confidence in him by winning three first places in these events, namely, the senior and junior runners-up, the senior and junior steep and jump. In the senior jump he hung up *n* national A. A. C. record leaping 24 ft. 3½ in. Ned Gourdin who holds the world's broad jump record, being those he beat on this occasion. **Two Records in One Day** In winning the hop-step and jump, Hubbard also established a national record, and was said to be the first athlete who had won U.S. A. U. championships in one day. In four meets, Hubbard has scored a total of 38 points, being the Illinois Indoor Relays. Hubbard jumped 25 feet 415 inches but made a foul which disqualified the match. In a second try he failed to score. In the same day, he took second place in the high and low hurdles events. Against Cornell he beat Washington. Eastern collegiate hurdle in 15-yard high, winning by two yards. In the Western Conference Championships, he won the 50-49 victory over the record, and won third place in the high hurdles. At the Chicago Dual Meet, he beat the man in the high and low hurdles who had three events in the Conference Meet. Starts Out a Champ From the above record it can be seen why expectation runs high in what Hubbard expected to do in 1985, Belgium, if he is in good condition. It is a record that many an athlete would be proud to retire on, yet it was made by a boy who is only in his 20s. It is made in the "sport light" less than two years, which means that he is just in the morning of his athletic career and is naturally expected to be more sensational work in the future. Two Men Here Michigan has two, men here, James Brooker, white pole vault champion of the West and Hubbard. Besides entering the jumps, he compete in the high hurdles and in the jump. The rest of the Michigan track team has been sent to the Drake Riley games at Des Moines. Michigan, DeHart belongs to the Omega-Psi Phi Fraternity, and his fraternity, brothers, here have showed him, special honors. THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1923. DEHART HUBBARD (By Courtesy of The Detroit Times) ED TO EAK THE JUMP RECORD eat National Record He Penn Relays Saturday World's Records May Be Smashed (BY Airo Sports Editor) Philadelphia, April 26—One of Philadelphia's one thing unites us, see Doe Hart Uhbullard. America's champion broad jumper make a world record. That record now stands officially at 25 ft. 10 in. by Ned Gourdin of Harvard. Whether Uhbullard makes a new record or not the broad jump championship will be held by a black man for some years. It will be the first time an appeared on the scene, no human being was ever known to jump 25 feet before. Pat O'Connor, white, set the mark at 24 feet 1 inches 22 years ago. He came near it, until Gourdin shot it to pieces. Now we have Uhbullard, another boy who will show the jump. Uhbullard jumped 25 feet in Illinois indoor relay games, this jump was not allowed on account of a foul. Watch Uhbullard, is the slogan here, and that is what I am looking for readers of the Afro.

A man can get along with one person when he has good gish. If he has good gish, Fitzsimmon's, lost, to Jeffries because he broke his hands on Jeffries' hard head. Harry Wills broke his arm in a fight with Battling Wills in the fourth round of their bout in 1917, but it is as good as new now. By the way, Sam Langford only eyes him when he knocked Wills out in the fourth round of their fight in 1917. The same year Wills fought Langford a no-decision bout and in 1918, Harry Knocked Sam out twice. Twenty-five years ago Bill Lewis, centre of the football team was the best known athlete at Harvard.

A West Indian Cricket team from Barbados, Jamaica, Demarara and Trinidad is on route to England, where it will meet a picked team of whites.

Close on the reported signing of Catcher Mackey, formerly of the Tampa Bay Orioles, American Giants' premier home-run hitter is signed by a club in the Eastern League. So the baseball war goes merrily on. Dempsey is not matched to accept anyone, Kearns says, but he is trying to find an opponent from anyone, including Wimbledon, Piron, or some other hitter. --- "Quit cher kiddin'" Kearnsie Dodging Wills is the thing you are doing nothing else but. Where are the annual outdoor meets for Baltimore City and County to be run this year is the question that is agitating he minds of some of the athletic directors. The stadium is too big, Carrol and Patterson Parks are too far away, Hill Park has no running truck and another meet on the grass is unthinkable. What is the matter with the school people instead of up the proper petition, and sending it in to the Mayor and Park Board? Such a track was promised for this year, but the death of Superintendent Jones has caused the matter to regress. Without the Drud Hill Park Park Carrol Park seems the next best bet. Charley Smith has written me again about, that horse-shoe pitching contest. Well Charley, is he handsome, is the best.

