BARON WILKINS BURIED IN N.Y. WEDNESDAY
Thousands in Streets Pay Tribute to Cabaret Owner and Sporting Man Slain by Gunman
SLAYER GIVES SELF UP
Friends
New York, May 28.
Baron Wilkins, cabaret owner and the city's leading sporting man, slain Saturday night near his home, was buried today.
Wilkins was shot on the street at 6 o'clock Saturday. He fell a few feet from the doorway at 198 W. 124 street, where he maintained an Exclusive cabaret, for white and colored, and died in a hospital. His body rested in Duvene's Undertaking Parkers on 135th street, where thousands entered to view the remains.
His skier, "Yellow" Charleston, but whose real name is William Miller, conducted a gambling place on the same street. The biking place on the street had just shot John Parker to death in a game in his place, raced up to Wilkins and damnated $100 with which to get out of town. When Wilkins refused "Yellow" killed him and died, while a mob of some 500 collected.
TELEPHONE USED
Within a few minutes the murder was known all over the East, the word being related to Wilkinson's large group of friends by telephone. Several hours later, "Yellow" knowing that he could not escape the police dragged and the hundreds of Wilkinson friends in every big city, who would show him no mercy, gave himself up to the police. He told this story of "Yellow" said he was running a crap game in the dark basement room he hired at No. 129 West 134th street. The place goes under the title of the "Model Social Democratic Club." But the stakes there don't often go above a few "hits." Most of "Yellow's" customers are close to broke.
He told that John Parker, who is known throughout Harlem as a "sport" and gambler, entered a game and lost all his money. Parker grumbled to the rough stuff in an account of ladies next door." Parker kept it up, "Yellow" started for him, Parker pulled a knife, "Yellow" shot him down.
SAW BARBON ON STREET
"Yellow" ran through the hallway to the roof. Across the roofs he ran to No. 119 West 124th street. He ran out to the street. At the corner, outside Barron Wilkins' Exclusive Club at No. 198, he saw Barron himself talking to "Tum-Tum" and a friend "Yellow" ran up to him.
"Yellow" told the police that several weeks ago he stole liquor from a warehouse after tying up the guard. He sold it, he says, to Barron Wilkins for $700. Since then he had asked for his money. Barron paid him only in doles. In all Barron had paid him $600, he sold it. In all Barron had no money he ran up to Barron, dodging through the road, he told Barron:
Winnings he says snook his head and pocket menacingly, "Yellow" shot him three times. While Wilkins stood, his great legs wide apart, hardly swaying, to die later in the hospital. "Yellow" dodged across the street. He zigzagged back again. He dodged into the hallway of No. 30. On the stairs to the roof. Across the roof the roof gave, throwing his pistol into an air shaft. The police have found no trace of the pistol.
ADVISED TO SURRENDER

DEMOCRATS TO TAKE ANTI-KLAN STAND
Indianapolis, Ind., May 29. With the Republicans of this State lined up definitely with the Ku Klux Klan, Democrats in their convention here June 5th are expected to take a decided Anti-Klan stand. Dr. C. B. McCullough, democratic nominee for Governor, has declared squarely against the Klan. The following plank has been submitted to the State Convention by the National Council of Catholic Men:
"We condemn without equivocation or mental reservation all proscription of people because of creed, color, race or religion. We are unalterably opposed to the pernicious practices of the Ku Klux Klan and all other organizations the effect of whose very existence is to create dissension and disorder, divide communities and to cause animosity and bitter enmity among people where friendship and amity would otherwise prevail."
If the Democrats come out against the Klan, that will take some 30,000 colored voters from Republicans.

Dr. Carroll Welcomes A Term 'In Pen' In Order To Break Dope Habit
Well-Known City Physician and Wife Caught in Net Which Colored Slueth Helped to Set
Dr. and Mrs. Daniel Carroll, 140 W. Hill street, together with 17 alleged dope kings, wholesalers, peddlers and addicts, caught in the biggest raid ever staged here, were held under heavy bail in the U. S. District Court Wednesday.
Ten agents, gathered from various sections of the country and including one colored sleuth, who refused to give his name, said to be one of the most efficient in the service, took part in the raid with results said by the Narcotic Department, to be the most important and for reaching ever attained in this country since the law went into effect.
$50,000 1X DOPE SEIZED
Although $50,000 dope, at present retail prices, was seized, Dr. H. E. Rheos, in charge of agents making the raid, told in report that the importance of the raid lay in cutting off the complete local supply to addicts by capturing all of the principal wholesalers and dope kings supplying the drug in this section.
Dr. and Mrs. Carroll, both of whom were caught actually selling the drug and trapped by agents, plead guilty and are being held unpaid $50,000 bail each. They were not only caught selling the deadly poison, but the doctor was found to be a confirmed addict.
Percy L. Clarke, L. M. Groves, Ala. T. Wade, Don L. Gray, Hardy W. Chambers, E. K. Rabbitt and Warren T. Muquin. Assisting them were Dr. Directive Sgt. L. S. Sanders, Chief of the Narcotic Fiction of the Washington Police Department. Most of the above named men were brought here from other sections of the country to stage the raid.
Dr. Carroll and a number of the aliens were represented at the hearing by the law firm of Davis and Traus.
RAID CITY WIDE
For more than ten days agents carefully laid their trap. In each place where arrests were made members of the department, disguised as addicts, had purchased the drug. Then like a bolt of a clear sky the agents assisted by local detectives, jumped down from all places, and waited from the time the raid started more than 17 men and women, including practically all the wholesalers, were behind prison bars.
YOUNG GIRLS ADDICTS
Several of those arrested as peddlers and addicts were young girl under twenty years of age. Others were confirmed addicts so saturated with the drug that when incarcerated in the cell they lashed their bodies in want of the dope. 140 W. Hill street; Mrs. Mabel Carroll, 140 W. Hill street; Esther Williams, 1123 Shields Alley; Bozzle Lee, 551 W. Barro street; Roland Chanle, 1001 Pennsylvania Avenue & Fourth Street; John Brown and Joseph Lowe, 917 Carlton avenue; William Cole Blanche Thomas, Lula Onderson, Lillian Anderson, Bessie Scott, Bessie Slocum, and William Cole. The agents laid the plans that they had traced John Brown and Joseph Lowe, alleged wholesalers, to New York and back Saturday and found they had in their possession 24 ounces of dope valued at $500 per ounce. When trapped in his place on Pennsylvania avenue, Roland Chanle tempted to escape from the front door window, but rolled from the roof directly in the arms of two waiting agents.
WC CARGOLL CONFESSES
Making a clean sweep of his case, Dr. Carroll is said to have told officers that he would welcome a term in prison as a means of getting free from the power of the police. He disorder followed the arrests of some of the women when taken into custody. There are hundreds of addicts in this city, it is said, and systematic practices were employed to increase this number, especially among young women, both white and black, with relatively into the use of the drug. Smelling salts and other devices have been found to conceal the dope and rich harvests were being repeted by dispensers. Lowe and Brown are said to have been the source or supply for a large number of cocaine and cologent agents. Recent prices here went as high as $5 per "deck" or capsule.
Among Agents
Agents taking part in the raid led by Dr. Rhees were Boyd M. Martin.

Being told to information at the detective headquarters she is 15 years old. Other persons state, however, that she is about 18.
Spencer was arrested last Saturday night at a U street moving picture theater by Detective Paul Jones. No bond could be arranged for him. Consequently he spent Saturday night at the U street and Sunday night held up in a police cell. At first bond for his release was wanted in the sum of $5,000, but at the preliminary hearing on Monday morning this amount was reduced to $2,000. He secured bondsmen and was released from custody.

It is alleged that he attempted to commit the act. "The girl, swimming in the street, swimming. A high school professor living nearby came to her rescue and is said to have gone into the house and found Spencer hiding in a closet.
HIS VERSION
Spencer told the detectives that he went there to see the girl's parents concerning a punch board for the benefit of the Masons. They were absent. While there he saw a report of the Virgin Islands commission in a magazine and sat down to read it. A little girl of about six years was sitting in the time. These two girls went in and out the room in which he was seated, but no such attempt was made. He left the house with no claim of that kind having been made and was sent in the theater when the detectives came up and arrested him. Maurice Spencer is 48 years old. He has a wife and two daughters. His older daughter is a teacher in the public schools of the District of Columbia. He is the teacher of the Miner Normal School. His wife and the mother of the girl are intimate friends. Both work at the same desk at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.

He was with Monroe Trotter at the White House when the late President Woodrow Wilson was his chief adviser (the National Equal Rights League. At the detective bureau he gave his occupation as a caterer. His acquaintances, however, say that recently he has engaged in no work at all. He formerly operated a restaurant in an apartment house for white persons only. During the war he ran a lodging house for war workers. He is highly intelligent, immaculate in dress and from appearances might be a member of the diplomatic corps. He is one of the South American republic. Attorney Benjamin I.

She is a Success!
In her chosen profession—the stage. Nightly, she thrills vast audiences with her beauty and graceful dancing as she appears on the scene in the Beulah Benbow Musical Company. And, like all successful people we see in our group, nowadays, Miss Hartley has an abundance of lovely, straight, glossy hair.
When asked about her beautiful hair, Miss Virginia Hartley laughed and said: "Really, that's a professional secret! But, to be honest, my hair was short, wiry and ugly until I started using PLUKO HAIR DRESSING. It is really due to the regular use of this wonderful preparation that I have such beautiful hair now."
Are YOU proud or ashamed of YOUR HAIR?
There is no longer need for you to have a scanty growth of short, harsh, wiry hair, which you must be ashamed of, when thousands of our leading and successful men and women, like Miss Hartley, are making their hair long, straight, glossy and beautiful using PLUKO Hair Dressing. You can get PLUKO HAIR DRESSING from your druggist or merchant in town or city. Pluko Hair Dressing, all perfumed and ready to use, costs less than you would have to pay for materials to make the same amount of the most ordinary hair dressing.

D. C. ELKS LOSE CASE AGAINST EXALTED RULER
District Supreme Court Refuses Injunction Asked Against Finley Wilson
NO ACTION IS PLANNED
Wilson Tells Court He Had
Not Intended to Suspend
Lodge
By MORRIS BROWN
(Washington Correspondent)
Washington, D. C., May 26.—Columbia Lodge No. 85, Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World, was denied an injunction restraining J. Finley Wilson, Grand Exalted Ruler, and Clarence W. Jackson, District Deputy, from suspending the lodge or revoking its charter, by Justice Stafford in equity division No. 2 of the District Supreme Court last Friday morning.
Upon his refusal to sign an order restraining the defendants, Justice Stafford suggested to counsel that a stipulation be created into that a stipulation the prosecution of the charter of Columbia Lodge and the expenditure of $20,000 for a home for indigent bills.
This suggestion was in agreement with the answer of the Grand Exalted Ruler to the petition of Columbia Lodge for the restraining order. Thru Charles S. Hill his attorney, he denied that there was any suspension or threatened suspension of the lodge.
The answer sets out that on April 8, 1924, the Grand Exalted Ruler cited Columbia Lodge to show cause for the purpose of getting at the truth of the charges against it and to determine them peacefully in the best interest of the Order; that about April 20, he was called away from the city on business of the Order and did not return until April 22 that he was informed the lodge made answer on April 22, but he had no telegram this until he received a telegram at Columbia, Ohio, advising him of this suit for injunction filed April 23.
The Grand Exalted Ruler stated that the lodge took advantage of his absence from the city to file this suit within less than 24 hours after having answered the rule. He said that he had not been given evidence that he had not answered the answer in order to reach a decision. He also cited that the lodge had the right of appeal from the findings of this committee to a committee on appeals and grievances, which reports its findings to the Grand Lodge. He set forth sure precautions in dealing with the oath of obligation of the Grand Lodge, to which the local lodge subscribed and agreed to.
This suit for an injunction was filed by the trustees of Columbia Lodge. It followed immediately upon their answer to a rule to submit the oath of obligation to be suspended for various violations of the Grand Lodge laws.

