May 7—Police were called to quell an alleged near-crime last Monday here when some trouble arose concerning whether whites or Negroes would sit in front seats in the convention hall in the basement of the Shelby County courthouse. They directly how the trouble started, but a light got under way before the police arrived and restored order. It is said that chairs and lists were employed as weapons and several men of both races were slightly injured. None seriously. One race man was said to have been injured when he was struck by a chair head by a chair, which he claims that a white man hurled at H. H. R. Church, who escaped unhurt. It is said the Negro delegates took seats behind the white delegates after order was restored. Then the courageous C. H. King, leader of the Church faction, seized the chair and called the convention to order first, calling he made by the 'Taylor faction'—Lily whites, who then assumed control of the meeting, electing Henry Spears, first as temporary and then permanent chairman. King and his followers then 'bolted' and organized a convention of their own another section of the convention held life and death battles and a delegate-at-large, and adopted a set of resolutions endorsing President Coolidge. Feud Carried to Meeting in Knoxville Knoxville, Tennessee, May 8.—At an adjourned meeting held Tuesday afternoon by the State Republican executive committee, it was decided to pass the Shelby county contest up to the credentials committee. The Taylor-Church faction have served notice that they will not accept any compromise as has been the custom heretofore—that of seating both factions. The lily whites assume the same attitude. A hot time is expected at the convention in the settlement of the Shelby county entanglement. Both factions are determined to light every inch of the way. Fight Over Ga. Delegates Atlanta, Ga., May 8.—As the time for the Republican National Convention nears plans are being more definitely formulated by the two G. O. P. factions—the lily whites," headed by J. L.

(Continued On Page Six) Oil Scandal Involves A $500,000 Fortune Pairs, France, May 5—His Highness, Prince Ciojo Tovalona Houenon, a native of the French Congo, or Dohome, has organized here a Universal League for the Defense of Black Races. He is regarded as the Marcus Garvey of Europe. He is a Garvey chained to the support of the whole of Africa, while his Highness is mainly concerned in French Africa. According to Prince Cojo, the black races of French Africa are deprived of their rights of property, have no personality before the law, and are oppressed in their economic, individual, and social freedom. And he claims with much eloquence either "home rule or autonomy," for all African races, so that the organizing genius of the Negro may have full play. This European Garvey has even a newspaper to represent his organization. It is called "L'Action Coloniale", and is declared to be far more radical than the Negro World in America. 3,000 LAY CORNERSTONE Denver, Col., May 8.—The cornerstone for the new Y. M. C.

Miss Willie Beauty, daughter of a local minister, charged that during last October or November, Mr. Alston had taken her to the Jefferson Hotel and spent the night, on the first ballot taken by the jury Alston was unanimously declared not guilty. Attorneys Fined A vigorous verbal tilt between Jack E. Fisher, commonwealth's attorney, and Samuel Crossland, defense counsel, resulted in a "mime of ten dollars being ordered against each of them by Judge Joe L. Price. False charges have been preferred against the Lincoln school district, the defense maintained, and developed when Alston, formerly an instructor at the West Kentucky Industrial College accepted the office of principal of the Lincoln High School, which he has held since March 10th, after he was named to succeed F. Harrison Hough, removed by the school board, with a witness stand that he was called into a conversation with D. H.

It said that he received the note, and that he did not comply with the demand, but wrote a letter to the girl's school board of the church in Rowlandtown, with indications that he might inquire into the alleged activities of a rival faction. Helen Ketchem, a witness for the defense, testified that she had seen Witte Beaty during the week of April to the court on account of her illness of D. H. Anderson. Other witnesses said that they had seen her going toward the school building after school hours. The whole case was adjudged a frame-un.

PROBE Methodists Employ Amplifiers To Enable Delegates To Hear ZIONISTS PLAN TO ELECT FIVE BISHOPS White Physicians in North Carolina Hospital Took Money From Colored Veterans JOHNSON MAKES PROBE Secretary Finds Only Few Signed Petitions to Have Race Vets Moved New York, May 8.—Abuses at the U. S. Veterans' Hospital in Asheville, N. C., are reported to Gen. Frank T. Hines, Director of the Veterans' Bureau in a letter sent by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. In the N. A. A. C. P. letter it is charged 1. That Ku Klux agitation at the Asheville Hospital and threats to colored patients had cultivated in the public press, the transfer of 29 colored patients to Tuskegee, because the 29 were "a message by crowding in the corridors." That one of the doctors at the Asheville Hospital, who are named in the complaint, segregated 26 colored patients and overcrowded them in one ward. 3. That this same white doctor attitude displayed an "indulible attitude toward colored patients but let it be known that he intended to get rid of all of them. 4. That according to affidavits signed by the white doctor forced colored patients to pay him for regular government work, that he accepted loans from his colored patients and threatened them when they spoke to others. The information and affiliity forwarded to Washington are the result of a personal investigation by Johnson N. A. A, C. P. Secretary. Only 20 Signed Speaking of the petition asking the removal of the colored patients the N. A. A. C. P. Letter says: that of the more than 1,000 white patients, only 200 of that number could be induced to sign the petition, which shows that eighty per cent of the patients are in a situation such as to warrant the removal of the colored patients. We are informed that the colored patients are fine young men. The sentiment of the petition for their removal to the hospital at Tuskegee is stirred up by the Ku Klux Klan. Justification for this belief is given in the fact that a commission a Ku Klux Klan threat sent to all of the colored patients." Paid Doctor $788 The white doctor against whom the charges are made is held to be closely connected with this trouble. This doctor is alleged to have made one patient, Cleveland Drew, one dollar worth of insurance while which is against government regulations. It is further charged that this white doctor received from another patient, Will Johnson, $300 on June 22, 1923, $550 the following day, and $133.00 on September 1, when the man being one-half the man's back pay. Later, Mr. Johnson loured the doctor $25, of which only $15 has been repaid. Despite the white doctor's promise to have Mr. Johnson rated as permanently and totally disabled on which he was discharged from the hospital on March 5th. The above mentioned sums were paid the white doctor. Mr. Johnson swears because he demanded them to put through Mr. Johnson's compensation claim. Since leaving the hospital, Mr. Johnson once said that the doctor has met him a number of times and threatened him in order to stop his telling of the payments. Charged for Blanks A third patient, Dillard Middlebanks, swears that the doctor charged him for signing sick blanks so that he could collect his insurance. The Association concludes its report to Director Hines, with a request for "prompt, vigorous and unyielding action" against the Klar agitation at the Asheville hospital, where he was hospitalized from further extortion and injustice. The discharge of the white doctor, if the charges against him are sustained, is demanded.

Hibernate delegates are to be elected twelve district delegates, and seven delegates at large. The black and tan element of the Party argues that a colored man should be elected one of the big seven, which is to strut up Eucild avenue in June, at the big New York-Wow of the Republican Party. Threats are being made by leaders of the colored group, which go on to serve notice on the grand old party that "in the event that the Colored brother is left out there is sure to be a bolt." The wise voters argue that a colored delegates-ball was sent on another the late D. L. Dickson. Leaders of the colored faction are quoting colonel Woodcock's speech at Annapolis a few days ago in which the colonel said the "colonel was not being a party, because he was not being giving a square deal." The Colonel as spokesman for the Republicans of Maryland said that "he believed in a square "that a colored delegate at large sent by the grand old party would certainly predicate his assertion by action." If rumors are true, and the colored Republicans seem to mean what they say, there is going to be a fight among the officers of the race, when the state convention is called to order.

COOLIDGE GRIP EMBARRASSED FIFTY COLLEGE WOMEN Washington (From the Afro-American Bureau)—President Coolidge embarrassed a group of women from the National Association of College Women in session here recently when he shook hands with them. Led by President Lucy Slowe, dean of women at Howard University, the fifty delegates from all parts of the country were received at the White House along with several other delegations who went in. Exercise to shake hands with several hundred persons each day. Imagine their surprise when women from the National Association made them a little speech in which he greeted them cordially, but shook hands with each of the fifty as she passed out. When the President had grasped her hand in line, consternation reigned, as the rest of the delegation tugged frantically at their long sleeved gloves to get them unfurched and off before their turn. before them and behind them. The women, however, had learned through the press and other sources, that the President had discontinued his custom of shaking hands, as it was a too strenuous Mr. Coolidge said.

"I'm glad to see you," SOUTH RESENTS RACE WOMAN ON THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE Raleigh, N. C., May 4.—Altho fourteenth of the Republican party in Georgia is colored, the white South is rolled over the maming of Mrs. Mamie Williams by Henry Lincoln Johnson as associate in the Republican National Committee. News and Observed last week: Georgia is not a State where it is possible that the white women who affiliate with the Republican party can be very happy, for while the white Republicans of that State seem to have become accustomed to having as National committee-man a Negro man, heyre Lincoln Johnson, as he is known even before the days when "Link and Lilny" became famous as political Siamese twins at the time when Frank Lilny was being boosted by "Link" for United States Attorney of the Eastern North Carolina District, the women white Republicans of Georgia can hardly have the with equal opportunity a Negro woman as an "associate" member of the Republican National Committee. Geor But all the same a Negro woman is on the job as "Associate" to "Link" in running Republican politics in Georgia. As part of the price of winning Georgia's delegates for Coolidge, the Republican Federal machine has had to accept both a Negro and a non-Negro committeewoman from the State—the very outcome that the white women of the Republican organization have feared and sought to avert. Now that the Coolidge managers have a Negro "Associate" committeewoman they are confronted with the problem of what to do with her. Mrs. James of Savannah, the only Negress in the women's auxiliary of the Republican National Committee. She is a political asset to President Coolidge. Georgia Committee-Woman Evicted By Sheriff Savannah, Ga., May 8, —Mrs. Mamie Williams, race Republican National Committeewoman from Georgia, was evicted from the registration office in the Court Hous last week, where she was advising women of the race how to register in Georgia, but a serious social liability to the women of the Republican organization. Like the Republican men, these Republican women have been willing enough to garner the votes of the Negroes, but have been reluctant to accept them as equals, in the management of the party and particularly in the social activities that have gone with the political work of a campaign. This new colored Republican committeewoman is half of a dilemma, so to say. If she had not been selected, a white woman would have been appointed, provided she had been willing to accept the place as the choice of the National Committeeman, Henry Lincoln Johnson, also a Negro. To this Republican white woman of Georgia would consent, but having refused to work in the Republican white women of Georgia—and other states—will be compelled to play with a colored women. The Republican white women of Georgia, while escaping what they regarded as the odium of taking office from the hands of a Negro man have now to choose the alternative of taking orders from a Negro woman. The Negro woman, a pretty kettle of fish to set out for a pretty basket of white women? But that is the dish the white Republicans of Georgia have permitted to be set before the white Republican women. --- Call VErnon 6017 WASHINGTON, D. C. HONORS MEMORY OF MRS. BOND Atty. Roy S.

