CONFERENCE OPENS AT WATERS Pastors Scored For Failure To Report Larger Funds For Missions The A. M. E. Church must table Bishop Brooks $5,000 with which to clear up his debs in Liberia and come home. This information was given to the annual conference meeting in Wat- ten Church, Wednesday. Bishop J. A. Johnson, presiding, declared that the U. S. A. State Department had sent Dr. John R. Hawkins, in Washington. A. M. E. P. Finance Secretary, to confer with Bishop A. L. Gaines, Bishop J. R. Rangone and himself to Bishop Brooks, recently imprisoned there for debt and later freed. The U. S. A. State Department investigated. Pastors Scored Bishop Johnson scored pastors for failure to give an honest return of the East with the law. He read the law which states that all money collected on Easter day shall be sent to the missionary department of the church for foreign missions. The bishop declared that he preached at one church Easter Sunday and found that the collection was $65. He inquired later as to what sum was actually sent in to the missionary department and found that $135 had been sent despite the fact that other money had been collected at that church in the afternoon and then sent to him. Women Lead Women of this conference lead the function in their money reported for foreign missions. Bishop Johnson said. They raised five times as much as the men. “It’s not to your credit as ministers for foreign missions. Bishop “Let God’s church live. You are strangling it out of personal greed. There hasn’t been a year since I’ve been a bishop out that I’ve paid $1.000 a year into the missionary fund. It’s God’s money. I simply give it back to him because it now except that your migratory contributions compel me to make an effort to shame you. "The church to which I referred while ago offered me $50 for my meals on my thighs and went home. What night have they to offer to pay me?" The connection pays me a salary."

Calverton Debates "Christianity" With Kelly Miller In New York NO JUDGES AND NO DECISION GIVEN Opponent, Says Dean Miller, Is Very Learned, Very Eloquent, Very Wrong NEW YORK, (Whitney News Service)—"Having no scientific exceptions it is very doubtful that Jesus Christ ever existed." This was the view of V. F. Calverton, white, of Baltimore, editor of the Modern Quarterly, debating the question. "Does Orthodox Christianity Handicap Negro Progress" at the Community Church, Sunday afternoon. Said Mr. Calverton: Said Mr. Calverton. The story of the Garden of Eden is a tale. The Bible is an unauthentic and unscientific book of contradiction, both ludicrous and absurd. Orthodox Christianity and religion being grounded in ignorance and superstition attacked, our moment it began understanding and control theverse," he said. My impression," said Dean Kelly, Milk of Howard University, taking the floor, "is very eloquent, very learned and very wrong. "The position of the Negro today," said Mr. Calverton, is of people, the more generous, tragic and humiliated. Nothing is more numerous than seeing black men worshipping a white man's God in a black man's church. "Negro slaves accepted the religion given them by their masters," the speaker said, "and in effect were told 'you will get your ple in the Never mind getting a little more of Jesus, but get better social and economic conditions, was the speakers advice.

Its record of sympathy and librality ought to be maintained. The A. M. E. committee named includes Dr. C. H. Stepteau, Dr. R. A. Green, and Dr. J. G. Martin. Ollie Burton, 1302 Harlem avenue, was found dead with a bullet through his brains lying on his bed and his wife, Mrs. Ethel Burton, was on the floor near death with three bullet wounds in her body when police rushed into the home in answer to an emergency call Wednesday. Burton, following a domestic disagreement had fired five bullets at his wife, three taking effect one in the mouth, another in the forearm and them emptied the remaining cartridge into his own head. The bullet entered a little above the mouth and pierced his brain, killing him instantly. Both victims were in a pool of blood when the patrolman crashed into the room on the second floor. Mrs. Burton was burying profusely in several places, was still conscious and calling for help. She was rushed to the Colonial Hospital in the Northwestern District Patrol with her husband, where she was given first but is not expected to be Burton was home on admission. Miss Louise Dean, sister of the dead woman, told police that she was in the room at the time the argument began and when Burton threatened to shoot she ran from the room to seek aid. She and John Bryant, the same address, notified the police arrival the tragedy had taken place. MISS DEAN DISAPPEARS Efforts to locate Miss DEAN proved unsuccessful. AFRO reporters were told that she was no longer at the Harlem Street address and her whereabouts were not known. It was thought that she was so upset by the narrowing details of the place that she went to the home of friends. When interviewed in the emergency ward of the Colonial Hospital, Mrs. Burton, her face and arm bandaged, features ruined and who is still in a hysterical condition, to whom why her husband had shot her, "I don't know anything" she repeated over and over until nuptiled by an attendant.

DEATH STALKS IN MISSISSIPPI FLOOD PATH 200 Reported Drowned While 100,000 Made Homeless By Torrent RESCUERS DESCRIBE PITEABLE SCENES Hundreds Clinging To Trees And Roofs Swept Away Like Ants With 200 lives lost, hundreds of homes swept away like kindling and whole towns under water making 100,000 homeless, the annual Mississippi river floods claimed the greatest toll in its history as the crest swept down the valley Saturday and Sunday. Standing on a knoll at Spots Landing near Greenville, Miss., you get a vision of the vast deluge as the torrents surge through the valley land of shacks and shanties where thousands of farm hands and cropers who till the richest and most fertile soil in the world have literally been driven like rats from the low lands. On Sunday, when the work of rescue was at its height, men and women were seen clinging to the top of trees and the roofs of houses and refugees by the thousands pouring into Memphis, Little Rock and other nearby towns. Perhaps a more typical picture of the terrible hardships caused by the flood can be gleaned by a minute description of conditions at Scotts, Miss. Here great stretches of farms owned by the Mississippi Delta Plantation Company, a syndicate financed by Northern capitalists and headed by S. L. K. Salisbury of Memphis, are literally under water. When a slice in the leaves thawed, women into the valley land, men, women and children tipped to high hills, to trees and to house tops. Some of them rescued Sunday,' had been' without food or water since Thursday. A few miles above when sand boils had threatened a section of land, we were forty men furiously into the water, we were swept away like ants when a section of it gave way. They may never be found or perhaps their carcasses will be devoured by carrion when the waters subside. Some of the babies held by mothers in exposed areas died from want of food and exposure in their arms while rescue boats and airplanes were stuck in the dead. Scotts is a typical Mississippi delta settlement. Scenes like the above were duplicated throut the valley. In Refuge Camps Meanwhile more than 75,000 colored folk have been concentrated in Memphis, Little Rock, Yazoo City, Natchez and other towns. Out at the Tri-State Fair Grounds, which has been the scene of many rescue throng, tents house the shivering refugees, Burgess House, up the river, still jim crow style, empty them grim and callous. After all they do not feel keenly the property loss for they had little property to lose. From their two and three room shacks some of them snatched a "quill" and others a chicken or pig. If they have escaped with their lives they have escaped with most they have in the Mississippi Delta. What may have happened to the sick or the ill, the injured or only surmise. From the river boats in Memphis, scores were brought in on stretches. "I wonder what became of poor Aunt Mary," you hear a refugee sigh. $500,000,000 Loss It is estimated that the flood will cause a loss of $500,000,000 and that $5,000,000 will be required to feed and care for refugees. Farm methods are used to a large extent in the rich Mississippi Valley, labor conditions are still of the exploiting kind. Under the system the majority of families do share cropping, a system whereby the family felicity just about enough to buy the simplest diet and provide a shanty. There are, however, progressive farm owners of the race throughout the delta and they will share the loss of the financiers who own the big plantations. The section of the Mississippi Valley begins at Hickman, Ky., and stretches southward to the junction of the Red and Mississippi Rivers below Vicksburg. Millions have been expended to build the farm and masonry embankments intended to keep the river waters confined. Nature, however, plays a cruel joke by building up the river bed as mankind builds its banks and makes playthings of the leeches. Perhaps another contributing cause of lack of proper leece construction is that for the most part the owners of the fertile land do not live there. They are financiers in Memphis. New farmers in the industry who exploit this labor in the manner in which it will bring largest returns. CAN'T GET AUDITORIUM FOR ELKS' ORATORICAL CONTEST i age i wo D.C. AUDIT'RIUM REFUSED FOR ELKS'CONTEST Owners Won't Rent To Colored Folk For Orations On U. S. Constitution ZION CONFERENCE AND DANCE ALSO REFUSED Elks Discover They Have Been Depositing In Bank Which Owner Heads WASHINGTON, D. C.—The Washington Auditorium, the only modern and spacious concert and convention hall in the District of Columbia, is not for the use of colored folk. This fact was again stressed when representatives of William C. Hueston, commissioner of Penelope and Protective Order of Elks of the World of Gary, Ind. were refused the use of the auditorium for the holding of national oratorical contest in June. Strenuous efforts were made by Mortimer M. Harris, representing Mr. Hueston, the legal adviser of the Elks to secure the auditorium. They made their plea for its use directly to Robert N. Harper, president of the Corporation. They cited the significance of the contest. They told him of the numerical and educational values they impressed him with the patriotic and educational values of the contest. Their representations were underwritten by the men high in the ranks. After considerable negotiations Mr. Harper finally told that it had been decided to make a change in the management of the auditorium and protect this change it would not be let for any purpose. This is the third time that the use of the auditorium to colored folk has been refused. The James Taylor Day at Thanksgiving Day conference following the Howard-Lincoln football game there. He was refused, although he was willing to pay an exorbitant rental fee. He refused his refusal. He was told that the stockholders feared that the use of the auditorium by colored folk would depreciate the value of the Zion Conference Turned Down A committee of local citizens tried to obtain the auditorium holding a Zion Conference in May, 1928. They had the assurance of the conference committee that if a suitable place could be had, Washington would be chosen for the next general reference. 5.000 Visitors Promised This committee of citizens brought every possible pressure to bear, but Colonel Harper remained adamant in his retusal. He appeared, with the brains of trade, to be opposed to the trade. They pointed out that the general conference would last for 20 days and would bring four or five hundred people to the auditorium. They translated these figures into terms of dollars that would be spent here. But they could not obtain the auditorium. We told Colonel Harper in his conference let it be known that he has neither forgotten nor forgiven the colored people in the colony. He Auditorium on the night of May 6, 1925, because of segregation.

Virginians' Interest In Education Limited To Receiving End Says Alumnus Making Appeal For Dollar GET AUDI OSWALD VILL INTER Virginians' Interest In End Says Alumni Endowment. The Howard Commencement is rapidly approaching. Contributions to the endowment fund are not keeping pace with the university with the colored people of America let slip this golden opportunity to endow Howard University on the day of the inauguration of this famous institution? Is not such an endowment a most fitting tribute to the administration of the first member of the Negro race in the nation? It is right to sponsor position of presidency or Howard University? For years, progressive thought of real race leaders has been unanimous in conditions in America. Howard University should be directed by a member of the Negro race. Moss-backslam, ballism isms viewed with suspicion disfavor, and alarm (real or pretended) any move that might change the old order of things. Too many Negroes have pride on their tongues but not on Sah Boss in their hearts and knees. ALARMISTS Some of these alarmists saw the federal appropriations going with the naming of a colored president. Some saw the colored faculty of the college colored president. Some colored president. Some predicted that the white professors in the Medical School would immediately depart to a more congenial atmosphere. One really has to live in Washington to get most up-to-date minute prophecies. When the Howard appropriations of being thrown out of the House of being thrown out of the House of being thrown out of the House of being thrown out of the House of Howard appropriations have gone on similar pilgrimages for the last four or five years, these Doubting Fathers told you so." But when the bill finally emerged from Conference with not only the funds for maintenance, but an additional sum for a women's center, the lawmakers our alarmists and they have remained veritable pacifists ever since. NEVER BEEN ASSURED The appropriations of Howard University have been the strength of the color of the president, and they never will be influenced by skin. On the contrary, the sincerity of a colored president appealing from a heart that actually feels that Negro's cause has more potential value than white's, and the berth of the other race whose every act suggests bitter racial prejudice. The gratuity of the Federal Government to date has not due to the severity, but rather to the bountiful spirit of the country to assist a struggling race to develop into the stature of a robust manhood and womanhood. The withdrawal of such funds, if that fatal day comes, will not be due to situate choir and the Amphion Glee Club had quit the festival. **Roland Hayes** Only one colored person may use the Washington Auditorium for a concert, famed tenor, because he appears there under the direction of Mrs. Wilson-Greene, white, who experienced trouble with o. e. of his concerts because of efforts to impose segrega- Harper Virginian Colonel Harper, who controls the auditorium, is a Virginian.

UNERING FINGER When the Negro is on point with an unerring finger, at the colloquial case with which he can sell commodities and ideas to the Negro, affecting the individual wants, comforts, and manners, the Negro, with a dismal failure selling the idea of supporting Negro institutions of higher learning, the time is ripe for the query, "What manner of being is the American Negro, and what Negro indifference in matters of vital importance of education.

