The Jewish monarch loved his spouse, but was jealous of her also, and could not bear to think of her the wife of another after his death. Choked Wife to Death Mrs. Corrine Beaurepaire, a beautiful woman of the Creole type, was found dead in her bed on the morning of December 2nd. Upon investigation and the manner in which the room where she slept was torn up indicated a death struggle. Letters were found among her effects coming from friends to whom the woman had written, indicating that she would have had to hand her life in event he could reach her. Suspicion pointed toward the guilt of the leper and as a check-up was made on his activities the officials discovered that he was not at the hospital. When questioned by the authorities at the hospital Beaurepaire finally confessed that he slipped to the home of his wife and after her refusal to accompany him to the hospital to treat the cancer he fell into a fit of anger and choked her to death. PUTS BULLET IN HEAD OF HIS "PAL" Philadelphia, Jan. 3.—Frank Miller, a 13-year-old boy, was shot in the head and instantly killed, early last night, in front of his home, 3126 Laycock avenue, by a bullet from a 38-caliber revolver in the hands of Benjamin Johnson, 15 years, of 554 South Eighty-second Street. The Miller boy was playing with a number of other youths on Laycock avenue, near Eighty-second street, when young Brown appeared from an alleyway and, pointing the revolver at the gang, said: "Now put up your hands." The children complied, and after making the boys stand, and after the revolver to "beat it," they all did so, with the exception of Frank Miller. "Go ahead, run, or I'll shoot," Brown is said to have told the boy. When he again refused, Brown killed the revolver and pulled the trigger. The other boy dropped to pay the bill in that case. An automobilist t temple. An automobile that passing took the boy to the Acecy Hospital, where physicians said that death had been instantaneous. Brown was taken to the Thirty-second district police station, where he told the police he didn't know the weapon was loaded.

Washington, D.C., Jan. 3 —Senator William H. King Democrat, of Utah, has intro- duced in the Senate a resolution asking for the withdrawal of the United States forces in Haiti.

The resolution, which we referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations, similar to the on Sonoran King introduced in the par Congress and read: "Whereas the relations between the United States and the Republic of Tahiti have assumed a condition which is unsatisfactory to the inhabitants of said countries and otherwise disadvantageous to the United States, which condition is due in large measure to the presence of the naval force of the United States in said country and the exercise of the control of the finances and revenues of said country; and "Whereas the purpose of the intervention by the United States in the political affairs of said country, the direction of their revenues and finances, and the police of the same by the United States naval forces has been accomplished, and there is no further advantage other to the United States or said country from any continued intervention in its affairs: Now, therefore, be it the "Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate of the United States that the President should withdraw the naval forces of the United States now in Haiti and should arrange an obrogation of any treaty, protocol, or other agreement providing for the control of the revenues of Haiti by the United States, or providing for the intervention of the United States in the political affairs of said country, and that it is the sense of the Senate that Haiti should be free from any external interference with its domestic policies or internal administration." 40,484 WOMEN AT WORK IN NEW YORK New York, Jan. 3—With 40,485 colored females 10 years of age and over, gainfully employed, this city ranks in first place, followed by Washington, with 25,588; Philadelphia, with 27,792; Baltimore, 26,892; New Orleans, 22,305; Chicago, 20 755; Atlanta, 16743; Memphis, 13 835; St. Louis, 13,526; Richmond 13,084; Birmingham, 12,044; and Louisville, with 11,246.

TEN ARKANSAS FARMERSHOLD OFF MOB Barricaded Themselves in House and Threaten to Kill Every White Man Who Came Within Gun Range SOLDIERS ARE CALLED OUT Men Then Surrender, When They are Promised Protection and Orderly Trial Fort Smith, Ark., Jan. 3.—Rather than give themselves up to a mob of whites bent on lynching, ten men barricaded themselves in a dwelling in the colored section and threatened to shoot any white man who came within range. The mob of whites formed to aid police in catching a colored man, alleged to have killed the wife of Robert Latimer, white, in the Catcher settlement, five miles from Van Buren, Arkansas. Indiscriminate arrests were made by members of the mob which sailed thru the colored section and open threats of lynching were made. Realizing that they faced death, the ten men hold the mob at bay until the arrival of national guards armed with machine guns. They were assured of protection, and finally agreed to accompany the troops to Van Buren early tonight on charges of night riding. Quiet prevailed in the little community early tonight, and Captain Kayer said his troops would return to their station at Ozark. No further trouble is feared, the officer said. A score or more of colored people were hurried to the Van Buren fall, so no feared a serious clash between the two forces. Early reports from the Catcher settlement were that all colored residents of the community were being driven out by a mob and their homes burned. Grand Jury Probes Murder. Judge James A. Cochrane, of the Circuit Court, has called a special grand jury to investigate the killing of Mrs. Latimer. The jury will meet in Van Buren, Wednesday. Spurgeon Ruck.

Lost night, Ruck and Bettis, who were taken to Van Buren yesterday afternoon, were spirted away when a mob of several hundred men formed and threatened to storm the jail last night. It is understood here tonight that the men were enroute to the State penitentiary at Little Rock. Following the disbanding of the mob here, everything appeared quiet in the two counties until today, when trouble was reported brewing in the Catcher settlement, where the firefighters were the main source. McRae got into telephone communication with Captain Knaver, at Ozark, and ordered him to proceed to Catcher immediately with a small detachment of guardmen.

McGuinn threw down a challenge to the City Real Estate Board which is fostering the agitation to give the Zoning Board authority to Negroes in certain sections of the city. Judge Heuclier of the Supreme Bench of Baltimore started the fireworks when he expressed the opinion that if the Zoning Law, restricting factories, stores, gurages and other business places to certain neighborhoods is constitutional, a segregation law restricting Negroes and whites to certain neighborhoods is likewise constitutent. The Judge had just acted unfavorably upon the appeal of Daniel Goldman, who else wished to open a store establishment in the 1500 block of Park avenue and was denied such permission by the Zoning Board. Judge Heuclier is reported to have declared then: "The Zoning law, is based on the city's right to exercise police powers for the protection of the morals, health and welfare of the city." Judgo "Now, to my mind, there is no reason why the term 'welfare' should not be extended to prevent the depredation of property values, whether it be by the invasion of a commercial house or structure in a residential neighborhood or whether it is by the invasion of a Negro or Chinaman in a white neighborhood." "This, to my mind, is an application of the same principle by which it would be unjust, after a man had built a $25,000 home in a neighborhood, for another man to build a $2,900 home next door or across the street." McGuinn's Statement Mr. McGuinn gave the AFRO today, the following statement: Several times, during the past week, I have been asked what would be the effect of Judge Heusler's dictum upon segregation in Baltimore City. I have urged all who have made the inquiry not to become excited or only alarmed. Perhaps a few reasons for the advice given may be "judge Heusler's opinion, at best, what we term in law, or mere obiter dictum—that is, he was deciding a matter which, upon the record, was not before him. The single issue before him was the constitutionality of the Zoning Ordinance and whether the business which the philistiff posed to conduct on his premises was inhibited by that ordinance. Judge Heusler's Ruling The learned judge sustained the constitutionality of the ordinance as a valid exercise of the police power of the State. In thus ruling, his decision affirms the conclusions reached by courts of the highest authority. The authority of a State or State agency to pass laws in the exercise of the police power, having for the object the public health, unity and welfare is universally recognized. But when he states, if correctly reported, that zones can be created, in the discretion of the Zoning Board, into which white people could not move, that which colored people could not move, he extends the doctrine of the police power of a state to appoint where the Supreme Court of the United States has said in the plainsest and most positive language that it is repugnant to the Fourteenth Amendment and therefore vows (Buchanan vs. Waries, 245 U.

PALACE Happy Go Lucky Batons of the Palace Theatre and work will be treated to a big band show, under the title of "Happy the Lucky." In addition to a first rate burlesque show there will be a Whitfield Four, the greatest quartet of colored dancers ever seen in this city, and Delmar's Fighting Jambes. The Whitfield Four are talented dancers who do all the latest steps and post a little more. They keycues is sweed and they move so smoothly across the stage that they delight. Delmar's Fighting Lions is, without doubt, the best wild animal act ever seen on a Baltimore stage. Captain Delmar, who captured the wild birds in the African jungles, actually lights with them in a steel eye, erected on the Palace Theatre stage. Kesloe Brothers are the comedians of "Happy Go Lucky." They will be remembered for their work with the big "Jeek-A-Doo" show several seasons ago.

Couples contemplating marriage or desire to ditch their applications for this honor should send in their names and addresses at once to the manager of the theatre. Review STAR Gibson's Revue Manager Berger, of the Star, seceded a bull's-eye when he selected Gibson's Revue Company as the image attraction at the house for New Year's week. For Monday evening they were packed in clear out to the sidewalk and turning them away. The company is well known to East Baltimore theatrgoers, having played the Star a number of times. The company were there to witness the performance of Baby Corrine, the gifted little singer and dancer, who is featured with the company, and the antics of Baby Albert, the three-year-old tote who always brings to house by his efforts in "tiring." The Gibson kids are not the whole show, however, which consists of a melange of song and dance, during which Gibson does an old parish impersonation that is clever, and Arthur and Arthur, the man better known as "Grenshopper" puts over some themed lyrics, the company are Madame Gibson who heads the feminine contingent, Albert Dillon, who does some clever back and wing dancing, Clifton Jones, straight, Berta Scott, Pearl Diggs and Gendale Arthur. Pictures complete the bill "Black and White" At The Gayety Local theatre-goers will have an opportunity to be entertained by a father novel feature bill at the Gayley Theatre next week when Manager Les Sponsler will give a feature entitled, "Black and White." The show will be in two acts, the first with the title of "The Merry Rouabes," which is a white burlesque show featuring Sebastien, Mickey Markwood and others, while the second act will be Tutt and Macy's way known earlier, with the more Macie Markwood in Macy's de Forest and a big Bronze Beauty Chorus. There have been frequent white shows with colored acts, as well as colored shows with white acts, but Manager Sponsler sets a precedent by giving the public two complete shows, one white and one colored, a program, and will need little doubt but will need with the heavy approval of the theatre-going public. GAYETY "Dinah" So well received was "Dimb," the new frying Milton show, by Glaytay Sponsor held in over for a second week, and the show is repeating the same big hit that it made last week. "bimah," while not as elaborate as "Liz," its predecessor from the Miller pen, and backing the two stars, Grebe and Drayton, does not suffer in comparison as in fact this engagement and in fact has been declared by many an even better show. All the stars of "Liza," except Greenlee and Drayton, have been returned, and all are given more to do in the new show. The show is in two sets and ten scenes and there is a plot which has to do with the building of a new dance hall, and the stealing of the money which the show has to return for which Liza has until her twenty-first birthday, by her newplay. During the unfolding of the plot many specialties are given and a number of comical scenes are enacted, among the most comical boeing the attempt of Miller as Sambo Smith, to renew a childhood acquaintance with Dianah, who has returned from New York a leading theatrical star. This scene is extremely humorous as the show results from Bill Lily's result from behind a house. The scene of the haunted house and the boxing scene were also well in the running as long-getters. The company is putting over the show with more vim than it did last week, and dainty Margaret Simms, in her songs and refined dancing numbers, Gertrude Saunders in her comic songs, and the Silvertoe Four, all scored heavily Monday evening before the show. The team of laughing posts on Miller, Mills and Joe Dye Green, all working under work and they comprise a pair of comics that would be hard to match. A large, well-trained and numerically costumed choirs is one of the features of the show and every member of it can dance. Special mention must be made of the black dancing of May Ernest, the eccentric dancing of Will A. Cook, the sensational neoballistic dancer, Young Chip, whose music is permitted from the program and the exceptional silver tenor voice singing of Cecilia Rivers. The show is well worth seeing. DOUGLASS Joe Shettell's Revue Manager Cress Simmons inaugurated his return as resident manager of the Donglass last Monday by running up the curtain on what as all-round bill, surpasses anything seen at that house this season. The bill is comprised of three vaudeville specialties, and Joe Sheffell's Revue the latter company. The vaudeville acts are World and Towel, the gifted male vocal harpists, Holland and Trent, man and woman duo and Lovejoy at a Graze, the former under cork. Holland and Trent opened with the usual singing, dancing and talking skin but they offered some new chatter. Holland put over some exceedingly clever hoofing and Miss Trent took three operas on Backbuckling Fire, and the other two World and Towel followed with their fine vocal harmony which has become familiar to local theatregoers, and who it seems have no equal: on the small time, again scored, winning a salvo of applause. Lovey and Grace filled third spot and made it bulge by reason of some original comedy antics of Lovey's who under work, was sporting a pair of white-rimmed spectacles, but more so by the sensitive splits dancing of Grace and Rance which is featuring Ubley's boy William's凑惨 principally of a number of specialties.

