SPECIAL--PIONEER BUSINESS MEN'S EDITION--SPECIAL 0 "MESSIAH" GOT $8,000,000; 13 CHILDREN Head Of "Live And Never Die" Sect Arrested In Chicago MEMBERS GAVE HIM ALL THEIR PROPERTY Church Rules Compelled Women To Give Him Their Daughters A federal drive to arrest the leaders and break up a religious sect known as "Live and Never Die" went on in three states this week. The Black "Messiah" was arrested in Chicago. As head of the order he is said to have accumulated 55,000,000 and is the "husband" of all the young women of the church. The federal charge is conspicuity to violate the Mann white slave act which forbids transportation of women from one state to another for funeral purposes. Members of the set in Atlantic City and New York were arrested. In Atlantic City ALVANIC CITY.—Three homes of the "Live and Die Never" die were raised here by federal agents last week. Seven "elders" and "sister" were women who was his younger woman when agents charge the victims of the "Huck Messiah," one Elder E. W. Roberson, head of the sect. They have become mothers of thirteen children ranging in age. They will all be sent to New York for trial. Agents say the "Messiah" also 60 years old is father of all these children. Gets Worse As They Proceed "It is almost unbelievable," said assistant Frank P. Cainahue, of New York. "but the father we go into this the worse it appears. For one thing it is an organized group of men who are all certain features away from those who join the sect. This is apprehended by Robertson; whom we have reason to believe, is worth $40,000." The exclusive evidence that he alone has been ruining colored girls who are in some cases less than 15 years of age. Women members of the sect are children when they become of age. No one else is allowed to approach them. "One of the rules of the cult is that upon being initiated the members and earthly possessions to the sect. We know of one woman in New York who turned in $5,000 when she joined with the hope of curing her sister, who protested that her son was not curbed she was told that he could not be curbed unless she submitted to the intentions of the "Messiah" and her sister." All Were His Dupes "Practically everybody in the cult but Robertson were his dupes. He has done a term in the pentecostal church, but it was actually a rule of the order that no member was eligible to become an unless he had done a term in practice. The money taken in by the cult is carried in different banks and is otherwise invested. Here prince Charles used the different homes was paid for by checks on New York banks. He six of the young women being carried in the witnesses, carried babies in their arms when they were brought in. The children were all well clothed and appeared to have been well fed.

Wheatley, a week to answer charges filed against her. Reason D. Briages, just the president, is presiding at the hearings. Charges presented in writing were read to the committee by Mrs. Sara Boling Mason, chairman of the art exhibition committee, said she presented her report with, "deep sorrow" and urged the committee to give them "prayerful consideration" ifer charges read. 1st. Act. Mrs. Laura D. Wheatley, acting as President of said Federation, without the advice, consultation or concurrence of the proper officials, did arbitrarily set $400 of the expense incident to the accommodation of Miss Augusta Stark, at the recent Art Exhibit. 2nd. That Mrs. Laura D. Wheatley did, without the knowledge of any official of the Executive Board or of the Art Committee, secretly made a commission charge to Miss Savage of 20 per cent of the said $300, to be paid Miss Savage, by said Art Committee. 3rd. That Mrs. Laura D. Wheatley did, without the knowledge of any official of the Executive Board or of the Art Committee, have an arrangement with Miss Laura Wheeler whereby she was to receive 15 per cent commission on all the sales of Miss Wheeler's paintings made during the Exhibit. Together with these three definite charges, I beg to submit the following evidence. In support of Charge No. 1, I present to you a copy of Mrs. Wheatley's letter to Miss Savage dated December 11, 1925. Charge No. 2 is undeniably affirmed by the letter I present written by Mrs. Wheatley to Miss Savage under date of January 26, 1926. Charge No. 3 is sustained by the signed statement of two members of the Art Committee. Call Over Telephone Mrs. Mason told the committee that Mrs. Wheatley called her up early in the week and asked made her a guest. She gave Mrs. Wheatley, she said the gist of the charges. Despite this advance notice, the executive committee asked for Thursday night, February 25th, to make her answer. The meeting will be held again this Thursday night at the Community House to listen. To Exclude Dr. Mason For nearly half an hour the executive committee discussed the advisability of having Dr. Joseph B. Mason withdraw from the meeting during the discussion of the charges. Dr. Mason insisted, as a member of the art committee, that a right to his point. The AFRO-AMERICAN was condemned for printing the announcement that the executive committee had come out to the press, and sent her a letter to that effect. Several members said they did not know how this information had gotten out to the press. Ms. Wheatley and Miss Savage, said to deal with the question of commission are also in the hands of Mrs. R.-J. Mason, to make the letters public, saying that after the executive committee had come, to some conclusion she would be in position to make a statement. Regular meetings of the Federation have been put off until the resignation of the president is passed upon. Asks Public to Reserve Judgment Wheatley sent the AFRO the following statement today: "The public is again requested to reserve its judgment, touching the matter of the president." B.

C.—The subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee, to which was referred the anti-lynching bill introduced by Senator William B. McKinley, Republican of Illinois, unanimously favorably reported the bill to the full committee last Monday morning. As soon as the subcommittee made its report, Senator Charles S.

NEW ATLANTA BARBER BILL HITS WOMEN ATLANTA—A new Atlanta barber bill passed unanimously by the City Council last week, bars white women and children under 14 years of age from colored barbershops. Under the new law, shoes must edge at 7 o'clock every night except Saturday when the closing hour is nine. The Rev. Ashleigh Jones, a white print minister against the new bill in one of the daily papers, as follows this week: "If the city council can dictate to us who must cut the hair of the woman and who shall not this precedent give them the authority in the future; to tell us who shall occupy our kitchens, drive our automobiles, wait our nurses our children? Indeed when we once tear aside the veil of racial prejudice which cloaks this presumptuous piece of intelligence, it is a blow at the heart of democracy close akin to the spirit of the tyranny of a Mussolini: "If the citizens of America will to stand, it will be a clear, cut surrender of their freedom.

Newspaper reports had it that Dr. Hood's failure to put through the United States program in Liberia, which involved the $100,000.00 investment of the Firestone Rubber Company, the State Department, and the stone investment were rejected by the Liberian legislature at its December meeting. The State Department denied these charges. Officials of the State Department said that Mr. Hood was ill and has been for several months, and he returned to the United States at his own request. The nature of his illness was not known, and officials said that their reports were that he had fainted in Monrovia on several occasions. Mr. Hood is still in New York. He expected to be within a week to confer with State Department officials. The question of a successor to Mr. Hood has not come up, insinuus. His term is indefinite.

THE AFRO A Market Place for the People Read for Profit: Use for Results TYDINGS WOULD STOP HOWARD APPROPRIATION Maryland Congressman Joins Mississippiians In Committee Report Minority Democrats Oppose Making University A Federal Unit. WASHINGTON, D. C. (Afro Bureau)—More than $4,000,000 in illegal appropriations have been given to Howard University out of the Federal treasury, it was declared in a minority report submitted to the House by the Committee on Education last Friday. The report is signed by Representatives B. G. Lowery, of Mississippi, and Millard E. Tydings, of Maryland. They are Democrats and oppose the bill federalizing the university. The report says: "In the founding of Howard University, 150 acres of land was purchased at a cost of $1,000 per acre, in 1873 and thereabouts much of this land was sold / at auction to the Freedman's Bureau gave the school the $500,000, so that within seven years of its inception the school had funds from two sources of well over $100 million dollars. "Just what was done with this fund the catalogue does not recount, but by 1875 the university was $100,000 in debt. But expenses were properly recorded, and in 1870 Congress came in to relieve the situation." From 1879 to 1925 inclusive a grand total of $4,138,815.50 was appropriated for Treasurer Howard University. "All these appropriations," the report says, "have been illegal. The introduction of the present bill is an admission to the university, so often been made in the Congress to require that this proposition be discussed. Not only is it without structure, but it is not the spirit, not to the letter, of the Constitution. There is no legal ground on which the support of a private institution can be shown." HIDDEN LEDGER UNCOVERS BANK LOSS-$65,000 ELIZABETH CITY, N. C. — The famous hidden savings ledger found in the Albermire Bank which failed recently shows a book deficit of $50,000. W. H.

Holland was not suspected until after the bank closed. The bank was begun, the investigator run across a check which had been paid the day the bank closed. In going through the bank's loosely recorded account, the investigator found an entry covering this account. He questioned N. E. Hart assistant cashier, and was told that Holland had placed a filing cabinet in the bank vault. Hart produced these, and a subsequent search of the vault disclosed the hidden savings ledger in which many dollars of the shortage was concealed.

In her bill which was filed thru the law offices of Attorney Howard W. Payne, Mrs. Thomas Deaches that the conduct of her husband has been cruel, vile and vicious and caused her great suffering. On the night in question she was forced to leave the house alone to cope with friends. On several occasions prior to the assault, she declares her husband has threatened her life. She is at present confined to bed under the care of a physician. Knocked Down Stairs There is no question as to how she came to be at the bottom of the stairs, Mrs. Thomas told an AK-10 reporter. She was taken to the hospital, she declared. Pickled up by one of the party who defied the order of the irate husband not to assist her, Mrs. Thomas was placed in an automobile and removed to the hospital. In the interview, Mrs. Thomas denied that her married life had been smooth sailing for eighteen years. This is not the reason for her refuge in the home of friends because of cruelty, she declared.

Preachers' Meeting in session Monday morning authorized the announcement of offer of $250 reward for information which will lead to the finding of the Rev. J. H. Fitchett, pastor of the A. M. E. Church, Pocomoke City, Md., dead or alive. POCOMOKE, MD., (Special)—Stirred for a month by the mysterious disappearance of Rev. J. H. Fitchett, pastor of the A. M. E. Church here, this town has settled down to normal again. A Wm. J. Burus detective, sent from Baltimore, was here three days last week. At the end of that time upon going home, the company had sent two banks of the Pocomoke river four miles near the town, he came to the conclusion that the pastor is alive and find the town for reasons that are plain apparent.

Hargis only goes home once or two times, getting in on at 10:39 p.m., m. train out at his home about eleven. The first train out in the morning makes him a half hour late for work, he said, so his wife is home a great deal of the time with her two boys about 2 and 10 years old. Came Home Early On January 18, due to the rain I was off duty early. I came home and saw all the lights in the room and turned on the lights on the first floor then went upstairs to the second floor, turned on the lights and saw no one. I came in and I asked him where his mother was. He said he did not know. It was around seven o'clock in the room upstairs and started to read a newspaper. On the side of a side room opened and in came my wife holding her side and saying she was ill. I was surpassed as we seldom use this room which contains only a few pictures. I went into the spare room and snapped on the light. Wife Blushes Hargis is about five feet four, and dark. His wife, Gertrude, is fair, and his wife is undoubtedly mixed parentage.

