THEAFROAMERICAN 1000 are SAVED POLICE TOLD THAT SEACOCKS WERE DELIBERATELY OPENED WOMEN AND GIRLS TRAMPLED; RUSH FOR LIFE PRESERVERS One thousand joymakers narrowly escaped going to a watery grave when the excursion steamer Majestic went to the bottom of the Chesapeake Bay at the foot of Clinton street at 6 a. m. this morning. The steamer with 970 passengers and 30 members of the crew, was a scene of terror as women screamed and fainted following the first report that the boat had sprung a leak a short distance this side of Fort Carroll. Panic stricken cries rent the air and a mad rush for lifeboats and life preservers turned the upper decks into a scene of bedlam. Members of the crew were forced to use drastic means in order that women and girls might first be provided with safety devices.

When the Majestic lazily steamed toward Fort Carroll, William Bryan, 1626 Jackson street, an oiler, informed Captain Frederick Travers, white, 4718 Milford avnue, that the boat had sprung a leak in the rear lower galley, and the hold was fast filling with water.

Finding the water coming in at such terrific force that the damage could not be repaired, Captain Travers ordered that the boat be turned back with all possible speed and put in at the first pier to be reached. The sudden change in the course caused the crowd to become apprehensive and a cry of "the boat is sinking," caused a wild rush toward the life preservers. Men and women were trampled in the stampede, fists flew and the angry oaths of the men could be heard above the screams of the frightened women. Tossing and swaying as the terror stricken passengers rushed from one side of the boat to the other the Majestic plowd gamely on until it nosed in at the coal pier at the foot of Clinton street. The bow of the boat barely missed ramming the stern of the Danish freighter Johannes Maersk, which was moored at the pier.

Last week Mr. Waldron told the AFRO-AMERICAN that he had purchased the boat from the Claiborne and Annapolis Ferry Company, the owners, and that he knew nothing of the stockholders in the other company and would not recognize any claims that they hold. He declared that it is the intention of the company, which is said to be backed by Philadelphia and New York capital, to run excursions to Love Point in Queen Anne's County. BUILT IN 1903 The steamer Majestic was built by the W. and A. Fletcher Company in Hoboken, N. J., in 1903 and before being brought to Baltimore was named "Happy Days." It was built to be used as an excursion boat for the poor children of New York. It was a gift of Charles W. Schwab, steel magnate, who personally superintended the building. It was operated as an excursion boat from New York to Albany until the World War. Boat was then converted into a transport. It is said to have had a steel hull and at time it was brought to Baltimore was in perfect condition. Laugh At Death Even in the face of certain death some of the passengers did not lose their sense of humor and laughed heartily at a very stout woman, who seized four life preservers and strapped them about her body. She fought vigorously with all of her 200 pounds as members of the crew attempte do get one or two of them to distribute among the frightened passengers. "Go, 'way from here man,' she cried, 'ain't no one life preserver going to hold me up as heavy as I am." She still held them securely after she had been safely landed on the dock.

Attorney's "17 Points" However Are Forgotten FRANCIS FIRST URGED AS REGISTRAR OF-TREASURY Coolidge Adamant So "Ambassador" To Liberia was Substituted RIENZI B. LEMU8 WASHINGTON, D. C.-President, Coolidge made William T. Francis, of Minnesota, Minister to Liberia and, so doing, also made Hon. Wm. C. Matthes, of Minnesota. For all of Matthes' "17 points" his forgotten agenda of expectations to race recognition by the Coolidge regime, never concerned him so much as the political situation of the United States. Despite possible reports to the contrary, Mr. Matthes only sought for himself assignment as special counsel of the government in cases at home in the Bay State. In Francis's words, he sought in quest of some place of importance. In 1924 Matthews was chief of negro activities for the Republican National Committee. His deputies were Francis at Chicago and John at New York. At New York, Mr. Matthews, now on a major assignment as special assistant to U. S. Attorney General Sargent out in California, wanted Mr. Francois made deputy secretary of the department, he mobilized the futility of it and offered the name of Francis for the Liberian portfolio. And he has urged Francis for the post ever since. Francis was even when deputy Mitchell was believed to have been an open seeker for the Monrovia legation, chief Matthews argued the brief of his first deputy, Mr. Mitchell, to be good job in the Department of Justice and Francis due for Liberia, only Mr. Mitchell remains out in the cold, despite the excellent service he has rendered on two occasions to the U.S. Navy Island's Commission and, later, with the National Committee at New York in 1924. Because Mitchell has been made exception to the rule that to the victor belongs the spoils is no reason why the maxim in respect to whom credit is one she deserves applies Macmillan to the appointment of Francis; for though there were excellent indorsements between the bottom and Secretary of State Kellog at the top, Matthews was at the bottom, and the new "Ambassador extraordinary" to the "court" of King Charles B. D., at Monrovia. ADAMS GIRLS IN DOUBLE WEDDING Daughters Of Late Al Adams Wed In Washington A double wedding took place at St. Augustine's Church last Saturday afternoon. Miss Alberta V.