EVERY MAN WHO HAS FORCE OF YOUTH M Scientists Make Wonderful D Under 100 Years Sho A new discovery is said to have been made by a scientific study of Serbian mountain people who scientists say, live longer than any other people. It is said this discovery would help them live longer in people in all parts of the world and quickly restore manly strength, youthful vigor, grace and beauty lost by neglect or abuse. Scientists agree that women live in the internal glands and if these glands are stimulated and kept in normal activity, man might live forever and ailments such as tired, worn-out feeling, weakness, nervous weight, poor memory, weight, poor memory, premature senility, scrawny neck, restlessness at night, pains, headache, melancholy, despondency, etc., should disappear.

Watson, former coach of Va. X. N. L. and graduate of the College. Since his occupancy of the directors chair the department has been completely revolutionized.

SCHOOLS HOLD FIELD DAY Stanton H. S. Stages A Runaway Capturing Nearly All the Events for a `Total of 108 Points` Annapolis, Md. April 21.—by capturing eleven first, six second, four third and two fourth places, the school held a truck field and meet of the schools of Anne Arundel county here today. Twenty-nine schools were represented which was held on the campus of the Annapolis High School, "white" and about 700 pupils took part. The day was ideal thus there was from surrounding vicinities on hand to lend encouragement to their respective charges. One of the most interesting spectators was County Superintendent of Schools who remained throughout the day. Johnson Worked Hard The meet was said to be one of the most successful ever held in this county and the Public Athletic League officials said that the meet was among the most successful that have been held in any counties this year. This was due largely to the work of County Supervisor C. A. Johnson and the staff of the Stanton High School. The meet comprised besides the track and field events, badge test competition and dodge ball contests. Some of the teams that day was the dodge ball contests between the girls. Many teams were entered but the girls of Stanton High school finally emerged the victor. Precrow was second and Marley Neck were Eastport Win M Dodge Ball In the boys' dudge ball contest, Eastport won. Bristol was second and Hope Chapel and Jothian were runners up. Stanton High School won the 70 yard dash, 100 lb. class, and yards within 1-5 of sec of the record. In the budge contests, 180 boys won bronze, 21 silver and two gold Rudolph Green and Richard Owens, both pupils, were the boys who won the two gold badges. They are the first to win these badges of any boys in this year's meet, said Mr. Pittman, who is in charge of the county meets.

