The Afro-American

32nd YEAR Number 27 Entered in the Postoffice at Hulbert Matter under Act of Y HIL STANDARD LIFE HEAD ISSUES STATEMENT Heman E. Perry Tells Why He Sold Mississippi Life Insurance Company To Whites BIDS WERE TWO LOW None of Colored Companies Said To Have Offered Price High Enough Atlanta, Ga., March 20. (Special)—Instead of losing $50,000 in its purchase of the Mississippi Life Insurance Company and reselling it to a white concern, the Standard Life Insurance Company of this city actually earned $75,000. This is the declaration of Herman E. Perry, president of the Standard, who in response to a wire from the AFRICAMERICAN gave the following statement: Because of the wide, false and conflicting stories regarding the Mississippi Life transaction, I have decided to outline to you the real facts concerning same. It was our intention, in purchasing the controlling interest in the Mississippi Life Insurance Company, to merge it into the Standard Life Insurance Company. Representations had been made to us that the Mississippi Life had about $22,000,000 worth of insurance, fully $8,000,000 to $10,000,000, capital to build a bank and accident. The Mississippi Life had assets of $550,000. Only $4,000,000 After making the purchase and going into the details, we found that the Mississippi Life had only $1,000 ordinary business and the bulk of the balance, sick and accident and in addition to this, the company was impaired. We also found that the officers actively in charge of the company had very serious differences existing which extended to the Home Office. We carried all of these facts and going thoroughly into the matter, we decided that the bulk of the business being sick and accident, it would not be best to merge the company with the Standard. We then decided to re-insure the small amount of ordinary business in the Standard and operate the other business as the Mississippi Life separately, moving the Home Office to Atlanta, where it would better be fitted for the management. We found also strong opposition within the Standard Life, the general opinion being that Standard should continue as an ordinary company. We learned, too, at that time that we would have a serious problem in handling the industrial company, especially with the limited knowledge of industrial business with particular reference to the sick accident department and considering the personnel of those in charge of that department. Other Bids Invited Because of these conditions, especially in the impairment of the company which showed something around $50,000, we decided that it would be best to sell the industrial business and took this matter up with the officers of the North Carolina Mutual and American Insurance Company, both companies coming to Atlanta, each one being represented by five or six of the officers. I also made a trip to Durham, N. C., and discussed the matter there with their committee. Returning to Atlanta, we had another conference with the officers of the North Carolina Mutual and at the same time, we had a bid from the Insurance Company of Nashville. The largest bid received from a colored organization was nearly $40,000 less than that of the Southern Insurance Company. Even with this great difference and loss to the stockholders, we decided it would be best to handle same with the colored organization, but the representative of the Mississippi Insurance Department stated that the Mississippi Insurance Department would not approve of this sale with an offer of nearly 40,000 more outstanding. We then offered to pay one-half of this difference if a colored organization would make a bid equal to that of the Southern Life. Neither of the companies would consider the business unless the ordinary business was included. (Turn to Page 10, Column 1) City A. Fifteen years ago, April 6th, Matthew A. Henson planted the stars and stripes on the North Pole with Peary, known to have been at the pole. Peary is dead. Henson was born 57 years ago in Oldham, New York, and lives in New York where he is a clerk in the Custom House. Donald B. MacMillan, one of Peary's lieutenants, said he was "happy to help Peary and of more real value than the combined services of all four white men. With years of experience equal to that of a master mechanic, physically strong, most popular with the Eskimos, talking the language like a native, clean, and intelligent. Peary because he was easily the most efficient of all Peary's assistants." COHEN IS MADE COLLECTOR BY ONE VOTE Afros' Washington Bureau Washington, D. C., Mar. 18.—By the margin of one vote the Senate yesterday confirmed the nomination of Walter L. Cohen to be comptroller of customs at New Orleans. The vote was 39 to 38. Mr. Cohen was rejected for the second time on February 18 last by vote of 77 to 35. In the second executive session following his rejection, Henrik Shipstead, Farmer-Labor Senator from Minnesota, moved to reconsider the vote. This paved the way for the action of the Senate in confirming him. From the mugger reports coming from yesterday's executive session, it is understood that Senator David I. Walsh, Democrat, of Massachusetts, joined with the Republicans in supporting him. He not only voted for his confirmation but was active in his behalf and was the voice of Senator Ashurst, Democrat of Arizona, may have been cast for him. Weller For Him Senator Weller, (R., Md.) voted for him, Senator Erince (Dem, Md.) is said to have voted against him, Mr. Cohen received word of his confirmation outside in the halls of the Capitol. With him were Perry Howard, John D. Gainey, George Watty, Findley Wilson and Roscoe Simmons. He left Wednesday to take up his position. The Cohen appointment ends one of the bitterest political fights in the history of the Senate. The only thing which ever approved it in 1886 when President Cleveland, a Democrat, said the name of James C. Matthews, also a Democrat, to the Senate for Recorder of Deeds. After four months delay the Senate turned it down and Cleveland gave Matthews a recess appointment. Subsequently when the Senate turned Matthews down a second time, Monroe Trotter of Boston was substituted. Colored Settler Built First Chicago House Chicago.

Va., was elected secretary, and the following members chosen to assist him: Revs. W. K. Jefferson, K. W. Krause, K. W. Austin, R. A. Hurt, and E. N. Nicholas. Following this, Rev, C. S.

Bland again denied that he was duplicated in the murder of Mrs. Fannie Harris on January 22, 1923. "I am ready to go." Bland said quickly to the deputies whom Sheriff appointed to take him to the death house. I told the truth that he was asking for the truth yet. I didn't do it. I don't know anything about it." Walking quickly from the jail corridor to the pavement the group of four men stepped into a waiting taxi-cab and went to the station. Every precaution to guard the prisoner was taken by the sheriff. This was necessary because of the frequent telephone calls received at the prison about his own situation from the fall to the tarin, suspicions were aroused and the county officials took no chances.

March 20.—Virginia blacks are getting white, not by intermarriage, but by the so-called "back door method." The Bureau of Vital Statistics estimates that there are 20,000 people in the State who may be either "white or colored," which ever they please. Sometimes they are in colonies in various sections of the State withholding themselves from both races. Now and again some of them have gone into the courts and had themselves proved white and sent their children to the white schools. For the most part these colonies have grown up as the result of the common-law marriage of numerous white men and colored women or of still earlier origin when both whites and colored were held as slaves here and intermarried. In order to stop the mixing of the races, Senate Bill 219, which recently passed the house, has now become the law in this State. It provides that all persons will register with the Bureau of Statistics. Persons may also register their ancestors and complete their family tree. In this way it is hoped to keep a clear record of both races and prevent very fair colored people from intermarrying in the State. KANSAS CHAMPION EATER NIBBLES TWENTY-SIX BANANAS FOR DESSERT HAULS WAGON IN STREET TO SAVE HIS TIRED HORSE Washington, D. C., Mar. 21.—The strange sight of master serving his dumb animal was so unusual that all of the office force of the Police Court stopped work last Friday to watch a man putting his wagon up Sixth street, while horse calmly walked. When questioned he said that his horse had become fatigued after pulling a heavy load, and not wishing to overburden the animal, he said, "I climbed into the harness and started homeward. That horse is tired." I know he is. He couldn't tell me so. Most people are dumb than animals, ungrateful and lazy too, he concluded, and thus resumed his way homeward. WAR FRAUD TRIAL MAY AID "LINK" Case Will Settle Fact As To Who Is Political Boss In Georgia Washington, Mar. 18.—John L. Phillips, white, and several others will face trial on April 15, charged with defrauding the government of $1,800,000 during the war. The case has been pending two years. Phillips is recognized officially now as head of the Republican state committee of Georgia, and as such distributes all patronage. Georgia Republicans, both white and black, charge that Phillips is an interloper. They claim that their organization) of which Henry Lincoln Johnson is the head, dates back from the organization of the Republican party, and that the National Committee when it seated Henry Lincoln Johnson, R. J. Davis, C. P. Gore and J. H. Watson as the delegates from the state at large in 1920 put the stamp of regularity upon their organization. Of course, the verdict in the Phillips war fraud case will necessarily have an important bearing on Republican politics in Georgia. If the jury should return a verdict of guilt, the National Committee will find itself in an embarrassing position and will have to recode and accuse Mr. Johnson all the rights and functions of other national committee. However, if a verdict of not guilty be returned, there likely be contest from Georgia at the National Convention in Cleveland next June and the revelations in connection with it promise to be startling.