Miss Cato, who has a very good coloratura soprano voice, received applause that won her a bow and an encore for her rendition of "Dear Old Southland." Her sotto voice singing in this number was exceedingly delightful. Wilbur Holton put over some original steps in the hoofing line that "pitched," and Bob Strut Lee, who screamed the male strut, he originated the male strut that has become so popular with chorus men recently, took a heavy hand for his demonstration. The Smarter Set Company Whitney and Tutt's Smarter Set Company scored so heavily with the audiences at the Regent last week that the management decided to hold them over as the New Year's attraction. The company is comprised of the leading players here recently in "North Aint' South." The vehicle which being offered this season is based on versions of the latter play, with some new business that adds to the entertaining value of the abbreviated show. Chief among this new business is some really clever carved jumping by George McLennon, the chairman king, who seems to have no end to his accomplishments. Another scene 'from the late "North Aint' South" show, which went over with somewhat more appreciation than on its former presentation, was the death scene from "Othello" played by Tutt Whitney and Madal Forest as Desdemona. More comical than the acting of either Whitney or Miss DeForest, was the side-splitting antics of McClemon in providing the music for the acting, he playing all sorts of instruments, from the piano to a life and a harmonica. The big screen came, however, when the band man and having been cautioned particularly to have the dugger ready for Othello to stab himself, he could not bore it and the mole Moor had to shoot During the progress of the show a number of specialties and songs are offered chief among which were the singing of "Love Joe Don't Mean Nobody No Good," which literally stopped the show. Alma Daniels also sang and danced cleverly. the last act J. Horme but turned north from the wings in an outfit worth portending a splendor that would have made Beau Brunnel look like a rag man. A chorus composed of eight or ten comedy hoppers enliven things when the comics are off stage. New York, Jun. 5—(K. N. F.

Manager Simmons says, that the real grievance was between Messrs John T. Gibson, theatrical magnate of Philadelphia and Banker E. C. Brown of the same city who is behind the Douglass. According to Mr. Simmons, Mr. Gibson wanted Mr. Brown to sign a check for the guarantee, which was $2000 because of a personal difference that exists between the.

He was to have come to Tampa for Christmas with me, and I was to meet the petition — to wait for me there — just a bit to show our personal interest in the matter." Opposition Increasing With the overwhelming success of the campaign, opposition of Texas as whites to the release of the 54 ex-members of the 24th Infantry is in progress. A. G. P. made public today the text of a resolution passed on December 15 by the Winfield Brown Post of the American London, Paris, Texas, in which "protest was registered against the prison. Negro colonies consisted of participation in the huston mutiny." The net result of this opposition by white Texans has resulted in a greater determination on the part of colored and white P. P. men announced after a study of the petition's already received, for many Southern cities have worked hard and successfully to secure signatures though many P. P. men have opposed the Kiu Klux Klan and other lawless organizations. Men Not Murderers Warden Biddle of Leavenworth prison wrote the N. A. A. C. P. last week about the 24th men in his prison—"I find them splendid prisoners and worthy of all the help you and other friends can give—I do not believe them to be either criminals or murderers."

TRIBUTE BY COOLIDGE TO OUR PROGRESS Letter Read in Harlem Church Says Race Has Right to Feel Proud New York, Jan. 3.—"The marvelous progress which the colored race in America has made since it achieved liberty" brought the congratulations of President Coolidge in a letter read Sunday at an Emancipation Day celebration in the Salem Methodist Episcopal Church, No. 92 West in the area addressed to Cleveland G. Allen of the Harlem Home News, read: "This occasion is a most appropriate one for a survey of the marvelous progress which the colored race has achieved historically very brief time since it achieved liberty. It has been said often, but it is so true that it is worth repeating many more times that there is no historic record of such accomplishment, a race of such period." "Measured by their material achievement in the acquisition of professional experience in education and equipment for the full duties of citizenship, or by their participation in the great task of building and developing a part, the colored people of the United States have made a record which they may well regard with profound satisfaction and the feeling that Letters were also read from Chief Justice Taft Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt, and from Emperor William II, the Miller, of Howard University. THE AFRO-AMERICAN SOUTH'S BIGGEST AND BEST WEEKLY BALTIMORE, IAN. 4, 1924 Call VErnon 6017 BACKS "VIRGIN BIRTH" --- Comprehend Infinite Chicago, HI, Jan. 3, 1879. The Associated Negro Press)—Rev. Rev. John B. Redmond, minister of St. Mark Methodist Episcopal Church, Chicago is being urged to continue his fight for more just representation in the business organization of the church. At the General Conference held in Des Moines, 12, 190, Dr. Redmond was one of the progressive leaders for recognition. He, with Dr. W. W. Larsen, and others, insisted on practical "show down" with the result that two were elected. In an exclusive interview for The Associated Negro Press, Dr. Redmond declared that the church no longer represents that should be accorded the more than 300,000 colored members of the denomination. Dr. Redmond also favors another area and another colored bishop, and he will be played before the General Conference, to be held in Springfield, Mass, in May. On the "modernist" ideas now creating world wide interest by discussing his clips to the fundamental beliefs of the Christian church, and proceeds to back his beliefs with arguments that merit serious consideration. Not many years ago we would have wondered about automobiles, electric lights, telegraph, sub-marines, airplanes and radio. Today we accept them as a matter of pride and honor of the finite mind. The ways of God are great understanding. 'PIGTOWN' NEEDS HELP SAYS PASTOR "It is a common thing to see a crap game, gun fights, and a patrol wagon loaded up with colored men and a dog," he said. "I go to church," said Harvam Smith, a theological student of Howard University, who has started a Baptist Mission at 1410 Ward Street. He said he would not before the Baptist Union Monday at Union Baptist Church. When asked by an AFRO reporter concerning this, he stated that these were real two Sundays when I was on my way to church. I saw a patrol wagon drive up and take so many people that it was forced to make the secrecy of the church public to see so many women and children. He also said that he needs the being taken to the station house," assistance of the other churches of the city, he said. "I Christianize this section of Baltimore. This happens, he said particularly in the section south of Columbia avenue, around Harvard or better known as "Pigtown." Dr. Gaines Speaker Rev. A. L. Galnes, pastor of Trinity Church, was the delegate representative of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity which held its annual conference in St Louis. He was also the main speaker at the public meeting on Sun. IN THESE CASES MODERNISTS SAY BIBLE IS WRONG IN THESE CASES MODERNISTS SAY BIBLE IS WRONG Here is what the modernist minister believes, according to one of them, is an intelligence and a personality, but not in human form and bodyless. He reveals himself in all nature, but is spirit and apart from matter. He has no nearly guts, harps or hosannas. Hell has no fire. The Devil was an intention of the Zorcusian. Prayer will never put out a goal of bodylessness but makes boxes of unseen human being intervenes. Immorality will not be in the heart. Personality will not be in the mind. Prayer will be no resurrection of the body. Belief in the virgin birth is not essential The miracles of the Old Testament are myths. Those of the New Testament were interpolated, Magic is not becoming to the charm of the Devil. The phrase "incursion into heaven" was written in the creeed by a man who thought heaven was the upstairs of a flat earth. So say that it is still believed in ridicules. The young people of St. Katharine's are re-inforcing their efforts to pay for the plan previously pursued in the program of the League chased. On Sunday, January 13, will be in charge of Miss Hermine Wharton, Prof. O'Connell of Morgan College, will make the principle address. ANNUAL CHRISTMAS TREAT.

The Maryland Line Chapter D. A. R., will hold a RUMMAGE SALE At Eutaw Street and St. Mary's Thursday, Jan. 10, 1924 FOR ONE DAY ONLY FLORIDA LEADS STATES IN LYNCHINGS Tuskegee, Ala., Jan. 3. There were 28 persons lynched in 1922. This is 28 less than the number 74 for the victims of the lynchings were taken from the hands of the law, 7 from jails and 6 from officers of the law outside of jails. These are figures of Tuskegee Institute Department of Records and Records of which Monroe Work in director. We also find that there were 48 instances in which officers of the law prevented lynchings. Four women, 3 white and 1 colored. Six of these prevention were in Northern states and 40 in Southern states. In 137 of the cases the prisoners were removed or the guards augmented or other persons armed force was used to repel the would-be lynchers. In 8 instances during the year persons charged with being connected with lynching mobs were brought to the courts 25 persons than to the pententary. Only 2 were sent to the pententary. Of the 28 persons lynched in 1923, 26 were Negroes and 2 were white; two of the former were women, seven or one-fourth of the former were men, charged with rage and attempted rape; one of the victims was burned to death; one was put to death and then the body was burned. The charge against the one burned to death was murder. The offenses charged against the offenders in indictment in strike depreciations, 1: being taken as a Negro. 1. The offenses charged against the Negroes were: murder; 3: murderous assault; 2: rape; 4: embezzlement; 3: assault on the 2nd rounding officer of the law; 2: no charge reported; 3: assisting man charged with rape to escape; 1: resisting search seeking for man charged with rape; 1: catte stealing; 1: trying to get away with his place; 1: insulting woman; 1: peeping in window, 1: striking man in alteration, 1.

SEGREGATION ILLEGAL SAYS MCGUINN 4(Continued from Page 1, Column 8) **Police Power of the State** The principle of the police power of a state is evolved from the maxim sic uterre alium non bidas—"so use your own that another you may not injure." But Dreyfus, the case embodied above said: "It is firmly established that the police power, broad as it is, cannot justify the passage of a law or ordinance which runs to the limitation of the supreme law of the land. And after reviewing the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment, the purposes intended to be accomplished are remedied says of the Sergregation Ordinance of Louisville, Ky., we think this attempt to prevent the allotment of property to a person of color was not properly preceded by the police powers of a state. In this opinion of the learned associate justice, speaking for the Supreme Court, it was determined that property is something more than assets. It includes the right to require, use and dispose of it and these incidents or attributes, the law will protect." Holden vs. Hardy, 169 U. S. 366. The innocence and apparent faultiness of ordinance will not avail; as was said in Yick Wv. vs. Hopkins, 118 U. S. 366. The Court will look through the language to the facts, consider the pose and effect of the ordinance and deal with it accordingly. Segregation Measure A news item in the evening, News of December 21st stated that our Court of Appeals declined defense invalid, on a technology. That is true and it is also true that they affirmed, in that case, the principals of segregation as a valid exercise of the power of the state to hire a burgess (state vs. Gurry, 121 Md. 534) was decided in 1912, four years before the decision by the U. S. Supreme Court in the case Buchanan vs. Warley for segregation, by law, was struck down. Subsequently our Court of Appeals, following the Buchanan decision and the decision of Judge John C. Coleman, issued proceedings in the case of Dr. W. T. Coleman in the U. S. District Court, decided, in the case of the State vs. Thomas S. Jackson (132 Md. 311), that the Suggerent City was in contravention of the Federal Constitution and void. Can Not Draft Legal Ordinance The writer stated to Attorney General Ritchie, City Solicitor Field and Deputy State's Attorney Marchant in his argument before Judge Rose in the Coleman case that their marvellous legal arguments, but that they would never be able to draft a segregation ordinance, based upon color, apparent or concealed, that would not be repugnant to the Constitution of the United States. That is his position today. An Old and New Year offering will be lifted at Allen A. M. F. Church on Sunday, January 13. Each contributor is expected to attend each of the workshops in the last minute of the old year and the same for the first one in the new year. Rex R. E.

We had one conversion in our early service Christmas Sunday, and we joined. The children's exercises were wonderful. We had a lovely crowd, and we kissed the Sunday-school children we gave a treat of he cream and cakes. The missionary society and the church in general have contributed literally to the poor of this community. The Old Folk's Home, and $22 to the Foreign Mission Board, has begun and we have many souls bowed. The church is thoroughly revived under the guidance of Rev. J. W. Jones, our pastor. M. M. E.