Says Tate, "Instead of shrimping himself hoarse, I have to shrimp him." Willy Wills should settle all scores with me. With all this, he should say, "Why do you need to eliminate me?" Depusser's Hand Sign Critics who looked deeper into the subject, declare that Dempsey's hand is to be seen in it. Not that Tate is not the tallest in the team, weighted by the second height of all of them but they point out that Tate is a sparing partner to Dempsey, that Jack is making use of Tate to dodge Wills. That Tate is not bad a fight since September 20, 1922, and Dempsey who has not fought for over 14 months, has been forbidden by the N. Y. Boxing Commission to fight Fulton Gibbons, and Foyt Johnson, none of whom would give him a decent fight. Every sport admits that Wills is Dempsey's logical opponent for Dempsey and Kernus his manager, have evaded the issue. Tate Fought Wills Five Times. Tate and Wills have never been in a fight. Last time they have earned a draw. Wills knocked him out twice, and lost one of them to him on a foul. Here is the record: 1. Tate versus Tate—no decision, 16 rounds. 1921—Wills K. O'd Tate=2 rul 1921—Wills K. O'd Tate=1 round 1922—Wills lost Tate=1 rd. foul 1922—Wills Draw Tate=16 rounds 1922—Wills Tate and Foul Tate had even a single victory to his credit, sports point out. LONNIE CLAYTON GREAT JOCKEY **Following** Bass horse funs talking of great jockeys recently declared that Lonnie Clayton, who jockeyed in the Kentucky Derby of 1882 was entitled to be classed among the greatest of Negro jockeys of those days. Clayton was a rider of finish and success in both the East and West bends in big demand for those events. "Pike" Barned who another was in the top ranks of the Negro riders. "Pike" rode Proctor Knox when he won the Junior of 1883, and the honor of riding a Kentucky Derby winner but he was only beaten a head by Stokane, who hit rode Proctor Kott in the memorable Derby of 1885. "Soup" Perkins, brother of Jim Perkins, one of Negro jockeys and turfman of the present era, was mentioned during the discussion. It was recalled that Perkins had a Derby to his credit. He had the mount on the black coat Halma, when he won in Simm's Good Record Willie Simm's was another which was considered in his day the one of any rider in America, was Simm's who brought Down by Eder for the 1896. That was the year that the distance for the Derby was changed from a mile and a half to a mile and a quarter, as it stands today. The Derby close to the pennants were opened to the day that Eder Eder was the winner, but it was only the old deceptive angle again. When the list of Negro jockeys that had won the Kentucky Derby was thought to be the old holder-immer opened up with the remark: "You fellows have overlooked on, if it not mistaken, and that Negro was about as good as ever pulled a run on thoroughbred. This Lewis Derby on Monroe in 1887 for the Laboil brothers. Before the conversations were finished the feat of Jimmy Lee was recalled. This Negro won the entire card of races at Churchill Downs one fine July 1816. The riding feats of other Negro jockeys also were recalled, included, Fellis Carr, "Tiny" Williams, Jerry Chorn, Link Jones, Bob Isom, Tommy Kernick, Pete Clay, Pete Clay, Roggett and others. there would be some meaning to his challenge. Even the one fight that Tate won on a foul, this was one of the many many fans hooted the decision and most of them were certain that it was only another effort to disguish Wills and keep from challenging Dempsey. Now fans will listen to Tate. "We want Dempsey" is the cry now. 3500 AT PRINCE GEORGE'S CO. MEET Ry Wade Carter Upper Marlboro, April 26—The Prince Georges County section of the State Athletic League held its 1923 Spring Meet Friday, the 15th anniversary of the County Fair Association. The entries in the field events from the county colored schools numbered fully 300 boys, and girls somewhat in excess of this number. Friends, parents and over 5,500.

AND LINCOLN IN BASEBALL SERIES Varsity Nines Will Stage First of Three-game Series on Lincoln Campus on April 28 By "Clink" Ropolds Lincoln Univ. Pa., April 13—The Howard "Bison" will invade the "Lion's" camp at Lincoln University on April 28th. The Long, promise to give for low-wage prizes to give the Pennsylvania lads a hot time. His quick delivery together with a wonderful variety of balls have spelt doom to many battles. Coach Watson, successor to Dr. Morrison, is evincing some satisfied players, showing his proteges against the schools in Dixie. This "tip" and the fact that many of Howard's old players are back and in mid-season form convince one that Lincoln will be put to the oush of our annual boys. But the Lincoln "Lions" are ready for them. Coach Law are had them in training in camps in Virginia and in other states, many work-outs while at the same time they defeated several strong teams and shook the citadels of many others.

BLADDER TROUBLES IN CHILDREN One of the commonest aliments among children is bedwetting. In sufficient control, out of the child's causes is the cause. Sometimes weakened kidneys place an undue burden on the bladder and the child is the uncontrollable cause of control. To punish a child under such circumstances is little less than criminal. The CCM BLE is the spine initially detected by the skillful Chiropractor. Chiropractic spinal adjustments are bringing health persons to the head, breast, lungs, heart, stomach, liver, kidneys, spleen, bowels and other organs of the body.

