Thousands of City's School "Kiddies" Able to Get Only Half-Time Education BANK TO PAY 21c ON Some Members Surprised to Learn That There Are 4,000 Colored Children Poorly Attended White Schools in Colored Sections Also To Be Investigated Some of the members of the School board were surprised to learn that about one-third of the colored children in city public schools are forced to attend halftime classes. Several of the members frankly told a reporter of the AFRO-AMERICAN they left such things to Superintendent West. Over-crowded conditions in the colored schools where 4,000 children are unable to find room will be probed by the School Board at its session Friday. Schools most overcrowded are schools 100, Saratoga and Mount, M. Edythe Cooper principal: 104 Caroline, and Jefferson, William Anderson, principal: 104, Carey and School, Daniel Credit, principal: 110, Wausche street, Win, MacAhee, principal: and 112, Laurens and Calhoun George B. Murphy, principal. Each of these buildings has an overflow of between 600 and 725 pupils in half-time classes. Empty Benches in White Schools The Board will also investigate the report that three white schools in colored neighborhoods 15, 21 and 39, have less than 356 pupils each attending. Supt. Henry West says: "I am getting a report together on this matter now and I think it will be presented to the school board at the next meeting. President Field Talks Issa S. Field, president of the Board MANUFACTURERS RECORD, Commerce, and Waters street said: "All I can say is this. Despite the fact that I am overwhelmed with work at my office, I have just spent two hours of valuable time out looking over some school sites. We are going to do all that is humanly possible to relieve the crowded conditions of the schools and do not intend to discriminate against any one. Warren S. Sepp Title Building said: I did not know a thing about the number of children in the schools. I never try to keep these figures in my head. We leave those things to the superintendent. Concerning project number 10 we have not found a suitable location for a school. You may think that we do not want to build a colored elementary school, but this is not correct. It is not the easiest matter in the world to go out to buy a city lot. We are doing all that is in our power to eliminate the crowded conditions to all the schools. Did Not Know Schools Were Overcrowded Theodore E. Strus, 12 E. Mt. Royal Ave., said he was ignorant of the overcrowded condition of the colored schools and would take this question up at the Friday meeting of the Board. Discussing the three white schools each of which has less than 350 pupils, Mr. Strus said nothing can be done about school 15 as it is also used as a bureau of records and research. Last year a delegation waited on the School Board asking us to open school 29. (Carrollton and Riggs avenues). We open it as a white school. We will look the matter up and if there are less than 80 pupils then this condition continues, we will make a change." Mrs. J. W. Putts, Mt. Royal Apis, said: We are more worried about these conditions than you are, and we are working hard trying to adjust the crowded conditions not only for colored children, but for the school children as a whole. We are also working on the matter of a new elementary school for colored children. No Correct Report Addison F. Mulliken 363 Calvert Bldg., said: I know nothing concerning the number of pupils in these schools, as so far we have had no correct report on it, but I do known that the board is working hard to bring the matter of a new elementary school to a head. Of course we are doing everything possible to relieve the crowded conditions in all schools. Mr. John Edel says, "We are going to take care of the situation as soon as possible." Dr. Frank J. Goodnow says, "I think the condition is deplorable, but the School Board is doing the best it can, and hopes to do something about the matter." Mr. Frederick Singley says, "I know of the conditions and we are doing all we can to remedy the situation, but we are having a hard time finding a location for new colored school." THE AFRO AMERICAN Porter Hero in Rail Road Wreck 32nd YEAR NUMBER 4 Entered in the Postoffice at Baltimore, Matter under Act of March 3. BAI Porter PULLMAN PORTER SAVED ALL HIS PASSENGERS Smashed Window and Wad ed Thru Icy Water to Land When His Train Fell 30 Ft. Off Bridge BELL ROPE WAS LIFE LINE Porter Threw It Back To Haul Men and Women Up Bank of Swollen River To Safety Chicago, Ill., Oct. 3.—(By Telegraph)—Who was the unknown Pullman porter, whose heroism saved a score of lives in the terrible train wreck, which took scores of lives at Casper, Wyoming, Saturday. The Pullman Company's main office here does not know, it told the AFRO-AMERICAN today, and untest the heroic fellow comes up and tools his own horn, the same will not be tooted for him. Representatives of the company declared that the only colored victim of the wreck so far as they knew was another Pullman porter, Hortense Watkins, 28, of Denver, Colorado. He was probably drowned. They added, "We have no report yet of the porter who rescued his passengers from a water grave." The wreck occurred when a Chicago, Purlington and Quincy train number 20 left the tracks and plunged into the Big Muddy river at Locknett, a small station 18 miles east of Casper, Wyoming, around 9 o'clock Saturday evening. First survivors told newspaper men they owed their lives to a Pullman porter. A cloudburst caused the river to rise 20 feet and undermine the bridge. Engine, tender and baggage car crossed the bridge safely. the express and five Pullman cars fell into the stream, dragging the engine and tender back into the Muddy waters. Watkins was porter on the last Pullman, which was the first to strike the water. Other cars piled onto this, causing a frightful loss of life. In the second car from the bottom was the unknown porter. When the front end of the car shot up and the rear end down into the water there was endless confusion. No one knew what had happened. Water began to enter the lower part of the car and passengers climbed toward the top for safety. The porter was among the first to reach a window above water and smashed his way to freedom thru the window. Taking with him the holl cord he made his way to land over wreckage and floods to the river bank. This he threw back to imprisoned passengers who were able to make their way to land safely one at a time. Wins $1,400 Auto Havre De Grace, Oct. 3—Oscar Jones, struck luck last week when with four 25 cents chances he walked away with a new $1400 Willys Knight Automobile and four blankets railed at the Firemen's Carnival of the Susquehanna Hose Company. Jones was offered $1200 cash for the car and sold the dozen blankets for $4 each. There were more than 11,000 chances taken on the car, some white entrants buying as many as $200 worth. Jones won with four chances, two of which were lucky. PASTOR GETS WAR MEDAL Houston, Texas, Oct. 4—Rev. W. P.

MARTIAL LAW IN N.C. TOWN TENOR'S MOTHER WOULD HAVE HIM WED Roland Hayes Says Lord Intended Him To Remain Single and Do His Work Famous Tenor Wipes Dishes Around Home and Drinks From Jelly Glasses For the first time a colored singer is to appear as soloist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Roland Hayes, a Boston boy, has won his way to honor by this distinguished organization which extends engagements only. those artists who have "arrived." And his mother was a slave. Today she tells the story of her son's rise to fame, in which she makes light of her struggle against adversity that Roland might bring honor to the race. This interview will probably be regarded as the last word from his mother to him. She died at her home 11 Arnold street. Wednesday of last week. Her funeral took place from Ehenezer Baptist Church on Sunday. Boston, Mass. Oct. 3 — They say that every man's life has material for at least one good book. There is certainly a drama in the career of the colored tenor singer, Roland Hayes. A. He returns in a few days to this city from his third and most successful European tour to new honors. Roland Hayes, Boston. He has sung, Tenor, who sang he not only Negro fare Royalty. (C.) folk-songs, but classics of Schumann, Brahms, Wolf and other masters, before immense and distinguished audiences in many countries, including an appearance by royal command before the English King and Queen. His first appearance here will be as soloist of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, a distinction never before achieved by a colored musician. When Hayes reaches Boston he will hurry to the home of his mother, Fannie Hayes, who, much against the wishes of the son, takes in washing and ironing at her house on Arnold street, owes through her own labor a 10-acre lot in Georgia, fears only God, and remembers well the brutal beating given her by her master when she was a slave. Doesn't Want To Lost "I'm helping him," she said to her visitor, "that's what I'm doing right here. I don't want to loaf and I'm ready any day the Lord calls me. "If I went over there with him same's he wants me I should be idle and no happier than I am right here." The Mother's Message And when her son wrote her of the royal "command" to appear at Buckingham Palace, Fanny Hayes replied. "Remember where you are and where she is credit where it belongs."

RAGMAN GETS $3,230 PENSION Washington, Oct. 4.—Alfred Petts, a 75-year-old rag-picker, received a Treasury warrant thru the mails this week for $3,230. Accompanying the warrant was a note from the Pension Bureau stating that it represented back pension at the rate of $50 a month. Petts filed an application for a pension ten years ago but failed to follow it. The Government traced his claim and found that he benefited in the Second Colored Inventory at Key West, Fl., in 1864 at the age of 16. Fort.

Nutter DECISION NOVEMBER 1ST Trial Ends Suddenly When Witness Mysteriously "Goes to Florida" Atlantic City, N. J., Oct. 3—Attorney Isaac H. Nutter, brilliant members of the New Jersey Bar, race leader and in recent years, the storm center of politics in South Jersey, is on trial charged with conduct unbecoming a member of his profession. The charges were brought against the attorney, by Judge William Smathers, (white), a Democrat, appointed by Governor Silzer, when the Governor took his seat last January. Three members of the New Jersey Bar Supreme Court are hearing the Association, appointed by the State testimony, after which it will be submitted to the Supreme Court for a decision. Nutter's status as an attorney-at-law is at stake; not only this but his reputation, character and up to the present time, brilliant career lies in the balance. Upon the outcome of the trial, will depend whether or not he will remain leader of the colored Republican cohorts. The charge originated out of transactions involving client and lawyer, in which Attorney Nutter, as counsel for alleged confidence men, Albert Blair and Robert Helmholtz, managed to obtain bail reduction from $10,000 to $2,000. The two men were charged with having lined M. Wingard, (white) to Nutter's home in Douglas Park near Pleasantville, and attempting to swindle him out of $40,000.00 in a fake race horse scheme. Nutter Also Bondman Nutter, also was their bondsman. He put up as security, deeds for twenty-five lots, in the restricted residential section of Atlantic City, known as Ventnor. On the day that Helmholtz and Blair were to be tried they failed to appear. Judge Smathers, directed members of his staff to notify the attorney that their bail had been forfeited, and to produce the cash for the amount due. This was done, but not until Nutter had exhausted every possible means to bring his clients before the court. Not satisfied with Nutter's efforts to bring the case to trial, Judge Smathers brought charges of unethical conduct against Nutter.

