We come as the representatives not only of those who sign this petition, but we are the spokesman of the sentiments, the hopes, the sorrows, too, of the more than ten million colored citizens of the United States. The petition asks for the pardon of those on four grounds; the excellent previous record for discipline, service and soldiery conduct of the Twenty-fourth Infantry. 2. The provocation of local animosity against these men because of their race and color, which was manifested in insults, threats and acts of aggression against these colored soldiers wearing uniforms of the United States Army and waiting to be sent to France to fight. 3. The heavy punishment meted out to members of the Twenty-fourth Infantry, of whom nineteen were hanged, them ten from summarily and without right of appeal to the Secretary of War or to the President, their Commander-in-Chief. 4. The exemplary conduct of the men as prisoners.

JURY TAKES AND HOUR TO BRING IN VERDICT "He Probably Ruined My Daughter for Life" Wails Anguished Mother Testimony of Physicians Bears Out Her Story of Crime Charged with brutally assaulting 11 year old Julia Thornton, 832 Tessier Street, a parochial school girl, after he had called her into the barber shop of his father, on December 9th, William Johnson, age 19, a barber, was found guilty by a jury in Part 2 of the Criminal Court Wednesday. The chief witness against Johnson when he went on trial, was the Thornton girl, who told the story of the tragedy that her mother says will probably ruin her life. Girl Tells Story There was tense silence when Julia was called to the stand and in her story told how she in company with another small girl, was passing the barber shop owned by the father of the accused on Pennsylvania avenue, when he called her to the door of the place. As she stepped to the door he took hold of her and after forcing her to the door of the place of the criminals abused her. When she entered, she said, he locked the door and threatened her with death if she made known what had happened. In fear she stated that she went to her home and it was not until physical symptoms showing the presence of an infectious disease made their appearance a few days later that the mother of the girl learned the story of the crime. On complaint of the mother, Johnson was arrested and following a hearing at the Northwestern Police station, held for the Criminology department, during the charges of the girl, medical examination made by Dr. Sullivan, one of the City examining physicians, showed that Johnson's physical condition tailed with the story told by the girl. Ruined Daughter, Says Mother Mrs. Mamie Jenefer, mother of the girl, stated on the witness stand that shortly after the affair an examination of the child showed not only that she had been brutally mutilated but that she had been raped by the girl for 100 hours of disease. She is still under treatment. In his own defense, Johnson denied having abused the girl, at first denying that he had ever seen her, according to the testimony of Officer Leach of the Northwestern Police Department. Commissioner Mitted that the girl was in his place on the Sunday in question, but stated that she came of her own volition and that when he repulsed her attention, she then told that story of the alleged outrage. After deliberating for an hour, the jury brought in a verdict guilty to rape, a finding in a child under the age of 14 years, against Johnson. Sentence was suspended by Judge Frank.

She had been missing since Monday, January 23th, when she left the place where she was employed to go to the store and that was the last that was heard of her until her body was discovered this afternoon by Ned Hackett. The girl had been accustomed to leaving her place of employment and going to her home and returning to work after a fe wdays.

AUCTION BLOCK FOR WHITELAW HOTEL AUCTION BLOCK FOR WHITELAW HOTEL Washington's Leading Hotel to be Sold to Pay Debt of $135,000 Friday Owner Member of Coxey's Army, Hod Carrier and Bank President Washington, D. C., Feb. 5. With the Whitelaw advertised to be sold at public auction on Friday, February 8, strenuous efforts are being made to raise a sufficient sum of money to satisfy creditors, avert a sale and thereby prevent the stockholders from losing their entire investment. Doubtful That such can be done is doubtful. The Whitehawk Apartment House Company, the corporation which owns and operates this hotel, is in a precarious financial condition. There has been a steady pyramid of trusts on this property until today there are five outstanding, some of which are past due. There has been an effort to renance the whole proposition. Nearly $150,000 would have been to have done this, and no realers are willing to lend were willing to make the loan, although the income on this property averages $30,000 a year. The hotel, located on the southeast, corner of Thirteenth and T streets, is being sold to satisfy a first trust of $65,000 held by Wilcox and Hume. It is said that these trustees foreclosed in order to protect their interests, as Hobbs and Bryce were about to foreclose to satisfy the second trust which they hold. The second trust there is approximately a balance of $13,000 past due. Unsecured Loans Besides these first and second trusts, there are three others. There is a third trust for $10,000 held by Gaskins and Hunt. A fourth trust for $5,000 is held by the Industrial Savings Bank, of which John W. Lewis, the president of the Whitlow Apartment House Company president. The fifth trust is for $5,000 also and is held jointly by Whitefield McKinley and the Industrial Savings Bank. Including interest the total amount of indebtedness which is secured by trusts, amounts to $110,000 approximately. There are also quite a number of unsecured loans on this property. These loans, or rather some of them, are evidenced by notes. They range from $50 to $1,000. The approximate total of such loans is $25,000. There are some of which there is no record, it is believed. Popular Stopping Place The Whitewater Hotel is one of the best known hostels owned and operated by colored people in the United States. It is the stopping place of most prominent persons in the United States. It was opened in 1919. The estimated cost was $165,000. Its present market value is said to be $250,000; but no one believes that it will bring at public auction more than $150,000 or a sufficient amount to pay all the money. Lowin has had a checkered career. He first came to Washington with Coxey's army. He became president of the Hod Carriers' Union. Then he built the Whitewater Hotel and organized the Whitewater Apartment House Company to demonstrate the capacity to lay down and build things. He also established the Industrial Savings Bank and was its president. His methods, however, soon got him in bad. He was ousted from the presidency of the bank. He became of lesser importance in the management of hotel, although all the presidents of Whitewater Apartment House Company. LATEST NEWS Twin Girl Fights Sister and Mother for Possession of Third Interest in Home Schilfers "Bride of Messina" is founded upon the old Italian story that there is no hatred in the world so bitter as that between twin brothers. Unawares of her identity they fight for the right to marry their sister, and all three perish. Here is a modern version where twins fall out and hate even their mother into court to settle their rights to a piece of property which cost $5,000. Washington, Feb. 6.—A sister won a verdict in the Supreme District Court against her twin and mother last week. It was the case of Mrs. Valerie Turner Savoy against her mother, Mrs. Hortense Turner, of this city, and her twin sister, Mrs. Vermell Turner White, wife of Dr. White, of Salisbury, Md., who sued for a third interest in their joint homestead at 1755 You street, northwest. The three purchased the home for $5,000 sometime ago, and dividing it into flats either rented them out or lived in it herself. When internal troubles developed, it is said, because the mother gave one of the daughters $1,000 for a wedding gift, Mrs. Savoy brought suit to have the property sold and thereby force a settlement. The case on both sides was bought out to the bitter end until Judge Bailey upheld the right of Mrs. Turner to a settlement. All three parties refrained from using the title sister or mother, referring to each other as "Mrs." WHO ARE THE TEN GREATEST Oxford, Pa., Feb. 5.—The American Federation of Negro Students, I. J. K.

M. If You Are In Favor of the Petition Printed Below Sign the Coupon and Forward it to T. J. Calloway, Chr., 628 N. Eutaw Street, Baltimore, Md. The Governor and The Legislature of the State of Maryland: Gentlemen: We respectfully ask your consideration of the following: 1. Housing exists between members of the same group seems to be needed at this corrective institution. 5. Health The erection of the tuberculosis hospital at Henryton provides a long felt need. We sug- Negroes who are content to live in congested alleys and the neglected spots of our cities and towns are CHARGED with maintaining beds of crime and disease dangerous to the public welfare. Those of our citizens who suffer from such conditions of living and seek to buy or rent homes with sanitary provisions, on streets that have sewers, lights and pavements are CHARGED with invading white neighborhoods where they are unwelcome residents. Attempts to build better homes in colored sections in the city require such equitable help from financial institutions. We believe that all efforts, by legislation or decree, to hold back the progress of our people through limiting the territory in which Negroes may reside are so inhumently malicious that a majority of the white citizens of our State will never agree to the program. The civil effects of such a program would by no means be limited to the colored people. 2. Farm Life That the Negro population is a valuable asset to the agriculture of Maryland is proven by the effects of the emigration of our people from sections further south. There is little under leadership and training can be provided there seem to be a great opportunity to make Southern Maryland, through its Negro labor, a producer of a much larger share of the food for the north-eastern section of the district training agents should be employed to instruct any work with Negro farmers. 3. Education We do not challenge the proposition of separate schools for white and colored children. It is a policy and practice of the State that is fully established. The increased cost of education due to the dual system should not work to the hardship of Negro students. South Carolina education funds should have the courage to spend equally for the white and colored child. Each must meet the same tests in adult life. No one works harder than the colored teacher and with greater handicaps. Her pay should be equal to that of the white teacher doing the same work. Opportunities for higher education beyond the elementary grades has improved in recent years. South Carolina state expect Maryland maintains a college or university for the higher education of Negroes. Maryland should either provide such an institution or throw open the doors of Maryland University to Negro youth. 4. Cheltanham Following the State policy of Negro teachers for Negro youth we believe that many of the abuses that exist at Chelanham pointed out in a recent grand jury report would be corrected.

Health The erection of the tuberculosis hospital at Henryton provides a long felt need. We suggest that the State Board of Health put into operation such machinery as the polio vaccine and prevention of disease and to gather at this hospital those affected. 6. Police The observance of laws regulations is founded upon respect for law. If the colored population of our State could feel the greater interest that would flow from seeing some members of their race on the police force the result would be in community known as North Brentwood. Prince George's County, Maryland, where a colored man is serving as a law officer, a most radical improvement has taken place. This man arrested his own son for some offense. He offered a serving notice on others that there would be no compromising with offenders. 7. Jim Crowism Informed separation of members of the human family as a program of adjustment has been resorted to since the beginning of history. There is no record that it has ever worked to any profit. Whatever excuse there may be for it under other conditions there can be no reasons for it as applied to the Negroes of Maryland. We are having citizens. We have no record as amurcals, conspiring against us, organized against the crimes of our race are universally the crimes of ignorance, mental, deficiency or disease. Their treatment must be by education, religion and opportunity. Enforced segregation, or Jim Crowism, on railroad trains and street cars do not help the white man or the colored man. It imposes an added burden upon transportation lines, thus routing to limit the comforts and conveniences which we might otherwise provide for their passengers. Maryland should have the courage and justice to wipe from its, statute books all such restrictions upon a free commerce of its citizens. Therefore, We Petition. Therefore, we petition. The Governor and the Legislature of the State of Maryland to appoint an unpaid commission of white and colored citizens for the purpose of studying the needs of the poor and the others relative thereto and of making such recommendations as they may feel justified for the good of all.

From Shady Side to a headliner on the bill of the Columbia, Eurelique Circuit is a big jump, but Johnny Hugdins, a 36th Stricker Street, has made it and still wears the same size hat. A dozen years ago Johnny used to entertain at Kiry's Park, Shady-Side, during the summer months and in winter at Smith's Hotel. He was an eager theatregoer and hard-working burglar, she said. Old Holiday Street theatre. He had no dream that like Bill Williams he would one time come back to his city at the Palace, successor to the old Holiday Street Theatre and get a riot of applause with his comic stuff, his funny shuffle and eccentric dancing. The rest of the company usually twitches with the show. She joying off this week on account of illness. Over 500 were turned away Monday night. Down at the Alcoa office, yesterday, Johnny explained how he got on to that shuffle. "It was down in Fort Wayne, Indiana," he said, and Johnny Hugdins usually something and to get out of the way of a prop. I did a cross between a walk and a run sidewise. It caught the audience as funny, and somebody back stage said 'Oh look at that new step Johnny's got.' I paid attention then and at the evening performance tried without success to duplicate that step. Next morning he was down at ten o'clock and kept experimenting until I got it back." It is in the circus scene, that Johnny makes his biggest hit. During a considerable part of the performance, he has declared "I'm drunk," but when he agrees to stand up, he is followed by Melo, who can juggle throws knives to outline his profile, his exclamation "I'm sober" just about halts the whole works. At that Johnny does no "Uncle Tom" stuff, and in this respect differs from a number of blackface comedians. This is his ninth year with the Columbia Circuit, and he sticks ntho he has been made of by Shuffle Along, who is by Shuffle Along, beginning versals of the "1925 Shuffle" when it is to take the place of "Shuffle Along" and maybe succeed "Running Wild" on Broadway. "Running Wild" has two big hits, Johnny declares, "Open Your Heart" and "Old Pushoned Love." Shuffle Along has two big song hits, big scenes as a number of expensive movies, and now 1:4 "Shuffle" also written by Shuffle and Blake, is a knockout, and will go over big. Next week Johnny will be at the Gayetty Theatre in Washington.