No "Ku Klux" Mayor Sometime ago, the AFRO-AMERICAN declared it would not support Mayor Broening for re-election. It does not now. Many things the Mayor has done for the black group, but he failed in the pinches. We cannot forget the march of the Ku Klux Klan thru Baltimore streets, when Mayor Broening could have refused to sign the permitting order. The AFRO-AMERICAN believes that Mr. Howard W. Jackson is the best of the three candidates. It believes with Harding that the Negro should divide his vote. It urges the support and the election of Mr. Jackson for Mayor. The Baltimore Alliance Campaign. The Baltimore Alliance began a campaign last Friday to raise its 1923 Budget. A number of colored men and women will receive appeals for contributions. Although some of the members of the Alliance are woefully un-American in the distribution of their benefits, particularly the Boy Scouts Council, some of them are on the other hand a vital factor in the relief and constructive welfare work among colored people and should receive unstinted support. The Family Welfare Department, The Baby Milk Fund, The Henry Watson Children's Aid, and the Public Athletic League, are members that administer liberally to the needs of colored people as well as white. The Prisoners' Aid Society operates along high lines for the rehabilitation of broken down civil life and is well administered. In the expenditure of its allotment of the budget the Public Athletic League expends one-sixth of its income on the colored end of its work. This is an effort to make an equitable distribution based on population. Although the Alliance is making no specific campaign among colored people, and we believe it should, every colored man and woman should do his or her bit in putting the campaign over. Selective Emigration and the Negro. Negroes throughout the country will be greatly interested in the campaign opened by capital through Judge Gary, president of the great steel industries, last week to break the backbone of the rising cost of labor forcing the Government to let down the emigration. G. Simons and flood the country with cheap labor. While there is yet no real labor shortage the situation makes it necessary for employers to compete for labor and this competition raises the wages. Even the steel factories have been forced to raise wages during the last few weeks. To the Negro laborer this means not only a wider field of employment and emancipation from certain inhuman conditions in the South, but it means more wages even in the North. More wages mean better living, more power and a larger participation in the affairs of the nation. If left to Judge Gary and his cohorts the American labor market would be kept saturated in order that this continual surplus would allow them to dictate low wage conditions. They care little about the crime, misery, and degradation large unemployment creates, so long as it makes it possible for them to squeeze blood money in the form of inflated dividends. Negro leaders should lend whatever weight of influence they have against this proposal. Is Henry Ford a Candidate? The fact that petitions for the nomination of Henry Ford for President were filed in eight States in the West recently centers the attention of the country upon what his attitude really is regarding the nomination. The filing of the petitions looks as if he is in the field in earnest but as yet he has made no personal announcement, nor has any one else announced with authority that Mr. Ford seeks to be a candidate for the highest office in the land. The fact that his position is unknown creates an element of uncertainty in the situation that is causing much worry to politicians who have been accustomed to arranging things beforehand. If Mr. Ford were outspoken in his ambition to be nominated at the next national convention there would not be so much anxiety in some quarters. It is the quiet underground propaganda, evidently spreading silently all over the country among the people who are not politicians and not partisans, that alarms the leaders. It is impossible to measure the strength of the Ford candidacy by any rules known in politics. It is elusive and meanwhile Henry Ford says not a word. He does not even have any known organization, unless the men who sell and use his cars might be said to be an organization. The fact that these eight petitions have been filed shows, however, that work is being done in his behalf. It has been said that the wet and dry issue will cause more trouble in the nomination of a candidate next year than any other question. But Henry Ford's candidacy, if he is a candidate, will raise other questions which some people regard as infinitely more important and which others will view with undisguised alarm. He is the THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1923 WATCH YOUR SOCKS BULLETIN, PRESTON EXPECTS ONLY HIGH CLASS COLORED PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR HIM.