BLAME TEACHERS FOR ARMSTRONG PUPILS' STRIKE Said They Did To Aid Or Pre- Wilkinson Said They Did Nothing To Aid Or Prevent It HINES OF HOWARD GETS HOUSTON'S JOB No More Segregation Meetings To Be Held In Schools WASHINGTON, D. C. (AFRO Bureau)—School officials at the Armstrong Technical High School did not exercise that measure of discipline and performance in which is expected of persons in authority during the recent students' strike. That is the gist of the report of First District of the Garrison of Wilkinson on the recent strike of students at Armstrong Technical High School. The Board of Education authorized him to conduct an investigation of any teacher was directly or indirectly connected with the strike. His report was, in effect, that no teacher took any positive action to incite the strike; but on the other hand, teachers did nothing to incite it. Demands Action At the conclusion of the reading of the Wilkinson report at the meeting of the Board of Education Wednesday afternoon the Board of Education demanded that the board take some action. "I cannot conceive," he said, "of the sponsors of the Student Education and having been put there for that purpose, acting in the way which they did." The sponsors for the Students' Council on Charles M. Thomas and Miss Helen Crawford. Mr. Thomas did not know that Miss Crawford was serving as his assistant. Mr. Wilkinson told the Students' Council advice on the matters discussed up to the strike, he claimed. Crawford gave as her reason for not remaining in the meeting of the Students' Council on the morning of the strike, Mr. Wilkinson said. He said that Wilkinson declared ill health, and Mr. Thomas' excuse was that he had to go back to his section to supervise them for assembly. Wilkinson declared these were seasons whatever in his judgment. Ernest Greenwood, vice president of the Board of Education, declared that he was not in favor of making the two sponsors of the Students' Council "greater." Pressed for recommendation Mr. Wilkinson stated, that he did not thing Mr. Thomas and Miss Crawlhink Mr. Thomas and Miss Crawlhink should be appointed to serve any longer as sponsors. Miss Weaver Named Superintendent Frank W. Ballou criticised the officers in charge for permitting the strike to happen without permission to prevent it. "There has not been any leadership in the Armstrong Technical High School," he declared. He then said that he had taken over principal of the Armstrong Technical High School. "Her alibi," he said, "is that she expected the principal to act." H. Barrett Learned declared that there should be a father report exorcinating those teachers who could be. "I think it would be difficult," Dr. Ballou replied, "to exorcate any portion of the faculty and say responsibility fully." The report of Mr. Wilkinson was received with the understanding that he would later submit recommendations for action to be taken with indirectly responsible, as shown by the report, for the strike. Hines Appointed George W. Hines, associate professor in the school of liberal arts of the University of Texas, head the department of business practice in the Dunbar High School, succeeding G. David Houston, who was recently promoted to principal of the Armstrong Technical High School to succeed Captain Arthur C. Hines, to the rank of military instructor. Jim Crow Meeting Supt. Balloon submitted his report on the use of the Wilson Normal School for the purpose of holding meetings to secure a balance between the two parts of, Kenyon street between Eleventh and Fourteenth streets, northwest, to prevent its sale, or rental, to, or occupancy use by, colored persons. He also presented a presentation of the Board of Education at its previous meeting by Charles H. Houston, chairman of the executive committee of the Washington Bar Association. In his report Mr. Houston was aranged for by the principal of Hubbard School through the secretary of the Comptroller of the Normal School. I have no reason to believe that the principal of Hubbard School knew the purpose of the meeting any more than that a certain group of parents associated with the school would together for the purpose of discussing matters of interest to the school. The secretary of the community center at Wilson Normal was not intended of the purpose of the meeting. "I immediately after the first meeting, I reported at the meetings at the meeting were reported to this office. It was also a second meeting had been called. Halt Is Called "The secretary of the community center was informed that in accord with governing the community center meeting of this character could not be held under the auspices of this department. The citizens concerned and no further meetings were held. Through Edward F. Harris, the Southern Dairies offered to donate equipment to the team in the annual competitive high school drill of the schools in divisions 10 to 13. They also offered a large portion of gold, one of silver and one of the business gifts to the commanding officers. The cup would be known as the Colonel Dung Trophy. It would be a centennial rotating trophy, awarded each year to the winning cadet company to remain the winning company represented. This offer was referred by the Board of Education to the school it is likely that it will be accepted. Cail VErnon 6016 AFRO-AMERICAN Office, Isaac Bannan Tenner, Manager.

MORETYDINGS MORETYDINGS Continued From Page 1 stitution by Government funds can be justified; and there is no constitutional ground on which the federalizing of an institution for the benefit of a class of persons who are citizens of the United States and in no sense the peculiar wards of the Government can be defended. "If we have the right to appropriate to Howard University, we have an equal right to George Washington University. Howard is under a self-perpetuating board that does not report to the Government in any way nor to any other authority, it seems. The money given is an absolute gratuity simply handed to these trustees without any surrings." "A measure of this sort is not necessary for the cause of Negro education. The Negro year book, a rigorous and illicit and philanthropic organizations had up to that time contributed $83,500 to Negro education in the South. The Negroes themselves contributed $83,500 to Negro institutions in this country in 1915 had an endowment total of about $10,000,000. This has been very largely increased since 1919. The Negroes have announced offers to Negro education totaling about $8,000,000. Wilberforce University at Wilberforce, Ohio, reported in 1921 that 487 students from Tuskegee Institute in Alabama reported an income of $28,430, with about 1,800 students. These two institutions and others are Negro education can be supported and can flourish without illegal appropriation from the Federal Treasury and hurt nationalistic pampering of the great universities of the country are open for Negro as well as for white students. The Negro yearbook lists some 36 Negro students who have benefited Beta Kappa at these universities. "With all this accumulated wealth with the great progress the race has made in intelligence and regeneration, our university's own 6,112 students scattered throughout the country and the world, and with its 2,000 students annually, it is impossible to believe that it has added to our university contributions to Negro education as to any other one line of philanthropy in America. Witness the speedy success of the recent campaign to 100,000 for Tuskegee and Hampton. "We have shown from the Government and from two other single sources. Howard University has received in addition to its contribution in addition Continued on Galley 24 to all its normal income and many smaller contributions; one, for instance, from Mr. Carnegie, for $50,000; and an enthusiastic student body. "Howard has come thus far through the munificence of the Congress in illegally appropriating to a large extent the funds from the people for Government expenses. The time has now come not that the burden should be permanently fastened on the Government, but that the instant growth as a vicious paternalistic proposition but that the school should be given an opportunity to live and work of its own right, by its own strength, and in its own way." The Howard Welfare League, composed of alumni, parents of students, and citizens interested in the progress of education, is conducting vigorously against the present method-of using the funds and directing the affairs of the institution. They assert that with all the government aid and philanthropy, the still costs twice as much for a student to attend the institution as it costs in Tuskegee, and other great Negro colleges of the South. The Howard Welfare League is Arthur W. Mitchell, of 1232 U.S. street, northwest. "The League asserts" the report says, "that the university has degenerated into a political institution and Congress did better than a private no fund than to have those funds misused as has been done in the past." The money which this Congress appropriates is not our own it belongs to the people and is intrusted to us by the taxpayers for governmental purposes. The uses of the money are described by law. The maintenance of an institution like this does not come within a thousand leagues of the uses prescribed. Have we a right to use the money on the Congress an abuse which it has so long practiced illegally? IN MEMORIAM TASCO - In sad but loving remembrance of my dear daughter, HILDA L.

ROGERS WRITES OF HEARINGS ON ANTI HAMPTON BILL IN VIRGINIA LEGISLATION Both Sides Favor Segregation-Newport News Daily News Editor Murdered English Language. Hampton Institute Board Member Promises To Correct The Hampton "Trouble" Or Get Southerners Off The Board-Drunken Man Gets Confidential. By J. A. ROGERS RICHMOND, VA. - Those who have never been south of the Mason-Dixon line may think they know something about the real color condition that they don't. I say this after hearing the arguments on the so-called race integrity bill which case up against the state in the Virginia senate. So-called Negroes who have always lived in the North can have no idea what their Southern brethren in Virginia is highly compared with Mississippi. In those three hours I learned more about the psychology of the Southern white man than I learned about the black man. At a similar hearing in any Northern legislature, except perhaps, states like Indiana, the issue would be whether there should be segregated schools. The answer was taken as a prime necessity by both attackers and advocates of the bill. As I heard both sides vaunted the magic qualities supposed to inhere in the purity of Anglo-Saxon blood -God only knows what that is- objected to the more. If anything my sympathies were with the ad- vocates for they at least were frank while the attackers attempted to paca seemed alarmed over the Chinese and Japanese that one would have thought they were the citizens and Well, the Japanese have battle ships and the colored folk—Well. Hampton Institute The fight contested around Hampton Institute which seems to be a battle of opinion and sentiment notions of "white superiority". Luter when stirring editorialists from the Crists and the Norfolk Journal and Guide were blocked by the opposing editors who were "white solos were about to stampede by the little they had heard of them then I realized what the opposers had their head in the lions' mouth and were trying to ease it out. This is why I say that the Northern Negro doesn't know what the Southern Negro is, nor does white Northernness is an angel of reasonableness compared with the Southerner. Social Equality Hampton was accused of the "horrible practice of social equality." Delegate Massonburgs who led the effort with the fund and about the love for colored folk and that "Virginia will never enact any bill hostile to colored people, but that he couldn't see more colored people, be offered by aggregation laws." He painted a horrible picture of the conditions said to exist at Hampton and the fearful results that won him a seat in London. He painted a horrible condition being that citizens of different colors sat side by side at a theatre there. SOCIETY DR. A. M. GURTIS TO GO ABROAD DR. A. M.

