"There they are in most instances, helpless, clothesless, most of them destitute having in this case on the one hand, the children everywhere, sleeping ten and fifteen in a tent, while the government through the Red Cross works hard to provide food and temporary shelter. "All of these camps are closely guarded by militia. It was necessary for us to get a pass in order to go to another pass in order to come out. "The Red Cross explanation of this is that close guarding is necessary for us to get a pass in order to go to another pass in order to come out. "Refugees themselves, many of whom rent on farmlands, believe that close guarding is done to prevent them from leaving and finding more pleasant homes elsewhere. "Farmers for the first time.

This labor, kept in ignorance, poorly housed and in virtual peonage, is now out for funds, independent of the Red Cross. "In each of the communities."

ISAAC C. GANNISTER, Manager INQUIRY ASKED INTO SANITY OF RAPIST NEW TRIAL DENIED; NO GROUNDS FOR APPEAL WASHINGTON, D. C.—The District Supreme Court will be asked to inquire into the mental condition of Philip Jackson, who is under sentence to be electrocuted Friday, July 1, for a criminal assault upon Mrs. Daisy Welling, white in the Capitol grounds on the night of February 18. Attorney John H. Wilson, who defended Jackson by assignment of the court, declared Monday that he does not believe the convicted man is of sound mind. He said that he would punish the man by incarring the law of Jackson before the law exacts the death penalty. Jackson is 30 years of age, evidently an adult. He has of low intelligence, practically illiterate, being barely able to sign his name. On the witness stand he appeared stupid in testifying in his own behalf. A motion for a new trial on the ground of improper conduct by Assassin K. Collins referring to Jackson in the course of his argument to the jury as a "brute" was first overruled Justice Hoehling. Assassin K. Collins notated an appeal and asked the court to grant him sufficient time to perfect his appeal to the District Court of Appeals, prior to the date for the execution of Nick Eagles, Sam Moreno and John Proctor, all white men, the defense's lawyer, W. Busch Justice Hoehling indicated that for the electrocution of Jackson, Jackson had been given a fair trial and complimented Mr. Wilson upon which he handled the defense. Execution Delayed The inquiry of the severity of Jackson and the appeal will probably delay his execution. Legal opinion, however, is that there are little or no grounds in the case to believe the penalty statically. He and nothing to say when the court clerk asked him if he had anything to say why senators should not be imposed upon him. After the date for his execution he told Attorney Wilson that he had been sent to prison to have him attend to. He seemed not to realize that in less than two months the law had said that he was to be burned down. First he Be Electroced. Jackson will probably be the first person to be electrocuted in the District. He was punished to be charged from beginning to end of electrocution January 30, 1925. No one as yet has been electrocuted in the District all. The death of the prisoner has death have taken an appeal and is not likely that their case will be heard next. Herbert L. Copeland was the last person to be hanged here. COMMENCEMENT DATES FIXED WASHINGTON. D. C.

This Bible verse was supplied by Franklin Johnson, a member of Mt. Calvary Baptist Church. WEEKLY SERMON PROPHECY By the Rev. E. Y. Mullins of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Ky. Eye hath not seen, nor car heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared or them that lioned in the wilderness. All things are possible to him that believeth. Mark 9:23. Both these texts show that contrast between the testimony of the senses and the discoveries of faith. Eye hath not seen, nor car heard, that faith penetrates beyond senses and discovers new words. I had the pleasure recently of hearing an address by a scientific man on the subject of Soil Science, especially interesting forecast of the possible course of scientific achievement. Many things were foreseen, and there were among them were chemical production of food in various forms, the cheapening of light and power, the poses, the conquest of cancer and other diseases, the increase of speed limits on land and sea and communication between the planets of our solar system. These and other possible advances in power were confidently affirmed. These prophecies were based upon past achievements. The speaker reminded us of the slowness of the earth's crust, and of the past which later became established facts. Wise men said yellow fever and diphtheria would never be mastered. In earlier days the air was absurd and absurd idea. The idea of the navigation of the air was ridiculed as crack-brained. One prophet said among the wildest dreams that the earth was already full grown. No genius new force would be discovered. And yet men went on discovering new laws. Today science is more eager and alert and purposeful than ever. All along the way it has been a conflict between sense and faith. Bethel A.M.E. Church SUNDAY, MAY 15th QUARTERLY MEETING DAY Dr. P. J.

The truth has graduated emergence that the unimaginable storehouse of forces, of lawful gifts from God to man, awakening his discovery. Religion and science work. Faith has large capacity for belief. Both learn from once that doubt paralyzes while faith stimulates. Doubt of course has its place as a means towards truth. It projects against illusion and reality and self-deception. But doubt by itself tends to paralyze, while faith is a very sharp spur to effort. The human mind and the unimaginable storehouse of forces each other. They match each other the glove matches the hand for which it is made. The unseen unheard, unspected forces are all about a photographic plate. Wrapped to these facts and forces and the right focus is attained it registers them. Every new fact and law we discover is a fresh proof of the unseen unheard than our speaking to us through the things that are made. The music of the orchestra is not music to any except those who are not so naive to some animals, which are offended by it. The leader may be hidden from the audience behind the curtains in players on the instruments see in the book through them he impresses his mind upon the hearers. God is the hidden leader of the great orchestra of the universe. The outreaching of the divine mind is but the reflection in us of the infinite. Now just as faith knows so limitly what it may discover in physical universe, just as the mind of man is made for nature, so also, the soul of man is made for God in Christ. In him, says Paul, is hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. The spiritual faculty of God, out of faith surpasses love and is the great reveler of spiritual riches.

Says State Should Take Over Storer CHARLESTON, W. VA.—Mrs. Wm. Drewery of Clark is the only city councilwoman of the state and wife of the U. S. Pentagon Spotlight is thrown on Mrs. Drew Negro life just issued by the Beuah Negro life just issued by the Beuah Negro welfare and the same recount shows that there are councilmen and five states in various sections of the state. Among the postmasters A. C. Spurlock in Westchester, ROSA Harper Brown Institute; Mrs. Carrie Brown Denmar and Mrs. Jessie and Mitchell, Watoga. Office Holders Some ideas in the report in which it distributes its municipal state offices among the race map is shown by the report which three justices of the peace, three deputy sheriffs, and three patrolmen, and there are 38 employees attached to the State Executive Department, including a director of the Bureau of Welfare and Deputy Harper, and another Howard Harper, in the office of Delegates. Two-thirds of men over sixteen are engaged in mining. In 1925, 2590 colored men were thus employed. The majority of employed in the state in practically all of the counties where矿 is mined in commercial quantities over sixteen years ago. In 1919 it is said to show the efficiency and the competency of colored miners and their value and importance in the farming however, is not an inexorable means of livelihood is bound by the fact that of the 14,000 men in the group are owned by them. In the proxuses are listed 62 physicians, 31 pharmacists, 2 chirochirurgists, 25 lawyers and 14 registered Physiclans Needed The report also calls attention to the fact that more physicians are needed in the state. At least 100 more could find lucrative fields, especially in Charleston, more lawyers, pharmacists and nurses is shown by the report. The total population of Negroes throughout the state is 4,000 and 4,000 years there was an increase of 12,000. In Bluefield the own 82.1 per cent of the homes they occupy; in Huntington 60 per cent while in Clarksville and 64.7 and 49.8 per cent respectively. Business activities cover a wide range and the four large insurance companies operating throughout the state are 400,000 of insurance on 11,000 people. Need Educated Ministers One of the great needs as the present time as pointed out by the ministers. Of the more than 400 ministers in the state less than 50 have had two years of more of standard college work and than 100 have had schooling to a standard high school course. While a majority of the ministers in the state are earnest conscientious men, and are serving the spiritual needs of the people, a few of them have any well thought out programs for social welfare, community betterment or children's and youth improvement. With the few exceptions, the ministry, the report says, there is very little hope for improvement in this condition in the near future. The problem seems to be one which the ministers are coming to understand and to address in the local churches and, in this connection the young people who are coming out of high schools and colleges and take activities in the churches and communities may greatly aid in the solution by entering into religious work and creating a healthy sentiment of fellowship among the churches the important, immoral, venous and venal preachers who are disturbances to the cause of religion and the progress of the race. There are seven Negro hospitals in Wa. Storer College Stover College The report highlights that the State take over the maintenance and further development of Stover College, a measure of educational expansion and financial needs of that institution. A weakness pointed out in the national system is the lack of schools. Notwithstanding the fact that two thirds of the people are buried in mines there are no schools in any trade or this industry; the students are all taught branches of this highly important industry. Union And Mining The report is given to the question of the report is given to the question of the question of the Negroes to coal mining. The mine owners have employed a larger number of colored than white mines. This policy followed the mine miners took towards the strike discrimination on the part of the mines a large number of colored miners to defend Logan County, the armed marchers of the Union Miners. Although in the past work has been irregular and the migration from the lowlands increased the number in cases of the demand, since 1925 the work has been reduced without the state and Nero miners have been in constant demand.

Benvenuto Collini. Fra Angelico, Giotto. Lorenzo the Magnificent, an Italian playwright who played the organ in the great cathedral; and Browning, Ruskin. Lowell and many other great American artists and writers also spent considerable time here. Galileo Here also was the home of Galileo, the astronomer, who will be remembered by the Churchmen to sign the famous document, which declared that the earth was flat and did not move around the earth, but that the sun moved around it. Florence was really the home of the Renaissance; so far as artistic interest is concerned, her place in the world that can be mentioned in the same breath with Florence is not the same. Come to Italy and not visit Florence, or Firenze, as it is known here, is like putting your knife in your mouth. You simply don't belong. that you simply don't belong. Tourists Gallop Thru **tourists Gallop** And be sure to tradition the Florentine hotel-keepers wax rich to the tune of several hundred thousand dollars yearly for their service. They book the flock here, know little and care less what it's all about, from the manner in which they gallop through the places. It's here, and that enough. Most of the tourists are English and American, the former do it as a rite, but many do it for the other reasons, that these around them don't know English frankly express themselves.

It warred, and there were some seventy-six palaces in Florence. These palaces were built many centuries ago, and today, look like anything inviting as homes. I at least would much prefer a steam-heated flat in America. But in their day they were the last word in residences. The rich of course, have moved out of most of these palaces, many of which are now used as public buildings. The poor are still building out of these their homes built about the same time, and as builders in those days made little or no PALMER 25 YRS. OLD OPENS 2 BUILDINGS By J. C. HYMAN SEDALIA, N.

GALLOP THRU TO GET TO P provision for getting rid of the waste of the human body by bathing or otherwise, one can imagine how it is. Fancy, as is the case in many sections of Italian and French towns, of having to walk a quarter of a mile or more to a water-closet. Italy Lacks Wood And as these houses as they are made of stone, are icy in winter, and are cold in summer in Italy, as there are almost no trees. At least, I have seen comparatively few. And since Florence is a mountainous city, we now-clad mountains, it is pretty cold. Urinoirs Throughout France and Italy there are public urinaries on the streets. In France they are partly covered, but in Italy, they are entirely open, and the urinals are very clean. Anglo-Saxonized pee-people like myself to use them at first. Wouldn't it be a treat to be able to project one's self into the mind of some of our goody-goody English and Americans who they first see in public. But what is it seeing away from what ought to be one's chief topic in writing about Florence. The Medicls Perhaps the most historical place here is the Duomo, or Cathedral a great structure of bright-colored marble on the exterior with a vast interior. The Duomo remind me of the giant trees of California. In this place really centered the power of the great Medici family, which ruled the duchy for a very long time. Giuliano, was assassinated near the altar at the moment of breaking the Eucharist wafer. One of the conspirators to make sure that the Duke was protected, the duchy was assigned to guard his arm around the Duke's waist as he entered, and said with a laugh: "Your Grace, it seems to me you're getting fat." Savanarola Here also, Savonarola, the great reformer, preached many of his most influential works, and such burning eloquence that he won the people away from the Medici, and that he burns many of their art treasures, particularly their pictures of nude ladies. However, he made the missteps, and he burns his own for mixed politics with his preaching, at least, so historians say, and was burned alive in the public Machlayelli Another famous Florentine was Niccolo Machiavelli, whose book, "The Prince", has been the Bible of almost, every city. It is also that of Mussolini. His theory, in brief, is that "rule by the people" is a pleasant fiction; that as a mass they have about as much intelligence and sense of rejection as they may have been and thrown in the yard; that although they say much about what they want, they wouldn't know their "FROCK DAY" AT WILBERFORCE BY "SECK" SIMMS The Kappa Alpha Pai Fraternity rendered its annual program a shorter auditorium.

An effort is being made to reach every student and parent student, well as friends of Fisk, to bring before their attention the crisis facing the University at the present time. The meeting here will give the alumni and the public opportunity and the first time the new President Elsa Jones, the new President of Fisk. COME RIGHT ON IN Picture 4.

