All 24th Infantry Soldiers To Be Freed In Four Years BROTHERS DUEL TO DEATH KILLS BROTHER WITH CRANK OF AUTO Clarence and Charles Kenner Duel to Death In Their Own Garage VICTOR LEAVES UNHURT --- Leaves Brother Dying and Allows Friend to be Held for Crime Clarence Kenner, 537 McMechen street, struck the blow that caused the death of his brother, Charles, in their garage Friday night, he told Captain Lasther, of the Northwestern Station Saturday. This confession came 15 minutes after Captain Lasther, of the Northwestern Police Station placed him in a cell with a Bible and his conscience to clear up discrepancies found in the story he told the officers as to how his brother, Charles, came to his death. The first knowledge of the tragedy came about at 10:30 Friday night, when Kenner reported to Officer John Kates that he had found his brother by accident lying face down on the garage thief. When examined two deep wounds were found on the back of his head, made there by some heavy instrument. According to the first story told by Kenner, he in company with James Butler, 1523 Meyer avenue, the garage, the car in which the brothers kept their car and as they were leaving Kenner suddenly called Butler's attention to the form of the man lying in the corner of the garage. "I believe that is my brother, Komer coolly pomanded, whereupon Barber ran into the police and when I was intrigued he held. PROTHER IS ARGISTED About 5:30 Saturday morning, finding discrepancies in the facts related by Kenner, Captain Laster ordered his arrest, and after questioning him for some time, left him with a Bible to meditate in the cell. Ten minutes later he called the captain and confessed the killing. DOMESTIC AFRAWS CAUSE In his confession Kenner stated that about 8:30 Friday night he went with his brother to the garage where a discussion of the family expenses took place. Charles was taken task for being extravagant and an argument ensued, according to Carrences. His brother picked up his wife, his brother jack and struck at him. Warding off the blow with his left hand he reached in the machine and grabbed a crank handle and struck him twice on the head. The man fell mortally wounded. He then coolly locked the garage door and went home, leaving his brother dying. About 10:30 that brother accosted Butler and asked him to accompany him out where they were to meet some girls and have a good time. Butler were first to go to the garage and get the body from fame, according to his confession, to construct the story of his confession, to construct the story of the body. Butler, not aware of what had happened, was thus to be used as a witness that the body was found by Clarence. CAPTAIN GETS CLUE The first belief that Kenner was connected with the death of his brother was established by Captain Laster when he found neighbors, including Joseph Poulson, who saw the two men enter the place together. An analysis of Kenner's story by Captain Laster also revealed, sufficient discrepancy to make the officer sure something was amiss. He took with him the Bible and conscience to fight it out. It worked and Kenner confessed. WILL PLEAD SELF DEFENSE That Kenner will plead self defense is indicated by his confession. The pair were having serious financial difficulties, it was said, and it was learned that both of the men had taken drinks shortly before the tragedy. Kenner is being held for a coroner's investigation, and it specifically sure that he will be held for the action of the grand jury and charged with murder. Charles Kenner was about 54 years old. The car, it was said, belonged to him. He relied on his younger brother, however, to drive it for him. According to neighbors, the older Kenner had sent the car to be repaired. The younger brother is said to have taken the car without having the man made, but presenting his brother a bill, declaring that everything had been fixed. PETER B. Solomon Porter Hood, U. S.

Atlantic City Voters Defeat Klan in Bitter Fight Ku Klux Candidate for Mayor Supported by Nutter and Lightfoot Gets Only a Few Colored Ballots Atlantic City, N. J.—The first open attempt of the Infamous Knights of the Kū Klux Klan to gain a foothold at Atlantic City was given a post-back back when for Mayor Harry Bacharach, who had the open support of the hooded order, was soundly trounced in the bitterest and most hotly contested election in the history of the resort. Mayor Edward L. B. Leder and the entire Republican organization ticket were given a 2 to 1 majority over the Klu Klux Bacharach, or as known during the campaign, the "People's Ticket." County Leader Snow Johnson, leader of the colored people, directed the organization battle and he is now being lionized by resort colored people.

Greenville, Ak., May 17 (Whip News Service)—During the recent hurricanes in this section many remarkable incidents occurred, one of the most remarkable of which probably was the blowing away of a little colored girl, who was found asleep on a mattress 2 miles from her home, where she had been by her side. She was injured. In other places the feathers were blown from the backs of fowl. to defeat their old friend, Harry Bacharach, who allowed himself to become aligned with the Klan support by not openly denouncing them. It is estimated by experts that 15 per cent of the colored people in the state believe that this percentage would have been even higher if it were not for the fact that Bacharach had as lieutenant the two former colored leaders, Attorney Isaac H. Nutter and Attorney James A. Lightfoot. Both men in big mass meetings made it clear that he would be the one to decide that the Klan was renamed, this in the face of a big Klan meeting on the Steel Pier, and also Klan meetings in every Protestant church in the city, and further the public announcement of "Colonel" A. A. A. Ardidge, of Ohio, confessed Klan leader, sent here a letter to the Klan, and this he claimed to do by giving the Klan support to Bacharach.

Mayor Eader has successfully thwarted every effort of this gang (Continued On Page Two) Pottsville, Pa., May 22 — Paris Tillman, 37, was fatally shot here on Saturday night by Julius Rivers after an altercation resulting over a "skin" game in which Rivers claimed Tillman owed him nine dollars. The two men, both professional gambles and gunmen, prior to the shooting had been fast friends, came to blows. Rivers getting the worst of the argument. From then it became a matter of shoot on sight and both men walked the streets of the "black belt," one waiting for a shot at the other. As Tillman emerged from a barber shop, gun in hand, Rivers, who had concealed himself in an alley an opened fire with a forty-five automatic. Three shots were fired, one striking Tillman in the right shoulder, one in the left arm and one entering his head at the base of the brain, coming out of his mouth. After being shot, Tillman, a powerful specimen of manhood, run about a half block to a restaurant conducted by himself where he fell dead. The local police and the State constabulary are searching for Rivers, who it was in a gambling house run by Rivers where "Graveyard" Brown, another well-known gangster, was fatally shot last week. Up to two years ago, Pottsville, a small city of 35,000 inhabitants, contained only eight colored families, and the steel mills in Contestus and other steel towns hundreds of Negroes seeking work in the coal mines migrated here, bringing with them the inevitable intux of gamblers, idlers and "bad men." Within the last eighteen months, the last three murders and numerous cuttings and shootings in the "black belt," which is generally known as the "bloody fifth ward," and not one of the murderers have been apprehended. The local authorities are thinking about giving this part of the city more time to bring up, deporting all idlers and undesirable.

ALL 24TH INF GET REDUCED SENTENCES 10 Life Termers Have Year More to Serve; Others Out Within 4 Years New York, May 20.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth avenue, today made public a letter from John W. Weeks, U.S. Secretary of War, dated May 13th, reporting that the prison sentences of every former member of the 24th Infantry, still imprisoned for alleged participation in the Houston Riot of 1917, had been reduced. According to the present revisions of sentence, every one of the men will be eligible for release, some immediately; some within a year, and all within the next four years. Secretary Weeks stated that he considered the War Department "has been most liberal in its treatment of the prisoners," especially since 30 of the men had been sentenced for life. Summary To summarize the above letter the facts, in brief are: 18 of the Houston martyrs are eligible for immediate release; 16 of them, 10 serving life sentences and 6 long terms, will be eligible for release within a year; 16 will be eligible for release early in 1927; and the remaining four early in 1928, or three years and seven months from now. The men were committed to Leavenworth prison in December, 1917, and have thus served six years and five months. Association Not Satisfied While the results obtained thus far are not all for which the N. A. A. C. P. and co-operating agencies hoped and worked for, ifeverless there is cause for rejoicing in that those who have the longest sentences yet to serve may only be released, the N. A. A. C. P. and those agencies which worked so faithfully in this effort yet feel that full pardon which was asked for should have been granted these men. It is noted from Secretary Week's letter that: "Under a role of the War Department in governing the subject, the pardon should be considered for clemency at least once each year, and neither the recent investigation by the board of officers, nor any action taken upon its recommendation, will preclude the consideration annually of the case of each one of the prisoners involved." N. A. A. C. P. is gratified at the results secured. At the same time it will continue its efforts for further reductions of sentence.

Fearing that Tammany Hall may continue to make great inroads on the colored vote during the coming campaign if Governor Al Smith is nominated for either the Presidency or the Governorship, New York Republican leaders are saying this matter grave consideration. Tammy Hall on the other hand is continuing to bid for the black vote and as proof of this has appointed within the fast week three colored Democrats Cornelius A. McBughall, former Deputy District Attorney under District attorney Whitman has been made an Assistant State Attorney-General at a salary of six thousand dollars a year. Two other officers of the Commissioner Civil Service Commissioner Ferdinand Q. Morton, in the persons of Lieutenants Oswald Desverney and Benjamin F. Wright, veterans of the Buffalo and Famous Fifteenth Regiments, have been made distributors of the Bonus assigned to New York and Albany respectfully. The Republican politicians have made aware of the things and many of them candidly told State Chair-County Chairman Samuel S. Keown Merriam Senator Wade Nugent that they remain the vote that they have lost is by naming a clean, independent, big colored man for Congress. This, these alarmed white Republicans leaders declare, would attract the colored voters throughout the State back to the Republican. Mr. Rumble has issued the following statement announcing his candidacy "I am in the fight to win. The five hundred thousand colored people of New York State demand representation in Congress. Conditions North and conditions South racially speaking, demand competent colored spokesmen for their people at the Capitol of the Nation. The influx of the colored people to the North is due to their unprotected rights in the South. The negro should use the North should use whatever power is at his disposal to extend a protecting arm to the Southern Negro. This will have a tendency to check the onrush from the South at a time when the farmer is in great demand."

They did not enter. Hawkins Vindicated Another pleasing feature of the election was the vindication of Dr. L. Hawkins, who supported Baden, one of the shore's most prominent citizens, who was made the brant of a mean political trick by Lightfoot and Nutter sometime ago when they led people to believe that Hawkins was responsible for segregation in the city schools. The issue was thoroughly aired in the campaign, and it was found out that segregation in the schools had been carried out in its worst form, that is, jim-crowded rooms, under Bacharach when he was Mayor four years ago, and that Hawkins as a member of the school board in preference to the jim crow rooms, demanded separate buildings which would be principled and taught by colored Pythian Bath House and Sanitarium Pythian Bath House and Sanitarium Knights of Pythias of N.

Baptist Pastor Re of Youth by an Baptist Pastor Regains Vigor of Youth by an Easy Method Made vigorous again after being on the down grade 14 years! Made "young" again after he had almost surrendered to "old age," which had come to him too soon. Made strong, cute and happy again, after he had given up all hope. This has been the joyous experience of the Rev. George B. Pinkney, recording to a recent statement issued by this prominent Baptist pastor of New Jersey, on expensive operation" was performed, no expensive methods were employed to restore him the physical powers of his prime, the Rev. Mr. Pinkney explains. Instead, he taught the skill and ambition of youth by a simple method anybody can use at home, safely and secretly. This is the recently discovered korrekt treatment, the basic principles developed by European specialists. "In the fourteen years of my decline," says Dr. Pinekney. "I tried everything recommended for my treatment, poor and poor, for treatment, poor and poor, or couldn't afford—and none I brought relief. I continued to decline more swiftly each day until Providence brought k orex compound on its wings. "I was a biologist of kores when a brother told me about it, an inner voice urged me to try the compound. The results is, I am back to normal. I am in as good shape as ever. I use k orex, my eyes seemingly hopeless. Korex may have an equal in the medical world, but I don't. Countless thousands in my life, as well as other races, are suffering as well, not just that relief is within reach." Strangely enough, an important ingredient of korex compound comes from Africa, ancient home of the Negro Race. European physicians say this substance acts directly and firmly on lower spinal new receptors, improving the circulation and promoting a sense of new vigor and animation, sometimes within a few hours. Another ingredient is extracted in Europe. Others are prepared in America. All are combined in compressed tablets, warranted to contain no "dope" or illegal drugs. agree to pay $2 and postage on delivery; but if I report within 10 days that I am not satisfied, you are to refund my $2 upon request.