NEGROES NOT SPLIT MORE THANOTHERS
Dr. John Hope Home From Abroad Says American Negroes Are Together COLOR PROBLEM ABROAD Japan and India Have Same Grievances as Colored Folk
New York, May 28. Returning from the Copeo Conference in Birmingham, England, Dr. John Hope, President of Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga., was met on Wednesday evening by a host of friends at the New York Urban League Building, where he described the Conference on politics, education and Christianity; attended by representatives from various parts of the world.
Dr. Hope represented Colored America at the Conference and a gift gave his New York friends impressions gained through contact with men of various races, particularly from South America.
PETER B.
"A bond of sympathy," said he, "is growing between men of color throughout the entire world. The people of Japan and India seem to have grievances similar to those of the American Negro." Dr. Hope gave as his opinion that American Negroes are no more divided than peoples of other races and countries. They may differ here and there, but are together on fundamental policies. He declared the importance of the cultural institutions gained from the Conference was, that Negroes in Africa, in South America and other parts of the world, are looking to Negroes of the United States of America for guidance; that the opinion of the American Negro is highly respected by the men of color throughout the world.
Prior to the meeting a few close friends of the Dr. Hope had dinner at the black and Yellow Tee Room. He was also a frequent guest of H. Dillard of the Jane's Fund, L. Hollysworth Wood, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur H. Holden, Mr. Curtis Wheeler of the Literary Digest, Mr. and Mrs. James H. Hubert, Mrs. F. Frissell, Mrs. Louis A. Corbin, Mr. and Mrs. James H. Hubert, Miss Elizabeth Watton, Miss Eva D. Bowles, Dr. Herskowitz, Andrew J. Allison and John E. Nail, Chairman, New York Urban League, presided and called on L. Hollysworth Wood, who introduced Dr. Hope as the foremost apostle of higher education for the Negro; and one whose influence was most important in the National Urban League Executive Board. Mr. A. Frissell, who is just back from a cruise then the Mediterranean, and Dr. James H. Dillard, who has spent several months in South Africa, spoke briefly of their experience and observations.
BARON WILKINS BURIED INN. Y.
(Continued From Page One)
down to the street. He hailed a taxi cab. In it he rushed away downtown. He drove to San Juan Hill his old stamping grind with his first met Barron with him. He thought he had friend friends. He left the taxi and wandered up the street, afraid of the street lights. Out of the dark came a friend. He confided in him. The friend said he should give himself up.
"Not until I've seen my wife," said "Yellow." He arranged to meet the friend at Second avenue and Canal street the next day. He took a seat downtown. No one attention. He went as far as the car attention. He was as far as the walk to the Hudson Terminal Building. There he took a train to Jersey City.
All night he slept in the tube station in that city, fingering his $50, or prowling through the streets nearby. He was afraid to go ahead, afraid to turn back, afraid to stay where he was. Between all his friends he chose the police. At then he would know his identity. He came back friendly and went directly to Headquarters. Hundreds of Wilkins' friends attended the preliminary trial of "Yellow" in the 1535 Street Station. So ugly was the feeling that police searched the spectators for weapons. "Yellow" feared he would be shot or mobbed by the crowd.
Barron Wilkinson was born 63 years ago in Portsmouth, Va. He was six feet tall and of powerful frame. He had conducted cabarets or sporting places in Norfolk, Va., Atlantic City, Washington and Chicago. In Harlem he backed Jack Johnson and many professional baseball clubs. He was known as a man with a big bank roll, a power in politics, a poet, a publicist, and kept his hand in his pocket for his friends. One of his last acts was to send a check for $25 to Sam Langford, the fighter, who is broke and blind, and order him a new suit of clothes.
PLACES OFTEN RAIDED
His first local cabaret was on 35th street near Eighth avenue. Later he moved to west 37th street. Police raided him frequently but he never gave up, and always denied giving police bribes. Fourteen years ago, police obtained a supreme court injunction to close his place. While obtained a stay, he did indeed doing business with many more raids. A feature of one of his cabarets was a balcony where visitors could look down on Jack Johnson dining below: He married Miss Carolyn Sparrow.

Jimmy Howell, with a new female partner called Pearl and a brand new act, opened the bill on Tuesday night. The team does a singing and dancing turn, and Jones, another new act, created a miniature riot with a clever musical novelty. The playing of a cornet a 'la jazz, by the female end of the team, is a bit of art. The horn is played with a mute throughout the act, a tone nicely subdued in volume, and melow neither brassy nor brassy is produced. The male does some clawing and banjo strumming time.
De Gaston and Yuen close the show, a gem of an act for anybody's Galilee De Gaston is one of those "wise cracking nut comedians." His style is different from the average "knockdown and drag out" repetition preacher, but he prefers what it is all about. Miss Yuen who is a wide-awake "feeder" displays a generous amount of bare limbs, she is a dancing baby with a style different from any solo dancer appearing here for quite a little white.

Just had word from Helena Justa, the little tote-dancer. She enjoys the distinction of being the first colored girl in the big time. She, with three boys, have worked continuously since the act made its "showing" on the Keith Circuit. The act is now playing the Boston house at an increased salary and assistance of any advisors. She is a well balanced lady with a head that is as well trained as are her toes.

"The most evenly balanced bill, and one of the bst draws I have had this season" is what Manager Snyder of the Lincoln Theater said about his high praise that and we are in duty bound to tell who comprised the bill. Boots Marshall and his Revue, Princess Mysteria, the mentalist, Easton and Stewart, Maude Mills and two white acts—De Pace and Brown and the manager's compliment, and after seeing one show, the Page agrees with him uniquely. Allen and Stokes' Darktown Bazaar, reviewed elsewhere, followed for the week of the 16th. The Page and later with the Pace and Handy music publishing house, has leased a nice apartment at 107 East 162th street, and opened a home like stopping place for the profession. Her extensive acquaintance with the amusement work and natural diving skills of the body, is going to assure at least some of them a fine New York home.

The woman who does the same, the boy who works to go to school, the pioneer who seeks new opening for the race, the man who is unashamed of his people, the girl who sacrifices for her orphaned sisters, the race school teacher, mother and father. The teacher, lesbian, indores the selections and the editorial that so capably describes them.
Dropped into the publishing house of W. C. Handy, the originator of the "Blues." Handy, Brothers are the singers and songwriters and their promise of becoming as famed as were the blues is very amply testified to by the fact that we saw more than three hundred moments of music dealers throughout the country.

DUBOIS LAUDS
BISHOP BROOKS
Leading Bishop W. Sampam Brooks, Dr. W. E. B. Dubois, who was the bishop's guest during the month he spent in Monroe, Liberia recently, was the priest: BISHOP BROOKS
Bishop W Sampam Brooks is back. America is African in back and rise and hat in hand before him. For a half century the Missionary Bishops of Africa has been a ghastly joke. REFERS TO BISHOP BECKETT
Bishops have secured election by promising to vote for the bishop in field the bishop now living and ruling literally went to his knees and provelted him with a chance to uplift the poor heathen of the West Coast. And then once elected they neglected their work spent but a month or so on the field and wasted the missionary money. They literally jeered their church laughter back at the joke.
Then in 1920 they elected a man for Africa. Not only a man but a woman. He was simply believed in the ethics of Jesus Christ and in this he was exceptional on any bishop's bench. W. Sampson Brooks was a work-unaffecting apostle of Lost Causes. It was he who dragged Baltimore Bethel out of a slough of the swamp. He made St. Paul, thanks to the o-ceedy white Episcopalians. When he Brooks was elected Bishop of Liberia and St. Paul, meant it. He went to Africa. He stayed in Africa. He worked in Africa. The only days he spent out of Africa he was a missionary department of his church refused to furnish, partly out of sheer deviety and partly because he had stolen them.
SPENT 3½ YEARS
Brooks actually spent three and one half of his four year's term on the soil of Africa, and ultimately on the black bishop of West Africa and almost unknown for any white bishop. (The bishop of P. E. Church lives in gay Madeira, 2,000 miles from his work, which he visits only long after he has completed clergy and write articles on "Africa.") Brooks has raised the monies himself, and he has built with a magnificent building, the best south of Senegal; and he stood ten hours a day in the city, and that this work was done right.
The General Conference should like to give him the unfortunate and his unfortunate wife; they should raise and put in his hands and out of the grasp of the grasp of his wife; and the money sufficient to carry on his work. And then if he wants to return and return him to Monoravia where he is loved and honored. And if he cannot go, the General Conference will him name an honest supporter.
DR. JORDAN WELL RECEIVED HERE
Rev. Dr. P. J. Jordan, formerly at Mt. Moriah A. M. E. Church, has been well received as new pastor of the Moriah Church, where he succeeded Dr. D. G. Hill. Dr. Jordan moved his family here this week. In Annapolis, Dr. Jordan built up a splendid congregation at Mt. Moriah A. M. E. Church and was university president for a number of Allen predict a successful pastorate for him here.