RITES OF HE PTON BILL IN segregation-Newport Ampton Institute Boa le" Or Get Southerne NOT HEARINGS ON A BELL IN VIRGINIA L Newport News Daily News Ed ate Board Member Promise Southerners Off The Board- The next speaker was Col. S. S. Copeland, a tail, lanky, typical looking Southerner who talked in short jerks with his mouth almost closed. She placed him what brigade the Colonel commanded in the last war, or any war. *Murders English* The Colonel, who is publisher of the Newport News Daily News showed that he was a good Anglo-Saxon by the way he murdered the King's English, also vehemently protested how fond he was of colored folk. He was fond of her and fooled was telling how much they loved us that I had great difficulty in restraining myself from shedding a few crocodile tears. The colonel, who told the usual story about his black mummy and so on, said: "Niggers Is!" "The niggers in that institution is being taught that there ought not to selfishly and white people. If you wipe out the color line we are gone. There will be no power on earth to resist this. We are going to have serious trouble if you do not pass this womanhood against this horrible practice of social equality." Using the word "players" who sat at Hampton Institute as a horrible example the colonel raved. "There they were beautiful white women in the nude with nigger youths gazing at them and their womanhood seated next to the black. There are a certain amount of women who can not resist temptation and it is our duty to protect them by maintaining their manhood has always stood for." Attacks N. A. A. C. P. Journal And Guide John Powell, founder of the Anglo-Saxon school, speaking in favor of the bill began by praising "The Negroes of Virginia for not pressing against the color line." He bitterly criticized those who were responsible for the chorus of colored women which recently refused to sing in Washington, D. C., as well as one who attested to the need of waiting before a segregated audience. "I warn you, gentlemen," he said, "that Virginia which has maintained the color lino for three hundred years has been chosen for attack by the Norfolk Journal and Guide, one of the most powerful organs of opinion among Negroes is making this breaking down of the color lino a matter of principle. Nothing could be more incendiary than to oppose Unnatural Shades Of Color Rev.

The bill, he further said, threatened unwarranted reflection on the white race, the presumption being Virginia the white people must be restrained by law from promiscuous mingling and association with Negroes. The reverend gentleman seemed especially excelsive when he spoke of China, Japanes, and other colored aliens, not now affected by the present Jim Crow laws which he favors for Negroes, would be included in the bill. After Schools The bill, which requires "the separation of races" and public sessions at public halls, public assemblages, etc., "includes all non-white persons. This, he said, "includes the chapels at the school of theological Seminary and other like institutions. This is an application of race agitation with a vengeance. The churches are fighting hard to keep the Chinese students and gentlemen who come to attend to patronize public houses and buy tobacco in Jim crow cars. Pocket Book Nerve The reverend gentleman said a mouthful when he began to play on the piano. The nurses referred to might also find a shrinkage of income should foreign students be frightened away. But fancy making a law against a group of students would not apply to alliens. Such a thing could happen nowhere else but in America. Still later we might be called no longer to be loyal in a struggle with Japan. Bitterly opposed as I am to segregation for once I find myself in a city where the population probably increase the colored population in this state to the point where it far exceeded the white. Many of the most influential Virginians in this state were well as mixed Indians would be included. Personally, I fail to 'say how the bill could further humiliate me' because I have not understood the passage of the bill would affect the whites most as it might mean the closing of Ogden and the shows at about a quarter of the ordinary price. The Japanese But, as I said, I suppose the Jap- ans have a government and battleships, however, in the frantic effort to have the government ridiculed is the best proof that riding there WHITELAW HOTEL Guests registered at the Whitelaw Hotel are: E.

NU-HAIR TAR SALVE MINT COLOR WITH MINT DURATIME Mm Kivg PRICE 50 CENTS SATURDAY, February 27 ANTI LEGISLATION lector Murdered Eng es To Correct The Drunken Man Gets Members of the legislature, who at was said, got quite panicky what they heard DuBois' editorial as what Dr. Gregg should have answer ed, clamored for Dr. Gregg who was absent, and wanted to know whether three were any "100 per cent Vi glans" (white, of course) on the fac ulty at Hampton. Anti-Social Equality Preacher Rev. W. T. Johnson of the Free Baptist Church made a soothing diplomatic speech, saying that he loved the people of the city and guard your race as mine, for you guard your race as mine, for I have to tell of the cordial relationship that exist in our beloved state of Georgia to the Negro had seriously in the war. I posed legislation would bring discouragement, unnessiness, and discontent. He further denied that the city was only justice he asked. Things are either equal or unequal, and if the agro does not want to be unequal, wish social inequality? It is a common sight here to see a Negra chauffeur seated beside the wife or daughter of his white employer he is working with, or a car or theatre beside the long class person who happened to be white and that is construed as social equality. Dr. Gregg was deceived by a social equality, Copeland. I think because it is said that Dr. Gregg advocated colored men on juries. If of Americans, it is good or all at least for one person for social recognition that is for the individual to decide. Tg Correct Situation One of the trustees of Hampstead, whose name I did not recall, out last year, was Mr. Bentley. "One interesting fact is that we are all in favor of segregation . . . the situation is that we southern white we will get off the board. The students are taught not to mix with the white race but Northern teachers make it work." Confidential The gallery was full of white people, but the only colored ones present beside Dr. Johnson, were white. He was a professor of history, Bahmist lecturer, and meek. We two, had a rather interesting interest in perlence. A white man three years old sitting, he wazed quite condescending, and after telling us that he has served eight years in the legislature, he had with his mother's colored manslip. When I asked him whether he was in favor of segregation he replied no, because he said its sole purpose was to keep the Negro economically and sexually. Next week I will tell of my inter view with Messrs. Cox and Power and my impression of them. Prominent Pastor Dies COLUMBIA, S. C., Feb. (ANP)- The Rev. J. C.

Baltimore, Md. R. H. BOYD'S MEMORIAL BEGUN IN NASHVILLE Individuals, Churches, Sunday Schools And Young People's Societies Will Memorialize the Fallen Baptist Hero NASHVILLE, TENN. (Special.) —R. H. Boyd, founder and builder of the National Baptist Publishing Board Plant in Nashville, is to have a memorial erected in that city in honor of the work he accomplished for the three million five hundred thousand Baptists of the United States. This news was broadcast from here recently, after a meeting Board National Baptist Publishing Board formed in Nashville. The National Baptist Convention had designated the month of March. 1925 as "Memorial Month." A commission made up of some of the members of the National Baptist has already been announced and are headquartered here under the name of R. H. BOYD MEMORIAL JUSTICES, Sunday-school leaders, State presidents, association moderators, Sunday school superintendents and E. V. P. officials will be asked to attend the meeting to thank their appreciation for the services Dr. Boyd rendered by sending a free-will contribution to the "R. H. Boyd MEMORIAL JUSTICE," 323 Memorial Avenue, Nashville, Tenn. The Commission has sent out the following sketch on the Dally Nashville Banner and Dally Nashville Tennessee. Richard Henry Boyd was born a slave in the State of Mississippi on the plantation of one B. A. Gray in 1843, and was born about March 18, 1843, in a log cabin. He was christened by the white people as "Dick Gray," which name he bore until about 1867 or 1868. He was a slave to a man of accord, and taking the name of Richard Henry Boyd. His mother Indiana Dixon, was owned by a Mr. Brown, and the father of the present Gray family represented by the Rev. Dr. D. B. Gray, of the Home Mission Board of the Southern States, with headquarters in Atlanta, Ga. The family who owned the mother of Dr. Boyd left the State of Mississippi when he was six years old, going overland to Texas to help the family in the county of Washington, near the present site of Bremen, where they purchased a large plantation and where they lived until the Civil War. They were on the West Coast with the States came on Richard Henry Boyd whom the white people called "Dick" and who had been reared on the plantation, and in the quarters prepared for the slaves, had proven a person; when the male members of the family enlisted in the military service representing their cause. Dick Gray" went his own way, confiding with them throughout the war or rather until they were killed in battle, as they had participated in the engagement in and around the town. They were also the three sons as far as can be learned in these engagements, all were killed except the younger son he being wounded was taken back after the farm and farm products managed the entire estate and carried the cotton by ox team from Washington County, Texas to points in Mexico, making several of these engagements the funds which were derived from the sales back to the white people who owned him. This was done for two years during the war, and after the Emancipation Proclamation had been signed. At the death of the last male member of the family of white people who owned him, he remained until he was advised that his services no longer need the money he lay by the widow moved with the daughters. "Dick Boy" then went in as a Texas cowboy, which profession he followed traversing the plains of southwest Iowa he came back to the southeastern part of the State, and was engaged as a saw mill hand under a man by the name Chandler, in the Pine Grove where he was born. This until he professed religion about 1870 or 1871, after which he was called to the ministry, and the latter part of that year was ordained minister, he through the assistance of Rev. Snodgrass, a Southern white Baptist preacher, organized the first Negro Baptist association in Texas composed of about six hundred men in the ministry. He built churches at Waverly, Old Danville, Navasota, Crockett Palestine, San Antonio, Tex. He filled the position as Secretary of the Negro Baptist Convention of Texas, and was Superintendent of Missions in the State. During the time he was Superintendent of Missions, he conceived the Bounty Sunday schools, and for the year of 1894 and 1895 this literature was supplied from his once place at St. Louis, Missouri, and he went to the National Baptist Convention at St. Louis, Mo., and was elected Secretary of the United States to mission work among the Negroes of the United States. He afterwards organized what is now the Negroes Publishing Boards he enlisted in January, 1837, he had issued the first series of Negro Baptist Literature ever published in the United States. He had the friendship and cooperation of the late Dr. J. M. Frost of the Baptist Sunday School Convention, the late Dr. Gamble of Texas, the president of the Southern Baptist Convention; Dr. Kerton. Kerton was meticulously the outstanding leaders of the Southern Baptist Convention, and was held in high esteem not only by those but by the National Baptist Conference of the United States which he helped to organize in the city of Moorigan, Ala., when three National Baptist bodies and the National Missionary Convention the American Foreign Mission Convention and the Educational Convention amalgamated and became known as the National Baptist Con His work in this city, where he spent the latter part of his life, stands as a monument of his significance and his religious affiliations. He had no literary training as he was never privileged to attend public school, it was after 1863 before he was even taught his alphabet, but it was not until 1866 that he and the colored people termed it, "to read and write," so with the assistance of the white people to whom he belonged, and who had reared him, he was raised in a white family, using the old Webster's Blue Back Speller. MEMORIAL BEGUILD States to Honor the Baptist Publishing Becomes, Sunday Schools, Memorialize the Falle After he was ordained to the ministry, he then spent two years in what is known as Bishop College at Marshall, Texas, a school found- M. ed and operated by the Home Missionary Society of New York. Dr. Boyd was a factor in the education of many students, largely from his means to such schools as Bishop College at Marshall, Texas; Hearne Academy at Hearne, Texas (which school moved to Marshall, Texas); Hearne College at Seguin, Texas; Boyd's Normal and Industrial Institute, (which was named in his honor) at Oakwood Texas; Central Texas at Oakwood Texas; and University at Nashville, Tennessee. In Nashville located on the old Boscobel College site, for the training of Negro missionaries and minors, and educational causes not of his denomination. While from the National Baptist Publishing Boar's operation, he sent the hundred thousand dollars to the small mission Sunday schools in the establishment of mission stations and Sunday schools, with literature, giving as much in one year as forty thousand dollars. It was through Dr. Boyd's efforts that four Negro Baptist churches and one school were built in the city of Zion, the location of the construction of the Panama Canal, and one missionary with his wife stationed there in Ancon to carry on the mission. The school house were built outright by him and his board. The furniture for these buildings was made at Nashville and shipped to the Panama Canal. Anger of the South should cultivate the friendship and work in cooperation with the white man of the South, the neighbor and the people in his immediate community were his best friends. Here in Nashville he was known by the leading white men of the city, the church and his good citizenship. It will be difficult to enumerate all of the activities in which Dr. Boyd has been engaged in connection with the development of the Division fourteen denominational books that have all been adopted and used by the Negro Baptist churches and Sunday schools throughout the country. Dr. Boyd's Pastor's Guide for Baptist Preschools, his Church Directory and the Jubilee and Plantation Melody Songs Dr. Boyd was sent by the special representative to the Centennial at Philadelphia, Pa. in 1875. He was also also as a special representative to the World's Baptist Alliance, which met in London, England some years in 1885, among every country in Europe. He was elected a delegate to every national and international meeting held by the Baptists for the last time, and a member and on the Board of Directors of the International Sunday School Association. He was a memoirist, author, and denominational Publishers, a life member of the National Negro Business League. He was the father of Charles and John of "Children" and up until the outbreak of the World War, supplied thousands of the Negro children of the United States. He was the founder, the founder of the Sunday School Congress, a national movement of Sunday school workers conducted as a Summer School each THE PEERLESS ONE That morning, when with awe and apprise out of the sea, in clouded aprising out of the sea, in clouded Page Three imagesty, with a cloud of troubles flint hard trials, woes and tribulations, upon his back, a rough and strenuous stretch; all strenuous and strictest; all strenuous with thorns and boulder clouds instead of roses, his progress to impede, with no ray of light, his path to brighten, his charity, intermedied within his own sunny bosom;—I say when this I say, all in a dream, I bethought me straightly, Henry Good, on good pope slave, born neath an evil star on those, days of fire, climbing, toiling, struggling up the dark uncharned high, dripping savory to the beacon light of his high calling, with a heavy load of woes upon his back, a guilting yoke about his daintest neck, or his people upon his loving heart—I, my head hung in sorrow at the thought and sad compassion. Of his life that was the first sad epiphany, he took hold of the beacon, and straight beheld in the elements, a change taking place. Through the dark clouds that far above me rolled, which none save him, sun was breaking slowly, but surely piling upon every side, the humid clouds in many a faint of some of these keel plooping with ease old ocean's marble face, shooting an occasional word or thought beam across the barren bosom of the world, deep-settled, of some of these inspiration to cheer some poor wayfarer on his way, revealing now and then exhaustless spring of love, deep-settled, of some of these human effort he, bursting forth in all his glory, filled the earth with the warmth and radiance of his life magnetic, sweet and awful, his soul mingling with the grand meridian. The second epiphot of his perplexess life. Around then I turned, and in the gleaning west straight beheld the sun pale and weak, yet most beautiful in the last hepte struggle of life. All calm and serene was he sinking down behind the horizon of the Great Beyond, where mortal greets the sun with a smile, blends full into infinite, where time joins hands with all eternity, where sickness, sorrow, death rank strangers are, where peace, happiness, joy for all, where strength, most strenuous, after a life full well spent in service unselfish for his people and his God, a public servant, a sire most dear, a husband most loving and devoted, a Christian friend. The scene how grand! The setting how sublime! The life lived how beautiful! How noble! By nature how kind! Modest! Couragous! Courneuse! Unselfish! Generous! How faithful! Hopeful! Charitable!