They are not enthusiastic about giving, even in modest amounts, for the support of their own education. Let every read of this article feel assured that Negro education loses its spirit. Mr. Villard. His action will surely be followed by other good white friends. It is inconceivable that they should take any other course. Unrequited philanthropy dies a natural consequence, and charity lies in sincere appreciation. The most convincing argument against philanthropy for the Negro lies in his own possessed wealth, of his multiplying enterprises pointing to progress and wealth, of his growing figures of school population, graduation, and the like. The logical conclusion is that the annual reports represent then to be the Negro is financially prepared to contribute more substantially to the support of many institutions which he would upon white philanthropy to maintain. NOT ALIENATE The writer's point of view is not that the colored institutions should alienate support from the white philology, but that they need merit support by first taking the initiative in polling the Negroes' financial strength in maintaining their own institutions of higher learning. The writer has said repeatedly that the Negroes are the most diverse country can be easily endowed by a very simple method. All that is needed is a contribution of ONE DOLLAR from each of about one-truth of the Negro population of the United States that can take their turn in being endowed. The method is like painless jenistry. Big pledges will not do the trick. It sometimes takes more than the collections to make these collect- NO EXPENSE The way suggested means no expense whatever. Every dollar contributed goes into the fund. If the Neeson campaign supports this simple but productive campaign to endow institutions, they will hardly support any other type. For this year, the writer is appealing to the students he is willing to go to the front for another worthy university. What could be more attractive if the interest is present? The plan is to make out a check on order to send ONE DOLLAR to Howard University and mail it to the AFRO-AMERICAN. The listing of the name in this column acts as a receipt. ONE DOLLAR.

Saturday, April 30, 1927 AARON GUARD MALONE ON FARM IN ILLINOIS Physician And Two Guards Keep Him Isolated 25 Miles From St. Louis RECEIVER MAKES SELF SCARCE AT "PORO" Court; Case Postponed ST. LOUIS, MO. (A. N. P.)—inaction has marked events in the Malone case for the past two weeks. For since Aaron E. Malone, husband of the founder of P.O. College, who is same his wife for divorce and a half married, he has uncepted himself through the window of his friend's home in what was evidently an attempt to commit suicide. He had been premeditated by his lawyers friends, "over on the Illinois case." For once he was confined in St. Mary's Hospital in East St. Louis, Illinois, the sisters in charge of Catholic institution forced his removal when continuing violent, he is said to have butten the finger of His lawyers therupon, had him taken to a farm house near Lebanon, Illinois, about twenty miles, as he kept under close guards by two men and attended daily by Dr. O. S. McClelland, the physician hired to watch him by attorney John McClelland, the lawyer. Titable Stories. Pitable stories continue to trickle as in his condition. Many of Mr. Malone's friends are amazed that his wife was not strong enough mentally to stand any great strain. He is said, however, to have abored into a delusion that the man his wife could stand up under and part of the plan mapped out is said to have been to so harrass her that she would give in. His husband, unsuspectingly foiled the part Trial Postponed In the meantime, his lawyers have been successful in postponing the trial, though no one about the town seems able to fathom the reason for this delay. Mr. Milone is kept out of Missouri, where he undoubtedly would be committed to a psychopathic hospital, and will not be a president of Missouri, the official recognition of his condition. On the other hand, Illinois authorities will not move him to Missouri, and will not move against him unless complaint is made by a resident of Illinois. Some impatience is manifest in the fact that Mr. Milone is the victim in the case. "Why don't they do something?" is the question being asked by most people but Mrs. Milone's attorneys are.

According to Webber, the arrest was a frame up and followed his publication of the story of an attack of the Green Taxi Company on the $1,000,000 company on two colored women who were employed in his place. The Guard carried the story. Suit for $8,000 instituted by these women was won by default according to their attorneys. The arrest of Webber followed a visit to the office of the Green Cab Company where he is said to have accepted $50 to suppress further publication of the Heisman attack story. The whole thing was a frame-up and that officers had been planted in the vicinity and that the arrest was an office at a hearing set in the alderman's office. At a hearing night in the alderman's office, nighted placement of the case was asked by Heisman's office. The case was released without further bond and it is believed that the case will be thrown out. M'RGAN-CHEYNEY DEBATE FRIDAY BY GEORGE W.

Bv L A ROGERS Special Correspondence to the Afo ROME, ITALY—For the past few days I have been wandering around the Eternal City. Before I began interesting incident that took place on the way from Napels. In the compartment in which I was were five others, a French lady, and four Italians, all Fascists. I was happily taking French, and as soon as Napels is far less formal than the American or the Englishman we were soon in friendly conversation. The Italians had warmed up to me immediately as I spoke womever I met. I had better speak well of him. For hours things went on like this until two Germans, a man and his wife entered the room. There was a hush and a constraint. The effect was precisely as if the scene were in the smoker of a white Pullman car in the South, and a Negro had entered as a pass- GERMANS UNEASY The Germans, apparently feeling as uneasy as the Negro would have been in the white smoker, kept to themselves, speaking in low tones in their native language, and marked being addressed to myself when the man wanted the loan of a French newspaper I had on the table. To me with no ill-will toward Germans in his situation was to be least interested. But it was soon to become more so. PRIEST ENTERS Soon after a young priest looked in at the door and began to speak to the two Germans in their language, and to such smiling pleasant young fellow that I couldn't help smiling at him, whereupon one of my Fascists friends, lifting his news-ly scowl as if to say that it wasn't the proper thing to show approval of Germans. Later when the Germans had left one of the Fascists made a remark which had a quite familiar ring for me; he said that the species of "cochon" (swine) shouldn't have been permitted to ride among decent people, while the among decent French lady who happens to be from Morocco, thanked me for permitting there or in any part of French African territory. Leaving the moral at home to thank the moral I will go on to speak of Rome. Home is a very fine, clean city, and though very old, has a somewhat modern appearance. I have discovered that the best way to do this is to do these cities on foot.

ONE WHITE, ONE BROWN Passing marmilific homes and fine gardens I came to a park where I saw a white nurse leading to the hand, two little boys, one white, the other, dark and plainly of Negro ancestry. He was dressed in a jaunty sail suit and carried a cane. Both apparently belonged to the man who would learn more I spoke to them, but unfortunately I know no Italian. NO COLOR LINE My next thrill was in arriving at the Campidoglio, or Capitol, built on one of the famous Seven Hills. It is now a remarkable place, the central figure being that of Marcus Aurelius on horseback. Here it was that Julius Caesar, and Brutus and Cassius Fulvius, both of them, were here. And right here it will be necessary to issue warning that in this and ensuing articles I am likely to get far away from the color question, and not here, as none here. The few Negroes here, mostly Abissinians and Somali live precisely as white people, and if you're an American, black or white, you're likely to be the best, and the best being wished on to you, as the popular belief is that all Americans are like the Treasury at Washin- Besides, getting away from the color question for a while will do us a world of good, at least. it has been of tremendous psychologic benefit to me in the last month, and I feel that I am a human being again and not a problem. ST. PETER'S Looking away from the Casel San Angelo I spy a towering taeaaabas a thrill tells me that there's St. Peter's church, a world, and the foundation stone of the Christian religion. The first thing that strikes one is the colombo leading to the very wide steps of the church. The colombo is in two sweeps of 142 columns each with 90 pillars and 192 statues of saints in the center of the square, or plaza, as it is called is a towering Egyptian obelisk, with two magnificent fountains on either side water spouting high in the air. THE INTERIOR I shall certainly not attempt to give a description of the interior of St. Peter's, except to say in the most unqualified manner that the thrilling most satisfying sight I have ever beheld. I have seen some of the most magnificent creations of man and of Nature but never anything to equal it. Use all the most magnificent influence, beauty, and one would still be far away from doing it a scillific justice, for is it not the handiwork, itself of the greatest genius of the face artists, six hundred designers, for more than six hundred years? Verily the men who designed this noble structure had something else on their brain besides the Charleston, the Black Bottom, the numbers, the base of the image, the face of Heaven, "Pine Clothes to the Jew," and the piffling, cabaretly stuff that white publishers in America would pin our Negro newspapers and my fellow demos to felt indoors my fellow-Negroes are as capable of doing as fine things as this, had they but the vision and the ambition, for was it not our earliest Negro artists all this especially in Egypt, from which most of Western art is derived?

Icism as well as Protestantism mean as little as Mohammedism—I believe that he have served their day, but have not served their own: "While St. Peter stands the Catholic Church stands." The poor Kluxians in America buried in their little church, simply don't what they gainst. One feels that even the Imperial Wizard himself would have great difficulty in concealing his admiration for this Temple of Beauty to which Catholics come by the hundreds of thousands annually from all parts of the world as Mohammedans go to Mecca. Among the noteworthy things in this cathedral are the great dome with its beautiful ornamentation on the upstairs chapel, the Centineng Chapel, with a mosaic showing the saint drawing blood from a linen cloth; the Papal Altar; and the bronze statue of St. Peter, the right foot of which is worn smooth by the kisses of devotees in the last fifteen hundred years. As for me I contented myself by watching others in line doing so for more reasons than one. St. Peter is built on the spot on which the Apostle Peter is buried. The Popes are his direct spiritual descendants, and in my next I will endeavor to show how this forlorn Pope and the other leaders Pope and Paul were able to overthrow the might of Imperial Rome, because of the firm faith in the justice of their cause and the need to bring it about. Truly there is hope for the Negro or any other persecuted group who will but go about to get what they want as if they meant HOWARD COUNTY SCHOOLS WILL GRADUATE 35 ELLICOTT CITY, Md.—Commencement exercises of seventh grade graduates of Howard County will be held at St. Luke A.

"Islam is biding for converts into the Negroes of our larger America. Not content to contest American mission missions, many African missionaries are endeavoring to secure a footing in the more important centers of the West." So says A. T. Hoffer, of Chicago, who has been making a study of the movement for some time, writing under the heading "Mosel Propaganda" in the Number of the MESSENGER magazine. Beginning in 1920, with the coming of M. M. Sadaj, a Mosel missionary from India, the movement has now been in full force, with Mosel in charge, 36 in Indianapolis, with an African in charge; 5 in St. Louis, with a former Christian clergyman and an charge, 300 in Chicago, throughout the country. Altogether there are almost 1,500 Moselms in the United States, today. "I visited the mosque. Mr. Hoffert continues, the mosque, talked with converts and visited in their homes.

SHORT SKIRTS SHOW WORLD IS IMPROVING Modern Girl Not As Vain As Women Of Bible Times, Says Rev. English YOUTH NOT HAPPIEST PERIOD OF LIFE Tells Girls Not To Put Trust In Worldly Things In Seeking Happiness "In spite of adverse criticism of women's fashions, short skirts and bobbed hair show that the world is improving," declared the Rev. Walter English in a Girls Day sermon at Snarp Street Memorial M. E. Church, Sunday. "Women of today do not pay as much attention to clothes as they did in the past, they noted the following passage from the book of Isaiah to prove that women wore more clothes and catered more to dress than men. Moreover the Lord saith, because the daughters of Zion are haughty and walk with stretched legs, as they go and making tinkling with their feet; therefore, the Lord will sniff with scab the crowns of their head and discover their secret "The Lord will take away their tinkling ornaments about their feet, their chains and bracelets, their heels and bracelets and ornaments of their legs and the head bands and tablets and earrings. The rings and nose jewels, the changeable suits of apparel and the waistcoats, the crisping jims, the glasses and the fine linen and the hides and the vells." Imagine, said the pastor, the modern woman dressed in the latest fashion, that she is free from the bondage of fashion than her grandmother was, he added. True Happiness For his subject the pastor took "True Happiness." The popular belief that youth is the happiest period of life is wrong, he declared. The pastor would have nothing to look forward to in old age but misery and sufferings. "The longer the fruit hangs on the three, the riper it becomes, the happier they ought to be by living a life of usefulness." He admonished the girls not to put their trust in an adult friend or in flattery in seeking true happiness. Many girls who thought they could gain happiness by marrying into a dwarfish have the ability to disillusion themselves. Regret. Many a girl who made personal appearance and charm her God finds that a pretty face will fade, but a beautiful life holds its sweetness after she is old. Girls who depend on the flattery of men for happiness will learn that the same compliments he passes on her, he will give to an audience sex. True happiness he concluded from being in religion and in making someone else happy.

CONGREGATIONS LOOK TO PASTOR FOR GUIDANCE WASHINGTON. — Addressing the Interdenominational Ministry Alliance here last night, James Welden Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. declared that the colors of the colored among their people was relatively greater than that of the white clergy among white people. "The relative influence of colored clergymen among their congregations is greater than that of white clergy, and Johnson, "for only obvious reason that the members of the average white congregation are open to and affected by more influences of colored congregation. The average colored congregation looks more fully to its pastor for its informed upon the social and personal social and personal. Therefore, since his influence is proportionately greater, so are the colored ministers' responsibilities greater. It is therefore that he inform himself intelligently upon the religious and moral phases of race progress but also upon the secular phases and forces that enter into and control race prog- "Colored clergymen should be well informed upon the Negro's status as a citizen, and his progress, the obstacles the Negro has had, and they protect the organized activity by which the Negro's cause is advanced and his status as an individual affirmed through the courts and before the tribunal of American opinion. The Negro's minimum status become, as some of them now are, lenders of the race in every sense. The opportunity is there." $20. SAYS DR.

