IS MUM ON NEW POST INHAITI Won't Comment On Alleged Unacceptability Of Race Minister SENATOR LENROOT (R.) WIS. SHOWED INTEREST Post Has Been Vacant Since Death Of Envoy Several Weeks Ago Washington, D. C., (Afro Bureau)—The State Department Tuesday declined to comment on the report that a colored man wuold not be acceptable to the Haitian Government as minister from the United states. The question of appointing a minister to Haiti has not arisen for some time, nor will it have to be decided upon as-long as the high commissioner remains there; it was said as the State Department, and of this fact the question of appointing a colored man as minister to Haiti has never arisen. "For this reason," an official said. "the Department must decline to comment on a question which has not yet come up for discussion and which is primarily of academic interest." Notwithstanding this statement from the State Department, it was repeated in Senatorial circles that the Haitian Government had advised this government that a colored man would not be acceptable as minister from the United States. Senator Irvin L. Leenroot, of Wisconsin, has been interested in the appointment of a colored man as minister to Haiti. He had a representative to take up the question of the acceptability of a colored man as minister to Haiti with the State Department and it was reported at the time that a colored man of character and standing would be acceptable. Since then, however, Senator Leenroot is reported to have been advised that no colored person would be acceptable on the ground of col- In the meantime, the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations has under consideration two resolutions introduced by Senator William H. King, Democratic Senator, and State Secretary of State Kellogg to advise the Senate as to what powers and functions Brigadier General John M. Russell is exercising in Haiti as the American High Commissioner, and the other expresses it in the Senate. The President should withdraw the marches now. In Haiti. The State Department is of the opinion that conditions in Haiti have not reached such a degree that they would permit this time. It does not deem the appointment of a minister to Haiti necessary so long as the American occupation continues and a high compartmentalizing the function of a minister. The names of Charles E. Mitchell of Institute, W. Va. and Ennett J. Scott have been confirmed with the ministership to Haiti since the death of Arthur Bally Blanchard, the last American envoy to Haiti.

Alleged Ku Klux Attack On Hampton Reminder Of Demonstration At Tuskegee Acts Of Violence Against Either School Would Arouse The Nation Like the Firing of the Confederates Upon Fort Sumpter The situation-at Hampton Institute, Hampton, Va., where the Anglo-Saxon Clubs, aided, it is said, by the Ku Klux Klan, are attempting to force segregation at public functions in the Institute Auditorium is comparable to the Ku Klux demonstration against Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Alabama, and the U. S. Veterans Hospitals located nearby, two years ago. President James E. Gregg, of Hampton Institute wired the AFRO-AMERICN Monday that there is absolutely no truth in Lester Walton's article printed in the New York World Sunday, December 17th, alleging that Hampton Institute is an armed camp because of Ku Klux threats there. Major Allen Washington, Commandant at Hampton, a wire to the NRO-AMERICN inst week, told news reports that the Ku Klux burned a cross on the Institute grounds, and sent him a warning to leave Hampton within ten days. These despatches were carried by the NRO-AMERICN and the AS-sociated Negro Press. Nevertheless it is known that a number of white folks in the vicinity of Hampton, displeased over the fact that reserved seats for those were not available for Donis Davis, gave a special performance for the student body last spring, instigated a systematic attack upon the Institute. The leading spirits in this movement in the New York News Daily Press, John Powell, white, a celebrated pianist and composer, and the Anglo-Saxon Club. Spelling segregation of the races public performances at which a admiral charged. Hardly Affect Hampton Such a law even if passed would hardly affect Hampton, which will its five million dollar endowment is the richest institution in the state. The Institute will well afford public calls on the camp free and thus continue its presse seating arrangements. Officially, Hampton regards the attacks of this minority group not of sufficient morale to the institute true board. It is known that a number of influential whites of the state disagree with the Anglo-Saxon clubs in their light on Hampton. It is the say, an attempt white folk to invite themselves dinner in a colored person's home and then declare that the color The editor of the NEWS is said to have been among those unable to secure a front reserved seat for the president. Powell's animosity is said to be due in part to jealousy of Nathaniel Dett, Hampton's musical director and composer. Powell's institute has become this music center of Eastern Virginia. Mr. Powell, reports say, was not numbered among the number of musical events of similar character. He is a leading spirit in the Anglo-Saxon Clubs. These clubs have asked the Virginia legislature to pass a law comp spelling, segregation of the races at public performances at which an admission is charged. Hardly Affore Hampton Since a law firm would issued hardly Hampton, which with its five million dollar endowment is the richest institution in the state, the Institute could well afford to make all functions on the campus of its five million dollar present seating arrangements. Officially, Hampton regards this attacks of this minority group as not an offence of the Institute's trustee board. It is known that a number of influential whites of the state disagree with the Anglo-Saxon Hampton. It is they say, an attempt of white folk to invite themselves to dinner in a colored person's home and then declare that the recorded history of the Anglo-Saxon's record of fifty-eight years is a constructive office operating without state aid, turning out useful citizens, and teaching cooperative skills. It is not lost sight of by better thinking, white people, who will be arrayed on the side of Hampton in the fight to enact the Anglo-Saxon Club's resource law.

Cohen was charged with moving a revenue boat placed near the harbor so bootleggers could land their two million dollar cargo of rum. Explaining how bootleggers tricked him Cohen said, Ku Klux were opposed to him holding office and had threatened his life. He kept private detectives with him constan- At the invitation of Patrick Needham, an undercover prohibition agent he said he visited the home of Fatterson, the bootlegger. Fatterson, he was told, would tell him who had made the threats against his life. Alaino Fatterson, white bootleg king and chief witness for the state turned the tide in Cohen's favor when he changed his testimony in a dramatic moment and accused his surveyor of customs, as the one with whom he arranged for the removal of the revenue cutter. The court, then ordered the jury to inquire in a not guilty verdict for Cohen. At the bootlegger's home Canadian beer was passed around the house, and Colen to aid in bringing in a load of liquor. Realizing the trap he was in Cohen finished, his glass of beer and left without answering, a question about a $1,000 bribe he said. "You have gotten me into a hell of a ball of Cohen. Cohen told Needham who advised him not to worry, which afterwards was admitted to be "partly ill." was as follows: Needham said Alonzo Patterson, who is on trial with Cohen and who are hires totalling 15,680 to Needham and another agent, had asked several times about the prohibition agent ringing Cohen to Patterson's home in New York. Cohen told Needham to agree, and after we were in my car on the way to Patterson's home, Cohen said: Needham, tell me exactly what this visit is, for." Drinks Passed Around "Patterson is a wholesale liquor dealer and wants to see you. The Coast Guard Cutters have tied up some of his inventory," I told Cohen. Needham said. "Nobody is in favor of prohibition, and if Mr. Jackson wants to find some he can get, it is stomping pump oil. Cohen told him not make some money in this me. He then said: Needham, if business you are a fool." Needham said they arrived at Patterson's home and they Cohen was in drinking some Canadian beer. "Cohen told a few stories and said he had just returned from Washington, where he was collecting a collector of customs, to get Lines' soap." Needham said. He referred to D. A. Lines, collector of internal revenue for Louisiana, who recently was ousted as chairman of a republican state central committee. "Patterson asked Cohen about getting a letter to the commander of the Coast Guard cutters at Mobile, Needham continued. Cohen said he would know the man. ""But if the Little-Rita troubles you, I can handle that all right," Cohen told -Patterson. Patterson then asked Cohen if he would like to have a few bottles of liquor. Cohen said he would not object. "Patterson then gave Cohen two bottles of Long John Liquor, some beer and beer and I carried hose in my automobile to Cohen's home at 1617 North Miro Street," the probation agent testified.

ALUMNUS BARES MORE FACULTY TESTIMONY AGAINST DURKEE IN SECRET MEETING Temporary Reinstatement Of Four Professors By Trustees Called Repudiation Of President. Testimony Shows That Dr. Moorland Secured Services Of "Expert" To Survey University The Howard *Trustees* repudiation of Dr. Durkee has brought *Merry Christmas* to the four reinstated processions, and he has been for the three months he has been idle, and a check is promised for each month through June. The leader must be sure to catch the originator of this recent action. The trustees exonerated and convicted Dr. Durkee in the same action. They found him in the house, but was insulted, with full salary, the men who fell victim to his machinations. They flattered him with rhetoric, but flattened him with legislation. He is a 'crushed Queer. President Dr. Durkee would have to be a queen president, for the trustees themselves can pass some of the most contradictory ideas to exertion, and then vote to humiliate. They proclaim Dr. Durkee as being all right, and then vote down his programs as being all wrong. Dr. Durkee has the dramatic power to exert control over the trustees are acrobatic enough for a circus. Seven years ago, without deliberation or question, they voted for Dr. Durkee's fantastic junior-senior staff. Their accomplishments have developed, neither the president nor the trustees, with possibly two exceptions, had any idea of what the scheme mount or to what effect. The professors had any idea, but their opinions were not needed. No Deliberation Last June, without deliberation or question, the trustees voted for a return to the system which Dr. Durkee on his pervious expedition in quest of his annual Golden Fleece. Thus they repudiated his seven years' educational policy, but they really cannot see this point. His sole purpose is to pass legislation that the tyrant regardless of its import. The writer wants the public's judgment on this matter. When the trustees voted to destroy the educational program, they returned a return to the scheme which Dr. Durkee found when he straysed so far away from his village pulpit that he lost his way back, did they or not? The educational program of Dr. Durkee's Hobbling Alone. Hobbling Along Howard University is now hobbling along on the collegiate plan which Dr. Durkee destroyed in 1918. Names have been slightly changed, but the name has not changed which he found. He condemned it at the time called it antiquated, and suggested that the Father of Education set it up nationally and otherwise. At Howard. Now he returns to that identical organization, and finds it ideal. Of course, the no-money awards ago were not the same, so do the organization had to be destroyed. The last June was the same. To destroy men he had to destroy the organization, regardless of the obvious nature and repudiation. Modern Hoti. Dr. Durkee is the modern Hotl, whose only way of getting roast pig was to destroy his farm periodically. He might at the same time roast a pig, it would mean much to Howard University if some research professor could find a way for Dr. Durkee to destroy periodically his organization. The "insurance company" is certainly paying heavy indemnity for his last destruction on full salary. It is fortunate that the controller does not have to pass on Howard's payroll. Curry School Dr. Durkee spent his spare moments away from the Curry School of Exposition, which he might rid himself of certain deans and professors. His rash scheme called for the dismissal of ter persons, but a revision downward was made. The axe before popular indignation saved the fifth, the illustrious Dr. Justi, a former winner of the Spingar Medal. He engineered as a clever scheme as has ever been known to the most unsusceptible political crook. He ever went so far as to bring an expert to the appearance of honesty to his trick. Fooled Public The plan worked so well that for a time it fooled the public. Dr. Durkee shopped, exhilarated, and caused arousal, but no decision that no one had ever seen the report of the expert until it was delivered in person by the expert, who had made it known only of any influence or person; and that the trustees, who had positively no knowledge of the findings, had right awayuspulsion was aroused. Moorland Got Expert Investigation showed that Dr. Moorland, who brought Dr. Durkee to Howard, had secured the services of the expert but the expert account had spent more than a month on his so-called study of Howard University; and that his recommendations gave sarcasm and generality known to have their inception in Dr. Durkee's office, even creating a vice presidency, for which position Moorland was the alleged candidate. The plan, however, succeeded in destroying two deans and four professors. Dr. Durkee patched together a new dean and a new professor public. He declared that it was not the intention to pension Dean Cook until next year. In fact, his salary was increased and Emerton was awarded for his work for the life of course. Of course, it was strange that all this legislation had to be taken so far in advance, and especially after his humane, but sudden, pension law Plans Postponed He explained further that there was never any intention of getting rid of Dean Miller. To prove this, the trustees gave the press a release, during the summer, saying that Dean Miller had been the chucktuck to declaim the romantic history of Howard University. We checked out hilariously at "Kel and Jim" fraternizing and speaking from the plains of plans had to be postponed indelibly. Then came that "whopper" about economy at Howard. A sudden impulse struck Dr. Durkee to save Howell, who was spending about 60 minutes as much as she was opening. A big saving was to be made by dismissing four professors for no other reason than for economy, according to Dr. Durkee's own word, personal, "am sorry," writes Dr. Durkee. "I am sorry," writes Dr. Durkee, "of the trustees, action, 'but I'm my The Afro-American—South's Biggest and Best Weekly judgment the trustees have acted on business men and executives should Only A Hoax Truth, however, never loses in a prolonged struggle with a lie, even though the promoter of a lie may be catalogued as a "Minister of Education," therefore, proved that Dr. Durkee's ambitious educational program for the college year ending in June, 1326, was nothing but a hose—nothing but his of getting back at his fancied foes. Now his humiliation is evident. Though he persuaded his well lubricated board to dismiss these four professors, he forced them, despite his humble petition in which he declared that his own humiliation was imminent, reinstated these four professors in December and voted them Right Or Wrong If these professors were rightfully reinsted in December, they were wrongly dismissed in June. If they were rightfully dismissed in June, they were wrongly dismissed in December. We want a statement from President Brown explaining the action of the trustees. We demand a justification of their leave of absence with Howard Brown to prove that the services of these professors are not urgently needed this very minute at Howard. The obvious trouble with Howard Brown is that he is not responsible for his policies have been truth from the institution. Educational institutions cannot thrive on lies, and Howard University is no longer敢兇excuse to political chicery, an institution of learning is dead. Garb And Heart The most harmful, though most awkward and least suspected, exponent of malicious falshoods is the man preacher but the heart of a gunman. He is sure to have an uninterrupted proof reveals his true purpose. Dr. Durkee's glaring failure is due not only to his pedagogical unfitness but also to his unwillingness to bring to his new avocation the Christian ideals of his former vocation. The practices of the preacher enable to true clergymen. Dr. Durkee has tried to build a machine rather than a faculty. He has called upon the ideas to the ideals for which Howard University was established. He has become the tool of many designing henchmen instead of leaders. He leader of lessons. He consequently, failed dismally and instead of giving Howard a place in education, he has made it the big joke of American education. If Lord Picked Durkee If the Lord actually picked Dr. Durkee to lead men into the paths of politics, he has certainly broken faith by trudging his chosen profession with politicians, patronage-seekers, and henchmen, to do their biddings for a reorganization. He has sustained in political meshes that it is much easier for him to proceed than to attempt to go back. Salvation lies in resignation only and speedy departure. Lord Durkee is judgment Day is never remote for the educational leader who will not take his stand on the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, and nothing for a time, but it cannot end. Not Truthful The most damaging charge against Dr. Durkee is that he is not truthful. He has published a Turner's reply to Dr. Durkee at the hearing. Here is what Dr. Durkee is reported as saying: "Will you allow the president to give me Gregs, president to Hampton, came to me, and began of last year and asked him regarding Professor Turner, and the President gave to Dr. Gregs the most Turner, because going to Hampton he would have a farm and wide outlet to develop his agricultural expert skills and is his great field. Therefore he called him there on the president's recommendation, and he is doing a five piece of work. Howard has no knowledge there could not get what he wanted." Chairman: "Then you feel that much of Professor Turner's difficulty he could not get what he wanted." Dr. Durkee: "Dr. Turner was putting in applications for his department that had to do with a farm, and he wanted something to offer in agriculture." Chairman: "That was his difficulty." Durkee: "That was his difficulty." Dr. Turner Answers As soon as Dr. Turner learned of Dr. Durkess's report, he answered: it immediately, saying in part: "The next astounding false statement he is alleged have been made by Dr. Durkee as is that largely upon his influence and recommendation that Dr. Turner was placed at Hampton. I do not hostest that he was placed at Hampton as much to do with Dr. Turner's going to Hampton as the editor of the WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. I have been more or less connected with him for over a decade, and long before any type of controversy developed at Howard, the invitation was before me to accept him. I have only possible influence that Dr. Durkee could have had was in attempting to cut down equipment, keep students out of the department, and do work less agreeable at Howard." Crush Professors For the enlightenment of the reader, the writer wishes to emphasize the importance of at least a attempt to crush professors' wicked wreck the career of such professors that they may not rise to tell facts. Never would Dr. Durkee answer. Turner was often work at Hampion. If he were questioned on Dr. Turner, he perhaps did not lie on him, for the Catholic insistence that Dr. Durkee on account of his treatment of Dr. Turner, but he certainly had nothing to do with Dr. Turner's amateurism. Other professors who resigned will make the same kind of statement. That Dr. Durkee's word does not mean that Dr. Durkee is ordained in the testimony of a Mr. Robinson, who took the trustees at their word and bespoke his mind: 'Robinson's Testimony' 'My contact with Dr. Durkees has been limited to my coming here under a certain definite agreement. There was a certain confidence with himself and me when I arrived here as an instructor of architecture. That confidence was broken in absolute ignorance of the agreement, which pertained to a condition which has not been made of reasonable discussion before him. Therefore, I am opposed to him from that point of view. I have asked for a hearing between the president and general protector of the institute, and denied me by the president; so I should think that in view of the fact that one of his confidences has been purely broken without an explanation and he has said that it would only be logical to draw the conclusion that I am opposed to him.' 'Denpendate It makes no difference how long a professor has been serving Howard D. Durke, the same; namely, that Dr. Durke's word is neither accurate nor dependable. Professors accept only what later their faith has been imposed upon. The situation at Howard is clear: Dr. Durke himself to make the next move. Due to his general ignorance of procedure, he perhaps does not understand what he should pudiated him the other day, despite his humble entreaties, they wrote the preface to his resignation. He ought to have written it, but the whole matter of his retention Servant Problem Worries Congress Servant Problem Worries Congress Washington—Now comes the proposal of Representative Sol Bloom, a New York City Democratic nominee for the U.S. migration Act to permit the entrance of European women who announce their intention to become domestic servants. The Senate attends to the 1920 U. S. Census report, which shows a decrease of approximately 345.00 females, during the ten-year period 1820 to 1820, who were engaged in domestic and personal service. The decrease, however, was offset by a corresponding increase in the number of females engaged in facturing and meat processing, dusting and transportation, a change that resulted from war-emergency work and one that gave females greater industrial opportunities, required hours of work. In 1910, there were 853,887 colored females engaged in domestic and personal service activities, as compared to 818,000 in the increase of 62.756. Similar decreases were also shown for both native and foreign-born families and manners. Democratic major man claims that labor agencies all over the country are reporting a scarcity of trained domestic workers, largely because they break up of homes and propose to remedy the situation by admitting European domestics who declare to be servants for a period of three years after their arrival.

