The rigid censorship of mail and its interception is still preventing the regular receipt of correspondence to the Republic. But in spite of all the precautions by the postal authorities at Port-au-Prince the evasion of this censorship is occasionally possible by resorting to warmer communication. Mr. Thibby, about a year ago, was imprisoned for a period of forty days, without trial, during which activities for Haitian freedom were only to be resumed Upon his release. Protest Consecration The most recent outrage is the imprisonment by the U. S. supported President Borio and the Occupation of three journalists, Jacques Rounal, Pierre Quirrel and Jean-Pierre against the concession of two French priests as bishops in Haiti when there are Haitian priests, trained abroad, fully qualified for this elevation to the bishopric, and Recognition, however, of these French priests, is undoubtedly due to the alliance of the French-Catholic clergy with the Borno-regime and with the American Occupation, because (Continued on Page. 7) 128-OFFERED CABINET POST JEW OFFERED CABINET WASHINGTON, D.

ROBERT BENNETT Does the Bible refer to black people? Noting these words at the beginning of your leading article, on your Religious page of December 29th, issue of the AFRO-AMERICAN, page 4. I was amazed at the answer reported to be given by a writer in the current issue of the Crisis, and amused by the answer, which said writer advanced in proof of his negation. However the writer may be he at best lamentably in... of authentic knowledge of the Holy Scriptures, as exposed by proper research of the original canon of Scripture in the original tongue.

Original work is absurd in the writer to attempt the use of the Vulgate or Latin version of the Scriptures as proof or authority prior to the natural Hebrew canon. Canon 10 of Scripture is HEBREW. This Hebrew Canon of Scripture was completed long before the Greek version of the Hebrew Canon of Scripture was completed immediately following the return from the Great Babylonish mission to the Scripture Catechism and Prophet. While the Vulgate or Latin version of the Scriptures came several centuries later, even to the Septuagint, being revised and updated for use in the *Test* by St. Jerome, in 380 D. D. Song of Solomon - Poetic Second. The Song of Solomon is an authoritative piece is portioned into Hebrew Canon. Its assigned place in the Canon, is in the Hagiographic, immediately following the Song of Psalms in the following诗篇-Poemai, Proverba, Job, Can- tarium Cantacurum etc. The Song of Songs is one of the Poetical Books of the Hebrew. It partakes of the structure of a pastoral diacritic replete with local coloring. It is in a large sense Dramatic poetry. It may be interpreted as comparable to a Comedy Drama possessing thirteen cantos of almost equal length, with regular beginnings and endings and with pause. The whole forms four acts, the actors being a Hero, a Maiden and a chorus of women. Salemers Didn't Write It The Song of Songs, if not written by King Solomon, was undoubtedly produced in his era, possibly by the Prophet Hezekiah or some of his contemporaries, however is to King Solomon and to incidents occurring during his life and reign. Two thirds of the Song refer To Us to the refer nce to Colored or Black peoples. Approximately two thirds of the Hebrew Scriptures deal with the Jew's relations with Black peoples. The Jews themselves were Semites. They were not white — color, yellow, reddish — but to a light cream complexion. It must be remembered the Jews, origin of Caledon, it was out of Ur of the Caledos, Abdram Abram the Caledon, the Jewish Caledon was the original tongue of Abram from which Hebrew is derived.

BROOKLYN PASTOR'S WIFE BURIED BROOKLYN PASTOR'S WIFE BURIED BROOKLYN, N. Y.-Mrs. Ada E. Tyler, 45, wife of the pastor of Bridge Street A. M. E. Church, finally succumbed to a prolonged illness six months and died Saturday morning. Her husband, relatives and friends were at her bedside at the time of death. Mrs. Tyler was a native of Washington, D. C. coming to Brooklyn with her husband. She was an active worker in church church life and a valuable helpmeet in every way to her busy husband. Having no children in all the many years of her married life, she dedicated the cause of the church and race. Especially was she active in all uplift work concerning the youth of the race. She was a husband, a devoted father, two sisters and a brother. The funeral services were conducted on Tuesday afternoon at 1 p.m. from the Bridge Street Church, including a memorial with people. Two bishops and several ministers of other denominations as well as about a score of pastors of the A. M. E. Church were present. The body lay in state from ten o'clock Tuesday morning until the hour. At the funeral service with time thousands passed before the bier. Would Include Pageant In Inaugural Program WASHINGTON, D.

She did Adadahul his brother love her. Adonijah lost his life because of his imprudence in petitioning Bathsheba, after the death of King David, to inquire Solomon to give him Abishag to wife. (cf.

The Shulamite girl was a descendant of Kedar, the second son of Ishmael, who was the son of Abraham and Harae the Egyptian hand- Kedar Means Black "Kedar Means black," she wears black. So too the Hebrew word used in this passage, "Shecharcoreh," is derived from "shecorah" which means black. She is black in the states. She is black in the Kedareens, the Northern Arabian or Bedouins, desert wanderer, after Ishmael their father, and black or very dark in complexion, live with the sun casting on them. In the Septuaght she is made to say, "the sun has been gazing at me," married to helois Gexe (Gexe v. 13): the states the Kedareens remained in Arabia unt' the time of the Mohammedms. No Color Prejudice . . . Bible Times But the girl the girl was making for her color, she was simply stating a fact *that* which she modestly proud. In that day there was no color prejudice as we know it.

Williams' Believes Men Of Future Will Continue To Accept Bible BERATES "SMART ONES" Warns Of Substitutes Offered By Science And Letters "After years of experiments man has awakened to the fact that only one kind of food can give eternal life, and that 'Jesus Christ.' This in substance was the trend of discourse by Re. W. H. (Father) Williams, in the morning service of Mt. Horem-Baptist Church, Sunday. The text of the argument was taken from St. John 6:50, and the speaker made a comparison the various foods man utilizes today with the spiritual bread referred to in the text, saying in part: "Mankind for a long time has consumed and feasted on certain cereals, liquids and meats which science claims are life-gi" but it is no secret that the span of life is shorter today than it w. 500 years ago. "And aside from food taken in as nourishment of our physical solves, man has tried pleasures, wealth and distinction to satisfy an interest, but these too like the material fall to extend the number of days." The minister believes that the religion of Jesus Christ and his mother could give nutrition to a world for 1929 years and scouted the theory that the coming generations would ultimately get away from the fundamental teachings of the Bible. "Christians must, die naturally just as sinners do, but the difference is that one is translated, while the other is spoken to the woman who is bold enough to take the Holy Communion and at the same time being at variance with a Lother on stage only to be followed by the saints. Both are grievous ans, I know not, which is worst." Smart Ones Concluding, the speaker challenged the "smart ones", as he called them, who are ourest of the authenticity of the Bible. "The faith of a Christian grows to knowledge, that why we say we know there is that the Holy God and that the Holy God was inspired direct from God to man. Critics of our religion and the Bible must offer a better substitute than the present ment or quilt. We have not borne we shall be told to what "have". PASTOR'S SALARY SPLIT CHURCH PHILAD?

AFRO MOVIE 100 Pastors At Double Funeral 100 Pastors At Double Funeral Orange County, Va.—An atmosphere of sorrow never before experienced prevailed this community when final rides for the 1975 parade for 17 years pastor of Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, Washington, and his sister, Mrs. Roxie Prince, of Philadelphia, church of the Alvary Baptist Church here, Sunday. The brother and sister, both natives of Orange County, succumbed within a few days of each other last week. Mrs. Prince died in Philadelphia, and Mr. Prince survived for several years on last Sunday. The Rev. Willis died in his home at 1918 Riggs street, Washington, D. C. Wednesday night at 10:30 a.m. days after receiving the word of his sister's death. Funeral services were conducted by the Rev. W. J. Madden, who succeeded the Rev Willis 1915 pastor of Vermont Avenue Church, called to the pastor, *e* of the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church in 1911. To Conduct Evangel At Maced JINX AGAIN FALLS ON MADISON AVE. CHURCH To Conduct Evangelistic Campaign At Macedonia Baptist Church Project To Buy White Edifice Again Halted Over Mortgage Tangle MAY COMPLETE PLANS New Price Put At $57,000 The "Jint" which, has intervened in the transactions of the Madison avenue church at the corner of Madison and Lafayette avenues, has again fallen on an attempt to purchase this edifice by a local church and the deal has been at least temporarily halted. The latest transaction involved the sale of the Cosmopolitan A. M. E. Church and their present edifice to the Great Southern eminent Lodge, 30 for a bodge hall. The congregation of the church closed a deal for the white edifice at a consideration of $7,500. it is said, and bargained to sell their equity in the present building to make the purchase price of $7,500. Plans Halted Discovery of a mortgage conflict halted the plans after the Lady Eks had paid $3000 on account that the deal was off sifted through 1-8 bodies. Mrs. Octavia Washington, one of the leaders in the lodge movement, told a reporter for the APRO-AMERICAN that rumors of a bodge building the lodge were false but admitted that there had been some little misunderstanding that had temporarily halted the deal. It is believed to have been the cropping out of a mortgage on the Cosmopolitan church property which the lodge did not know of until they had paid the $3,000. The church must complete its contract to take over the church by January 26 it is said. Third Fitchers This is the third time the Madison avenue church has been sold to a colored congregation. It was bought by the Zion C. M. E. church but relinquished after the first payment was made. Then it formed the cause, of the controversy in the Union Baptist church when officials of that body broke with the pastor over a deal to buy it for $70,000. Genuine BAYER ASPIRIN $57,000 The double funeral was the second held over the remains of the deceased divine father, the deceased provided the church to pay a final tribute to their beloved pastor on the previous day. More than forty members of the family came with the body from Washington by a special funeral coach supplied by the Southern. At the services in Washington more than 100 ministers participated. Brith bodies were interred in the family lot in Mount Calvary Cemetery. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Martha Willis, his father, Mr. Elick Willis, Mrs. Marsh Willis, his mother, Mrs. Marsh Willis, Mrs. Lizzie Van Dusen, Mrs. Idle Bibbs, Mrs. Dora Pitcher, Mrs. Maggie Carter and Alexander, Ralph, Booker, Charles,詹姆斯 and Willis. The death of Rev. Mr. Willis leaves vacant the puppet of the largest colored Baptismal service. He is not a member of membership, and will probably be recalled as the "home" of the much beloved Rev. George W. Lee. **Historic Campaign** Indiana Baptist Church REV. O. J. ALLEN, A.B., D.D. We cordially invite the public to hear the man of God. Rev. O. J. Peterson, J. E.