Handy's Gouge. In a recital we were told that W. C. Handy, the originator of the "blues" that in the last few years have become so much the vogue in popular music, had contemplated some new arrangements of minor strums, these his latest in children, "Kings." "A copy of the "Chicago Gouge" has been forwarded the office, with an explanatory letter. It is an artistic rendition of the melodic form, spiritual with jazzy rhythms and syncopation, with rhythm that is the evolution of the African "Tangana," called by the Spaniards, "Habauero" and by the Spanish American, "Tango." Mr. Handy places the accent of the second section in what measures appropriating the idea from the pat, common to the South Carolinians. When, as the article states, are race girls from every section of the South introduced to Broadway on the stage and as record artists, one of whom is capturing the second section, what was once despised music; we can but fervidly hope that the success of the "Gouge" may equal that of the "blues."

One of his numbers, "At the Ball," leaped into fame as the greatest one-step at that time written. If inflation is the greatest form of flattery, then every white burlesque show and musical comedy trouping at that time, paid homage to the gift author, for the number and the identical staging suited to every hand. We are incapable of expressing, in language worthy the man, just how much he loved the teacher Mr. Hill. We shall say that there was no more kindly, helpful, soul created than he. He would that he be today with his vision and helpfulness. The widow is a Baltimorean, and Lovejoy will also be a member of the cast of the revival, so we trust that Baltimore will take this opportunity to do homage to the memory of THE NOBLEST ROMAN OF THEM ALL.

"ROOSEVELT" UNDER THE HAMMER The Roosevelt Theatre on West Biddle street, will go under the hammer at a public sale on next Thursday. The sale is given as the reason for selling. Formerly a fire-house, and recently a lodge building, and a meeting place for a branch of the "Holy Rollers," also a one-time dance-hall, the office has undergone many changes. Mr. Friedlander, the proprietor, inaugurated a policy of screening the better pictures, and for a time the office was a place where wanted to witness the best in photo-dramas, recently, however there has been a falling off in attendance, due possibly to the hokie amusement public returning to the sensationable shows showing vaudeville. He declares he paid $60,000 for the place and has lost $40,000 in operating it. A pool-room occupies the second floor of the building at present, and it has been pointed out that the lower floor that now houses the theatre would make a most excellent bowling alley.

C. Mr. Edward Christopher Williams, head of the department of Romance Languages, and a son-in-law of the distinguished novelist, Charles W. Chestnut, is the author. Briefly the drama is centered around the intense political rivalries of the Salviati and Medici families for the control of the government of Florence, Italy. The play will be under the direction of Prof. Montgomery Gregory, assisted by M. F. Peters. The University orchestra, under the direction of Dorsey T. Rhodes, will play. Allen A. Burgess is concert master. The costumes were designed in the workshop under the direction of Alma Thomas, the scenic and lighting effects are also the work of these student craftsmen. The proceeds will be devoted to a fund for building a little theatre on the University campus. This group of players also look forward to the establishment of a National Negro Theatre. T. O. Spaulding as Lorenzo De Medic, Giovanni Salviani, will be portrayed by Merwyn Coy, are among those having the leads. KILLER AND CROOK CAUGHT BY MOVIE A killer at large in a great moving picture studio furnishes the first big thrill in the gripping camera-drama, "Lights Out," coming to the Dunbar Theatre on Saturday, May 17th. Sweet papa! What an upheaval of laughs. What a cascade of thrills. What an avalanche of surprises—all told in adroit fashion on the screen by one of the best casts of the year. As fast as the express train that plunges through its plot—as fascinating as the field of green and gold that sweep by—as fun provoking as a cage of monkeys. It begins with a smash and ends with the greatest punch ever plunged upon the screen. The picture-time of your life awaits you. On Wednesday, May 14, "The Matman," has been booked for this house. STAR A screaming comedy sketch and jazz harmonies by a band are the ingredients mixed by Bonnie Fisher and his helpers, and served in post the right proportions to the customers this week. To state that they liked it is not enough, better say that the comedibles of Fisher brought the laughs so continuously that they seemed blended into one whole with no stops. The band carried by this show is not one of the shrieking, grooming, thumping ear spliters, but plays with temperately blended harmony. The other "work sister" organizations of this kind are simply out of the money by comparison. We do not consign that we are giving comedians any "purr" as our kinglish cousins term exaggerated praise) by saying that there is a zip and sparkle to their work that puts them very much on the amusement man. This is saying a moutiful when we consider the aimless rambles of so many of their contemporaries working this time.

And it was not without its reward, for in the terrific climax when Toinette is about to give herself up to the police, Inspector La Roche informs her that he knows no "Humming Bird," but has come with the pardon of France for Teiinette and the French cross of war, awarded one of the Wolves, who Miss Elsie Bird sang three numbers, receiving generous hands for her reward.

War—The Apache dens of Paris become the hiding places of slackers. Patriotism rises in the heart of Toinette, better known as the "Humming Bird." She shames the gang of thieves, calling themselves the Wolves, of which she is the head, into the defense of Paris. In boy's clothing she herself tries to go to the front, but is turned back—that's the spirit that saved France for the French—the boy shall not pass" spirit won the war. And it was not without its reward, for in the terrific climax when Toinette is about to give herself up to the police, Inspector Lao informs her that he knows no "Humming Bird," but has come with the pardon of France for Toinette and the French cross of war, awarded one of the Wolves, who can find no use for it out "there." It's a gripping and altogether unusual ending—unusual in that it is entirely unexpected. REGENT Before an audience that occupied every available chair, the Allen and Stokes Company delivered the entertainment here on Monday evening. In justice to shows working this house, an allowance must be made for the length of the heavy picture productions that they are obliged to follow, it is almost humanly impossible for an audience to focus its attention on the performance after having been obliged to sit through the display of 8 to 12 reels. This fact may have been responsible for the absence of the element of dash, or in modern day parlance, "pep" so necessary to entertainment perfection, the lack of this essential reflected itself in the customers, the latter failing to display anything approaching the faintest enthusiasm. The stagings, costumings and mechanical appointments have evidently been chosen by one who knew what they were about, the talk and dances are as clean as new mown hay. Arthur Allen and Harry Brook as representatives of that army of bar tenders who don't wear white coats, and ply their trade in the darker places, drew laughs with clever dialogue.

Wells and Wells, with their acrobatic silent turn, and Arthur Allen, coxing minors from a fiddle, were easily the pick of the field. Bertha La Joy and Raymond Jefferson also merit commendation for their share of the work. With the elimination of draggy moments, the injection of a bit of punch, and the speeding up of the business about the apple, this company is easily among the top-notchers of "tabs." LINCOLN The Goodloe and Daniels Company were closed after the Monday afternoon show, and the Bird and Ewing Company engaged to finish the week. With a much smaller company than appeared at the Regent last week, the latter show seemed to please the small number of patrons attending. Bird, as usual, goes after the laugh-getting, and has a capable foil in Billy Ewing, the straight. Miss Elsie Bird sang three numbers, receiving generous hands for her reward. While not so pretentious as last week's programme, the personnel having been reduced to fit the smaller house, those attentive seemed to be pleased and expressed their approval in appause which though not vociferous was satisfying. NATIONAL Policy of straight pictures and vaudeville now being followed. Considering stiff opposition of two adjacent houses, this house seems to be drawing well; especially since colored vaudeville has been substituted for the white acts employed opening week and last week. Bass Doe Lege and his "Bandana Girls" company are furnishing the entertainment and gala over very well. Understand that the former percentage basis is being still maintained. With sufficient publicity and carefully selected colored vaudeville this house should weather the summer depression, and get its share of the East Baltimore business in the fall. POSTPONED HOW LONG SHOULD GIRL AWAIT MAN? "Trifling With Honor," at Carey Next Week Answers This Question Coming to the Carey Theatre on Tuesday, May 13th, is "Trifling With Honor," in which the above question is answered. He had drifted to the depths; he had become a derelict, far from any home port, cherishing still the memory of a beautiful, trusting girl. A girl who had waited-waited through weary months for that spark of manhood within him to flame into RESPECT and HONOR. Then she saw him again and she loved him more than ever, so he, the idol of millions, spanned his way back to her, and she found in the noose sense dramas ever transferred to the screen, Rockliffe Follows, Fritzi Ridgway, Buddy Messinger, and Hayden Stevenson are the stars. On Monday, May, 12th, Betty Compson comes to this house in the "Bonded Woman," a story of the South Seas. ARGONNE Following the unusually interesting picture program shown at this house last week, the management has succeeded in obtaining features that are equally attractive for the six days beginning next Monday, "Smilin' Thru," "Bell Boy 13," and "Kindred of Dust," are the three high lights of the bill offered. Wednesday, William Duncan and Edith Johnson appear in Episode No. 7, of the "Post Express," Saturday, Allene Ray and Marcel Miller in the great Indian Chapter drama, "The Way of a Man," Episode No. 5. The re-opening of this house has filled a large gap in the amusement possibilities for those folk who prefer to see pictures in their own neighborhood instead of coming up-town. ants of the Track Meet Saturday, RE will be postponed until Mon 1.50; Orchestra, $1.00; Balcony, 7 Theatre, 1:30 P.

SCHOOL 104 Carey and School Streets. Mr. D. C. Creditt, Principal. This week has been parents' week at Robert Brown Elliott School. Notice were sent through the pupils to parents and guardians, urging them to be present at a Parent-Principal Teacher Round Table Conference. The meetings were divided into groups. On Monday night, parents or guardians of 7th and 8th grade pupils were invited; on Tuesday, those of the 5th and 6th. On later nights of the week the parents of the lower grades have been requested to company their children with the school, and table conference affords excellent opportunity for heart-to-heart talks between teachers and the patrons of the school. The meetings, so far have been well attended, and a better mutual understanding has been effected between the two people in whose charge is the greater part of the child's development.

With Marylander As Secretary JERNAGIN RE-ELECTED Washington Pastor Again to Head Congress For The Next Year Washington, D. C., May 7. More than a thousand members were raised by the National Race Congress, which met here last week, to establish a General Headquarters. Melvin J. Chisum is the newly elected Executive Secretary. Delegates were present from twenty-nine States representing a membership of upward a hundred thousand, and the of next meeting was fixed. This was the ninth annual gathering. Among the resolutions adopted was one to PROMOTE BETTER INTER-RACIAL RELATIONS, and another to strive for a complete enforcement of the Constitution to the end that colored people in the United States should take their right of franchise. And perhaps the most significant resolution to systematically make a fight here in Washington before the Congress for a reduction of Southern representation in the National Congress of Southern States where the black people are disfranchised. The president, Dr. Wun H. Jermagin; vicepresident, Dr. J. H. King; recording secretary, Rev. C. C. Somerville; assistant secretary, Miss D. E. Harris; treasurer, C. H. Wether; national lecturer, S.