Washington, D. C., Jan. 3.—The year 1923 was politically eventful for the Negro, and an inventory would show that he regained some of his best prestige in the Republican party and won greater respect from the Democratic party in the North. Chief Events The principal events of national political importance to Negroes, which occurred in 1923, were as follows: The migration of hundreds of thousands of Negroes from southern states, in which they were disfranchised, to northern, eastern and western states, in which they are the full privileges of citizenship. The growing spirit of independence among colored voters in the voting states, in which they are on all colored personnel at the United States hospital for disabled Negro veterans at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. The action of the Republican National Committee residing in Washington would representation in national conventions to congressional districts in southern states; and would have been tantamount to acquiescence in the South's disfranchisement of the Lesser Events There were also a number of events of lesser importance. Prime among these may be the appointment of C. Hasson Shep of Virginia as the secretary to President John F. Kennedy, who was held in office as a member of Congress he had voted against the Dyer anti-lynching bill. He had been prominent in the "fly-white" movement in the Republican party. But since he has been a member of the Democratic attitude toward Negroes has been all that could be asked. There were two recess appointments of colored Republicans to offices, which require confirmation by Senate. Some of the candidates to be compiler of customs at New Orleans, La., and Charles W. Anderson to be collector of internal revenue for the third district of New York. The nominations of both men were later sent to the Senate and Mr. Anderson has been confirmed. From the standpoint of the services, he is bearded, there was no timer appointed made more than that of John H. Brown, chief clerk at large, Hallway Mail Service, with offices in the Post Office Department. He was assigned the task of booking after the interests of the thousands of colored men employed in the railway industry. The death of Phil H. Brown was a distinct loss. He was a national figure in politics, and his sudden death ended the services of one of the most brilliant men in public life. The vacancy in the Labor Department caused by his death has not yet been filled. Still Pending The new year finds many things brought over for accomplishment from the old. The question of a complete colored staff at the veterans' hospital has been fully settled. The Veterans' Bureau is still press-fooling on this. The three commanding officers are white men. Colored physicians and dentists have not been given the living quarters within the district, discrimination and rank discrimination are practiced. Just before the old year expired, the Congress met. Three bills were introduced. One is to create an intercommission. Another is to prohibit the jurisdiction of every State the equal protection of the laws, and to punish the crime of lynching. It is commonly known as the Dyer anti-lynching bill. The third is to prohibit Negroes within the District of Columbia. It would also prohibit residence within the District of Columbia of "such Congresses and Negroes as intermarginal without the District." It was introduced by Carraway, Democrat, of Arkansas.

MAD. 6006 TICKET SCANDAL CLOSES THEATRE "The Love Game" Baltimore Musical Comedy Fails to Show in Washington Theatre HOUSE PACKED 1ST NIGHT When Receipts Are Only $800; Manager Order Door Closed By MORRIS BROWN Washington, D. C., Jan. 2.—The local engagement of "The Love Game," an amateur production of Baltimore, Md., which was to have been the midnight attraction at the Lincoln Theater on New Year's eve, was canceled as a result of the unsatisfactory manner in which the box office receipts were handled at the last midnight show at this theater. "Rosetime," a musical revue in two acts, featuring Miss Gertie Weils, was presented at the Lincoln Theater at midnight on Christmas eve. The theater—perhaps the largest and finest for colored people exchanged in the United States—was filled to capacity. Long before the curtain went up, standing room was being sold. The show itself went over with a bang. But when time came for checking up, anticipated receipts fell far short. The total receipts amounted to $1,000,000, the expenses of the production took up $100,000, and there was nothing left for the producers, Miss Wells, Carroll Royd and Louis N. Brown. They charged that the receipts should have been far in excess of that amount and demanded a full accounting from Charles E. Lane, Jr. the manager of the production. L. Lane, who is in the employ of the theater and assisted in staging the revue, and Hilbert L. Roizier, their business manager. According to Mr. Lane, the seating capacity of the Lincoln is 1,550, the standing room is limited to 200. Tickets were sold at $1.00, 85 and 55 cents. After no satisfactory agreement could be reached, Miss Wells and Mr. Boyd took the matter up with the executive officers of the Cramblin Theater Company, which owns the Lincoln. The officers of this company, after hearing the complaint of Miss Wells and Mr. Boyd, decided that no more midnight shows should be staged at the Lincoln Theater, and there was nothing else for Mr. Lane to do but cancel the engagement of the Baltimore company. BIG BROTHERS HOLD OPEN HOUSE 200 Guests Join in Get-Together Confab; Other Community House Activities munity House Activities More than 200 guests and interested persons took part in the open house entertainment, arranged by officials of the Big Brothers for New Year's day.

Excusing the words sixth and annual there are possibly many people who would be absolutely in the dark as to what I am talking about. When the sixth annual is inserted all of us at least know that it, whatever it is, comes off every year and has been so doing for the last six years. But for the benefit of those folk who have been more associated with hard work than they have been with schools, colleges and universities. make a teeble attempt at explaining the proposition with the simplest words the subject will bare. Starting with Sorority in order that the last may be heard, the alphabet simply means a sisterhood. That is to say a number of women bonded together to help each other and others. The Alpha Kappa Alpha part signifies with the Greek language to the extent they should at least know the alphabet though this does not need Many new type apartments, designed to accommodate small families with moderate incomes, are here. A Greek house in Northwest Baltimore, J. Howard Payne, who himself is a graduate of promoting several new projects in particular Northwest Baltimore. As an '65' the rest of ample of this new type of structure to the Sora Mr. Payne pointed out the new enough to apartment which he and a number of his friends will appreciate. There is a brand still unquestionable the Y Alpha Kai M. C. A. This apartment will re-place the old unsightly building year, about around which the light was ranged last six year to establish a motion picture theatre. When completed with it, this building will represent an investment of total around $75,000, and will contain 12 many wide modern apartments for small and buying large families at moderate prices. Many new type departments, do essentially follow. Route stands for signed to accommodate small family a legislative body. Thus we have lies with moderate incomes, are be a Greek Letter Sisterhood Legislation planned according to Attorneys for Northern California Legislation for some body. In this promoting several new projects in particular case they legislate for Northwest Baltimore. As an 64% rest of the people who belong ample of this new type of structure to the Sorority who were not lucky Mr. Payne pointed out the new enough to have their car-fare paid essarily follow. Boute stands for a legislative body. Thus we have a Greek Letter Sisterhood Legislative body. This body is responsible for stamping an unrefused particular case they legislate for the rest of the people who belong to the Security who were not lucky enough to have their car-fare paid to the boute. There are many chapters of the Alpha Kappa Alpha scattered over the country and cared for their classmates time for the last six years they have been delegating persons to represent them at the National gathering of the body. This particular year the National body met in Baltimore and many wires were pulled and jobs were carried on just as jobs done on the other side of there social functions and likewise but I will take them up after however. Now some food will ask, why do they have to have a convention every year? Would it not be better for them to invest that money in silk stockings or in fur coats? You do not understand the motive of this organization. You have the wrong impression. A. K. A. Is a Salvation Army You have been mis-informed as to the relative worth of this organization. I would go even further. I would expoll the good works of this body which is ordinarily looked upon by the man in the street as a high brown association. It has its merits and does good work. It carries out a fine of work similar to the Salvation Army, but the Salvation Army they say, "A man may be down but he is never out," in the Sorority they don't say anything simply saw wood. The Salvation Army caters to empty stomachs, empty pockets, empty heads and empty souls. The Sorority caters to those in search of learning, who have not the means to pursue that which they desire, yet it is similar to the Salvation Army in that they give scholarships to worthy students and in other ways try to make study popular. The Lack of Escorts As I have mentioned before, the Alpha Kappa Alpha met in Baltimore this year to lay further plans for the relief of those in intellectual want. From what I have been able to tell, one of the countries is at least safe for another year, though I predict it will be a long time before this same Sorority meets again in Baltimore. As I understand it, it was up to the local chapter to entertain and care for the visiting delegates, but from what has leaked through there is a general "squawk" upon who ever made the arrangements, the girls are not to attend to their business satisfactorily, or that there were no many insurgents in the boule, to the contrary everything ran as smoothly as could be expected. The kick was on the entertainment. The ladies claim good food, good music and good treatment means not only that they are in fact they have been quite severe on the local committee. Some of the delegates claim it was premeditated. They can forgive most anything but that dance on Friday night for which the local committee did not supply Not Native Baltimoreans Personally I feel very badly about the matter, especially because this is my home town and State and has always had a reputation for the gallantry of the men as well as for its hostility, and the fact that there is likely an excuse. The committee that handled the affair, while supposed to be a local committee, was really an allen committee. None of them are native Baltimoreans or Marylanders, so we refused to take the blame on the ground that we were mis-represented. In the second place, it is being whispered around that the committee insisted on the gottlemen being men or college degrees, when they knew there were not enough of this particular type to go around. They should have remembered that most any kind of a man beats a blank all to pieces. However, when the Alpha Kappa Alpha holds for the most part, they do better, even though the Sorority idea is still new business with the general public. BIG BUILDING BOOM DUE Baltimore Realty Men See Bigger Building Program During Next Year Small, Convenient Apartments Will Replace Many Old Structures That 1924 will see a large city-wide building boom for homes and apartments for colored people is the belief of a number of really men in Baltimore. Already contracts have been signed for a large number of new apartment houses in various sections of the city, and it is known that many holders of lots in suburban development projects, including such sections as Morgan and Wilson Parks contemplate the erection of residences this year. New Type Apartment Over across the street from this new building the Ideal Building and Loan Association has in successful operation a six apartment structure of the same type, and the Success Building and Loan Association, in which the Federal Building and Loan Association, which was organized by Mr. Payne among post-office employees, are planning early developments along the same line. The Homemakers Building Association is also planning a new development. Co-operative Successes A feature of the new spirit in building development is the utilization of the co-operative principle in community building. While this principle may be applied to any kind of business or apartment complexes, the application of the community home building. According to Mr. Payne, with the local easy money market and the big finance companies eager to find places for investments, it is a simple matter for any group of men to organize with a moderate co-operative investment company to build homes. The plan also promotes thrift and raises the status of the race financially. Wilford W. Allen, another large dealer in reality, also feels that 1924 will be a record-breaking year in the acquisition of homes. Carlos Cortes, a real estate department of Attorney Wm C. Metard, sees an increase in the need of rental properties at moderate prices. Unlike many of the large cities where cents have been kept in the bank, the real estate last year, Baltimore has escaped excessive gorging. There have been isolated cases of extortion by white property holders, particularly among the dews andItalian priests, at all prices, already higher than they should be, have not increased. Suburban Development It was pointed out by a number of the real estate men that the needed expansion would require some suburban development. Wilson and Morgan Parks are high-class developments and to these should be added several outlying outbuildings convenient to car or railway lines where they gain gables for the constantly increasing wage earning groups can be built. Several so-called schemes along this line, notably the Aladdin Company and the James S. Williams project, blew up into smoke and they locked the honest and race-prohibited background. Hand-some fortunes await the group that develops successful sections along this line. No Segregation Feared Recent talk of a new segregation law has not put much scare into reality men. But it was pointed at by several of the men that the time had come for the colored people to present a more united front not only for fighting discrimination of all races but to unite their dollars in the constructive development of the race. A more active and cooperative business organization: the establishment of a city-wide central organization composed of representatives of all races and a more vigorous organization of practical operative business groups for practical development were some of the steps really men say will stimulate the proper local development. Danced Year Out Stering's New Hall Year dance given at Rainbow Hall, Pennsylvania avenue, near Premont street. New York's night, was well attended. Music was furnished by the National Jazz Band. There were many pretty costumes worn by some of the musicians, and some wore black satin trimmed in black fur. Miss Henrietta Bountain wore a very unique costume of brown crepe, made up in old Spanish style with red turban. PROFESSOR FUDGE SAYS: Broadway Comes To Baltimore doctor ordered. It consisted of pretty girls and clever men who danced and sang well, not to mention the musician comedian who performed to the great delight of the audience. All in all, I can find no fault with it, in fact it is a "knock out." It is easily the best thing turned loose on the Baltimore public in the memory of the oldest inhabitant. The one amusing feature of the whole thing was how the audience applauded. The applause was intended to bring forth an amusement but they had their own misapped. That is the way an appre is bad in theater, a unrest hall or a Sunrise entertainment, but with success it is different. If there be anyone in the audience who is especially exhilarated by the strains of music or by the clever dancing and feels that they would like to have more, the thing to do is to send the American Eagle after an encore. The American Eagle stamped upon a silver dollar is solden refused, not only where a venerable, but the world over in all lines of business and endeavor. One giver of paper marked "Our God we trust," with the official stamp of the United States therapy, means more to entertaining than thirty-five thousand in all classes. Dinah's Costumes Dinah is with us. Dinah is playing at the Gayery Theatre, and upon the opening night it blocked up the traffic on Baltimore street, for at least an hour. It appears to be going over with a wind. There is no kick on the magazine. However, so far as Dinah itself is concerned I failed not to expose Liza in the first act. It appears Liza and Dinah in the beginning are twin sisters, only Dinah has been well haundered. For the second act I must kick in, they have undoubtedly the sweetest costumes on I have ever seen in a theatre. The fact is: they simply gorgeous, amphitheater and extravagant. - Really something to behold. You can't beat them even if they are playing in a bucklesque STAYLOR JAILS TWO IN TRAFFIC COURT STAYLOR JAILS TWO IN TRAFFIC COURT Charged with operating automobiles while under the influence of whiskey.

