15th Amendment Enforcement Bill In The Senate SCHOOL DENTIST FACES CHARGES Tuskegee Principal Said to Have Filed Charges Against Vice-Head of Vet's Hospital (Special to the Afro American) Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Jan. 15.—The United States hospital for disabled Negro veterans here is a hotbed of political intrigue, the object of which is the position of commanding officer now being filled by Dr. Charles M. Griffith, a white man. The central figure in the scheme, it is alleged, is Dr. J. R. A. Crossland, former technical assistant in charge of colored trainees, United States Veterans' Bureau, Washington, D.C. Playing opposite him is Major R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute. The lesser figures in the plot are Dr. Griffith, Dr. Joseph Ward, Walter Major Job, John H. of Alabama, who move succinctly at the command of one of the leading figures. Moton Asks Removal Of Dr. Crossland The story as told today is that Major Moton is demanding the removal of Dr. Crossland. In this he is aided by Dr. Griffith. Dr. Crossland, on the other hand, it is charged, has conspired to bring about the appointment of Major Johnson as successor to Dr. Griffith the understanding that Crossland would become the executive officer of the hospital. Dr. Moton says that he favors a colored head for this hospital, but he is opposed to the removal of Dr. Griffith as long as Crossland remains. The charges against Dr. Crossland are that he is inciting the community to riot; that he is conspiring for the elevation of another Crossland; that he falsely information in regard to conditions at the hospital and in the community. Crossland's Letters Are Made Public. Just what all this plotting is about can best be gained from correspondence of Dr. Crossland, copies of which have fallen into the hands of the enemy. He writes a senator as follows: "I came down here to be Executive officer. A white man from Georgia is holding my place. If he were a Northern white man he would gladly get out of the way, " he says. "I have given Hines to act without delay. I have been here over a month and ready in every way and prepared to not only take care of that office, but any other matter about the hospital. There is nothing to fear now. "You ought to be able to imagine how humiliating it is that General Hines should have me standing around waiting for more than a month to be given my position, with no place to hang my hand. I cannot continue to do this all night duty as if I were some insignificant night watchman. Please see General Hines." Anonymous Letter To Hiram Johnson But the acme of political intrigue is reached in the following anonymous communication, which it is alleged, he wrote to Senator Hiram Johnson and mailed it to a Professor R. Powell, 1828 Sixth street, Northwest, Washington, D. C. He gave him to mail this letter in Washington, D. C. It takes all of this to win, for things are not as they should be here. I am still outside of my office. See my friends and have them to help me." The anonymous letter to Senator Hiram Johnson, dated January 2, 1924, is as follows: Of Laudatory Letter "My Dear Senator: "I am dropping you this hint if you really mean to run for the nomination of President and have some support from the colored people. I would advise you to send this letter to your manager, Mr. Hitchcock and have him to see repeatedly Dr. J. R. A. Poseidon and have a delegate at large from Missouri, and who will go back again. "He was also U. S. Minister some years ago. He knows the colored ex-service men all over the U. S. Had charge of the Vocational training of the colored men in the Veterans' Bureau for three years. He is now stationed at the Tuskegee Hospital. Alabama. I understand he is very much dissatisfied. "He is the best prepared man in the colored race with friends almost in every State in the Union. He has never accepted a dollar from anyone in politics. If you could get your manager, Mr. Hitchcock, to see him, you might be able to get a following that no other man has had. He is stronger than any other man you could get. "Please not take a Band Wagoon to see him. He is very peculiar in his way, strong in his likes and dislikes. He is highly intelligent." A FRIEND OF YOURS." 32nd YEAR Number 18 THE AFRO AMERICAN VICTORY HOSPITAL OPENING AWAITS ROCKEFELLOW BOARD DECISION The opening of the new Victory Hospital on the site of the old Union Protestant Infirmary awaits the action of the John D. Rockefellow Board of New York, C. C. Fitzgerald told the AFRO-AMERICAN today. The Board endowed richly by the oil magnate for the purpose of aiding medical education has been asked to set aside an annual amount sufficient to enable the hospital to operate. Smaller appropriations are expected from the city and State. Transfer of the property on Division street from the Union Protestant Infirmary to the Victor Hospital Corporation, Judge John C. Rose, president, took place recently. The Victory Corporation paid $25,000 in cash and a mortgage of $25,000 for the balance. The new colored hospital consists of nine lots in fee, completely furnished building, private operating rooms, nurses' home, etc. The main buildings front 102 feet on Division street, and 100 feet on Mosher street. WHITE AFRICA VIRGIN ISLES FEARS RISE COMMISSION OF BLACK EN ROUTE What a road for civilization to tread! Every mile of its consecrated to the blackest barbarianism. We hear, of course, of certain economic arguments for the war to be too seriously considered. The whole conception of the project is military.

However, resulted in arrangements for a stenographer. He in the office of the Register of the Treasury, was transferred and assigned to this commission. He is the only clericist help taken along.

South African Whites Alarmed Over French Military Training of Natives 280,000 IN ARMY French Also Plan 2,000 Mile Railway to Bring Troops Out of Jungles London, England, Jan. 16. —The African World reprints a powerful leading article in the South African Cape Times on the question of "Black troops in Europe." It states: South Africa is a deeply interested spectator of the French schemes for the militarisation of the black races in the northern half of this continent. Details which have been cabled this week by our London correspondent show how tar-reaching these plans are. New Inland Railroad The enlistment and training of 280,000 colored French citizens every year has already been provided for by the New Army Bill. Now comes the announcement of the Paris Government's decision to construct (through private enterprise operating under an official consession) a great strategic railway to connect France from the Mediterranean down to the Gulf of Guinea by means of which the Black Legions of Senegal, Dahomey, the Cameroons, and the French Congo can be transported to the European theatre. If we are not much mistaken, the route to be followed is that surveyed early this year by a fleet of special caterpillar-wheeled motor-cars, whose performance inspired a national South African philosopher to conjure up foolish visions of a new track for civilization across the Dark Continent, a pathway from the Cape to Europe which would eventually replace the Cape to Cairo railway.

A year ago he refused a similar appointment from Secretary of State Hughes to go to Haiti as a special representative for the purpose of investigating Haitian economic conditions. Woodson Named Head. As a result of the retusal of Mr. Church, a reorganization of the commission took place here. George H. Woodson, deputy collector of internal revenue at Dec Molines, Iowa, was chosen as chairman; Charles E. Mitchell, of Institute, W. Va., vice chairman; Cornellus R. Richardson, of Richmond, Indiana, secretary, and W. H. C. Brown, of Newport News and Norfolk, officer. The other member of the commission, is Jefferson H. Coage, of Delaware. The Church vacancy was not filled. In the plans for this commission, no provision was made for clerical help. A conference at the Labor Department on last Friday morning, however, resulted in arrangements for a stenographer. William H. Davis, an employee in the office of the Register of the Treasury, was transferred and assigned to this commission. He is the only cleric help taken along.

PROBES GIRLS' CHARGES Pupil of School 112 Said School Dentist Made Improper Advances DENTIST ENTERS DENIAL Health Commissioner Jones Sifts Charges and Will Make Decision Health Commissioner C. Hampson Jones is sifting charges against A. D. Stone, dentist assigned to the clinic at School 112, Laurens and Calhoun streets. Charges of "improper advances" preferred by 15-year-old Marie Fratling and her adopted mother, Mrs. Susie Billups, were first handed to Principal George B. Murphy and by him transmitted to the School Board. Since the school dentists are under the direction of the Health Department, the charges were sent to Dr. Jones. Tuesday morning Dr. Jones said he had the charges in hand and had sent them to Dr. Stone for a written reply. The dentist's reply, which was a complete denial of the girls' charges, reached the Health Commissioner's office in the afternoon. Late Wednesday Dr. Jones declared he was sitting the matter and had arrived at no decision. Mrs. Billups' Statement. Mrs. Billups made the following statement to the AFRO-AMERICAN: "Marie Frailing, the girl in question, is my adopted child. She has lived with me for six years and I have found her to be unusually truthful and ambitious. She is in the eighth grade and is also well advanced in music. "Coming home from school on the afternoon of the day the affair took place she told me of the trouble she had had. Her story was that she had been sent to the dental clinic to have her teeth attended to. When she went into the room she was told by Dr. Stone to take a seat at the chair. When she asked the scout, Dr. Stone first asked her name and age, and She pushed his hand away and asked what did he mean. When he made further advances she jumped from the chair. He then asked her was she afraid he was too old for her. Leaves Dental Clinic. "She left the room and went back to the room of her teacher, Prof. Jones. He asked her about her dental work and she told him that it had not been done. He pressed her to know the reason why and she told him that she did not feel that she had to return to the room if she did not want to do it." "When Marie came home she told me and I asked her had she quoted the matter to the principal. She had not and I took the matter in hand and went to the school myself." "In the presence of Principal George B. Murphy, Mrs. Billips declared, Dr. Stone denied that he had ever seen Marie, sitting that he had seen Marie, sent to him, he had not seen her. He became angry, satting that this was not the first time that he had been framed in this manner. Mrs. Billips expressed her confidence that the authorities of the school would take the proper step.