O. Tanner, foremost painter of his race, now living in Paris, who sent $25. Other foreign contributions include the following: L. A. Amponsah, Edinburgh, Scotland, 1 pound 12 shillings (about $7); H. T. Jason, Corozal, Porto Rico, $5; E. E. Skeel, Pau Basses Pyrenees, France, $25; T. E. Greer, $5, and S. R. Maples, $10. The amount sent to the National Office to date is $30,470.81. In announcing the attainment of the goal thus far, James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., said, "We were confident that colored Americans would rally to their own cause being fought in the courts of the land by the N. A. A. C. P. They have rallied magnificently. GOAL IS RAISED. The colored people of the country have justified the faith of those, like Clarence Darrow and Arthur Garfield Hays, fighting in their behalf. The N. A. C. P., in view of the fact that the second trial of the Sweet Case will just about double the cost of it, has advanced its goal from a $50,000 Legal Defense Fund to $65,000. We are confident that this objective will be reached with flying colors. "Our friends must not forget that in the very same week, the first week in January, which sees the opening of the second Sweet trial in Detroit, the N. A. A. C. P. legal forces will be marshalled in Washington before the United States Supreme Court to contest the issue of residential segregation by white property owners' agreements. And in addition, we shall soon argue bedisfranchisement of the Negro through the Southern way in primary' laws. So no matter how large our fund, there will be crying need of it and of more. Let us go on with increased energy until there is money enough, we alone to fight these three major 'cases involving the Negro's citizenship rights, but also to notice on the country that the Negro is at all times prepared to defend his rights in the land."

The one of the race at that time urged the President to replace the white personnel at Tuskegee U. S. Veterans' Hospital with an all colored staff. Principals of Tuskegee have always had the car of the White House. Booker T. Washington's luncheon with President Roosevelt shock the foundations' of the South. Principal Moton was nominated by President Wilson as a special assistant to the battle front in the World War. Dr. Moton also favored a colored staff for the Veterans' Hospital and word went out that the white staff should gradually be replaced by col- Then it was that the Klu Klux Klan in hoods, masks and gowns, paraded the town of Tuskegee, marching past the Veterans Hospital and Tuskegee Institute grounds. DESPATCHES The AFRO-AMERICAN carried despatches that threaten had been made against the hospital, the police and the life of Princlin Moton. It was necessary, the articles stated to guard the Moton home day and night and provide the principal with a body guard. Dr. Kenney, head of the institute hospital, and candidate for the post of superintendent at the Veterans Hospital received death threats from the Klan and was to leave at once. Eventually the better thinking element of the white race asserted itself. The minority had said "This is the biggest thing in this section it should be managed by white people." The more influential element however comes realize that if colored doctors and nurses could not attend colored patients in a colored hospital, then the scheme of colored teachers for colored schools was also wrong and training Institute was wrong in training colored people for any purpose. Petered Out So the threatened attack on Tuskegee by the Klan petered out. Soon after colored doctors, arrived and Dr. Joseph L. Ward, was sent from Washington, to become head of the hospital. He managed to avoid interracial tangle and developed. The alleged Klan threat at Hattleton is expected to die out in the same manner. Close observers declare will still come to more threats. Overt acts of unwarranted violence against either Hampton or Tuskegee would simi the North like the firing of the con federates upon Fort Sumter at the opening of the Civil, War. The Ku Klux, they say, are powerful enough to destroy either institution overnight, but the violence to innocent and defenseless students and teachers, the destruction of schools dedicated to the making of useful citizens and better relations between the races, would arouse in the South as as in the South as a wave of popular indignation, that congress be compelled to outlaw the Blan. and a conscience-stricken nation would rush to rebuild upon the wreckage Hamptons and Tuskegee for more numerous and in grand proportions.

In 2000, but State officers refused to allow the bank to do business until all pass books had been checked. This had not been completed up to January 1, 1926. The officers of the bank found the misplaced notes the day after the bank was closed. It was pointed out that the company no longer owns in their eagerness to find shortage in the only bank in Southside Virginia owned by Race members. The closing of the People's Bank worked a hardship on the community for a while, but most took the inconvenience in good spirit and managed to stem the tide of reverses. The directors hope to pay their first dividend in the new year, but what this amount will be has not been determined. The largest single depositor was Mrs. Webb Dinnable County, with $4,500 a few weeks before the crash came. A part of this money represented stock and the rest was on a savings account. Mrs. Webb was induced by President R. E. Burton to withdraw this money which represented an insurance policy on her husband who died two years ago, from a Dinniblock bank and buy several shares of People's stock and put the balance on savings. The bank directors have practically lost hope of ever re-opening the bank and doubt if patronage would be the same if the State would permit them to do business. Cincinnati Warned Washington, D.

Page Three NEW YORK COPS ROUTE GIRLS 15 FROM CABARETS New York—Seven new policewomen, white, and colored, appointed by Mayor Walker's new administration face the job of keeping girls 12 to 15 years old out of public cabarets. School girls who find it a pleasure associating with aged men of the under world, have been discovered to be used as tools by seasoned robbers in their games.

The school authoriti- there are being one of it to cope with the situation. Parents in many cases are out at work. The police is trying its best to clean up the situation quickly as possible as it has been realized from the detective bureau that the under world crooks are now using these school girls for their own purposes. Accords have been made between public colleges highly crowded with New York School girls from 12 to 16 years of age who resort to every device of dispiration at the instigation of full grown men some of whom are seasoned criminals.

On The Silver Screen and Legitimate Stage THEATRICAL SECTION High Class Musical and Vaudeville News AROUND THE TOWN DURING XMAS WEEK Business Not So Good The Last Half OPERATORS' SITUATION MAY FLARE UP SOON No unusual business was reported by the managers of any of the theatres for the last week. The slump that attends the days preceding Christmas was as usual, but Christmas Day and Saturday were the only formal recording statements of managers interviewed. The reason for the decline is generally attributed to the scarcity of money for luxuries after gift buying was over. The following telegram proved extremely disappointing to the authorities at the Royal Theatre, where "Body and Soul" was advertised to play on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The telegram also told "Will have serious difficulty getting "Body and Soul" to you in time to have it censored." The wire was signed Oscar Micheaux. The management of the theatre said that it was probable that the picture would be played on January 7 or 11. REGENTS STAGE CREW . . . James Kinard, stage manager at the Regent Theatre, has had a great deal of preparation for his present post. His father was considered one of the best stage mechanics in the Seattle, and was in charge at Liberty Theatre management S.C. The younger Kinard was practically brought up backstage in this house. When the family moved to Baltimore, Kinard junior joined the stage crew at the Douglass Theatre, and remained there until the house became dark before the present management took it over. He is familiar with any settings and can handle the lighting. He also operates the switchboard here. Walney Beckett, a local mechanic, is the assistant at the Regent. VIOLINIST RESIGNS Following the resignation of Jerome Carrington from the Regent Orchestra and the return of Mrs. Lillian Thompson as organist, Paul Harris, violinist for the last eight years, handed in his resignation on Saturday night. The former orchestra member was obliged to leave the organization because of the growth of pupil the students, which is produced at his studio. Being one of the most proficient violinists in the city, much regret was expressed because of his resignation. It is appreciated, however, that both teaching and eight hours daily with the orchestra were too taxing. MADISON REID & OTHERS J. Madison Reid still remains the center of attraction at the Royal Palace. Last week the singer featured a new number, "Summer Nights," for holiday visitors, who demanded that he respond to many encores. Robert ("Bob") Goodweow and Charles Jones Jr. are in the theater. The theater, dining rooms, Donard Johnson, pianist, is in charge of the music. Miss Edna Harper, of this city, has joined the Drake and Walker unit, with Jack Reid's Black and White Review. The company is playing two-night stands in Ohio this week. Tucker and Gresham, the Baltimore mourvevillians who appeared at the Regent last week, rested this week in the city before resuming their tour. OPERATORS' SITUATION .... There promises to be a positive "showdown" to be made soon between the two operated Operators' Protective association and white operators affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. Matter is in preparation for release at an early date, which promises some startling developments. ROYAL Sidney Kirkpatrick and Laura Bowman lead the field at Royn this week, and set a dazzling pace. These artists are among the professors and proved decidedly entertaining in a sketch. Miss Bowman is a delightful example of the hopelessness of the Volsted law, which Mr. Kirkpatrick as an artistic husband provided an enjoyable conspirator in the plot. Just a little something not to be taken seriously, which the "customers" didn't put together for laughing purposes, who know how to do it handsourly. Tolliver and Harris, the former a "Chink" and the latter under cork, pleased the customers on Monday evening. Dick and Dick with their familiar sketch also went over nice- St. Clair and Wilson and Pink and Pink completed the bill.

