COOLIDGE ASKS RACE EQUALITY IN MESSAGE President Tells Congress Negro Is Citizen And Should Be Protected PUNISHMENT FOR MEMBERS OF MOBS Coolidge Address Taken As Advocacy Of Federal Anti Lynch Bill Washington, (Afro Bureau)—The Negro is entitled to "full equality before the law," President Coolidge declared Tuesday in his message to the new Congress. Three paragraphs in the message deal with "the Negro." One cites the progress of the race and its need for violence. The third paragraph appeals for toleration. The fourth paragraph argues for equality before the law. civil and equitable protection of the President is seen as backing the movement for a federal anti-liability bill. The general condition of the United States is progressed by President Coolidge reported. The principal topics of his message were government economy, the budget, foreign relations, foreign relations of international justice, foreign debts, alien property, immigration, national defense, veterans, agriculture, Music, museums, rehabilitation, waterway development, water power, the railroads, the outlying possessions, the organization of judges, the civil aid service, the federal Trade Commission, and the Negro. The Negro. That part of his message dealing with the Negro is as follows: "Nearly one-eenth of our population is almost beyond the control of our country, the more loyal city." But they do still need sympathy, kindness, and helpfulness. They need reassurance that the required government and society to deal with them even-handed justice will meet. They should be protected from all violence and supported in the person of their enemies. Those who do violence to them should be punished for their crimes. No other course of action is worthy of the Am- Protection "Our country has many elements in its population, many different modes of thinking and living, all of which are in their own right to be legal to the crown of American citizenship. It is fundamental of our institutions that they seek to guarantee to all of their own lives their own protection of the public law. This does not include any license to injure others materially. Physically, morally, to incite revolution, or to violate established customs which have the protection of enlightened society. Equality "It but it does mean the full right to liberty and equality before the law without disruption. This condition cannot be granted to others, or enjoined by ourselves, except by the application of the principle of broadest tolerance. Liberty it reduces to serfdom not only those against whom it is directed, but also those who seek to apply it, and thereby be secured by the application of the golden rule. No other utterance ever presented such a practical rule of life." Tax Reduction A reduction in taxation is about 10 percent through the next revenue bill, which provides for the reduction of excessive surtases and estate tax rates, and the repeal of the gift tax. The tax will be prior to March 15, in which event the taxpayer will be given the full benefit of tax reduction next year. Among the nations saving the United States is listed Liberia. It owes a debt of $25,000, not including interest, which those at present in control have undertaken openly in debt still pending.

Underwood Photo Anti Lynch Bill Introduced In Senate And House Washington, D. C., Dec. 10—Senator William B. McKinley, Republican, of Illinois, introduced an antitraching bill in the Senate Tuesday afternoon. His bill is identical with the one introduced by Representative Leonidus C. Dyer, Republican of Missouri, in the House shortly after it convened Monday afternoon. The bill provides that any state or municipal officer in the house shortly after it convened Monday charge from mob violence or apprehend any person participating in the antitraching, or upon conviction shall be punished by imprisonment not exceeding five years or a fine not exceeding $10,000. The bill also makes it a felony for any state or municipal officer to comprise with any person to injure or suffer a crime or to be convicted of a crime. Those who comprise with him likewise shall be guilty of a felony. Upon conviction the persons so comprising shall be released from prison for life or not less than five years. District Court The district court or the judicial district in which a person is injured by a defendant in jurisdiction to try and punish those who participate when it appears that the defendant is to apprehend and punish them on when the jurors obtainable for service in the state courts are no stronger than there is no reasonable probability that they will do so. 27.9 Per Cent. of the Earth The population of the world is increasing at the rate of about 80,000 a day. Of the earth's total surface, 15,000,000 square miles, only 27.9% — or 35,000,000 square miles — is land. With population constantly increasing and the amount of valuable values, values must rise. The law of supply and demand insures it. Progression and development of cities, with the constant demand for improved living conditions, also increase real estate values.

If he has no family, then the county may impose a penalty for parents, if any otherwise to the use of the United States. In the event that any such person is convicted of murder, from one county into another during the time intervening between his capture and putting to death, the two counties be jointly and severally liable. The county may make any act committed in violation of a foreign citizen or subject of a foreign country a crime against the peace and dignity of the United States, punished in like manner as in the state courts. Three Persons a Mob Three or more persons, acting in concert, without authority of law. For the purpose of *Opfering any person of his life or doing him physicall or mental damage*, a "mob or riotous assemblage."

WAS ONLY TWELVE PERCENT Mixture Of Quart Of Water And Gill Of Whiskey Wouldn't Be Whiskey New York. (Special)—Mrs. Kip Rhinelander is not a Negro decided a jury in White, Plains Court in refusing the suit of her millionaire white husband for an annulment. Mrs. Kip, said the jury, is "colored." She has 37 per cent white blood and 12 per cent Negro blood. The mixture results in a "colored" person, not a "Negro." After a trial, featured by persuasive testimony, the white millionaire was denied his plea. His colored bride was vindicated. He will still have to support her. Congratulations. Plans and applications for making a million dollars, paying the way to financial independence, no matter what the outcome of any more suits, were contained in congratulations that poured in on Rhinelander.

Answer: No." "Did the defendant before the marriage represent to the plaintiff that she was not of colored blood? Answer: No." "Did the defendant practice said concealment or make said representation with the intent thereby to induce the plaintiff, to marry her?

PAY NO MORE HOWARD TRUSTEES MEET THURSDAY TO HEAR CHARGES AGAINST PRESIDENT DURKEE Nothing Will Be Done Says Alumnus Who Advises That Case Be Taken To Congress. Alumnus Tells How Army Sergeant, Dorcey Rhodes, Was Put Over Professors In The Conservatory Of Music. Color Line Evident In Salaries. BE ALUMNUS. Trustees of Howard University will meet Thursday December 10, in the Board Room of Carnegie Library to listen to Alumni charges against President J. Stanley Durkee. Bishop John Hurst, one of the five trustees who signed the call for this special meeting will not be present. He is in Florida and will be unable to return North until after Christmas. It is said Bishop Hurst, expected the meeting called sooner when he could be present, and had informed President Brown of the Trustee board of his wish to postpone the meeting until after Christmas holidays. This meeting in Bishop Hurst's absence is regarded here as a slap at the prelate, who as the one responsible for the special trustee meeting was due the courtesy of a date when he could be present. in final form. The next departmental corps at Howard University is going to be the Conservatory of Music. Dr. Durkee is nursing the junior and commercial colleges, which are already omitted. When Howard's star educator gets a grade in for some funnel foe, he wreaks vengeance upon the Made History organization of that foe. Miss Childers, who has been Howard fame than Dr. Durkee with his limited qualifications, could give it in a life time, fell into disfavor last year. Black List As the verified story runs, a community in Pennsylvania invited Miss Childers to a amusement park. "Containment," King James the First of Howard wanted to substitute his glee club. Miss Childers, however, was insistent that the original invitation be given. Senator became interested in the matter, so the chorus made the trip and Miss Childers made the "black list." Residence in the hottest section of Hades is preferable to the Dr. Durkee's "black jacket." Expert When King James' nobles voted him power last June to wreck Howard University in the briefest possible time, the university's president of ceremony, he sent an O. S. to his EXPERT to operate on the college and medical school (though this whirlwind investigator shrank from the university) and selected the fledgish sport of humiliating Miss Children. And why, not? He had succeeded in training him to vary his program by crushing an outstanding woman of the race. Our great Howard family will not permit him to vary Children's successful career as head of the conservatory. She has made history for Howard University. Carefully trained and modest, she has kept her organization to the front through successful careers of her products. Sgt. Rhodes . Recently there blew into Howard University a Sergeant Dorcy Rhodes, whose career the writer is diligently tracing. The best way to learn about this Sergeant Rhodes is two years training in a band school where, no doubt, he learned how to conduct a brass band. It would seem to be easy to learn with the band. The orchestra, of course, is purely the product of Mr. Wesley Howard, though Sergeant Rhodes conducts it. He never find any trace of training that would justify the elevation of Sergeant Rhodes to a commanding position in the musical activities of Howard University, or entitle him to any connection, in an official way, with the conservatory. War Records Wanted Now the writer does not wish to do Sergeant Rhodes any injustice, so he will gladly publish such cerulean may care to an *Sergeant Rhodes* may care to send to the AFO. Moreover, the writer earnestly entreats the sergeant to send also a copy of the portrait of his person in the army, or war record, that the reader may enjoy all the good things which no doubt have accompanied his career. The writer is eager to present the Sergeant's case as favorably as facts will permit. **Rumor** The zumor went out last summer that Sergeant Rhodes was to become Miss Children's superior officer. Denying "James" the "Standless" of the war preparation on the part of the organization at At last, we have in our possession some correspondence that will shed light on the whole matter. Following Jürke's June letter to Sergeant Rhodes, *Durkee's Letter* "My dear Sergeant Rhodes: "This is to officially notify you that you have been appointed Director of all Musical Organizations of the University. Mr. Wesley Howard. Asst. Director. Miss Carolyn Grant. Secretary and Dr. Scott. Treasurer." This letter, which was written in the musical organizations of the university under this bandmaster, Miss Childers' choir, special chorus, and the like, are obviously under the direction of Sergeant Rhodes by virtue of Dr. Durkess deny and explain all his wishes to these words are his Miss Childers Eliminated Miss Childers is eliminated entirely from any connection with the musical organizations, despite her position as head of the conservatory from grace, is not mentioned. Miss Childers was not even custodian of the sheet music. She is merely given a glass of the henna and Cook were forced to drink. . . The writer is constantly calling attention to Dr. Durkess chief assistant to Miss Childers and faced him. His aim was to erase Miss Childers by subordinating her to this bandmaster, about whom, we hope to have more to write about. We actually stoop to tricks that are too punitive to seem credible. Students Indignant The students enrolled in the conservatory of music became so indignant that a strike was proposed. Dr. Durkee promptly met the staff, and the students wrote a letter, and we want our readers to give the portion quoted critical attention. This letter was sent out under date of November 13, 1925: Durkee's Second Letter "I find there is some confusion over the question of names and also regarding the functions of the musicians. Groups are expected to play in the development of our Musical Debating and Histrone life at Howard. May I be permitted to straighten the matter out? There will be no confusion whatever?" "By recommendation of the President, the Trustees authorized the establishment of the Howard Church Society, in which the names of the members of the society were as follows: "Director of the Society, Sgt. Rhodes; Vice-Director, Mr. Cary Howard; Secretary, Mrs. the Secretary, the Secretary, Treasurer of the University." "These names will be changed so that in the future they will read the names of the president, Vice-President, Mr. Wesley Howard; Secretary, Miss Carolyn Grant; Treasurer, the Secretary-Treasurer of the University." Discrepancy When the June note to Sergent Rhodes is compared to the November epistle to the students, a discrepancy becomes apparent but put over all medical organizations, without a single description of such constituent clubs. In fact, it was Sergent Rhodes授授 boudst that brought the matter to the attention of the writer and gave material for an earlier article. In the letter letter says that the Trustees created a "Howard Choral Society," over which the sergeant was made director and now changed to "president." When was Dr. Durke granting Rhodes in June, or to the students in November? Can any reader of *Dr. Durke*'s notes, letters, and articles get the real idea of what he really means? It may take a soothsayer to tell what Sergeant Rhodes' official position is at Howard, but who do know that he has just been appointed unofficially as a member of the Festival, and we do know that Miss Childers has been set aside. Sergeant Rhodes tries to give her orders and the president her she can meet, seeing some of the wailing. His entire sojourn at Howard has been characterized by an eagerness to destroy the best and ignore the worst. Medical Examiners He has tried his hardest, at all times, to endanger the standing of the medical school with high standards. When the American Medical Association advised Howard University that the medical school had one of the best examinations were so accurate that not one of his cases was ever reversed. Dr. Durkee proceeded immediately to dispense with such services and other things, that he could not slip candidates in on his request. Ripped To Pieces Howard University had an excellent college, as the records of her faculty show. Durke tried his hand at sitting in the president's office, and now after seven years of scattering the parts, he has asked that it be put back into the condition in which he acquired the. The writer has correspondence to prove that Dr. Durke would not permit Dean Balloch to retain the services of this examiner. Faculty Stolid Guild Durke's idea of the examiner's function is to perform according to his desires. Even this year, he tried to force a candidate into the medical school, but the faculty could soothe him. Durke had to take refuges in another department of the university. If Dr. Durke survives this righteous fight that has been planned, he might make some of his nuntive reforms in the medical school to get rid of "stagnant material"; as he expresses it. Stagged material" as he expresses it. Durke will rule the day when Dr. Durke's reforms strike the medical school, the best of the university. Durke No fair-minded person can escape the inevitable conclusion towards which these musical reforms Childer's and the conservatory of music, despite the proud past. One would think that a so-fit-sustaining institution has conservatory in the hearty president, but not so; both the head and the organization must arithm to punish this fancied foe. Only-Artists Left A glance at the general treatment that this organization has received from the heart of the idea of how Durkheim works. All conservatory students who declared their ambition as that of teachers in conservatory, but were shipped to the college of education. in the conservatory plan to teach, so such a rule removes the pedagogic students, leaving on her rols only prospective artists for concerts. Salaries Again, the salaries will give a some idea of the punitive cost ordinary has six students, most people are outreaching the trustees to remove Mr. Wesley Howard, violinist ex- ordinary has six students, $2,000 per per annum. Prof. Tibbs has two- five teaching hours exclusive of cute rehearsals. Miss Childers, director, has sixteen and one-half teaching hours, choir and chorus rehearsals, charge of the house for musical acts, and receives $2.50 per annum. Industrial Dept. The Industrial Department, call it by what name you will, is admittedly the worst department at Howard, excluding the office of the department been molested. It is even called a college, and the director now struggles under the preponderant title of "dean," and the department is changing. Miss Childers, however, still retains the title of "director," and is now further subordinated to the hand-master. She is now the only one of the department's enrolmentals have not been advanced. Director A Youth The former director of the school of applied arts is a Caucasian youth; the director of the conservatory of music is a colored woman; thereby hangs the title *writer* for calling attention to the color question involved Dr. Durkeo's various acts. He slammed the door of opportunity into colored eyes, not likely to do his part by them in Washington, unless perchance they have oiled their knees. Miss Childera is not the "Tas sah," Boss" type. She will anvenge Nemesis sweeps this vindictive, Negro-hutting autocrat out of the presidency and sends him back to the church where hypocrisy is least suspected but too often found. Durkee Started It The American white man talks, eats, drinks, and sleeps with the color question, so the writer hopes that no reader will object to the constant recurrence of it in these articles. Dr. Durkee introduced into this fight the color question by taking charge of the question that would not admit colored students. Color Line At Howard The color-line is at Howard University and an eco-conscious side of the spring. Dr. Durkee's fit did not embarrass any of the white professors. He decided that the reenforcement of the color line made a side of the university. A white teacher had but three students throughout a quarter, but the blow fell on the colored professors. He inked a serious and sad situation. Colored students are not enthusiastically welcomed by the white universities and they are forced to see the worst kind of discrimination practiced in their own universities. Trustees To Meet Well, what is going to be the outcome of our agitation? Considerable fubilation is being, manifested by the prosecution of the board. Trustees to be the Durkee charges: but the writer does not share such optimism and wishes to warn all his readers not to be with him. While a vote of confidence is likely to be the outcome, unless perchance the Doctor of Blunders is advised secretly, the prosecution will job better suited to his "pulpit and platform talents." Tried Three Times The reader must remember that Dr. Durkee himself is a member of the Board of Trustees. On two attempts to have himself selected to clean on the third attempt. Instead of being the servant of the trustees he is their peer. They are now asked to oust one of their number, and it is not uncommon for colleagues, especially when the other members have not initiated the charges. In fact, the trustees are really being forced to hold this position go through a process for which they have absolutely no stomach. Didn't Insult Trustees Had Dr. Durkee offended his colleagues, they would have been speedy in expelling him, but his offenses of insulting the entire Nogro race, or such members who sincerely decry Jimcrowism in any form. He has done nothing worse than to demean the entire Nogro race of the N: A. A. C. P. a society that says it believes in equal opportunity for all, regardless of color, and then he took the Nogro race to Boston, where he kept his doors harred to colored applicants. Sinclair and Walker When Dr. Sinclair offended his colleagues, they did not hostile to show him the way out. They pointed out that he was not when Dr. Durkee accused him of causing embarrassment during the strike. Though this venerable genius was not a money man, he was dropped because his colleagues became offended at his alleged action. Board Is One Way The point is that a Howard Trustee may treat a professor or the public in any manner that pleases him and he does not become guilty of any offence, but once let him disagree with his colleagues, and of the Board he goes. Say what you do. Board is a "one-way" organization. Trustees Know All The trustees come pretty near knowing the weaknesses of their colleagues. If they do not, they are candidates for the home for the desperate. They don't have a day's work when they elected such a notice to a position needing experience and strength. They know that they have done everything that he has asked to make him possible, but the blunders merely have made him worse. Have not known, these articles have taught them. Dr. Durkee has made feeble attempts to answer with the pens of others, but his attempts have made the case against him. The trustees, therefore, are know all that the writer knows. In Bad Humor With such knowledge they have no problem. The edi-meeting is forcing them to journey to Washington a month or two before their regular semi-annual meeting. They do not like it, and some have said so, or at least are quoted as saying so. Will their resentment have any effect upon their judg- President Brown, spokesman of the trustees, says that there is nothing wrong with the administration of Dr. "The illusion of the ill-affected group." Other trustees have echoed this sentiment and will report to the meeting with this opinion. The worst form of blindness comes from unavailability to see, Brets and arguments will avail but little with men whose minds are made up. If, therefore, this hearing succeeds in winning at least three sympathizers, as much as may be expected will be accomplished. Trustees Elect Selves The curse of the whole situation in the self-perpetuating feature of the trustees is that they are unable to be responsible to agency. They elect themselves and are consequently responsible to themselves only. Public servants must necessarily become responsible to creating agencies, and in a democracy, prevention must be put into putting men into responsible positions. On To Congress The efforts of the alumni should be concentrated upon Congress. There only, lies the cure of all the issues that Congress spends Congressional funds, but Congress has absolutely no control over the selection of trustees. This anomalous situation is contrary to the best interests of Howard University. While the trustees are making up their minds, to meet, the alumni should prepare a forceful brief for Congress showing how they would treat trustees creation. The next article will treat this situation. Perry Howard Fuss Goes To Congress Perry Howard Fuss Goes To Congress Washington, D. C.—War of the Brotherhood Sleeping Car Porters against Perry W.