Blind To Lessons Of History It is incredible that the rulers of France should be so blind to the lesson of history. They have just emerged from an experience which ought to have cured them for ever of the folly of teaching any passivity and simple people the arts or war. The Germans were once the east bellicose of all the races and tribes in Europe. But they were ractable and took kindly to discipline and other nations paid them well to fight as mercenaries of their armies. In battle they employed the employment of Hanoverian and other specially milted German regiments by the French and the British in the quibbles which for long years accompanied the evolution of these two nations into great Empires, and in all probability the monstrous era of Hohenzollen militarism which (immediately only to establish a rule of the sword in its place) is directly traceable to this simple cause. 1.500.000 Black Troops Today in Africa, France is prepping an even greater security for her own back and for civilization. In four years' time, if the present programme is adhered to, she will have, at her disposal, either in the standing army or if the reserve, a million and a half black troops trained to modern methods of warfare and bursting with military ardour. She cannot keep these troops in Europe. They must return to their bases, where, of course, they will live, others with the dangerous ideas they have learnt from their masters. And soon the whole northern part of this continent will be filled with all the explosives necessary for another great upheaval. Menace To White Africa South Africa cannot pretend to remain indifferent while this great urgence to her civilization grows up at her very doors. It is not necessary for France to maintain this immense military force. There is the still greater guarantee that can be obtained by a policy of peace and reconciliation in England. With this purpose, use Mr. Dijkstra's memorable phrase to Mr. Poineare: think once, think twice, and even think three times before she confiants herself beyond recall to 16 a course which inevitably means a new reign of Barbarian throughout Africa and Europe?

Over the surgeons' heads was a group of angels, one of them darting down immediately over the knife, as if to say, "Have a care there, have a care!" "For many hours I lay unconscious, but the first words that greeted my awakening were those of cheer from my husband, as leaning over me he assured me I would be well, for with angels guarding the knife, what hand could go astray?"

Farley, 17 years old, arrested and identified by Miss Octavia Bell as her assailant, has been transferred to the county authorities on the charge of assault andaqn. Aqn. Aqn. 88, 800, chief of police A. O. avn Riper told the AFRO-AMERICAN today. --- Chief of Police A. O. Van Riper is making an investigation to find six other boys, who with R. G. Farley, aged 17, kidnapped Miss Octavia Bell. their 20-year-old teacher at the high school, to the suburb, where she was criminally assaulted. One of the youths who has been caught declared that the boys were merely limiting the Ku Klux Klan. Miss Bell's statement to the police was: "I had left the house of a girl friend and was standing outside, and a car when an automobile drove up and several hands pulled me inside. "Before I could make an outey, I was bound, gagged and blindfolded. Then driving at high speed I was carried into the outskirts of the city. "The youths then proceeded ediously until it all—(oh, the horror of it all). They paid not the slightest attention to my pleas. After "Y." HAS NO APOLOGY FOR SEGREGATION To the Editor: The talk about Jim Crow and the "Y." Festival comes because some would actually rather campain than go to the trouble to find out the truth. Now it is said that the men who manage the "Y" have not attempted to defend the position because they cannot. We have nothing to defend. The central Y. M. C. A. (white) wanted four hundred tickets, not only for the love of music, but more particularly because they wished us to please and we are still pleased to have their support. Central's request came early and we did with any of you would have done with any other organization whatever, given their hundred seats one block and marked them in big letters, "For the Central Y. M. C. A." These seats were no more prominent than others. In the same way, were served sixty seats for Morgan College, eighteen seats for the Peerless Glee Club, forty-five seats for the Post Office Glee Club and one hundred seats for the Ladies' Auxiliary of the YW.

We are thankful to the Baltimore public of both races for splendid response to the call of your YI M. C. A. If we fail to further enter this discussion, we would have it known that it is not because of lack of justification.

Then telling me that I was immoral and a disgrace to the community, they proceeded to brand me. The pain and the smell of my own flesh cooking, caused me to faint several times. "Once, when I came out of my stupor, one of the boys, young Farley, was cutting off part of my hair. He said they were going to be praised me on the forehead in order that even would know just what I was. They said that I was the first of a number of prominent young girls who were be treated in a similar manner. "Then after I had pleaded with them not to bound me on the forehead, they left the same, telling me I could get back to town the best way I knew how."

Spring street, was hailed into the Eastern Police Station Monday morning. Mrs. Anderson is alleged to have gone to the school after an argument with the teacher and attempted to slap her. A window pane was broken in the excitement that followed. Prof. Howard Gross, principal of the school, caused a warrant to be issued for Mrs. Anderson and Magistrate Retaliatiu upon recommendation of Prof. Gross, ordered the woman to apologize both in the Court and before the students of the school, as well as replace the broken pane. When interviewed as to the affair, Prof. Gross stated, "I propose to operate this school according to rules and regulations set down by the Board of School Commissioners without fear or favor, should inadvertently be misused or misindication shall do all in their power to keep our school in harmony with its patrons; that they shall do everything possible to inculcate ideals of citizenship that will function now and later in respect for regular constituted authority, my individual parent or permit my individual parent or to do anything destructive of these ideals.

A. held a grand opening last Saturday evening to which the faculty and Y. W. C. A. were invited. The entire first floor of Bellevue Hall has been turned over to the activities of the Y. M. C. A. The New York Walker, of Madison Street Presbyterian Church, delivered the sermon at Vesper services last Sunday afternoon. His choir accompanied him and rendered excellent music. Dr. Thomas I. Brown, who represented Morgan College at the Quadrennial Convention of the Student Volunteer Movement, which met in Indianapolis, December 25th to January 1st, made his report at the regular lecture period on last Wednesday. Dr. Brown declared that the Convention was a highly interesting and in many respects an epoch-making assembly. It was noted from the report that United States, Canada, England, Switzerland and other European countries, the Latin-American Republics, China, Japan, India, Korea, Africa, Philippine islands—all were represented on the program. The keynote of the addresses was the Christian evangelization of the World, and the application of the teachings of Jesus Christ to the solution of the World's problems. There was manifest a deep realization of an unquestionable desire to grow out of the present universal unrest on the part of the dark races of the world, their repudiation of the white man's doctrine of superiority, and the demand everywhere for self-determination and equality of opportunity. Dr. Brown said he had two outstanding experiences: First, the experience of being displayed by Negroes and other dark races, which cannot fail to convince the rational elements of the white race that high intellectual and spiritual endowment is not an exclusive heritage of one race. The second experience was the liberal attitude of many white college young men and women of the South and North of America, some who even 'induced complete social equality between Negroes and whites. It is expected that arrangements will be made with one of the local churches whereby Pro. Brown gave to churchmen of High more a full report of that conduction. The students of Morgan Academy stage a moral trial on last Friday in the church that proved to be an interesting affair. School 101 Jefferson and Bond Streets A celebration in honor of the two soccer teams of the school was held on last Friday afternoon.

Lewis Cote has a rich tenor voice which has been the subject of much favorable criticism by members of the faculty and others who have heard him. These two boys are not given to common use or ring thing; their music is of the highest order. Their schoolmates are held spellbound while they are performing.

NEW PLANS DISCUSSED General Conference Will Be Asked To Create Central Finance Board. Call News Service Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 17.—Tailing a motion asking the return of Bishop H. B. Parks to the Fifth Episcopal District was one of the outstanding incidents in the session of the delegates to the General conference of the A. M. E. Church, which closed a two-day meeting here Wednesday. The delegates, who are ministers and layman elected by the annual conferences of the district, met here to organize before their trip to Louisville in May. Endorse Peck For Bishop Rev. W. H. Peck, St. Louis, was endorsed by the delegation as its choice for the Episcopacy. Rev. Peck defeated Rev. W. H. Thomas, who stated before and after the vote that he would not consider a vote against him as an elimination from the race and that he would run anyway. Reports Draw Fire Sharp discussion was raised after the report of the committee on finance was read. The report which is a recommendation to the general conference for reform of the church, provides for the establishing of one general commission to handle the business now being done by 14 boards and recommends that the commission have an office tenure of four years and the following personnel: the bishop's council, the bishop's council and two others from each Episcopal district to be elected by the delegations to the general conference. The bishops will sit for one year and the other members for the whole four years. The clause providing for the election of the members of the bishop's council to the bishops was criticized by Bishop Parks, who said that the office was properly and appointive one. Step Toward Democracy The measure was passed by the delegation, but Bishop Parks assured the members that it had small chance of getting by the Bishop's Council, and even if it passed there, the general conference had no power to pass such a clause. "Unless you preach to the intelligence of your congregation, leaving out our Mission, you have not proclaimed." Rev. I. A. Frye told the Baptist Ministers' Meeting Monday at Union Baptist Church. The Sixth Mount Zion Church of Richmond, once made famous by John Jasper, who preached that the sun moves and the earth is flat, has called Rev. A. C. Brown, of Anderson, S. C. as pastor.