John looked up as he peeled the skin from another banana and said that as you walked up the street after you were eaten, for five dollars The crowd was silent; the fellow who said he couldn't finish snucked off and across the street. Annapolis, Md.—The Judiciary Committee of the House reported unavailably the race segregation bill for Baltimore City, introduced by Delegate Van Damker, Dem., of the Fourth District.

Shortly after John had finished and was talking to the grocery about eating three bushels of nice looking apples, some one asked him what the hardest thing was that he ever attempted to eat. He replied that it was a dozen lemons without sugar. "What was the easiest thing?" his questioner asked curiously. John studied a little while before he said: "Fourteen two pound spring chickens." Last summer when the watermelon on wagons inhabited Washington on the road to eat a 40 pound watermelon, rinse and all for a certain amount of cash; or he would eat the "goody" of the whole load, if made no difference to him. HUSBAND GIVEN $1,000BYCITY COURT JURY "Visitor" To Home of Herbert Hill Must Pay for Alleged Assault Last Year WIFE SPRINGS SENSATION Testifies Against Husband, But Jury Gives Him Full Damages Anyhow A husband and his two children faced his wife and a "visitor" to their home across the witness stand in City Court before Judge Duffy and a jury Friday and the former was given a verdict for $1,000. The damages were the largest granted in a simple assault case in recent years in this court. Plaintiff in the case was Herbert F. Hill, 614 Laurens street, inspector of billboard lights for the Cusack Company, outdoor advertisers, and the defendant, Charles W. Wesley, furniture dealer, 1316 Pennsylvania avenue. Hill accused Wesley of striking him down in front of his home on the night of June 11, 1923 about 10 o'clock. Hill testified that he was about to put his key in the door when Wesley ran up behind him and struck him with a hard object on the head. Fearing two other men who were Wesley, Hill said he fled. He asked $1,000 damages for the assault. Hill's sons, Howard, 12, and Walter, 10, testified for their father. Wesley admitted the assault, then he had been a "visitor" at the Hill home, and had been threatened by Hill, who had told several persons that he (Wesley) was after Hills, Chicago, Chicago (George Preston testified for Wesley). But the sensation came when Mrs. Jambia I. Hill, wife of the plaintiff, took the stand and testified against her husband. She also admitted that Wesley had been a "visitor" at the home. Wesley's testimony in pari was as follows: Q.-How long have you known Hill? Q.-Do you know seven years? Q.-Do you know his wife? A.-Yes, sir. Q.-You visited the house? A.-Yes, sir. Q.-Do you ever hear Hill make any threat against you? A.-Yes, sir. (Objected to; objection sustained). Q.-Will you tell the Court just what happened on June 11th? A.—Your honor, and gentlemen of the jury, on the 11th, on that parole, I will tell you here, here, die I will tell you the truth because God is my judge—I am Exalted Ruler of Monumental Lodge, and I had thirty-five sick on me, and I was out on my pay route— (Objected to.) WITNESS—I am giving my statement, and I am the truth. (Objected to.) WITNESS—and my sick carried me all over Baltimore; East Baltimore North Baltimore; South Baltimore; and as far as Sparrows Point. I came down Laurus street after Hill had been making threats, and said to Mr Monroe that is in the Court— (Objected to.) THE COURT—Tell what happened. A--I went and spoke to him. Herbert, what is the matter, don't I treat you right, you seem to be going wrong. I am an amateur. I am after your wife and giving me a bad name without a cause. I have helped you, and did everything I could: you got furniture from me, you got a bed from me, as a poor man to help you; now you seem to want to drag me down and fight your wife about me; I said, I wouldn't be to your house. He whiles around and goes in his back pocket and said, I will do so-and-so to you. I run my hand out of my pocket and I run back to the truck to knock him. I gruck him on the head he fell in the shoe store. Consulted His Wife Hill testified that Wesley visited his home "often" and that he had spoken to his wife about it. He denied ever beating his wife because Wesley came to the house and denied threatening Wesley after finding him there or ever carrying a pistol. Dog Electrocuted, Pastor Escapes Frederick, Md.

ELEVATORS SMALL COLLEGE New York, March 14.—White and colored elevator operators in apartment houses and office buildings are being organized together in the same union. It was announced today that James Welborn Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, would address an organization meeting to be held Sunday night, March 23rd, in the Y.

PREMIERE OF "GOD'S CHILLUN" SET BACK New York, Mar. 20—Premiere of "All God’s Chillin Got Wings" has been postponed from April 1st. Rehearsals have been halted and will not be resumed until May. Paul Robeson will meantime take Chas, Glippin’s place as leading character in “Roseanne” at the Lafayette next week. Calling attention to the fact that the play was designed to help racial conditions, Eugene O’Neill, white, the playright, declared the race he would be attached to the fact that the heroine is to be Mary Blair, white, and the hero Robeson in his play, Robeson, he recalled, played the King to the queen of Margaret Wycherly, white, last year here, in the “Woodoo.” Afterwards they played the same play and moves to London. There was no talk of race rioting then. “Nothing could be farther from my wish than to stir up racial feeling. I hate it. It is because I am certain God’s Chillin’ does not do this, but on the contrary, I am more sympathetic understanding between the races through the sense of mutual tragedy involved, that I will stand by it to the end. I know I am right.” LIBERIA TURNS DOWN GARVEY OFFER Monroe, Liberia, Feb. 8, (Special) —President King has denied application of delegates of the U. X. I. A. to Liberia for an interview. He said interview can only be granted if it partakes of an un-official character and discussions to take place on a informational nature and as between private individuals. Any proposal suggesting location for 3,000 immigrants to Liberia must ultimately be denied. President told me that he is keeping his mind on the obligation of Liberia to the Great Powers, and as such to the maintenance of the Independence of the Republic.