SPECIAL NOTICE To the Members of Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church Methodist Episcopal Church: In 1826 you did not the honor to elect me one of the members of that Board for the ensuing year. So many of you board in office for the year 1827 that I feel a public statement is in order. I can tell you that office I gave with all my powers to protect faithfully all the interests connected to the work of the board, every meeting of the board, every meeting of the board, each and this absence was due to my absence of service. I was as surprised as any you that the Reverended Mr. Stenoue our pastor, left my name off the ballot in the election of the next night, 1827, thereby depriving you of the opportunity of expressing either service or service Frankly. I can no longer request this action on the part of our pastors, every annual, unless it be for honest, intelligent and straightforward. Thanking you for your gracious encouragement during by year of service, I beg to thank you as a member, WILLIAM WATTS. April 28, 1927.

E. Zion Church, Pena. Ava. "Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures; and that he was buried and that he rose again the third day, according to the Scriptures." 1 Cor. 15.3.4. The reason the Apostles presented these peculiar features in the scheme of reception of Christ is that he ransomed the world; his burial was an evidence of his death—that he died truly and his resurrection was a seal of his victory over death, hell and the grave. Proofs of the marvelous transaction. There were eye-witnesses to his death and burial—enemies as well as friends; there were the Roman soldiers who carried the cross and the empty tomb; and above all the living Christ himself. These were testimonies which could not be doubted. Let us notice some of the things we must preserve and then the facts presented. 1. His birth. From the head the universal government to become man, to be born of a woman—was no longer born of a man, but he refused a place among the human family, and to be born among the beasts, descended beyond humiliation: this the glorious Christ, the son of God, the eternal God, not merely a man, but an enchanted beast began at the beginning and conquered as he went. 2. His life. If he rose. He died and as a natural consequence, he lived. He was a man, a man, a man, so sorrow and suffering and burden of good deeds. The poet says. He knows what sore temptation means. Thirty-three years supplemented his divine Prominent Speakers include Mrs. Annie Hitchen, Miss Hilda Anderson and others. MOTHERS CHOIR under the direction of MRS. EMMA TYLER. MRS. MARTHA E.

He healed the sick and cleaned the rope, raised the dead. 3. His death. Here the Apostle says in our text, "Christ died for our sins and a regular co-incidence that he called creation into existence should die, yes. He died the death of the cross; shameful death; cursed death; Cursed is everyone that hung up after the death of three hours in terrible agony. 4. The next glorious fact of the Apostle's record was his burial and the providence of providence desired that there should be abundance of testimony to the actual death of his Son; so providence ordered that He should be buried in the chain of his actual death, so he was allowed to remain in the grave three days. He was buried. He resigned. He rose again the third day according to the scripture." The Jews suspected that Jesus was the Christ of God; and that according to the Scriptures. He would rise again; they therefore attempted to frustrate the purpose by scaling the stone laid at the door of the sepulchre and setting a watch. When they laid Him in the tomb there was not much merriment as one would really suppose. His death caused much trouble; they broke their Sabbath that they might prevent his resurrection. At the hour appointed, He shackled death, confused the power of hell and rose triumphantly.

CHURCH KIWANIS SHAW PREXY BLAMED FOR JIM CROW Separate Dorms and Dining Halls For Faculty Defended As Dixie Custom Membership of J. L. Peacock, white, in the Kiwanis Club and his custom of preaching in the local white Baptist churches of Raleigh are blamed for jim crow faculty conditions at Shaw University. This is the view of Louis K. McMilan, former instructor in the department of Old Testament Literature at Shaw, in Raleigh, who was exposed to the University for exposing these conditions in a letter to graduate board, two weeks ago. Mr. McMillan was in Baltimore Tuesday, and he was there while he was the guests of Cecil Coleman and Linwood C. Koger. He was there when he he was heading to Mr. McMillan, there are 220 students in the Theological seminary. The faculty consists of 15 whites have separate building for dormitories and separate dining room while the colored members of the faculty live in the dormitories with the students and other fellow meals in the dining hall. "Of course," says Mr. McMillan, "the fare is different." Aked how much he must to make himself just at this time he declared he had discussed the matter with several other instructors at the college, but that the reason segregation was tolerated in the colored schools, was because the trustees did not know about it. Fire other instructors, he said, but she saw because of conditions. All of them are Howard graduates, all of them this number are Miss Jesse Bullock, teacher of Home Economics; Miss Marcell Dunn, teacher of Yale and are suspended by the president. The trustees of the school, including G. C. Spalding, of Durham met and in expects, they confirmed the action of the president. "Their only defense was, segregation and Jim crow are the custom of Shaw for 50 years." President Peacock, he said, continues his membership in the Kliwanis Club and also preaches in white Baptist churches in the town. For these reasons, he asked the president treats the white members of the faculty as if they were on a higher plane than the colored. PHILADELPHIA—Joseph I.

FAMOUS STAR REVEALS Page Six PRESS IS ONLY VITAL FORUM SAYS ANDERSON Newspapers Only Militant Agencies Guiding Current Public Questions VALUES NEWS ABOVE EDITORIAL COMMENT Modern Life So Hurried That Modern Men Only Take Things Seriously In "The press has become about the only agency that is both able and willing to take up the task of keeping alive interest in public questions," declared W. Cato Anderson of the Douglass High School faculty, in addressing the Afro-American Club, Saturday. Where the school, the church, the chataueua and other agencies have seemingly given up the fight, the newspaper has stepped in to fight the battles of the public. It is for this reason that the press must operate under high and fearless standards and must do its best. If conditions on the street car lines, or in the schools are bad, or if public officials abuse public confidence, you don't expect relief from churches or the chataquina, but you depend upon the newspapers of the land to bring these conditions to the attention of the people and to keep them until there is some improvement. Somehow people do not believe what they see until it is printed, or you don't expect relief from modern life is complex that no one can see all of it. Furthermore, what we see does not impress us as easily as the experience of the abuses and other improper factors, we move so fast that we do not remember what we see, hear and feel. If we do not read in the press, we see the abuses and other improper factors, we harden believe our own inconvenience real. In short, our modern life is in black and white and must be constantly told about them if they pay them any attention. News The Thing Commenting on the reading public, Mr. Anderson declared, "Of course, everybody who reads a newspaper self in affairs that concern the community. The average reader passes over many more important things to get to the spot, the news is being scanned by a majority of newspaper readers. It is the news, therefore, in the modern newspaper that is exerting most public pressure, therefore, has become the dominant agency in this world in moulding public sentiment, which was carefully prepared and showed an exhaustive study of the dynamics of public opinion, was listened to with rapt interest by members of the NGO staff and their visiting friends. Others on the program were: Mary H. Hyman, the reader of Morgan College, read "The Soul Of The Old Violin" before the club and was heartily applauded by her enthusiastic fiancées.

'Lelia Walker And Bishop Abraham Lincoln Gaines (By Wm. F. Browning, Republican Candidate for Mayor). I am accused of having failed to nominate colored members for the health wardens, members of the jail and school boards, when I was mayor. I haven't told this before, but I tell it now. I believe that the collective on these boards, I am opposed to shutting the door of hope and aspiration in the face of any race, council (which has to confirm all appointments) with the Mahon Democrats, with whom we had a working agreement. They refused. The question is, because they would have been turned down and might possibly have jeopardized my whole program. The question is, because they would have been turned down and might possibly have jeopardized my whole program. I took with Dr. Jones, Health Commissioner, he declined to appoint them, but he worked out a plan of clinics by which he employs a number of people in the school board, in the schools and all over the city. If colored membership on the school board is to come, it will have to be nominated by the Public School Association, preparing the way with public sentiment. I am accused of permitting the Ku Klux to parade. I had no choice. Any orderly group has the right, to parade through the city streets. But had the right, I objected to them on their principles. The only thing I could do, I did. I prevented them from parading in masks, and for some reason I discovered who the Ku Klux were. What are some of the things I did as mayor, and I built School IRA. I also appropriated the money for the new million dollar Douglass High School, and broke the fund for it; I had nurses and physicians appointed in the schools; I placed 60 men or more to work in the water department; I had, for the first time, a colored supervisor of schools appointed; I appropriated the money for the schools; I appropriated the colored high school teachers' salaries. These are not promises, they are accomplishments. BY RALPH MATTHEWS "Who's Who In Colored America?" Well, according to a thick morocco bound volume bearing that title of the book, "Who's Who in Colored America," T. J. Calloway, Prof. Miles Connor, the Rev. Ernest Lymes, all notable Baltimoreans, are others; not to Baltimore, are pictures, accomplishments, family, church and fraternal connections of about 500 or more. He is just who or what his neighbor, brother or distant relative really is until some enterprising book concern gets out a book and tells us all about it. On very few occasions, informed you cannot get your name in the book by paying for it. You have to be an honest to goodness. Who's who in Baltimore, it looks more like a catalog of some institution of learning than anything else because each name is followed by a picture, informed they received. You would actually be surprised to know how much education some folks have. We learn the very important fact that Ohio is a member of the Kappa Alpha Pi instead of the Kappa Pi as reported further over in the book: But Burt is Em. Tecumseh instead of Ernest. Imagine if you can the calamity that would have followed had these color mistakes been permitted to remain. Beauty vs. Brains The picture section is interesting, but of course you must allow for the color differences in the cell, picked brains in preference to beauty and succeeded nicely. Among other things it might be interesting to know that Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard University, besides being a newspaper man, Eugene Gordon helped organize the colored battalion of the Massachusetts Gaines' first two names are Abraham Lincoln. That Mr. R. Nathaniel Dott, was born in Drumminville, South Carolina, is secretary-treasurer of Howard University, while another Emmett J. Scott is a dentist in Boston, Mass.

Md.—South's Biggest and Best Weekly (By Wm. Curran, Democratic candidate for Mayor) I am accused of having permitted my own party to disfranchise years ago in favor of the Diggs Disfranchisement amendment. I have no recollection of it. If I did, why hold something like that in earnest, can my Republican party hardly in the party long enough to understand all of its moves. Since I have entered public life in earnest, can my Republican party hardly in the party long enough to understand all of its moves? They have said I made no effort in the recent legislature to have the jim car crow law abolished. Everybody who knows anything of what went on at the legislature knows urged my friends to work for repeal. Many years ago it was my party at election time which used the Negro question as a bugaboo. It's a striking thing now that how mention of color or race, comes from Republicans who reproach us with having secured the goodwill and votes those whom they thought they had. Once only, did the Republican party bid for the colored vote. Now both parties bid for it. It isn't that mention of color or race, but we all have changed, the Democratic party in its attitude towards colored people; and the colored people in their attitude towards the colored people. It is a change which has been natural. At the bar, for example, we could not continue daily to match wits with colored lawyers, well equipped, without coming to respect their ability and the group to which they belong. On the question of patronage, I believe it should be given to members of the party, but the civil service absolutely without prejudice or favor. Mr. and Mrs. Carlton R.

Striker street, by a police officer from the Northwestern District, last Friday night, following an arrest near his home. According to a complaint lodged with Police Commissioner Gaither, Simuels, who occupies an apartment on the street when stopped by a friend who was suspected of being a violent officer.

He then beat him in his sick knocking out several teeth. Simulus was removed to the Colonial Hospital, where it was necessary to place three stubs under his arm. Among the many witnesses to the atrocity were the Rev. M. Jackson, 1120 N. Gilmor street, who picked up one of Mr. Davis. Both state their willingness to testify before the commissioner. Commissioner Galther has promised to conduct a personal investigation. Simulus has retained J. Stewart Davis, attorney, to press the action against the officer. Mr. Simulus is a respectable, hard-working citizen and is employee of the trivial office of the Electric Company of this city. Simulus remained at the hospital for more than a week.

FRANK FURST GIVES PROVIDENT $15,000 FRANK FURST GIVES PROVIDENT $15,000 Democrat ENNIS ANSWERS "AD" OF WILLIAM BROENING Tells Of Conference Recently With Thomas R. Smith and Bishop Gaines A political advertisement in the Sun, Thursday morning, disclosed that 55,000 had been made several weeks ago, to Provident Hospital. Robert B. Ennis, who signed the advertisement, told the APFO today, that the unnamed donor referred to was Frank A. Rust, one of the city's leading business men and a prominent Democrat. Conditions of the gift had not made public. The "ad" read: An answer to William F. Breening. To the Voters of Baltimore: "In a political advertisement yesterday afternoon William P. Breening. Republican candidate for Mayor, among many misstatements, said the law knew no such contact, and ill-founded statements in display advertisements." The last time "Tom" Smith was taken to the hospital, he was accompanied by Bishop A. G. Calmine of the African M. E. Church, in the interest of Provident Hospital. This work will continue to continue the splendid work it has been doing among colored people. I succeeded in raising the sum of my friends to 100,000 of my friends are to be condemned by Mr. Browning for this act of mine, and I am so ashamed to accept by making the facts known.