THE AFRO-AMERICAN SOUTH'S BIGGEST AND BEST WEEKLY
REGRETS WE HAVE NO NEW BISHOP
David A. Payne, Jr., Says Club
Petitioned Conference for
New Leadership
Mr. Editor:
A few days ago a member of a
club of which I am a member said
to me that he heard that the club
had sent a letter to the General
Conference that he did not to allow
the bishop of any diocese to return
after four years.
I told him that we did and hoped that the Conference will listen to our appeal.
Some time ago the Conference time was to the Reverend Chus. E. Stewart, one of the Bishop Johnson's pets and sycophant, $500 to keep for the superannuated ministers. I asked my pastor what became of that money and requested him to find out at the church to get the attention of the Bishop three times and each time that Big Chief sat him down and spent from five to seven minutes exorcising the poor fellow, saying, "You want to take up I have no time to bother with you."
I go mad with the little fool preacher and at the close of the session I got after him and asked him why he allowed the Bishop to speak to him. He said, "You don't know him, you don't know Bishop. He gets mad if you talk back to him and he will take my appointment away. This is my only job and if Bishop doesn't like you he will take advantage of you. He threatened Rev. R. E. Ford, his Presiding Elder; don't you remember how he did Rev. C. H. Steepman; did you not see how he treated L. M. Beckett, J. D. Banks and a host of whose spirits he has practically crushed out and made cowards of?"
I am like my boy. I would not be a minister five minutes under this Bishop, for I would lose my dignity just as he does and would cuss the priest. He is genuinely toward his brethren. He has no respect for his ministers unless they are a few pets who cringe around and smoke with him and secretly and bury the trust that he has us revealed to them to the Bishop.
I have always felt that Rev. Samuel Johnson would have been living today if he had been cared for by a Trinity, some one said let Bishop come back with the people another year, for what? What has he done to the ministers or bishop who can do the work? Johnson cannot and never did. I knew him when he first came here. He was not a successful pastor, for a successful pastor has sympathy, a sense of humor, and not; he loves his pipe and papers better than he loves people. No, if it were not for so many cliques at the General Conference, a good number would not be made bishop.
I know the church. I was here when Dr. O. D. Robinson purchased St. John. I was here when Rev. J. O. Robinson purchased Tion Street Church from Stockton Alley. I was here when John Wagner purchased Waters on Alsquist street. I helped Rev. D. V. G. Hill to pursue. I was here when Rev. I. G. Murth secured the deed and incorporated Payne Church. I was here when they purchased Handy Memorial and I was here when Rev. J. O. Robinson was doing the church and I know the church and I know who can do and I tell you that under some other leader the ministers will have a better spirit to work. I know who can do and I tell you that our Church. I threw the challenge; there are not six ministers and their wives who are in sympathy with Bishop Johnson's actions. As for sons and daughters of school students, I find one who joes Bishop Johnson.
every woman by his way of blitting after their husbands and if their wives or any good woman should get a seat near to hear during the Conference he will blate out, "Woman, get out there," or "Marshall, take out there," or "that seat," so rough, so uncouple, so ungualent. Who wants a bishop like him? Not a woman. DANIEL PAYNE, JR.
BAPTIST SEMINARY BECOMES REALITY
Nashville, Tenn., May 26.—Definite plans for raising the $25,000 necessary for the National Baptist Theological and Missionary Training Seminary, located in this city, were made by Dr. John E. Wood, of Danville, Ky., president of the National Baptist Convention, who was here yesterday. The school is located in the Over, of Denver, Colorado, the special field representative of the convention and president of the school and local ministers and pastors who have been supporting the school. A good suitet that this property valued is not the first and only National Theological and Missionary Training Seminary to which the Negroes of the United States hold title and which would be owned, controlled and operated by other definite phases of work to the community by the National Baptist Convention a titt Chicago session were outlined at this conference. They are to be further enlarged at the executive board meeting to be held in Cincinnati from 11th to the 16th, while the Sunday School Congress is in session there.
President Wood was assured that there would be 300 Nashville representatives in the special train next September to attend the National Baptist Convention that will be held in Chicago. September plans will be turned over to the convention and where the money will be turned over to the Convention making payment and making the property Negro Baptists and their posterity.
May Succeed Gregg
Wilberforce, O., May 29.—Dean Gilbert Jones, dean and vice-president of Wilberforce University since 1914, is expected to succeed Gregg, former president of the University, recently elected bishop, when the trustees meet here commencement week.
MEMORIAL DAY
EDITORIAL
When Abraham Lincoln stood on the battlefield of Gettysburg and delivered, the speech that has now become a classic, once the real purported Memorial Day and the abiding lesson that should be taught on that day.
Those few plain words, fraught with the cruelty and simplicity of our great man, made great in tribulation and anguish of spirit, have come down to us and will go down through the ages as the true definition of memorial that can ever be elected to those we love and honor.
"It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great revered memorial—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of their devotion to us, that these dead shall not have died in vain." And they will have died in vain so far as we are concerned if all that we take to the cemetery are the flowers and flags to decorate
The message of Memorial Day is that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom through the years that come, just as much as in the year of 1563. And Freedom is a growing, living thing, the same thing the year, 1924, dedicates ourselves to the cause of freedom, to live for it, fight for it, and if need be to die for Gettysburg, whose hero at Gettysburg, Santiago and Flanders Fleeds.
MOVE MADE TO STIR UP PRESBYTERIANS
Philadelphia, Pa., May 29 (ANP)
—It is understood that a determined effort to have the Presbyterian Church to offer effectively interest in that phase of the body's work which concerns Negroes, is to be made at the 136th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church which is to be made at Michigan, starting Friday, May 22.
Leaders in the church point to the early and active work of Presbyterians towards the emancipated Negroes, and pride to what the church of that day of later years did. They now observe, however, a tendency to switch the focus to foreign missionary fields, to the detriment of domestic work that might be taken up with much advantage.
Of the 47 synods and 269 presbyteries, 44 synods and 16 presbyteries, with 63 churches, constitute the Negro constituency of the church. The church has among Negroes 137 day schools with three outstanding colleges, 476 teachers, and 18,000 pupil
It is claimed, however, that contributions and appropriations have been greatly reduced, despite this great effort. The emphasis in the church work is placed on that among the Ritani, Czecho-Slovak, Poles, Jews, Ruthenians, Russians. New work, leaders in the church, should be undertaken and fostered in large centers. New York City, it is pointed out, with upward of 200,000 Negroes in the Harlem district, has only two churches, with other large work being carried on.
TWO "Y" BUILDINGS FOR ST.LOUIS
St. Louis, Mo. May 29. —Colored people contributed $125,838 toward the $3,000,000. Y. M. C. A. campaign office. There was no Negro quota assigned, but colored citizens were asked to join with others in raising the fund. Colored people were represented in all committees, including six committees and reported at the daily noon day luncheon. As the result of the campaign, improvements have been made to the 400 block of Pine street and an additional building will be erected in the neighborhood of Poro College. St. Louis will then be the first city where "youth" buildings. Secretary A. B. DeFranz directed the campaign.
YOUNG ENDORSED FOR LIBERIAN POST
Howard E. Young, of this city, formerly secretary to Bishop W. Sampson Brooks, of Monrovia, was endorsed by the A. M. E. Preachers' Meeting Monday morning as secretary of the Board, Dr. C. E. Stewart, who is behind Mr. Young, declared that he has the endorsement already of both Maryland Senators. If appointed by the State Department, Mr. Young will take the office made vengeful through the resignation of the former, who is now head of the normal department of Wiberforce University.
NEW BISHOP HOME

Trinity Sunday morning to present the new pastor, Rev. Wm. H. Thomas and on Monday received a warm greeting from the members of the A. M. E. Ministers' Meeting.

This Reader Does Not Approve of the White Judges at the Gloe Club Contest. They Were Undoubtedly Out of Place
To the Editor:
Very strange indeed that in this late day one would have to ask: Why white people must be considered the only ones capable of correctly doing everything:
The Y. M. C. A. contest staged last week under force. The decision they mind was grossly unfair and certainly unpopular.
I wonder if they can fairly judge Negro songs or songsters. I have seen them show un fitted for such judgment. The one big question in my mind is, Couldn't the "Y" and the clubs have agreed on Negro music, or some other type of Baltimore to judge that contest?
Do we admit we have no competent judges to judge Negro com-
petition? Do we admit we have not say not a Negro critic in America

ose Going to Cleveland Gather At Home of Dr. Geo. Cannon In Jersey
RESOLUTIONS PRINTED
Opies To Be Placed in
Hand of Every Delegate
At National Convention
Jersey City, N. J., May
22.—A National Confer-
ence of race Republicans
was called here today at
the home of Dr. George E.
Cannon, delegate at large
from New Jersey to the Re-
publican National Conven-
tion to be held at Cleveland,
Ohio, on June 10, 1924.
The conference was not called by
a organization in particular, but
idea to formulate a program
present to the Republican National
convention to the end that united
at may obtain among the race
also promote the best interest
the Republican party.
The conference went on record with the following resolutions, a day of same to be placed into the hands of every delegate at the National Convention, and participants into the hands of ex-governors of New Jersey, who is a member of the plattform committee Cleveland.
1. We insist on due observance and enforcement of the entire Constitution of the United States and commend the cutting of congressional representation where the right vote has been obtained.
2. We commend the congressional enment of anti-lynching law to end the wanton destruction of human life.
3. We urge the Republican party to stand for the equal recognition and representation of all citizens within its ranks and oppose the discriminatory on account of race or creed.
It is agreed that these resolutions be placed in the hands of the member of the resolution committee from each State. This conference also goes on record as approving Dr. Connors foresight and thoughtfulness in calling forth the members of colored Republicans of the Nation as to the policy to be pursued at the National Convention.
Present at the Conference were: Dr. Congressman Thomas E. Miller, Caroline Arnold, Dr. Charles A. Lewis, Philh. Mrs. Joliey E. Lankins, Pittsburgh; Rev. W. H. Jernagain, D. C.; Mrs. M. C. Lawton, Mrs. E. F. Horne, N. Y.; Mrs. Christine Maura, Alter-ter, bishop of N. Y.; Mrs. Mamiee Saxes, L. L. Dr. Ernest Jones, Philh. Rev. B. T. Taylor, Paterson, N. J. Rev. W. S. Smith, Jersey City, N. J. Rev. S. L. William A. Byrd, Jersey City; Mdervin S. Thomas, Pres. of Republic Organization of Hudson County; C. Bion Jones, N. J. Letters were received from nine other States who assume the conference of their hearty cooperation in the movement.
certain Amount of Luck Enters
Success, This Reader Thinks
your Editor:
Every man is the architect of his future. Because I have been poor and know how poor people feel, I am going to repeat that question. Have you ever really ever thought out a contemptible thing that giv- attitude is? Why are you able to be a giver? because you were thrifty, clever, inscrutable and strong, while the other cap was extravagant, stupid and bad. You do not wish to acknowledge that but is exacted for it. That's what we all are apt to think unless we give our hearts a thorough housecleaning. But these reasons we give for our success are not the truth. You and I are givers today because we are the lucky benefactors of those who went before.
Yours truly,
H. WALLACE.

In the graveyard, fondly sleeping. Lies the one we loved so well. Oh how we miss her voice from speak-
No one but us can tell
Her pain has ceased, her suffering is
'oer.
God did what He thought best:
He has called her to that promised
Where there is eternal rest.
BY HER DEVOTED CHILDREN.
WRIGHT—In loving remembrance of my beloved mother, Nancy Wright, who died 7 years ago, May 28th, 1917.
I have only your memory dear mother.
To remember my whole life through;
And you are the one I will never forget.
For I will always think of you.
HER DAUGHTER, ROSA ALLEN.

VIRGIN ISLES
COMMISSION
ARRIVES
Delegation of Three to Ask Congress for Civil Government in
DISLIKE MILITARY RULE "U. S. Ought Not Rule Us With Sailors Like Battleship," They Say
Jefferson S. Crague of Delaware one of the U. S. Commissioners to study conditions in the islands will deliver a free public lecture at Bethel A. M. F. Church this Friday after afternoon at the institutes. Wilforder Club, Rev. C.H. Stephan will preside. After finishing their work, the Commissioners have been authorized by the government to lecture on their findings thru the country.
New York, May 24. The Virgin Islands delegation elected at the recent mass demonstrations in St. Thomas to appeal directly to Congress to pass the bill granting the Islands a permanent form of civil govvrnment, arrived in New York on the S. S. Porto Rico this week and will proceed to Washington within the next few days.
The delegation consists of Octavus Cato Granady, for the Island of St. Thomas; Halph J. Hough, for St. Cross, and Frederick Gurty, for St.
The bill whose passage they will urge grants citizenship to Virgin Islands both in the islands and in the United States, and provides for a civil government similar to the one in Porto Rico.
The overwhelming majority of the natives are opposed to a "government by naval officers who rule the islands as they would a battleship," according to Mr. Grumby, who is chairman of the delegation. "The local press and a number of journalists have indicated the Colonial Council for its recent opposition to Senate Bill 2786 granting the islands a civil government." The people of the islands are not citizens of any country; and they are not represented in the legislature. The franchise is so limited that out of 22,000 inhabitants only 800 have the right to vote, which is granted on the basis of property and income of the Virgin Islands who were educated in the United States. He is a graduate of Howard University and for some years practiced law in Chicago. In 1917 a few days before the Virgin Islands were taken over by the United States, he returned to St. Thomas, where he has since been active in the government. Mr. Grumby organized in St. Thomas the first class in American history.
The eighteen members of the Colonial Council represent the property holders and the naval executives only; according to Mr. Granad. Of these eighteen, five are appointed by the governor and most of the others are either relatives or friends of R. L. Merwin, the chairman of the Council and head of R. L. Merwin and Co. Mr. Granad stated that the Merwin faction, representing the five government appointees and merchant element, act as a single combination and dominate the legislature.
"The Virgin Islands are the only American possession with the exception of Guam which is under a military rule, though 98 per cent of the population can read or write English." Mr. Granad added.

JUDGE JOHANNSEN IS QUIZZED
Uncle Bennie Brown Wants To Know About Letter To The AFRO Last Week
THREATS WERE HEARD
Magistrate Declared to Have Promised 406 Persons a Five Dollar Fine
Uncle Bengie Brown
I have just read with considerable interest the correction of Magistrate Johannson of news articles dealing with two cases coming before him in the Magistrate's Court record. The report at the hearing, at which two of the 406 men and women taken in the raid on Lexington street, were fined, I wish to have the Magistrate explain, if he can, certain facts, which by intimation he denies in his letter of correction. When Magistrate Johannsen states that only two men stood trial and that these two were hired 11 and costs each with $1,000, he states the technical but not the substantial truth of the matter.
Looked for Money
The fact is, most of those arrested naturally thought that their collateral money would be returned to them on the day of the trial, even before the two men who did not have collateral, were brought before Magistrate Johannson, men and women were pouring into the station to get their money back. To some of those the Magistrate, he said, as Captain that they would, probably receive a higher fine than the collateral put up. When the two men were arraigned, even though there was no specific evidence against them, the magistrate spoke out in the court room all might hear and fined them FIVE DOLLARS AND COSTS EACH. Later in the afternoon on this day, its counsel came on board for their question, he instructed the captain to release the two men for $1, and costs each.
Jobninson a Lawyer
Now Magistrate Johnson is an attorney and knows the rules of evidence. Here is the case he had before him. The police department had issued a permit for the dance in the hall on Lexington street. From all sections of the city came members of lodges to hold an annual celebration, practically all of whom were hard working, law abiding citizens. While the dance was in progress there was a fight. When the police arrived on the scene (according to his own evidence) he asked some one in charge who had created disturbance. When the police asked would give him names, he decided they were the whole group. Finally they at the actual fight were apprehended, but this did not serve to release those held innocently. Collateral amounting to $700 was collected.
Saw Nothing Disorderly
When the two men who could not raise their collateral, faced Magistrate Johannson, he asked the officer did he see these men commit any disorderly act. The officer admitted that he did not see them do anything. But for being present where a fight had taken place in a hall where THE POLICE DEPARTMENT RISED A PERMIT, they were fused $5 and costs. Others in the court room at the time who had been taken in the raid then failed to appear only because Magistrate Johannson intimated by this fine that innocent or guilty, they were to be punished. If Magistrate Johannson, can explain to any sensible man or woman how this high handed procedure was made possible, the justice of justice to keep $700 of money belonging to innocent people, we would like to hear from him.
There is no man or woman taken in that raid who has not expressed an almost heart sickening contempt for the kind of justice Mr. Johnnson dispensed that day. They have to submit to it, of course, but deep down into their own hearts they know that justice was out. They know that the Magistrate's conscience must writen when he recalls the whole high handed and reprehensible affair. As to this being a part of the police program to clean up the district we would like to suggest that a beginning be made in the numerous blogging places. NOT TO THE MAGISTRATE OF THE DISTRICT that dispense the stuff that caused this fight.