A line of patrons overflowed from the Dumbar on Central avenue that reached almost to McElderry sweet a block back. Admission was almost impossible at clock. The three neighborhood houses of the uptown section, the Carey, Lafayette and the Roosevelt equaled East Baltimore, and the houses on thoroughfares in the same section in the number of paid admissions.

Writers Say That Wrong Idea Of Harlem Is Portrayed In Belasco Play VAMPIRE WITHOUT REDEEMING QUALITY Cast And Salaries Earned By Those In Play the reaction of "Lalu Belle" on our commentators seems to be divided, some feel that the movie might life may prove mischievous propaganda. Others dey the relegating of Evelyn Proer and other of our capable dramatic players to the right. Quit a number remark that the economic gain to the colored group transcends all other considerations, that it may also prove an entering wedge into something better. Lester Walton, of the "New York World" and of the "New York Times," said that touch the race onines. "Whether Mr. Belasco gives a realistic picture of what some critics refer to as 'Negro life in Harlem' does not concern me so much as what will be done to 'Lalu Belle.' Will it be to them a "rapidly in brown" as the play is characterized by Mr. Woolcott, or a perhaps in white that this dramatic moral so intimately prepared for consumption be mentally digested? Will it help to make white Americans understand colored Americans butter or make for a lamentable situation? Not True Picture "If most white people were not prone to generalization on matters directly affecting the Negro Lulu Belle would not be viewed as misgivings. But they are not, and I am not, on the play unwittingly refer to it as reflecting a true picture of Harlem life. They do not say as they should in the play, 'The Negro Lulu Belle.' One of the plays not guilty of committing this previous error was Burns Mantle of the Daily News, who said its first two nets are duplicates of Harlem's first nets. I am not certain, but I feel sure, it is as unfair to the everyday life of the colored citizenry as the operate 'Carrum' is untrue to the gregues and soldiers of Snugl." Harlemites No Night Owls Editorial Thought Editorially the "Public Journal; Philadelphia, says: "Much has been written about Lulu Bello. Belasco's latest dramatic triumph, colored with no haven's yet set, plays the play, and may most of them have commended it, assuming that because Belasco has worked addresses to do minor parts, that gives due recognition to colored talent. Call VErnon 6070 The Reviews THE Sousa And Band At Tuskegee Tuskegee Inst. Ala. (A: N. P.)—John Philip Sousa, the great March King, and his famous band of one hundred pieces, rendered a program in the Institute Chapel here Monday and captivated his audience of more than 2,600 students teachers and friends of the community.

Prior to the concert, Mr. Souas journeyed to the grave of Dr. Washington, the son of the late book of his personal regard for the Founder of Tuskegee Institute. NEW YORK NOTES NEW YORK—Colorado capitalists from five states have formed a company to erect a gigantic theatre in the city, which will be constructed along the modern European lines. Clarence Williams is mentioned as one of the leading actors in the city, and its funds are now in hand, and it is expected that actual erection will commence this summer. In various cities are said to be interested. Florence Mills is said to have been compelled to place herself in the city to work. Overwork is said to have been the cause of the star's present ill health. She is said to have worked without cessation the last 37 weeks out of "Dramatists from Jaezeleb to Camille and Sappho have depicted women of sordid character who lead men to desecration in fiction has always been in contrast to their vices, to reveal in the end some of the sins of it. If it does not counteract their lust and licentiousness, Even Jaezeleb does not approach Lulu Belle. She has a blemish phase of emotion and sordid character, but thru it all, there is not single voice taken to shield her lustful viciousness. She is Noble burdened in degradation. And we suspect in Lulu Belle, Belasco and the other women, that she would a true picture of the average colored siren who is devoid of every virtue and whose breath scorches everyone with whom she comes in. S. Tutt Whitney Thinks "It is notable, too, that far from any desire of Belasco to give recognition to colored talent, he has succeeded in beguiling our best actress to the credit of atmosphere of degradation from which the whites who see the play will form their opinion of the siren a worse conception than the white personality we think such artists as Evelyn Preer and Edward Thompson should not lend their great talents to the black woman. Miss Ullris and Mr. Hull in the principle roles, we are not inclined to be too hard on them. The colored public has had a golden opportunity to play the role of let them play to empty seats. Miss Preer's Salome was so tritically done as to elicit conniptions from the best critics in New York to let them play to a very poor house at the Dunbar. "Lulu Belle will be accepted by the dominant race as a fair sample of the colored woman in the world," therein lies its character. Therein lies its dancer. Unlike the "Birth of a Nation" and the "Klansman," we have no strong legal weapons with which to fight this most insidious, and no uncanny instance of Frican nonghagua. Blames Race Artists "We thank Mr. Belasco and the playwrights for having the courage to promote a mixed race production to encourage race inclusion and are giving our artists. I find no reason to criticize them for giving the white artists the most conspicuous role in the production. I would give my race artists the leading roles. The barrier of prejudice is gradually being lowered so that white artists are being included in white casts; let us not discourage the white promoters with our sonless critics."

The fondness of a small number of our actresses for white men was the topic discussed the other day by a former producer, who has placed shows on the great Broadway, and is a fan of the Nordic mashers who had a fondness for female colored society. The girls, foolish enough to accept this attention seem to feel that they are being singled out because of themselves alone, failing to see that the men are also dropping them. Business is business, and when these stupid women cross the line and remember the penalty exacted from their male relatives for the mere appearance of evil, as it construed in this democracy they should reflect.

Gaines Brothers Entertain Unfortunates The Gaines Brothers, acrobats on the Keith-Albee Circuit, received the following letter from Tim Burke, chairman of the entertainment committee of the Mutual Welfare League of the New York State Prison at Auburn, New York.

The "gallery god" who formerly reigned in the galleries of the theaters has been dethroned, and his successor now sits on the first floor to voice loudly his approval or disdain at the entertainment offered. The difference of location makes very little difference. The one difference is that when a property man comes in view of the show, the electrician "blacking out" (in every other appartment) is outgassing out the lights) nobody yells, "SUPE" as the boys of old did. The practice has faded like so many of the other traditions of the days that are: behind us.

To say that there is no opportunity to learn is not true of today, but may have been an excuse before the coming of the large theatre to which they succeed. A superficial knowledge is not necessary for those who are paid real money, but for those who are "or three" or any of the simple actors to be claimed to be the least of the actors know. The lack of knowledge does-not stop here unfortunately, for I have seen stage managers who have been in the audience only. I witnessed a struggle over the placing of an ordinary set house, that would have put to shame many amateur stage hands. Thanks heaven that the qualifications for a stage mechanie were Of the thoroughly intensive training received in the exacting schools of the past efficient men like Lew Henry, Sum Craig, and John McCarthy, the most successful younger men who like their three predecessors, have seen the advisability of learning all that could be obtained about the stage and its mechanics.