This is the house where we build orphan asylums, erect old folks homes, take care of the poor and teemed man, and the estranged and pimple neighbor" put into everyday life. priestly. And more, we are not discouraged because there is reason to be multiplifying all around us that the religion of the man of Galilee is everywhere, everywhere, Who knows but that we are on the edge of a great spiritual awakening of world-wide proportion, which represents the real demons which represent our of our Lord are coming together as never before. The church has seen the need of the several creeds and on the one creed the Master, the creed of Jesus spoke when he said: "He has made me to preach good tidings to the poor proclaiming to the captives the power of justice to the blinded secreting of justice that are bruised and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord." Being Proud Mr. W. H. Le Grance is quoted in South African dispatch to the "African world" as saying: "We want to build up what that the Europeans of Herein Mr. Le Grands proves that all "Uncle Toms" and "Hand" Jackets are American America. The rather was a man he be interested in the rather in building a race that first would be proud of you wouldn't care. Unker's darn what think in South Africa there are three groups of people. The native African can blacks, most numerous and Aborigians, second, the European, the superior culture force have come in and dominate and thirdly the mixed group, which is known as colored. In Cape Town, the color bar bill is black in South Africa Parliament. By its provisions women will be jim crowed, segregated and distrancated in their own home land by aliens and in addition barred from certain skilled trades. The revolutionary movement is on foot among the natives having its as passivity "Equal Right All"—Says Ivan Kovac, opposing it because we realize that only the Europeans possess the intelligence to work out South Africa's destiny. The ordered people leaders and their natives, and the colored people are the smallest section of the community, and have to decide whether they are to be dragged down to the level of the natives or to be elevated Then "Uncle Toms" Grange delivers himself, of this masterpiece. "We have grown up among the white people," says Le Grange. "We have to believe in which they raised us and made us think for ourselves. We will gain nothing by standing in the way. They have to impatiently we must be by them. We must have nothing to fear. Our policy is to lift our people and make them useful citizens. To build up our race and the very race people—the education of our race. We want to build up a race that the Europeans will be proud of." With all of this sincity "Uncle Tom" certain praise "raise the white folk who on him on the back by saying "race spokesman like him will always be saddened of a hearing." No one censures "Grange or South African native" people for themselves the best conditions. It's not necessary however, as they climb to freedom and prosperity to kick the native African down the ladder. African native's password—Equal Rights For All" has an American ring. Theodore Roosevelt once exclaimed "All Men Up." His Declaration of Independence We are for these natives in their battle against colored folk and Europeans for human rights. They are the underdogs and as well as oppose people they have the highest principles. Who Pays? It cost $75,791,751 last year to enforce the prohibition amendment according to figures made public by the Internal Revenue Bureau. Some idea of how enforcement costs the increased must be judged in the face that the costs in 1920 were $8,300,000. These look like tremendous sums even though ten million dollars only build one battlefield or four dirigibles. Figures on the other side of the leader tell who pays for this effort to make the country dry. Revenue underfunded property worth $13,833,524.