Had Pedagogical Mind A capable educator, his superiors relied upon him to assist in shaping many policies of local schools. Superintendent Van Siekle often declared that Dr. Waring and Dr. West, then Assistant Superintendent, were the only two pedagogical minds among his assistants. So active was Dr. Waring in the Baltimore school system that Mr. Hooper, of the school board, declared that "Waring was superintendent and Van Siekle his assistant." Dr. Waring not only plapped the course of study for local schools, but under his direction, special courses in drawing, cooking, sewing, carpentry, and painting, were established at centers under colored teachers. He was given complete charge of elementary and higher schools including supervision, employment and promotion of teachers. Son of Union Officer During the debate over the question of accepting a history text book which referred to the civil war as war of rebellion, Dr. Henry West, now head of local schools, voted no, "Remember," said Dr. West, "that I am a son of a confederate officer." "I vote yes" rejoined Dr. Waring, immediately after he said so, a Union officer." Supp. Van Siegle dismissed the conference and the text books were adopted. He was active in civic matters. After leaving the system here, he went back to Washington to practice and engage in welfare work. He was educational secretary in Camp Devons during the world war and succeeded to the principalship of the Downington (Pa.) Industrial School on the death of Rev. William A. Credit.

Fitzgerald Suggested For Delegate at Large, Another tc be Named Altho the meeting of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland next spring is several months off, politicians in the city have already begun to make their state. The nineteen members of the Maryland delegation will consist of three delegates from each of the four congressional districts, and seven delegates at large. Four years ago only two colored Republicans, Vanessa Cummings, Congressman and Jacqueline Hawkins, of Prince Georges County were named by the state convention as delegates. This year local colored Republicans will urge that since Negroes constitute 20 per cent of the party strength in the state, they be given 20 per cent representation on the state delegation. They will also delegate from each congressional district and two colored delegates at large. Lawson Duffin, executive of the 14th Ward Republican Club, is being spoken of as candidate for delegate from his district, and Wm. L. Fitzgerald as the favorite for delegate at large. Lewis H. Davenport is another who is spoken of as a likely candidate for district delegate. If the county has a number of the colored delegates it then help the counties to put that a similar program for three delegates.

READY. Visitors to the Gayetty Theatre during the past two weeks, where "Dinah," the new living Miller show has been drawing large crowds daily, and who have been enjoying the delightful singing and ministry of Miss Gertrude Saunders, do not know that higher education once made a bid for her talent. The school was Brendel College in Columbia, S. C. years ago, and Miss Saunders was only seventeen when the decision was made that spied, forever, a possible prim and prudish schoobermart and gave to the world a gifted comedienne to help make a people laugh. Left Benedict College Campus She was in her fourth year and thrust her stay at the school had been the idol of her fellow-students by reason of her ever-similar comtence and good nature and her "natural born" talent of humor that kept her forever doing comical things at the most inappropriate time that would cause tee-hee's and snickers that often brought stem ponalties. Her fellow-students, sensing her superior gift, often urged her to take up stage work and they held a stage bee began to hatch in her bounced with the result that during the first flush of dawn one morning a pretty little brown-skinned maid scurried across the Bonnetie campus dragging an old value. 11 was Gertrude-Saunders, bound for the stage and Broadway. Jeined Billy King Co. Her first engagement was with the Lilly King Company. She remained with this company for sometime and then appeared with other companies. During this time her talent as a singing comedienne was being recognized whenever she was given special song numbers and she soon had the leading booking agents commenting on her work. Her success was noted by Messrs. Kissel, Hill and Lyles and she was engaged for the original "Shuffle Along" show, preceding Floence Mills as the feminine star. Miss Saunders says her comedic singing really had the blaze. Broadwayways "sitting up," for they had never seen a colored female performer do that kind of thing before. With her head tursed by success and with no responsible person with the theoretical knowledge to guide her, Miss Saunders was turned away from the Shunt show by Turing and Sean with whom she offers to join a burlesque company. This culture soon blew cold and she took to vaudeville, doing a singing speciality on the Keith, Loew and other circuits until she received the engagement to appear with the "Liza" show. Those who see Miss Saunders on the stage, have no idea what a delightful performer is, she possesses a comedy woman and is just building over with good humor and the love of virtue. She meets you as though you are one of her old friends and is ever ready to pull a come quip. Wanted Sue Prof. Fudge Miss Saunders, after giving us such a charming display of her graciousness, showed that she also cared that a mazy old boy when accused The incident that revealed this fact was the victorious flipping that Prof Funke took in reference to a gown that she wore in the "Liza" show, stating among other things that it was dirty and the cleaners who waited for the lawyer who happens to be one of the leading head berristes, was out of town, saved the estate of the Prof, to his future heirs and assigns. Miss Saunders' defense is that the dress is of a color that the spot-light gave the dingy appearance. That Miss Saunders made a wise choice when she deserted Beneficiet College for the stage, the ladies doubledless for the most part will agree when it is noted that her wraps this winter are an Eastern Mink cove the cost $2,900 and the final cost $1,900. In addition to this she owns an (agree) ponder in which she finds her chief recreation in driving when not working. "Steady fellows!" She is not married. Miss Saunders was in Asheville, N. C., where her mother and four brothers still live. Her father is a member of the old family she once since he was a boy, she having seen him only once. He is too old for active service, she says, but conducts a sort of commissary for the soldiers. Uses Teddy's. "Big Stick" Washington, D.

The Page happened seventh avenue in company with Joe Sheffell, the big art owner, and our attention was arrested by a group of about ten little white children who seemed to range from four to seven years of age. They were doing the "charleston," and I mean were Doing it. Doing it so well that when the Judge, Jr., missed along a bit later, the gang were approaching pedestrians with hands filled with pennies that they wished to exchange for coins of a larger denomination. They were Greeks, Hebrews and Italians, all residents of a colored district, and they made a perfect illustration of the influence of environment—and our last dance property is Cone, of at least on its way.

JOYZONE Red Tonic COME ALONG MANDY AT LAFAYETTE New Show Presented by Mittenthal Brothers Not Up to the Modern Colored Shows Gifted Little Ingenue Scores Heavily in Featured Song, By J. A. Jackson arry and Aubrey Mittenbaal presented "Come Along Mandy," their first colored attraction, at the Lafayette Theatre in New York for Christmas week. It opened "cold" after about six weeks' rehearsal under Frank Montgomery's direction. Despite the fact that they have spent good money on the show, and the fact that they have some excellent people in the cast, the show will be no creditable addition to the commercial producers have carried for themselves. The final mistake is that they thought that the book for a colored show could be written by one without knowledge of the original production. It itm becoming the entertainment worth the scale that prevails at the Lafayette. The show was beheaded with some very high class special paper; Frank Montgomery has created some nice dance numbers, and some really pretty ensemble effects. The show has been beautiful, dozen beautiful drapes and two sets of scenery that are works of art, and there are some very catchy medibands, four of which are likely to, and one "dead sure" to become popular hits. The cast is a most meritorious one, and the chorus, while not especially beautiful, is a group of singing youngsters who theownness wears off will acquaint the viewers in a most creditable fashion. But, it is all wasted, for they have little to work with, and what little there is is repulsive to the family audience that support colored musical comedy. Every bit of billing bears the engrossed announcement of the show, and lyrics. So do the programs. Well, he is entitled to say such glory. None will ever him. The story is weak; there is no original thought and the substitution of another in the house of "Mr. Jackson, owner of Eaglano Island" as his wife, is a bit of dither stuff that would not be tolerated in organized burlesque. For good comedies as are Mason and Henderson can make nothing of the lines and situations that have been provided for them. The first spontaneous laughter came late in the show from some interpolated vaudeville stuff that Elmar Battle and Joe Henderson stuck in to kill some time in "True". Mason and Henderson imagery in cooties may more logical stories with better comedy. The bright spot of the evening, however, is Joan Stare, whom Frank Montgomery first introduced in 1962. He then the promise she held forth has been confirmed. She is a genuine juggernome of the highest caliber. The way she puts over "Come Along Mandy," the title song, is an artistic achievement. She is another girl who may look forward to a future filled with promise. Sam Gray, who took the lead on short notice, did well under the circumstances, but Sam is a singer, not actor of enough ability to make something out of the book he had to work with the book. "Bob and Mandy," "Where Are The Fails of Yesterday," "I Love Every Bit of My Sweetie," and this opening chorus, "Joyful Holiday," are the numbers that were most applauded. The show was provided with sixteen song numbers, of which program gave no indication of who they were, many of them. It did, however, tell carefully just who wrote each of them. Fred, Tunstall, one Decosta and Charles Bowman, with Mr. Lamb, are the honored names. The more singers did not seem to count much. The show was presented in two nets and ten scenes. Charles A.

Address THE AFRO-AMERICAN Holbrook Blinn, Famous Stage Actor, Has Role of Mexican in Picture Coming to Roosevelt Patrons of the Roosevelt have a treat in store next Wednesday and Thursday, when "The Bad Man," a comedy drama which has been proclaimed by the leading critics throughout the country as one of the finest pictures ever produced, will be shown. Holbrook Blinn, one of the leading actors of the speaking stage has the title role, that of Pancho Lopez, a Mexican handit, and it is said his work is superb. The story tells of Gibbon Lates, lieutenant of the A. E. F., who unable to pay off the $10,000 mortgage on his Arizona ranch, is packing up to leave. He feels an additional pang at leaving because Mr. and Mrs. Pell of New York are at the wash and Mrs. Pell wants to be the girl he loves in the dress before the war and bows her married Pell. Gibbon bought the ranch and stocked it with cattle with his and his invalid Henry's money. Tancho Lopez had brought them to this condition by stealing the cattle and driving it across the border. While Gilbert is taking a last look about the place, Tancho makes friends with him, not knowing who he is, and tells him of Gilbert's plight. In the meantime Lopez's men capture Gilbert and bring him before the benefit. Lopez recognizes Gilbert as the man who had saved his life three years before and orders everyone released. Then he begins to deliver the lives of the ranch. He finds that Gilbert loves Mrs. Poll and orders one of his men to shoot Poll to get him out of the way. Poelo, the man ordered to shoot, fires and Poll falls. The arrival of the rangers causes Lopez and his gang to beat a busty retreat. Poll is only wounded. Water and when he gives it to him he accidentally slips Gilbert's foot from the latter's 'poister' and says he intends to kill him. Mrs. Poll throws herself in front of Gilbert. Poll is about to pull the trigger when there comes the report of a pistol behind him and he topples over dead. Lopez walks in. The wily handler and the rangers to go chasing his double. While doing so, Lopez to town, robbed the bank and then an attorney, paid off the mortgage on the ranch and promises to bring back all the carcels. SARAH MARTIN IN SHREVEPORT, LA Star Theatre, Shreveport, La.—With a show under canvas, the Alabama Minstrels and Clark's Minstrels combined for five days, and the "Stylish Steppers" in another house fifteen blocks away, Sarah Martin headed a vaudeville bill here this week that drew big. The Orchestra drew a band on the overture with which the program began. For a couple Niles opened the bill with a conortion act, bowed, and registered as a 90 per cent act, something rare for a novice. His twists and turns make his offering unusual. Lee and Wright, man and woman, were next. They too scored a ninety, and the lady earned a bow, and the lady took two for her singing. The act ran twelve satisfac- Butter Beans and Susie, the man under work, did a S. D. & T. act simply ran away with the house and took six bows. They are an unmistakably entertaining pair, and if he would eliminate that suggestive part of his masterpiece, one-third of the gallery, he would find him and for the big card they worked 19 minutes on applause earned 55 per cent. Without the suggestiveness, it would have been a clean hundred. Sarah Martin, the recorded "blues" singer, with Henry Cullen at the piano, and Wm. J. Myers demonstrating her records on the phonograph, was the honor not of the bill. Myers injected comedy with his hard-earned expressions used in case how records are called. Cullen does a piano number while Miss Martin makes a change of costume. She sang "For the Ladies Only," "Laughing, Crying Blues," and one other number. Her net was injured by the fact that Butterbeans and Susie preceding her used "blues" numbers very effectively, and therefore took the edge off of her work. She scored a 50 on this account. The clemness of her offering gave her the honors. JAMES H. DENNIS The Old Reliable Cut Rate Undertaker 1303 Presstman Street BALTIMORE, MD.