FREEDMENS ASKS MORE NURSES Washington.-The greatest need of the Freedmen's Hospital for the coming year is more nurses, according to the annual report of W. A.

At no time in the history of the hospital, the report states, has it been fully manned and the need of additional personnel has been 1905. The urgency has come more pressing each year with the ever increasing demands of the public and the ongoing progress of the present nurses as well as the success of the training school will be seriously affected unless relief is granted, the report continues. In the fiscal year there were 215 patients in the hospital. During the year 4,966 were admitted for treatment, making a total of 4,181 of the number admitted, including birth, 360 were pay patients; 1,563 were indigenous residents of the States; and 1,333 were indigenous residents of the District of Columbia.

It was more bitter than the race question. Gallies and judas was the little mountain country of Samarita occupied by a mixed and half-heathen people. Jew hated Samaritan and Samaritan paid double, plush piles that had no dealings with each other. "Although Jesus realized all this he refused to be excited or discouraged. Eg. knew the only remedy he could do was himself the friend of both. He made it a point to speak well of the Samaritans to his own people. He made a Samaritan the hero of one great preacher with intelligence, violence with gentleness, hate with love."

Ten to Two From the start of the deliberations at 11:25 A.M., Friday, ten of the men favored the verdict as it now stands.

The jurors asked in the affirmative that they should answer in the affirmative. The jury rejected Justice Morsechauer's question. They took it to mean that they were to decide whether the other woman was Alice Jones if he had known she was a Negro. The opinion of the other ten was that Mrs. Morsechauer "shepherded" a woman, only partly Negro. "All the discussion centered about the definition of the word Negro." Convined They were convinced R.

(Mrs. Reynolds is the woman of New Rochelle, testified she interviewed Rhineland after her marriage while he still was living with his wife, and he was married to her. She asked her to keep it a secret.) "It was the testimony of Mrs. Reynolds that finally decided the jury on the answer to question No. 6. This question led the jurors to answer other."

HARLEM CHUCKLES OVER NEW BOOK Countee Cullen Blames Wayward Verses On His Ma And Pa POET DOESN'T THINK MUCH OF BALTIMORE Insult Of Impolite White Youth All He Can Remember New York—Harlem is chuckling over the new book of verses by Countee C. Pullen, son of a well-known Harlem pastor. Cullen blames his wayward poems on his "Ma and Pa." His father is a quiet man, he said, and his mother a Puritan. Between the lines, according to Cullen, they are not satisfied with his love poems which they term d'ill's art. In reply, says Cullen, "This poetry is not original from him, but inherited from his parents." PRINT OF THE FLOWER My mother is a quiet man with sober, steady ways; good clothes in fair skin; his niggas are like his days. My mother's life is paranit, no hint of cavalier goodness you're sure it can have little fear. And yet my father's eyes can boast how full his life has been: There hasn't them yet the lang-guid ghost Of some still sacred sin. And though my mother chants of God, And of the mystic river, ... I've seen a bit of checkered sod Set all her flesh aquiver. Why should he deem it pure ml chance A son of his is fain To do a naked tribal dance Each time he hears the rain And should she think it devil's art That all my songs should be Of love and lovers, broken heart, and wild sweet agony? Who plants a seed begets a bud, Extract of that same root Why marvel at the hectic blood That flashes this wild fruit? On Baltimore Cullen doesn't think much of Bal- time. His visit here while a youth and his insult by a young white lad are all that he can remember of this city. Here is the poem, "In- ident." INCIDENT Once riding in old Baltimore. Heart-filled, head-filled with glee, I saw a Baltimorean Keep looking straight at me. Now I was eight and very small, And he was no wilt bigger. He had no nose, he had pulled out His tongue, and called me. "Nigger." I saw the whole of Baltimore From May until December; Of all the things that happened there That's all that I remember. That Faster Cullen, the elder, is not having an easy job bringing up his son in the straight and narrow mother of Cullen's poems on "Gods." No wonder the pastor of one of the churches in New York is not satisfied with the poetry his, son writes and refers to it as "devil's art." "GODS" I fast and pray and go to church And put my penny in. But God's not fooled by such slight And I'm not saved from sin. I cannot hide from Him the gods, that revel my heart. No one can find an easy word To tell them, to depart; God's alabaster turrets gleam too high for me to win. Unless He turns His face and lets Me bring my own gods in. Pastor Cullen is a former-Baltimorean. He is the pastor of the Salem A.-M. E. Church. His son, Cullen Cullen is barely 22 years old and is still in college. Young Cullen has won every poetry prize of note in New York and this year won the Harvard poetry prize. The poems quoted above are in his first volume of poems.

"It is an easy matter to receive from one and the same native, and with it may be, contrary replies to the same question, according as the latter is put. Professor Ross does not know the native language, nor, we believe, possesses one of the population. He was obliged to employ several interpreters, but the interpreter he employed naturally translated in a manner that the man who said him, "I Citing the fact that there is scattered a single Portuguese soldier in the colonies of Angola and Mozambique; that the territories are ruled by civil war; that uprisings have occurred repeatedly in other African colonies which have been put down after great bloodshed, da Costa wonders why the Ross Commission did not visit these localities.

There is always a glamour of romance hovering about the pioneer days in the baskinbrick clad societies in the fearless riders of the plains. The entire atmosphere of the Western country during this era is redolent of romance that would excite the imagination of a stock-fish.

So many patrons were unable to view the showing of the "Ten Commandments" recently, that their insistent demand has caused the management to book the feature for a return on next Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Sacramento was rocking with gambling and the efforts of the Vigilantes to suppress it by forcing deportation of notorious characters desecrates the ocean.

Parina climbs in and rides in the top of the hill, and before Parina knows what is happening she is on one wild ride which ends when she collides with a watermelon wagon. Parina always distinguishes herself anyway, but in "One Wild Ride" she is given full play for about half the picture and proves conchively that she is a successful successor she registers, fear, cynicity and nonchalance.