Gets Poor Meals and Has To Sleep By Himself on Account of Politics The Reporter met Old Timer coming out of the Doulglass Theater the other didt after the Ex-pertman performer ```markdown ``` "What's weighting down your mind?" asked the Reporter. "I was just thinkin' in" said O. T, that nobody could pay me to be a candy-date for Mayor. Here was Brooking up to the performance tonite the fast and only time he is seen a show inside of our theatre. What done it, he was looking for votes. I don't know how many he got. He made a speech what must to have won over some folks, but he saw a doge good show in the bargain. "There is Preston. Have you ever heard of him visiting any colored folks' weddings or funerals or anything else before. 'Cose you you isn't, an neither is I. Howseomever, he was up to do the funeral of my good Dr. Diggs. He was up to visit and pay his 'shees to one of his best friends. I don't denyin' it, but it is durn funny, he nig't neither heaped to bury any of his colored friends' before, and that dtime is in de middle of his campaign fer votes." "Don take Howard Jackson, Campaignin' has made him so sick, that he has had to go home 'n' git in bed with a mustard plaster on his tumn and Vick's Sake on his chest. Did he get any piece and quietude? Not a durn bit of it. Delegations of colored folks, as been out to see them, afterwards. We Gooch-a-mighty, a man might 'n' as well enter a dancin' mara then and he done with it, as to try and get any time off after he starts runnin' for mayor." "Who are you going to vote for? asked the Reporter with a smile. "Don't smile when you ask me that question," answered O. T. gruffy. "Taint nothin' funny about it to me. I, myself, pussonally, is gwine to vote for Jackson. Me and my old woman had it out just night. She is one of my nieces. She is one of my nieces. A new hat if she would vote for my man. So for she is held out. "Howsemeever, it ain't funny. For fifty years, I is voted the 'Public ticket straight, cuttin' nobody, 'cept when Ashby Hawkwuns. Dis Is time to cut the Ticket's head off. This occasion is just as se-cious to me as goin to prayers, and wife is split it, and I ain't had a peaceable meal since." "Durn politics anyhow," said O. T. as he walked off "Since me and my wife fell out 'bout this candidate for Mayor business, arrogant, selfish, and had nothin' else but. Besides my coffee is cold mornin', my dinner tastes bad in the evenin' and I has to sleep in the spare room by myself at night." realized how serious the matter was with the old follow and refrained from following him down Pennsylvania Ave. MISTAKE A reticent chap bought a hand-me-down set of false teeth. The moment he put them in his mouth he became talkative. This nonplussed chap was thinking something was wrong he went back to the shop where he bought the false teeth. The storekeeper looked them over and remarked: 'I've made a mistake. I knew you a set of women's teeth.' Fifteen Years Ago Items From The Afro-American Or April 26, 1908 Waters Installs The following officers were installed for the ensuing year at Waters A. M. E. Church last week, J. F. Waters, superintendent; M. Moore, asst. sup. Mrs. L. Boone; Thomas, Cus. Carey, see.; Miss Mantle Wesley, asst. see.; J. E. Fisher, musical director. One of the most brilliant social affairs held in recent years, was the post-lenten reception given by the Baltimore Assembly at Nazarite Hall Friday night. The Assembly was organized a year ago by prominent business and professional men. The hall was decorated with potted palms and spring flowers. Out-of-town guests included Miss K. Crummel, Mrs. J. R. Frances, Miss Lucy Penn, J. C. Wilson, Mrs. Kate Butler, of Annapolis, Miss Pope, of Atlanta, Ca., and Messrs. G. David Houston and Archibald Grimke, of Boston. DuBois Circle The Dubois Circle hold an informal meeting Thursday evening at the home of Mrs. A. T. Walker, 1402 Drudh Hill Avenue, for the purpose of honoring one of its members, Mrs. J. T. Jennifer, who leaves the city soon to take up her residence in Annapolis. Mrs. J. T. Hawkins rendered solos and Miss Cecile Coombes recited.