PREACHERS QUIZZ DR AINSLIE ON JIM CROW WIFE WAS INTERESTED Questions to recent trade ban, lynchings in the South and Jim Crow wer discussed by Dr. Peter Ainslea, noted Christian Temple pastor and world peace advocate, in an address before the Minsters' Alliance at Grace Presbyterian Church last Thursd. The questions were raised following his address in which he touched on recent movements looking towards church unity and world peace and when Dr. Ernest Lyon and others knew that colored people were barred from certain stores in Baltimore. Wife Interested In his replies it developed that Dr. Ainslea not only knew about the ban but that his wife had been interested and had taken troops to some if not all stores. Several white groups where the store bans had been discussed had expressed themselves as thorny disapproving the matter, he said. Jim Crow Wrong When sat on the chair, Dr. Ainslew made up to explain that there was a change taking place and a number of upstanding people were taking the position that this was entreaty wrong and should be done away with. To substantiate his argument, the pastor called attention to the fact he spoke at the Virginia university and he said on his way down he sat in the wrong seat. Later on a little colored girl got on the car and because there were no more cars over and gave her a part of his seat. At this the white people in the coach expressed disapproval of the pastor. Old Dr. Ainslew he was violating the law of Virginia and that either he would have to get up or the girl Dr. Ainslew said the doctor didn't. General Robert E. Lee would do what he (Dr. Ainslew) was doing if he were alive? At this the conductor told him to sit still and he would take a chance on losing his The next day in his lecture at the university, Dr. Alsins told of this incident and pointed out how sadd the whooping bird was. He was the president of the university that he, the president, believed that two thirds of the audience felt the same way about the situation. Dr. Alsins advised "that the situation was bad, but at least it real progress would be made." The Ministerial Alliance will have its regular meeting next month which time election committee will take place. The committee was also pointed to make arrangements for a protest meeting to be held about the Mississippi lynchings.

THOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER Jauary. 1914 The governor recommends in his message to the legislature a minimum school term of seven months and an adequate appropriation for the formal School at Bowie. State legislature It is to be hoped that the legislature will forego all its former ideas of what ought to be done for the colored people of this state and for once make adequate appropriations for the public schools of the state. schools of the state. In some of the counties not one cent, outside of the state appropriation, is made for colored schools; and the result is that in Anne Arundel and Howard counties the school terms are less than 90 days. When the Negro is charged with crime beyond that of his white neighbor and brother, is it any wonder when he is allowed to grow up with only two months, schooling? S. M. Mussaj Mrs. Flukers' Radio Mrs. Callie Flickers lives next on the north side. She has just purchased a radio. It's all electric and has an orthophonic, extra loud dynamic speaker. nailstick. Sister. Cailie likes her radio. She never fails to start it on or before seven o'clock each morning, and she turns it off the next day around these days. It makes me in the morning when I'd like to sleep late. It keeps me awake nights when I'd wake up. Mrs. Flukers undoubtedly thinks she's doing an a favor. From the way that radio sounds, she appears to have stationed it against the wall that divides our houses, so the wall acts as a sounding board. I hear every piece as distinctly as if it were in my room. There's a sturdy silly about the Honorable Catherine. New Year's Day, it was warm. She opened her windows and shared her radio with everybody in the block. I heard it when I got off the street car coming home from work. Generous, did I say? Yes, almost lavish. Mrs. Flukers likes jazz and especially blues. the loud, vibrant, bellowing, full lunged, 'aucous, blatant blues. Papa, No, "laments Victoria Spivey" — Bessie Smith sings those "Washerwoman Blues."

A resolution calling on the New York City Federation of Churches (white), to make a study of "discrimination against Negroes in hotels and restaurants and of the public attitudinethere discrimination against them week at the closing session of the two-day Seminar on the Church and Race Relations at the Russell Sage Foundation. So long as the pastor and church member of 60 years ago was a slave-holder, the church was a supporter of the above system. How can the white church be an effective agent or the motherhood when its pupils at the news are closed to Negroes? Somewhat ago the AFRO-AMERICAN canvassed leading white ministers of Baltimore. Not one would agree to exchange pulpits with a colored minister on Race Relations Sunday. Is the situation different in New York? Is the situation clear? Can the church ask the hotel and the restaurant to take the notes out of their eyes when the beam in the eye of the church is so glaring? What Is News? "If a dog bites a man," said a famous New York editor, "that's no news." "If a man bites a dog, that is news." By analogy, Dr. R. B. Moton, speaking before a microphone in the Sunday Evening Club of Chicago, recently said: "White men and black men do not have so much trouble. It is much more trouble between white and white and black and black than between white and black. The difference is that when two white men fight or two black men fall out, there's no news in it. If a black man strikes a white man, that's news, and we hear of it. The moral is that we must get used to black and white man pummelling each other without the rest of us joining in and making out of it a race riot. "White men and black men do not have so much trouble. There is much more trouble between white and white and black and black between white and white and black, is that where white men fight or two black men fall there's no news in it. If a black man strikes a white man, that's news, and we hear of it." The moral is that we must get used to a black and white man pummelling each other without the rest of us joining in and out of it, a race riot. Garvey Magic "The greatest conclave of the Negro in the world" is the way Mr. Marcus Garvey advertises the sixth annual International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World, under the auspices of the U. N. I. A. to be held at Kingston, Jamaica, British West Indies. August first to thirty-first, 1929. Mr. Garvey was sent to prison on June 12, 1923, on the eve of his annual convention of that year. In 1928 a convention was called which outstretched its reach and elected new officers. Without the presence of Mr. Garvey himself, his organization crumbled. Inside prison walls, he struggled to build it up. Freed last year, he planned a convention in Canada, which not only muzzled, but deported him when he landed there several weeks ago. This week, Mr. Garvey, back in Jamaica, calls the convention in his home town. Is there magic in the Garvey call which sounds from the minaret of his temple to all devout members? Listen to it: "Delegates shall attend from all parts of the world." "Excursion ships (not ship) to sail from New York with American delegates and tourists to reach Jamaica, July 30, 1929." He plans: Negro embassies in large cities of all nations, A union of the Negro church through the world. A line of steamships—A new Black Star Line. A delegation of twelve to the League of Nations. a daily paper in London, Paris, Berlin, Washington. economic of agricultural lands in Africa. political and social freedom of the Negro. a budget of $600,000,000 in ten years.

