Number 21 CHE SAVE STANDARD LIFE IS CALL TO BUSINESS Leading Men Of The Country Called To Atlanta Tuesday To Discuss Insurance Affairs S500,000 LOAN REFUSED Condition Of Company Said Not To Be As First Represented. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 16.—Save the Standard Life Insurance Company is the call sent out to the leading business men of the country, assembled here Tuesday in a special conference in the interest of the Standard Life Insurance Company and the Citizens Trust Company, its banking subsidiary. The call of the business men of the country for a conference came after the loan of a half million dollars, negotiated through R. R. Moton and Julius Rosenwald, failed to go through. AFRO telegrams to Herman Perry, president of the Standard Life Insurance Company, Julius Rosenwald, in Chicago and others, as to why the promised loan to the Standard Life failed to go through, has so far, remained unanswered. Clarence H. Kelsey, chairman of the Title Guarantee and Trust Company, telegramged the AFRO today from New York, throwing new light on the case when he gives the following reason for the failure of the loan. "Amount raised to advance to life insurance company seemed insufficient to answer the purpose and a larger amount could not be raised." The St. Luke Herald, published in Richmond, Va., in its current issue publishes the following inside information on the loan: Mr. Perry brought a flowery picture of the possibilities of Standard Life securities to Julius Rosenwald and his associates, if only they would invest $600,000 in the company. Mr. Rosenwald listened and sent his attorney, Adler, out to investigate what Perry told him was true. Mr. Adler reported back that the affair of the Standard Life were in such a condition that to invest money in It was like throwing it in a sewer, that instead of the $500,000 that Perry had told him would be necessary for it, it would take far over a half a million dollars. But in the meantime Perry called a meeting of the stockholders of the company to view the views on the matter of the loan. He asked each to wave his share of the earnings of the company until Mr. Rosenwald and his associates had been paid in full. They agreed to do. Later they found that stock entrusted to Perry, which he did not own but over which he secured control by operation of subsidiary companies in the eastern Trust Company, a wide concern seeking control of the largest financial institution of its kind in the world. This beaten-up situation would dropped negotiations for the loan.

Watson, of Indiana, has urged the President to appoint Ernest G. Tidrington, of Evansville, Ind., as Register of the Treasury to succeed Harley V. Speelman, the present incumbent. Vann From other reliable sources, however, the information is obtained that Robert L. Vann, editor of The Pittsburgh Courier, will likely be named by the President when he decides to make a change in the Registration. Mr. Vann, it is understood, is being supported by the power of E. Malone, president of the Poro College, St. Louis, Mo., is also prominently mentioned in connection with this office. Mr. Malone was in conference with leaders this week. All three were active in the late campaign. Mr. Tidjangwan was with the campaign directed the state campaign work among colored voters. Mr. Vann was a member of the advisory committee of the Republican National Chairman William M. Butler. He was also connected with the eastern headquarters in New York City.

His present term will not expire until January 22, 1826. He will be incapacitated for nearly two years.

Last week Flournoy Miller, spent a few brief hours with his family as the show jumper and the Running Wild" which he left for a few brief hours with his family as the show jumper. The Majestic theater, Buffalo where it opened a week's engagement on January 10, took to look over a performance of a show in which he is interested, as the author, in the company with its star and stage manager, it happened that the Page was present what he heard: "Nothing but the best that is in everyone can't co-ordinate to give a satisfactory entertainment, then one or both should be let go. Don't be afraid to place your personal preferences or dislikes above their work. You can't afford it. It is not your show. It is not the property of your manager nor yet mine. No not the owner of the press for each performance. The rest of us are mere instruments. When the public quarrels about a box office till, or any other show is done.

While we are deeply sorry for her, we can understand the cause leading up to it. Managing three big enterprises, Mrs. Downs is fortunate of supervising the packing of tremendous size and most unique Christmas baskets such as we know went out with her cards and holiday cards. Messengers Special We have at least been able to see an approximately proportional number of The Messenger, a special theatrical edition, has come.

Kahn, Alan Dale, Eugene O'Neill, Paul Robeson and Dora Cole Norman, in addition to the work of staff editors, Theophilus Lewis, George S. Schuyler and J. A. Rogers. A significant thing about the issue, is that it contains a high percentage of expensive and artistic advertising and has been successfully brought out without resorting to the black jack method of advertisement, soliciting that has usually prevailed in such special theatrical editions as have heretofore been offered to the public. S. H. Dudley, Charles Turpin, St. Louis theater owner, and Whitney and Tutt are subjects of special treatment and they richly deserve it, for they truly represent the Circuit, the theater and the performer, the essential elements of show life.

The episodes and characters of the drama director and their bearing upon race history and value to our progress outlined to the students will be the focus of the course to the end that the race performers will be encouraged to continue their harmonious work and become even more aware of the instruments of culture and harmony.

We're a noisy crowd, No more than other races. But 'the most known' that colored folks Have no respect of places; I went out to Hospital In the town we go to. The nurses moved with noiseless feet, And doctors whispered low. There padded halls permit no sound? Commotion? Nothin' near it. I sank into an easy chair, To ask all in one a whirl. Bulld—all at once I heard a bang! A slamming door and 'HOWDY!' A jazz tune whistled loud and long. Just like an alley rowdy.

COLORED ACT SMASHES LONDON RECORD FOR '24 Layton And Johnson Idols Of London Society And British Radio Fans. RECEIVE ENORMOUS SALARY Layton Former Partner Of Henry Creamer Wrote Strut Miss Lizzie Reports from London say that Layton and Johnstone, the popular American act, are the most successful American invaders of the British metropolis now there. They have enjoyed a longer stay than any of the other acts and their grosses have exceeded those of their contemporaries also. They were discovered working in a night club by Elsio Janis, so the story runs, and were immediately advertised and profited thereby. They have been at the Cafe de Paris for the last six months, where their name has gained them a percentage of the gate with a tidy guarantee. For broadcasting during the day they are also said to receive handsome fees and appear weekly in the newspapers each week. It is expected that they will leave town for twelve weeks shortly to play provincial contracts which were made before they became the rage here, after which they will return to the Cafe Paris, Turner Lyton, of Oxford, more than his partner. He is the son of John W. Layton, one of Washington's foremost musicians, and himself one of the most successful of American songwriters. Among the most recent successes of Layton and his former partner, John W. Layton, "Old Southland" and "Strut Miss Lizzie," which were played in every city and hamlet in America, and with repeated success abroad. The former two songs were by no means the only two songs that Mr. Layton and Mr. Creamer, his partner, collected royalties from. So please they that, it would not be possible to enumerate them here. The success of the team is encouraging and gratifying to their friends and contemporaries on this side of the "pond." N & JOHNS Furious Fight At Roosevelt With the screen production of "Hearts of Oak," James a Herne's well known melodrama, which plays the Roosevelt Monday and Tuesday, January 15-20, there comes to the masterpiece the achievement of another age. In the William Fox production, this stage masterpiece takes the form of a high powered, modern drama, the action of which sweeps from the New England and continues to the Arctic regions in and around the series of heart throbs and thrills. Hobart Bosworth, in the principal role of Terry Dunlain, enacts one of the strongest roles of his career—and as two-fisted sea faring men, he has been seen to act some of the most memorable roles that have ever been put on the screen. "Hearts of Oak" is the story of a sturdy old retired seman, Terry Dunlain, who has adopted a boy and a girl to seek him grate to manhole and whose schoolmate, mystical girl, has been the apple of his eye and he has showered the affections of a father upon her, only to realize, as she reaches beautiful maturity, that he has turned to the love of a man with feelings, ignorant of the fact that Chrystal and Ned are anamoured, and asks her to marry him. The young couple, rather than interfere with the happiness of their benefactor, agree to sacrifice Terry. The girl feels Terry. Ned consumed in his grief, goes away and takes to drink. It is not until Terry finds him, broken, that he learns of the sacrifice of his children. The method he takes to reify his long results makes your heart beat and brings tears to your eyes.

DROPS 100 FEET FROM LINERS DECK "In Every Woman's Life," booked at the Rogent on January 19-20-21, is described by pre-reviews as having: Colorful atmosphere, luxuries settings, handsome photography and a story with considerable heart interest combine to make this a feature very much out of the common. It is a modern drama of society, with three men in pursuit of one woman, one of the admirers being a downright cad, another an elderly self-sacrificing chap, number three, the alluring youth who wins her. The opening reel plunges right into a whirl of merry life in Paris, followed by one of the film's spectacular unique hits, a breakout film about a woman of Desanges which is attended by guests on horseback. The situation on shipboard are deftly handled so as to create red-hot suspense and a big punch is administered with stumbling onto Desert Green. The latter's fall and Desert's dive from the liner's side, a clear drop of over one hundred feet, register as vividly as the most rabid admirer of sensational stunts could design, execute and shoot of the villain by the paralyzed Count, who by a tremendous effort of will power, manages to summon up enough strength to finish Carlton when he attacks the heroine. Both Sally and the villain are appalled in order to shield Desings, but the latter confesses just before he dies and a happy climax is brought about. The "Horse Behind the Cedars," by Charles C. Chestnut and by Chester Gloeheide, authorized director respectively plays here January 28-29.

Others have the happiness and still want something else. There are wanters who want high life; others money; some a baby's kiss; a mother's caress.

If this alleged difficulty can be bridged and a consistent price scale be established and adhered to, it is belied by many that the theatre would be listed in the winning class.

Apparently the local managers had spent without straws," of a matter of course falling, no matter what herculean efforts were put forth. The support of the public has not been all that has been hoped for, but no quarrel has been raised on the part for spending away where please.

The leisurely action so evident in the former production has been geared up to a thousand of shows move along like Rolls-Royce. But Allen essays the comedy portion, and fiddles—there was no Romo to burn like there was when the ancient Nero drew his "wicked" bow, but there were many "soles" on fire before Mr. Allen and his bow let up.