C., March 20.—"Howard University has made a dangerous attack upon the morals of the teaching profession and her attitude is a measure to the smaller colleges of the country," declares a statement sent out by President Jas. D. Dudley, of A. & T. College, to the press of the country this week. The statement of President Dudley followed a vain protest to President L. Stanley Durkee, of Howard, against the employment of an English teacher at Howard while he was under contract until June 30, 1924 to A. & T. College. President Dudley declared he agreed to release this teacher as soon as he could find a substitute, but that the teacher left without notice as soon as he received his January check and is no longer required to repaint President Durkee refused to reply to his protests, the statement says, and concludes. I do not wish the return of the teacher who broke his contract with us, nor do I wish to embarrass the president of Howard University, whom I respect, nor do I in any way wish to injure the work of Howard University or any other educational institution. But I feel, in the interest of the taxpayers of North Carolina, whose money cannot produce the best results here under such treatment, and in the interest of honor itself, I am justified in appealing to the public to reinforce my protest against Howard University as a meme to the smaller institutions of the country and as a corrupter of the morals of the youth of our land, if such praetor to smite us properly. Washington, D. C. C. Howard University, it was given out the new teacher referred to in President Dudley's protest is Franklin Peters, a former instructor at A. & T. College. MISS.

For two years, Mr. Reard had a misery that conditioned him to his own statement: "All my neighbors if taught I would come coch in to what he says about it."

Goosby, the honored Republican Chairman of the 12th Senatorial District of Texas and well known all over the State, one wouldn't judge him to be a day over 50. The facts are he is 65 years old and has operated a barber shop in Bryan, Texas, for 44 years. He still works, standing at his chair every day.

RICHMOND THEATER PLANS CIRCUIT Ben Holmes who recently took over the management of the Royal Theater in Richmond, finding the house somewhat handcapped in the matter of attractions, resorted to special attractions independently booked to keep his house supplied. With the knowledge born of his experience in the thoroughly organized barque house of the Royal Theater, applying to bring some order out of the class that envelops many of the houses entering to Sergio audiences. He plans to form a wheel with the Revo as the hub, and to that end has begun advertising in the name of the Attributed Booking Circuit. His plan is that each manager who enters the organization will automatically become the owner of a producing franchise that will permit him to own and produce or have produced a show for the circuit. These shows to move from house to house precisely as do the attractions on the Columbia bushwalking circuit. He is also to vary in size from seven to twenty people. Vampire, musical comedy, drama and浸陶 units will be utilized so as to provide the variety that will maintain the interest of the audience. The opening of each show will take place at the Rayo, and it will be respected there and its rating established so that each theater owner will be assured of interactions up to the established standards. Each show will be invited to submit shows. Each show will be required to present more than one program. A number of managers have expressed interest and approval and Mr. Holmes expects to begin operations with six or seven houses by April 1 and slowly expand the circuit until the wheel includes twenty theatres and as many shows or units. The next company was engaged in the Rayo Rayo and will be presented at the "Rayo Funmakers." It numbers fourteen people and will remain in the Rayo 'till current arrangements are completed. Oscar Turner, who does a six-man ballet-house, and who calls himself a traveling musical entertainer, is do- ing his winter tour of Florida just now. He offers a twenty-four minu- act in conducible house, or does an award show independently in small towns. ORDER YOUR EASTER SUIT NOW Our Spring Line in all the new styles on display.

The Putman, Brooklyn, re-opened last week after being dark for a year. The opening bill had Princess Mysteria as the head-line attraction. To date no action has been taken upon the protest of certain owners of Columbia Wheel Show who wanted to all white or all colored troupes. The Jimmy Cooper show at the Palace this week, which carries a cast half white and half black, was reported to be the real "home of contention" (not justification). Gus Hill, the producer, holds two franchises on the Columbia Circus, and the Columbia home office to make one of the Hill shows an all-colored aggregation. The proposal is under adversary action, asking through Hill argues that recently Negro organizations have been playing at $3 top have dignified the Negro show idea to the extent it should be all right for vanville. If the Hill show plan is okeyed he is going to recive "Octoons" as a gift he has never had an all-colored show. Isham's Octoons' appearing before the Columbia Circuit was organized, and the exhibition above, there are approximately 20 Columbia Companies carrying acts of color.

Twenty-six of the victims were colored being women. The roll of honor contains the names of thirty-nine States, which had no lynchings in 1923. Places on the roll were earned during the last year by South Carolina, Alabama, and Tennessee. It is the first year since compere-recensions on lynchings have been kept that Carolina and Alabama been free from the crime. Only four States in the Union have never had a lynching. They are Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. The lynchings of 1923 were common to groups of the South Central States were guilty of the crime.

