Governor Of Mississippi Called Lynchers' Aid

presents Show. Need of Federal Anti-Lynch Bill.
JACKSON, MISS.—Lynching of Charles Shepherd was advertised seven hours in advance so that it was possible to collect a crowd of 6,000 in 3,000 autos last week.
Details of the horror were shamelessly printed in various Mississippi newspapers and gloated over.
The Crime
Sheppard, a prisoner, killed Sergeant Duval, white guard, slashing and hammering him to death, then snapped and assaulted his daughter.
A beating which Duval had given him for overstaying a leave of absence some time ago caused Sheppard to kill Duval, he told captors when he was shown the crowds which gathered for the cremation.
The lynching was a half wit. "You could tell he was a half wit by looking at him," said Deputy Sheriff Co. er.
400 state troops which forged in the three-way battle for Sheppard made effort to use their gas and phosphorus bombs to disperse the mob.
I was thirty miles away when I was told at 4 o'clock in the mob had the Nose," said General J. A. Maitland, "and I made effort to find it." He immediately ordered the soldiers home.
Everybody Invited
After touring mainroads of the section, cross roads ar' back roads to allow every possible person to look at Sheppard, and offer it to several Negro families, in which Sheppard's impending fate was described with warnings to the Slacks, he was carried to the gates of Camp N. A. A. C. P. Calls State Plages Show Need of F. NEW YORK—The State of Mississippi, whose two lynchings in the past week, raise the number of 9 to 11, in the United States, in the 9 to 11, in the George spot of lynching in America, in a telegram sent to Governor Theodore Bloh, by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, signed James Wadon Johnson. Copies were sent to President Coolidge and to Congress.
The telegram read: Mississippi stands pilored before the civilized world as the plague spot of lynching in America, saving the raised the total from 9 to 11, United States buried 96 murders in the last week of the year. One of these atrocities was the burning of a man at the stake. Five of the 11 murders are charged against Mississippi.
It is reported by the press that you called out troops to help the Nebraska unit to use those troops for the maintenance of due process of law when the mob's victim had been captured. It is further evidence that you viewed the charred body of the burned man and then made a public object.

Next week's "Forum" on the Editorial Page will be taken up almost entirely with letters of readers of THE AFRO AMERICAN on the subject of "AMALGAMATION" and Intermarriage of the Races.
ROME, Miss. — All that remain of the powerful body of Charley Sheppard, double-murderer and assaulter, were a few charred and blackened bones along the roadside between here and state prison camp
The blackened skull of the man who paid by an hour of burning alive before he loses consciousness, smoked in his breath, next in a tossed there by a white phemic hunter who captured it after cremation.
A leg which had been carried on by another white witness to the burning, was likewise along the burner, and the body were carried off, but because of the stench were thrown from automobiles at various distances from the burning. The white man was in a pocket lintr just before the torch was applied to his gasoline soaked body later exhibited them at a filling station in Drew.

"This is in effect encouragement to Mississippi lynching. The Governor of any American State can make such a pronouncement unwhipped of public opinion, goes far to the for low pay, the for low pay, by that enclosure of education, law enforcement, wealth, industry and human progress. It is a pronouncement emanating from an anarchic indifference to human and to common law, an essential to even a civilization.
"You, Governor Theodore Bilbo, of Mississippi, and the lynchers you encourage, are the best possible argument for a federal aid by which the federal government would crush out the aforementioned shame America before the civilized world.

KANSAS CITY, MO.
Kidnappers in two states
plied a brisk trade last
week.
In Kansas City, Mo., Felix H.
Payne, rich clubman and sportsman,
was taken for a ride and robbed of
$800 in money and a diamond value
in money. $800 was paid.
Kidnappers seized him as he was
about to put his Packard car into
a garage. He was led to a closed
car and tape placed over his eyes.
He rode a long time and was led
into building and relieved of his
money and jewelry.
The kidnappers told him to produce
$20,000 within a certain length of
time or ride. He would be taken for
a long ride. Later this demand was
reduced to $10,000.
Thinking they had gone far enough, the kidnappers finally rode him out into the country and hid himself near a railroad track in the heart of the industrial district and made his way to a light which proved to be a crossing flagman's sham. Payne's wealth is estimated at $45,000, but his income of $25,000 a year. He is a real estate dealer and is interested in several enterprises and clubs.