Found Dead In Tree Brunswick, Md., Oct. 4—Jacob Mines was found dead tightly clutching the branches of an apple tree thirty feet above the ground last week. It was supposed that he was picking apples when the ladder slipped from under him, his head striking electric wires causing instant death. His hands were so securely closed around the branches of the tree that it was necessary to cut off the limb to get him loose. KILLS HERSELF WHILE LOVER LOOKS ON 'Suicide,' Says Lover; 'Accident,' Says Friend; 'Murder.' Says Mother VICTIM TESTED REVOLVER Fired First Bullet Into the Air and Second Into Her Dial Mrs. Francis Carroll, 762 Franklin street, who sent a bullet crushing through her temple in the presence of her youthful lover, commit suicide, or was it an accident? "Suicide," says lover, "Accident," says friend, "Murder," says mother. But the Composer's Jury at the Western Police station rendered a verdict of suicide at a hearing Wednesday night. After carefully dressing herself about 9 o'clock Saturday night, Mrs. Carroll, who, since the separation from her husband had been living at 761 W. Franklin street, was being visited by her lover, James Anderson, 929 Pierce street, and a friend Miss Bessia Brooks, when, after calmly taking a pistol to the back door and firing it into the air, she returned to the room and sent a bullet into her own brain. In the room at the time were Anderson and the Brooks woman, but neither of them, according to their statements, were aware of what had happened until they heard the shot. At the hearing Anderson stated that he was keeping company with Mrs. Carroll and was visiting her when she took a revolver and laid it on the table. She took it up and went to the back door and fired it in the air. He stated that he told her she should not have done that, as it was against the law, and it was while he was talking to her that she raised the death dealing instrument to the temple and fired. Even then, he stated, he did not realize the seriousness of what had happened. Miss Bessle Brooks, friend of the dead woman, who was in the room fixing her hair at the time, but who was not called to the investigation, told a reporter for the Aero American that when the shot was fired she looked around and saw her friend lying on the floor and even then thought it a joke until an examination showed blood trickling from her head. ANDERSON FRANTIC At this time, she said. Anderson attempted to run from the room, but she stopped him and induced him to help her administer aid. As far as she knew there was no reason for Mrs. Carroll committing suicide. She could not understand why she was not called as a witness in the Coroner's investigation. Mrs. Carroll was twenty-six years of age and a Baltimore girl. When the officers arrived found the pistol lying a table in the rear. When seen by a reporter the mother of the girl stated that she believed her daughter had been murdered. Miss Brooks stated that she thought it was accident. James Anderson, she stated, had said that he had taken the cartridges out of the pistol. TROOPS PATROL SPRUCE PINE STREETS N. Carolina Town Where Mob Drove Out 200 Colored Workers Quiet Under Military Rule GOVERNOR MORRISON ACTS Also Sends "Sassy" Telegram to N.A.A.C.P., Which Urged Him to Protect Laborers. Spruce Pine, N. C., is a little mining town in the mountains 32 miles North of Marion, on the C. C. and O. H. R., having a population of 1,200. It is the county seat of Mitchell County and is known as the strongest Republican county in the South. Its motto is, "We want no Negroes or Democrats." Men there all wear overalls or khaki pants and leggings with a red bandanna around their necks. Women hob their hair and wear trousers with stockings rolled below their knees. High School boys wear overalls. (By Warren Brown) Spruce Pine, N. C., Oct. 4. With National Guardsmen sent by Governor Morrison patrolling the street and all five roads coming into town and searching all parties for firearms, Spruce Pine is quiet again after mob rule of several days. Trouble started last Wednesday when John Goss, a trusty in a gang of convicts working near here, escaped and attempted to assault a white woman. Unable to catch Goss, a mob of 175 armed whites swooped down upon every colored person in the county, headed them upon that cars and told to leave. NOT FIRST DEPORTATION This is not the first deportation from Mitchell County. Located in the heart of the Blue Ridge it boasts that soldiers have never camped there before since the Revolutionary War. Hundreds of Confederate soldiers who deserved during the Civil War lived there to settle and periodically ever since, mobs have sprung up to drive out Negroes who came in with contracting firms. Servants with white families never stayed long. It was made too unpleasant for them. The 200 colored people who were deported last week included not only miners and their wives and children working in the koala, fieldspar and moa mines, workers in construction camps, and prisoners in a State troop camp near the town. Griff Forbes, a Republican, watched the mob herding the men, women and children like cattle into box cars, using their guns and revolvers to make the unfortunate move faster, but he offered no protest.

Maryland 10 cents elsewhere N $1 WINGATE AND BROWN PAY $8,000 Pennsylvania Avenue Bank Failed Year Ago Owing. . Depositors Big Sum of $38,394 FIRST DIVIDEND 10 CENTS Receiver Wilson Preparing Checks for Final Dividend of 11 Cents T. Thomas Brown, who fled the city a year ago last Christmas, leaving the banking firm of Brown and Wingate in such straits that it was closed immediately, is still missing. Wingate, the other member of the firm, died before the crash came. A close scrutiny of the affairs of the bank showed that the failure was due to poor management and lax methods rather than to any misuse of funds. For this reason no effort has been made to locate Brown or secure a warrant for his arrest. The defunct banking firm of Brown & Wingate, which failed a year ago last Christmas, tying up the savings of hundreds of depositors and the Christmas Club checks of many others, will pay its creditors 21 cents on the dollar. Taylor and Jenkins, the other banking firm which failed at the same time recently paid 9 cents on the dollar. Receiver Harry O. Wilson, who set up the affairs of both banks, is preening checks of 11.7 cents on the dollar for Brown & Wingate creditors. This is the final dividend. Sometimes are creditors of that firm received their first dividend checks at 10 cents on the dollar. When the bank failed, it was found to have liabilities of $38,294, and only a few dollars of cash on hand. Sale of motion picture films and machines said to have cost the bank $15,000 and various pieces of real estate owned by the bank, including the banker's Gold street home, automobile, and his weekly newspaper plant brought around $8,500. This meant that the total loss to those who had deposited their small savings or entrusted to the bank their little money, with which they expected to buy Christmas presents, totaled at least $30,000. Many of the depositors were hard working people, who had saved for years to get a little ahead. For days after it closed, they stood around hoping it would reopen.

Presiding Elder Stephan, of the Baltimore District, A. M. E. Conference suggested an excellent remedy for this condition at the meeting of the A. M. E. Ministers on Monday. Once the time the minister was perhaps a farmer, or a blacksmith or worked at numerous other occupations, donning his clerical frock on the Sabath and going into the pulpit, preaching the gospel. But with the trend of passing wise, this type of minister has a more muscular and more interesting room for the more modern dignity of the present day clergy. On the outskirts of the city there are numerous little villages, where some servant of God is struggling with conditions, in order to keep the grace of his Master in the community, struggling against the gaping jaws of the proverbial wolf, by cunningly to his post with the flipping ardor of a seasoned soldier. Stephan suggested that students from nearby colleges, who were studying for the ministry be allowed to preside at these places, attending their studies during the week, and presiding over the charges on Sunday. This would enable the student to get experience while learning, and at the same time help to pay for his salaries. The ministers now in charge of these places would be found charges which would give them a living without leaving these small congregations without a leader. LIEUT. J.

Johnson Trouble, Won't Last Always "The sea no longer exists"—Rev. 21:1 (Weymouth's translation). "There was no more sea" (Authorized version). "There was a holy author of the last book in the Bible, from which we get our text, had been ruthlessly torn from his friends, his home, and his church in Ephesus and exiled on an island in the Aegean sea off the coast of Asia Minor. To say it well is a bitter experience but it was mildly exasperating. Not for any wrong that he had committed, but because his life was too consistently Christian did he have to suffer the treatment that was given the worst criminals of his day. John's life and the ideals of his religion were so of harmony with ancient laws and customs in Ephesus that his presence become objectionable to the extent that he was banished. ```markdown ``` The "dity" sometimes sing, "John on the island by himself" is not true. There were others on the island, but not people who could be companions for him. With no sympathetic friend with whom he could talk about his troubles, the exile, for a while at least, was all his enemies intended it should be. --- It was no far from Palmos to Ephesus. But for the sea, he could have walked to the scene of his dearest and best labors between sunset and sunrise. Therefore, the sea was the greatest barrier between him and that which he held most dear among the things of earth. Its continuous roar was a constant torment. God always comforts His people. He comforted John by revealing to him the fact that all forces working against God, he they men or demons, are bound to fail. He showed John that Roman rule he overthrew and that the time would come when no roaring sea would lie between him and the dearest things of earth. What God did for John was equal to saying, "trouble won't last always." Sometimes, our sea is sickness. One never knows what a boon health is until sickness overtakes him. Then he is willing to give away everything else to obtain good health. But even to those afflicted by sickness, God gives us more medicine than wont last always". Some of us are hopelessly ill. Yet we may be happy. . . . Lizzie Johnson spent her whole life in an invalid's chair. She suffered constantly, but nothing in her conduct indicated it. Though not able to walk, she used her fingers to the glory of God and the blessing of mankind in such a large way that even sickness did not prevent her joy. In adent in needle work and painting, she began making bookmarks. They sold readily and with the proceeds she invested in foreign missions. The knowledge that she was, while in her invalid's chair, helping to carry out the Master's command, "Go ye into all the world * and all the earth * and all the creatures * made her one of the happiest and sunniest woman on God's footstock. That was only an earnest of the unsuspendable joys that awaited her when a few years ago she left the house of clay and went where it is no longer necessary to "see thru a glass darkly but face to face," where "we shall know even as we know the world." The occasion for great happiness in heaven for Lizzie Johnson was to find out the extent of service she rendered by the use of her fingers in making bookmarks. --- The Walter Green Post No. 14 A.