Phipps Senator Phipps, Rep. Col. has introduced a bill in the Senate giving Howard University an appropriation of $500,000 for improvements and additions to the medical school. This is the fourth attempt to get this appropriation through the other three having failed. By Morics Brown Washington, March 21.—Howard University will get from Congress an appropriation of $207,500 for maintenance and $157,000 for the completion of the athletic field and gymnasium. House Adopts Report The House adopted the conference committee's report 209 to 106. Rep. Madden (Rep. Ill.) and Rep. Burton (Rep. Ohio) vigorously supported the motion. Rep. Brynes (Dem. S.C.), Lowery (Dem. Miss.) and Carter (Dem. Okla.) opposed it bitterly. Brynes contended, first, that there was no law authorizing these appropriations and that if the Congress is to continue to approve for Howard University might have the mayor to legislate and the mayor to legislate in which these appropriations shall be made." School of Religion The latter part of his argument was that the appropriation should not be made because the university maintains a school of religion, and because of the lack of the particular reference to the address of the Rev. Francis J. Grimke, a member of the board of trustees and pastor of the 15th Street Presbyterian Church, which he delivered at the seventh annual conference of Howard University on November 20, 1923. Refers to Dr. Grimke Mr. Byrnes charged that the only effect of the teaching of such doctrine as that in Dr. Grimke's address was "to poison the minds of these students, arouse their prejudice against the white people of the country, make them discontented with their lot in life, and disturb the harmonious relations now existing." He read excerpts from the address. However, at the request of Mr. Crampton he inserted it in tail in The Congressional Record. The gist of it was simply that it is something wrong with the Christian faith, which "hays greater emphasis upon the color of a man's skin than upon his Christian character." Madden Replies "The time has come," replied Representative Madden, of Illinois, "when I think we ought to answer the gentlemen who live in the Southern States when they denounce the propriety or wisdom or right of the Government to make a contribution to this institution for the education of those who, in a sense, are ostracized from all institutions of learning outside of their race." Mr. Madden declared that the "Southern States contribute directly to the maintenance of their universities, but they do not need any colony, or institution, to fund the universities of the South." This statement brought Larsen, of Georgia, Byrnes, of South Carolina, and Clark, of Florida, to their feet to assert that each of the States they represent provided some kind of a separate school for Negroes. Madden Scores Brynes Mr. Madden declared that Mr. Byrnes did not believe in the advancement of the colored race. "Now, why should you object to the favorable consideration that is being given to this problem?" he asked. "Are you afraid to educate the Negro? Do you want to keep him in ignorance? Do you want to prevent him from becoming a factor in the commercial and industrial life of the Nation? Objection has been made from time to time against the appropriation of funds for the maintenance of Howard University, and opposition to this proposal at this time is not the only opposition that has been made by the gentlemen from South Carolina (Mr. Byrnes), and I undertake to secure that our opinion as to the what of what I say that he has objected to this proposal before. This is not the first occasion. He does not believe in the advancement of the colored race." GRAND RECEPTION Centennial M. E. Church gave a very fine reception to his pastor and family on Monday night, March 17. The program was given by the Carle Ross Sewing Circle and the Fredrick Douglas Gleeb Club. Visitors present were Rev. R. S. Carro, St. Stephen, Dr. W. R. Hughes, Rev. J. H. E. Carter, Rev. G. A. Davis, Mr. B. R. Briggs and Prof. Howard Gross. The lecture room was beautifully decorated. Handsome purses were presented to Rev. and Mrs. Briggs. The year was 1915, and the committee deserves great credit for the way in which the reception was conducted. The Virginia Baptist Association has launched its educational rally for the upkeep of the' Virginia Theological Seminary and College. The quota set for the State of Virginia is $50,000. Of this amount will be raised to be used for Lynchburg, L. Heurent Sze Fraternity, under the leadership of the fraternity's campaign director, is trying to raise $5,000. Pastor Given Auto Mt. Sinai Baptist Church, Ashland avenue and Hillman street, celebrates the inauguration of its pastor, Rev. J. H. Taylor, this Thursday by presenting him a new Cadillac sedan. The sentinel location is at the church following a pastoral reception and celebration at which a number of prominent layers and laymen make addresses. Under Rev. Dr. Taylor, grown large in Mr. Smith Aptist Church, Amherst avenue and Hillman street, celebrates the 20th anniversary of its pastor, Rev. J. H. Taylor, this Thursday night by presenting him a new Cadallac sedan. The presentation will take place at the church following a pastoral reception and celebration at which a number of prominent local ministers and laymen will make addresses. Under Rev. Dr. Taylor the church has grown large in membership and influence. The Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, now sitting at Ames Memorial Church, is very quiet on the surface. That is because as much of the sea know big fish do not swim at the sea level of water. Up at Carney and Baker streets there is much in the making. Politics, yes, but not merely office seeking. At least four big questions are the subjects of many inferences. These questions prelude or prologues to the General Conference meet in May in Springfield, Mass. Educational Merger The biggest of the questions is that of merger of all the sandy boards that have been adding education and uplift. The higher-ups want a community chest, a denominational alliance or general budget, and all monies thrown into one big hopper and pro-rated to needs as determined by a council of boards. The everyday fellows fear that small fish will as the saying goes, be swallowed up. Church Union Methodism is about to reunite at last. A plan has been worked out whereby the Methodist, Church, North, and Methodist Church, South, will come together as jurisdiction No. 1 and jurisdiction No. 2. About the most that can be said for it is that it drops "North" and "South" and minutes "T" and "E" and they are to mute in a general conference and ultimately it is hoped that they may endorse. More Negro Bishops Not a few of the beotheren are out for additional bishop for the race. The editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, Dr. King, has proved it with facts, figures. The possible material is shaking both material on the back and otherwise reminding one another conversions. Eulscopal Residence It is being whispered about that a strong effort is to be made to put a time limit on the residence of the bishops. Some of the favored ones have held their districts eight, twelve, sixteen, and even twenty years, while other men were forced to continue in his desired districts. What the outcome will be can't be foretold, but this is mentioned as an evidence of the rise of the idley. Morgan College Much interest is felt in the movement to secure for Morgan College the $50,000 promised or condition of raising $150,000 from the general public. It is going the rounds that the failure of the institution to put this over would prove a serious institution for this Maryland institution. Minister Surprised Thirty-two officers and teachers of Asbury M. E. Sunday-school assembled at the home of Rev. N. B. Carrington, Wednesday evening, and tendered him a farewell reception and surprise. Mrs. M. B. Johnson and Mrs. C. T. Stewart, superintendent.

This is a wonderful chance for prove its desire to deal properly with on. The recent recommendation in the report of the Commission sent to make a study of the Virgin Islands should receive the most serious considerations of this government. When a nation assumes to take charge of a subject people it automatically assumes the responsibility of bringing that people up to the level of living and prosperity enjoyed by itself. Conditions in these islands show that something must be done to keep the constantly growing population from submerging into lower and lower living standards. Their decreasing industries shown by a falling off of their exports from $3,500,000 to $755,000 in one year is alarming. It is a simple problem of adjusting their agricultural and industrial opportunities. Another good suggestion that should meet with immediate favorable consideration is the interchange of teachers from colored colleges in this country with those of the islands, and the making full American citizens of its electorate. This is a wonderful chance for this country to prove its desire to deal properly with an island possession. MUSSEL SHOALS FOR FORD There was great joy and jubilation in both white and colored people when presentations at Washington passed the Mussle Shoals plant to Henry Ford. He effort to let this wizard of industry fertilizer and power property involves a than the mere possession of the prer fertilizer. It would work a radical ch and working conditions of Negroes in the South and there are plenty of in all sections of the country who d There was great joy and jubilation in the South among both white and colored people when the House of Representatives at Washington passed the measure to lease the Mussle Shoals plant to Henry Ford. The effort to let this wizard of industry develop this great fertilizer and power property involves some things deeper than the mere possession of the property and cheap fertilizer. It would work a radical change in the wages and working conditions of Negroes as well as whites in the South and there are plenty of big industrialists in all sections of the country who do not want this. Ford was the first man to set a minimum wage price of $5 per day for any colored laborer in the South. Long before the war owners of plants who had been able to exploit the labor of workers looked with disfavor on this man who would "ruin Negro labor" by giving better wages and working conditions. It is hoped, therefore, that this measure will get through the Senate where no doubt it will face its real fight. The fertilizer trusts, the big steel industries and the big financiers whose prosperity depends of keeping wages low are fighting Ford but the rank and file of the common people will keep an eye on how that vote goes in the Senate. MARYLAND INTER-RACE COMMISSION MARYLAND INTER-RACE COMMISSION The State Legislature has passed the joint resolution authorizing Governor Ritchie to appoint a commission of 21 to study the welfare of colored people and report at the next legislature. The idea originated with the Rev. George F. Bragg, Jr., and was sponsored by a group of citizens headed by Mr. T. J. Calloway. The possibilities of such a commission are beyond question as the excellent results obtained by similar efforts in Illinois, Pennsylvania and other States will show. Here in Maryland it is patent to the most casual observer that there is not enough general interracial cooperation in working out the big problems of common economic, civic and industrial welfare. It is hoped that, whatever the personnel, the approach of this commission will be from the standpoint of a faithful scientific study based on carefully accumulated facts. There will be some knotty social problems, around which has raged considerable turmoil. These must be met bravely by both races, but aside from these there is the agricultural, housing, educational and city industrial program to perfect to the end that every citizen, white and colored, might look upon this as the greatest commonwealth in the land. The appointment of this commission is in line with progressive dealing with the racial problem. OLD TIMER LOST IN LONDON FOG London, England, March 1, No. 4, Pinchley Road, No. 6, N. W.