She didn't understand their way of living any more than they understood her way—and they hated her because she was beautiful! Could she help it because she was on her knees? Could she help it because the handsomest boy of the lot was madly in love with her? And now they wanted to run her out of town—they couldn't compete with her so they were trying to get rid of her. They succeeded? They did NOT. They only succeeded in— But you'll have to see this picture to appreciate the big drama, the swift action, the delightful romance it contains. You're going to love it! You'll be shown on January 20th, and the sensational "Forty Horse Hawkins" on the 21st. FESTIVAL SIDELIGHTS Whether it was drawing bartone notes from a horn or bass from a bull fiddle with a bow, Mr. James Ping, who performed on the latter instrument, showed that it mattered not. A closeup of how short man look in full dress. Some of the customers seemed to experience a "slight difficulty" pronouncing Rachmaninoff and Tschalkowsky. Audible remarks from some "cowboy men" about the thoughtlessness of the programme maker for not injecting a wee bit of "jazz." Despair of a soprano who entered the Armory too late to participate. The complete coordination between Director Thomas and assistant director Professor Charles, was beautiful to behold, and at that Mr. Harris found time to leave his timekeeping traps for a coronet solo.

The "seat-pilots" were agreeable and efficient. Qualities as rare in ushers as B. V. D. are in Alaska. Easy to look at too, "tipping around the floor like mallee kittens on a frosty morning." Ceci Cohen the accompanist of Madame Cole-Talbert and Mr. Harrison was one of the few accompanists who seem aware that they are not the bride groom at every wedding and the corpse at every funeral.

N. P.)-The San Antonio Express in a recent issue devoted nearly a column to comment upon the excellent work of Prof. N. P. E. Johnson of Nashville, who has been presenting local chorus groups to the general public in Texas cities. A woman critic, visited the concert and wrote the story. The particular woman is the most severe critic in the state. The story informs us that the white patrons far outnumbered the colored persons present. This is a mark of more friendly relations. This with the fact that Prof. Johnson has been working in this field for a number of years under the auspices of the educational board of the National Baptist Church, shows that the fully appreciates the value of Music and the cultural value of the platform and stage to our advance. Blind Pianist Now Plans Concert Robert A. Steele, the blind pianist prodigy, and student at the Maryland School For The Blind at Overlaea, recently appeared with the Dextra Male Chorus of New York, in that city. Young Steele, who has been blind from birth, has been much in demand locally for broadcasting and other entertainment programmes. On Wednesday, he recital for the T. W. C. A. of New York City. The wonderful ability of Steele as a pianist was first made public by an AFRO reporter who interviewed him in an article in issue of last spring.

Kennard Williams COLLEGED-PLYMAN It is agreed that the old Front Street Theatre attracted many col- lected drama lovers until its destruc- tion. The theatre was opened in years ago we ran across a man who was a "Dyman" at that house, and who barely escaped when the fames swept back stage. It had been his name, for we did not receive his name, for the story told by himself would prove interesting reading. Holiday Street Theatre was also a place and received the patronage of Front Street, after the des- truction of the latter house. It may also be recorded that the drama "South Before the War," was said to have brought smallpox, to Balti- SIT IN GALLERY Negroes were restricted to seats in the gallery until a colored troupe was booked, and then were permitted to walk the first floor. This is still the policy at Ford's Theatre. It may not be irrelevant to add a troupe to a colored troupe was the signal for the appearance of a gang of scalpers who profiled greatly from their activities. During the run of white productions in the theater, the house was divided between white and colored "gallery gods." The white battles often succeeded in extinguishing the house, and distinguished scaled, which they starlightway proceeded to crack with black jackets. The coming of the being dressed in white marked by a buck dancing contest on the Thursday night of the show, when the town's best "booters" pitched their skills against the dancers of Jesse Brown of East Baltimore, a name to conjure with, was a consistent prize-winner. Some say by more than three months, know, that the star run Ernest Hegan, S. H. Dudley, Cole and Johnson, Black Patt. Madam Flora Basson, William H. Loving and deceased stars trod the boards of this historic theatre. The Monumental Theatre, formerly called the Bridge" was renovated by the male colored group. Friction between boys and men of the two races was not absent here either, and some stirring encounters are related by those who were present. WATERMELON TRUST before the coming of the Volunteer Theatre, the theatre, but beer was the main beverage consumed, and very little invitation was noticed. Burlesque was the form of entertainment offered; not the form of variety of today, but the form of variety of entertainment. Anything went and nothing was conceived, the audience of "rough-hews" wanted "rawwat" and were did it in large bunks. The "Crackle" troupe, with its troubled units, and it was not infrequent that other companies brought colored acts and individuals to perform during the middle of the performance colloe.

The Musical Spillers were heavy losers in the fire that completely destroyed the house here last Friday night. Much clothing and a large number of musical instruments were a complete loss. the by, was a Baltimorean. AMATEURS AN EOXERS Amateur nights were popular at this house, and colored entrants were many and moreover consistent prizes. Personal appearances of amateurs was then much in vogue and all of America's fictional celebrities at some time were routed out for admirers' chenches upon and to shout themselves hoarse. Ford's and the Academy also had a great group of masters in the serious side of the world. It was said that all of the attendants from the Negro group of those days could boast of having seen the minstrels, and "David the Shepherd." LEE AND DALY The late Henry Lee, was the first Negro to open a theatre for Negroes in the city. Several attempts were made at Queen's on Lexington Street, where he met Mr. Lee got a good theatrical toehold. The late William H. Daly was responsible for the establishment of the first house in which the best in the city could perform. An unfortunate combination of business transactions prevented him from carrying out a much cherished plan to build a 1000 seat house. It is to be regretted for had his plains borne fruit much of the unnecessary competition would have been absent today. There was not many of the plans he would have built, so much of their present success William H. Daly.

The included $400 for 500 for 500 chairs, $1.50 for Mrs. Florence Cole-Talbert, $1.50 for Frank G. Harrison and $500 for the armory, the year was $500 and the falling of this year according to William B. Hamer, manager, J. Howard Tolson and H. Herbert Knox, secretary, was due to the official opposition of the Y. M. C. A. officer who handed the recital a year ago. "Y" officials are also said by the action of Adjunct General Record, who took back permission to use the Armory unless $500 was paid before the recital began. Previously he had agreed to a nominal charge of $800. This action of the Adjunct General two days before the recital was to be in advance some $400 in ticket money and secure $100 additional from Allen Lycte, white, treasurer of the Maryland Armory.

"Eather" In Pittsburgh Pittsburgh, Jan. 12—Miss Venella Zeller produces in this section of the country, will produce the "Dream of Queen Theatre on Friday, January 14" Kansas City, Mo. Jan. 7 Last night at the Odeon, for the grist time in the record of local music, the local musicians were privileged to be seated alongside the representatives of the white population on the main floor, including the of the Grand boulevard auditorium. This unique arrangement was occasioned by the rectory of the church of Hays, who, according to authenticated accounts, has created a veritable furor, not alone in Boston, New York and other cities, with the symphony orchestras of these cities, but also in the capitals of Europe, including a "command" relic of the city's history, amongummers for King George V. He has musical talent far above that which is inborn in common folk. Song with him is an unaffected soul expression. Songs are sung in the earl of men and wondrous throat. He every inflection gives warrant of having been derived from the instruction of noble and approved masters. In every note, he utilizes the same rhythmic pattern of one who, even under constant racial handicap, has found his work and place in life. That he is an intense student, zealous to make the most of his phenomenal gifts for the broadening of his mind, he has demonstrated beyond curvil or doubt by the arrangement of his program and the superb manner in which he performed his task; a task, jet-set say, has him to sing for any singer of the male high voice whose name could be mentioned in this relation. When a member of a race whose mother, an ex-slave, bore him on a patio, he was called a village, can rise to such heights of song as Roland Hayes achieved in Mozart's archaic concert aria, "Per Pieta, Non Riese," and in Schubert's songs including that splendid invocation to song "To the Lyre;" that dear little lit "The Rise" and that the wondrous "The Tear" and M in Riehle when these are sung in the best style of the art, with resonant intonation, excellent enunciation, perfect breathiness, and a submissive submit willingly to the charm and the enlightenment of such an essay: Boston Likes Lillyn Boston, Jan. 15—Boston received Florence Mills and the "Dixie-Broadway Co., with open arms as it did on the production's first visit, but it is raving over the cleverness of Lilian Brown, who is now doing the contrife of Miss Brown is the revelation of the newly added features.

"Red and Rat" an act playing the Regent last week, "disappointed" the AFRO newsies and carriers by not appearing at the annual get-to-gether held at the AFRO-AMERICAN building after promising their appearance. However, the fellows managed to "struggle along somehow," and enjoyed the sleight of hand of Reed Gross identically no thought of the Red Rat act. The manager of a company playing a later show this week refused a week's engagement from the manager of a lower Pennsylvania Avenue house when requested to have the girls of his chorus "pop it up." This offender once overstepped the bounds of propriety, and soon or late is going to reap the lilth that he has shown. Company managers of the kind who refuse to exploit their women for the fattening of the purses of unresponsive miners and of men's should be encouraged. "Nobody any longer believes that old stuff about the public demanding smut." Doctor Doyle summoned to the Regent Monday night to attend a young lady member of the company playing there. Charley Voderey, operator at the Dunbar is also a radio "fan." He tells the great playwright the concert broadcasted from station WAZ last Sunday evening.

DOUGLASS HIGH QUINTET OVERWHELMS BOWIE NORMAL High School Turns Out To See Bowie Normal Snowed Under A 69 To 7 Decision EASY WIN FOR LOCALS New Team Took The Floor At The End Of Each Quarter And Ran Rings Around Visitors The entire high school turned out last Friday afternoon to see the Bowie State Normal quince from Bowie, Md. smothered under an avalanche of baskets by the team from the Douglass High School at the New Albert Auditorium. The score result- At the end of each quarter Coach "Duck" Gibson sent in a complete new team in order to give all the players the first session found the locals on the long end of an 18 to 2 count. At half time the visitors were trailing a 35 to 4 decision, and at no time the Bowies threatened to catch up. Woods a Star Jerome Woods started the going and played his usual excellent game. He and his team won seven field goals put him on the honor roll as high scorer for the afternoon's work. Then, the elongated one, for the losers, failed to live up to his name, and at times his playing was exactly opposite. However, his single field goal, which he had teammates Cullen, with one goal to his credit, was the other redeeming feature for the Normal ladies. It didn't progress five seconds before Woods had bagged the first basket and was followed closely by Mack, Jackson and Shorts, who up three baskets in the first quarter. Boyle Puzzled At times the visitors didn't seem to realize what it was all about and with puzzled expressions appeared in the ball game in play. The few times Bowie was within shooting distance, the stage was set and the ball came from the way the ball anywhere but at the basket which might have been made of the same material as the kicks from the way they steered clear of it. The second and third high school teams that took the floor repeated the same routine, simply played them off their feet. The yelling of the high school rooters seemed to add to the discomfort and appeared end when it was all over.