CLINICS Declare City's Free Clinic Plan Will Aid In Controlling Disease. WANT NEGRO PERSONNEL Head of Medical Asso. States That Doctors and Nurses Should Be Colored. Dr. V. L. Ellicott, white, city epidemiologist, plans to call all of the colored physicians together February 1st, to begin a campaign against tuberculosis. There will be five clinics for the treatment of tuberculosis and the city physicians will be asked to co- operate with the health department in sending the patients to these free clinics for treatment. Dr. Ellicott says the colored birthrate is sixty per cent higher than the white birthrate and our birthrate is higher than our death rate. Asked what they think can be accomplished by this campaign against tuberculosis, some local physicians gave the following statements: Dr. J. R. Coasey; 735 George street: "If it is carried on properly a great deal can be accomplished." Dr. J. C. Stewart, president of local Medical Association, 704 N. Lafayette avenue: "Absolutely nothing can be accomplished unless colored physicians and nurses are put in charge of the clinics. Generally white nurses and doctors are put in charge of the clinics and they do not take the same interest in colored patients that colored nurses and doctors would, and colored doctors do not feel inclined to co-operate with white doctors and nurses put in charge of clinics that they themselves could take charge of." Dr. E. Mayfield Royle, 425 N. Caroline street: "The high death rate among colored people is not due so much to tuberculosis as it is to neglect in the local hospitals. Often in serious cases the patient is forced to wait three and four hours before given medical aid. In order to accomplish any good from the campaign the health department must first educate the colored people to secure medical aid for diseases when they are in their first stages and not wait until it has developed before calling a physician." Dr. F. N. Cardoza, 1524 Drudid Hill avenue: "I think it is a splendid thing." Dr. Wm. Cargill, 430 W. Bidle street: "A lot of good can be accomplished from such a campaign. I shall do all I can to co-operate." Dr. Wm. T. Carr, 515 Mosher street: "It may arouse the people to send patients suffering with tuberculosis to Henryton and thus prevent the spread of the disease. Generally a person suffering with this disease spreads it to four or five other persons before they die. Bad housing conditions helps the spread of this disease." Dr. R. Garland Chissell, 1534 Druid Hill avenue: "Much can be accomplished by such a campaign if the health department can get patients to attend the clinics. The high death rate is due largely to crowded housing conditions. The recent effort to segregate colored people only tends to make matters worse for the disease spreads rapidly where people are forced to live in alleys and also where many are forced to occupy one house." Dr. B. M. Rhetta, Druid Hill avenue: "The city is anxious to have physicians report more of their tuberculosis cases and is also anxious to have those afflicted with the disease secure treatment early. We can blot out tuberculosis if we can treat it in its early stages."

POLICE BEGIN WAR ON GAMING DIVES Philadelphia Drive Causes Prompt Police Vigilance Here Against Influx Of Criminals. Men and Women Taken In Alleged Games In Five Different Raids. Striking hard and swift in several places where gaming and other disorders were alleged to have been in progress police rounded up more than 80 men and women in raids Saturday and Sunday. The increased activity was ordered, police say, to prevent any of the many crooks being driven out of Philadelphia from deciding to make their abode here in Baltimore. So fast did the police work that several men were caught in two raids Saturday night, Calvin Glenn, 1108 Argyle avenue and Shelly Paulner, 1639 N. Mount street, had given collateral for their appearance Sunday morning, when they were caught in a second raid staged a few hours later. Two white men, Henry Hale, 2731 Guilford avenue and Joseph Fruel, 2921 Rockdale street, were also caught rolling the bones in one of the raids. Calhoun Street House Raised At 1150 N.

Silence of Bishop I. N. Ross, of Washington, head of the Fifth Episcopal District, when a group of Ku Klux Klanmen interrupted a preliminary meeting of the Central Arkansas Conference recently, came as a surprise to many local pastors. Many who were inclined to favor him at first, and nothing to say when they read in last week's AFRO-AMERICAN that it was Bishop Ross and one or two others who kept the last Bishop's Council in Columbia, S. C., from placing an anti-Ku Klux Klan paragraph in its address to the country. According to that report, Bishop Ross' objections were so surrenuous that the usual bishop's report on the state of the country was not published at all. Older Bishops Missed Without referring to Bishop Ross at all, Rev. J. E. Lee, speaking before the ministers' conference at Bethel A. M. F. Church, Monday, declared that the church missed some of its older stalwarts. He referred to the late Bishops Henry McNeal Turner and Charles S. Smith as being outspoken men whenever a crisis developed. President Taft always depended WATCH THE FOR OUR BIG AND MONUMENTAL DEPARTMENT 653 W.

Leave of absence gave rise to the rumor that Mr. Hall had sent in his resignation. upon Bishop Arnett for advice in matters concerning the race and likewise President Theodore Roosevelt when the president, it is said, leaned heavily on Bishop Abraham Grant. There may be weak men in the church, said Rev. C. H. Stepteau, following Rev. Lee's discussion, but the church has produced and is producing great and strong men who are neither cringers nor sycoplants. Rev. Stepteau declared he believed in a minister taking part in all activities open to other citizens. The pastor, he said, should become interested in politics and if he felt inclined should be in position to go out and take the stump in order to help place his candidate in office. Iev. W. H. Hall, pastor of Wayman A. M. E. Church, declared that the ministers' calling was only to preach the word of God and to leave outside matters to others. "If you take the money out of politics," he said, "you will find no ministers 'there either.'"

Police and Firemen Use Gas Masks To Rescue Body From Under Ground Overcome by gas from a main of the Consolidated Gas and Electric Co., as he worked in a manhole at the corner of Baltimore and Gay streets, George Blackstone, 1402 E. Fairmount avenue, died at the Mercy Hospital, about 4:30 Monday afternoon. Efforts of two other workmen, and a dozen firemen and police called to the scene, succeeded in rescuing John Cane, white, 1713 Biddle street, who was working with Blackstone in the hole, but the would-be rescuers themselves were overcome by the gas before they could get out. Firemen with gas masks succeeding in getting all of the stricken men out but not until Blackstone was too far gone to be resuscitated. Blackstone and Kane were boring a hole in the gas main to connect a water trap, when for some reason the apparatus designed to close the opening until the valve was screwed in, did not work and water and tar spouted from the opening into the face of Blackstone, blinding him. Kane made an effort to get him out of the hole but was overcome by the escaping gas before he succeeded and fell back. Charles Jones, 426 N. Bond street, and John Epps, 909 Vincent Street, also working on the surface, jumped into the hole and succeeded in rescuing Kane but were themselves overcome before they could lift Blackstone out. The Blackstones came here sometime ago from St. Mary's County. He leaves a wife and child. Funeral took place Wednesday from the home. Interment in Mt. Auburn.

Allen Says Move Is To Keep Poorer Whites Permanently Located In Town. TELLS OF CONFERENCE Rabid · Segregationist Offered To Sell Him House In White Neighborhood. Segregation as now planned by a group of West Baltimore whites, is doomed to failure, is the opinion held by Willard W. Allen, 1223 W. Lafayette avenue. As a real estate operator, Mr. Allen has sold many pieces of property in that section to colored people. He opened the 1200 block of Lafayette avenue, where a fine type of whites resided, to similar families among the race. "As I see it, the high type white man is not so much after us as he is trying to keep the poorer whites out of the fine suburban sections. "At the meeting of the whites held last Friday night, whites from the suburbs were on hand to urge segregation. Segregation for them would mean that the poorer whites could not sell their property to the race and then seek a home in the rich suburbs. "Sometimes ago a group of whites called me into consultation about the segregation question. I was urged not to secure property in white blocks. I told them the question could be solved by whites buying from a white owner at the price asked and not by offering him half of what the house is worth. "Colored people have not run the whites out of my block. The owner of one of the houses I bought is building a $15,000 house at Ten Hills. That indicates that threatened moving in of colored people is not making him move, but that he wants a fine home in a newer section. "The standard of living and appearance has not been lowered by the colored people who have moved in my block." Mr. Allen then related how one of the outspoken men at the conference proposed segregation which he attended later entered into a deal with him by which a piece of property was sold and that they split the commission. White segregationists will hold another meeting at the Christian Temple. Fulton and Penrose avenues Friday night. Rev. Peter Ainslie, head of the local association for better relations between the races, is pastor of this church.