STARS of stage and screen Stockholders Protected Taking into consideration the Standard's business so far had been placed on the books only through a very careful medical selection and the Mississippi Life, considering the wide differences in the personnel of the organization, our attention was then given to the protection of the policyholders and stockholders of the Mississippi Life. In selling the business to the Southern Life Insurance Company, the policyholders are fully protected, and the stockholders will receive approximately from $300 to $310 per share, whereas before the sale, the company's being impaired, the stock was worth less than $100 per share. The Southern Life Insurance Company informed us that it is Home Office Department of the Southern Life, as far as the colored business was concerned, from the Memphis office, with a colored personnel, Home Office employees and officers, together with an Agency Organization. Standard Earned $75,000 The Service Company, in buying this business and merging it into the Standard, had planned a greater Standard Life. The Service Company paid for 725 shares $128,000.00 cash, together with $15,000 covering the amount that had been paid by Mrs. Cox, to cover an impairment a few years ago. When the Mississippi Life Affairs are liquidated, the Service Company will receive approximately $225,000, or a profit on their investment of from $75,000 to $100,000. In the sale of the Mississippi Life the policyholders were protected; the stockholders will receive about three times or more in value for their stock when liquidation is completed and the personnel of the organization who might not care to continue its service would be taken care of by us and lastly, the Service Company made a profit on its investment. Sale No. Compair. In view of the fact we had offered the company to the North Carolina Mutual, the Afro-American Insurance Company, and to R. K. Church, and considering the sale as above outlined, we feel that the best step has been taken under the circumstances. The liquidation of the Mississippi Life has not yet been completed, same held up by an injunction of a stockholder who owns one share, at Jackson, Mississippi. Unless the liquidation is affected by this suit, the stockholders will be well pleased we are satisfied with the outcome.

Embarrassing Moment PRIZE WINNER I am blind and employed at the Mairy Workshop. My girl friends there call me May Flower because of the perfume I always use. One day last week while riding on a local car to work, I was puzzled by a sniffing sound made by someone next to me. I concluded the person must have a cold. Soon the person touched me and asked: "Are you not Miss Valentine?" "I recognized him as one of the blind gentlemen working at the same place as I and replied: "Yes." How did you recognize me?" He said: "Why, by the sweet smell of the powder you always use. Will you powder me?" Someone across the aisle laughed. No use saying I was embarrassed. You can guess that I certainly was. Miss T. VALENTINE. 610 N. Fulton Ave. Health: Problems W. F. Q.—I have an unpleasant taste in my mouth and my tongue feels sore, as if there were blisters on it. What causes this? A.—Indigestion is probably the cause of your trouble. Anxious Q.—is there remedy for burns caused by indigestion? A.—Treat a burn from indoline as any other. Ionic acid ointment is good. M. T. Q.—Why does my Adam's apple extend out and what can be done to put it back in place? A.—The size and shape of your Adam's apple are the answer to the amalgamation of the cartilages of your neck. There is nothing you can do to change it. P. M. Q.—My nephew, 2 years of age, has been having peculiar spells, such as suddenly falling and becoming frightened for no reason. Kindly advise me to do something to digestive trouble. Take the child to your physician for a careful examination and treatment. Mrs. J. M. Q.—In the morning when I arise I am always cold and chilled. My husband's face is always hot and flushed. What causes these conditions? A. You are probably suffering from a cold infection, while your husband may have slightly high blood pressure. You should both submit to a thorough physical examination and follow the doctor's advice. G. B. V. Q.—I have a lump on the back of my neck. Could this be remedied by using limiment of some sort? I go to school and see a lot. Could it be caused from this exercise? A. The symptoms you mention may be due to a fatty tumor that would require removal by an operation. Consult a physician for an examination and advice. G. D. W. Q.—The skin just below my finger nails is always split. This is painful, as I have to play the piano at night and operate a typewriter in the daytime. What will prevent the skin splitting?

Unhappy Girl—You can not start a correspondence with the young man without appearing bold. It is his place to take the initiative. Uncertain—Continue your friendship with the young man a while longer until you are certain of his integrity. If your love stands the test of time, accept his proposal. Brown Eyes—Your next action depends entirely upon the cause of the quarrel. If you were at fault, as well as the young man, invite him to your home and endeavor in a way to renew the friendship. Do not return the ring altogether this time, for that would be adding oil to the fire. However, if you feel that you can not, with pride, follow this suggestion, return the ring. Worried—If, when in the company of your other friends, the young man gave you all his attention, he would undoubtedly be considered rude and ill-mannered. You must remember that also the young man professed to love you, he is not engaged to you and probably has many other girl friends. There is no way of making him care more for you than he does. It will be wise for you not to devote too much time to him, but instead enjoy the companionship of all your friends. Ruth—If your parents object to your attending public dances, you should not do so. If they approve, you need not be influenced by the opinion of others. Dear Annie Roney—I am a woman 28 years old. For five years I have been going with a man two years my senior, whom I deeply love. For the last two years, atamas, I was engaged in an engagement, but both times I was disappointed. Shall I ask him his intentions. MAGGIE. Until girls accept the friendship of young men as it is offered to them they are doomed to disappointment. It is entirely possible that this man has no intention of merrying at all. Have you not been a little foolish to have permitted yourself to think of him as other than a good friend? Unless he proposes and you become formally engaged, you should not continue yourself to his friendship alone.

One player, who is "U," tries to hit one of the other players with a soft ball, but the ball becomes "K" and must try to tag others in the same way. When a player fails to hit the one at whom the ball comes, the ball throws it at some one else. In the school-room, where the seats and desks interface with this, any adjacent play must back to the one who is "U." Players may dodge in any way, by stepping, jumping, or moving sideways. When there are many playing, it is advisable to have two or three who are "U," in which case there will be two or three balls or bean bags in the room, and the game is much more rapid. If played in the school-room, a light gas ball or ball bag should be used. Outdoors, anything from midweight hard ball to its suitable, hard ball should be avoided.

So one week something got wrong with the oven at the baker shop and they had to get a new one, which it would take a week to put in. He told me that the oven had been baked the best bread he ever tasted and maybe she would bake it for him until he got his oven out in. So the baker agreed, and my friend came and told me about it and the baker said he would pay me ten dollars that week: so I thought I would try it. The baker supplied me with all my needs and a bread and milk work, which the people liked so well, that he decided not to get an even and told me he would give me fifteen dollars a week, if I would content to keep it up. As I had no other job I decided to keep it which I enjoy very much Now I have rented a house where I do gil my baking. H. B. Brunswick, Md.

Howard discharged the old agents and employed some honest "Don't shoot!" Whitman begged thickly. Howard laughed aloud. "I am glad you are taking an interest in me again!" "What do you need?" I picked up you and brought you none. He seemed to be no responder. He seemed to be turning the matter over in his mind. "Then he said, in a more comfortable tone." "Frankly," he not meant to appear rude or onenous, "forward explained from his seat before the desk," but I have taken the liberty or looking over your papers after a tip from you in your enforced sleep, and I I've come across a number of matters here that ought to be more money on them." "Who are you?" demanded Howard. "I am a lawyer." "What's your name?" "Howard—I am nowward. My grandfather borrowed the name from the man who owned him and we kept it ever since." "What do you mean, 'owned him?' "My grandfather was a slave." "Onassis, of course." Wattman felt unhappy at his own lack of joy. He began to think about his own name, the great name of Whiteman. Suddenly he said with a must look of astonishment in his eyes. His name is three generations old—mine is three hundred—yet here you are tonight saving my life and telling me what to do with my property! Your ancestors poked around naked in a jungle while mine were the companions. "You can't reach back over three hundred generations." Howard countered, "you can't reach back over one generation and influence your ancestors and they can't accept in a slight and shadowy way." "What do you mean by that?" "I mean every whole man has a chance. Every whole mind has the work to do. Your ancestors were soft that doesn't harms you to inactivity, except as you let it. Because mine were ignorant that doesn't learn." "You've evidently!" "There are fundamental facts and truths in the world.