MORE CHELTENHAM Continued From Page One unfortunate boys makes it impossible for the boys to improve their tutelage," "Except for the broom factory," says the report, "and a few in the shoe repair shop, boys are taught no useful trades." "The worst evil of any penal system is hiring out of convicts." Instead of employing the hundreds of boys on Cheltenham's 1200 acre farm, it is permitted to lie idle, while the boys are hired out to farmers at 50 cents a day. Boys are sent into all parts of the State and even on the Eastern Shore. Their parents do not know where they are and neither do Cheltenham authorities. In fact, they are so many slaves—working at the will of a master for no pay and beaten and maltreated when they do not. Food is Intolerable Inspection of the food given the boys on the day of our visit and the information obtained from some of the inmates with whom we were able to talk without the threatening surveillance of the guards, convinced us that the boys are improperly fed. The diet is dry bread, bean soup, black coffee or tea. Little meat is given them, no butter and little, if any, milk. Box Struck With Stick During the session of the Grand Jury the case of George Washington, crippled and tubercular, an image of the man with a bullet sent by this boy to the AFRO, charged that he had been struck with a stick by Stupey Pytes and given a sentence of imprisonment, was substantiated when, thru Mr. Continued On Page 6 Col. 2, Andrews, the lad was called before the Grand Jury. He was out at the hearing that George Washington was sent to the institution when he was 11 years of age from St. Elizabeth Mountain because of violation of any law, but because he was a homeless orphan. This boy is a cripple and had suffered his fourth year with tuberculosis of the knee, and it was testified that he was often beaten and mistreated because he had talked at meal time. Cheltenham rules absolute silence at the meal house. Drastic Recommendation After stating that the State, and city had practically no control over the institution and that they are unable to remedy the conditions prevalent there, the Jury made the following recommendation: "We, therefore, recommend that the courts of this State and this city send no more boys to Cheltenham, and that the appropriations heretofore made to that institution be discontinued." The city of Baltimore appropriates about $38,000 annually to Cheltenham, the State, $12,000. This is on ten basis of about $190 for each boy. A member of the Grand Jury stated at the hearing that it would be better to have the boys sent to the House of Correction or the "pen" than continue to send them where they are treated brutally. It was pointed out that the withdrawal of the appropriation would force drastic changes in the manner in which the State and city are handling their inventories.

FRAN Between Paca and Look for the Large Bay Window By W. A. MASON (Physical Director, X: M. C. A.) THE UNWRITTEN LAW It seems to me that the American people have come to the place where the policeman and law-enforcement are self-reliance, are the most important checks on our every-day life. We are constantly watching to see if we need to use a colloquialism. We usually succeed too, for the other fellow whose duty it is to check back on us, is as a rule we have little trouble in having our own way. Thus we come to form a habit, and this, I think, counts largely for the general laxity of the times in the other fields of endeavor. Athletes Scored The writer, who came to Baltimore more just at the opening of the football season, was somewhat surprised, if not amazed to notice the freedom that not only he had on the part of our high school athletes, there is no doubt at all in his mind but that these men had been given the opportunity not in process of watching and spying, and punishing of those who fall by the way-side. There must be a cooperative spirit in the players. While the coach is important, fundamentally it is the players' attitude that counts the most. The fact is some men do not have the will to be coached. They know it all. But the day is fast coming, if indeed it is not already here with some coaches, when this fellow, by virtue of his own attitude, keeps himself out of the game. Bors Admit Smoking A certain young athlete, Mr. X, came into my office the other day with a cigarette in his mouth, to study an interpretation of a basketball rule. He also received my interpretation which he admitted his coach had given him. Recent physical examinations of high school, and even grade school students showed the obvious fact that too many of our young boys are cigarette smokers by their own confession. This is evil which the boy alone Cigarette Esll But what may we expect when the younger lad sees his hero, and every boy has a hero, who is appalled by smoking cigarettes too? He thinks he has a splendid argument, and he uses it to advantage. Now I do not wish to be quoted as saying that smoking keeps a man healthy, but it will affect most folks want immediate results to prove anything. I am reminded of a friend who told me that he had been smoking cigarettes ten years, and that he has smoked cigarettes which may have been perfectly true. However, I believe that whatever illness he may die with, will be of shorter duration due to the fact that his smoked cigarettes and that his body resistance is thereby lowered. It is a proven medical fact that the action of both nicotine and al- HOWARD QUINTET DOWNS ARMSTRONG Washington, D.

The athlete who cannot lose himself for the group is a misfit. He should be mastered if you are to succeed. Fundamental Rules An athlete asked me not so long ago what I considered the fundamental training rules and I said this: 1. Master yourself sexually. 2. Sleep at least eight hours. 3. Regulate your diet as to time and the kind of food. 4. Abstain from cigarettes and alcohol. 5. Practice regularly and hard. 6. Do not overlook small injuries. 7. Take your coach into your confidante. There are many minor rules, These are, however, the chief ones. These, Mr. Athlete, are your unwritten law. You may break any one or two rules, but you must conform. However, sooner or later, possibly just at the time when you are tired, when the score is tied and a little higher, form would bring the winning point, they will stare you in the face again, a spectre between you and your best hopes,—the olive wreath of victors.

SEASHORE BIG YE BEATS PANTHERS Atlantic City Quint Down Philly Team Before Capacity Crowd VISITORS IN EARLY LEAD Panthers Take Easy Jump And At Half Time Are On Long End Of 13-8 Score Atlantic City, N. J., Jan. 16. —Coming from behind like a vertable whirlwind, the Atlantic City Big 12 Oil companies tors over the Panthers. Philadelphia Pride, before a capacity crowd at the Waltz Dream on last Friday night. It was one of the most thrilling and clearly played games ever witnessed by shore fans. The Panthers drew first blood here, the starling Panthers wade down from the foul line. Palu Fells, the Big "Y" forward, went him one bit before he hit the Raimond on a beauty on a Panthers, with Campbell and campbell alternating with shots from the floor, soon went into the lead and when they were leading by the score of 12 to 8. But the real sensation came in the second half. Saunders, the crack shore center was so closely guarded by the Panthers' goals by Chambers during the first half. The kanky shore center gave up, as did Murray, the hard plugging and consistent "Y" forward. It was at this point that the Panthers were outgeneration. The Big "Y" forward was in McLain, and for Saunders sent to Todd. The switch worked like a charm, and in a few minutes the Panthers and tied the score 22 all. It was mainly through the efforts of McLain, the ever-reliable surfer forward and "footsmum" Todd that he was basked in his success, scintillated with four field goals, one of which was made from a difficult angle as he scooped the ball from the floor and swished it through the strings. McLain tallied three times for the win. After the "Y" took the lead there was no doubt as to the outcome. There was a deluge of field goals. There was a deluge of field goals. The Philadelphia bounce under the strain and were completely demoralized. The "Y" on the other hand played their best game while under the pressure and emerged with color flying. Captain Johnny Knox played his usual cool-headed and calm game, and directed his men as Nappon did. Ralmonde Greene, as usual, scintillated with three field goals himself. The decisive victory over the Panthers establishes the Atlantic City mournage championship of the Eagles. They have games scheduled with St. Christopher, Alpines, Renaissance and the other leading teams, and the other making no predictions they expect to take them all into camp.