Color Question This city has the scene of a color question between blacks and whites (Biancan and Neri) which raged with even more violence than it did in America because the matched the whites. If I remember rightly, were headed by Dante; and the blacks by Donati. The latter, getting the upper hand, ordered Dante to be burned alive. Dante escaped, and later got even with Donati when he wrote his immortal work, "The Divine Comedy." He made Donati one of the characters, and pictured him the head to the This color dispute, by the way, was about as logical as one between two of the most known Negro ancestry. The followers of Donath, were called Blacks, because they represented the priesthood. The great bell of the cathedral is rung on Holy Thursday, and mothers wait, babies in arm; for the first time the children's eyes are washed at that moment they will never suffer from weak eyes, and that if the children will never be knock-kneed or bow-legged. One of the most picturesque spots in the city is the Frescoed Arno. This bridge, which is over the River Arno, a rapid river which runs thrust the heart of the town, was built in 1810. It is a street, leading to it, are occupied for some distance entirely by jewelry stores, full of watches and beautiful stools. The two leading art galleries are the Bargallo and the Uffizi Palace, both of which contain priceless originals, one of which is Betticelli's. But as to art itself, the persons that seem most interested are the foreigners. And the Florentines can pay more attention to most of the places is about twenty-five cents, which in a country of low wages is equivalent to fifty or sixty cents. The youngest Florentines are also interested in being more interested in dancing, jazz such at it is, and moving pictures than in the staple product (art). But this seems to be the old cry. For the last three centuries, a movement that has been going to the dogs, is it not about time that it arrives? HAMPTON I.

High School Needed Of the 49 pupils 5 were 11 years of age and 10 were 12 years old; the others ranged in years from 13 to 18 years old. In a high-school in the county, Mr. Layne pointed out, because the children turned out of school at this early age, they were not allowed to be stated, he said, that they did not want their children finishing the seventh grade so young. But it is not clear why they were been reduced that the counties will see the necessity of establishing a high school. Hereofore children aged 18 and were ready to get married. Efforts will be made to keep a number of the students in school by special arrangement until a high school can be obtained.

Phone Mad. 7018 Baltimore Churches Invested $542,000 In Edifices During Last Two Years With A Combined Membership Of About 4,600, Eight Churches Will Carry Annual Obligations Of $51 Per Capita For Next Ten Years FAMOUS STAR REVEALS Page Six If every one of the listed 4,600 members of eight churches, which have taken over obligations for new church edifices during the last two years do their full duty, they will contribute to the "lower right hand corner" of their church bill just about $51 each per year for the next years required to wipe out the obligation. Experienced pastors, however, say that the real work of the church is the maintenance of the listed membership, and figuring on this basis, the faithful few will find about $102 instead in the "lower right hand corner" provided. Correspondence of these churches is wiped out in the next ten years. The per capita obligations may be reduced, of course, from extra efforts, which include concerts, special rallies, and other activities in which church and the general public take part.

O. 28 Compa The $3, ANNU $542,000 Invested During the last two years, eight churches have bought edifices as follows: Morning Star Baptist Church, Morning Star Avenue, $30,000; Macedonia Baptist Church, Fremont and Lafayette avenue, $100,000; Payne Memorial A, $100,000; Grace Church, Laurens street, $55,000; A M E Zion Church, Madison avenue and Lafayette avenue, $70,000; Metropolitan Baptist Church, McCullough and Moshom, $70,000; Ivy Lane Church, M E Church, Carrollton avenue and Lanvale street, $30,000; Shiloh Baptist Church, Fremont avenue and Lanvale street, $77,000 and the Metropolitan street and Carrollton avenue, $110,000. Figuring these transactions on the ordinary basis of real estate transfers in Baltimore, they represent appraisals of real estate bonuses yearly. Counting that each of the 4,600 members they represent do their full duty, the interest and carrying charges on these properties are calculated yearly. Allowance, however, must be made for such initial capital as has been put in through the transfer of the property, many of the churches were already carrying obligations this item may reduce the yearly expenses very materially. These investments in churches are added the investments in fraternal buildings. The figures would approach the neighborhood of $700,000 in capital invested upon which interest and carrying charges will be paid during the ten years. Business Activities Compared with this outlay in capital fraternal organization buildings, the group has invested during the same period in productive business enterprise. New Orleans NAAC P.

CIVIL SERVICE CIVIL SERVICE GOOD MORNING JUDGE Walker Will Have Plenty Of Time To Sleep A man can't trust his best friend when it comes to ordering or informa- tion given to the police by Mrs. Ola Ross. 1023 Pennsylvania Avenue, who declared that her husband had asked Ferris Walker, a roomer to stay in the house with her while he went on a The roomer was true to his trust until she informed him that her husband was coming home and he tried to collect for his protection in love-making. "Honor," said Mrs. Ross, who was sporting a black eye. "when I told him that I didn't want anything to do with him he struck me in the eye, knocked me down, and then I threatened to have him arrested he said that he would ride the freight trains and sleep in the woods." "Well, said the judge, "unless you have 50 sandy feet, it will be 50 beetles, but you ride any freight trains or sleep anywhere but in the city jail." An Early Start The Magistrate in the Northwestern looked up from his dock at Pearl and Whee Wright. 1116 McCullobh street as they were ushered in by the red-carpeted evening: "What is the trouble between you two?" he asked. "Why judge, that woman tried to tear all by clothes off," said Writh. Wright, "the man did not hurt Wright. 'he must not tell you the half of it. He has been running around with some woman on Pennsylvania Avenue and Biddle street known as Mary Winters, they call her Lovey." I cannot help and her going in a house together and by the time I got in he had slipped out the back way and beat me home. But when I got him, that's when he came back. "Yes, Pearl, but you started all the trouble," said the Magistrate, "so I will have to fine you five dollars and costs and dismiss Walter." "Where are you going so fast?" an offended the door. Burned Two Old Hats Man's Throat Is Cut Because he is said to have burned up two old hats while cleaning around the home, Richard Richardson severely cut with a razor by John Rainkins, Sunday night, and is in the South Baltimore General Hospital, in a critical condition with a severe brain injury. The cutting followed the discovery of the fact that the articles had been destroyed. Rainkins, who lives with a sister of Richardson, used a razor to cut the hair of seven prisoners were taken from this house by Southern District police when they rushed to the scene in answer to an emergency call. They were Jools Hearran, Litter Heater, Heater, Heater, Heater, and Richardson, Jerre Golden, John Chase and William Betts, all live in Fulva. Susie Richardson, sweetheart of Rainkins, only been in Baltimore two weeks. Rainkins is being held pending the outcome of the man's wounds. Melburn's Little System Went Wrong In the game of chance it is a poor rule that won't work both ways, and the police street, learned when he was arranged in the Southern police station on charges of disturbing the peace, Monday morning, in Wonderland Park, Sunday, and began to take chances on the various lotteries that were operating. He had a system all his own, the operator but when he lost he refused to give up his dime. For half an hour he played thus until luck favored him and when he had lost his prize greedily, he offered the pit man his dime, demanding his wins. The owner refused to turn over this prize, in view of when he had lost he had refused to pay for his chance; and now that he had won he would refuse to accept the prize. Meiburn proceeded to wreck the stand and it was only the timely intervention of the police that saved the pit man any of his paraphernalia. Meiburn was found $5 and costs. HELD FOR LARCENY.

NAT'L BAPTIST PLANT SCENE OF RACE RIOT National Baptist Concern At Nashville Scene Of Sunday Killing WATCHMAN STOOD OFF OFFICERS TEN HOURS NASHVILLE, TEN N. With more than 60 bullets pumped into his body by officers whom he had stood off for ten hours with a rifle, Jerry Robinson, for twenty years watchman at the National Baptist Publishing Board, was killed here at daybreak Sunday morning. The killing, in which squads of officers used machine guns, was the result of trouble which started Saturday night when Robinson refused to allow an alleged white deputy to enter the place. When the deputy started to force an entrance with a gun, Robinson used a rifle and drove him from the plant several shots were fired by both men. When the deputy returned with assistance to "get" him Robinson barricaded himself and stood them off all night with his rifle, by firing from different points in the building. **Boyd Summond** Henry Allen Boyd, Secretary of the Board and general manager of the plant, was called from his home by officers who are said to have insisted that he heed building an alarm and Robinson. Dr Boyd however, failed to find the barricaded watchmen, and the officers went into camp setting up machine guns about halfway. Two stories of how Robinson met his death Sunday morning have been told. According to parolman Marsherello, he saw a man sitting at a day-break Sunday morning and, having known him for some time, called him to come out. His request, he said, was answered by officers then using machine guns riddled his body as it stood in a door. Officers also testified that when the locker where Robinson kept his effects was searched, a half-gallon jug of corn whiskey was found. Two officers were wounded during the barricade. Henry Allen Boyd, Secretary of the P.A. officers, would give out no statement as to the incidents leading up to the accident.

BY OBIE McCOLLUM In the musical comedy, "Sons Of Rest In Shiloh," which played the Royal Theatre in week, there are Jules the lead character of the stage in the leading roles. December is Coley Grant, who began his stage career in 1884, played for 20 years, and still does most character portrayals puts a little kick into an occasional dance. June is a dimpled little lady, Louise Williams, who was graduated from Summa High School in New Jersey in the class of 26. Back in 1898 when Anita Patt Brown and her "Troubadours" were winning the commendation with critics, she filled up colonies ones that Mr. Grant was one of the bunch in the bloom of his career. He is said to have been the first stage tutor of Aida Overton Walker. Cakewalk When the cakewalk was popular in America years ago, Grant and Grant introduced the dance in Europe and were valued at the Palace, Lisbon, London, Pietro and Vienna, these are the reveries of the old trouper, scenes of the hey day of himself and his wife and partner.

He has been a domain for 43 years he does not blemish any stage decline. His entire manner is dominated by optimism. When he thinks things are going well he used to be and can not measure up to the rigors of the black bottom; he dreams, dreams of days at the Moscow in Russia, or perhaps of times when Europeans paid eighty pounds weekly for a good cakewalk and plantation song Escaped Chorus Role Louise Williams, the clever ingenue of the "Sons of Rest" had school teaching selected as her profession.

Miller's *Gay Harlem*, and is now the outstanding feature of the musical comedy in her plays. Miss Williams claims Augusta, Ga., as her birth place but, blushingly de-nies that she is a "peach." She still studies voice culture when she is not playing engagements, and has the concert stage in view as an end. She was recently given a high rating in a tryout for Ziegfield's "Show Boat" and is favorably considered for one of the roles when the show begins rehearsals in September.

He was also a remarkable organ record of "Sugar" a recent time from the Handy house. REGENT "Mamie Smith And Gang" Mamie Smith and her "gang" are at the Regent this week. The Monday supper show found the "Gang" from the Middle West, and without their scenery and all their costumes. Miss Smith's aggregation would not match much of entertainment, and received scores of laughs and a large measure of applause. The feature of her revue is as much as Mamie Smith, she has surrounded herself with a group of supporting stars. Frances and Hilda Smith lead the choir of the company's presentations, solos and dances. The "Black Bottom" is ably portrayed by Zudora de Gaston, who interprets of a woman with the blues. John Mason is along with his comedy, and is assisted by Eddie Matthews. Their bits have an abundance of what drawn out. It can reasonably be expected that they will reach their credit to himself in the entire suite. Hope Black, former featured dancer with Clarence Muse's "Charleston Dandles," is with the "Gang" dancers of Charlestons. Black is one of the leading younger dancers and only needs to add to his repertoire. The dancers are handled by Herbert Wilkins. Miss Smith appears to be as popular as ever. Her "blues" numbers are the most popular, and predominated the singers of a decade ago. Her "Going Crazy With The Blues" is a likeable and impressive singer. Her "Smith's pianist and musical director." The "Black Diamond" Chorus is composed of Eugenia Bowman. "Baby," Johnson, Ruth Robinson, Marion Brown, and Frederica Phoenix. ROYAL "Southland Revue" There are good laughs and pleasant entertainment at the Royal in the "Southland Revue". For an enlightening color, costumes that are of offence, he bill stands as one of the best of the entire season. The variety runs from the toe dancing of Ehiel Williams to the nuttie of Billy Mitchell. Costumes that are of offence, he bill stands as one of the outstanding features of the show. Billy Mitchell is getting a lion's share of the applause. He presents a costume that is the dance of "Toby", his little dog, which adds his bark to the chorus. His contortion dance and oriental burlesque are among the most brilliant. He presents a costume that is Billy's impersonation of the corporate man are comical and fairly clean, but he detracts by "razing" members of the audience. Jimmy Johnson, a partner, is deserved of credit for clean-cut work in the straight roles. The singing of Ethel Williams was a trifle below par at the Monday night show. She sold her dances to her patrons in a manner which demanded an encore. Miss Williams precisely executed a routine of toe dances which she placed among the leaders in the theater. She danced honors of the ladies go to Cora La Redd. Miss La Redd couples ability and interest in her work in every number that she offers. Her dancing variation of the "Black Bottom". On the bill we find the big genial Tim Moore and Freddie Johnson in a laughable bake off at Scotch House, a very black and looking Scotchman, but nevertheless, a funny one. Unfortunately, some of their humor passes over the theatre patrons, one will get plenty of comment out of the quarter-hour's comedy. Violet Speed is the soubrette and she finishes a natural gift of charm and personality, serene smile and spirit of the audience, feel the spirit of her offerings. The Berry brothers, James and Ananas. These lads are undoubtedly among the most versatile and clever of any actress, and the prototype of the late George Walker; and his brother, James, can favorably compare his antics with many seasoned comedians. With the exception of those he has received, these boys have no limit. The chorus dances are led by the dance team of Campbell and Farrell, who have developed sense of unison work and have a well outlined routine. The chorus is well drilled and includes a series of stage stages. The girls composing the chorus are: Deloris Mitchell, Vioila Wilson, Jenile Simmons, Blanche Brans, Lillian Baitmore, Lillian Williams and Lorraine Hunter.