Affection. To them, mutilating the body of a criminal was more than a public spectacle and a circus. It was an evidence of elemental blood thirst and indication of race superiority. Vindication of Tutee What is the answer? Our reply is a federal anti-lynching law. Mississippi led the union with five out of eleven states. en U.S. lynching Suppose the federal anti-lynching law were in Five counties of Mississippi would be compelled to pay the families of the mob victims $10,000 each—a total of $50,000. Five sheriffs and the deputies would face five years in the penitentiary and a fine of $5,000 each. The United States grand juries in five counties would find out and indict ringleaders of five mob with equal fines and be forced to think Mississippi would be willing to pay that price for its great public spectacles? We think not. Diversion (By the SAGE OF THE PATAPSCO) Were there not a variety of things about us to offset certain other things this indeed would be a monotonic old world and the most of the inhabitants would be crazy. Just another sure shot argument that the earth and its keepers was the plan of a Supreme Being. I believed one owner of a woman who woman had arranged among the list of Christians on the church roster, had to tote the mark every minute of every day, but this impression vanished when I saw the pastor and some consoring rooting at a hall game. I was perfectly clear to me that a college course and foot-ball be served as one meal from the same platter. Statistics Statistics have 'proved that most of the cases of insanity are not hereditary, but directly traceable to undue concentration on a certain study or belief, the bulk of them classified as religious fanatics trying to read all of the Bible andigest the same, which is without doubt evidence In Love My observation is that uninterrupted pondering over books, money or love, will head you in for the "port of crazy men." I was in love once and it got so bad and I took nothing to relieve it until now my actions are not "all there," although Ancient history and autobiographies of noted poets, scientists and statesmen, openly expose a diversion from their hobbies to strange revenues and dissipations which kept their lives alive and at the same time furnished us with helpful There comes to memory a case, in which the program is divided into two parts, to seek diversion, and this is the program briefly: On Saratoga Street Strode out Saratoga street to N. Monroe, to Edmondson, and paused on the railway bridge at Edmondson station, where I went through the process of munching ginger snaps and watching Pensy trains go and come to and fromington, wondering if I knew any of the passengers, where they were waiting for the time, where I ride as long as I desired, on the train before I, "jashed in." Time Of Day And while I stopped chewing (so as to think) a small white boy approached and asked me what time it was, and never owning a camera time the name of one of the traffic cops on the moon, but I guessed at it and the boy either accepted it or found out later that I was a liar. I certainly knew. And while I stopped chewing (so as to think) a small white boy approached and asked me what name I was. I asked, "Mary," and with I found. I could have as easily told him the name of one of the traffic cops on the moon, but I guessed at it and the boy either accepted it or not. I was also as a liar. I certainly being diverted, however. Again I thought of what a dreadful thing it would be if that locomotive would leave the rail while it was moving. I could not figure life. I could not figure out why the block signal dropped down as soon as the engine passed. On History My amusement shifted again when an invalid white man, perhaps 80, stopped opposite me and started a conversation that was informing me about the state between the states that are unrecorded in history and he knows a lot about Maryland too. If what he told me was true, I don't see how the historians managed to overlook so much. I was diversioned, and I, and actually felt better started back. Corn Liquor And I'm converted wholly to the belief that variety is necessary to correct living. Of course, all amusements are not the same, for while one may prefer the brand new wines of corn whiskey, or instead of a quiet moving picture, a night in the midst of cabaret peaches 'till the dawn. The best preachers I ever heard (and that's what I am) do a sermon in 45 minutes and mix in a few jokes. Just enough splice to flavor deliciously. That's why the late Charles Stewart and D. Webster Davis were so popular as lecturers—profound and humorous; they were also the best to Dean William Pickens, whose wit is natural? A Good Show If you are brooding over a list of post-holiday bills and debts, better stop it and take in a good show; if you're wrapped about with trouble, listen to some good advice; if marital disarray, talk to the player plano or radio, and you will last longer. What do you suppose preachers go to conventions and associations for? And why do lodge members almost fight? And why do the President go off occasionally? And why does the President go off occasionally? The diversion, my boy, the diversion—no matter what the alibi is. Dance Hall A minister once saw a recent convert coming out of a dance hall, and asking the erring brother "how come?" he replied: "You see, parson, when I hear good preaching I am in for it, and when I see good daydreams I am in for it, and when I see good goodness, but it bespoke variety, and that is more conducive to length of days than bottles of patent medicine. RECEIPTS of four Maryland race tracks last year amounted to $695,151. To Jewish and Catholic charities and to the Community Fund, Baltimoreans pledged in 1928, $490,478. Horse racing is a more profitable business than charity in Maryland. MY SANCTUARY Lord, when I am very weary, I have sought my sanctuary, Up there in the attic, where I might kneel in secret prayer. Up above the rush and din. Were no voice of man comes in, There beside my humble cot, Lost in Thee, the world forgot. I have fallen, Lord before Thee. Till I felt Thy presence over me, And my soul that blessed hour Being filled with grace and power: But up there I do not tarry; I've a face, away to care; To my fellows who are weary, But have not a sanctuary. So I seek the rush and din. Come in touch with vice and sin; See their marks on storm-best faces In the damp and squalid places. But I take them by the hand, And, somehow, they understand; For the touch that I have given Lifts their faces up to Heaven.

What course has been followed in the development of such a plan and the way of guidance? Thousands of them have gone into seasonal occupations through the lure of high wages, enrocking the jobs nearer to home, while a promise of being the more dependable and a promise of being the more lasting. The proposition of inquiring into a job as to its permanency or its stability has not adversely affected the canners and the fruit and potato and strawberry owners with mindful abandon and with the work at hand accomplished, have been permitted to openings until the next seasonal invitations arrive.

RIZENZI B. LEMUS, Pres. brotherhood of Dining Car Employees, Washington, D. C. RIENZI B. LEMUS, of Dining Car Employees. "GOOD WILL" GOOD WILL TOUR THE DAILY NEWS MISS. MOB LINCHESTER MAP HOOVER PRO B. NORTON Absolute need of race-wide Conference to put-before Mr. Hoover a political program for 1929. Clarence Matthews' 14 points recalled. No consideration for the Negro unless he commands it. The year 1929 will mark a significant turn in the political history of the Negro race. A r. administration will be inaugurated, whose mind on the race questions is as a tabula erasa. Mr. Hoover comes into the kingdom with a background and experience, which are wholly commer- and exponent par excellence of ecocial and material. He is an expert counselor, showed him numerous issues. His several speeches to be a Republican of the persuasion of the late James G. Blaine. The Fourteenth and tenth centuries not form a part of his discourse of universe. He has the birthright of a Quaker conscience, the back-ground of a home state that has witnessed the birth of societies as regards the darker breeds of men, Asiatic and African, a world experience of dealing with non-white peoples as industrial and social workers, and a lifelong life of official life as head of the Department of Commerce. The normal bent of his nature is in the direction of business and commercial prosperity, and he was called to the kingdom at such a time as this. He owes the Negro little by way of assistance, and has promised, him nothing. The Negro has been eliminated as a political issue by both major parties. They both solicit his vote in the pinch of the election, but with equal solidity avoid the troublesome issue of his right to vote. Inauguration Under the old regime the rights of man as embodied in the amended Constitution constituted an important political dynamic, posing or negating the power of the president died away at Kansas City ties. This dynamic died away at Kansas City and at Houston. The positive and negative attitudes of the two parties met at the zero point. Years gone by the Inauguration brought to Washington expectant Negro politicians from all parts of the land, hopefully awaiting to be appointed to be appointed to administer to somewhere. But no such hopes will swell the breast of the ambitious Negro politician on March fourth, 1929. And yet the Negro constitutes a powerful presence by virtue of his electoral potentiality. 2.000.000 Voters No political party would wislish ignore five million potential Negro votes, two-fifths of whom are vote is denatured through the lack of competence, unless this incompetence to secure its just and 'righteous dues. The woman vote, the labor vote, the farm vote, the Ku Klux vote, will all be made to powerfully the respective groups by virtue of skillful management. But the Negro is treated as a political nonentity simply by a reason of his political identity, and to secure from the government any degree of consideration or favor except in so far as it has the courage to demand and the power to command. It was not from the Negro that promised instant farm relief but from love of the farmers' vote. Program Every group of voters, except the Negro, has a formulated program which it presses in and out of season upon the powers that be. They put their requests in the form of implied penalty of withdrawal of political support. The Negro alone relies upon the gratis, grace and goodness of the administration. I have asked a dozen Negro politicians to play the race in matters political, "What may the Negro expect from the incoming administration?" The unvarying reply is that they have, confidence in the goodness of the Negro, should know to his bitter regret that good administrative intentions form the best paying material for the streets of hell. Clarence Matthews Once upon a time there was a political leader, Glarence W. Mattei, who was the program for the race embodied in a statement of fourteen points. This program was awarded. These fourteen points were presented to President Coolidge whose administration intended, for the race, and yet Never despise the old hoe, before you have tried out the new one. they were waved aside with the left hand because there was no political pressure back of them to give the demands e-activeness. The voice of Mr. Matthews passed by as the idle wind which the administration respected not. Nor will any administration demand from the Negro unless it is knocked up by the power of command. Had the solid political power of the race upheld the hands of the ruling powers to understand that this is what the race expected as the reward of past loyalty, and there would have been a different tale to tell. Race-Wide Conference I suggested some weeks back that there should be called a race-wide conference of political program to be presented to the incoming administration. All Negro politicians can readily agree upon the apples of discord, although the personnel of expectant political receivers might prove to be the apple of discord. This would be effective by mere inside persuasion on the part of those who claim to have the ear of the President. This thing not be a threat. This program should be formulated and presented before the fourth of March, so as to become an essential part of the program. This would not merely a negligible aftermath. No other interest is sitting dumbly and supinely by relying upon the President's work as is the slothful colored American. Constructive Suggestions The incoming administration must be receptive to competent suggestions because of its obvious desire to construct the South. So far the Negro contingent has been handled ruthlessly. The Negro leadership in the old sense of the term has been shunted away. The Negro must place for the Negro in the new order of things. Surely Mr. Hoover does not wish to leave the Negro politically worse off than he found him. Constructive suggestions would undermine income in the formulation of the new policy. National Committees The Republican and Democratic National Committees are planning for permanent organizations so as to function more effectively in the convention. Both of these bodies have adopted the policy of setting up colored auxiliary committees to keep the party alive and to voters who might be disposed to follow the political fortune of their respective parties. Why should not both parties set up permanent committees to hold the Negro vote in line? At present the Negro's political interest is spasmodic and intermittent. It brea's forth only during quadrennial campaigns, no consistent desire to persist. All that either party wants from the Negro is his vote; but the Negro wants for himself all of the rights and perogatives involved in that he sees his role in keeping his ever-lastingly on the nail.