WEST ANSWERS CHARGES OF SCHOOL ASSOCIATION SAY PRINCIPALS VISITED HOTEL OF MR. SMITH Supt. West Answering Association's Charges Says He Hadn't Heard About It Public School Association Urges Resignation Of Schools Head That Supt. West failed to give proper treatment and consideration to Supervisor Frank M. Russell, and that he delayed the Vocational Training program among colored schools, are among the outstanding accusations in the recent bill of charges upon which the Public School Association, Mrs. Marie Baursenschmidt, secretary, is asking his dismissal from the school system. A second group of charges have been submitted, and these together with the original have been answered by Supt. West and are in the hands of Chairman Fields. In one of these, principals were charged with frequenting the school as R. Smith, summarily of these touching colored schools together with the reply of Supt. West, follows; Delay Vocational Schools It is charged that there has been unnecessary delay in opening the colored vocational school. Dr. West's Reply "This is fully explained by the lack of school space heretofore used for housing such a school and to allow students to use this project because the Building Inspector must prepare our building for us; but our school can also be opened very soon in connection with the new colored high school." Building Inspector Russell It is alleged that after unnecessary delay in securing a supervisor of colored schools, that the superintendent failed to accustom the students to work or give him proper support. "This section is largely a narrative involving incidents and comments on the 'colored politicians' that call for no reply from the man presented is whether the man, Colored Supervisor, Francis M. Russell, who was finally secured and appointed in 1922 and who was treated by me and properly supported in his work. I assert that he was treated as well as possible, that he was not the sighting of him, that he was fully supported by the Board of Superintendents, and that he was given and actually exercised very broad power. "His recommendation did not come through any other Supervisors, but directly from him. He was the head of Superintendents, and he was in supervisory authority over all the colored schools with the single high school, the high school, which school was kept, with full School Board approval, under the first assistant superintendent, the second high school, Mr. Russell did receive from me and the assistant superintendents all the encouragement and co-operation he one could reasonably expect. Substitute Teachers "As to the use of substitute teachers in the colored high school, a detailed report was given. The school board meeting and each case was explained and justified. School Transfer Delayed." "Compulsory. Because the school board was not turned over to colored children sooner." "The School Board was fully informed as to conditions at No. 15. The policy it was the prerogative of the Board to decide when this school should be made a colored school." "School No. 15." "Compulsor is made because School No. 15 has not been given to colored children." Again the school board has been aware of the conditions at School No. 15, but it was the prerogative of the School Board to say whether or when this school shall be made "Complaint is made because I would not order the serving of special bottle water to colored children. Children Falls Road, without bringing the matter to the attention of the school board and obtaining School Board approval of this unusual suggestion, I complaint reports my attitude correctly, and I did doubt our duty of furnishing special bottled water to these children during the five hours of school on Monday, every day they would be drinking spring and well water of the neighborhood in their homes and back yards. Colore Teachers Debbie DeBroussard, the present teachers' examinations the white teachers received their marks, and some of them were given class assignments, nearly before the colored candidates. "Answer: This is quite true... because we marked all the white teachers, and fixed the successful candidates on the white graded lists before we marked any of the black teachers... for the simple reason that we needed some of the white teachers at once, whereas we had an equal number of black teachers with a long, waiting list of qualified candidates already on our list." "Question on alleged mismanagement of the bus use for col- ored cripples and improper placing of the chauffeur on the payroll of School 101. The item falls outside of my jurisdiction. I have asked the Director of Business Management for a reply, and the answer is no. I lawing: "The bus is owned by Harry Anderson, therefore he has complete control over the equipment, whose name formerly appeared on the payroll of School No. 106, no longer appears on the payroll of School No. 106, no longer appears on the truck driver and drives a truck at the Warehouse, and in the 1925 Budget he has been paid for the truck. 7.23a, namely, "Employees-Salaries." This party never drove a bus used for conveying school children and it was incorrect to appear on any school payroll." Book and Material Shortage "Complaint because of shortage of manual training material in colored books Nos. 106 and 108, and because using parts of boxes and barrels from stores. "Answer: The same answer and complaint concerning shortage of books; but I should like to add commendation of these two principals and teachers in our department, getting some working stock from the near-by stores. Moreover, report from the manual arts department indicates that schools schools named was kept going. Substitute Assignments "Question as to why colored substitutes are assigned, from the office of the Colored Training School instead of from the Administration," Answer: By having colored substitutes assigned from the Colored Training School and white substitutes from the Administration, the offices are working simultaneously each morning and all substitute calls can thus be filled most quickly. Moreover, because the substitutes are graduates of the Cooled Training School, they are well known to the principal and clerk there, and they are very satisfactorily. The principal of the Colored Training School finds the assignment of substitutes no burden on that office and no appreciable interaction to Training School business. Expression of hope that the School Board will inform the new Colored Supervisor about the substitutes assigned in the Colored High School. "Answer: The School Board knows all about these substitutes, and there is no reason why the new Colored Supervisors be fully informed on the matter. "Page 3, top 10. Remark that vacancies in schools, both high and elementary, were not reported to Supervisor Russell. "Answer: Vacancies in elements colored by the Board all reported to Mr. Russell, and he had most to say in the selection of successors, many assignments being left absolutely in his hands. High school vau- dages in the Colored High School, Mr. Russell, because, by action of the Board, he had nothing to do with the Colored High School, that school being continued under the jurisdiction of a distant superintendent in charges of all the elementary schools. Principals Accused "Criticism against principals of some of the colored schools for being frequenters of Tom Place on Drudk Hill avenue." "Answer: This is a topic upon which I can make no comment because I know of no principals who are such "frequenters." "Page 3. topic 12. Request that all associations handling money in the colored schools to report in such reports to the School Board." "Answer: In so far as there are any associations not already so reporting, it will be a good place to require such reports of them." Miss Waters Transferred "Complaint over the transfer of Miss Annie Walters from the school No. 109 to the principalship of School No. 117, and of the manner in which this transfer was made, the plaintiff that the assignment of School No. 108 to the man principal was an act of sex discrimination. "Answer: This transfer was carefully considered in the case of Colored Supervisor Russell, and he fully concurred in the proposed move. There was no sex discrimination in the case, it being simply the unanimous decision that this man principal was a more efficient principal than Miss Waters. The 'unsatisfactory procedure in accomplishing this matter' was No. 109 to School No. 117 was due, in large measure at least, to Miss Waters' own unskillful management of the matter. In sponding move of a large number of pupils from School-No. 110 to School No. 109 was accomplished, and same man principal with the greatest smoothness."

These facts were made known by the B. E. A. Fiber and Industrial Company, one of the leading enterprises of the colony, at the annual meeting of the board last week.

NEAL URGES HARLEM CLEANUP Owners Allowing Property To Become Delapidated, New York Realtor Says NEGRO OWNERSHIP LARGE Have Acquired 75% Of Houses They Occupy; But Neglect. Depreciating Value. Harlem Negroes must make improvements, writes John E. Nail, well known New York realtor, in the Fraternal Review. Commenting on the growing neglect of property owned by the Amen he says: "With the growth of that section of Harlem occupied by colored people praises have been sung from all quarters, but, in my judgment, time has come when would be constructive criticism if the community is to take on permanent character that will be representative of what our section in New York ought to be. We have acquired 75 per cent of the real property occupied by us, and it seems very peculiar that so little is being done on the part of the property owners to create and maintain standards for physical health, so that you make a survey of any block—there are a few exceptions. In Harlem and you will find the most unsightly condition—from a physical standpoint—existing halls are dirty, lettered, and filled with garbage, streets and sidewalks unclean, and main halls written all over with the most flagrant words and the tenants occupying such properties when spoken to assume a resentful attitude towards such "There should be block associations organized in every block in Harlem, whether the residents of the city or a campaign conducted to try to arouse the interest of the persons in these blocks to keep them in better physical condition: which means better outlook on life. Effects Insurance "This criticism will perhaps be scoffed at by many, but to those who see it of this condition that exists will ultimately have on the community's life, makes it necessary for some of us to step in to attempt to correct it. It is already having an effect on our fire insurance policies, making it harder to re-place risks for the tenants who occupy this territory. Police Service Bad "POLICE service is not" adequate. The neighborhood is not like it was five years ago from a police protection standpoint, should get together in an attempt to persuade the officials of the responsibility of improving this condition in Harlem. The residents of Harlem are paying newspapers and these papers are sold for five cents each in the Boroughs of Manhattan, Queens and Bronx. The residents of this community should be instructed to purse their bills, and who will lagrate to sell the Sunday newspaper with the exception of the New York American, for five cents. A slight change for the better is noticed in employment conditions in Baltimore, according to the Director of the Bureau of Employment. Temporary employment was given to about 1100 men during the street car tie-up caused by the snow storm. In the factories plans are being made to take on more employment, the director, states that they are placing from 50 to 100 colored men each day thru that agency. Business firms state that the reaction from the states sending is normal and that sales are once more reaching normal for the necessities of life. New Opportunities Among the new projects reported for the week upon which colored buildings will be put up, get employment are the following: New sewer construction in Baltimore to cost $38,990. The Lutheran Church to build a church to cost $20,000. At high school building is to be built in Cumberland, which will cost $90,000. At Centerville an electric line is to be constructed to Church Hill. Migration at Standsdale. In standsdale centers there have been no changes of conditions for the last two weeks. Few new men are being taken on in the factories and laboratories and do well on to what they have at present. In the business field a new bond according to its literature, by Oscar C. Broken, 1619 Druld Hill avenue is the only development of the week AGITATOR FINED LONG SHOREMEN LABOR CONFLICT Dove Of Peace Now Hoovers Over,Craft As Men Reach Agreement Here RIOT REPORT ERROR No Serious Disturbance Found At Scene Of Trouble When Officers Arrive Following a near riot Saturday when more than 500 men gazetteed a bomb in Bea- con street, where white and colo- red longshoremen disagreed over division of jobs, two whites and three colored men were arrested and 600 of the colored men fined $10 and costs Monday. The man fined was Solomon Johnson, 627 W. Lee street, whom officials of the Longshoremen's Trust group out of distribution of jobs to colored and white members. Mixed Organization The Grain Trimmers Union No. 15 is a division of longshoremen who group out of distribution of 75 colored members. According to statements made by officials and members the work is distributed daily by officials, and white under normal conditions, there is work for all, there are times are picked for such as is available. The custom has been to pick twice the number of whites as colored in each assignment, and the memberships held by the union. Johnson sought to have a friend picked and an argument ensued. Officials say Johnson, who is a West Indian, is an agitator, and that there was no cause for the Johnson's Story According to Johnson, there was no near riot nor was there any show of force used. He stukted that he had the power of the BRISTOL union of the union to give a man work because his wife was ill. He had left the place and was on his way to take his assignment when he met him along with Anthony Lake, 2208 Ethingt street, and George Woods, 310 N. Spring street. The arrest was caused, he said, by the police, the president who told the officers, he threatened to shoot up the place. At the Southwestern "Police Station" he was fined $10 and costs for disorderly conduct and an arrest. He threatened to have Working Agreement An official of the Grain Trimmers' Union told a reporter that the white and colored members of the union were arrested, and that work is distributed fairly. The men receive $1 per hour for day work and $1.50 an hour for night work and five or six racial groups are represented in the organization. MICHIGAN OFFERS GOOD FARM LANDS Division Of Negro Welfare Say Large Tracts Available To Negro Farmers According to advice issued from the Division of Negro Welfare and Statistics, Department of Labor and Industry of Michigan, that state agencies have good quality for the agriculturally inclined who plan to enter within its borders in the next two or three years. A warning is sounded, however, to the too trustful purchaser; that the buying of Michigan lands should be attended with great caution, as there are millions of acres of waste land in the State, until the Division of Negro Welfare and Statistics was established by the State, the sale of these worthless lands to gullible, colored people had gone practically unchecked, to the State there are colonies of Negroes settled on land too sterile to even provide a living for them. A number of these cases have been solved by Mr. C. Campbell, director of the work, and in the most flagent instances, the purchasers have been refunded at least a portion of their money, or permitted to choose bettle and at the original purchase price. Mr. Campbell points out, however, the fallacy of blindly purchase the leader only, with the thought that the State authorities will eventually right any wrongs. The work of Mr. Campbell with prolonged investigations and much detail work that makes it impractical except in the most outstanding instances bordering on seasite. Every person considering a purchase of Michigan lands is warned of the danger of buying only certified lands. For further information, write C. A. Campbell, Division of Negro Welfare and Statistics, Department of Industry, Lansing, Michigan. 108 Pay Snow Fines 108 persons paid nes of $2. each in the North Western Police Station in Chicago.