FROM FAR AND NEAR COME DUNBAR STORIES TO AFRO
From far and near this week have come in stories on Paul Lawrence Dunbar to the AFRO'S Dunbar Editor.
In response to several requests, the AFRO published last week a list of books on Dunbar for boy and girl readers.
Many of those letters were received this week wrote stories last year which won for them Frederick Douglas mdaals.
Remember, June 17th is the last day in which the stories will be received.
Here are one or two sent in this week.
DUNBAR THE POET
In spite of the many hindrances and obstacles in which our race has passed it has produced a great honor to great fang and honor.
We look back through the pages of history, and see many Negroes who have made themselves great in spite of oppositions. Who have made themselves tough by Negro producing any tough worthy consideration? We are glad to point the leading poet of our race who, in spite of discouragements, forged on to the front. We are glad to mention an almost not born a slave, yet he new much about the hardships which his foreparents passed through during slavery. He also new the dialect of his homeland, with a fondness of hodgepodge. With wonderful imagination and great thought, he brought the lives and works of his forefathers and mothers into rhyme. He not only received recognition among the opposite race, but also among the opposite race.
In spite of the color of his skin he won the admiration of the world. While his body has gone back to its mother dust his poems still lives, both in the hearts of his own people and in the hearts of the great men of our country such as Douglas, the statesman, Young, the soldier, Dubois, the great scholar, and Washington, educator and teacher, last but not least, appoint a place to Dumbar in Ohio. June 27, 1752, and died on Feb. 9th 1906. Margaret Henry, Belair M. 7th grade
BAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR
It will legitimately interest those who like the source of things, to learn that the parents of the first post of his race in our language were women of white blood. Paul Laurence Dunbar was born in Dayton, Ohio, 1871 and grew up with such chances and mischances for mental training as which befell the children of the poor. He was the only man of pure African blood and of American civilization to feel the Negro life aesthetically and express it lyrically. At school he was a diligent scholar, his favorite studies being spelling, grammar, and literature. He taught his praised little poems which he has beautifully carried to them. Timidity and modesty
DOG STILL MOURNS
FOR DEAD CHILD
Human friends of little Bessie Hayden, fatally burned last March on Calhoun street, may have ceased to mourn for her passing, but over at St Peter's Cemetery there is one mourner who will not be comforted.
This mourner is "Bobby," the child's dog that followed its mistress to her last resting place.
Bessie was fatally burned along with her mother when a fire trapped them in their home. She was laid to rest in St. Peters and when her body was lowered in the grave and relatives and friends departed, "Bobby" lay
Days passed and still the keepers of the grave saw the faithful dog each day perched upon the mound beneath which the child lay. They have now adopted him and provided a home near her hearth, where she requires. Was there ever a friend so faithful? Far beyond human devotion is the love of Bobby.

were his bearing through life. While a student at the Steele School, Tines and when he graduated (1911) the class song composed by him was sung at the commencement. He graduated, Paul sought employment, due to the fact that his father's death (1884) made it fall upon his shoulders to support his mother. He could get no employment beside mental employment. At least he accepted a position as elevator operator. He worked for the company he earned $440 a week. With brave heart he set about his task determined to gain recognition later. There were few flowers in his path, but many cruel thorns.
Thus he learned early to be a
man and in consequence a
boss. 1861.

PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR
Paul Laurence Dunbar was born in Dayton, Ohio, June 17, 1872. His parents were Negro slaves. His father escaped into Canada, prior to the War. William Dunbar was freed by the war and rejoined his husband at Dayton. His father was a plaster and white washer. His mother was a teacher. His parents learned to read. His father preferred history, his mother poetry. Paul grew up in poverty. He was a news and newspaper reporter in the public schools. He first attracted notice by writing a poem for his class in 1903. He also published a volume of verse cullings, said to be good for a young man of any color. Young Dunbar felt that he ought to write in dialect of Negroes. He wished to be educated in the English poet entitled "When Malinda sings." His mother's name is Mulinda. In 1808 he published "Lowly Life," to which William Dean Howells wrote an introduction. In Dayton, February 10, 1906

THE MANTLE OF DUNBAR
The mantle which Dunbar fell
as his soul took flight.
Through the shadowy gloom of a
logo, winter's night.
To the beautiful land of eternal delight.
Has fallen upon me to make my life bright.
Therefore, I sing with the voice of the lark in the day.
Or the notes of the nightingale When nights holds sway.
And though most times I'm happy I am not always gay;
For they who would dance have the piper to pay.
Wherever there is wisdom, there is always a clown.
Wherever there is laughter there you'll find a frown.
And they who could win joy and heaven's jeweled crown.
Must often in sorrow on earth be cast down.

BLIND YOUTH IS PIANO MARVEL
cently
By G. L. MACKEY
A tremendous roadway, the rushing
on tightroads, the trampling
of steeds, the clash of steel
against steel, a crash, the agonized
howls of frenzied souls in torment,
a veritable hell, and above
all the "the scene" of seething
of armed demons in a Dante's Inferno; then the sounds gradually,
softly die away, in the distance,
the lark sails in bliss across the heavens, the scene of murmur of
splitting the brook, the gentle
thrush calling to its mate and
SPRING in all its beauty and
glory bursts suddenly upon
the world and nature the things
of rejoice for the sheer love of being alive.
This is the rendition of "Scherzo
Alrusso" by Techilkowsky, not by
Padiwieski, nor any of the world's
famous musicians, but by a lad, a
colored blind boy.
19 Years Old
Edward A. W.
Steed, a 19-year
old boy, was born
in Portsmouth,
and he been
blind since one
mouth old.
A. B.
He attended the school in Newport News, Va., for two years, then came to Baltimore and has been a student at the Applied School for the Deaf and five years.
Photo-Penn Studio, for the Deaf and Blind for the past five years.
At the early age of 2 years he began his musical career in Virginia, and even at that tender age began to astonish the people of his town with his performances on the piano.
His parents, thrifty people, decided to take him to the Maryland School in Baltimore in order to increase his training and knowledge of music. Since being here, his teachers have complimented his positions have mystified the music critics in this vicinity.
Perfectly Contented
Steele is just a boy, and like all boys, is very modest and unassuming. Sud? Unhappy? Discontented? No. He is perfectly contented, has a happy disposition and is an entertaining talker. In fact, he loves to talk, and although blind and has never seen the sky above him or the beautiful surroundings of the school, he can see all the things and not the sooty things and suffering that we who can see can. He has the rare privilege of communicating with the immortals and expressing himself in God's most expressive language, music, and Steele is happy.
You radio fans might have paid little attention when it was announced last February and March from station W-E-A-R. Baltimore, that Edward A. Steele was broadcasting some composition on the piano, and hardly realized when the player calls came for an encore, that the player was a blind colored boy.
Broadcasts by Radio
By popular request, Station W-E-A-R has been trying to induce Steele to do some more broadcasting, but he is unable to do so now as his school's commencement music requires all of his time. He will be able to the opportunity of hearing this boy at the school's commencement exercises on June 12th at Ford's Opera House. Not only does he play classicals, but popular music as well, as his "Oh Baby" testified. This lad is a composer, too, and has several credible compositions to be heard. He canny to see the boy perform, his fingers fairly fly over the keys, so fast that the eye cannot follow them in their flight. His music thrills the soul and lifts one to the very skies and cause you and me who can see to marvel at the exe-
Off To Europe
It is planned, when Steele's education is completed, to take him to and under the music masters there for a while, then do concert work.

Connor was found partially blind by several years of confluent in a dingy room on Caroline street, will be taken care of in a local institution.
HELD CHILD PRISONER
Evidence brought out at the trial of Connor showed that he had kept the girl for some time with him in his room. Testimony of the child that she had for some time yielded regularly to the improper advances of her father was not denied. The age of the girl probably saved the father from the more serious consequences of rape.

At last the soldiers are to have their bonus. Even though it will place a heavy burden on the tax payers and especially those with large fortunes, the government was obliged to do something for the boys who served the colors and should have done so long ago.
After all, however, the economic consequences of the bonus will not be bad. Given, as it is, in the form of paid-up life insurance, it is hoped that it may mean the beginning of substantial prosperity for thousands of families. It will send millions of dollars into circulation among colored people and some of this certainly will find permanent lodgment.
A warning, however, might not be amiss. Speculators will seek to profit by loans on these policies to those desiring ready cash. Keep your policy, if you can, until it becomes due. If you cannot do this, remember that it is practically as good as a government bond and do not sacrifice it at any big discount. It would be a good idea to salt this bonus down as the first payment on some actual real estate. It would help those dependent upon you and help the race.

The real problem of childhood is primarily the problem of play, proper facilities for recreation are as important as facilities for education. Unfortunately the Park Board of Baltimore has not developed as much as it should with the interest of children in mind.
The first duty of the Board should be to provide adequate play grounds for children available for daily use. These should be scattered into the various neighborhoods and in walking distance. Large parks such as we have are needed, but they do not serve nine-tenths of the children daily because of prohibitive car fares and because children should not have to leave their neighborhood to find places of play. The use of school grounds will help some, but with the lack of space in the schools, a system of community playgrounds should be established under trained play leaders.
Since Baltimore allows a housing system in which children are robbed of all play space except the dangerous streets, it is entumbent upon the Park Board to provide play grounds.

With a labor government at the helm of the British empire, The Soviets ruling Russia, the Socialists and liberals in power in Germany and now the conservative government of Ponciare swept away by a tidal wave of socialism in France, it would seem that the world is headed toward the rule of the workers.
Here in America, however, there will never be any such revolutionary swing to a labor government as we have in Europe. While the ruling capitalists have made many blunders and have done many high-handed things, there is no such demand for a sudden overthrow. What we will probably have is gradual adjustment whereby labor will assume a larger and greater degree of power in governmental affairs.
The rise in this country of what is known as the progressive wing of the government is in reality a labor move. If there is ever a third party there is little doubt but that it will be founded mainly upon the labor and farmer vote. Into this group the majority of colored voters would naturally fall. When Gompers passes by death or otherwise from the leadership of the labor movement in America and a younger and more vigorous chieftian takes hold we are certain to have a labor government here.
Since such a party would need the Negro vote the degree to which he is aligning himself with labor organizations is of importance. Some day the lightning will strike and we must be prepared to take our place in the new order of things.
OTHER TROUBLES THAN OURS
In the Northwestern Police Court this week a white woman made an open plea to the presiding Magistrate that he decide a case in her favor because she was a gentle and her accuser a Jew.
Bred and reared, perhaps in an atmosphere of racial and religious prejudice, she expressed exasperation when the Magistrate would not trample justice under foot and decide in her favor because as she xclaimed, "Judge, I am one of your-kind; I am a gentile."
In an European institution of learning last week a group of gentle students demanded that a Jewish student be used as material for dissection, all of which show that there are other groups in this world who suffer from unrelenting racial and religious prejudice.
In spite of this, however, Jews sit in the seats of the mighty throughout the world. So thoroughly organized are they that there is not an avenue of influence through which they cannot direct their defense. On the boards of great banks and corporations they rule with the dollar power. When segregation looms they meet it with the argument of possession. They meet cultural arrogance with cultural excellence and politically are so united that a handful manage to often become the balance of power. In Memphis, Tennessee, for instance, where there are 5,000 Jews, 65,000 Negroes and 85,000 gentiles. AND WHERE ALL MAY VOTE, the 5,000 Jews have representatives on every important municipal board in the city, while the Negroes have none.
Presenting a united front and using the money power to fight their battles, the Jewish race has been able to hold its own throughout the world. This successful remedy for prejudice might not be a bad one for the Negro to think about.