When he returned ten minutes later the Senator was reading a newspaper he had ANS. — THOUSANDS, INCLUDING YOUNG GIRLS, SEE BLACK BURNED ALIVE AT STAKE IN PUBLIC SQUARE." "That such a thing should be possible in a country which more than any other on earth proclaims its civilization," said Dixon. "Can the most savage South Sea tribe equal in barbarity the infamous lynching record of this Republic with its vast number of churches, colleges, and schools? When before in the history of the human race, bought in the lunch-room. He called Dixon's attention to an account of a lynching; and asked him what he thought about it. Taking the paper Dixon read: "NEGRO BURNED BY MOB OF CHEERING TEX-from its darkest moment until now, has there been another country where a citizen could be dismembered, burnt alive, and every other form of atrocity which fiendish ingenuity can devise be inflicted upon him simply because he refuses to get off a sidewalk or gives a saucy word to another? Even the shocking crime of rape, which is falsely alleged as being the incentive for these outbursts of ferocity, offers not the slightest excuse. Rape is as old as the human race, respect like the English or French it exists in all cities and among And God only knows when we will every race on earth. If white men After a hundred and thirty-eight were being born alive for this years of self-government all that crime how many, think you, would we have is that optimistic drive be burned in America daily? We about the land of the free and the have had so much lynching, and with so much acquiescence that it has become a recognized American crime have just read it is one of our outdoor sports. The conscience of the nation is mundum, that is if it ever had any conscience at all. How we shudder at the horrific of the power used to burn Christians alive! Yet we let pass almost unimagined the four wives—accent of grushes. "Four wives." Well, that mightn't be so bad, but four mothers-in-law. After conversing for some time in this vein the Senator returned to the original conversation. "What did you say about racial distinctions?" he asked. "When I spoke I had in mind this particular incident. Between Etiwaa, Texas and the street railway, Negroes on the American side are compelled to ride jimcrow. As soon as they reach the Mexican side they are compelled to part of that car they wish. Now if the equality of treatment of citizens is the test of the degree of the civilization they are in, the Mexican new-era civilization than the Southern States, and the United States in general, the whole system of racial distinctions, one that would be a white man in Indiana or Oregon, according to the jim-crow law in those States, would be a Negro in Keeneland, a white in Keneland, a ninth or more Negro blood makes a Negro; others that one-sixth-one thirty-second, and so on. The question is: Just when is an American black and when is he white?" "How can one with the least reasoning ability call this mixture of almost every human variety under the name Alhambra, a Kruzan is a Negro, how can a man fifteen parts Caucasian and one part Negro be a Negro? What would our brilliant instance, a man half Indian and half Mongolian? But I do not intend to attack at the cell. Far too much energy is already spent by beginners, so to another name would be to make a change in treatment. These remind me of the Eskimos, who believe that a man's real living lies in his name. The value of names in bankbooks. The term Anglo-Saxon was once a term of reproach, and so was Christian, Quaker and Samaritan. It is not the name, but the man himself that counts. If the Negro is Negro it will become an innumerable one. "Well, so is the word Jew a synonym for cheiciness in business. Throughout Europe the term American Jew is used by bad manners. So far as I am concerned, I would very much prefer to be known by my national patronymy as I would be were I a Jew. I would not be known by any other part of the New World, except the United States." "But you must have some name to distinguish the race by. What you call it, then, if not Negro?" "May I point out this fact about the word race? The total of mankind is not Jewish. How can any part of that then constitute a race? The term ought clearly to be sub-race or human variety. The term race as we use it is not Jewish. How can unfathomable psychological difference—in a word, President Harding's antiquated doctrine of eternal inescapable differences? I remember a constant country lad and believed that there was some mysterious difference between a man who could be Jewish and a man well remember when I came to know Chinese, Japanese and others how surprised I was to find out that they were just as much human as I was; how quickly they responded to "All right," smiled the Senator, "what term would you use to indicate that human variety or variety of the Negro here in this country." Columbia, Pa., Jan. 2.—Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester Waters entertained a number of young people at their home on Monday, December 1.—Mr. and Mrs. Waters nioss. Miss Lloyd Robinson, of Washington, D.

It exists in all climates and among every race on earth. If white men were being burned alive for this crime how many, think you, would be burned in America daily? We have had so much lynching, and so much murder, and we have become a recognized American institution. Indeed, from what I have just read it is one of our outdoor sports. The conscience of the pagan who, two thousand years ago, used to burn Christians alive. Yet we have burned Christians by burning of Christians by Christians today in our own mud. The Roman pagan used to have a holiday and took from afar to see Christians of Georgia, Texas, Illinois and Minnesota are doing or have done the same thing. Let it be a vicious mule that was burnt alive; how Christians of Georgia, Texas, Illinois and Minnesota would hew then? And the better element acquires in these atrocities for the murders are barely with pictures taken by the murders themselves, and circulated far and wide, the officers of the so-called law and it impossible for a jury returns the stereotyped verdict, death ' parties unknown.' "The dire cause of lyneling is the enter of the presumed better class to the ignoble spirit in the low classes here in America. Why do, the supposed better classes enter, the lower classes? Why don't our legislators stop it? Why do our presidents with the power of the army and navy behind them is it because they don't know it is wrong? Well, kill a songbird, or catch a fish out of reason, in short, do anything they don't want you to do, and see if they wouldn't stop you if they had to call out the entire army and navy. No lyneling isn't stopped because the majority of our lawmakers and rulers for the past fifty years have been and are a part of that system of exploitation that would suffer were lyneling stopped. The lyneler is but the tool of this system. Every man, be he savenger or president, who upholds this theory of color, inferiority is an aider and abetion of lyneling in the same manner that every rivulet and raindrop helps to swell the river. Lyneling is but the culmination of this de-trine of the superiority of un-aligned skin and lossy hair." "And very often these victims are absolutely innocent. Of the tens of thousands of Negroes lynched in riots and in crimes the vast majority committed no crime whatever. The mob is usually never satisfied with one victim. Like the Australian bushman of the old days or the barbarous Jew in the days of the Holocaust, the family of an offender, American whites usually hold all Negroes to blame for the fruit of one. Just so long as lynching continues we will be impostors when we point to the Mexican, for example, which abolished race distinction as early as 1824, and thus is a far more civilized phase than the "Southern States. Recently the Chessfields are, nothing else than common murderers, cowardly to the core. These sadists would be tolerated in no other country except the United States and Asiaie Turkey.

Prices for the Best and Neatest Answer. Capt. Watts and his son, James have been found shot dead, the father in the chest and the son in the back. In each case death took place at once. A gun fired within five yards of a man will blacken his clothes and skin around the bullethole, but there will be no such mark if he is shot from further away. The two bodies were found in the middle of a large hall which he used as a ride range. The two were only found on the sanded floor; a third man standing on the bare pavement just outside the door or window could aim at any part of the hall, but would be at least fifteen yards away from the spot where the bodies were found. Under Capt. Watts's body there was found a gun; there was no weapon near James's body. The cots of three were blackened around the bulletholes. Capt. Watts was devised to his son and it is imputed to think that he killed him deliberately, even in self-defense. But some think that he secretly disliked his father and hoped to inherit his fortune at his death. Draw circles round the two sentences which show how Capt. Watts and his son each died: 1—Capt. Watts was killed accidentally. Capt. Watts was killed accidentally. Watts was killed himself. 4—James was killed purposefully. 5—James was killed accidentally. 6—James killed himself. How Many Coins?

"Oh yes, not many," applauded the child "but I don't know how to draw it." "Well, what is it you want?" asked the teacher. "I want to be married," said the child. EDITH C. MATTHEWS, 1729 Pressman St. My little girl, age 5 years, white she was at the dinner table, asked for a cup of tea. "No sweet baby, you have had tea once." She replied, "No I didn't; I had brown water." PORT DEPOSIT, MD. A "Spicy" Story Mother told this little story to her girls, and one of them never forgot it. She is called the best cook in the family. "Two cousins married working men and lived on either side of mother. The men worked in a factory and carried their children, Jenny and Sally, but Sally's husband was pate and groomy. I thought, mother told us, there was a reason for that difference, and there was. It was just this, Jennie knew how to cook well, and Sally knew how to cook." I wish you could have lunch in the two pies. In Jones, Sally's husband was cold biscuit, and a wedge of meat, pork or beef, and a wedge of pie. The same thing every day of his life. In Bob's, there were dainty sand-wiches and lots of them, of bread cut thin and the meat, or fish, or hard-boiled eggs, seasoned with salt, pepper and mustard. In those mays we have or large leaves, but denim leather used parsley instead. For sweetes, she gave him a piece of her good spice cake, and with it, a covered glass of apple-sauce. They both had apple trees in the backyard, but because it was too cool to cook it, Jemma with the aid of spices, used every apple, making mincemeat, sause, pickles and preserves, to say nothing of jelly. Sometimes there was a cup of custard, golden brown, with deeper spots of blood. often Bob's favorite food is pudding with the bait he upon it. Pickle- shaw, tomatoes or chow- shaw, were sidelight left out. Oh. it was no wonder Bob went whistling to and from work. "It is said, 'Variety is the spice of life,' but I say, 'Spice is the variety of life,' when it comes toooking. There is nothing to take its place, and I want you to remember it. It is possible to be made palatable: a plain custard, steamed or baked, with a dash of nutmeg, is fit dessert for a king. Plain bread dough can be transformed into a near cake by the addition of sugar and spices; paprika and thyme; and the addition of potato sauce mustard on meats, fish and baked beans; all these aid digestion, because they make the food so palatable that your mouth literally 'waters', which means it supplies you with a proper amount of saliva. It always kept a small apple, with winnelows pressed into it, in her cakebox, and oh, how good it smelled when she opened it! She said it kept the cake moist, I want you to learn to use spices, and maybe, your future husband with resemble Jennie's man, instead. This little story often comes to my mind, when I hear women say, "Oh, I just hate to put up bunches! or, nothing tastes good these days!" or, "We can't use our apples, they are so tasteless." That is the reason I am telling you mother's "sorry story." What Do You Think True Love Is? Love is the insane desire of man to become a woman's meal ticket. M. J. WILLIAMS Love is a disease most people catch every time they are exposed. ANNA WIT Real love in its various phases is the grindest, most wonderful thing in the world. It makes the worthless strive for betterment, the vicious intent, the reckless subdued it chases despondency, it is an incentive to the weak. In fact, it covers all and makes life worth while.

One night he washed his feet and then very slowly led and threw himself into a fountain of water. Still absent-minded, he ran to the window and jumped out! -Aurora- Discontented Wives Can anyone see why men forget their wives need money after marriage as well as before. My husband never refuses me when I ask him for money, but why, oh why do I always have to ask?

Write Jake Editor, AFRO-AMERICAN. $1 PRIZE WINNER "A young minister was expostulating with a landlord who had raised the poor parishioner's rent over a hundred per cent. "If I want to hear you preach," said the landlord angrily, "I'll come to church where you should do your preaching." If you were where you should be," retorted the young minister, "you would say that privilege next Sunday. I'm going to preach at the postilitary." AUDREY WASHINGTON, Phila., Pa. A young man was having a lot of trouble in getting on the right train to bring him home. After three hours four unsuccessful attempts, he finally got on the right one. Sitting down, he began to swear. A minister seated next to him sait: "Young man, stop your swearing. Don't you know you are on the way to Hell." "Wrong train again," said the young man and made his exit. Two young men out motoring in a Ford stopped at a soda fountain for refreshments. One ordered a milk shake, upon which the other wisely suggested, "might as well make that a plain milk, Jim, the car will do the rest." LILLIAN PAGE. 1819 McCulloh ST. I had some friends to call around to see me one night but week. A certain friend said: "Go out in this kitchen and get us something to eat, you don't suppose we all came up here to play cards all night, and then don't feed us." I think he was rather tight across the chest, because they were my embarrassing moments. DILLAN PAGE, 1619 McCulloh St. One day two men were seeing who could tell the largest joke. The first man says, "I bet I can tell the biggest joke." The second says, "I bet you can't Well I have it." "Where I came from it is so cold that if you talk to any one you would have to take the words in the house to warm them to get any understanding out of them." "That isn't nothing. Where I came from it is so hot that we have to feed the beans with cracked ice to keep them from having hard boiled eggs." GEO. BARNES, 1951 Penna, Ave. Once there was an Irishman who went away and wrote his girl this letter as follows: I will receive this letter, write and let me know." Poultry Woman My stock of 166 Barred Plymouth lock hens is housed in a sheep barn where they have plenty of litter, mainly straw. Their morning feed consists of a light feed of wheat, hay, bran, and oats—cooked rabbit—at moon and corn in the evening. All the food is given warm. They have warm sensor milk in the morning and at moon, and dry bran, sand, oyster shells and grit are by them all the time. In the fall I bury all surplus cabbage and hang up the heads for them to pick at. During cold, industry wheat is put in the barn. Sixy sheep are kept in this barn with the hens, the roosters for hens being built along one side. I got four dozen eggs every day last winter.—Ralph M. Smith. An Indoor Window Box The small expense and the little effort required for a beautiful window box make it possible for every home-loving woman to have one. Window boxes can be kept charming for a whole season by filling them with hardy begonias and ferns, Primrose, the Chinese or common variety, and Irish ivies make a window box with a delightful color note.