Matrimonial Tangle There is just one serious fly in the ointment. Mrs. Garvey admitted when asked about her recent divorce and when asked to separate from the Provisional President, and that is that she already has the status of a married woman. With Garvey filling a cross bill, she technically paid the status of his wife, who had failed in the divorce proceedings, and Mrs. Amy Jaques Garvey, whom Garvey married here in Baltimore, still actively upon the scene, the matrimonium of the trio is somewhat tangled.

J. Yours truly, Brown and Marguerite, Apache dancers. WAS DESERTED Editor of Theatrical Page: am writing this letter to let the besale Smith, Bessele Smith, Columbia, Record star, mistreated me. I came from New York and I am among Smith's company and was confined to my bed upon by arrival in Atlanta. Besale Smith refused to do anything for her. I was a straggler without money to buy food or medicine. She promised the land- lady that she would send her my room and ask me to stay home. But when the landlady called her up and asked what she was go- ing for, she told me the condition, she told her nothing and entirely deserted me, and left me among strangers. Wisdom of Wm. Bem, owner of "Get Happy" Company and Tom Bailey, manager of 81 Theatre, and patrons, money was raised for the benefit of the home. May the Lord bless Wm. Bem who worked so hard in my interest. If Besale Smith cares to answer you, please send her 500 names of witnesses. ELSI FEREBEE, (Miss Ferebee) will send her present address to this department.

Mr. David Simms, for 25 years pastor of King David Baptist Church, of Vicksburg, Miss., is directing his church workers in the care and relief of flood victims, his son, Joseph, is directing his musical comedy at the Gibson Theatre, in Philadelphia, and arranging a benefit for the sufferers. Simms and Eastern's "Sons of Rest In Shiloh", played the Royal Theatre in Baltimore, last week. The former is a nephew of James F. Hall, former superintendent of Mt. Auburn Cemetery. Back in 1901, Joe was a lad who willingly accepted the opportunity to go to La Grange, Illinois, with his grandmother who became intolerant with the South. From the Illinois high school he drifted into Chicago of the amateur stagecraft that he had gained in "church functions and plays down home." The good father, who was and is a prominent member of the National Baptist Convention: had frowned upon any sort of entertainment, except for the aid of the church, and Joe had not been allowed to publicly demonstrate his dance steps. The first professional work came The Afro-American—Baltimore, Md.—South's Biggest and Best Weekly in a State Street saloon which went under the more elite name of Beer Garden. A performer was allowed to come in, blacken his face, deliver a line of chatter and some buck and collar, and dollar bills every night if he were satisfactory. Joe was satisfactory and found himself with an engagement three years later at the old Pekin Theatre, near 29th street. Among his partners in his career have been Walker Thompson, now owner of the Warner Sweatwear company who has long been associated with big amusements; and Crickett Smith, whose jazz band is now one of the leading musical attractions in Paris, France. He contributed his lyrics to their compositions and arranged the plays he played in the eastern streets. Simms replaced Lyles in the original cast of "Shuffle Along" in 1923 and played with the show for 22 weeks. After making a tour on Keith time, he and Easton began the revival of "Shuffle Along" and recently introduced their latest musical comedy. This old favorite funster has a reputation for doing clean acting and not permitting any obscenity among his players. One of his girl principals is a "very careful" about his actions and his girls." FILM REVIEWS The picture story of Custer's Last Fight and the terrible vengeance of the angry redskin will appear in The Flaming Frontier, which comes to Duncan's store. The play has the hard riding and hard shooting Hoot Gibson as its leading character. The fur of Indians who had long been mistreated by the whites, their plotting, and their killers and the destruction of the crack regiment of U. S. troopers are the swift unfolding scenes. 'Road To Mandalay "Ship me somewheres cast of Suez where the best is like the worst." Rudyard Kipling's great poem and song is vividly pictured in "The Road To Mandalay", which comes to the Lafayette next week, and the best feature of it is that the popular Lon Chaney is starred. The land where white, yellow and blue burns incense of oriental temples, mysterious women and strange religion flit thru the scenes. Evil plottings, heartless riffians and a love theme are among the elements of interest in the ensemble. Colleen Moore has a new type of role and a charming personality in her latest vehicle, "Twinkletoes", which is the leading attraction at the Carey on May 6. In her roles the part of a young woman who tries to follow in the footsteps of her mother as a dancer and her struggles bring about the ill will of gossipy old women and many troubles with her thieving father. The scenes are laid with the background of the London slums. Path-ologist and friend of an unfailing woman are but few of the elements that enter into this screen story. Harry Langdon comes to America seeking a girl whom he knows only through letters and a faded photograph in "The Strong Man" and the Screen Titanic in May 17. The comedian is cast as a Belgian immigrant, who because of his lack of knowledge of English and of American ways, gets into numerous difficulties. Langdon's search for the girl gives him a glimpse of the story, which include New York, a border town and several small towns. In the concer, of the Howard University Glee Club Friday evening before a mammoth audience at Douglass High School, Barrington Guy tenor, was acclaimed as one of the most promising young artists. The Glee Club presented a program varied with brilliant renditions of classics, spirituals and dramatic readings. Harry Smith, Baltimore pianist, Levington Smith and Lester Cavallo's arioso, "Vesti la gubba" in Italian and Scholastic "Eri," was warmly received in their offerings. Mr. Guy's numbers included Leoncavallo's arioso, "Vesti la gubba" in Italian and Scholastic "Eri," was clear his expression brilliant. Mr. Guy has been favorably reviewed by the leading Chicago critics and they are unanimous in praising his dramatical effectiveness. Among the most heartily received numbers were the concert were Victoria's "Ave Maria" in Latin, Protheroe's "Shadow March," and the two humorous choruses: Mofats's "ChiChat" and "But They Didn'T by Rogers." The Glee Club did not receive any instruction from the musicians, who were presented by the Baltimore Federation of Parent-Teachers' Clubs.

SUNDAY Page Ten IN MUSICAL REALMS IN MUSICAL REALMS The Third Annual Spring Festival of music to be presented by 850 pupils at the Lyric Theatre. May 19. is expected to be one of the most brilliant of musical and social events of the season, according to a statement. Adah L. Killen, assistant supervisor of music in colored schools. The patrons this year include Alphians, Ambassadors, Etude, Peerless, Post Office, WBAL Jubilee Singers, Frederick Douglass Orchestra and Coppin Normal School Alumni Orchestra. Baltimore society is expected to attend. The festival has been organized in three groups. The elementary grades will present three features. "Spring": a cycle of song; a boys' chorus; and a cantata with part singing. The second and third groups of the program will include three junior high and three senior high school choruses. The third group will accompany. Their songs will be excerpts from well known light operas. The singers will be directed by Miss Carrie M. Smith of Booker T. Washington Junior High. Mrs. Paul Washington, Mrs. W. Llewellyn, Wilson, who will have charge of the Douglass Junior and Senior groups. The elementary grades and general organization are under the direction of Miss Carrie M. Smith of Booker T. Washington and Miss Ruth B. McAbe, assistant supervisor of music, in then ublic schools. Choir Sings For White Audience The 40-voiced choir of the First Baptist Church of Norfolk, Va., presented a sacred concert Sunday for white patrons only. On many previous occasions they have proved to be a drawing card for fans as many as 50 seats being reserved for them. Only recently the number of white guests was so large that many were unable to get standing room. In Cleveland Carl Diton, noted pianist and composer, will appear in recital at Cleveland. Ohio on May 27. Mr. Diton is being presented by his wife. He adds variety to his programs with vocal numbers. Call Vernon 6016 Philippine Girl At D. C. Music School WASHINGTON.— The Wellington A. Adams studios, 1000 Euclid street, N. W. will present its pupils in their annual May program on the evening of May 19. One of the expected features of the school will be the presentation of Maria Anastasia of the Philippine Islands in a series of the numbered. She will offer a costume rectal of the "Death Scene" and the "Coracha Dance" in Spanish. In connection with the local Fisk University financial drive, the Fisk Jubilee Singers gave a series of impressive spirituals to the regio plan, including Bethel A. M. E. Church, Thursday evening. Their program was as given: "Steal Away," "In a That Morning," "Go Down, Moses," "Crossing the Bar," "Shepard, My Secret," "Show Me The Way," "Run, Run, Run," "Lord, I Have Done," "Lil Lize, I Lub You." "You Better Mind," "Swing Low." STAR Enlivening its picture bill with four acts of spicy vaudeville, the Star is drawing large sized crowds this week and sending out pleased patrons. The stage performance opens with a song and dance act by Ragland and Reynolds. These girls are old figures on the circuit and can be depended upon to always show style and step in their dances. Billie and Wille Mae, lately billed with Travis Tucker's revue, have a little entertaining skit. Billy is depicting a bellboy who has a few more troubles than he has the maid and Wille Mae is the maid who does more dancing than dusting. They have their chatter well outlined and Billy sings a sentimental song that you will hum for several weeks. Leroy ad Evon, who find it impossible to even look like small time troupers offer the music, repertoire, comedy and song bits. This pair presents no dancing but keeps to a strict policy of chatter and pappy songs. Fisk Singers Sing Now as to the show business I regret to say that this was a bad year for promoters and theatre owners as well. I don't believe that one per cent of the theaters made a dime. I know several promoters that lost lots of money. One of them was big colored shows "7-11, 'Lucky Suco' and "4-11-44" have cut their shows down and are now playing colored time. Just what the coming season will bring forth is not known, but unless there are several changes in show business in general the outlook is bad. It is up to the producer to offer something new and attractive and a nice price for the light price. If the light price is not answer I will say "WES," but salaries must be cut, the number of rail road tickets must be less. So how can we do it? Here we are get fewer principals, pay them more salary. The same applies to chorus girls; then you will see better attractions. And a cut in the salary list also the rail road fare affects the same effect those who are competent but it will throw a few actors out of work, and some of them should be thrown out—the sooner the better. Professionals Complain Complaints of mistreatment by producers and theatre managers have been numerous this week. One chorus girl, Elise Ferebee writes that the was deserted by Bessie Smith after becoming ill, and declares that she can furnish 500 signatures of persons who write ill, the gallantly written paper, published in the theatrical correspondence of this week and Miss Smith is invited to give her version thru these columns. In Baltimore one act Rose and Fraverse were thrown out at the Regent and a company Baker and Baker was cancelled at the matrimonial lowing of the matrimony. One older defends his stand by saying that the act was not well executed. The other maintains that the com- The Afro-American—Baltimore, Md.—South's Biggest and Best Weekly We will announce the feature picture for this performance later. An admission of 25 cents will be charged and the entire proceeds will be given to the Red Cross for the Flood Sufferers. The theatre, and all of its employees are donating free service for this worthy cause. Red Cross Workers will be in attendance. This is a wonderful opportunity to help in this urgent hour of need. DUD'S DOPE By S. H. DUDLEY pany substituted indecency for act ing Unfortunately, the theatrical profession has a few members who are their own secretaries. But with all that it is the mirror of its patrons. Brown And Marguerite Rest Brown and Marguerite, team dancers who have won acclaim in every stage appearance during the past few years, are resting in Atlantic City preparatory to beginning an engagement at the Paradise Cafe of that resort town. The pair represent a peak in grace and finesse of performance. Their career is one of the brilliant after troups might fashion their efforts. Brown and Marguerite "got that way" by working more than the producer required of them and having a goal in view. Musicians Fare Forth Last week was one of the most musical in Baltimore's recent history. Following in the wake of the Williams Singers and an artistic group of Baltimore youth, came Fisk Jubilee Singers. Howard Glee Club and Georgia Warner was a celebrated band so cordial and brilliant that one is inclined to think that the monument city is ready to honor her artists. The Morgan College Orchestra, which was organized only a few months ago has become an enjoyable ensemble following a period of study and practice. One group hopes it will be the group is that it is directed by students. Robert Jackson, young Baltimore cornetist, is co-director with Miss Frances Berry, a talented pianist and accompanist from Lynchburg, Va. Two Records By W. Va. NEW YORK.