COMMON LAW MARRIAGE~ is a marriage not solemnized in the ordinary way but created by a mutual agreement to marry and is designated in law books and by counsel as a "common law marriage".

On this cold-blooded, practical nature of ours is the so-called sufficiency of our experience, both the rightfulness and the civil-doer shall receive his just deserts—or is it only in the imagination of authors that this Utopian state of affairs exists? A very loud and persistent chorus of pessimists and cynics loudly and emphatically proclaims that the more deplorable answer to this vital question is the only one that is true to life. But are they correct and justified in this assertion? If we rigidly adhere to the straight and narrow path to rectitude will our only weakness be bestowed in Heaven. But fortunately this is not the wall of the column house and gloom monger, those unfortunate whose vision is warped and distorted and who can only see the thorns on life's pathway and never the roses. In taking this attitude they assume that existence upon this plane is all wrong and therefore infor that the Creator is at fault. While the reward of both the righteous and the wrongdoer may not in some instances be swift, it is simply come. You may sin—but you can't get away with it. This great fundamental truth is vividly examined in "The Common Law," a picturization of a popular novel of the same name which will be shown at the Roosevelt Theatre next week. Another Colored Act Coming to Palace The Four Dancing Devils, one of the best known colored dancing arts in burlesque, will be a feature of "Temptations of 1924," which is booked at the Palace Theatre. Fayette street, Burrow, all next week, the regular matinee performances will be given daily. The Four Dancing Devils have never before been seen in Baltimore. Two men and two women comprise this act, which is the fastest one on the American stage. Each of the dancers will give a specialty number and the four will dance together. "Temptations of 1924" is a brand new show. Bunny Murphy, the show comedian, has been seen before. He has many admirers among patrons of the Palace Theatre. Glee Club Coming The choir of Sharp Street Memorial Church has a treat in store for the music lovers of the city when they present the Howard University Glee Club, of Worcester, D. E. At the time the club will appear, Mr. Talladge Major, baritone and Mr. Ernest Hiley, tenor, soloists. Under the masterful direction of Prof. Roy W. Tibbs, this organization is said to be the peer of any college organization. Surely this affair will rival any recital heard in the city for quite a while.

Feature vaudeville will complete the bill. RED CIRCLES BUSY The "Y" Red Circle put three more opponents out of the way when they lowered the colors or the Yellow Circle, 19 to 13. Whirlwind Five, 13 to 6, and also the colors of the Buddy A. C., $2 to 3. Wednesday's game was lacrosse, the circle showed lack of practice, but after the first half they got the old pop back. Thursday night they defeated the Whirlwind Five. Both teams guarded well, causing the low score. Henderson, Ireland and Campbell scored the only points for the Whirlwinds. Campbell showed very well the sportsmanship he lauded the referee on the floor. No other bad sportsmanship was noticed. Friday night was a cinch for the Reds. The Ruddy A. C. received what the Reds call the championship of high point making in the "Y" Gym. They got so disgusted "till they walked on the floor. But they were encouraged to play on and they did continue. Gilmore starred for the "Y" Red Circle, shooting 21 goals on. On December 20th, 2016 they will胜利 in Reliance team. 85 pounds, state tennis (white). Inter-City Battle.

Dowie, Md., Feb. 6.—In a letter to Governor Ritchie forwarded this week, Principal L. S. James, of the Normal School, has requested that the item of $27,100 lopped off the appropriation for the school by the Governor be restored when he makes out his supplemental budget. With the letter was the following statement: "The State Board of Education requested $100,000 for an Administration bonding at Bowle Normal School. This requested amount was cut by the Governor for the purpose of making the total allowed by him $90,000. This cut is not considered serious because it is believed that a very creditable bonding can be constructed with such a sum of money. "But the effects of the governor's cut in the appropriation for the school for 1923-25-27 are more serious. The amount appropriated for running expense of the school for 1923-24 was $67,757. Of this amount $63,714 was spent in 1924 alone. With this fact in mind the State Board of Education requested $102,190 for the running expense of Bowle Normal School for 1923-25-27. Its allowance required that amount to $75,000.00, making an aggregate deduction of $27,100.00." Items Named Specially Specifically the items lopped off and wished removed are as follows: (NOTE)—This budget is for the next 3 years. This amount is to be spent for a teacher of music and physical training. At present our home教练会 attempts to do all of this work alone. $3,000—An additional teacher of Methods in the Normal department will be needed after this year. We will have two classes in this department in 1925. $3,000—A man who can as Manual Training teacher and give special assistance in the management of the outside work of the school plant will be secured with this amount. $2,000 already allowed. Added expense for food, due to increased enrollment, is the cause of this larger request. $2,309-$1,290 already allowed. The purpose of this request is to replace the library that was lost with the building that was destroyed by fire October, 1922. At present we do not have a library. $5,000—This amount is asked for 1925, only to install a new sewage disposal plant as requested by the State Board of Health.

MARY'S Letter of Communicants to Mother Church Asking For Colored Rector Remains Unanswered. Only City Church Where Giving of Fairs and Entertainments is Forbidden. Efforts of a group of communicants in St. Mary's P. E. Church to secure a colored rector have so far proved unavailing. Some time last year, a committee addressed a letter to the bishop of the diocese sitting their desire to be served by a colored priest, declaring it would mean better progress. They were referred to the clergy of Mt. Calvary Church, of which St. Mary's is a mission. A subsequent letter to the Mt. Calvary clergy has so far remained unanswered, it became known today. Application of a colored priest when it was vacant recently was turned down by the mother church. The Church Advocate published today gives the following history of St. Mary's Church: which for 20 years has been a mission church of the history, and served by white priests named by the mother church; Established in 1867 "In 1867, about forty of the younger members of St. James First African Church, under the leadership of Mason, and William H. Bishop, organized, over a food store, on Howard opaque Centre street, St. Philip's Mission. This mission continued as such until evening in May, 1873. At the service held that evening, the late Rev. Dr. Calebrath R. Perry, officiated and preached. The mission, that night, followed Sunday evening, in a building corner of Pennsylvania avenue and St. Mary's street, the same persons who had constituted St. Philip's Mission. was organized, the Mary Chapel of St. Mary the Virgin. First Pastor Colored The Rev. Harrison H. Webb, who, on account of increasing infirmity, had assigned the rectorate of St. James' Church, in the neighborhood of the Mission. Most of those who constituted this mission had been baptized by Mr. Webb in their infirmity, consequently he was much interested in its success. Mrs. Rebecca Webb, the wife of the Rev. Mr. Webb, had, formerly, lived in the family of Miss Elizabeth Webb, and the appreciation which Miss Oliver sustained for there, influenced her to become the host factor of this mission, and thus, when the present Chamber of St. Marie's was enlarged and reconstituted, the great service of the Webbs was most fitting memorialized. One of the imposing Sanctuaries was erected to the memory of the Rev. Harrison H. Webb, who, while the once marble stone leading up to the Altar, were dedicated to the memory of Rebecca Webb, his wife. Woman Gives Property. In a doctal, bearing date November 17, 1875, Miss Oliver presented the property, "for the purpose of the African race in the city of Baltimore." Elizabeth Oliver doth grant and convey unto the Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Diocese of Washington. This instrument continues: "Sid's property shall never be sold under any circumstances, and that if it always be used, it shall be sold to the needle of the African race, the worship and services to be according to the doctrines, rites and ceremonies of the Protestant Church of America." She also stipulates that all the seats shall be free. Fairs Not Permitted Continuing, the instrument says: "That the money for the support of the services, and for the persons, maintenance, improvement and heating the building, or for any purpose whatsoever connected with the congregation, he supplied by persons interested in the work; that the money for the building shall not be raised by means of fairs, basket ruffles, or entertainments of any description, nor by subscriptions soliciting memorials for persons whether belonging to the congregation or not." Mt. Calvary in Charge "The said property and the entire charge and control of the services of said church are hereby entrusted to the care of Madhon and Eutaw streets, so long as they provide a clergyman to conduct the services in said chapel. And it shall be the duty of said clergyman to report annually to the Bishop of the state of the property and the fulfilment of the aforesaid conditions." If the said clergy shall fall at any time for the period of six months to provide a clergyman to conduct services in said church, or fall forfeit the care of said prop- spective clergy, the said clergy shall be required to provide the care of the said prop- spective clergy.

UNION OF BAPTISTS SEEMS ASSURED Two Wings of Denomination Here Unanimously Adopt Resolution Calling for Coming Together. JOINT SESSION MONDAY Plan is to Name Temporary Officers and Send Out Committee on Constitution. tion. Way was paved in ministers' meetings Monday for the union of two wings of the local Baptists. The Baptist Ministers' Union meeting at Calvary Baptist Church almost unanimously voted to unify the Union which meets weekly at Union Baptist Church. The president, Rev. A. J. Greene, pastor of First Baptist Church, presided; Rev. Junius Gray, of Palm Beach, offered the motion. Similar action was taken at the Union Baptist meeting and committees of each body were sent to inform the other of the motion taken. The church addresses in both groups, ministers have arranged a joint session at the Calvary Baptist Church next Monday, when the cause of union will be furthered. Under the present plan, the church will organize a temporary organization with temporary officers and send out a committee to draw up the constitution. A public meeting to advocate the union body is planned for the week following. REV. ROBERT H. GREEN A. The much beloved pastor of St. Matthew Memorial M. E. Church, East 23rd street. Services of dedication were held in the new church last Sunday, in which the following ministers participated: Rev. B. de la Fayette; Rev. Bishop John E. S.

STORY OF MAGDA-LENE OMITTED (Lincoln News Service) In the "American Translation of the New Testament," by Dr. Edward J. Godspeed, professor of Biblical Greek at the University of Chicago, the eightth edition of the Gospels is sent to St. John, has been omitted. This is the story of Magdalen, the woman taken in adultery, arrested by officers by force. The associates of Dr. Godspeed, two of whom wrote in 1907, "A Life of Christ," agree with him that the story is of doubtful origin because no mention is made of Magdalen in the important manuscripts. The next thing we know, some of these professors, will cut out of the Bible the entertaining story of Jonah, and will substitute for Simeon, the black, who carried the cross for Jesus. The claim that the writings of the New Testament are forgeries and that they are the purported authors of those whom they were ascribed is on a par, in its effect, of denying the inspiration of the scriptures, with the teachings of many of our present day theologians, called "Modernists," who are preaching from **LEAD ME TO** The Original Cantata, Christian's P will be dreaded LEADENHALL ST.

Monday that the Baltimore Annual Conference called to meet three days during Easter Week, will adjourn before Sunday, brought forth a project from Roy W. Coston. This is my first knowledge of the desire of Bishop Johnson to shorten on the session of the annual conference, its duration is fixed by the law, and it has always been requested to hold the sessions over one Sunday. Discipline of the church referred to by Rev. Dr. Cotton is as follows: Every Session of the Annual Conference shall be held at least one week. The annual conference of the Baltimore district is this year the fifth annual Church. Washington, Rev. C. E. Stewart is the entertaining pastor. Other speakers at the ministers' meeting declare that the conference session was being shortened to get back to their charges for Easter Sunday. The near approach of the general conference of the church was given at the short annual conference session. Rev. J. E. Loe declared that even under the law as stated in the discipline, every conference had the right to fix the length of its own session. 92 CONVERTS AT SHARP STREET Sharp Street Memorial M. E.