Now do you see any hope in that mats of papers there you. That's what he presents me. Or maybe what was driving the wild before I left the house tonight." Howard went into close and careful study of the papers before him taking up packet to packet to ask questions concerning them and to make no more concern on small sheets of papers which he attached to each packet as he finished with it. Finally Whitman left the divan and drew a chair up to the desk. The two men, who were strangers to each other on a dark street, worked earnestly till the blooming of a big clock called their attention to the fact that a few hours sleep would undoubtedly put them into better form to pursue an interesting matter. It was very late indeed when Howard closed the front door of the Whitman mansion and hurried off over the frosty pavements. He arose very early the next day, hurried up the building in order he operated the elevator. He gave up his job there and turned it over to a young substitute who had been hoping for many a day that Howard's law business would pick up so that he might have a steady job on the elevator. Howard was at Whitman's house at nine o'clock, by arrangement with that gentleman and together they started forth to begin the interesting matter of reclaiming Whitman's brown brick in which Whitman had a safety deposit box and there Howard found that Whitman had neglected to cut the coupons on a dozen bonds for a number of years. They found stock in a stone quarry in Vermont and no dividends from had lazily guessed "was done for or worked out." Upon investigation by Howard the stone quarry was found to be in working order. An unscrupulous manager had been jocketing with other investors, other stocks carelessly bought that were now piled in mounds of worthless paper. Howard discovered that Whitman had valuable real estate holdings on the north shore and that on owned several large buildings, but however, were still shim nothing. Early in the afternoon Howard and Whitman went around to these buildings and found that dishonest agents had been renewing leases and collecting rents. They had early discarded that Whitman was the owner of his own reports of repairs made, made none, and pocketed the money.

HARRISON WALLEL Mardela Springs had never known, just why he should be expected to pour over figures when he hired someone to do it. Like he had checks he should to dribble in. Howard discharged the old agents and employed some that could be trusted to make honest reports. He ordered necessary items and plenty of small matters to attend to that would keep him busy and that would awaken his interest in his own affairs without taxing him to do so. As they were inspecting the base as one of the buildings they came across a man who was badly crippled. He had paid no rent for two months. He responded to your?" Whitman asked. "I got crushed in a shaft at the coal yards." "Did you get any compensation," Howard inquired. "I got nothing," gasped the man. "Not even a civil word and I been haulin' for 'um for years." After some more questioning Whitman covered that the man had injured while in the employ of a company whose president had been a close friend of his father's. He reimbribed a note to him on his desk and Howard went to see the president of the company in behalf of the injured man. He got in simply because of the magic name of Whitman for it was the president of the company that Whitman's fortune had dwindled. "Who are you?" the president asked astonished at the sight of the neat Negro who stood before him. "Are you Whitman's刃劫 "I am his attorney," Howard enjoyed the astonishment that rose into the other's face. "Mr. Whitman's tenant has a just claim against you, but we don't provide to press with will until settlement. I the settler was made. As Howard left the office the president called him back. "I liked the way you handled this matter. I didn't intend to付 any事情 when you came in here, but you made it here—our attorney is crowded with work just now and I wish you would handle these small cases for one that are right over in the neighborhood of Whitman's property." Blindfolded Howard. The days were soon filled for both Howard and Whitman. While it was impossible to recover but a limited portion of Whitman's wealth he acquired something that stood him in much better stead. He gained an interest in Whitman before he received it. Whitman negotiated the sale of his north shore property, retaining one lot on which he advised Whitman to erect a modern apartment hotel. These are just a few of the reasons that enabled Howard and for his sake he takes her away to a station in a shining new car to a pretty little house that he had bought for her on a wide boulevard on the south side of Chicago. He talks about luck—Whitman definition would probably be "Work, something to fill up one time—I call that good luck." We already know Howard's definition, "Luck is hard work." But, however, we must or it twist, the old riddle of the chicken and the egg. It does not matter which came first in this instance—luck or work, for they both served to bring together two strangers in the dark and created association a lucy and an association a way to happiness and success—THE END.

Word has been received this week from Erik Pullen, the big catcher, and McClure, the new right hand pitcher, that they have left their homes in Los Anies, California, en route here, stopping off at the ballpark, Cal, to take the sulphur baths. Five letters were received by Manager Spedden on Monday morning including missives from Connie Day, Manager Pete Hill, pitcher Force and McClure. All of the men are anxious to get East and start the season. Indications are, according to Spedden, player signed up, will report at Black Sox Park ready for work April 2nd. Connie Day's desire to drive the Sox new white truck to carry the players around the circuit may not be fulfilled. "The ball players have enough to do during a double header without thinking about the truck," Manager Spedden said today. "I am afraid it will be too hard on Connie." Want Medicine Ball In his letter the Six second sacker asked the management to provide the team with a medicine ball to be used in the preliminary training. A big reception is also planned at the Albert Auditorium where the fans will get a chance to meet new players before the season starts. "Duck" Gibson Is Umpire The name of "Duck" Gibson, athletic director of the high school, has been suggested as umpire for the ball games this season in place of Charlie Thomas, who was thought to have had the job cinched. Director Glisson, it is reported, has declared that he would accept the job. Sox would make no mistake in getting hold of Gibson because he is one of the squarer men in the game and has an eye like an eagle. When the Eastern League meets, probably this Saturday, Charles Spedden's motion may go through whereby the umpires will rotate city to another inbound officiating at one park throughout season. Maryland Park To Be Painted The Sox park at Westport will have a new coat of green and white paint before the season starts. Lumber arrived at the park this week with which the open stands will be fixed up. Steam rollers are also soon to be sent there to work on the outfield, which has been cut somewhat by players in the Sun's soccer games. The infield will be refilled with roll and rolled down. Game plans are planned for April 6th, with the Baltimore highlands, white, of Landsdown; April 8rd, American Chail Co., white; April 20th, Ben Taylor's Potomac; April 26th, the season starts with the Bacharach Glants. JUDGE FOR YOUR Th MadamC.S Call VErnon 6016 BLACK SOX PLAYERS NO.5 Percy F. Wilson, 1st baseman, born in New Orleans, March 3rd, 1899, started baseball career as a pitcher with the Leland University of New Orleans in the year of 1914. In 1915 played 1st base with N. O. Red Sox, and was with that club until 1923 when he came north and played 1st base for the Milwaukee Club of the Negro.National League, under the management of Pete Hill. Wilson throws right handed, bats right and left, and is very fast. FLA. BASEBALL SEASON ENDS FLA. BASEBALL SEASON ENDS Palm Beach, Fla., Marsh 20. (Py W. T. Willis).—Baseball season closed here last Tuesday. There were over 600 help in the Poincarne and Breakers hotels and more guests than ever since the Professional baseball teams representing the two hotels played two-five games. Ponce winning six, the Breakers, 5, and one game tied. Air-tight Big Dick Redding, for the Ponce, and Lefty Flourney, for the Breakers, were the opposing pitchers in a game and the back of the pitchers back of the best seen this season. Flourney nearly turned in a no-hit game as he sent the Ponce snuggers back helpless for the first six innings and had retired one baseball in the seventh when Thomas cracked out a clean single over second. Hedding was nicked twice, once by theney and the other by the other. Both blows came in the early frames. Because of the high wind fielders were forced to do some quick judging of flies and a number of sensational catches resulted. One was made by Wilson in the sixth, when Judy Johnson lifted a high one to right field. The wind came in and applauded it toward the second. Wilson was perched under it, but the last break of the wind nearly caused him to miss it as he was barely able to get his glove under it, falling and rolling over. Two fast double plays were recorded in the seventh inning, the first by the Pandian and on by Brett Cannon. Cannon was do when Russell tagged his grounder, but Allen drove on toward the hurler. Redding tossing to get Cannon and completing the play when he pegged to first. With one down Thomas singled in the last of the seventh and Joe Wesley came up to pitch. Wesley was second to Johnson, second by tossing to Cannon and Cannon tossed to first to get Williams. Breakers ..... 000 000 0-0 1 2 Pollinacan ..... 000 000 0-0 1 2 Batteries-Flourney and B.