Rogers, Jr. The cast of but four characters is: Mrs. Joplin, Ella, her daughter-in-law, Stranger, and Ed. Joplin, Ella's husband. The setting is in a wood- The playboy is a potent argument against lynching. Briefly a neighbor had been found with a Negro, and briefly with a Negro. It was a foregone conclusion that the latter must have done it. The man have left the woman to finish the job. The woman are not so sure that the colored man is guilty, the elder woman especially refusing to believe that such a timid person would kill anyone. had them to that day with a Negro. It was a foregone conclusion that the latter must have done it. The men have left the women at home to join the posse that will finish the Negro. The women are not only the elder colored men specially refusing to believe that such a third person would kill anything. There is a noise in the woods and the woman levels the gun supposing that it is the Negro. The woman staggers on and reveals himself as a medicine fakie. The arrival of the head of the house and his subsequent explanation spoils the sale and greatly disturbs the intruder. The women figure the role of Killing hands unseen but, as a matter of fact, he is the real murderer. "We started our partnership several years ago in Baltimore."

'ROUND LIL' LOL WITH 'BILLB' SCORNED WOMAN'S FURY WORST This picture, "Scaramouche," aptly named the screen sensation of the Century, comes to the Dunbar Theatre on Monday and Tuesday, May 29th and 27th. They called him "the bastard of Gavirillac." Yet they tell before his sword like chaff before the wind. Until at last he crossed blades with the enemy of his vengeance, the man he hated worst in the world—who was nearer to him than any other! And the flush of their clashing blades was like the stroke-of-death lightning after thunder. And the lightning struck! Too late a woman Swoeon she fell into the wounded in La Tour d'Azur. But to Louis-Louis Morrall that sight opened wounds deeper than flesh, cut him as no sword-thrust ever could! One of the thrilling scenes in "Scaramouche." Thousands on thousands of people jammed the public square of Rennes during the French Revolution. On their ears fell the ringing words of an apostle of liberty. A bullet barked, and liberty's champion fell dead at the feet of the people. To his place sprang Andre-Louis, a Frenchman in his breast and daring words of vengeance on his lips, and the fury of his attack left them breathless, speckbound. Then into the seething mug dashed the dragoons, to take him dead or alive. What happened? DIXIE PERFORMERS MUST ORGANIZE Emile Williams, who was pianist with the Star theatre orchestra in Shreveport, La., during the season blit that just just happened. Jim City, Eddie Widney of Ladyette, now replaces him at the house now open with a picture policy. George McDaniel is the leader of the band. Simon Bryance is business manager of the theatre themselves. Apopras to the vaudeville situation in the extreme south, Wesley Varnell, our reviewer in that territory says that the impoverished condition of most of the shows and the industry of the theatre themselves themselves. Aets that have written to him grumbling about their treatment, are to his own definite knowledge guilty of accepting engagements with other companies in other conditions that they know to be impossible of fulfillment. Wesley says that if the many grumblers would have the courage to decline such offers, and go to work otherwise, would be far better off than present. On a tour thru Texas, he declares that he encountered six theater management们 are willing to pay more money than the booking offices offer in the courtroom they submit for a hearing. Performers must either get together, standardize their business, get worthwhile material and equipment then either get real money, or get out altogether; else be starved out in the manner now prevailing. By J. A. Jackson 'ROUND LI'L OL' NEW YORK WITH "BILLBOARD" JACKSON With "In Bamville" A JOHNNY HUDGINS stopped the show in Cleveland and Chicago, and will appear in the "Y" benefit. SAYINGS OF SISSLE AND BLAKE COMEDIANS WHO BRING THEIR NEW SHOW "IN BAMVILLE" HERE NEXT WEEK. "We are not out for money alone and don't care to act as private entertainers. We sang for an hour in Chicago for a woman and when we left she handed us a check for $500." "Name a multi-millionaire in New York, and by looking in our books we can tell when we entertained him on his yacht, at his summer home or his winter palace." "All understand, we are not trying to be white actors because we know we have something of our own to develop." "Jazz originated with the American Negro. It was his way of expressing his religious emotions. In France with Europe's Band, we competed with the best bands of France and truly at a great celebration at the war. When we insisted the people did not want us to stop. Seems to me their applause is still ringing in our ears." "In Boston, before our show started, a woman on the first bench declared, 'Great devilves, were at a table, and I was sitting down, she came to apologize, saying: 'I have never enjoyed myself more in a single evening in a theater.'" Toney Langston "The Old Roll Top" of the Defender recently took on an assistant. This his enabled him to bibble and blink and to and behold you his letters are now adorned with a signature that would make a futuristic phone call and to pay any performer to write to Toney just get one of those autographs. Folks "its a hound." This letter binging is a great part of an art class. The very next one we opened was from Sam Reading of the Reading advertising service in Philadelphia. It contained "A pair for the Citizens' Bath Soap." The next one was Sam is a publicity hound. Wish he was on the staff of the P. P. R. with that generous spirit of his. If we can save him, we will give him "Sounds" the "Oces over." Harry Hill's "Bringing up father" company of which Frank Kirk the burlesque musician has been a member since its opening, played the work of the late John Lennon, looked the performance over, and very easily understood the enthusiastic notices that his work had received in many cities during the season. Frank works as a drum show and video demonstration in his home, he elitizes a half dozen laugh provoking and ingenious home made musical instruments, besides having an original act. Frank is so well liked by an otherwise all-white comedian that the mandeville manager to write a vandeville manager a rather凄 caster letter when the latter expressed doubt about the wisdom of accepting his single offering. When he went backstage at M.E. Carpenter's old owners important in the amusement world, were doing likewise. Frank is held in high esteem. Incidentally he is situated so that he can return to his garden Jacksonville, IL, with little concern cookers for this and any other summer. Billy Cumby is not an idler, and besides that his work is its own recommendation. Ergo, he closed with Jack Geld's burlesque show, and the following Monday had been contracted over the Fox time, ·· Eddie Green, another of the same class of conventions that is one with his own individual style, promptly went to work at the DeLuxe Hotel, where he offered his glads to have his burlesque season come to a close, as his wife is quite ill, and under the care of Dr. Louis Wright, a young surgeon whose work has made him virtually the physician to the profession. In the Dressing Room club have so designated him, incidentally Dr. Wright is a recognized authority whose research contributions may be found in responsible medical journals and reference materials. The Room club to take the road, Carl Kenny, the drummer known to fame as "Battle Axe" a medal winner for his ability with the traps, remained behind He too, and the act of Gus Smith has teamed up. The act is being regarded with favor by some big bookers. Joe Simms and New尔斯 Morel presented their new act at the Myrtle in Brooklyn, and the Gus Smith has teamed up, and much discussed Q'Nell play with mixed cast will alternate with "The Emporion Jones," at the Provinctown Playhouse, according to an announcement from the management. Dora Robeson will star both pieces. Dora Robeson man is cast for a part in Schlurm. Paul Robeson has scored again This time in "The Emperor Jones" by Charles Gilpin in which he appeared at the Provincetown Theater. It is nummerous. He press comment upon his work establishes him as a great actor. IN BAMVILLE COMING TO FORD'S Beginning next Monday at Ford's Theatre, Baltimore will be given its only opportunity to witness Sissle and Blake's new musical comedy, "In Bamville," before it's New York premiere. The former stars and composers of the Along (which enjoyed a run of two years on Broadway) will head a cast of 125 principals and choristers. The Four Harmony Kings, Eubie Blake, co-star and pianist genius and Johnny Hudgins are two home town boys, Lottie Gee, Valada Snow, The Pickinmick Band, Famous Symphony Orchestra, and a host of other principals, also the prettiest, fastest, array of choristers that has been lavishly dressed and provided with georgeous scency by B. C. Whitney, the producer. In one scene actual race horses are used. Book is by Noble, Sissle and Lew Peyton, and the catchy lyrics and litter tunes by Sissle and Blake respectively. Among the latter are a Million Little Cupples in the band and Dancing Piecaninies. Julian Mitchell staged the production. The show comes to Baltimore direct from a six-weeks sell out at the Illinois Theatre, Chicago. Critics in every city are unanimous in the opinion that "In Ramville" is the greatest of all colored productions. The management of "Ford's" has set aside the two entire balconies for colored patrons. All seats are reserved, the advance sale began Tuesday. CLOCKFACE TELLS ON MURDERER Should a jury hang a man on the evidence of a clock face, is one of the big moments in the "Aquital," the mystery play coming to the Carry Theatre on Monday, May 28th. Kenneth Winthrop is on trial for the murder of his foster father. His young wife succeeds in getting the evidence which is responsible for his aquital. Later she discovers that he has deceived her.

She says in the film, "the movie is more inborn in most of its characteristics. We were surprised that it could hold interest so effectively. The acting (of the colored artists) was good, the essaying all conspicuously, all conspicuously, and not at all objectionable. It should go over in any colored house, and would make a novelty in a white picture theater.

AT THE PROVINCETOWN PLAY. HOUSE. "ALL GOD'S CHILLUN GOT WINGS." A play in three acts by Eugene Gnell. Directed by James Light. Settings by Cleon Throckmorton. Produced by the Provincetown Players. The Cast Jim Harris _____ Paul Robeson Mrs. Harris _____ Lillian Greene Miss Carr _____ Ella Downey _____ Mary Blair Shorty _____ Charles Ellis 8y A. B. BUDD New York, N.Y., May 21.—The O'Neil play, "All God's Chillun Got Wings," opened here last week and is to alternate with another O'Neill play, "The Emperor Jones." In both plays Paul Robeson is the star. The play deals with the marriage of a white woman, who has been ruined and cast off by a low grade prize fighter, to a respectable colored lad, who is a law student. The first act deals with the events leading up to the intermarriage. Before the play is over the white wife has gone insane. "You dirty nigger," she yells at her husband with knife uplifted to kill him. Eventually she kisses his hand. It is supposed that GNeill meant to imply that the girl went crazy because, as a member of a "superior" race she was wed to a colored man. But I am convinced that Heywood Brown, of the World, was right when he declared that Caucasian superiority suffered a relapse here in that Robeson who sings a song off stage with beauty and richness, is in all the action a much finer actor than any white member on the cast, and that it is his acting alone in the play that gives it any value. "All God's Chillin'" is a hard play to sit thru. To see a big, respectable and cultured character as the slave, slim deprived and silly white woman is a joy of enjoyment calculated to make up a good evening's entertainment. Mago and Client, in the opening spot, sang their way through several numbers, got away with a line of clatter, and went into a revised dancing routine to be awarded bounty bands at the finish. The chorus, in the "deeper" drew bows and applause for some "wine-cracks" by the comedian and the cleverness of his chic assistant. With a repertoire of numbers ranging from grand opera to jazz, the Watts Brothers performed on brass instruments. This act, one of the most recent, received justly awarded applause. All told, an uniform bill, both clean and entertaining. Miss Bolla M. Sutton and her Melody orchestra opened at the fashionable amusement resort on Monday evening. After hearing them one does not hesitate to join the number of the crack Metropolitan bands. Will be held over Sunday. The playing of theseodies is surprisingly harmonious and rhythmic, but the large crowd that greeted them on opening night. All of the well-known instruments used in units of this character are played by an artist, but the onstage role is not sacrilegious. The "shine" to the detriment of teamwork, a fault too common amongst the orchestras of today. The weather breaks have been the most important factor in his solo is just asScene and band as per usual. He is an old showman and a shrewd one at that, and knows that outdoor weather will come this season. A good game fellow who will gain the name of the "miracle man of Wonderland" or we miss a good bet. ```markdown ``` B.C. WHITNEY Producer of the Ed.