Mav 14, 1927 COSTS LESS TO HOLD CRIMINAL IN THE "PEN" Less Expensive To Keep Probationer In Jail Than To Release Him ALL PRISONERS HAVE CHANCE TO EARN MONEY Families Of Those Freed On Trial Problems To Welfare Agencies It costs the state of Maryland as much to release the average offender on probation as it does to commit him to the Maryland Penitentiary, according to a report recently issued by the Baltimore Criminal Justice Commission after a survey of the crime situation in Baltimore. it costs the tax payers just 10.2 mil a day to keep a man in the secondary while it costs 5.4 cents of the proper supervision he heeds when released on probation. sum however, does not include expense of apprehending and an offender in the event he makes an parole. Some idea of amount can be gained from the 112 of the 655 probationers arrested a total of 234 times 80 were convicted a total of 144 in Baltimore during the last years. Probationers Parasitic Protection It has also been found that the private prisoner earns more in the prison than it is more help to family than when released on Many of the families or prisoners are constantly under the pressure of welfare organizations because of probationers, unwilling to work or his inability to obtain employment. They are found to be parasite rather than producer. On the other hand, the damage is often used from $1,500. Because much of this is turned over to his family a greater asset in prison than Work Habit Acquired Begins the work habit cannot be beaten a day or a month or even year. It is unreasonable to expect a shifless man will better proffer for his family after being rejoiced on probation than he did prior that time. It has been proven that man who has been rejoiced in industry by benefited to work in the penitentiary. A greater number in the probation group were a problem to the criminal agencies of Baltimore than the families of those confined to penal institutions. They were also faced from crime durings. While those confinement continued their dangers and costly anti-social acts and interruption. Sound In Theory the commission after its investigation still contends that the problem is as sound in theory as it ever spite of the pessimistic facts the contrary. It offers the following remedies for th situation: the police be placed on probation and release only after a thorough preliminary investigation. Consider habits, home life, employment, education and training. Work carefully a plan of adjustment to individual needs of the probation officer cases than he can properly handle with or by personal contact with the probationer. Punish violatively by confining them to institutional teaching them to probation seriously. To avoid this, with a corps of workers exclusively with colored professionals. George W.

The Afro-American—Baltimore. Md. —South's Biggest and Best Weekly ADJUDGED BY "OPPORTUNITY" AS THE BEST COLORED WEEKLY, 1825-26 Romance Of Former Days Lost To Morgan Academy The Rivalry That Existed Between The College Men And The "Preps" Added Much To The Glamor Of Campus Life I see by the papers that the board of directors of Morgan College is going to drop the Academy and make the institution a number one skabukus. To the oldtimers who remember when the college students could all be crowded into one little pigeon hole while the knowledge seekers rather sarcastically referred to as "Preps" by the upper classman. spread all over the place, the announcement brings a slight pang of regret, something like a kid feels when they take away the dog he has learned to love. The oldtimers probably remember when the hatred of the Balkans was mother love compared to the utter contempt with which college men looked on "prep" and vice versa. Those were the days when a college prom, to which the preps were not invited meant a light to the death. Those were the days when a prep college satirized with the ice cream at every fraternity party and his sacred duty to blow the fuses in the middle of every college social. Athletic Rivalry Those were the days that "the teams of the two departments were willing to lose every game to every other school during the year just so they beat each other at the end of the year. And the side that won the game could expect a visit from the team, so it was not so much so, instead of sleeping in their pajamas they would go to bed in their fighting togs. The collegians were the aristocracy while the "preps" were the common people. The former enjoyed the privilege of leaving the campus asking disciplinarian. They could chapel with immunity. They could stroll on the campus with their girl friends. All of these good things were denied the lowly "prep." Every academic student dreamed of the time when they could wear the eight. When he too could wear a cap, a gown and a fraternity wig. Romance Gone With the academy there it was possible for a student to leave the eight grade back home and pass from one degree of alleged intelligence to another without leaving the campus for eight years. With the academy gone there gone romance, from one look down on or look up to; the romance of having somebody to despise wholeheartedly either; because they are above you or below you; the romance of warfare, warfare that is enjoyable; the romance of being so long as you are fighting someone who thinks they are better than you or think they are as good as you. The college folk added the dignity but, it was the "preps" who contributed that body to make college life worth living. College men looked upon a "prep" as a sort of barbarous creature that might be taught the ways of civilization after his sophomore year and the "prep" looked on and treated, overbearing, stupid biped who thought studying was more important than raising cain.

Saturday evening, The character element, declared the spearhead of 70% of the child's life, while the educational element makes up 30%. The average observer is likely to understand many actions in child life unless they are able to understand the educational education. The student should always be to develop the individual up to the point that he feels that there is something he wishes to do, that he wishes to retain, that he wishes to acquire. The natural tendency of the child for direct action whether it is expressed in fighting or not is merely one to be guided rather than suppressed. develop the ability to understand things that are right and others that are wrong. Assistant Superintendent Clarke was accompanied by Prof. J. Nathan Burrell, principal of the School, and Prof. G. Smith Wormlein, principal of Randall Junior High School, and Prof. J. L. Miner, practice instructor of the school. Clarke was presided over by the president, Cato Anderson, and the address of Assistant Superintendent Clarke was followed by a discussion from the floor.

Glee Club Scores Triumph In Philadelphia BY FLOSSIE E. WHITE In a concert under the direction of the Philharmonic Club of Philadelphia held in the Fashion Hall, the Post Office Glee Club, well-known musical aggregation scored a big trumpet before a crowded audience. Mr. Flossié programed the opening with the singing of the "Negro National Anthem with 'Twilight' as second to it. The audience responded with applause. Next came the solo of Mr. Braile H. Mason, who was at the best. Then the Miserere Chorus from the Philadelphia Orchestra took Scott was next in the Baritone solo—"West of the Great Divide," to which the audience responded with such applause the choir was given. Scott's voice was clear and he brought out his tones with ease and grace. Then he was next sang by the Club, Mr. Clarence Thomas gave a declaration which was very well rendered and judging from the applause received the audience was pleased. Mr. G. Bernard Young came next in a tenor solo, in which the clear even tones of his voice seemed to float over the audience. There was a double quartet, that Render To A Martial Artist. The martial air was next sun by the club closing the first part of the program. After the intermission, "Drinking Song" (student Prince) opened the second half of the program. He played a bass solo, the rich tones of his voice provoked much appalause and he was recalled for an encore. The Pillars of the Earth was very pleasing to the vast audience in this number the chorus excelled all former renditions. A quartet rendered "When the Bell in the Hearth" and the number one could imagine they were hearing the ringing of the various tones of bells. Mr. Clarence Thomas gave another declaenation it was so well rendered he was recalled several times, rendering some readings in a humorous vein. "Homeland" (Louis OX) came in for its more of a musical rendition. Mr. Clarence rendered "Where d'er you walk" and some spirituals, by Harry T. Burleigh, the very pleasing manner also the well rendition of the soles won the audience several times. The program closed with the "Soldier Chorus" from Faust. By request the club rendered "Everytime I feel the Spirit." After that Mr. Keen's Orchestra furnished the music for the dance and reception. Judging from the favorable expressions, Philadelphia was the best Club so much so that a return engagement in the near future is being arranged. 2 COUNCILMEN MAY HOLD A WHIP HAND Close Vote In City Body Gives Race Members Strategic Position REPUBLICANS MAY GAIN GROUP CONTROL Rumored Deals Whereby Broening May Have Free Hand In Government With the Republicans and Democrats almost equally divided in the one Branch City Council, the strategic position of the two race members from the Fourth District has been the topic of discussion in political circles this week. There are nine republicans and nine democrats in the door except in the door of the vice, where the president, who is a democrat, may cast the deciding vote, the vote will always be close, wise ones say, and with good generality the interests of the Fourth District group may be In a manner, leaders point out, the two race members of the branch will be somewhat the guardians, not on have an excellent chance to win the of the Fourth District, but will for the group's affairs throughout the city. Deals Rumored Deals whereby certain democratic members are expected to vote with the republicans in administration contests are weaker than those expected that Broening will have a working majority when the body is organized next week.

Callaway, one of the Councilman candidates who withdrew early in the primaries, gave the follo- The campaign recently closed in this District had more difficult angles than ever before. First, a serious primary which menaced Republican success. All effort to avoid a primary proved unsuccessful. Second, was William H. Fitzsander, who was early advised that his closeness to certain democrats had united all republican leaders against him, helped the success of his chances and to his credit, withdrew. This left seven in the field, Howard Payne, Dr. White, Abigail Boll, Ellison Bob, and Bob Oler. Oler never had a chance, being unknown to the voters. Payne's chances were slight, because he didn't little work for the cause of his activities for Ritchie in the Governor's campaign. Dr. White was first picked up by one faction in the primary for his activities for Ritchie in the Governor's campaign. Dr. White was first picked up by one faction in the primary for his activities for Ritchie in the Governor's campaign. He made excellent connections in other parts of the District and was endorsed by several prominent organizations, the he was never the choice of the for- "Bob" Young came in the fight too late and lost valuable support he would have received had not Dr. White been an early contender. Those behind McGuinn and Ellison were divided as to White and Young, some being linked with one, others with the other. I was with Young. The fight then was among Ellison, McGuinn, Emerson and Young. Payne, Oler and White were dark horses. White with an outsider's chance. Young lost considerable votes by the White candidacy and lost by less than a hundred votes. Ellison, McGuinn and Emerson became the republican candidates and our forces wholeheartedly combined behind them and for Mayor Broening and his running mates. The opposition of the lawyers, doctors and preachers disturbed us not in the Conference after conference was had. All differences were adjusted. There was never any talk of voting for two Republican candidates and one Democratic for every Redstone. So, for the first time since the gerrymander directed by Curran, the district went solidly republican and we have three first class in the Councilman's district. Our group will all be happy, non-naive to the district. Senator Harry O. Levin, who is entitled to great credit for the interest he took and the work he performed. Another who deserves credit is Walter the beginning of the campaign insisting on putting two colored men on the ticket for Councilmen. Most other leaders in the district were willing to compromise on two white men The result is a wonderful victory for the republican party, and we have been well paid for our hard work. We would say to our colored democratic friends who believe they have so much influence with the democratic party, that they use it influence by having the Democratic patrons purchase their tickets and have Democratic colored judges and clerks in the 4th District.

It is very likely that they will. Rossiter sox, Wilson is the man for the third base berth where Rojo worked last season, and Egleston is the man for the second berth held down by Rojo. Nothing has been heard from the two men who did not report and the locals are not suffering by their loss. The Sox are out to win, and win they will. The acquisition of Rojo would cause a bally-hole of trouble which will be easy to come away with by letting him stay where he is now, Rossiter. DIHIGO HITS 4TH HOMER IN 2 DAYS HIGHMOND. Va.

OF ORGANIZED BY NUTTER AIDS BASEBALL LINCOLNWINTWO Ownership Of Cuban Outfielder Throws East-West Leagues Into Turmoil FINAL SETTLEMENT IS UP TO LEAGUE HEADS BY AFRO SPORTS EDITOR Organized baseball will either get a black eye or a big impetus out of the settlement of the Montalvo case. This is the first difference between the Eastern and Western Leagues which has caused a wine-spread disturbance and a just and prompt settlement; alone will justify the faith of the fans in Judge Hueston, of Gary, Ind, and "Ike" Nutter, presidents of the Western and Eastern Leagues, respectively. The only wonder is how they would let the case go on as it has for the past without demanding that the matter be brought before them, so that a decision can be rendered. Baseball gains nothing by the wrangle. This is the property of the Cobras Star. Western League. He's a holdout. At the last 1926 meeting of the Western League, the Star's owner was not present and submitted no official reserve list of play- Not seeing his name on this list, "Jim" Keenan, Lincoln Giants' manager of New York, considered Montalvo a free agent, sent to Cubs for a second season and given to President Nutter to play him as a regular. Technically Keenan is right. Montalvo is not on the reserve list. He was a member of the other club owners of the East Ponies and Bolden among them, knew that Montalvo belonged to the West. They knew that if his name was taken, he was not willing to risk jeopardizing relations between the leaguers just to get the benefit of a technicality. Hueston President Nutter having spoken for the Eastern League, the matter now goes to Judge Hueston of the West. Judge Hueston's reply will either give the matter or throw the fat in the fire. The judge was elected president of the league under a constitution which made him titular head with little authority. The real authority lay in the hands of the western club owners.