PORT-AU.PRINCE, HAITI, (Special)—The American Marine occupation in Haiti is resuming its campaign of intimidation of newspaper editors at Port-au Prince according to advices received by the AFRO a few days ago from Monsieur Percival Thoby, former charge d'Affaires of Haitian Legation at Washington and at present official representative of L'Union Patriotique of Haiti.
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)

100 Women In Crowd—National Guards Pass By; Burning Held Up Until Family Arrives
ROME, Miss. -- Burning alive of Charley Sheppard near Rome was accomplished in a methodical manner by Delta residents under mob leaders: who apparently had a definite plan of torture and carried it out without a birth.
Mobmen scoured the little town and surrounding roads for filling stations from which they carried gasoline; five gallon containers. Buckets, old grease pails and everything available for carryin; oil was pressed into use and gasoline commanded from the stations.
Apparently no hurry to dispassion of Sheppard, the mob leaders started for No. 11 cmp at head of a parade miles long. It was estimated that more than 2,000 and probably 3,000 automobile were in the silent parade that stalked through the wilderness roads.

Before the actual burning took place, Sheppard was hoisted, tied securely, to the top of the pile of stove wood the top of the pile of stove wood was displayed for several minutes before the gasoline was poured on his legs.
Actual burning of Sheppard was held up for several minutes awaiting the slain Sergeant Duval. When everything was in readiness, word was received that a son was en route from Parchman and the torturing process would end until he and his relatives arrived. They were taken in charge by mob leaders and placed near the Negr's head when the torch was appalled so the mob could make an escape, they could be first to shoot him.
National Guard: ss By
At least half a dozen cars of National Guardmen passed by the car in which Sheppard was held prisoner about 4. or 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon. The News occurred in the car in which Sheppard was held. There was but five or six cars in the group at that time. The guardmen passed us just outside of Drew and having apparently passed, we were washing around the country, went right past without stopping to ask questions.
Filling Stations Dry
All filling stations in the Drew-Rome-Parchman vicinities we were drained of gas, oil and water, and mobilized which carried witnesses to the cremation. An all-day rain turned silderac highways into ruts of mud, which caused mans to flee. The cremation was often. The proceeded number of cars in this territory cleaned out all filling stations and several cars were reported stalled, along several silderac temporarily.
100 Women
About-100 women were in the parish of Deltans, which wound up at Rome for the burning alive of Sheppard. Most of the women stayed with the parish, most of them were in the background during the actual burning.

WASHINGTON, D. C. (Special)—Two wives sat at opposite ends of the mourner's bench during the funeral services of the late Matthew Taylor, who was buried from John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, 14th and Corcoran streets, here Sunday.

Pertinent questioning by Dr.
Ernest Lyon, Liberian Consul-
General, of Dr, Robinson New-
‘comb, white, principal speaker,
markedsthe meeting of the inter

Dr. Newcomb brought out the fact
that the “American Negroes took no

despised the neweomers.” ‘This ethi-
cal difference caused inevitable trio.

“Ef Liberia's only, mission was to

Two-Thirds Of Old Testament Deals With Jews And Negroes
Abram's Wife, Canaanites, And Solomon Were Negroes
By E. 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.
DIXIE BISHOPS DENOUNCE MOBS
MEMPHIS. Tenn.—We deploy and condemn the still too frequent examples of mob violence which discredit and dishonor our civilization.
reads a resolution passed by the College of the Methodist Episcopal Church. South in session heret last week.
Said one speaker: "There are many who weep over the colored man in Africa, but can't keep him from being burned in America."
MIZRAITES All Colored.
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. Solomon Dark Brown Kingus Dark brown was far from beige white in color. was a handsome dark brown man in complexion. It was perfectly man in complexion. It was perfectly man in complexion. Bathsheba, the former wife of Uriah the Hittite was a beautiful black woman. The Hittites were Canaanans, descend-

"There are many who weep over the colored man in Africa, but can't him because being colored encourages him to the Mississippi lynching gives to the nations their picture of Christianity in America.
W. E. Besuchamp, of Atlanta, said that the church must eliminate this terrific race prejudice before Christianity could fulfill mission.

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.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Plans are under way for a pageant, depicting the achievement and progress of the race from the time of Columbus to the present date, which it is hoped will be made a part of the inaugural program of the Inauguration commissions.
The recent appointment of Frank Wells, president of the American Institute to that Committee augurs well for the success of that plan, Mr. Gabrielle Pelham, chair of the committee, which is composed of representatives from all groups, who are being asked to heft make the decision on the committee, the standing asked to help ma. this one of the which has ever been produced here.