ARGONNE Among the pictures to be exhibited at the Argonne Theatre next week are a number of features that should awake enthusiastic favor among the patrons of that house. William Duncan and Edith John. REGENT The length of "Scaramouche"—its reels—and the corresponding abundance of film feet in "The Marriage of the Two Figures" the two features for the wide probbits any attempt at lengthy vaudeville. Hence the little company is called upon to play second hiddle to the silent actors. In truth, it is not the only text attraction. Various of the females "plug hard" some "done to death numbers," succeeding in spots, admirably. The company isn't expected to do much, and at no time does it disappoint. The same cleanliness of dialogue, dances and brightness of wardrobe characterizes the bunch as it did last week. The dancing of heroes by Grae Smith, who joined this week, got home with a safe margin, son will appear, as usual, on Wednesday in "Fast Express."

RESOLVED BY M. E. CONFERENCE E Stinley Jones (North India) offered the following which was adopted: Resolution on Uniform and Fair Recordless of Race. Whereas, the problems that grow out of race are the most acute and potentially the most dangerous of external threats. And whereas, Jesus Christ our Master, stands for the enness of our humanity and the equal worth of every human soul, regardless of race, birth, or color; Whereas, Christianity in its beginning presented to the world "the binding vision of one race, one color and one soul in humanity," and had its origins in the suffering and high challenge we would have today a world of brotherhood instead of a world divided into suspicious and warring races, outstanding obstacle to the coming of the Kingdom of God among the nations of the earth are these national and racial arraagements; Whereas, Christianity the time has come for Jesus to assert its mind in no uncertain way and to bring to the pressure of its spirit in no feeble manner in the solution of this problem. And where, the democracy for which the United States of America stands and the Christianity which we profess both alike demand a uniform rule for all peoples regardless of race. Therefore he is resolved: 1. We should affirm an Christian and untrue the idea that certain races are born to inherit and fixed superiority and rulership, and fixed inferiority and subordination. We stand for the life of open opportunity for all. 2. That, while we note with gratitude and untrue the frequency, we needless record our deep sense of humiliation before God and man that the lynchings of Negroes, under the jurisdiction of our place within our land of democracy and in communities in which there are Christian churches. 3. That "we deplore as unpatriotic and un-Christian more and more in sections, that discriminate against and humiliate all intelligible to naturalization, and that single out certain races in our society in a discriminatory and unfriendly treatment." We urge a Federal law raising the standards for all persons thus admitted and law-riding them, and placing them to all people alike, and granting the privilege of citizenship to all persons thus admitted and law-riding them, who disregard, regardless of their race, color, or nationality.

Morris (North Carolina presented the following resolution which directed the resolution on the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill Whereas in the Episcopal Address of May 4th, 1924, page 31, paragraph on "Observance of Law" the Bishops of the Episcopal Church Whereas in the Disciple, page 33, Article 23, paragraph 23, we affirm our belief in Constitutional Government, and Whereas the Constitution of the United States is opposed to Lynching, and Whereas the Methodist Episcopal Church through the Federal Government opposed whiskey, and Whereas Lynching is destructive to our Democratic form of Government, Whereas, there is now a bill before Congress, known as the Dyer Anti-Deforestation Bill, be it Resolved that we, the representatives of the Methodist Episcopal Church, will be authorized to brief our Board of Bishops to appoint a Special Committee of five members to study the Dyer Anti-Lynchburg Bill and send a definite communication to the president of the Presbyterian Church of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, expressing the attitude of the Methodist Episcopal Church on this bill.

Only three white bishops, it is declared, will be elected. There not being enough work for Bishop Chirl in Liberia, his residence will be fixed in Corington, Ky., where he will have charge of the Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas and Tennessee conferences as well as the conference in Liberia. PRATONAL DELENATES Monday night the conference listened to Bishop J. Arthur Hamlett, of the C. M. E. Church and Rev. Sandy Simmons, of South Carolina, of the Church, make the official addresses. Bishop R. E. presides. COLLEGE METHODIST UNION The conference passed a resolution continuing its commission on the federal education system. Other colored denominations were asked to appoint commissions to work with the M. E. group, to affect a union of the race Methodist churches second, to unite upon the question of the ministry for the ministry; third, to undertake a full and frank discussion of the work in Liberia in order to avoid duplication. Last week the conference voted to avoid duplication in schools, the M. E. Church would re-operate or unite with schools of other denominations or those under independent control. BISHOP JONES SPEAKS Bishop Jones stirred the conference in an address on inter-racial Relations, last week he said: "I can't fair to taint us with it. In states where laws permit me, we never instantiate marriages where it is forbidden. If we had our way we would build a wall so high against intermarriage and not against nor white person break through. "Difficulties with white people?" We do have difficulties, but not in intermarriage. You and your wives have trouble and belong to the same race. Be thankful for the easy-going, kind, and generous Negro. You would paint not the Atlantic if you had to put up with the things he patiently endured. "White supremacy!" "If you mean by white supremacy the supremacy of the Anglo-Saxon ideals, we agree.

He may quit work to go to a revival or to a church, but he doesn't strike. "This way?" "Yes, the Negro steals.

Apply D WOMEN STEADY WORK Packing Co. Point! YOUR New Equal Rights Bill Expected To Give Them Privileges With The Men SCHOOL 12 TURNED OVER A. P. A. Delegation Goes Over Dr. West's Head To School Board The School Board at its regular meeting last Friday afternoon, voted unanimously to place in the hands of the City Solicitor, Philip B. Perlman, the problems arising from the laws' interpretations, new equal pay law for teachers, passed by the last legislature and effective June 1st. Under the new law there is to be no discrimination in salaries of teachers, based on sex. Under the School Board regulations married women are prohibited from teaching in the public schools, but under the new equal pay law it is possible for them to teach, as it is also possible to bar married men from the system. The Board approved Superintendent West's recommendations to permit only applicants, who have had four years' high school and two years' normal school training, to take the examinations for teachers. Herefore, the examination rules carried a clause which states that four years' teaching experience is equivalent to two years' normal training. A. P. A. DELEGATION HEARD Mr. S. S. Booker, president of the Delta Lambda, local chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, with 35 members, headed a committee, Dr. B. M. Rhetta, W. T. Andrews, and Dr. Edw. J. Read, read a statement on the Board, asking permission to continue their Go-To-High School, Go-To-College movement in the public schools. Permission to hold the meetings last week were denied by Dr. West when the request was taken before him by Supervisor Russell. Dr. West said he would have to take R. before he could attend the meeting, a man in Dr. West's hands, the committee went to the Board. STAY 1N SCHOOL "The Go-to-High-School, Go-to-College movement was started to stimulate a new interest in education and thus increase the attendance in grammar schools, high schools and normal schools. We also graduated high school graduates to go to college and generally it aims to reduce the literacy of the Negro group in America. For five years the Fremantle has put on an annual national campaign in fifty centers. . . . During our campaign week set aside for the drive, our members, by permission of Boards of Education in various cities, such as Chicago, Richmond, Kansas City, Philadelphia, Indianapolis and others, have visited all colored graded, high and normal schools and made an appeal to the pupils to stay in this board. This board will consider favorably this request, and thus join with hundreds of other groups in helping to reduce the literacy of our group." Board referred the request to the Committee on Rules and Mr. Isaac Fields, president, assured Mr. Booker he would be informed of their decision. New School, Trussell Oyce School 12, Barre and Light streets, will be opened as a colored school in September. Misses M. Hilda Butler, Blanche M. Griffin, Helen R. Spears and L. Viola Wilson, now in substitute class 2, have been transferred to class 1. EIGHT PLAYGROUNDS PLANNED Mr. Wm. Burdick, of the P.

DOCTOR HERE, WIFE OFF TO S. AMERICA Mrs. Alta Brown Scott Hayes, dramatic soprano, formerly of this city, but now of New York, sailed this week on the S. S. Guilama for South America to fill engagements for a series of concerts, says a dispatch from New York to the AFRO Wednesday. Mrs. Hayes is the wife of De James M. Hayes, physician, 513 N. Glimmore street. De Hayes told Ms. Hayes left the city on January 5th without stating where she was going. Their two children he said are with his mother.

Protet Andrew Jones method from the former editor Madison avenue and Preston street to their new house of worship. At the initial service Sunday morning many affecting scenes were enacted. There was scarcely a dry eye while the exultant members listened rapidly to their fighting leader tell of an offer made a little over two years ago of $65,000, of the revered the preparation of a new building old site, and other compilations and the direction by God to tender his last offer which accepted. The pastors sermon on Sunday morning was based on the first verse of the 60th chapter of Isaiah "Arise and shine, for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon me." The development of this theme admonished the members to cease doubling themselves, for acquisition of the new place of worship, through difficulties, should give all courage. A presence of Prophet Jones among the ministers on the rostrum lent a patriarchal aspect to the devotions, a personal friend of Reverend Greene, who introducing him to the congregation, stood sponsor for the truth of the former's prognostications. The prophet is an active man of 70, with whitened hair and beard. He has foretold the Baltimore fire of 1904, the Democratic Unionist town hall, and the Civil War. He will conduct a series of meetings for the Metropolitan members. At 3 p.m. a platform meeting was held, at which many clerical and other speakers made short addresses. B. Y. P.

Henson, "Negro Poetry," by Jas. Weldon Johnson, and "Negro Poets and Their Poems," by Robert G. Kerlin. Still another book that is very interesting is "The Encyclopedia of the Colored Race," to be found in the reading room of the library. A brief sketch of Dunbar's life will be found in Chambers' International Encyclopedia, also in the reading room. Other volumes on the shelves which were handed down by police attendants who are anxious to cooperate with the school children in looking up material on the poet's life are: Short Stories, Novels and Other Works of Paul Laurence Dunbar.