Maryland is a great old State, this nobody can deny. It is the most beautiful and jammed with the sons of the State, which almost surrounds Washington. It owes its names to a person
Since the time of the Calverto, the Lords of Baltimore, the legends and history of this territory has been rife with the names of famous personages. John Carrolton, the only member of the Continental Congress who had the "guns" to put his address down with his name; General Howard of Revolutionary fame; Francis Cotter, Star Shipstaffed banner, but who composed it amidst the rocket's red glare.
Then we must consider the War Vets on both sides, formost of whom was Admiral Schley. The lesser lights would be used, such as saddlers as Aaron Burr, James Cardinal Gibbons, Charles J. Jonaphae, Arthur Pue Gorman, Chief Justice Tanney, who said it, is said, "No Negro has any rights that a white man has to respect," and so on and so on.
If I had the space and the time and knew of some more I could go on enumerating them until the end of the week, but not 'knowing' on any more than then. If the John Mahon, I will cut out for the press and take up the cause of the darker section of the parade.
Abraham Lincoln said, "No country could exist half-save and half-free," and I say no State can exist half white. There must be some Negroes in the land and be a State which must be in the vanguard of all other States, necessarily had to have some sons of Ham from the beginning.
And I must say we had some very good ones, including f. Aalderidge, the famous astronomer; Henry Highland Garnett; Matthew Henson, the only living human whose coat of fur was thick enough to keep him warm until he reached the North Pole; and the allied king master ever known in the world's history; Thomas R. Smith, the supreme politician of the two hemispheres and the islands of the seas, and Bishop Abraham Lincoln Gaines, our latest preacher of the APRO says. That is to say, we are matching the white folk, man for man, or in other words, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
But we are going deeper, hear me. Euble Blake, one of the favorite sons of East Baltimore, a musician, is now the lively baker by trade and an inventor of new sound combinations by occupation is here with us this week. After this week's engagement Euble's name goes up with other artists who have trained great heights by mentorship works and endeavors. Euble started out playing "Jesus Lover of My Soul," on a broken down organ in a house on Bond street.

Now he is one of the leading lights of the musical world, is all dressed up, has plenty of dough and can't get

He will be the night.

Bishop Gaines
I am a man who believes in giving credit where credit is due, regardless of the circumstances. As
long as I pursue this policy I must
suspend my obsession. If I snub nobody,
I must consider Bishop Gaines. Bishop
Gaines must be considered for two reasons: First because he is a Bishop, second because he was successful in being sent to some place where a human being can live in peace.
As is the custom in the A. M. E.
Church to give the new Bishop the territory least desired by the old bishops. Up until the present the rate has worked on errantly, but
the new Bishop is more successful. When the new Bishop goes to look after his episcopal duties in a way he will be on a vacation, especially if his duties have to be attended to before the colder "months" of the year.
Bishop Gaines is the bishop of a new territory which has just been indicted by the A. M. E. Church, South America, that is to say any or all parts of South America where Aunt Elisa's children are located. His territory also takes in the city of New York, all it, the new Bishop should enjoy the experience. I was always of the opinion he would get something good if he got it at all, but I don't think he would why they didn't let Bishop Karson in on those wet countries. Bishop Gaines is a dry.

His duties with these two constituencies obligations were just a trifle more than flesh and blood could stand, so consequently Mr. Thomas withdrew to take up less arduous tasks. In view of the services rendered by the speaker of the house, in the days when a dollar was a dollar, Mr. Thomas has been employed to serve in the Democratic Club in Buffalo and has been given authority to help
win the Buffalo delegation to the Democratic Convention in New York, where he will be Democratic Party is thankful to have such a resolute and resourceful young man at the helm at this moment when their chances for a national success seem better than ever.

KELLY MILLER SAYS

The soldier bonus bill enacted into law last week means $200,000,000 for colored soldiers. It is the largest sum given to them at a single time in history. Some of it will be misused, but allowing for all possible extravagance, the residue will be applied for the substantial economic betterment of the whole race.
The Soldiers' Bonus Bill has passed both houses of Congress, overriding the President's veto by unprecedented unilateral action to over four to one, and the Senate by more than the constitutional two-thirds. The party in power has never before been confronted by such a predilection.
President Coolidge will be nominated by all but a unanimous voice. His patriotism and sincerity are universally extolled. He is not only the incarnate of the American standard bearer of his party. And yet the most vital acts of his administration are disapproved by the very people who expect to follow him to victory in the approaching campaign.
There can be no doubt that the people demanded the bonus. Few Senators or representatives dare face their constituents with a negative discipline was thrown to the wind. Any shrewd politician knows that it is better politics to please his constituency than to obey the behests of the party or to do the work. Although most of Mr. Coolidge's favored measures are discounted by Congress, yet he loses nothing in prestige by his party or by the country. The press of the country has generally been against the party, but critics quite effectively control the voice of the press, which is no longer the voice of the people.
The Literary Digest at a probidious labor and expense secured a straw vote of several million people on the issue of feeling the turns showed about two to one against the measure. But the readers of the Digest constitute a certain high class that fails to recognize the feeling of the average American citizen.
The members of Congress know better than any one else what the people demand. They must appeal to the people to quit their shrewdly figured it out that a vote against the bonus meant retirement to private life after the next election. Truly the people are going to the ground. He gathers the fore rumbling of coming events.
I read Coolidge in his vote message presented a pointed and statisticianic document. Indeed it showed the 'coolidge motte. This is without doubt the ablest state statement in his person. But abstract statements ship is one thing and practical politics another.
The controlling class which manages and manipulates the great industries of the country and the wealthier portion of the population which would be called upon to make the largest immediate contribution to the bonus fund naturally enough protest most loudly. But Congress with ear to the ground prefers to heed the warning of the voters rather than the admiration of the lords of wealth and of industry.
They tell us that ultimately the poor man will be called upon to hear the brunt of the burden. The common mind however has a very feeble imagination. It cannot see or feel a conclusion that is too far removed from the premise. Indirect taxation is always more easily imposed than direct taxation. The wage earners would rather receive the stipend in their own hands even if they have to return it to the State either directly or indirectly.
After all has been said and done that we can say or do, politics is not the interest. Hancock was not far wrong when he said that the trump was a local issue. People vote for the interest of their group and section. The Columbus always advocate free trade while sugar planters in Louisiana contend for protection. The people in the northeastern States represent the manufacturing industry that thrives on that doctrine. The planters in the interests of their products. The laboring man advocates measures that promote the wages and wages of labor. It is human nature that the laborers' appreciation of his own best welfare. $200,000 FOR THE NEGRO
According to the terms of the bonus the Negro race is entitled to at least two hundred million dollars of the allowance. This is the money that he has ever allotted to this group.
They are fully entitled to this benefit by all of the rules of the game given to him, and man has never for his own playman's argument that has been advanced for the bonus applies with full force to the case of the Negro, while some contensions affect him but feebly. All of the learned arguments advanced by President Coolidge appear in the main to the white man who did not participate in the war. The Negro was given weight with the profiteer who made millions out of that world conflict. The Negro's patriotism and loyalty were displayed under circumflation which no other class of American citizens was called upon to undergo. He received nothing out of the struggle except humiliation and profiteer. The bonus comes to him.

as a just and equitable partial compensation for his altruist devotion to country while others were fattening their purse out of the nation's misfortune. Of this house will be misused. A large part of it will speedily return to the lord who gave it. But allowing for all possible extravagance and misuse a large residue will abide for the substantial economic betterment of the
CONGRESS ACTED WISELY
The Republican senators acted wisely in overriding the presidential veto as a matter of party policy. The issue has been taken out of the presidential field and fished fact. It is needless to drug the issue through the approaching campaign. Both parties will claim credit for the accountant's comments to it, for it's majority of both Democrats and Republicans voted for the measure in the first and in the final instance. It is therefore an non-partisan victory. Had the Republicans upheld President Coolidge's veto, and had gone before the country in the fall on the issue of the bonus, it would have been needless to put a ticket to the field. The Republican congressman congrueed Mr. Coolidge from himself.
COOLIDGE INHERITANCE
President Coulidge inherited his attitude on the bonus. There was no other stand that he could have taken. He was involved in a political delicua of which he could grasp only one horn. All must honor him for the consistency and the sincerity of his position. But he has been saved from a perilous situation by negativing his negative. And the bonus been made a clear cut issue in the coming campaign the Negro voter would have been left no choice. The bonus is the biggest benefit that is likely to come to the Negro race in this generation. The intelligent Negro could advise a vote against it unless the espousing party presented impossible counter-calling disadvantages.
The Negro is naturally altruistic. He votes for the welfare of the party without reference to the speeches of the leaders, and the leaders feel satisfied if they succeed in securing the insertion of a meaningless plank in the party platform which appeals to and appeases the party members, only the election is open.
Such matters of vital racial importance as the fair and impartial enforcement of the civil rights of the eligible seventh amendment, or the bonus bill are passed over by our leaders in the political field and left to the manipulation of the party bosses whose interest in New England may go beyond election day.
But the time fast approaches when the men who pretend to occupy the high places of political power practice things which will benefit their immediate constituents.
The initiative of New England's protective policy would hardly be long tenure of power. The white politician is carefully minded. His concrete material interests must come first and foremost. The are shown in terms that are concrete and material.
But the Negro has always placed abstract rights before material advantage. In this attitude he has been absolutely correct and sound, and he has stood for human rights, the Negro politician might well say, "You may take the material concerns, give my man my rights." The Negro must demand rights no longer figure essentially in either of the contending parties. It has become purely and simply a matter of materiality. The Negro must demand his equitable share. When the showers of blessings are falling he must not fail to ask that some of the droppings shall fall even upon us. He must demand what that comes his way. He cannot be so deferential, even to please so good a leader as president Coolidge, as to yield the only real assurance, in which he can reassure hope to secure from the political game.
No one would think of asking the Western farmer to forego his agricultural advantage for the benefit of purity exigencies. The benefit of purity exigencies so abundantly set forth by Mr. Coolidge, to sacrifice the benefit of the bonus to the higher patriotic ideal fell upon dears. The Negro, too, is becoming increasingly fiery or ultratic; a condition can wean him from a winneth. I of a two hundred million dollar bonus that is about to fall in his lap.

Jackson, Jr. and the principal speaker at the annual inter-racial meeting held by the Atlantic City Chamber of Commerce, held so that conditions may be discussed in order that a more friendly relation exist among the races. "The Negro only asks the nation to live up to the promise of the Negro Sanborn, "we are linked to a common destiny and should come to a common working agreement. Adjustment of races and nations coincide with the one great question of today. The Negro was the greatest non-deferment of the World War. Book clubs could earn a dollar in the South and could not spend it; the Negro could spend a dollar in the North but could not commit to the Negro's migration from the South to the North and there came in contact with industry. They are learning the art of sum and subtraction and the problem is to treat them according to the formula of American citizenship. You need not worry about identity and security will take adjustment.
"The white man and the Negro are closer together than any other of the races. Their aims. They want to help in the same way conform to the same institutions and follow the same industries." Prof. Miller erased a profound imbalance between the heirs who were numerous in their expressions that good would result from this heart to heart talk among them. Miller's education as a solution for many of the intricate race problems and also made a plan for better housing conditions in 75 and 100 colored citizens attended this meeting. Benjamin G. Fitzgerald, republished to be one of the wealthiest Negroes in New Jersey and the largest in the city of Commerce, acted as spokesman and presided. The meeting was held on Friday at 10 a.m. Prof. Miller delivered his famous "Xero-Sambir-din" lecture before a large audience at Fitzgerald's Auditorium at Johns Hopkins University. Lawyer James Sollman presided.

When does a man have to keep his word? When no one will take it, the yard is thought by the yard and worn by the foot. A carpet, how do bees dispose of their honey? They cell it.

Just about that time a sister from his family jumped up and says, "I was in brother pastor and friend, I would have spoke or died"—Mrs. Carroll M. Booker, 219 W. Hofman street.