First National Pictures the Professionals ay—Routings HOTEL PAGE, EXPERT CHARLESTON DANGER Clever Toledo Lad of 15 Plans To Enter Vaudeville Even- STARTED LIFE AT A SOCIAL CENTER Was "Big Brother" Believed to be one of the foremost exponents of the Charleston in the country, Herschel Spencer, page at the Hotel Secor, Toledo, Ohio, is fast accustomed to section. The little fellow is an adept at executing any Charleston step ever invented, and his large circle of patron-boosters would add him to back up his calm. Let him see a step, and he does it, often better then the creator. On New Year's Eve he danced at the celebration, and in the language of the theatre, was a "wow." This was a great show, and he has filled countless dates at private parties given by the socially elect. The little page nurses secret ambition to some day seek fame and fortune and the facilities, and easily perfecting his dance routine with that end in view. He has recently formed a partnership with Wyatt Boswell another dancer of his age and the efforts of the team he leads in opening the day that they shall see "Spencer and Boswell" in the light outside of the county in duty at a hotel Spencer is the last word in business, giving no sign of his artistic prowess unless it be the graceful manner in which he handles the name of some wanted guest." Ward Of Maurice Mos Of peculiar interest to Beltzman-Reams is the fact that Spencer, now fifteen years of age went to the Fredo Tradesman when just a little fellow. It was evident that he was in need of a "big brother" to look out for him. R. Maurice Moss, now secondey of Fredo Tradesman, Urban League was then in charge of the Center, and assumed charge of Herschel, who came to be known as Mr. Moss' office boy and in charge of the "Moss" son. For three of the four years that the "big brother" remained in charge at Frederick Douglass he was guide and counsellor to the diminutive Charleston expert. Mr. Moss seems proud of his protege's accomplishment, and d from previous observation feels that the "little brother" will reach his goal.

CHAMPIONS College Lads Hand Southern Title Holders 34-18 Drubbing In Hampton HAMPTON BEWILDERED BY DAZZLING PASSES Uncork Perplexing Back Court Pass Game BY AFRO SPORTS EDITOR HAMPTON, VA.—Morgan College basketballers kept their season slate in mind by including the team's Scasaders a 24 to 18 rebound here Saturday afternoon before several thousand fans who attended the game from concession as their favorites took the count. Coach Wright's lads had packed away a 18-11 lead as the gun barked at the end of the first frame. In the final going the Bears uncorked a dazzling back court pass from the Scasaders from running in trying to keep up with the ball. This particular piece of spectacular play was a fitting climax to one of the greatest comedies played on the field at the gym. Smith Praises Beara At the end of the game Coach Gliden Smith shook Coach Wright's hand and said the Morganites presented one of the fastest plays he has been his pleasure in action. Humpton and visitors from the city backed the Seisaders to a man, but they never had a chance to do much cheering as the Bears jumped in the lead at the tap off and were never thwarted. Rescere Northrop, white, worked as hard as the diminutive Lambrecht, keeping the game fast and clean. His decision to throw the ball to the defense, like Battalion folk are towards "Duck" Gliden, they do not question his work. "Lanky" Draws Blood At the tose up, "Lanky" Jones grabbed a pass and stuck it in the net for the first dally. The Clark made a pass, when he inferred either from under the cords Payne drew a foul. Brown made the free toss for the first Hampton score. Working a building passing game, Payne made a pass. Morgan kept in the van by a safe margin during the entire half. Evidently Coch Smith gave his cohorts a severe talking to during the intermission as an audience. But the locals just could not solve the cross word puzzling passes of the Baltimoreers. Hill Scores At the sound of the whistle in the last go round Hill hooked a pass from Clark and said to him that he was rushed on the floor to relieve Hargrove. "Lanky" missed a couple of free toes when a foul was chalked against Hargrove. Alexander who had been sent to the field gave his followers renewed energy when he sent the leather in for a 20-13 count. This was short-lived as "ike" Young duplicated from the field. "Curtie" Brown, former Baltimore Scholastic and Athletic played, tallied for the first time from a well executed pass. From then on Morgan had everything its way. The team fought tight but the odds were too great. "Lanky" Jones did his stuff to the delight of the fans. His individual playing and handling the towers to their feet while the whole Hampton team was in a mad scramble trying to stave off defeat. In the last few minutes Wright got in a number of substitutes so all might have a band in the killing. Lambright Stars For the local quint, Lambricht, the little Hampton forward, was easily the star. What he locked in height was made up in speed and technique, and he played Brown, "Cuttle" Brown and olnies made up a cleve combine. Morgan presented a devastating machine that swept everything behind him, and he field goals and two tosses from the foul line led the scorers with 12 points each. Clark was second with three two shots. The guard combination of Young and Mack Payne was a tower on defense and offense. Sheffey, Thomas, and McIntyre who went in as substitutes held the Hamptonians to one goal. Brown, "Cuttle" Brown and olnies made up a cleve combine. Seminary Beats Shaw LYNCHEBURG, VA—Virginia defeated Shaw for a second time Monday when the Dragons downed the Tarheels here by a score of 28 to 23.

The last time these two met was in Fremont, Ohio. Newspaper men gave the decision to Flowers, but the judges gave it to Greb. The fans howled their disapproval at the verdict. The result went down in one of those 'raw decisions.' This was the first time in years that a colored man had a chance to fight for a world title. Unlike Dempsey, Greb is a fighting champion and does not draw the color line. He The last few weeks the Tiger has been training seriously. In previous fights Floowers has kept in condition by fighting two or three times each week. This is the first time he has been out of the ring for any length of time to train for a fight. GRER VIOLATES TRAINING RULES On the other hand Greb violates all the rules of boxing and friends says the only training he does is to get a haircut and shave. He does what he pleases, cats what he wants and keeps all sorts of hours. Quite often he remains up all night at a party when he is scheduled to fight them. Of course he can only keep this up for a certain length of time. No man can violate the laws of nature or common sense and keep in condition for any considerable period. He will be fined.

He says in a letter to the MIRROR this week: "We have a fine club this year from the names released recently. With the never die spirit, the boys will bring the pennant to Baltimore this year. Quite a few of the fans are prejudiced because the Sox are not made up of all Baltimore players and some even root against them. No league teams white or colored, have all home players. I am for the Sox win or lose, and if more of the fans will pull for the home team it will encourage the boys and we will see quite a change in the players. Charlie is one of the best we have ever had. He is straight and fast and sometimes I think he is too straight. On two occasions last year the Sox had hard teams to play on Sunday and were so far from home they got in and out of the game. We had a road trip and had to play a doubleheader the next day here.

A Brief Sketch of the Life Work of Captain George Brown George W. Brown, arrived in Baltimore in the year 1993, with about enough baggage to fill a cigar box, but enough determination to fill a barn. For two days, he walked the streets of the city hungry and countless trying to get a job. The third day he went to work, in a lumber yard and got $1.15 for his days work hauling coal in a wheel barrow. He paid one dollar for his lodgings and bought two loaves of bread with the rest of his wages, and thus started a career that was finally to make him the biggest man of our race in the excursion and steamboat-business. As an employee in the engineering department of the J. S. Faring company, he was sent with a crew of 5 white men in 1996 to New York to superintend the shipment of laundry machinery in Baltimore. Buying tickets he bought first, class a demonstrations for his white help and a jim-crowd for himself. The inter-state jim-crowd law had just been instituted. Taking his seat in the little Jim-crowd of the train along with a dog and numerous articles of other folks' baggage George Brown made a mind that he would provide some means of travel for his people where they would not be have to come when he was obliged to undergo. suffer the humiliation of third labor he had managed to save enough by the dint of third labor he had managed to save enough to one Hank's Baden for the charter privileges of the Steamer Dr. J. W. Newbill. This was in 1906. The Newbill bill had a capacity of about 200 passengers, following year he was left flat by Hanks and the Newbill was lost to him. The next year he cartered the Quinte steamer and paid $3200 for the use of it. In 1909 he bought this bont for $10,000, and in 1909 rebuilt it. In 1910 he lightened at a cost of $14,000 making the steamer carrying capacity. it a boat of 550 patrons in 112. Captain Brown had paid off all mortgages on his boat and bought a tract of 45 acres of beautiful land. THEAFROAMERICAN Local Pioneer Business Men Predict Commercial Growth Pioneer business men in Baltimore see the beginning of a tremendous growth in enterprise among colored people here. Optimism along this line was expressed this week by many men and women interviewed by the writer including such men as Harry O. Wilson, George A. Watty, Josiah Diggs, Dr. Jas. H. Hilburn, Roy S. Bond, Madam Poindexter and others. William H. Dodd, President of the Business Men's Exchange, whose organization has just purchased a new building to be used as headquarters for a more active movement to stimulate race enterprise, is also among those who see an upward trend in business. BALTIMORE, MD., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1926 $45,000,000 Wages But all agree that in the past the group has not taken full advantage of the business enterprises. An estimating business enterprises. An estimate based on reliable surveys of wages and working conditions gives the group here a yearly wage income of about $45,000,000. This tremendous sum is expended here for the necessities and luxuries of life while the pioneer business men here, looking buck over many years, frankly admit that the business growth has not kept pace with the population and educational increases, they see a trend towards a fundamental growth... The war boom has passed, they point out, and with it has gone the economic schemes. One outstanding business man puts it this way: "The future of Negro business will be built up in training, experience, fitness and fundamental honesty." Another who has seen many businesses blossom and fade here adds this cautious comment: "Men will get no business for the community as well for agriculture." But all agree that there are wonderful possibilities in the trading power of $45,000,000 each year. With her clothing and other manufactures, this city has the largest wage position in the city of its state in the United States. The hopeful situation is that wages here among the group is bound to increase and opportunities to get employment are bound to expand as the civic consciousness of the city Urban League The Baltimore - Urban League is planning to begin a campaign to secure wider industrial opportunities. More wages and more jobs will add materially to the possibility of bigger racial business. Practical Examples Vocational guidance experts in the public school system agree that many men can be looking forward to business careers. Possibilities along this line are being studied and pointed out to them. land on Rock Creek in Anne Arundel County for his grove. Some idea of the amount of money involved up to this time may be gained by the fact that Captain Brown had paid over $9879 in interest charges alone. Captain Brown suffered his first great loss when in 1914 the "Starlight" was burned to the waters edge as she lay at her dock in Rock Creek. The fire which was due to incendarism was only partly covered by insurance. Undaunted by this piece of ill-luck, however, Captain Brown immediately went to New York and then to Bridgeport Conn., and purchased a new boat and piloted her down the coast from New York to Baltimore, in one of the worst storms ever experienced on the Atlantic Seaboard. He immediately put about $10,000 of repairs on this boat and had it ready for the opening of his excursion season. Captain Brown was the first colored man to become a member of the Masters Mutes' and Pilot's Association, and the difficulties and prejudices he encountered in getting into the association form a tale almost painful to recount here. The situation today where is no one more respected in shipping circles the entire length and breadth of the bay that our own Captain Brown. Captain Brown estimates that he has carried over 3,000,000 passengers on his boats during his seasons and last year carried over 212,000 passengers to his grove. The present season promises to be a banner one in the history of the excursion business and already nearly 50 per cent of his dates are booked. Improve the grove and boat are rapidly being pushed out and when the season opens patrons will be given an opportunity of enjoying the best service in the history of this great playground. * For instance, it is estimated that the group here buys 125,000 pairs of shoes each year and pays for them around $400,000 each year. Between $40,000 and $50,000 of this money is profit to retailers. Although there are a number of grocery stores, only a small per cent of the retail profit is left within the race. The possibilities here are vast, as asp romising, there were born in the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s. Young business men are now being taught what such a thing means in trade opportunities. When 2,924 colored people do there must be 2,934 coffins. This in itself would form the basis for a coffin factory to the wide awake young man who could organize the undertakers. While the vocational guidance department does not make any effort to direct young men and women into any vocation it seeks to help them discover the possibilities when they have selected their calling. Another incentive suggested by some of the experienced business men is the apprenticeship idea. Cooperative Trade The first step in the development of a bigger race business there will come through cooperative trade, many believe. Druggists; for instance, have organized to buy certain commodities in large lots and this might easily be done by undertakers and other commercial cooperative grocery stores where customers might share in the profits would be an incentive to building up this branch of the trade. Underlying the whole problem, however, all admit that the question of building up enterprises must be considered in connection with the general business. Promoters point out that the fact that most of the large enterprises' bar employees except in the more mental places, makes it necessary that the group itself subsidize and develop enterprises to give employment. It has been shown that it would be has been an advantage to the group to pay a few cents more for an article if by doing so you give young men employment and increase the wealth of the group.