MADISON 10241 FORREST 8708-J DEMOCRATS CHANGE MEETING PLACE Convention Scheduled For City Is Transferred To New York For June 19 BOSSES WERE OPPOSED Mahon and Kelley Declared Not In Favor Of Meeting In This City Following several conferences with local Democratic leaders, the National Convention of Colored Democrats called to meet here May 27th, has been transferred to New York City and the date set for June 19th. This was the announcement sent out this week by Oscar H. Waters, of New York, chairman of the National Democratic Committee. Action of leaders in transferring the convention from Baltimore to New York, did not come as a surprise to local politicians, who declare that neither of the Democratic bosses, Kelley or Mahon, was very enthusiastic over the move. The bosses, it is said, want a few colored voters in the Democratic ranks but not many. A large number, they aver, would make it necessary to appoint some of them to an office, and this is contrary to local Democratic procedure over a long period. Another angle is that the Teacoo as candidate for president, like Al. Smith, wants all the colored votes he can get. The second reason for the transfer of the convention, is declared, is the fact that New York has more to offer in the way of colored men in office. New Yorkers point out that Tammy's pledge to put a colored man in every department of the city's government has been fulfilled and that a convention called to meet in a big city where there are hundreds of colored Democrats in office would be far more impressive upon the delegates than a similar convention held in Baltimore where no colored Democrats have been given appointive positions.

In the Negro, however, the whole situation is far more educational process. It is bringing freedom and it is turning the tide from party construction. Every day there arises a new smoke to darken the political skies. It is hard for even the wisest of those in the know to prophecy with certainty just what may happen next. November. President Coolidge is still the outstanding candidate in the Republican party, but is undoubtedly doing some things with his veto power fraught with much danger to vote getting. His blocking the insult to Japan was courageous, but his veto of the soldier bonus might react with terrific effect in as much as he has not proposed some positive substitute. On the Democratic side, while Smith is still a favorite hope, William G. McAdoo, with considerable klan support, has the largest number of delegates pledged. When the klan first became a feature in politics it was thought that the Republican party would become its unyielding foe. But the klan bobbed up in Indiana, Illinois, New Jersey and Ohio, four States that help more than any other to decide the election, and are giving national Republican leaders some sleepless nights. To the Negro, however, the whole situation is proving a wonderful educational process. It is bringing a new sense of freedom and it is turning the tide from party slavery to party construction. THE K. K. K. IN INDIANA The recent revelation of the complete domin- anican Party in Indiana by the Ku Klux Klan some thinking on the part of colored vot- ion is not immediately followed by an un- nication by the national leaders it will cause a reaction at the polls next November. The Indiana situation is as clear cut as tha- tence in Texas. The only difference is that in Texas where the fires of race and race are kept fanned to white heat most of the Indiana it was not expected that the part- Lincoln would ally itself so openly with the la- ten. In the credit of a large number of Negro- state, they refused to follow the Republican- alms of the invisible empire. So far as Ne- ccessed there can be no compromise on one. They will stand for no party in any se- ciliation. A Republican klansman and a D- lenk look the same to them. A Negro- and several Negro Republicans defeated the story of Negro determination there, and ought consider this solemn warning. The recent revelation of the complete dominance of the Republican Party in Indiana by the Ku Klux Klan will cause some thinking on the part of colored voters. If this revelation is not immediately followed by an unmistakable repudiation by the national leaders it will cause some effective action at the polls next November. The Indiana situation is as clear cut as that of Klan dominance in Texas. The only difference is that it was no surprise in Texas where the fires of race and religious bigotry are kept fanned to white heat most of the time, while in Indiana it was not expected that the party of Abraham Lincoln would ally itself so openly with the law-defying klansman. To the credit of a large number of Negro voters in that State, they refused to follow the Republican party into the realms of the invisible empire. So far as Negro voters are concerned there can be no compromise on the Klan issue. They will stand for no party in any section with klan affiliation. A Republican klansman and a Democratic klansman look the same to them. A Negro Democrat winning and several Negro Republicans defeated in Indiana tells the story of Negro determination there, and national leaders ought consider this solemn warning.

It may be true that the legal machinery should for men and women to tag innocent bema of bastardy by preventing much of together out of wedlock.

The matter cannot be safely brushed aside if a social status and highly developed homes, for boy and girl is wrapped up in the live girl IN OTHER FAMILIES. With a school system where high and low, good single together in daily contact, the interest born into this world becomes vital alike and father. The increasing problem of illegitimacy and the unmarried mother as shown in a news story in another section of this paper is one that should receive the serious attention of the churches. Second only to that of the State is the obligation of the church to keep intact the family unit as it relates to child life. It may be true that the legal machinery should make it harder for men and women to tag innocent babies with the stigma of bastardy by preventing much of the open living together out of wedlock. But there are certain phases of the problem that must be considered as an internal social one. Here the responsibility of the church commences. An effort is being made to establish a home for unmarried mothers. This movement should be encouraged. In addition a study and consideration of the matter should be undertaken with the object of prevention. The matter cannot be safely brushed aside by parents of regular status and highly developed homes, for the fate of every boy and girl is wrapped up in the lives of some boy or girl IN OTHER FAMILIES. With a democratic public school system where high and low, good and bad must mingle together in daily contact, the interest in every child born into this world becomes vital alike to every mother and father.

Even religion bows to racial discrimination and joins the ranks of those who would deal with this question in the good old Southern way. Leading churchmen declare that even colored followers of the meek and lowly Nazarine must be handled differently south of the Mason and Dixon Line. This determined announcement grew out of an effort to unite the interests of the Northern, the National and the Southern Baptists wings of the denomination as proposed by the governor and other leading churchmen of North Carolina. But the Convention rejected the proposed conference on the ground that the South was determined to deal with its own religio-Negro problem. Thus the Southern Baptists are not yet ready to let the spirit of their Christ enter practically into their human relations. Or is it that fear to face a public sentiment that is still dominated by short sighted politicians to whom the collection plates must be passed? Let us hope that the Baptists, in whose denomination a majority of the race in the South claim membership, will yet join the spirit that is working for genuine Christian fellowship and unity in this country.

I heard the bluebirds warble, I saw the sparrows singing; The whistling of mocking bird, When I was on the farm.

JACKSON New Windsor, Md. Magistrate Johannsen corrects two unintentional errors in news articles of last weeks. Also. To the Editor: In your issue of today there are two articles, the substance of which is incorrect. First article, "Found White Miss In His Room." "At the hearing Monday afternoon on finding the woman to be white, Magistrate Johnson (Johannsen), however, changed the word of the insignation which was held." The truth of the matter is this. The white woman and colored man were brought before me, charged with leading dissolutions of the Union. Upon learning the facts, I ordered the charge to be chanced in accordance with the law. The dissolute and disorderly course of life charges was the purpose of the Prostitution Act, of 1920. The charge was changed for that reason and not because "Magistrate about to impose fine until he finds girl is white." The new charge was based on the burden "Magistrate Scores Common Law." In the second paragraph reading. " * * * * had caused him to fine 406 colored men and women $1.00 and costs each after a wholesale raid in the Western District." The truth is that with the exception of two men, all the men and women taken in this raid forfeited their rights to each. Only two men stood trial and were fined $1.00 and costs each. In conclusion, I want to say that I believe these errors to be unintentional, but they should be avoided in PAUL JOHANSSEN. Northwestern District THE MENACE OF THE "COMMON LAW MEL JONES IN MISS SMITH THROB B. WINSON "One of the greatest sources of crime among colored people in Baltimore City is the large number of unmarried men and women living together as man and wife."—Magistrate Johansen, Northwest, en police District. Professor Fudge The Gambling Instinct The instinct to gamble seems to be strong within the human race. There can always be found people people to take a chance. This has been proven by the experience of the brave made attempts in the city of Baltimore to collect the fifty and the dollar. By blaming it on chance is the only way I can account for the persistent efforts of people to know the city is a veritable graveyard in so far as anything above the ordinary is concerned, yet they persist in trying to make some headway. A glance at the city's history has been found. They like statistics for it. Picking up Coleman's Directory they find we have such and such a number of lawyers, such and such a number of lawyers. They then come to the conclusion the city is ripe for exploitation along dramatic lines. The expectant promoters are correct in so far as statistics are correct in so far as the trouble themselves to analyze the sum total of their computation. Hidden Ignorance Should they go to the trouble of analyzing the Baltimore public they would find out that no city its size could compete with Baltimore in hidden ignorance of the school system, or interested in only one thing, the pay envelope. Any appreciation of art or literature on their part is something that never existed. The Medical Men in this city are the most part of a low order, some hardly have ordinary intelligence. The Lawyers are 50 percent shysters. The Ministers are 50 percent bogus. The wives of these men put up a good front speaking from a fashion standpoint, but intellectually they are at it. So, who must come out on these dramatic occasions. Those you would expect to find there are at home or somewhere else running their mouth and those you would expect not to be there are present. On Monday, May the 12th, at the Douglass Theatre, the unused, was presented "The Exile" by Mr. J. should have said Attorney Linwood Koger. "The Exile" is an Italian Classical Drama by Edward Christopher Williams, and was and is yet I suppose, under the direction of the late George Director of Dramatic Art and Public Speaking at Howard University. Too much cannot be said in commendation of the Howard Players. From beginning to end the actors were remarkable, the Vassar Jester, more remarkable than all the rest. No more could have been expected but the actors been seasoned professionals and it was indeed a pleasant surprise to see them. But what surprised me most was to know the play was written by a modest colored gentleman, who deserves more credit for his contribution by far, than that of those that house" When I think of all the "humming" four Fushrers we have in this city who are supposed to appreciate everything out of the ordinary and then think of the vacant seats, I almost agree with "Mr. Charlie" when he says they ought to be "busting suds." Foot Wiping But, just a minute . During one of the intermissions, Ex-Lieutenant Koger came before the curtain to make some apposite noise. When he had done this he introduced Mr. Gregory; the Director of Dramatic Art and Public Speaking at Howard University. He also introduced Mr. William. He had done this with the students will only take up Lieutenants Koger and Gregory. Both gentlemen made speeches. Both gentlemen have been officers in the United States Army, and one of them has known how to stand at attention when talking to an audience. But did they? I should say not. Lieutenant Koger in all his unpressed apparel harrenged against the wall against Mr. E. C. Brown's painted wall and left his footprint there upon. Possibly Mr. Gregory did this to let us all know he is the Director of Dramatic Art and Public Speech for future when I hear a Howard Speak for or a Howard Player I will not make some of my identifications until he wipes his foot on the wall and sticks his hands in his pockets. On McCulloh St. You got to hand it to McCulloh Street, it has everything within its continues needed for the public except soap: On McCulloh Street, we have a Jewish Synagogue, another Jewish Synagogue recently converted into a Baptist Tabernacle, two blocks of lawdy houses, with a few more sprinkled in the virtuous blocks. The Knights of Pythics, of some kind of Hemispheres and the Knights of the Islands of the Seas, bootleggers for each island, the Saint Lukes, the Old Fellows, Doctors, Mid-wives, Lawyers, Flatfoot Hustlers, joints and cathedrals. It is like the United States, in that it can close its doors and live without the rest of the world. Bishop Gaines But we have more yet. We: have a new Bishop which brings the total number of priests to 100. Rev Abraham Lincoln Gaines, last week's APFO said, "has been elevated to the Bench." Excuse me for this error but I always thought we was for Jesus and the Bishops sat on their episcopal dignity. However, as that may be, the fact still remains we have now, three Bishops, and four of them, we have Bishop John Hurst of the A. M. E. Church, and latest we have Bishop A. L. Gaines, of the A. M. E. Church, and all the time or for some time, we have had Bishop Mohr, or of the only Church, Bishop Mohr, or the only Church, Bishop Mohr, on the same street with him. However, we don't expect to have three Bishops very long on McCullough street, because the street will many that are too long for time before people will be addressing their envelopes thusly; BISHOP A.