M. E. Church occurred this week when Rev. J. R. Harvey, pastor of St. Mary's Church, one of the important charges of the city, walked out of the organization, carrying a large percentage of the congregation with him, and announced their intention to be in the dependent community church to be called Cosmopolitan Center. More than 300 former St. Mary members attended the first meeting Tuesday night and arranged to hold their Sunday services in the Farren School Auditorium. The defection of the people of St. Mary's is the last of a series of splits from the A. M. E. body which is attracting the attention of students of religious progress. It is pointed out that the morale of the largest and most potent church organization of color in America is suffering, so what if they continue. The more striking examples are the First Independent of Los Angeles. Dr. Gregg pastor, which deserted five years ago; then Metropolitan Community Center of Chicago, Dr. W. D. Cook pastor, a large and vigorous body whose separation from the local Church was caused of much local discussion and now St. Mary's. Progressive Congregation This congregation, housed in a beautiful new edifice has been considered one of the prize church organizations of the city. It had developed many innovations in religious life, buying a flat building, and supporting a church sick and accident insurance society. The pastor had attracted a strong personal following, and it is due to this fact observers say that he was able to lead so many stunners. Methodists away from the city gave as the reason for his leaving the connection "sin in high places, one man rule, failure to promote on merit, and internal politics." Opponents declare he was peeved over his failure to be elected delegate to the next Conference. AFRICAN METHODIST TRINITY A. M. E. CHURCH Linden arboree and Biddle street Dr. A. L.

As we said last week these two coworkers now to pick talent, and they have surrounded themselves with ten clever entertainers.

During this part a number of song numbers nicely sung by Ewing, a topical song by Byrd, several numbers well sung by Elise Fisher and some nifty acrobatic dancing by Rastus Brown, Jr., who stand with the topnotchers in this line, were the features that stood The second half was a dramatic sketch dealing with dope peddling in a Chinese restaurant. This sketch gave Talley further opportunity to demonstrate his talents as a naturally gifted funmaker of the first class, and also scored heavily in the laugh getting. Both worked under cork. A nice character bit in this sketch was contributed by Ebert White as a "think," a song, "You Are the Kind Of A Girl Men Forget," sung by Ewing and the end by White singing from a box, won several encores. White's singing was especially fine. The other members of the company are: Libby Robinson, Stella Jones, Mia Caution, Beatrice Moody, Alma Henderson and Pearl Saunders, who comprise a fast-working chorus. The chorus has been dressed quite richly and num "The picture program next week is as follows: Monday and Tuesday, "Daughters of the Mother and Gasson Glass; Wednesday and Thursday, "Three Wise Fools", starring Fleanor Boardman and Friday and Saturday, "Nostocracy", co-featuring Mary Alden and Rod LaRue.

"Baby" Mack has progressed far since last seen here, and is now a genuine comedienne, a character bit in which she carried a police whistle to Robinson from strolling her was neatly done. Robinson is a comic girl and has a good voice. He put over the best "booth" song ever heard here, and proved a riot. Robinson worked under cork. Sammy Lewis, a record singer, introduced by Raymond Jefferson, encores for several songs, and camelot accompanies of the Grace Walker singing, "That's Why They Call Me Shine," that stood them on their ear. Ferguson and Ferguson offered a skit having to do with a lost child. The lady as the child put over some nice character work, while Ferguson knocked out with his eccentric dance. Both worked under cork. Baby Wallace, the little five-year-old star, followed singing three songs and putting over some shimmy shaking and cooling that showed she has been getting a firmer hold on how to her stuff since last seen her. Butterbeans, the tall tresses and she of the famous brown power, came on to a big reception and soon had the house in a riot. Their songs and chatter went over with a double hang.

She mystified the audience with several difficult skits offered at the closing part is a comedy version of the last act of "The Brute," the well-known screen drama, and in this skit Brown got over some work that showed his class as a laugh-getter.

The chorus is composed of Blanche Wilson, May Crowley, Ruth Brown, and Little Fit. Pictures complete the bill. DUNBAR "Who Are My Parents?"

RAINBOW Black Herman Black Herman who is undoubtedly the superior of all the colored magicians and second-sight mystics ever seen here, is the stage attraction in the Rainbow this week where he is packing them in out into the street. Unlike the majority of so-called magicians, Black Herman does not continue his efforts to a certain form of performance, but changes his program in part at each performance. Monday evening his specialties consisted of some sleight-of-hand work after which he did the "Sawing a Woman in Toe" act.

A battery of questions were hurled at him by former Judge Cole (under whom 'Nutter studied law). In every possible legal way, Judge Cole tried to make Mr. Nutter answer the questions and incidents that would condemn him before the court. He was unsuccessful in every attempt. Not once did Nutter fail; always he was master of the situation, tense though it was. Frequently, upon questions by Mr. Nutter, Judge Cole was withdrawn important queries.

Corp BOTH PARTIES STRIP FOR INTENSIVE CAMPAIGN Voters Study Platforms of Republicans and Democrats In Order to Learn the Issues Involved REPUBLICANS SLIPPED UP Promise Colored Voters Tuberculosis Hospital They Already Have With the candidates for all State offices in the Fold and the party platform adopted by the respective conventions, both Republicans and Democrats are preparing for a campaign to win votes. Governor Hitchcock candidate for state is bringing tours of the state to Baltimore only for conference with heads of the Democratic party. Attorney General Armstrong, Republican candidate, likewise is carrying his campaign to voters by word of mouth and getting advice of Roland A. Chant, Senator. Senator is preparing in preparation for the three weeks' intensive campaigning both parties will do before the November election. Ritchie Points To His Record Governor Ritchie without committing himself to promises as to what he will do if re-acted, is running on his record. As far as the colored vote is concerned, Democratic leaders point to the improvement in school conditions, lengthening of school terms, increasing of teachers and establishing of new high schools during the past four years. They point also to the newly built tuberculosis sanitarium at Henrytown for colored patients and the appointment of a large colored personnel there. Enlargement of this sanitarium and still further improvement of the school system is in the program of the present administration. Laugh On Republicans The plank in the Republican Platform announcing that the party pledged itself to erect a tubercosis sanitarium for colored people started a hearty graffaw among the Democrats. Evidently the platform-makers did not know that such a sanitarium has already been built by Democrats costing $133,000 with a maintenance fund for the legislature and $10,000 this year. The hospital was opened only last week by white and colored personnel. Democrats declare that this plank indicates that there is no real interest in republicans in the colored voter, but only the desire to offer him a bait. A baited political leader has been consulted in the making of the platform, they say, this blunder could not have occurred. Ku Klux Issue On Shore Both parties concede that Mr. Aristrong will get the Ku Klux vote in the State. Not that Mr. Aristrong believes in the Klan principles or is a member of it, but the Ku Klux are sure on Government bills. Heliche will be given the Bregiment Armory for a demonstration last fall, and then turned around and permitted the Knights of Columbus to use it. One of the Southern organizers of the Klan it is said, is busy on the Eastern Shore. Especially in Dorchester, Massachusetts, the same counties, this man whose name is reported as Hawkins, has addressed big audiences, urging them to support the Republican ticket. Because of the large number of colored people on the 'Shore,' no word was said against Negroes, but prejudice was against them. On the Eastern Shore where similar meetings were held, the Catholic issue was dropped because of the large number of persons of that faith present, and the race issue raised. Those closest to the Klassen want to vote for him that is their affair, but once Governor, Mr. Arnold, has made his activities are within the law. Would Aid Education Friends of Mr. Armstrong point to him as one of the strongest men in the State. He is said to believe in equal pay for rural school teachers without regard to race or sex. He is declared to be willing to urge the State to make the vision of education of Negroes by means of a State university or an appropriation to an existing private institution, and he is said to be willing to have State institutions for colored persons manned as far as possible by colored personnel. Mr. Armstrong, it is pointed out, has gone with the Weller Republicans and the Browning-Marchant Republicans to unite in his campaign. If he can also secure the colored voters and the Ku Klux Klan in the State, which would be an unusual state of affairs, he election might reason some as close as age, when Browning Ritchie won out over Hoyne Nice, the Republican candidate, by a few hundred votes. In the preliminary survey, the Democrats are claiming Baltimore city and an even break in the counties. The Republicans are skimming the Eastern Shore by a smaller view than even break in Baltimore city. Three For Legislature For the first time Republicans have three colored candidates for the Legislature from the Fourth District. They are, Marcellus Dorsey, Arthur E. Briscoe and Louis H. Davenport. Three white women are also running for the Legislature for the first time, representing the Second, Third and Fifth Districts.

LOCAL GARVEYITES TO AIR TROUBLES IN COURT Garveyites in Baltimore will air internal troubles this week when a legal proceeding to halt alleged irregularities instituted by Sandy Moody is heard in the Circuit Court. The suit is directed against Benjamin Johnson and other members of the Board of Directors and involves the disposition of funds invested in Liberty Hall on Pennsylvania Avenue. According to the allegations of Mr. Moody and others the Board of directors collected sums of money for which they promised to issue notes of credit. It is also set out that the Board of directors used high-handed methods to obtain and keep control of the organization by usurping the right to decide the qualification of voters and that this was prejudicial to the interests of the complainants. Atty. Warner T. McQuinn and J. Stewart Davis represents the Board of Directors. MAN PLUNGES TO DEATH IN ESCAPE FROM OFFICER Edward Hall, Norfolk, Va., for some time employed as a stevedore, was drawn when he fell into the bay while attempting to evade a police officer Monday. Hall and a group of men were engaged in a crap game when an officer made his appearance. The men ran and Hall ran so fast that he could not check his gain as he came to the court overboard and his body was recovered some time later by the police officer Lannan. FACES ARSON CHARGE Jesse Taft, 15 N. Spring street was committed for the action of the Grand Jury at the Northwestern Police Station this week for setting fire to the house at 1215 High Alley occupied by Mrs Bertha Crockett.