May Muffin, the amiture snuff duper o' indiesville, miscalculated the geography of mouth and dashed a wad o' snuff right in her eyes, today. Gee, but she said it hurt. TEACHING THE OUTSIDE Sometimes ago a teacher in one of the Chicago public schools gave up his job and started a beauty parlor. He explained the privations of a professional income passed to influence. He explained his success in a phrase: "Nobody cares what is inside of a girl's head; it is the outside that matters." Pittsburgh Workers Are Making $130 to $150 a Mouth To the Editor: I have been reading your paper I guess ever since it started. I am still one of your readers. I am a Baltimore boy, born and raised in the city of Baltimore having parents living at 1348 N. Carey street. Your paper you have an ad concerning the Westinghouse of East Pittsburg, Pa. I am there working and have been there for six months you can tell the boys of Baltimore that things are good here and the boarding house is run in a very fine way. The managers are offered. They are boys from home. The wages are good. I am making from $65 to $70 every two weeks. Then I don't work every day. I would like to see a lot of our boys come here and make good the same as Officer Pinckney has done. He is a hero to the city of Baltimore and also to our race. How the British Government Sorks the East Indians. To the Editor: The Director-General of Post Offices for the whole of India reported a deficit of Rupees 5,771,869. Rupees fifteen make one pound sterling. There are 106,872 officials with 19,557 Post- offices. India is as large as Europe minus Russia. Only 13 women out of a thousand, and about 130 men out of the same number are literate. This tamenable defect is the direct result of the extravagant salaries paid to the British officials working in India. The best method to retrench is to do down the salary of the Director-General the Presidency, Post-master, the Postmaster-General, the Inspector-General, and the other big wigs of the Department, and make them travel in second-class railway compartments, instead of in the first class. The Europeans think that India is the vantage ground, when the dollar trees grow in galore. The European officials who serve in Indian civil service and in the military are the happiest individuals in the world. When they re-enter the world, they Dives mentioned in the Bible. The people of India whose revenue goes to feed the European bureaucracy are becoming poorer and poorer day by day. AN EAST INDIAN READER Rev. Sparks Disagrees with Pickens on the Jonah and Whale Story "Now the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights." Mr. Pickens seems to think that the truth of the story depends upon what he believes in a living God must logically believe in miracles, for God is the Miracle of Miracles. In Matt. 11:40 a greater one than Mr. Pickens says: "For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." Mr. Pickens says: it was not true: Jesus Christ says it was true. Who is right? Mr. Pickens had no way of knowing it was a whale if Christ had not told him; for the passage says, "The Lord prepared a great fish." REV. EDWARD SPARKS, S.T.B.

The North Carolina Mutual Insurance Company has $38,000,000 of insurance in force. Several other of our large companies reckon their volume of business in numbers of eight figures. These enterprises are under strict governmental supervision, and conduct their affairs according to the approved cannons of business procedure. The day of Negro big business is at hand. Indeed the volume of business transacted by race concerns would be respectable even when measured by the standards of the white world. We do not have to turn back many generations to reach the time when an enterprise contemplating thirty millions of dollars was considered of the first magnitude. Those gigantic projects which now reckon their outstanding assets and liabilities in terms of billions have made their most rapid advance during the last fifty years. Negro enterprises on a broad national scale take their origin from the True Reformers of Richmond, Na., originated by Rev. W. W. Brown. This was, if my memory serves me right, in 1881. At that time a Negro stenographer was a curiosity, and a colored typist something strange. In some curious way, whose history would make interesting reading, Mr. Brown built up a staff of colored clerks and bookkeepers and accountants. This ill-starred organization failed lamentably, but not until it had insured numerous like enterprises which are thriving with good promise today. Luckily for the good name of the founder, he had withdrawn from the movement, through disagreement with his co-workers, as well as on account of failing health. The organization gave him $50,000 for the plan of his own origination. This is doubtless the largest award ever made to a Negro for an idea. When shall have been removed a little further from the disagreeable incidents and unpleasant personal memories, the Negro business enterprises will unite to build a monument to the Founder of the True Reformers.