Chisum; president Women's Auxiliary, Mine. Gabrielle Pelham. A. M. E. WOULD RETIRE THREE BISHOPS (Continued From Puge One) cash balance of seventy thousand dollars. Five bishops will be elected, Bishop B. F. Lee having requested retirement. As it looks at this hour the M. Gaines, J. W. Grege, R. C. Ranson, with two others to be chosen from about fifty candidates. Dr. W. H. H. Butler will make a splendid run for Historian. Constructive legislation will require through the bishops a strict requirement that bishops shall rotate in districts and give closer supervision of the churches and schools of their districts, R. S. Jenkins, of Texas, was elected general conference secretary. The work in Africa and South America amounted to strongly prepaRED tonight by Bishops Brooks, Vernon and Fountain. Exhibits of native products served to enforce the appeals. The APRO-AMERICAN is the only newspaper, other than church organs, with an official headquarterers in the A. M. E. Conference Armory. The staff of reporters are on duty at all hours where there are papers made and bibbed in the APRO-AMERICAN marsh in an car and pencil near. Parade Monday The morning session began with a parade of general officers and delegates, which led through Louisville's business center to the Army. The large audience appurposed up to Saturday night, so that it was necessary for a small army of carpenters and laborers to work all day Sunday 'till midnight in order to get things ready. But things were ready and in good shape on the morning of Saturday, it was no time for any decorations. The Baltimore and Virginia Conferences are represented by full delegations. Callers at AFRO-AMERICAN booth have included Bishop and Mrs. Hurst, Dr. and Mrs. E. H. Stephan, Dr. and Rev. C. H. Stephan, Rev J. W. Norris, all of Baltimore. KILKEN PLAYED Bishop John Hurst in his opening sermon before 5,000 persons. "The Negro," he said, "has fallen down in government. We have not a single race minister in Congress. This Bishop must not be in the church which we must not allow to be torn down. Paralize the hand that would smite her; paralyze the hand that would defame her. EPISCOPAL EDDRESS Bishop Flipper read the Episcopal address, which urged the election of two bishops; that women be eligible to seats in the general conference as delegates. The address fayed mob violence. Kofi Anan and divorce. It urged that ministers with two living wives be barred from pubs. Who are going to be elected bishops? Well, the knowing ones say Gaines, Ransome and Gregg are good tips. Certainly, they are good at responsibility, from the standards of education proven worth, culture and executive ability. But there are lots of "dark horses." Some of them are not waiting to be set up. They have set up a campaign in real earnest. A big effort is going to be made to retire Bishops Lee, Heard and Coppin. Physically they are not equal to the episcopal duties. But none of them are willing to be retired, and they will fight for continuance on active duty. Baxter, Morris, all general officers, will be re-elected with little or no opposition. The real fire works seem to be on program when Ira T. Bryant is reached for re-election as secretary of Sunday-School Department. Up to Sunday night nobody had seen him. All others had seen him. Older men had several days, but fighting Ira had conserved his ammunition and strategy and nobody could learn his strength. Those in the know say that this Napoleon will have no Waterloo in May, 1824. W. H. C. Brown, banker, of Newport News, Va., and Mrs. Brown, Brown, B. B. Bisonon, of Denver, Colorado, are among the prominent lay delegates. Call VErnen 6016 CITY IS NEARLY PASTORLESS CITY IS NEARLY PASTORLESS Except for pastors in the Baptist, Catholic, Episcopal, Presbyterian and Christian Churches, Baltimore is pastorless this week. Half of the city ministers are attending one or the other branches of the three Methodist General Conferences now in session, in Springfield, Mass., Indianapolis and Louisville, Ky. There were only twelve present at the A. M. E. Preachers' Meeting at Bethel Church on Monday morning. Of these Rev. J. B. Lee and Rev. E. M. Thomas left later for Louisville. Rev. J. W. McCoy also left early this week for Zion Conference. Rev. W. H. Dean is the host of the M. E. ministers in the city. He was detained by his spring rally, but will leave for conference Monday to remain two weeks. He has $6,000 pledged toward his $7,000 drive for Sharp Street Church, which closes June 15th. RACE COMMISSION BILL URGED Rev. Edward Sparks, representing the Baptist Ministers' Conference accompanied by Rev. W. J. Winston, appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee in Washington, Wednesday and urged favorable consideration of bill authorizer an appropriation of $50,000 and an appointment by the President of a commission of nine persons to study the race question in the United States. The measure is fathered by Seldon P. Spencer Republican from Missouri will introduce in conditions surrounding the colored people, ascertain cause of unrest racial friction and suggest remedies to bring about harmonious racial relations. It will have the power to summon persons, administer oaths, employ experts and travel from place to place. The commission will address matters at the beginning of each session. Nine members would constitute the Commission, three of whom would be white from the North to serve for one year, two from the South, white, to serve two years, and three colored to serve three years. The $15 for expenses will be allowed each Commissioner per day for actual work and seven dollars compensation. A salary of $1,500 would be authorized for an executive secretary. The Commission would function under the Department of the Interior. The measure is being opposed by Rev. W. H. Jernagin and the National Race Commission on the ground that the annual appropriation of $50,000 is not sufficient. ZIONISTS PLAN TO ELECT 5 BISHOPS (Continued, From Page One) The present senior bishop of the Church is Bishop J. S. Caldwell, of Philadelphia, who presided the first day of the session. There are several bishops, both well preside in order. Among them are Bishop J. W. Woods, of Philadelphia, and Bishop Clements, of Louisville. Unification Up To unify the A. M. E. Z. Church, the A.

Washington, D. C., May 8—Assurance of the success of the campaign being waged among the colored people of the District of Columbia for a total of $50,000 towards the $500,000 Endowment and Building Fund of the School of Religion of Howard University was given this week when various captains and team workers reported at a dinner held in the University During Hall that to date a total of $29,100 had already been secured. From the report of the Special Gifts Committee composed of Attorney Thomas Walker, chairman: Dr. Sterling N. Brown, Chaplain O. J. W. Scott, and Dr. James L. Pinn, it was learned that there are now six one thousand dollar pledges, the persons making such a pledge being Atty. Thomas Atty. Zeff P. Moore, George W. Grice, Dr. James L. Pinn, Dr. Sterling N. Brown, and George W. Robinson. The Special Gifts Committee also reported that the colored undertakers of the District of Columbia have pledged $500 each towards the fund, among those pledging being Messrs. Thomas Frazier, Wm. A. Jones, J. T. Rhines, P. A. Lomax, Moon and Allen, Joseph L. Bailey, Edward W. Bundy, John T. Stewart, and Grayson McFetrick. Others making substantial pledges are: D. Buxton, William C. Dillis, D. J. Dillis, Aquila Sayles, W. B. Carrol, Allen F. Jackson, Walter A. Gray, Samuel M. Dudley, Third Baptist Church, through Rev. Cushingberry. Team Captains Enthusiastic Quite a bit of friendly rivalry has been exhibited by the various captains and team workers in connection with the securing of the prize in the District of Columbia. The team of which Mrs. Sadie Gaskins is captain reported the highest amount secured during the past week, the amount being $1,325. The total amount reported from all of the teams was $7,548, which brought the total secured to date from colored people in the District to $29,100, bearing $20,000 between them and the goal of $50,000. Especially interesting and encouraging information was given by President Durkeen when he announced that John A. Cole, of Chicago, ILL, who previously made a donation of $20,000 to this cause, has now advised that he will give the prize to the team provided $60,000 is raised before the end of the year. The total raised so far is $55,100. Mr. Napoleon B. Carrington, a clergyman residing in Baltimore, Md., in his letter stated: "I am sending a subscription for $100.00 to the University because I believe in Howard University and I love the School of Religion. I was sent by the Washington Annual Conference to my first church at Gettysburg, Pa. The Bishop sent to build up the church and provide per year, but since March 31st I have only received $21. There are about twelve active members of the church, so you can readily see that I am making my pledge on faith. I will pay every cent and should have more money I shall hope to increase my subscription to at least $500." Campaign to be Staged in Other Cities Plans are being made for the conduct of the city campaign in the interest of the Endowment and Building Fund of the School of Religion in the various cities thruout the country.

The pastor is now Baptist Church and his congregation. REV. E. M. PERCETTI, Pastor. The month of May is a most fitting one in which to set aside a day devoted to mothers the world over. May is the month of flowers and hope, and it seems this is analogous to the never failing faith, love and hope of all mothers. More words are too feeble to adequately express the depths of the all-encompassing love of a mother. A man may break every law of man and God, he may become as a parish priest, he may follow it, but he has a mother; he has one refuge to which he can always go, sure of a loving welcome. It may be that, through years of disappointment, his conduct has graven lines of sorrow on that beloved face, lacerated a thousand times that trusting, hopeful heart, but unworthy as he may have come, even such a man this can return to the mother with the certainty that she will have for him some tender solicitation and love that marked her care in his infancy. have a mother's refuge to go, sure of it. It may be that it has no dispatches that belong to him. But he may have been as much with the will have for solicitation and her care Why is Jesus called the burden bearer?—Matt. 11:28-30. Upon whom should we cast our burden?—Psalm 55.22. To whom should you commit your way?—Plasm. 37.5. Is there day of reckoning coming?—Matt. 9:27. What does a patient trust and deign in God bring?—Psalm 37:3.5. What did Jesus say about little children?—Matt. 19:1-15. Why is a little man a righteous man but lower than the riches of many wicked?—Psalm 37:32-37. Which is the Fifth Commandment?—Exodus 20:12. What testimony did John the Baptist give concerning Jesus?—Matt. 3:14. In the following lines Kiplings has penned a tribute to mothers which aptly expressed the boundlessness of mother love: Possibly it is one of the tragedies of the world that the praises of mother are too often unhankered and unsung. The outstanding qualities of motherhood are self-denial and self-efacement. You will not find the great mothers of the world among the harried women who disgrace womanhood and do not bury their children for demands of their rights. You will not find them among the garrulous class of women who harangue for birth control, and, childless themselves, elect to dictate to more fortunate women the proper way to rear children. The great mothers of the world, thank God, are the mothers that we all remember, gentle, and loving and kind. The mothers who kissed our childish hirsut, who smoothed out our scars, fainted to the aid of impatient to whom us sent out into the world equipped to succeed, if we would only apply the patient and loving training that had been ours every step of the way. The thought of mother can not long leave any man or woman, and no particular Mother's day is necessary to keep green in our memories all that Mother has meant to us. I trust the thought of a peaceful tribute, to this one certain day in May the whole country in unison should pay particular homage to Mother. It's mighty fine on this day to wear a red flower expressive of the warm love of living mother and the memory of the purity and goodness of the mothers who have passed on; but it seems to me that the real tribute should go further than this, and that the greatest possible tribute anyone can pay to Mother is to try each day with in this life the kind of man or woman Mother hoped and prayed and labored so hard for us to become.