REVIEWS ROYAL "Kentucky Club" Revue In assembling the cast for the presentation of "Kentucky Club" Revue, Leonard Harper has carefully selected a group that is far above the average in appearance, ability and fluge of performance. "The show is swift and snappy and contains several novel bits. Harper knows beauty when he sees it and he has several of the belies in "Kentucky Club." The shows open with the charming Blanche Thompson, a Baltimore native and the star of Southern plantation melodies. Miss Thompson is gifted with a voice that is warm in expression of the song themes, and her work is always in vaudeville throughout the revue. The star of the production is "Jazz," a youngster, who has reached the top of the music chart exceptionally small. "Jazz" took honors from the first appearance in his songs, dances and struts. The kiddle swing and the difficult dances with the ease, grace and spirit of a seasoned trouper. He is teamed with his mother as "Jazz and Fritz," the mother of his missing in America Roots the "mum" numbers which she rendered. According to the applause given by the bunch, his mother goes to the comedy team of Hunter and Ledman. Ledman makes you know that Darwin was right. He truly acts the monkey. His novelty almost stopped the flow. Doris Rhuebottom showed up well as soubrette and did credit to herself in all her chorus leads. The dance routine of "Teddy" Fraser, was one of the bright spots on the bill Ease and pleasantness appear to be his forte. Henry Crackshot, with his specialty sones, and Louis Cole in the juvenile bits, are hard workers and are expected to be heard of more in the future. Mr. Harper realizes the importance of costumes and settings and he has effective ones of every scene. The few weaknesses of the revue appear in an oriental scene where several of the chorus girls add some movements to their dances which should be left out for decency's sake. The nine dancing maids have enough grace and ability to make the grade without any smut. One other feature which detracted from the almost wholly pleasing ensemble was the cheap comment and introduction of the characters in "The Stars". The Monday matinee patrons showed their approval by giving these numbers least applause. The music by the Royal orchestra is supplemented by four musicians of the "Kentucky Club" troupe. Joe Turner is director. The show has Robyn Slater as manager. REGENT The Regent bill this week has four new sports, and above the average and one single which is decidedly weak. Marvelvilla will be the first to enter the program with a routine of acrobatics and gymnastics, which Marvelvilla would have, you chuck he has no bones by his variety of contortions and above all, he never Call Vernon 6016 FILM REVIEWS "Silent Rider" CAREY CAREY The popular Hoot Gibson and his wonder horse, the Playboy playbook comes to the Carey on May 2.

"Don Juan" LAFAYETTE The Lafayette management has announced that their use will begin its May bill with the screen's activation attraction will appear Monday, May 2. The hero is a character who has inflamed the imagination of writers Monday in a single which was leaked in the news, sexuality, and costume. His jokes were stale and he appeared to work almost listlessly An offering of song numbers are pleasingly put over by Audrey L. Mills, who is endowed with a good, clear, soprano voice, and she knows the use of spikings eyes and a radiant face, vivacious and carnished in her work. "Bob" Mills, who has been playing as a Keith favorite on her tour, is entertaining with his "Mills, Haywood. Mills Trio. They offer a song and dance act which is commendable and exciting. Mills is an accomplished stepper and he has a valuable team-mate in Miss Claudia Haywood. who impresses him in the town later. Mrs. Mills carries the song numbers. Baltimore has one of her own favorites in Miss Alice Thompson, who teaches the schools. The team of Glasse and Thompson is offering a serio-comic sketch entitled, "The Character of a husband who becomes a brute because of disappointment in love and marriage. Glasse and Thompson were print editions of "Shuffle Alone." STAR "STOP AND FIX IT" Helen Bumbraye and "Teddy" Smith are offering their "Stop And Fix It Revenge to the Star crowds this week" action and intense effort on the part of the performers. f "Teddy" is providing numerous screens with his monopoly and helps himself into his work and it is to be reretarded that he spoils some of the effects by too frequent "dams" and misses. Miss Bumbraye leads the ladies with two comedy bits which have the necessary spiciness, but stay within the well-behaved school in stage manners and puts as much enthusiasm and spirit into her entrances and exits as to her performance. f "Teddy" Smith are followed by some clowning the runny, lanky "Kid" Piedmont. Smith and Bumbraye have Edward Garret, a comedian, and Adam Adams, to show their wares in team dancing. The word to these young troupers is hard work and study. They have written. The chorus is composed of Frances Goins, Camille Chase, Margaret Slater, Edith Jenkins and Gertrude Smith.

"Dud" Gets An Offer S. H. Dudley, veteran showman and advocate for a Negro film corporation, will present dollars, got one big answer to his pleadings last week. A New England real estate dealer wrote him a letter asking him to a studio complete with all necessities for beginning the making of pictures on a large scale. He offers the plan, no new corporation, in which he declares the he is willing to invest, for $100,000. Much remains to be found out Numbers of theatre-zoers will be in play in theaters and in theatres.

Day By Day Harry Henderson, young screen star, and Lawrence Cheaulet of the Lafayette Players, made their bow in the drama "Children of Fate." The picture leaves much to be desired in several ways. One might consider the absurdity of taking the Necroid comedienne and matching it against the nearly Nordic facial contour of a dull and uninteresting leading lady who was cast as her sister in the need of improvement, but the whole is a vast improvement over past productions. Colored pictures are in their infancy but "but as by day in every way there is good moral food in getting a taste of your own images. Master Of Ceremonies The master of ceremonies method of presenting valuable acts has been offered to Baltimoreans. Seven of the most important local people may decide that they do not want the innovation, because it was first presented by a big general audience. The better he is suited to comedy and display of his soft sooning voice in song specialties. He attempted to show off with "proper" talking while wrapped with a fifth grade education. The second master of ceremonies was a youth who failed to get a fair grasp of his high school composition. He was worthwhile, worth-while presentations get cold water poured upon them.

JUST CALL MADISON 6374 MONDAY—TUESS Hailed as the Romantic S Sensation of Call Vernon 6016 Music Notes By Clarence Cameron White (For Preston News Service) Ballanta—African Musician The recent award of John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation fellowship to Nicholas G. J. Ballanta of Free Town, Sierra Leone (Africa) for the comparison of these conceptions with the musical conceptions of the older systems of music in Europe is of great importance to Afro-Americans. He first became interested in music when a British Regimental Band was stationed at his home and thru the kindness and interest of a clarinetist of this band he was taught this instrument and the rudiments of music. He first came to Boston at the suggestion of Mrs. Casley Hayford and her niece, Miss Kathleen Easmon (Samango) who were in America in the 1930s. While in Boston the African Rhapsoy was performed at Symphony Hall in an African pageant, under the musical direction of the writer. Mr. Ballanta stayed that winter in Boston and studied Orchestra and Music, and Conservatory of Music, but later went to New York where he attracted the attention of Walter Damosch who brought him to the attention of his brother. Frank Damosch, head of the Institute of Musical Arts, here he was given a scholarship and after several years study graduated. During his sojourn in New York, he was brought to the attention of Mr. George Foster Peabody, who gave him financial aid and made it possible for him to visit St. Helena Island and of Chadwick's Caroline and compile and publish a splendid book of rare Negro Spirituals. Later through the assistance of Mr. Peabody he was enabled to return to Africa for research work. It is well to know that before this was granted that through the efforts of Mr. Peabody, Dr. Robert Moynihan and a number of "Negro musicians in America, a movement was started to give financial assistance to Mr. Ballanta to continue this fine research work.

You'll be in a heaven of thrills with the midnight lovers—high-fliers in love—looping through the blue clouds of matrimony into a smashup that sent pieces of gossip showering over London. The good ship "Nuptial Bliss" went on the rocks—but they fell in the clover. Lewis Stone and Anna Q. Nilsson Fred Jennings, who is the leading leader of the Wild Rhyme, Riley, is a. A. litlek, chbP. Revue, is a likable chap. Despite his quarter century of appearance in vaudville productions and his recognition among musical groups, Jennings is a modest fellow stage manager, giving himself. The fact is that he requires a great amount of persuasion to begin a little conversation of his old days with the late "Bob" Cole, the teaming with Young when Baltimoreans danced to theatrical numbers in 1918 and the showers of applause that locals gave him at the Regent last week. ♦ Fred will admit his membership in some of the former Sissie and Blake musical comedies and can be coaxed into saying that he enjoys his musical work, but he forgets his pep and the comedies he saw the pencil and pad of a writer. He would rather talk about his fellow trouppers and his petite soprano and wife, Anita eed, to whom he has been married some three years. The former Baltimore star the surrealist musical act which gains its popularity on three counts: pe, personality and performance. There is the buxom Georgette Harvey whose contralto has the tonal appearance of bass. Musa Williams adds the richness of the melody, the instrument, and is an accomplished soloist. These songs birds, of the old "Runin' Wild" fame and present Keith and Loew popularity, are the background to which Jennings points when he is asked for greater contentment has come from knowing that the people out front like my bits", is the way Fred Jennings puts it. WEST INDIAN TRIO CAPTURES PARIS Guadeloupe Native Girls Are Worry To Dolly Sisters. The debut of a set of olive-skined triplets from Guadeloupe, on the Paris stage, has created a furore in French Theatrical circles, and is said to be causing considerable worry to the Dolly Twins, white, and a German triplet act, who were formerly Paris favorites. These sisters, Lina, Tina and Gina Lacriere, are said to be only 16 years of age, and have evoked considerable comment. She is known for her dancing of the "Charleston" and "Black Bottom". Guadeloupe is a French colony, in the West Indies and is principally inhabited by the Caribbeans. The French express wonder that these natives should be so efficient in thorny modern dances. The triplies are playing at the Music Hall des Champs Elysees. It is expected that there will be a general exodus of triplies to Paris.

Dudley Page Nine "LULU BELLE" DID NOT PAY BELASCO Dean Of Producers Says He Lost $250,000 On Last Four Plays NEW YORK.—After stating that he had lost $250,000 in the production of his last four plays, including "Lulu Belle," the drama of Negro life in Harlem, David Belasco declared that he was willing to lose more in the presentation of clean plays, in a statement to the New York press, Saturday, when he is dean of American producers. He said in part: "There were no profits—no, not even on 'Lulu Belle,' because we had to take in $16,500 a week to break even on that production. We closed it after a year, when the receipts in the final weeks fell to about $10,000, and the mechanical crew profits were impossible from the outset. "There you are, a quarter of a million in a season, and that does not include costs expended before the season began. But I am not grateful, for it was my money, every penny of it, and it represents the money that the public gave me in recognition of my efforts in other years. I would burn down my theatre before taking a dirty play to attract salacious patronage to the box-office—but I have paid a terrific price in my attempt to present wholesome, sentimental plays." When reminded that "Lulu elle" was not rated as a must-play, I also recognized that this was a fragment of life as it is lived, and he likened Lenore Urlle's role to Carmen in Harlem, a creature born in wickedness and unable to overcome it.

Page Eleven NANCY TO NAILA The whole town's talking about the extraordinary degree to which the George Halls were complimented upon the occasion of their wedding in Atlanta some weeks back. It had been pretty generally understood that this romance of George's and the former Miss Virginia Hodges' had had its consummation in a veritable blaze of glory, but there's nothing like evidence. And there was plenty of it right there for you, if you happened to be among those in attendance when Dr. and Mrs. Hall were at home to their Baltimore friends last Sunday. First, there were photographs of the bridal party which numbered about a score. Then there was the gift display. Silver, in such large quantities, has not been lavished upon anyone in this burg since a decade ago when Bishop and Mrs. Hurst celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of their marriage. In addition there was china and glassware, linens and lingerie, boudou accessories, electrical appliances, kitchen-ware, and heaven knows what not. Page Twelve NANCY Dear Naila.