TO STAY CLOSED ALL THIS YEAR Board of Directors To Meet Friday To Consider Disposition of Present Building. CHANGE IS PLANNED The 1924 budget of the Y. W. C. A., Central Branch, contains no appropriation for the carrying on of the work at the Druid Hill Avenue colored branch. This means that the building will be closed for the rest of this year. At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Association, Tuesday night in the board room of the main Y. W. C. A. Park avenue and Franklin street. Mrs. E. A. White, international organizer of the Y. W. C. A. declared that the Baltimore branch is closed because it did not have a proper secretary and was without money to pay such a secretary. To put the association, a minimum budget of $5,000 is required, it is said, and this amount the Board of Directors will include in its budget for 1925. Mrs. W. B. Cochran, president of the Board of Directors, of the Central Y. W. C. A. and Mrs. Winn, will meet all the older members and friends of the Y. W. C. A., Druid Hill Avenue Branch, Friday night to determine what is to be done with the building at Doplin Square and Druid Hill avenue. Presidents plans are to turn this structure over to the former owners who had planned it as home to the working glazes official Y. W. C. A. purposes.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 18 WILL HE DO IT? | An experiment in municipal administration that 3s being walched by every large city in this country began last week in Philadelphia when that vice-ridden town was turned over to Brigadier-General Smedley D. Butler, acting as Director of Public Safety, to clean up. If the experiment brings permanent results it will no doubt revolutionize poli- ties and city administration throughout the country. "There has been a widespread feeling that many of the evils common to city life cannot be eradicated. Among some of these evils have been commercialized vice, boot- legging, the political control of the bosses, and the corrup- tion of the police departments. But, backed by the Mayor, General Butler has at least delivered a quick and stunning blow to intrenched vice that has brought nation-wide comment. More than a thousant saloons, it is said, and numerous other disorderly places, long considered impregnable behind the protection of the city Losses, have heen closed and deni- zens of the under world are dazzled by the seriousness of the attack. It is too early to judge the real effect, but let us hope that he can do it. + oe eR OR aN | FRANCE’S COLONIAL POLICY | The decision of France to absorb each year 30,000 of her colored colonials into her army moves Arthur Brisbane of the Hearst papers to speculate as to the effect it will have on France und the world. “France,” he says. “has no social barriers against race or color,” and there is the usual veiled bogaboo of the effect of amalgamation. There is one thing certain. France, dealing honestly, and squarely with her citizens of color, hus much less to fear from ititér-marriage of the races ‘than those guardians of the purity of the Nordic blonds in this country who loudly proclaim against honest contact, but who are the best patrons of black and tan resorts in the vice districts, and who boast of a bronzed mistress as well asa white wife. France may or may not absorb her 30,000 colonials racially each year, but whatever she does she will no doubt do openly, honestly and above board. ee OR OF nn | THE GRAND JURY'S REPORT | It is a custom for all Grand Juries to make an annual report of recommendations growing out of their practical contact with the crime problems of the community during their tenancy in office. The September Baltimore Grand Jury has made a report that will no doubt strike many renders as out of the ordinary in comprehensiveness and vitality of the problems considered. This report recommends, among othey things, the seg- regation of vice, the modification of the Volstead Law so that light wines and beer might be sold, more stringent application of the law to brutal husbands, schools for feeble- minded, 2 centralized police court, segregation of tubercu- Jar patients at Melvale and Cheltenham, and curtailment of flogging at the Jatter institution. ‘The question of segregation of vice will no doubt cause much discussion, as will that of allowing light wines and beer. The ancient evil of prostitution still baffles the best minds of today. Tt is an open question whether under pres- out conditions the policy of allowing prostitution to scatter over the city is not worse than the isolation in a circum- scribed area. 8 ‘The question of control, however, is secondary in im- portance to reaching deeper into the economic and social causes leading to prostitulion. But like an infectious dis- ease, it ix present as a stern fact, and we believe some isolation and-control is best, until it can be eradicated. * * + THE JAPANESE EXODUS According to a news item in the New York Times, 30.000 Japanese farmers are preparing to abandon nearly '500,000 acres of California's richest crop land. This is a result of the recent Supreme Court ruling that upholds the Hiram Johnson State legislation prohibiting Japanese from owning land in that tate. Rather than go back to the status of wage earners these shifty sons of Nippon who have made two blades of grass grow where one was accus- tomed to grow before and have added millions each year to the productive wealth of the commonwealth, decides to pick up and hike. The big sin committed by the Japanese, and that which made them so obnoxious to white California, was their thrift and progress. They could not be used as beasts of burden and slaves to produce wealth for the lordly aristo- crats, They worked hard, but they bought land and worked for themselves. Therefore the bloody flag of race prejudice was raised against them and they were legislated out of the State. Maybe the whites, like Pharaoah of Egypt, will soon be begging them to come back. But who will take the place of the Japanese in Cali- fornia? Some of our big financial concerns dealing in real estate might do 4 service of value by sending a representa- tive there to see what can be done towards settling some of our farming migrants in this rich country. Already a movement has been started to cut some of these large farms up into small farms for white tenants.

WED PASTOR'S DAUGHTER Now He Goes in for Civic Clubs and Harlem Real Estate. By Wm. E. Ready To write the books of his musical shows which necessitates the creating of original comedy dialogue, the building up of comedy situations into which the other comedians of his company must fit; to fashion the "straight" parts for the leading woman, leading man, juvenile, etc., to arrange all this into a whole and then jump in and play the leading comedy role is quite a job. To do all this and in the midst of it, end time to be a Mason, EK, Pythian, member of the N. A. A. C. P., to take part in many civic events, and with it all raising a family, is nothing short of genius, and that Genius is Irwin Miller, whose new show "Dinnah" played for three consecutive weeks in this city recently. Mr. Miller, who is a brother of Flournoy Miller of the famous vaudeville team of Miller and Lyles and Quintard Miller, who has often brought his splendid shows to the Regent for protracted engagements, was born in Columbia, Tenn., where he attended the public schools, later entering and graduating fromDisk University. Reside the two years before he and his mother comprise the family. His father at the time of his death was editor of the Nashville Globe. An Athlete At College At college, Miller was something of an athlete played on the football and basketball teams and was always in the midst of whatever athletic sports were on foot. His love for these sports is still with him today. After hearing school he decided that he would become an actor and found his first engagement with the old Pokin Stock Company, (which has turned out so many colored players to become prominent in the theatrical world, chief among whom is Charles Glimpin). This was in 1906. Later he left this company and joined his brother, Flourney, who had already preceived him into the theatrical field, forming a trio, Miller, Lytle and Mather. In 1912 he organized his first company, playing a show written by himself. The title was, "Mr. Kasteney." This show managed to keep the leading playwright in "pork shops" for some three years which is the period over which he toured with it. "Broadway Bastus." His next venture was, "Broadway Resistus." This show toured for seven years. In 1920 he wrote and produced "Put and Take." This did not prove the success he had thought, and for a while he abandoned the producing business and selecting a partner, went into vaudeville as Muller and Anthony. While tilting his vaudeville en- Cell VErno 6017 THE AFRO-AMERICAN SOUTH'S BIGGEST AND BEST WEEKLY FRIDAY, JANUARY 18 will be opened as a colored read- ' Love and Mitchell are working the show theatre in the gym, where houses in the vicinity of the "Liza," and when he had his book completed he called in co-workers who specialized in particular departments, he superintending the whole and the result is well known to all the theatregoers who witnessed this fine show.

He tipped us off that he has already perfected plans for the building of a large hotel in New York next year. LAFAYETTE IS FIVE YEARS OLD By J. A. Jackson New York, New J., 18.—The Lafayette Theater in the Harlem district of New York, celebrated its fifth anniversary of the present management with an eight act valuedille Matt's Brothers and Smith and Cook, two colored teams, each spectated next to closing of a half of the bill, were the only colored acts on an unusually high class bill, and proved to be the honor acts, and not all because of the fact that they were blackface acts. Orville and Frank acrobats and balances with high hatter, opened the program, Foster and Poster, a man and woman with a piano act, were both are standard turns. The Variety Five a youthful group of diversified dancers, was fourth. The Deville Band featuring a dancing team in the usual routine of novelty dancers opened the second half. This is evidently a comparatively new act, but well staged with a special drape. The kid drummer is not funny as he hopes to be but otherwise it is a good turn with an unusually beautiful female dancer with a titho singer. Ellen's single, proved a riot, she is a single who can sell out in any market. The eight blue beavers, with a substitute working for Toney Vale, who is out because of a sprained wrist, provided a whirlwind finish. The Watts Brothers with a special setting, and a slow drawing conversation introduced some very clever trembons and cornet work that should make the act a favorite anywhere. Cook and Smith's new book has been reviewed before and their reception verified the correctness of the comment. THEATRE FOR PITTS THEATRE FOR PITTS BY J. A. Jackson. Harry Tannenbaum, owner of the Star Theater in Pittsburgh, has purchased a former picture house of large dimensions at 2424 Wylie avenue, which will be remodeled and install stage, dressing rooms, a ventilation system and complete electric rewiring after which it will be opened as a colored read-through theater. This will make an important reduction in the cost that exists in the eastern and western group of houses available to our productions; a gap that has spelled the ruin to many attractions. It is entirely likely that Mr. Tan- nonbaum may take advantage of his T. O. H. A. franchise to fill dates, when road attractions are not obtainable with circuit vaude- ville.

Jackson About the most interesting bit of journalism we have picked up this week was in the N. Y. World of January 1, 2013, when Mr. Hayes to me "Heywood Brown discussed the appearance of Roland Hayes at Town Hall to a capacity audience that was a brilliant group of the city's residents as could be assembled. Mr. Brown not only indelibly fine orighought; but he indelibly stamps with his magnificent measurement of the Negro by normal standards without the aid of special scales in the form of restricting injectives, modifications, explanations, and of our group wants. He says, "Mr. Hayes is a singer . . . . He is not an accident . . . . and about ten inches more of the Negro group made less lengthily than it might otherwise have been by a fire that broke out in the World building.