"Good Morning Mrs. Carter Goes After Voo Examination Costly- "Good Morning Judge" Midnight Dice Party "Black cat bones, snail dust, and grave yard clay." were some of the things that made Mrs. Annie Carter, 841 Pierce street, go on the war path and nearly wreck the home of Mrs. Henrietta Pierce, 843 Pierce street, east Puyallup. Pierce was arrested after she had laid down a barrage of bricks, smoothing irons and other missiles, all aimed at the Voo Doo she claimed Mrs. Pierce was using to get her goat. "Judge," she told Magistrate Johannsen at the Western Police Court, "that woman was injured me. She smelled garryard clay and even sprinkled small dust and black cat bones dusy over my husband. Oh, Lordy, Oh, Lordy, I'm a ruined woman. I have pains all over my body and some other places too, and my husband is ruined. Mrs. Pierce then spoke up and stoutly defended the charge, where Mrs. Carter continued. "Judge I share am cujured. Bad luck is coming from every direction. Every which way I look hard times are staring me in the face." "And that is why you threw the bricks?" asked the Magistrate. Following Mrs. Carter's affirmative gave her a lecture on superstition and fined her $10 and costs for disturbing the peace. It cost Oscar Queen, 1237 Whatcoat street, just exactly $26.45 to feel the texture of a beautiful pair of silk hose last Saturday. Perhaps it would not have cost Mr. Queen this amount if he had gone into a store and picked up a pair of picking out a pair that adorned the lower extremities of Mrs. Mattie Nelson, 1010 Whatcoat street. Upon the latter's complaint Queen was arrested Saturday and fined 25 and costs Sunday morning, charged with annoying her According to her testimony when Queen, whom she did not know of had never seen, came by and placed his hand on her hose. Queen denied any knowledge of the offense, stating that if he did he was not conscious of it, nobody could pick up objects like the hose, which good eyes and plenty of knowledge" he was told as the turkey took him back. "Come seven, come eleven." "Baby needs a new pair of shoes." "Shoot the whole pile." "Let 'em roll, luth." These were some of the muffled sounds that came from a pool room at 438 N. Howard pool, just off a distinctive headquarters, like a flash out of a clear sky, literally flow down in the middle of a table where 29 men were engaged in rolling the bones early Sunday morning.

Then pandemonium broke loose, and when it was the bunch we were with the desk sergeant of the Northwestern Police Station. It happened this way. Clarence Loving, proprietor of the pool room where the dice game was in session, was doing his job as hostile enemies approached without the cooney, from headquarters, cased warning. But somehow, Captain up on him and before he could give the "desert sign," they had taken from him a knife in his place. So while the boys were a lively clip, the door opened and one of the detectives made a spring over the shoulders of the men and landed down in the middle of the table on the box containing about £70 in loose change. Loving was fined £25 and cooney was William Dixon. 1402 Pennsylvania avenue: Charles Caldwell. 239 W. Biddle street; Payton Harris, 309 W. Biddle Street; Robert Terry. 1229 W.

What is termed an educational campaign to bring about an agreement of white and colored people for a voluntary segregation law is being pushed by f. Phillip Pitt, white secretary of the Real Estate Department. According to Mr. Pitts plan the residential section of the city would be divided into white and colored areas. Hardly a day passes without some loud protest against black invasion of some African-American communities in AMERICAN. "In many instances these blocks are the logical places for Negroes to move, and the white dwellers, should move if they object to colored people." While the segregation by agreement of white and colored residents from white neighborhoods, Mr. Pitts, added it would not necessarily bar all white residents from colored neighborhoods.

Johnson. Miss Boyton, who for a number of years was a candidate and assistant to the deceased, alleged in her declaration that for several years she had served in the Army under a tenuitive agreement that she would be compensated in his will. This service began while the latter conducted a lunch room at 147 W. Montgomery street, and extended, according to her testimony, throughout in May 1922. When Johnson died, it was found by Mrs. Boyton that he had made provisions in his will for the sum of $150 per year for a period of ten years, as well as for his services and faithful attendance upon him. This she deemed insufficient and sued the trustees of the estate for an aggregate of $2,500, or a weekly wage of $12 during the length of her years. Beneficiaries and trustees of the estate held that Johnson sufficiently compensated Miss Boykin during his lifetime for her services and denied that she was not justly due any sum not designated in his will. Left Money To Liberian Institute After $100 to Provident Hospital and ten year annuities to a number of relatives Mr. Johnson left the residue of his estate to the Carolina Donavan N. and L. Institute in Grand Bassin County, Liberia, Africa. This estate consisted of 17 houses and farm land in Virginia and property at 175 W. Montgomery and this city, Miami. Ashley Hawkins and Mesa Caldwell, a relative of the deceased, were designated trustees of the estate in the will. Atty, George W. McMechan, represented the defendants while Atty, Milton Dashields represented Miss Boyton.

They are charged by the Consolidated Gas and Electric Light Company with connecting the gas pipes of the house with the company's supply pipes "right on" and passing gas pipes "right on" and nothing more months without paying. The nephew is charged with doing the plumbing and making a good job of it. The company now presents Mrs. Robinson with a bill for $75 and refuses to accept the money preferring to push the case in court. The amounts of gas and electric current are "swiped" in this manner every year.

COURTS AVERAGE ONE CASE OF RAPE EVERY WEEK 31 Cases of Criminal Assault Have Come Into State's Attorney's Office This Year FEW RAPISTS CONVICTED Only 5 Out of 31 Now Serving Terms in Jail or Penitentiary One girl under sixteen years of age each week since January 1st, had been assaulted and ruined by the lust of some man or boy according to records in the office of the State's Attorney and the Baltimore Criminal Justice Commission. Since the first of the year there have come into the courts of the city 31 cases of rape, assault and carnal knowledge. All of these except one have been committed on girls under sixteen years of age and ten on girls even under 12-years. Of the persons charged with this class of crimes twenty-two have been men over 18-years of age, while the remainder have been less mature youths. Few Go To Prison Of twenty-six cases whose records are complete only five are serving prison terms. They are, Braith Bolling, who is serving a 15-year term for committing rape on 12-year-old Hazel Morgan; William Johnson is serving a 17-year term in the House of Correction for committing the same offense on Rosella Maley. Ello Poole got three years in the prison for assaulting Bessie Watkins and Elijah Foley. Bessie served a 17-year term in committing Elizabeth Valentine. The other man serving time is Lawrence Miller, who assaulted Denia Miller. Fourteen of those tried in the Criminal Court were acquitted of the crime while the State entered a stet in two cases and Nolle Prossed one. In one case a fine of $54.45 covering costs was assessed while in three cases the defendants were paroled. Had victims been white, severer sentences would undoubtedly have handed out. The character of the prosecuting witness has entered as a big factor in the lenient treatment given a number of these cases, it being shown often that even in the cases of some of the very young victims the element of physical force was missing. Law Specific The laws of Maryland limits the age of consent to 14-years. But between the ages of 14 and 16-years even, without force, the act constitutes the crime of coronal knowledge, for which a prison sentence may be given, provided the defendant is over 18-years of age.

"The only thing, I don't want him to worry," she said. "He's always talking about my health's all right. I haven't been feeling so awful good later, but I'm not going to doctors about it, though I do laundry for several of them. "The only thing the trouble with my health is old age, and I haven't heard yet of any care for that. Ive passed the three score and ten" the good book says is man's lifetime and I am going to get every day and am not the sheer tired I am not worrying and I don't want him to. Wants Him To Marry "I do wish Roland would get married. When a man's young and successful he's popular, and it he's popular he's going to have a baby. When he gets pregnant he increases and multiply. When I said that to Roland he said he thought the Lord intended him to repent and reason. "Reason he was soooing." Don't know though. Anyway his times his own. Everybody's life is meant just especially for them, and not for you. Of course, the good Lord made us women just especially worried about our own particular condition. I we lost love, and don't stay as long as I have. But that's the Plan. The more I see Roland getting along, the more pleased I am. "But if he'll just believe half as much as I do, I won't have one moral worry when I go." She stood erect. Her eyes flushed and glistened. It is the mother of Roland Hayes. Tenor's Early Days Roland and his brother Robert, who also live in Boston today, went to school three" or four months in a year, between harvesting and phasingtime, in Carpenteria. That was their birthplace. At Chattanooga they alternated in studying and working, one working a year and earning money, while the other studied, then turn about, as in the manner of tailors. Robert remembers that at school Roland, when called on to get up and speak his piece, used to get so nervous beforehand that he would put his head down on his desk in a cry. And he was the same thing at Sunday-school, said his sister-in-law, Margaret Hayes. "It's funny to think of, isn't it? Roland up now to any audience without a quiver, but in those days I guess you'd have said he up to an audience anywhere." At the Chattantoga school a certain number of the pupils were trained each year to sing. The brother of one of the teachers was invited to begin a servicery. Roland accepted his offer to teach him singing with a degree of indifference but—he began to sing.