Westcott, Miss Anna Westcott, and Miss Mattle White. Nettie Gibbon surprised her sister, Frank Murphy, with a birthday party. Thursday evening — and I mean it was a surprise, too. Frank was on the point of retiring when she was suddenly reminded that the day was something more than the twenty-first of April. The rain had poured in torrents all evening and showed no signs whatever of ceasing but an amom of her friends. They came—everyone of those invited: Grace and Vasilie Murphy; of course: Florence Carter; Isabelle Clark; and Mary Huzes; Beatrice Hawkins and her cousin-guest from Philadelphia, May Bradford; Einda Rea and endida; Grace and Eva McCardi; Jenne Hall; Marie Payne; and Clara Robinson. Sadie Murphy's absence was noted and explained by the fact that she and her husband, Arnett, were seen at Park and Philadelphia during the week. The Mollicans' dance on the same night was well attended, too, despite the brand of weather meted out by the Relentless Roscoe. The members of the club are Arthur Dorset, Harriet Richard, Richard Red, Charles Proctor and Bernard Young—all a part of the local post office force. The guests included a large percentage of those seen out all winter plus some seen not so frequently. Rob and Etra Mason were among them. I was particularly glad to note. The C. C. Club, consisting of women on the faculty of the Dunbane Senior High, gave their dance -- the first in several seasons -- the best performance. Pauline Young and Gene Stubbs Jameson came down from Wilmington for it. Evangeline Palmer of Washington was over. Then, there was Fanny Martin, a student of Miner Norman and the course, Howard Allen, Will Black, and Tandy Brown -- all of whom are beginning to seem like Baltimoreans by this time. Pauline Young visited Manle Dugge and the guest of honor at a card party, at which Manle was hostess. Saturday afternoon. The choir of Madison Street Church "came across" with Gaul's oratorio. The Holy City Club done to a tune under the direction of Frenes Chambers, organist and choir leader. Solists were Annie Brown. Therese Stewart and others. Devotedly.

SPENDING A THOUSAND DOLLARS If you were given a thousand dollars with orders to spend it as you pleased, undoubtedly you could devise many delightful ways of using it. For instance, you might plan a trip to Europe—or you might buy a motorcar and take a tour—or you might buy a bond as a permanent investment. As you agree that spending a thousand dollars would be a pleasant pastime, why not set about getting it with our help? With compound interest, a saving of five dollars a week will become a thousand dollars in a little over three years. In effect, you will be buying a thousand dollars on an "easy payment plan."

These Flexers. NEW YORK, N. Y.—Because the Lincoln Giants have signed Montalvo, former star outfielder of the Western Cuban Stars, a baseball war is threatened between the National Negro League and the Eastern Colored League. Reports are flying hither and yon regarding the signing to box Tommy McMullen. Walk Miller, manager of Flowers says, "We have been very patient with him and have been able to annoy them any more than was necessary to remind of the contract. I have in hand promising to work with him for days after the Chicago beout last December. However I feel that the team is not ready to defend of myself and boxer. We will light it out to the last ditch if they insist on forcing my hand, the press may try to force him to suit that will make the Kearns and Dempsey affair look mild." The Lincoln's believed Montalto to be a free agent when they signed him up and insist they have a right to his service, while officials of the team omitted the name of that Montalto is the property of that organization. Keenan Takes Action James Keenan, owner of the Montalto's services to Montalto's services on the following reasons: Montalto asked for an increase in salary from the Chicago club at the close of the 1925 season and when he was refused returned to his home in Cuba and refused to play the team more than the more of the National Negro Baseball League, in giving out his list of players under contract to member teams of the league omitted the name of the team. Montalto was not on the list, the Lincoln Giants took it for granted that he was a free agent. They, therefore contracted for his services in good Downington Loses DOVER, DEL.-After opening the season with a 15-13 victory over the Chicago Bears, Industrial School baseball team lost its second game of the season to State College at Dover, Delaware, by 6-0. Friday, the team faced a hitting battle between Anderson, of Downingtown, and Evans, of State College in which the former had a slight advantage. The Bears won the day of this week, at Downingtown. 2. Because the secretary of the western league omitted the name of the team sent to the East and because Montalvo refuses to play with his tormenter, he is sent with team with that team, the Commissioners of the Eastern League believe the Western organization has no legal right to the services of this team.

MILLER CHAPTER 107E, PAGE 208 CHARLOTTE, N. C. Before a crowd of 3,500 fans, Yokeley, right hand twirler of the Baltimore Black Sock, Eastern Leaguers, and now a student at Livingstone College. won a pitching duel from Hayes of Johnson C. Smith College, 2 to 1, here Monday afternoon in the annual Easter classic of the South, and the first victory for the Salisbury collegians over the latter since 1922. The two teams battled thru the nine innings of hard fighting. Smith's outfield performed a rare feat in college baseball being accredited with the team's three errors while Byrd of Livingstone made as many errors, himself, one accounting for the former's one tally. The Salisbury aggregation scored their first run in the fourth inning when Ellis, local centerfielder, lost Jones' fly in the sun, the latter stole third and crossed the plate when Duncan singled to center. Neither team registered again until the seventh when McDowell was hit by a pitched ball. He later advanced to second on Thompson's out to third. Hardy batting for Marshall slammed one to Byrd at short who let the ball get away from him and McDowell scored. Livingstone won the game in the eighth when Berry walked, went to second on Thompson's error of Byrd's liner over first and scored on Smith's smash down third base line. WHILFFS EIGHT Yokeley struck out men while Hayes sent seven Livingstone batters back to the bench by the strike route.

SOX INFIELD IS FASTEST IN THE LEAGUE Brown, Jackson And Taylor Sure To Make Record Number of Double Plays HARRISBURG HERE FOR OPENING SUNDAY Thomas R. Smith Asked To Throw Out The First Ball The Baltimore Black Sox representing Baltimore City in the Eastern League of colored baseball clubs will make their 1927 debut Sunday, May the first, at their Westport grounds, playing their old rivals, the Harrisburg Giants. The fans will see an almost new club, when the umpire calls play at two p. in President Rossiter and Manager Taylor are endeavoring to give Baltimore a pennant and have searched the country for talent, always working for speed, and more speed, hence they are claiming to have the fastest club in all departments that has ever represented this city. The club has done much better this year than last in exhibition games, winning six and losing two. We hear quite a deal of talk relative the strength of this year's club compared last year's club. In itself, and there was a life memory serves me right at the beginning of last season, and up until after June the沙县 did not have much of a league in the shortfall all season. The outfield was probably the weakest in the league, so far as covering ground was concerned, and the hitting was The department of the men was terrible they not trying or caring to play baseball. But this year's look at the 1927 edition of Black-Sox shows the men are hustling at all times, there seems to be a man who seems to be rallying to Manager Taylor, trying to do his best. Even old Ben himself seems to be doing well, but he did when I saw him out west many years ago. At that time he was considered by basenail critics both white and as the peer of all 'first baseman. Fast Infield Some fans talking to me last week said that the Sox had the fastest infield in the league, with "Babe Ruth" Wilson at bat, with "Babe Ruth" if he had been there all the time, going great, and hitting the ball hard as usual, Scrappy Brown, without a hit, Jackson playing little Jackson playing second, "Ole Reliable" Ben at first, form an infield that is hard to beat. I predict that Brown and Jackson will make more double plays than any other two men in the season. Brown to Jackson to Taylor, and Jackson to Brown to Taylor, will be combination of other years. Tinker to Evers to Chance; they both are great players. The army. The outfield will hold their own with any three flyers in the league. A can of fire will be the center of the outer pastures. "pough said." Behind the bat we find Eggleton and Clark. Since Mackey went to Japan there he was compared with Eggleton in all around ability; he is a great receiver with one of the best arms in baseball, and he is the East. His batting average is always three hundred or more. Clark, the second string man is also very good, with great improvements in the pitching staff. Strong looks like he is in for one of his best years, and we all know what that means, Big Bob weathrikes pitcher them down with case, not a run being scored on him for the eight innings he worked. Yes, I think Bob weathrikes games of fame for this season. Then there is little Pritchard, who came here in the trade that sent Beckwith to Harrisburg last season. have him, am sure, taken over for pitching staff. Incidentally he is the only southpaw in camp. Force will be able to take his turn much better this season. I am sure he injuries and sickness, and last but by no means least, we have "Back-fire" Yokee to come in. I have been getting reports from his school, and he has yet to lose one. In his game last he struck out sixteen; he is sure to have a chance to be the best youngster that has been brought up in the last ten years. The above club is looked to bring Baltimore its first pennant. There do not seem to be any players in the men are good, but have been over that before many weeks have passed will be looking at one of the smoothers of the club that was ever put on a diamond. Saturday's Game The club goes to Wilkes-Barre Pa. for games, and the League Club of that city, and will play the last exhibition game on their schedule. Saturday's Club in Baltimore. A large, enthusiastic crowd is looked for at the open- Hilltop Editors Say H. U. Opposes Joining C. I. A. A. ing game. Manager Taylor has asked Mr. Thos. Smith to throw the first ball, and feels that he will little take the formality the battle will be on. Rally Round But just a word to the other family, you ask Taylor. You round Taylor and his Sox. Don't stay at home and knock because you don't know some of the new men on the club, or because some player is here, but come out and root for your boys to win. Let us remember this is our home and we should it is a home institution; ballplayers are human the same as we are, and need a little encouragement. would you do that? If we would pull for them more, instead of knocking every time one of them made an error. I feel like the Sox are due to win this year, and we would pull for them. If the Sox are ever going to win a pennant this is the year for them to win, because this looks like And. I think the Sox are ever going to club I have had since my B.

The Hilltop has made no statement as to student achievement, and no fact since the Hilltop is the molder of student sentiment and the outlet of student opinion, and since no adverse student opinion has officially been made, it is just in our belief that none exists. So far as the Hilltop is concerned, the Howard-C. I. A. A. controversy is settled and it is better to have it settled. Granting that the article referred to was really written by a Howard student, it is clearly evident that the writer was either misinformed or not informed.

TAKES ANNUAL GAMES FROM DIXIE No Color Line Shall Bar Colored Athletes In Their Country Says Rubien NEW ORLEANS LOSES BIG ATHLETIC EVENT Baltimore And New York Bids In; Promise Square Deal To All NEW YORK.—New Orleans' insistence upon the color line has led to the removal of the Amateur Athletic Union championships to be held July 1st to 4th to a more northern city. "I had hoped," said Secretary Fred W. Rublen, white, of the Union, "that such a stand would never be taken in America. Colored men in the past have competed for the United States in the Olympic games anyway. Now high honors there. What a strange situation to refuse them the right to compete in the national games of their own country." Both Baltimore and New York have sent in bids for the games which are the biggest athletic track and field meets in the country and establish the American title holders. The Daily News in commenting upon the situation, said, this week, that Mr. Hobart will be on for the withdrawal of New Orleans. It is the holier that the superior white gentlemen can be counted on to raise whenever he is on board, having his colored brother a square deal. "He stands up and treats race rallies in the manner of the State Department hollowing him out," he responds to the fireplace for his trusty blunder-bust prepared to save the Nordics. "The city of New Orleans would be ordered to be ordered the ordered man of New Orleans is only waiting for DeHart Hubbard to make a winning jump in the gulf city to the machete and automatic and go faster.

B. Taylor, national quarter-miler, representing the University of Penn was threatened with lynching if the jared himself was against the protestants in the A. A. U. games at Jamestown, Va. Mr. Taylor went through it, set a new record and established himself the quarter-miler the world has ever seen. **1910** Southerners who protested against the University of Penn were 17 years ago, demanded of President James E. Sullivan that all colored athletes be barred. President Sullivan told the protestants to read the American Constitution and the A. A. U. rule. In 1914 When the championships were held in Baltimore in 1914, a southern from the University of Virginia and admit that he raced a colored man. Then President Sullivan reported that the colored man would not be prepared to show superiority in the actual competition it might be better for him withdraw. Among colored athletes who have held national titles are Howard Drew, and Irving Howe in the 1914 Olympics.

Thoughts Of The Founder In telling people what you have to sell, tell the truth about it. Do not advertise one thing and sell another. If you do you will soon find out that you will lose trade and your patrons will go to the other fellow. If it is cheap tell the people why it is cheap. Do not sell seconds for first-class goods. You may be able to fool some of the people once or twice, but you will not be able to fool them long. They will get on to you and you are a goner sooner or later. It is a well understood fact that good goods cannot be sold for cheap goods. Good goods always cost whatever they are worth. The Election Ballimore elects a Mayor and City Council Tuesday and in addition passes upon the advisability of creating several millions of dollars in bond issues to erect several schools, a library, improve the system of conduits and the water supply. On the question of the candidates for mayor, the AFRO advocates the election of William Curran, Catholic and Democrat. Of all people, we believe that a man's religion should have nothing to do with his qualifications for public office. The Democrat party is the party of faith and efficiency. The present Mayor Howard W. Jackson has served the city well. His successor has the advantage of building upon Mayor Jackson's record and therefore the opportunity for further improvement. So far as Mr. Jackson is concerned, the opponent of Mr. Curran is concerned, these columns said four years ago when the Mayor Browning was seeking reelection: "In some respects, Mr. Broening has made good as mayor, but he failed in the pinches. We will never forget the spectacle of the Kei Klan marching through the streets when Mayor Bill Clinton could have resigned upon the permitting order." If it was the judgment of 10,000 colored voters and a majority of other citizens that Mr. Broening was a failure as chief executive four years ago, wherein does his excellence now lie? The City Council, the city is normally democratic. Except in the Fourth District Republicans haven't the slightest chance for success. In this district, the AFO recommends the election of Messrs. Berson, McQuinn and the Republican. Our theory is that have the votes and are entuited to representation in the city council. While we favor this combination, we are in no sense sanguine about it, unless and until we white men combine the suit is necessary, getting his group to put in as much as they get out. Three similar combinations in this district have failed by close majorities but in each case only the colored members of the combine were left at home. As to the loans, the AFRO advocates for all seven of them. Especially is attention called to the $10,000,000 school loan of which $1,800,000 must be used for colored schools. Additional conduits, airport, increased water supply, improved sewerage, paving and grading of streets, additions, a new library building represents extensions and improvements in the national line of progress. Vote the loans. Vote for Curran for mayor. Vote for Emerson, McGunn, Ellison in the fourth district. Vote for the seven loans. Constitution Is 'Scrap Of Paper' No. Mr. Negro, you have not voted in Louisiana and you are not going to vote. There remain within the back of this great state enough white men to shoulder guns when the occasion demands to prevent you from casting a ballot. Should you wish to obtain your "international rights," you might later learn that the Negro under-taking partors of your vicinity will be filled with those of your race who have gone to another land to acquire your privileges. (Columbia, D. C. Press) The members of the Maryland Inter-Racial Commission are to be congratulated upon the thoroughness of their work and for the spendid report to the Governor of the General Assembly. Advocacy of the remedial legislation recommended would have brought to Governor Nichols in the state the lead-bearer of his party, the votes of many thousand colored persons in the doubtful northern and border areas, and many were concentrated upon the 157 delegates from the solid South. His vision was obscured, and he lost an opportunity that cannot be reiterated. Page Sixteen Call Vernon 6016 Welfare and the Square Deal Afro-American Building, 628 N.