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.

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.

SAYS WORLDLY FOOD FAILS TO SATISFY
Rev. W. H. 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".

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.

$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.

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.

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?

Motes and Beams
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 attitude back of these discriminations" was adopted last week at the closing session of the two-day Seminar on the Church and Race Relations at the Russell Sage Foundation.
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."

Primitive Indian and African savages never celebrated a victory with more cruel tortures than those inflicted upon a half-wit criminal by a mob in Mississippi last week.

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.

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.
And I see a transformation,
As from angels' visitation,
And I realize the very

My country's flag
It is a pretty flag;
I know it. I love it.
Oh, how I wish
It meant the love to me.
It does to Pats. to John Red Hat.
To Tony, Jean, Heine.

Because a son of Ham I am.
To fight for it, and protect it.
While it nothing does for Sam.

Means blood was shed;
Yours it was, Mine it was.
It mined free
In answer to country's call.
In time of need, how we did bleed!

Means love so true;
Heaven's sky, it makes nigh.
Its shining sky.

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.

WHAT DOES FATHER SAY?
Father is: a patient man.
He never answers back:
When mother speaks her mind to
He never files the track—
But I have seen pa move his lips
And see! I'd like to know
what faith he himself
When father mumbles so.
But have seen it, and its ups
and what it says to know
what father rays to father
For only father's ear.
Some day I hope pa's self-control
doesn't matter. The things he mumbles to himself
No matter how they hurt—
For I have seen them lips

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."

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.

the world war was one of the reasons given for not naming Mr. Cottrel. The office has since been reduced by transferring some of business to the other business and also by a reduction in the amount of business handled in that
Mr. Machins besides has had wide experience in finance. He is the financial secretary of the American Marian Mission and church and president of the Prostituted Bank.
Cold To Retain Post
Judge James A. Cobb will retain his place on the bench of the municipal court of the District of Columbia and is not likely to experience any difficulty in being confirmed a second time by the Senate.
Mitchell versus Froe
Whether Ar'ur G. Froe, the Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, will be served with a second time, Mr. Froe is from West Virginia. He has served nearly eight years in this office, Charles E. Mitchell of Institute, W. Va. has a frequent request for a federal appointment, and the retention of Mr. Froe may depend upon whether the West Virginia congressional delegation will support him or urge an appointment of Mr. Mit-

Mr. Church is non-initial as to his plans, but he exercises veto power unless peace is inside between him and Dr. Scott. The man who may be able to straighten out these differences is Judge Cobb. He and Mr. Hawkins have been friend and number member of the group they have played politics in different groups.
Motion Angle
These will likely be another angle to the fight for rewards. The group headed by Robert R. Moton, president of Tuskegee Institute will make a recognition. The Moton group fought to die the colored end of the campaign. The work was assigned to them when their mistress, struck by a bullet, licked their pants by L. Hokse, secretary of Tuskegee Institute, however, was made secretary of the executive mittee of the colored voters' mission compromises vision were given the Moton group.

The chief aspirant of the Motor group is likely to be Homer G. Phillips, of St. Louis, Mo. He wants a place in the Department of Justice.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Any citizen of Maryland or elsewhere who desires to do his or her bit in this area and address by writing to The Negro Welfare Committee, P. Q. Box 522, Annapolis, Md.
Wife Says Husband Deserted
Mrs. Maude L. Stewart charges her husband, James Stewart, with abandonment and an assultive divorce filed in the Circuit Court No. 2 this week, through her attorney, Roy G. Bond. He also claims that her husband dissolved her in Cordale, Ga. June 28. 1915 and April 25, 1924 declaring his intention to take the last heard from he was a resident of Washington. D. G. 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.

Race Colony In I
By Shoo
By J: A. 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. The bullet passed through the fleshy part of his leg. Within the past few years several

cause of their (the priests') apprehension that the latter may favor the Protestants. 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.

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.

With the annexation of the house mention: the link up through the east to the house in the west, the outlook for the *year 1923* is better by far than has been the case for some time back.