Van Burst 9th, SHIGAS Call VErnon 6016 Foreman In Foundry He became foreman, in an iron foundry, and at night school and continued his singing lessons. After nine years he had gone by his wife's "brotherhood" to use his word, about singing. With $50 in his pocket he set out for Oorlin, planning to pay his way by singing. In Nashua every concert he gave was a nut failure. His $50 was gone, but meanwhile he was a university in Nashua. He presented himself there, sang "Beyond the Gates or Paradise," a song he now sings as an encore after practically all of his programmes to the woman who questioned him after his youth's education at a student, to find out whether he was serious to the university. No one showed any particular interest or favoritism, but he was given has chance. He waited on the bus and sang whenever the university required it, in return for tuition in literature and music. He was seen at the band for four years. Then he went to Louisville where he became a waiter at a rich music club, and was there by 11 p.m. in Boston. A band of Fisk University singers brought Hayes to Boston when they to take part in a spectacle "The World in Boston," given in Mechanics Hall in 1834, when Hayes singers test Boston Hayes remained. An audition was arranged for him, when he sang before Arthur Foote Morris Parker and Arum Hubbard. After his gist Mr. Putnam told Hayes that he would pay for his lessons.

Sutherland and brought his mother from the south the next year. It was white he was terminally on his knees in Sutherland's office that he gave his most concert attended by one of the officers and clerks of his company in Symphony I, Nov. 15, 1917. "I cannot tell to save my life," Mr. Rubbard said, describing that event, "now I tell that night, the only thing I remember is that the usher opened the door to me and I saw him, absolutely gunned, messing, everything, and I was told one people were turned away—I felt like nothing. "I didn't realize the effect of anything out, but, with encouragement, I was taken away with the magnitude of the whole thing that when, I saw the reports the next day in the papers I could marry and not actually failed marriage." "I have never forgotten... that was my first real shoe-on. From that time things have gone very very well. We had carried the end of our epoch. First European Tour. Nevertheless, it was not wholly smooth running. In 1929 Hayes went to Europe, and he had poor luck. The critics had not expected serious things of a colorful singer and it was a time before they would take him as an artist of substance. He had his available tunes in his trip and his concerts. He faced not only failure but also need. He had he waged everything, even shortening his tool supply and giving up every luxury, and mortality in fear of a denounce when the weather there was a cool shortage—a matter which New Englanders will understand—because the Welsh coal miners, and city authorities had ordered public halls should be closed, would become of Hayes concern. He was sitting brooding over all this in his hotel room fairly sick with physical strain and worry about his health, fearing he was being dummed, but picked up the receiver. It was a summons, a "command" to sing for the King and Queen, and he sang the singer. To add to this encouragement, Lloyd George succeeded in ending the coal miners' strike so that the concert took place as per schedule. Hayes finally persuaded the London cities of his worth and his musical position was well secured in the capital although at that time the command of the command to sing to royalty. Arriving at Buckingham Palace, where he was to appear for exactly 20 minutes before the King and Queen, Mr. Hayes, the man who had trained him by how many Lawrence Brown, had an amusing experience in being instructed, according to the official custom and precaution, in their behavior before the royal palace. Questions "to the king," "to the queen," and "No, your Majesty," and "Would it please Your majesty," and when Majesty entered they were to bow as low as possible, and then down, "like the English soldiers." At 5.30 to the minute Their Majesties were announced. Hayes and company began bowing like mad. What did the British monarch do, and what a worried manner and said, "That isn't necessary." The half hour went into two hours. Hayes says that the King had to say, "I'm not going to say in conversation than in his singing." He told the King then, as he has told it, since to others, of his desire to express the serious music and illustrate the creature genius of his race in the Wines Dishes At Home "When Roland comes back to Boston," said his sister-in-law, Mrs. Hayes. "he'll come in here the same old way, just like brother and sister. If I wear dishes he'll use a towel and I have. If I've to go down cellar for coal he'll grab the bucket himself. If I try to get him up a good meal he'll get mad, say, 'Sis.' I—call him Buddy and he calls me 'Sis'—I—you, makes a fuss of fuss about me I'll be born."

And if he goes to the cupboard to get a glass to fill with water he likely as not take a jelly glass instead of one of the me gue's glass. He'll simply glue it as good, isn't it?" "That's Roland. Reason were so proud of him isn't just his singing. It's the act that he's never got a swelled head.

There was a time when to have decharged boldly out loud in a public place that it paid to advertise, probably have surrender, up a chorus of dissenters, but today advertising is better understood. At advertising is good—some advertising is better—but the very best advertising is the only thing that which slips into the home-town paper and goes direct to the home. To be sure, the best bit of soil that ever lay out of obscurity something really drops into the seed into the ground. Give your newspaper advertising its due—co-operation, have the copy properly written, and if you are not sure, it will get results, have someone who knows how to write it, and newspaper advertising will do its full shore every time.

Conrad Vincent, a prominent physician, with offices at 209 West 135th street, last Thursday, by a deputy sheriff, New York social circles were thrown into a state bordering on hysteria.

Tandy, a noted architect.

'SUPERMAN TOMAN' TENTH INSTALLMENT I have no reason to doubt your experiences, sir, but similar tales can be told of Caucasian women. Isn't it they who pose for those lewd pictures of which the late Anthony Comstock had so remarkable a collection? The other did not reply, so Dixon continued: "A French army surgeon who spent thirty years in the tropics and made a study of the Negro woman, primitive and civilized, says: 'I must in the first place do my best to destroy the common impression that the Negress is very passionate. She is nothing of the kind.' He goes on to speak of the 'contempt of the Negress for the white man in certain respects. "On the other hand, it is a well-known fact that civilized women, especially of European steek, prefer men of the Don—well—do not incline very much to the St. Anthony type. Civilized woman is far more sexually conscious than primitive woman. Women, primitively modest. Women, or what passes for it, has been forced on them by man, because sex interferences with business. Women are not here it not for the law the standard of modesty among American and European women would be far below what it is. The tendency is toward belonging to many African tribes, before a girl can get a husband she must prove chastity before a jury of married women. Among other tribes cultivation is of importance in many parts of Africa the mustache bride is punished in a devilish appropriate manner, as Havelock Ellis tells. I know personally to one of the women used to practice, until prevented by the British, that showed the high value these people placed on chastity—I mean market value; for in African societies women among ourselves. We, however, are rather skillful at deducing ourselves to the contrary. Again, women in European descent women's sexual character in his Sonnets to Sandry Notes of Music in IV, certainly wasn't thinking of Negro women. Nor were Weingel-ing, Sapporo, Jesse Olsen, Stirling, Bocciac, Baltz, or Musselman when they wrote. “In spite of all you may say to the contrary,” persisted the senator, “the standard of morality among white women is infinitely higher than among Negro ones.” “I believe that a greater percentage of white women maintain their so-called honor than Negro ones because it is more than ever the more important.” On the other hand, it is precisely because of this that the whites are more sex-conscious. They have the greater difficulty in finding their affinity, and are thus more prone to sophistication and tribalism and those many other forms of sexual perversions studied by Ellis, Kisch, Kraft-Ebling, Ploch, and others. In fact, the more so, the greater the less disinteracting, but more normative. It is most important to remember that it is almost impossible to repress the sexual forces. When repressed in one direction they merely crop out in another. No other people, however, are so skilful at deluding themselves that they have subdued these forces as the English-speaking ones. In most cases, the sex-consciousness of the Negro woman, she, more than all the other agencies combined, is to be held responsible for the low esteem in which the Negro group is held. She is responsible for the bastardizing of the race, and she cannot plead physical bondage any more. Nor is this ill-feeling relationship confined to the ignorant and lower classes of colorous women. In the same way, the add to the poor is of colored women is the more installment collectors, insurance men, gas men and others who stream into Negro homes when the men are at work. But the statement that all Negro women are ROANOKE, VA. Ramoske, Va., Oct. 4—Mrs. Jas. E., Henderson left for Pittsburgh, Pa., where she was the guest of Mrs. Mary Johnson.