The universal verdict was that the event was a triumph of the highest order. The public and the musical critics alike were most enthusiastic in praise of both the singer's voice and the perfection of his art.

NT Doings Behind The Asbestos-Reviews THEATRICAL SECTION Saturday, January 2, 1926 Doings Behind The Asbestos—Rev DANCERS TOO ROUGH ON BILL COLLECTOR Alberta Pryme Said To Have Beaten Lingerie Seller's Cheek When Latter Tried To Collect OTHER DANCERS SAID TO HAVE GIVEN AID Girls Deny All Charges Calling Woman Agressor But Judge Plasters $10 Fine New York—Naming Alberta Pryme, of the Owl Club 125 W. 458 street, New York. Alberta Rosen who sells singles to show girls and cabaret performers, appeared as complainant in West Side Court exhibited at the Museum, and claimed that Miss Pryme with others in the club had assaulted her. The Rosen woman's face was said to twice its normal size and a part of her right cheek showed tooth marks. The three performers arrested by a court of appeals named as: Ruth Payton, 20, performer; Lucille Smith, 23,舞者; and Alberta Pryme, 23 performer. Miss Pryme, 23, became the instigator of the attack by the injured woman, was fired $10. Mrs. Rosen said that she went to Miss Pryme Bites the club to collect money owed her for lingerie. She alleges that Alberta Pryme refused to settle up or down. Ruth Payton a.i. Lacille Smith are said to have shot the woman's arms, while Miss Pryme got in some fancy decorated toothwork. Bleeding. Mrs. Rosen hurried out without collecting, and secured the law. The girls maintained that the saleswoman was the aggressor and denied all of her charges. Other performers in the cabaret witnessed the battle. Reviews REGENT Lucilio Hegeman, who I believe, was the first colored singer to attain fame after the entrance of Manieke Smiley at the Mannheim concert is leading the bill here this week. The singer is accompanied by her 9 Sunnyland Cotton Pickers. There is none of the meaning, discordant shades and but rather a melodious interpretation of her numbers in a pleasing voice with words splendidly enunciated. The singer is hard to harden, but rather a melodious tenorities, and has a charming stage presence. Under the direction of J. C. Fullerton, who is also pianist, the orchestra leaned more melodiously than dissonance of others. The entire saxophone section, James Bell, Russell Procope, and Horace Langhorne doubles. The latter also features several clever dancers var The other members are: Clifford Bryant, coronet; Cecil Carpenter, trombone; Walter Thomas, banjo; James Harrison, bassoon; the playing of the harp instrument, a Sousaphone, is suppressed and tuned. Miss Lulie Hogemin and her players save the day in a truly entertaining week. This morning, "Moving on," the number is "I'm Gonna Hang Around My Sugar," if You Hadn't Gone Away," "Camel Walk" and "Howdy Do, Diike," the latter number was written by Fullerton, the band. Perry and Perry, Oakley and Oakley and a white juggler were the other acts on the bill. The juggling was essentially a family office affair and nothing more. The performer's amount of unintended "slips" placed him very little outside the amateur ranks. STAR With EffeMae Moore, Jessie Brown and Andrew Fairchild in the principal parts, "Effe Mae Moore and Her Jazz Terrors" evidently pleased the customers here on Monday afternoon. Moore is ahead of the female service. Fairchild and Brown serve up the comedy, and had many pleased takers. Willie Brown is the straight and bold of the comedy and Phillips, billed as Charleston Sheiks, danced their way "right out of the world." The team is adept at each department of the dancing game. Elizabeth (Dinah) Scott has joined number with extreme skill. The chorus is well costumed and has been well trained. These 12 people make as creditable a showing as any company showing a performance of the dialogue and songs is another commendable point in their favor. Deaths In Profession Albert Anderson, of the former team of Anderson and Goines, died on December 8th at his home in Keouk, Ohio, from a nervous order. Since his death in a backpack last August, the deceased had sought to recuperate in Pennsylvania and New York. The deceased was 58 years of age and entered the program at McGadden's "Uncle Tom's Cabin" company. Subsequently he had played vaudeville, and with the old "South Before the War" company, Sam T. Jack's Creoles, and teamed with U.S. Army Captain and A.M. Mamie Anderson until ill health caused his wifes retirement in 1901. His last partnership with Jay Goines for 23 years and with U.S. Army Captain and A.M. Mamie Anderson had been a Keith Feature for a number of years. The two partners were insuperable and nothing ever happened in the entire life of their association to cause the slightest of deceased is survived by two elders.

Burlesque has a hail dozen of more all-colored or mixed cast attractions in the warehouse. The comedies are artistically tailored to the catwalk's viewpoint have been astounding. Burlesques have something to crow over. The reopening of the Orpheum, Newark and the Royal, Baltimore, add two other houses of mannoth capacity to those established. Picture houses controlled by or for the race exclusively are innumerable. Picture houses have unattempted feat. in filming the "House Behind the Cedars" of Charles W. Chestnut and featuring Paul Robeson in "Body and Soul." The collaboration of these three men is another step forward. "Sunshine Sammy" and "Farina" have contributed their bit to the making of the movie. The movie is set in the country and abroad.

Journals Give Garden Bout To Flowers, One Draw, One McTig' MAJORITY SAY FLOWERS WON 7 OF 10 ROUNDS In Boxing Circles New York—Out of fire of the leading New York journals, three gave the decision in the Flowers-McTigue book at the Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night, the Georgia night, the fight to McTigue and one the Times was more in favor of a draw according to a summary of rounds. The Times gave four rounds, New York a like number and called a draw. The Metropolitan papers giving the fight to Flowers the News, Herald-Tribune and the American Telegraph gave McTigue, the New York News gave Flowers seven of the 10 rounds, McTigue, two and classed one as being even, Paul Gallico, in the New York News, said "Mike McTigue for a decision over Flowers at the Christmas Fund Show. With this decision." Jack Lawrence, in the New York Herald-Tribune, said, "Mike McTigue declared the declared flowers despite the attack that the Georgia fighter had won at least seven of the ten rounds. The verdict raised a squawk that will keep the boxing world ecstatic about the worst decisions rendered in any fight club in this state since professional boxing was legalized here. Lawrence was astounded when Humphries announced the verdict, and then burst into a storm of boos and jeers that was kept up half an hour after the boxing Peter J. Brady and Bernard Glimbel, it being the first time this pair has officiated in a local club. The referee was Eddy Purdy." James P. Dawson, in the New York Times. "Flowers started the bout, warming his face, with his southpaw stance, presented a problem for Mike, the champion, which Mike did not solve. Sam Hall, Universal Service stal correspondent, New York American Tiger Flowers, the Georgia Deacon, whom that was the wind-up of the big Christmas Fund boxing show in New Madison Square Garden tonight, but they gave the decision to Mike McTigue. He co-collapsed what was otherwise a great card, and McTigue get the Christmas present. "Flowers won at least eight of ten rounds. By no stretch of the imagination could McGifne be more than two rounds. He would have given Flowers every round of the ten. Certainly he lost no round by a wide margin. He must fortunate that such a bad decision had to be given at a Christmas Fund show. Bernard Gimbel, a judge, judges. Peter J. Brady, who is in the banking business, was the other judge. Eddie Purdy, a capable referee, was the third man in the game. McGifne and Flowers fought a really tough battle. They were busy all the time they were in the court of glove fighting. "McGifne and Flowers fought a really tough battle. They were busy all the time they were in the court of glove fighting. Flowers should have had the decision because he surely was the busier of the two. It was it and certainly it was a good fight. The fight itself pleased the people who spent their money to help the Christmas fund, but the decision sent them away in a sour "But as far as they went Mike lost by the proverbial mile and probably knows it as well as 14,000 miles, but even when they will draw, but after that decision it will be a dangerous fight to stage. "Away from it: "A ten-round fight between Mike McTigue and Tiger Flower, at the New Garden for the benefit of the Christmas season, a news story compared to one of the most outrageous decisions rendered in a town where poor decisions are nothing extraordinary, and a dict to McTigue after he had been sprayed with punches from the opening to closing bells and thorny blinds, illicit verdict was turned in at the end of a bout, this was it. Even Jimmy Johnston, McTigue's son, the ladder in a daze and came to the press trenches with one hand over the side of his face in an edge of complete and utter surprise. "Flowers had every round but the third, fifth and sixth by a wide margin, and two of these were only. Only the fifth went to McTigue, and only the Irishman's enabled him to go the distance."