Ink, calve curses STALED T crawl out of WEVE GOT Washington, D. C.—Accused of extorting money from 11 persons they arrested in a raid on the Actor's Rest, a theatrical hotel at 1227 Seventh St., N. W., four officers of the Second precinct station were suspended early Sunday morning and relieved of their equipment. Thy were Charles W. Reed, Jeff O. Hicks, H. L. Sebastian, and C. H. Hogan. Accusations were made in statements by eleven residents of the hotel. Among the accusers was the proprietor Carmett Warbington and Mrs. Charlotte Warbington, his wife. After making the accusations picked the four policemen from those reporting for duty at midnight yesterday. All of the accused denied knowledge of the attack and confronted with the armed agreement. The eleven persons said that the policemen broke into the hotel early Saturday morning and ordered Warbington, his wife, and all guests under arrest. Although no papers were served, all were charged they said, with a statutory offense. It is alleged that they were asked to pay $50 each collateral. This was reduced, and only after Warbington said that he would go to Jail rather than pay, did the police collect $21 according to the statement. Beat Guests Up The policemen are also accused of beating Warbington, Edward White, and their wives. The women and two men were struck in their faces and knocked down, while White and his wife were dragged to the street and turned free only after paying $10 they charged. Hogan is accused of pocketing the money. It is said that he told them the money was for collateral, and that it would be better for them to forfeit. Others who accused the policemen were Lillian Goodner, Richard Perry and W. May Williams, Virginia L. Gray and Frank Douglass. PRODUCERS CLEAN UP ON RHINELANDER FILM Kip And Bride Filmed Without Knowledge And Being Publicly Shown New York—The Rhinelander case has been released in a 200 foot film *Have You Seen the Dell and Jackson.*) The producers claim to have some real shots of both Kip Rhinelander and his wife. These pictures were taken principally around the White Plain court where the celebrated trial was held. Mrs. Rhinelander is said to have objected to being photographed, taken to be photographed, and have been taken when he was not aware of a film camera being in action. No releasing channel has yet been arranged. The Beijacks picture was taken in the part of Oscar Micheaux, the film producer, who is said to have taken "The House Behind the Cedars," taken from Charles W. Chitsenau's famous novel, and which parallel our eyes. A top line was added to the origina- tional image of the Rhinelander Case." The picture booked into several Harlem houses and the original special window cards the added line turned the trick. The line, it is as still being used for ex- plication. A quintet of "real" acts are on the Hornstein's jay-roll this week. Lee (Kussell) and Wright are cast as the two men possessing his always delightful burtone tones, sing his way to popularity on Monday night. Miss Wright is effective with the tone and the hairs on his chest, that exacted several bowls. Phil and Clarice, a mixed team of legionnaires, in the second frame of the show, exist in existence, and then make up a few as they went along. The pain look as good as they dance, and dance as good as they look. Paper men, the musicians, who begged for a Charleston, until they were obliged to come back. Alexander Lovejoy, who has just returned home after a tour of the United States, burlesque in Chicago, was sent on third. His monologue "clicked," and his old masterpiece "I am satisfied" was a roc. They certainly knew him. Hart and Francis, a white novelty act, with hoops, hat throwing, and juggling had the buyers on their knees. The ballerina (Palmer) Palmer and (Violette) Palme rue latter (formerly Violette Albaugh) were placed in the closing spot. The ballerina stopped on Monday evening that proved a revelation to the customers who are about "fed up" on the Charleston and the other city. The partner looked good in her frocks, and is as dainty as of yore. Aaron will return to the "Bathing Beauties" show with his present partner.

Good vaudeville and musicals are so difficult to book consistently in the houses this season since the inroads of burlesque and cabarets on the talent that managers are hard put to keep their houses going. The only solution that seems feasible for the least amount of money under the direction of capable producers. Rotating principals and choristers at given periods would serve to add the necessary novelty to the entertainment. There are at least a hundred young men and women capable of writing new material, staging the music. Artists to be engaged are legion.

The Artists Golden Rule There is a mistaken belief among laymen that artists of the stage are not as devout as their brethren on the outside of the theatre, but the thought is all wrong. It is possible to cite numberless cases to show that the performers can furnish a number of PRACTICAL CHRISTIANS as great as may be found in any group at any time, and you will note a spontaneous response. Let illness or death overtake one of their number and then watch the Golden Rule in action.

Mother Ill Lying ill with pneumonia in a small attic room, the mother of five little husband had been injured several years ago and cannot work regularly. He had been nursing his wife and did not know that freezing would have prevented the doctor immediately visited and prescribed medicine and proper diet. She is today convalescing, but the milk must be continued for a month. Father Dead Injured by a blow on the head while at work, Mr. G. became injured and compensation was received but this was inadequate. One month ago he was injured and his life insurance ceased. His life insurance was only enough to bury him. Mrs. G. A. ready a wage earner is not able to pay for the family of 6. In February her oldest boy will go to work and this week he is needed to buy the food. Father Gone The mother of James, Robert and Samuel is only 24 years of age. When the worker from the Family Museum came to age the father had deserted. For months he had not been providing for his family adequately, the children were dreadfully undernourished and the food of that she was it. She is a devoted mother and had deprived herself of food to give to her children. Every effort has been made to provide proper food the family is regaining its strength. In a short time the mother hopes to become partially self supporting. Until that time $10 will care for them a month. Coal Needed The A family is composed of six attractive boys, who live a normal, peaceful life in an intelligent mother. Their father deserted them six months ago and all efforts to locate them have been a working part time in a restaurant, but it is impossible to earn enough for their needs. A mother is necessary to heat their rooms. $10 Needed Living alone in a three-story back room, "Aunt Latty" is living out her days. Everyone in the house and interesting bits of the town's history can be gained in friendly chats with her. She is the widow of a janitor of splendid reputation, and her husband's last illness all of their savings were ax-husted. Aunt Letty can no longer work because she would go to Bay View, but among strangers she would not be happy. Her diet is light and cost of maintaining her is very little. To cover this for one month $10 is Babes Need Milk Several days ago the nurse in the nearby clinic asked that one quart of milk be sent each to the child for six months. These children had been found frightfully underweight. The milk was ordered immediately and in visiting the home it was given only $18 a week. In all they have seven children and it is impossible to buy three quarts of milk a day. The mother formerly helped her with large family, has her hands full. If these children are to live and have good health, this diet must be followed better paying job will be sought. $12 will provide this milk for one month. Blankets And Milk Wanted During the past year, Mrs. M. has had a trying time. Her husband died from typhoid fever the previous year, the breadwinner. This proved too great for her frail body and a complete breakdown was warranted in hospitalization and the proper care at home have not brought her back to normal health because she was too weak to care for her children, a dependent. Her six children are a great comfort to her and she is a good mother. Extremely tired and overcome her anxieties. At this time she is greatly in need of a pair of warm blankets and a quart $20 IS NEEDED for several months. Father Dead; Mother Ill Alice who is fourteen, has just grown up and is an errand girl to help care for her brother. Her father is dead and her mother is an invalid. All she needs is a ton of coal is badly needed here. $60 Needed Nearly a year ago Mr. M. deser-ted his family, leaving his wife to alone care for their children, and was successful until illness overtook her. She has a bad curvature of the spine and a brace was necessary immediately. She is now able to get around. She is now paying for the things. Twenty dollars a month for the next three months will assure her of being able to stay with her little ones. $15 Will Help The sleeping conditions in the E household are. very crowded and if the children are to have any health they should be moved to a room. Both Mary and Rhea are the tuberculously inclined and every precaution must be taken. The doctor says too that a quarter milk daily. Each child has the parents cannot do either of these things because of an inadequate wage. $15 will put them into a new home and provide this diet. Call VErnon 016 A highly intelligent mother and father are fighting to keep their home together. Illness has prevented them from being as shortly after their marriage five years ago, Mr. W. Broke his leg. He has also paid for debts accumulated, which have not been paid off entirely. They now have three children and two weeks to go before they can pay their heart condition. A neighbor is looking after the mother and child, and the mother's wage of $15 cannot meet these expenses. Coal, medicine and extra food must be bought. $25 will meet this emergency. Old Couple In Need Living alone in two small rooms, Mr. and Mrs. J. are living out their dreams, but they don't know what to do so they do not have this comfort in old age. Mr. J. has a chronic heart condition and Mrs. J. rheumatism. They are born with a hospital and dread the thought of the "poor house." The cost of maintaining them is little. Months will be a sorrowful times if this assurance is not given them. Father Disabled Stricken with inflammatory rheumatism several months ago, Mr. J. was forced to give up his job. He has had to take care of his treatment and the doctors have little hope for his recovery. In the meantime his wife is working part time in a hair dressing parlor and is particularly self-supporting. They have it on them so it is not worth her for them enough for everything. $5 a week is necessary to supplement her budget for food. Blankets Needed The cold wintry nights find jimmie and Thomas shivering in their beds. They are most uncomfortable as they do not have the proper bed cover because of the skilled mechanic, but because of an eye condition can no longer work at his trade. He earns now only $15 a week as a laborer. His wife is still thinking that she can to help but somehow they cannot buy any blankets. $10 would fix them up and make this world a warmer place for them. Father Ill A new baby has just arrived in the B. home, which is sad, because Mr. B. is ill in a sanitarium. The doctors are very hopeful of his recovery, but that he remains several months longer. This he will do if we can assure his wife that she and her children, two others besides the baby, will be cared for. The source cannot do any work outside of her home for some time. $20 is needed to tide them over the month of Christmas.

HEAD HERE CRITICIZES SHOW Linwood Koger Says "Brown- For Children PICTURE INSPECTOR REFUSES TO COMMENT Local Ministerial Groups Make Tour Of Investigation. No Report Yet Mr. Linwood Koger, president of the local branch N. A. A. C. P., denounced in positive terms the Brown Skin Models which played at a local theatre last week. In an interview on Tuesday morning he said that he felt that many of the scenes shown were unit to be witnessed by children. Some of the bad features were eliminated after Monday night. "For some time," said Koger, "I have made a checkup of the vaudeville shown in the theatres in Baltimore, and feel that most of it is unfit for minds that are unable to discriminate. Burlesque theatres have found it proper to exchance children under experience and inducements. Perhaps this would be a good chance to follow in the places where boys and girls go. Particularly so when some of the presentations on the stage are virtually BURLESQUE. Puts Children First Asked if he thought the pictures were to be placed in the same category he said, "No; Maryland has a conscientious Board of Censors, and they eliminate all that it is humanly possible to believe would be injurious. I am kindly disposed to those of the managers who have at many times been the ultimate good of our children above ANY MANAGER IN THE CITY. With my own children I shall adopt a plan of keeping them away." Inspector Retlcnt Mrs. Sadie Dorsey, inspector of motion pictures, said that she had been approached by several persons, and asked to intervene in the situation. Mrs. Murray said that she was unable to do as requested, for her duties consumed all of the time. "I'm not an authority on the vaudeville situation thus cannot comment on it." Gives Censor Rules "The rigid rules of the Censor Board prevent Injurious pictures from being shown, and I am satisfied that the manufacturers all have high ideals and are not turning out the same inferior grade of films as were found years ago. You may say for me, however, that my superiors are adamant in enforcing the law, and if the students of deoxygenated they establish, is loovingly violated, woe be to the one doing so." Ministers Investigate For some time ministerial bodies have been quietly investigating theatres, but no report has yet been made public.

New York—The opinion of reviewers on the introduction of Alfred Chilferrell's jazz symphony, "Jazz America" at Aeolian Hall on Sunday seemed devergent. Harry Yerkes* "Syncopating Symphonists" played the symphony at "Beale Street" and St. Louis Blues of W. C. Handy and the "Limehouse Blues." One reviewer said in part that it was almost always interesting and sometimes quite lovely. But it was not jazz. The movements seemed that the writer had not done very to be de-juzed. Another option he had was music that was original or creative fitted into the symphonic strait jacket, while the instrumental scheme is that of Tchalkowsky. The jazz symphony is a gibble piece of work, which goes to show how utterly separate from contemporary music the roots, are American popular music and symphonic composition.

FOR MEN nothing to nothing. Coaches out this way refuse to teach anything like modern football. It would undoubtedly go against the grain. Then too, there is always the danger of overtaxing the brain of our youth. Anyhow, one forward pass was completed for a twenty yard gain during the afternoon and several beautiful end runs only lost from one to two and a half yards. They persisted in running from one end to the other not the end of the field or the goal posts) but rather as we say from tackle to tackle or more exactly from the left end to the extreme right end. The formations were "lumberingly impressive. They snapped into it. I mean, of course, the nothing to nothing score. This is my second trip to see Howard and Lincoln. It was completely dazzled by the social whirl last year in Washington, but all the gourman was gone this time in Philly with Jazz Byrd absent by graduation. Only the pomp and grandeur of those distant old Philadelphia's remained to make the 1915 game result "nothing." The high light of the game to me was the business like efficiency and courtesy of Dr. W. G. Alexander. It was commensurate with that of Dr. J. Scott, last year in Washington. The Who's Who list is best recorded by those absent. Anthony Overton, president of Douglass National Bank and Victory Life Insurance, Durham, C. M. C. Mrs. E. A. Malone, of the Poro College; W. E. B.