ROUGH DRY 9c Per Pound Druid Laundry 917-1634 Druid Hill Avenue MAdison 1664 PETER B. They say Music hath charms to soothe this痛; this may or may not be true; but we are willing to bet that music in the Armory Friday night to soothe any kind of breast. One Guy said Ralph Matthews, that the Band played so joland that he could have heard the music and listened, but, of course, he wouldn't have been able to hear Madame Talbert. But he didn't understand her anyway, so what was the difference? There were three hundred in the chorus, and one Bird thought they were the best but him. An-ther Gink sang so hard that he hasn't been able to speak above a whisper since. He said it was a good thing that his voice didn't bad before the concert because it hasn't been a shame to disapoint all those people. The Governor and the 'Mayor found it impossible to be present. This is the fault of the committee of arrangements before Election, then even the President would have been there. One Gazabo asked his swife why the Director was shaking that stick at the people on the platform. She told him he wasn't. He said it he wasn't shaking it in musical or the world were they hollowing about. Friday night was a busy time for the society, one of the many musical the men dress like headwaters; and the women dress as though there was a shortage of dress material. One Gazabo asked his wife why that he had to have ear holes cut in it, his wife put on so many airt that everybody came near her caught One good thing about formal affairs is it gives married men an opportunity to wear a clean shirt occasionally. One Hen Peek had had on a dress and a man to find his way to the Laundry. Of course, We don't mean to say that all married men are not used to clean clothes, some of them have learned to wash right well. The sanitor of the New Albert said that he wished they gave formal parties all the time because the men wore such long tails on their hats, so they had to sweep the next morning. KOGER HEADS LOCAL N. A. A. C. P. IN 1925 Following a weeks intensive reorganization under direction of Rev Robt. W. Bagnall, Director of Branches, the local Branch of C. C. Williams, and Koger as its president for the coming year at a business meeting held at the Y. M. C. A. Monday night. Some time ago, Mrs. Lillian Lottis, of Williams began a movement to revive the work of the local branch which had been somewhat inactive, for the last five years. The work of these women was to drive what enabled the organization to meet its full quota of the national budget for the first time in five years. But in addition it also brought about a complete revival of the work of the OFFICERS ELECTED Heading a group of 100 young women Miss Williams held a number of successful entertainments and meetings that included the Director of Branches.

Harris Completes 28 Years Service On Old Bay Line WAS NEVER SEASICK Distance Sailed Equivalent To With a record of twenty-eight years continuous service, John H. Harris, aged 88, 959 Gough Street, Norfolk, Virginia, made three trips, this week on board the Old Bay Line Steamer, State of Maine, during between Baltimore and Baltimore. Mr. Harris, started work for the Old Bay Line Company, known as the Ballimore Steam Packet Company, in the mid-19th century, and made of friends among the patrons of the steamship company who regularly use his boats. He recallingly wrote to his brother, George and Kingdon Could, millionaires, the Spanish Admiral, Severilla, and his son, after he had been taken prisoner after the Spanish-American In these years, Mr. Harris, has risen slowly from mess attendant, to head water and acting steward. He has also taken on the role whose usefulness is in its ability to "stick to it." He is proud also of the fact that as for back as he can remember, he has been a regular visitor to Norfolk. The State of Maryland, makes three trips a week between Norfolk and Baltimore. The 188 mile journey requires thirteen hours, and the 189 mile journey takes 7 A. M. the next day in Norfolk, where it remains for the day and leave Norfolk again at 6 P. M. for Baltimore. In these 28 years, Mr. Harris says he has never been seasick and has lost only three weeks each year, which he is given as a vacation. Heighlights 89.525 miles on the Old Bay Line boats, which is equivalent to 37 trips around the world. Mr. Harris has seen Cheesapeake Bay, which he has roiled its waves across the ship making it impossible to keep anything on the tables. On two occasions, he has helped men to life boats when gone alone. He is the father of Dr. Norman Harris, of Washington, and next to his long service on the bay he is proudest of his two grandchildren. $10,000 HEART BALM SOUGHT BY WOMAN Mrs. Mary White Files Breach Of Promise Suit Against Dr. J.

Is Intelligent Question Of General Gaith- Cowardly attacks on his home, 5323 Denmere Avenue, in Pimlico, were the first attack on Reddick to the police this week. "This is the third or fourth time we have had trouble with white peo- lons," she said. She told the AEFO reporter this week. "They usually wait until everybody has gone out of my house to throw bricks" into the front windows or doors, "and then I give one occasion they broke into the cellar and stole about a half a ton of coal. My front windows were broken again last week, as they were broken in the attack. Nobody was home during the attack." "There is another colored family in this block, which has experienced no difficulty to date." He reported the matter to the police, Mr. Reddick replied in the affirmative. "Instead of seeking to find the culprits," he declared, "they asked me to look for them, tell them I didn't know, because the always wait until no one is at home before attacking the house."

The grave is unmarked except for a wooden slab, as shown in a photo recently published by the AFRO-AMERICAN War Department officials state that it is usually the custom for members of the family to furnish the head stone or other permanent markers, and when this is not done, the Department itself after two or more years will provide such a grave marker. There are others, too, like Colonel Young, who, after a brilliant career, have found a resting place in graves unmarked. The Rev. Walter H. Brooks, one time pastor of one of the largest and wealthiest New York churches, lies under a bare mound in Mt. Auburn Cemetery, this city. He literally built his life into his church, but one who would find his resting place today must inquire of the cemetery keeper. He sleeps without even the cover of green sod to mark the spot.

On The Air Mr. Harry Burleigh, the singer and composer, directed the choir of St. Georges Episcopal Church, which broadcast a song service over Station WJZ in New York recently. A few days later the Tuskegee Quartet gave a program of folk songs at the same studio, that is to be repeated every Sunday night for the rest of the month. Radio Station KDKA at Pittsburg featured race artists last week, as did also the Willard Storage Battery Station WTAM at Cleveland. At the latter place an entire program was given by musicians who elicited requests for encores from every section of the country, from New England as well as Dixie. The next development is the colored radio broadcasting station. Fans may look for it in the next two or three years. To Poro College, Madame Walker Company, the National Benefit or the North Carolina Mutual will probably go the honor of establishing the first colored broadcasting station in the world. Changing the Leopard's Spots The AFRO-AMERICAN has long maintained that if the makers of cosmetics can invent a lotion to change a black skin into a white one the race problem would be solved overnight. There is no race problem in America, but there is a color problem. America is a melting pot in which thousands and millions of people with varying customs, divergent moral and mental characteristics and strange tongues, are absorbed within two generations. Had the Negro a white skin and straight hair, he too would have gone into the melting pot at a more rapid rate than two millions of matattoes now testify. The press this week carries this bit of information: Dr. M. E. B. Slosson, director of Science Service, has forecast the day when chemist may be able to control the color and complexity of human beings. He supports his statements by citing chemical achievements as causative of skin color. He adds a addition of a little magnesium chloride to the water in which the fish live. It is already apparent," he said, "that the forms of all creatures from the earth contain compounds in extremely minute amounts. This may put it in the mouth of the chemist to control the size and shape of plants of animals, to fix the makers of cosmetics their branches and leaves, or legs and eyes, to modify color of cosmetics. Imagine Atlanta, Georgia and Houston, Texas waking up one morning and finding the black belt changed into a WHITE BELT. Imagine also the feeling of ten million other folk who would wake up one morning and suddenly find themselves in the possession of clean schools in the place of shanties, and the open sesame to sanitary neighborhoods, comfortable railway accommodations, the right to vote, the right to a jury trial and to serve on juries, the privilege to act as a free human being without ever hesitating to think of the racial element. Imagine all these things happening, and you realize the possibilities of science in the next century.

Here is a regulation Police Commissioner Gaither, whose chief claim to fame lies in his illegal manipulations which keep colored men off the police force, is much perturbed over the pistol toting situation in Baltimore. "There orta be a law," complains the General, "... giving each State the right to regulate the manufacture, sale and possession of firearms. Baltimore has a law which requires the registration of every person purchasing firearms, but the law is not enforced, purchasers being allowed to give fictitious names and get off with it. Even if it were enforced, purchasers could obtain firearms in other States personally or have them sent in through the mails. Mail order houses do a large business at present in Southern States where it is unlawful to sell pistols. New York has a law which makes it a crime to possess firearms even in the home. Here is a regulation which is much more severe than the Maryland law, but it does not stop the gunman and the criminal from carrying firearms. An anti-gun toting law will not help Baltimore any more than the dry law halls bootleggers. What is needed can be contributed by the Police Commissioner himself—it is a respect for the sanctity of the law. It is illegal to discriminate against Negroes on account of their color and to bar them from becoming officers of the law. General Gaither does this when he closes the police examinations to Negroes, and there is no difference between breaking this constitutional law of the land and breaking any one of the other thousand laws which the General enforces. Respect for the law will help the crime situation in Baltimore among people not inclined to think deeply. One good way to get their respect for law is to put them in a position to come into contact with the law in some other way than as a lawbreaker.

His nail studded, heavy German shoes made noise as he popped up the sturts and the whole editorial force stopped work to greet him as Year by year as migration progresses, Italian farmers with small farms under intense cultivation, are dotting the southern highways. The southern white planters would rather have kept their crops known to themselves, but their continued abuses is still driving many away. "Where have you been?" yelled the Reporter. "Been to Germany with Bishop Brookes," salute the old fellow generally, "and I am Jes' gettin' back." "With Bishop Brooks!" exclaimed the Reporter. "Why didnt you send me word? I thought you were" Yet all this does not help a situation in which we are loosening our farm balance, the most fundamental foothold of economic independences. Perhaps the National Finance Corporation, the Negro Business will look seriously into this matter and perhaps the Republican administration will abate some of the lilies that is making the South undesired.