Mrs. Lillian Lottie, president, publishes throughout the country that Jesus was not of virgin birth. Of Christian church had its origin with the birth of Christ and it has survived through all of the persecution from without and through all of the persecution of the heavens of reformation from within. There has been no greater force in civilization, so effectively it has guided and shaped it, and it is probably important that disrupting influences from within the church are now seeking to desecrate instruction and be confronted through the centuries of his development.

Pastor, Mr. Win Price, President Presiding Elders Report Large Churches Do Not Have All the Difficul- ties To Meet. PETER H. HARRIS SMALLER CHURCHES HARDER TO MANAGE PASTORS IMPOSED ON of Janitor and Fireman. All the difficulties in church work are not confined to the larger churches, according to the reports of presiding elders made at the weekly preschools meeting held at Bother Church on Monday. Smaller churches also have problems. Rev. C. H. Stepton, presiding elder of the Baltimore District, reported that in some cases he found janitors were employed and paid for the churches, but the price was less than the fee to make the difference and clean the church building before services could be held. In some cases, Dr. Stepton said he had to pay the janitors the fee his sister and saw the latter when he came cleaning up the church. The attitude is there that "If the pastor wants to hold a service, then let him get the building ready." At another rural church, Dr. Steppeau said, the pastor was forced to go out and cut wood for the parsonage. Dr. Steppeau declared he advised the trustees of that parsonage that the bishop to look after the spiritual needs of the community, and that it was the business of the church to provide him with the necessities of life. Some Churches Not Insured. Churches not Insured, providing elder of the Patronate priest, called attention to the need of rural churches making sure that the church building and parsonage was insured and the deeds for both building and ground put away in a place for set-keeping. Many churches have been deceased because dead or deprived trustees have lost it or carried it away. At a recent quarterly conference, Dr. Norris said he had urged the member to call the Hall, Md., to insure their church and parsonage. This was not done, he said, and the parsonage burned down recently, destroying the building, the furniture and the parsonage. Bowie, the pastor. Appeals of this pastor for aid were received by local pastors this week.

Edley, who belonged to the faction favorable to the former pastor, is alleged to have broken a lock and was fassoned by other officials. He had been fassoned by other officials. The dove of peace has since set down on the church and the two sides represented by Attys. Ephram Jackson and J. Stewart Davis, decided to be buried. The court ordered by the court.

Over 59% of the games will be this one, which could be easily **fubbed** if the games are held in the spring. Latrobe Cogswell, president of the committee, is favorable to the change. DEFENDERS TRIM "Y" 37-27 On Saturday night, February 2, the Community House Defenders trimmed the "Y" Big Five on their own court by a score of 37 to 27.

However, the "Defenders" opened up in the second half, scoring 19 points while the Big Five only scored 8 points. Irlton, Lawrence Brown, Chase, Harvey Brown, and Ireland, after playing the first half came back in the last few minutes of the game and opened up a whirlwind attack which the Big Five could not stop. Hayes, Langley and Wesley, scoring for the "Y" were replaced by Jones, Johnson, Glover and Louis, but the Defenders could not be stopped. Craig, Bruce, Hammond and Clay also surprised the "Y" with their ability to hold the Big Five almost scoreless for a period of eight minutes. The game ended with Craig tossing the ball in the bottomless basket making the score 37.27 in favor of the Defenders. This is the first season for the Defenders. The team is composed of youngsters averaging 17 years old and 15 years old, the team of the Sharp Street Memorial Community House and are under the supervision of Johnson O. Smith.

This lasted until the thirty-ninth lap half mile still to go.

REGULAR SHIPMENTS OF Real ALAGA Cane Syrup XLAGA SYRUP Aluminum Gumbo Syrup Co. Regular shipments of Real ALAGA Cane Syrup are now being received in Baltimore right from where the Sugar Cane grows. It is going fast to make "Real Joy" with Hot Cakes and Hot Bread for those who know its quality; Persons of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida and Alabama especially prefer it over all other syrups; and can tell you about the "goodness" of Real ALAGA Cane Syrup. Then too for fancy baking and candy making it has no equal. ALAGA Cane Syrup is the entire juice of the Sugar Cane plant bottled down to syrup. With nothing added, except a very small portion of syrup to prevent sugaring in the can. The quality is therefore near that of maple syrup at only half the price, but with a very different flavor.

To the Editor: If your issue of January 25, 1924 is to be believed, I am a swallowing who would favor segregation in the presence of white men. Those who know me know that your stand is absolutely false without a word from me. But because you have every right to believe your statement, if we allowed it to pass unchallenged, and because your article is damaging not only to me, but to my children, we have investigated and are ready with the facts. Since your article under question is built around a conversation which I am supposed to have had with a Mr. Studebaker on January 18, and since Mr. Studebaker is the only man mentioned in that part of your article that damages at this time only Mr. Studebaker's statement on this matter. February 4, 1924. This is to certify that the statement made by the Afro-American of January 25, 1924, to the effect that I had had a conversation with I, M. theta, M. d. at the University, is plausibly without foundation and untrue. To my personal knowledge, I have never seen Dr. theta before and have never spoken to him a any time or any place before to night in my life. OVERCOME BY GAS.

From the wave of segregation hysteria sweeping over the city there has emerged a jim crow bill to separate the races on the street cars. Representative Noon, probably a naturalized Irishman, who hails from South Baltimore, has introduced a jim crow bill in the present session of the State Legislature. The bill would give conductors in charge of street cars such police powers as to allow them to designate separate sections of the cars for white and colored people, and it is said, is so drawn as to cause the street car company such little expense that they may not actively oppose it. This means that colored politicians and organizations must bring every influence available to bear upon the Legislature to kill the bill. When everywhere in this country real statesmen are making earnest efforts to banish race and class antagonism it is unfortunate that the State Legislature should be afflicted with men of such short vision and poor calibre as Mr. Noon. Because fertilizer plants in South Baltimore fail to provide such conveniences as will allow their laborers to wash up before leaving is no reason where 110,000 citizens should be humiliated with an obnoxious law that brands them as an undesirable class. ```markdown ``` RADICALISM AND THE Just how great movement the Negro problem through article in February Curve or Revue des Deux Mondes, cance's liberal treatment to the evolution of the Neth rench revolution.

But when the French intervention of the Rights of RADICALISM AND THE NEGRO PROBLEM Just how great movements of radical reforms may effect the Negro problem throughout the world is set forth in an article in February Current History by Robert Aron, Editor Revue des Dess Mondes, Paris. Writing in defense of France's liberal treatment of her colonials, Mr. Aron traces the evolution of the Negro status in France from the French revolution. As late as 1766 Negroes in French territory had no rights. But when the French Revolution set forth the "Declaration of the Rights of Man," the idealism and altruism of its appeal took within its sweep the colored men and women of the realm. "The wisdom of this course has been fully justified," according to Mr. Aron, and "Now" he says. "The Negroes in France find almost all positions open to them. There are four members of the Chamber of Deputies—M. Candace, Diagne, Bouisneuf, and Lagrosiliere. Paris has five colored lawyers, more than twenty Negro doctors and Prince Tovalou (the man who caused the Montmartre cafe incident) will lecture this winter in the important School of Social Science." It was also pointed out that in Russia where modern radicalism is in the saddle, lines emphasizing racial differences have been almost wiped out. Just what the rise of the radical labor party in England to power is to mean to colored people under the British flag will be watched with interest. THE TEAPOT DOME ERUPTION The smouldering lava of oil, corruption, and political intrigue has at last forced the cap off Teapot Dome with an explosion that has been plainly heard in every nook and corner of the nation. While there is little doubt but that the need of campaign material in certain quarters has something to do with the time of the explosion, enough slime has fallen to indicate that there was something rotten with the whole thing. Readers of THE AFRO-AMERICAN who have followed the oily mess in the daily press will no doubt be struck with the number and calibre of the men caught in the meshes. Its oily grime has not only wrecked the career of two cabinet members, erected the shadow of prison walls around another, but it has threatened to besmear the family name of that greatest of all American statesmen, Theodore Roosevelt. There is hope that the resignation of the younger Roosevelt from the private company that seems to have bribed a cabinet into leasing its valuable oil concessions, and the part he played in bringing the scandal to light will serve to save this great name unsullied that it may always typify the square deal to men. Deeper, however, than the few millions involved in this scandal, and the big men whom it will besmirch, is the system of plunder it reveals. When a man steals a dime we send him to prison; when he steals thousands we bury him beneath a smoke-screen of political buncomb; but the real robbers of the nation—those who contrive by hook or crook to enslave the toiling masses; to stay within the law and yet steal millions daily through an economic system based on unjust taxation and divisions of earnings, get away scott free. Every now and then, however, such explosions as the Teapot Dome stir the masses to action and civilization and humanity make a step forward. THE EDITORIAL PAGE of THE AFRO-AMERICAN THE WHATNOT COLUMN For the A. N. P. 94. Who was Thomas Garrett, of Delaware? Thomas Garrett, who was a Quaker (Friend) of Delaware, assisted nearly 2,000 slaves to escape from bandage; he was at last convicted and fined so heavily that he lost all his property. When the auctioneer had sold his last piece of property to pay the fine, he said: "I hope you will never be guilty of doing the like again." Mr. Garrett replied, "Friend, I am 60 years old, and have not a daughter in the world who needs a breakfast, send him to me." Mr. Garrett died to see the day when slaves obtained their freedom. 95. Who was Jonathan Walker? Captain Jonathan Walker contracted to build a railroad in Florida, and for this purpose employed a number of Negroes. Capt. Walker procured a boat and attempted to smuggle the Negroes to freedom but was taken violently ill; he was captured, tried and sentenced to be branded with a double S (Shave Stealer) and to pay as many fines as there were alive. His friends succeeded in raising money to pay his fines and he was released in 1841. The poet Whittier immortalized the double S as opening Self-Service. 96. What was the Underground Railroad? After shivery was abolished in the North, slaves frequently ran away from their masters and attempted to reach the free states of the North and Canada. A most useful auxiliary in assisting them to freedom, was the God-fearing men and women who composed a chain stretching across the land from the borders of the slave states all the way to Canada. Their method of assisting was to guide the fouriers by night to a place of safety, and then to cover to a cone in turn would convey his charges to another conductor, and finally after passing them from station to station, the slaves were handed on free soil. This system was known as the Underground Railroad.

From OLD TIMER. 0 Suggests Trucks For Carrying Fertilizer Workers To And From Factories To the Editor: I have before me a newspaper clipping from the Baltimore American dated January 29th, headed, "Jim Crow Laws Asked For City Electric Cars." This bill was introduced in the House of Delegates by Mitchells H. Noon, of the Sixth City District, Mr. Noon goes on to recite the condition of the street cars in South Baltimore, where Negroes coming from the fortressier factories sit one in a seat, compelling what he means white people to have to sit beside them. This is a very serious matter and one that should be fought from every angle. I agree with Mr. Noon that the conditions on these cars are very bad, but one of the fact he stated, but a bill of kind includes the whole race and should lose no time in fighting it. I would suggest that the fertilizer companies supply sufficient trucks to transfer its workers to and from work. This would be a saving for the workers and remove the conditions stated in Mr. Noon's bill. JOSEPH WATTS, 743 W. Franklin Street.

The plastic minds of children possess an susceptibility to intelligence and some of the most fascinating impressions are made by stories or fold in tender years. There are many children's books on the market, but the rich field of child literature with a racial background has not as yet been even scratched. More than this many of the books in which colored children are pictured, back the proper spirit.