Incidentally, Mr. Hayes and Mariam Anderson records are now being marketed by the Victor Company.

That the latter and Eddie Hunter have completed the book of "Hard Times," and that he is at work on the music. The piece will be ready for rehearsal by the time this gets into print. It is said that the production will be bigger than any Eddie has starred before. Rumor has it that "7-11" will be reproduced by the Hartig and Seamon office.

"Easier," retorted the first man in secret, "I done got inside information about that, and I found out the war was started about a woman, just all the other wars. Yes sir, my boss said so this time.

Fremont Avenue. The Garden --- Anyone who has a piece of ground "as big as a blanket" may make it yield a little pin money. A storekeeper's wife, having but one town lot, set out some early tomato plants which she carefully protected during cold spells. From a dozen plants she sold $6 worth of tomatoes. It does not seem possible, but we have to setting plants, previously started indoors, in the open ground early, a few plants can be made to yield an enormous quantity of tomatoes. Last season from 11 pounds of onion sets, planted about 2 inches apart, 1 sold $4 worth of bunch onions besides what we used on our own table. A surplus of cabbage sells well when made into kraut. Early cabbage which persists in bursting out before it can be eaten, is sold into kraut and sold. I have sold such cabbage for chow-chow, but most of my customers prefer to wait until fall before putting up mixed pickles or chow-chow. In early spring a small space on the sunny side of an outbuilding can be made to yield an appreciable amount of spending money by digging a pit and making a hotbed for raising cabbage, tomato, pepper or sweet potato plants. The sweet potato is an exceptionally good seller in most localities. A boy of my acquaintance utilized a narrow strip along the south side of a long hen house for growing lettuce and radishes in spring, to grow depth, mixed a small amount of wood ashes and some well-ratted manure with it, and after sowing the seed he set boards on edge with some discarded wire notting to keep the chickens out. Old carpets and socks serve as a protection on cold nights. His vegetables were on the market several weeks before other home-grown products made their appearance, and he got a better price. EXPERIENCE I pluck a rose from a tree in bloom. Because of its sweet perfume, And prest it close to my heart, thru it. I lose its sweet scent so rare. It l'vid, as tho from my love, and thriv'd. Its fragrance filling each breath; Dilat it wither'd and died;-- So life without love is death. So life without love is death. I met a maid in the bloom of youth And that to myself, forsooth. My heart shall rest in this love newborn. As rose missles close to thorn. My that and hope to nothing burns. For love is to life as breath; And love to live, must meet love in turn. For life without love is death. For life without love is death. For Rubber Plants A new discovery for a rubber plant. In order to have a rubber plant thrive especially during the winter months.

Sweet Pickled Prunes This is something a little different and appetizing. Besides they give one a greatly needed food element—iron. To 4 pounds of prunes use 1 pint of vinegar, 2 pounds sugar, 1 ounce each of cinnamon and chives and 3 ounce of ginger. Add the vinegar together 10 minutes. After soaking the prunes for 2 or 3 hours and steaming them 10 or 15 minutes, pour the vinegar over them and boil them until the prunes are tender. Steamed Brown Bread A bread so delicious in flavor you will like it as well as cake. Use 2 cups graham or rye flour, 1 cup white flour, 1½ cups sour milk or buttermilk, 2 teaspoons soda, and then dry them in this brown bread. It improves the flavor. Some folk use molasses—from 1 to 2 cups. Mix the and sift the dry ingredients and the milk and molasses (if wanted). Put the milk in a bowl and pour cans or coffee tins, put the lids on and steam the bread 3 hours. Take the lids off long enough for the tops to "dry bake." Puffed Rice Brittle One cup white sugar, 1 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons milk or water. Cook until it makes stiff baths in water, then stir in as much puffed rice as you can. This is very nice. Turn out on plates to cool. This is not too sweet for children. SALLIE MAY BISHOP, 1238 Dreid Hill Avenue.

SPOOKS IN LAUREL CEMETERY THE CEMETERY . Is Laurel Cemetery neglected? Not by spooks answers "E. L. Ef'f" of Buffalo, N. Y., who returns this photo from a recent issue of the AP10 with five asterisks pointing out what he believes to be 'shadow faces.' He adds: 'In this picture of Laurel, by a stretch of the imagination, one can see five or more shadow faces. I am not trying to loosen the spiritualism nor help along the mysteries of the Pyschies. But are there spooks or ghosts in the first time that I have noted these sheds in ghosty photography. Now don't label me as superstitions and wine out. It might stir up some interest among your readers to inquire if anyone noticed the ghosts and how many they found.' HERE'S A PLOT FROM THE NEWS FOR A THRILLER The plot for one of the greatest fiction stories ever written is contained in a news story that has been running in the papers. It is the story of the disappearance of the duigible Dixmude. The facts are: The Dixmude, with 51 persons aboard, began a flight from Copenhagen, Africa, to a point in France. It vanished as completely as the it had been dissolved in the sky. The body of the captain was found in the Mediterranean Sea. John Wharton, in the Cleveland Press, outlines the story for the amateur thus: The Dixmude sailed on and on, the food supply becoming shorter and shorter. The captain felt responsible for the lives of his passengers. Therefore, he refused to eat, so that his share of the rations could be partitioned among the others. Because of his sacrifice, he was the first to die of starvation. The ship was passing over the Mediterranean. "I thought of his mother as carried his body to the rail. closed my eyes as the be dropped like a shot. It was than in the case of the captain, for the ship was in passing over a great forest there was no merciful sea to on the fall of John Johnstone body." Thus the diary, day by day, chronicles the events about finally, this is recorded: "December 29: I am all al There, was a moment of silent prayer and then the body shot down, down—miles it seemed to those, who watched it. And then William Jones made the first one in the diary that was to become the complete history of that horrific voyage. One by one the passengers died. From the diary kept by William Jones: December 31: When I went to give John Johnson a bit of canned meat this morning, his body was stiff and cold. I knew John was sweet-tended, woman, was all wrapped up in her only son, and didn't blame her, for John was a Heart Problems Heart Problems Answered by Aunie Honey. Dear Annie—I am going with a young man two years my senior. He tells how much he loves me and is very good to me, but I do not love him as much as I do another young man. My parents do not want me to quit the young man I am going with. Should I go against my parents' wishes? --- Can't you keep the young man for a friend and enjoy the society of others at the same time. You are not engaged, and there is no reason why you should not do it. Husband Never Takes Her Out. Dear Annie, I am a married woman, 21 years old. My husband is a terrible seed. He soils me about matters of no importance whatsoever. Since he hasn't been together outside of church, I am still young and enjoy the movies and skating, yet he will never take me anywhere. Now, I know many young men who would be very glad if I would go to a show or rink with them. Do you think it would be wrong for me to go? Do you know of any way I can get my husband to take me out? When he goes home, I am sure he will come home. Is this fair. I am sure if he does not change toward me, I shall leave him and go away. Please tell me what to do. I am sure if you stop thinking about other young men and ask your husband in a pleasant way to take you out, he will not refuse. You would be very unwise in going about with other young men.

THE NEWS FOR A KILLER Most fiction stories ever written that has been running in the disappearance of the drigible ones aboard, began a flight from Paris in France. It vanished as solved in the sky. The body of mid-terranean Sea. "I thought of his mother as I carried his body to the rail. I closed my eyes as the body dropped like a shot. It was worse than in the case of the captain, for the ship was now passing over a great forest and there was no merciful sea to sank on the fall of John Johnstons body." Thus the diary, day by day, chronicles the events aboard. Finally, this is recorded: "December 29: I am all alone. One by one, they died. One by one, they were saved. I just drank the last six drops of water. I had been saving it 24 hours. The food gave out day before yesterday. "It will be over soon, now. "LATER: An joyful child is gripping my heart. Is this death? "I only wish that my mother were here to hold my hand. "I am so honey. "I am so very, very cold." But the diary of Willian Jones ended in a gearwash. They found it gripped in his hand when 24 hours later, the great airmail dropped to a country road and reeled like a tired bird. She Was A Trifler She Was A Trifler She was a school teacher, a plump blond, an always smiling miss, several years my senior; t a baskish youngster who worshiped blindly from afar. She kept me as a son of reserve for a fall on when a more desirable escort failed to materialize, and I was always Johnny-on-the-spot, ready to accept any crumbs of comfort she saw fit to bestow upon me. For two years she taught our school, and I was her willing and loyal slave. Then she migrated to New York, where she broke—the light of my life was extinguished forever, or, to be exact, for about three or four months. It affords me a small degree of satisfaction to know that a now, while I am the husband, the dearest woman on earth and the fairest, the charmble kidies, still is a plump, blond school-person and an old maid.