ROGERS Other Stories Protected by the K ubt your experiences, sir, but of Caucasian women. Isn't it wd pictures of which the late remarkable a collection?" aptly, so Dixon continued: "A pent thirty years in the tropics Negro woman, primitive and the first place do my best to vision that the Negress is very of the kind.' He goes on to the Negress for the white man iniminal—one statement that I hear very frequently on these cars; only on my last trip one of the directors of an insurance company made it to me—can mean only one of them, or where 'all looks yellow to the juvenile eye,' or the speakers have been associating with a class of young people who look low as themselves, and formed their opinions there, in which case their remarks with equal civility have led to the lives of both groups of citizens are intricately woven together. I am convinced that any attempt at improving Negro morality by a reform of the morals of the whites "reformed in the morals of the whites." The train stopped and Dixon went out to open the trap-door. Bacon resigned, again diligently reviving in his mind all the conventional points of Negro inferiority. At last he decided that he had found one—a woman he had not had. Now, certain of victory, he waited for Dixon's return. Once when the latter returned to the smoker to place towels for the new girl, he was told that but Dixon asked to be excused, saying that he had to see the newcomers to bed. Fifteen minutes later, and the senator said impressively: "I have a point that conclusively proves Negro inferiority. The slave, alone, is guilty of the most repressive, most debasing practice known to humanity—at thing done by only the slave himself. The number of the caging of their own kind. Even in this country you can find Negroes whose fathers and brothers were cambals, since they were from the portionation of Africans to these shores ceased. And the whole pack of those now here would be cannibals, and they would then away from their mess of human flesh. The white man has never been guilty of such a thing, and cannot trace our history, think God." Dixon seemed unimpressed. He said quietly, "It is probably true that cannibalism is well as common in certain Indian tribes in the wilds of Israel, as reported by the Rise expedition. These prerequisites now make it possible to make the same light as we. May I read you what Finot has to say on the subject? The senator did not reply, but he made it jump. I inshrill few him read: 'If a mother passes through a village with a little one, all the others will go to her and take the child to make it jump.' A cannibal who has just enjoyed a piece of human flesh as this is the most sensitive of civilized folk. Cannibalism itself does not present these people the repulsive aspects that we so strongly oppose. Dixon closed the book and said: "Contrary to your assertions, however, branches of the white race have been cannibals. Herodotus says that the Egyptian soldier-vampire-like, used to suck the blood from the first enemy he killed. The Padeens, he said, used to eat their dead, white the Issedenians would kill and eat all those who were very ill, or approached. APEX PR The Wor Hair Prep AGENTS WANTED APEX PRODUCTS The Worlds best Hair Preparations THE AFRO-AMERICAN SOUTH'S BIGGEST AND BEST WEEKLY BALTIMORE, OCT. 5, 1923 senility. The Huns used to drink human blood out of the skulls of their enemy. Gibbon tells of the cannibalism practised by the Romans listed in the British lakes as late as the Fourth Century A. D. St. Jerome says: 'When I was a boy in Gaul I became a cannibal and lived in Britain, eating human flesh, and although there were plenty of cattle and sheep at their disposal would prefer to herd them herself, since of female breast.' This observation of St. Jerome is confirmed by the Welsh Triads. These documents accuse cannibalism of being a crime. The Triads allege that cannibalism was openly practised at the court of King Eththelfry. They also tell of the great fondness of Harior, a Welshman, for human flesh. "EX-Ambassador Gerard, in his book, 'My Four Years in Germany, says that cannibalism was openly tolerated for the Thirty Years' War, and recent reports from Russia persist in saying that, owing to the famine, I should tell you a great deal more, but I have said enough to show that cannibalism among black or white is rather a matter of time and place. Cannibalism has been common to all mankind. The roasting alive of human beings in the South is but a relic of cannibalism, and I am noticing the eating the flesh of the burnt Negro, in time of famine, in pretty much the same manner that the white riffles. So far as this matter of cannibalism is concerned, I do think that the men who grind out the live of their fellows in sweet flesh go to Palm Beach and Monte Carlo to eat themselves, are just as effectively eaters of human flesh as the African who eats the enemy by the battle—and certainly less merciful." The senator appeared more embarrassed than ever. While Dale Johnson had come to him. While he felt sure that it could be charged only against Negroes, Mr. Obama had decided to speak of it. "What of the disagreeable odor of the Negro," he said, with his northern sisters to faint from this snail that finds an equal only in the skunk." (To Be Continued Next Week.) CULPEPPER, VA.

BERT WILLIAMS DID NOT ALWAYS SUCCEED disease on society disease on disease on "The Senegambian Carnival," but the life of that piece was short, and after touring a few middle western cities it stranded in Cincinnati. Following this unhappy experience boys made their way back to New York and they put into rehearsal, risking what money they could raise,—a snow called "The Lucky Coon." It failed and they followed it with Four-Eleven Forty Four. After Four-Eleven Forty Four this piece too met with but inducent success and when it closed the team were discouraged for a while. They had just a taste of success. They had known the joy of pleasing an audience; and now the tide seemed to have changed just when they were so hopeful of achieving a real and lasting success. Then, too, the stars were gone. The team had not warrant their taking that step. Mr. Shipp says, "They called me in to see what was the matter with 'Four-Eleven Forty Four' and the first suggestion I made was that it be remained The Policy players' after that we made some changes in it and decided to all re-vamped it made some money." With some continued success in prospect both stars married, Mr. Williams married a widow, and George Walker married a talented dancer, Miss Ada Overton. Both their wives were members of their theatrical companies during atlantic seasons that followed. Ada Walker was married to a band a few years, during which time she forged steadily ahead in the profession, attaining headline position in big time vaudeville. Mrs. Williams is living. She retired from the stage when her husband died. At about this time, all of the popular "coon" songs were numbers which Williams had written and introduced. There was: **GOOD MORNIN CARRIE** Good Morning Carrie. How you dreamin'? Was you dreamin' about me, my pretty maid? Now look here Carrie, when are you gon't marry? In springtime, Honey? Good marmor' nain. Then there was "My Castle on the River Nile," written by Williams and sung by him a short time; but with greater success and for a longer period it was Robert Cole of Cole and Johnson. Williams "ed many songs which he discarded in favor of others unless they registered real hits. In place of the River Nile, he sang "Made Those Goo Goo Eyes" and "Oh I don't Know, You Ain't So Warm." Both were termed knock out hits. Their titles are catch phrases, living to this day, appurtenant part of the vernacular. PLEASANTVILLE, N. J. Pleasantville, N. J.

Games for Younger Children POM POM PULLAWAY This game is often played between the curbings of a city street, but is suitable for any open space which is large enough to permit two lines to be drawn across it and feet between them. All players stand on one side behind one of the dividing lines, except one player who it "it" and who stands in the center of the open ground. He calls: "Pom Pom Pullaway." If you don't come, I'll pull you away if you don't come. I'll play the players must run across the open space to the safety line on the opposite side, the one who is "it" trying to tag as many as possible before they reach that line. Anyone tagged by the one-who is "it" joins him in helping to catch each player as they dash across the open space; but the one originally "it" remains the caller throughout the game. The player who is "it" again calls "Pom Pom Pullaway," etc., and all the uncaught players must run for their original goal. The players run from one goal to the other in this way until all have seen the game start all over once. The first one to be caught in one game becomes "it" for the next game.

The Black Sox lost the first game the twin tilt with the Bacharach Staging one of the most inter- ning pitching duels seen at Maryland Park for the past several weeks, George Britton, for the black Sox, and Carter, for the assisters, locked horns in the six- ning night cap, with Britton merging winner, 4-2.

While he was then dishpan, the visiting cloutmen located him for five safe walls, three of which were doubles against the fence. Al Britt followed Carr to the box, but he too, was ple for the Seaside sluggers. He failed to finish the second infining. Lindsay was sent in and finished the game. To add to the distress of the locals, was the shakiness of Poles who made four of the eight errors that the Sox made in this game and Gordon who made three by dropping flies to left field. Joe Lewis and Lefty Smith were engaged for the line-up in the second game, Lewis catching and Smith going to his old familiar camping ground. The largest crowd for sometime past was on hand and gave Lewis and Smith a great reception. Several near scarps among the spectators, one of which Poles was involved, a hot dispute by the Bacharach team when Umpis Aubrey called a balk on Carter, which drew a squad of police of the disbanded Mason on head by Poles who was attempting to throw him out at thirty were some of the other happenings that enlivened the day.

CURTAIN RINGS DOWN ON EASTERN LEAGUE CURTAIN RINGS DOWN ON EASTERN LEAGUE Hilldale Finishes First, Black Sox Last in First League Race Among Eastern Colored Clubs LEAGUE TO BE CONTINUED Effort To Be Made To Enlarge It To An Eight-Club Organization Philadelphia, Oct. 4.—Commissioners James J| Keenan, Charles P. Spedden, Thomas Jackson, Alexander Pompez, Nat C. Strong and Chairman Ed. Bolden, forming the governing body of the Mutual Association, met at the Y. M. C. A. in Philadelphia, September 29, and proceeded to wind up business matters of the first season they have operated as an organized body. The league season was voted officially closed and the Philadelphia Hilldale Club decared the pennant winner. Provision for a suitable championship emblem to be cured at the end of the season to the win was announced at a later date was unanimously, the trophy to be in the form of a pennant that will naturally be raised when the Philadelphia entry opens their next season. While the present circuit members have all announced their intention of standing pat for the 1924 campaign, the Commissioners voiced their opinion to the effect that if suitable cities within the radius of the present circuit should seek franchises in the Association, the officials will look favorably on eight club circuit for next year. Already applications have been received from three nearby cities that have shown prospects of being good investment opportunities as future business to be acted upon at the annual meeting in December.

"FED DARNEY" RED DABNEY, HAMPTON CIANT, PUTS OUT TWO OR THREE MEN EVRY PLAY A COLORED WRESTLER WHO CAN'T FIND AN OPPONENT Edward Geerd, Black Giant, Strong Man, and Native of Holland, Calls on Afro Sports Editor Although Battling Siki came to town last week in the wake of considerable advertising, he was not permitted to completely absorb the limelight as sole dusky representative of Eurone. On Thursday there breezed into the Afro office a tail very dark, very straight and very muscular gentleman with a score or more pictures and placards under his arm looking for the Sports Editor. In conversation with the caller who spoke English with some trace of accent, we learned that his name was Edward Geerd, that he was a native of Armstam, Holland, where he was born and where his family still lives and that his vocation, avocation, forte or profession however he regards it is that of giant strong man and wrestler. Mr. Geerd showed us many pages of himself in the act of lifting weights, holding planks on his chest some of which totaled a weight of one thousand pounds. In Holland, he said, every man went in for strong man stuff from lifting tremendous weights to bending great iron bars with the bare hands. In the front rank of these mighty men. Geerd held his own for his weight (152 pounds). In wrestling he was also in the front rank. Since coming to this country, he had not wrestled any use there were no colored wrestlers and white men would not meet him. He has been in this country about two years and has been doing his strongman stunts in the South and West. He also took up boxing some time ago and says that he has had many workouts with George Godfrey whom he has engaged in nine bouts since taking up boxing and won eight of them. Thinks Light Of Sikl We asked him what chance in his judgment would Siki have that Godfrey. He has never seen Siki box, but he did not hesitate to say that the hour would be a walk. Godfrey as he was much too large for the age. We then asked what chance did he think Kid Norfolk would have with Siki. He was quite certain that Norfolk would also dispose of the Senegalese, Geerd met Siki while in Baltimore for the first time, and was not greatly impressed by Battles public conduct. This was infused the judgment of the swarthy Hollander somewhat. There was one thing that Geerd agreed with Skii on and that was failure to understand the color line in this country and how colored people could live here and seem content under it. In Holland. Geerd said nobody ever thought of color, every man associated with it, whatever their color. He drowned the hint that he would be shortly shaking the dust of the U. S. A. off his heels. We are getting ready to open Beauty Parlors all over the city for Ladies and Gents, for the purpose of beautifying the skin. The $250 fee for men will be opened about September 15th, at 1425 Penna. Avenue (second floor). Watch this space. for the opening announcement. THE KILL DISHOR CO A BE Of all the football players I ever saw in action, I want to take my hat off to Bill Lewis of Boston. He is a lawyer now and has been an assistant attorney general of the United States, but a quarter of a century ago he was center on the Harvard football team. Two hundred pounds of muscle, he was, who went through the line carrying the whole Yale team on his back. The only player in this day who reminds me of Lewis is Red Dabney, last year's captain at Hampton. Dabney played the center position also, but in every scrimmage he was either under the pile or on top of it. Dabney is the only man I ever saw, who could leave his position and go back into the backfield when his team needed a few yards for a touchdown. "Give me the ball," he would say loud enough for everybody to hear, and invariably he would make his distance. Fritz Pollard was the fastest football player I ever saw. He dodged like a jack rabbit and once he got ahead of a man he was never caught. I have seen Pollard throw off six tacklers, their hands sliding down his trousers as if they had been covered with grease. Back around 1911, if memory serves, Howard and Lincoln battled on Lincoln's campus back and forth. Neither side could score, until finally Bullet Slaughter was given the ball on the old end around play and ran 25 yards for the first touchdown Howard scored on Lincoln for several years. If Skinker is in the Lincoln line-up this year, Lincoln will beat Howard. That young man is the best catcher of forward passes in the world, barring none. Last year Howard had a finely trained team that uncorked the most amazing collection of plays ever seen on the gridiron. Opposed to this, Lincoln had only Skinker's genius in catching forward passes and Lincoln won with ease.