AVENUE 2nd Floor (Junt above North Avenue) PEACO—To the memory of our dear mother, Sarah Lea Peaco, who died four years ago in the fire of 1936. She met James Peaco, who died six months ago, November 19, 1523. Why should we sorrow for the dead? Our life on earth is but a span; They tread the path that all must pass. They died the common death of man. The soul, the eternal soul, must reign. In worlds of pain and sorris. Then why should mortal man complain? Of death which leads to a haplier life. BY THEIR DEVOTED DAUGHTERS AND GRAND-CHILDREN. SMITH—In loving remembrance of our dear mother, Laura E. Smith, who departed this life five years ago, May 4, 1919. Alone our mother traveled. Far through death and sickness To the star that shines upon the golfer, where ever-lasting life is there; To meet her Saviour on the strand, where angels took her by the hand, Alone, oh no, she's not alone; For Jesus claims her as own. BY THEIR CHILDREN, EDWARD C. HOWARD E. AND NETTIE A. SMITH. WILSON—In sad but loving remembrance of my dear husband and father, Samuel who died May 3, 1925. Sooner than think I have forgotten you, for on earth you are no more; But in memory you are with me, As you always were before. When we gather in the home. And love ones there we greet; Our hearts are heavy and bowed For the circle is incomplete. BY HIS LOVING WIFE AND CHILDREN. In sad and loving remembrance of our dear brother, Samuel Wilson, who departed this life one year ago, May 3, 1922. top him Jesus in Thy keeping. Till we reach that heavenly shore, Then, oh, Master, let us have him, Love him as we did before.

A 1923 MEDALLIST WANTS TO REPEAT Katherine Koger, Who Won a Douglass Medal Last Year, Wants a Dunbar Medal Too FIVE WEEKS REMAIN All Dunbar Essays Must Be In Afro-American Office Not Later than June 17 Little Katie, her real name is Katherine, of Govans, Md., won a Douglass medal in the AFRO'S story contest last year, and she wants a Dunbar medal this year to go along with it. In her letter enclosed with her Dunbar story, received this week, she says: "I am very much inter- ested in the medals, for I won one of the Frederick Douglass medals last year, and I wear it very often, because I'm proud of it. I hope my essay will be all right." Last year the AFKO gave away 300 bronze Frederick Douglass medals. From the way the essays are coming in to the office already, the Dunbar editor is going to have a hard time picking out the 500 best essays. To date most of the stories have been sent in from school children and their parents in town. Out of town AFKO readers are eligible too, and the editor would like to send them some of the handsome bronze medals on Dunbar's birthday. Don't be backward, out-of-towners, send your essays right along in. Remember two things. 1. Do not make your stories over 250 words. 2. Write early on one side of the paper only. That is all then just mail your stories to the AFKO Dunbar Editor, 628 N, Eutau street, Edinburgh, Md. Maybe Mother's day this Sunday has something to do with it, but all of the essays received this week call attention to the fact that Dunbar deeply loved his mother. Jonathan Smith, Philadelphia, tells how Dunbar used to make rhymes and carry them to his mother and read them to her. She offered suggestions, and he then corrected them, giving them to her to keep against the time when he should have enough to make a book. Casely B. Townes, Atlantic City, recalls that Dunbar was a poor youth, whose parents were hard working. He tells Dunbar edited his school paper in the Steel High School, of Dayton, Ohio, and at graduation composed and read the class song. When he left school he searched almost in vain for a job, and finally got a place as elevator boy at $4 a week. This is the great poet, who afterwards wrote a hundred poems that are as much a part of our lives as the Bible or the Constitution, and quoted as frequently. For the poet's birthday, some of the young stories will be printed. Ever CARLTO 420 W.

URBAN LEAGUE IS PLANNED HERE en To Estab Of Agency Fourth District In City Primary Elects Six Delegates Initial Steps Taken To Establish Branch Of Agency In The City Definite steps to organize a branch of the National Urban League in Baltimore were taken Wednesday night by a group of white and colored men and women who met at Emanuel Church Parish House. The meeting which was called by Mr. John R. Carey, and consisted of a group of white and colored men and women interested in local welfare work, empowered a committee to formulate a tentative program and budget for the initiation of the work here. Mr. Eugene Kinckle Jones, executive of the National organization, was present to outline the work of the League and following his address the body voted unanimously to start the movement here. Mr. Carey will announce the organization committee during the next few days, and it is planned to take immediate steps to properly finance and head this movement. The National Urban League is the outstanding organization in this country dealing with local industrial and welfare problems. It has agencies in more than 40 cities and is recognized as one of the most efficiently managed agencies in the country. Dr. Hugh Birkhead made the motion to establish the branch here. GIRL SHOOTS MAN WHO WRONGED HER Enraged when she met Walter "Tilman," 2443 McCulloch street, Wednesday night, against whom she had just preferred a charge of bostardy. Miss Martha Curtis drew a revolver and shot him in the back. While Tilman was being taken to the St. Joseph's Hospital, Miss Curtis made her escape and had not been apprehended early Thursday morning. His condition, however, is reported not serious. Miss Curtis, who lives at 2008 Keyser street, had sworn out a warrant for the arrest of Tilman, charging that he was the father of her unborn child. "He pinned my life and deserted me," she told officers at the Northeastern Police Station. Held On Serious Charge James Mason, 52, 528 N. Pine street, charged by 10 year old Carrie Freeman with a statutory ooefence, was held without bail for the action of the Grand Jury. The Freeman child lives at 709 Bradley street.

Tait, chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, all is in readiness for the State convention to be held at the Lyceum, Charles street near Preston, Wednesday, May 14, at 10am. Delegates elected to the convention in the primaries last Tuesday will attend to select the delegates to the National Republican Convention at Cleveland, and to work out a platform. PRIMARIES SHOW The city primaries held Tuesday brought out only a few voters. Those who did go out to the polls voted 4,213 to 530 to instruct the State's delegates in the National Convention for Calvin Coolidge for president. CIVIL WAR DEVELOPUS Altho the Fourth District elected six of its seven colored delegates, civil war broke out between the 14th and 17th wards, which added interest to the day's voting. It all happened because Marse Callaway, Levin leader in the district, put out cards containing only the four names of himself, Cale, Levin, and Williams for delegates. Voters were urged to vote only for these four. This meant that Mrs. Anna Mechen and John Matthews, 14th Ward regulars, were to be out. As soon as the cards got abroad in the 14th Ward, workers there became heated up because the cards put out by then contained seven names including J. K. Cole and Alexander Williams, the two delegates approved by the 17th Ward executive. MRS. McMECHEN ELECTED Despite the fracas, Mrs. McMechen led the 14th Ward and got enough votes elsewhere to be elected. She is the first woman delegate. Matthews lacked some 50 votes of getting over. The entire Calloway state was elected, and politicians see in this an effort to put up John Goldsborough instead of Lawson Duffin for delegate to the National Convention. Goldsborough is pointed out as the only district committeeman in the city who has thus far failed to select a vice committeewoman to work with him. Delegates elected in the primaries were, Mrs. McMechen, 553; Chas. B. Bishop, 593; John R. Cole, 642. Alexander Williams, 476; Harry O. Levin (white) 754; M. Anderson, 512; Marse S. Calloway, 496. James T. McGriffin polled 460 votes, Bob Young, 559.

According to the management, "Duck" was one of the fairest "umps" they ever had, but missed several strikes on both teams during his service there. Plans were made tentatively to put Bill Byers, last year's umpire, behind the bat. Protest of some of the fans against a white umpire were laid by Manager Pete Hill before the Sox management Wednesday and it is expected that some way may be found to shift Cromwell and Gibson, or employ some other race umpire.