Bettencourt with setbacks, the boys have carried on despite many disadvantages until Race athletes' area recognized and are being accorded a place in the sun. Our boys have held the spotlight in many Northern and Western colleges and thru sheer pluck and ability they have won for themselves glory, honor and have blazed the trail for others to follow. The MIRROR wishes a most prosperous and happy New-Year to its thousands of readers and those identified with the sporting fraternity, and, while it is impossible to meet all of you or to name each individual, the same greetings are for all even if your name has not appeared in this column. So again we wish you a very Happy New Year. TRACK— De Hart Hubbard, of the University of Michigan, is one of the few athletes to have established a new record during the past year. Hubbard's running broad jump mark of 25 feet 10-7 inches at Chicago last June has never been attained by a human being. This same versatile Western flash equalled the world mark in the half century dash. He is acclaimed the greatest college athlete of all times and has run the 100 yards in 94 seconds. Brice Taylor, of the University of California, on his school relay team, ran the 440 in the new record time of 41.9-10 seconds on May 16 at Los Angeles. He is classed as the best spinner west of the Rockies. Augustus Moore, of Boys' High School, New York, secures five consecutive victories over the pick of New York school boys in the Columbia University interscholastic cross-country runs during the month of The meets at Hampton. Howard and other schools were largely attended and many track records were broken. Richardson of Dumbar deserves special mention for his performances at Hampton, he won the 100-vard dash in 9.9 and the 220-vard dash in the new time of 22 seconds. Roberts, of Bordentown, also shared honors as an individual scorer. He placed first in 120 low hurdles, the broad jump, high jump, second in the 100 and third in the 220, scoring 19 points for his team. LOCAL— J. Brady made a new State record in the running step, and jump by covering a distance of 43 feet 8 inches on July 17. We were consistently negotiated the course in 0.5 in the All-for-Glory Meets held in the Drumlin Park Box. Bordentown crackers triumphed over Wash- ington for the second time. John Carroll sporting the colors of the AFRO-AMERICAN, placed second in the 2014 race at Howard University. Carroll also won the Baltimore Health Week marathon race held over the city streets, and won the mile run in the Municipal Games on Decoration Day. BOXING— Altho not a champion, Harry Wills, the Brown Panther, is easily more popular with the fight fans than Jack Dempsey. Dempsey has "signed" to meet him in several occasions, but has always found some way to dodge the challenge. The New Orleans Mauler tops the list when it comes to the highest fincher industry. Many experts, including Dempsey, believe Wills will be the next heavyweight champion if he ever meets the best fighter. Lee Anderson is the ranking light-heavyweight of the country. Anderson has met some of the best mittmen and has given a good account of himself His latest fight with Battleg Siki in Baltimore did not add much to his prestige, as both fighters were stalling most of the time. However, Anderson is about the best in his calis. Larry Estridge lost his chance at fame by losing to Berlechen. Tiger Flowers, the Georgia churchman, is the most colorful fighter in recent years. His rise was phenomenal until he was stopped twice by Jack Delaney. However, his recent victory, according to reports, despair the adverse decision over Mike McTigue in the 1990s, placed the Tiger man in the spotlight with Paul Borlenbach for the world championship. Altho a legitimate middleweight. Flowers fights in kickboxing and heavyweight classes in order to get fights. Jack McVey found it hard to get work in the welterweight class last year. Johnny Moseley was the heaviest of the weights the past year and the son of the son, given a chance. Chick Suggs, New England champion, rules the bantam and featherweight divisions. Has recent notable victories entitled him to a crack at the bantamweight crown. Al Brown and Wilbur Cohen are the leading contenders in the flyweight classes. Both are headliners at the best clubs in New York. LOCAL— The Pastime Boxing Club on Pennsylvania avenue has turned out several good boxers, but these boys have to show their wares in other cities, as Baltimore bars mixed bouts and none are given prominent parts on local cards. Walter Eubanks, formerly Young Jeff Clark, is making good in Pennsylvania and other cities in the North. Young Harry Wills's always a good card in Atlantic City. Harry Simms, lightweight, had a successive season in Australia and is now under the management of Harry Mulligan manager of Harry Wills. Simms, Napoleon Robinson is a promising heavyweight under the management of Battling Spencer, Johnny Richburg, under the tutelage of Max Prock; is a coming light-heavy. FOOTBALL FOOTBALL Howard University is the champion of the East on the gridion. Coach Watson's Bisons have not lost a game this season. Tuskegee holds the title in the South with a clean slate for 1925. Hampton is C. I. A. A. Howard U. Watson's Bison title in the So-champion. Greater cr before. An en in various sects Va, won the LOCAL. Morgan C record. Howard Laws' squaw he become a strong have their press The Dough and Boo champion. Greater crowds have attended football games last year than ever before. An estimated throng of 100,000 witnessed Thanksgiving games in various sections of the country. Booker Washington of Newport News, Va. won the High School Inter-State football title last year. LOCAL. Morgan College, with one defeat for the year, made an enviable record. Howard was the only eleven the Bears bowed to. Coach Jim Lewis' squad held the powerful Lincoln Lions to a 6-6 tie and bids-fair to become a strong factor in grid circles, this year as the local team will bring their present squad intact. The Douglas "Ducks" had the best team in history and lost to Armstrong and Booker Washington in two hard-fought contests. The "breaks" wont against the high school in these two contests, altho they outplayed their opponents on both occasions. TENNIS— Young "Ted" Thompson, Wilberforce student and Washington boy, wears the tennis crown wrested from Tally Holmes and Edgar Brown at Bordonton last August. The American Tennis Association, under the presidency of Dr. H. S. McCard, has grown by leaps and bounds and is the reigning court aggregation in the country. Miss Lulu Ballard, 17-year-old girl. disposed of Miss I. Channels, three-times champion, for the ladies' title. Greater interest has been taken in the court game, and from all indications the New Year will find the sport of kings more popular than ever. LOCAL— Outsiders took away local honors when Ted Thompson defeated Dr. Rhetta and Miss Ora Washington of Philadelphia won the ladies' single event. Dr. Rhetta won the Wilmington, Del., championship. Young "Ed" Jones was crowned the Junior title for boys, while young Alfred Walker and John Carroll show the "makings" of future champions. BASEBALL— Bad weather late in the season was responsible for the small crowds attending the world series in the West and Philadelphia. Hildale defeated the Western champion Kansas City Monarchs, for the world title. Both teams played a bowled of ball equal to championship matches in the National leagues. America Clubs in the East and West are constantly adding new material and the prospects are the sport will reach its highest point of development this year. LOCAL The Baltimore Black Sox, according to George Rossiter, have no "kick" coming. Indifferent playing late in the season was the cause of the club dropping out of the race for the pennant. The club will be run along new lines this year and will make an effort to float the pennant over the Monumental City. The owners are already bringing in several new players of proven worth and when the season opens in the spring the team will have the ear-marks of a strong contender for honors. BASKETBALL The history of the Renaissance of New York over the Original Celtics (white) last week, who are the world champions, places the New York club at the top of the basketball world. The score resulted 37-30 in one of the greatest court games in years. Basketball is fast rivalling base-ball in popularity as an American sport. Howard University, Lincoln, Wilberforce and schools of the G. I. A. A. had representative teams, and attendance has increased over 30 per cent. LOCAL The Baltimore Athletes had an unusual prosperous season last year, and in their last three starts this winter have emerged with tiring colors. The team went on the longest road trip ever made by a basketball team. This group of ball tossers, under Manager Howard Wright, have achieved a name for fair and up to date the country. They are the ambitions that last. The Scholastics, unfortunately out of the running this winter due to financial difficulties, was classed with the leading teams last year. The High School floor team went thru the season with only one reverse, they lost by one point to Armstrong in Washington. The AFRO league has started this year after being idle for a few years. The seven clubs making up the team are evenly matched and crowds passing the games every Tuesday and Saturday in the "Y" gym. This will be a banner year for cage followers. AUTO RACING- Auto racing is a new sport that has gained considerable popularity in the West and is gradually being introduced, in the East. Several creditable marks were made last summer among auto and motor cycle riders. This sport is rapidly gaining headway among fans all over the SPORTS MIRROR SPORTS MIRROR LOCAL BOWLING TEAM MEETS CRACK CAPITAL FIVE THE BOYS The Guilfords, bowling team who are strong contenders in the Pioneer League for the silver trophy offered by the management.

The Afro-American—South's Biggest and Best Weekly HAMPTON TAKES LEAD BY DEFEATING TIGERS Seaside Quint Jumps In Lead In C. I. A. A. By Winning From St. Paul 40-20 "CUTIE" BROWN FROM BALTIMORE CONSPICUOUS Former Scholastic Player Diverts Some Of Team Mates Victory To Himself BY THOMAS W. YOUNG Hampton, Va.—Hampton advanced another peg in the race for Association supremacy when a Tiger from the wilds of Lawrenceville failed to break thru the case, and a certain Seasider clan ran 'amuck doubling their opponents score of 20 while St. Paul's lad looked on in confusion. Another face took the limelight today as twice-elected captain, Chester R. Jones, recorded six baskets to take high point honors with 12. Jones was a mainstay in Hampton's protective often dislocating St. Paul plays which looked like inevitable goals. AMIS SHINES. Amis of the Tigers, almost single-handed, accounted for over half of the team's points. This versatile forward throw, often shooting under fire, the Seasider, Hargrove, comes close behind Amis with three shots and four free tries for a total of 10 points. "Shortly" Lambright was next down the lily with four baskets and one foul shot. Both teams exhibited well tutored defensive games and keen passing skills, and were able to their feet. St. Paul was handicapped by inadequate playing facilities at home, but expects soon to have a new coach and trainers on the road. CUTIE/'BROWN Robinson sank a couple of long ones for the Tigers, while Bannister and Cutter were able to be situated for Nelson, guarded well. The guarding and passing of "Cuttle" Brown for the Seasiders was especially brilliant and worthy of mention. Both teams defended the Freshmen by a count of 9-5. The Lineup: AMKTON ST.

DR JONES WARNS CITY AGAINST MEASLES Spreading Throughout Baltimore. Earlier This Year. Than Usual HEALTH DEPT. GIVES ITS SUGGESTIONS Advises Mothers To Segregate Sick Children And Call Doctor At Once Measures epidemic risk: rapidly gaining headway in the city of Baltimore according to G. Hampson Jones, of the city Health Department. The increase has been so rapid that 523 cases were reported in November. This means that the height of the epidemic wave will probably come in an interval about 3 months earlier than usual. Measles is regarded as a spring disease and not a winter disease. Measles cause a good many deaths about two and a half times more than influenza. Dr. Jones says. All most of the measles deaths occur among babies as the result of the disease running into pneumonia. Winter measles are more apt to be fatal because there are more babies infected, according to Dr. Jones, measles is an epidemic which cannot be stopped spreading so easily like influenza as to be virtually beyond control. The Health Department, however makes the following suggestions to mothers: If you have a child under 4 years old or if you have a child under 4 who is not in good physical condition: 1. Do not take him shopping or to other places where there are crowds. 2. Do not let him play with children who have been exposed to measles. 3. If an older child in the household who has not yet had measles gets exposed in school or in any other place, keep him and the baby separate for two weeks before he should be taken to the baby. You cannot rely on separating the baby from him after he has taken sick because he will have infected the baby several days before he should be taken to the baby to separate an older child from the baby is to send either the baby or the older child to the home of a friend or relative. It is not possible to them separate in the house. 4. If your child gets measles, put him to bed in a room with plenty of fresh air and not too much light. Call your physician for measles as too light a disease to need a physician.

Kesner, president of the local branch, National Association for the Advancement of Colored people. Mr. Koger said, "The Hayes' recital of January 6th is an effort at segregation in one of its most venerous forms.

Mr. Lane and I met Mr. Hayes' managers term two years ago when he was desirous of singing here, and a 60-40 division of the 'gross receipts in Mr. Hayes' favor with $1.60 as a top price. The contract was finally let to her, a white wife, who wished to have Mr. Hayes heard in Baltimore.

Now Mr. Hayes comes to us under a white bureau's management and just because they are white they expect us to gulp down the high prices asked us to thank your boss, and to thank you, Ms. Hayes.

This is the same arrangement as other women in Georgia Wednesday of last week. In Chicago, the week before, there were no special arrangements along the color line.

Everything met everyone's approval and then the feature picture, "The Goose Hangs High" flashed into view and 1,600 eyes became focused on the screen, 300 miniature hearts beat a little faster and hundreds of little brains absorbed the Christmas story about the unappreciative boys and girls who were taught the Christmas spirit by their wise old grandma. Then. The Show But like all other good things the picture ended, the orchestra played a lively air and the curtain was lifted disclosing the Woodens who did more things with bleycles and educated hoops than Wrigley has done to chewing gum. In rapid succession followed Nites the contortionist, Anita Bush and girls, Ray and Lloyd with their musical instruments and Bagby and Manton the dancers. A more orderly crowd of youngsters has seldom gathered in the city said the attendants, of the theatre, and the little visitors voted the man who had been the subject of GOOD FELLOWS. 400 boxes of candy and cakes were distributed to the various orphanages of the city also.

East Baltimorean Always In Lead At Holliday Street When Old Ky, Came Syndicate Operated To Keep Championship Across Town The minds of oldtimers went into reverse on Monday afternoon at the Star Theatre when Jesse Brown, best known for a school of local performers, fast disappearing came on the stage. Brown's chief claim to fame in days past, was a buck and wing expert. He was born in New York and defeated all competitors in Oldtown and other sections of the city. The annual theatrical occasion at the former Holiday Street Theatre, now for down town audiences, at the early days of 1900 was the visit of "Old Kentucky" the racing drama which always showed at this house. feature, fascinating to small boys and many of their elders was a band of colored boys, called the *Pickamiammy*, who provided the street and jazz concert outside the theatre and on the stage. Attri.1 in brilliant red instruments, they were the envy of every small boy intown. Brown Was Boss The high spot of the Thursday night performance was a buck dancing contest with a host who defended the professional dancers carried with the show. Jessie Brown never missed entering one of these competitions, often developed into one of extreme bitterness, but Brown usually managed to annoy the first prize winner, a contemptible; some say that merit conquered. But it was often whispered around corners wherever newsboy raplies in school the next day; that Brown, who was in charge of the entries, never permitted a competitor to enter that he thought had a problem. Undefeated Champion Whether the accusations were just or not, Jesse Brown held the title for a surprisingly long five, and was never unstretched until a few years before for the thesis. "Thrilled in the Straw" was the title tune played for the contestants, and the judges were the "gallery gods" of both colors who milled around on top tiers of seats and yelled out their approval of Jesse's performance portions of the show dancers. Jesse Brown shared honors with "Nigra Bill" as the leader of the Number $ Gang (The Gang was thus numbered for Number $ Fire Company which still stands at Gay and Elder. The Syndicate All East Baltimore boys "went for Number 6, and doubtlessly cast their vote or jesus Brown during those months so the team so called "Syndicate" could discourage any aspirant who invaded their neighborhood and threatened Brown has headed his own company and has played quite extensively over the colored time.

Thoughts Of The Founder Selected from the writings of the founder of the Afro-American. "In the century to come the Negro will be sought for only in proportion as he may, have something to give to the world. He may be a Paul Lawrence Dunbar, a Henry O. Tanner, or a DeKoven Thompson, but in either case he must demonstrate the fact that he is able to kill and then his color will be no bar to his advancement, as he will hold the future in his own grasp." Polly Ticks Mr. Edward H. Wright, political boss of the second ward, in Chicago, having aspirations for a national Republican politics is quoted Chicago parishers recently as follows: "Leaders of our district have here Madden again. We consider it a distinction to return a man like Mr. Madden to Congress. Our Congressman is one of the best in the house. As chairman of the house, appropriations committee and as a leader in Congress, Mr. Madden can run the nation than any man of our own race we might send to Washington. We consider it a patriotic duty to send him." Mr. Wright's district is probably the only one in any big city which can elect a colored member of Congress. As he goes on, however, he doesn't want to. Why? Some say there exists a political deal, whereby Mr. Madden is to say in Congress as long as his care to return colored political plums in the state. Mr. Wright is on the Illinois commerce commission at a high salary. Chicago has a municipal judge, assistant corporate attorney, and in fact more political posts than any city except New York. On the other hand, politicians left at home and a colored congressman elected. The next year the State legislature would Jerry曼斯德尔 Mr. Wright's district so the state barely belts colored voters. Which of these two explanations is true is not known. It is known that Mr. Wright's own explanation is pure bunk. If Mr. Wright loved his own wounded soldier, all the would resign today and turn their places over to "those who can better represent us." Thieyes Fall Out Thieyes Fall Out "Furnished rooms for rent for colored folks. Inquire within." This sign painted on a concession stand was displayed from No. 2 second floor front of the building.