Embarrassing Moment WHAT WAS YOURS? I had attended a military sale and bought a hat for the ridiculously small amount of 98 cents. Considering my purchase a rare bargain and a real beauty, as well, I decided to wear it home and have my old one sent out. I noticed people store at me as they thought it was conceived enough so imagine they were admiring my new hat. On the street car, on my way home, all eyes seemed to be centered on me and I thought some of them were laughing at me—with out a cause, was scared to see. I thought the mirror to see if I could figure out the reason for such staring. I saw hangings from my bargain hat a large yellow tag marked "98 cents." Since then I have not been such a BARGAIN HUNTER. Saturday night, while going up the street looking for my friend, I thought I saw him, and whistled to a boy I thought to be him, and I ran to the boy and said, "I have been looking for you; where, Earl, have you been?" The boy turned around and said, "This is not Earl," and I was very much embarrassed, Miss Agnes Owens, Port Deposit.

AKRO-AMERICAN CRANBERRY PUDDING This is a delicious cold weather desert, and just now granberries are exceptionally good. Use 2/3 cups hours, 1 small cup milk, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 cups cranberries, 2 eggs, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt. Sift the dry ingredients, separate the eggs, heat the yolks until creamy and add them to the milk, and stir in the dry ingredients. In a large bowl, mug them in the bowl, flour them slightly and stir into the batter, then toon in the stiffly beaten egg whites. Steam the pudding for 2 hours or bake 1/2 hour. Serve it with snowflake sauce made of 1 tablespoon of butter, 1 tablespoon flour, 5 teaspoon salt, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup boiling water. Turn the butter to a cream, add flour mixed with water, boil it both with salt, boil it 5 minutes, when cool add the butter and flavoring. When ready serve, beat the sauce with an egg beater until frothy. Grease and Labor Saver I have found when I use my skillet two meals in succession and there is a small amount of grease in it after the first meal, it is a "grease and labor saver" if I do not wash the skillet the first time. If I leave the grease in the skillet after the first using and cook something else in it the next meal, I need wash the skillet out of sides. I save the grease I do not do this after frying meats or fish. LENA BAKER To Search for 'Wicked City It may be necessary to search under the dead Sea to locate the sites of Sodom and Gomorrah, according to the Rep. Melvin G. Kyle St. Louis, who will head a scientific expedition to Palestine. The party will search for the exact identities of the "cities of the plain" which also include Zeor, Adman and Zebub. According to the Biblical account, Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed by fire and brimstone because of the wickedness of their inhabitants and Arabian tradition says the pillar of salt into which Lot's wife was turned still stands. Dr. Kyle, who also is a professor of Biblical archaeology, expresses the opinion that the date, 1822 B.C., for the destruction of the two cities lies between the sites of the two cities are under the shallow part if the dead Sea, which has no outlet, and in which no fish can live. If the doctor wants to find a wicked city he might be saved a long journey and a lot of expense by buying a ticket to Baltimore. Page Tested Beauty Hints My mother's skin is of unusually fine texture for an old lady. In her younger days she bathed her face and neck with sweet milk, preferably just warm from the animal heat, either whole or separated. The sweet milk acts as a tonic to the skin. It is a cleanser, softener and whitener. It is well to use it twice a day, letting it dry on the face at night, and in the morning washing with water. Occasionally give the skin a bath with soft water and a good soap, but little will be needed. Sweet milk is superior to butter milk for the complexion, as butter milk is harsh to some people's skin.

And I'm happy to think he is still my lover even after many years of married life spent happily together.—Dell Wouldn't I marry my wife again? Prepare yourself for a shock, dear readers. I do not think I would. The reason is I can not afford her. And, because I firmly believe I am only one of a legion of young husbands who are in the same boat, I write this with the hope that it may help some young couple to keep off the rocks. My salary is $195 a month and my wife thinks I am parsimonious when I try to curb her extravagance. She wants everything about the house to be just as fine as in the homes of her parents and their friends—people whose wealth is due to 25 or more years of hard work and saving. Last winter nothing would do but she must have a fur coat like one of her friends. Because I simply could not buy it for her I was forced undergone the humiliation of having the humiliating present with one. He techs so sorry for her don't you know! He is a bachelor.

Meanwhile I have but one shirt to my name that has all the buttons on it down the front, and every time the laundry is a day late, I have to buy a new pair of socks. Don't think I am baffled, spoiled my wife, as many another young fellow married before we married bought candy and flowers all out of proportion to my finances, a diamond that looked like a young headlight, and so on. One of the first things I bought her after we were married was an expensive music machine, for which I and to pay on the everlasting installment plan. Now I am keeping the reward of my own foodiness. My day in time, everything will come out all right. I hope so. Other young men I would advise, don't marry until you can afford o and then see that you get a wife willing to live within your means.

Howard University Football team is the intercollegiate football champion for 1923. There is no doubt about this in the minds of anyone who will look over the record for this year. Wilberforce, Hampton, Morehouse. St. Paul, were downed by the Washington boys whose G-1 tie with Lincoln is the only game not won this season. Interestingly, football belongs to an association or football league in which she won three games and lost none. Union winning five association games and losing none was awarded the association championship. Here are the records of the two colleges: HOWARD UNION A. and T. 0 6. St. Paul, 0 M. Monkton 0 7.

I agree with the C. H. A. in mentioning as champion of the Association in the collective championship. We have played more games than C Neu; we played harder games and have not lost any and Union tied three while we only tied The public is wondering how it is that Howard played all season and Union get the championship, columns of the papers are the only source of information for the general public. The members of my team are greatly surprised because a mention made by the record team. We have won the collegiate championship and we are asking you through the columns of your paper to inform me. We (Howard) are the collegiate champions and we request as much mention as the C. I. L. A. champions.

J. C. FOENEGHY. TWO BOXING BOUTS WITHIN FOUR DAYS PLANNED FOP WILLS New York, Jan. 2—Harry Wills is likely to be booked for two bouts today. The proposed matches are with Barrett Madden on January 28th, at Newark, and with Jack Taylor on January 21st, at Hartford. According to Paddy Mullins, manager of the "bronzed panther," he is confident the meeting with Jack Dempsey for the world's heavyweight title is assured, and with William to fight himself into the best of shape for the important contest. "I know there is some talk," said Mullins, "which would lead one to believe that the word has been passed down the heavyweight title, much for the heavyweight title between a white and colored boxer will not be permitted in this State. There are several prospective sites where the bout can be put on in other States, but I can say that it looks as though New York will be William McCormack has advised me that as soon as I can procure a promoter we will get action. And I have reason to believe it will be favorable to the holding of the contract. The promoter will be produced next summer and Kearns has given me his promise that he will sign for Dempsey so soon as he has some assurance that it will be safe to go ahead. In the meanwhile Wills is open to meet any one, and we have already hired Barry Madden as guarded in giving a chance to beat Wills, and if the inducements are satisfactory we will sign for the meeting at Newark. Negotiations have been practically closed for the match with Taylor, Omnath heavyweight, and Jack Renault wants action a few days later he will be accommodated. Call VErnon 6016 Tut Jackson, heavyweight, is steadily going back. He lost to Wills and the 1980 champion Jamaica Kid in 12 rounds in Zanesville, Ohio. Tut weighted 180 and Jamaica 176. Tarley Madden, white, heavyweight is rarin to go. He includes Harry Wills, Jack Renault and Tommy Gibbons in his challenge. Apparently he is the only white man alive willing a tumb in the roped arena with Wills. Jack Taylor, who recently got the best of Battling Sidi in Philadelphia is going rather fast in signing to meet Harry Wills at Hartford, Conn., Armand Sim Langford and weights 180 pounds. He wants action and will undoubtedly get it. Battling Sidi drew a fine Monday when he appeared in Weehawken Police court in answer to the charge of being tipup and giving away dollar bills. His case was postponed from Monday when he failed to appear to answer charges. Joe Wolcott, the old walterweight, who used to fight anybody in sight no matter what his weight, shot a man with a 45 Colt, when the latter paid him $10,000. A decade ago Wolcott would have used his facts and accomplished the same purpose. Paddy Mullins, manager of Wills, says he has enough bouts to last the winter and when the open season comes, Tammey will no longer be able to dodge his dog. Ski can get a bout most any time, anywhere and with anybody, providing his manage and keeping his fighter. Ski can a second rater. However, a black forehair has more opportunities than a black native. Look at Luque, the Cuban and champion National League pitcher. Young Jeff Clark, lightweight, will meet Young Danny Edwards at the 2013 World Championship January 7. Edwards recently knocked out Andy Williams in one round. Larry Estridge, coming champion midweek, got the decision over Frank Corroneio, Italian, in New York Saturday night. He is at the center of a super-petrifying style of fighting that is elusive. The bout went 12 rounds. Jack Taylor, who recently battled Skii, has been matched to fight Tat Jackson in Columbus, on January 7. MICHIGAN FORBIDS SIKI TO BOX THERE Boxing Official Says State Can Go Along Without Senegalese Detroit, Jan. 2.—Battling Sikh cannot fight in Michigan. Louis Piles, State Boxing Commissioner late today announced that he had ordered Grand Rapids promoters to cancel the scheduled ten-round bout, between the Senegalese and the Sikh heavierweight, which was to be held New Year's afternoon. "Sikh's past performances are such that Michigan can get along without any matches in which he is a principal," the commissioner said. "The opinion of Sikh match would not help the boxing game in the State and might injure it.

The Dundar boys defeated Harrison on the 25th by the score of 10 to 12. "Whirlwind" Johnson Led Team In Scoring Lincoln University, Chester Co. Pa., Jan. 3. (Preston News Service) —A resume of the individual scores honors during the past football season, shows that Cap ain "Whirwind" Johnson is lea ding with 82 points. Johnson, one of collegiate athlete's most unique figures, played a major role in his team's success during the season. With the headgear, and with the "hooky" 15 jersey, the back of his jersey, he was an outstand ing and oftimes marked player, but when it came to carrying the ball over the last chalk-line, "Whirwind" specialized. Ritola Leaves Earl Johnson "King" New York, Jan. 3.—Because he could not out his second citizenship and be able to play in the next Olympic games in Paris, Willie Ritola, white, distance runner, has gone back home to Finland and is now playing in country in the bit games next spring. His departure means that Earl Johnson, former Baltimore runner, is now playing in country from 5 to 20 miles and Earth should easily win a place on the U. S. team. Ritola is the only runner in country in a race in the next three years.

If we could have a parade of the light heavyweight fighters down Druid Hill ayenue, Kid Norfolk, of East Baltimore, would lead the marchers. At present his only recognized title is colored light-heavyweight champion, and holder of the Rickard belt. If the white boys in Norfolk's class would forget the color line long enough to climb thru the ropes with the "Keed", not a single one of them would last ten rounds. Here is the batch of them: GENE TUNNEY, white, who at present claims the American title is what James Corbett calls an "in-and-outer." Tunney once upon a time had a punch. Then he injured his hands. Without his punch, Norfolk would whale him to a frazzle, because Tunney can't think fast, and is about as clever as a bale of hay. MIKE McTIGUE, white, who claims the world title after beating Siki in a questionable fight in Dublin, came to America and fought once, with Young Stirbling, 17-year-old Georgia boy and lost. Mike cannot punch either, and the way he dodges fights indicates his lack of real fighting ability. YOUNG STRIBLING, white, is too extreme a youth to be considered of championship material. He has a lot to learn and a few more years to put on. With an old master like Kid Norfolk, he would be out and down in 3 rounds. SIKI knocked out Carpentier, the French idol, and Norfolk closed both of Siki's eyes, besides giving him a good lacing. NORFOLK has everything a champion needs, speed, cleverness, hitting power, gameness and fighting instinct. He had the nerve, the outweighted, to fight Harry Wills. He has challenged Dempsey. At fighting he is a master, a clean liver, no boaster and a credit to the sport. He may never get a chance at the world title, but everybody knows he is the CHAMPION.