If every bishop of the A. M. E. Church shall reserve the right to follow in the footsteps of Bishop A. J. Carey of Chicago, who has been quoted in dispatches this week as accepting the post of William Service Commission Mayor William Hale Towersman, what to become of the church? The same question was put up to Bishop A. J. Gregg last year when he offered the position as president of Howard University. Bishop Gregg declined after consultation with his fellow bishops, giving as his reason that he had dedicated himself to work in the church but obligated to his church and his diocese. Bishops of the A. M. E. Church are underpaid if he regard the salary $3,800 as all of their annual income. The presidency of Howard University pays $10,000 and home. Chicago Civil Service Commissioners draw $1,500 a year. This is a question for the church to determine if it pays enough and if it can pay more. The church in this case must decide also if it can afford to permit its bishops to engage in other secular activities while still engaged in episcopal supervision. Each of these spheres is a full time job requiring the bishops and wise judgment of a single individual. In fact bishops of the church have protested they have been overworked and efforts have been made to lighten their burdens by the naming of additional presiding elders as supervisors. If perchance Bishop Carey shall decide to continue in both places with the consecrated church and the church of Chicago, will he not in the end wind up with a physical breakdown, or fail both as bishop and commissioner? If the civil service post is regarded by the people of Chicago as of prime importance, might it not be wisdom to ask the church to give Bishop Carey leave of absence to Grant that Bishop Carey can and will hold both posis doing the work of two men and doing it well, will not the precedent established in this case prove an incentive to other members of the bench to do likewise? Certainly it seems so. When the church becomes a side issue and a stepping stone to the fathers of the church, how can it expect to flourish or they hope to hear the voice of Jehovah. Don't Blame Kip The AFRO received a communication of fifteen words from Mrs. Alice Kip Rhinelander this week. Of the fifteen words, our were misspelled through the "ouey", "mour", and "muse" (news). We wonder if Kip objected to the color of Alice as much as he did to her spelling. So's Your Old Man *(Editorial Bulletin (A. N. P.)* "So's Your Old Man." Since the Chicago City election, The Chicago Tribune carried an editorial under the above caption. The Tribune quoted from various newspapers commenting on the election, "low moral and civic conditions in the world's fourth city." Newspapers, with a "hoomer than the sleeve," from every city, gave Chicago a kick in the sitting part of pandalos. The Literary Digest, sometimes called English controllers, took pains against Chicago's election, and said little of favor, while quoring at length from a mere campaign sheet called "The Emancipator," as representing Negro Chicago's view. After reading all this adverse puffle about Chicago's "baseness," we join The Tribune in saying "So's your old man." A great white man once said: "A colored man is as good as a white man, and no better. We paraphrase: CHICAGO IS AS GOOD AS ANY OTHER CITY, AND NO BETTER. New Books Life Story Of John L.

JONES City Campaign Young men and women in Baltimore should follow carefully the issues and factors of government involved in the present mayoralty and councilmatic campaign in Baltimore. In the councilmatic fight there are no issues involved of serious consequences and voters are interested that they may have friends at court. So far, none of the councilmatic candidates have outlined any definite policies. You don't know whether they will work to close up corruption or instead use their cleanup. You can't tell whether they will be on the side of labor or capital, or both, when economic conditions are deteriorating. So no wonder a young man, sitting in a group in the Y. M. C. A. lobby when candidates were speaking in an adoring room indifferently, "what's it all about?" But if the voters in the Fourth District will go to the polls and be councillor, it will be a logical thing to do, not because they have nominated the two candidates BECAUSE THE TICKET IS AN INTELLIGENT AND GOOD ONE. Let the older politicians narrow their activities to partisan politics, but let LEFT VOTE BETTER CONCISEIENCE WITHOUT REGARD, RELIGION, OR PREJUDICE. Mr. Emerson his appeal for votes on the fact that he has had years of political experience in Reagan, Gunin, an able attorney and one time councillor, merely slashes the Democratic opposition. Here in Baltimore they both have many live issues which would have the spirit of those interested in the Mr. Broening Or Mr. Curran But from simple John Smith down in Pearl Aley to his brother who owns a palatial home up-town the more food for serious thought. Time was when young men and women would merely ask Brenning to candidate, BUT THOSE DAYS HAVE GONE FOREVER. The vital question becomes, THOUGH WHAT CANDIDATE CAN YOU GET MOST IN CIVIC WELFARE FOR YOURSELF, YOUR GROUP AND YOUR CITY, YOUR VOTES. When Mr. Brenning was mayor, he undoubtedly did some good things for the group. BUT HE VITAL TITLES GROUP VOTERS HAD A RIGHT TO ASK HIM TO. Do although a rift in the Democratic party at that time made his election possible, his basic vote was Republican and his first obligation was to best camp, promises he made. Although slashing the democratic opponent in the present election, Mr. Bush no longer statement or promise upon which race voters can form any judgment as to what he would do if he were elected by the GEOS NOW WHERE. If Republicans are handcapped in Maryland: if for policy sake they must continue to bow their head to the ground by democratic thought and opinion, THEY CEASE TO BE OF VALUE TO THE GROUP. If the group handicapped, they stood squarily on human rights according to the fathers who made this grand old party they could afford, and this ON PRINCIPLE ALONE. But if for political expediency Mr. Broening saw fit to cringe and mentions, on civil service reform, and on other measures where he had the open opportunity to strike for economic matters. THEN, RACE VOTERS OWE HIM NOTHING AS A REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE TO VOTE FOR POLITICAL EXPEDIENCY. The Democratic Changing Order This brings us to Mr. Curran. If a group of colored voters can offer a liberalism now evident in the Democratic party in Baltimore city, they will do the group a great service. This liberal trend may not be moving as fast as we would like, but IT IS MOVING IN THE REFORMATION MOVEMENT. In 1899 Mr. William Curran favored restrictive practice, in 1927 he stands up firmly and repudiates the administration in which colored citizens will have a definite voice. THAT'S PROGRESS. The Democrat is passing, "Young Turks" like Curran recognize that racial, religious and sectional intolerance are all that must be cut root and body out of American life. IF OUR FORM OF GOVERNMENT IS TO SURVIVE, from the standpoint of practical politics, too, there will be everything to gain in becoming a part of the dominant party in purely local affairs. The theory of good government sets forth that the people express a desire to be more practically conducive to making officials responsive than dependence upon your power. After all, it is a cold question of practical politics. The administration of justice, the government, is constituted here in Baltimore that we can get a greater measure of justice from some good Democrats than we can from weak Democrats. From where this writer stands, a point wholly without the realms of politics, he has no real candidates in all candidates in their speeches and public utterances during the past few weeks. It seems to me that the people are mayor. If he gets a sufficiently big majority to dominate the democratic organization. A NEW POLITICAL PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP. One Solution There can only be one solution to this residential segregation problem. It is that set forth by the form of the Negro Hiring Accepted the Negro and carried on a war to free him, and having made one of the points of our governing mosaic hinge upon that primitivism, we can prove the rights of all our citizenship. Bishop Carey-Chicago Civil Service Commissioner Kin Of Napoleon And Lord Fairfax Prelate Accepts Post In Cabinet Of Mayor Thompson And Gets Ready For Work CHICAGO, ILLL—Bishop A. J.ary and the University of Chicago Carey, of the A. M. E. Church, newly appointed Chicago's civil service committee of mixed blood, says the Chicago Daily journal. Friend of Presidents His forebears include Lord Fairfax personal friend of George Washington, and Archibald Cary, of England. His mother and father both were slaves. His sire was a Methodist preacher and his mother was of amish French descent. His wife took him through Madam Govinia, a niece of the great Napoleon Bonaparte, emperor of France. Bishop Carey was born at Atlanta, Georgia, 806. He says he became interested in politics when he was 10 years old and has been interested ever since. The bishop himself hung civil servant missionaries by newly elected Mayor Thompson. Thirty years. Thirty years. "Tye knew Mayor Thompson for nearly thirty years. I helped elect him alderman.

The Strange Thing About This Letter Is That Senator Bruce's Name Is There Also With Mr. Currants And Senator Bruce is Unhappy Why, Then Pick On Mr. Curran For Something Which Happened 18 Years Ago And Upon Which He Has Long Changed His Views. The Editor: During the past two weeks, I have read with much interest in both of our gatherings which was held at the home of one our leading colored citizens where Mr. Wm. Curran, the mayor of the city, pledged himself to do everything in his power to promote the interest of the colored people of Baltimore to serve the city. I will to serve notice on us to support Mr. Curran — of course this is their pro-legative. I am of the opinion that the city is a Society Are Not Going. To support Him. Mr. Curran's pledge reminds me of the story of "the Greeks Bearin Gifts" where the thing is more dear to any group of people than the ballot — Every man of semi-intelligence wants to zealously guard this sacred instrument, therefore he must be against Mr. Curran. The Baltimore Sun file copy in issue of October 25, 1909, shows the name of Mr. Wm. Curran among a number of men who had been questionnaires for the purpose of ascertaining as to whether they favored the Digges amendment which was designed to disfranchise Mr. Curran's name appears close to the top of the column among the names of the lawyers who endorsed this infamous amendment, which is the history of the indentured servants in the days of slavery had it passed in the legislature the following November. It is not logical to believe that Mr. Curran has a change of heart in eighteen years. I have voted the Democratic ticket for more than twenty years. Two of the best with the best record in the State of Maryland, and Mayor Jackson. Mr. Bruce for any outstanding Democrat in the country, would not expect me or any other sensible man to support Mr. Curran with such a Mr. Curran's record approves to the disfranchisement amendment is enough to cause colored voters rebukes him. He has lived in spending to his bring about such measures as would ston the political advancement of our people. No man took a greater part or displayed a greater understanding of the fourth district than Mr. Curran. On what record does he ask the suffrage of colored people? Henry F. Arold. Says Some Leaders are Urging Cut in Councilmanic Ticket. To the Editor: In some of our Republican leaders in the 4th Councilmanic District are advising publicly and otherwise, the defeat of one of our local candidates. That is unfair, over-candidate. We are sure should get the untriting support of that party at the general election, since the primaries are only a preparatory for the general election. Members of Frederick Douglass when he said: "We are slain in the house of our friends." Some of the individuals who are advising us to cut the ticket have assailations themselves for political elevation therefore, if you wish to your fellowman, for you are likely to fall in the same yourself. My advice is to vote the whole Republican ticket, thereby showing you are good loyal citizens to the Republican party and the municipality. ary and the University of Chicago and Wilberforce.