FRITZ POLLARD'S DODCING ENABLED BROWN TO BEAT ALL OPONENTS. "TIGER" FIGHTS TWO ROUNDS WITH A BROKEN HAND Smashed Forefinger Will Keep Him Inactive for Eight Weeks Preston News Service Mexico City, Oct. 3.—In a match staged here before one of the larger houses here attending a boxing match, Tiger Flowers, sensational Atlanta, Ga., Negro middleweight, took the role of pitcher and Jim Flynn, Pueblo heavyweight, was catcher. Flowers, as is his usual custom, went right after Flynn from the tap of the first gong, cutting Flynn up considerably in the first session and sending the man who one time knocked out Jack Dempsey, to his corner a sorry looking sight, with blood flowing from his eye, nose and mouth. The second round for the first part was a repetition of the first until two minutes had elapsed when Flowers sent a terrific left hook straight to the button and Flynn went down apparently for keeps. Referee Saintefonte, who handled the penalty, seemed to be suffering equally as much as Flynn, so he managed to take the remaining last minute to count nine, when the bell sounding ending the round. In letting loose a hard right to the head in the third round, Flowers broke a bone in his right hand, he continued to buffle Flynn with his left and Flynn was in a bad way at the end of the third st stna. Up so this time Flynn had failed to land a single punch. During the fourth session, which Flowers easily carried with one hand Flynn attempted to land twice, both of these attempts easily blocked Flowers and Flynn were wobbly on his return to his corner, from the hard and piercing lefts he had received during the fourth session. Flynn was a pitiful sight to behold as his face was bleeding terribly. The fifth round began with Flynn almost out of his feet but still barring in trying to take everything that Flowers could offer. A hard left uppercut sent Flynn reeling to the ropes, which alone held him up. At this juncture, Flowers broke out for the rest of the evening. After a wait for twenty minutes, in which time Flowers' broken hand had time to swell and became very painful, Walk Miller, manager of Flowers, called the doctor, who examined the hand and found that the bone in Flowers forefinger was completely broken in two. Miller took Flowers from the ring in the darkness and the match was awarded to Flynn, much to the delight of the referee and a few who had bet money on Flynn and witnessed their idol hopelessly beaten. The Spanish fans and Mexican promoters were there, and in their praise and offers were made to Manager Miller with a feather attached for the next appearance of Flower, in Mexico City. Manager Miller was forced to cancel matches already scheduled at Jaurez, Mexico, with Jeff Smith and another in Mexico, with Jeff Smith and another in Hawaii, Cuba, the opponent not yet named. According to the attending physician Flowers will be out of the fighting game for at least six or eight weeks, but his manager says he will jump back soon. He will be the first to meet Jeff Smith, at Jaurez some time in November. Freeman Bernstein, who was present at the match in Mexico City, is making every effort to sign Harry Greb or Mike McLigue for a twenty-round match for the world's championship title, the match to be staged in Mexico City.

And it expects to do this despite the fact that the school will be up against the toughest schedule it has ever encountered, and a larger number of games. "The squad is composed mostly of inexperienced men, but Coach Gib- son has discovered some valuable material and believes that he will be able to build up a team that will rescue the school from the football outfit that has been in for the most several seasons. One of the drawbacks in the past has been a lack of weight. The men who have possessed the other essentials to make the first team have been in the aggregate lighter than the teams they have had to face. This year there are several new men on the squad who will add the necessary baggage that has been absent in the past. Coach Gibson is putting the squad thru stiff workouts in the fundamentals, daily at Druid Hill Park. Within a few days he will take up the more difficult maneuvers. The team will open its season October 12 at Annapolis. The names of the entire squad follow: T.E.A. "A"—Troy. Snowden. Paul Brooks, Mack Dixon, Glover. Harmon.

SIKI AND KID NORFOLK MATCHED AGAIN New York City, Oct. 4. — (Presson News Service) The much discussed battle between Battling Siki former light heavyweight champion Billy Rodrik, ranked with the leading heavyweight fighters of the day, will take place in Madison Square Garden to arrangements that are being made by Tex Rickard and his match maker, Frank Fourney. This bout was originally scheduled to fact that the Singular Seagrets became involved in the law, due to boxing an exhibition in the Lafayette theatre, before he had obtained off. There is every indication now that the bout will take place on the evening of October 19. Both Norfolk and Siki have it in mind, so it is very probable that the boxing commission will approve them. Siki, who will receive a license from the commission, will do his training in the arena at Madison Square Garden. SAILOR McCOLLORS BEATS HAYES By L. Musschenburge Philadelphia, Oct. 2. 8-Jerry Hayes and Sailor McCollors, the latter a sailor, fought the best lightly-eyed evening of the year, show held by Philadelphia Veterans of the 19th New York. Thursday evening at the National A. C. boy, who is a glutton for punishment, carried the fight to McCollors throughout the six rounds of terrifin milling. The first round was even. Each round was a fight, and McCollors woke up. His smashes to the jaw and body were much in evidence. Yet Hayes, who seemed to be going, would come back and continue. It was a slip and tuck affair until the beginning of the fifth round. McCollors' terrifin smashes began to toll on Hayes. However, at the end of the fifth round, Hayes again did his come back stuff. And it brought the fans to their feet. Hayes stood up and looked much to the delight of Hayes' followers. At the end McCollors won by a shade. He was immediately signed for a match with Joe Philadelphia's famous welterweight. In the windblow, Johnny Griffith, cow, battling Frisco, the coming of New York, look like a monk- kid,汁, made short work of Bragg Hale.

Massenburge Philadelphia, Oct. 3—Bobbie Dobbs, the veteran trainer, made a statement Thursday night that will be food for thought. "When Jack Dobbs the Canadian nightwinger knocked out Geo. Godfrey last winter in New York, sports writers and fight fans in the East were under the impression that the fight was 'fixed between Godfrey and Robert' Dobbs made the following statement for the readers of this paper: "It wasn't 'fixed' at all, Renault is just a better man that's all. His fighting style is a better one. He is the top-tier fighters don't fight him. In fact, he is the best in the world." "What chance would Renault have with Dempsey and Wills?" I asked. He could beat either one of them. Nine out of every ten fighters he has had they end by the route route." And he advised me that his years of experience with fighters gave him knowledge of fighters. In conclusion he gated: "When ever Renault fights put your jack on him." ST. PAUL-SEMINARY GAME SATURDAY (Bu J. L.

HILLDALE WINDS UP WITH A VICTORY HILLDALE WINDS UP WITH A VICTORY Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 29.—Ed. Bolden's Hildale Club ended the championship of the Eastern Colored League here today by virtue of their Royal Thunder, due to the muster pitching of Hildale's star southpaw, Nip Winters. Three little hits, all of them singles, was all the Brooklyn Royals' contests against Nip, who set down nine via the strikeout route. Nip would have had a shutout, but for the fact that both of Hildale's errors were bunched in the 6th inning, when the Royals scored their lone run.