Nutter BY JAMES KEENAN Owner New York Eastern League Club (Lincoln Giants). In reference to Montalvo, the Western League, now claims, that in the event of him (Montalvo) not ban, there are seven clubs, that would claim his services, before they would waive. Last year Montalvo was left in Georgia to do what he would not accept the unreasonably low salary offered by Cuban Stars. No club in Western League card of mentioning his name. He was as if dead. The Secretary of the Western League, now states Mr. Pompez of Eastern Cubans, told him at meeting in Detroit in January that Montalvo intended to play in the East, yet Montalvo did not put his name on the official reserve list, submitted at the joint meeting. The official mention of Montalvo's name after he appeared in New York, and signed to play with Lincoln Giants. Then Western League protested. They would reserve Montalvo, but insist on having him, after Lincoln Giants sign him. He is considered valuable, yet he would have been allowed to die of dry rot in Cuba, for all Malina and Nassau League members. The Lincoln Giants submitted the facts to the Hon. Isaac H. Nutter, of Atlantic City also President of Eastern League who decided that, as Montalvo's name was not submitted, and no other team was assigned to him, the Negro National League was a free agent, and is privileged to sign and play with Lincoln Giants, in Eastern Colored League. The Western League has been so insistent on the need for Montalvo to be turned adrift by the Lincoln, or Western League threatens to do various Silver Moons Win The Silver Moon Tossers chalked up their second straight victory Sunday when they defeated the Kelly All-Stars. 6 to 2.

Every League insists upon an official original reserve list, he submitted and no list submitted afterwards is considered, although it may be added. When any player is left off a reserve list he is considered a free agent, privileged to sign and play with Lincoln Giants in Eastern League or Western League, continually had articles published, trying to show to the East forced them to anrepeat upon a reduction in salary. The West demanded a salary limit of $2,500 a month, without managers' salary, while the West wanted $2,700 including managers' salary. Both agreed on the Western limit, but because the East, because every manager receives more than $200 a month. There has been no notice from the West that Western Leagues do not include Indianapolis. There has been no official notice that Birmingham, Memphis, and Cleveland are in Western League. If newspapers had not published Memphis, Birmingham, and Cleveland, no one would have known anything about them. As it is now, most people are in doubt as to what kind of membership they hold. We read in sporting sheets that Western League decided to control or supervise Southern League. East knows nothing officially about it. It appears as if West wants to control all the territory and ball players outside of N. Y. PA. N. J., and Maryland. This question has been decided several times by Judge Landis, who fined a club that neglected to place a player's name on his reserve list, and after the player signed with a club in another league, the first club tried to sign the player. The Lincoln Giants are acting within their rights and the Western league could consult Judge Landis, who would no doubt decide so. MORRIS BROWN EASTERN TOUR ATLANTA.

The amount of wages a person paid colored people has been a standing disregard to the country and no other people would have stood it as long as the Negro has stood it. You cannot blame a man for not wanting to work when he gets only prey on dolls a week in the sun of the brickyards or the lumber camps or in the cotton fields or rice swamps. Interracial Commission Governor Ritchie will appoint a New Interracial to be to be appointed by June 1st. By authority of the recent legislature, Governor Ritchie was authorized to name an unpaid commission of 18 members to be selected by him equally from both rooms. Whom shall he appoint? Some of the members of the present commission, specifically the secretary, Mr. J. Calloway, ought by all means, to be reappointed. There are others who have not been able to meet with the commission and possibly will not care to serve longer. Governor Ritchie authorized Tuesday's statement that he would welcome suggestions from the public as to the personnel of the new commission. The commission Governor Ritchie recognizes, to be representative of the entire state will to comprehend that it is not able but willing to serve, considerable that and care. The AFRO urges readers to send in to the State House names of members of both races who are com-mitted suitable material for the new body. The N. Y. Debate Few people are interested in the fact that no method was provided by which a decision could be reached in the recent New York debate between Dean Kelly Mellon and Mr. V. T. Calverton, editor of the Modern Quarterly, a Baltimoreian. The question was "Does Orthodox Christianity Handicap Negro Progress?" Most of us are interested to know that it has been possible to stage a debate of this type and secure for speakers a respectful hearing. All of us recognize that white religion, call it orthodox or by some other name, is and often is off the theological religion itself has been at fault so much as the failure to practice it. The practice of orthodox Christianity has been the severest handicap to Negro progress for three centuries. It was at one and the same time the prophet the slave and the bully the slaveholder. Yet after 300 years, stands Dean Kelly Miller. "half a man" in a Christian land, as "defender of the faith," denying Mr. Calverton a representation of his group and a American, the right to tear down the white God his fathers set up. Is there any wonder Mr. Calverton laughed at the idea of a "black man worshipping a white God in a black church?" The answer to this, of course, is that the God has no color at all. He's the creator, the great Spirit. America's shame isn't its Christianity, but its lack of it. To the average white American elites, he can be taken of those once a week and then to be forgotten thereafter, as speedily as possible. Elks' Convention In the publication of columns of newspaper articles concerning the certainty and uncertainty of the next Elks' Concentration in New York. It is becoming increasingly difficult to determine: (1) Just how much of it is due to the fact that the New York State law, (the so-called Grattan Law) actually bans the convention, which is due to the rivalry of other cities to gobble the convention should New York falter. (2) Whether or not the whole thing isn't just New York's method of advertising. It isn't likely that the Mayor and city officials of New York would invite to convene there, an organization which the law expressly bars from the state. It isn't likely that white Elks would regularly parade body to meet regularly to parade occasionally in violation of the law and then object to an annual convention. Granted, however, there are legal difficulties in the way of the concession, could it be possible that new Yorkers preferred the invitation and the Elk authorities accepted it without first finding out if these difficulties could be overcome? Or can New York also be either very shrewd or very vard, and we are, especially inclined to the belief that Harlem is laughing in its sleeve at the apprehension of the rest of the country over their concession in the world's capital.

The reply received by Dr. Pickens was to this effect: Secretary Sanders acknowledges receipt of your letter and responds that by direction of the president, the matter was being referred to the Red Cross. Mr. Coolidge, as president of the United States is as cautious as he was six years ago when the people asked him where he stood on the question of the Ku Klux Klan. Mr. Coolidge prefers not to be quoted directly. Even when speaking directly to the newspaper correspondent "White House Spokesman," a straw man to take responsibility for his own utterances. Of course the position of president of the United States is so inconceivably big that no one individual can possibly attend to the details. For this reason there are members of the cabinet and a network of executive officers who can act for and advise with the president to carry on the nation's business. Nevertheless, we expect the president to have some ideas of his own, some policy that will stamp itself as Coolidge. We complain of lynchings, and the president refers the matter to Congress. We ask for appointments to the Senate and House, and we are told to the State Department. We complain of the administration's lethery and indifference an dmr. Coolidge, unable to refer us any where else, refers us back ourselves with the consoling advice, "to have patience." Eagerness to shirk responsibility is one of the notable marks of the Coolidge administration, an apparently becoming a clearing house and a "reference" bureau, rather than an executive mansion. Morgan Univ.? President J. O. Spencer's announcement this week that Morgan College is to discontinue its academy, marks another step in the educational progress of Maryland. A growing body of college students in Morgan State and a half dollar public high school in Baltimore, certainly the time has come for Morgan to leave the secondary field to others and to project itself with all its energies into the college and university field. The state has made a beginning this year towards doing its duty at Morgan by appropriating $125,000 for a science hall. It's only a beginning, however. The state must come and rapidly, when the state will place at Morgan duplicates of every facility it provides in the professional schools of the University of Maryland. There must come a law school, and in connection with the new Provident Hospital, a medical, dental and pharmaceutical school. We have no choice. Either Morgan students must be opened or identical facilities must be placed at Morgan. Morgan College has taken the first step towards being Morgan University. In its financial drive this month for larger endowment and improved management and financial aid which will enable it to carry out its program. Trick Ballot The majority of delegates to the recent annual meeting of the Baltimore Parent-Teacher Federation was so overwhelmingly in favor of the new curriculum that Evan L. Keyley as president, that it is regrettable that her administration felt it necessary to employ "trick ballots." The official printed ballots which the delegates used had the name of Mr. Willard W. Allen, then came all the other officers to be voted for in the election followed by Mr. Willard W. Allen, the other candidate for president, at the bottom of the sheet. This "smite" politics, entirely to the detention, unworthy, too of the admirable administration which Mrs. Wheatley has given that body as president. Congratulations Announcement in another part of this paper that Mr. William L. Fitzgerald celebrates this week the 25th anniversary of a successful real estate business is a cause for congratulation. The city boasts of few enterprises larger, older or more successful. In congratulating Mr. Fitzgerald, the APFO believes that the foundation sufficiently broad upon which to erect another 25 years of prosperity and service. Senator Bruce (Columbia, D. C.

Men who wring riches out of the lowlands of Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee come to Memphis to spend it and eastern capitalists who do not send all their money down in the peon worked fields, mines and oil fields of Mexico and other South American countries, dump it into the Mississippi Delta where in this land of the free and home of the brave, labor can still be had at manipulated net costs of 50 per cents per day. When plous New England coupon clippers can bask in the seclusion of their Long Island mansions, while they appropriate the difference between their four collars that a man labor easily coaxes out of the rich alluvial soil of this section, it is but natural that they saitve their conscience and allow the Southerners know what is best for the Negro. The American spirit of tolerance and justice has melted in every direction in front of the militant in the South. In the North we have no more Thaddeus Stevens, Summers, or "unequivocating" abolitionist of the old type. And if you have studied the treaty, you have seen that yourself you have had to admit to constant growth of the spirit of compromise, and "step by step process" with which many of our outstanding leaders have been embu- Sutton E. Griggs From Out The West Take for instance the case of the Rev. Sutton E. Griggs of Memphis. Coming out of the West where big spaces make big men and women as a young man this unquestionably brilliant orator and writer took up the cudgel of the race and for several years was one of the most outspoken antagonists of Booker T. Washington's idea of complicity with the South. Mark Anthony never moved the Roman populace with more fervor and practical feeling than young Sutton E. Griggs could a race group. But men who stir men's souls do not always stir their pocketbooks. Even Jesus Christ did not. Mahatma Gandhi don't. But why be a Gandhi? So Dr. Griggs transferred his talent to a more practical racial philosophy. Summing up this philosophy at the dedication of the new high school of Memphis a week ago, with the white board of education "standing by" Dr. Griggs is said to have advised the race group that their only hope lies in currying favor with the southern white people and to accept the southern white man's views on the race question. That an outstanding Negro leader might advise youth to accept what most southern white whiteolk rehearses and civic status seems ominous, to say the least. As an individual, any man may condition him, which suits him. BUT TO HELP PERPETUATE THIS GROWN OF THORNS ON THE BROOK OF YOUTH IN THE OVEN OF A HIGH SCHOOL IS CRIMINAL. By various means the South has sought to make leaders for the race, and to give the Vanderbilt university once said it would be the policy of the South to encourage that type of Negro leader who was conservative. But the man who finally in history as the real leaders of any group are those who are moulded from within. Diplomats may compare with the real leaders of the fortitude, to say, "get the hese." New Negro In The Rev. L. K. McMillan, South Carolinian, and Yale Divinity graduate, has set friends of religious women as a model for insisting that the "brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God be put into actual practice in the big philanthropy schools of the South, and not in mit to segregation at Shaw University in Raleigh. Although many brave and courageous students have dared to "beard the lion in its own den" and suffer the consequences as has McMillan, they have resisted the incident, in which he resigned from the Diversity school of that institution, because its white faculty openly practiced segregation of the South. He has grown of spirit and persistence on the part of colored youth and on the other a changing spirit and teacher in our southern schools. Twenty years ago noble hearted white men and women come to the United States and their lives in ostracism rather than submit to Southern sentiment that race or color is the determinant of Christian contact. Now most of them come down, join a rotary club and lead in the process of describing the blow which McMillan struck will have far reaching effects, for this country will need to be safe for democracy in the South. Retribution Vs. Church Grafters It is common knowledge that this age is notorious for Church-gratifying that grafters are recruited from the church and are distracted as to "race or color" or previous condition or servitude; and it is known also to those who study these problems and note the results that retribution has swiftly over-taken them. In the midst of the createst creatures who were mean enough to rob God's church. A Bishop of the M. E. Church was found guilty of embezzling funds entrusted to his care and sentenced to imprisonment. A Bishop of the M. E. Church was the courageous leaders of that body for disloyalty in this way. A high official of the great Southern Baptist Church is now under indictment for embezzling the several Bishops of the A. M. E. Church have been publicly accused of dishonesty by a man who invites them to bring suit against him for libel. But retribution is after the ones and will surely overtake them. The Afro-American—Baltimore, Md. —South's Biggest and Best Weekly WITH WILLIAM N. JONES To the Editor: To the Editor: By R. A. ADAMS. P. N. S. Backward Maryland Forward W. Virginia West Virginia has only one third as many colored people as Maryland, yet, the legislature appropriates nearly twice as much for colored institutions. West Virginia has 72,000 cloaked people. It appropriates $1,240,600 every two years for college institutions excluding public schools. It appropriates $1,032,912 for colored institutions, excluding the public schools. The table below gives these appropriations in detail. Maryland is better able to appreciate a larger sum for Negro welfare than Maryland's per capita revenue receipts are $14.88 a year. West Virginia's $10.24. Maryland's per capita expenditures and interest is $11.69 a year, West Virginia's $8.05. Maryland's net debt per capita, $14.22, West Virginia's $24.18. Maryland's public schools adequately, one of them as a college. Maryland one normal school. Indefinitely. Maryland has no state aged or orphans' home, no colored supervisor of state schools and no state reform school for boys and girls. West Virginia has these large public schools. West Virginia has large hospitals for the insane at Crownville and for the tubercular at Hentonry are under white direction. So far as public school education goes, Maryland and West Virginia both spend $22 a year on each white child. Maryland spends only $10.52 a year on each colored child and West Virginia $14.47 on each colored child. Maryland is 37th state in illiteracy having 37.404 Colored people who are unable to read and write. West Virginia is 35th in illiteracy having 10,513 colored folk unable to read and write.