KELLY MILLER SAYS The Negro is the greatest beneficiary from prohibition. His race suffered most from the Demon Rum. The strong race absorbs vice, the weaker race is the victim. In one city block a rum shop got half the earnings of the inhabitants. The black bootleger is a moral menace. Our strongest plea for the enforcement of the 14th Amednment is our attitude towards the 18th. THE EIGHTEENTH AMENDMENT Nicholas Murray Butler has starled the nation into thinking. The too candid president of Columbia University holdly tells the American people that they must repeal the Eighteenth Amendment which was inserted in Congress as our greatest moral achievement. I venture to assert that Dr. Butler has wholly mistaken the temper of the American people. If he believes that the Constitution was inserted in Congress, We be that nation that looks back after once having taken hold of the plow of righteousness. The Amendment will be upheld in principle although it may be violated in practice. If we should proceed to repeal the Eighteenth Amendment, we will fully enforced, the Eighteenth would not be the only constitutional amendment to be rescinded. The Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments are overridden and violated in certain provisions with all but in unity. And yet these amendments, though partially, ignored are yet the bulwark of the Negro's political strength and civil rights. If these amendments were repealed the race would rebound, which it was declared to have at the time of the Drod Scott Decision. Let no one make the mistake that the amendments are a flat failure because they are not enforced to the full measure of one hundred percent in opposition to repeal the Fifteenth Amendment was added as rider to an appropriation bill. Every senator from the South voted in favor of the repeal; for they well knew that the Negro then would be wholly without political status. The fact is, no law is apt to be rigidly enforced. The Ten Commandments have been violated every hour since they were thundered out of the courtroom; and yet the Declawage still furnishes the moral guidance of mankind. Who would advocate their repeal because they are not wholly obeyed. LAWBREAKERS The Eighteenth Amendment has been of incalculable advantage to the cause of temperance and sobriety. The old rum sucked inward, and the new document the law. The bootleggers and conscienced profit- peers will get around any status that legislative skill can devise. Theunning law breaker will break any law that the shrewdest legislator has enacted. The real amendment of the Eighteenth Amendment will be seen after the lapse of half a generation when the old amendment was passed and their accursed thirst with them. Let us grant for sake of argument that many concomitant evils are following in the wake of the Eighteenth Amendment, so serious stuff is indicting damage beyond the genuine legalized article. Some are driven to the drug habit who might otherwise have found themselves in sanctioned beverages. Yet after making every possible concession there remains the tremendous moral gain that temptation has been received from those who have not developed the deprived appetite. In course of a few decades we shall have a new generation who have never fallen under the debauchery of the liquor trade, and hopefully to have a temperate nation which will join in exciting the glories of the Eighteenth Amendment. But from a moral point of view this amendment should be immediately enforced regardless of consequence. Its motion is implicit to enforce a righteous law stands self-condemnation in their own estimation and self-stabilized in the eyes of the world. We may wink at the neglect of a harmful law and allow it to lappe into disuse; but to help a provision that is vital to the moral life of the people. Sinister silence concerning the violation of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments has already undermined the moral fabric of our society, to help to defile a constitution which he can override with impunity. There can be no reverence for a brittle law. If one set of the people can override one section of the constitution, prejudices and passions, why not another portion of the people ignore other provisions for similar, if different reasons? What portion of the sacred document can remain free from prejudice and passions on this theory of things? There are two wide apart theories as to constitutional changes. Thomas Jefferson on the one hand, advocated frequent revisions of the constitution, and James Madison, above all of the contemporaneous feelings, and volition of the people. On the other hand, the conservative theory maintains that the fundamental law should contain only those elemental provisions that are little subject to change in passing passion or in public interests. We cannot be revere a document that is constantly revising Tinkering with the Constitution. LAWBREAKERS THOMAS JEFFERSON renders it too easily modifiable by every passion whim of popular fancy or gust of temporary emotion. The Constitution need not be desirable reform or valuable virtue. Even the Decalogue does not exhaust the entire catalogue of moral maxims. The late Senator Blair once said to the writer that it is a dangerous thing to get the American people into the habit of rewiring the constitution. For once started, there is no telling where the end would be. It is even more dangerous to start with the most provisional provisions because difficulty is engendered in their enforcement. A repeal of the eighteenth Amendment would doubtless be followed by a propriganda for the reelection of the nineteenth Amendment. Neither of these additions express the contemporary feeling and volition of the American people, will sound, as the high water mark of the American conscience when worked up to the fever heat of enthusiasm for humanity, will sound, as the high water mark of the motion at its best. Although the practice of the people has fallen far below the level of this high standard, they will not allow any one to lay violent hand upon the constitution of this ideal institution into organic law. ARBROACHING In the approaching campaign, I trust that the Republican party will come out squarer for the full enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment. I trust that the Democratic party, dominated as it is by the northern wing in the great industrial cities and centers will not deem it prudent or practical to do so. This would give some sharp intelligible division between the two parties, and would not constitute national issues of a political and economic character there is no sharply discernable differentiation between the two great rivals. There is absolutely no preference of policies so far as the Negro is concerned. He learns that the only because it is composed mainly of northern supporters who historically have been more friendly and favorable, to his political and civil privileges. PROHIBITION ONLY ISSUE The strongest appeal that the Grand Old Party could make for the continued allegiance of its ancient black allies would be a straight out plank on prohibition (almost) interest in the war, by the outcome of the approaching election. He is the greatest beneficiary of prohibition. His race suffered most from the demon of rum. This damnable grim sham is the cause of the earrings of the inhabitants. The white ramseller, fattened and buttened out of their bibulous weakness. The rapid increase in the ownership home part of the ramseller in the past few years is attributable largely to prohibition. The weaker race is always the greater victim of evil habits. The strong man or the strong race can be off, but the weaker vessel is always the easier victim. The Negro bootlegger is a moral menace to his race. The temporary profit is but a baggage as compared with the lasting moral debt. The Negro's only hope in this nation is the integrity of the law, its appeal is to the conscience and its enforcement the Constitution in its original and amended form. We can have no other security then this. We have on our side the so-called Constitution, when we stand for righteous law rightfully enforced. Our strongest plan for the enforcement of the Constitution means rests upon our attitude towards the Eighteenth Amendment. The one outstanding constructive advantage which the race may hope to gain from the approaching enforcement of the Constitution is declaration upon the rigid enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment with unmistakable moral imposition that the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments are no less sacred and in violable.

One of her former masters. This was necessary to the carrying out of her mission, and she gave a bodily assumption of age. To reinforce this, she bought some live chickens, suspended them by the bows from a cord and proceeded along the road, where she met the corner she saw coming toward her, her old master, and lest he might see through the fence, she took her car for flight, she loosed the cord that held the fells and amid the general turmil as she gave chase which led over a fence—she escaped. 114.

J.—Thousands of people passed the flower bedbedier of Mrs. Martha V. Martin, wife of the late Dr. Robert Martin, M. E. Church, whose body was interred Saturday in the family plot at Ponsament, N. J. and all day Friday the body was viewed by a continuous line of people, that demonstrated the fact that Mrs. Martin was one of the most beloved characters at the shore. The body were held at the church on Friday evening and so great was the crowd that uniformed policemen had to be stationed at the door.

About a month ago the congregation met not asked the pastor for his resignation "for the good of Shibih," but Scott announced his intention of fighting for the members did not wish his resignation. The meeting and consequent voting on Monday night however, left no doubt in the mind of the ex-pastor that the church did want him to resign. The pastor issued a statement in the daily papers instituting that he had been unfairly treated by his "enemies" and declared that he would build a church in Ames, Iowa, and a pastor of Shibih. It is understood that the coster was unanimous on the part of the members of Shibih. Form National Colored Women's Uni Here.

Every one has heard the story of George Washington and his little hatchet, and the damage he did to his father's pet cherry tree. It has been assumed by some historians that the tree was just 4 inches in diameter, where little George started to chop. On his first stroke he could penetrate 1 inch; but as the cutting became more difficult on each stroke that was made further in the each succeeding stroke he would cut just less than the less deep than the stroke preceding. Thus the first stroke would cut 1 inch, on second seven-eighths of an inch, and the third six-eighths. In how many strokes did George砍 down your house? Prize for best and nearest answer.

TO KEEP YOU GUESSING Read three riddles aloud to the family, withholding the answer, and see how many can guess them. Why is an automobile like a woman? Because a man has to get a car to go to work. Why is the bridegroom more expensive than the bride? Because they always give the bridegroom away and take the money. Why is getting married like sticking your head into a bee hive? You get strong. What would you call a man that would hug an old maid? A lemon smoker. Why do girls wear corsets? Just to show the boys how much squeezed they are. When Adam asked Eve for a kiss, what did she say? I don't care. Why is a young society girl like the leaves on a tree? Because they come out with the season. Why is a pretty girl like a warrior wheel? Because she is surrounded by followers. What is the difference between the side-walk and a street car? Seven cents. By WILTER CHEATMAN. Sparrows Point, Md. Can You Rhyme-a-Line? A rhyme-a-line is a jingle of two lines.

Heart Problems Answered by Annie Honey Pickles—The greatest compliment a man can pay a woman is to ask her best gift of his life. And the best test of his love is the fact that he wants you to be beside him always then life. What more can you ask? Be happy in his love and in yours. In Love—The only thing for you to do is to forget your intimity. Just trust it away somewhere, forget it and tell the lady of your love. What woman in the world is there who doesn't wait and wish for the man she loves to tell her of his love? Gloomy L.—Why not take this problem to your parents and ask them to investigate and see whether the young man is telling the truth. This should be done, of course, without his knowledge. If you discover that he is not engaged with your girl's declarations, if he has lied, he is certainly unworthy of your friendship and his name's love. Discourage Kissing, Peggy Dear Aunie Roney-I am an orphan, 22 years old, with no of my own to turn to for a job. I have been going with a young girl for several months, and although he has never told me he loves me, he has kissed me many times. Is this sufficient reason for me to believe he loves me? He is no longer young, but has arrived at years of discretion. Do you think I am justified in believing that he loves me as I think PEGGY I am afraid not, my dear. There should be no kisses until an engagement exists between you. If he is in love with you, he should not be afraid nor ashamed to tell you so and to ask you to become his wife.

PRIZE WINNER When Bernice, age five years, was through eating her breakfast, she said, "I wonder why our hens don't lay." "Perhaps we don't feed them properly," said her mother, "I hadn't thought of that," said Bernice. "I'll go this afternoon and buy them some ergot." One day my little nephew, age four, was playing with the cat. He kept pulling the cat's tail. I called to him, "James, what makes you pull the cat's tail? How would you like for some one to pull your tail?" Looking on earnestly in my face he replied, "Mine's not long enough." Easter Sunday while it was raining, my little sister suddenly stopped playing and listened to the thunder She asked, "Is it the Fourth of July up in Heaven?" CHARLES WESLEY CEPHAS, 1111 N.