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.

baltimore. theatre patrons are making whopee at the Royal Theatre this week, where Edgar Martin and the That's It game later pulling into town a day late. The show is one of the smallest to play here in several weeks but it is also one of the most entertaining. The most chronic grouch will be playing the game, Martin and Billboard Jackson, Jr. two blackface comedians with the outfit. This pair of funsters, who work together as well as any has, will be the only one who doubt be remembered for their last appearance here when they panicked the audience in their takeoff of two gentlemen of color running a shoe
Comedians Are Clever
On this trip they are seen as the proprietors of a pawn shop and later appear as bellhop and porter at a hotel. Jackson and Martin know the finer points of humor and age. As a business man, Jackson has no peer when it comes to crossing his legs and looking important.
Ida Brown Back Again
Ida Brown, a favorite with the locals, kept the house in good humor with her singing and playing several numbers. Her best offerings were "At the Closing of fan Endless Day," and "I Want a 'real Good Man.' Babe Brown, as the leading lady, is impressive in her part doing a charitable Cross, straight is liked best." "Salle of My Dreams."
Eugenia Bownman steps out of the chorus to sing a number or two. Billie Hayes had the audience leaned up with her eccentric Christleton and blackbottom dance.

NEW xORK. (Special). — A claim that the Majestic Theatrical Circus had acted, after promotion is said to have been the cause for the "That's It" company to refuse to leave for Baltimore where they were called to the Royal Theatre, Monday afternoon.
Dissatisfied actors, discouraged by the irregularity of their payments, refused to budge until some settlement was reached, the "Uke Girl", and star of the show, refusing to come to Baltimore after an adjustment had been made by other performers. It is the circle owe her several hundred dollars.
Miller Takes Show
Irvin C. Miller, veteran producer, got in touch with members of the company and made arrangements to meet him with his abilities. With Mr. Miller's assurance and their belief in his veracity members of the company left here Tuesday, when they opened with the matinee show at the Royal Theatre. There was no stage show at the Baltimore house. Monday.

"Wings," the master epic of the air with Clara Bow, Charles (Buddy Rogers, Richard Arlen and Gary Rogers) will play the Royal theatre all next week.

Flying area of the different nations supervised the flying sequence. Of the most remarkable scene in this feature is the bombing of French village by a huge Gergonne Gotha bombing plane. This remarkable scene, showing the course of the bombing, made possible because the motion plumes is infinitely faster than the eps. Five aree bombs, charged with TNT were dispatched from the Gotha village, directed toward an exact dumbbell French village. Director Willam Wellman and cinema engineers designed a camera rack which allowed full vision of the death dealing plumes. The bomber until they fell like murder ball upon their objective.

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. Standing
Howard collected 18 field goals and
24助攻. He also scored tailily by
theists. This is the first C. I.
A. A. team that Howard has met
since the recent reconciliation,
the Bisons taking both games with a
wide margin. Seven other associa-
tions team are the indoor with
game each. The game with
Morgan College next Friday night
will be a real test of Howard's
strength.
Cage Star's Return B'lsters Shaw Hopes
Raleigh, N. 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.

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.

GODFREY BEST HEAVY
SAYS JACK DEMPSEY
"Gawge's" Manager Issues
Challenge To Sharkey-
Stribling Winner
SAY JACK WILLING
CHICAGO. -- Jack Dempsey is due in this city within a few weeks to answer whether or not he will fight George Godfrey. it was learned here early this week.
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.

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.

TOLEDO, Ohio—The Douglass

The fast offense and strong defense held the Athenians in check during the entire game. The Toledo team scored 10 goals, 10 assists, and is one of the strongest teams in the middle west. The Pets are coacific! by E. B. Highwarden, L. Thomas, Glennice L. Thomas, Toledo University. The Pets broke the ice by scoring the first basket, and held the lead during the entire game.

After that, the Toledo team was not threatened. At the beginning of the third period, Stout made twelve points, assuring themselves of victory.
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. Tate ran the Detroit count to 21 with two foul shots with one minute to go Jackson gave the visitors their final point with a free throw as the whistle blew.

From the beginning the game appeared on the face of it to have the promise of being a tight affair. For at least three-fourths of the first half the team was passing, the superior passing, and the excellent guarding of Captain Cy Taylor and Country McGowan gained the Blue and White a comfortable lead, which was maintained throughout the game.

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.

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. Thursday, January 10, the Lichtman Five will meet the strong Jew.

MINER NORMAL QUINT
WASHINGTON. — In a basketball game crowded with thrills throut, the Rinky Dink tossers of Smith's Diversion Senior nose out school baskets by the score of 18-17.

The teachers trailed the Rinky Dinks at half time, 8-7 after Leake, the Rinky Dinks' stellar goal at half time, and the second half was fast and furious and the outcome of the game was doubtful until the final whistle.