A little more than 23 years ago Harry M. Wilson then with his wife and no experience in the field of business, but with a wealth of mother-wid and determination started the Mutual Benefit Society in the rear of the understaking establishment of Lyle, 102 E. M. Methurry street. A year later he moved to 712 S. Shore Street and took up positions in the rear of Dr. Corkers office. In 1906 the business grew to such an extent that it became necessary to tear down two houses at the corner of Fayette and Pearl and locate where Mr. Wilson opened the first modern insurance office in Baltimore colored people at Baltimore equipped with its own printing plant. Thirteen years later, Mr. Wilson ever on the alert for opportunities to enlist business facades purchased the properties at 407-9-11-13 and 413-15-17-19 Jasper street, which he converted into insurance and banking offices, with modern apartments, second and third floors, warehouse and private rooms in the rear. ty has grown now it has 41,246 members and employs over 125 solicitors, collectors and inspectors, stenographers, bookkeepers and managers. He has paid the huge sum of $2,500,000 in sick and death claims, and now averages over $200,000 per year paid out for these purposes. In 1914 Mr. Wilson formed the Helping Hand Building and Loan Association which is now the largest Association among the race in existence and has never missed a dividend payment in its years of existence. Rev. Thomas H. Lee, who "grew up" with Mr. Wilson from the beginning of his business career is the oldest employee having seen 22 years of service. Through his bank and building Association, Mr. Wilson has been instrumental in financing some of the largest building projects in Baltimore where they are the Musher sample at McCulloh and Mosher streets; the Elks Hall on Hoffman street near Drudk Hall avenue; Fulth Baptist Church, Bethany Baptist Church Shiloh Baptist Church, George street; Psalman Baptist Church, Riggs street; Psalman Baptist Church, Riggs street; Horen Baptist Church, Fountain Baptist Church.

PARKER ABOUT twenty-five years ago Charles T. Parker, with $34.00 in his pocket and a determination to become one of the biggest contractors in Baltimore came to an auction sale horses in Baltimore and bought a crippled horse for $19.00 and a cart for $15.00. Parker had built his team to work for them, and by these application to his purpose he was the owner of four teams when the great fire broke out in Baltimore, 1904. By the time automobiles came into general use Mr. Parker had increased his teams to 30 in number and was making rapid strides toward the goal. A newly acquired Mack Bulldog 5-ton Truck, five or six other 5-ton trucks and five or six more trucks ranging in size from one to three tons now comprise the big fleet of vehicles operated by Mr. Parker, who says he is kept busy every day in the year on some of the biggest contracts in the city. Mr. Parker has not only built a large contracting business but has safely Invested in real estate and with his knowledge of contracting has built with his own hands a number of homes in Mt. Winnipeg in which 20 or 30 families are comfortably housed. Mr. Parker is well known in fraternal circles and as the father of four children as an example of thrift and foresightedness that well might be emulated by the present generation.

HEMSLEY 50 Years ago, February, 1876, after serving his time as appointee to the Mason Undertaker of his day, Alexander Hemsley started business in a modest little house at 116 Orchard street. Through extension to business, promptness and courtesy, soon outgrew the small building and located at 678 West Biddle Street, St. Louis Hill Avenues, and became one of the beat known Funeral Directors and Undertakers in the city. At a ripe age Mr. Hemsley died on March 14, 1813, coincided with the Samuel T. Hemsley, who in a short time remodeled the building into a modern Undertaking Establishment. By personal direction a pleasing personality and square dealing became the largest South of the Mason and Dixon line.

Born in the state of Texas, Oct. 31st, 1889. Graduated from the Colored High School of Waxahachie, Texas when 15 years of age, from the college preparatory department of Samuel Huston College at Austin, Texas and when 19 years old had finished Lincoln College with a degree specializing in science. Latin Salutatorian Class of 1909 Lincoln University, Winner of the Bradley Medal in Natural Sciences, received special honor in Science, Bible, Romance Languages, Greek and Philosophy. Finished professional course at the University of Michigan class of 1912, completing the course in three quinquennial terms and ended three years to the Dept. of Medicine, taking the two along with his pharmacy course. Because of illness of his grandmother was forced to go to Texas at the beginning of his senior year as a Medical student and at the time of her death and settlement of her estate too soon, she and others got to go with his class. Having married Bessie O. Diggs, some years previous to this, he decided to come to Baltimore, and the daughter of Josiah and Ida. Diggs remain until school opened in the next fall. Corner where his present drug store is located was owned at that time by Paul A. Diggs Shortly after his arrival, Dr. Diggs wa in need of a Registered Pharmacist and sought the services of Dr. Hilburn in this connection. Shortly after his arrival, Dr. Hilburn purchased his interest and opened for himself March 3rd, 1916. Since that time he has successfully operated this store, and has filled to date over $3,000 prescriptions. The corner at Drud Hill avenue and Pressman street, was been used for the other stores and the Drug store has been improved until it now ranks with the best in the city. It carries a full line of Drugs and Sundries and is equipped to take care of the races prescribed to the public. Michiganansian, a year book gotten out by the students of the University of Michigan had this to say of the 1912 pharmacy class: "The Class as a whole is noted for its high brows, but when it becomes the third grade, the honor roses to Hilburn, whose record has been one lighting light throughout the entire course. Dr. Hilburn, is a member of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, ex-general vice-president of the same, now member of the Executive Coun cil.

Maurice Moss, this week. "Since the opening of the Baltimore League, the team has been housed in the Y. M. C. A." Mr. Moss told a reporter for the AFRO-AMERICAN. "We have remained there for over a year in spite of the fact that, at the beginning, our occupancy of the building was temporary. Our moving at this time is not due to any dissatisfaction with the present arrangement but is in line with our original intention which the affiliation of the League with the Comunity Fund has now made possible." The new home of the League will be at the corner of McMechen and Division streets in the building which is now being remodeled. The League will move as soon as alterations It is interesting to note that this building is a part of the old Victory Hospital building which the Urban League made an unsuccessful last minute effort to save for hospital purposes for colored people. The Urban Memorial trustees and will be converted into living quarters for colored tenants. The nurses homes have, already been reconverted.

The primitive Africans who discovered iron and first taught the world how to domesticate animals. They were the pioneers of civilization. This issue of the AFRO-AMERICAN is dedicated to the pioneer business men of Baltimore. These are they who marched in advance clearing the way of obstacles so that the present generation might move forward with greater ease and facility. Not all will be mentioned here, for some who blazed the trail in business knew nothing of the art of handing it down from one generation to another by means of partnership and incorporation. Modern business men have learned this lesson and today there are fewer one man businesses which fall apart when the leader dies. When business men of the future point with pride to successful achievement, they must look back to the business men of today who laid the foundation. These men build Baltimore business with industry, thrift, honest dealing cheerfulness and foresight: If they succeed, we succeed. If they fail, we fail. They are the pioneers.

The Association having no home of its own for the children, experiences great difficulty in finding boarding homes the conditions and environment of which meets the standard of the association. Conditions Required To adopt or board a child of the society a home must be one in which the mother is not employed from home; one in which enough to separate adults and children and the sexes. In the case of more than one boy or girl not more must sleep in a room than can get individually 400 cubic feet of Adoption Conditions for adopting a child are intended for the best interest of both the child and the family. The orphaned child is placed on the home on a year's trial under the immediate supervision of the society, the year, the family, and society as satisfied, the child is legally adopted. Many cases of adoption occur in the free home, homes in which the family are taken for their companionship.

Florida Governor Lauded For Interest In Negro Education Land boom in Florida has made at least a dozen men millionaires, according to J. R. E. Lee, former New York Urban League secretary who was a visi- tor of Baltimore. Mr. Mr. Lee, who is president of the Agricultural and Mechanical College, and Mr. Washington this week attending the meeting of the superintendents and administrators of the National Educational Association which brought him to Washington, said Mr. Lee said that beside the 12 millionaires which he knew of, some men are worth from $25,000 to $25,000 each, one man especially who had bought an island on the coast for $500 and sold it recently for $55,000, bought a piece of real estate for $300 on the installment plan and sold it recently for $55,000, was highly praised by Mr. Lee. Through the governor's efforts, he said, the school received last year a state appropriation of $550,000, the largest given a colored school in that state. The appropriation was used to erect a $15,000 administration building of $50,000 dormitory, $25,000 water plant and a $25,000 sewerage system. Members of the faculty, he said, are graduates of the best schools in the state and some of the schools in the school pays $75,000 a year. Buy at MIZPAH N. J. 1232 Penna. Avenue Balto., Md.

"I surely had a good laugh at Billy the other day, remarked of the fact that he had a lot of candy and kept urging his Aunt Helen to take some. Finally I inquired why he was especially interested in Aunt Helen and why he didn't coax the candy to take some of the candy to ulcerate it to Aunty. "Well, you see, Muvur.