She has a very large home, and also a large tract of land. She does not have much garden as her family is small. She told me I could have a garden or any thing I wanted. So I decided to make a garden. I took the hard plow and prepared the hedge. I asked my sister for some small onions which she had from the last season. She gave me all of them, which were about one-half gallon. I planted every one, and in four days, so they were in four days. I hood them, watered them when the weather was dry. They grew fast. Every one who saw them were surprised, and I am sure you would have been. You had some onions grew to the tops off and the onions grew more faster. In about four weeks I had about one-fourth a dozen of nice onions. I pulled two large sacks full, and cut the tops off and took 14 onions and tied them in a bag. I took eight neighbors for eight cents per bunch. I made 35.68 the first time and the second time I made -10.00. The rest of the onions I sent to market and got $10.00 for them. I had $25.88 and did not owe any one, was not so small, and asked a farmer who lives near us for some turnip seeds. He gave me a small glass full. I planted them one rainy day. They soon came up and grew very fast. They soon were big enough to sell. I did not sell them like I said the onions. I plowed them into a store and asked if they wanted any. They said they would buy all I had. I had nine bushel, and received 75 cents per bushel. That was $6.75 for the turnips, and the man said they were so nice he would give me one dollar himself next year. That made $7.75 for the turnips, and $25.68 for the onions, making $23.43 for me to take home. And I did not owe my one, but I gave my sister $2.00 for the trouble I was to her and for her ground for my girlfriend. She would not have gave it to my little four-year-old three for her bank. I took the rest which was $28.43 home and had enough to pay for my music lessons for quite a little time. DOROTHY L. HARDY Brunswick, Md.

Fry slightly a thick slice of ham, place it in a baking hish and cover it thickly with slices of raw potatoes and the whole with milk and bread crumbs or rolled crackers. Season it to taste and serve with cold shaw or a cabbage salad. Spring Salad Every one in the family will like this salad. Use 1 small head of cabbage and the same amount of lettuce; 6 hardboiled eggs and a little tender onion. Chop these together then stir in in the applesauce. This is also fine for sandwiches, but I prefer to leave out onion and chop up cold baked ham. Butter thin slices of bread and spread the salad on just thick enough to hold them together. Wrap them in paper, the sandwiches will keep fresh. WRS. L. M. TAYLOR Pieplant and Prunes This is as good as a spring tonic. Sock prunes over night and the next day on back of range.

MISS MARGARET E. JOHNSON. Mackenzie, Wd. Advice to Brides A bride's toilet should be a private affair. Cold cream is a necessity for the skin, but it can be applied during the day while one is busy with other things or taking a brief beauty nap. Smooth straight hair is pretty to look but hair irons are not. It is essential that hair be straightened, in this manner, then it should be done when the men are away from the bathroom. Brides especially, but other girls as well, should consider their toil let carefully and eliminate from it all suggestion of ugliness. It can be done with a little ingenuity. As I say, cold cream can be applied during the day in a quiet hour for just before getting the bathhut for a show. That will give it 10 minutes to remain, and our "bath bag," which carry with you, contains some cotton, you can wipe off the remaining cold cream gently but thoroughly and apply a little powder just before leaving the bathroom. Make one rule on entering married life. Don't let your husband see all the details of your toilet. Take care of skin, eyebrows, hair, teeth, when you wear a selfie phone. Take care of your husband see any of these operations in process except the becoming one of brushing the hair. Making French Mustard The best French mustard may be bade by adding to each scant table-spoonful of mustard 1 teaspoon syrup and 1 teaspoon of melted butter. Vinegar Removes Paint Vinegar will remove paint from a paint brush. Let the brush slimmer in the vinegar a few minutes, then wash it in strong soapsuds.

POOR LI'L CAROLIN By Ben Goodlow That Carolin's Essex, in a desperate effort to win back the husband who has deserted her after discovering her relations with another man, has brought her husband and the other man face to face and is now engaged in telling her story, one that leads back to childhood, early loves, and dissillusion. "To begin my story properly," she said, looking up at her husband, who stood in the center of the floor, straight and tall and grand, like a giant carved from bronze, his graven face lay in its expression, "I must hark back to Bradshaw. Bradshaw is typical of the South. Bradshaw is a little cotton town in the bowels of the house. of our most. It is a mean, miserable little hole, stinging with the sour rot of prejudice.

Floyd was two or three years my senior, and I was my own age. Living so close together, it was but reasonable for us to associate. While we were children we played together daily. We were very chlamish. We would seldom play with the other children. Father was a much better provider than my sister, and that they would welcome a change of diet. My parents did not brown upon these little parties while we were children. Neither did my father concern himself with my friendship for them before I married them. I was about Also Bradshaw boasted of what every little Southern town boasts of—a Niggertown. I will not describe Niggertown to you. I leave that to your imagination. It was here I lived with my people, the Brashers. The Darrons lived here, also. The Brashers—my people—were what might be termed "the Darrons." They looked upon as brush. The different between my father and old Uncle Ed Darron was the difference that white people place on the value of a Negro's service to the community. My father—James Brasher—was employed as a sort of major domo by the wealthiest white resident of our town. This position carried with it a sort of respectability. If you understand the psychology of the South you will know what I am. My father was employed as a Negro because he had the sanction and backing of a very wealthy white man. He was called thrifty. White people held him up as an example for other colored men to pattern after. They regarded him as a sort of Moses. "But my father was woefully narrow-minded. Also, he was crassly intolerant. Perhaps the word bigot could describe him. He was a superior to his fellowmen. He fancied that he was favored of the gods. These fancies caused him to play the snob on many occasions. He associated with his own people as little as possible. When he did he act as if he were conferring with a superior and demand what if mean, do you not? He thought that he was bigger than his race. "Naturally, of course, he despielled Uncle Ed Darrow. Uncle Ed was lazy, illiterate, and careless when he could not find some reasonable excuse to stall out of them. He spent a great part of his time on the river fishing. In the proper seasons he would round up his dogs and hunt coons and 'possums. Father declared that he was the only citizen. He did not stop to reason that Uncle Ed was the product of a social system that had its beginning in Jamestown in 1620. All that he cared to know was that Uncle Ed was a trifling neer-do-well with no thoughts about friends and all that Bradley would prosper mightily without his presence. "What made matters worse, Uncle Ed lived next door to us. Twenty feet did not separate his little shack from our house. We drew water from the same well and used the same clothes-lines. Father rilled at the fence that caused this to be and tried to buy Uncle Ed out many times, but Darrow would not sell. Somehow, he knew that my father hated him and he wanted to FRIDAY, MAY 23 CAROLIN Goodlow Famous Writers Guild, Chicago.) HAVE MISSED desperate effort to win back the latter discovering her relations her husband and the other man in telling her story, one that yes, and dissillusion. vex him. He wasn't vicious and mean in this, but merely mischievous, like a child. Father, however, thought that it was pure devilry on Uncle Ed's part and his hatred waxed the stronger. Southern hatreds touch the shores of unreason, you know, and that is the sort of hatred James Brasher entertained for Edward Darrow and all of his house. Now the Darrow family was a large one, but we are only concerned with Maise and Floyd. Floyd was two or three years my senior, while his sister, Maise, was about my own age. Living so close together, it was but reasonable for us to associate. While we were children we played together daily. We were very cleanish. We would play with the other children. Father was a much better provider than Uncle Ed, and I figured that they would welcome a change of diet. My parents did not frown upon these little parties while we were children. Neither did my father concern himself with my friendship for them before I die. I grate only to send "I now was the Carolin that did not quire with these not him." "He then, scandal did not mourn me, father stories could to an array of his given spise his given he wandered stories of the Floyd stories of the Maise." replete with dangers. I was about 14 before I was told that I must sever my connections with the Darrows. I wanted an explanation, but all received was a tirade. But I did not not be jealous of their neighbours to Malkin and Floyd. "Now in Bradshaw they maintain a makeshift school for colored children, poorly equipped, poorly managed and richly neglected. It grows, and the lords of education in that section did not deem it necessary to give us a high school. After you finished the 7th grade your education was complete so far as Bradshaw was concerned. If you were not satisfied with the crumbs you picked up in the grammar grades, and were hungering for more education, and wanted for you to go to a larger city. These conditions gave my father the opportunity to destroy the little clannish friendship that had sprung up between me and the Darrow children. So soon as I finished the local school, I was shipped to a distant metropolis to enter the high school. I was then chatting young people, and received the flattering attentions of handsome, well-dressed young men who knew how to be pleasant and sociable, but their charm of manner did not effect me greatly. My first summer vacation I was not permitted to attend Bradshaw the next summer I did, supposed created something of a sensation, I brought many of the city ways with me, and dressed so differently from the other girls and had so much poise and all, that I was the center of attraction. The young people of Bradshaw you know, soldon leave home to attend school, and the lords of education there I was a sort of heroine. "Everybody thought that I would straightway snub Floyd and Muise. I was looked upon as an educated young lady. I had polish and poise. Therefore, it was proper for me to look higher than a lout like Floyd. But somehow I could not shunt him aside on those grounds. I hated my friends for even intimating me with a lout so long. He had been like a brother to me. It was impossible for me to snub him merely because my friends considered him below my social level. "My father was plainly disgusted but he did not make a demonstration of any sort. He just remained silent—fearfully silent. Well, at the end of that summer vacation I returned to school. On the day I left I said goodbye to Floyd and snubed him. I never be a change in my attitude toward him.

"I was in my seventh year now and my friends said that I was the prettiest girl in the village. Coupled with my alleged beauty I had the semblance of an education, not to mention the position I requires from college associating with my brethren folk. But with all these things to my advantage, I did not humiliate Floyd by snubbing him. "He was in his twenty-first year, then, you know, and so far as physical prowess went, he was a splendid man. In fact, I looked upon him as a splendid man from every angle. In the sight of others he was not splendid, but their opinions were prejudiced. He was among them my own friends. I found among them my own faith, and these enemies spread stories about him wherever they could do so safely, as they feared to antagonize him in the open where he could fight them. These stories had to do with his lust for strong drink, his love for cards and dice, his savage impulse to fight on the least provocation, his wholesome disregard for the feelings of those whom he had a right to despise and hold in his hands, and protecting his God-given rights. They also said that he was vicious and mean and cruel and bestial. Again they accused him of laziness. He would not work long at a time. He was unruly. He was uncontrollable. He was dangerous. Of course these were stories. You do not have to prove stories in Bradshaw if the theme of them centers on a man like Floyd. All you have to do is to invent them. The more malicious the story the quicker it will bloom. You have to tell the main reason for telling them that they might be believed by certain people. "But they did not turn me against Floyd. These stories made me sympathize with him all the more. He was rough and uncoupth and unlettered. I admit; but there was a rugged honesty about him that appears to women. I always felt safe and secure in his presence. He was so big and strong and virile and unafraid. He had the courage to stand on his own. And that is why I admire him so—no, it wasn't admiration—it was love. That year I threw discretion to the winds, mocked the opinions of my friends. (To be continued next week) What Makes a Good Woman A woman may have many virtues and yet not be able to make those around her happy. She must have two qualities that take more self-control to possess than it takes to learn to cook, sew, or do many of the household tasks that so many wives (and girls) do. First, she must have a pleasant disposition. And second, she must have a sense of humor. She must be able to close her eyes to many things and smile instead ofug. She must be able to turn some of the many annoying things into laughter and see the joke in what might otherwise be a joke. And some things that others, small and big, are personalities and subject to their peculiarities. Therefore, being pleasant to live with and being able to produce smiles with her humor, she cannot fail to make those around her happy.