Just last week here in Baltimore a riot resulted because of the open manner in which a group of Negro workers being forced out of their just proportion of work set down by the rules of the organization itself.

A similar condition confronts colored workers in many of the large industrial centers and a firm grip on the soil is needed to offset this.

PROFESSOR FUDGE PROFESSOR FUDGE AMOS HOKUM SAYS Hebrew Enterprise We are about to get an inch of the Mountains on Pennsylvania avenue. It appears some Sons make the Sons of Harm adopt the pleasant pastime of Rip Winkle and Nick Vesey. T If I remember correctly, Rip and his partner, Nick, used the Dugout down the Ten Pins between drinks. This particular diversion along with other things seemed to have such a quieting effect upon Rip's nerves that one day he slept his regular 16 hours a day, fell asleep and forgot to wake up for 20 years. He can see bowling is a great game. As I was saying, some flebres have made arrangements for Samba and Rastus to get their proper exercise. No pains or money have been spared. On the behalf of the Douglass Theatre on Pennsylvania avenue, has been built an elegant building which contains 27 bowling alleys. This place will shortly open in spite as to the probable success of its new venture. Bowling Is Fine Exercise There are two sides to every question, and among those who know anything at all about the new building, cone and cone. Some maintain bowling is a clean, healthful sport, and that the place must succeed because folks must have exercise. The other reason is that the place are either poor or cheap and because of these reasons will refuse to accept an introduction to the new game. There is a certain amount of responsibility, and usually, I have been thinking about the thing from another angle altogether. I will admit freely that bowling is an addition to the architecture beautiful of the street. I will admit the place is equipped wonderfully, but I will not admit colored people need any additional ex- To my opinion, when a woman finishes going 10 rounds with pots of ice, she comes after doing the "Charleston" with a truck on the dock all day, any mention of more exercise is like a suggestion of more exercise, not something that has been with most of us ever since our advent into this country. The fact good judgment is everything, but good judgment. My hope is that the new Bowling Alley will do business and prosper, but some criticism is against it. It located in the door to it, is the Douglas, Theatre, and next door to the theatre is what formerly Perry's Inn, a dump that succumbed almost before it was born.

This would be a hard thing to do, as many of the people who have been asked to be mital. I should think it would be just as well to have a word with those living and try to get their consent to be mital. I merely think this is not suggesting anything to Judge Rose, for after reading of a judge in New Jersey who sent a man to jail for just remarking about him, I am not sure. The probability just at present is we have just as much chance to get that $25,000 dollars for Provident Hospital as J. Steward Davis has of getting the $50 line back from Judge Rose. Auroras Affair Big Success The Auroras, the new ladies' club, entertained very well last Friday. The affair was up to the standard set by the club. The ladies acco- mplished the surprise, and made it to make an opportunity to wear some of their good clothes. Nobody else would give them a chance to do so, so they held their own exhib- tion, recording their own class. Most all of those invited had only words of commendation. I only heard three bogus cracks about the thing. One gentleman said there was an absence of old faces, which had been the reason the man made a derogatory remark about some 'slop' on the table and the last man cracked something about everybody in the East being present.

Windy tells me as a lax as a dada. Virtue, he'll be a wham when the truth would do just as well, or even better, and he steals everything he can lay his hands on. If the durr little cuss don't mend his ways before he can wear his arm to the legislature as sure as a gun is iron. Ethnuslastico—Isn't it wonderful, made all that up out-of his bed. Doubtful—Yes, and he has enough left for a cedar chest. A Baltimore girl, says W. Garder. Jones shes curls when her hat is on, but when she takes her hat off she wears a boyish bob.

This is, however, educational policy of West Viri- There are, in the State for 100,000 Negro Population In the adjoining state standard High School for 25 I wonder if the school a things or if the Negro voter Comparisons are odious Huntington, West Virginia, with a Negro population of three thousand, has a high school building costing $170,000. This is, however, but in keeping with the educational policy of West Virginia. There are in the State fifteen standard high schools for 100,000 Negro Population In the adjoining state of Maryland there is but one standard High School for 250,000 Negroes. I wonder if the school authorities are aware of these things or if the Negro voters of Maryland are aware that Comparisons are odious I spent part of my Christmas holiday by taking a dip into the Middle West. I am presuming that my readers might care to accompany me on this little journey. I have been requested by the management of the Y. M. C. A. to address the monster meeting at Indianapolis. One finds here one of the most efficient and energetic Y. M. A. A. organizations on the whole staff. Mr. P. E. De Frantz has put the Indianapolis "Y." on the map. Intelligent, energetic, direct and straight forward, he makes the organization significantly in the life of the community. All now unite in the wisdom of the provision. The intrush of a large number of colored people has changed the hius of local opinion, and general needs of the color people in any community where the resort in numbers becomes a practical necessity in face of prevailing public sentiment. Has Junior N. A. A. C. P. On Monday night I spoke for the Junior branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Col After a rather wide experience and observation covering the entire field, I am prepared to assert that the Indianapolis police and intellectual life of the young manhood of the city that stands probably unmatched, and certainly unsurpassed by any other associates of the city, and year out, these monthly monster meetings attract from four to five hundred of the upstanding and forward looking young men of the city whose interest seems to be in the police department does not abate. For ten years I have delivered an annual address before this body. On every occasion have noticed that the police department the venerable editor of the Indianapolis Freeman. Although he is a man of more than four score years yet he erects certain devotion and earnest effort the year of our death. He was the father and founder of the "Y" which he still cherishes above his chief joy. It rejoices one's soul to witness such devotion and earnest effort in the community which this pioneer in good works exhibits, even down to old age. I found the people in Indianapolis optimistic over the general state of the situation. During the last election, the state was under the stress of anxiety by reason of political complications of the hooded order. They stood manfully by what they considered the best interests of the legislature regardless of political considerations. Although the race seemed defeated by the local triumph of the Klan, the state was by the dictates of the racial welfare. Whatever may happen no group will ever lose in the general regard of the state. They unwillingly by their duty to themselves as they are vouchsafed the light to see that duty. Urban League Active I left Indianapolis on Sunday night, December the 28, for the city of Detroit, the home of Henry Ford and the nation's largest urban weatheranged below zero. Old Antoine street was glassed over with a solid sheet of ice. But the people were stirring and alert as it was necessary in question. I met my old friend John Dacney, in charge of the local branch of the Urban League. I found him wide-awake, and keenly alert in the work of this great agency. I arrived Negro to the industrial opportunities of this great industrial city. Industry was somewhat slack. The holidays usually mark the time for many large businesses lay off many thousand men, during this season of stock taking. The migrant tide has ceased all but completely, but only. I was assured, for the holiday season. In order to keep the children busy with a brief stay to revist old friends as well as to escape the severe rigors of the Michigan mid-winter. But birds, they will return in the Spring. I called upon Mr. Dunbar, the efficient secretary of the "Y." He took me to a courthouse for hearing completion. This is the largest and best appointed building in the whole Y. M. C. A. chain. The total cost will amount to a half million dollars. I think of anything by way of accommodation and facilities that is not found in this building. "Y" Controversy Ends After being shown through this magnificent structure I became reincident. It was recalled forbly to mind that some ten years ago, on the day of the bitter issue over the idea of establishing a colored Y. M. C. A. The old citizens were bitterly opposed to the movement. The argument was that the introduction of this separate institution would suggest race distinction and execlate race prejudice such as Detroit had not been accustomed to, indeed, to the same colored men had been made members of the general association with partial, if not complete privilege of membership. Bathing Privilege Denied One of the over zealous old timers was unguarded enough to affirm that the only privilege withheld from the old man was the body. When it was rejoined that this was precisely the feature that the colored members needed most, he subsided without the expedient of a come back. But this has changed. The authorities of the "Y" movement worked steadily and persistently on paying little or no heed to the conscientious objectors. The work took rapid shape: The building was planned, the money provided for and the work begun. "While others argued, he worked. Undaunted By Klan Holidays Halt All now unite in the wisdom of the provision. The intrush of a large number of colored people has been made possible by Separate ministration to the social and general needs of the colored people in any community where these numbers become a threat, or necessarily face of provoking public sentiment. Has Junior N. A. A. C. P. On Monday night I spoke for the Junior branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People at the Second Baptist Church. Then I must quickly leave the automobile city for Columbus, Ohio. here again I found the Urban League thriving splendidly under the office handling and colored people in friendly co-operative endeavor for the betterment of the element that stands most deeply in need of help, education, and training. Baptist Church, which is in the midst of construction of an edifice at a cost of one hundred and seventy thousand dollars. It will when completed be probably the next place I had little time to look into general conditions in Columbus, beyond confirming impression gained by previous visits. Negro Expanding There is a growing sense of Negro enterprise and self expansion. Here, the old settlers are all but wholly disregarded. The newcomers from the South are not only bringing in new people, they are introducing a spirit of thrift, energy and enterprise which is putting an entirely new face on the racial life of the South. Manufacturing Town One who must fill six lecture engagements in one week cannot carry out the job of teaching on Zanesville to lecture on Wednesday night. This was a great place for the colored man in the olden day. When the Negro darred his lines when he was taught southern Ohio, Z. C. was looked upon as a glorious place. But now it has become a manufacturing town of lines when he was taught made for the brother in colors. Shut off from the outer world by locking up the windows and sounded people lead the even tenor of their way. The older ones are satisfied twin the older memories of the days that are passed for Columbus and the more alluring outer world. And yet the good people are true to the higher aspirations. The Methodist and Baptist churches are the centers of social and general life of the community. The people hear the word most and respond most enthusiastically. Education In Huntington, West Virginia is my next stop. I cannot now stop to relate how the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad minutes at Parkerburg in order that I might make connection in time to meet my Huntington engagement on Thursday evening. This is one general impression of the conditions in Huntington by relating that here is a Negro population of three thousand, with a Negro population of one hundred and seventy thousand dollars. This, however, is but in keeping with the educational policy of West Virginia, in the State 15 standard high schools for one hundred thousand Negro population. In the adjoining State of Maryland, there is two hundred and fifty thousand Negroes. In addition, West Virginia operates a college for Negroes at Institute, a building for completion at a cost of four hundred thousand dollars. Maryland Far Behind I wonder if the school authorities of Maryland are aware of these things or if the Negro voters of Maryland are aware that comparisons are edious. So my last stop. I have reserved but a few times to acquaint you with two personages in this interesting State capital. I will first speak a word about Mr. Jenkins, a wholesale grocerman. Starting forty years ago with a peddlers outfit on his back, he now ranks as one of the leading wholesale dealers in the State. Needless to say, he is with the white trade. He lives in a thirty-five thousand dollar home furnished to the queen's taste. I feel safe in saying that it has no equal among us save, of course, that he is with the white trade. The thing that interested me most of all about the James undertaking is that his son, a former student of Howard University, has assumed control and is conducting the intelligence and energy that built it up. I lectured on Friday night for Mordeckal Johnson, the New Prophet, sent of God for the spiritual leadership of the race. Here is a young man who was filled with zeal, consecration and spiritual statesmanship. Behold, the man of God, sent to point out the new way in such a time as this. Three Fridays 13th. Those who tremble at the thought of "Friday the 13th," have three such hazards in prospect during 1925. There was only one such occasion in 1324, in June, but in 1925 the 13th falls in February, March and November.