The Marines Again The United States Marines cited in dispatches are the most famous of unarmed natives of Haiti when some thousands of unarmed natives fell before Uncle Sam's machine guns are at rest. The press reports a "battle" in Nicaragua, Saturday and Sunday. Dispatches make plain the boast that also the U.S. Marines were outnumbered five to one, only two Americans were killed, while of the "ene-moles" 300 were killed and 100 wounded. Secretary Kellogg commenting on protest of the Nicaragua labor delegates now meeting with the American Federation of Labor in Convention, branded the Nicaraguan forces as rebels and common outlaws. Perhaps they are, but to the great majority they are patriots fighting for country and freedom. Nicaragua is in a state of rebellion and the United States has intervened. There are two considerations worth noting: first, that the United States troops have no more business in Nicaragua than it has in Haiti. Like the average bully it masks its policy of exploitation and robbery behind its alleged role of peacemaker. Then secondly, if 39 marines killed and wounded 400 Nicaraguas it wasn't a battle. It was a massacre in which well-trained marines using airplanes, machine guns, bombs and modern artillery fought against brave Central Americans armed with little more than a clear conscience. What a blot upon the United States which just a few years ago, under Wilson, was talking about the president's policies. Why boast about an incident for which we ought to hang our heads in shame? Our "glorious" marines under the policy of enlightened presidents appear to have been the "fathers of all the Carribean." — but we have had nine lynchings in the United States this year and three times as many flaggings in Georgia and Florida. What's the matter with using the marines home to keep peace? White Papa Over a month ago the AFRO printed a tip from Washington to the effect that the State Department favored the appointment of a white man as the president. As the result of that article politicians close to the president told him that it would never do to appointee Mr. W. T. Francis, of St. Paul, Minn. Mr. Francis who is an attorney-at-law, was the choice of leaders from many sections of the country and altho he is "colored," he is as "white outside and inside" as the president himself, and racial ambition which is according to good old U. S. A. customs, when he gets to Liberia, he will be regarded as white. In America a few drops of colored liberia, a few drops of white blood make a man white. Whether he likes it or not Mr. Francis will be greeted in Liberia as the "new American man" which makes the joke on somebody. Figure it out for yourself. Who's the butt? Colored people wanted a colored minister. The State Department preferred a white minister. Mr. Francis has been selected and everybody is said to be happy. We are white in Liberia, and we still wanna foreigners think Americans are peculiar. No Appeal Last week the country was startled by evidence that during the last Indian political campaign the C. Sepulchre, owner of the Indianapolis 'Leder' sums of $320, $800, $200 and $200 for publicity. The Indianapolis 'Leder' sums of $320, $800, $200 and $200 for publicity. The Indianapolis 'Leder' was founded in 1912 by the late John D. Howard. Tom Taggert, state democratic boss, is said to have advanced the first $3,000 for its support. Howard made one of the first major public events circulated in 28 states. After his death his widow sold the paper to Mr. Jackson. The 'Leder''s unseemly advocacy of the Ku Klux Klan candidates in the last campaign is lost popular support and died quickly. More newspapers die of political indigestion than any other single cause save bad management. Mr. Jackson has not heard on the phone what he is said as saying that he can vindicate himself. We doubt it. For the public which supported his newspaper has already been given his verer- What Counts? (Kelly Miller in the Messenger Max). Whether the birth of Jesus was the result of miracles, he Performed miracles, whether He rose from the dead or ascended into heaven for devotion of the saint or for the ridicule of the sceptic. But the undisputed facts abide. Jesus upon human history has been greater than that of Alexander, Caesar, Napoleon, Washington, and John Calvin. He is included in a hundred times. Judaism and Christianity its first offspring, the床-rock of-modern from the times have been derived of the ethics, the broadening sense of human love and humanity of love and mercy, and the higher sanction of human behavior.

O.