No dwelling white, while the adjoining his neighbor buy the dwelling. The neighbor refused. The two had words, and out of "spite" Levine advertised for colored tenants. When throws fall out, wise men come to their own." This has been literally true in the real estate business. Quarrels between white property owners sometimes prove the only way by which an overcrowded colored can expand into adjoining blocks. It has been true in industry. White labor falls out with color colored workers get a chance at jobs from which color prejudice has long Allens went home to serve their mother countries in the world war and industries had to call the colored workers out of the far South by the thousands. Permanent advantage for the man farthest down often comes when those higher up quarrel. Sometimes it is a disadvantage. The capitalist knows when he can't get any one else to work for him, he can hire colored folk. The real estate dealer hopes that when all other tenants fall, he can rent to colored people. Even Uncle Sam unable to get volunteer soldiers in sufficiently large numbers, thinks he can fall back upon the colored race. Where advantage is permanent, and it often takes a nice judgment to determine it, colored folk should profit by such disagreements. It is, however, time to consider whether such move is profitable or a mere temporary scheme to pull chestnuts out of the fire for one or the other of the contesting parties. In the instance above it is worth noting that no colored persons answered the advertisement. Mr. Leine and his neighbors will have to settle their troubles without making the goats. Mr. Walter Cohen, Collector of the port at New Orleans, La., was freed of conspiracy to violate prohibition laws and assist bootleggers in funding $2,000,000 worth of run last week. Thus another chapter in the eventful life of a politician in the South. Mr. Cohen was nominated for the office by President Harding. The Senate, upon the objection of Louisiana senators refused to confirm, and Mr. Harding put Mr. Cohen in office as a recess, appointee. Subsequently Mr. Coolidge sent the Cohen appointment back to the senate and after a bitter battle he was confirmed. Ku Klux, however, threatened to "get" Mr. Cohen. They might have succeeded in their plans this time but for one of their number who weakened under fire, and admitted that his testimony against the collector of the port was "frame-up". Patrick Needham, white, undercover prohibition agent, already convicted of taking bribes in this case, was the chief witness against Mr. Cohen and which questioned by Cohen's attorneys gave testimony in part as follows: "Your duties sometimes require you to tell lies, do they not?" Needham: "Yes." "Your work requires you to enact the role of a crook and grafter and you are in the business of doublecrossing." Needham: "Yes." "Were you not sworn in. at the injection office of the Klu Klu Klu Klu Obiected to. "Are you not a Klansman?" Objected to. "Your father is a member of the state central committee?" Objected to. "And your father is aligned with the Republican faction headed by Dr. D. A. Lines, which is opposed to Cohen." "No, the Republican I read that in the newspapers." Mr. Cohen had secured the prohibition job for Mr. Needham. Suspended for two years, Mr. Needham got his job back. Then out of gratitude this alleged Klu Klux made an effort to implicate his 'friend' in the rum scam. This is an excellent lesson to Mr. Cohen. He escapes this time with only his whiskers sung, due to the inability of the double-crosses to the uprightness of Federal Judge Grubb, who ordered the verdict "not guilty." Mr. Cohen has learned not to trust double-crossing dry agents as his friends, and not to accept the hospitality of the big bootleggers. Personally he may continue to regard prohibition enforcement as a joke, officially, he learned better. Wink at it.

"Get my hat, Will," said the conductor as Will spread a newspaper over the seat upon which he tenderly placed his chief's valise and brief case. "And," continued the conductor, "look over those orders and see whether number eleven will be on the siding waiting for us." "Yessir," answered the valet with a happy smile, as he picked up a yellow lantern and started for the door, to return a few moments later with the conductor's rain coat and head-gear.

The other day, Honorable John Smith, colonel of the New York City, was given the gavel; ascended to the restroom; and presided over the last session of the Board. No one had heart failure, and none of the white aldermen resigned. The fact, he said, was that his white colleague broke out in hearty applause, upon the elevation of their official brother. There was no silence of inferiority; nor did the question of social equality come up for them. The reason for the serious business concerning the greatest city in the United States; and at that time the course of events called for Alderman Smith in the chair. He had been duty elected to office by the people, and was willing to make efficient and honest representation, regardless of such incidents as hair texture and skin tints. Alderman Smith is alderman for ALM—not some—of the people in his district; and he is willing to help his friends go to the polls on the election day. It would be a splendid step forward if government were interpreter of the instrumentality of ALL—not some—of the people. It would probably result in the election of some additional Audestons and "Judge Georges" in places other than New York and Chicago.

Mr. Editor: I fear you miss the real point, or lesson, of the Detroit trial when you go off in a contrast of Christianity with Darrowism.

The good deeds of miffles sometimes as a means of arousing the faithful to a closer imitation and a more sincere following of the Master. Just one illustration. The design of the book of "Jonah" in the Bible is to indicate the attitude of the Almighty toward "race prejudice." Jonah had been a preacher for a long time to God's people, the Jews. Such terrible backsliders the Jews become that of Jonah the impatient and forgetful of God. Jonah, as a preacher, had utterly failed. Now, in order to administer an indirect rebuke to his chosen people and show them how quickly the colored people of the city would repent and turn to Him if given a chance, He ordered Jonah to go to Nineveh and preach. But Jonah was steeped in "race prejudice," and turned aside to go elsewhere. Then after he had ten overt acts of his misdeeds with the fish, he went to Nineveh and preached, and had a most glorious success. And, instead of being glad by reason of his great success, because of this same "race prejudice" he became even more viciously angry, and wanted to die Let us not abuse real Christians who are-nobly working for the Spirit of Christ to permeate the mass of humanity. "Race prejudice" is a terrible and obstinate disease which requires long, patient and unwarred treatment. But the race is the emphasized the financially among the race must cease exploiting the race and capitalizing "race prejudice." God hath iniquity and hypersperous, and when the materially prosperous among us turn to the Lord with all their hearts, they will show by that kind of love that they betray, by that kind of love that they cheerfully dispose them to use their means and their talent in a genuine effort to decrease "race prejudice."

It is not uncommon to see natives of great wealth and position as high as that of chief justice. In many parts of the country, they were activated and used for African newspapers, while numerous prominent natives were dropping the European names they had adopted to their African appellations.

The fact that Mr. Locke was chosen as Rhodes scholar from among all of the competitors of the State of Pennsylvania shows his merit and his mettle, when he is considered that personality and social qualities are determined along with scholarship and determining factors, we are simply amazed that a Negro should have horse away the palm over his more favored rivals. Peer of Race. In cultural equipment Dr. Locke is peer, if not superior, of any Negro in America, or, for that matter, in the world. He has conceived his vast storehouse of refined and exact information, together with a singular detachment eviction to the sublimation of race. One would naturally expect that a scholar of his subley of mind would seek solution through the sublimation of literature. Dr. Locke looks to the portrayal of the Negro's soul; artistic form as indicative of the relationship in the racial life and relationship. Art or Propaganda. He boldly discounts the method of sociology, philanthropy and religion for the more subtle and potent influence of art. Dr. Du Bois' in his review of Dr. Locke's book, in the current issue of the Criticism of the Christian religion, which attempts to divorce art from propaganda. But Dr. Locke rather agrees with Keats that beauty is its own excuse for being, an dthat art for art's sake has a greater pragmatic value than pragmatism, and will not attempt to settle the disagreement between the learned doctors. I note, however, that Shakespeare never preaches; he merely portrays. He holds the mirror up to nature, whereby men may see thelection of a woman and duty, and walk therein if they will. Curiously enough, in this connection one reads in the current issue of the Contemporary Review that the Russian intelligensia is undertaking to project the renaissance of Russian higher hope against the modern naval, Paskhin, the Russian roost, and novelist. Alexander Pushkin. It appears that he has, by way of pure art, depicted the soul of the Russian people and pointed out their racial and national destiny, and has thereby set the mind and high call to Shiva's soul. The relation between literature an dile is so inviting a theme that I shall shortly return to it as a special release. But I must reserve the remainder of my life to the moment of space of important propositions in the volume now out before me. The New and Old. What is the new Negro as compared or contrasted with the old? Let us first try to determine what is the Negro. Has he a soul that can be bisolated and described in terms of its own quality and essence? Can noily determine the soul through its manifestation. Its pure essence is so subtle and elusive that no attempt has yet succeeded in isolating or defining either the individual or the social soul. And yet we also know that races have certain psychic peculiarities which set them apart and differentiate them from other races and Negro Spirituals. We learn of the soul by what escapes from it. Tito Hebrew race turned its soul wrong side out, and gave the world, the Bible, that all-sufficient storehouse of spiritual literature. The Negro poured out his soul, his spirituals, from which we learn that it possesses high spiritual potential power. In another mood this same soul has given jazz to the Negro. In still another mood the Negro has never felt well bubbling over with good nature and shrewd discernment. The soul stuff of the Negro is of the essence of the Christ soul. It is slow to anger and plentious in mercy. It resists not evil, but overcometh evil with good. When it is reviled, it revives not a gain. It hopeth all things, helieveth all things, endureth all things. Soul Qualities. This Negro soul is modified somewhat by environment, diversities of condition and infusion of different bloods. But its basic quality is persistent. Whether old or new, his soul for survival in an Anglo-Saxon environment is aside from the question. We are seeking definition, and not doctrine. I have laid down certain of the basic qualities of the Negro soul, whether old or new. Negro man has his soul in terms of the environments and conditions; the new Negro does the same. No Basic Diversity. The diversity of appearance is due to a unitary substance acting under varied stimuli. I am displeased the guard of the old Negro was in the same light as an English bishop described the difference between the old and the new in religion. His analysis was that which is true, and that which is true is not new. Genius of Race. The old Negro in bondage and ignorance and superstition was as true or truer to the genius of the race in the output of his spirit as his grandson with a Ph.D. who assays to express it in the refined and record form of literature and art. There is much caricature of the soul of black folk. We often see imputed to it the revenge, animosity and resentfulness of the Anglo-Saxon. Every Negro who is an artist is not a Negro artist. Pushkin and the Dumke and Tanner were artists whose Negro blood was a meaningless incident. Dunbar Negro:Poet. Dumbart was both a poet who was a Negro and a Negro poet. He has given us the Negro soul in its pure revelry where no white eye could see or ear could hear. On the other hand, he has given us gems of pure poesy that will rank among the choice bits of literature for all times to come. He was properly called the Robert Burns of Ireland, the he could imbricately delocrine the life he has given people, and at the same time poetry in refined English speech the workings of the universal human heart. Borrowed Soul. The first generation of educated Negroes tried to borrow the soul of their perceptors. They were mines of their masters. They endeavored to feel, think and act as their models. They spoke as the white man would speak. Any differentiation of music or manner was considered by some to be an ashamed of the jubilee music which up to this day is the chief spiritual output of the race. As a result, this generation was culturally sterile. Their literary effort consisted in feeble and uninteresting imitation. Miller and Lyle of Fisk produced "Runnin' Wild" which heks so sharply with the traditions of their alma mater that it would run their former teachers' minds. He broke with his tutorial traditions that he could begin to express the soul of his race. Renaissance. It is noticeable in the "New Negro" that the first section whose creative productions constitute what Dr. Locke calls "The Negro Renaissance" are not in the main college area but in the second part, which deals with deserts. The authors are all but without exception men and women of collegiate degrees. The nature and circumstances of the Negro race contain a wealth of cultural material which has scarcely been touched. The pathies, the tragedy, the joy, the sorrow which gather around the people when properly portrayed, identify themselves accorded according to the canons of style will make a powerful appeal to the imagination of mankind. Unlimited Field. The fiel doffers a most attractive opening for the educated men and women now passing through our schools and colleges. There are thousands of white youth who would benefit from the wealth of artistic material, but the races are at present so widely separated in social areas that it is almost impossible for them to attain to such a sympathetic meeting of the minds as to enable them to give a normal and natural portrayal. This is the result in burlesque, caricature or a conscious artifact which is death to art. Creative Imagination. Our colleges are now turning out young men and women by the hundreds each year. The higher education must justify itself by more the nite performance assigned to different colleges. We must look for work of creative imagination. If these works are forthcoming in proportion to the boundless possibilities which are wrapped up in the situation it will doubtless make a better place for the race in the estimation of our white fellow-citizens. For after all has been said and done, the highest value of life. The producers of art hold the first place in the esteem and appreciation of their fellow-men, and the race that produces artists along the various lines of culture will be enhanced in the eyes of mankind. The world likes people who can do things, be merely pityites people who have things don et them. The style of art used to illustrate the "New Negro" is significant and suggestive.

"WHAT BABY SAID" The other afternoon I was lying on the sofa in the drawing room, reading the "Afro" and in the mean time trying to keep my seven-year-old son quiet, who was lying beside me. All at once he gazed in my face asking me to read aloud to him. I said "Brewington, you won't understand." He answered, "Oh you don't know mother I might." However, I did. Finally I told Brewington that reading aloud made my throat dry. He exclaimed "Well read to yourself then," and I did through several interruptions. Not being able to keep quiet any longer he inquired "Mother, didn't you say long ago it made your throat dry to read," I said, yes! He then said in return, "Well it should be good and sore by now."