MAY 9 IF AL SMITH IS NOMINATED With Coolidge already in possession of exile to the National Republican Convention, nomination, interest has turned to who shall ratify standard bearer. I present the straws seem to be blowing in the direction of Governor Al Smith of New York, the point of popular acclaim, lack of serious and general acceptability, Mr. Smith no longer hope of the party. As a probable consideration of many, Governor Al Smith, is receiving some consideration. Be battle front of the party's struggle front and Middle West, Al Smith is the logical considerable interest centers in the N. The growing defection from Republican state of the dominant opposition party is interest to colored voters. If colored lives hand-picked the candidate, they get none more pleasing to them than Smith into the White House the same spirit of practical consideration for the interests of the party as he has manifested in and bring a new national era for colored. THE METHODISTS AND AMUSEMENT One of the most important issues likely to be the Methodist Episcopal General Conference this week is the attitude of the church members. According to the law of the M. E. Church, can kind, dancing of any kind, theatres of any circuses, are strictly taboo. It is plain that were this law enforced strictly to enough members in the average church the collection plates and administer them. Notwithstanding the fact that most will preach against these forms of amusement, take their sermons seriously. The seriest is that this attitude breeds disrespect, discipline and men and women come to the city of church affiliation. The Christian church should always be the main progress. It should be consistent, well-filed. It should stand always as a beacon. But when it holds its own tenure, winks at any form of disobedience, how can it have and hold the respect men and women. With Coolidge already in possession of enough delegates to the National Republican Convention to clinch the nomination. interest has turned to who shall be the Democratic standard bearer. At present the straws seem to be blowing mightily in the direction of Governor Al Smith of New York. From a standpoint of popular acclaim, lack of serious opposition and general acceptability. Mr. Smith no doubt is the outstanding hope of the party. As a probable runner-up in the consideration of many, Governor Ritchie, of Maryland, is receiving some consideration. But with the main battle front of the party's struggle developing in the East and Middle West, Al Smith is the logical man. Considerable interest centers in the Negro vote. With the growing defection from Republican ranks, the candidate of the dominant opposition party becomes of more interest to colored voters. If colored democrats themselves hand-picked the candidate, they probably could get none more pleasing to them than Smith. If he carried into the White House the same spirit of fair play and practical consideration for the interests of colored members of the party as he has manifested in New York. it would bring a new national era for colored men and women. THE METHODISTS AND AMUSEMENTS One of the most important issues likely to be thrashed out at the Methodist Episcopal General Conference at Springfield this week is the attitude of the church toward amusements. According to the law of the M. E. Church, card playing of any kind, dancing of any kind, theatres of any kind, including circuses, are strictly taboo. It is plainly obvious however, that were this law enforced strictly there would not be enough members in the average church to pass around the collection plates and administer the holy communion. Notwithstanding the fact that most of the ministers still preach against these forms of amusement, none of them take their sermons seriously. The serious side of the matter is that this attitude breeds disrespect for all church discipline and men and women come to disregard the sanctity of church affiliation. The Christian church should always be the bulwark of human progress. It should be consistent, unswerving and undefiled. It should stand always as a beacon to the souls of men. But when it holds its own tenets lightly; when it winks at any form of disobedience of its own members, how can it have and hold the respect of intelligent men and women. SOWING SEEDS OF HATRED In all application of the spirit of jimcrae, the unnecessary perverting of youth, noticed by those in charge of the recent crisis is the most dangerous and far reaching with white youth being drilled in the mind and dishonest discrimination and color nursing a suppressed humiliation, seeds of being sown that sooner or later fires open acts of crime. Not only was the uncalled for jimcrowing of school boys fair play, civic loyalty and interest of fenced against it. Left to themselves with instincts of good will, we do no believe in a thousand would have favored such here. They are more manly than men far than those who teach them fairness. The most unfortunate part of the matter colored boys were COMPELLED to subtraction. Those who witnessed that parade division trailing behind and the lines leading to their humiliation by disbanding march as the colored boys passed by sickening decrease of respect for the manned it. It was not only unnecessary face, but a prostitution of every sacred idol and an affront to the sensibilities of No Of all application of the spirit of jimcrowism and prejudice, the unnecessary perverting of youthful minds as practiced by those in charge of the recent boys' week parade is the most dangerous and far reaching. With white youth being drilled in the methods of unfair and dishonest discrimination and colored boys silently nursing a suppressed humiliation, seeds of hate and despair are being sown that sooner or later find expression in open acts of crime. Not only was there no need for this uncalled for jimcrowing of school boys, but every ideal of fair play, civic loyalty and interest of both races, proclaimed against it. Left to themselves with their natural instincts of good will, we do no tbelieve one white youth in a thousand would have favored such a cowardly procedure. They are more manly than men; they are more fair than those who teach them fairness. The most unfortunate part of the matter was that these colored boys were COMPELLED to submit to this humiliation. Those who witnessed that parade with its jim crow division trailing behind and the lines of spectators adding to their humiliation by disbanding along the line of march as the colored boys passed by must have had a sickening decrease of respect for the committee who planned it. It was not only unnecessary display of prejudice, but a prostitution of every sacred idea of civic justice and an affront to the sensibilities of Negro youth. WINKING AT TRUANCY LAWS In the city of Baltimore there are 26.00 ten years of age who cannot read and do not the Federal Department of Education more than one-half of this number as the percentage of illiteracy among the few it is larger than that of colored people and 12.9 respectively, that of native on one per cent. With a school system intended to give education to all its children, this difference in born white and native born colored being is wrong somewhere. What is it? Under our compulsory education law a school age should be in school. The provision, however, depends upon the officers and the cooperation of print In the city of Baltimore there are 26,000 persons above ten years of age who cannot read and write. According to the Federal Department of Educational Research slightly more than one-half of this number are colored. While the percentage of illiteracy among the foreign born element is larger than that of colored people, being 14 per cent and 12.9 respectively, that of native whites is less than one per cent. With a school system intended to give equal opportunities to all its children, this difference in illiteracy of native born white and native born colored shows that something is wrong somewhere. What is it? Under our compulsory education law all children of legal school age should be in school. The enforcement of this provision, however, depends upon the vigilance of truant officers and the cooperation of principals and teachers in the schools. From our observation the courts uphold the law when offenders are brought before them, but notwithstanding the large number of children out of school constantly, few colored parents are haled into court. It would seem also that the habit of being lenient with parents of children at work and the ease with which permits for colored children can be obtained operates to add to colored illiteracy. It is a serious wrong against a community to neglect the proper observance of its compulsory education laws; but against the child thus wronged IT IS A CRIME.

Parade (Continued from Page 16) Principal McAhee's school 110 was the best uniformed and best drilled group. Spectators all along the line, of business, noted the Jim Crow arrangements and commented openly. Toward the end tired spectators crowded the streets, making it difficult for teachers to keep children in line. Police also allowed traffic to cut off the rear enders frequently. Baptists Take Lead But for the short notice of the Jim Crow arrangements in the parade, it is said there would have been only a corporal's guard to take part. Parents did not get their AFRO until too late in school for them. Several ministers urged parents in a personal canyass to keep children at home; and drastic resolutions condemning the Boys' Week committee were passed by the Baptist Ministers' Meeting. Rev. A. J. Greene told ministers Monday he stood that all of them used their influence to keep the children at home. Stanford for Policewomen (Continued from Page 16) Some important changes, however, have been made in assignments. Mr. Johann replaces Rantz at the Northwestern.

CREDIT PROJECT NO. 10 New Colord Elementary School DEBIT "Jim Crow" Boys' Plank Parade MAYOR JACKSON'S LEDGER Professor Fudge A Fable There was once an old German Professor of music who was called upon to act as judge of a singing contest between two boys. When the first youngster had finished whoooping, the judge was playing the party of the second part, gave the prize to the boy who had not sung. Moral: Nobody could sing worse than the first boy. Had it been possible for the three men representing Lincoln University or the three men representing Howard University to present their combined argument to the ample judges who were to decide the issue would have been justified in awarding the decision to the side not yet heard. Howard-Lincoln Annual Debate Bethel Church was the scene of the annual debate between Howard and Lincoln Universities. The question not debated was, "Resolved. That the United States Should Join the World Court as Stipulated by President Harding." The Judge of the Supreme Court, Chief Judge of the Supreme Bench, of Baltimore; Judge Walter Dawkins and Judge Robert Stanton. As far as I am concerned, I think the two schools made a very poor showing. Four of the speakers could not talk well enough to announce "Dinner is ready in the dining car." A fifth speaker was a soprano and was strong on one note, but the other was Mr. William P. Stevenson, of Lincoln, was the only one who could talk, or for that matter do much thinking. The two teams used up the evening giving out some history of the World Court, about which the intelligent audience was already informed, and saying, "Ladies and Gentlemen and Honorable Judges. One speaker repeated his question to the other, the verge of forgetting what he was about to say, so much so, the audience's heart was in its mouth. I was slightly puzzled when I saw the judges present who were to decide the issue, but after straining through the evening it became evident why the judges were selected to do the honors. The judges were likely selected because of their long experience listening to empty-headed shyster lawyers into the jail house. It was probably because of their ability to pick a good point out here and there from a mass of "no points at all," that they were called upon. Where Is The Old Guard I was particularly surprised to find that Lincoln University of today does not turn out the kind of orators it has long been famed for. It appears they have no one on there now to "carry on" the work in this line. It seems from last have run out of warmer T. McGuinns, Harry Cummings and Rev Creditts. The old fellows who came along in the days when there was a wood stove in the class room and not much to eat in the refectory have it on the boys who have every modern facility. In other words the larger the appropriations for education, the dumber they get. Cole-Talbert in her clothes. At her recital held Wednesday a week ago at Sharp Street Memorial Church she was shown off to a great advantage. The lady performed like a veteran and it goes without saying, the au But on an occasion of this kind when the stage is all set for a big success and when the outlook even to a pessimist appears to be flawless a little thing can happen which will throw the machinery out of gear for a minute. Little things can often show a temper on a big thing and deserve for it. On this particular occasion a little thing happened which might have wrought havoc had it not been that Madam Talbott is not quite as temperamental as some singers and artists make out they have been forced through the crisis without a tremor and saved the day. sundry brothers and sisters down in the basement who had reported for their regular Wednesday night meetings, the evening, several of those down stairs warmed up to the spirit of the meeting, and in the old fashioned way gave expression to their religious favor, their desire to appear what they are not, or their desire against what was going on up stairs. Just as Mrs. Talbott was in the middle of one of those spirituaries a groan and a few shouts worked their way through the floor of the edifice to disturb the singer, who would not be allowed to appear several times until the noise dout out like the sun in the West. Meeting Folk Not Responsible The people down-stairs were not responsible. They put their money in church, and if they want to, it is their privilege to shout all over it. Mrs. Talbott was not responsible, not having made arrangements for the concert. But some one is responsible. Maybe a grand jury could be called, but it can be said as it was said some 1900 years ago, "Render unto Caesar that which is his." A church is not the place for amusements, M. E. Church in particular. Today the M. E. Church of the United States takes the credit or discredit for providing winks away and is now working on our smokes. It has out-lawed card playing, and dancing, and it now appears though very inconsistent it is about to take the business away from our剧院 and public halls. When this business has been thoroughly monopolized by the church, the "book-makers" had better look in the competitor in the field of chance. Dr. Spencer, of Morgan College Rev. Mr. Dean, of Sharp Street Memorial Church, and the Hon Oscar Thomas, of the Amsterdam News, had the most comfortable seats in the house. They rested in the arms of Morpheus throughout the evening. 13 Teachers Would Be Glad To Leave This year's report on the Baltimore School Teachers' shows they are looking for more "bucks." There has been a head over heels rush to take examinations for positions in other cities. Washington, both with eleven appointees, and New York brings up the rear with two. The complaints against the local conditions are various and sandy. First, not enough pay; second, the city is too dull, and third, the system is bogus and those in charge are not well trained. The idea is this city does well enough for training quarters, but when one is sufficiently trained, this is no longer a place to tinger. In other words, this is merely a training city. True in years past, teachers are not nations of foreign territories, but this is the first year that it looks like a premeditated affair.

He has imagerated the program as true, handied the program last year, he has been snubbed this year without warning, and it appears a fight may be made on him along other lines, mostly because he has not cold feet and is not afraid to talk. He is a forerunner of some better things. It is an ill wind that blows nobody badly. Johnson a Trustee James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. C.