Long distance thinking, financial wizardry, and snicker several days ago as the press of the country sent out the story that Liberia had been the victim of a bombing when they read further down in the story that Liberia had borrowed money out of which the money came. So Liberia gets the $38,000 war damage itracts a new one for $5,000,000. If the high hatted luminaries of the country teach to develop basic industries rather than make guadu display; education than pompous parades and junkets and if these loans are given to them rather than in commissions, she might have been in the position of America's student rather than a borrowing nation. Let us hope that the going to Liberian of Harvey Firestone may be the industry and that the republic will soon be able to balance its budget, but certainly to who have guided it, or not to do anything or nothing to be "doily" about. How Women Meet Supreme Crisis Up in Philadelphia last week Mrs. Rosa Rodgers, cultured Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority woman, finding her back against the wall in her battle to hold the love of her husband and maintain the sanctity of her home, founded he life by turning on all the connection of those. Despite all the fears of those who have apprehensions that women are pulling away from the home and that the frothy foam of flapperism, floating on the surface of society, spells disaster, woman-kind still regard the home unit as the most important thing in our civilization. No doubt Mrs. Rodgers would have without flinching borne any pain or disaster; seen every worldly thing she had swept away; faced any sacrifice heroically except this one in which the one man she loved was snatched from her heart and home by another woman. No sorrow ever comes into a woman's life more searchingly cruel and cutting than this kind. It is the crisis under which she invariably cracks and goes to smash. A few of them meet it like Mrs. Rodgers; others snap their fingers and fling their bodies and souls into the vortex of dissipation and despair; still others bury their sorrow in silence in their memories like the death of a super until the end comes; but none of them completely survives it. That is why the instinct of decency and goodness dominates humanity and keeps the world moving in the right direction. Sh! Sh! Tell It Not In Gath Among the kindly advice which comes to this column from time to time is the importance of an appearance most often is the injunction to refrain from writing about certain public projects and needs for fear that too much public will spoil chances of getting them. Especially has this been true with reference to matters of public interest, such as the benefits of municipal governments. Approach any public official and ask what is to be done about any issues that arise. Nine cases out of ten you will receive a soothing reply with the teacher as it may prevent them from accomplishing the desired project. Do not give them the teacher as it may also echo our own leaders for if we keep quiet we will get much more. Do you may best serve professional politicians and public officials fearing criticism in the workplace, their duty, but it does not rise to the needs of modern citizenship. If you hire me to run your factory you would not be afraid or hesitant about telling them what you want to do, fearing inconsistencies of our so-called representative government is the hat-in-hand, fearing which citizens must approach those they select to attend to. That is why the pastime of cheating the group out of its rightful authority in our affairs continues so brazenly. Whining Dogs We have come so accustomed to ask for help in the table as seragus are plucked to it, that we have come to believe in the method.

If you cannot demand that the men you select to conduct your business at least look them squarely in the fact and let them know that you can let them know that you realize that when they keep one cent away from you in color; when they deny you one advantage that representative, government men will PLACE THEM IN THE CATEGORY OF DISHONEST MEN. You must have a better government if every citizen not only talked about, but voted and participated, as though it belonged to them.

PICKENS Colored children should have their intelligence and understanding fortified by the training of folles of the theirs; namely, the sporadic attempts to draw color within the Negro group. Imitating and reflecting the great American color palette, the lighter-skinned Negro exhibits a scorn of the darker-skinned; and occasionally the darker big man in New York City preaching scorn and ostracism of the lighter think, that the lighter-skinned Negro, in very natural imitation of the great white environment have been the aggressors in this dividing and weakening of the force of mixed blood, gated to the great white environments. Just a little philosophy and reasoning will serve to correct this error of mixed blood, whatever the degree of the mixture: for example, he can distinguish so much of himself as either black or white. Contempt in one of mixed blood directed at the Negro, must induce in that one a definite and inescapable inferiority to the presence of the opposite blood. The only person who could, with uninjured self-respect, enter a "opposite race," must be a person of entire white blood or entire Negro blood. He must be a person of entire black blood or necessarily confesses in his innermost self, where confessions are real black blood. He is in that proportion inferior to people who have all white blood, or if he scorns white blood, he confesses that in so far as he has white blood, he is in that proportion inferior to people who have all black blood, or if he haunts true of self-respect for the mixed blood is a firm and unyielded race, of equality, or the indifference, of race. Of course, among the unmixed whites, or those with blacked blacks, if there be such, the morons may still continue to despair and hate each other, and thus remain unmixed, unless ultimately cure for them in the slow improvement of intelligence and the history of man and perhaps the science of biology.