Lately, I've noticed it in so many little Then she went on to tell me how generous Billy had been as a little felt inward, "Really," she said, "I used to have to guard him or he'd give away he all he had. He divided his pennies, meant for his bank, among all the people he knew. He was generous about sharing his toys, candy and everything!" Our minds play us odd tricks of mind, "We're going to institute a change," Billy's mother told me laughing, but very much in earnest, "the new person who says, 'No thank you, Billy' is going to get into a picture dislissed before me of that trouble with me!"

"That was what he had said. And, there hung the secret of his life. And, there was a really leaving, giving child, gradually he had been made selfish. Oh no. he was not Aunt Helen alone who had been guiltily made a secret, his granddaddy, all his uncles, aunts and older cousins. He was the only child among many relatives, and they all dotted on him. Instead of accepting their advice, he told them they should, they usually said, "No thank you, dear, you keep it." No seven words could be more deadly to the generous impulses of an only child. I told my friend of the trials I had passed through with my little daughter. She, like Billy was not a little girl. She had been determined that she should remain so. Often I had heard it said, "An only child always grows up to be selfish." "Betty shall not be so." I had decided. So Billy she offered should be accepted. Not only did I practice this myself but her father did likewise. and I similarly instructed her relatives. When she offered should be accepted. "Let's try to keep her unselfish." When they seemed about to fail, as they did at times, I silently sighed. Betty, as a result of this practice, "We're going to institute a change," Billy's mother told me later, laughing, but very much in earnest, "the next person who says, 'No, thank you, Billy' and 'we're going to get into trouble with me'."

They are classified in various ways, the Oratory of Defiance, of Deference, of Indifference, of Indication does not destroy the chronological sequence. They give a very moving picture of the sufferings of the Negroes for over a century in the Some of Frederick Doughas' best speeches are here, and many of his speeches are backed by Washington, William Pickens, and many others. While Mr. Woodson makes his speeches in a large room, he includes all the extant speeches of consequence. He certainly has a broad, very representative collection. Geographical notes, too, are of interest. This volume will be valuable for the sprouting orators who want material on which to try their powers. But, suspect he has been in which their orations will appear. For oratory is becoming a lost art. Not only does the printed page supercode it, but the radio makes dramatic speech no longer possible.

A handful of clothespins, or a silver teaspoon or tincup, will please just as much as an expensive doll or other toy. It is a good place in a box or basket in which to keep empty spoils and other household objects with which the baby may play. a wise mother will to obey; not how command "because" it; but to obey it please do the task. Harsh treatment has no place in bringing of the bath inclinations lead him MORAL TRAINING: A little child does not know right from wrong until he is taught by older persons. He learns by touching his little hands and feet do mischief, not knowing that he is doing anything which will cause others or himself to come to grief. For this reason, older persons must be ready to guide the baby and teach the right method of behavior. But that does not mean that he should be forbidden continually to do this or that or the other. A man should be forbidden to fancy, the opportunity of choosing to do things himself. If he is not allowed -to do this, he won't-know how to reason and choose for him when he grows older and is obliged to do it. On the other hand, it is necessary for a child, to learn obedience, and Why Pretty Conducted By MME R. CREDITT-OLE It is said, one time Agamemnon, in a holy wry raised his sword to kill Helen of Troy. When this beast creature, known as the soldier, lifted her face to his, and smiled, the man's sword clattered to the ground. The smile had saved her life. A smile and silence are among the most powerful charms in the world, and the man's smile, or challenges, or rejects or reassures. So few words would be bequeed if people only understood the charm and its significance of the smile. We assert that the beam of the eye and the man's smile are trims of facial expression. The smile can extend further than around the mouth; for who has not frequently seen the eyes smile. However, whatever you do, keep you still up with a smile, and it will win where the perfect moulded features and bleemish skin, uncompanied with this charm could never win. There are smiling lines that detract from your face or character. Very often there is a slight discoloration around the mouth. Always cleans the mouth after eating, preferring a dampened dress with warm water. Then, until all discoloration disappear, use a lemon bleaching cream, or a skin whitener, on these dark places. Do this four or five times a week. After you have a few moments, after the bleach has been used. Wipe it off well, then apply your powder; in a very short time you will be rid of the annoyance. After that, the valley that runs from under the nose to the upper lip, get busy in getting this effect. It adds to the curves of the mouth for making Cupid's bow. With the thumb and first finger, bring together the curves of the upper lip gently. This done regularly and continuously will get for you a Cupid's bow that figures so strongly in the Bridal Beauty. Beading adds sweetness to the expression of the mouth. If your mouth keeps its sweetness, sense of humor and generosity, womenswear adds sweetness to the fearful age of forty, with love. Of course, I speak of the closed mouth first; but when we open it, we must go further than its curved lines to reach the inside. When we smile there is revealed the teeth, that should be pearly white, though we are unfortunate in not having perfectly regular teeth. There is no excuse to offer for carelessness to the mouth, and the modifying molecule essential to good health to have them cared for, and good form and elegance to avoid a quantity of gold exposed in the mouth. Dentistry has so imputed the mouth to be repaired in such a way that they take on a most natural look.

Harsh treatment or punishment has no place in the proper upbringing of the baby. If a baby is in an unfriendly direction, someone must be at hand to guide him into another and better one and to turn his eager intercourse into a more serious thing that will annoy but not harm him! This is the golden rule for the training of babies and one which applies to the training of children of all ages. Usually there is some reason for the naughtiness of babies. The babies who are funny, restless and fretful are usually even uncomfortable. Babies have not been fed properly and taken care of, are sick or riling, or have been indulged too much. On the other hand, babies who are properly, to keep clean and have plenty of sleep and fresh air, and who have been trained in regular habits of life have no cause for "bad" and therefore are "good." Dorathla.—Equal parts of honey and lemon juice is a fine thing for thick lips. Place your forefinger of each hand in the corners of your mouth with the mixture, gently massage toward the center of the mouth with a firm but gentle touch five or six times nightly. Next place the forefinger directly to the center of the mouth and press downward, holding the under lip very turn-to the teeth. When you are in repose see to it that you do not protrude your lips. In excessive thickness I recommend that you have a plastic surgeon operate. To bob or not to bob? Is bobbing on the wane? These are the eternal questions. Ida.—There is an indefinite time for the going out of the bob. We are certain that fifty per cent of the women will wear bobbed hair always; because it is sanitary; because it is easy to arrange; because in most instances women looks better about the head than she ever did before; there is a bob for every type, and more coming.

HALTS TRIAL UNTIL IURY'S MIXED Right of Colored People To Sit On Grand And Petit Juries Involved JURY COMMISSIONERS MADE A CONFESSION KEYSTONE, W. VA.—Trial of W. J. Harrison charged with a minor criminal offense has been halted until new indictments can be drawn against him and a mixed jury secured. When the case against Harrison was called his attorney, J. M. Ellis filed a plea in abatement and moved to quash the indictment on the ground that the defendant was colored and colored people were excluded from all Fayette County juries on account of their race. Ellis produced H. A. Gentry, white Republican jury commissioner, for the past four years to confess that commissioners had agreed not to put any names of colored men on the jury panel because of their race. D. W. Turner, also white, testified that he knew nearly all of the colored people in the county and none of them had ever been called a juror. A. B. Abbott, another commissioner, said he knew many colored people in the county and he believed them just as good as the white, but that he had never thought Ellis cited many authorities from the Supreme Court of the United States and from the State of West Virginia to wipe out any motion of the state, whether through its legislature, then its court, through its executive or administrative officers, all persons who are responsible for the race, safety, because of their race or color, from serving as grand or petit jurors, in a criminal prosecution of a person of the African American race, to him contrary to the fourth amendment to the Constitution of the United States, Straucher vs. West Virginia, John Dehn, Kentucky Rodgers vs. Alabama, State vs. Cook, State vs. Young. The court granted the plea and for the first time colored people of the state have been called for jury service. . . . QUARTET AT MT. ZION "The Quarterly special feature at the League services of Mt.

Maurice Moss Makes Plea For Wider Opportunities Before University Group FIXED STATUS AND LAW WAGES DECRIED Still Understanding To Limit Work Of Race Says Urban League Speaker A plea for greater industrial opportunity for the Negro was voiced by R. Maurice Moss in speaking before the plenis in labor problems at the Johns Hop- pkins College last week. Mr. Moss cited figures showing that the Negro in Baltimore is gradually filtering into the skilled and semi-skilled trades with a consequent reduction in the number employed in the domestic service occupations. But there is still a tendency, about an understanding, to keep the Negro, no matter how efficient, in certain fixed areas and in the lower paid occupations," declared Mr. Moss. "In governmental agencies, the most significant advance has been made in the post office where scores of Negroes are today employed but ever here, except in the service industry where jobs have no chance to rise above a rather fixed level. This takes from the Negro worker the incentive for application and increased efficiency which the white worker has. Several of the members of the class are employers of labor, one of them being an official of the B. and O. railroad. In the discussion which followed Mr. Moss' talk the general condition of the Negro in the city was This week Mr. Moss again returned to the University to talk to a sociology class about books of presenting sociological data, using the findings of the Lung Block survey as examples. Dr. Broadus Mitchell, president of the University, was responsible for both classes and was responsible for the invitation to Mr. Moss.

WASHINGTON WANTED SLAVE SCHOOLS From the Speech of President Coolidge Before the National Education Association February 22 His desire for the increase of knowledge was further elaborated and reiterated in his will. In that instrument he even provided for educating the slave children of the slave states. Enry, malice, uncharitability, class jealousies, race prejudices and international enemies are not realities. They do not abide. They are on their own. They are of unnamed comprehensions. Those who preach them are not safe advisers and not sound leaders. Nothing but discord and cause at home and discord and cause at work from following these politeities. Washington was the antithesis of all this. His writings and teachings breathe a, higher, more powerful leadership. No man clung more tenaciously to what he believed was right, or was prepared to make greater sacrifices in his life. He was right as a universal principle, to be applied, not only to himself, but to others; not only to his own state, but to the nation, not only to his own countrymen but to foreigners, about him of the small American.

Judge—Madden, out of work, your house. Judge—I was employed by the Ditch, Gowers and Taylor company, but, was laid off. Mrs. Madden—Yes, your honor, that we were in October and he hasn't struck a lick since. Madden—That's right, your honor, but I have my eye on a good job, but I have no money.