Baltimoreans Comment On "Amalgamation And Solution of The Race Problem." QUESTION: Do you believe with Dr. Kelly Miller that Amalgamation will not be the solution of the Race Problem? Thomas H. Smith, V. M. G. A. Dr. Miller avenue: "No sir, I do not think amalgamation will solve the race problem. "It would be better if we had no foreign blood in our veins. "Furthermore, we have had a test of amalgamation from the South and the mutuates thought themselves better than the other Negroes. A half-breed of anything is not as good as a thorough breed. I believe amalgamation would just be a hindrance to race. "You remember that Christ told the Jews not to mix, and several of the tribes wiped out the earth, and out of that race of Jews, Christ came." Bernard Young, 1740 Drud Hill avenue: "The testimony of history, of how races living under conditions identical with ours found solution of their problems in amalgamation, in immigration, in the race problem only solution of the race problem in America." George T. Mosby, pharmacist, 1215 Drud Hill avenue: "Amalgamation will not be the final solution of the race problem only solution of the race problem will be through some economic force. when we become a dominating factor in economics." Dr. C. V. Decasseres, Provident Assurance, 1740 Drud Hill avenue and I meet. Therefore, amalgamation is the only solution to the race problem." M. L. Calloway, professor of biology, Morgan College: "According to Morgan College, amalgamation will not solve the race problem." Miss Hermione Wharton, 2019 Division school, says, "I agree with Kelly Miller but not entirely." Think that amalgamation will solve the race problem, but since the foreign race problem is not as keen as ours, it should left to a world solution." Ithur Stevens, photographer, Penn Studio: "I disagree with Kelly Miller on this matter of amalgamation. I believe that amalgamation will solve the economic problem, in making it easier to obtain more lucrative employment, and this done I feel the racial problem will gradually die out." The problem is really an economic one." Tazewell Johnson, teacher, Douglass High School: "Kelly Miller is an extremely long period it does seem that the intermxture and fusion of racial stocks will work to disillusion all do not believe that this will be a final solution to the problem." Dr. James R. Blake. 924 N. Madison street: "Like Kelly Miller, I do not believe the can be solved by an amalgamation. George Jordan, Starn and Hill streets: "I did believe that the race question could be solved by an amalgamation. I did believe that Kelly Miller's editorial, I am beginning to get away from my original beliefs." William H. Holland, 425 N. Caroline street: "Analgama can I solve this problem in many years and must; be universal." Rev. John Waters, 141 W. Hill street; *Amalgamation.* a misguided belief, because the legitimate amalgamation was tried unconsciously during *slavery* for about 250 years between the first off-spring, nevertheless were desolled and hated by the fader ones. Secondly, "In those states which allow" lived marriages, and "In those which are untraditional by their respective races. Nothing but the spirit of Jesus Christ who taught the brotherhood of man will eliminate social barriers." WK. N. JONES A Big Chance For Baltimore Business A proposition to hold a business exhibit next month, suggested by the Rev. Charles E. Stewart, Trinity A. M. E. Church, is not only timely but should meet a heart response from business man and woman in the city. This exhibit, as planned, is intended to create a working relation between the masses of Baltimore who spend $45,000,000 years, and the business man who get less than TEN PER CENT of the money passed through their business channels. From the purely selfish standpoint it should include the business man and the father or mother who wonder what their children are going to be doing a few years hence. It also might serve as a nucleus for bringing together a group of retail and retail merchants' association to promote their own interest. Not only do the masses need some education which these programs would provide, but the business community would understand to understand in this modern business world modern methods of organization and publicity are essential to competitive success. When stores established fifty years ago it would need to keep their wares daily before their clientele, and to maintain elaborate cooperative organization for force concerns to think they can compete with them on any other basis. The movement should also communicate support of every professional man in the city for the educational consequences will reach them no less than the business men. Just What Is Your Racket? "Well, what is your racket?" a high school girl jestingly asks in sub-deb parade. You read in the papers daily occurrences of bootleggers, hijackers, political graffers, exploiters of women, drug peddlers and of men and women who contribe to get money other than in the real world, not realize what extent many of the daily business, professional and even religious and humanitarian transactions are taking on women, and if we take the strict definition of the term, that o' contriving to get money other than by honest service for the amount of money we want, actions would easily come under the stigma of "racket." Up at a local church several months ago an evangelist using a small stigma of "racket" swollen cloths and grabs. succeeded in making thousands of good natured people believe he was sanctifying ten cents coin and larger coins in envelopes. That was his "racket." On the records of the Ballimore Orphans Court is a case of a lawyer who persuaded a little home and mother of two children, to make him their administrator. Before the estate was sold, the lawyer had to have it appraised several times to bring it down to a ridiculously low price, figuring into it for the estate, and reducing the kids to dependence upon relatives. That was his "racket," perfectly "legal," but accomplishing the same thing, and used a mask and a blackclack. "Racket" In The Real Estate Field A would-be home owner brought recently to the attention of the AFRO-AMERICAN Business and Real Estate Association, a local real estate dealer, working through white financiers, had put through a deal in which he had paid $3,860 on a $8,000 piece of property during the summer of 2010. The real estate dealer and the white money lenders had absorbed all of this money in bonuses, commissions and fees. It was legal but, because he was morally criminal as if it had been done in a skin game. This writer knew a wealthy physician in a southern city medically speaking at a conference and urged them to follow his example by not completely cursing certain kind of cases until a sufficient fee had been collected. That was his "racket" and closely ally his spain which makes men sell poison pills. And the unfortunate thing is that we are setting up certain kinds of accomplishments in which men and women are successful, and they are modeling for young men and women. Children naturally allured by her worship, seeing them set at the pinnacle of social, church and fraternal organizations, conclude that all right money, by a social matron who will go into "complitions" at the mere mention of a natural moral lapse will fall down at the shrine, worship the people who take care of the exploitation which down to moral degradation thousands of innocent men and women and children. The high school girl who asks justly "what is your rock?" may pass this question in a serious way in our use of just what we in our possession that we did not honestly get? Are we good square in our business? Are we using any superior advantages to freeze our less fortunate neighbors? Are we below "the "racket" group. How Our Heroes Have Changed Calvin Coolidge, first man of the land, sits in a well selected spot down in Georgia and shoots poor little ducks that hunt numerous hunters with his gun. That is modern sport for kings and worn out monarchs, but it does not set the red blood of American "he-men" tingling much. The spirit that men met forth in the past often offers more deep seated traits of character than that they pat tray under the working spot. 40 DELEGATES AT ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA College Sorority Selects St. Louis For Its 1929 Session OFFICERS RE-ELECTED Scholarship Awards To New York And Philadelphia Nashville, Tenn. - - "On to St. Louis in 1929" is the slogan of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, which ended its eleventh annual boutie here Monday afternoon, December 31.