How To Make Your Advertising Pay. Few merchants really have the proper appreciation of what advertising means to them. A writer in an exchange, ady put it in this way: "If a man speaks to you, or if every two months she wouldn't recognize his voice says an exchange. Yet some business men advertise over a month or every two months and then wonder why they don't get more business. Advertise every week. - Remember the story where a police officer tells the store what it is doing every day is the store that gets there in the end. It's no crime to be poor, but its an awful mistake. More Third Party Talk Recent events centering about administration corruption in Washington gives impetus to the third party movement in this country. It is known that the system which allows such corruption as the Tempol Dome scandal is dominant in both the democratic and Republican parties. Neither of these two parties fully expresses the views of a growing number of Americans and a vigorous young party, even as a minority party, with more liberal policies might serve a good cause. The Farmer-Labor-Progressive party will hold a national convention on May 30, at which a full ticket will be put in the field. Those of our group not satisfied with things in the two dominant parties might find this new party worth looking over. At any rate it may cause more independent thinking and independent thinking is one thing most needful now.

KELLY MILLER SAYS Woodrow Wilson is dead. To the Negro he was an enigma. Never one word of abuse or condemnation against the race ever escaped his lips. He appointed a colored Register of the Treasury, Assistant Secretary of War, and named hundreds of colored army officers. Yet in his beautiful theories about self determination, he forgot about the Negro in Georgia and Mississippi. --- Woodrow Wilson Death has called Woodrow Wilson from labor to reward. He was one of America's greatest Presidents. In constructive thought and exalted idealism he stands all but alone among the American marry to his convictions. The American people crucified him upon the cross of his own idealism. To 'the Negro he was an enigma. Never one word of abuse or condemnation against the race ever escaped his lips. He lived during the stirring period when this issue was the heated theme of discussion, but he ignored his interest. He neither extolled nor condemned the Negro: he simply ignored him. And, yet when President, he never allowed his party to bring forward any legislation to our detiment. He appointed a Negro in Register of the Treasury, whose failure of confirmation by the Senate was no fault of his. During the war he commissioned hundreds of colored men as officers in the Army against the declared opposition of the opposing white army; the colored man was assigned his special assistant to the Secretary of War to adjust the sentiment of the race to the exactions of a foreign war. And yet no one can say definitely what his attitude was towards the citizenship claims of colored race. There were gaps in the movement of his imagination. He skipped whole links in the chain of reasoning. In his beautiful theories about self-determination he conveniently forgot about the Negro in Georgia and Mississippi, the rights of man he ignored the troublesome black man who stood in the way of his fine philosophy. But now that he has gone to his reward, all true Americans will be glad to hold up and extol the good and great deeds that characterized his life and forget the minor imperfections which his enemies were so prone to magnify while he was yet with us. An unfavorable fate followed all the months of the World War. He mines of the winning generals have already been forgotten. The leading statesmen of every victorious nation have been discredited. The war has upset the composition of the world with nothing to set it right. Woodrow Wilson pointed out the way, but his own nation would not walk therein. His body became broken, his spirit became enfeebled, and the truly great man died a martyr in ideal. Some say and his son grew up in a world where a lost cause has little chance for immortality in a practical age. Woodrow Wilson would easily have reached the pinnacle of fame he lived in an age where men extolled thoughts rather than things.

Triumph of the British Labor Party Triumph of the British Labor Party The Labor Party in England has assumed the reigns of government of the British Empire. This is perhaps the most significant indication of the economic and industrial restlessness of the times. The British character is steady and sober. It does not easily fly off the handle. The same stamina permeates all grades of society. The man with the hoe is as much an Englishman as the king or the queen. The education of the Labor Party to power does not mean any drastic departure from the traditional procedure of the British government. The praty of those who tell, however, has been working steadily for years towards a more equitable distribution of the privileges and opportunities of life among all of the people. While there will be no destructive revolution or devastation of society, the man farther down will be given a fairer show in the game of life. It will be interesting to watch the experiment of a party of the undergoing trying to man the most intricate and turgid affairs of government and state without experience or a body of trained, experimental officers who live in investment houses. If the experiment should fail or become short-lived, the failure would doubtless be attributed to the impossibility of untrained and untrained men attempting to conduct governmental affairs. It would go a long way towards a change in attitudes which they may entertain for ascendancy. They must hear the brunt of the derogatory dictum that the man who never has governed never can govern. Labor Party and Negro Labor The Negro has ever been looked upon as a creature whose powers and capacities should justly be exploited for the benefit of a better race. The whole superstructure of slavery was built upon the basis of this supposition. For three hundred years the European has dealt with the African on the ground of his inferiority, but his manual skills were calculated to serve the ends of his own masterful overlordship. SecondSection The British Labor Party dares dispute this age old dogma. It proclaims a new hope to the backward peoples under British domination who litherto have been overeagreed and heavy laden in order to swell the dividend of the exploiters. The cursed thirst for gold has been the constant mount in the contact of Europeans with the weaker breeds of men in all parts of the earth. Those whom favorable circumstances gave the upper hand over their less favored fellows have prostituted their higher privilege to their own selfish aggrandizement. But there is a new thought in the world. The leaven of human brotherhood is slowly leaving the lump. The brother who is the greater has all the greater obligation to the brother who is less fortunate. They who have been benefited ought therefore to become enlightened. Capital should not despise labor and labor should not envy capital. They are both members of the household of economic welfare. A house divided against itself cannot stand. What means all of this economic and industrial interest throughout the world to Bussel, Germany Italy England, all striving for the better way if haply they might find it. The mystical temperament of the more excitable races will rush to impossible extremes. Experiments will be tried that common sense could foresee to be impossible. The sober sense of the British commoner might be relied on to find a sensible way out. Mr. Leonard Waffe, in his book *Exploitation and Commerce in Africa*, sets forth the following declaration of principles which is the doctrine of the British Labor Party: The African Native 1. The land in Africa should be reserved for the natives. Where natives are not able to develop the land, it should be developed by the state, profits from such development belonging to the training of natives, in order that they may eventually be able to make the best use of the land. 2. Systematic education of the natives with a view to training them to take part in, and eventually to control the government of the country. 3. The gradual expropriation of all Europeans and their capitalistic enterprises. These are not merely barren idealistic platitudes upon which a new party seeks to ride into power. But the British Labor Party is planning to put its platform into effective execution. The appointment of Sir Sydney Townshend as Secretary of State for India, is the most significant step indicative of the liberalized attitude of a great state on the attitude of the white race towards the darker races under its political control. Sir Oliver does not believe that the native should be death with as an inferior order of being, but as a backward brother who should be encouraged to do so as rapidly as possible. The old dominant theory of race inferiority would handle the native as an inferior creature by decree of nature and to set a fixed gulf between him and the more lordly Cancanian. Not so, says Sir Oliver. The Negro must be treated as a human being. There must be a fixed gulf between man and man. The superior attainments of one man over another or one nation over another will maintain itself by sheer force of superiority. The world will watch with keen concern the administration of Sir Oliver over His Majesty's Indian domain by the British Party in the British African possessions will be watched by all of the Colonial powers of the world. Howard University Appropriation Howard University Appropriation Howard University is mainly dependent upon Congressional appropriations. The allowance is looked upon as a gift or grant without fixed status in law. This makes the Howard University a powerful on objection of a single member of Congress. Several times in past years has this been done in the house, but the University has always experienced the good fortune of having it restored in the Senate. It is our hope and belief that like good fortune will again prove itself the complete institution of learning in the whole field of Negro education. Every Negro in the country is deeply concerned in its welfare and continance on the broad basis and high level upon which it operates. The whole race feels called mom to rally to its support and assistance in time of Not only so, but right minded white men who are interested in the agency of education as a means of social uplift of this great race will render the needed assistance to maintain the requisite government support, and patient with the nation, and will sense of the nation will never let this great national institution fail for want of material support.

VARNELL'S REVIEW By Wester Varnell Star Theatre, Shreveport, La. Jan. 21. — Vandeville drew a two- thirds house this week. One A class and two B acts, and a C made up the program. Hamilton and Hamilton, man and woman, the former under oak, opened the show. The act ran 12 minutes and scooped an 85 percent rating. Happy Ferguson, working in under cook in a routine of S. D. and T. material, elbosed to an encore and one bow, registering at 80. DeGaston and Yuen, mixed, with the man in blackface, did single and double songs, recitations and dances well enough to justify an encore and a pair of bows, making 80 for their fifteen minutes. Call VErnon 6017 mixed team, also doing S. D. and T. work, brought back a line of talk that they have used before. They work of fifteen minutes and made up 85 that could have improved upon if they had talking material up to the standard of their dance offering. Altogether it was an hour and ten minutes of monotonously similar acts. With so many novelty acts available, one wonders at the lack of variety on some of the bills. BIG CROWD GIVES "MARIAN" WELCOME Philharmonic Soloist Gets Hearty Applause Upon Appearance at the Douglass. An audience that filled the larger part of the Douglass Theatre Friday night, welcomed Marian Anderson, contralto, in recital. The affair was under the direction of Larry J. Hunt and L. Hamilton Murray. Miss Anderson was supported by William L. King, pianist; Harry T. Pratt, violinist; and Wm. L. Wilson, accompanist. Mr. Pratt was greeted quite as heartily as the Philadelphia star, who recently performed with the Philharmonic Orchestra in her native city and then jumped to New York for a recital in the Bellevue Stratford Hotel. The program in full was as follows: Miss Anderson—"Toro Mio Ben, Mio Giordani; "Gia I Sole dal Col," Scarlett; "La Columba," "Folk Song of Ruscany in Bataille," "Bilhoye Hartfield," "Rachmaninoff," "Songs My Mother Taught Me," "Dvorak. Mr. Pratt—"Rando," Wieniwski; "African Dance," S. Coleridge Taylor, Miss Anderson, "Bopscule," Mass. Miss Anderson—"Morgan" Straus, "Heldenrooslein," Shubert; "Aufen- hält," Shubert; "Mald of Cradz, Deuteron," Philosophy"; Quilter, "Chirgarda." Mr. King—"Sherzo R B Flat Minor Op 31" Chopin; "Juba Duba" Dett. Four Cameras Make "Lorna Doone" It required four cameras, instead of the customary two, to film "Lorna Doone." Maurice Tourneur's picture of the favorite seventeenth century novel. Some of the action scenes were so difficult and costly to stage that the producer was unwilling to risk any chances that would be necessary and kept four candidates out. As a result he obtained some of the most novel effects ever shown on the screen. "To a delightful daughter of the Magic Wood," so Rex Hunter, author of "Stuff O' Dreams and other plays," has inscribed a copy of his volume which he sent to "Madge Bellamy," the star of "Lorna Doone" playing at the theater. Feb. 12, Mr. Hunter drew Miss Belleham when he played in "Dear Brutus" with Wm. Gillotte and this was his appreciation of her work in that play. N. Y.

Amazing Photoplay Is Woven Around a Shawl It was just a bright shawl. But it was also the token of a great love, the messenger of death, the cloak of a spy, and in the end the harbinger of lasting happiness. It is around this dazzling garment, worn by a vivid Andalusian dancer in Havana in the days of Spanish oppression against Cuba, that the plot of the highly dramatic and romantic photoplay, "The Bright Shawl," playing at the Carey theatre Monday, February 11th. Dying from a knife wound, La Clavel, the dancer, gives the shawl to Charles Abbott, young American, played by Richard Bastellmeiss, as a final remembrance of her affection. In turn, the bloodstained garment is found by La Pilar, female spy. She wears it to the Negro dancer and its brilliance helps him to hold young Cuban pride in his death. She kills him and throws the brilliant shawl over his body. The American, after losing consciousness since a duel, awakens aboard to find the woman he loves and the bright shawl.

EVER FAITHFUL "A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the bed and the snow, and the snow drives fierce, if only he can be near his master's side, he will kiss the hand that has no food to offer; he will lick the wounds of his master and the wounds of the toughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his puper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he must maintain his dignity and fail to please, he is as constant in his love as the son in its journey through the heavens. Fortune drives the master forth an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him to guard against danger. The master of all comes and death takes the master in its embrace and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if an attacker comes by his gravel side will the naked dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes say but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true.