Before our eyes she fainted, growing ever younger day; Doing all we could to save her Until God took her away. It was on a Friday evening, I shall never forget the day; Wondering what happened, And took our dear mother away. But sad and sudden was the call. Your sadden death surprised us all. Often we wander to the grave yard and sit beside her grave; That we think we hear her saying: "Were not dear children, we shall meet again." BY HER LOVING DAUGHTER, INEZ BOONE. HENDERSON - In loving remembrance of my dear grandmother, MARTHA, who died February 15, 1825. One year has passed; my heart's still as time flies on I miss you more. In sleep I lie in peace to rest; The parting was painful but God knew best. By her devoted grandmother and great granddaughter, PAULINE AND AGGIE HENDERSON. KENNER—In sad but loving remembrance of my dear husband, EDWARD HENKY KENNER, who departed this life two years ago, February 24, 1924. Rest in peace, dear husband, mine, You are gone, but not forgotten, As we think of you each day. O. God, Thou alone doth know, The cost of having lived and loved and It was on Sunday morning. We shall never forget that day, When the silent reaper Came and took my dear husband away. The one we loved has gone to rest, His fond true heart is still; The sand that always heaped us dead in gold chill. And we trust that you are happy. In your heavenly home above, Where all is joyous pleasure And everlasting love. YOU HAVE JUVENILE AND DUCHER, BESSIE AND THELMA KENNER. RICHARDSON—In sad but loving remembrance of my dear wife and mother, FLORIENCE LEE, who departed this life nine years ago, February 28, 1917. It was on a Wednesday evening, I shall never forget the day, The teacher should gift, And took my dear wife away. Upright and faithful in all her ways, A wonderful character to the end of her days; Loving wife, true and kind, What a beautiful memory she left behind. Keep my mother, Jesus in thy keeping Till read, shine, shine, Master, I must have her And love her as I did before. DEVOTED HUSBAND AND DAUGHTER, LILLIAN BROOKS, FRANK RICHARDSON. REID—In sad but loving memory of my precious mother, EANNIE E. REID, who departed life three years ago, February 21, 1923. MOTHER No trembling sad farewell From her quivering lips was heard. So she left the quiet stream Was not a ripple stirred. So low was her Master's call And was full of joys not fears. Sad are the hearts of her children, Yet brave as she shd have them be; Consoled she shd have the meeting at the shore of eternity. BY HER CHILDREN, MRS. BLANCH STEPHIENS, MRS. RUTH DRUM- MOND, MESSRS, CLARENCE AND CHARLES REID. TILGHMAN-Tribute of love to the memory of our dear mother, GOGOR WHO was called from earth to reward one year ago, February 21, 1925. You have gone, but not forgotten. As we think of you each day. It was a Saturday evening. When the angel angel came and took you away. Your little lamp still burns in*memory* And your hat by the fireside hangs; Many a silent tear we shed, Flowered we cry, Of God. Thou alone doth know the cost of having loved and loved and lost. And we trust that you are happy In your Heavenly home above; With all its joys and pleasures And everlasting love BY HIS CHILDREN. WATKINS - In loving remembrance of our dear mother, MARY WATKINS, who died five years ago.

Announcements in the official Garvey paper, the Negro World, state that the organization is not disintegrating, but that it is working to abolish measures which they think are for the best interest of the body. These division leaders who are backing the Detroit meeting are Tom Woolard, W. Ware, Germant; Samuel Haynes, Pittsburgh; and Joseph Craig, Detroit. They have the backing of Marcus Garvey himself. The committee which met recently in New York secured the resignation of all the present officers except the second vice president, William L.

He hold the department that fake judgments are being allowed to pile up against the organization and that a wholesale effort was being made to invest the $150,000 invested in the steamship Goethals and $100,000 in New York real estate. He asked the department to assign a special man to aid in uncovering the conspiracy to steal the assets referred to above. He was informed that the facts he submitted did not warrant the government in reopening his case or permitting him to leave the prison. OWL'S NEST TEA ROOM McMechen & McCulloh Sts.

Of the dives are located in familiar stores. One of these is operated by O'Toole at 2552 Indiana avenue. Policemen go there rather than to headquarters for instructions O'Toole has had. a police call box installed in from outside of the Now Indiana theatre near 43rd street. The biggest club in town, perhaps, is the Pershing Club, occupying the Indian theatre near 43rd street. It is one of the biggest gambling joints south of the 1st ward and is operated by a syndicate headed by the Maloy, business agent of the Motion Picture Operators' union. This place has done such a tremendous business in nearly every kind of game—those, faro poker, backgammon, and more—ago the Third Ward Democratic club was forced to vacate its headquarters in order that the overflow of fans and sons can be found there any evening, and the take-down for the house is said to average $75,000 monthly. A board of staff stationed outside to handle traffic jams, directed the investigator to the second floor. According to investigation made by the papers, all the oldtimers in the 35th street district are to be found at their usual places, while several new comers are to be found at the 35th street Jackson, battle-scored boss and collector of bygone days continues to operate his sky-limit poker game at his Dunbarton Club social in the 2400 Two new places at East 85th and Indiana avenue were enjoying as good play as any at 11:30 o'clock could be ascertained.

MORE STREET 0111-0112 TEARS MIX WITH SMILES IN THE POLICE COURT Northwestern Station PERVERSION FIGURES IN UNUSUAL CASE Unexplainable Act Of Youth Sends Him To "Cut" For Three Months "Everybody clear the court room," yelled the officer in the Northwestern police station Sunday morning as Magistrate Johansen took his place behind the desk. Reporters and old timers knew this signal and pricked up their cars for they realized that something unusual was to take place. They were in this tribunal of justice that would shock the most initiated, but when they clear the room of all witnesses and visitors there is always an unusual case. Charles Powell, $13 Linden avenue was brought in before the Magistrate, and almost simultaneously a group of young white women filed "You are charged with indecent exposure," says the Magistrate to Powell, and the arresting officer tells the detainee the young women, who are identified as body Art School, testify insistently. You listen and know that something has cracked in the brain and sexual complexes of this youth to act. His eyes and demeanor all tell you he is abnormal, a pervert. The sigs of some father or mother have come down and disturbed nature's natural course. For exposing him to the realities of the group of young women he did not know or hoped to know, he was given a three months' sentence. The records showed that on two formulas he was convicted of similar offenses. Front Door Man The next case brought before Hi- Honor, Mr. and Mrs. Boyer Hayden 321 W. Biddle street. Testimony revealed that Hayden worked out a plan to help Hayden to advantage of this fact to invite another gentleman friend around. Some one saw him arrive and told the news to Hayden who left his home to attend the pair. Hayden told the Magistrate that when he slipped in over the back fence and peeped into the key hole he saw his midnight rival behind him. Hayden began to administer corporal punishment his wife called in the officers. Mrs. Elizabeth Hayden, the wife, was given admonition and her hus- ness was given charge of the charge of assault against her. Sausage Specified A good hearty laugh came from the next case. William Myers, 643 Biddle street, ordered real country sausage at a lunch room at $31 Pennsylvania, and he linked sausage. But Myers knew the kind of sausage he wanted and did a Charlie Chaplin with the links by pasting them against the waiter's face. Myers, came from down south and sausage. He accepted in good humor a fine of five dollars and costs. Drunks A Plenty Then came the usual Sunday morning procession of drunks. There were drunks of all kinds from James Groomes, 618 Vincent street, who had to be rushed to the hospital, whom the fiery stuff had knocked out on the public streets. In this list were Samuel Crest, 913 Morris street; Harry Valentine, 194 Stockton and Page Turner, Dogwood Road. "Bring in Homer Jones, next," said the officer. Homer Jones, 1018 Morris Street and Page Turner, Dogwood Road. "Bring in Homer Jones, next," said the officer. Homer Jones, 1018 Morris Street and Page Turner, Dogwood Road. One small goshawk and one large one is the exhibit. Jones admits snatching them from a store on Laurens street. Why he did not snatch them, the same size could be learned, but he is given a fine and a warning. Innocent Children The next case called brings a serious look over ull. Mr. and Mrs. William Bush, 1917 Brunt street, and two children are brought up. The mother is just recovering from a drunk and the father expiring with a broken arm. They were brought in when Mrs. Bush caused a disturbance while intoxicated. The children look sad on as their father testifies against the mother. They are released after paying $200 costs. The result the morning session the Magistrate assessed more than $200 in fines. Peacemaker Gets A Fractured Skull By attempting to prevent Miss Bessie Cornish, 19, South Dallas street, from shooting her brother Thomas Cornish, John Jackson, 1106 Thompson Street, was struck over the head with the butt of a revolver and received a slight fracture of the skull, Sunday. According to testimony brought out at th' hearing in the North-eastern Monday morning, all three were engaged in a drinking party when the brother is said to have knocked the woman over a chair while playing. She became angry and took a revolver from a dresser and attempted to shoot him. Cornish held her while Jackson made his escape through an upper window but was seriously hurt in the struggle. All three were fined $10 and costs each on charges of disturbing the peace. BRIDGES—sold or Sanitary—The painting work done by graduate dentist who specialize in BRIDGE WORK.

A committee headed by the Rev. Albert J. Greene was appointed some weeks ago by the Association for Care in the Childhood to look into the hospital facilities available to colored crippled children in the State. This committee reported that it found in Baltimore two institutions giving care to children in hospitals Hospital and the Children's Hospital School. At the former institution there are twenty bed available for the fifteen-seventy-seven. Eight of these beds at the Children's Hospital School are used for colored children but are paid or provided for by the state pays per capita fee for the care of the children and Kernan's Hospital could earn as much as $10,850 for year provided for the care of the children of the time—which is not quite true. The Children's Hospital School could earn $10,000 a year if all of its nineteen beds for white patients goes to the money from the State for the care of its colored patients. Eight Beds Funds for the care of the eight beds available for colored children are being provided by the Thomas Simmons School Foundation. Mr. Gravitz the superintendent of City Charities, was largely instrumental in securing his grant to take care of the need of the unfortunate little ones of the colored race. The trustees of the school trustees of the fund and is not a surety from year to year. Clty: Funds Mr. Gratz pointed out to the committee that while the eight beds were the only ones available for the colored children that they are almost never used and that several more could be used. The city is also making a per capita payment for the care of the cripples and the blind, but the same basis. But the city, while willing-to pay for more of the crippled colored children, is unable to find beds available for their needs. The special committee was continued by the Association for the Care of the Handicapped with instructions to investigate the possibility of obtaining a share of the care for the children and to call the attention of the Maryland Inter-racial Commission to the unfairness of the present situation. Mr. Gratz, Bragg, a member of the Association, and also a member of the Commission, said that he would bring the matter to the Interracial Commission's attention as one of the measures of administration the State which deserves the notice of the Legislature.