The past history of the Negro in relation to the republicans known to warrant a rehearsal here. -The primary concern is of the politician to manipulate himself from the chackles of a political party whose reward for his idolatrous devotion is the loss of his reputation from its inception more than a half century ago, and whose reward is a lone list of promises to the electorate. This is a question which should command itself to the judgment of the colored electorate. The unhappy politician, notwithstanding. The writer is not advocating the cause of any one near at hand when the Negro shall look at parties in the light of their present deformity, but he is advocating the tradition and sentiment. The Negro is loud in his praise of the American government. The one, the Negro says, acts as a check on the other, the Negro is good but he is good but he has turned it into a vicious evil. The Negro wants to be the matter of choice, but rather as a matter of course. Soon the advance of the South will begin their quadrennial advance upon the South for delegates, and in all probability, the advance and reelection of Calvin Coolidge. Already they have assured themselves there no cause for worry. Therefore. Mr. Coolidge is found pitching his vacation camp on the island of Sussex, trying if he may to soften the wrath and to allay the suspensions of his own country, which has never been so sure that its interests received the attention and sympathy at the hands of the admirals to which it felt it entitled. When this son of New England cradle of liberty and democracy, there were many who entertained the expectation, that to some extent we had the previous eight years of democratic control. But what a rude awakening that was prevalent in the government service at Washington, as though Vardaman of Mississippi in 1822, let the Negro forget his "leaders" and "spokesmen," weigh out each issue, and the issues presented, then consider himself as having long ago discharged his obligation to the Reconstructionist cast his ballot for the party where it will be most effective if, in a negro embrace of physical slavery; may he emancipate himself from political servitude.

To the Editor: Many of our hearts were made happy when you published the clipping from the Liberian paper, concerning Bishop Brooks. We have been looking for some time for a message in the AFRO from him. Yes, many friends were indeed sorry to hear of his arrest; yet we did not become alarmed. He had been our pastor and we knew him, not only to be a Christian gentleman and a good leader, but a man among men and capable of taking care of the situation. We know that his heart is in that work. And, we don't feel that our general church thoroughly appreciates his and Mrs. Brooks' great sacrifices for the church of their choice. When at Bethel Church he put eleven years in one, as he termed it. He was elected a bishop in 1920 and sent as far away as the Episcopal Committee had a place to send him from a work so successfully begun. I say begun for if the spirit of 1920 had continued where would it have been soaring to at this time? He left sparkling eyed and courageous hearted African Methodists anxious to continue to march forward. We wonder does that same committed note the change as it really is? In May, 1927 we saw those same African Methodists—hundreds and hundreds of them like warm confidence shaking, some hanging on the fence not knowing which way to go, others unconcerned. We believe if Bishop Brooks was over the 2nd Episcopal District we would have many encouraging lectures and sermons that would be benefit to hundreds of our church workers; yet we don't feel as Mr. Cook's head of our mission work does that he bites off more than he can chew. So, Mr. Editor, we are grateful to you for the comfort you give us in giving a word when you hear from the bishop.

To the Editor: Permit me to say that the volume, "Negro Labor" by H. Wesley is one of the most helpful, informing books with respect to our group I have ever read; and read a few books of my lifetime. Incidentally, I am greatly pleased that Dr. Wesley has given such a book of the oldest organizing forces of our group, born on the soil of Maryland. I refer to Isaac Myers. I went to Charles Wesley; and, yet he was in the very forefront as one of our great Nationalists, following the close of Civil War. It is a beautiful memento of Mr. Myer's work for the race in this country. Mr. Myer, the National Labor Union" is printed in the volume. It way my good fortune to know personally each of the workers, that early organization for the improvement of Negro labor. Mr. Myer was president, while Geo. C. Meyer was vice president, and Lewis Douglass, son of Frederick Douglass was secretary. Should not only possess this book, but better still. READ IT.