KELLY MILLER SAYS KELLY MILLER SAYS While chasing the chimera of the Pan African Congress abroad, Dr. DuBois loses his grip on domestic conditions. Garvey in his robes as Emperor of Africa, and DuBois arrayed in the empty glamor and glory of ambassadorial splendor at the Court of Monrovia, form interesting spectacles for the American Negro to look at. We all desire ultimate redemption of Africa, albeit the programs of DuBois and Garvey seem equally impractical and bizarre. CRITICS OF THE SANHEDRIN I am receiving numerous inquiries as to the future course of the Negro Sanhedrin. The meeting at Chicago was a success beyond the fondest dreams of its promoters. I have watched with eagerness and hum interest the development of the press to the suggestion of the new enterprise. The contentment has been all but universally laudatory, with a few carping exceptions, based as it seems to me, upon a total inability or discrimination to grasp the underlying principle. In one or two instances there has appeared a guiding question that the new movement would rob some existing organization of some of its wonted or jaunted prestige. Another eriched exults in the fact that the Sanhedrin had brought forth nothing new under the sun. A good friend of traditional tendencies and orthodox type of opinion indulged in the gleeful bunter, that "you got the leaders of the race together for once, but you cannot have an uniting objection, forgot the earlier prophecy that the achievement was impossible in the first instance. When I first undertook to promote the idea I was overwhelmed with the counsel of the impossible. The idea was riddled in every mood and tense of ridicule. But it succeeded nevertheless. There was a few many who would take delight if the proposition should collapse. This is a type of temperament which it is hard for me to fathom. All will agree that existing agencies are failing lamentably to function effectively in our racial affairs. There is universal appreciation of the fact that this failure is due in the main to lack of harmony and co-ordination. The Negro Sunni community this lack. Should it fail, similar effort would be frustrated for fully half a generation. Why any Negro should gather any semblance of satisfaction from the prophesied collapse of this great effort surpasses my power of comprehension. However, the pessimists may possess their souls in peace and in patience. The Sandhini will not fail it is too deeply grounded in racial necessity to merit or to meet such a need. So much for the critics and the pessimists who can never rise above the level of negativity. MAY MEETING On the other hand, practically every race thinker has hastened to commend the great idea. The white press has proclaimed the Sanhedrin idea as one that is bound to bear great fruit. A federated military command of strength and cord of strength the scattered strands of racial endeavor is a simple statesman like proposition which meets with ready comprehension in every mind which grasps great social movements. Why are they moving the move bag? undercover interest interested. To this I can only answer with due apology, that large bodies move slowly, especially when they are first set in motion. The Chicago Conference elected a chairman, a vice-president, a secretary and a treasurer, and placed in office the tremendous of forming the preliminary organization. As chairman I confess that I have been waiting for the chance of a full conference with the other officers before making further publication of our plans. This conference is planned for the month of May. The public will be informed as to the important steps to be taken, and be only preliminary and provisional until the next session to be held within one year from the Chicago meeting. PROCEEDINGS TO BE PUBLISHED The full proceedings of the Chieference will shortly be issued, and a full account given to the public of the stewardship of the movement on part of the Committee on the Chieference will forth in clear form the aim of the Sanhedrin and its method of procedure. I regard the Constitution of the Sanhedrin as a remarkable document and plan of co-operation among agencies and activities that are so diverse and overlapping in nature and scope that harmonization so far has been deemed impracticable. The Sanhedrin does not propose to force up and down the organization represents the best focused intelligence and balanced judgment within the Negro race. We are building for all time. It is more important that we build wisely than that we make needless baste. If the organization can be made to operate at the next session, all of the ends of the movement will have been reasonably met. THE CRITICISM OF THE CRISIS Just as I had finished indulting the last sentence, some one called my attention to the May issue of the Crisis, which contains a pointed criticism of the Sandhedrin by the learned and brilliant editor. As usual, the opinion breathes in the reader's mind that learned doctor is famous. He belittles the movement because it did not indulge in vacuous denunciation on housing, intermarriage, union labor, and the Ku Klux Klan. One wonders if the learned editor has lost his grip on domestic conditions during his career, as he chinches the chinners of the Pan-African Conference and functioning for the moment as Envoy Extraordinary to the Court of Monrovia, perhaps the common place procedure of the Negro Sanhedrin seemed proxic and tame. Garvey in his robes as Emperor of Africa and Dubois arrayed in the glamor and glory of ambassadorism, form indeed interesting spectacles for the American Negro to look at. We all desire the ultimate redemption of African, albeit the programs of Garvey and Dubois may seem equally impractical and blizzarre. Dr. Dubois complains that the Sanhedrin brought no new ideals in the treatment of well-known evils. This was far from the purpose of the promoters. It might be said in passing if, if any, friends of the editor of the Crisis, harboring ideas on the topics mentioned in his criticism, he very studiously hides them from the readers of his journal. The aim of the Sanhedrin is to now find new nostrums for lynching, segregation or any other specific racial nicol. The N. A. A. C. P., the Equal Rights League, the Race Conference, and other rights organizations are called to this task. The Sanhedrin proposes to find and focus the whole monetary of race agencies upon the point of greatest pressure for the moment. It will work in through and by any existing organization to accomplish the end desired. The basis has been laid for the effective co-operation of agencies to address the variety of type upon all problems and issues which are race wide and race deep. It is deeply to be regretted that so influential a journal as the Crisis should place itself in the negative column upon a movement that all but universally deemed potential of the largest racial good. It is interesting to note, however, that this is the declared opinion of Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, and does not commit to public opinion beyond the range of his personal authority he was hoped to help the editor will change his opinion on the revolution of new light, or by placing himself in a more generous and favorable attitude to the light already revealed. THE PEOPLE RECEIVE THE SANHEDRIN GLADLY Since the adjournment of the Chicago Conference, I have spoken on the Sanhedrin plan and program in Indianapolis, New York, Baltimore, Norfolk and Richmond. The people are everywhere eager and anxious for further development and practical application. We have planned the work; it now only remains to work the plan. This we propose to do regardless of the criticisms which our committee had reason to expect constructive and helpful suggestions. The critics are few: the friends are many. I wish to propose a single question to the Sanhedrin critics: If the Sanhedrin fails, what will succeed? SEGREGATION AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL As I stated sometime ago, in this column, the question of residential segregation by covenants is now being tested by the courts of this jurisdiction. The principle of the covenant has been upheld by the Supreme Court of the District Columbia and the Court of Appeals which is now holding the question under decision. Whichever way the case is decided there will be an appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States. Here is a matter that affects the whole race. The eyes of the nation are upon this spot. If negotiation is failed in the District of Columbia which falls wholly under federal jurisdiction, all other cities of the land, North, South, East and West, will gladly copy, and point the justifying finger to the example set by the capital of the nation. This cause should engage the inter-State Negro agency and organization in the whole land. The mission of the Sanhedrin when fully organized will be to call the attention of the whole race through a centralized agency which can reach quickly, and effectively the various organizations into which our complex racial life is divided, and focus it upon this local danger which has serious natural limitations. It might well operate for this purpose the instrumentality of the existing organization best calculated to serve the race at the needed time and place.

Modest, well-trained, encouraging and of a loveable disposition. One who doesn't shirk the responsibility of trouble, but faces and bears it for the sake of loved ones. Who tries to make sunshine and happiness rule over clouds, in all things and is satisfied with the lesser things in life, knowing she cannot have the greater things though she would love to have as most women would. Who is faithful and trusting, shuns bad habits, can look the world in the face, and doesn't forget sometime to bow down to thank her husband gives her life, health, strength happiness. Who takes great sacrilege to impress her happiness into the dust so that some loved one may profit thereby. Such a woman is courageous, ensible, has will power and a master mind. All these high qualities makes a good woman. BEULAH MONTGOMERY, 584 Tyson Street Week's Best Joke The Afro gives a prize for the best contribution to this column. Write Joke Editor, Afro-American.

Fine friendships are never made in that manner. Advice to a Daughter Dear Annie Roney—My mother is always saying I am unjust to her. She says I don't care anything about her only to be my shave and do my hair. She says I don't give my life for the sake of my dear mother. She isn't well, and the doctor wants her to go to the hospital, but she feels that she can't leave the house, as it would not be kept clean. She don't know she is breaking my heart by saying rule things, and that I shouldn't say, but I got so unsturdy I don't know what I am doing. She says I'd give her up for my boy friend, but that isn't true. She knows I love her, but she doesn't love me and my boy for her. Won't you help me prove my love to my mother? HEARTBROEN DAUGHTER. Heartbroken Daughter—The best proof of your love you can give your mother is by being patient and gentle with her. It is hard due to her lack of the talks she does. Just ignore what she may say, no matter how hard it seems for you to hear. Her in every way you can. Relieve her of all the household duties you can, and try to come to do as the doctor has to be well and strong and that she will make you happy by doing as the doctor wishes. When she is cross, just bite the end of your tongue rather than answer her shyness. arms and talk to her when she did when you were a little girl. She loves you, my dear, and will be more than willing to meet you half way. Try it and see.

I had crawled unhunted with my arm around aunt told zine Section, of with my one stalk to the cow, her husband I did so, and started on a swift his marriage walk toward the pen, which was insulted and situated in the center of the field. his spark of love was about halfway across the field when I happened to touch her and there was need for food.

Yet, she says, she loved him, his wife, his marriage, had brought her these four dear affectionate children to bestow her love on. This is a very fortunate mother to be blessed with sweet disposition children, especially since the father seems so selfish and dishonest that he is equally as responsible for their existence as the mother. I would not advise any one to marry a person they hated and could not reverence and respect. Children should be conceived in love, not hatred, and husband and wife, with the mother of his children, will either cause his children to become disrespectful to their mother, or they will in time learn to hate him. It takes the cooperation of both parents to rear children properly. He has as indiscipline as a good mother. So girls, when you think of marrying, ask yourself this question: Could I have, reverence, and read the Bible, enough to be the father of our children?

Love Letter My Darling:— With the child of what you have told me tonight upon my senses, I am benumbed, yet I feel I must write a few words to you so help me and help me to sleep, for I am so tired, so lonely for you. That we must part is unbearable. The cruel pains tighten at my heart, dear, and O the Lord that must bleed, blood inwardly always, always to ache in silence! Life has always had her way with me, dear. She found me a willing toy. In her capricious teachings she has sometimes cheated me, but I have prayed on, and, knowing you have been the end of the rainbow, I have followed the glorified life of hope, happiness, belief, vision, and love, only to look again to find the color and the world of faces and face and face, the long, weary way. The moon has gone, the stars have fled, and perhaps even God has forgotten. My love for you is for you, for you, and for you, and I consume my body and soul, now me, I can now only reach out memory's hands to touch you. My dear, there is a secret shrine in my heart where only one may enter. I pray for your happiness. Good night and good bye. Always I love you. JOHN McIVER Lamberton, Pa.

Indeed, I would look and feel 10 years older than on other evenings. After this had happened many times I noticed it was when I had worn a certain pair of shoes, and that I felt most rested when I wore another pair. The latter were built over a commonsense last and had supported archs, while the former had narrow toes, though not high heels, and had supported the foot. Since then I have proved that these shoes surely accounted for the tired feeling and have decided that to be beautiful one must have a good foundation.