Heard and Seen In Baltimore By RALPH MATTHEWS The New York police "pulled" a musical comedy company because of too much mudity. When the case was haled on the jam, the insisted on seeing the bare facts. The girls swore that the cops couldn't get anything on them. That was why they were arrested. When the patrol wagon backed up to the stage door on the jersey and in front of it, she said the last rud she was in they made her stand up all the way to the station house. One girl said she had a bunch of clothes on. Her costume was made of bananas. Another girl proved that her clothes weighed fifty pounds. She wore an iron hat and a string of beads. Chorus girls have a tough time; if they are modest they lose their jobs and if they are immodest they go to jail. But it turns to look up chorus girls for not wearing clothes and let the other women get away with murder. If mudity is really a crime half the parents ought to be behind the bars. If police make chorus girls wear more clothes on the stage, a girl can get a better break for his money. Men used to have to wait until the wind blew to get a glimpse of shapely limbs. They don't any more because the skirts are so that the wind can't find them. If the cops put handcuffs on some of the chorus girls they would think they were over dressed. In former days in order to get on the stage an actress had to display her talent. Nowadays she has to display everything she has. Girls used to be given voice tests before they were taken on but modern attention to shapes than they do to shapers. Men used to use their ears in musical comedies but now they only use their eyes. Scientists say there will be more blind men in the next few years than ever before. The old fashioned girl was content with posing in these days of the "Shimmy" and "Blackbottom", a girl used to use parts of her anatomy that the old fashioned girl never knew existed. The only part of a chorus girl's body that she doesn't use is her head. They may be dumb but if you wear them they are deaf try asking them to dinner. They can hear a plate rattle a mile off and smell a beetleskin before it reaches the pan. The words used most in their vocabulary are "when do we eat?" Chorus girls may have their faults, but the kind of clothes they wear proves that they don't try to cover up anything. They are big hearted and would give you the shirt off their backs but they don't wear any. The sexy attire of chorus girls is saying that a woman can't keep a secret. Jim Hayseed's Mild Musings By OBIE McCOLLUM Rode the cars the other day And just across the aisle And I wore a dress and gay, Who wore a leaming hat, With her elf daughter sat, Happy cherub, pink of cheek, Young eyes bright and face round Fad, and she dared to me to speak.

Kelly Miller Says Mr. Garvey believes that the racial prejudice of the Anglo-Saxon is so deeply imbedded in acquired emotions, if not in natural instinct, that no amount of moral sausage or coercive force which the Negro can command, will have any sensible effect upon it. Race consciousness is likely to become keener and more exclusive and that opportunities of the white man's civilization will be reserved more and more for the sons and daughters of their own kith and kin. After Marcus Garvey—What? At this stage Mr. Garvey appeared to be a crass pragmatist, relying wholly upon the instrumentality of material agencies to accomplish his goal. He hoped to develop race consciousness through race patronage, and co-operative enterprise. Grocery stores, laundries, restaurants, hotels, and other organizations under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. These all failed as fast as they were founded. But the fanatic is never daunted by failure. Mr. Garvey could hope that the operation of a few shops in Harlem could seriously affect the fate of the continent of Africa surpasses normal limits when whit abashed by the failure of his business ventures, the undaunted dreamer forthwith proceeded to launch the "Black Star Line" of steamships to trade with the West Indies and with the continent of Africa, a stupendous act The combined genius and wealth of America has not been able to operate competently in the fangagium and faith of Marcus Carvey performed miracles in inspiring his followers with confidence and zeal for the impossible. As fast as one seems to do, he can go up a pave for another. After all, there may be subtle madness in Mr. Carvey's seeming madness. It is easier to focus attention upon a concrete project than upon an ab A line of steamships touching African and West Indian ports, conveying not only material resources but also the racial unity, was calculated to make a powerful appeal to the mind and imagination of his unorthodox sophistication followers and to give him a great risk when he ventures the success or failure of his propaganda upon a single pitch and throw involved a concrete enterprise. Its success in the perilous, its failure forefathows his doom. U. N. I. A. Had 4.000.000 Members About 1920 the Garvey Movement was at the height of its power. It had spread among the Negroes like wildfire—the movement Association claimed an enrollment of four million members, Confined at first chiefly to West Indians, it swiftly overran that limitation and both African Americans and reinforcements from foreign countries. The movement appealed most strongly to the humber and less well-educated of the race. This line of cleavage followed somewhat closely the intra-racial colour scheme and included a far larger number of the darker than or the lighter than the Marcus Garvey was attempting to draw the col-favour of the fuller-blooded West our line against the mulatto in the imputation of acquaintance with American. Negroes, with insistence upon the absolute equality of all shades without prejudice against or preference for any other. The "Black Star Flag" was still living upon the sen- The new gospel proclaimed not only the redemption of Africa, but the welding into homogeneous political, economic and social unification. The sons of African blood, now scattered abroad among the nations of the earth. Available statistics fail to account for more than half of the African Africans, direct or derivative; but statistics never please the fanatic. Provisional President Of Africa The time had now arrived for a spectacular demonstration. If the Kingdom of Africa is at hand, its immaculacy must be impressed upon the minds of the people in form of visible inauguration. Mr. Garvey called a convention of the faithful to meet in New York City for the entire month of August, as the mayor of the council. Delegates were invited from all parts of the world where peoples of African blood were known to reside. Thousands of representatives from all parts of the streets of New York turned a spectacle unrivalled in the history of Negro pageantry. The deficiencies of the gathering consisted in the glorification of Garvey and his businesses. Garvey, the black, was monarch of all that he surveyed. No Negro has ever reached such a pinnacle of renown with so great a following at his feet. Unfriendly Rivalry It was in 1921 in the presence of six thousand of his followers and admirers in "Liberty Hut", that he founded the University of the Empire of Africa, Garvey himself was crowned President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and Provisional President of Africa, and he was appointed Supreme Deputy Potentate constituted the royalty of the Empire of Africa. Knights of the Nile, Knights of the Distinguished Sergeant Major of the Opium and Dukes of the Niger and of Uganda, constituted the nobility. The Aurust Court was set up and actually functioned for seventy years and barbaric splendor of oriental porp and display. The Negro's penchant for mini display was abundantly appeased. It was abundantly appeased. But pride goeth before a fall. The inevitable end was near. Dissension broke out within the ranks on the right hand and on the left hand in the kingdom always precipitates unfriendly rivalry among the disciple. But even were easily settled by the last word of the President-General. Mr. Garvey's personal aversion to his following that no other name than his figures conspicuously in the movement. And Negro Leaders The Afro-American intelligence rose up in righteous rage and disgust at what seemed to be the absurd and ridiculous antics of us. There exists fundamental opposition beween the philosophy of Marcus Garvey and that of the educated American Negor leaders. Their whole teaching is based upon the hope to enforce by appeal the white man's conscience, reason and aroused sense of righteousness. Mr. Garvey believes that the raciation is so deeply imbedded in the emotions, that on amount of moral stuation or coercive force which the Negro is so deeply imbedded in the sensible effect upon it. He believes that race consciousness is likely to become keener and more exclusive, and that the opportunities of the Negro will be observed more and more and the daughters of their own skin and kin. He looks upon the struggle for racial equality as little and the Negro must build on his own apart from the white man's foundation, if he ever hopes to be a master builder. He looks to the mother of their mothers across the sea for future growth and expansion. Sought Conference With Ku Klux Klan In the United States the African sojourners will never be permitted to rise above the level of hewers of wood and drawers of water. In the United States with the rules of the Ri Kiu Klan, and found himself in accord with the hooded order on this basic proposition of racial relations though each side reached the same conclusion by different processes of reason. This doctrine of inebriated subordination, naturally enough, aroused the bitterest antagonism of the Afro-American leaders who opposed all their hopes on the opposite arrogation. Enthusiasm For Mother Land Again, Mr. Garvey was, with frenzied fanatism, in the comment of Africa as the designed end of the relations of the black race who are now sojourning among the white nations of the earth. The educated Afro-American has little interest in other-motherland. Frederick Douglas epitomized this sentiment in the sententious saying: "I have none of the banana in me" Dr. Douglas trying for a number of years to promote a Pan-African Congress for the discussion of the race question on a world-wide scale. There are areas where he is not if a Negro in America who have envisioned any genuine enthusiasm or passionate interest for Garvey's mission. Negro resents as a reflection upon his American birthright any suggestion that he has a special and peculiar interest in the dark from which his blood was derived in whole or in part. Had God Painted Black At the climax of antagonism, Mr. Garvey took up the apotheosis deficits as a office to the existing deficits as a service to have God painted black. This caused a violent rebellion of feeling on the part even of those who had been down and worship at the shrine of a colour alien to their own. Mr. Garvey believed that not only do we need an image, but that man, in his turn, makes God in his own likeness. Every race ascribes to its deity its own mental and moral physical harm to the higher power of perfection. Mr. Garvey believes that the adoption of the differences of the white man portrayal of God paralyzes the Negro's racial self-respect. This was an audacious innovation which the intelligence had never had either the passion or the discernment to consider. The sympathy of their hands created disgust at such a revolting harshness.

Kargrove, the trainee, the trig. The gun could, but failed to explode. He clicked it again with results. "What's wrong with this thing?" he wore lighter than he turned it to examine it. His fingers moved慢慢地. There was a sudden flicker of light in his own face. He took the floor, the revolver flying open his hand and landing at Delph's feet. For a moment the latter stood armored. Cleo, who was held under his knees, groaned. He lifted her hand, then stepped to recover the pistol that as he lifted it, still sinking from the floor, there was a sudden commotion, and two officers followed by Report and a group of tenants broke into the room.

"That one think I am guilty?" she said, rarely the State will arrest me without my aid, and ban me from the eyes of friends, and am through with you. Why don't you seek aid from the person who is responsible for your condition? "That isn't what I am doing," she said. "Kaye will be responsible for your ideas, your spending, your airs!

"Mr. Clifford, your proposition does not interest me in the least. I love Leslie and call it all I love. I shall call at the hall, this very afternoon." Robucked and deserved by Joyce, Kayne was seized by the old hate for all womankind. He was just in that frame of mind when Cleo called, "Well, I gues you come with some more of your darned dog to take over water," he greeted her suitily, "No, Leslie," she said sympathetically, "I have come to aid you." "Well, you can keep your kind of aid, I hate you worse than I have to give you," he said me. Why Leslie, I thought you —you cared —thought that after this was all over we would go away together and start new. We could be so happy, you and L. "You could not be happy with the rest of you on earth, when you did if you would lure me to my death like you did your first husband. Get out. I never want to see you again."

The courtroom was pucked with lawyers, teachers, doctors, and men and women in all walks of life, as her bench. In all the pristine conditions could detect him, in all the friendly face. The court had offered to provide counsel but Kayne was so satisfied in the clearness of his case that he chose to defend himself. "We shall prove to you, gentlemen of the jury," began the prosecutor in his opening statement. "What on the October 15th did Kayne, the traverser in this case did willfully kill and murder with premeditated malice foreseen one Doctor J. Pendleton Harruave, an elderly and respected physician, when he recounted him in a humorous position with his wife in a hotel room.

" said the State prosecutor and when assured that Kayne had no witnesses, but his own testimony, proceeded to plead the case. He summed up the damaging testimony into a more damaging and convincing whole and when he had taken his seat, Kayne arose. I rise not, gentlemen of the jury to sweep you with flowery oratory. I rise merely to plead the case of my client, who in this case happens to be myself. I rise not to change your mil is if you have already formed an opinion as to the innocence or guilt of the accused, far better you send an innocent man to the gallows than go forth from this court room. Please that you have not done your duty by the community you represent. Kayne paused a moment to see what effect his first words had on those cold relentless faces of one twelve-year-old boy he had faced. If his straightforward attitude had made any impression on them at all, it was not revealed by their features. Realizing that he was now waging an attack against him, he monedal-all of his faculties to his assistance, he was momentarily disconcerted by the unexpected testimony of Cleo Hargave, but controlled his feelings and anger, knowing that he would keep a cool head. He began again. "Let me confess to you gentlemen that I fully realize the incriminating circumstances under which I was arrested, and that I was a man's wife.

Why cannot you bring themselves to be married in this mission there was not you are probably asking yourselves, of a sensual nature? "Why do I argue in this fashion when I am on trial for murder and not adultery? For this reason. So long has illicit love and murder gone hand in hand that men naturally arrive at the conclusion that if a man is guilty of the one he is guilty of the other. Therefore if I can convince you that no such murder existed in my marriage and myself I create a doubt concerning the murder by proving that I had no motive for killing the doctor. "I went that room to obtain a loan from Mrs. Hargrave. To accept money from a married woman may be considered by some a breach of the moral code, yet I entered into the river and drowned in the river, and escape a more horrible death, would you be branded as a suicide? No. That was my situation exactly. I was faced with financial ruin and disgrace. I took a chance on a lesser disgrace to save myself from another. I took steals from the man to sustain life but guilt of harency in the same sense as the man who steals for gain. In a similar way the man who invades the cancidity of another's home when forced by necessity cannot be looked upon with the man who deserves the man who does physical desire and cracks another's happiness. "I could, gentlemen, with justification, put the plea that I was seduced, lured or enticed to that room. I could place the blame for the whole ugly situation on someone you love. You could still will at least have the pleasure of knowing that you sent a real man to the gallows and not a coward who tried to hide behind a woman's skirts. "My story is that Dr. Hargrave murdered because of two things murdered by the committed suicides. Because self-killing is not only suicide when the victim has made up his mind to end his life. I say murdered because of two things: first. Dr. Hargrave had murder in his heart when that gun exploded in only I was to be able to find that bullet when incidentally killed him. If he had not come to that room the tragedy would not have happened, therefore, the person who he or she may be who told him, of our meeting, lead him to that apartment, gave me a volver which as I recalled had been in my car, is really the murderer. "I cannot deny that the revolver was mine, witnesses have told you that they saw the gun in my hand. No one, however, has had the shot, that question must be answered in your own minds. How my revolver came into the possession of Dr. Hargreave is as dark a mystery to me as it "I confess that I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. If this is a violation of the law then punish me in accordance with the crime I have committed, but this indictment calls for murder. If gentlemen, in your deliberation you find that this is the only offense of which you are guilty, and you then acquit me.