BY U. S. YOUNG Coach Lincoln University and Vice President of Young's Athletic Asso- lation, Oxford, Pa. The season of 1925 is over. In many respects the greatest event in the history of the game. No Saturday passed without the done heels up. From point of interest and en- thusiasm this coach has made its headway on the public mind. This large- ly because it is a real team when one team or school no matter how small is certain to lose to its opponent. The day of set-up games is passing. The public always welcomes a condition of this sort. Coach Young BROOKLYN sort. The Lions have aunch Young them. The Lions have aremarkable season. Starting off in a luscious manner and coming back with a punch that startled the football world. The wrestlers in being consist in being able to win all of its games, but in the ability of a team to suffer defeat and come back strong. The games for the Lions early showing are many. The chief reason, however, was a low morale. Once the Lions had been imbued with the Lincoln spirit, the King has ever shown power and strength. The greatest of all games to any Lincoln man is the Howard-Lincoln Classics. All other games are the same. But Lincoln entered the Thanksgiving game the under dog. The dope was that Lincoln should lose by at least two or three touchdowns. Pew expected that the Lions would Referees Erud While the official score stands 0-0 it is certainly questionable whether the correct with reference to the first goal from the field attempted. Personally, I feel that an error ledged the game and this, because of the very action of the officials in making their decisions. But Lincoln will not contest the game, although he did in the second with thousands of the game stands 3-0 in favor of Lincoln. Despite the fact that Howard was doped and not hesitant to those to whom I talked that Lincoln would beat Howard by at least three touchdowns. In view of the game as actually played, six touchdowns were lost three touchdowns better than Howard. Why was Lincoln able to play such an aggressive game in the main morale. Lions Lose 9 Players. Nine of the players participating in the last Thanksgiving game were playing their last year for their Captain Tad Lancaster. Big Boy Calloway. Hobson. Toodie. Wilson. Goodman. Butts. Brown. Lee and Speed Taylor had reached the climax of their athletic playing of these players is evidence of the determination that their Alma Mater's banner should not trail in In the passing of these men Lincoln loses some of the greatest, cleanest, and most beautiful heroes entered her doors. With tears in their eyes and fire in their souls these men on last Thanksgiving Day could not beaten by any team in the country. I would have it known that as coach of these men I feel they have standard and an ideal award which the Lincoln teams in the future will ever look to as an example to follow.

Lincoln Univ. Football Team I must admit that this is my initial opportunity in reviewing a football game from my school, which have participated and I am hoping that my readers will bear with me in what I have to say in regards to this past How-To. Classic. It is the outstanding truth that Howard University, in the eyes of the majority of students, decided favorite. I can attribute this fact to two decided reasons; first, because of the defeat which she suffered in the game, John was so overwhelmingly defeated by earlier in the season and secondly because of her numerous stars that she drew the line and her fleet footed backfield. Not having seen Howard in action may uncover in the sixty minutes, that would be allotted to her. But we did know from past experience she would have allowed to make the first charge it would be to our disaster. Although our season perhaps, for many years we hoped, we entered the game as the "underdog," which oftentimes is a great asset to a team for it installs in a team the player who adds which seem to rent the air. "For a team that will not be beaten, can't be beaten." It was with determination that we placed the field of play. For ten of us it was our last opportunity to execute our football ability for dear old Lincoln and saying, "Howard has never defeated a Lincoln Team while I was an underdog, winning the toss I selected to kick to Howard, for I was aware that the team that would got the first break of the game would no doubt have easy going the rest of Anderson made a nice kick to Howard's left corner. Smith, somewhat surprised, returned it a few times. He was greeted by Grassy. Before the next play could be executed by Howard, Capt. Long had been knocked unconscious. This threw a decided scare into his defense, exposing "Who is it, Capt. Long?" Gee? "Oh, My." Capt. Long rallied, but he soon disappeared to the sidelines, and seemingly in a daze, failed to gain and a short kick was resorted to. It was not long before he had reached Howard's 15-yard line. We tried Howard ends and ends, but the first opportunity to score, but Anderson found it difficult to complete his passes because of Howard's charging line. We surely were surprised to see Deckle McLean and Miller in the first line-up. Then our next thought was that they must be saving them. The first quarter unnered nothing but straight football. The second quater uncovered Howard's triple pass behind the line. I think it was designed for a stashing end, but I don't think it was conservative game it can be of no consequence. My tackle complained of being hit by three men on this play. Because this play did not net any gain it soon was discarded. After Dodson broke away for one of his first long runs was New York—New Yorkers who have watched Harry Wills for years express themselves as deeply disappointed in his recent fights. They say he tries, that the longer he goes the more he fades, that when he meets opposition he backs up. On the other hand, those close to Wills say that few in the east appreciate how strong Harry is. He is one of the most powerful men in the ring today. He can handle men as if they were naughty children and handle them easily. He is a marvelous straight fighter when he wants to be. Dempsey is essentially a hook puncher and can be a muscular fighter. He sees an opening. He depends on the leverage of his arms with the elbow as a fulcrum. Dempsey has found this lift-fitting weapon. The bolts are only possible for fighters who battle flat-footed. They must set to deliver them. Jimmy Johnson was trained Johnson. Wills had rhythm of footwork and placed in position for a placement kick. We had been through and was a sure kicker from placement. I slipped behind him when the kick was attempted. It was the fourth down and the ball was given to us and we started on our march down the field. The half ending 0-0. The second half brought a first-and-a half team that had surpassed the team. "Dockle" McClean; a noted-and heralded forward passer, was filling Howard's pilot position. He soon resorted to his well known hobbit coach, to be concocted by Coach Young and Coach Martin to take precaution in regards to McClean's forwards, it soon proved unprofitable for four players, several long runs by "Speed" Taylor, "Butts" Brown and Anderson. We resorted to two tricks from placeme;; the first one was ruled no good by Washington, who was standing to one side of the goal line, from the field play looked good. Referee Gibson, when I questioned him, said he had held a conference with Washington, and they were condescension. I don't know whether Henderson had anything to say or not in this conference. I don't think Henderson was assidert as a footnote to this conference, he be scared, for I noticed him standing near the sidelines when my team was in the center of the field. He only offered one penalty for this, but this conclusion when he said that Lee failed to report to him on entering the game. This was untrue for Lee surely reported to him but he didn't mention the location as an umbrella should to the referee by means of a whistle. Joe Carter, a fleet lad, had given somewhat of a surprise when he twice in his tracks. Our second attempt at a field goal went wild of its mark, but Anderson was not rushed. It was his over-engagement in getting kick off that perhaps the miss. Grasty got his usual blocked kick Thursday and he almost became the hero when he picked up the oval in the last minutes of play. After having played four consecutive years against a forward, it is any one of them that Lincoln played the end of its best games against a team that was a sure winner. Surely the credit is given Anderson for far surpassing Dodson in his kicking. Hibler and Goodman for bringing down Dodson to earth after he had sidestepped everyone but these two men who played the positions of a family of Hibler, for kicking Miller, "Dan" Wilson, "Tiny" Calloway, Walker, Grasty, Polk, and Toodis for holding Howard's forwards in check. "Ruts" Brown ran the team in good form; his head work will never be forgotten and can safely say that he had the confidence of his teammates every minute of the same essentials that every user-back looks for. There could be much said about each individual player, but it was a Lincoln team; one in spirit, one in determination and one in purpose that caused us to display the fight that had been instilled in us by the coaches and our loyal supporters. It was our name. Wills Does His Risk In Short Battles who armwork in his long-distance attack on Johnson's body. The three blows which practice, Johnson wrote, were all shot in just above the belt and all landed. Johnson was fearful of his chin. The holding trick which wounds puller to ap. He drew Johnson's left hand over in a clinch and let the glove rest on both Johnson's hands. Harry landed a terrific blow over the heart. All in all, Johnson had as bad a time as he would have had with Dempsey, and he was bit over at a base, then Dempsey would have covered. Showings of Bout Explained A commissioner in Newark explained the shortness of the Johnson bout in this way: "Wills is usually a cautious fighter with abandon. Had he been cautious with Johnson I think the bout might have gone four or five fans at the ringside weed not very boisterous. There was a disappointed yelp when the towel came into the ring; they were martyred by the speed and wanted to see him continue. tions for Christmas NOW KERMAN'S Opposite Lafayette Market Gift Suggestions - Silk Lounging Robes Heaters — Silk and Knitted Auto and Dress Gloves - Shopping Up-town and Time and Money OUT IN HOLIDAY BOXES FREE E STREET 83 Years Experience WATSON HAILED AS HOWARD'S GREATEST COACH Bisons Have Not Lost A Single ATHLETES ARE AWARDED CERTIFICATES, AND "H"s Washington—Officers, teachers, student-body and football team were uninhibited in voting Coach Louis Watson one of the greatest mentors Howard had had and the team the best of the history of the school and the best of the exercises in home and off-field, undefeated eleven at Chapel, last Wednesday noon.

WATSON, the speakers were Edgar P. Weston, former Howard player, now member of the Armstrong faculty; Captain Edgar Long, who praised splendid coaching practices used by Coach Weston and West. P. D. Davis, chairman of the Board of Athletic Control, had the following to say in reference to the arms record under Watson and Wilson from some quarters to criticize his work. MAGNET LOST A GAME. "Captain Watson had charge of the coaching at Howard during the seasons, 1923 and 1925, and he had an unbeatable defense and a steady effective offense. Eight games were played during each of the seasons he coached. These records were made against the most formidable rivals in the country and not against nondescript teams. Remarkable feature of this accomplishment is that in each season Coach Watson was forced to group of men he did not play, but did it into a machine to play some of the best teams in the country. "Not only were they top notch teams, but almost every case they were veteran teams with the same coaching system directing them for a college team," the TERRE ROCER THAN MICHIGAN. "A short while ago, Yest, the famous Alain Blanc, took occasion to play his 1952 team. He called it the best team he had ever coached (he has coached for more than 60 years). He told that his team had its greatest by holding a conference team to three first downs. "This statement published as a great comment. How many have noted Watson's record at Howard. His 1225 team held N. Carolina. State a 70-9 score. He was the strong Atlanta University team to a 7-0 score and $ to 0 first gown. Yost lost several games. Sony has not won in this two years."

Captain Walter Shorts' entire squad of 23 players got a crack at the Vocational boys before the game ended. Douglas has a first team the equal of the 1224 squad and a plentiful array of reserve strength. Four complete teams with a number of substitutions took a hand in the opening fray; it will be a hard matter to pick a first team from the two first squads that took the filler for the high school. Captain Shorts has arranged 29 games that will take in some of the best dribblers in high school circles. The next contest will be a return game with the Vocational school on the Douglas program. Friday, December 11 and the follow-up play will play the alumni at the school. In the semi final, Class 1-B-4, won 1-4 to 3 victory from 1-B-2. a 4 to 3 victory from 1-3.

S, THOUSANDS OF Pressed Men We Have Been To Say:~ Misses of Fineman To Say The Same Made To Massure $32.50 UP RANGED SPORTS MIRROR BY APRO SPORTS EDITOR "DUCKS" WINGS WERE CLIPPED, SAYS MINSON Robert Minson, manager of the Booker T Washington High School football team, Norfolk, Va., says the Douglass high squad of Baltimore did not lose the game to the Bookers as a result at a break in bus that took the team to Norfolk causing them to Norfolk a few minutes before game time. Douglass was outplayed, said Manager Minson, and scored in the last quarter when Couch Wilson put in the union team. Mr. Ammons II, of the Afro-American contained a statement which I heard. The statement concerns the football game between Doylegrass High School and the Booker T. Washington High School played November 20. School. The statement was to the effect that the Douglass Team lost the game due to a break down of their motor bus, being on the road all night and arrived in Norfolk a half an hour after the game had been called. This last statement is incorrect. The Douglass Team arrived in Norfolk about 10:20 A. M. reported to the Booker T. Washington High School in Messrs Gibson and Johnson and to breakfast and breakfast in places. The game was scheduled to begin at 3:00 five hours after their arrival in Norfolk, their lateness in arriving at the park was due to the fact that repairs were being made on their motor bus and not to the statement that they were just arriving. The Douglas High School Football Team needs no apology for the loss of the game to Washington High School any more than they do for the loss of the game to Armstrong. We found the Douglas Team to be a fine, mainly seated sportspen and it gave us jameson. This fact is mentioned: The score was 19 to 0 up to the last half of the fourth quarter, when Coach Wilson put in the Junior Team SCHOLARS OUT OF THE BUNNING Withing the next two weeks basketball will be in full swing. Scholastics have been disbanded and the team will be led by the Scholars this season said Manager "Jole" Staudens this week, as the players left on the team after a number had quit to join other clubs would not meet the standard set by the managers. A serious crimp was put in their line up when "Agile" Ward, at the center, was killed last summer. Tom Wheatley, raters at the stance, said he was excited to hit his lot with the Scholastics the first of the season, but later went into the Athenian camp. A heavy program had been planned for the winter, but a financial difficulties played an important part in the break. Manager Saunders said an effort would be made to put the club in the Manager MORGAN BEARS TAKE TO THE COURT Coach "Jim" Law of Morgan expressed the opinion that his Bears will duplicate their success on the court this winter. A schedule is being arranged that will bring the Bears into contact with nearly all the schools in the C. L. A. A. Howard and Wil伯力force will also figure in contests here with the Orioles are being groomed to meet the best girl quins playing in the East. Their opening game expected in the Celtics. Both are in the playoff encounter. The Douglass high school has lost several good players, but Captain Shorts has a wealth of excellent material that he expects to develop into a winning combination. "Dick" Whittington, captain of the local guild last year, is at Lincoln University and stands in excellent chance of making a return. SIX TEAMS IN THE AFRO LEAGUE The AFRO League will get under way about December 19. Six teams are already entered and things will hum when this aggregation takes the floor. Grace has won 11 stakes and the AFRO league is being wagered. The Turquise is another first class bunch that will seek laurels and the AFRO trophy this year.