Dead Folks'Money A SHORT STORY As her cousin entered by the back door Lil Robinson limited a welcome, exchanged iron for a hot one and ordered to press out a tablecloth, "Born down street?" she asked, noting Bemonia Peck's "I've been to the Lawyer Smith." Bemonia took up painting into a chair, drawing a citation paper in this morning mail about Harvay Pillen's an arm, too. He might ought to be, "Haven't heard anything about it." He was dead, of course, and that was year and a half ago. He was him in my life, so I didn't feel terribly interested, even though he was my second cousin. He doesn't. don't understand! We are who he is! For, of course, we are he cited, too—to appear as magistrate in the city of Belfast on 2 o'clock on November 21 to show cause why he was and testament of Haru Pitcher, deceased, should not be admitted to probate." She was quoting impressively. Ll turned a laughing face from the ironing board. "Well, you have got it all by heart," she said. "But what does it all amount to, anyway. "amounts," Bennielle's voice trembled. "to $80,000 to be divided among eleven heirs." A momentary astonishment crossed LIL's sweet, honest, sensible face. "How do you know?" she asked at last. "Henrietta told me so. She has been working on this very thing since Cousin Havenley told that is what she will go to be Benjamin for. You realize, LIL, what it means. Sixty thousand divided between an of us—more than one since Henrietta is going to build over her house. We are going to have a new car and a new rug for the parlor and a new dining room suite. We won't salt it in. You can only be young ones. What are you going to say?" to die, she didn't get it yet." Lil folded and creased the tablecloth and hung it on the bars. Her eyes were wistful for thousand dollars wasted, and money. If they should ask, they could use an advantage, with Thelma and feed clamoring for more than their parents had ever had and George tiring out quicker than he used. Her mind spun a new instance inside the cup, a new summer a groove, bill paid, a new overcoat for George and a new stove. Dear, dear, how she needed a new stove. Only yesterday ashes had been her laying on the floor, she had to be careful that Thelma didn't find it out. If there was anything in this inheritance story she would or chicken for Sunday, she would see. She would see, she meant she would see, or carefully with her husband, she didn't intend that the children should find out about it. children said they children did find out. They came in jumping in from school wideeyed and voiceless. "Mother, we are going to get $5,000. Did you know it?" Reed demanded. "And when we do we I'm going to have a new silk dress like Aubrey the Phoebe." Scammon's. "We'll call you." "Who told you this?" Lil said, dish- ing uphurt Skillen. Her mother told Sir. She gets $5,000, too, mother. Is that just salt pork stew again?" added. Thulpe. "It is salt pork stew, Thelma. Run and get ready. Here comes daddy," George Robinson, "red, gentle, entered." "Good dinner smell," he commented, "It's only old salt pork stew," poured Thelma. "Daddy, we won't have our $5,000, when we get giants, will we?" he questioned, his answer, "Yes, we heard. Never count your cabbages till the end." George sat down in Ben Snyder's garden, night and destroyed every one. Guess we'll go on as we begin." George sat down in Ben Snyder's garden, into it appreciatively. A great unrest had been created in the children. Dorothy Skillen had been talking in terms of the future, going to get her a white fox fur—when they got their $5,000. Thelma wanted a taupe foal. Reed wanted a real radio, not a scrappy old set he'd fixed abroad. That night there was more talk of the same nature. Llama, Mama, Mr. Skillen and had also received her citation papers. There might be something in it. She alighted. Henrietta was so positive. Barnham had assured her. Barnham "Now, see here, youngsters," Lil said firmly at last, "if we get this monkey out of living, I promise you that. It will be invested in a rainy day fund and you might as well stick to your studies and get down to bus- Next day Dorothy Skillen trailed in to show her new scarf. "Mother got it at a store, and had it on her. But you ought to to mother's new seal coat!" "Charged, too?" George said dryly. "Well, of course, we'll have plenty of money in a week or so now, but we don't have a reason in waiting for our things is there?" photograph is an art creation by artist of this city, shown at the months ago. The old lady is the st. ks' Money Thema looked so down-hearted that Lil felt a pang. She drew a deep brow. Presently came Benola Peck. "Come over and see what I've got Lil, she said. I found the very ding-room suite I wanted at Ashstons." "Did you have it charged?" Lil asked. Benita looked irritated. "Why not? Cousin Harvey's estate will be settled at once and I can out of my $5,000. It was only $220." Lil wanted to see the new furniture. "They have a rug at Ashton's you ought to get," Benita said. "It will be two, we two, if I were you I'd snap it." "Guess I'll wait and see," Lil replied. During the week that followed Lil had a day of some new thing or one of her cousins had bought. "Dorothy has a new gray dress," Dorothy presented. "They've got lots of new things. And we haven't had anything yet." CONTINUED ON GALLEY NINE "We haven't had any money yet," returned her mother. "But we are soon to get it." "But we are soon to get it," Now stop fussing, my child, and attend to your regular business." A few days later the heirs received a letter from Cousin in Harvey's office after the settlement it had been met. There was exactly $700 a piece. Hannalett wafted, Benonna wailed. "We're going to settle it down," Hannalett mourned. "The last thing I did was to buy a new toilet table for Dorothy's room. I thought sure that plenty to build over the house with." "We won't have a hundred dollars free and clear," sorrowed Benonna. Well, $700 looks like a lot of money. "To tell the truth, I never expected we'd get anything." I am pleased thr and through." Suppose now you'll get your rug. It's on the window at Aston's. Benonna said, jealously. "No. I can get along without the rug. I shall put the money aside for the rug. And, let the interest accumulate. I cannot storms or George isn't feeling good and things are a bit awry. I shall remember that nest egg with pleasure and thank Cousin Harvey for the peace of mind it gives me. And that new rug, more to me than all the new rugs, in the world." ended Lil earnestly.

Usually he started in the afternoon, those many years ago, but on this particular day he had been detained, and it was after nightfall before he had halfway accomplished his work for the day, that, since, knowing every foot of the path by heart, he could travel it by night as easily as by day, and he trudged along at a rapid pace thinking only of Betsy and his children. So he got to the depths of a thick piece of woods, when he heard a rustling in the undergrowth near him. "One er Squire Thompson's honeydone run off," he thought. "Well, I can't get to knot it for dis night, sunday," and he kept on his right foot, neither to the right nor to the left. The rustling continued and in a few moments, as he came to a place where the path widened a little, and the trees grew further apart, leaving no room for the bushes just in front of him but a great big black bear! Now, Uncle Ben knew a bear when he saw it but none lived in that part of the house he and he could "Brother Moses!" he said to himself and stopped short, looking at the bear. The bear looked at him, and then, growling, came toward the old man felt scared, and with good reason, he was really a large one and there was no alone in the woods, a mile from any house, with no weapon except the thick walk-staff which he held in his hand, him, he grasped his sick, and with the energy of despair held it up threateningly. He's joyful surprise, the bear at this stopped immediately, and rising on his hind legs, began to dance. Doubtless, many of you have seen a dancing-bear, but not one of you did the spectacle as did Uncle Ben. As the bear stood up in the moonlight, he saw that a rope was the around his neck, and the long end of it was the spectacle. He understood from this, together with the dancing, that the bear was a tame, or at least an educated one and he read the necessity of not being so fearful. So he and walked bodily up to the bear and looked at him. Then the bear feeling the pull came down on his forefoot, and followed him. The bear held of the slick,向前ly thankful If the house is small, it is better to do without parlor which is not often used and give one room to the little folks who will use it every day. Sunshine is as necessary for babies as for plants. A baby not given sunshine will droop and pine just as the plant does. Therefore, choose a sunny room which has windows and doors on opposite sides so that a continual abundant supply of fresh air may be obtained. The baby's room should be kept comfortably. The furniture should be larger than it is better than stoves. Oil and gas toves exhaust the air in a short time. An open grate is a great convenience both for the additional heat and because it helps to dissipate the heat. The floor should be bare so that it can be kept clean by wiping it with a damp cloth or dust-mop. A few washable rugs may be added. A rug can be provided at the windows, as they can be hindered frequently. FRESH AIR: Fresh air is essential for the healthy baby. To obtain the best air without a handle of the room. The windows may be opened from the top. They should be screened against screens and disguise him so should be provided with awnings. In the winter time, a plentiful supply of fresh air without drips may be obtained by tacking the windows on the floor or on the window screen. This also keeps out particles of coal, soot, dirt and snow. All the furnishings for the baby's room should be of the simplest kind. The furniture should be a damp cloth or laundered and kept free from dust. The equipment may include a screen to protect the baby from dust without arms for the mother, baby scales, bath tub, basket for toilet articles and plain table. A chest of drawers or b. reau is a welcome convention. The first bed may be made in an ordinary clothes basket, lined with a sheet. This can be picked up and carried easily, which is an advantage. It may be placed on the chair or a box, never on the floor. A feather pillow is not suitable for a mattress or for the baby's head. Use an oil cloth or ordinary cotton of hair, oil or cotton, protected by rubber sheeting, light oil cloth or paper blanket. Since rubber or oil cloth is not washable pad should be used directly underneath the sheet. Tablet felling makes an excellent pad for this purpose. The baby will breathe more easily and take a larger supply of air into his lungs if no pillow is used. The pillow may be placed under his head. Toward the end of the second year, a thin hair pillow may be used. The basket for the baby's toilet is the basket of the camel. An ordinary wicker basket painted white is better than a line with cotton or silk material and decorated with feathers. The supplies for this basket should be of the first quality. It is better to have a few good things Phone, Madison 2047- J. Poro Hair and Toilet Products. Since the hair is the world's most delicate fabric demands exquisite care.

When the odd companions reached this, he stop, and Uncle Ben, reasoning that if suffered to sack its hunger on persimmons it would be less likely to eat his pusses, milk and aguin, and if it would eat no more. Then they took up their line on march once more. Uncle Ben leased the aguin and aguin, until it would resist or resistance whatever. Great was the astonishment of his good wife Betsy, and their children, when at nine o'clock at night, after they given him him up for that least, he appeared with his captive. Opening the door at his knack Betey started back with both hands: "Ben Harrison!" she exclaimed: "what the ton the yer dervil you git dat bar?" Betey thanked leod. Betey, he answered: "dot do he didn't git me; I thorst he had done it when I seed him, for shuch." Then Betty escorted her missing dog to the house of the plantation. The master came out and listened to the story in astonishment, shaking hands with the owner in hourly congratulations when he wished to leave. "You're a lucky friend. Den, it more ways than one," said he. The dog belongs to her. The dog stopped in the village to-day, and will give a show to tomorrow. The dog escaped from her home, and offered five dollars reward for it. The bear was secured for the night in the county out-house, and by daylight secured a box on horseback to village with the news of its capture. Very soon its owners appeared much rejoiced to receive an in town luxury for (for test some one might have shot it, not knowing its value) under the knife.

Her father was sure that she would be waiting for her father to go to the neighborhood. He wanted her educated, but I am not sure how I bring a sample of Aucher. She was the first person who could hardly believe that a diminutive, untrained Negro girl could fashion such objects of art, and she became a sensation. Meanwhile, her father was at home, refusing to witness her "carnival" and to go to her school. Finally, he could see how the people were crowding around. Augusta Savage was astonished, but, as a result, he arose to the occasion, donned his "biled" shirt and hurried to the scene of triumph, strutting proudly, as becomes the father of a celebrity.

WORK EXHIBITED During the county fair at Palm Beach in 1920 Miss Savage was encouraged by Lawyer George Currie, president of the fair, to exhibit her work, and gave her a space in which to present her work. The father herbed her not to so expose the family and herself to ridicule by taking that "junk" to the fair.

GIVEN 18 MONTHS FOR SHOOTING PAIR Luther Dockery, aged 25, 1921 Biddle street, was sentenced to 18 months in the Maryland House of Correction on a charge of shooting with intent to kill Henry Demby, 1923 Henniman avenue, and Lorenzo Coleman, 1921 Henniman avenue. The assault took place yesterday in the home of Coleman, who came to Dockery in the house with his wife. According to testimony in the Northeastern Police Station, Dockery went to the home of the Coleman's during the absence of Coleman and was entertaining his wife, Pearl Coleman. While there she gave him the baby to hold. The baby began to cry and Dockery slapped the child. Mrs. Coleman drove him out of the house. The husband returned unexpectedly and Dockery also returned, and when he found the husband there an argument started. Dockery drew his gun and started to shoot. Demby had the baby on his knees, and he lifted it just in time to prevent the bullet from striking it. The bullet hit Demby in the side. Dockery then shot Coleman, who made his escape through the basement and out again over the roofs of five houses, with the police in pursuit. He was sentenced to 18 months- one year for the shooting of Coleman and six months for shooting Demby. Baltimore Woman Dies Samuel T.