PRIZE WINNER
The other day I was writing a love letter to send to the AFRO. At an unexpected hour for my husband's arrival, he surprised me by coming home early, and to have a little fun, as we always are. I appeared to be hiding what I was writing.
My husband, of whom I am very fond, in other words daffy about, walked to my desk and said quietly, "What are you writing, dear?" I answered, "Oh, nothing important."
He demanded to see, so when I showed him the love letter, he gasped. Why did he think this one out? And to carry my joke, I yet acted as though I were in the wrong. Finally I thought the joke had gone far enough; I then explained to my husband that it was only a make-believe love letter. For a while he looked at the joke, and to see that, I began pleading and crying for him to believe me.
Finally I fainted. When I came to myself, my husband had me in his arms, saying, "Dear, I've always trusted you, and will continue, but until you had me guessing that time." I finished my love letter, and my husband mailed it—Verona Thomas, Mt. Kisco, N. Y.

Dear Annie—I am in love with a young man three years my senior, but I have not known him long. I had one date with him and he did not fill it. I have seen him since then, and he asked me for a date and I did not give him one. Did I do right? His reason for not coming was that his car was broken and he could not get it fixed, but he lives within walking distance. How should I treat him while I am with him?
BROWN EYES.
You did right. The best way for you to treat him is with friendly indifference.
Dear Annie Roney—I am 25 and a college graduate. All my life I have been sheltered. I am not allowed to go to dances and parties. I would make a good wife and mother, as I have been trained in housekeeping and am always well prepared. I have been away enough to want some. I have been away from here for several years and have drifted away from my old friends. Now, my problem is how to meet some of the attractive men that I know must live or work here. I don't care about a man with lots of money, as I am capable enough to manage on a small income. What I do desire is the companionship of a man with high ideals. Now don't suggest church as a possible meeting place, as I attend, and all the young men are married. As I don't work, I can't meet anyone that way.
There is always the possibility of flirting and "picking up" some one on the street, but I consider myself above such tactics. I am not absolutely hopeless as to disposition or looks, as three men have wanted to marry me; but two my parents don't understand the third I couldn't care enough for.
Teacher for the Fairy Prince.
You must have a few men and women friends. Your friends have friends and their friends have friends. If you will but entertain people whom you like in your home occasionally, they will invite you to their homes in return, and, no doubt, invite some other people at the same time. You will meet your circle and in a short time meet a few kindred spirits. You would not stoop to flirtation, I am sure.

Little Willie's father sent him to church alone one Sunday morning, and to be sure that Willie had gone, when he came home his father asked him what the preacher's text said, and his father that the text was "Don't worry, you'll get your guilt."
The boy's father was sure there was no text in the Bible like this, and he started to whip the little boy for not having gone to church, as he thought. However, on second thought, he decided to call the minister on the phone and ask him what his text was, and if he saw little Willie at church. The minister replied, "Willie was at church and was very attentive to the services. eH wrote down my text when I announced it, and it was, 'Fear not, I will send you a comforter'"—Josephine R. Nichols, Princess Anne Academy, Princess Anne, Md.

For the Backyard Gardener
While preparing a plot of garden ground which will be worked by hand weeding and hoeing, I used the garden rake for spencer and marker and used the clothespins to clothe the opposite way of the rake teeth and it worked fine.

How to Cook Potatoes
Potatoes should be put on to cook in salted, boiling water. Salt added at the beginning of the cooking reheating of mineral matter about one-third.

Sunshine Cake
This is a tested and tried recipe.
Beat the whites and yolks of 7 eggs
separately. When the whites are
partly beaten, add 1 teaspoon of cream
of tartar and beat them until stiff.
Add 1 cup of sugar which has been
sifted 4 times; then the beaten
and in cup of teaspoon, fold in
the cream which has been sifted
4 times. Put in an angel-food pan
and lake 1 hour.
Cream Puffs
This is my favorite recipe for cream puffs, and all made over this recipe are surely good. Melt ½ cup of butter in 1 cup of hot water. Place this on the stove to boil and stir in 1 cup of flour, stirring constantly until the mixture is thick. Remove it from the stove and add 1 teaspoon of baking powder and mix thoroughly. When cool add 3 eggs one at a time, heating well after each one. Drop by spoonfuls on well buttered tin and bake for 15 minutes. Cut open and fill with either sweetened whipped cream or cream pie filling.
Rhubarb Pudding
A good dish for the children in the spring is a rhubarb pudding, which gives them needed food tonic in an attractive form. Butter thin slices of dry bread, and put them in a deep pudding dish. Then cut rhubarb into small pieces and make a layer of that. Sprinkle with sugar, then add a layer of the bread, a layer of rhubarb and sugar, and so on until as deep as you wish, with bread crumbs on top. If closely and bake off in oil, then add a layer of cold with a sauce made of brown sugar and water cooked together.
Fudge Cake
Cream together 2 eggs and 1 cup of white sugar, melt 2 squares of chocolate and add to eggs and sugar. Then add ½ cup sifted hour, 1 cup chopped nuts (English walnuts), teaspoon vanilla and bake in a sheet 20 minutes in moderate oven. Cut in squares when cool.
Nut Bread
4 cups flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, $\frac{3}{4}$ cup sugar, 2 scant cups milk, 1 cup chopped nuts, 2 eggs, teaspoon salt. Mix ingredients together. Bake eggs a little, add milk. Beat all together, use 1/4 cup water. Bake 1 hour in the microwave oven. Very nice for afternoon tea.

PREVENTS SOUR POTATOES
Do not pile left-over cooked potatoes together, as they will soon sour. Spread them out on a platter.

THIS SAVES BUTTER
When making cakes or cookies and the recipe calls for butter, I find lard is good if a pinch of salt is added. The salt kills the "hardy" taste.

Before placing cut flowers in a vase of water, dissolve one-half of water. This preserves them for a long time. Even sweet peas will not fade for several days.

POOR LIL CAROLIN
By Ben Goodlow
That Carolin' Essex, deserted wife of George Essex, is now engaged in telling her story, a story of childhood love and misfortune. That she is telling this story to her husband and before the man whose relations with her her husband has questioned. That this story involves the people of her birthplace, rustic, simple which acquires of Carolin' welfare, simple toughest boy, Foyd Darrow. That the townspeople were jealous of Carolin' because she had been off to school and had acquired a polish not natural to the village girls. That they were glad to tell the world strange things about her and Floyd, who later went to war.
"I permitted Floyd to take me to Greasywood. It was there dances. This action raised quite a purchased a flask of whiskey how all over the community. The man whom everybody knew best young people of the town lam, very poor whiskey, I though pooled me roundly for running around with a young ruffin. But the more they ridiculed Floyd the more they to him. I wanted to be loyal and steadfast, you see. I wanted to be honest with him as well as home again. Bradshaw was piled in slumber. The marring had long ceased to ring. My was waiting up for me. He
"Time went on, but the situation did not change much. Malicious enemies were making trouble for Floyd, getting him into scrape several times with the sheriff and his deputies, but they could not shake my faith in him. Once or twice he was thrown in jail for fighting, own right, sent to a prison farm. He was innocent of the charge but guilty of being Floyd Darrow. How much more they would have persecuted him is hard to say, but the advent of war gave them something more serious to think about. Floyd was drafted as were thousands and thousands of other men from our state. He was put into a uniform and sent to the white wall, white and black folk swarmed around him with cheers, and tears, and praise. They forgot their hatred of him. They only remembered that he was about to offer himself to his country.
"With Floyd's entrance into the army, my father's attitude changed a bit. He began to see Floyd in a new light. He began to realize, after all, that Floyd was a man—an American citizen—and was entitled to the respect due an American citizen.
"But when Floyd came back: Need I describe the horrible disillusionment He went away as Floyd Darrow, of the army; he came back as Floyd Darrow, of Bradshaw. Those who had cheered him on his departure now forgot that they had cheered him. They only remembered that he was Floyd Darrow, undesirable townman. He came back early in February of the year after he was born, and he went a month after his return his sister, Maisie, was married to a nice young fellow from Atlanta. It was the prettiest wedding ever staged in our district. Many people were there. Among them were Floyd and myself. After the ceremony and the reception and everything Floyd and I, just for the fun of the thing, snuck away from the others and went for a short auto spin. Floyd owned a flivver, you know; not a wonderful one, but a second-hand one which he had purchased cheap things so we decided to make it a good spin instead of just a mere circle of a few blocks. So we rode a long way,—far out into the country. It was. a March night, but it was not cold. There was a good moon and a billion stars. It was like floating on downy clouds. We stopped at a little settlement named
Tested Beauty Hints
Spring days are always busy ones for housekeepers, and with house-cleaning, gardening, and one hands-on activity, your bed, bath, mula for a lotion is fine for whitening and softening the hands after hard, dirty work; One ounce peroxide is better than a quarter cup bay rum, ¼ ounce glycerine, and the juice of 1 lemon.
Simply wash the hands thoroughly with warm soft water and soap and apply the lotion. Use it liberally and then more than pleased with the result.

Greaswood. It was there Floyd揽了一袋 of whiskey from a man whom everybody knew to be a boozeologist, who meant of, was whiskey. I thought that, because I had never drank any, to speak of, before that night. It was after 2 o'clock before we reached home again. Bradshaw was wrapped in slumber. The marriage bells had long ceased to ring. My father was waiting up to me but after Floyd had gone, he heat me terribly. All the hatred that he had ever entertained for Floyd—the hatred that had nolowed somewhat during the war—returned to him with added vigor. That night he acted like a mad man. For weeks after that I was not permitted to see him, but after Floyd had gone, he told him that Floyd had played the gentleman throne that evening, had treated me with all the respect and courtesy that a man can extend to the woman who trusts him, but he would not believe. So earnestly did I plead Floyd's cause that hinally, one night, my father came on me with a look at his house with the knowledge that he was done with me forever. All that night I hovered at our front door, when the air grew too chill I sought shelter in a little outbuilding. Next morning I tried to plead with him, reason with him, but he drove me away, he called down horrible neighbors to witness that he was no longer responsible as my father. It was the worst blow that I had ever received.
"I sought shelter among the people who had always been friends of ours—the folks that attended our church—but they gently and firmly told me that it would be impossible for them to take me in now, as I wanted to be with my parents. I turned to my younger friends—those whom I had come up with—but they rejected me vicious. It was not because of my father but these rejected me—it was because of my regard for Boyd Darrow. Now what else was there for me to do? I had to go to a place to shear and had to do something. So I went to Maisie—a beeger.
"As I told you before, she had married a very nice young man from Atlanta. He was far different in appearance and manners to the average Brandshaw beast. He possessed unusual intelligence. When Maisie explained our childhood friendship to him, and asked him to allow me to see him, she did not reject the petition. In fact, he was very gracious about it. So I went to live with Maisie.
"In the eyes of my former friends my decision to dwell with Maisie was steeped in folly. Not that they had anything against Maisie she was highly thought of—but because of the fact that Floyd Darrow was the only one to begin to realize the tenor of the song, till it dawned upon me that Floyd was a frequent visitor at his sister's house. Ottimes he would take his meals there, paying for them. He claimed he did this to help his sister along. When he dined there he naturally ate at the same table and at the same time that I did. These days he was a week at first, but after a little he began to eat all of his meals there. This, of course, called for many visits. He was a guest in our houses as often as three times a day.
"You must understand how I felt. You must have some idea of what the neighbors were saying! I tried to make him look at it from that

EVERY MAN WHO H FORCE OF YOUTH
Scientists Make Wonderful Under 100 Years
A new discovery is said to have been made by a scientific study of erbian mountain people who scientists say, live longer than any other people. It is said this discovery should add many years to lives of people in all parts of the world and quickly restore many strength, youthful vigor, grace and beauty lost by neglect or abuse. Scientists agree that the secret of health and vigor lies in the internal glands and if these glands are stimulated and kept in normal activity, man might live forever and alliments such as tired worn-out feeling, weakness, nervous liability, salow complexion, loss of weight, poor memory, premature senility, scrawy neck restlessness at night, pains, headache, melancho or despondency etc. should disappear.

angle, but he had reached that stage where he did not care what folks said about him, so long as they did not lay violent hands upon his person. He merely tugged at my suggestions—not in a disrespectful manner—but in the way of a man embittered. I argued and reasoned with him for a period to no avail, so finally I grew weary of it and in time reached that level where, like himself, I did not care, that we began to believe that everything was apologetic and the only reason for me to secure any happiness at all was to cling together in love. We would live for each other only. In the Spring we planned to migrate to a Northern city, where we could live our lives unmolested by poison tongues and ranking hearts. We vowed to be as one forever. I do not believe Malis's husband liked it very well, but he did not protest. He ignored us as people are supposed to ignore levers, as was very, very
"After a while Floyd went to another state to work on a public job, as lucrative work was scarcere in Bradshaw at that time. I was after his departure that time. The very atmosphere was thick wit humors and gossips, and I was the target. Had it been almost any other girl in that village—one of the little unlettered creatures that had never been away to school and had never acquired that enviable big smile—there were different. Those girls are not expected to know. But I was educated, refined, the daughter of a bigoted man who stood well with the white folks, and, of course, these smoos and fondled were going to hold me up as high as they could as an exam. She was a girl as well as an exam she allows her own conscience to guide her love affairs.
"But I could not ignore the stories altogether. I sensed the precarieness of my position. So believing Floyd to be my only true friend, I wrote a letter to him, urging him to come back to me, as my need for help was growing. I took his time about returning. He was making good money and did not want to leave so abruptly. I wrote other letters and prayer for his return. Meanwhile my ill-wishers were mecking me with their tales and gossip. Once I had a notion to appeal to my father, but I knew that she was not interested. Finally, however, Floyd returned. As he walked from the little depot to his sister's residence, the natives stared at him beeringly. Reaching me, he demanded to know why I bid sent for him so hurriedly. I told him without reserve. He was a trifle out, but he was a gentleman. He promised me that he would give these weaving tongues, and then we would go North and never return. (To Pa Continued Next Week.)