Neval Thomas Estimates His Appeals To Congress For Increased School Funds Have Resulted In $1,500,000 Additional Appropriations To the Editor: I am pleased, indeed, at your announcement of the celebration of the sixty-fourth birthday of Dr. Katherine L. Lissner, who could be more nitting. As an acquaintance and friend of thirty years, first as his student, I was struck by a struggle here for equality for the outraged Negro. I wish to enumerate a few of the outstanding services he has received us here through a generosity. In my student day at Howard we soon learned to love him. His never-er falling good nature, his depth of scholarship, his personal interest in the lives of his charges, and the more, his thinking of his scholarship with the thought of the world. Instead of simply drawing his salary and letting the public opinion of the nation work and grow against us; all of these soon made him the idol of a virile, ambitious, hardworking and self-supporting student body. At George Washington U. I remember how we boys of the University went to the meeting of the national convention of The National Association for Social Science to hear him set our cause before this great group of white scholars. At the readiness of the Columbia University since changed to George Washington University, where Negroes cannot attend. The powerful Charles Dudley Warner had just been here and delivered a damaging attack upon the Negro, and he knew that the scholars at this collection would do the same way interest was keyed up. The highest pitch. Anthroologist, ethnologist, sociologist, and theologian were there with unanimity in their placement of the Negro in the substratum of civilization. The toward the last of the program this black young man loomed like a gladiator. He was vast learning blasted everside attack. Public Schools Then, in 1900 there was one of those frequent upheavals in our publications to find a spokesman. He left his chair, rushed to the capitol, and brought away a schoolmate, a man and the interests of the black teacher and child safeguarded, and our interests were threatened. And the white supervisor was trying to emasculate the courses of congress to hear him defend the Negro, the children's capacity and deserts, and the schoolboy, a black white officer. It was my pleasure to sit through three weeks before a committee of congress to hear him defend the Negro, the children's capacity and deserts, and the schoolboy, a black white officer. As a result of his championship of our interests there, answering to our requests to fight against the race, he came away from Congress with this white officer legislated out of office, and his office Equal Salaries Yes, even more, equality of salary for white and black, autonomy in the segregated schools, and identity of courses of training. The best of us here have never fully appreciated the fulness of that service, and the magnitude of the injury which these institutions inflicted upon us through the years. Aid To Public Schools Subsequent municipal officers, and often even school officers, through either covardice, prejudice, hindrance, or neglect, the Negro should not only be segregated but be cheated out of their school facilities in the allotments of equipments for black and white schools. Seeing that no greater effort is than to look after the education of the youth, and that the greatest handicap to adequate facilities, I decided twenty years ago to give up all hope of promotions, and even the term of the people of the capital and then nation to the inroads that were stealthily made upon their fundamental interests. Million And A Half In all of these years, and the fight has had to be made nearly every year, the president has appealed, and has helped to besiege Congress, the board of education, and appropriations, and thanks to Congress for readjustments of budgets, and something from the struggle. It is safe to say, that during these years, the populace taught them from their lethargy, and bred school at least a million, and a half more than we would have come, we not made these freeway fight. Recent Articles During the long and faithful administration of Archibald H. Grimke, Müller in fighting one of the many pieces of hostile legislation which he faced, and many times defeated. As his successor in office he can bear testimony to the same truth, and not opposed to his recent aide in the Current History magazine. I think he and every white man who sits in the power of power, will testify that the those expressed in that recent publication, and are so those of Dr. Müller, who speeches, and acts of service. My opinion is that he is too great and good, and that too serviceable to be crushable. Rebuke To Presidents His writings have run the whole gamut of our interests. He bought a book on the Brooksville issue upfront, even on the Brownville issue upfront, and on the Brooksville issue and intolerant. He leveled his mighty darts at President Taft when he was in the twelfth century. Scott decision of the twelfth century. He defended us time and again from Woodrow Wilson, who, in his book he hadn't read, insisted Harding look like a school boy who hadn't prepared his lessons when he hadn't been taught God and Science had placed the Negro in the scheme of the Univers; and criticised without fear or favor the administration, even bravely and wisely writing the ablest arguments for election of the Democrat Davis came from any pen, black or white. He even defied the mercellus *Murray* act, not-headed judges, and its armies of graffers and spies when he wrote that unsurpassed work of *Veronica* camps and government controlled libraries—"The Digrace of Democracy."