"You ought to be ashamed of yourselves, waiting to get married. Will you have a family of ground,ledge, with all your expenses, interrupted the bride's sweet. Do needs out our way is so bad!" HENRY R. LANSDOWNE, 162 Lexington street. VALUES Life is a vast clearing house, wherein each man is weighted on the scales of value, appraised according to merit, and ablated his mission in the world. How fortunate for *Youth* individual and society if every man but displayed a price tag showing his true worth to the final decision? How shall we judge a man? By what standard shall he be measured? Certainly not an average, for which mobility may rags conceal, and depolarity of porches in princely masquerade! Neither may we accept apparent success as an indication of lofty porage for success is an elusive off—appreciation as to wind, with its unpredictable nature, with the home at which she will abide. How, then, may judgment be determined? Verify, "By their works shall we know them." Not by reputation, order, lineage, or ancestral honor to him described, but by deeds performed, if we would justly estimate the living soul within, must we judge a man. It is largely in the hands of every human being what he will make of himself. To my mind, there is nothing more desirable than one who sits in the swing of life, compaining and crying for good, push him back and not to the push him and start yourself. The good or ill of any circumstance depends upon the attitude in which it is received. No evil force, however exerted, can crush a man who will not down. This is an era of hope and faith, and the greatest barrier to self-development and progress is fear of the defeat. It with some unimaginable forerow into every phase of labor. Whatever you are intending to do—that thoroughly, Let me plead with you—slumber not just your opportunity for service last in late years, beyond your season of usefulness, you be placed on the bargain counter, shopworn from infection and unable to meet the demands of an impatient world. Failure is resentment. Did you ever be an artist—did you holiday after day and are yet unknown That does not constitute failure? But have you painted the picture of your life with the painstaking brush of unselfish action, blending into marvelous unity the tints of an upright character, framed by the laws of God and our country? If this you have done, you have underestimated your own value. That masterpiece of art is priceless, a divine ornament in the eternal gallery of memory to which countless generations may point, even as we grow, saying to the struggling youth, There, my son, is a life supreme, sublime, for he lived as best he could! Did you fall short of your desire to be an educator? But you say you have mastered the mathematics of life—to always be "on the square," you know the reacting entities of national-quality produce the univalent quantity—botherhood. Would that the entire world might receive such wisdom. Do not he discouraged because you do not chance to be a veritable skeleton key, unintelligent but but take care that it may be said of you: "He is poor and needy." What of that, 'tis not the clothes that make the man. He dwells in poverty? It matters not—his heart is pure gold and his counsel of burnished silver. He is common and unknown? So be it, his name is whispered on the lips of Angels. A king among men, a credit to his race, and an upright American citizen." EVA A. JESSYE, Muskogee, Okla. Water Pipes Thawed In A Jiffy.

Embarrassment Editor. AFRO-AMERICAN. One night last summer there was a salesman on the corner of Church street, selling soap. Full of curiosity I went to the stand to see what he was selling and what he was doing. I proceeded to look and he spoke to me very nicely. I retaliated. After a moment he asked me if I would help him carry out a little trick, to which I very willingly replied. Yes. Soon a crowd began to assemble and he started talking and told the person he was going to perform a trick for them. He was a prize of a foreign country, but spoke English also. He told me to pronounce after him the words he told me, which I did, in foreign tongue, and, of course, did not know what I was saying. Occasionally he would say, "Same as a native" when I asked him that I had said thus: "I have hereby sworn that my head shall be cut off, with a blemish and he replaced and these people are witnesses." I was totally embarrassed and too, most of the people knew me. I started to run, but he grabbed me and we had a real tastie for a few minutes. Finally he offered me one hundred dollar bills, starting the he would also pay my funeral expenses if I died, but I refuted the He then offered me a dime and told me I could keep that, and meanwhile whispered in my ear: "I'm not going to cut off your head, it just appears to me the way to the people. We took the dime the men went on telling a joke, meanwhile taking a long penknife from his pocket, laying it on the stand. That was enough for me and before he could finish telling his joke. I broke through the crowd and ran all the way home. I had his dime and I think I carried it, too. K. B. Frederick, Md. FAMILY FUSSES The family quarrel is an excellent institution so long as you don't overdo it, says Henry K. Marks, psychologist and author of "Under "You may depend upon it," he remarks, "the husband and wife who have it hot and heavy for a while and clear up the atmosphere are much more healthy physically than the couple who never have even a tiff and are always record. "The woman who doesn't assert her husband in hand in a while is really nothing more than a moon. Men never have given women anything, except what they wanted them to have, without a struggle. And they never will. Men aren't built that way. "This is true in the home as well as in political and social life, women and to know what they want and then fight for it. If they don't eventually they become colorless, even negative. Independence Wins "The clinging vine has never done anything for herself or for her race. And she is bound to find herself in time with nowhere to cling. Economic pressure, if nothing else, is forcing every individual to fight for himself, and those who can't will fail." Likewise, Dr. Marks advises you not to be deceived by the oversold- To Wash Wool Gloves To prevent wool gloves from shrinking, put clothspins into the fingers while they are drying.

Banana Cake With Jelly Sauce Very tasty to the family. 1 cup flour. 2 teaspoons royal baking powder. 3 tablespoons sugar. Laborinas Sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt; peel and scrape bananas; cut in halves leighwise, then across. Pour batter into greased shallow pans place bananas on top and prepare with sugar. Mix and temper moderately until uniform. Serve with the following liquee. Jelly Sauce Put water into salsa pan; bring to a boil, add jelly and sugar, stir until dissolved; add corn starch, wet with a little cold water; boil 3 minutes. STELLA E. MILLER. Port Deposit, Md. Finger Rolls I do wish the readers of the AFRO would try this recipe sometimes for finger rolls: When you have a little bread dough left over, cut off as many pieces of bread dough, of uniform size, as there are to be made. Fold each piece hands in a round ball, in the left hand, using the first two fingers and thumb of right hand, and constantly turning the dough around, folding toward the center. When smooth and round place on a board where there is no flour and roll with right hand until of the desired length, smooth enough in the ends. Place in a greased pan, near together, and brush between them with melted butter. This will cause the rolls or biscuits to separate easily after baking. Take from 12 to 20 minutes in a hot oven, take out brush over with melted butter. MRS. J. EDW. SMITH, 113 Henry Street, N. W., Hornsake, Va. citious, overdevoted wife. Instead of being prompted by real love, it may conceal actual hate. "Many a woman realizes she hates her husband," the doctor continues. "She regards it as a shortening on her part and her first impulse is to conceal her discovery. So she tries to atone for what she believes is her guilt in not her loving husband and by going to the other extreme and shooting the most exaggerated solicitude for his welfare. But she is just as much of a nepalite as the woman who flies into hysteria." Don't Fool Yourself If we could take a look into the physical life of the Pollyannas about us, we probably would find their omni-present optimism just another of a overcompensation, he says. "Pollyannas conceal their fears and their meanest doubts beneath an armor of forced gladness," he explains. "It isn't natural to smile all day and be cheerful when the cook leaves or the baby spills ink on the new rug any more than it is never to quarrel or lose your temper when your husband gets too unreasonable. So one can be afraid of a good spat and then, or a fit of the blues or any of those honest emotions that you may feel ashamed of afterwards. They indicate that you are normal and healthy-minded."

MISS BERNIE TUCKER "Oh, mother," said four-year-old Alice, "I think I'll get some water and christen my doll baby." "No, dear," said the mother, "you must not play with holy matters."

My little boy, age six, came to me one day saying "Mother, Daddy just gave me the poorest old童dy." " said she, "I think he good," "Which cost the most, mother girls or boys?" So just for fun I said, "Girls." He said, "Yes, sir, I thought it; he looks for the cheapest every time." MRS. R. A. RUFFIN, Newport, Dela. One day my five-year-old sister said, "Mother, why do they keep the cross-cyed bear in Sunday-school all the time?" My mother asked, "What cross-cyed bear, dear?" My sister replied, "Oh, the Conserated cross I'd Bear. They say about it all the time." A friend of mine sent her seven-year-old boy to the drug store for a 10 cent package of diamond dye, playing along the road the boy forgot the name of the dye. He asked the clerk what old people usually use. The clerk answered, "Fever, consumption, small pains and other things." The boy said, "Give me 10 cents worth of any of those."

It is hard for small children to put on their stockings over long underwear. Sew a piece of elastic at ankle bands to go under the arch. This will keep the underwear, and is no pull on the undergarments. Dissolve a temperate borax in a pint of warm water, dip the beads in this and when clean rinse in tepid water. Dry on soft towel.

Just one little book from those penetrating eyes would take away all the glom and monotonous feelings. I really can't imagine what has come over me; for as my mind passes over little and tiny details, it seems as though the least little thing that you have said, has caused an emotion justified only by loved ones. It seems so strange even to myself, that I should be so freely contemplating my love for anyone. I consider love as that most sacred qualification that a human beings up until this time in my life. I have serupiously avoided telling any girl that I loved her, so you can be well assured that I am not speaking lightly. Possibly it is the sinnersness of your eyes or the thrill of your kiss that told me that deep down in your heart there was maybe a little flame of Pardon me for my imprudence, but I think imprudence will indicate that I do love you, and that in return you will accept my ardent affections and say that you do care for. Yours truly, R. G. 405 Robert Street. The Poultry Woman Good housing for chickens helps too. I have a househouse by 13 feet divided into three rooms, each 14 feet square with a door of wire netting. This room has 11 use for a scratching room. The two others are used for roosting rooms. Each has an outside door and connecting doors, and the chickens have the entire house to run in. I keep the house clean by keeping all the floors, the windows, and the furniture, table and plenty of skimmil, and provide plenty of grit and ashes. If the weather is very cold I warm the drinking water. And I have had eggs to sell all winter when my neighbors were not getting enough to use at home. His Embarrassing Moment.

"Ruth, don't marry that man. If you do, you'll be sorry some day. You don't know what it is to be a drunkard's wife. Arthur is a heap the better man, works steadily, and if you marry him instead of that worthless scamp, you will thank me for my advice some day." "But father," I protested, "I don't love Arthur." I can recall his amused smile as he laid his rough hand on my curly head and said, "Child, there is no such thing as love. When you are as old as I, you will know a person always thinks most of those who treat him best. What you think is love will soon take away your ability of married life, your boy will show himself in his true colors, and you will find you have married a different man than you imagined." Father talked, pleaded and commanded, but to no avail. I was determined to marry Louie, the only man I could ever care for. Being only 16 years and unable to get father's consent, I ran away and married Louie at the court-house. How happy I was the first few months Louie never drank a drop, and if possible, became more devoted to me as the weeks flew by. After four months of married life, I began to beg him to attend a show. At the time I could not go and not wanting to monopolize his pleasure, urged him to go. About 2 o'clock I was awakened, roughly jerked from bed, and amid derisive laughter my husband beat me until I fainted. I knew no more until I awoke in the night. I was lying on the door, my body covered with bruises. Surrounded on the bed, I was sitting on the floor, in including his shoes. In a coat pocket was an empty whiskey bottle. He awake repentant, vowing never to drink again. In a week or two the same think was repeated, then again until I gave up hope. The only comfort I had was my little boy. Sixteen years have elapsed and he has a great horror of whiskey as 1. He is old enough to work the farm, and together we make a living, not only for ourselves, but for brute of husbands. We have been long but for the boy. No woman can love a man she doesn't respect. Arthur is married and is the baker of our little town. His wife gets anything she desires. "They are educating their children. And I listened to father who knew best it is now too late. I hope other girls who are about to make the same mistake will 'think before they leap.'"

This is a law of life and operates as relentlessly as all the others.