SAM LANGFORD SEES FOR THE FIRST TIME
Cataract Covering One
Good Eve Removed
by Specialist's
Liquid
YELLS "I CAN SEE!"
Once Great Fighter, Boyishly Happy, Causes
Friends to Weep
(By Hype Igoe in N. Y. World)
Sam Langford walked out of an eye specialist's "dark room" yesterday afternoon after a three-hour examination and preliminary treatment of his right eye, and standing on the top step of the doctor's front stoop, pointed across the street and fairly yelled. "Doctor, I can SEE. There's a yellow taxicab. I can SEE for the first time in seven years."
Tears ran down Langford's bronzed cheeks as he stood blinking in the sun with the one eye that this good swatman and spearman can save.
Sam will never have the use of his left eye. That was determined after a careful examination. It is lightless for all time. No operation was performed and this will not be done until Langford goes under another examination next Tuesday. A dull, dropped into the eye, brought about temporary vision in, but vicious cataract had spread directly over the pupil of the right eye, causing a condition that amounted to almost total blindness. After Sam had been under examination for almost three hours, the specialist who hopes to restore Sam's right eye to normality, placed a liquid in the eye tormented by the cataract. Sam was walked from his dark room, into the light, for a time the once great fighter blinked in the light that poured through a window. "Sam, can you see anything?" asked the doctor.
"I can and I can't: because I see a blur of light," answered Sam. "Well you're facing a strong light. I'd expect the blur. Turn your back on that window and see what you can see."
Sam turned as directed and facing a large glass cabinet fourteen feet away, wondering how wonderfully his face lighted up to a wonderful smile. "What do you see, Sam?"
"I see a big book case full of anges," said Langford. "Golly, boys, I can SEE!"
Object after object was pointed out and Langford identified them. the doctor pointed to a large thermometer and Langford said: "that's a thermometer all right. I tell you the numbers, Doctor, I can see the black lines separating them."
"Sam," said the doctor slapping an戈ford on the back; "we go get the examination. You come back here Tuesday. This hald is making you see the time being. You'll not be able to see at all in a day or so,
ut that is to be expected under the circumstances. Tuesday I will now whether we can help your eye without an operation. It may like a double operation to remove the eye, and may have to go above the eye and remove it. Again, may respond to the treatment I have just given it, in which case we won't have to cut." "I'd love that last, though I'm not a coward, doctor," said Sam. It a saugh. Now, we're going out in the street, Sum, the doctor told Langord. The Woodman reached for Sam's arm to guide him.
"Oh, you'll not have to lead Sam the bear being told," said the specialist. "Better pull your hat down over that good eye though. Sam, he's going to see the bright sun for the first time in a long white. Up there he be like a giant jelly mummy. Langford walked quickly to the door, reached for the knob and opened it. Standing on the top top of the stoop with Woodman in one side of him and the specialist on the other, Langford looked into the daylight.
He fairly trembled all over as he gazed straight out and across the street. Just then the yellow cab comed by. Then it was that Sam continued at bottom of next column)

INTER-COM
Cambridge, Mass., May 24—Snatching four and one-half points out of two bitterly contested events in the 88th Annual New England Track and Field Championships, held at Tech Field. Friday and Saturday Charlie Drew, Amherst's colored football star wrote his team up into 10th place in a field of 23 competing colleges.
By the ability of the Amherst grid performer to hop into a track uniform and smash through for two touchdowns into the scoring column Saturday afternoon, saved his team from a shut-out. Hurrying directly from the high jump stands, while Hildreth, of Bowdoin, was still contesting there his heap of 5. 10 to the start of the high jump hurdles, the versatile Amherst, wrote manage to flash through for a second place on the sticks.
in the Bob Merrick, of the Boston Collegiate, which annexed the team championship, barely nosed out Drew to win the event. The time was clocked at 16.3, two-fifths of a second slower than Drew's time in winning his hurdles heat the day before.
The three points which the colored boy picked up in the timber-topping added to the point and a half which he scooped from the high jump to make up the total of Amherst's four and one-half points from the meet. The Drew effort of 5 ft. in the tall leap was tied by Hildreth, of Bowdow, but the Maine collegian failed in three tries to better the colored truckster's
Newark, Del. May 24-Charles West of Washington and Jefferson broke the Middle States javelin recorded here today with a throw of 179 ft. 10 in. in the track and field meet on Frazier Field, University of Delaware today.
West was second in the broad jump, the winner leaning 21 ft. 6 in. In the shot put, West was .4th. Winners distance 41 ft. 7 in.
Langford saw an object more than two feet away from him for the first time in more than seven years. The doctor followed him right down to the sidewalk. He seemed to be as happy as the good start at restoring Sam's vision as the old man himself. Then Woodman and Langford started to walk to Broadway. Sam would not be led.
"I can see, Joe. I can see, boy, Don't me, lead me. I can see."
The two walked to the corner, where Sam turned and went into a cigar store and purchased a long knife. Then he got into a cab with Woodman. On the way down town to Woodman's office Sam laughed like a schoolboy.
"Goodness, me," said Sam. "I can write my girl in Los Angeles now and tell her that I saw the doctor—saw him for shore—saw the yellow cab and—and"—here, still wondering about Sam's sight, point-of-the-cab window and asked:
"What's that in front of us, Sam?"
"That's a big oil truck and it's PAINTED RED!" said Sam, and he lay back and laughed till he fainted. Woodman said afterwards that he bough a leather known Langford to be so happy.
"I knew the doctor had worked wonders in this first treatment," said Woodman, "but I was certain of it when Sam pointed out the big red oil truck. It was good to hear the old fellow laugh with joy. Say, he had me swallowing a dozen Adam's apples. It's all just fine. I didn't believe that you could bring as much happiness into a man's life. It was worth while, well worth while. Just as Langford reached Woodman's office a man of his own race walked in. He made himself known. "I'm Charley Anderson. Work down in the Internal Revenue office. John E. Madden, the horseman, is my good friend. He named a horse after me. He admired you as a boxer, he. Langford gave me $50 with a request that I get it to you. Here it is, with Mr. Madden's best wishes for your eyesight."
Bob Feeney, of Boston, came down on a 3 o'clock train, called on Langford and handed him $100 in cash and a gold watch. The watch had been stolen from Langford in Boston, and Feeney ran it down in Boston pawnshops.
"All the luck in the world to you, Sam," he said as he handed Langford the money and the watch. He was on his way back to Boston on the 5 o'clock train.

mark. With Boston, College and Williams already signed up for first and second in the event, Drew tried hard to break the tie and give his team the full two points of a straight third place. It was while the colored jumper was disputing the points with the Maine collegian that the call for the high hurdles was sounded, and he was forced to hurry over to the starting line. The lunge that ended that yet was turgid. New England track and field championship meet saw four other colored athletes fighting 16 places in the long list of events. Of the seven Amherst representatives who qualified in the finals, three were colored. In addition, Tufts College sent Randolph Taylor, 28, into the century and turlong dashes, while the Massachusetts institute of technology entered Marion For. 272 of the four found the long stuff in the qualifying rounds. Fort, for Tech, leaped 5 ft. 7 1-2 inches in the tall lift, just two inches short of the qualifying mark.
Charlie Drew met the judges' approval in three events in the Friday trials, taking firsts in the 120 yard high hurdles and the high jump. Of Amherst's other two colored qualifiers, Gilmer drew the eye of the crowd when he coasted in abound of a field of six stiflers in his backyard in 10 1/5 seconds, while stepping an easy third in the furling. A pulled tendon robbed him of his chance to duplicate Saturday. Bill Hastie, of Amherst, qualified in the 440 trials Friday, but lost out in Saturday's finals.
(Continued from page 16)
When the melee was over they were all in the station house. Lampson admitted snatching the five spot but contended that he deserved it for past performances and would not tell him where she secured it. He was fined $5 and costs.

BROOKLYN ROYAL GIANTS FIRED OUT OF EASTERN LEAGUE
After Commissioners Take Dractic Action
Philadelphia, May 24—The Commissioners of the Mutual Association of Eastern Colored Baseball Clubs met in a special session at the Southwest Branch of the Y. M. C. A. and voted the Brooklyn Royal Giants out of the Eastern Circuit. The specially appointed chairman of the board was occasioned by the fact that the management of the Royal Giants refused to play out the schedule drafted and adopted by the Commissioners.
Nat C. Strong, owner of the Brooklyn outfit, and one of the Commissioners who helped to map out the schedule complacently by his absence at the meeting. Also Alex. Pompez, leader of the Cuban Stars, was among the missing. His absence, however, was accounted for by the fact that the Cubans were playing on an extended road trip and compelled him to stick to his club.
final home dates for all Les clubs will stand, but where Royal Giants were scheduled date will be filled by another leaf attraction and the quotation of gas per club will be increased accordingly.
LINCOLNERS CRAWL BACK
The Brooklyn Royal Giants have been reinacted into the Eastern League and will play games with the Lincoln Giants.
After being ousted from the last week for refusing to play the Lincoln Giants, Nat Strook, Brooklyn Royal Giants, rest their former standing at a special meeting of the league office Monday night, in Philadelphia.
After Nat Strong found out that the league had not played on airlines, and after getting communication with Bolden here Baltimore, last Sunday with the
Pompey, however, was represented by proxy, who advised that the Cubans' intentions were to stick to the League and abide by their rulings. Commissioners Tom Jackson, Charles Spreadel from Keesan to Tacobo, Colonel Struktur and Chairman Ed. Bolden comprised the gathering.
Petty Personal Grievance
Strong offered to continue with the organization, but refusing point blank to play out the scheduled games between the Royal Glants and the Lincoln Glants, he gifted credence, is the fact that strong personal feeling between Nat Strong and Jim Keenan had become so strained that rather than play his club against the Lincoln Glants, the Royal junior partner held his club a position to be ousted from the Eastern Circuit.
Schedule To Be Revised
Showing action of varied nature the Commissioners picked a committee to ratify and revised the League schedule. The meeting held the night before day since the Brooklyn Royal Giants were a traveling club without a home park, it simply dwindled down to the fact that the orl-
original home dates for all League clubs will stand, but where the Royal Giants were scheduled the data will be filled by another leagueuction and the quota of games per club will be increased accordingly.
LINCOLNERS CRAWL BACK
The Brooklyn Royal Giants have been reinstated into the Eastern League, and will play out the scheduled games with the Lincoln Giants. The league last week for refusing to play with the Lincoln Giants, Nat Strong's Brooklyn Royal Giants were restored to their former standing at a special meeting of the league officials Monday night. Strong found out that the league meant business, he got busy on the wires, and after getting in communication with Bolden here in Baltimore, last Sunday with the Hillsdale, the special meeting was called, makes the league function as planned.
'JACK'S' DOG HATES GIN, LIKES "LIKKER"
Chicago, May 29. (Whip News Service)—Jack Johnson's big police dog has a peculiar taste. In fact, he has a rather expensive taste for the big beast like only "good stuff." Just to show how keen the dog's sight is on a bottle, a friend of Jack's filled one bottle with water. The dog barked when shown the bottle containing tea, and when the "white" one was pushed at him he ran away. Quite an expensive eyesight for a dog.