PHILADELPH: A.-Frederick Massiah, 1342 Magnus street, engineer and contractor, was the winner of the second Harmon Award for 1924 and bronze medal in business for 1928. The apartment at 63rd and Walnut streets was one of the he fastest construction being completed in 67 working days. The 12 story building represented a $2,500,000 investment. Four weeks were used in its construction. City engineers were so impressed with the model beam and girder work that they used the experience of veterans of Pennsylvania professors to it and civil engineering students were taken there to observe its progress. The massiah organization is credited with the erection of one of the two elliptical domes of concrete in the State, a feat which won much interest among engineer. Mr. Massiah is the architecture of the Brompton School of Art, Broad and Pine streets, and civil engineering at Drexel Institute. He attributes success to the fact that he has done 20 years work in the last His home is at 1517 Christian street and he has a summer cottage BURNING WAS BURNING WAS (Continued from page one) been carried along for the occasion. Mouth Filled With Mud Before the match was touched to him, Sheppard's mouth and nose were partly filled with medicine to vent him, and gas fires with might cause his instant death. It was clearly the int.'s of the mob, the staff corresponded said, to make the double-nurderer-killunter as long as there was life in his Ears Cut Off the flaming torch was again withheld as a wild-eyed member of the mob, intent on further torture, leaped into the pile of wood and cut his ears off with a pocket knife. At about 7:15 the flaming torch was touched to the gasoline soaked mass of wood and wood and a cent up from the circle of spectators as the gasoline flame she'd high in the air. Some hundred or more women in the crowd screamed, and their mingled with the agonized shrieks of the burning Negro, who twisted and fought at his ropes, cursing his captors and white people. Their attempts were made to shoot Sheppard as he let loose his death-shrieks, but these were stopped by other members of the crowd, argued that the Negro should be made to suffer as long his life allowed. Cars Cans Tossed On While the silent crowd stood about the clearing, fresh cans of gasoline were tossed on the hatch to keep the fire burning brightly. Deputies Gel Gas Mob leaders deputized members to get gasoline and the process started for the attack. The attacker, a black murderer avenged his double killing by a tortuous death. Struggled 45 Minutes The correspondent estimated it was 45 minutes before the curtly built house, but his fight with witching and agonized fighting at the ropes and flames. The time might, he admitted, have been shorter than that, although seemed that he was witnessless. Sheppard, who boasted a powerful physique, fought his white captors to the time he was thrown, hogged, on the bier, and then tortured until the first breath of lifelift him. While he lay on the pile of wood his wrist secured. Sheppard reached out after mull pieces of wood threw at the building, and members of the crowd when the mob member climbed over him and cut off his ears, he cursed and spit on the white. Seeks Escapc Sheppard made a last final attempt at escape even as the flames whipped about, the Sheppard finally rolled in the fire and finally rolled off the pile of flaming stewwood. He tried to come to his feet, and rose as far the ropes were stretched out, how, grooming in agony as his flaming clothing singed his legs. Tossed Back On Fire Mohmen grabbed for their guns but Sheppard was quickly seized and tossed into the fire and it was then that more threw in and his entire arm drenched with the highly infiltrable oil.

THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, JANUARY 12, 1929 THE STORY YOU WILL NEVER FORGET! DESSALINES the TERRIBLE The DRAMATIC STORY of the Black Slave Who Rose to Be Emperor REPEAL JIM CROW house on March 15. In the Senate David J. Lewis offi ed an amendment to exclude. its provision from Allegany County and Senator John Gill Jr. offered a similar amendment to exclude its provisions from Baltimore City. These amendments were voted dowd by every Democratic Senator, except Senator John Gill of Baltimore voted for it and every Republican Senator together with Senator Gill voted against it. In the House In the House every Democrat voted for it and every Republican against. These facts are cited with no purpose to condemn the members of the House or to command the R:publican members. The record proves that this measure was a case of pure politics and was put through under a well lubricated steam roller. The politico-pedal that represent any demand of the white citizens as such, as is further proved by the fact that in counties where the delegation was part Democratic and part Republican, the party experience regardless as to whether there was a large Negro population or little. It is conceived that if the Republican caucus had decided to enact the vote a party experience the vote would have been just the reverse. A political boss had issued aukase that he must be done to save the Democratic party and the subject tolerated no personal opinion. Law Of No Purpose Has the Law accomplished its purpose? Clearly not. From a political standpoint the Democratic party has gained nothing. The law has been a mill stone around the necks of so many of the rich and powerful of the world, it has invented their proper examinations and service. It has held back some of the richness of the country, it created ill will between the races where there should have been cooperation and sympathy. It has retarded social welfare efforts, it creates in the masses of Negroes greater self-respect and pride of citizenship. It from the State untold numbers of progressive colored men and women who preferred an atmosphere of freedom instead of an institution under the gaze of separation. Commission Recommends Repeal After a careful study the Mary Kate Reagan Foundation recommended its repeal. To quote from the report of that Commission. 1904 the Legislature checked a law to require railways to provide safe and colored passengers upon all lines of traffic in the State. However, the Court of Appeals subsequently held that the law was not as to railway passengers, which constitute probably 90% of the passenger traffic of the State. The Court of Appeals only those passengers traveling from and to points within the State. The effect of the construction of the railway on the Court of Appeals has been to release those railways having the longer haul passengers from the necessity of providing the emergency emborescence and to impose the burden and extra cost of rolling stock and emborescence upon those railroads within the State. The Court of Appeals has no proof of trucks with very irregular traffic. Girls Think Davis Is Queer. Boys Regard Him As Smart Troops Murdered 1400 Workers In Fruit Company's Strike HAMPTON, Va. — Allison Davis, whose article, "Negro Leaders Desert Their Race," in January Plain Talk Magazine, has created consonant boys to a smart young man who knows more English than anybody on the peninsula. He is the son of John A. and Mrs. Gayle Davis, who live at 933 Street northwest, W. hington, D. G. His father is a messenger in the War Department. His family is in moderate circumstances. Allison parents him and a college. Neighbors say the elder Davis has a good reputation in the community as has Allison also. They say the younger Davis is not very social, that he ins some ways like to be himself. Allison Davis is bright. There is no question about that. He was the highest individual prize winner in the class of 1924 of Williams College. He was a validatoric for the class and winner of the Phi Beta Kappa key. On the girl question, some of his girl friends think he is finicky and a girl hater. They say he is talented the Alpha Phi Alpha festivities in Philadelphia last week with a Miss Liby Stubbs of Wilmington, Del, who is in many respects a type of college girl. He publishes a poem, "The Second Generation," in Crisis magazine, in which he gave a pat and a slap to the present-day physicians and ministers, but more than this terrific indictment to college girls and college athletes. This poem said in paraphrase: The Preacher There is a type minister, Mr. Davis says: nance to white and colored passengers. Citizens of the counties can well afford to profit by the experience of the city. "In these days of the rapid abandonment of the farm lands, with the resultant loss of their property, we must justify the removal of causes of friction and misunderstanding. The cities have found that natural laws it would seem that the open country should be even more understandable." Notwithstanding the race alarmists who have appeared from time to time, the history of the Negro community have been a menace to the peace and welfare of the state. Benefits received without revenge for wrongs suffered. If the Leisuris of 1804 was moved to other counties, the effect of such seemed to justify the Act. It is clear that our public schools, the effect of the colored people have removed any causes that could be advanced as excuses for retaining this law." The Negro Welfare Committee, a volunteer organization, has decided to roll up its sleeves and work for the removal of the Car laws that the present Legislature. It will also work for the equalizing of colored teachers' pay in the counties to the same level as that of white teachers, a proposition that will be discussed in these columns next week.

There are no children. Mrs. Stewart, sks per occasion, has the name, Maude L. Rawlings. Of the college girl Mr. Davis says: "You spent every week-end in all-night liquor parties with your man" You spent the money your mother Feared to borrow on her home Not on books, but on dresses To make you the bells of fraternity dance And you didn't learn a damned thing Except the unnecessary tricks of loving teachers, tennis players You will teach the Negro students farther South What you learned." College Athlete Of the college athlete Mr. Davis sings: "You spend your winters engagement in basketball And women You won't work You won't study You won't marry But you have four 'letters' And a fraternity pin. Education Of a hungover like you every year Will bring the race along rapidly." ed 1400 Workers pany's Strike NEW YORK—The savagery with which the Columbian government assigned U.S. imperialists represented the United Fruit Company, smothered in blood the recent strike of the banana plantation workers who struck against that company last month, is at last coming light in spite of the official report. The Columbian government's official report admitted that its troops had murdered 200 workers, but now stories of age-witnesses given by the authorities show that nearly 1,400 workers were killed and 2,000 wounded by the Columbian soldiery at the behest of the United Fruit Company. Hundreds were buried in graves and others were thrown into rivers and swamps. Most of the banana workers are Jamaican Negroes. Wounded, Shot or Drowned "El Liberal" declares that the government troops opened fire upon some towns, mowing them own with machine-gun fire. Wounded workers were shot, and in some cases those yet alive were buried while still breathing or thrown into rivers, harbors and specific instances of women and children, innocent bystanders, who were shot by the soldiery.