(Preston News Service)—William Dismuts, manager of the Indianapolis A. B. C.S., writing in The Pittsburgh Courier, gives a bit of baseball history which is well worth reprinting. The article has to do with the origin of the B. C.S. "Dismuts writes as follows: "I as well as other players on the Indianapolis club, am often confronted with the question as to why the Indianapolis club is called "A. B. C.S." "In the late nineties, a brewing company opened business at Indianapolis to offer that club the owners' organization in a colored baseball club, which in those days was supposed to be able to play ball, and at the same time amuse the crowd by some funny sayings or antics. "This club was spent throughout the State of Indiana, and wherever scheduled to play, keys of beer were sent and served to the people game, free of charge. The name company was 'American Brewing Company,' Taking the initials we have 'A. B. C.', which was their trade mark. "After the beer was well advertised, the club was turned over to a colored card, the name as a drawing card, as the club, besides advertising the beer, had made a great record as to game won and lost. "The players who have been members of the club know the true origin of the name." TWO-CITY BALL CLUB MAY BE FORMED Pittsburg, Pa., Jan. 2, (Preston News Service)—An effort to merge the forces of Cleveland and Pittsburg into the forming of a strong semi-pro baseball club is being planned, this city according to a run-up beginning this week, those days. The deal is being engineered, a well-known sport enthusiasm, and if it goes through, it is planned that week-day games will be played around Pittsburg, while Sunday attractions will be taken over to the Ohio town. It is also planned to have a working team with the big leagues whereby league teams can be secured for big attractions. GOSH JIM, WHAT WILL THESE SCIENCE YAPS BE IDOIN NEXT?

The "Y" did not go down without a struggle. Composed of youngsters who were for the most part lacking in age and in basketball experience man for man in comparison with the "lookworms", the "Y" hads at the sound of Referee Baker's whistle starting hostilities, locked boots with their older foe in an absolutely fearless manner. Not only this, they put up a brand of play both in guarding and offensive play that had the Scholastic bulbogs standing on their cars during the first half. After drawing First blood, they trailed the Scholars in the scoring, but never by more than six or eight扣分, and the bad boy with the Scholsties leading 22-14. Down in the subterranean cavens of booker's hotel the Sebo-lastics held solemn conclave and decided they had been holding the little "Christians" too cheaply. They then agreed that they have used to crush all opponents so far in league contests. When Referee Takesi blew his whistle starting the second half, the machine at once pummed out upon the floor, and the rest was chaps for the young. He then narrowed the casting honors of the evening by rinking eleven field goals, although Wake was really the honor man, for he came in as a sub for Ward in the second half and tossed in one from outlying territory. A special word must be said for Wake, the second work of Jenkins, who did some dribbling that was really sensational. Aibor.....R. F....Westley Brown.....L.

From the start to the finish, the national champions, as to wind, tricks and passing displayed a brand of skill and sterling qualities can. Choosing the South goal, Loenl played a waiting game, in which they sought to solve the attack of the Alos. This they did by playing of Neal and Berry, the former Washington star getting only one basket. Hope, who substituted for Neal garnered 1 basket. Frazier for Neal garnered 2 points from foul line. This ended their scoring for the first half, on the other hand, Moton scored 1 and Ricks 3 goals. Sessons and Bets each earning 2 goals and 1 foul goal, 2-18. The second half began with a rush. Ricks, the star forward of Loyola, remained a picture of positivity, with a record of 7 field goals were made by him. His colleagues brought the house to its feet by their dazzling playing and the visitors were emboldened when their plays connected. Frazier and Morris returned to the game during the second half, and then scored from soaring higher, and contributed 10 points of the 17 made in this half. Bounds was well filled with enthusiastic admirers of the game, who showed by their applause of the gentleman dememorator of players on both teams. Benny Washington refereed the game, and evidently both sides, as there were no protests. ALCOS Neal ..... R. F. Berry ..... L. F. Frazier ..... C. Kenner ..... R. G. Graves ..... L. G. Cubs .....

SURGEON RESTORES JACK JOHNSON'S OLD FORM Gland Therapy Puts Former Champ Back To Shape He Was In Against Jeffries; Now Wants To Tackle Dempsey (Courser-Afro News Service) *New York, Jan. 3.* Jack Johnson today is as efficient physically as he was 12 years ago. A startling statement coming from any one—an amazing assertion even if it fell from the lips of Jack Johnson, was 12 years ago that Larry Arthur stunned theistic world by blotting out James J. Jeffries in Reno, Nev. But the words did not cascade from the famous "golden smile," neither were they uttered by one who has the slightest interest in Jack Johnson's pugilistic past, just on the contrary, they came from a distinguished surgeon of international reputation—from a specialist in that most modern science, gland therapy. They were voiced by an authority who recently operated on Jack Johnson and has had him under treatment for three months prior. O. C. Stackhouse, of York "Jack Johnson today is a better man physically than ever before in his life," said Dr. Stackhouse. "He is better than he was when he won the world's heavyweight championship. He is a finer physical specimen than he was when he defeated Jodjries." "Do you believe he could beat Jack Dempsey" your correspondent asked. "That I cannot say," was the surgeon's reply. "The opinion of a sporting writer on such a matter is probably better than mine. But I will say this—if Johnson at his best, is the master of Dempsey at his best, and the two ever meet, then Johnson will be the only heavyweight who ever came back to regain the title." "This is the story of Jack Johnson's greatest triumph, for unless Dr. Stackhouse is mistaken John Arthur Johnson is a middle-aged father. The venerable Father Time for the count. He has regained his youth, and at 45 years of age is challenging the 29-year-old champion. Couldn't Make Grade A few years ago Johnson walked from a prison cell, broke and apparently far past the age when he could hope to eke out a living as a fighter. He knew that he wasn't right. Despite his boastings he realized that he would have no chance against the younger men in their boxing place, which would tend to get into some sort of condition, but somehow he couldn't make the grade. He was in fine shape—for a man of 44—but the ring is no place for a man whose years are more than two scores. Then the former champion heard of the gland treatment. He seized the idea as a drowning man grasps a straw. He looked up Dr. Stackhouse, and after an examination the physician was convinced that he duskuck the clock for the duskuck man. "In order to understand the condition which hampered Johnson," said Dr. Stackhouse, "you must consider glands of the human body as a family. When one of them misbehaves, or is unduly excited there is urmoul and trouble in the family circle. The whole tribe of gladiators fall, because properly For instance, if you step out of my office, become involved in a quarrel and lose your temper, the in the head, are agitated.

BECKWITH SIGNS UP WITH GRAYS Pittsburgh, Pa., Jan. 3—According to an announcement from the management of the Homestead Grays, John Deckwith, star player of the American Giants of Chicago, has signed a contract to play with the local team next season. Deckwith, one of the greatest sluggers the game has ever known, and a star in every department of the team, to terms with Manager Poggy after months of dickering and finally adixed his "John Hancock" on the little dotted line. His salary, it is said, will be the highest ever offered a player for jumping the big leagues for an outlaw organization. Pittsburgh, Pa., Jan. 3. (Creston News Service—In the preliminary to the Coffey-Leondi game at Labor Temple last Thursday night, the fast stepping Saratoga team, champions for the lightweight championship of the tri-state district, defeated the Y. M. C. A. team, 49-36. pounds is a natural excess picked up when he was under Dr. Stacke, and is unable to maneuver out. He will work on every day now, and that sixteen pounds will disappear in a hurry." Watching Johnson working out in ring costume is to marvel that this man is 44 years of age. The long muscles ripple and flow into action as the former champion toys with sparing partners, whose efforts to get past his famous defense are far behind. Back in his job as Johnson boxing Jade O'Friars in Philadelphia, if he isn't the same Johnson we saw that night. "Why did I go in for the gland treatment?" said Johnson in reply to a question. "Well, I have always been interested in new things. I had to do something. Boxing is my bread and butter. I was 41 years of age, and in order to make a living I had to drop some of those years. I have done just that thing for I am just as eight now as I grew up. I used Depression or other mental illness. The only thing that suggests the years in Johnson's appearance is the prominence of two large veins, which twist over his temples. "Johnson tells me that those veins have been there all his life," explained Dr. Stackhouse. "You will notice that, though the lower part of his face is fleshy, the skin on his forehead and temples is drawn right over the bone. There is no flesh at all there to hide material. But there is no reason why it should be done, except to improve his appearance. "Incidentally, Johnson, as he is at present, will not require a long training period to get into fighting condition. In three weeks he could be ready to step into a ring and fight as well as he ever did in his life." This is the Jack Johnson of today. A rejuvenated youth of 44, he is ready to dispute the right of way with Dempsey. As he a real menace to the Mamassa Mauler, or is it that he simply books it? These are the facts and your guess is as good as any man's.

One of them was over-developed and it kept the others in a state of keep up. The result of it all was that Johnson, magnificent physical specimen though he was, was succumbing to the years. The treatment reduced the activity of that gland which was setting too fast a pace for the others, and shoulders. It must be removed, shoulders. It must be removed, however, that Jack was blessed by nature as few men are. He is as near a perfect physical specimen as I ever saw. His life could probably not be found in New York. There is no reason why a physical specimen of age should not be almost at the peak of his physical prowess. But the 100 per cent physically perfect man is mighty hard to find. Johnson is one of them. His grand disarrangement threatened to drag down that trouble has been down. His his is an absolutely perfect body. "When you talk to him now you will notice a placidity, a condition of repose indicating a flawless nervous system. But watch him when he goes into action in the ring. You will see mind and body co-ordinating as never before." A phone call to Johnson's office (yes, let's Arthur has an office and is going about the business of purifying the tongue) held in a very methodical way) was answered by one of his associates, who assured the servier that Jack would work out at Madley's gymnasium in Madison Square Garden, in the afternoon. Looks in Great Shape We were waiting for him when he and Jack MagLevy drove up in Johnson's big car. The big fellow's appearance justified the doctor's opinions. With his cap on Johnson looked like a man still in his twenties. There wasn't a sage on Johnson looking upward with his figure. He moved with the easy grace of a well-trained athlete. "Never felt better in my life," said Johnson, "not even when I defended the title against Jeffries. But let some one else tell you about how I shape up now. Here, ask Mr. MagLevy, who is connected with the title. Johnson's condition today is simply marvelous. He looks just as good in the ring as he did when he held the title. His stamina is remarkable. He steps around as fast as he ever did in his life. When Jack fought Jeffries he weighed in the neighborhood of 210. Today he weighs 226.

Edward Young Clark, Imperial Giant of the Ku Klux Klan, has called upon President Coolidge to help him put an end to the terrible monster he helped to bring into being. In a letter written recently to the President, he denounces the gang through which he was able, in past times, to garner in so many $10 initiation fees, and asks executive aid in slaying forever the organization. In this letter he says that the Klan is "brazenly and openly superceding the authority of the courts, and thus character assassination, intimidation and actual physical violence, depriving American citizens of their constitutional rights without due process of law or trial before a jury of their people."

While it is certain that there would be no tame submission to any practical law denying colored people the right to live in any section of the city where they could buy property, the raising of this once settled question by a member of the Supreme Bench of Baltimore is of more than passing significance. That an attempt should be made to read into the local zoning law any power to make segregated zones for colored and white people would be regarded as natural if backed by the K. K. K., but coming from the one source where even law abiding colored men and women have come to look as a last refuge of relief and protection, the Supreme Bench, it is beyond understanding. There are sections of the city, like Roland Park, Guilford and others, where no colored people live, and where probably, they have no desire to live; but they are not so prohibited by law. If any block in this city could be set aside by law for white people, then any section or even the entire city could. The best interest of the city, either for white or colored, does not lie in the establishing of any type of ghetto life, and every decent citizen should fight to the last dutch this effort to revive segregation in Baltimore. The EDITORIAL PAGE of THE AFRO-AMERICAN The FORUM The AFRO favors a zoning ordinance which will keep stores and garages out of residential blocks. It is opposed to all kind, and so stated to the American reporter, who failed to print the interview as given him. To the Editor: As you, the editor of the greatest paper that the colored race has ever known, and the last one that the colored people would think of to join hands with the Real-Estate Board and the white race at large, in helping put into effect a Jim Crow law, when any school child can see it is nothing but a plan simply to corral all the Negroes in a certain section of the city and you may call a BLACK BELT. I am surprised to the height of criticism on your part, for I don't think that you know what the results will be, we already have the HARLEM PARK PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION, and if this other one is passed it will make two to protect the whites and nothing to protect the colored people's rights. For we are already feeling the effects of the Corning fire they call it the "fire of the colored section is the last to have the garbage taken away, which sometimes clutters up our alleys for weeks. And in summer the streets are not kept as they should be kept and the alleys are rocking with the color of rotten refuse. Take note that this only happens in the colored sections, and to think of the law that will put us in certain parts of the city and will place us under a segregation, which will make it so that we can only purchase what few houses are left in the colored sections, and then stop, for the Real Estate Board has a better plan in view, and that is to go out in the colored houses at low prices and sell it to the colored people at top prices, calling it a colored development. Now living conditions are bad enough here in the city, but every one don't like to live in the country, for there are thousands of colored people thinking as I am, for I am against any kind of segregation law, for they only apply to the colored ones, the whites can do as they Why can't you speak up same as Asbie Hawkins or our distinguished former City Councilman, W. L. Fitzgerald, and say just where you stand. For this morning's Baltimore American has you stated as for the ordinance, for it seems as you are trying to keep both sides smiling when you said: "They have the relations of the people in Baltimore are pleased and credible. I think that its extension to include segregation would be most unfortunate." Now please don't let this letter be omitted from the forum, and please answer and tell me just why you favor the ordinance. FRANK WILLIAMS, 1231 N. Gilmore St. THE WHATNOT COLUMN THE WHATNOT COLUMN BY ROBERT P. EDWARDS. (For The Associated Negro Press.) 82. When were the first slaves landed in America? The first cargo of Negro slaves was landed at San Domingo on the island of Haiti in the year These were brought to cultivate the plantations. Slaves were brought by the Spaniards to Florida in 1565, but the first slaves brought to the colonies were landed at Jamestown, Va., in 1619, by a Dutch trading vessel, who exchanged twenty Negroes for food and supplies. 83. What reference did President Thomas Jefferson deferson to slave boys in his message of 1806? In his message to Congress at the commencement of the session in 1806, President Jefferson asked of that body the wisdom of abolishing African slave trade. The message was referred to a select committee which reported a bill to prohibit the importation of slaves into the United States. This bill, the concessions, was fought by the then eastern representatives. A long and fiery debate ensued. The act was finally passed over several amendments, imposing a fine on persons engaged in the slave trade were added. 84. When did the emancipation of slaves occur? The emancipation of slaves in all the French colonies took place in 1794 and in the English colonies in 1838 and 1839. Sweden emancipated her slaves in 1846, Denmark in 1848, Holland delivered her American colonies from slavery in 1862. The African slave trade was closed this country on the first day of January, 1862, followed by the Emancipation Proclamation, January 1st, 1863.