Through the munificence of friends and admirers in various parts of the country, Sam Langford, once great fighter, arrived in New York last week to meet Sam Is in New York to undergo treatment and an operation on his eye with the hope of removing a cataract. His eye responded wonderfully to the first treatment, and the doctor is hopeful of being able to save the member. Sam saw objects last week for the first time in seven years and it is said his overwhelming joy was enough to make many old timers swallow hard.

COPS SAVE UMP FROM FANS
5,000 Rush To Mob Aubrey When He Forfeits The Second Game To Hilldale
Britt Lets Darbyites Down
With Three Scattered Hits
In The Opening Game
In the seasons' most thrilling
games, the Black Sox won the first
2.1, and portended the second to Hildale last Sunday, according to Umpire Auberry.
Fully 5,000 fans were on band.
The weather was cool and windy,
while a few overcrowds were in
crowd.
The first game was a pitcher's
battle between Britt and "Red" Ryan.
Britt allowing the visitors only
3 hits while the Sox got 5 off "Red."
The first score came in the fifth
when Britt walked the first two men
up and two sacrifices scored J. Johnson.
By taking advantage of Hildale
crosses in the sixth, the Sox brought
two runs. The rest of the game
was practically hilfess. Britt was in fine form and his twirling was one
of the features of the game.
The only home run of the game was made by Mackey in the forfeited game when he sent the ball over the right field bleachers in the seventh inning. The second game was forfeited in the ninth inning when the score stood 12-9 in favor of Hillebrand. Usually in the seventh inning, the rookers urged that the game be called last Sunday in the seventh when the Sox were ahead 3-7. Aubrey refused and waged warm when Hill sent word that it was too dark to play. This decision came as a distinct shock to the thoughts of fans as the Sox were in and the best hiters were up. Umpire Aubrey announced the game forfeited to the visitors without any other explanation. The fans in a body rushed down upon the field with the cry of "Kill him!" but the timely arrival of the piece forming a circle around their place of wrath saved him from injury.
The forfeited game is expected to be protested, and a sign is hung on the Sex Park reading, "Wanted, an Umpire."

IS WORLD'S CHAMPION HURDLER WHITE?
By Afro Sports Editor
Is Charles R. Brookins, captain of the 1924 varsity track team of the University of Iowa, world's champion hurrier, white or colored? A article appearing in Sporting Life last February, referred to Brookins as colored, but in answer to a question put him by AFROAMERICAN he made the statement that he is not colored, and any one who doubts him to write his father, W. J. Brookins, 60 N. Michigan, told the University Captain Charles West, of Washington and Jefferson University track team, recently said he understood Brookins "passing" for white. Evidently like thousands of other Negroes in this country, Brookins
"BABE" FANS 12
Cambridge, Mass. May 22—Twiring his fifth game for the Harvard varsity, Earl Brown, colored southpaw, fed an Amherst nighth out of his hand, on Soldiers Field this afternoon, batting the visiting shugger down the first pitch. Two mates pounded out a dozen runs behind him, for a 12-3 score. Mixing up a variety of deceptive books, the Crismon lefthander broke over his fist benders with a deadly effectiveness that sent no less than 12 Amherst hasten back to the bench via the strike out route. Three times during the nine innings that he worked, 'take Brown manners' and just three related strikes. He fanned both of the pitch hitters up by the Amherst board of strategy to try their trick against him.

This year the Statistics Board of the State of Virginia became alarmed over the fact that the State had 200,000 people with its own population who belonged to an unclassified group and could either pass for white or colored at will.
The Old Dominion is still in a quandary as to what to do about this state of affairs.
Whether white or colored, Brookins holds the world's record for the 220-yard hard hurdle and on the 16th of this month established a new world record for the 220-yard hard hurdle by the old world's record held by himself by two-tenths of a second.
KINKY QUESTIONS
By PETE HILL
Dear Pete--The following game up last week in a game played here. Please answer through the APRO. Runner on first base, two out. batter gets three base hit and is called out for missing first base. Do runs count? H. M. Frederickson does not count. Answer--he scored while the third out is being made at first. The batter by missing first, has never reached that bag and the ball is thrown there for third out.
Dear Pete--Runners on first and second No outs. Batter hits fly ball to center field, fielder traps the ball, ball is then back to second, is it a double play? F. G., Baltimore.
Answer--The minute the ball was trapped it was a hit and runners on first and second were forced to second and third, respectively.
Dear Pete--Please answer in next week's APRO. Can a pitcher be taken out and sent to the outfield, fielder called in to the back in the box again?
Answer--Yes. A manager may change the positions of his players as he sees fit.
Dear Peto, can a run be scored on a double play with one man out?
Answer: Yes. A run can be scored on a double play but not on a forced double play.
Claflin Faculty Beats Seniors
Orangeburg, S. C., May 22. The faculty of Clifton University crossed bats with the Senior Classes today, defeating them with a score of 10 to 2.
The Senior Classes have a single representative on the baseball team, while the faculty has some ex-ball players who made enviable records during their college days.
Prof. Bryant pitched two innings, but as he was out of condition and failed to deliver goods, was replaced by Rey. Thomas, an alumnus of Clifton. The Seniors did not gain a score after that.
There were many spectacular errors on both sides. Two of the faculty players kept their eyeglasses on and managed to get a hit now and then.
Prof. Doyle, left field, seldom needed to stray from the shade of a huge tree near the fence. Prof. Rivers struck a home run bringing three others in. An added feature was the rooting of G. Whytter, Jr. Prof. Jordons young son, for the professor.

LINCOLN GIANTSTWICE DOWN BACHARACHS
Lincoln Giants eight straight victory put them on top in the Eastern League race. Scales hit his sixth home run.
New York, May 25—The Lincoln Giants walked away with both ends of the doubleheader with the Bacharach Giants before a big crowd at the Catholic Protectory Oval yesterday afternoon. The local players slammed their way on an easy 9 to 1 victory in the early shamrock, while in the late battle they humbled the visitors by a score of 9 to 3.
The Bacharach Giants were not at their best and were guilty of a number of errors. They made 11 hits off Holland in the second game, but failed in the pinches and had many men in on base. The Lincoln Giants got away to a flying start in the first game, scoring five runs in the first inning.

Darby, Pa. May 23. Overcoming a four run lead in the first game of the season between the Bacharach Giants and Hildale, the Atlantic City crew crept up behind the Boldenites in the first half, and then moved in a brace of markers in their half of the sixth, that put the seashore crew in the lead, rain fell in torrents making it necessary to call the game and the score reverted to the fifth inning with the Hildale team enjoying the long end of a 4-0 victory. Even with threatening clouds hanging over the ball park about 4,000 fans wended their way to Hildale Park.

THE BALTIMORE GIANTS WITH Jas. H. Taylor at the helm, are carving a name in baseball circles. They have only lost one game out of 5 played, and are hoping to add the scars of the Community House nine to Saturday, May 31, at Black Sox Park.
RUBE FOSTER OF THE CHICAGO Giants, has raided Wiley University for material. His latest additions are Hines, a catcher and Ware a first baseman, both of the university teams. Rube is hoping to be the biggest in the league for his next meeting with the Monarchs.
Oscar Charleston, manager of the Harrisburg Giants, made some changes in his line-up last week for the good of the team. Pitcheramy and third baseman Ceco Smith were initiated into the order of the tin can.
Jess Barber is back in the fold. George Giuliani is back in third and Pitcheramy is at the hot corner with the same grace and ease as he exhibited in the shortfield. The other of the "Heavenly Twins" Pats Jenkins, is coming in form heavily this spring. "He has not hit his time thus far this season, but when he does start there will be a doleful tune sung in the pitching ranks.

Good Morning Judge
Love might "Send its Little Gift of Roses" to some people, but it is sent Arthur Nichols, Washington, D. C., straight into the jail house of Baltimore.
Ever since Miss Mildeed Jackson, 2142 Division street, who admits that she has been her girl's regular girl since came to Eulippe recently, the son has ceased to shine for him and the nights have been long and boney. After the exchange of several special delivery letters Saturday, Arthur came over to persuade Miss Mildeed to return with him. When a conflict between the teenagers on Saturday afternoon until early Sunday morning failed to bring results, Nichols decided on the dramatic stuff and producing a revolver told Miss Jackson that he would end both her life and his if she did not return to Washington with him.
The "hero" in Nichols' last sentence did not suit Miss Jackson, and she called for police aid. On Monday, Nichols was fired $50 and costs for carrying a concealed weapon and committed to jail.
Mrs. Boyd In Bad Luck
Saturday was "black Saturday" to Mrs. Margaret Boyd, 529 Wilson street. Acting on a bunch that things were not going according to Boyd at the house of Arcelodia Scott, the police officers decided to take a look. The look revealed Mrs. Boyd and Mister Jackson, 1717 McCutchbond street, enjoying a prism party all their own. In other sections of the house were James Johnson, 1392 N. Stricker street, and William Seed, 1034 N. Wolfe street, Mrs. Boyd and Jackson were held for

BISHOP CAREY IS SIGNALLY DEFEATED
By A. B. BUDD
Summary of the results of the recent A. M. E. Conference held at the Aviator, Ky. show that not only was Bisho A. J. Carey signally defeated in his fight to oust Bryant from his post as secretary-treasurer, but the Sunday School union but the bishop himself was transferred from the Tennessee and Kentucky Episcopal District to the West.
This is considered an open ruble to Bishop Carey, whom Bryant had charged, and misused funds of his office, undoubtedly deserved. The fight between the two opened the day before the election of general officers when friends of Bishop Carey moved to bring Bryant to trial for his accusations against J. shops. The resolution carried it a it the time a trial commenced and would have made Bryant inefficient for re-election until the charges were cleared
By an overwhelming vote this motion was laid on the table. When Bryant came up for re-election he received some 284 votes. Since there were only about 175 votes in the conference, nine state late votes with many of the elcegy took sides with Bryant against Bishop Carey. The third defeat for Bishop Carey came when the Episcopal Committee moved him from the Tennessee District, where the district is located to the Missouri, Kansas, Colorado and Nebraska district.
Fight Against Bishops
The spirit of the conference was not to let the French dictate as to what general officers should be elected or what legislation should be passed.] Measures recommended by the bishops met with uniform defeat, except the will to bishops vote. This will ultimately go through at the next general conference. As an example of how this spirit effected the conference vote, Rev. Neah Williams was candidate for missionary secretary. As entertaining pastor and efficient man, he would have been elected over schemingly not just who would be interviewed the bench and he was interviewed under. In the same manner Rev. J. G. Robinson won the post of editor of A. M. E. Review over Coswell Crews.
Stepteau for Honors
With Dr. A. L. Gaines elected to the Bench, sentiment among the members of the Baltimore Conference is that Dr. C. L. Stephens, a former church minister, will join the church. He is one of the older members of the conference, who has stepped aside repeatedly to let Bishop Brooks, or Bishop Gaines, or Bishop Johns go through. His turn will come four years later.
**Woman's Suitrage** — Legislation passed up on every office in the church and general conference to women except the pulpit. They may become trustees and stewardess of the church in the general and annual conference. **Balloting** — The Australian ballot was adopted for election of future general officers. This will mean that every woman and from the church in the same name on, such as is used in the city, state and national elections. No advertising and publicity campaigning for office in the conference will be allowed. **Laymen** — Laymen will send three instead of two delegates to the next conference. **Missionaries** — Money to foreign missionaries. **Slowly department by draft directly to the worker instead of the bishops.** **Bank Deposits** — All funds of the Church departments must be deposited in a national bank, and daily balances must show all interest credited to accounts.
Women with sleeveless dresses and hobbed hair are not eligible for any conference appointments.
Extension—the Church Extension funds may be used for needy churches in foreign lands.