I want to give my husband and children the best of all I have. I try to keep the little ones as clean as healthy children can be. not only today's health, but for all of today's bodies the will need to do the things they need to direct their thoughts and feelings so that they may conduct their little lives rightly today and may achieve Godly manhood and womanhood. And through it all and for all I must done many of the tasks of the passing moment. I may spend my strength on things of far-reaching consequences; and at the same time I must keep myself fit to serve my grown boys and girls at a time when they will most need a mother who is keen, sympathetic and strong. To Make A Paint Remover Dissolve 20 parts of caustic soda (98 per cent) in 100 parts of water, and mix this with 20 parts of mineral oil, and stir constantly until thoroughly mixed.

These are symptoms of worms—those deadly parasites which will so quickly ruin a child's health. At the first sign of worms, give your child Frey's Vermifuge. For 75 years Frey's Vermifuge has been America's sale, vegetable worm medicine. Buy it today at your drummist's. Frey's Vermifuge Erick Worms BY E. SMITH LITTLE BITS THAT ARE WORTH WHILE Oil stone or sandpaper should be used to clean ignition points and not emory paper. Do not clean top of car with gasoline or benzene, as the liquids often crack the material. One of the best dressings is made of mixing one part of liquid asphaltum and two parts of castor oil then add one ounce of ivory black to each pint of mixture. Oil should be changed more frequently in winter than summer. Water collects more freely in the winter months. The choke is used more in the winter in starting and this causes excess fuel to enter the cylinders, the unburned portions of which find its way into the oil and dilute it. A starting motor requires any where from 129 to 350 ampères to crank the engine. When buying a used car test the brakes going backward as well as forward. Have some one to drive it and you stand out in front of it. see how true the wheels run. Every motorist should know that it takes more fuel to run his car when his carburator is wrongly adjusted than otherwise. Have it adjusted by an experienced machinist. Every driver should know that oil should be changed while the engine is hot. It is the surest way to get all of the sludge and diluent out of the tank. Unequal brakes cause skidding. It is best to slow up when making a turn or stop. However, don't forget to use your brakes when you need them and save the flowers. Do You Know? What is Direct Current? Direct current (abbreviated D.

Saturday, April 30, 1927 BUSINES A WEEKLY Con Information Bureau: This de ing, business opportunities stock a Dr. Wesley Reca Baltimore City's Largest Colored Bus Employed By Dr. Charles Wesley In His New Book 'Negro Labor In The U. S.' During the war and in the decade immediately after the war, the Negroes, with the wealth which they had acquired through savings, engaged in business as individuals and as groups. A typical group enterprise with which Negro labor was connected was the Chesapeake Marine Railroad and Dry Dock Company. This corporation was organized by Negroes in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1865, and it was in existence until 1883. It was capitalized $40,000. Under the leadership of Isaac Myers, $10,000 was raised in cash and paid as a first payment upon a shipyard. Over 300 Negro mechanics found employment there. Within five years the yard was out of debt. The organization of this company grew out of the presses in the city, where the Negro carpenters by white caulkers. The Negroes were driven out of the shipyards, either by unfair competitive methods, by prejudice or by force. Finally, the carpenters were forced to work in those yards where Negro carpenters were employed. Since there were so few Negro carpenters who were employed in the shipyards, the result was the loss of jobs. The Negroes could own and control a shipyard where their own workmen might labor. Railways were built for docking ships, furnishing warehouses and the Negro carpenters and caulkers began their work. All went well for a decade. Soon the lack of knowledge of manage- Phone: Wolfe 0362 Mrs. Ida Snowden Supervisor to (CHAS. B.

The building of new bungalows and the remodeling of the motor road from Monrovia to Careysburg are among recent activities of the Firestone Pianation Company in Liberia, says the African World. In addition to above improvements that are said to have greatly reduced unemployment, the company has taken over the warehouse and wharf formerly used by the African International Corporation. Almost every scanner bringing burglar or other information to be issued by the company and their active operations have resulted in an increase of the commerce between Liberia and the United States. Many Tourists Arrive The development of the activities are prior to increasing the local staff of the company but is adding considerably to the population of Monrovia. Immigrants and tourists arrive on almost every steamer passing the port. There is also a large rural laborers migrating to the cities. JAMES H.

URBAN LEAGUE MARCH REPORT ON INDUSTRY Bulletin No. 13 of the Industrial Relations Department of the National Urban League summarizes employment conditions for the General Conditions. Employment improved somewhat during March, the advance coming late in the month. The iron and steel plants, in which a large proportion of Negroes are employed showed improvement in Ohio and Pennsylvania. The unemployment periods in the West were eased and the month closed with brighter prospects for April. CONDITIONS AMONG NEGROES Reports from our associates in seated parts of the United States and in employment in working hours almost without exception. This caused a general restlessness with the result that workers moved back and forth among cities within easy reach of each other. Baltimore and Columbus, usually fruitable cities of Negro workers are the best to feel the depression, reported large numbers out of work. Specific reasons were given for the shortage of work among Negroes in certain cities. For instance, in Springfield, Ill., mine lockouts or strikes forced many Negroes to work of whom 225 were Negroes, and in Florida work ordinarily done by Negroes is being taken from them and given to whites, and wages have been out. In Milwaukee the retirement of colored waiters has been forced by patrons of a large hotel. In LABOR Here and there were incidents showing relationship with organized labor. In Baltimore, the Young Workers Labor Party has been especially active—two colored speakers appearing at one of the meetings. One half of the brick-masons of Lexington, Kentucky who received a raise from $1.25 to $1.50 per hour were Negroes. In Philadelphia, through the Armstrong Association there, the co-operation of colored employees was suspended in dispute between the Manufacturer Association and the labor forces of that city. Chicago Visitors Aldermen Louis Anderson, Charles Jackson, both of Chicago, and Mortimer Harris, Robert M. Lewis, of Washington, were guests of Thomas R. Smith. They were guests of the Mu-so-lit Club, in Washington Tuesday night. TRI-UNE Makes Your Feet Happy TRI-UNE is a clear, white liquid and relieves all external foot troubles. S. G.

Barber Porters Too Polite LOS ANGELES, CAL. — A movement, said to have been started by a letter in the Morning News to have the legislature pass an anti-tipping law aimed at barber shop porters, is being watched by citizens here. The proposed law would make it felons or misdemeanor for a too polite porter to give the customary attentions to patrons of the shop. FING $1.00 Weekly Roofs Cost You More Than w Roof. AY—ESTIMATES FREE EXPERT ROOFERS GOOD MORNING JUDGE Won't Mix Springtime, lovemaking, a five cent bowl of soup and the disappearance of $50 were the fragments of a plot that resolved in Betty Jenkins, 505 E. Pratt street, being baked into the Criminal court on > larcen charge, Thursday, according to the testimony of Charles Brown, white, who conducts a restaurant at 1500 E. Pratt street, he was behind the counter when the girl entered and ordered a bowl of soup. The soup came out, but it returned with five cents. She offered to return with the money later but when Brown proved a cash dealer she resorted to her charms to obtain thrust and put her arms around him loving him up a bit. Brown, who admitted that he was not adverse to love loved, discover that when she had gone $50 had been in his pocket had disappeared also. The girl, however, denied the charges and was dimissed. Who Struck Helen? Is The Question "Who hit you in the eye?" asked the Magistrate in the Northwestern Police Station, Monday morning when Helen Briscoe, 101 Winsterchester street, appeared before him with a butted biker, before Charles Simmons, 101 Winsterchester street. "Now judge, don't go arriving at the conclusion that Charles did it because he and I were standing there arguing, when the officer came up, because he never even touched me, who did it," demanded the Magistrate. "It was this way," faltered the girl "Charlie and I were at a part$ and I was talking to him and some strange girl came along and asked me why I was talking to Herman. Before I could answer she struck me in the eye". I "think," said the Magistrate "that you boy friend there struck you himself and you are trying to shield him, but I will give you the benefit of the doubt and fine you both $1 and costs. Blood is thicker than water, but even the nearest kin can have their difficulties. This was shown when Mary Byrd. 524 Pearl Street, and Milinda Andrews, of Geneva and Boulder, baled into the Northwestern on charges of trying to despoil each other's beauty by the process of hair pulling, scratching and biting. How does it happen that you two sisters are fighting? asked the Magistrate when the pair were arraigned before him. Monday. "It was this way judge," said Mary, "when my sister takes a few drinks she gets mean and starts trouble. She says he and me are bad and that's all there was to it." "Well, you didn't have to use a lamp to tap me with," chimed in Milinda. "You are right about that." said the Magistrate. You had not started, you would not have been hurt. You are equally guilty of disturbing the peace, so I fine you both $5 and costs, each," said His Honor. FINED FOR DISORDERLY CONDUCT AND DISTURBING THE PEACE Anna Stanley, 29, S.

Despite the dirty and laborious work these boys have to do, bathing facilities are provided only once a week. "The boys are there from the ages of 10 to 21. I went into a room where there were 75 little boys. The teacher, poorly educated himself, tried to have one of the youngsters stand up and read. But they couldn't. They have had no educational advantages whatever. whenever the conditions at the institution are shameful. If I weren't a minister I would tell what kind of a shame it is." Rev. Bragg Speaks The Rev. Dr. George P.

Broening To the Volters of Baltimore: In a political advertisement yesterday afternoon William F. Browning, Republican candidate for Mayor, among many misstatements, said the following: "He (Mr. Curran) has rested his case entirely upon the influence of 'Rob' Ennis and his clique; 'Tom' Smith, the colored underworld leader, with whom he has been in frequent contact, and ill-founded statements in display advertisements." The last time "Ton" Smith was in my office, some weeks ago, he was accompanied by Bishop A. I. Gaines, of the African M. E. Church, in the interest of Provident Hospital for Colored People. This hospital is greatly in need of funds to continue the splendid work it has been doing among colored people. I succeeded in raising the sum of $13,000 for the hospital. If I or any of my friends are to be condemned by Mr. Breening for this act of mine, I do not know how we can reply except by making the facts known. They Endorse Curran WE, The undersigned citizens of the United States and the City of Baltimore, believing fully in every right that citizenship bestows, have decided to vote our interests and not our prejudices. WE BELIEVE that whatever will add to the general prosperity and good government of the City of Baltimore will be beneficial to us. MANY OF US know the Honorable William Curran personally; we have had the opportunity to learn of this young man's remarkable business ability and to know his absolute fairness and lack of petty prejudice. He has demonstrated his fearlessness in many a hard fought battle in defending the rights and liberties of the most humble clients in our Courts of law. He is a man of the people and his sympathies are with the people; he has promised, if elected, to be the Mayor of all the people. He has promised to continue the sound business policies and "square deal to all" of our present Mayor, the Honorable Howard W. Jackson. WE BELIEVE HIM THEREFORE, we pledge William Curran our votes, and promise to use every honorable means within our power to further his candidacy for the next Mayor of Baltimore. JOHN HURST, BISHOP A.

Mrs. White told the Magistrate, that Jackson with whom she had been living for some time, came home drunk and started a quarrel. Thinking she could sober him up, she threw a pan of cold water in his face. This had an effect on her, than she had intended and he retaliated by hurling a lamp at her. Jackson stated that he was the star boarder in the White home, and had been a personal friend of Mrs. White for about six years. Joseph Evans On Grand Jury Joseph P. Evans. 110 W. Biddle street, has been named a member of the Grand Jury for the May term One Of The Most Important Elections In The History Of Baltimore. To the Editor of The Surn—Sir: The citizens of Baltimore stand before one of the most important elections in the life of the growing city. The tax question has been thrashed out on both sides to such an extent that even the Republican candidates admit taxes are a necessary evil. Will the citizens of Baltimore Tuesday, May 3, submit to a reincarnation of the colored element in the street cleaning and other departments? Shall colored employees be used as a decoration of the new and the old City Hall? Does anybody remember the insolence of the colored population during the Malster administration? Shall the white man—the taxpayer—stand back? Think of it. It is the welfare of the city as a whole which is at stake. The next Mayor has the supervision over the expenditure of many new loans, if they are approved at the next election. And all the colored people from the South would welcome a Republican administration in Baltimore. I respect the Republican candidate for Mayor as a very able and strictly honest man, but he must submit to the dictation of his party, if elected, and so must the Democratic candidate. The foul whisperings of bigotry have too long been tolerated; it could be applied with equal force to the other side. Every Democrat should vote the Democratic ticket for the good of the city, including the colored brethren. A. F. TRAPPE. Baltimore, April 23, 1927. Published by authority.