SELWYN THEATRE MANAGEMENT SUED New York Patrons Fight To Recover Damages For Ex. clusion Of Three Years Ago STATE CIVIL RIGHTS LAW IS INVOKED Costs Of Suit Far In Excess Of Sum Originally Asked New York—Because they were refused admission to the Selwyn Theatre in August 1922, McKinley and Thompson are suing the management of that house, the Selwyn Operating Company. Dedays have prevented the hearing of each of them if it has been cilled. Both suits are for $1,000. First papers were served in the court action soon after the occurrence. Each case had to be made out in February of this year. Last week in part one of the Third District Municipal Court, the second case restored after six adjournments. Each suit is for $500 because of the "causing of grave humiliation" incurred when the aggrieved parties were denied admission to their color, as the papers allege. The other $500 is based on the New York Clll Rights Law, which grants to every race, creed or religion rights in any place of amusement. William R. Lassette and sundry other employees in and about the house kept them from entering the house. In August 2nd, attorneys for the plaintiff state that the costs of the two years it has traveled around the cases have amounted in the three years it has traveled more than the principal invoked.

C.—The Hay Street Methodist Church, white, where the North Carolina Conference recently convened a congregation with a remarkable work—remarkable not because it has 117 years of existence back of it. Remarkable because the spiritual foundation in which it was built in which it has grown, was laid by a Negro shoemaker. There was only one religious congregation that of the Presbyterian in Fayetteville, N.C., a single church when Henry Evans the shoemaker, who had been heeded to preach in Porssity county stopped here on his way to Charleston, S. C. then the seat of the distinguished Bishop William Carte. There is no record that he ever continued his journey. History records that he decided to stay in Fayetteville and people his age, he closed his life, not until he had started such a religious movement as it is given to few men to start. He not only held the peace of the people of the community, his fame as a preacher of wonderful power spread far and wide. The beginning of Methodism in Fayetteville is directly traceable to his work. "Heaven To "His People" He was not the least remarkable. It was his appearances with word or "his people." A testimony of a St. John, it has been called. Bishop Capers was in Fayetteville on the Sunday and during the meeting, he says. "The Lord between his life and the little place where I stood, was on the and the dying man entered a last farewell to his people. He was almost too old to support, but supporting him by the railroad church he said. ing. I have come to say my last word to you. It is this. Christ. Three times I have had my life jeopardized, preaching the broken ice on the edge of the water and swam across the Fear to preach the Gospel. Three times I have broken the ice on the edge of the water and swam across the Fear to preach the Gospel. If in my last hours I could trust Jesus like else but Christ, crucified for my salvation, all would be saved. This is a spiritual heritage which any church has proudly cherished. Read To John Wesley Henry Evans must have been one of those rare men who are often "speaking to the tongues of men" who sage "gels" gifts with a course that seems failure to carve all before it. He must have something of the stance John Wesley on him. In another day John Wesley and generation what might he not have been preached to "his people" and was run out of town to be preached and hunted by a criminal. And the white people found a change in their behavior to servants who went to hear him preaching in the wilderness they must have heard him giddily, for we later find him preaching in the wilderness. When Bishop Capers came to Fayetteville in 1810 he said that "Henry Evans was the most remark-able of Fayetteville." He said that Henry Evans was a preacher of his time and the quarter. The good man is the author of the statement hat this Nesro man is confessedly the father of the Methodist Church, white and black, in church in which Henry Evan preached and which he later returned over to the white community with his own church and more than likely was built by his friends in labor went into its construction also. At his death he continued the property adjoining the trust named by his self, but before that he carried the pastor of the church Circuit to come and take the charge of his meeting house and work already had begun into other hands. In what Bishop Chapman must have been the first house of worship ever built the Fayetteville. This church in community people with the Scotch who have no reputation as church themselves.

Holy Trinity Congregation Urged To Excel In Congregational Singing A public baptism ceremony in the Catholic faith, the first in the memory of most priests of the archdiocese of Cincinnati, to be held in this city, took place at Holy Trinity church, on W. Fifth street, on Tuesday night. In a ceremony lasting two hours Archbishop John T. McNehols performed the rite over 29 men and women who have that been inligition into church by the gmaster, the Rev. Leo M. Wailsh. His grace was assisted by the Revs. J. B. O'Rigan of St. Joseph and John O'Rigan of St. Joseph as subdeacon, Very Rev Joseph H. Albers, chancellor, was master of ceremonies, and the Revs. Leo M. Walsh, William P. O'Connor, Lawrence Krone, Raphael Rodgers, Rolfs assisted at the ceremony. The services opened with a procession from the school auditorium the church with the neopolitan bishop and the knight before a brilliantly lighted sanctuary and made their profession of crusading by a sprinkling with the bantam warriors was performed at the font before the altar of St. Joseph. After the exercise Archbishop of his church that he expected each to be an apostle and to bring hundreds of Negroes into the Catholic church they had been baptized previously in was given to some conditionally, in other churches, and the ceremony of Tuesday night was valid only if they had been baptized and also asked the colored congregation to practice congregational singing saying that he hoped Holy Trinity would lead the archdiocese in this Bishop Orders Church Abandoned Bishop Orders Church Abandoned Because the St. Philip A. M. E. Zion Church at High Ridge Park, Laurel, Md., was unable to meet its obligations, Bishop J. C. Caldwell of the Baltimore and Philadelphia Diocese of the A. M. E. Zion Conference ordered its abandonment last week. Order was given the Rev. Abigail Duffy, its pastor, who was instructed to notify the Gross-Grant Realty Company that the conference would return the church to them. The church was built last summer by the realty company and turned over to the conference to encourage the High Ridge Park development for a consideration of $8000.

Pregs The Afro-American—South's Biggest and Best Weekly CHURCH HASN'T MADE PROGRESS IT SHOULD Conquest Of Race Prejudice Is Problem Facing Country Says Bishop Thirkield BLAME LAID AT DOOR OF COUNTRY'S CHURCHES Other Professions Cooperate Denominations Still Fight Each Other CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — The Church hasn't made the progress it should in the conquest of race prejudice, according to Bishop W. P. Thirkield (1904) of the Methodist Episcopal Church, speaking at the Pastors' Association in the Y. M.C. A. Monday morning. Bishop Thirkield said, in part: "Our love for Christ has not made the progress it should in demanding humanity, justice and sympathy for all men. How often we hear the terms, 'sheeney, greaser, nigger' and erroneously a whole race because of the coarse or objectionable qualities of certain members. This is utterly unChristian. The very attitude toward the Jew, for example, is the tragedy and reproach of Christian history. "Such names are apt to have behind them an attitude of contempt and hate that is dangerous. It is hard to find a fitted film with the stone held for hurling in the hour of crisis. If not curbed we shall see, as in the past, in California toward the Japanese, in Omaha toward the Greek and in Mississippi and Illinois toward the Negro, the demon spirit of Russia that deprives out the human face with an unprecedented conningling of the races, such an attitude is full of peril. "One of our first problems is the conquest of race prejudice. In this is involved not merely the religious progress, but true civilization. You can never reach and Christianize peoples whom you patronize or despise in inherently and forever against or nationality. Red, yellow, black or brown skins are the gifts of God as well as white skins. Human hearts beat behind the mall and suffer and struggle and bleed and aspire. "Our Anglo-Saxon civilization is gathering up in its sweep and current men of all races. Only a spirit of broad sympathy and generous cooperation will reduce the race of our blood and reduce the race of feudal antedicts and rivalries into a civilization that is genuinely tolerant, co-operative, Christian. SOCIAL EQUALITY. "Such a fear is groundless, because there is no such thing as social equality. There is social privilege and civil right, but no such thing as social right. Every man is lord of his own castle and his personal sacred agreement. Governor this whole business in the following words: 'Social equality is a delusion set up by the demagogues incivic contentions to meet his ambition for place and personal benefit paraded as the devil for the mischief of the influences against the Kingdom of God. What men want is not equality, but sympathy, civic justice and human rights. "Preeachers are the leaders of moral forces in all races. Let there be an organization, as best manly and as ad-hoc as Christ, in every city, to membership, which representatives of all churches an dall religious and reform movements of every religion and race shall be eligible. and here let us note the manly larger spirit of cohesion between scientists and physicians of various races, in work for human welfare, than there has been between ministers of various races and races for the larger and social betterment of peoples. That is science has done what religion has tried to do." Y. M. C. A. Notes The Ever Read Social Club gave a pink tea at the Branch Friday evening. December 18th Haiti.

BISHOP HURST HOME FROM FLORIDA Real Estate Boom There Causes Migration From Other States RACE WORKERS PROFIT FROM NEW INDUSTRIES Baltimore Not Working Collectively For Progress As Other Cities Looking the picture of health, Bishop and Mrs. John Hurst arrived in the city Christmas, from Poughkeepsie, the distinguished churchman spent a month in his diocese in the interest of his church work. On their way up they were joined in Washington by their son and daughter-in-law, Dr. and Mrs. E. P. Hurst, and grandson, who spent several days at the beautiful Hurst Though not fully recovered from the fatigue of the journey, the good Bishop was all alight with animation by a representative of the APRO-AMERICAN. Whatever I say about Florida is copyrighted from him, said he is up from time to time a bushel of letters that had accumulated during his absence. "Yes, we held two conferences during our stay. The Florida Conference was held at Monticello, Jefferson county and the West Florida Conference, at Panama City, both of which were well attended and reported large numbers of attendees. You know just now we are stressing what is called the Seminary Fund, an offered used for the new Seminary building at Edward University, which is being regarded as one of the best schools in the country. It has an enrollment of 300 and a faculty of 35, among which are represented the leading colleges and universities "Speaking of educational conditions in the boom state generally, the University of Michigan has made an increased appropriation to the A. and M. College at Tallahassee, but the county public school has not made an additional than a collection of false pretenses." Florida Boom Asked if the Florida boom is having any appreciable effect upon the colored group the Bishop's countenance brightened; "You know down in Florida many colored workstores are artisans of a very high grade. These men are in great demand and are difficult to obtain at very high wages. Better still, they are for the most part exceptionally thrifty. The boom which the State Department is effecting of checking the migration of colored people from Florida, but there is a decided influx of them from Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. Virginia their sudden coming in large numbers creates problems, chief among which is that of sanitation. Houses are not being so well maintained, a score hudded in one small home. For example, Miami has accommodations for some 15000 people while there are fully a hundred thousand in the same is true of West Palm Beach and other large centers. The sanitation problems are being attacked by these municipalities, but it must be years before the situation is finally Prison Camps Speaking of whipping in the prison camps, which was recently abolished by an act of the State Legislature, we know that the inmates was considerable agitation in certain counties to have the practice restored, but he was of the opinion that outside sentiment would continue strong enough to prevent its resurgence. What about race relations was next asked. "They are certainly worse than here. Business relations are, if anything, better. In the large cities, women may not try on any article of wearing apparel which they may wish to purchase. "But," the lishop added with a twinkle in his eye, "they have splenid stores of their own fully capable of rendering good service, and this may have a good deal to do with the kind of treat they need from their companies and financial institutions are able to take care of the major part of race mortgages, which not only sets their money working around them, but also gives their clear of money sharks with their exhertribut rates of interest." Concluding, the Bishop declared he always felt ashamed when he came home and observed that here our group is not working collectively, but that we are expressed himself as most willing to be a generous contributor to a fund that would employ a trained observer to study our conditions here in comparison with other cities having large colored populations so then we would just what is needed and thus be in a position set our house in order. 1926 SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON COMMENTARY Sunday school workers are being supplied with the Sunday School Lesson Book, the Baptist Publishing Board's Point at Nashville, Tenn.

The question is very frequently asked, this is asked sometimes by those who desire it is asked by those who merely wish to do not actions by those will state right here it is wrong to attend them. I do not maintain that all dancing is so a time to dance. But what does this make up? It is the meaning of dirham who was after the Israelites had been delivered from made for them a pathway through the sea, to express her joy at this deliverance. It did not dance with any man. In Second Amusue I have an access from the House of Obededom to the city moving the Ark, David danced before it, be religious dance; for David says "Praise Goes the presence of some women, and on a Meredith, reproaching among the anti-al proper to dance in the presence of Indid in the presence of ladies was called a base. Jephithah, when he went forth to battle useful when he returned he would offer in he mot. His own daughter met him. She was a sad dance, for the poor girl was dian. In Mark VI you have an example of daughter of Herodias. Hered had taken hi Baptist had rebuded him for it. The women of the family were very upon the opportunity to be very close to him. She was that he promised to give her whatever shence of her mother she asked for the he led to the exertion of the great man. The problem is that the supped by the Brunswick M. E. Church. The serms by Prof T. W.