"I'll tell you an incident, unpleasant though it is," continued Dixon, "just to show you the effect of one of these anti-Negro productions on a Negro—an almost typical case. A friend of mine—usually rational, confessed to me his feelings about a picture that was going the rounds. He said that when he saw this picture, defaming his people and noting the white audience's apprehension of a black class, were brought to the highest pitch of enthusiasm over it, a supreme hatred for all white persons came to him and that he was praying to God that one of them would but "But I must not forget to mention him and thus give him a chance to brain the offender.

Similarly a white woman told me of how she took her little boy to see the picture, and said that on the saw, Negro it turned the woman as it is in the picture, he said he fell as if he could kill every Negro. I may know nothing about the art of government, but I do have common sense enough to know that agitation of this sort would never be tolerated in a country whose lawmakers know the first rudiments of that art."

Women and women like these, as was Victorine, Victor Hugo, Pichothe Fry, Harriet J. Broeber Stowe, are the conscience of their generation. Such persons are the living embodiments of the great American ideal—that ideal which declares that all men are born free and equal. "But I must not forget to mention that friends of the Negro may be divided into three classes: Those who believe in segregated justice, this type predominates in the South; those who stand for equal justice only because it offends their sense of the fitness of things, but who have a dislike. Negro participants participate on one this type predominates in the North; and those who really think the Negro is human and should be treated as much, and even among these I have met a few who declared they had a bourgeise at the mere sight of a Jew." "What do you think would offer a solution to the problem?" asked the Senator, seriously. "A sense of humor." "Name something easier." "Then I should like to see the formation of a national commission for an inquiry into the subject—that is, the taxpayer's money—and thus assemble the best means for adjust ing the relations between these two bodies of our citizens. There are also three methods which I have always thought would help, namely, textbooks is the public schools, teaching of the latest scientific knowledge on this matter of race, making an impression in this country; the establishment of Federal schools in these Southern states that cannot or will not give education to all their children and a non-political provision, whereby Negroes will have some representation in Congress. The matter is sufficiently serious to be taken in hand by the Federal Government, and indeed, I know it will—save future generations a great deal of trouble.

Man has intelligence. Should he not use it to ward off disaster? I do not see why we in the United States with our superior education should be behind all the South and Central American countries in this matter. This country is big enough and rich enough—and broadminded enough, too, when it will—to admit of every citizen having a square deal, and yet leave a mighty surplus. A little more assertion of our better selves—little more patience in dealing with the will go to help toward making us and them happier. Hamlet's injunction to Polonius regarding the players is a most excellent one. When enjoined Polonius to take good care of the players, the latter said: "My lord, I will use them according to their deserts." But Hamlet exclaimed: "Ods bodykins, man, much better! Use every man after his deserts, and who shall 'scape whippings'; Use them after your own honor and dignity; the less they deserve, the more merit is in your bounty."

PLOWDEN. 699 George Street. Washington, Pa., Minister Finds AFRO Gives Prominence To Landable News Of the Race For some time I have had in mind sending you a letter expressing my appreciation of the AFRO. I find it a source of great inspiration to me for two reasons. First because it is always chucked off of all of my books. Second, I am saddened that you give the greater prominence to the laudable news of our people rather than to the disgraceful news. Some of our papers are so taken up with the lurid accounts of scandal and crime, giving their miniview detail that there is very little space for an article on the laudable news of our people; these papers soon become interesting to delpt folks. The second reason I like the AVIFO is because it is really a well edited paper. The contributing editors are all good and the editors are usually very good. I have just finished reading the editor's last book and the editors and they are very kind.

THE AFRO-AMERICAN SOUTH'S BIGGEST AND BEST WEEKLY FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8 Dr. Breag Tells When Them Will Be No More Race Prejudice Mr. Editor: The late Rev. Dr. Rufus L. Perry of Brooklyn, N. Y., a hite of national distinction, and most active in racial affairs, some thirty or forty years ago, gave forth the following which I am requesting you to reproduce: Says he: "Between racial amity and racial prejudice there is a wide distinction. The one born of civil War was the work of Dr. Bell. The works of the one is benevolent the works of the other malevolent. The Ethiopian has regarded white as a symbol of impurity and unrighteousness. The white man, on the other hand, has so regarded black. The Ethiopian says: "As white as the devil." The white man says: "As black as the devil." The white man painted Christ and the Virgin Mary black, but wicked men and devils he painted white. Christ in his passion he painted black, but Judas, Annas, Galápagos, Plate, Herod, and the Jews, he painted white. He painted Michael black, but the devil white. (See Jr. Kusssoo, *Messiah* 257.) This shows that color as a symbol of purity and justice, is arbitrary and nophilosophical, and merely accom- modativa in its racial application. When the Cushite, as a rose, shall again exert or equal the white man in learning and material knowledge, his ancient celebrity he will find no trouble on account of his color. Or, when the white man shall have become christianized, according to the letter and spirit of the New Testament, then he will see the meaning and feel the force of Fatherhood of God and Brotherhood of Man, whether the man be European, Aslite, or African; whether he be white, yellow, or black.

Call VErnon 6016 The Newspaper Game Is a Great Life If You Do Not Weaken, Says This New York Reader Being a constant reader and subscriber of your clean and progressive paper, I am interested in the tone and the general scope it covers, and being somewhat familiar with the newspaper business in general and the obstacles and heart-rends which confront those engaged therein. I feel as if I were indeed one of the staff. I must admit I am astounded at the results you and your staff have obtained. I am impressed the sacrifices the disappointments, the agonizing suspense you underwent in the making of your paper. You have accomplished what I at one time deemed impossible. You have undoubtedly demonstrated to the journalists of the nation the possibilities of a Negro paper founded upon sound principles, clean news, strong and convincing editorials, timed and instructive content, being subsidized or controlled by other interests. Such a paper—live, instructive, entertaining—is bound to sell upon its merits. What a few years ago seemed a remote possibility has become an actuality. Every department deserves consideration and favorable comment. There, of course, is room for improvement for, in the there are many obstacles to be overcome, especially the shortage of money, which is always necessary, and the shortage of newspaper men. We have a number of trained men, but they are unfit for the detail work of low newspaper men. We have but one and is just the pillars of a successfully run newspaper. Our boys as a rule do not to take that work. However, it's a "great life if you don't weaken." I take my last off to your boys. You have truly accomplished what seemed the impossible. What you have achieved is history and will be very valuable in the future. Men in our group have a hard time in the newspaper field, which requires a strong heart, unlimited nerve and the patient. These capabilities are hard to find even in men of all ages in the opposite group, although they outnumber ours nine to one in the general news. Perhaps in the future our boys will book with more favor on the profession. R. J. R. FREDERICK, MD. Froedrick, Nat., Feb. 7.—The principals of the colored high schools of the State upon request of J.

Baseball" Says Rube Foster --- By Andrew (Rube) Foster President, Negro National League Sporting Editor. Afro-American. Your numerous criticisms of facts published in your columns, have all been weekly read by me. If your criticism will do any good, I would have perfect right to write as you see it, and perhaps, it would readers believe the things carried are for the betterment of conditions, and founded on facts. When news that is unreliable changes their views, it is bound to react upon the future of such publications. Yet I believe one has the right to do business along the lines most convenient to the things adored. Certainly anyone that wanted to do a beneficial thing for readers, or a race, would surely investigate the real facts, rather than abuse what little progress the individual had made, and when such investigations was completed, would even then be moderate in the criticism, if such exposure would do more harm than good, but diplomatically use suggestions for the betterment of things, who is what he is, to show man in what the following much confidence destroyed, makes it more difficult for anyone to follow. Criticism is beneficial where a substitute remedy is placed. I believe you had such thought in your mind. Received No Offer From East for Lewis You make comment on me refusing to play a series with the East, you know I have never refused, have never been asked by anyone in authority to play such, it is true, I had a letter from you, did not reply, as the men who operate the Eastern League know how to do such things. Is its nothing new to me, the propaganda used by the newspapers even includes a fight against some individuals I represent, or things I do. Its characteristic of our race, the things are to be expected. We have killed and discouraged every man that ever tried to do anything for us, even the whites that have tried it. We are just bad eggs. Best Known Negro In the U. S. A. Yet, with all my faults, its doubtful, regardless as to the position held by any Negro in the country, should we two assemble at all same time, or will one decrease. It is fortunate that I am the best known Negro in the United States. You, perhaps, do not know that. I know more people personally than the combined circulation of any six Negro papers in the world. Those who know me, have always been my friends, they will never desert, as they know, those that criticize really do not more than you do yourself. No one can remain any place and be respected, unless he has merited such. Never Missed A Pay Day I am held up to ridicule for, perhaps, some of these faults. Operating a ball club for years, that has traveled farther and more than all the colored clubs combined. From Maine to California, New York to Cuba, Chicago to the Philippine Islands: played in every state in the Union. Has never been sranded, missed a pay day, and operates in four blocks of a million dollar park, yet does not know its in the city. Has as well disciplined ball park and patrons and desire in the Major League. My desire cloose baseball of the sudden drunken orgy, that is tolerated East, perhaps has had more to do with any men leaving than salaries. I admit I have made thousands in the baseball business, but have made it with common sense, a judgment that I will not deviate from, because I do not see things in the same light as many others who do know neither she nor he the player she is attached to such. Some one has to be paid to do something we are not able to do. cheaper and oil a necessity, he did the world more good, even if he did get rich. Edison could have all the money in the U.S., and we would all be willing to give it all to him, rather than see the things he made possible, unknown, and have to go back to the time. Even if the men who helped him New York, had they lived, could not exact all put together what the master mind that made such possible received. Not Worrying About Players I have never asked any players to remain West. I will not, several hours before, ask any players paid more than $1 million, and some will be they are worth, will be cut. There are more players idle than employed, both East and West, all they need is some one to show them just a little. We have such developers. We passed the day of developing men to carry balls, especially when their profession is such, that they are entitled to know the workings of such, so it will be possible to know its detail. In this day and time, you let white men make an errand boy of your men, fight those that oppose such to interest, and wonder why I can silent. My men and associates count tickets, schedule games, make all arrangements, carry the money and know something of the business. You tolerate conditions there that you should pass on. We have stood for Nat Strong to collect 10 per cent from the revenue of colored clubs for 30 years, yet have never let them count a ticket, learn anything about the business, and even run your league with a club in it, and do not allow them at his own park. When allowed they play for 30 years, if he thought even the investment was worth paying one, he would it so that he would be compelled to remain in it, or would build a park in appreciation of the funds taken from such. He has done nothing, but honoured in the men who should be pitted. Passed Thru City Asleep Your man there offered me 30 per cent to play there. I passed through your city asleep with my club. They let me get by, they have never let any other colored have the chance. You have placed men at the head of clubs that could neither read or write. They told me they only wanted a man to carry balls. I want Negro conditions more. I business with white, but doing business with me is along different lines. I map all plans. I control from advertising to closing park. They have tried to link him in, but he knows I can do just as well, and able to do anything I desire. There can be no peace in baseball. There should be peace in baseball, but the conditions governing such. I believe impossible. We offered Bolden permission to write draw, and I asked him to form a his legacy form, if he got an agreement from his leisure to respect contracts, we would return his deposit. He could not do this, as Strong and Keenan wanted players, he also. So, rather than do this, they raided clubs West. We offered to allow them to keep all the players they had taken, but wanted an agreement not to further tamper. This they would not do. You all have not the ability to develop men, hence must steal development. This takes time and money; one is not able to pay men after spending two years developing them, a price as big out there, hence, they prefer to wait for a development along such lines. That is why I do not think you will ever have peace. Handled $213,450 I paid to Negroes the past season, $213,450.00. I want to be relieved of the burden of murder, that would be a force of justice, that would be easy, but, why waste a PROMOTING BOXING IS BUSINESS Tex Rickard Hated.By Will And His Manager Denies He Has Any Prejudice In His Work. "PANNED" BY WRITERS Sports Writers Recall How He Used Word "Darky" In Referring to Gans and Jack Johnson. New York, Feb. 6.—Democrat News Service.—Tex Rickard, leading boxing promoter of today, who has made nearly a million out of boxing beginning with the Gans-Nelson fight, Johnson Jeffries fight and winding up with the Dempsey-Gibbons, Dempsey-Carpentier and Dempsey-Firpo houts talked with a reporter this week. Rickard, who uses the word "darkey" in referring to Jack Johnson and Joe Gans, in newspaper article under his signature in New York newspapers, has been roundly scored by colored sport writers who accuse him of race prejudice. Wills and Paddy Mullins, his manager also hate Rickard and his former friend will never light up in his direction if they can help it. Here is what Rickard himself has to say about things: A number of writers have it, that were it not for my personal antipathy for colored boxers in general, a Dempsey-Wills fight would have taken place at least twelve months ago. This statement is vicious and unfounded to say the least, for if Joe Gans, the beloved boxer masst was here in the flesh, I am positive that would openly brand this woman a tie. Jack Johnson, former champion of all the universe, is still in the land of the living, and will attest to the treatment I accorded him out in Reno, Nevada, the scene of his memorable encounter with James J. Jeffries. And my level best to sign up all the white stars to meet Panama Joe Gans when that worthy first flushed to the fore during the early days of the Walker bill, but the managers of Briton, Ted Lewis, Ratner, al., turned a deaf ear to my pleadings. Falling in this, staged the George Washington fight, I establish a colored champion and thereby force an issue. In the case of Wills, there has been a general tendency on the part of rival promoters to put in unofficial bids that were not worth the paper they were written on. Just粉er over this: Outside of my offers, neither of the fighters have been approached by a promoter who offered to guarantee them indeed Keurn's demands alone, or who would venture to guarantee a fitting site for the battle of the century. This is a business in which little sentiment is lost, rather it is a question of catering to the desires of the public and the managers themselves should assist in this. I believe. As for the past two years, I stand ready to sing a Wills' fliptort, to be followed by the winner of such a serpent Dempsey then unveiled in interviews in the press, but to keep Mullins and Kris at loggerheads, desist long enough for us to sign papers.