MORGAN COMMUNITY HOUSE TO HAVE BASKETBALL TEAM (Preston News Service) Pittsburgh, Pa., Oct. 6—The Morgan Community House basketball team, under the coaching of W. J. Young, former Lincoln University star, captain of the Loendibasketball team, will put one of the strongest lightweight floor clubs out this season in the history of the city. A further study of Battling Ski during his stay in this city last week after our first interview, gave the writer an opportunity to get a closer insight into his character. First, and above all else, Ski is a comedian, a fact which he realizes—and even attempts to cultivate. We heard him remark that he comedied during some of his humiliating antics. To see him kiss Tom Smith on the forehead and note Tom's expression was worth $10 of anybody's money. He is a big, good-natured boy, always on the lookout for fun, Happy-go-ucky, with never a heartless attitude in his character. And it is just this fast phases of his nature that will surely be his undoing unless someone takes him in hand with a heart big enough to protect him from the large puffs of the large cities of this country. His hall-follow-well-met attitude and his habit of buying food and near-beer for practically everyone who happens in when to his dinner, he can sit in front of him that certain type of underworld leeches that will suck him dry of every dollar he can manage to pick up in his theatrical exhibitions and boxing louts. Handled properly Sikh would become a financial asset purely from a theatrical standpoint. But left to the mercies of the riff raff that is now locking around him he can be a great teacher to the shaughter. He told us that he would remain in this country about two months. Under the conditions of the law, he would just about eight weeks too long. Sikh cannot drink all the "hootch" in America and then expect to be a fighter. Norfolk, who leads a would knock him into next week. Jack Dempsey, according to latest reports, still proclaims that he won't fight Harry Wills. Still a witch of the past, he offers the efforts of Wills to hold up that $500,000 he got for battling Firpo, or else is afraid of the Brown Panther and thinks he can get away with this as an excuse. But it won't work. The public is going to force Dempsey into the ring with Wills just as the public eventually forced Jeffries into a match with Jack Johnson, although Jeff had declared he would never fight a colored man. It is a sad commentary on the humanism of some of our well-to-do gentry, of the sport world that despite the fact that they often call their companions" with whom Young Peter Jackson spent his casily-gotten coin in the keyway of his boxing career, it remained for a white man in a real bantam boxer) to rescue his body from a pauper's grave. This fact is a true lesson that many students who spend their coin as they hover around the white lights, as they hope some of them will take heed. GODFREY-SIKI BOUT OFF Philadelphia, Oct. 4. The sight- round bout between Battling Siki and the Giants scheduled to take place at the Arena October 8, has been called off by Godfrey. Why he refused the fight this and the bargain gain was not stated. Hilldale, 3; Brooklyn, Philia, Pa., Sept. 29 -Nip Winters was "right" when he strolled to the box in the game-between Hildale and the Brooklyn Royal Giants Saturday, and as a result, Nip held the Royals to three lone binges and two saves, who roped who roped who roped in the dish-pan for the purple clan was somewhat erratic and yielded ten safeties.

SIKI IS A 'GENTLEMAN' WHEN "STEWED" By Jim Watson Of course you know Battling Ski in town in my last week. Well, I makes up my mind to have a trail, and I will go on a hunt, figuring on having a word with him in spite of his rep as a lion toter and cafe smasher. I was told that I would find him in Drudk Hill avenue, and hoping against hope that I would get there before he smashed the place to smitheroons. I lit out awhile and found the avenue. I stood outside but at not hearing any I cased in. And what do you think? There sat the big rough houser punishment of any high born Freedman. I eased up to his table with one eye on the door, figuring on making a quick exit if anything happened. I remembered a little frog I had picked up in the base ports of France back in '17, so I starts out: "Bon Jour M'sleu." He looked at me a little uncertain at first, then I thought I saw an explosion coming, so I starts backing away. But I sure wa ssurprised. He daintily wipes his mouth with a napkin and rises, bowing low. "Bon Jour," he says. "Voulez vous repose." I eases into the chair he offered me, and do you know that bird was as quiet and refined as any of our college professors. And here's something else I want to say right here. I don't know why those pictures of him look like they do, because he's far from homely. Some of these sheils of ours running up and down here look a whole lot worse. Any how, I asked him about that map of tow he carries around on his head, "Are you going to have that stuff cut off?" He understands me (he talks fair English.) and bends over my way with his head down, "Heet my head," he says grinning. I gave him a light tap on the beam, and I knew at once why he kept all that hair on there. Then he explained that when an opponent got too hot for him he simulated wallpops there, the hair acting as a protection for his dome and the other boxer was most likely to break his hand or wrist. He hid him how he liked the United States. "O tectile hit. I no like stay here, mebbe one two muntts, out, I love my wife." Pand his eyes rolled heavenly. "What do you want to want to start a scrap for, in every cafe you go in?" His little eyes came together, and he held "Everybody say Siki bad man. Make fight all time. We need make light in cafe. Everybody like kiki Siki. beat Carpenter, everybody like kiki. Carpenter heat kiki Siki. beat man. Out." He snorted in disgust. "Are you going to try Harry Wills? Non, Mieu. Me no like fight all time. Later he explained that he wanted to fight someone whom he would get credit for. In other words, he said he was after big game. I asked him if he liked booze, to which he shook head, stating that it was "no good." Finding the batter a fine clean-cut man, refined and polite, I left the kitchen with a little disappointed at not being a witness to a rough house. I was quicker to believe that there had been parties where wine and other stuff was flourishing, and the only sober man in the party was Friday morning when I pulled Sikir out of bed, he had a few drinks in him. He kissed Tom Smith on the shoulder and photographed up at the Penn studio. Even then twisted nothing rough about him. K. C. Monarchs Trim Black Barons K. C. Monarchs Trim Black Barons Br. Sol. Rivers Sept. 26.—The Kansas City Monarchs made it two out of three from the Black Barons by taking the Wednesday's fray by a score of 10-6. They hit off the delivery of Curry, but sensational fielding by the visitors' infield kept the scores down in the final game. Daring baserunning and the acquisition by the team, the stability of Means to head runners off bases seemed to make the game very one-sided. It was all "Bullet" Rogan for he had the locus at his mercy at all stages of the game, letting them down with 5 scattered hits and not a score. The final score was Monday, the Black Barons took an early liking to the offerings of BALTIMORE, OCT. 5, 1923 (Protected by the Kelley Newspaper Feature Service DO YOU ER SING E SONG!

Oct. 4— Last Tuesday marked the first practice of the formidable Lincoln Lions. Specials exercise and light training featured the first day. The early practices have distinguished dummies and a thorough instruction on the fundamentals. A light scrimmage is expected Saturday. The usual slogan, "Beat Howard", was murrured here and there, but the coach changed "Beat 'em all!" and this is the real aim of the team and the student body. There was a slight rejuvenation of the old Lincoln spirit at the short but impressive rabble meeting which was held prior to create student interest. Thus far the new candidates have proved themselves to be real fighters. They are forever alert and willing to battle most assiduously for every yard. While can be used to them individual nobility has been seen in his regular position. Most of the Regulars Return With the exception of two men — "Sly" Woods and "Red" Jacques who fought most diligently for Lincon during their dead end battle with advantage,—there is much unanticipated as to line-up due to the remarkable showing of the new boys. Capt. "Whitwind" Johnson, the greatest guard-gainer in Negro College, will lead the squad from a back-field position. Ex-Capt. Coston, the veteran lineman, will don tugs in a few days. "Battleship" Carter, the dependable guard of last year, may cover the pigskull and Morgan may be fitted to guard. Jazz Byrd, the diminutive halfback who made the spectacular run against Howard, shows anxiety to respect his wife. Ccupup and Lancaster, the ends, are expected to cover the wing position with much skill. Lee, another backfield man and the Varsity punter, shows much improvement over last year, dexter, another backfield man, has the call of the Coach McClean, the swift quarterback, has not returned as yet. 45 ON SQUAD AT MOOREHOUSE By L. S. Haynes Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 4.—Forty-five men reported to Coach B. T. Harvey this week. The team has lost four letter men. The remainder of last year's squad is back with the exception of the two ends, Gayles and Starr. Coach Harvey is putting the squad through strenuous practices. Most of the time is spent running back punts, kicking, and throwingresses. The Tigers have a hard schedule this year. The first game with the hard playing 24th Infantry of Camp Bennett occurred only one defeat last year and is out this year for a clean record. Capt. Charles Kelley, "Red" Williams, "Key West" Irving, and the rest of last season's first string man are showing good form. SCHEDULE October 6, 24th Infantry. October 13, Livingston at Salisbury.

The explanation is simple. Secretary Slemp knows what colored people think of his appointment and he no doubt will go to some length to counteract his past record of Negro proscription, whether on his own accord or by or- ders of the President.

The explanation is simple.

Once the proud owners of this country, these true 100 per cent Americans number now a scant three hundred thousand souls and are decreasing at a rate of about two thousand each year. No doubt Christian America will hang its head in shame when the last Indian is buried beneath the sod. * ‘The history of the Indians should cause deep think- ing in our group. When first they fought the white set- tlers in this country, and whipped them, this was called the “Indian massacre.” Then later when their brave defenses melted before white guns that,mowed down their men, women and children, we called it “battle.” ‘Thus we measure the sense of justice of our first white Americans who came to this land to escape the “persecutions” in the old country and, incidently, to drive these real Americans off the face of the earth, The American Negro has missed this fate and he might well study the reason why. : | THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM _ The State Republican platform as drawn by the Rest Republican Convention will strike the average col- red reader as a lifeless document. There is little refer- ence-to matters regarded by the rank and file as relating to their specific welfare. Even with reference to oe of the big questions that most people are thinking about this document is strangely silent. ‘As the conventional party platform, however, there is nothing harmful about it. It is plain from start to finish that the framers had in mind the practical polities oi making as many friends and as few enemies as pos- fible. The promise to erect a hospital for colored consump- tives at Henryton can only be concerned as a bait to those too ignorant to know that such a hospital has already been built and is now in operation. With the exception of its stand on police courts of the city, this also might be said of the recent Democratic platform. But the independent vote in the race, and this ‘ote is growing constantly in both volume and expression, Nill want more assurances than is set down specifically in ‘either of these documents. Some of the things they will ‘want to know, and know very definitely, are: 1. What will be done along lines of appropriations for colored State educational facilities ? ‘ 2. What will be done to equalize the distribution ‘of the mounting sum of tax money so that colored people may share justly in its benefits both as to jobs and service ‘obtained. oo ea ee What will be done to curb the sale of poisonous ‘boot-leg whiskey that pore the basis of 75 per cent of the ‘crimes among our people? on ‘4 ‘What will be done with,the Ku Klux Klan? 2... §: What will be done.about the disgrace of Chel- ‘tenhani andthe employment of a colored staff at Hen- cryton? * * tytn? nat steps Will be taken to remedy the injustice sand disgrace of barring colored people from civil service “positions solely because they are colored?, ‘ O.