MANY BABIES BORN OUT OF WEDLOCK Women Plan To Ask State And City Aid In Handling Of Serious Problem (Continued from page 16) with that of nearby large cities. In Washington, where one-third of the population is colored, 19.5 percent of the births were illegitimate in 1918. In Philadelphia, where the property value the percentage was 15.4. In the same year here in Baltimore the percentage was 20.6. FLAMES LAWY Almost a million of the abusive agencies dealing with social contact undoubtedly has something to do with Baltimore's high liquency rate, many see in the laxity of law dealing with promiscuous living of unmarried people together under what is generally termed the "criminal abuse" for much of it. Even the against the law the criminal cases seem helpless in dealing with cases of this kind. Recently a member of the Supreme Bench of Baltimore, commented on the inability of the law to deal with this problem because that was beyond their control and would have to be handled in some other way other than making arrests. It is evident that children born in any home of irregular social relations, start out in life with a handicap. But especially to those children of young unmarried mothers, the problem becomes acute. At present the Federal Criticism Home and other agencies caring for babies of unmarried mothers, do not receive colored unmarried mothers. A large number of the children coming into the Juvenile Court are found to be the Flemish Criticism Home for in individual homes, but the lack of systematic family contact generally shows up sometime in early life. Recently a group of interested women have begun a movement to establish a school for children in the city. It is believed that the State and City would give the same aid to such an institution as they are now giving to similar white institutions. They are planning to carry this campaign to the ministers of the city. KNOXIT PROPHYLACTIC MAGE BLDG.. KANSBAS CITY, MO.

The Pennsylvania college honored West by electing him to the captainship of the track team, the big Eastern colleges, the history of big Eastern colleges. Harvard turned Gourdon down for the same home, just like it turned A. L. Jackson down for the college's best hostler, Matthew. Lewis, Cable and the whole roster of Harvard's brilliant athletes were never made captain of the team. Jefferson shines, Gourdon, of Harvard, may be a better athlete than Charley West, of Washington and Jefferson, but the world must take its bit off to the Pennsylvania college, long enough to elect a great athlete captain of its track team, and break off athletic relations with all cracker schools of the South who do not want to play against a col EUBIE BLAKE WAS EAST BALTIMORE'S 'PIANNER' PLAYER Star Of "In Bamville" Here Next Week Played His First Engagement At Daly's (Continued from page 16) of that engagement: one was the mastery playing of Blake, and the perspiration that excluded from every pose in his forehead while in hair he bowed on the them on those and May days. Barney Alexander was valet to Mr. Blake; Mr. Reid also had an attendant. Euble was attired in a nifty full dress suit with patent leather shoes and all other appurtenances that wouldn't have been on the them on a Paderneck or Joseph Hoffman. Their's was the feature act and standing room was at a premium during the entire week. Coleman Minor and his wife, and Meyers, Mules, and Christian were also on the bill. Miss Lottie Gee, the prima donna of "In Bamville," with her partner, Miss Effie King, also appeared here for three weeks in January of the same year at the then unheard of and fabulous salary of $40.00 per week, and could have been there yet if it had been left to the customers. For years rivalry was keen for honor between the late Sammy Ewell and Mr. Blake. Both were "wow" on the ivories, so since they never met to fight it out, the question is still an open one. Blakes' debut as an orchestral conductor was made at Albaugh's Theatre on North Charles street. The occasion was a minstrel show staged by the Monumental Lodge of Elks. Need I say that the music was "all there?" Mr. Blake also began the study of harmony with assistant supervisor Llewellyn Wilson at this time. It was during an engagement at Riverview Park under the direction of the band she began a partnership that has existed with mutual and profitable satisfaction to this day. Frank Powler Brown, the tenor, was also involved in her piece de resistance was a comedy called "A Dangerous Girl." In 1919 the team of Sissle and Blake went over the Keith time with musician. So recent is the success of "Shuffle Along," for which Blake contributed the song hits that repaid the money she earned to describe Eubie Blake's piano playing would be as stupid as trying to sell fur coats at the equator.

Lexington Street Near Market By Afro Sports Editor Edward Gourdin, Harvard law senior, is the world's champion broad jumper with a jump of 25 feet. He is farther than any human being ever jumped before in an athletic contest. Gourdin is also a two-time winner in the college glate pentathlon championships. Charles West, senior at Washington University in Jefferson College, Washington, Pa., is captain of his track team, twice intercollegiate pentathlon champion (that is best at athletics in the American college running the 200, 400 meters, Javelin, discus and broad jump). West is also a football player and star player for three years on his college team. Which is the greater athlete? This is the question that is asked over the country, especially since the PETER West threw the javelin 169 feet, beating Gourdin handily. West hurried the discs 112 feet. Gourdin threw it much more. After attempts, but each time was disqualified because his foot went over the foul line. Gourdin Edw. Gourdin foot went over the foul line. Gourdin threw the discus 106 feet without moving from his tracks. When in form he then beat West in this event easily. West Wins 440. In the 440-yard race, West best trapped the discus by a few feet in the broad jump the world's champion jumped over 23 feet with West three feet in the rear. While West was the actual winner in three of these three races, West is no doubt in my mind but that West is best in he javelin and Coupein in the jump and discus. The horter a print point these, which is the better track athlete. While West was the actual winner in three of these three games, he is no doubt in my mind but that West is best in he javelin and print and Courdin in the jump. What horter sprint would determine which is the better track athlete. It must be recognized that Courdin has been in athletes three years longer than West, and that the latter has the benefit of his youth, and more intensive training. Courdin at work in his law study has had the benefit for athletics during those three years. West on the other hand is at his prime. If the two had met three years ago in the intercollegiate pentathlon event, it is seriously doubted if West could make the showing against Courdin that he made last West is the best all round athlete today. Not only because of his track record, but because of his football record. On the other hand the determining factor which makes a great athlete is this: He is the world's champion broad jumper. West has no intercollegiate record or world's record. Gourdin, when he established his record, beat 3 inches in the broad jump broke an old mark held by an Irishman for 20 years. Gourdin's mark will hold for another 20 years unless DeHart Hubbard, Michigan's black athlete, mer. There are many athletes who can give West a run for his money in all round athletic ability, but there is not a single one who has wrested the world's jumping crown from Gourdin.

Johnson, Jr.) Norfolk, May 17—Kid Norfolk, formerly of Norfolk, now of Baltimore, colored of the world, knocked out Smiling Kid Norfolk, of New York in the third frame of a schedule ten round affair last night St. Helena Reservation, Berkley. The bout was fast and furious throughout the three rounds, and Norfolk's dad from Cape Charles, Va., was in a ringside seat to see his son fight for the first time. The fight was staged under the awning of American Legion of Portsmouth and Norfolk, and Nolan was featured on one of the largest cards ever staged in this vicinity. A good crowd witnessed the fighting, including a sprinkling of the fairer The Smiling Kid is under the management and training of Bobby Dobbs, one-time ring favorite and Victor, the former coach of the Joe Walce, the formidable welter of years gone by. Bylan was knocked out once before by Kid Norfolk in Baltimore last summer in the second round, and he sought a return bout thinking he would be able to get away with the champion. Kid Norfolk arrived a few days before the fight and trained here. Norfolk did not arrive until the next week. Kid Norfolk entered the ring at 10:45 sporting purple trunks and a big turkish towel, and Norolan entered several minutes later strutting a garbardine coat and a cap. Fighters were reeled in, receive instruction from the referee, after which the gong sounded sending them on their way. The fight by rounds: In the opening, Kid Nolan led with a left to the face, which handed and did not seem to disturb the champion. Both fighters began feeling out their own before winding in. Nolan started chasing in and Norfolk brought blood from a slight skin abrasion on the right cheek after a series of blows to the head. Nolan felt inclined to crowd Norfolk and clinched frequently. Norfolk brought his in fighting into play and jarred his opponent several times. The going found both men in a elusive. Norfolk's round. BOUND TWO Norfolk beat with a left to the jaw and Nolan winded in trying to connect with the fast champion. Both men clinched and Norfolk showered short body blows at the midfield of Nolan. Every blow was far out of the way, and the other two were not keep away. Nolan bitted several good jolts in the mix up, but they did not seem to have enough steam to check Norfolk. Norfolk batted Nolan to his corner and with the rapidity of machine gun fire rained his body blows on Nolan. Nolan dropped and took the count of nine before getting up. Nolan got up at nine and went into a elusive. After the break both men stepped heavily until the bell sounded ending the second period. Norfolk's round.

Lincolns Take Doubt From the Poto Lincolns Take Double Header From the Potomacs game for the Lincolns. He was opposed by Hampton. Four batters were walked in the first inning by Starks, which resulted in one score. In the second inning Hampton scored a home run, bringing in scores. After this Starks settled down and pitched good until the fifth inning, when he allowed three runs and was succeeded by Dave Brown. Up to the eighth inning the Wolverines had a one-run lead. In this frame Brown hit a single and was followed by Williams, who hit a three bagger to deep left field. Marcel followed with a two-base hit and was scored by Scales' single. The game was ended in the first half of the next inning when Taylor, E. Brown and Eggleton tied to hit. The final score was 3-6. By winning the double header, the Lincolns have won seven out of nine games played in the Eastern League race and indications are that they will take at least one of the against the League leaders, the Bacharach Giants, next Sunday.

Clark New York, N. Y. —The rejuvenated Lincoln Giants took both games of a double header from the Washington Potomacs before a crowd of 6,000 fans at the Catholic Protector Oval on Sunday afternoon, when started for the Lincoln, allowed five hits and four runs in the first frame. He was succeeded in the second inning by John Taylor, a cookie pitcher, who struck out six men and held the visitors acelesson. The Washington team used three pitchers. "Stringbean" Williams started the game and pitched good ball for three innings. In the fourth inning Gee hit a home run off him and Newsome took his place, but he was also unable to check the ball of the local team. Smith finished the game for the Capitol City hays. The seventh was the big inning for the home team. Burnet was given his base on balls; Holland, who batted for Kemp, made a safe bunt, and Gee followed with a three bagger. He was scored on a sacrifice by Williams, who also advanced Taylor, who had gotten a single. Another single by Kenyon, gored Taylor, giving the Lansing four buntings, which made the final score 4-5. In addition to the batting of Gee and the pitching of Taylor, the work of Kemp, who was hit on the head by a pitched ball, but continued in the game, was a feature. Goodrich at third base was the best player for the visitors. KINKY QUESTIONS NOTE: The AFP has seized the services of Pete Hahn, 71, who said he Soy to aid ball clubs all over the country in solving equations required by American sport that are usually not found in the rule book. He was not only the authority on the game, having devoted the major portion of his life to the passion he has led by leading teams of the world. Mr. Hahn will be glad to answer all questions. has secured the title of the HILL, manager of the Black Sox to aid ball clubs country in making exposures relating to the great American sport that usually found in the park. Mr. HILL is an authority on the game, better known for his major portion of his life to the postgame, the leading teams of the world. Mr. HILL will be glad to answer all the AFIFO, Address, Pete Hill, Afro-American, 628 N. Awnt Street, Baltimore, Md. Dear Pete—Please answer thru the Afro, on a first base; B at the bat. B hits line drive to right field. A in rounding second base misses bag, ball goes over fence for honor. Do runs count?—L. E. Sparrows Point. Answer, yes. No answer, but if one or—nobody out, B's run counts, but A's does not. Dear Pete--Batter hits ball back at pitcher, which hits rubber, but no part of pitcher and rebound on onfault between first and home plate. Is it a fair or foul ball?—A. C. Harford County. Answer--The same question came up for discussion a few years ago when a pitcher hit a third base in Billy Evans and myself. Billy was in doubt himself, but we came to the conclusion that it was a foul ball. A fair hit ball is on fair ground, or a ball that settles on fair ground between first and home or third base and home plate. Dear Pete--Can a pitcher start the game and be taken out at any time?—G. M. Richmond. Answer--In our first game this year with the Washington club the same question came up. The pitcher hit a first base, the first batter, the said batter to either reach first base or be put out. Mt. Winans Wins SOX WANT GAMES MDRHAIROMI THE EASTERN LEAGUE Won 5 Lost Per.