I enjoyed the good fortune to be an invited guest at the session and banquet of the Financial Board of the A. M. E. Church which met in Washington-City last Wednesday. It was interesting to see with what system and skill this religious organization conducts its business. Items involving the receipt and expenditure of half million dollars were handled with as much melodiousness as would prevail in any well-regulated business institution. The only difference discernible between their procedure and that of a board of directors of a bank or a trust company was that they opened with prayer and closed with the benediction. Professor John H. Hawkins is the financial genius of the church. He is cool, cautious, calculating, accurate, systematic and painstaking. There is no need of dispair. There is sufficient financial capacity and business ability in the race to meet the urgent demands. It but needs to be energized, motivated and released.

The subjects listed they are by no means local or be interested to learn that colored and white men and mainly of white people. In its proper light before Word comes that President Harding has overruled the army decision to man the Tuskegee Hospital with white staff. We are assured that the entire management from top to bottom is to be supplied from the race to be served. The one conspicuous example that Booker Washington taught the white man as well as the Negro was that the Negro himself was able out of his own intellectual resources to supply the whole circle of his racial needs. I was a visitor at one of our great state colleges and observed that the faculty was all colored as well as the staff of skilled and manual laborers. But the engineer in charge of the machinery was a white man. On inquiry into this anomaly, I was informed that the regents were not willing to entrust such complicated machinery to the colored race. I went from this school immediately to Tuskegee, and saw immensely greater engineering operated by men of the race. Mr. Washington informed me that he could always find colored men to do the work which his school needed. This indeed was a vital part of his philosophy, to make the Negro sufficient for his own service. It would be a strange reversal of Dr. Washington's principles to have this great hospital placed at Tuskegee as a compliment to his name with white doctors and nurses were to be installed over Negro patients. What would the great educator think could be return and look down on such a spectacle? The medical fraternity can easily meet our demand. We have in the race several men with the talent, learning and experience to serve as surgeon-in-chief. All other places can be easily supplied. The race stands solidly behind the demand that the opportunities of the race should not be snatched from them by white men who ought to find their field among their own people. It is said that the credit for this victory is due to the energetic interposition of Hon. Lincoln Johnson and Hon. Perry Howard. If this be true, all honor to them. There is a shortage in the labor market. Immigration has been restricted beyond the needs of American industry. The capitalists are demanding that the bars be let down to secure enough men to man their mills and factories to meet the demands of the market. But the laboring people themselves do not wish their chances of increased wages to be jeopardized by fresh inflow from abroad. It is not at all likely that Congress will liberalize existing laws especially in view of the rising tide of progressives who are swearing vengeance and slaughter against the conservative regime. There are ten million Negroes in the United States who in the main belong to the laboring class. Every shortage in the labor market inures to their advantage. Every European white immigrant shut out from our shores makes place for some Negro workman. There is a renewed stream of migration to the North to take advantage of the higher wage inducement in the mills and factories. The South is crying blue murder at loss of its cheap labor. The center of gravity of the race problem will be shifted. The Negro will unquestionably be the immediate beneficiary, but he should study carefully the bearing of it all upon the further reaches of the future. Philadelphia Conference on Social Work There was held in Philadelphia last week an all-city conference on various phases of charitable and social work. A program covering the widest range of topics was presented by experts in the several fields on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The session on Saturday was given over to the topic of interracial relations. "The Woman's Nation-wide Anti-Lynching Crusade by Mrs. Mary B. Talbort. The Proper Inter-Racial Teaching of Children by Mrs. Erma Grassmuck, State Director of Geography. "Plans to Meet the Incoming Tide of Migrants from the South" by George E. Haynes. "Working Program for Inter Racial Development" by Kelly Miller. "Inter Racial Education" by Dr. Thomas E. Finegan, State Superintendent of Public Instruction. As this section of the program has not been pulled off at the time this sheet is being written. I can only prophesy that the discussion ought to be interesting and valuable. The subjects listed are race-wide in their significance. They are by no means local or limited to the city of Philadelphia.