Hopes God Will Pull The Cover From Cheltenham. To the Editor: I see Dr. Ernest Lyon was speaking about Cheltenham. Yes, I know something about it. Have a good case against it. That is one place I am praying that God will pull the cover off, for it is needed. Mr. Rublenis is reported to have said, "That Negroes competing for the United States board have won honors—it would be a strange thing to refuse them the right to compete in the National games of their own country." Dr. Lyon said if he weren't a minister he would tell what kind of a minister he is, that is a minister's place to uncover sin and that is what I am going to do. Wouldn't we like to hear some big vendor of his gospel according to Christ taking a stand as broad as that of Rublen? I know something. I am going to make the devil come down out of his needy and preachers of today need grace and the preachers of Afraid to speak on the account of the public and will let those little poor forsaken suffer. E. B. Henderson, Washington, D. C. W. J. Harvey Suggests National Educational Society To Put Race Schools On Their Feel 470 Baltic St., Brooklyn, N. Y. As a result of the falling off of contributions from white philanthropists, many of our schools have hard times. We are even threatened with being closed for lack of funds. The plight of such institutions as Pisk University and the University of our position and take steps, not only to put this great institution on its feet, but to band ourselves to it. We are in the system of schools of higher education. Curran's Defeat No Surprise To Those Who Know, Says Reader Who Adds That Stage Was All Set To the Editor: The defeat of Mr. Wm. Curran in Tuesday's election was not a surprise to those who know the great game of politics. What happened in Tuesday's election has happened all over the country. The day of the bosses setting up an alagarchy has gone for ever. We have certainly proved our ability to organize and successfully conduct societies in all kind. Our experience along this line I believe to be providential, for it has fitted us to organize on a large scale. We are eager to organize a National Educational Society with a National Educational Board representing all of the denominations, fraternal and civic organ- In the past two years Democratic senators defeated from the state of North Dakota to Pennsylvania. All of this upheaval has been a result of the debate. This law was designed to defeat the purpose of the bosses, and carry out the will of the people. It has so far been successful. Our present mayor is one of the most popular executives occupying an executive chair in the country; his business does not like him to face—bosses do not like men who are popular—if the man occupying the office is popular, his popularity becomes a detriment to the bosses. The unit basis for such an organization can be made in every town where a local can be organized to make up the national organization. Dues for instance, of $1.25 per year. $1.00 of which would go to the national organization, $1.25 to the schools yearly by the National Board and twenty-five cents for expenses would be an excellent idea. There is no reason shouldn't accumulate a country, the $1,000,000 distributed among our schools each year would solve our wide membership of one million and educational problems in a short The people wanted Mr. Jackson and the bosses wanted Mr. Curran the people did not get Mr. Jackson the bosses did not get Mr. Curran. The people failed to get Mr. Jackson the people Jackson the "wettest" Democratic party gave the people a chance to prove that bosses no longer control the vote of the voters. The party is versed in politics is surprised at the defeat of Mr. Curran—the stage was well decorated and each candidate part, and the question is who was the clown—the bosses or the public? All honor to the Elks, of which order I am proud to be a member, who have established an educational board and are contributing funds for the education of our people. I am certain that they would do their utmost to help us. I am the foolish pleasures and such a fund for the same purpose. Prophesses Rain And Moving Day In Baltimore. Is it now high time that we deny give a higher pittance for the education of our people? I am sure that the journals of the country will open their columns to the public. I am sure that $1.25 annual dues and will join the first local society whenever organized. God speed the time when a million will contribute $1.25 a year for institutions of learning that have lifted us to such high places. We have astonished and won the admiration of the entire world. To the Editor: If all was rain and never sun. No rainbow would span the hill; If all were sun and never rain. There would be no rainbow still. I am going to prophecy—this time as the Lord put it in my heart. Paul said, "If only in this life we had humility, we would of all man be humitable." We are going to moving of rain. I also see a great moving out in Baltimore. God is going to move and move. W. J. Harvey, Sr. 602 North 43rd street Philadelphia, Pa. Heard and Seen In Baltimore By a decree issued by Mussolini it is against the law to cuss in Italy. No such law could be passed here because there are so many fluffers that cussing is one of the necessities of life. When you buy a secondhand car, the salesman gives you a book containing all the latest profanity as a souvenir. This proves very helpful when the engine starts to stall. Of course cussing never made an automobile go, but it gives the driver a lot of consolation when he's working on it. Mussolini accomplished with one stroke of the pen, what all the churches in America have been trying to do for centuries. If we couldn't cuss, how could we tolerate prohibition or help our wives with the spring cleaning? If cussing against the law half of the married men he was to wait for their wives to dress would spend most of their time in jail. Kissing is also against the law in Italy. Every time a guy wants to tell his girl good night he takes a chance on being locked up. They said kissing spreads germs, but a lot of ginks we know are professional germ collectors. Of course you can catch things by kissing; look at some o, the relics a lot of girls caught for husbands. You don't get as much time for kissing an elderly woman as you do for kissing her daughter. But who in the dickens wants to kiss an elderly woman. But in these days of face lifting you never can tell. Many a ginko who thought he was marrying a 16-year-old girl woke up the next morning to find himself a grandfather. Kissing is allright providing you kiss the right person. The trouble is never know the right person until you have kissed them a couple of times. Kissing is also very dangerous. If you don't believe it, try kissing another man's wife while he is looking at you. A kiss is sometimes treacherous. Many men have been lured to their death by a kiss. Many more have lured to a much worse fate—marriarchy. If a woman wants a man to stop kissing her, she can do so by marrying him. After marriage some lose the art of kissing entirely but others keep in practice on their stenographers. Women used to say, "Lips that touch liquor shall never touch mine," but now they have added the clause, "unless you give me a drink." If kissing was abolished what the movies use for an ending? It went around around around the parlor every time your beau made a call. Girls use so much rouge on their lips that if she kissed her boy friend on the cheek she would leave a lot of circumstantial evidence. Girls usus Some folks kiss over the telephone. For this kind of kissing you use your knee. For this kind of kissing they don't hold kisses as long on the phone because it costs a nickle every five minutes. Kisses are made to be stolen and not rented by the hour. If kissing was breaking the law a lot of old malds would be perfectly tolerated. But if kissing, kissing leads to matrimony, and matrimony is liable to lead you anywhere. Jim Hayseed's Mild Musings BY OBIE McCOLLUM Upon A Brown Girl's Natal Day Thou brown girl, on thy natal day, With amusing laughing at thy noun, With blossoms at thy feet, the gift of May. While Phocus hasten his gift of light along. I stand with empty arms and stare with nothingness, that which is mine is hidden in the future; rain and air bind the island; DtBosGem pu oilt shape the vine. From Neptune's kingdom not a pearl, Nor flashing brilliant from the Afric's And yet the gift I proffer thee, brown girl I will be the place against the breast of thine, Against the blossom of thy soul, To never pawn as jewels in a mart. Ah. Shrinking and Cupid cast me in the role to offer as my natal gift—my heart. One guy was observed wearing a dogwood flower on Mother's Day. He said it was in memory of his mother-in-law. In the days when Calvin Coolidge was president and the moon of May was warm and fragrant, to the Baltimoreans as other 51 per cent Americans for the celebration of Mother's Day. And they themselves withdrew of pink and of white. This is in remembrance of Mother, they said and rightly mother, and remembering for lo and those had been forgetting for 364 days. And while people were giving praises to the greatest friend on earth, in the florists were filled with a real delight, and people should include even days for more in-laws and pedigree cows. Lo, they say it with flowers. It is said that one wicked French king had his mother killed by force. Manu American men are using force to kill fathers and sons now and get paid for it as the king's executioner probably did. They are called boot-leggers. Will Lynchings Decrease Now? (P.N.S.) (P. N.S.) Nebraska passes the anti-lynching bill which was introduced into the state in 1908. It mand L. Barnaett, Negro member of the lower house. This bill provides that the sum of 1,000 dollars be paid, counter to the heirs of any person killed by mob violence, within their boundaries. With the successful passage of this bill, mob rule receives a death blow, and the law may take its course whereby the law may take its course and justice have at least a chance. Where a penalty is involved, the protection afforded prisoners will be ADJUDED BY "OPPORTUNITY" AS THE BEST COLORED WEEKLY, 1925-26 Kelly Miller Says * The flattering offer of a political position to Bishop Carey was a high compliment to him, but was a lamentable reflection on the A. M. E. Church. The good mayor would not have dared dream of making a like offer to a Bishop of a white denomination. The idea of a Bishop who has been called of God and set apart by his brethren as their chief spiritual guide giving up his holy function to become an official arithmetician is simply unthinkable. You can serve God through Mammon; but you can not serve God and Mammon. The separation of church and state forms a basic principle of the American theory of government. The American government that the Caesar's and unto God the things that are God's, expresses the proposition with the aphoristic aptness of the greatest government, beginning until now the government has been operated upon this foundation principle. Ministers of the gospel have in the main attended the meetings and statesmen have looked out for the affairs of state. Very rarely has a preacher functioned in the government. Today, I cannot recall a single minister of the gospel have been branch of Congress, in the Cabinet or in any high public station. At the same time, the Church has always shown its good citizens should do. Frequently political issues take on the sharp differentiation of more or less important issues, finally assumed this phase. Church organizations and churchmen were left no choice but to align themselves on the ethical side of the issue. Prohibition is taken as a question of metropolitan expresses. The minister can hardly remain true to his conscience or to his calling, and the influence of the wrong side. Besides, a citizen by taking ministerial vows does not lose any of the prerogatives of citizenship. The gravamen of the minister to organizations espousing any particular party or candidate, and to the minister himself becoming a candidate for political office. The minister should be through the ages from the sinister use of priestly power to effect political ends that the combination always breeds suspicion. Any compact religious organization, like the Catholics or the Methodist bodies, naturally labs under great stress, and therefore has control for secular and political purposes. So great is this suspicion that a favored candidate for the presidency has reason to believe that neither his personal devotion to his faith nor the great communion to which he avows devotion upon his official conduct, if elevated to the chief magistracy. But here as elsewhere, these general principles do not ordinarily confuse the spheres of the state and church often become inextricably confused in the black man's mind. His leadership, in the general antecedents the general recognition of his citizenship. The most capable men of these received their leadership from religious organizations. Fred Douglass began his public career as an exhorter in a Methodist Church. There he felt the exploitation of his pent up powers. Tidal Movement From When the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments spend up the flood gate of politics to the race church to the state. Many of the Reconstruction leaders had gained their preliminary experience as ministers of the gospel. The first Negro to sit in the United States Senate, was a Methodist minister. Professor Francis L. Cordozo, the Secretary of State of the United States, was a Congregational pulpit. Vice versa, when the reactionary movement of seventy-six shut down the flood gate of political advantage, there was a shift to the church. The experience acquired in the political arena was quickly transferred back to the church, and the erstwhile politician was sent to the church. The experience acquired in the political arena was quickly transferred back to the church, and the erstwhile politician was sent to the church. The situation of the Negro makes the union of the two functions inevitable. The Negro church forms the center of the race, which the race can be corralled and controlled. There are forty thousand Negro churches which in many instances furnish the only political discussion and deliberation. The Negro's political organizations, as such, have little more power, giving away a lot of smoke. When he white political to reach the black voter, he proceeds sensibly enough thru the Negro preacher. There is no other agency whereby they can be reached. It is needless to indulge in condemnation of the colored clergy for their lack of power, more than to their parishioners with reference to public policies and the wise use of the ballot. They can lay hands on larger groups than the other type of organization. It also becomes their racial duty to give needed information and wise counsel to those who must be involved in the guidance. We may therefore expect the Negro church to function for some time to come in the political field. The race will be compelled to fall back upon the preacher for political guidance for the reason that delegates demand only a preacher's basis for a livelihood; do not control elections and offices, as the white politicians do, but are mainly political mandcendants stretching forth their hands to the white voters; and he has his bountiful table. He, therefore, lacks independence, and must shift his sails to the exigencies of the prevailing winds. He is an also-slave to the powers that be from whom he derives his livelihood. Of course, President Coolidge should be renominated; of course, every Negro should support his re-legislation. If he does so, course, he is or will be the best friend of the Negro since Grant. These and like encomium flows from the politicians mouth with suspicion of the politician's meaning or merit. They dare not, at peril of their political livelihood, say otherwise. He is absolutely no value when the advisor is not free to advise otherwise. The Negro minister is supposed to be free. He does not depend upon the favor of white voters. He derives his support directly from the people whom he leads.