PRISON Associated Negro Press Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 16.—Judge McDevitt in quarter sessions court No. 1, sentenced three young colored men to death in the electric chair on Wednesday, December 31. These three young men had been convicted and had been refused new trials by Judge McDevitt, Stern and Smith. The condemned men are Julius Branham, of Price street; John Walker, of North Fawn street, near Girard avenue, and William Lyons, Front and Lombard streets. Each of the men was brought before the court, and informed that a motion for a new trial had been denied in each case. Judge McDevitt then asked each if he had anything to say before the sentence of death was spassed. Two of them refused to have anything to say, but William Lyons said: 'I didn't get the witness added. They didn't tell anything like what happened.' Branham shot and killed Mrs. Margaret Henderson, at whose house he lived while Walker shot to death Jesse Lopp. He was convicted twice of first degree murder. William Lyons while firing at his common law wife, Elizabeth Hawkins, struck Rex Humphries with the date of execution him almost instantly. The date of execution has not been set. Y. W. C. A.

Head Undaunted By Shadow Of Penitentiary which faces Him. TRIAL JANAURY 19 Secret Of His Influence Rests On His Appeal To The Common People New York, Jan. 15.— Facing the probability of a five year term in Atlanta penitentiary for using the U. S. mails to defraud persons who bought stock in his Black Star Steamship Line, Marcus Garvey's power instead of diminishing is actually growing daily. This is the view of Eric Walbrond, writing for the Independent last The secret of Garvey's power according to Mr. Walton, the people and the insistence on black ideals as opposed to white. He says: "First, Garvey is of unmixed Negro blood, in contrast this is a near significant, but it is indispensable to any consideration of the man. Goaded on by the memory that the first slaves stolen from the slave plantation, he birth, Garvey and the gospel he preaches particularly and not unceasedly to the very black Negro nation, a land with as many color distinctions as there are eggs in a shad's roe, and all through his life, the fact that he was black was unerringly important, as there are eggs in Always Black "Wherever he went, whether to Wolmer's, the college patronized by the upper class, or Central America as student and journalist, he was continuously reminded that he was black and that it was futil for him to rise above the hewer of wood and "In Jamaica, as elsewhere in the United Kingdom, England differentiates between the full bloods and the half bloods. In Garvey's Jamaica, the mulattoes are the power to be the ones. The blacks number them three to one, have actually no voice politically or economically. Black Ideals "With such a background, no wonder Garvey, the 'Moses of the Negroes',—applying the law of compensation,—idealizes black. Coming into the emancipation of his spirit, it was inevitable. No wonder he talks glibly of a black state, a black empire, a black emperor. No wonder he is creating a black religion, a black deity, a black 'Man of Sorrows'. "Who knows, he says, but that Jesus the Christ was not a black man? And, naturally, the hordes of black peasant folk in the city feel that they he is saying the things which they would utter were they articulate. They swarm to hear his fiery rhetoric. They pour their money into his hands, and they thick and thin. They idolize him as if he were a black Demosthenes. "In turn, quite in keeping again with the law of compensation, but undoubtedly overdoing it, he makes such spiritually makes up for the beauty and grandeur that are lacking in their drab, unorderly lives. Aping the English royalty, he manufactures out of black peanuts the duchesses, princes and princesses. Shall not, he quites from the Bible, princes come out of Egypt, and Ethiopia stretch forth her hands unto God? To God he hated him, the veteran aquilator is made Duke of Uganda. "A faithful ambassador just returned from a mission to the black Republic of Liberia, is made Knight Commander of the Nile. Out of the multitude of black kstableboys, cooks, and bottle washers, seulions and jim-swengers, is fashioned the timeless Nile Nile. Out of sombre-faced maidens from the French and Dutch and English colonies along the Spanish Main he creates 'Black Cross Nurses'. A black singer with the sacred becomes the 'African Virgin Mary'. Titles and Gold Braid "All the glamour, all the technique of delusion, is employed to satisfy the needs of the people, which is missing in the lives of those long-repeated peasant folk. Essentially a movement of the black proletariat, Gavroyism owes its inspiration to singing swords and fuming helmets, titles and congeries of gold braid."

EASTMAN PROMISES 2 MILLIONS MORE New York, Jan. 16.—A meeting was held in Town Hall here last week to arouse interest in the joint endowment campaign being carried out at Hampton and Tuskegee institutes. It was announced $2,750,000 of the desired $5,000,000 had already been raised outside of New York and that it was hoped to raise $1,000,000. George Eastman, Rochester camera manufacturer, has promised an additional $2,000,000 gift when the $5,000,000 is raised. He had from President Coolidge, President P. Elias Calles, Mexico, and Dr. Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus, of Harvard University. President Coolidge's message read in part: "General Armstrong (Samuel Chapman Armstrong, who founded Hampton Institute a philosophy of education which crystallizes some of the soundest thought and experience of the pioneer Americanism from the early 19th century." Its philosophy of "learning by doing." It recognizes that out of the capacity to do small things honestly and well, grows the capacity to do well. It teaches that efficiency has moral value—that conscientious effort is a stepping stone, not only to success but to character, "that as a man works, so is he." The author's work in worship and showing by work." The President lauded Booker T. Washington who found Tuskegee University. He is that Armstrong's first great disciple. SAY "TUT" IS JOSEPH OF THE BIBLE Associated Negro Press London, Eng., Jan., 16.—A merry war is raging among Biblical scholars of varying religious persuasions in the Kingdom of King Tut-Kuht-Akhen, the ancient Egyptian monarch, whose exhumation two years ago set the scientific world agog, with the Biblical Joseph, the gentilman of the "coat of arms." The Jewish World recently published the article dealing with the identity of "Tut" and quoted a noted Egyptianologist, who in the New York Forum argued in favor of this theory. If the professor's surmise is correct, says the Jewish World, it follows that when the sarcophagus of Joseph was found to be empty because when the children of Israel went up of Egypt they took with them the bones of Joseph.

Cole-Talbert And Harrison Score. BIG CROWD APPRECIATIVE Spirituals vie with Classics For Favor. Benefit Md. Home Friendless Children The second annual musical festival, under the direction of Liechtenstein A. Jack Thomas was held at the Fifth Regiment Armory last Friday evening. A mixed audience of 3,500 white and colored attended. A massed chorus of 240 mixed voices, and the A. Jack Thomas Band were assisted by Madam Florence Cole-Talbert, coloratura soprano, and Mr. Frank G. Harrison, baritone, of Chicago, Mrs. Goldie Brown, of this city sang solo and obligato part in the spiritual groups programmed. The municipal anthem "Baltimore Our Baltimore" was attacked with litter in the latter numbers so superbly given by the choir. This was due doubtless, to a slight nervousness due to the massive auditorium. The first number was a delightful reading of the inspiring "William Tell Overture" frequently in symphony in four voices. The Director and the splendid performance of the band evoked merited commendation, trio songs from the chorus followed by two Kesler "Sweet and Low" and "Swine River." Each of the three were beautiful to hear, but the harmonies of the other numbers executed shaddings seemed to transcend the other numbers and this is without any prejudice to the others. MRS. TALBERT Madame Cole-Talhern chose for her first number "Thou Lovely Bird" from the balletworks, fortitude and other essential Coloratura requies are possessed by this magnete artist, and the display she these foregoing qualities. The tribute of the auditors was spontaneous and magnificent. The singer responded to an insistent demand for encore with "The Little Shepherd Son." MR. FRANK HARRISON Mr. Harrison's first suite was "None But The Lonely Heart" Tech-aikowsky, "At Night," Rachmaninoff and "Nothing Matters," Zucca. The singer was evidently awed by the immensity of the hall at his first appearance and was obviously nervous. As he warmed up to his work, he, over-ed, his diffident manner gave way to one of confidence, disclosing a value, while not robust, displayed beauty and careful training. Band and chorus united in "What From Vengeance" from Donizetti's "Lucia," this was a request number, and was received raptly with a flattering demand for an encore. Part two opened with a suite in four parts by Safranck arranged for band. Again this capable body of musicians demonstrated their beautiful tonal color and perfect balance. Three folk-lore songs by the chords "Delt's Listen to the Lambs," "Dig My Grave," and "Deep River," the latter two arranged by Burleigh, were interesting and capably sung. "NOBODY KNOWS DE TROUBLE Mr. Harrison returned with another trio of songs. This time his previous nervousness had vanished, and these songs were captivity by his audience. I knew That My Redeemer Lives," was his encore selection. Do Treble Sleeve "arranged by C. M. White, who has chosen to leave it intact, and to content with minimum reflections, was undoubtedly the most exquisite song in the collection. The number had been arranged by the director and the blending of the choir and voices are illustrative of Madam Talbert's ability in the field of arrangement. An aria "Oh Patria Mia" from Aida by Madam Talbert, and "Will Marion Cook's" "Swing Along" by the chorus of "The Beneficiary" was the Maryland Home for Friendship Colored Children. The Reverend Dr. George P. Bragg, delivered the invocation and short plea for support for the home.