ROGERS PARIS, France. — The colored American colony livin' in the neighborhood of Rue Pigale, Montmartre, is much put out over a recent tragedy that left one of them, perhaps fatally. The principals in the shooting are Mike Mackendrick, 24, of Paducah Ky., and Sidney Dibache, 31 of New Orleans La. The injured person are J. Glover Compton pianist at the New York Philharmonic, a colored dancer from Australia; and Mme. Radureau, a 60, milkman. Banjo vs. Saxophone McKendrick is a bar- player at Plantation, and Bacht, a saxophonist at Florence's. The two find a ginger dance and sing, while a collection was being taken up for a sick musician in another cabaret at which the two were present. McKendrick is said to have been taken up for Bacht, who better contribute as before long a collection would also have to be taken up for Bacht and the rest of his band. You follow's. McKendrick is alleged to have said, "are all out of tempo, and will soon be out on the street." At this Bacht is said to have gone home for his revolver, forcing the band to hide and then went off in search of McKendrick. Morning Duel The two met later about 7 A.M. In a tobacco shop where the quartel was resumed, McKendrick went out to wait for him, and opened fire as he stepped out. McKendrick, drawing his revolver opened fire, when he saw Gibin holding her before him as a shield. Three shots struck him in the chest. Another shot caught the milkwoman in the thigh. The second shot struck Compton in the leg. just above the knee. Both men emptied their revolver, but the only hurt done to Compton was slight scratch on Bachet's forehead. Bad Reputation Bachet has a bad reputation. He is said to have been deported from England and Germany. Recently nearly lost his life in a shooting scrape from a bullet intended for someone else. Before hitting Bachet, the bullet passed through the wrist of a woman. Compton, who comes from Chiesa-cage was planning to return soon on a visit. He is in the American Hospital.

As a matter of fact, the occupation is secretly promoting the interests of the 'priestical Church whose members by their own means are approaching as near as possible the Catholics in order to engage in proselytism. Want One Church "We Catholics," continued Mr. Thoby, "are obliged by patriotism to oppose the methods employed by the Catholic clergy; and when reference is made to the Catholic church, we understand that it is a question of the high dignitaries of the Catholic Church in Haiti." There are four Catholic bishops and one archbishop in Haiti, and whom are French citizens. The African Nationalists are opposing a perpetuation of this condition. Treated As Criminals The three journalists in prison are treated as criminals. They are denied privileges, even their families, their friends or even their families unless they accept the company of the convicts, murderers and thieves, who are condition, as gent-a-ble. No Answers Mr. Thoby, in conclusion, adds that he addressed a letter of protest to General Evans, Chief of the Haitian Constabulary while still an American Marine officer, the request was made to the requester and agreed to fair treatment for these political prisoners arbitrarily arrested and imprisoned. He has received not even an acknowledgment of his letter to the General, and there nothing has alleviate the intolerable conditions to which they are being subjected in prison.

THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, JANUARY 12, 1929 GYPSY ROMANCE AND SIN FILM AT REGENT A gyromy fire of fire and passion, barbaric in its surging emotions, colorful as a Romany costume, lifting as a Romanian rhapsody, glamorous with romantic charm, dynamic in its dramatic sweep—that is "Revenge," starring Dolores Del Río, which comes to the Regent theatre, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. It is filled with thrills, dramatic moments, intrigue, love and romance. A well-written story, populated bears, some wild and others tame are common throughout the early part of the picture. USS Lily is the cast of well-known players appearing in her support in "Revenge." Leroy Mason is Jorga. Jose Crespo, the Spanish film star is the rival lover and Rita Cavey is the product of the night, directs the jealous Tina, hated enemy of Rascha. James Marcus, Sam Appel, Marta Golden, Jess Cavin and Sophia Orton, the winning team which includes hundreds of colorfully garbed gypsies. John Gilbert in "Masks of the Devil," the story of a man without a conscience. is the attraction for *Thursday, Friday and Saturday*. Alarmingly, the characterization is that of a man without soul or conscience. A man who loves life and love and who takes open-handedly what he desires. Through his love for women comes the realization of the evil, or "devil," in his own soul. The remainder of the story deals in startlingly dramatic fashion with his regeneration and repentance. Gorgeous settings, showing Europe at its gayest, embellish the production, for the story: takes place in gay, pleasure-loving Vienna. The atmosphere of the frantic quest for pleasure as pursued by the ristocracy of the Old World. A magnificent cast was assembled by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. "Love," "Flesh and the Devil," and "The Cossacks," in the new picture. By TICKLE TOE "It is easy to be pleasant. When life flows by like a song. But the man worth while Is the one who can smile When over things one dead wrong." And the customers crowd in before nine, But the thing that hurts, is when the customer falls. Fails to appear and at ten no customers are there. Yet we find promoters who, despite hard times Just sit up and say with a smile, "It will be better the next time." The above verses are dedicated to the dance promoters who have undergone many trials and tribulations during the past year. These men who earn a living by promoting dance are the public, whose themselves are few, still those few have many setbacks that the public does not know of or have very little feeling in regards to their welfare. There are six dance promoters at present. Of this number there is one woman, Mrs. Louise Saunders Reid, the male members of this select group being "ike" Dixon, J. Nelson, "Bob" Matthews, Purviance and "Bob" Matthews of Apex Club fame. The above deserve credit for the way in which they have promoted their dances with only one known case when an orchestra failed to appear as advertised. Mr. Reid, the female member of this order, is president of the Junior Club Councillor tabloid, the writer of no little note, "Tee" Dixon is known the country over as the leader of "Dixon's Jazz Devil's", J. Clarke is the owner of one of Baltimore's Cozy Night Clubs. Big Bill Gamby, popular society man, is the owner of a chain of pool rooms and the best resort in the manager of a well known night club and has the reputation of being the old master of the promoters, while Bob Matthews is the manager in social and business circles. He originated the popular idea of the balloon shower. He also has the distinction of being the youngest and addition to the board of promoters. The year started with a bang as far as dance halls are concerned. The year ended with Eve, three matinee dances New Year's Day and four dances at the ballet. The old superstitious saying that what happens on New Year's day is bound to happen during the following 366 days, which will be just too bad in dance halls. The Dance teachers and students' council have published their latest book on what will be the popular dances next year. The council of the dancing profession and professional dancers on the stage, has prophesized that, the "Waltz" will be extinct this year during the summer and that a fast two step will be substituted for this. This report refers to the singer and stage whether the older set will continue to waltz or not. Let us wait and see. **ODD FELLOWS HALL** Monday, January 21, 6:00 p.m. L.

Loses To Morehouse WASHINGTON—Howard won the opening game of the home season in basketball from A. and T. College of Greensboro, N. C., with in spite of the absence from the line-up of Captain Wood. Howard was superior in all departments of play. Graham was superior in the team home, while none of the visitors was able to show any outstanding form. The score at the end of the first half was 14-6 in Howard's favor. Graham half started with some promise of competition as Coach Burr sent in his second team, but even the second string men soon found themselves in the score against the Aggies. At no time was Howard forced to extend itself, either in defence or aggression. This fact made the game stale and interesting in many respects. Boosts C. I. A. A.

C.-Coach Jimmie Lyle sent his Shaw cagars thru strenuous work last week in the latter part of this week, during which time they will meet four association teams. The "Bears" remained idle over the week-end due to the cancellation of the Shaw-St. Augustine game, which was scheduled for the local court last Friday night. Black, the team, was scheduled for practice last week, and in all likelihood will hold down his position at guard again this season. With the return of Black, there only remains one Black team to report immediately upon the return of the team from the Virginia trip. Girls to Play The Shaw team's girls started practice last week, and are expected to make their initial appearance in a preliminary game, when the Shaw "Bears" play Va. State College here January 18. No official schedule has been issued as yet, but it is expected that the co-eeds will play at least ten games.

Al Bronson made his debut at center for the Commandeurs in the curtain raiser and played a wonderful game. The commandeurs five in the first few minutes played looked as though they would make the battle hard fought for the Commandeurs, who started the initial contest, with a 10-0 victory below par. Gradually the Commandeurs machine warmed up and turned a close game into a runaway. It was in the Dagmars game that Commandeurs displayed their real ability. Bumps Off Dagmars The Commander's team came into the lead on the field and treated the Dagmars to a basketball lesson. out generalised them in every department of the game, and did every thing except a dagmar. the dagmar. Bob Sheehan and Walter Holloway, stars of the Dagmars Club. brought rounds of applause for their hard playing and uncanny shooting. Sherrod made three sensational shots in the team's game.