WEST SILENT ON THE OLYMPIC QUESTION Whip News Service Washington, Pa., Feb. 7.—Charles West refused to commit himself last night when questioned about reported plans for entering the Olympic competition. "I am not sure as yet just what I will do, for though I would like to sail I do not feel like I can afford to leave school right at this time." Should West decide to go, however, we have every reason to believe he will qualify in at least two events. The Javelin and the all around. to of money for a lot of thankless Negroes. I am going to even economize on such, and will make the others see along such times. I am not going to lose any sleep about raising money to pay anyone whose earning capacities do not exceed $3.00 per day. The Government does not, nor do the stockyards, or railroad companies, and they get all the men they want. I would fight back, but because I can gain, I am content to see them go. Bolden and Stronthers, and the dear Lamb from Philadelphia are paying all they can, just to keep Strong and Keenman busy. They do not care who carries the freight, as long as it does not cost them anything. They do not care, they will have the East as formerly and will pay what they please. Such steps are common Eastern history. Strong wrote me to pass a limit of $30.00 providing I would not take any players. I told him I did not want any players from the East. The players would not play, so he disbanded the club to stave them into submission. They longed to Compose offering them more. I later received the stars from the East, Lloyd, Gans, Frands, Wade and several more. I gave them a $10 raise to get them, and the entire ball club, raised in salaries, 13 men, did not cost $1,300 per month, and with it was Redding. There was over $220,000 paid to colored players East and West last season, of this vast amount, all the season. Of this vast amount, all the colored players combined had less than $10,000, yes far less, as the players with the largest salaries have been broke since October. They are on everybody's list available. What does Charleston's signature amount to? You made great mention of his contract being in the desk of Col. Strouthens, yet I have a contract signed by him, long before November of last year. I guess one signature means more East than West. I am glad you have the privilege of knowing my position, and that I desire you to continue, if you believe such is beneficial. I can take the medicine. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8 2 Signs Foster Players.

Joseph Hayden had little difficulty defeating his opponents, hardly at any stage of play was he forced to extend himself, consequently high runs were not many. Taking a commanding lead at the start, he immediately had things his own way. The host match was between Allen Bell and Bobt. Washington, the latter forfeiting three consecutive scratches. The score at the time was 145-143 in favor of Bobt. Much credit goes to Bobt. Washington in all around playing. Although he did not win any games, however, exhibited a bravery with a winning that much worth while. With much experience and knowledge of the finer points of the game he should rub shoulders with the best in the future. A match between Hayden and champion Benny Danglass would be worth seeing.

With all confidence in the world, Fred Shade's St. Cyprus basketball team met Joe Saunders's Scholastic last Thursday evening, on the floor of the "Y" gym, before a crowded house, but Saunders's base kept the "bacon" home with a score The St. Cyprians started out well, making things look gloomy for the Scholastics. Carroll led off making two field goals while the Scholastics were tumbling around. Brown was shooting at all baskets, but making no goals. "Cuttle" seemed to be on his head for some reason, but no one knew except himself. After really did pass the birdie, the St. Scholastics formed, with the operation of guard Payne. Wake was a little shaky, he seemed to be nervous. He thinks that it was because Campbell was so much taller than he, and could beat him jumping, however. Ward made good for it in the last few minutes of the first half. This aroused "tutte" also, and he got down in the game and made two field goals. At the end of the first half, the score stood 13-12 in favor of the Scholastics. Both teams started out in the last half rongh and ready. "Cutie" had "run wibl" making four goals before being followed with two. Carroll showed them that he could play too, so he was successful in making two field goals, which tied the game 19-19. The teams scrambled for five minutes without scoring. They scored the score 21-19, in favor of the Scholastics, who quickly ran out eight more points before time was called. Scholastics g f p!

Will Compete in Track Meet at Washington in May—May Turn Pro. ```markdown ``` Feb. 6.—For the second successive year, Charles West of Washington, W. and J.S. star football and recently elected captain of the varsity track team, has been acclaimed the leading college colored athlete in America. The designation comes from Howard University, Washington, D. C., which institution has asked the head of track athletics his prowess to the patrons of Negro athletes at a big track meet of colored athletes at Washington, D. C., on Saturday, May 10. West has accepted, as the Presidents have an open date on their track schedule at that time and will display his wares as greatest gift of his race in the United States. Each year Howard, University selects some outstanding colored athletics luminary, whose reputation and performances place him above his fellows, and designates him as the best of his race in America, extending him an invitation to appear in exhibition performances at the annual invitation track meet at the national capital. Last year West was unable to accept because the Presidents had a big meeting which required him to be present, but he has accepted. In addition to giving performances similar to those which he will enter as a competitor in the national collegiate pennation at Pennsylvania in April West will also compete against some of the best athletes in the south in special events. Tendered Job It also develops that West has been tendered the position of athletic coach at Howard.

Green St. BATTLING SIKI KNOWS LITTLE ENGLISH GIN, FIGHT, GIRLS, TAXICAB, CABARET. Bv AL, MUNROH Whip News Service Chicago, Feb. 7—Skii and his manager, Ho Levy, left the train here to Arcade gymnasium, where he showed his wares to the hundreds who jumped the place to get a glimpse at him. He trained vigorously, jumping the rope, shadow boxing and punching the bag. The latter is his best stock in trade. Skii is perhaps the most finished bag puncher this writer has even seen including the famous back bouncer. Then one found round with Jack Malone. Very impressive. Skii is fast. Let no one tell you otherwise. Following the practice at manshaughter, we sought out a quiet place for an interview, but before long discovered that our lack of knowledge of the French language made the interview highly imaginary. We only understood the French, we English vocabulary consists, principally of the words "light," "gin," "girls," "calentre," and "taxicab." After much persuasion, Siki's manager finally consented to allow him to visit the South Side in company with the writer, who vouched for his safety. Rooms were engaged for him at the Vincennes Hotel. At a nearby restaurant, Siki gave gift cards to the chef and diet. He ordered chicken, pettus, pork chops, onions, tomatoes and a half dozen fried eggs. Enjoys Bright Lights. As evening fell and the lights flashed on in State Street, Siki's eyes began to sparkle. Night seemed to mean only one thing for him: gin and girls. So he had been carrying around the quart bottle in his hip pocket. We thought it was to be used as a limiment or a rub, with no idea that it was "the real gin." As the street lights blinked on, Siki breathed a deep sigh and drew the bottle from his pocket. A deep draught. As he cheered his throat, he gurgled. led, "Taxicab, cabaret, girls." The first place we visited was the Dreamland Cafe, where the news that Battlefing Ski was present drew a big crowd to his table. Wanted To Dance His one ambition throughout the evening was to "cash, an 'American girl', but we vowed it upon stern warning from Siki's manager. He was remembering how Siki invaded a New York cabaret, and seizing six girls, one after the other, executed an African dance with each that almost wrecked their constitutions as well as good looks. By request of his assets, each girl put out to dance the music was stopped, much to his disgust. He finally got out on the floor and indulged in a solo African club dance, and took his seat apparently satisfied. The party then moved to several other cafes, but apparently the party was not well enough to accommodate the wild art of taxicab was standing at 35th street and Calen- avenue. Siki disappeared. From 1 a. m. until nearly 5 a. m., Siki was lost "somewhere in the jungles of the South Side." Frantic efforts of his "keepers" to locate him were unsuccessful. Police stations and hospitals where inquiry was made reported that they had not heard of him. That at least was consulting. He probably hadn't gotten into trouble if the police hadn't so easily found him. Finally at 5 a. m. after an all-night hunt, Siki was located at 31st street and Coleumet avenue, near a well-known all-night cabaret, yelling for gun. He was carrying an empty quart battle, and stopped everybody who passed, inquiring whether they had gun. Probably few of those he encount- EDWARDS SHUT OUT New York, Feb. 4—E. F. V.

WIFE COUNTER CHARGES Mrs. Russell Tells of Hubby's Love Nest, But Gets No Alimony. Echoes of an old affair that once was the foundation for a $10,000 alienation suit, were heard in Circuit Court Thursday when Joseph Russell, 135 N. Corey street, was granted a divorce and custody of two children by Judge Dawkins in Circuit Court No. 2. The religious favor of the Seventh Day Adventist Church also played a part when Russell testified that Mrs. Jenny Russell, his wife, had placed her church and her duty to it far above her affection and witty duty to him. The all day light in court came when Mrs. Russell lied a cross bill to obtain alimony and division of several pieces of property owned by Russell as a result of their separation. She testified that Russell had left her to make money for her father and that the father now jointly owned property on Strickler street. Mrs. Harris, she testified, was the woman whose husband said Russell some time ago for $10,000 for alienation of his wife's affections. In his testimony Russell stated that they were married in 1960 and lived happily together until 1918. At that time, he states, Mrs. Russell became a member of the Seventh Day Adventist Church and from that moment on her action began to her attorney. She finally hired him, he testified, because of her religious favor. Rev. Charles Bishop, Rev. J. J. Thomas, and Mrs. Mattie DeMines testified in behalf of Russell. Judge Dawkins not only granted Russell the absolute divorce but the custody of the children and cut Mrs. Russell off without alimony. He was represented by Atty. R. S. Bond.