That in the course from a side room as George that he searches the room, That on finding no lover the whereabouts of the other him that the gentleman to w Mr. Smith, is the party, and Smith if the charge is true. POOR LI'L CAROLIN By Ben Goodlow That George Esses, disappointed husband of the model wife, Carolin', has finally been brought into the home, called the "Love Nest," of the man who is supposed to have seduced her, the man with whom she returned to her home one morning near three o'clock. That there is a man, a woman and a baby in the home, but no sight of Carolin'. That in the course of time Carolin' emerges from a side room as George is preparing to enter it and that he searches the room, a bed room, for her lover. That on finding no lover there he demands from her the whereabouts of the other man. That she calmly tells him that the gentleman to whom he has been talking, a Mr. Smith, is the party, and that George has just asked Smith if the charge is true. "We do not keep roomers" replied were ushered into this room, it was an enemy-I am afraid you have my positive opinion that my friend the host finally, returning George's fixed glance, "and as for you having come to the wrong house. What is hatred that makes for strife, but in "Smith is the only thing I know," but I do not believe that is his real name. He probably has a dozen, he has been building not later, that a have been informed that he resides week ago." "My name is Smith," said the man "and I have lived here for a year. I am employed at one of the local banks. But, sir, if I have done you an irreparable wrong I have no knowledge of it. You are a stranger to me." "Would you be offended if I should ask you a question?" "If it isn't too personal," said the man called Smith. "Are you acquainted with Carolina Essex?" I could see the man start visibly. I could also notice a sudden change in the woman who was standing near our host's chair. Both of them looked uneasily toward a closed door which probably opened into a room where the glance was so obvious that any one would have noticed it. With a happy little gurgle he held his drawing tablet up so that the woman could see it, and invited her to inspect a horse that he had laboriously drawn. But instead of inspecting the work of art, the woman reprimanded the old shammy, severely. I thought, and the woman mouthing lips, returned to his drawings. But I did not waste much time on the baby. I was alarmed at George's brassiness. He approached the door in an authoritative manner, as if he were an officer of the law armed with a search warrant. I could tell by the expression on his face that an interference despite the fact that he was in another man's house. Another thing that puzzled me was Carolin's failure to put in an appearance. Of course, her presence was not necessary, but she had promised to be there, and somehow I was depending on her. Fessel reached the door but he did not open it. It opened by unseen hands before he could finger the knob, and a person stepped out. At sight of this person George uttered an exclamation of sheer amazement. He stood there like a man transfixed, incapable of involuntary motion. The person closed the door and stood with her back to it, gazing at Fessel with the calm resignation of a saint in the calm of crime. She was Carolin' Fessel. The woman, Mrs. Smith, glanced nervously at the calm Carolin' a moor; and then snatched the child from the door and scurried over to the duffel, where she sat down, the child hugged digitly to her, one arm wrapped around her, the she man frightened out of her wits. The man, Smith, removed his glasses, tucked them away in a case, rose to his feet, and walked over to one of the front windows, where he stood with his back to us. As for me well, I felt queer. I did not like the situation at all, but we were at the start in the air that tragedies are made of. I knew Exsex was in a desperate mood. While we were yet standing in front of this house, before we now FRIDAY. MAY 9 CAROLIN Goodlow FamousWriters Guild, Chicago.) Hisappointed husband of the nally been brought into the "of the man who is supposed in with whom she returned to three o'clock. That there is play in the home, but no sight course of time Carolin' emerges is preparing to enter it and a bed room, for her lover. Here he demands from her the man. That she calmly tells whom he has been talking, a that George has just asked were ushered into this room, it was my positive opinion that my friend had reached the point where he could face Carolin' and her lover calmly, free from the maze and hatred that makes for strife, but in the flight of a minute he had changed to a man charged with the red hust for revenge. Intently, ready to interfere at the least sign of trouble, I watched the man and wife, I even got to my feet and moved to the center of the floor so that I would not lose any touch, I reached on should my assistant be reached. George was the first of the two to speak. His voice was a savage snarl. "Get away from that door," he demanded, "and permit me to enter." Without taking her big eyes from his face, she moved inside. Giving her a final contemptuous look, returned the knob and pushed the door open. She was wrapped in darkness. She strode into it, striking a match so that he could see. Curiously, I moved closer, keeping an eye on Carolina, who appeared to ignore me. George found a lamp on a table in the room and turned it on. The room was dark. The lamp, a small one, cast a foble illumination around the little room, revealing the fact that it was a bed chamber. But there was no visible occupant. The single closet was searched by the husband but it was as empty as the bed chamber. The man's person could conceal himself. Wardful, the husband returned to the living room. Carolina' was still standing where he had left her. She was just as calm as ever, brave, but I could sense that a terrible battle was about to begin by her big, staring eyes. The light in them was awful, indescribable, unnatural. "I will not ask you to explain your presence here," George said to her in tones that caused her to ringer a just woe that, for I am no longer concerned with your movements. But I will ask you to show me the man whom you have been shielding. I do not my right to know this man. "I am not shielding a man," she replied, in a voice so strange and unnatural that it did not seem like her own. "I should you lie to me," he gritted. "Are you afraid that I will harm him? If so, calm your fears. I merely want to see what manner of man he is. After I have seen him I will leave you and him in peace. It is not necessary for me to harm him. In a few years you will do that yourself." She wined at the implication, but her courage did not waver. "I do not love any man but you," she said, struggling hard to maintain her calm.

SOX TAKE TWIN BILL Break In Game Came After Potomac Apparently Had The Game Well Salted Down. A baseball game is never won until the last hand is out. State Hill is not only a first-class manager, but a real pinch hitter. Out they said he was thru as a baseball player. Out West he said he was thru as a baseball player. 5,000 fans said Sunday he has just begun. All of this is a preface to reporting the Sox won a doubleheader Sunday, 19-9, and 15-2. They won the first game because they stopped trying to knock the cover off the ball and began putting in the infielders' hands. In the first game, the first game was won by heavy tickwork after two were down in the ninth, and the Potomacs apparently had the game safely won. 8-7. It happened like this: The Sox fell on pitcher Newsome of the Potomacs early and drove him from the box, amassing the comfortable lead of 7-4. With two in the eighth, Hampton, a pinch hit, broke out before Britt and the Sox could settle, put over two additional runs to make the score 8-7. Then came the fatal ninth. Hallway popped to second baseman. Owens got Hallway, and when Slackman sent a hit high foul in front of the plate, the fans ground out. Owens was the break, the wind caught the ball and carried it down to Williamson, who, with mouth open and muscles paralyzed, saw the ball drop at his very feet. Then came Pete Hilt, with a mighty wallop to secure good for two bases, and Slackman jumped home with the winning tallies. The loss of this game took the starch out of the Potomacs, who were shut out in the nightcap. First Inning Washington--Shirley struck out 10 flooded foul to Wilson, Taylor foul to Wilson.

MAY 9 "LEFTY" BROWN HARVARD'S STAR Cambridge, Mass., May 1—Earl Brown, former Howard University star, hurted the Crimson to a 11 to 5 victory over Middlebury yesterday. Brown is the first colored man on the baseball team since the days of Gregory and Matthews. He fanned six in seven innings and allowed 7 hits, two of them to the colored variety. The same raw temperature that Soldiers Field has provided for the "Babe"'s other starts of this season kept the left-hander from displaying his best wares. That Harvard rooters have accepted newspaper estimate that the member of the varsity pitching team, the widest assortment of stuff" was indicated this afternoon in the round of applause that greeted Brown's trims to the plate. A single lift to right field, that landed him on first, and advanced a base-runner, in the third inning, was the sum of Brown's stick work. The moundsmash of his other plate triumph, feature his batting average. In the eighth, when Harvard had tucked away a six-run lead, Brown retired in favor of Toulmin, who held Middlebury out of scoring reach for the remainder of the game. Capt.

O.'s To His Credit Afro Sports Editor Recalls His Visits To Virginia, Where He Wed. Afro Sports Editor According to recent announcement by Tex Rickard, the American public is practically assured of seeing a match between Harry Wills, the colored heavyweight, and Jack Dempsey, the champion of the world. Wills, as well as the people, has been waiting patiently for three years for this bout, and it comes as a surprise that out of the most unusual chapters in heavyweight history. It is also charged that political influence had blocked attempts to put on the bout in New York State. 44 Kayos Wills attracted considerable attention beginning in 1911, when he kayaked Battling Taylor in seven rounds, and since that time he has fought 44 times, and won by the knockout route, including such fighters as Gunhout Smith, Kid Norfolk, Bill Tate, Sam McVey, Sam Langford, Jill Sullivan, Tat Jenkins, and Howard. Before Wills will have the opportunity of meeting Dempsey in the squared arena, he will have to dispose of two barriers in his path—Eartley Madden, whom he meets on May 12th, and Quintin Rongero, heavyweight, or Erinero Spalla, Italian, who holds the European heavyweight title, at Boyles Thirty Aces, probably on June 21. King experts are of the opinion that he will win from these tests, but will meet his stiffest position from Romero II he (Romero) survives his American debut on May 9th at Madison Square Garden with Floyd Johnson, Iowa heavyweight. As Popular As Joe Gans Wills is one of the best liked fighters in the country, and his popularity rivals that of the late Joe Gians. He doesn't drink or dissipate, and is a great lover of home life. Wills had the pleasure of meeting him during a visit to his wife's relatives in Virginia, (the married a Virginia girl) and several prominent men of the city made arrangements to stage a series of parties in his honor, but Wills courteously refused their invitation and said he preferred to remain in the country with his wife. He spent nearly the whole of his visit in the country, and on the few occasions he drove the big roadster into the city it was on business. Never Takes a Drink Although we have been with him at other times on "nights out" with the boys, we have never seen him take a drink, though he were offered several. We will never forget the first time (which has been the last) we shook hands with the huge step first closed like a powerful steer trap and nearly crushed the bone. Whenever the conversation led around to Dempsey, Wills always was quiet and was contented to let the other fellows do the talking, but it could be readily seen that nothing would please him more a chance to meet him in the ring. When Wills left town he camp around to Bills all the boys good bye, but it was noticeable that no one shook his hand. Wills in 94 Bouts The summary of Wills' career shows that he has engaged in 94 matches; knockouts, 44; won 29; no decisions, 13; knocked out by 1; exh. 1. Dempsey shows that he has engaged in, 69; knockouts, 47; won, 11; knocked out by, 1; no decisions, 2; draw, 4; lost, 2; exhibition, 2. AMONG BOXERS New York.