Thoughts Of The Founder The labor problem is now taking on a vexing phase, and it is up to the strong, able-bodied young colored man to do a good deal toward solving it. Thousands of Negroes are finding employment on railroads, in the car shops, mines and factories, not because they can be gotten cheaper than white labor, but because of the satisfaction given by the colored worker, earner. "Let us be prepared to take work wherever it can be found." J.M. Mullery Colored folk are loyal Americans, they are entitled to protection, and equality before the law. Those who do violence against them should be held for their crimes. this is what President Coolidge declares in his message to the new Congress which opened the new term, that criminals should be punished whether their violence is aimed at blacks or whites. This includes such criminals as the police attacked the jail at Snow Hill, Md., recently, assaulted the sheriff and were only thwarted from lynching through steel bars. Governor Ritchie says it's not his job to see that the Snow Hill criminals are being punished, the first to "howl" states rights should Congress pass a federal anti-mob law punishing by federal courts the Snow Hill mob. It is because of such passive state executives as Governor Ritchie that President Coolidge finds it necessary for the governors and swimmers. If Governor Ritchie were the advocate of law and order North Carolina has in Government there would be no need of Representative Dyers' Anti-Lunching Bill introduced Monday in the House, Lunching, the South's chief pastime, would swimmers recognize action in a mob would subject them to the same punishment they would receive if they acted alone. The Coolidge bill aimed at mobs is announcement to Congress that the country is not discouraged because of the failure of law makers last year to enact the Dyer bill. President puts the issue squarely up to Congress again. He is not behind the Dyer bill but he is for some measure against it. If the Dyer bill is not the measure the country needs, then there are brains enough in Congress to make it over into an acceptable piece of legislation. Congress will not be able to shirk its responsibility for law and order because its client's message is a reminder and a proof which cannot go unheeded. Thru Her Hat Lincoln's purpose in emancipating the slaves was to have Negroes unharmed upon them so that soldiers in the Confederate armies would be compelled to return and protect them. Lincoln was a white, president-general of the United Daughters of the Confederate in an address delivered at Spartanburg, S. C., Wednesday of last month. Lincoln's plan failed, she said, because "to the credit of the violence follow the emancipation." Mrs. Lawton's statement reminds City officials in Baltimore City Count seven others in the sanction.

Mississippi Mississippi leads in lynchings, 550 since 1882. There were five this year. Mississippi seems to be a noun. L. N.

The faculty of Hampton consists of both races, about equally divided. The president, Dr. E. J. regg, is white. There never has been any friction between members of the faculty or between faculty and students. The Angio-Saxon clubs of Virginia constitute an organization whose aim is race purity. Social equality of the races is frowned upon by the "Angio-Saxons" who, falling to persuade President Gregg to set apart separate seats for white and colored in the Institute chapel, now take the matter to the state legislature. The Virginia law makers are asked by resolution of the clubs, to pass a bill making it unworthy for colored and white to sit together in the same public meetings. For 58 years Hampton Institute has been an agency creating good will between the races in the South. It is the birth place of what is known as industrial education and has produced Booker T. Washington and Robert R. Moton. For over half a century the best in both races worked side by side for the education of the race farthest down. During this time Hampton has prospered. With a thousand students and 250 workers it has a plant worth three million dollars and an endowment of five million. It is the biggest educational institution in Virginia, black or white. Rather than be annoyed by the Ku Klux Klan and the Anglo Saxon whose platform is race hate rather than race harmony. Maryland Invites Hampton to move its plant, bag and baggage up the Chesapeake Bay to Maryland soil. Maryland has room for a Hampton Institute. This state will not interfere with the school administration or with the seating arrangements in Hampton chapel. Maryland will even guarantee to quadruple the pitiful $2,080 a year the state of Virginia contributes each year as an appropriation to Hampton. Come up the key to the free soil of Maryland is the state's invitation to Hampton Institute. The Rhinelander jury in White Plains, New York, last week broke with tradition by declaring that Mrs. Kip Rhinelander is not a "Negro", but "colored." The jury was advised that Mrs. Rhinelander is of colored blood. Her mother is an English woman, undoubtedly Caucasian. Her father is a West Indian of mixed blood. Her mother is a Caucasian and are classed as Negroes they may have fifteen sixteenth white blood. According to Florida law, if an individual has more than one-eighth blood other than white, he cannot be tried. Arkansas courts rule a person with the slightest trace of Negro blood is Negro regardless of how closely he resembles a Caucasian. A criminal law defines white people as those who have no trace whatsoever of any blood other than Caucasian (but persons have one-sixteenth American Indian blood are classed as In each of these four states, typical of the South, distinction is made between Negro and colored; none between Negro and colored. The Rhinelander jury in making such a distinction brings something of American independence. All In All Times have changed. Under the late General Agnus, colored people of Ballimore gleaned the news of the Baltimore American and the Baltimore Evening News. Thousands of these readers now turn to the Baltimore Sun, morning and evening newspapers because of the anti-Negro policy of the News and American under Wm. Hearst. The Sunpapers, after a conference with the capitalized word NEGRO, Hearst papers still use the small "n." The climax comes this week in a Christmas exhibit advertised as free to attend. An investigation by colored readers of the News and the American brings to light the fact that the ALL means all white readers. Hearsr papers have no objection. Hearsr papers want to give an exclusive exhibit to which whites alone are invited. We do think the Hearst management ought to be honest enough, however, to publish that There is the danger that some one might understand; the word ALL used in the Heart papers as the sad testimony.

She being the age to be interested in Santa Claus and to watch the Christmas decorations, I decided to take her to see his great show in the Hearst Tower Building. We were Friday evening, evening store closed, and until the door opened at 7 p.m. As we moved along the line officers had tickets and saw that everyone had tickets and I replied (yes). We moved on until we got to the door where we entered to see the dog as an Eskimo. He said to us, "Colored people next week! Watch the papers; go out this door, pointing to the next to the one we had come to." My daughter was very much disappointed as her little heart and mind was antsiph to see Santa and watching the paper but have never seen where it said that the colored people would see the show separate from the tree. The children may be rotten at any news stand. I think if the colored people who read the News and continue to read them, they respect them no more than it did me, they are foolish for taking it.

Grand Old Party is worried. On the surface, you will say, they have no reason for worry for they have a certain majority in the lower house of the Senate. But still they worry and here is where the race group should stick a pin. In many more legislators with the insurgent spirit now held in leash by the whip of party regularity, and on the political chess board many things are likely to happen. The mighty Anti-Saloon League, carrying with it the religious impact in politics, is making threats against the former official infusion of Wall Street wheat and corn. But not quieted the Western farm babies; and whatever the administration has not pleased our group by any means.

Bishop J. A. Gregg in Florida Times Union Cape Town, S. Africa.—The Mapabrings live just out from Rusenburg and have much of Florida, because of the extensive cultivation of oranges. They seem to be the most advanced in the region, to you from the strictly native territories. They live in good homes made of raw bricks with roofs of thatch or corrugated iron. The homes of the Mapabrings are not well to do are made of burned bricks. All of these houses are surrounded by spacious yards, enclosed by a fence, or ground around and high. The yards proper are about a foot or eighteen inches higher than the road or ground around and are surrounded by a fence. The material used is clay mixed with cow manure, which is beaten hard and smeared with a dark substance giving it a high, polish resininess. Women wear a long skirt, women take great pride in the fences, yards, stoops, floors and walls of their homes. With their fingers the Mapabrings design of surprising regularity. They make blue, white and red pigmented fabrics that have fingered designs and so symmetrical do they execute them that I thought one such wall paper would be with wall paper until I noticed an irregularity, which upon closer inspection revealed the fact that it is of their famous hand-made walls.

But, for this militant organization, the whole racial life would be null and void practical re- The Complicated Racial Situation There has not been a time sin emancipation when the race problem and presented so many unfortunate instances. Races consciousness is growing keener with the passing years, and digging deeper the gulf and building higher the barriers which separates it from the darker one. The white is endowing to establish a tween itself and the non-white. This purpose furnishes the key to the many complications and involvement in the present race. Many spring from the same root. We see its ramifications in politics, education, religion and in social and civil poll Ku Klux Klan The Grand Viser of the Ku Klux Klan in the December issue of the Forum sets forth the intolerant power of the organization, usual restraints of caution or courtesy. The declared purpose, is to keep apart the two races on different grounds, to prevent the passionate dogmas of this order about which it will neither argue nor reason. The bluntness of Thomas Carlyle, he asserts the fixed purpose of enforcing accepted convictions without rhyme or reason. This is the plainest statement of policy which has yet come from the hooded order. The significance of this declaration is that one knows how far flung to its purpose or how great is its power to put this purpose into effect. At a distance without intimate acquaintance with its policy, or working plans, the widespread impulse of the organization only fill him with a feeling of mixed amazement and dismay. All of the observed outcropings of race and religion are plained in the light of this policy and purpose. Kip Rhinelander The famous Kip Rhinelander case is now passing under judicial decision and will reach a vorderthe end of its life. It represents a personal aspect of this case is limited wholly to the individuals involved. But as an index of public attitude towards the law, its wide significance. It reflects the state of the mind of the people as to the civil equality of the two men, and it follows this notorious case with keenest interest, not that he has the least interest in or sympathy for any other man. What is the difference between the courts in New York, where there is no civil distinction on account of race, will allow such distinction to be reversed back part of the judicial mind. Why should the possession of Negro blood impose in New York a legal or legal difference which Jewish or Irish blood does not impose? Intermarriage Twenty-six states now have laws forbidding any intermarriage between the Ku Klux Klan declares that the first plank in the platform of the order is to have the other twenty-six states enact similar laws. To discuss the wisdom or folly of social intermarriage, but the equality of the races before the law, in communities where there are no legal inhibitions. Segregation In issue of segregation is rampant in all parts of the nation. There are seventeen instances that have come to the attention of the National Association for the Prevention of Pregnancy in all parts of the country. So long as segregation is effected by purely personal preference and non-legal process, the Negro has little lash of emphasis and has no remedy at law. The race in New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago is as sharply separate as the race in more or New Orleans. But in the former cities the former cities the process is operated wholly outside of the machinery of the law and the courts. Moral Complaint Whatever complaint the Negro may lodge against this form of secession, the issue assumes a different aspect when attempt is made to crystallize the discrimination into law. At the house of God. The test case comes up from the city of Washington, the capital of the nation which is unrecognized by the legal right to segregate by direct action has been neglected by the Supreme Court. But the issue of segregation is the ideality of segregation by subjugation. The legal status of the race hinge upon the outcome of this case. If the race is won, the manants of agreement by which racial segregation is sought to be upheld, it will be the equivalent to another Dred Scott Decision. Dred Scott Decision The first Dred Scott case denied the Negro equality of human rights, the second decision would deny him equality of proper rights. The case involved a defense of fifty thousand dollars. Considering the momentous consequences involved in the segregation case alone, one million dollars would be contribution to ask the race to make. The issue of segregation became acuto in Detroit. The emotions of the race were aroused because humiliated individuals could contribute to the defense fund were forthcoming largely on the haste of this emotional appeal. But there was no direct issue of Negro equality in the Supreme Court, although it was doubled, the background. It was but an incident in a single skirmish in the segregation campaign, and in the Supreme Court. If the decision goes against us, Detroit and all other cities can quietly affect the penning up of the Negroes by the peaceful process of law. A general defense fund of fifty thousand dollars amounts to but one-half cent per capita. The race requires four times the amount re- requested on a single Thanksgiving football game. In Politics The same policy of racial prescription shows itself in politics. Negroes are be segregated in the public service purely on the grounds of race, not on the grounds of law compelling it. An inferior status is being imposed upon the Negro by an unfriendly public opinion that runs far ahead of legal smutment. The Negro is being cheated out of civil service appointments in the government, not only without the support of the judiciary and sinister devices which defeat the plain meaning and intention of the law. The Negro denied recognition in the appurtenant places under the government, on the hypothesis that the Senate will refuse to confirm a colored man for any important government post. The Negro is being relegated to political preferment. The race is fast being relegated to a position of caste, recognized by public opinion and accepted by the government even when not written into statutes. Retrograde Tendency Thus the Negro stands face to face with the retrograde tendency. He seems almost hopelessly indifferent in educational, religious and, industrial activities are going on in all but absolute indifference to the sinister influences now upon him, that this blindness to the future kindly vouchsafed by heaven to save us from the fatality of futile endeavor. The great mass of the race has no responsibilities concerning the actions. Here and there on the walls give warning as to the observed dust of danger discerned on the walls of the Association for the Advancement of Colored People is the only effective agency now standing upon the walls of the danger signals. But for this militant organization, the whole racial life would be null and void of practical results. Assentation is keeping alive the voice of protest. With the scanty means furnished by the race and its well meaning friends, it is hitting at the hydra-headed monster any one of its heads presents itself. Survival of Fittest I believe in the doctrine of the survival of the fittest. Numerous organizations have sprung up with this belief. All others are to fall of practical results. There is no need of but one civil rights organization that shall be race wide in the future. The time has now arrived for all of our efforts to regain our civil and legal rights and to retain those which we have should be centralized under the N. A. A. C. P. has proved its right to be regarded as the residuary legates of all similar movements. Personal aggrandizement and pride should be submerged in the general gossip. The Sanhedrin Two years ago, I launched the Negro Sanhedrin, on, a broader and more complex organization. But the progress of events has convinced me that the race is not yet ready to begin. I am not likely to be until the acute stage of legal and civil rights has been passed. When one has the toothpaste, he will be able to discuss his systematic condition. First, relieve the excruciating pain, and then he will be in a humer for general bodily betterment. I am confident that years' resolution that the whole race will backup the N. A. C. C. P., to the extent of a million dollars to ward off the crowding in so ominously upon us. Weekly Lessons In English By W. L. Gordon Don't say "we came near meeting with an accident."