M. E. Church. The sermon next weekley Fisk, University—Editor. Text—“Envyings, murders, drunkenness, rebellions and such like, like the which I tell you, as I have told you in times past that they who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.” The question is very frequently asked, “Is it wrong to dance?” And this is asked sometimes by those who desire to engage in the modern dance, it is asked by those who merely wish to attend it, even though they do not participate in it. I will state right here that if dancing is wrong then it is not a thing that will change it. I do not maintain that all dancing is wrong; for the Bible says there is a time to dance. But what does this mean? In Exodus we have an account of the dancing of Arafar who was the sister of Moses and Aaron. After the Israelites had been delivered from the Egyptians when God had to dance, the Israelites brought the sea, then Arafar danced, in order to express her joy at this delivery. It was a religious dance; and she did not dance with any man. In Second Samuel VI we have an account of the removal of the Ark from moving the Ark, David danced before it, but he danced alone and it was a religious dance; for David says “Praise God in the dance,” but he danced in the presence of some women, and on account of that fact, his wife, who had a daughter, said that the Supper of the Lord was at all proper to dance in the presence of ladies. The man that would dance in the presence of ladies was called a base fellow and a son of Bellah. Jepithah, when he went forth to battle cowed that, if he were successful when he returned he would offer in sacrifice the first living thing that he did, and that he should do it. As they were, he was a sad dance, for the poor girl was dancing alone. Mark VI you have an example of dancing on the part of the day. In Mark VI you have two brothers' wife and John the Baptist had rebelled him for it. The women had opportunity to revenge herself upon the great preacher. On Herod's birthday the daughter of Herodias danced before the king and pleased him so that he promised to give her whatever she might ask. Through the influence of the preacher the head of John the Baptist which led to the execution of the great man. The sermon this week was supplied by the Rev. W. J. Snowden, pastor of Prof. T.

Minister Page Thirteen Saturday, January 2, 1926 Business and A Weekly Review Of Lab Conducted by Wall Forum Speaker Hits Bread Trust Criticizing the Baltimore baking industry as a one-man trust which can dictate the price of bread throughout the country, Basil M. Manly, (white), Director of the People's Legislative Service, urged President Coolidge to act in interest of the people at the Forum Sunday afternoon. Three large baking concerns, said the speaker, including the Ward, Continental and General Baking Corporation, have a total capitalization of $6,750,000. Some idea of the enormous profits which have been taken from the people who must buy bread from the various corner groceries can be gotten from the fact that the stock of these recently merged companies has advanced from $2 a share to $1350. William B. Ward, who is the financial genius of the bread industry, can dictate the price of bread throughout the country. Not only can he arbitrarily carry up the price of bread at will, but because of the enormous purchasing power of his bread trust he can indirectly fix the price the farmers receive for their wheat. The speaker also called upon Congress to demand an investigation which will reveal not only the power and extent of this monopoly, but also the influence which has so effectively paralyzed law enforcement in this great field of industry. But Few Colored Do Factory Work In urging that the next New York State Legislature pass a law which will give the State Department of Labor control over the so-called factory "Homework"—that is, work sent out from the factory to the home for completion—Miss Nellie Swartz, State Industrial Commissioner, points out that 20,288 persons are employed in the State on work of this character. work of this chapter.

IN MEMORIAM Call VErnon 6016 The preceding article dealt with the finances of the enterprise. This article will deal with the business home. This would be the next important step; finding a suitable location for the business contemplated business be manufacturing. Easy access to railroads and shipping centers where raw materials entering into the making and the finished product itself can be transported with a minimum amount of handling at the factory. This is very advantageous both to the business as well as to the prospective customer when it is borne in mind that the finished product is usually shipped to customers F. O. B., in other words the business pays the freight on incoming raw material, while the customer pays the freight on outgoing finished products. The superior location has been acquired, the management then is faced with the problem of whether to buy the location or lease it. The final decision of course will depend on several factors, but a newly organized enterprise should keep as much of its capital in liquid condition, with this thought in mind. I am in favor of leasing for the first few years as against buying; the same conditions are applicable to a retailer, in this particular, buying takes the place of manufacturing. In many large retail organizations the products sold are manufactured by the company themselves or companies closely affiliated with the company in the retail organization, say with a capital of $50,000, should not attempt to manufacture, but concentrate on selling, because the profit to be made from quantity discount would be greater than the profit derived from any attempt in the field of retailing. In fact, a tailling organizations have lost large sums of money in their attempts in the field unmindful of the fact that their chief function in the economist scheme of things in distribution, finance in outside or sidelines should only be entered into in case of extreme emergency, such as the chain stores and large multi-order houses were forced to do after it was found that they could not get the proper service from manufacturing. In these instances, where the stores are running into the millions annually, the ends justify the means. Little Rock, Ark—With the diversion of hundreds of Mexicans, who are being offered employment as cotton pickers in the South, a menace is seen to the Negro cotton pickers, upon whom the South has so long depended for its labor. Just who is behind the inflow of Mexicans in the cotton districts does appear. The fact remains that are centering in certain localities and that, working for a low wage, they are constituting a permanent menace to Negro cotton hands, who are used to American standard of living and cannot stand wage reductions. Job Dodgers In Africa Punished South Africans who will not work will be liable to deportation to a penal labor colony. This is provided for in a bill which the Minister of Labor has prepared for introduction at the next session of Parliament. The measure confers vast powers on the Government, and under its provisions any man who requests assistance from the State but refuses to accept work offered to him, will be subject to shipment to a labor colony for any period from one to five years. The plan provides for rewards to men committed to a labor colony who make a genuine effort to reform.

Liberians Make Traffic Laws, Dodge Firestone's Autos Monrovia, Liberia—So many automobiles and trucks have been landed recently for work on the Firestone Rubber tire plantation, that traffic laws are necessary for the first time here. According to the African World, the public has been warned to use the sidewalks in order to allow tusnobstructed traffic to streets, at right angles to cross the street at right angles at regular crossings. Referring to the Liberian rubber-growing project in the "Wall Street Journal," Mr. Harvey Firestone, jun., said he did not take the criticisms seriously. Firestone is actually producing and tapping 2,000 acres leased from the Liberian Government at costy compared to the big areas in Malaya. Seed for the big areas which they will exploit later will be obtained from their nursery of 2,000 acres, sufficient to supply 20,000 to 50,000 acres per annum. There are also native plantations available at call, and others in the German Cameroons. They do not anticipate more difficulty from swamps than they are the reckon on 25 per cent waste land. The whole of the 1,000,000 acres to be developed is not in one block, but split up into a number of specially selected plots. It is proposed to establish twenty centres, each with its own organization, for the gradual development of the country. Hard surface roads are, being constructed. Mr. Firestone anticipates an emple simple supply of labour from the estil- As I ambled into the smoker for a final whiff of old Kentucky burley, my right ear began to burn, and I know from that never-failing sign that some vocal explodents would tickel my ears sooner or later. Entering the smoker, I seated myself north by northeast from two travelers of peculiar characteristics. The fingers of one sparkled with diamonds as he chapped an all-havana perfecto of invincible proportions. A swallow-tailed coat and gray spats added to his personal ustre, and he seemed to have that confident air which usually accompanies a fat purse. The other gent impressed me as being the hard-working deskman type, of high nervous tension and a superabundance of appreciation for details. He was holding an income tax blank in his tight grasp, and despite his homely appearance I received quite a shock when I observed that it was of the $5,000 class. Turning to the prosperous looking passenger, I heard him say, in a manner which indicated a bit of pain: "Well, I've got to get myself to together and send off my income tax check. Can't see where the dough's gone each year." The firm raised me to five thousand dollars, last year, and it's been all the little wife and I could do to finish paying for our little nest egg in sight for a rainy day. She's a fine manager, too, but her health's not very good. It keeps me busy figuring out how to pay off the cook and the doctor. "Hm!" responded the prosperous one, thoughtfully. "What do you do with your surplus?" Oh, I get four per cent on that in the bank. It's pretty safe there, and I can always reach it in a hurry if the wife needs it." "Well," replied our friend of the sparkling diamonds, with a hearty laugh. "You should invest the surplus in non-taxable securities, and then you'd only be taken when you sold them. You can't take it if I used, with a wise grin; and 'I don't care whether Andy Mellon gets his tax reduction plan to working or not.' Tax-exempt securities are the things to have. An earned income, unless you've got lots of dependents, is a pain in this day and time. And even if you've got a big family you can juggle it all. You can still have a side," he continued with a chuckle. "Then the fellow with the modest salary pays the difference, doesn't he?" ventured our homely friend, as he took another look at the tax blank. "That's the idea, pure and simple," responded the prosperous one. "But that isn't quite fair is it?" asked the modest one in a painful tone. "Sure! Everything's fair in love, war and taxes," replied the fair man of means. It took patience piled up double for the illusion administration, it was all cut and dredged to put the entire burden on the poor and those of moderate means; to put the burden on those being poor, or to give exemptions for a gang of dependents," our genial friend Tuesday, 5 P.

At present labour is being exported from lack of employment. In reply to a criticism made here that they had placed their labour costs too low at 24 cents a day, Mr. Firestone said that though anger on the coast might be brought to 48 cents a day, his state did not obtain in the interior, and they are they can get all the labour they need at 24 cents a day. The scheme for building a harbour at Monrovia at the mouth of the river has also been criticised here as impracticable due to the shifting sand on the J.G. White Corporation is engaged in making further examinations before starting work, but is confident of success. Summing up, Mr. Firestone said that his firm had very carefully investigated all possible rubber areas before deciding that Liberia was the most promising site. Rice is doing three cents a twelve cents a pound, four ten cents a pound. The new road connecting Monrovia with Marshall is in progress, and poles for the erection of telephones are being put in place. The new road will shorten the distance to Monrovia by thirteen miles. The streets are being cleared of grass and rubbish, new houses are being erected, and electric lights are promised in new office facilities. A new general post office building was dedicated to President King last month and a new building is under construction for the Secretary of Education. *concluded as he drew forth a fresh perfecto from a silver cigar case.* Just then the busy porter entered the smoker and replenished the towel rack with fresh linen. The gangger put on any ink on board?害羞ly inquired the modest passenger. "I want to figure out my income tax." "I think we have, sir," replied the porter, promptly. "No sir," responded the porter. "How's that? Do you make less than 5,500 a year or have you dependents?" "Both," answered the porter, with a laugh, "If I made -5,000 a year, I still he exempt." he continued. "Why? Are you a tax evader?" "No sir," answered the porter. "You see, it's like this. I'm holding on to a couple of Victory Bonds, which I'm going to split among my six kids, some day; and you see, I'd get -2,400 exemption for the kids alone, and that's more'n I make on the road." he concluded in a happy vein, as the man of means scowled.

Johnson has a code of etiquette all his own. He was invited to the home of William Boston to partake of the Christmas turkey Friday, and was so long showing up that Benson his friends could not conclude that he would not show up and began to eat. Just as the last crumbs were being cleaned up and the last signs of turkey and gravy were being wiped from the mouths of the guests, Johnson put in his appearance. Offers were made to take up a meal for him from whatever could be found, but Johnson was mad. He made so much mischief choice portions that it was because they didn't save him the sary to oust him bodily from the Not to be outdone and determined to show them that his appetite was not to be trifled with, Johnson went home, got his gun and attempted to shoot up the place.

Jones was not particular, about basketball, but he made it his business to be on hand when the box office was opened at the Richmond Market Armory Christmas night when the Athenians met the Flashes Sports lovers were cheering loudly as the ball was dropped in the basket from time to time, but Jones heart gave a bound as each ticket was dropped in a little wooden box as the fans passed the doorman. Suddenly there was a rush and crowds began to swarm in the door everybody had a ticket, but the men in the ticket box were not selling any. The man on the door looked for his box. It was gone. He looked for Jones, he was not to be found. Just around the corner that gentleman was doing a flourishing business selling tickets at reduced prices. A colleague after a chase of three blockes promised to accompany him to the Northwest Station House. He was dismissed the next morning when the Athenian Management declined to prosecute.

Mr. Walter Wattz. 1857 W. North Ave. Mr. Walter's take on the difficult duties Because of church associations dancing at Morgan College has been "listed among the "Thou shalt not." The ban was Bited "Tuesday night at the First Smeet e r Social when the student body was permitted to shake the floor. In the change of police, Dr John W. Hawkey, Dean of the college said that many of the best regulated homes and schools take the position that the student is not only innocent but unmissable as any other innocent term of recreation. Prohibition and taboo don't stop people from dance; it simply makes them sneak into a whole problem is one of regulating an amusement that will inevitably be inadulged and there is not the slightest doubt that this is the correct approach of dancing. It is not only two dances are allowed at the college. The first is known as the first semester social and the second that comes later in the year is known as the Junior's Prom. There was no trace of the "Prudence Prim" type of college girl present as most of the young women very elaborate dresses and shoes were worn. The college was furnished by a local orchestra.

PASTOR HURLS MILK BOTTLE AT DEACON'S HEAD The Rev. George W. Kinnile Forced To Resign After Stormy Church Session FINANCE WRANGLE CAUSE OF TROUBLE In a stormy session of the church conference, soon to have been punctured with violent and bitter language not usual. They used in the church and officers are allowed to have come almost to blows when the former hurled a milk bottle at the head of an opposing trustee Sunday night at the Friendship Bunts Church, Saratoga street, near Carey. The near battle took place at the regular church service Sunday, as which officers and members had gathered to settle a financial disagreement between the pastor and In Money Wrangle Some time ago, it seems the pastor appealed to the congregation to have certain regal's done to his study room. One of the women auxiliary organizations volunteered to finance the work with the provision that it be given time to accruals the necessary funds. The pastor, however, did not wait, but ordered the work done and advanced the money for it himself. At the close of the night service and a subsequent Sunday, which being a communion Sunday was one of the prosperous money days, the pastor called on the trustees to pay him the amount due.