Address: Emiliannissent Editor, AFRO-AMERICAN. I was invited one evening to attend a whist party at a very fashionable ballet hall. I being the only one involved and while I conversation with some, I noticed that everyone seemed to be acquainted with all the society matrons; and not wanting to be behind the times, I precluded to know quite a few masters, several bands, my partner complained my playing by telling me I played a wonderful game of whist and don't ever eat myself an amateur again; and should also tell I had been used to playing with good partners. "Oh well," I said, "do play quite often for my partner." Now, I had never met Mrs. F—personally, but I had heard a great deal of her being a whistle "shark." And as she said to all the social leaders, My companion looked at me rather strangely and said, "Do you mean the Mrs. Mary F—on Indiana avenue?" I quickly answered, "Yes. You can imagine my embarrassment in the eyes and said, 'Well, with, I never believed in the astral body; but if you usually play with Mrs. F—all the time, it surely must have been her astral body, as happened to be Mrs. F—, and I don't know how you feel you before this calling." One night a gentleman friend of mine took me to a dance; as we were dancing along very nicely, someone stepped right on the back of my sine and pulled it right off my foot, me having a great big hole in my silt stocking, imagine my embarrassment.

How I Became An Earner How I Became An Earner I sat gazing glomily out an open window, and unfinished piece of fancy work lying in my lap. I was mentally enumerating the many things I needed for the house and dreading to ask my husband for another check. It was so humiliating to ask for money. I preferred doing without, and could only make my own money as the working girls do in town. I sighed, then thought of the many household duties that would then have to be neglected "Truly there is now way." I murmured. In several papers the next day ran this ad: For sale—Baby caps, $2; tatted yokes, $5; all-over eye sets, $10; small samples, 25 cents, sent C.O.D. Letters came pouring in, and I found myself to help two girls to help me. I furnish all the baby caps and tatting for our little town. Every year I send pieces to the State fair and now make original designs for the Spool Company. In New York to meet the book form. At present I not only make enough money for necessity needs but realize enough to save a little for that rainy day. MRS. O. P.

Dr. Frances Hoggan, i.e. Races Congress says: 'In th where Native life is seen at no fear and they pass freely population, safe and unharm it is when natives and low-cl with each other that the po- men begin to see in the native "Dr. Hoggan goes on to ammadvert upon the practice of the South African ladies of permitting their men servants to enter their bedrooms while they are in bed or in different stages of nudity. A missionary in the Church Quarterly Review, July 1909, complains of the same thing. He says that these women will admit that their men servants the most intimate details of their toilette in the same manner they would a dog or cat. This censure to be small extent exists on sleeping cars in America. "Of those committed to prison for major offences in 1904, the committee committed for rape was Hungarian, 4.4; Italian, 4.4; Austrian, 2.7; Pole 1.1; all whites, 2.5; foreign whites, 2.6; all colored, 1.9. The Negroes lynched for rape and alleged rape, would, according to the Negro Year Book, charge this less than one-fourth of one percent of the population in 1910 the Italian had 5.9; the Mexican 5.9; and the Negro, 2.9 per 100,000 of population respectively, for this crime. "The Medical Review of Reviews, July, 1916, says: 'The sexual crimes of the black race against the white are as nothing when compared to the sexual crimes of the white.'" Negroes have raped women retali, but the white man has raped the colored woman wholesale." "The mortality of the Negro is also greater plan that of the white," said the senator. "This is also due to the Negro's poverty. The rich, white not inherently healthier than the poor, are more likely to suffer from better health. That Negroes are more tenacious of life than whites is a well-known fact. According to the census of 1990 there were 2,674 Negro contestants against 764 white, a proportion of thirty to one. Even permitting for misstatements of age the report is substantially correct and high, however and dittiness, he charged directly against the whites, the attitude of most white men who wrong Negroes, and particularly the women of that group, is one that of the adulterous women mentioned by Solomon who catched and wiphed her mouth and saith, "I have done wick wickness. The Negro is responsible for no an enormous amount of injustice in this nation." "You were speaking a white age of that great indulgent intellect, what do you think of Christianity and the Black man?" "Now, sir, I appeal to your common sense," replied Jesus. "Consider this—but wait. Let me first differentate between any religious sect that practices the sublime command; Love the neighbor as myself and the Christianity of white Gentiles in general for the Gentiles, though a Christian, but a Jew, whom I instructed the Jews for a Jew, fourteen centuries. I have found in my travels that these Gentiles do not like the Jew and the darker races taken collectively that is, in some parts of the world the Jew is dikshed as in all of the European countries, while there is no antipathy against the Negro. Then in some places as in the United States and South Africa, both Jews and Muslims are dissatisfied with this whole I have found that the Christianity of the English-speaking Gentile, however devout, when it comes in contact the darker races in large numbers simply does not work. The temptation to exploit them reduces the injunctions of Christ to mere mouthings as in the Southern States, Australia, India and all Africa. The religion of the Latin races is decidedly more sincerely even in the United States than the Caucasian country with the low prejudice are the Catholic ones, like France, Spain Italy and all the South and Central American ones. Now to speak of Christianity in the United States. Here is a religion that repeats Sunday after Sunday, year after year, century after century, that the one whose name it bears died to save all men regardless of color—a religion that ayers it is a great people of the same nationality, language, dress, customs, and ideals, and to some ex- MME.

And why? For fear of what they call social equality, that people who are more absurdly inconsistent? If they can't harmonize on earth, if they can't even live in the same block or work in jobs of equal importance, will they agree in heaven? White God! Colored God, too, eh? Who does the white American really worship, I ask? The fetish of color or the Christ whose name he mouths? What material for a satrist! Voltaire nearly laughed the Pope of his throne in the cataclysm to which he was not tech black, the white women, nuns were arrested for endearcing to instill into Negro children the love of that same God whom the Christians of Florida habitually impure to send light to those they are pleased to call heathen. For the life of me I can't understand the sort of sentimentality that will weep over Christ tyneched nineteen hundred years ago and accept as a matter of course the things they even take part in it. Some morbid Negrohats like Cole are never tired of spouting of Jesus and His love. "Then you are against Christ for the black man." unity for the black man? "If Christianity is that kindness, courage, and courage attribued to the Lord in the Bible. The religion of the white Gentle which I have just described, yes, from what I have seen and read as occurring in Africa. I know that this sort of Christianity is one of the greatest enemies of the darker peoples and the poor white ones also, and the softer both see it the better. I do not mean to displease him, but to draw him livingstone, Morfou Dan Jawhar, and Father Bianen, but I do know that these good men are usually followed by the dishonest Christian trader with his whiskey, diseases and immorality under the pretext of hearing the white man's burden, which as you can see, is composed of plunder." The white man himself, if you will. Until that is done the weaker varieties of mankind may expect very little else from his Christianity than the prospect of being plundered. Let the white man, I say, put into practice those Christian principles, he accuses the darker races, of not having "But," objected the senator strenuously in the finality he put for the Negro. Look what a sofa it was to him in slaughter. "Soleace! Soleace, did you say? To oaksease a man, then dope him to make him consent. Do you call that a solace? Would you call a chloroform burghar, for instance, a solace. No, that's the work of an archeduvi and a cowardly one at that. The honest fact is that the greatest hindrance to the progress of the Negro is this same dope that was shot into him by archeduvi. Many, not just archeduvi, never stop to think what they are doing. They have accepted the white man's religion in pretty much the same manner as, if they had remained in Africa they would have accepted his old tins that are worn by them as ornaments. As I sometimes watch these people howling and hullabooing I cannot but think that any other process, religious or otherwise, would have served just as well as medium for the release of their emotions, and that, so far as Jesus is concerned, any other rose by that man would be as severe as the same holds of the poor white mountainers of Kentucky and Tennessee who are also violently religious and humoral. The slogan of the Negro deceiver is: Take the world but give me Jesus, and the white man strikes an eager bargain with him. The religious man dissolutions of the Negro, as a group need to be tempered with religion, in the whites with the spirit of Christ.

Avenuers Although Trailing in the Scoring Put a Battle That Baf- fled the Scholastics Those chesty Scholastics who have sat perched upon the topmost rung of the AFRO League standing ever since the schedule opened, almost got what some say is lurking around the corner for them, in an AFRO League contest at the "Y" last Friday night with the Doghass "II." When the smoke of battle lifted, the score showed that the "Bookworms" were on the "bacon" end 55-31, but they had battled with sweat pouring from their bodies for every ounce that they earned. During the greater part of the first half the game had looked like a "walk-away" for the Scholars. The score stood at this point, 50-8. Suddenly like a bolt from a clever sky, the "HI" cagers set up what to all intents and purposes looked like a tight, shut-in of the short Sharp and Jackson shot two into the bottomless aperture simultaneously it seemed. The game was so fast that Referee Game could not get out of the way of the hard thrown balls. He was struck on the head and stunned for a moment or two. These shots seemed to fairly bewilder the Scholastics, and a few seconds later when the half ended, one of the more excited players rushed up to Manager Scholander and bogged him in to "Cuttle" Brown in Up to this time the AFRO League's leading markman had not dotted his street app. In the second half, he came in and his presence was felt to the extent of five goals from the pride and one from the penalty mark. But, during the intermission, his late Director Gibson issued a message going after a series of gestures and gyrations that would make Billy Sunday look like a wooden Indian. His work was not in vain. His charges came forth with blood in their eye determined to do or die. And they fell upon their foe giving no quarter and asking none. The Scholastics with their cog-wheel teamwork started many setups but discovered to their surprise the Avengers had deceived a guard that often smashed the attempted plans to sniffers. As usual, marksmanship tells the story. The Scholars tossed in 27 from the plain, while the Bookworms could negotiate only 14. Of these Center Spencer and Forward Short accounted for 12, the former shooting seven from the field, and the latter five. Wake was the star flicker of the evening bearing in a total of 10.