C., Jan. 3.—The Associated Negro Press has seen extended correspondence between President Harding and Charles Cottrill. A paragraph is here quoted from one of the last letters of the President to Cottrill after Cottrill had respectfully declared that the cause in Virginia Islands, but took possession to remind the President of a foremost understanding. President Harding wrote Cottrill: "I note your continued aspiration for permanent appointment, and I shall welcome the day as cordially as you when I can bring about the fulfillment of your aspiration.

Wherever we get a communication which begins, "Your name has been given to us as one of the prominent citizens of your community," we read just that far. There is always a coupon at the bottom. People are real greedy. Just as we read about the poultry saving the courtesy should enter into the press who wishes to make the house less crowded. The prospect will be to insist on pressure enough to try them in. Every day. In every newspaper there are stories of children run over and hurt by automobiles. In many cases the fault is with the motorists, but in many others the accidents are found to have been inevitable. A man driving a car along a street causes a child to accidentally push off the sidewalk and tries to cross the street in front of him. That is the cause of many accidents. Unfortunately, for many children the streets are the only possible playgrounds, and it is difficult—but not impossible—to keep them on the sidewalk. Parents can teach their prevent accidents by insisting on children keeping off the pavement. On the Congo, where colored men live, but where white men rule, deposits bearing billions of dollars worth of radium have been discovered. Already this discovery has effected the radium market throughout the world. But what will it mean to the uneivilized masses to whom it really belong? Some day perhaps, colored business men in America will send high-tech men to the rich photos of Africa not only as missionaries, but to garner in some of the latent wealth that lie untouched before it is all gobbled up by white nations. So much is going on these days that children are quitting school to see it.—Ed. Howe. That sounds like an Abe Martin paragraph. It has a whole sermon boiled over. Children in town don't usually advance in their books as rapidly as school children in the country, and this is probably the reason. There are so many things to keep the child excited over so many places, so many activities, that we're putting in it. The country boy, if he's lucky, may go to school half the time, or a third of the time, and when he becomes a man he goes to town and takes the place of the boy who had to go to school from the time he was six till he is grown. Hones the country boys are running the big industries, the big institutions, and holding the big political jobs. Students of world history should watch Russia. Our Secretary of State, Mr. Hughes, has just indignantly refused to allow this country to assume official relations with the Soviet government and this top following close upon it. The President message which inspired government to seek friendly relations. The real cause of Mr. Hughes' unreasonable stand against the Russian government must be looked for aside from his weak and illusory explanation that that country is threatening to overthrow the government of this country. No doubt the big news moguls, together in their shoes at the seeming success of the Russian government which in a single sweep wiped out the economic system whereby the autocrats bled the pleasant classes and instituted a government of these very peasants), are pulling the strings that control the action of the But, like Judge Ayur, he has probably reacted sharply against him and his associates. Cause Of Suspicion Protect The Children Radium On the Congo Fast Age Secretary Hughes and Russia the throne, it would seem that the throne is dominant in the work news. Records for the closing year give a total of 23 lynchings. This is an appreciable decrease over 1922. During the last decade lynchings has stood out as the greatest wrong perpetrated against colored men and women. From an international standpoint it is the great American crime. During the last lynchings have stood out prominently because they typified in definite incidents the sum total of hatred of one race for another in the South. Yet as compared with the actual effect upon the Negro race as a whole to some other of the wrongs and injustices heaped upon him, lynchings would pale into insignificance, as unwful as they are. The consequences of jim-crowson, the economic slavery and farm peonage whereby men and women are denied a living substance out of the very wealth they produce; the studied proscription, the jury against Negroes holding gay but the most mental jobs, the segregation into ghettoes where living conditions are bad, and in a much less violent lynchning. Murder is murder, and the truth is that for every one man or woman lynched a thousand innocent lives have been snuffed out immaturely because of some of these cases, but the number of those cases has been more brutal, even if more insidious, than open lynchings. It is therefore hoped that Congress will this year settle once and for all the fight against lynchings organized strength may now be directed against some of these other evils. Old Fellow Says He Will Tend Church More and Stop Drinking "Hootchd" Old Fellow Says He Will "Trend Church More and Stop Drinking "Honch" Old Timer was excitedly discussing recent events with a reporter in courthouse pavement Wednesday when the reporter came up. ```markdown ``` "Now I'm got to be pestered with you for another year," he said as he spied the reporter.

Stewart Davis calmed things a bit when he told Old Timer that the janitor referred to, had been given a job by Mayor Jackson. Seeing that he caused a commotion, Old Timer took a couple of cigars the reporter off. He slowly lighted one and two. "Boys, we must fight like Bishop Wayman, Doc H. J.

KELLY MILLER SAYS KELLY MILLER SAYS The religious controversy over the virgin birth of Christ has left the Negro Christian unmoved. His is the good old time religion. But a generation from now when the Negro church passes into the hands of the educated who have studied Darwin and evolution, it will be subjected to trials and transformation more distressing than those thru which the white church is now passing. Fundamentalists and Modernists Religious controversy fills the air. The fundamentalists and the modernists are calling each other names. All of the Protestant denominations are bereft of mistaking division over the issue. Mr. Maclean says that he would deny science before he would give up religion. Where belief and proof become incompatible, the scientifically minded will demand proof the spiritually minded will experience the blissfulness of belief without the controversy is doing untold damage to the church. The young man in college will find it hard to select the ministry as his calling at a time when destructive criticism is undermining the Rock of Ages. When men begin to discuss the validity of their effective salvation weakens. A belief that must be proved has little saving power over the hearts of men. All virile faith must be simple and sincere. Unless ye become as a little child, ye cannot enter the king's None of these things move the Negro church. The Negro Christian has that good old time religion. He has never made any intellectual inquiry into the faith of the faith but believes that the faith is as to the doctrine communicated to him. I am not now speaking of the educated, so dignified Negro, but of the great book of the membership of our great denominations. What is to be the future of the Negro church when it passes off the hands of older and less pretentious into the keeping of the generation that is now in school is a matter of deep and serious concern. But the present constituency, impersonal and uncriticism. Would not give up his little pretension of knowledge for the sure and certain faith of his mother? Old Time Religion I attended a church last Sunday made up wholly of country folk who have recently come to our great city on the wave of northern migration. The pastor came along with the congregation, but has the spiritual emotionalism of the early Methodists. His appeal to his congregation on the terms of the Gospel moves them with a power and a spell that is almost uncanny. I had not witnessed such fever, and mething of hearts sing. I had to attune to the music in the back woods of South Carolina. The pastor is genuine and sheer, modest and unassuming, and is proclaiming the word with an enunciation concerning whose genuineness he has not the slightest interest in, for higher诫业 in this circle and never will be. They will die and go to heaven with the faith which was transmitted to them from the elders. take between the unsophisticated preacher and his simple-minded hearers. I could not help but be my mind run a generation or two ahead. The children of these father and mothers are now attending the public schools. Many of them will reach the high school. Some will go to college. They will not then receive the message through the same vehicle. They will probably insist in subjecting the words of prayer to the acid test of proof. They will study Darwin and evolution. What will be the status of the church when that day arrives? The imagery, the picturesque portrayal, the pulpit acerbities, the gestures, gyrations and quirks in the church will not hold the educated mind. The existing method will doubtless last for the next half generation. Then it is to be feared that the Negro church will experience trials and transformations much more distressing than the church is now passing. In the mean time the simple faith upon which any religion must rely for its efficacy will be found in the minds of this simple folk who may preserve it during the dark ages of intellectual discussion. The principal reason foraging dissatisfaction in the probability that it might cause the simpler minded members of the church to be offended. It were certainly better that the modernists had a mill stone tied about their neck and be hurled into the sea than that they should contend with these simple-minded folk with offended worship last Sunday to offend. The Birth of Christ I have just finished re-reading the accounts of the birth of Jesus as recorded by Matthew and Luke. I read with one eye shut and one open. The eye of appreciation was open, and the eye of criticism shut. In this way one gets an enklinging of the imagination and a reverent attitude of mind that rises above the cunning of erudite criticism. I make it a rule at intervals of a year or two to read the New Testament from lid to lid. I endeavor to divest my mind of all preconceived notions and tradition of the Gospel as if it were freshly presented for the first time. I forget the learned interpretations of the theologian and the technical exegete, and read for the pure revelry of the reading. One cannot do this without visiting the task with bouncy of spirit and elevation of soul. The whole scheme is shot through with the power and spell of the babe of Bethlehem. His divinity is revealed on every page. He gives the healing balm for the sin ked soul of men and the soul of Mount contains in tabard form the Gospel of glad tidings for the saving of the world. I often wonder why we allow the mists of theological discussion to obscure the face of the Christ as the murky cloud hides the sun. Ja- sus would quickly save the world, if the world would let him. But he weeps to the breaking of his heart, because, like Jerusalem of old, the world will not let him gather it under His wings as a hen her chickens. There is little room for Him in the house of the white man's vanity and racial conceit. Will he be born again in the manger, where the poor and outcast rattle of humanity may breathe upon him, when the white man repudiates the Saviour of the world will the Negro receive Him as the power of God into salvation? I firmly believe that there is no other name under heaven whereby the Negro might be saved. If so, who will say what that name is? Is it science? Is it riches? Is it political power? None of these things possess saving power. They are good in their place, and way; but the more of these things we acquire, the more we are held in desire. If the Negro will but exemplify to the world that mind which was also in Christ, he will not only secure self salvation, but will lead the world back to the standard set up by the peasant of Gullifee. This is his superlative opportunity, with which he comes by might not yet by power, but by holding aloft the virtues of the Christ. Science and Religion These are the thoughts which run through my mind when I read of the creature modernist trying to reduce the soul deep teachings of Jesus to the formulas of science. The subtle things of the soul are not easily understood of formal knowledge. The Sermon on the Mount cannot be demonstrated like the propositions of Euclid. Let us render unto science the things that belong to science, and unto religion the things that belong to religion, and thus lies the intellect; the other satisfies the sorrows of the soul. I fear that my Christmas musings have led me to presach a lay Enclad. Let us render unto science sermon. There is no difference between modernist and fundamentalist, if the twain be baptized with the same spirit. Science and religion are but different modes of manifestations of the same psychotherapy. The things which are eternal take no account of the world. The fact that in Grammar, present fact and unchangeable truth is always expressed in the present tense. The deep seated intellectual and spiritual truths are eminiments of the same essence, both of which can triumphantly proclaim: "before Abraham was, I am." But enough of this. The Great Religious Conference The three branches of the Negro Methodist churches will hold their general conferences during the incoming year. All of them will elect a number of bishops to guide the organizations in the way of truth and righteousness. It is to be hoped that selfish ambitions and greed for power and places will not invade any of these religious bodies. The Negro bishop has the greatest opportunity of any other class of bishops. They have the organizations and the agencies for effective moral and practical guidance. Great will be our condemnation if we fail to utilize so great a means for race righteousness and uplift. The Negro Sanhedrin The Negro Sanhedrin must not miss the spiritual dynamic. No racial movement will go very fast or very far without the propulsive power of spiritual motive.