J., Mar. 20—Fifteen players, including five pitchers and two catchers have signed contracts with the Bacharach Giants in the Eastern League. John Henry Lloyd, shortstop for Hildale last season, succeeds Dick Lundy, brilliant shortstop of the Bacharach Giants, who, will again aport in the Giants' infield, Lloyd is to perform at the second sack. Three of the five hurlers who will perform on the mound for the Bacharach Giants are veterans from last season, including Arthur Henderson, Charley Harper and Fred Lockhart. The newcomers are Ben (Hooks) Mitchell, diminutive southpaw finger and Fred Bransham. Bill Gatewood, veteran catcher with the old Bacharach Giants several years ago, and Bill Jones, prominent youngster, will do the bulk of the receiving for the Giants this year.

The game was a one-sided affair all the way through with Morgan in the lead and apparently shooting goals at will. Morgan's machine worked without a hitch and in nearly perfect unison. Storer seemed unable to make sure he did score a point until near the end of the first half, while Morgan had 18 to their credit. Dillingham and Young were the stars for Morgan, having shot four goals each. The work of Hill is to be commended also. Bell didn't get in the game until near the end of the second period, but the little time he was in action he was ever. He did not fail to use plenty of grey plays in connection with his plays. Brown and Briscoe were the outstanding players for Storer, having shot 2 and 2 goals respectively. Bruner and Jones played hard but "lady luck" in the form of Pritchard and Gale seemed to be against them. The score at the end of the first half was 6-13 in favor of Morgan.

Napoleon Cummings, veteran first sacker, will perform at his old post, with Lloyd on second base; Dick Lundy in shortfield and Ambrose Reed cavorting at the third base. Milton Lewis, who played second base for the Giants last season will be playing his familiar role this spring.

JANITOR WANT JANITOR WANT JANITOR WANT By "Jim" WATSON MOHR COACH AT CUBAN LEAGUE GREETINGS To The CONFERENCE Kendlers ICE CREAM The Velvet Kind Chicago, Mar. 30—A telegram that read: "I am sending herewith my resignation as head of athletes at Wilberforce University, to take effect immediately," was sent to the officials at Wilberforce by Dean Mohr last Saturday morning. Continual muddling and meddling with affairs of the team was the reason, as rumor has it. Dean Mohr refused to discuss the situation when approached by a reporter from The Washington Post. "The inside of the action," was all the dean would say. "I do not think this is the proper time to go into details. I will say, however, that the school officials have been very unfair, even refusing to hand our great accomplishments as winners of inter-collegiate sports. Personally, on the part of certain individuals is all I can see." The Wil伯force basketball team under Mohr won 14 games, and lost one this season. Among its victims were 10: Morehouse, 38-19; W. Va. Inst., 29-9. The only game lost was to W. Va. Inst., 14-23.

The club house has three departments—cleaning five individual shower baths, lockers, and all modern improvements. There is also a drying room for the uniforms on the second floor. Among the new men who have signed with the team are Harry C. Kenyon, of Arkadelphia, Ark., who was a star outfielder with the Foster's A. B. C.'s of Chicago last season. Fred Texas' Barnet and Richard J. string catcher a sensational shortstop with the A. B. C.'s of Chicago last season; Otis Starks, pitcher, formerly with the Brooklyn Royal Giants, and Richard Gee, catcher, who was with the Lincoln's a while last season. Seales, Holt, Streeter and Wilson, of last season's team, who have played at Palm Beach, and Dave Brown, Holland and Marcell, who played the past winter with the Santa Clara team in Havana, Cuba, will return to the city on March 17th and begin practice with the team.

Johnston, promoter and manager, said last week that Louis Firpo has agreed to fight Harry Wills at the Cronwell A. C., next summer. He made the decision after a conference with William McCarnay, American representative of the Argentinian. Buddy Richards, of 1312 Roy street, North Braddock, Pa., challenges anything in the lightweight class, including wild cats. Joe Fox wants team of good colored boxers to go to Argentine and him Jim Jeeves. Joe's address is 333 Monroe street, Grand Rapids, Mich. Firpo, in a recent statement, declared that he knew nothing about any arrangements that had been made for a meeting with Harry Wills. Chuck Suggs, of Newport, next fight will be with Irish Johnny Curtin, of Jersey City, about March 24th. A straw vote was taken among the fans that daily visit the gymnasium at Louisville, as Jefferson Athletic Club at Louisville, as the greatest fighter that ever lived. Joe Gans walked away with the honors by a big margin. Bob Fitz-Simmons was second and Joe Walcott third. It will be at least three weeks before Leo Anderson will be able to don the gloves. His right hand which was traced by a scout's sensational fuss was at the Commonwealth Club, will take at least that length of time to heal. HOTTES SPECIAL Starched Collars Broken sizes 25c 6 for.....

As he started to leave the place, the officer proceeded to beat him up. Man Dismissed Upon hearing this evidence and after questioning the officer as to the cause for arresting the man, the Magistrate warned the officer that he was in the practice of beating up innocent men and then placing charges against them was not going with him. "You will get yourself in trouble by lying and another case there like this," he said. Demison was dismissed. Say Practice Common Those familiar with the police department say that while most of the officers in the department exercise the proper use of the privilege of taking delight in beating up innocent and helpless colored men and women. On many occasions men have been brought into the station so helplessly drunk that they could not harm a baby, and it was often used to "suduce" them with their clubs. In other instances it seems that a few of the officers whose zeal to make arrests outweighs their honesty and regard for truth and fair play, have gotten into the habit of arresting men, and for almost any trivial cause, and often for no cause at all. But the worst of these practices involve arresting innocent colored men and women and beating them up, after which charges are filed against them to get the sympathy of the Magistrates. Magistrate Ranft told a reporter for this paper that when he knew of such practices he would not permit it in his court.