PHILADELPHIA — Close on the heels of Jack Dempsey's declaration that he believes George Godfrey just now, comes a challenge from Jimmy Dougherty, Godfrey's manager, to have the Leipriville "Big Truck" meet the winner of the Sharvey-Stribling bout, to be staged in Florida, February 27. Challenge On File The challenge is said to be on file in the Miami (Fl.) office of Tex Rickett. Following his issuance of the challenge, he is understood to have communicated with the New York State Athletic Commission in regard to the Gotham solons' alleged refusal several weeks ago to accept the entry of Godfrey in the proposed heavyweight elimination When making his statement regarding the ability of Godfrey, Jack Kirk of the Sharvey-Suribling fight would be the next heavyweight champion of the world and also is understood to have expressed his desire to win this scrap. Two weeks ago it was hinted that the former world's champion would not be averse to putting on the gloves with Godfrey. Godfrey Victim of Prejudice NEW YORK—(ANP)—In one of the most sweeping indictments ever made against a prize fight, pro-editor of the "Evening Graphic" of this city, is asking that colored fans write their protests against the display of matchmakers against George Godfrey to the New York State Boxing Commission, sending a copy of the letter to him at the offices of the Graphic in Hudson street, New Mr. Jennings charger that the powers that be in New York have distinctly drawn the allure of the Godfrey to enter the so-called 'heavyweight elimination bouts'. Mr. Jennings s. he is of the opinion that Godfrey can lick any and all of the fellows in his heavyweight elimination cepite in his heavyweight elimination. He points out further that huge George has ruined most of the heavies who have had the temerity to meet him offing it as task as a champion. That final competition can do. Risko has not been the same since the memorable night in Zebbets' Field when Godfrey was robbed of the decision over the Cleveland baker. Godfrey should be forced to meet second-rate competitors is not the fault of Jimmy Dougherty, the huge fighter's manager nor is it because he is a champion, because he is plainly and openly discriminated against.

The teams battled on quarters the teams had battled on even terms. The Panthers were making a steady drive toward the visitors' goal, threatening every minute of the drive, terrifying the drives and end runs which netted considerable vardage. pair entered the ring and police were forced to turn back the crowds who clamored for admission. There was little fighting at the start, both of the boxers dancing about the ring, instead of fighting. The crowd fainted before a real blow was passed and that was when Godfrey landed in Walker's bread basket with a left. Walker kept Godfrey following him the rest of the round. Walker struck most of the blows in the second session, but when the crowd came to right to Walker's cardiac region that forced the latter to his knees. The Texans, for the most part, confined their activities to straight football, while the Georgians used a more deceptive attack.

Greeks Win DETROIT—The Baltimore Athens won an impressive victory at the Kronk Community Center Saturday night over the D. A. A. before a goodly sized crowd, the final score was 7-4. The fans were treated to one of the best games of the season, as both teams displayed wonderful floor work. a fair defense, with Detroit shooting shorts, gathering nine out of fourteen tries. The best of all was the determination to win on the part of both teams, the locals trying vainly to stem the tide of the eastern invasion while the visitors were just anxious to make their presence felt. Time Mixed Up The last twenty minutes of play had more action than two full games. Both sides displayed a fast, passing attack and to add to the excitement, the timers (so it is claimed) got mixed up in the time and the quarter after one of the minutes of play instead of the usual ten minutes. At half time the score was knotted at 14 all, mainly through the foul shooting of Williams of Etoile, exclituting Baskerville, who was shooting from every angle to loop in three baskets. Baskerville, flitting across the court, a streak of lightning, raged two baskets as the final half got under way, another to the visitors' count to 18 as the quarter ended. Gus Finney tossed in a foul for Detroit and then Williams came through with a beautiful overhand shot for two more points the elongated the Detroit fans with a basket from midcourt and loss from the foul line.

With two of their regulars, "Rhodes" Rhodes and John Lewis ill, and with "Buddy" Allor playing with a badly cut arm, the Baltimore Scholastics proved no match for the Morgan Bears who passed and shot their way to a $8.22 victory over the Scholars at the New Albert, Friday night. Despite the overwhelming marvel of the victory there were occasional flashes of brilliant play on the part of the Scholastic tossers most of their fireworks coming in the second period when the reserves resisted. The first half had a dunk and interesting, Captain "Lanky" Jones, Spencer, Clarke and Brown tossing the sphere through the netting with a regularity of to 10 as the first half came to a close. First Half One-Sided Until the Morgan player of the Season the Scholastics had scored only a neagre half-dozen points. "Herb" Keller at center was not on- ly unable to stop the mighty "Lan- kers" from arching the box, but also found himself heumed in so that scoring was out of the question. Mack Payne, former Morgan player, and Teen Athlete of the Scholastics, were the only scorers during this borsheme period. Tucker Proves Star When the Morgan reserves were sent in, it was Tucker, who arrived with the fans by his uncanny knack of finding the bucket from difficult angles. Babe Jones, the Buford, the former Sam Huston flash, also dripped a collection or two in the basket. The competition was a little more even for the Scholastics who scored the first half whilse Morgan was taking 27. Wyatt Has Eye Of Eagle "Chink" Wyatt hit the stump and secured a victory, long distance after the Morgan guards had made it clear that there would be little shooting done from close range, as the period, having counted twice in the first session, and time and again he had the stands holding their collective breaths while the ball wavered as the rim only to drop on the outside. "Teen" Brown began to fire also and broke into the scoring column placing Kelter at center, had better success in holding "Lank" Jones to a smaller score, the elongated captain making only one bucket in this session, was unable to locate the basket. Jones High Scorer "Pink" Clarke and "Rapp" Wheatman made only one bucket for dribbling near for several shot shots. The entire Morgan quint functioned with its usual precision, Captain Jones leading all the scorers with his "Chink" Wyatt with 13. The defensive work of the Morgan guards was of especially high order while Allor and Teeny Brown did much to improve the Morgan score as it was. Concord N. Y.

CARLISLES PROTEST MORGAN'S VICTORY Collegians 41-39 Win Declared To Be Questionable BY E. L. CONWAY WASHINGTON, D. C. — The Myers College basketball team, national Intercollegiate Champions, defeated the powerful Lichtman Carlisle Five here Thursday by a 41-39 score. The famed college quintet used the ir of nearly 100 shots when, facing decisive defeat, with the score 15-9 against them, they raised a heated argument over one of Referee Isaac Cupid's decisions and announced their intention of returning to Bowl after only one of play. Their decision came like a thunderbolt from the sky. They made good their threat when the referee refused to let Wheatley's goal after he had denied Baldock's kick, making the two-pointer. They left the court while the fans crashed the exits and the box office demanding their admission price. Game Held After an hour of pleading, coaxing and entreating, the Carlisle management and former Coach Drew persuaded the Morgan team to finish the game. The Morgan team returned to the court on condition that Wheatley's goal would count; that no foul would be called against him or be called to the court. For the benefit of their own official, the benefit of the paying public the Carlisle management was willing to agree to any demand Morgan might make and the fifty players, coaches and amid the hers and hisses of the shouting mob the Morgan five returned to the court. The half ended 21-18 for Carlisle. Davis and Henderson out The second half was fast and furious. Morgan trailed throughout the entire game and when Henderson and Davis were ejected by of the four personnel the Morrison came ahead for the first time. The fracas ended with Morgan winning, 41-39. their margin of victory being represented by the two points the locals were given to give them. It is to be hoped that for the benefit of Morgan's prestige and for the satisfaction of that large gathering, return game can be enacted at an early date. Play Jewish Five.

THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, JANUARY 12, 1929 THE PASSING REVIEW By BILL GIBSON TAKE A LOOK BACKWARD for a change, and view the athletic year of 1928 and it will be admitted that some progress has been made in the line of sports. Gazing down the line of pugilistic aspirants we see George Godfrey, Harry Wills, Jack Johnson, Tut Jackson and a few others totering down the steps of the hall of fame' Theirs is near tragedy. But coming up over the horizon we see Kid Chocolate, Black Bill, Baby Joe Gans, Young Jack Thompson, Tiger Thomas, and a few others—impressive as the boxers of the olden days when men were men and women were feminine—but cheering enough to give women hope for bright futures. Of course there still is the face the calamity of burning out these boys and they get a chance to get going. But the best part, out there, is that they are making a showing now and that they are receiving gold in the game. Maybe we will some.

The collapse of the Eastern Baseball "League," the series between the Homestead Grays and the Black Sox, won by Coach Bill Watson, the winning of the National League, and the St. Louis Stars, marked the called the Eastern League and it is hoped that 1929 will see a real league come into being. Howard's return to the Cubs was a high spot of 1928 and the general improvement by our leading athlete comes from college sports.

THERE IS NO SANTA CLAUS for George Godfrey, yelps Ed Sullivan from his big desist in New York, and Big George slapping his fleshy shin in Philadelphia, just grins after having given battle night. 10 A. T. Tunney. This cutting sight of the Lelperville fighter is commented on by Mr. Sullivan as follows: "This is one of those rare New Year's which finds the heavyweight champion unoccupied. Gene Tunney, retired sends his Christmas cards from Europe, and Jack Dempsey, who held it before himself by unsporsmanlike conduct in or out of Tunney, is more concerned over the prospect of a part interest in the fighter, returning the vacated title."

The Accidental heavyweight invading impulse on the part of the committee heavyweight champion can range from Lithuania to Bulgaria, but the Muldoon-Tunney committee, in common with the heavyweights under its jurisdiction, draws the color line on George Godfrey. "The most serious complaint against the large George Godfrey is that he either beats you or wins you. Even when he jokes, Godfrey succeeds in the fightter who beats him. The best you can get Godfrey is a moral victory." over all the bases. "Johnny Risko of Cleveland was brute enough to fight the giant black at Ebbets Field.