Dr. Giering's Educational Talks For Poisoned Men With Social Diseases And Loss of Vitality be a living being possessing the full powers of manhood is a blessing and should be safeguarded as a sacred treasure. Loss of manhood is due to many causes such as congenital malformation, a religious delicacy, from acquired defects in the organs of generation, or it may be consecutive—inherited, neurasthenic or follow the effects from one or more of the social diseases. To restore normal functioning of manhood requires the most scientific and research declared Dr. Giering in his lecture. Impotence, loss of manhood and weakened vitality is not a condition in you to laugh at or ridicule and pass over lightly, for you are a sick man and owe it to yourself and society to seek intelligent advice and treatment from a skilled physician. If your vitality is deficient you are a drone in our social fabric—your neglect to seek proper treatment to correct your normal functioning may lead to a pervert, suicide, or a mad man, and is the cause of many broken homes also, stated Dr. Gierling. Ignorance, prudery and a false sense of propriety causes you to live a life of mental misery because you are self conscious of the lack in your feet and the foot above more than any other should influence you to seek advice and treat- Important to Men Many who have received 606, Salvarsan, or any of the Intravenous treatments for Syphilis do not realize that one or more shots of 606 is not a positive cure for Syphilis without other medical treatment properly directed.

Our ferent from the Cathol Catholics Blamed For Jim Crow Boys' STANFORD FOR POLICEWOMEN Retiring Central Dist. Magistrate Also Favors Colored Detectives Here PRAISE FOR ATTORNEYS Magistrate Also Denounces Recent Raid Of The Good Hope Hall "I believe that colored policewomen should be appointed to handle certain phases of the crime problem here and that they are needed in the same way that white policewomen are needed," retiring Magistrate John H. Stanford told an AFROAMERICAN reporter Friday. This statement was made by Margaret Standard in an interview in which he gave some of his observations and experiences in the Central police court affecting colored people "On the whole," said Mr. Standard. "I have not been too enthusiastic about policewomen, but there is little doubt in my mind but that this division of the system can be made an important factor in the unanimously of the opinion that we should have colored as well as white. Favors Colored Detectives "I believe also," said Mr. Stanford, "that colored detectives to disspecific work among colored people would strengthen the police department. Several times during my work as Magistrate I have been surprised to find colorful detectives coming up from cities in the Carolinas and other sections of the South in charge of or for colored prisoners. The more that I have talked to the men the more I have felt that colored detectives would be valuable if properly detailed." One Measure of Justice "In my own destitutes with colored offenders, I have tried to use the same measure of justice as that for every other citizen. The evidence in the case has been the chief factors in decisions, decisions, decisions, and have been of minor nature. Even cutting and shooting cases are less serious among colored people than the same affairs would be among some other people; for from my observation they do not withing with less serious and their use in the case of razor is never so顽ious as the use of the stiletto in the hands of some other groups. Rape Wholesale Fines In commenting on the wholesale-filing of 496 men and women taken in a dance hall in the Western Police District, Magistrate Stanford 22 stated that the suspects were possible and had never been practiced in his court. In all group arrests in public resorts or in places where it is legal for people to go at will, every case should be treated individually. Also, all man or woman should be published in the police evidence of their guilt of the crime charged. Praises Colored Attorneys Magistrate Standford paid a tribute to colored attorneys when he stated that he had high regard for those who had come into his court. "Men of the type of J. Stewart Davis and others whom I have had chance to observe, seem to be otherwise highly quality of men. I have found practically no tendency to shyster practice among these men and have come to regard them as earnest factors in our criminal machinery." Mr. Standford retired from active duty as Magistrate Sunday. Some time ago he made known his intention to go back to the prison system. Mr. Standford all of the Magistrates were reappolished by Governor Ritchie. *Continued on Page 9* Save You Save Your Eyes POOR EYESIGHT ORGAN IN If you suffer from Hear the eyes, or Inability to do —SH THE LINCOLN 1028 Pennsly Near Pre Branch Office: 1101 Eyes examined and If you suffer from Headaches, Dizziness, Pain in the eyes, or Inability to do close work, don't delay.

Others Every Five Years CLINICS ARE OPEN Public Will Be Vaccinated Free In Several Schools And Health Offices With the total number of smallpox cases in the country nearly four times that of the corresponding number last year, the city has started war on the disease. According to the Health Department, in Maryland 35 cases have been reported since January 14 of which 141 were in Baltimore. Although the number of cases so far occurring in Baltimore is comparatively small, the prevalence of the disease in nearby places makes an epidemic in the near future quite likely.

Deputy Declares Negroes Should Have Been Glad To March In The Rear of Procession 1,000 BOYS IN LINE Parents Kept Many at Home Hi Seniors Show Manhood And Refuse To March Kansas City—Parents kept their children at home rather than permit them to march in the rear of a Boys' Week Parade. Philadelphia — 70,000 boys marched in the annual Boys' Week Parade. One of the feature was a band containing 16 different nationalities. There was no race distinction. By A. B. Budd Catholic heads of the Knights of Columbus, along with Mayor Jackson, and Superintendent West, are being held responsible for the Jim Crow boys' Week Parade held here last week in which all the colored children were placed at the extreme end of the line of march. Mayor Jackson said he had hoped to avoid the Jim Crow proceedings, and if he failed this year he would see that the matter were remedied next year. Superintendent West refused to take any responsibility, saying that the public school children was out of his hands. Several years ago, it was pointed out, Superintendent Koch refused to permit any school children to parade unless all, both white and colored, paraded together. Mayor Jackson, it is said, could have taken a similar action. This year, had he not paraded Catholics Blamed George R. Callis, white, architect, with offices in the American Building, was chairman of the parade, and despite all protests insisted that colored children march last. First marched the white public, private and parochial schools, next white organizations like white boy scouts, Y. M. C. A., telegraph boys, special delivery boys, and even the white definients at State Training School. Last, behind everybody else, was the colored contingent. A reporter sent to ask Archibishop Curley what the Catholics had against colorism that they should put them at the end of a civic parade safely on the ground in color learned that the Archibishop was out of town for the rest of the week. Officials at the Catholic Welfare Bureau admitted that the parade was in charge of the Knights of Columbus and that Callis was given the authority to direct it for them. Issue E. George, deputy of the Knights of Columbus, told the in-house reporter's question, said, "We Catholics have nothing against colored people. The colored boys showed well in the parade, and they should have been glad to march at the end where they were by themselves and could be all together. But I would not agitate that question, because it would not have done to mix them all up." Asked why all the Italians, Jews and other aliens were not put together, and why race should have been the basis of separation rather than organization, Mr. George said he did not design, create, and would only say that he personally had nothing to do with it. Catholics Would Lead While Mr. George was declaring that Negroes would be glad to bring up the rear in a civic parade, it came out that the whole parade came near going to smash because Catholics wanted to lead the procession and not take second place behind the private or public schools. In the public schools dropped out following a controversy, leading Catholics are said to have gone to the Mayor and declared, "We co-operated last year when the public schools ran the Boys' Week Parade. They ought to co-operate now this year when we control it." The public schools are the ordered group led by the Mayor. How little the K. C. thought of their own colored members is shown by the fact that their own colored group representing St. Bambas church brought up the very last group of marchers. White parochial schools had marching clubs with new uniforms, and each of the larger ones had a drum corps. They spent thousands of dollars to make a good showway. Over Two Hours In Line At the beginning of the parade, 1,000 colored children stood two hours and a half in the sun waiting for the procession to move. Originally 1,500 were ordered to marche, but only 100 were kept at home by parents, who got wind in time of the Jim crow arrangements. The only group to defy the segregation arrangement openly were the High School Seniors, who declined to take a part. Principal Mason Hawkins, Vice-Principal Carrington L. Davis and John Jones Wheeler, all of the High School, led the all disbanded group, who came several of the elementary schools, each led by the principals and accompanied by the teachers with stern faces, and apparent anxiety to be anywhere else in a jim crow parade. Some of the teachers also quit after the parade started. The only group which seemed to get any please out of the march was Howell Gross, his group from South Baltimore. Thruout the whole line of march they marched and counter marched, which together with other monkey shines served to open up a gap of three city blocks between them and the preceding school before they reached the City Hall.

This banner was carried by a white school in the Boys' Week Jim Crow Parade: "I pledge allegiance to my flag and the republic for which it stands, one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." According to one spectator, this is how the banner should have read: "I pledge allegiance to my flag, and the republic for which it stands; one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all—EXCEPT THE COLORED PEOPLE." This meaningless pledge is required of all colored children in the public schools, at least once a day, generally at the morning assembly. TUBERCULOSIS Miraculous Results Are Testified to By Tubercular Sufferers Who Have Used the "Haelan" Treatment at Home Peacemaker In Dutch "Blessed are the peacemakers" is a saying that won't give Ulysses Taylor, 1006 N. Wolfe street, much consolation for a long while. Last Sunday afternoon when Mr. and Mrs. Son Chambers, of the same address, resorted to fasting methods to settle a dispute between them, Taylor entered the fraces as a peacemaker. A few minutes later he was in the John Hopkins Hospital. According to Taylor, he was caught between the cross fire of the domestic wrangle and seemed to be the only one counted among the injured. He was also said to have been wielded by Mrs. Chambers. The pair was dismissed when he failed to prosecute. Said Parson Got The Dead's Money Mourners in the home of Mrs. Elizabeth Robinson, 76 Harford avenue, thought the dead had come to life when the disappearance of $18 of the money reposing on the coffin of Joseph Anderson have revealed Parson Annual Anderson to "bless out the place" Wednesday. According to statements made at the airing of the affair at the Northwestern Police Station, Rev. Brother Anderson, who leads a little flock in that section, was called in to supervise the raising of funds to put because the money had been stolen. Anderson stated that the amount had swelled to about $20 when the person began counting it at intervals and that at each count it decreased until it had diminished to the sum of $12. At this point the wake got rough and it required to police to bring the departing soul. On the charge of disturbing the peace, Rev. Pro. Anderson was fined $25 and costs. Was Nothing At All When police heard a commotion and firing of a gun at 1022 N.

"Tell us all about it Mrs. Eates, you the Magistrate Sunday in court, "Justice holding at all" answered the now recried wife. "I know he did not mean to do it and I do not want to prosecute."

BURKE MUST SUPPORT WIFE SAYS JUDGE Baltimore Supreme Bench Will Tighten Reigns On All Delinquent Mates Who Are Not In Every Thursday In Criminal Court To Be Given Over To Settling Family Rifts "There will be no more excuses considered for husbands who do not support their wives," said Judge Gorter in "Domestic Relations" Court this week. This announcement followed a conference of members of the Supreme bench and hereafter no excuse, including even unfavorable of the wife, will wage husbands' immunity. Unlawful cases are set in the civil courts and there is legal separation, men coming before the Baltimore Courts will be made to support their wives. Domestic Relations Under a presumed outpour of Under Attorney Herbert O'Connor, every Thursday will be domestic relations day. All non-support cases and those affecting family relations will be tried. In the past mens have not in all cases been required to support wives and children. In some cases of either desertion or unfaithfulness. Hereafter they will be required to give them the same support until the matter is settled. In all cases men must support their children, however. It will be known that the Baltimore Court will hereafter brook on negligence along this line.