"Y" finally triumphed 35-22. The team was sensational due to the fact that the "Y" tossers showed considerable improvement over their former form, both their floor game and shooting, and during the first half held the Junior Greeks almost at their mercy. The half ended with the Christians leading 18-5. They had like a safe working margin affording the eager chance to stall a bit during the second half if they felt so inclined, but the Arrows during the intermission held a conclave that "meant nobody else over." Glisson's whistle hit after the last period the Christmas discovered that their 11 point lead was melting like snow in a hot stove. Although always managing to keep ahead in the scoring the Arrows kept trimming away until at one point they had put out five, however, kept its eye on the basket and gradually rolled away leaving the Junior Greeks until the final whistle.

A DOUBLE in the Y GY Douglass Hi ARMSTRONG 12 on local floors this season, the Armstrong "HF" School quintet, of Washington, D. C., and the Scholastic Five, kept a huge gallery in a fran- state of excitement through the forty minutes of play at the "YT" yma" last Saturday night, the Scholastic early emerging with the bacon, 18-12. What the Scholasties have been doing to the local teams was well known to the local fans, but what they would be able to do against the visitors was almost the monstrous query among them before the game started. Of the APGO league standing had many rosters in that crowd; there were also adherents of the local teams who wished to see them defeated. Shortly after the game had got under way, the Scholasties raised a mighty shout in the gallery by caging a basket. From this time on the teams fought like demons possessed, the backs going in their work both on the floor and in shooting. The half ended with the Scholars leading 11-8. The second half was even faster than the first had been, the Scholasties often hauling the visitors by their rapid teamwork and the visitors throwing a surprise into the locals by fast guard work. In fact it was in guarding that the locals showed best Ellis, Armstrong forward, did some brilliant bidding. Mayje it was the way they guarded it, maybe it was nervousness anyhow, the chosy Scholastics failed to shoot with their usual accuracy. L. U.

Page Fifteen Bacchus Grand Jury Report Hits Cheltenham Reformatory Page Sixteen GRAND JURY URGES CURB ON FLOGGINGS AT CHELTENHAM Body In Report Recommends That Whippings Be Permitted Only in Superintendent's Presence POOR SCHOOLING THERE Boys Said To Be Sent To School Rooms Only When Weather Is Inclement Outside Recommendations that would stop indiscriminate flogging of inmates of the House of Reformation at Cheltenham, Prince George's County and would increase the length of the school term were contained in the report of the Grand Jury submitted to Judge Stein last week. The report urges specifically that in cases where punishment is meted out, if he done only by the superintendent, or in his presence. This action followed an investigation into the brutal beating administered Earl Crowly by one of the guards at Cheltenham last fall. The boys knew the guards spent over a month in the hospital. Poor educational facilities at Cheltenham are also scored in the report, which makes public the fact that juvenile delinquents sent there from school should be sent to school when the weather is inclement outside. In other state institutions for whites, boys get from two to three hours and more schooling per day. Except in the dead of winter, no classes are held. The report declares that the institution already has sufficient calls rooms and should seek the assistance of the State in securing competent teachers. Tuberculosis Patient Not Isolated Isolation of a patient at the institution who is suffering with tuberculosis, which requires a report, which urges that such patients in the future be segregated that there will be no danger of infecting others or be sent to the hospital at Henryton. The use of a common towel for bathing by the boys whereby skin diseases may be spread is called attention to and individual towels for each boy are urged. Convict System Referred To. The convict has outgrown bathing by boys and is transferred to Cheltenshion to surrounding farmers is mentioned in the report, which states, "the management should be relieved of the necessity of hiring boys out and the handicap of the lack of funds." Superintendent Tyles recently declared that he was forced to hire boys out to neighbouring farmers because the State did not appropriate enough funds to run the institution without the assistance of 200 of boys in Cheltenshion at present, 200 of them are from Baltimore City. The MCH school lary report declares that buildings and grounds were well kept and the inmates of apparent good health, with the exception of one tuberculosis patient. No mention was made of the cruel practice of compelling boys in squalls of eight and ten under the direction of a larger boy to clean sticks, leaves and other rubbish from the inmate grounds with their bare hands. The inmates, no rakes are provided the boys, who go over every inch of the grounds around the buildings on hands and knees and using their fingers as rakes remove every leaf, pobble and stick, which is clawed in a pile and later put in a bag held by the older student. Parents of inmates have asked the question, why boys have the time to take the lawn, with their fingers, when it could be done more easily and the boys' time spent in learning to read and write instead. Mental Tests For Malevola The grand jury report on the Industrial School for Girls at Melyale, states that the larger portion of the students in the sewing room on power machines. The segregation of inmates who are run down, predisposed toward tuberculosis, or affected with venereal disease is urged, and the abolishment of the community towel for bathing purposes. The report, the city school system should be asked to cooperate with the institution in making mental tests of all inmates so that those who attend school might be properly graded, and the large number of mental defectives be placed in mental treatment of a portable building for recreation purposes is also recommended.

Call VErnon 6016 THE AFRO-AMERICAN SOUTH'S BIGGEST AND BEST WEEKLY FRIDAY, JANUARY 18 Call VErnon 6017 The Committee on the Maryland House of Reformation for Colored Boys at Chelsea Hall, visited that Institution on November 16th, and was cordially received by the Superintendent, Mr. Pyles. This institution is located on a beautiful farm of 1250 acres of fertile soil, and is housed in several substantial brick structures with a modern barn, and other necessary buildings for the farm. Some 200 boys are cared for, 290 of which are committed from the city. The majority of these boys are hired out to various farmers in the neighborhood, in order to earn the receipts and payments for the institution. Most of the 50 boys are employed by a contractor, manufacturing brooms, and are giving satisfactory service. The buildings and farm are in good order, the dormitories, school, hospital, etc., are being clean, well lighted. Nearly all the boys, excepting those at the broom factory, were out at work on the neighboring farms at the time of our visit, but those we saw were apparently healthy. We were carefully responding to all requirements. The one case of tuberculosis among the inmates is segregated from the dormitories, but not the inventory, thereby endangering the health of the inmates. Vaidl suggest that this be corrected. Owing to the fact that the boys are arrived out to work, they only receive about two months' schooling in a year, during the winter. Arrangement has been made with the Maryland Agricultural College to receive practical instructions in science. We are of the opinion that the $30,000,000 received from the city for the care of 260 boys should be inwardly distributed, as only about $2.88 per week per boy. The management should be relieved of the necessity of farming the boys out, and the handicap of a lack of facilities. We recommend that the inmates predisposed toward or suffering with tuberculosis be segregated in dormitories and where possible at 18-hour intervals. Further, that each inmate be provided with an individual room. We recommend that in cases where punishment is to be imposed out to the superintendent or in his presence. The institution provides at present from one to three months' schooling. Boys are permitted to go to school in winter weather, keep them indoors. Especially the younger boys should be given six months' schooling each year. We suggest that the inmates be housed in State and county authorities in providing competent teachers. Each dormitory is already provided with an adequately equipped class-room so that the biggest room is the provision of a qualified teaching Grand Jury Report on Industrial School for Colored Girls at Melvale We, your committee, appointed to visit the Industrial School for girls at McVale, Baltimore County, desire to make the following report: Under the direction of Saupt, P. S. Furniture, we designed, instructed, designed, sewing room, class-room, kitchen, shower baths, assembly room and laundry and found them to be clean, well-lighted, properly ventilated and in a sanitary condition. The top floor rooms of the old building are, however, in need of painting. The room of the 39 inmates appeared employed in the sewing room on power machines, and all of them secured in good health, comfortable and well-cared for. (1.) We recommend the segregation of those inmates run down, predisposed toward tuberculosis or affected with venous disease, and that they be provided with individual room. (2.) That scientific mental tests be made of all the inmates for the purpose of grading pupils who should attend school and placing the large number of mental defectives in classes to themselves. We would suggest that the city schools system be asked to co-operate in making these mental tests as needed. (3.) That arrangements be made for an additional class-room and an additional teacher. (4.) That precision be made in the present hospital building, or by the erection of a portable building for a recreation hall, to be used in inclement weather. The playground is well located and adequate for fair weather. (5.) Both City and State should increase their per capita allowance for girls sent to this institution so as to enable it to function more efficiently. Respectfully submitted. Respectfully submitted. A.