Call VErnon 6016 Fight Over Dog May End Fatally Wesley Falls, 24, 1816 Thomas street, is hovering between life and death at the Colonial Hospital us a result of a blow from a batchet given by Walter Wilson, 1813 Cavaughan street, Sunday. Wilson, who admits striking the blow when he had an altercation over a dog, was given a boering Monday morning at the Northwest Police Station and is being held to await the outcome of the blow. The trouble between the men is said to have started when a dog belonging to Wilson went into the room of Falls and an argument led to blows. In the light Wilson picked up a bathtub and struck Falls, crushing his skull. Hospital attendants fear that he will not live POLITICIANS BARRED COLONEL YOUNG Capt. Wm. Creigler at Memorial Meeting Accuses Ohioans of Keeping Colonel From 372nd SPEAKER STIRS CROWD Dr. Jos. Lockerman and Hugh Burkett Also Honored at O. P. P. Memorial Meeting "Ohio politicians kept the late Colonel Charles Young from going to France as colonel of the 372 Infantry." This declaration from Captain Wm. Greigler of the First Separate Company, Maryland National Guards staged a huge audience gathered at Bethel Church Sunday afternoon to memorize the late Colonel Young, Hugh M. Parked and De. Jes. Lockman. The setting was held under the auspices of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. Dr. A. L. Gaines provided L. John W. Love of Washington, gave the history of Col. Young's life from a cadet at West Point to the point where he was highest ranking officer of the race in the army, lieutenant colonel, in line to be raised to colonel and to brigadier general during the war, when he was mustered out on account of physical disability. At the time, it was charged that a prejudiced War Department put Col. Young on the retired list because It did not wish to elevate a race man to the post of general in the army. It was also recalled that the country went to Washington last year to attend the funeral services which were held in Arlington amphitheatre. Capt. Creigler, who followed, declared that there may have been discrimination on the part of the War Department whereby Col. Young was barred from overseas service, but Ohio politicians were responsible for the Colonel refusing to accept the command of the 372nd Infantry when it was mobilized for service abroad. According to the Captain, the 32d Division all colored troops were at Camp Stuart, Va., in 1918. The division was made up of the 8th Illinois, 15th, N. Y., and a third regiment, consisting of national guard troops of Maryland, Ohio, Kentucky, setts and Washington, D. C. This last manned regiment was without a understaff of the officers voted unanimously to offer the post to Col. Young. Thru the influence of Ohio politicians, it was offered the Colonel, but only under the conditions that he would name his staff as dictated by the Ohioans. Colonel Young turned down the request the reply that he commanded in the war, and his hands were tied. Efficiency, the colonel said, was the only basis of promotion and appointment in the army. The effort to get Col. Young off the retired list and restored to a command in the army overseas, was a national issue during the war, and the declaration that politicians of the race had a hand in keeping the much loved officer at home, was like the explosion of a bombshell in an otherwise calm and serious assembly. Other speakers were: Miss Edith Cooper, acting principal of the Training School, who eulogized Dr. Joseph Lockerman as late principal of that school, and Rev. W. W. Walker, who eulogized the late Hugh M. Burkett, pioneer dealer of the Bank of Hawaii, financial secretary of the A. M. E. Church, delivered an address on "The Measure of the Man." Muscle furnished by members of the Training School and Morgan College. James Smallwood, 15, 1031 N. Carey street, was struck by an automobile driven by Rev R. B. Barnum, 1161 N.

They will return April 15. Mr. Lane is matriculated at the University of Heidelberg, and is studying for the degree of hour of philosophy at the graduate of university. His wife attended the same courses with him there as a visitor. Trip A Honeymoon **Trip A Honeymoon** The couple I attend school abroad shortly after their honeymoon regarded the trip as a honeymoon and planned to remain abroad two years until Mr. Lane had earned his doctorate. They returned however in order to witness the interment of Mrs. George Lane, their mother, who died of acute kidney disease weeks ago. The family is now reunited for the first time in many years. They will separate at the end of this week, when Mrs. Jewett Lane Singleton, a sister, will leave for her home in St. Paul, and Mrs. Bennie Lane West, another sister, will return to Rome. The third sister, Mrs. Maud Lane Booker, will remain until after Easter, when she will leave for her home in Portland, Oregon. Taken For East Indian Abroad Mr. Lane declared he was frequently taken for a Chihuahua, a Jap, East Indian and South American, seldom for a North American Negro. Trips into cities of the Ruhr, near Hiedeburg, showed him that France has put hundreds of snappily dressed Moroccan troops on guard there and who have taken over complete control, of customs and traffic on the Rhine and require a military pass from every person crossing bridges or entering boats. Food is cheap to be cheap, beefsteak cost 19 cents a pound and eggs 18 cents a dozen. Mr. Lau said his greatest difficulty at first was learning to handle German money. The Mark, four of which used to be worth one dollar, has so depreciated that now it takes four billion, 200 million of them to equiv an American dollar. The price has been steady since last December. Before that it fluctuated so rapidly that the prices were unable to keep up with the demand for bank notes of larger denominations. It was found necessary to take the 1000 mark note and print across it in red ink "Millarda Mark" (one billion marks). Good Morning Judge Mrs. Johnson Wanted Her Sweetie—Say Woman.

Hoffman street, and went to investigate. The vien and punch that Mrs. Johnson put into this investigation cost her $11.45 in the Northwestern office after she received the testimony of Miss Williams. Mrs. Johnson told them that she was going to have her Herbert out of there even if she had to slice up the whole family. Mrs. Johnson admitted to the Magistrate that did not make any difference where Herbert was concerned. She paid her fine. Say Woman Presided At Dice Party When officers from the Northwestern Police District jumped down on an alleged party at 510 W.

Somebody Else; Not Me When officers from the Southern Police District arrested Mack King Prince George County, charging him with bastardy, he had one long think. After running over his social history for some time he could not figure out how and where of his arrest. "That shuare must have been somebody else, not me," he told the Magistrate when arraigned, and to increase his bewilderment when the name of his focuser was called to and behold she was a white woman. It was not until she spoke that King began to get his natural breath. It happened that King was picked up on a warrant sworn out by Miss Mary Zealor, white, 2 Bemhoud road, near the officers in the Southern District picked up the wrong King. He was dismissed. Got Another Free Ride Because Arthur Leake, 1409 Argyle avenue, decided to get free taxi service Saturday by hiring a taxi knowing that he did not have the fare, he also got free taxi service Sunday from the Northwestern Police Station to the jail.

L. P. Petitions will be sent to the School Board urging increased school ac- commodations and playground space in the city, and immediate arrange- ments for the establishment of a trade and vocational school. Resolutions to this effect were passed by the Federated Parent- Teachers' Organization at their monthly meeting held at School 110 of last week. William McAbee, principal of the school, laid before the Federation the crying need of more school room space in that section of the city. In his building there are 600 half time pupils, while at Mount street there are 100. At the same time there are three white schools in this very neighborhood with low enrollment, among them School No. 12, with an exceedingly low enrollment for the number of rooms which it contains, and in his forceful remarks stressed the need of a strong unified organization which should be active in looking after the needs of our schools since here in Baltimore the colored schools are worse off than those of some cities further South. Such a suggestion, good or bad, would for the organization to publish a bulletin setting forth its aims, and accomplishments. At the invitation of "The School committees' Club" the executive committee under the leadership of the president, Mrs. Laura Wheatley was present at the last meeting of that body. They asked that there be more Negro literature and music in the school to emphasize the need of a full set of books for every pupil and an organized citizenry back of the schools. The club pledged its support to the Federation. Reports from the various clubs showed, in some instances, a wide range of activity and interest on the part of both parents and teachers. It was voted that the Federation ask the School board for: 1. School room space. 2. Increased playground space. 3. Vocation and Trade Schools. It was also voted to hold a large mass meeting during the present school term. ITIAL James W. Johnson To Speak On Haiti Here Secretary N. A. A. C. P.