Godfrey chugged vicious uppercuts into Risko's body for ten rounds, and when the fight was finished, so was Risko—as a "Old Harry Wills never did the damage which Godfrey can inflict with a right hand. As in the case of Wills, you can question Godfrey's measure of belligerency, but there is no question Godfrey's measure. He is a rulous person and perhaps that is why he has been barred." G STOP AND SHED A TEAR for our friend Willey A. Johnson, Jr. seer of the Chesapeake littoral, who has lifted up his arm in ridicule of what he admires, the biggest arcs of all time—the pick-and-roll football team. the conductor of this column is slapped on the wrists for his part in this alleged foolishness. My Old Dominion contemporary seems to forget that as early as December eighth this ruffian made a release to waiting for the eleventh. At that time I admitted to seeing the files adj. "I think the whole darn idea is a lot of rubbish. You see a player today and he looks like a gold mine, and next week you see him and he's a dud. Suppose X see him this week and someone else sees him next week." The result is that he's picked by me and dropped by the "But I guess the season wouldn't be complete without the selection of an ALL-AMERICAN team," he said from Lincoln (Mo.) and Western University, Fay Young, I believe, who sees more of the western and southwestern teams in action than any other man, usually makes some choices from "The team that I have picked elsewhere in these pages is NOT the AFRO-AMERICAN team, but my own PERSONAL selection of a mythical eleven—a team that I would like to see line up. My second team might as well have been picked as first team, so minute in the difference in their strength." Brer Johnson straight as far as our declaration of intentions in the matter is concerned. Last week we published the AFRO-AMERICAN's choices for an all-star steam and in this we were aided by a number of outstanding coaches and officials. Since the days of Walter Camp this is the method that has proved much safer for the leading newspapers and news organizations of the But what we are coming to is this, pardon the titter. As chairman of the C. I. A. A. All-Star committee, Mr. Johnson this year not only had a big hand in selecting a C. I. A. A. "All-American," but also did a task in selecting the most valuable player in that conference; a difficult task, given that he right, Mr. Johnson has performed this office on previous occasions.

Blue and White machine, hitting on all five cylinders, rolled over and crushed the Bordentown "Wildcats" in a thrilling battle on Friday night, 33-22, before an enthusiastic crowd in the "Y" gym. This was the first time that the Wildcats have tasted defeat this season, and incidentally this was the ninth straight victory for Atlanta the Giants in Bordentown. Six Footers In Bordentown Victory No. 9 was by far the hardest battle that the shore boys have encountered this season. It was the game with big, fast and well-trained players, and they came out with colors flying. Les Granger had three men on his team over the six foot mask with big, fast and well-trained boys to shoot or pass over their heads. They selected the underground route and worked it to perfection. Wildcats scored first when "Stretch" Russ, big, fast and a dead shot, shook off three blockers to sink one from near the foul line. The goal came from a defensive and effective guarding by both teams and was welcomed by loud cheering from the update contingent. The "Y" then got going. Wildcats scored from under the basket. By clever faking and pivoting Captain Brown drew the "Gats" defense in three more innings until the basket for sensational shots at full speed.

Brown scored five field goals and Wills two, helped by one from Durant, the fighting center. Spears was into the basket of Hilton and the repretty goals from mid-floor. Critain Spruel scored one after many warded the coach's judgment with two from mid-floor as did Hilton and Rush. Russ Checked Russ, the Wildcat threat, was completely boxed in by Dirant at center. Their play was built around Russ and with him out of center, Russ was boxed in by pets. The team play of the "v" was the outstance feature that would be merely to name Captain John Aldrich. Durant, Wills a+d "Jumping J. In the preliminary the "Y" Reserves had an easy time with the Bordertown Cubs, losing them. 32-15. LINE-UPS Y. M. G. A. BORDERTOWN Brown P.

(Tex) Rickard, white, nationally known sports promoter, died here Sunday morning from complications that developed after an operation for appendicitis New Year's night. Boasting little or no experience in sport promotion, probably without ever having lifted his own hands to a position of offense or defense. Rickard revolutionized the sport. Forced into boxing by "home town" pride in 1968, he put on a lightweight championship match between Battling Nelson and Joe Gans at Goldfield, Nev, and ran a stakes of $30,000 says the newspaper. He dumped days in boxing into a personal fortune of several million dollars. Arused By Cartoon In 1910, when several promoters strove to bring about a heavyweight title battle between Jack Johnson, the champion, and Jim Jeffries, retired champion, Rickard became aroused by a cartoon in a San Francisco paper that pictured the two fighters now? He bid $101,000 for the match, another record-breaking purse, and staged the battle in Reno, California refused to permit the bout. Rickard came East to take over the old Madison Square Garden in New York, and white elephant. Within a few years he lifted fight promotion to record levels, built the new Madison Square Garden, and made a big business of boxing. His Greatest Success His greatest successes were Gene Tunney's heavyweight title battles with Jack Dempsey and Oliver Goldsmith, both running over $2,000,000. He promoted the battle in which Jack Dempsey won the title from Jess Willard at Toledo 1919 and from that time on to every heavyweight title match except Why Be Sick! When You Can Be Well?

You dear old Anne, I am so glad to course—well, in spite of the bustle and bustle of several weeks in preparing for the Yuletide, and then the many social engagements that had to be filled during the holidays, you know, that even a trip to the park, find, glimpse, that the society elite or the deutagate belle of the hour, have carefully outlined on their boudoir calendar, engagements all through this month and year, and I have spent with such a gale Christmas, that folks would hold up a bit, but it just came to me yesterday what it was all about—why, honey. Lent is coming in soon, and I have no wonder hosts and hostesses are planning and filling in all social obligations up to the minute. It May Be urgent When your Children Cry for It Castoria is a comfort when Baby is fretful. No sooner taken than the little one is at ease. If restless, a few drops soon bring contentment. No harm done. No harm done. No remedy, for babies. Perfectly easy to give the youngest infant; you have the doctors' word for that. It is a vegetable product and you could use it every day. But it's in an emergency that Castoria means most. Some night you can be burdened—or colic pains—or other suffering. Never be without it; some mothers keep an extra bottle, un-opened, to make sure there will always be Castoria; the house. It is effective for older children, too; read the book that comes with it. Fleachers CASTORIA Miss Harriet Harris, of Portsmouth. Honored Catherine Williams, up to the Miles Connors, 2315 Madison avenue, put on some card party on last Saturday the afternoon from 2:30 to 5 p.m. at her guest's house at Portsmouth, Va. was here for the holidays. The way in which Catherine arranged the tables and her artistic taste in her decorations added much to the occasion. The hostess, with the indies she had asked to meet Miss Harris, Floria Carter won the first prize at bridge and the hostess presented her with the prettiest taffeta pillow, Lillian. Pat received the second prize, which was the most beautiful. Harriet was given the honored prize, a beautiful hand-painted scarf. Others there were Edith Ashe, Mattie Conner, Theresa M.

First we'll start of with Carroll who old ender was keen shiffr and has ever attended on Myrtle avenue.

Maryland Lady Has Right Idea For over fifty years, physicians have recommended it and mothers all over the world to give old medicine as the standard remedy for those ill of childhood, such as biliousness sallow, "broken one" sain constipation, nervousness, indigestion, diarrhea, etc. Children love the rich fruit taste of California Fig Syrup and their whole system benefits from ginger, cinnamon, apples, and child's system of all wastes; regulates the bowels and stomach, and gives these organs tone and strength so they continue to act normally. A Maryland mother, Mrs. Philip Scheck, 203 So. Clinton St., Baltimore, says: "My little daughter, Yelena, was born with a strong stomach and bowels seated to be weak. Then we started her on California Fig Syrup. So she began picking up and she hasn't had any trouble with inhalations. A strong, healthy girl now, with plenty of energy." Always ask for California Fig Syrup. So she self-taught from inhalations. All drug stores have it. Four million bottles used a year shows its popularity. LADIES Use the RUN MENDER.

THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, JANUARY 12, 1929 GALE SECRETARY DENIES ELOPEMENT Aide To Philadelphia Realtor Spending Holidays In Connec ticut Home NO WORD FROM GALE Two Secretaries Unable To Tell Of Former Employer's Plans "I want to take this opportunity of emphatically denying my being with Beresford Gale in South America or any other place wher he might be."

"I have been spending the holidays with my family, and I am thrilled this time that you might publish the same and vindicate me in the eyes of the public from having vanished with the Philadelphia realtor. "I feel sure that our sense of justice and fair play will cause us to deny as empathetic as possible the privilege left the country or eloped with Mr. Gale."