There are twenty of these first or milk teeth, ten in each jaw. As a help in remembering the baby teeth, recall that there are as many teeth in the upper jaw as there are fingers on two hands; and that a baby has as many teeth on the lower jaw as he has toe. The teeth appear in groups. The first to appear are the lower incisors or front teeth. Then the upper incisors appear. After that the canine teeth, then the first and then the second molars may be found. The time of cutting teeth varies so in different children that it is difficult to lay down rules for their appearance. However, a child one year of age has as a rule eight teeth; at sixteen months there is one half years, the child should have the full twenty. If the child has less than this number there may be something lacking in the diet. Teething is a normal process and very seldom makes the baby ill. If a baby is sick, or has fever or loose bowls, do not attribute it to teething but go to a doctor and find out what is the matter.

HOME EDUCATION HOME EDUCATION Jane Carpenter "Gee, I hope I get some new skates for Christmas," said Tom as he rubbed vigorously at the nine months accumulation of rust on his old ones. "And I hope I get a new bookbag," answered his sister, "this one's put on." "I wonder how many times you children have said I hope I get for Christmas," said their mother, irritably. "She shrugged her shoulders and the boy scowled. "I thought that was what Christmas was for," he muttered. The mother was shocked out her irritation. She held really still. It had seemed to her, since the children both knew that their father had just met with a serious financial loss, they ought not to expect much for Christmas. To be sure, they might be managed, but these were only two of the many things for which they had expressed a wish. She had not for a moment thought of saying, as she sheared some more毛茸茸, that she had no Christmas this year" for to her Christmas had a significance that mere giving or receiving could not be. Katherine had such a limited concept? She felt very unhappy about it. Was she not taking the boy's remark much too seriously? He had spoken in an attempt to justify himself. This really ought not to have been necessary for his wish had been childishly based on selfishness or selfishness or that he wanted more than his parents could afford. Probably neither of the children had the last expectation of being sold they wanted. Whether or not this mother had real cause to be troubled, however, depended on the answer. Katherine's significance of Christmas to these young people? Was it a Day to be cherished by them always, not merely on account of its sacred orti- Was Christmas a season fraught with so much gladness and enjoyable activity that no one would be able to realise, this was after all only a very delightful side issue? When children think too much about presents Day and its meaning is so keen and barren that if it were not for these there would be nothing to it at all. But no profusion of presents can match twenty-fifth of December Christmas. If the parent makes the Christmas as it were, and presents it to the family, there are for the children to do but to receive it? And how can they be expected to know or to think of anything beyond or above that acts of kindness, gifts for the relatives and friends, they are over-advised with regard to the selection; sometimes they are given no choice at all. How can they be understood of giving? The wise mother lets the children prepare for school, her guidance.

'Working Up' A SHORT STORY (Lincoln News Service) "Why, that fellow's our Assistant superintendent, our gentleman to his trailing companion, as he unbuttoned a handsome garment of tremendously large proportions." He made a job for himself and openings for his associates, so that our colleague has a fine group of colored mechanics." "Well, how came you to take him to work, carried his gigantic and sat up to take notice, while I decided to 'listen in' about such a seemingly impossible subject as a colored Assistant Superintendent of School." He almost a joke," replied the胶质 manufacturer, and I guess if I thought Bob was in carers, I would have glad he was serious, though, as it helped him, gave some fine workman a chance, and helped to put my company really "Here's the way it all happened," continued the manufacturer, as he lighted his high perfects: Bob Hodges was the porter I always rode with out of Cleveland every Saturday night. And he was a porter, too,—one of the most careful fellows I've ever traveled with. One Saturday night, Bob complained about having to make the run with his mother sleek at home. I asked him why he didn't get a job in town, and as quick as a wink Bob asked me for one at the factory. Little thinking that was in earnest. I told him he was in the office the next time he was in Cleveland. I tried to fix him up. You can hardly imagine my surprise when on the first of the month Bob showed up, told me he had quit the road, and asked for a job. 'All I can give you at present is a janitor's job, Bob,' I told him, and $60.00 a month is all it pays.' Good!" he said; "I'm ready to hit." "So Bob went on as a janitor, and pretty soon, as the business grew, he had risen to be Chief Janitor, and had the privilege of hiring his own men. In less than a year after we had put up our new buildings Bob had six assistants, all fine chaps, who worked hard and conscientiously. "One day, one of our best patternmakers was taken ill, and we were pushed for men and time with which to complete some contract work. We telephoned around town for patternmakers, but couldn't locate a single one. I was feeling mighty blue, when Bob entered, with a quizzical smile on his "Understand you need an expert pat- tern to help you. I don't think good one downstairs. If you'd like to try him, where is the man?" Send him up to the Superintendent, at once. "I cried, "Well, air, he brought up one of his colored fanbites, and don't you know that fellow could make patterns as skillfully as any man whom I have ever "After that, we were short of mechanics two weeks ago. Bob had a man on his force for practically every job in our plant. That sure is important. Our company internagers had a meeting. I ordered them to take on colored coatings to deliver the goods. Shredded Bob lodges had created jobs for his people. We had a man who had hired a man with a trade, and when the opportunity came, Bob had hired a man with a trade, and when the opportunity came, Bob had hired a man with a trade. We've got about twenty-five colored mechanics out there now, and we don't have any. We've made Bob the Assistant Superintendent of Service, and, believe me, he has every job at the plant. I guess he could fill my place, if necessary, the general employer concluded, with a hearty Just then, I felt a nudge on my arm, which I found to be coming from the "Say, Mister," he whispered, "won't you please ask the gent how I can find Bob Hodges.

"What say, that with the best tea-lea, ever, we drink to the consolence of our country—may it walk on soon." THE END. By Roberta Credita Ole There is probably no other one that so thats in influences and determines the beauty of a woman, as personal charm and beauty. We too well know that, character and successful woman, are important and are necessary to the popular and successful woman, yet the magic of every one is, the magic charm of a beautiful face, "School GRF" compliant, hands that are well groomed, shiny hands that are well groomed. This coupled with refinement and modesty makes a woman irresistible, unimpacted woman, and other women shun her because she has fallen in the love of clean, sweet, attractive and adorable. Proper care will keep women always young, and early years of youth, but may be retained through all the stages and ages of a woman's existence. What is beauty in a child, is not beauty in a young woman or a matron. To be beautiful any age a woman must not appear unattractive. Very few women are perfect physique, but that is unnatural, some defect that is constantly thinking about, that makes her uncomfortable. Very few women are perfect regularity of features, but after all this regularity and symmetry or feature are beautiful faces. A smooth, soft and unblemished face, with undesirable unstaggering becoming arranged; clean, shapely, soft hands, clear, bright eyes, eyebrows that are well shaped, together with a smooth, well-defined and exercised, gowned so as to conceal its poor angles and emphasize its fine, these will make a woman beautiful. Many people will mistake a "makeup kit" for true beauty. It is not and must be only considered in the nature of an accessory, particularly when they contribute to make us appear grotesque. We should be considered to bring about an improvement in one's appearance by cleaning the skin, the bath tub; in small town and the city, they are comparatively few in number of homes. But where there are more, then use the wash tub, as regular as the function or the bath is to open the pores, because the rubbing of the cleanses, but it sets up a more rapid circulation, which aids in carrying either the skin, or internally and internally. Thus the various deposits that are showing either the skin, are going to be easier to handle with the aids which we plan to use, and nerve tonic is administered thus the skin, because it quiet and soothes the skin, a decided refining influence upon the skin, and we can readily tell who has been particular with this detail of the skin.

Junius D. Oliver And Mrs. Bettie Holmes Presented For Criminal HEALTH DEPARTMENT MAKES INVESTIGATION Find inadequate Facilities Undernourished And Poorly Clad Children Final steps to close the Union Orphanage, 1217 Madison Avenue, said to be one of the most carelessly conducted child institutions in the city, were taken Thursday when the Rev. Junius D. Oliver was presented by the Grand Jury on the charge of criminal negligence in the care of orphans and unfortunate children. Mrs. Betty Holmes, who is in active charge of this institution, was also presented on the same charge. This movement to close Avenue Orphanage follows a number of investigation by the Health 1 eparmental Urban Lea- ge and the other Attorney's Office, all of which have reported deplorable and unsatisfying conditions as well as gross inefficiency on the basis of charge. Negligence Alleged This tephra damage came under the scrutiny of authorities sometime ago when an eight year old boy was found with a fractured skull in the rear of the building. In spite of the fact that a vexile of accidental death was returned by the Coroner's jury, the circumstances surrounding the child's death have never been satisfactorily explained. The Baltimore Urban League was asked to investigate the conditions under which the place was being run and made visits to this institution. It was found that children taken into the home were undernourished, and in many cases, very improperly clothed. There were found by several investigators with impairment cases of rickets and malnutrition. Witnesses appearing before the grand jury, also stated that the building had inadequate facilities for insufficient food and inadequate clothing in the thirty children there. It was also charged that these children have been given cast off food obtained from business establishments in the market section of the city, and that often they were sent out to bag in improvise To Prosecute Assistant State's Attorney Chairman told this paper Saturday, that the cases against him, the cases against Betty Holmes would be prosecuted, and that it is possible that fines may be assessed. In any event, it is probable that the children will be turned over to the Henry Watson's Children Aid Society until more suitable arrangements can be made for them. The children placed in an institution of this kind, several of which have been closed during the past year, show the need of a home being established. The institution able to conduct it properly.

The Governor's Commission appointed recently to frame legislation affecting our group in this state, is making a complete summary of probable implications as to a feeble-minded, as well as orphan children, will be made. Liberian College Only Bats The Truth About Liberia) by Howard E. Young, former Secretary to Bishop Sampson Brooks at Monrovia, Liberia, West Africa The principal educational institutions of Liberia are run by several church organizations through their missionary departments. The first missionary enterprises of the great Methodist Episcopal Church in foreign fields was in the republic of Liberia. In 1921 this church had 52 schools, 66 teachers and 2126 pupils. Second to the Methodists, in so far as number of pupils is concerned, were the "bored children" of the schools, 52 teachers and 2114 pupils. The Eptists in all branches, had 13 schools, 25 teachers and 848 pupils. The Catholics reported 5 schools, 5 teachers and 848 schools. The Lutherans had 7 schools, 37 teachers and 452 pupils, while the African Methodists registered 5 schools, 10 teachers and 338 scholars. There were in addition to these schools a private school that did not report. In the city of Monrovia there is the College of West Africa, nowroduced to a number of years of existence somevery excellent work, numberingamong its graduates many of the menand women who figure prominentlyin its buildings are very deliciated, andis certainly not a credit to the greatMethodist body which maintains it.

Garrett, Chairman of the Public Improvement Commission, William S. Graham, Controller, represented Outlines Program Dr. David E. Weglein, Superintendent of Public Instruction, pointed out the aims of the School Board in the system wherein students are given a chance to find his calling by experimenting with different vocations. The work of the elementary schools is similar for all students declared Dr. Westein. List in the junior high schools the boy or girl is given a chance to select a vocation blue or not. Then he presses on to the High School for more complete development in his chosen vocation. He referred to the Douglass, High School as the best of his kind in the country. School Board Liberal Supervisor Framels M. Wood declared the improved facilities as expressed in this new high school was a direct challenge to the principals, teachers, parents and children, to make the best use of them. The School Board, he said, had given him the widest possible latitude and if he did not measure up to the requirements of the patrons he would have no excuse to make. He was followed by Mason A. Hawkins, Principal of the Douglass High School, who gave a detailed study of the phenomenal advancement the school had made during the last five years. In 1901, he said, there was not one alumnus employed in the school as teacher. This year 36 of the 88 teachers are alumni and the enrollment of the Douglass Junior and Senior school has reached a total of 2,163.