PULLED FIRE ALARM TO SEE ENGINES RUN FAST Emmanuel Whittington, age 12, was arrested at School No. 118 and held for the Juvenile Court when he admitted that he had turned in a false alarm to the engines run. About 1:15 Monday, Engino Co. No. 118 reported that there was a fire at 114 Argyle avenue. A response revealed the fact that there was no fire in the vicinity. An investigation was made by Lieut. Rudell and Officer Smith of the Northwestern Police District in which it was found that the call came from 114 Argyle avenue where confronted with the charge he confessed making the false call. Professor Fudge Says: City's Gay Life Makes Ga. Wife Desert Hubby Segregation Some few years past, if a stranger wanted to find the colored settlement in most any town or city, he had to do one of two things, namely: either go across the railroad track or find the red light district. Wherever there was dirt, fifth, vice or prostitution could also be located the colored American. It was not a matter of choice it was the best he could do. But times have changed. Like all the wideawake Americans the Negroes have been bettering their conditions until at the present they have finally settled themselves with few of the comfortable and decent things of life. In Baltimore, for instance, you can find the great numbers of colored people living in clean homes, on clean streets, in clean neighborhoods with fairly good moral conditions prevailing, there are many still believe the white people would rather live in the red district. This is true as was shown two weeks ago when the Madison Avenue Protective Association or some equally indiscretely named organization, appeared upon the scene of action. Madison Avenue Improvement Association This Madison Avenue organization is built especially for the purpose of keeping colored people from moving into the red light district. Madison Avenue is a place to understand the organization an an exclusive red light district with all colored Americans without the pale. It is the purpose of this organization to build a legal fence around this street that will keep Sandie out. We have known for decades that bodies be bound and have bitterly assailed them but this is the first time to my knowledge that "sweet walkers," "snow birds," "common prostitutes," "confidence men," "bawdy keepers," and "oddy species" "rats" have and the nerve to make a squawk and what is to live on them. In this case, however, it is unfortunate. These people have not only had the nerve to make a "snapwah" but have had the audacity to form an organization with the purpose of which to enforce some citizens' rights of the state from exercising perfectly legal right to purchase property in any place or section they may desire. While I am positive there are still some decent, respectable white people living on Madison avenue, yet I maintain that any organization with the joint authority of residents of the street, for the courts and the public but has not a chance in the world to foot the police department. Why Live In Madison Avenue? But someone will ask, who do colored people want to move on Madison avenue? To which I would answer, there are many reasons. First of all, there are some fine houses on Madison avenue, and if some decent colored people can move into those houses before the presidents appear, despair them with the scent of garlic, bop, cills and other slop, dirt and garbage, then the community will be forced. Secondly, because the people living on McCutchin street, in the rear of Madison avenue, would like to have some relief from the night and mariner performances enacted in the rear of the house on sale, because thirdly, because colored people have the joy and the desire to live there and if they can find a purchase that is all that is necessary. Woman 'Shoots Man. Miss Alice Peard, 921 Watson street, is being held at the Central Police Station, charged with shooting William Schofield, 122g Mullien street. The pair quarrelled over love affairs, it is said, and later Miss Schofield followed him and fired several times, two of which took effect. She will be held pending the outcome of the shooting. City's Gay Life Ga. Wife Joshua Pitman Asks Police T And Bring Her Back Because his wife does not want him since she has seen some of the life of Baltimore, Joshua Pittman, 1024 N. Vincent street, asked the police to make her come back to town this week. big to his story she has taken up with a woman who showed her a good time and taught her how to stay out nights and drink things stronger than one per cent, and notwithstanding his urgent persuasion she will not. The same came to Baltimore some time ago from Georgia. Until their arrival here they had lived a peaceful, happy life, he said. Asked by officers if he did not think there was a man in the case, Pit- Is First Contributor To Gibbons Institute Edward N. Colbert, of Washington, D. C. who made the first donation to the Cardinal Gibbons Institute, has announced his intention of adding to this first donation, which he made a total of $100. The land for the school, as has already been announced, was purchased by the late Cardinal. This donation is the first of the cash received for the building fund now being collected and with the building will be built this summer. A Call From The President Major Brooks, who was taken for a representative of a foreign government while on his trip with President Harding in Alaska, has again leaked into the newspapers, Mr. Brooks has had the misfortune to be sick in bed and the good fortune to have flowers sent him every day from the White House. On top of this he has been paid a visit by the chief executive. Quite an honor. No one, not even the Ku Klux Klan, could criticise the President for visiting one of his employees while sick in bed. I must bound the same eleven million dark skinned brothers feel endearced to him. I don't believe this was premeditated just because the election is just around the corner but I will bet my last dollar Mr. Brooks was much better the next day, if the shock was not too great for him. After Midnight. Getting A Doctor I am aware of the fact that a doctor does not have to get up out of his warm bed four clock in the morning to answer a question. I am advised by the Grand Jury for not coming. It is simply an optional matter with him. If he must have the dough or is in want the likelihood is he will grab his bag and go to it. But the condition of medical doctors is very good. One night last week the porter in a certain hotel called fourteen doctors to come to the hotel and attend to a very sick lady. Three more doctors did not have their names in the telephone book as of course, the clerk of the office. One four would not answer the phone at all, five were out on confinement cases, one admitted he could not come out at that hour, one said he had just taken a hot bath and would not take a chance on eating cold, one wanted to prescribe, over the phone, and two were to know of their regular customers, and on being told she was an out of town guest, hung up the receiver and went back to bed. The next night another lady was taken sick in the same hotel at a late hour and eight more physicians were called upon and as before all declined in favor of the I would suggest to the Medical Association that at their next meeting they inform the public just what kind of a trick one has to do to get a doctor after twelve o'clock at night. S. R. O. Sign at Douglass I could not finish up to day with out calling attention to the fact that the dougless Theatre is really trying to be something. During the engagement of Dinah the standing room only sign was bung out on two occasions. It is quite true Dinah is a great show and boasts of quite a number of stars, but even at that Standing Room Only signs in the Dougless must cause some comment. Do Do Green Comedian. Speaking of stars, I must call attention to Do Do Green, one of the conditions. Do Do Green is supposed to represent a certain kind of a character that runs wild around the Mississippi River. Do Do might not be the one in the country, but he is stopping down good one. He is of the slow bod type, he lives in a hurry and always tries to lay down or go to sleep or both. The type as portrayed by him fits so many people who are not down on the levee, and is so true to life he is likely to have the same effect upon the shifter as that old song known, " everybody Works." That song could have caused more people to go to work than all the other influences put together. Do Do is a knock out. man answered that he was sure there was no man yet. It is a woman that has tempted her to leave go having a gay time, he said. When told by the officers that she could not be made to live with him if she did not want to do so, Pitman stated that he would do the best he could for the children, but that he wanted his wife back. 20 IN TRAFFIC COURT 20 IN TRAFFIC COURT laws drew fines in Judge Naylor's Court this week.

Clark are the respective principals. The other high schools include ones at Frederick, Cumberland, Annapolis, Pomonkey, Havre de Grace, Easton, Cambridge and Salisbury. These institutions are reaching a large number of students who would otherwise be deprived of the opportunity of getting an education beyond that offered in the secondary county schools. The attendance in the colored elementary schools in the counties has increased by 3,300, according to a recent report of Prof. Albert S. Cook, the State Superintendent, Governor Ritchie's budget, now before the Legislature, contains a recommendation that $90,000 be appropriated to replace the administration building at the State Normal School at Dawie, destroyed by fire. The budget also urges the appropriations of a similar sum for a kitchen and dining room at the State Normal School for whites at Towson. The State solos are also asked to grant $10,000 for additional dormitory facilities at Towson. Administration building costing $206,000 is proposed for the new normal school for whites at Sallisbury.

Age Editor Over-enthusiastic in Recent Statements Concerning Printing and Publishing AFRO IS THE LARGEST Twenty-Four Workers Needed Each Week to Turn Paper Out Mr. Fred R. Moore, editor of the New York Age, grew overly enthusiastic when he said in a recent issue that the journal is the only one in the country with an anti-Negro staff that is printed on its own press.

Twenty four men and women are employed in its editorial and management and bake shop, and there are for several more conscientious and capable workers.

Stricker street, and injuring her 4-year-old son, William. Friday morning. He died next day. About 11:55 a.m., after Mrs. Hayden had finished her breakfast, she decided to go in her basement kitchen to make a fire. Just as she was about to open the store to put in some more fuel, the frozen water pipe leading from the store to the basement water sputtering over the store, causing the flames to rush out and ignite her hair and clothing. Frightened, Mrs. Hayley ran to the stairway screening and attracted the attention of her sick mother, Mrs. Mary Hopper, who struggled to the steps only to find her daughter in flames. Mrs. Hopper grabbed some clothes and was nearly and throw them on her daughter in order to smother the blaze. William, a four-year-old son, ran to his mother's rescue and was also badly burned. Mrs. Hopper was so burned that her son burning, accustomed for help, the cries were heard by Mrs. Elizabeth Tommas, next door, who, with her son, Chamney, ran in the house to the rescue of the fire victims.

All were sent to the Colonial hospital, where Mrs. Hayden was pronounced dead, her son, William, in a serious condition and Chamney was taken to a few bars on his face and hands.