MALLETTE CHIROPRACTOR 1841 DRUID HILL AVENUE Entrance on Robert Street g Church PROFESS FUDGE SAYS: Some 10 or 11 years ago there used to be held regularly in the old telephone exchange building at the corner of Dudley Hill avenue and Robert street, what was known as the Forum. This Forum was a place where wise men could exchange ideas before an audience in the house of so much wisdom but which was sensible enough to keep still and listen to some body who had something to say. Occasionally some one with a multitude of words and a poverty of thought would get loose for a brief period of intellectual traffic, but as a rule the driveway was kept clear and the Forum functioned as a well oiled machine. The Ladies and Gentlemen had a nice time listening to the gusty orator and now they a short musical program was arranged which lited in well between resolutions, debates and the Several times in the life of the organization prominent local whites addressed it and all in all something was gained by the venture. Even those parties present who happened to absolutely陌生 Nature when she was passing around brains, enjoyed themselves getting eyecells of the "sweet mammas" with the standing out wardrobes. The Forum was wisely called to order each Sunday at the hour of four and generally lasted about two hours. I say wisely because four clock being after the regular church hour no "squawk" was forthcoming from the gentlement of the cloth, in fact some of the furniture, furniture parts, in this little "to do." The only expense incurred was the rent for two hours and the cough drop bill for the speakers. This was a matter of about three dollars for the rent and 29 cents for the "Smith Brothers." The grand total, $2.29, except in the summer, when a nickel more was added for the benefit of the water The whole business was financed by the collection basket, which was passed after the ice had melted and just before the cheap skates who wanted to buy were taken out. While the basket would always contain many slugs and pennies, yet it was usually strong enough to meet demands. If it was short, the asshole, like the baskins who played the quarter and business would go on just the same. If I am not mistaken, Commissioner Hawkins was the President of this body, at least he sat on the rostrum in the big arm chair with the mallet in his hand. Also, upon his shoulders rested the burden of getting the $2.35 for Bob Young, the proprietor of the building, who was generally waiting in the corner. Mr. Hawkins was an excellent chairman, and was regular in performing his duties. However, there were many other big men who participated regularly. For instance, there was Mr. William Anderson, who headed the listing list, then there was Mr. Tully Hatchett, who was then re-elected to later make him one of the Democratic Leaders. The ltte Mr. Julius Johnson, was a regular attendant, as was also Mr. E. Bernard Taylor, who was instructed in securing most of the noted white speakers who "jived" Mr. Arthur Turner, Professor of Biology and allied sciences in the High School, was then present each and every Sunday to defend his home state, Georgia, against the expected sallies of Mr. Julius Johnson. The, then Mr. Turner's boss, the Prof. Mason Hawkins, abused to get into linguistic alterations upon the floor, not to mention Prof. R. Pemphrey, former secretary of the Board of Governors of the now defunct Baltimore Assembly. I could go on naming them for some time but newspaper paper cost money, so I will now introduce my last victim, the watch dog of the Forum, the H. Milton Gross, principal of two schools, artist, strong man, amateur tragedian and possessor of an official looking appearance. What Broke It Up Just what broke up the Forum no one seems to know. We can only surprise. Perhaps too many shuts got in the collection or perhaps Bob raised the rent. I really don't know, but to save time we will attribute it to closing prices and something like that. Blamed all its cuts at that time, namely the war in Europe. It really does not matter what killed it, the point is they are going to dig up the corpse. As I understand it, Mr. Howard Gross has been instrumental in persuading Madam Jennie Coulton, the manager of the Forum, that she should turn her precious Blue Room over to the newly organized Forum each and every Sunday afternoon, free of charge. For some reason or other, Mrs. Jones has fallen for Mr. H. Milton Gross" line of burgers" and from all indications the Forum is the reality with Mrs. Jones supplying the place and ice water and Mr. Gross supplying the announcement post cards. Mr. Gross, may your conversation never give out. # The Teapot Dome business has them all going. In Baltimore the matter has been discussed from University Parkway to Peach Aley and from Mt. Vernon Place to Eblow Lane. From the "squamish" gingerbread house to the gentlemen with the $200,000 picked everybody's pocket. $60,000 For White $2,000 For Colored We are being "Teapot Domed" right here in our own city in many ways, but I am only going to mention one. You see, there is an athletic fund of $60,000 for the schools of tahwopre, or this fund we have been getting $2,000. Now are they putting up a fund that think so. There are about seven white people to every colored person, and if we get $2,000 they should get $14,000. I will do better than that considering the fact they have more "bucks" than we, let us allow that they should have 14 times as much as we. That would make it $28,000. $28,000 and $2,000 only make $34,000 and there is yet $30,000 left which makes them get 22 times as much as we get out of the Public (get the appropriation of that word Public) athletic fund. As the song says "Somebody is wrong" and "Lawd" knows it almighty, Mr. Whitman, will you please stop "Teapot Doming" us? Marian Anderson It really was good to be present in the Doughess Theatre on last Friday night and bear Miss Marion Anderson, of Philadelphia, the much heralded contritio, knock out those many varieg and beautiful selections before a large and appreciative audience. Miss Anderson can be used to form a band, Miss Anderson of the artists, Mr. Kiss Mike, Miss Anderson's accompanist, was just what the doctor ordered and Mr. Harry Pratt throw a violin Pt. He did something to that violin that was simply and dulcous, but whatever he did, Mr. Lil-welly Wilson, his accompanist, was right there with him, though they would not put his name on the official program. "Lout" didn't seem to mind that. "Lout" it was in Mr. Pratt, but I didn't think he was going that dead. But as I was about to say, we have got to give this audience some consideration. The folks fell for the program like the Gross-Grant Reality Corporation fell for the Georgia Millionaire. The applause was long and terrific, and I am convinced they really meant To my mind, this was the best reception given to "High brow" music by our film in the history of the movie. From the way it looked last Friday they can stand another one of these ventures in the next three months. I must get back to Miss Anderson. The holy song in many languages. If I am not mistaken, she omitted Chekoe-Slovacian. I know she sang in Italian, German and French, because these languages are my home languages, and I know what she was doing. Then, too, I might mention she had an Afro-American composer on her program, but she substituted another spiritual for the number, but just whose it was was good, but it was very good and the audience was close. This number was likely put in with the others to be us all know we were still colored, Searatle, Giordani, Rachmanoff, Strums, Shuhert and Dovkar wrote most of her music and I am satisfied had they been in the audience they would have been well pleased. Mr. Murray Artistic Mr. Louis Hamilton Murray was responsible for this pleasant evening and should be commended. It was the same Mr. Murray who not long ago brought Will Marrian Cook's aggregation here, with which we were all well pleased. Mr. Murray has an artistry interested in the development of art. His collection of his own wardrobe has been a source of admiration for many years. But what I want to know, Mr. Murray, is how could you let Miss Anderson make her appearance here in that freak? Mr. Murray, the dress that lady had on was not in the least becoming. She had sing like a pituitary gourd, keep clothes off and off that hoop skirt. It was alright with me, but "the folks upstairs" are kicking. Senator Hiram Johnson, of California, made a speech in Chicago at which time he mentioned some of the many things he is going to do **HP** he is elected President. Senator Johnson is elected, he is going to see to it that Northern colored men are appointed to off- We thank the kind Senator for his promises, but really, we would think more of him if he would get on the job and help Howard University get that appropriation which was wiped out a few days ago by Congress, who even said that "IF" stuff is always remember "a woman in the house is worth ten in the street." Bad Weather For Physicians. Colored and white physicians and druggists are complaining that the good weather in January lessened their earnings. "We do not want to see any-one sick," they chorus, "but it hits us mighty hard." TEACHER THOT DEAD DOCTORS DISAGREE IS FOUND ILL WITH "FUDGE" After Several Days Search Word Is Received From Miss Helen Gallen RELATIVES AT MORGUE Fears Relieved When They Discover That Woman Was Someone Else. Miss Helen Gallen, teacher of the public school at Hurlock, Md., who disappeared Saturday of last week is not dead. Relatives, after several days' search, received word that she is now ill at the home of a friend at Suffolk Md. Miss Gallen, who is a graduate of the Training School in last year's class, left her grandmother's home in Hurlock for a brief visit to Salisbury. When she did not return and no reply was received from letters and telegrams sent to her stopping place, relatives suspected four play and instituted an investigation. School authorities were compelled to close the school and prepared to send a substitute. Miss Gallen, who came from Philadelphia Saturday prepared to aid in the search. Relatives and friends of the missing woman visited the morgue and University hospital Sunday, believing that the unidentified woman killed in an auto wreck on the Washington Road last week, might be Miss Gallen. A telegram sent to the school established the fact that no bodies of unidentified women were held there. Their fears were allayed when they discovered that the dead woman was of middle age, and had been identified as Mrs. A. E. York, of 1545 4th street, N. W., Washington. The body was shipped there Saturday. Everybody breathed easier Monday when word was received from Miss Gallen at Salisbury. Her illness prevented reply to the communications sent her early last week. Papa Gets Ki All Day Papa Gets Kiddies After All Day Court Battle --- Two bright-eyed children under five years of age played about Circuit Court Room No. 2 Thursday, while their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Palmer, engaged in an all day court fight for their possessions. Palmer, who is now living in Norfolk, came here to obtain possession of his children when he learned they had been adopted by Mr. and Mrs. A. Camper, who lived on McElherry street. Two years ago the Palmers separated; Mrs. Annie Palmer taking possession of the children, then too young to leave their mother. According to the testimony of Palmer, the girl who came when Mrs. Palmer became infatuated with one Emmanuel Reeve and when he caught her in acts unbecoming a wife. The storm following one of these disclosures, he said, ended in her leaving him. "STEVE" HE WAITED Stephen Shepherd is a galent soul. He was last among about twenty patients waiting to see Dr. S. H.

INSTANCES ARE CITED Relatives of Ill Patients Call Several Doctors at Same Time. Strong protest is being quietly made against the assertion made by "Professor Fudge" that he called up fourteen physicians late one night and could get none. One doctor says that no legitimate call is turned down and adds: "I have been called out of bed many times and gone to my garage to get my automobile to answer the calls. "I have been met by other doctors and when I inquired as to why I was called I was told they called several in order to get one. I went to a house on Drum Hill医院 met other physicians there. And I got no pay in either case. "A man came to my house one night and woke me up, asking me to make a call. I insisted on my pay right then and there. got it and a white hospital doctor and some were on the job when I arrived. "One cold night a hurry call came to me to go down on South Spring street. I hurried down, found out that another doctor had been there. When I asked why they did not come to not come, I was told they had not about that. And I got no pay. "The physician is not only subject to all the diseases that others are, but he comes in contact with serious ailments daily, thus exposing himself. His is a one-man job when he gets in the work steps far too far, he is concerned. People who call, two or three of us up of bed and we go to find we are not needed there are helping to weaken our powers of resistance." Sometimes after the separation Mrs Palmer, without the knowledge of her husband, gave the children in adoption to the Campers, Judge Bond signing the order. When the news finally reached Palmer he instituted proceedings for their possession. In her answer, Mrs. Palmer accused her husband of cruelty and insult, however, awarded back to Palmer who stated that he had prepared a proper home for their abade. 17 IN TRAFFIC COURT Frank B.

HIS FIRST MONEY ```markdown ``` That the injunction proceedings instituted against Sigmund Peierkorn, white, as owner and Mes. Ella Johnson, tenant in $12 N. Gilmore street, will be strensively fought out as a test case was made known this week when an answer to the junction was filed in the court. Not only the issue be fought out in Atlanta but it is likely that the matter will be taken to the Court of Appeals at Annapolis. Case Ideal One That the S12 Gilmore street case is an ideal one to settle the legality of the injunction proceedings being used by local protective associations to oust colored tenants who move into white blocks was conceded by both sides to the controversy and the Harlem Park Protective Association, backed by the citywide organization of protective associations, is limiting its forces to carry the light through. On the other hand Lloyd Lachman, white, representing the owner of the property, has signified his intention of fighting the matter of colored men in the neighborhood of the property in question are also planning to assist in the light. The property at $12 Glimmore street originally belonged to Elizabeth Nicholas and Mary Harringer. Jath white, Later Mrs. Harringer gained complete control of it. Before Mrs. Harringer bought it precious owners signed an agreement of the Harringer Park Protective Association to not rent or sell to colored people; it is nothing in the property to the property owner. By Mrs. Harringer indicate any agreement. The whole question therefore is whether an agreement made by an owner of a piece of property and not included in a deed, follows the property in its consequence to a third party. The first local light in the injunction proceedings will take place between the 10th and 11th of April, and the 12th and 13th of April, up for settlement in the Circuit Court. ```markdown ```