S. Searmbourough, Fred Ernest S. Cox, author, whose latest book is called Bp Thomas J. Dahner The host and most thorough articles written on the Garvey movement in the opinion of the writer were those written by the general title, "The Only Way to Redeem Africa." Under this title in The Messenger January, 1923, Mr. Randolph wrote: "Of course, there is nothing more normal and logical than that the idea of building up Africa. It is not possible to be back to Africa" movement. A word about the difficulties to be overcome. First, with the opposition of the American people, it is possible for the Garvey crowd to even land in Africa. "Second, granting that they were nothing to conquer Africa with, for it is not conceivable that Great Britain, France, Italy or America would outworthy their own dominion anywhere; and there is no spot in Africa where a landing can be expected which is not controlled by a great white "In Africa three obstacles would have to be overcome by the Garvey group, the natives who are opposed to other rule, and nature in Africa, such as the intensely hot tropical climate, the uncultivated soil, the wild beasts, and the tigers, together with a forbidding forests." "Neither one of these three obstacles could a group of undeducated, unarmed natives overcome, as the Garvey crew—overcome." Further Mr. Randolph says: "Haiti is a struggling black nation with a history of slavery. Mr. Garvey espel the United States from Haiti! Here is a black people who won their liberty over a hundred years ago, and who are one of the United States. Why doesn't Brother Marcus help keep a Negro nation independent instead of trying to build up a new one? For if a Negro nation is built, then he has two—Liberia and Haiti."

Men are most enjoyable when they are just boys again; when the trap is over, boys and boys' hyperspace are discarded and they see about just being human, and enjoy each other's companionship—not alone. In this capacity "Phil" Dahney of Cincinnati, who in grown-up partnership, Editor and owner of the Cincinnati Union, is about the finest chap we ever knew at his age. He is about 60—older than the rest of us—and he is the only one in his gang in a private corner of a Cincinnati hotel the other evening. There were just five of us—Phil, Dahney, Jill, and Higgins and "Jane". Dahney had provided the eats, and everything to drink that a fellow was willing to drink: "dry gin" made wet by some, "dry gin" made wet by others; that; and for those whose stomachs were limited, there was ginger ale,oca cola and cold water.—Let us interject that Phil Dahney had none of these, and those fellows who drink and smoke, but who cannot like a fellow who doesn't—because they always imagine other fellow feels superior to them. Dahney is perfectly at home, perfectly comfortable, perfectly lovable with his ginger ale and gin, and perfectly lovable with his ginger ale who is taking only ginger ale and water. That is the bridge of complete self-respect and good sportsmanship—and we admire it here. Talk and Laugh It was an "elegant repast", as some sophisticated grown-up might say, but we ate it without much care and, Lord, how we laughed! We laughed and talked about and about our friends and acquaintances, our friends and acquaintances, our friends and acquaintances, off their conventional and hypnotic coverings and looked at their naked humanity for just what it is. We were not comedy they did mukel. Ours was like a gathering of fellow who having been all day in military march or on dress parade, had at last rejoiced in the comedy they would throw off their brass buttons, kick off their hoops, and breathe informally. If some of the folks we know could have seen how conversation photographed them! The next evening after I had "sed my speech" in the afternoon to a Theatre, and answered their ques- tions, Brasher and I repaired to the shack of Dabney on Beechman to put it, to the elegant mansion of the Editor of the Cincinnati "Union" on the street made famous by the fact that the editor's residence, the editor's residence, sands the house in which Harriet Beechman Stowe wrote "Dile Tom's Cabin." Dabney's snack is some swell hut. One Room Mrs. Dahney, the wife, recognizing "the boy problem" in her husband, has given him one room in the house for his vee gown. In it he has a large mirror, an easy chair; a cabinet whose doors, when opened, disclose within; it the strange bottles, tiny and all glasses, packs of cards stacks of "chips", little wooden and [very many] buttons, and things; also a big pee-ane; and best of all a five-string banjo and a six-string guitar. He also has a little closet with running water, opening right into the closet; p occasionally and pour up the ginger ale, cool cold, and so forth,—the ginger ale for me, and the $18.50 Banjo Products Fulton Baptist Owl al t A Step Above Green THE CAROLINAS WINSTON-SALEM, N.

PRINGIPALS URGED TO USE"AGENCIES" "Grandstand" Type Of Do It All Principal Not Wanted Says Supervisor DR. WOOD TALKS TO SCHOOL MASTERS CLUB "A principal's efficiency should be measured by his ability to utilize the agencies at his command and not by what alone he is alone. With "handlers" is the type of leadership of which we must rid ourselves. No one can be helped who is self-satisfied." Supervisor Frands M. Wood told the School's monthly meeting last Saturday night in the auditorium of the Y. M. C. A. Dr. Wood pointed out the marked increase in the enrollment in the secondary school in the city. The number of pupils has increased from one for every 100 of the total population in 1890 to one for every 121 from 1899 to 1900, one for every 89 in 1903 to 1904, one for every 75 in 1914 to 1918. At present, he said, only about one-third of the pupils who enter our elementary schools reach the four year high school level, and only about one-third graduated from the high school. Of those who enter the seventh school year, only about one-half reach the first year of high school and those who enter the high school, one-half reach the second year, about one-half before the beginning of the third year and less than one-third graduate. Urges Cooperation "The principal of the school, in the light of these figures, will be so very solicited, that they in his school calculated to help pupils to help themselves," said Mr. Wood. "Each teacher in the school will be able to assist the principal in every way possible, hence there must be complete cooperation between principal and teacher in the city of Baltimore," he added. Organization Dr. Wood gave two well organized policies for meeting the various needs of those who enroll in the College, Councils and the Community. The objectives of education, he said, are good health, command of the fundamental process, worth home membership, vocation, worth professional experience of leisure and technical character. In carrying out these objectives he urged the appointment of (1) a Director of Health to provide provisions for lunches, posture of pupils, amount of home work required, provisions for physical training and effects of stress (2) Director of Citizenship whose duty it would be to develop pupils an initiative ability, sense of personal responsibility, sense of belonging society, general school exercises, and current events. (3) Director of Leisure who would instruct pupils as to how to spend their leisure properly, organize a musical organization a school library, art clubs, school gatherings and help pupils select proper places of (4) Director of Curriculum who would advise students on the subject and direct in general in elementary, junior high and senior high work; (5) Director of Vocational and Ed. Education; (6) Head of charge of instruction of vocational opportunities, educational opportunities and qualifications. Reflection "It will be a fine thing for every principal to remember that it is a reflection upon his organization unless he has people on his staff that can do himself, and likewise it would be a reflection upon his ability should he fail to permit those helpers to use of their own initiative in the light of education. The conclusion followed. Dr. Wood's address, Professors Chancey Chambers, William H. MacAche, Charles B. Bell, Richard W. Ward, George McDain, George B. Murphy and Harry T. Pratt made remarks, Linwood G. Koger, president of the local branch of the N.Y. D. on invitation, president of the Club, made an appeal for membership. Finds Question God Cannot Answer East Orange, N. J. — "A Question God cannot answer" was the subject of the sermon of Mr. Moong, Congregation of the Salvation Baptist Church, before a congregation which filled the auditorium and overflowed into the street. The question was "How shall We Escape We Neglect So Great a Scarcity?" Richmond, Va.—Virginia Masons went home without laying the cornerstone of Fifteenth Street Church of St. John the Baptist. The stone was made of concrete, according to the Rev. T. J. King, pastor. The real cornerstone was laid without services of the Masons at the southwest corner of the church was of marble. Masons lay a cornerstone only at the northeast corner net, that corresponds to the year the king said some of the members wanted the Masons to have a part in the cornerstone lying so provided them with a concrete Women's Day Women's Day: exercises were held at Trinity Baptist Church, Sunday morning and the Mesdames Moleck and Hitchens. Quite a nest, gum was realized from the woods. H. L. Diggs had charges of the program. When Whatcoat M. E. Church Was Gutted By Fire GRENQUIL PHOTO The interior of Whatcoat M. E.

Holsey Recital Mr. Augustus Johnson Holsey, the well-known local tenor, was heard in recital by a fine crowd at Mt. Moriah Baptist Church, Washington, D. C. on Monday evening last. All of the artist's numbers received, but his singing of a group of musicians clicked a storm applause. Methodism To Be United Eventually Chicago, IL.—(P.N.S.)—Through the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, failed to vote its required majority of three-fourths of the branch. A new branch of the church, Bishop Edwin Hot Hughes of the Chicago area, regards the vote as a great victory. The vote indicates the need to meet any future preparations in a general and welcoming spirit," he said. Bishop Hughes is a member of the joint committee of the two branches of the churches is practically complete. Unification carried completely in the Methodist Episcopal Church, the favoring vote southern branch the required constitutional majority is three-fourths. The vote falls for short of this, but it is evident the final result is the methodical majority of between 500 and 400. 5th Annual Christmas Treat to Patients At Bay View I am again asking all those interested in my immittible love to contribute in giving my Fifth Annual Christmas Treat to the 100 patients at Heaton Tuthercullus Hospital on Christ, an day, and at Growville on New Year's Day; to 200 patients.

E. Harcourt Johnson By this time you are beginning to miss your ice, your butter, your fresh meats, and so forth. You may get a variety of the finest fish in the world if you have the money to pay for it. And if you remain on the island long you will find that a pig or sheep is killed in the larger settlements about once in every two weeks. If you have made yourself at home among these people you will soon find them coming to consult you about their ailments. Few of the islands boast any sort of medical attendance, and it is not always possible for the ill to travel up to Nassau for treatment. So you will be called upon many times to help in cases of accidents or severe illness. Most minor ills are treated with the inevitable "gale of wind hush." It has the effect on the system that the name implies. There are many cases of berl-berl all over the island due to the large proportion of starch food in the regular diet of the people. When you see them living principally on casava, yam, potatoes, corn meal, and guinea corn, you are not surprised at the prevalence of berl-berl. dows Indeed—Timothy 5th Chapter, 3rd Verse SOCIALLY INVITED TO ATTEND THE ANNUAL SERMON given by the powers of Eastern M.

The Afro-American—South's Biggest and Best Weekly Some nights you will be kept awake into the early hours of the morning by the candle lit and the lusty shouting of hymns. This you will find is a "wake" over the dead, or in memory of some departure. You will enter into a small, hot hut, and sing and wall all night, the while refreshing themselves on fried fish and coffee, if you have been in the dark performed over dead bodies. Then you may see a bottle suspended from a string to some tree. That, too, beaches the superstition of "fuck" and anyone stealing fruit from it will suffer dire consequences from death or disease. You must beware of offending anyone on the island, for if you do, that person will go to some "obeh" worker and get him to "fix" you.

This is an age of unrest, fear, suspicion—men's hearts are failing them every day; is there not some Divine Panic for Fear, for Psychological reasons; there must be. Here it is: Trust Prais! A trusting heart that sings. Nearly thirty years ago, down in Clayton, Alabama I was disturbed by the prayers of the saint and the preaching of an almost unlettered man. Each time I gave up and walked down the aisles of the little village church and confessed Jesus with my mouth, and believed God's record of Him with my heart. Just simply trusted, and my sins were cancelled and my heart filled with joy. The fear of hell and judgment fed like a wild mouse. Each time I crossed the street, read, I were afraid to meet God? Are you afraid of the consequence of your sins? Confess, repent, and take God at His Word. "Sometimes along our journey here, Our Father's voice we scarce can hear; It seems that clouds His face do mask; Whilst shall we tremble asking; Just simply TRUST!" NOTICE S. S.

A corporation is an artificial body created by a statute of law having the rights of any nature, having certain special powers and are accorded the authority to set forth in its charter of organization. Before the corporation became so much used, the chief forms of business are the co-partnership and the co-partnership. The business interest assumed gigantic proportions, and plants became far-lung, while profits became large. The business interest than two persons cared to assume. Any business, to be successful, must be continuous; the death of the proprietor of a one-man business or the difference of business policy would be equally as fatal to the partnership. Wherever there was a desire for continuous management, and for minimizing of management and capital, or the limiting of the risk of the partners to the amount invested in the enterprise, the corporation was the only form offering these The entrance of our race group into the field of the corporate form of business was to be a quarter of a century. It was during the world war that we entered this form of business, high wages, labor and with a great demand for all sorts of labor, and material, lacking the training of the best results, these various enterprises of mushroom growth so passed to the graves. Seven of them were launched during that period have failed. Sec. Davis Lauds Labor Conciliators Washington.—In addressing his annual report for the past fiscal year to the Congress of the United States, Secretary of State John James J. Adams, and the Department of Justice, in the work of the Department's two Negro commissioners of conglomeration in his office at Washington, and in his office at Jail. "Their work," states the Secretary, "has consisted of stimulating reciprocal regard between the Negro and the white personnel. In this connection, valuable surveys of Negro labor have been made and statistics have been created and analyzed to light the Negro labor situation and thereby ameliorating the relations of employers and employees, to the end that the industrial work of Negro labor more actively fostered and promoted. "In the conduct of this special work the Division of Conciliation acknowledged the need for national and state organizations of Negroes and from many volunteer Negro citizens of the country at large, working in the Office of Secretary of Labor, have given helpful advice and furnished informative reports of the conditions of Negro labor in their respective state."