We shall continue to look to the minister for incidental politi- tic use until we are in de- pendent on politics for petty de- pendent. Spokesmen From Ministerial Ranks As a matter of history, our political spokesmen have come more and more insistent ranks in the Bishop of the church, the race's acknowledged man under President McKenna Bishop Walters served in like manner by a president Wilson, by numerous instances, ministers of the gospel have sought political appointments. The ministership to Liberia has been filled offener. I believe, by Dr. M. J. McKenna, president of the church assignment to become president of the land office under President of the land office as, Rev. Dr. Roberta had done in, Rev. Dr. Vertea, now Bishop, laid aside for school work to become President Roosevelt. However, necessary it may be for the political arena for people whom he leads, where he lays aside is stared funerals in the office of other office that he always a suppressed promises that he promises his sacred loaves and fishes. Although a minister may take up to several secular services in the day, whenever he subordinates his cred office to any other purpose, he must mind as a locator backward after taking hold of the gospel plow. Bishop Gregg And Howard University It is a matter of racial self-germination that no Bishop, or church-methodist communions has our Methodist aside from his episcopal functions for any secular pursuit, however, he has devoted himself in the inner circles that that he has offered to Haiti was offered to Bishop Walters. We only know that he deviate from his episcopal dignity. The Trustees of Howard University offered the presidency of this educational institution to Bishop Church. This offer was a high compliment to Bishop Greg, but not to the A. M. E. Church. To a church the king row. He would put a fact could not swap places for an secular pursuit of wonders persevering in his ecclesiastical conscience. This is the view that Bishop Greg took to his everlasting honor and dignity of his church. No secular organization would think of tempting a Bishop of the Catholic, Episcopal, or white Methodist Church with offers of a secular position. Whenever such an offer is made, Negro missionist Bishop should be ordered as an indignity to his high and holy office. Lamentable Reflection On A. M. E. Church What kind of examples will our high ecclesiastical dignities hold up to consecrated youth who work moral and spiritual regeneration in their race. If it appears that they are using the church as stepping stone to secular and political preferment? While I write words come that the Bishop of the A. M. E. Church in Chicago threw the weight of his moral campaign which actually included the rights of the race. All honor to the good Bishop for temperance lending his sacred function to the church. The grateful candidate, we are told, has offered him a temples political position of great dignity. The Bishop of the A. M. E. Church was a high compliment to Bishop Carey, and indicates his great power and resourcefulness both with and without the church. But the Bishop was a laureate relic of the E. Church. The good mayor would not have dared dream of making a like offer to a Bishop of a white nation. Such an offer would have been unimaginable white Methodism. The idea of a Bishop who has been called the God and set apart by his brethren as their chief spiritual guide, giving up his holy function to metheanus is simply unthinkable. Before these words shall be reached the readers see. Bestowed the worthy example of his worthy colleague and declined to offer with thanks. You can count on him to cannot serve God and Mammon.

She also declares that an eminent daim said, and as a fidle if that is true, and I doubt it, that is still another reason for tearing some of the churches. There will be many less places for him to display his ignorance. There will be always believed, and the who knows the true faith or rejects the Christian religion, in my article, that would lead any sensible person to believe that I rejected the Christian religion. This could not be, for never before in life have I realized as fairly as I do now, the wonderful truth of religion, especially as taught by Jesus of Nazareth, and because I do realize then I am more and more convinced that many edithies and many edithies will never bring one to the place where he realizes God as Father. Over all in all and An Omni-Loving Father I could never lack in God when I look around and see how he gives his benefits to all and sunshine. How he lets people that comfort and I would like to see remove from their places, because we are all apparently proper. Only an Omnious Father could tolerate some of the miseries and crimes done in His name. Only a Divine Intelligence could move serenely on oceans, uninterrupted and unimpeded to bring him to the face of man's efforts to do his worst. Limited human patience would have save held half of the sins that who for years have taught us that痛 and sorrow and woe were that pain from God. instead of that we are ourselves, through our faith to keep in contact with the eternal Good, have brought these con- counselors. Some never think me an infidel, but I never accuse God of bringing miscreant on any creature. I can see him as Eternal Goodness. Yet I have heard supposedly rated and trained ministers will congratulate those that trouble were seized from God, when His mercy had been traced to wryness, and in the breath quote "His mercy is as bawless as the sea." Hundreds of saxe and fear, driven from a leafless Father, by fear of an angry God. I know there is a god. He keeps these saddlers living. I do not preach Christ nor Christian. I plead for a recognition of tan America—in Baltimore. Not Christianity. But Religion Many people do not know that in especially heathen countries, right now our missionaries are being re- quested and asked to leave those coun- tries. With the wisdom of our an- cient races, the so-called heathen are saintly. And we love Christ, but you do not Christian lives. It is dominion they reject but denomin- ation religion. Religion as prac- ticed in American churches, these heathen say, "The dollar sign follows the cross." Well do we in Baltimore know it. And the money they do for the churches The less business-like their admin- istration Show me any large depar- tment since in town doing a weekly credit business, that takes more than ten minutes to find your little fifty but some of the large churches in Baltimore can't tell who he is pains his dies. If they keep books they are not posted for weeks, at Lack Business Show me any man in business earning $3 a month who doesn't put in eight hours every day of productive work. Some of our Baltimore ministers do set that much and don't even visit their sick. Their affairs are handled in such a muddled way that every year when their Correspondents are about to convene, they have to semilate to meet their obligations. The large business houses have no meetings, choirs, orchestras, social gatherings to promote friendliness and cooperation among their employees. The larger the Church the less participation the members are allowed. Trained and paid choirs are the smiling and should some older cases dress a bill in the stilted proceeding.

BAXTER, Chairman of Board Lives Of Founders Department stores and banks trace their growth from their foundation and recite the history of their owners or Presidents. Protestant Churches do not teach their young people the lives of their founders and the marvelous sacrifices these men made to establish the churches which we enjoy today. Indeed in East Belfast, find very few children who know what we celebrate Christmas and Easter. I'll wager you will have to look far to find a Methodist child who can tell you who Payne, Allen and Ashbury were. I was brought up in church. Have stayed in church all night. Have risen at dawn to attend early services. Have gone to class week after week. Have people get up in class and give in their "testimonies." Some of them have said that they have been Christians for twenty and thirty years. Yet every week they say "I am an unprofitable servant. Week after week, I lengthen the brittle threads of their unprofitable lives and bid their golden moments roll on." Show me any business where an unprofitable servant would be tolerated for twenty years. And some of them are telling the church they haven't bwn a bit more loving, a charitable or devoted time, at a sacrifice, to God's work in all those years. They have gone to church for pomp and power and the churches ought to be taken away so that plains can no longer use them as plains for their petty plans and schemes. Healing Power Some ministers have told me that the church will never fail. I know that it won't. It is founded on the eternal truths of Love, but there are so many factions in the church we are now calling the church of God. I asked a minister last week why Healing Power had left the church as it was one of the first activities of Jesus. He changed the church to a palatial Church of America, is trying to revive that power in their ministers. These men are all well-educated and have studied for years. It would mean a great deal to Christianity if they were to stick person and with a sincere prayer, heal him. Most of the ministers I know, jump into bed as soon as a pain hits them and not even a brother minister is called first. They want the best medical skill they can No Quarrel No, I have no quarrel with Christianity. It is still the hope of the world, but I suppose I shall always be though queer because I ask these questions. All of which can be summed up in one. "Why not live not our conception of Christianity?" There is nothing the matter with Christianity. Nothing wrong with the fundamentals of church law as I see them, but copy the Discipline of the M. E. Church. (My pastor not leader had ever explained it to me or even shown it.) I was amazed at the clear pure principles set forth in that book. Principles first promulgated by illiterate men under divine instruction. Showing the real power of God. What we need today is a return to the old beliefs and doctrines.

The Pathfinder The Afro-American—Baltimore, Md.—South's Biggest and Best Weekly Best Of The Bargain A Story Of Colored Doughboys In War Time France BY CLIFFORD L. MILLER To know how to speak English, order. She wondered what had gone fluently enough to cater to American trade, was Suzanne's ambition when she conceived of the idea of opening a restaurant. As luck would have it, the first American to be detailed for duty, who had the opportunity to assist her with her English was black American who proceeded him by means of the sign language, the understanding of exchanging object lessons, by means of which both would derive good working knowledge of each others tongue. The mademoiselle, taking a potato, said, "Pomme de terre." Later, responded the gibb-tongued Gordon. "Je laisse tomber le pomme de terre," pursued earnestly the potato to lady, as she allowed the potato to fall from her hands to the earth. "I drap de later," said Gordon. "Deed does." Again, potato from the earth Suzanne continued. "Je leve le pomme de terre." The soldier shot at her a look of utter surprise and asked, "Have you ever lived in South Carolina?" But Gordon who taught me English is from South Carolina. "Ah!" replied he. "that explain why you speak English dialect and not English." Dumbbounded was she by the orange revelation of events. A thief in precious hours spent for naught. She had given Gordon no arrogant but the pure Parisian French Gordon never at lost in apprehending the sign language said, "I tote de tater." Suzanne found herself strangely enough launching out into the deeps of English, surprised that the language used so fishish and guttural was sweet and mellow. Gordon took to the French as a duck to water. The leisure moments of these serious minded young people were used profitably enough. When Gordon was ordered elsewhere, fortunately Suzanne now had the assurance to make her business venture, speaking English, bright green in place she opened with bright cheery girl in herself acting as waitress. As a soldier of the Yankee Division on the opening day passed by, the sign "English Spoken" caught his eyes and his feet obedient to his will landed him in this restaurant. A smile greeted his entrance. "Bring me the meat, fried potatoes, bread and coffee," he said. Suzanne stood as one deaf.

Poem This Week "SELFISH LIVES" We go our ways in life too much alone. We hold ourselves too far from all our kind; Too often to the weak and helpless moan, Too often to the weak and hipless blind; Too often, where distress and want abide; We tide and pas upon the other side. The other side is trodden smooth and worn. By footsteps passing idly all the day; Where lie the bruised ones that faint and murmur Is seldom more than an untrudden way. Our selfish hearts are for our feet the guide- They fly by upon the other side. They should be ours the oil and wine to pour Into the bleeding wounds of stricken ones; To take the smitten and the sick and go And bear them where a stream of blessin runs. Instead we look upon the other side. Oh, friend and brothers, gliding down the tears Humanity calling each and all in tender accents, born of grief and tears; I pray you listen tothe thrilling call! You cannot in your cold and selfish pride, Pass, guiltless, by upon the other side. Weekly Lessons In English Word Often Misused Don't say "I do not know if she is coming."

The injunction asks that the pastor be restrained from interfering with the church and that the two banks be restrained from recognizing any new banking committees appointed at the meeting of the church. At the trial Wednesday George Myers, who was the first on the bench,ness stand declared that had been summary evidenced from the deacon beaten, while he lay ill in his home. He was followed by Walter Powers who declared that the charter gave deacons a life tenure in office during good behavior and that he had been secretary of the board from 1906 to the present. GROUND CALLED DOWN The small court room was crowded with persons, mostly members of the church. Among the audience was the Rev. A. J. Payne. When the case first opened, litters from the audience brought sharp criticism from Judge Stan- There will be no hilarity during this case. This is no moving picture," he said. "It is shameful that you think the Chinese have to bring their disagreements into the court at all. In case you do, we will treat this matter with all seriousness. There will be no comments on my statement," said I. from the crowd. The Rev. Greene is represented by George Evans and Warner T. McGuinn, attorneys and the trustees by W. Ashbie Hawkins.