Mount Street 1015 Madison Avenue SILBERMAN - Phone, PLaza 7855 CA1vert G383 SPIRITUALISM IS RUNNING WILD HERE IN BALTIMORE SPIRITUALISM RUNNING WILD IN BALTIMORE "Tests," "Readings" And Other Superstitions Sizable Vocation Throughout City venge, And Fortune Telling That thousands of dollars are spent in Baltimore in the gratuitous practice of "readings" "tests" and other forms of fortune telling and hoodoos practice, has been built by a minister recently made by a reporter of the AFROAMERICAN. This practice, which, singularly enough, had its beginning here and in still a part of some regular church service, has been taken up by individuals who collect varying amounts from $5 cents to $5 for readings and larger amounts for specific practices to "protect," aid or satisfy their needs. Practice of "Tests" Just how long the practice of "tests" in certain churches throughout the city has been maintained throughout the city are various churches, many of them in one room structures, which makes this a regular feature of church buildings. The biggest and best known of these churches is Christ Institute, on Enson, near Monument street, over which a monument each month "Divine Healing and Tests" are given. The services at this church are intelligently conducted and consists of onespersonally unknown facts about people in the audience, and healings. The truth of some of these statements is evidences of some of the healings have been such as to give even the most sceptical a good reason why each "test" night the place is crowded with people. Of course, no admission is charged but the usual church collections are taken and people otherwise are allowed to give such amounts as they will, for spe- Movement Spreads This test meeting idea, however, has spread until there are more than 20 small one-room churches giving these "tests" throughout the men and women go for private readings. At a meeting of one of such churches situated in a room on the second floor of a building at the corner of Lauren and Columbo, on this paper let it be known that he needed spiritual advice and help in some personal matters. He was told by a spiritualist at the meeting to come to a home in the 1400 block of McCulloh street. The first meeting resulted in a general "test," given for the most part by the lady to insure that she told her he needed help in his domestic affairs and wanted advice. Some days following this he was again called to the home and the following incident composed her "You have a dead sister that I get," she said, and she tells me that you need not worry about your friend." She then had him place his hand on a Bible and she would persevere until he understood told him that the affair would be straightened out to his satisfaction. Some Hoo Doo Work As an example of the extent to which superstition is practiced the following case will illustrate: Miss Annie Dawdy, 62 Poplin girl, was born to Poplin her wife was in mortal fear of losing her life as the result of a piece of work her husband had done. An investigation showed that she was in anguish, believed that her husband had taken a pair of silk hose belonging to her and taken them to a spiritualist who had buried them with the idea that as they rotted she would wither and die. She wanted the matter made public so that her husband would be afraid to carry out the rotted fact that the husband and wife had been literally torn asunder by the spiritualists and that to try to save them she had decided to learn spiritualism herself. Many Homes Wrecked Although running out details of this kind are difficult, it is a safe estimate to state that half the wrecked homes that come down, or at least helped by the spiritualists that prey on the ignorant and sometimes those not regarded ignorant. Testimony has been openly given in this book, and this year showing the influence of this form of superstition in domestic relations. Hundreds of women visit these spiritualists to keep tab on their husbands and whatever is told them is connected with this practice is also the selling of charms designed to ward off bad luck and bring wishes to pass. In the secret profession, for the law for fortune telling for money. When a reporter for this paper asked the price for a reading of a book, he charged, but that if he wanted to give anything to her he could. In many cases, however, these items are charged to the sums Women they charge large sums. Divine Healing There can be no doubt but that in some of the "Divine Healing" meetings the well known cultural cure is the well known fact that many allions are "states of mind and that sudden nerve stimulators" and that physical condition is used to great advantage, but the average attendant at these meetings believes that the operator possesses some supernatural knowledge that effects the cure. Herein is where the development of a spiritualist's fortune and intercession is today affairs of the life of the client is started. Once they establish the fact that supernatural advice, help, thwart enemies, wreak revenges, and sooth the lovelorn, the matter is simple: considerable money at the practice. GOOD MORNING JUDGE The Afro Court Reporter "And he wasn't satisfied with wrecking his own home, but came down to my house and tried to wreck mine," chimed in. Mrs. Blanche Carter, a teacher at the school, According to the story told to the women, Charles Watkins, the husband, frightened his wife out of her home and when she went to the home of her aunt, followed her home and policed took a hand in his domestic affairs.

ACCUSED MAN IS GRANTED NEW TRIAL James Wallace, Convicted Of The Supreme Bench of Baltimore City reversed the decision of Judge Gorter in the case of James Wallace, who was accused of three months in jail for criminally assaulting nine year old Mary Johnson of the same address. THE GIRLS STORY The girl and the girl she stated that on the day the alleged assault was committed she came home from school and found everybody away but Wallace. After talking to her, he into his arms and forcibly took her into his room where the crime was committed. Once time later when the mother of the girl returned the condition of the girl came to her attention and she was told of the occurrence. He was arrested a few days later. His officer did not weigh sufficiently against the story of the girl and the jury brought in a verdict of guilty. The appeal was obtained by attorney Wallace in the case. A dute has not been set for the new trial. HARKUM DISMISSED ON FORGERY CHARGE Daniel Harkum, 1915 Division St. was found not guilty in part of the Crime Act for which he was tried before the Christmas收据 at which time the decision was suspended. Harkum was charged with Christmas Saving check that had been forged, at which time he was alleged to have assisted Maggie Olver, 1407 Myrtle avenue, to obtain the mo- tion. The girl was apprehended as she attempted to cast a check for $11.6 at the Johnson store. On seeing the name of Harry E. Johnson on the check the cashier questioned the girl, re- belting to Johnson had disappeared last year. After a grilling at the Central police station no girl was found. In 1923 and said that Harkum had caused it for her. She further stated that Harkum had been on the back of the check. She denied however, that Harkum had anything to do with this year's check. She said that she endorsed the check herself. Harkum declared that the girl brought him the check, telling him to give her to cash it. She said she knew nothing of such affairs and asked him to cash it for her, which he did and gave her the money to return to her. No light could be thrown on the situation from the girl's testimony, as she answered in the affirmative to every question that was asked her by the people. People intimate with the girl declare that she possesses the mind of a five year child. This opinion was supported by the court staff after an examination. Harkum was dismissed while the girl was paroled for one year. DIVORCES INSTITUTED Mrs. Jeanne Moore vs Morris Moore Jennifer Smith vs Krystle Carrretta. Smith.

Needed More Authority Although Mrs. Christine Jones, 315 Carey street, was armed with a marriage license, as a request husband when she went to the home of Miss Janle Ford who lives in the 600 block. Miss Jones trialed her spouse and delivered at once. To this Miss Ford responded with more action than words and when the affair was over they were facing His Honor in the police case as to whether Mr. Jones was in the home at the time was not solved, but Mrs. Jones was given a warning to take other means to keep her husband home and to rough means. All were dismissed. Wont See His Girl For Ten Days Although Augustus Brown, 1109 McCulloh street, told the Magistrate that he felt that he could go to call on his girl any time he was there, but did not figure on 10 days in life moving around in His Honor's mind. Brown had been arrested on the complaint of Ell Sprayle, 1114 McCulloh street, who arrested him in his home, even after being forbidden to do so. "Tour Honor," said Brown, "my girl lives in that house and I reckon I can go there any time I get ready as long as she says so," she said, so sure about that," replied the Magistrate, "for unless you have $10 in your pocket there certainly will be 10 days you will not have money," the fact that he did not have the money he will not visit his girl for 10 days. Street Too Small "Judge," said Mrs. Genevieve Southress, "Eighth street, Fairfield, is just too small for me and that one of us has certainly got to get off." "O. yes, you can," replied His Honor, "for if you can live there that one of us can face that will hold you both for a while." The woman referred to by Mrs. Southress was Mrs. Annie-Mackley, the schoolmate who had grown out for the disciplining of the former's child. "Your Honor," said Mrs. Mackley, "was not angry because her children had not liked other children she did not like and came down to settle the matter." After a warning in which a picture of all, where many people are forced to live together in harmony figured, Mrs. Southress decided to try it a "Your Honor, my husband is a mighty mean man when he is full of liquor," said Mrs. Nannie Wat-ler. "You're in Northwestern station Monday morning. "Yesterday he got drunk and nearly wrecked the home."

Boyle Would Meet Marse Calloway Without Referee For 2 Minutes LATTER SUING FORMER Mr. Calloway Claims Balance Of $160 Due On Sale Of House Dr. E. M. Boyle, Caroline street physician, stopped preparations to move to Newark, N. J., long enough to challenge Marse Calloway, Pennsylvania avenue real estate dealer, to a fight. Hosiflies broke out after Mr. Calloway sold the home of the physician and $160, part of the commission, was withheld. Suit was immediately filed in Circuit Court, and was to come up last Monday, but was postponed. Dr. Boyle's statement was to the effect that the reactor had promised to sell the Boyle home immediately for $6,500 or within 30 days for $7,000. The contract was not completed until 51 days had elapsed and when the roctor was handed $6,500 he refused to pay the realtor's commission of $160. "The probabilities are that on a technically Calloway may win his suit and get this $160, which I do not begrudge him, if he could get it squarely and above board. Personally, if I could get Calloway for two minutes without the presence of a referee I would perform a necessary operation and pay him twice $160. When the challenge was brought to the attention of Mr. Calloway, he said. "The court will determine whether Dr. Boyle is to pay the $160 compensation or not. If the debt is just the court will order him to pay, otherwise not. I am too busy earning a living to fight anybody."