HEARD AND SEEN IN BALTIMORE RALPH MATTHEWS The mayor, yes we have a mayor came from seclusion the other day and announced that the hard coal supply of Baltimore would soon be exhausted. Needless to say the report was received coldly. It seems like every time cold weather comes marching in the coal miners so marching out. All eyes turn towards the President, but the colder it gets the quieter he goes. Just because people are shivering that is no reason why the Presidential nose needs blowing. This winter we will have a chance to find out just what they mean when they said keep cool with Coolidge. Soft coal will be used extensively. You are right, in saying that a tar in the cellar is worth two dollars. You can comfortably say that a hanging curtain gathers no soot. Don't worry if you start shedding before the first thaw. Any good mange cure is good for dandruff. This will work splendidly if you joint them red and fool you into believing that they have burn up. Another plan that has proven effective is to take an eye droplet and cover the head with glycerin in such a manner that perspiration will think you are very warm and will no doubt suffer heat prostration. Another plan that requires a little time is to cover the body with a strong hair grower. The first part of baths of cold water. Repeat nightly at the first snow you will coat of fur that would do credit to your bear. This not only saves you the price of an overcoat but in the spring you can shave yourself and use the clips in the overstuffed furniture. Of course you can try painting oblique stones and fooling your face into believing that it is unnatural. You should never get cold in spite of the shortage if you follow the instructions. You simple. Eat plenty of beef. Beef is a well known heat producer. We doubt, however, whether it would be cheaper to buy a pound of beef or a tone of coal. Baked beans also contain heat producing qualities. There is a danger, however, of your freezing to before you can get the can open. A plan that always works on very cold days is to go around the house mumbling dirty cracks about your wife's folks. She will of course start throwing dishes at you. By dodging you can work yourself into a good heat. By this method you are sure of holding warm as long as the dishes Frulland, MD.—Dr. Rev.

You will think you are very warm and will no doubt suffer heat prostration. Another plan that requires a little time is to cover the body with a strong hair grower at the top of the head by the first snow you will have a coat of fur that would do credit to a solar bear. This not only saves you the price of an overcast but in the spring you can shave yourself and use the clippings in the overstaffed furniture. Of course you can try painting cobble stones and fooling your furiture into believing that it is antique. You need never apologize for not having cool when company comes in to sweep among the Druid Hills avenue aristocracy. Just stick a red brush in the hutrobe and keep complaining about the heat. The company is to keep from showing their dumbbell, will soon take off their coats and will probably坠 upon you turning the dumbbell. The city council adresses us to install gas tanks, will soon take off their coats and will probably坠 upon you turning the dumbbell. We know one guy who was afraid of cooling cold that wouldn't even speak to an ice man in the middle of July. Someone advised him to take a bath in the snow and he hasn't complained he left a widow and six children. WHERE IS IT YOU BUY THOSE GOOD HOT DOES?

Mrs. Reddicks had her cousin summoned when the latter failed to divide a box of goodies which had been sent to them jointly. According to Mrs. Washington the paid express charges of $2.50 when she opened the box she found it contained one chicken and a small amount of canned fruit. she had deceived the chicken before Mrs. Rose, her sister, from the cousin's stating that part of the things in box belonged to her. When Mrs. Washington failed to divide, she had humnounced to the Northwestern office station. Making the evidence, the judge gave the following decision: "It seems to me that Mrs. Washington should get the chicken and bread. Mrs. Reddickes. Now the canned goods naturally weigh more than the chicken, and as the chicken, Mrs. Reddickes will pay $2.00 and get the bread of the canned goods, while Mrs. Washington, will pay $0.30 and get the chicken." Following this decision, Mrs. Reddickes waived all chikie to the food, and the two women left the courthouse either. William Wilson Talked Too Loud When William Wilson, 1429 N.

This is true even of storm and hard bored judges as Alexander Carpenter, charged with larceny of a stump in Criminal Court, Friday, can testify. And because all the world loves a lover, the carpenter will leave the all house Christmas week just in time to don his dress suit and lead a blushing bride to the alter. Because of larceny of guilty Pederds of having taken a trom the automobile of Richard N. Cromwell, white, Frederick, while the latter's car was parked at the streets. He was given a sentence to 50 days in jail. Sitting there facing 50 long days, the latter began to realize that those 50 days would take him beyond the Christmas holidays, it would do more than that for he remember that he would not would be dispointed if he did not show up for a wedding ceremony. He explained to the State Attorney that gentleman's heart was touched. But he Judge, when he heard the plight of the incarcerated Lothario. There was a carpenter who told that his sentence would be reduced and that it would in time for him to cast off prison and a dress suit for the great event. To him the lock step means nothing. To him prison walls now have to significance for he is looking all mind—Christmas wedding day. Too Much Testimony Laused Young Trouble If Waverley Young, 205 N. Beltle Street had not told more than the Judge asked in the Northwestern Police Station Saturday morning, he told me he had saved himself from a lot of trouble. "Young had been arrested on description as the man who had assaulted Miss Dorothy Handy, 1008 S. 10th Street," he said. "Young, you are charged with assault," said the Judge as he was brought from the locker. "Yes, your Honor, but I didn't hurt my wife much when I struck him." "Hold a minute," said Miss Handy. "Dudge, you have the wrong man for this is not the man that struck him." "No sl. Judge. I didn't strike this woman. I thought it was my wife who had me arrested." "Well, I will have to dismiss the case brought by this young woman, Dudge, to truck your wife, we will have to hold you for an investigation until we can get in touch with her." "Young has carried back to be held and an investigation with a disciplined look on his face."

Sometimes it breaks when we must be grief. Sometimes it seems that you may be here. Of times we look thinking you will appear. These comes the thought, That it never can be.

Shaw's Team Hard Hit By Graduation, Martin Takes Helm By George II. Mitchell, Jr. Raleigh, N. C.—The Shaw University griders did honor to their star back, Julie Martin, who was elected captain to lead the 7 years in 1926. Out of seven minor games, Shaw won two, lost two and tied three Union and A. & T. were the only teams to cross her goal line. Shaw lost to Hampton 3-0 and Union won a 7-3 verdict when Jimmy Shields made a sensational 50-yard run to Shaw's 1-yard line putting his team in position to score a touchdown. Shaw played A. & T. to a 7-7 tie and St. Paul and the Bears battled to a scoreless deadlock in their opening game. Seminary and Shaw also ended in a fruitless tie. Ten men will be lost to the Bears next year through graduation, six of this number.

In all 23 raids were staged and the force with which the blow fell struck terror to the saloon element, especially in some of the places where the initiated felt things were safe. At the John Hawkins pool room, located at 500 Druid Hill Avenue, the agents found a small quantity of alleged whiskey when they visited that place Saturday morning. The saloons located at 555 Pennsylvania Avenue, netted the raiders two quarts of alleged whiskey and resulted in the arrest of Thomas Owens, 348 Elin street and Clarence Coleman, 1121 Brewer street. Charles Keys, 33 Woodly Avenue, was also arrested when the agents visited the saloon at 1817 Pennsylvania Avenue and found what they said was 50 quarts of whiskey. The raid followed the swerving out of warrants by an under-cover investigator known in bootleg circles as the "Phantom Agent". The suspects were kept by the liquor ring to watch for agents swearing out warrants in the office of Commissioner Supplie. In a recent roundup a man known as Williams got the goods on the saloons in the Loyal Irish and Pemmons clubs, and disappeared however after several raids had been staged and the cases are still pending until he appears to mosegate them. It is thought by some that Williams has turned up Those who were given a hearing before the commissioner Monday morning were Frank Lee, 601 Gulf Boulevard, Chance Coleman, 1131 Brewer street; Charles Keys, 95 Woodley street; James Donnelly, 1355 Wrenmont avenue; James Brown, 1429 Madison avenue; James Brown, Benjamin Cooper, 2200 McCulloh street; George Brown, 639 W. Hoffman street; Abrahams Nowling, 715 Penn Avenue; George Johnson, 688 W. Biddle street; Samuel Engel, 1125 W. Biddle street. Prohibition officers say this is just a beginning of an earnest effort to curb bootleg traffic here. THIRD ANNIVERSARY OF MARYLAND BAPTIST CHURCH Cor. Penna, Ave. & Mosher St. Dr. E. C.

St. Mary St. We have only one Store Maternity Hospital Head In Favor Of Birth Control "The teaching of birth control to general public and especially to those whose common needs for them to provide properly care and for care large families is not race suicide but reacresaving," declared Dr. Kendon Johnson, a professor at the M.D. Hospital which bears his name, in an interview Thursday. "The wealthy learn birth control," he said, why should they not have children who are less able to support large families?" The race as a whole takes--to lightly the question of child bearing, rarely ever consult a physician or prepare for medical attention until the time of delivery is near at hand. This may or may not be the case for children, depending largely upon the physical fitness of the mother, he stated.

John Matthews, pastor of Brown's Memorial Baptist Church, 556 Oxford street, again fanned in the toils of the past two years two charges of receiving money under false pretenses and was given a sentence of one day. The pastor's troubles this time came out on account of his failure to accept 825 each on two contracts to repair cellars and failing to do the work. "The 'clients', Louis J Wallman, and Catherine Lesseau, who had advanced the money and that when he failed to carry out and complete the contracts, they appealed to the law." He was found guilty and given one day in jail with the charge that he would complete the jobs. Second Arrest A month ago the Rev. Mr. Matthews was arrested on the complaint of a "client" that he had accepted money which the "client" understood was taken as payment for inducing spirits to send his wife back to London, and in sending his client's wife back and also failed when the Reverend came to trial on a charge of false pretenses. His place on Oxford street is said his place to he handsomely fitted up with candles and other mystic paraphernalia to converse with the spirit world. 17 MEN AND WOMEN IN HOUSE PARTY RAID Friday Evening Guests Of Miss Sadie Thomas, Get $1 Fines in Court.

MRRS, MCMECHEN IS FIRM IN WARD FIGHT "Will Not Yield Until Vote Is Taken," She Tells Afro-American Reporter ISSUE HINGES ON MEANING OF WARD Struggle Between Hill And Weller Forces Also Seen In Executive Fight "I am standing firm and will not move an inch until they make me," was the way he told the associate vice-executive, depending upon the point of view, put it when asked what was being done to iron out the light in the 14th Ward Republican organization. "This light is something that when an announcement was made by the Weller forces giving the name of John R. Goldsborough as active executive in this case, it is the Chen and her supporters, the associate executive should perform the duties of the executive and she being the associate executive, should be the late Lawson, Duffin is elected." At a meeting of the 14th Ward Republican Club held last Thursday evening, to the recommendation of the chair, nor was the question brought up for action. According to custom, the Republican Club, representing the citizens of the Ward, should recommend the Ward executive, who in turn would be elected to the City Committee for confirmation, but until this is done. Mrs. McMechen holds that the preogatives are respected in the associate vice-executive. Preclipsites Fight Deep down beneath the whole affair politicians see a struggle between the Weller and Hill forces for control of the City machine. Mr McMechen has no announcement as to her possible assignment in the coming campaign. She states that that is a matter for her to deal with, and volves her rights as associate executive of the 14th Ward. Goldborough, who is known to be a Wellerita, was put up, her friends and colleagues, to precipitate the fight in the 14th Ward. It is the view of Charles W. Main, chairman of the City Committee, that Mrs McMechen's position with the city with it the preoperative of acting in the calling of meetings and other in the place of executive in so far official duties are concerned. However, among them, Walter S. Emerson, say that the case is similar to that of Mrs. George S. Williams in Georgia, who as associate committee member has been among the National Committee until the successor of the late Henry Lincoln Johnson was elected. In this Mrs. McMechen has with the majority of the National Committee as well as their active support. Fighting for Vote Another matter that will also have to be thrashed out in the City Committee is the fight that eight Associates have fought against the ruling of the State Central Committee that they are not entitled to vote in its sessions. They hold that since the voting status of women is the same as the men, they have a right to exercise the voting privilege in all of the party councils.

By the death of Lawson Duffin, ward executive, she naturally assumes his functions until a successor is appointed, she claims. Mrs. Main, head of the city committee says Mrs. McMechen is not "vice-executive of the ward, but "associate" executive without voting power. Duffin's place, he rules, is vacant. It can only be filled when prefect executives of the ward nominate a candidate for the position acceptable to the city committee. Menitine, Mr. Main declares, Duffin's office has been over by John Goldborough, executive of the 4th legislature district. Tin, tar, gravel, composition roofs repaired equal to new.