Deacon Miller Testifies Deacon Miller admitted in his testimony that while he received copy of the bulletin personally, he had been shown one in which the business meeting was announced. According to the deacon, while he is able to visit and perform other duties, he is unable to attend the business meetings and while absent from one of these meetings he was outfitted On Banking Committee When questioned concerning his position on the banking committee, Deacon Miller was unable to give information concerning funds deposited by the church in the Equitable Trust, Christ of the Sacred Heart, when his duties were on the committee, other than he was to sign when funds were to be withdrawn. He was appointed to this committee, he testified during the pastoral period in 1866 during which year he was also appointed to the deacon board. Pastor Autocratic? In an effort to show that the pastor was autocratic, Deacon Miller testified, that on one occasion the pastor wished the services be changed from 130 a. to 100 a. This time he dressed down by the deacons by the time was changed anyway by the pastor. Later, he said, this ruling caused dissention among the church memos to vote for the change to thebers and the pastor asked the deacformer time which they refused to 250 Paid-up Members According to the deacon, while he are 250 financial members of the church and a floating congregation of about 4,000. Say Pastor Charged Full Fare Deacon Brooks, when called to the stand declared, that the main bone of contention between the deacon board and the pastor, was over financial matters. Rev. Mr. Greene, he said, filed expense accounts for a trip to St. Louis, Chicago and New York, for full traveling rates when an investigation showed that he had ridden on clerical rates. A more thorough probe of the pastor's activities was under way by the deacon board under the direction of the pastor, when they were ousted he stated. Clerical rates are said to be one-half the regular fare. The $500 Deacon Miller alsostetified that he thinks the pastor had ulcerative motives to put him off the board because he used similar methods to obtain $500 he wanted on a previous occasion. Deacon Brooks testified that no deacon had been dismissed in the past eleven years and only one Mr. Powell had resigned. THE AUTONOBILE Mr. Brooks said 'The Pastors' Aid had decided to purchase the pastor over the objections of the deacons. This had led to friction he said. Eight other deacons are yet to be called before Pastor Greene takes the stand. Conos adjourned at 4 p. m. to meet at 0 a. m. Friday. Deacon Brooks will probably be called again to take the stand. --- GET OUR PRICES TODAY—ESTIMATES FREE WE EMPLOY ONLY EXPERT ROOFERS OUR ASHPALT BUILT-UP are guaranteed for 10 years ROOFS SUBURBAN AND COUNTRY WORK SOLICITED Just drop us a card or call and we will send a man to examine your roof and give you an estimate. 25 YEARS' EXPERIENCE THE HOUSE FOR A SQUARE DEAL WATERMELONS IN SEASON A SPECIALTY 11 E.

STUDENTS RAISE $1,300 IN DRIVE Chairman Is Optimistic About Organization's Completing $2,000 Quota Swinging into the final week of its drive, the Morgan College student crusade organization reported funds of nearly $1,300 at the Wednesday assembly. The organization has been engaged in a six-week drive for $2,000 and is now in the process of in which $100,000 is being raised before June. The school is paying off a debt of $50,000 and matching a gift of $50,000 from the General Education Board. The general total of the student organization stood at $1,268.00, according to the announcement of Leroy Griffin, chairman. The midyear freshman class which was begun at the college in January and has no officers, leads the classes at $300,000. With East of the English department, has raised more than $300 in the drive. When interviewed Wednesday concerning the outlook for completing the college, I was asked a way in which the students and teachers have responded as a whole makes one almost confident that they will go over the top. Some, however, did not. I asked the drive end short on May 16 we shall immediately begin a new drive in order to complete our work before the general crusade ends June 1. I asked the drive end aside as a special pilgrimage day for a general report for the Morgan College drive. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon the total amounts will be shown upon the screen in the computer. Friends of the institution are invited. An appeal sent out to white friends asks, them to contribute $50,000.

Driving Out Of Ruts Attempting to drive out of a deep rut, places a severe strain on the parts of the rear tire assembly. If the rear is brought to a complete stop, the wheels are turned to one side as far as possible, and the car backed, the wheels will easily mount the sides of the ruts without the least strain. How To Make A Long Spout Oil Can Take an ordinary oil can, taste a cork over end of the spout, not to obstruct the opening, then suck a cork of desired length into the cork, directly below the spout opening. The oil will flow along the wire to the farther end. Or Bolt Next time an unusually tight nut or bolt is encountered, try placing two wrenches on it instead of one the handles in a V position. Then pull jointly on both wrenches. This distributes the pressure over several faces of the nut or bolt and the jaws of the wrenches. Body Squeaks A mixture of kerosene and lubricating oil, forced between the body crevices with a squirt gun or a brush, will overcome body squash. Rocking the crevice oil will mix to penetrate. Of course it is necessary to see that all bolts are tight. Another excellent remedy is to loosen the body of bolts, then back them up with grease. The grease tightens and prevents the bolts when tightening and prevent many squeaks from this source. Use Of Graphite A thick paste of flake graphite and oil, applied to the spark plug threads when inserting them in the motor will make them easy to remove, and is also recommended to use on any bolts and studs which are subjected to considerable heat. Heat Expands And Cold Contract3 Don't exert much strength in screwing a spark plug so tightly into a hot motor. When engine cools the cylinder metal will contract, making it extremely difficult to remove the plug when necessary.

The lack of interest shown in all branches of the Health Week program was also felt in this endeavor. Of 200 announcements and invitations sent to mothers all over the city only 21 entered their young hopefuls in the contests were Doris Green, age 5 months, 1015 Madison avenue, first prize; Mary E. Breckenridge, age 15 months, Roslyn, Md., second prize; and Lois Branch, age 2 years, 1206 Myrtle avenue, third prize. The babies were examined by three physicists and rated the ones that received the highest average was chosen as winner. The first prize was $10 donated by the Home Friendly Life Insurance Company, the second was a life size colored doll given by the Bishop Manufacturing Company, and the third was a silver baby set given by the Bishop Manufacturing Company. The following were members of the committee: Mrs. J. G. McRae, Misses Hazel Macbeth, Lois Macbeth, Elmira, Tibbs, and Mae Grooms. Dr. Chasson Installs Modern Equipment Doubtless taking his cue from the slogan that is now widely advertised of "Patronizing your neighborhood store", Dr. D. M. Chasson, well known optometrist of 1540 Pennsylvania avenue has recently installed a very high class as well as expensive equipment for his patrons. It seems to be Dr. Chasson's firm opinion that if up-town patrons are given the same service and the expert attention in their neighborhood shops as they are in the big down town stores they would much prefer to save time and car fare by prioritizing the needs of their customers in support of this belief he has continued to improve his equipment until it is now on a par with any in the city. A little more of this progressive spirit could well be taken up by other Pennsylvania avenue merchants who find their trade drifting to the downtown stores.

There's grief that can't find comfort, There are wounds that can't be healed; That can never be revealed. Sorrows down deep in my heart. Rest in peace, dear Joseph.

Monroe and Laurens St. Madison 0529 Page Nineteen "Monkey Business" Attracts Folk To Stare At Animals People Who Look Most Make Fewest Purchases And All Classes Are Drawn To Windows One of the slang expressions of today is "Darwin was right," which refers to Darwin's theory of evolution and man's relation to the monkey. I do not know whether Darwin was right or not, but I am certain of the attraction that the longtailed race holds for people. One needs only to pass a pet store, the organ grinder or the zoo, and there he finds the starling humans and the poor man's wondering what it is all about. On North Eutau street where there are two pet stores one can always find eight or ten persons who have yielded to the irresistible lure of their 10,000th cousins These stores carry stocks birds, dogs, goldfish and various other pets, but gaze as jungle gentlemen in the public raze as jungle gentlemen. Records show that monkeys grow in lesser proportion than the other animals. The gazers are seldom the buyers. One does not "monkey around" when he wants to buy a pet. Among those who are held by the appeal of the monkey may be found the high born and the poorest citizen, and strange to say, children are not as much in need of assistance as necessary that mischievous little animals be awake, even a sleeping monkey has its attraction. Seeks Brother Mrs. Gertrude McRae of 448 Mother avenue, Monessen, Pa., has asked the APRO to help her locate her brother, Luther Jones.

Taking The Starch Out Of Banking A bank is simply a "money store" and there is no more reason for excess dignity in a money store than there is in a grocery store or in a clothing store. At the Old Town National Bank banking si conducted without stiffness and without excess dignity. Here you are not merely a number on the bank's ledger; you are a valued customer, personally recognized by the Bank's officers. Here, too, you may expect friendly personal service—financial advice if you desire it—cordiality always.

Baltimore Pastors Glorify Mothers In Sunday Sermons Mother and motherhood were glorified in sermons by local pastors Sunday. Without exception, both sermons and music in practically all of the churches were directed to Mother's Day. The high spots in some of the sermons preached and gleaned by AFRO-AMERICAN reporters were as follows: Rev. C. E. Stewart, newly appointed pastor of Trinity A. M. E. Church: "The Negro woman is capable of becoming the best mother the world has ever known if they will follow the great example set by the brown-skinned Queen of Sheba and Solomon, the man of wisdom and prudence". **Union** The Rev. David Over. pastor of Union Baptist Church: "Women with domestic worries should emulate the heathen woman who made her daughter's troubles her own doggie for Jesus Christ. He is the greatest counsellor in domestic and paternal troubles." The Rev. E. S. Williams, pastor Metropolitan M. E. Church: "There is no love like a mother's love; if they are alive we owe it to them to live noble lives and cheer their hearts; perchance they need we should live to honor their memory their sacrifice and suffering in our behalf." Grace The Rev. T. T. Colbert, pastor Grace Presbyterian Church: "With the Sabbath being openly attacked by big organized forces; with Sun- day baseball, gambling, dancing and other amusements threatening the home. Mothers of 1927 have greater problems than the children of the dead and therefore must rise to a higher sense of efficiency and duty." Union Wesley The Rev. D. L. Miller, pastor C. M. E: "Keep the commandments of the Thather; forsake not the gifts of the Father; give the givers of life, physically, socially, morally, intellectually and spiritually." The Rev. R. A.

Sharp Street The Rev. W. A. English, pastor Sharp Street M. E. Church: "Sie is a mistaken mother who thinks she can go the way of the smart set and that her sons and daughters will go the way of God and the church. I can understand in a measure how some men forsake God and live worldly lives; but the saddest thing in our civilization today is a Godless. Christless mother with little children playing around her home."

Mr. William Brown, 511 Welcome St. Many of us loose lots of time, and money and almost life itself trying to do with ordinary things when the extra-ordinary is what we need. This was the case with Mr. William Brown of 511 Welcome street in this city. He had been trying to get back his health and strength with the hundred and one "ordinary" "tonies" with which the druggists are flooded until he had become disgusted and was almost of the opinion that all patent medicine were no good, and the advertisements of them just a lot of fun. A friend persuaded him to try one bottle of LEM-COD. Well you that we were going to say he felt better on the first dose. But we know better than to try to pull that kind of stuff. But Mr. Brown does declare that he was a whole heap better after taking the first bottle and he is now on the third one and he is piping to the world that LEM-COD is his best friend and from now on no more of those ordinary tonies will for him—it's LEM-COD or notning.

HOPKINS' NURSE SAYS SHE KNEW MAN'S VOICE Thomas Johnson Was Accused Of Entering Bed Room Of Young Woman WAS ARRESTED AS A SUSPECT BUT IS FREED Judge Ullman Rules That Tone Of Voice Not Sufficient Identity The ruling that mere tone of voice was not sufficient evidence upon which to base the serious crime of attempted rape made in Criminal Court by Judge Ullman probably saved Thomas Johnson, accused of entering the room of a Hopkins nurse, from a long sentence in the penitentiary Monday. Johnson was accused by Miss Ruth Helen Brister, a white, nurse in the John Hopkins Hospital, who declared that on the night of April 10, she was awakened in the nurses' home on Broadway to find a man sitting on the floor. The man seized her by the throat and threatened her if she made an outcry. When the noise attracted the attention of people in other parts of the house, he dashed from the room before accomplishing his intentions. AFTER She indicated that she could not see his face because of the darkness of the room but got a glimpse of his back as he dashed out the door through the hall. In the station-house where he had been arrested, she is said to have picked him out of several men by his voice. Johnson was arrested on his occurrences having entered a house home away several months ago. At that time he was charged with robbery after he had made his way to another bedroom. He was acquitted on the plea of Attorney J. Stewart Davis, who was appointed by the state to defend him. Mr. Davies contested the finality of the indictation. Judge J. Davies, the Judge, was not sufficient identification in so serious a case in which the man's life was at stake. ATTENTION!