See Ganoe Atlantic City, May 12.—The Bacarach Giants did not need to extend themselves in easily beating the LeDroit Tigers, of Washington, D. C., yesterday afternoon at the Bacarach Park, since 1924. A night in which Johnny Harper, Dick Landy and Napoleon Cummings figured was the only redemining feature. This rare bit of fielding came in the third inning. Minley and Hope were on the second and first sacks respectively, through misplays on the part of Reid, Johnny Pugh drove a hot liner to Harper. The latter turned quickly and brought it to Landy. Landy then bound base to Minley, and then pegged it to Cummings, who placed his spikes in the bag before Hope could return in the cushion. LeDroit came here as a representative of the Washington colored Elks, who were on an excursion to Atlantic City yesterday.

Gay St. SOX'S NEW PLAYERS ARE EXPECTED ARE EXPECTED Sunday, the Sox will cross with the Hildale club, of Darby, in a double bill, and one of the hardest fights of the season is predicted as the Hildales have been going strong this year. All ready betting is even and if Padrone and Home Run Johnson are here (they are expected Thursday) the Sox will have a big advantage. The big left handed Cuban pitcher (Padrone) signed up last week when Spedden was in Kansas City, and stated that he would be op as soon as he would get his affair, which would take up two or three days, so he is due here this week. Pete will most likely start the game with Padrema and Pullen as battles. Rojo will be out of the game for several weeks now, due to a spiked band by Anderson, of the Potomacs, down on Eastern Shore last week. Johnson will relieve Pete in left field if he gets here in time. The fans hate to see a good man like Pete take the bench after playing the brand of ball that wins games for the past few weeks. Pete says he can win more games by being in position to keep an eye on the weak points of the plays, and you can't watch the men and play ball on Wednesday the Sox will cross the Camp Holibird nine and Saturday the Philadelphia Giants will invade the Sox domain. Capt. West In Meet On This Saturday Washington, Ia., (PNS) May 22 —Captain West has started preparation for the dual meet between W. & J. and Ohio Wesleyan at Delaware, Ohio, Saturday afternoon.

Dr. Giering's Educational Talk For Poisoned Men With Social Diseases and Loss of Vitality A healthy 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 congenial malformations, self abuse, injury, 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 treatment, 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. Giering. 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 the power of procreation—this one fact alone more than any other should influence you to seek advice and treatment. The sooner men who suffer from social diseases learn the truth and take advantage of his free advise and consult a skilled physician the better it will be for you, your neighbor, as well as for your offspring.

PETER B. While still wearing knickers, the little fellow was acclaimed by his associates and an admiring public the best "planner of the town," an honor which is equivalent to winning a world's series or being the valedictorian at Harvard. Quite a youngster was he when the late Joe Gans, "The Old Master," engaged him as pianist at the Goldfield Hotel. J. Madison Reed, the entertainer; Miss Mary Stafford, the singer, and Joe Methosch, the last second composer, landed in these shores. Formed a quartet of invincibles. Even then the composing bee was buzzing in Eubie's boinet, and "It's All Your Fault," was one of the brainchildren born fathered by the aspiring author. The week of May 20th, 1912, the late William Hildy, a fellow township man, joined the team of Reid and Blake to act and perform, in the language of the theatrical barristers, at Daly's Theatre, now named the Lincoln. The engagement was an experiment accepted by the pair to find out if they could make good upon a stage as they had upon a cabaret floor. They were paid $35.00 per week for their work for Reid. Blake played Reid's accommodations, and featured the "Memphis Blues" in a spotlight. Perspiration Plus Dress Suit Two things stand out in memory Continued on Page 14 "JUDGE" BOND GETS NEW CAR "Judge" Roy S. Bond, well-known practicing attorney, has at last received his new "Jordan Blumboy" sport model, touring car. It came last week. In March, 1928, the attorney was owed $10,000 second-hand Jordan Touring car for new by a lease agency. After unsatisfactory service and continual trouble with the car, it was suggested to "Judge" Bond that his car was not altogether new. Accepting the suggestion, an immediate investigation, was begun. It was soon discovered that the car was used and seized. Suit for $10,000 damages was then brought in the City Court. Realizing that business was meant, the company bent great efforts to adjust the matter. Upon agreement to supply "Judge" Bond with a brand new car without any further expense, in exchange, for the car sold him, suit was withdrawn. There have been several others cases where used cars have been sold colored people. The cases of Dr. Ralph J. Young and Dr. Chas, H. Fowler are ones in point. This is the first case dealt with, and it will have a tendency to break up the practice of selling certain people used cars for new. The Peterson, Inc. team in Indianapolis, Cott, Mgr., has made good by supplying this new car, even after the fight. This automobile case was handed for "Judge" Bond by Attorney Gobert E. Machett.

COPS BREAK "SOLID SOUTH" IN RAID White "Visitors" From Virginia And North Carolina Found In Colored Home NEIGHBORS COMPLAINED Police Find Four In One Room, But One Girl Made Her Escape The third of series of raids on palma parties broke the "solid South" Sunday when three white men fresh from the Carolinas and Virginia were caught with as many women in a house at 1012 Whatcott street. The men were Lee Branham, Sparrow's Point; Eugene Cox, Aldmore, Va.; and Charles Welsh, East Bend, N.C. Two of the men, Branham and Welsh, both white, were scared in a room with one of the women and another woman is said to have escaped when the police As a result of the raid, Mrs. Mary Hickens, proprietress of the house, was held under $1,000 bail charged with keeping a disorderly house, while Lee Bramham, white, and Miss Bessie Mellette, one of the bailers for the action in the house, Jury, charged with assignation. The other two men were held as State's witnesses. Mrs. Mary Handy, 2310 Leslie street; Arthur Lowden, 314 N. Mumlion street, and Berkley Noel, 323 N. Gilmer street, taken in the raid, were dismissed. On complaint of neighbors that white men were seen from time to time entering the place and when three men were seen to enter Sunday the officers were notified. The officers testified that two of the men and one of the women had retreated in one of the houses but that the other her escape. Miss Eibel Mellette admitted that Lee Bramham offered her money, but denied any further intimacy.

Arthur Jones Has Practically Circled Earth Seven Times For Uncle Sam 26 YEARS IN SERVICE Every Day Except Sunday And Holidays He Covers a 12 Mile Route By Kennard Williams Fortunate Citizens, who with their arm a crank or the caress of a self-starter are enabled to whiz by their less favored broth- ers, would throw up their hands in holy horror if consigned to walk with a heavily laden, un- comfortable vehicle, of total miles in 26 years, or a little less than 7 times around the earth. And this, too, is a red-tape between public servant bound around with "thor shirt notes" and the target for the whims and caprices of the occupants of 655 homes. Their smiles would not be as giddy, I wager, as the gentleman in the insorted photograph And this, 100, as a red-tape lettered public servant bound around with "thou shalt nots," and the target for the whims and caprices of the occupants of 655 homes. Their smiles would not be as gentle, I wager, as the gentleman in the inserted photograph, who is Mr. Arthur Jones, employed by Uncle Sam to deliver letters of joy and sometime of sorrow to residents of a district embracing a thickly populated section of northwest Baltimore. This gentleman began his postal service in July 1988, his first 16 years in the department were spent collecting mail over a 22 mile route. For the remaining 12 years the general mailman has been delivering for an average of 204 days a year, allowances made for holidays and Sundays. For the first 4 1-2 years he waived 22 miles per day, for the following 7 1-2 years, 12 miles daily. From these figures has been computed the number of miles given in the beginning of the article. Curiosity prompted us to inquire if there could possibly be anything interesting in a job, which to a plain citizen seemed to be one of grinding.

Good Morning Judge Mrs. Benjamin Balked At High Life—Jones Says Bert Was Wrong—Has Meanest Husband—Fool Couldn't Live In Flying Machine When Mrs. Grace Benjamin, 244 Etting street, told William, her better half, that she would have him arrested if ever he resorted to beating her again, he told her that if she did she had better lives in a life of her. Mrs. Benjamin called his last week and as a result she will not only be able to remain on solid ground, but Benjamin will spend the next 20 days the guest of Warden Lee. "Mugge" waited Mrs. Benjamin, "you know I can't live in a flying machine and he says that is the only place I can live where he wont kill me." He was committed in default of a fine of $25 and costs. Whiskey And Women Too Much If the late Bert Williams had talked with Norman Jones, 1126 N Gilmore street, before he wrote his famous song about the glory of booze and women down below, it would have had a different ending. Norman disagrees with Mr. Williams, this one, this season, watered by Saturday night. Norman tried to drown the troubles he was having with his sweeche with "liker," and even his mother, Mrs. Mary Jones, thought it best to have him taken into custody until he subsided. Jones was wrecking the house when the police arrested him and Magistrate fined him $5 and costs it a charge of disorderly conduct. Meanest Husband In Town James Bankins, 1361 N. Gilmor street, will take the prize as the meanest husband in town. After his wife, Erica Bankins, had died, will tell the after finding him enjoying the comfortable bad of another sweete, he became angry because his peace was disturbed and proceeded to beat her up. I befitted Mrs. Bankins, "I went down to the lady's house and even told my husband I would wait until he dressed to go home with me, and he got angry and beat me curiously." Father will not deny the assertions of his, wife and was fined $10 and costs. ```markdown ``` "A Fool There Was" When Elkhart Harris, who halls from Little Old New York, met Miss Mary E. Green, 925 Wilmer mule, at a dance Friday night, he figured that he had broken into high society, and forthwith began to peel bills off his fat bank roll. A swell supper was followed by more music, sparkling bootleg whiskey and a promise from Miss Green that her company was his for the plunge. Everything wont until Miss Green saw the lost of the bills melt away, and then she told him that she had to be going. He insisted on carrying her home, where she told him to wait a minute until she opened the back door so he could come in the front. Then this is what Harris said happened: C. W. H.

Pay As the Work Progresses FRIDAY, MAY 23 LABOR MAKES GOOD IN SHOE PLANT Colored Operators At Work Doing Every Process Of Shoe Manufacture Here A successful attempt to widen its employment opportunities for colored men and women has just been brought to the attention of this paper by the Muskin Shoe Company of this city. On February 9th, of this year, this company organized a division in which it was planned that all processes of shoe making would be carried out by colored employees. Mr. Frank Parker, 1299 Harlem avenue, who had gained a working knowledge of the shoe manufacturing trade in factories in Canada, was made manager of this department. Although all of the men and women taken into the plant had to be trained by Mr. Parker, the success of this department has been sure the company is making an addition to its take care of this division. When this addition is complete colored people here will have an opportunity to engage in every operation in shoe making from cutting to finishing. WORK PAYS WELL Since work in shoe factories is generally piece work, colored employees will have the same wage scale as other workers. Some of the girls now in the plant are making $18 weekly, and some of the men are expected to develop their pay to $12 per day. Mr. Parker told a reporter for this paper that he could use a number of both men, and women in this department, but what is used are steady men and women who want permanent employment.