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. Basketball saw Morgan College and Virginia Seminary, the national collegiate title, with Morgan, in our hands, bump a little the better of the claim. Renaissance and the Quaker, City. Fiks lied, up in their claim to the national pro title.
Track and field uncovered such stars as Herbert Moxley of High School, Columbus, O—a lad, who by the way is burned out from too frequent and too frequent of the Others in the jamblight inclusion, because of the University of Iowa; Nathan Jamblight, Whittier, California; Wesley Foster of Washington State; Gator, and a few others.

And by the way the sideside but says that he's coming back. And by the way Phil Edwards was elected captain of the New York University track team. Don't forget also that the Lincoln University Lions under the tutelage of Joe Rainey, won three contests in track meets. And of course Eddie Garrett, Gunnie Gunnie derby fans, Tennis saw Edgar Brown come back. The ball we have no national champion, but good teams like Bluefield, Wiley, Langston, and Tuskegee putting in a claim for the title. New football stars came to the form this year as an can team will show. Competition is usually and from the good material of the coaches should have no blues beginning of the 1993 season.
to succeed.
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. The first Coach Morrison at Lincoln, the resignation of Coach Watson and the appointment of Dr. Charles West as his successor, signification of Coach Drew at Morgan and the appointment of Bill Taylor to succeed him, in the coaching world. There were not less significance.
We could no down the line, stopping at each branch of sport and doing a little mental bookkeeping, but time and space will not permit. This column feels pretty certain, however, that more entries on the press will have been made on the grounds that unusual occurrences in the twelve month past. Sport of course lost a friend in Walk Miller, manager of the late Tiger Fowers. All in all it was not a bad year. Still we hope 1929 will be better.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. — Gaining impetus as it rumbles along the Atlantic City Y. at C. A. 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. Russ scored another and this was followed by one from the backcourt "K" guard, then took a long pass directed to Russ, dribbled down the sidelines "A" arched a beauty over blistered by the dribble and by Hilton,亿隆. Bordentown center, brought the score to 12-8 at recess, with the five goals by Aldrich looming large. Defensive in the second half Captain Brown and Wills started an offensive that swept Granger's gang of goals into their hope of winning. 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, 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.

TEX RICKARD, CZAR OF RING, SUCCUMBS
World Famous Boxing Promoter Dies In Florida Hospital
GANS FOUGHT FOR HIM
Old Master's Victory Over Nelson Gave Tex $30,000
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — George L. (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

DEMURRER SUSTAINED IN IKE DIXON CASE

PLEA MAY BE AMENDED
Court Rules Words Not Libelious On Themselves
A demurrer in the case of Isaac (ike) Dixon, who is being sued for libel by Marion Watkins as a result of a paragraph published in a local paper, was sustained by Judge Samuel K. Dennis last week.
Watkins, who was represented by George W. F. McMechen, sued Dixon for a facetious article appearing in a paper said to be owned by the latter, in which "wife," "beer bottles" and "women" appeared in the same sentence. In the petition, Dixon, through his attorney, J. Stewart Davis, demurred on the ground that the words in the article were not libelous in themselves since they did not accuse the Watkins of wrongdoing. Maintaining of the demurred means that Mr. Watkins, through his attorney, will be given permission to amend his declaration and again push his case in court.

GEORGE BIAS SIGNS
$200 ROYAL G'NTRACT
ed At Theatre Next Week
George Bias, who recently made another new record for the Columbia company, has signed a contract to appear at the Royal theatre for the sum of $200 a week.
Mr. Bias has just returned from New York, where he sang, "Somewhere Someone's Love Is Calling," and "Since You Went Awant" for the Columbia record. He did not just how long the concert will be for, but it is understood it will be over a period of several weeks.
Local Boy
Bias is a Baltimore boy, and was born in this city. Before singing for 192 record people, he was an entertainer at Landon's Cafe, and worked for many months at the Regent theatre. He is well known in Baltimore and his last record was a big seller.
He places a large enough dollars and cents value on "Your Promise to Pay" to let you have all the Furniture you need without a single Reference.
He knows there are thousands of perfectly honest people who can not produce references—and hesitate to ask for credit.
Don't wait any longer — when your "Promise to Pay" is sufficient.

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.

COMMENTS

A large number of guests were present and the ladies were attired in evening gowns of
A short but pleasing program including a solo, "I Hear A Voice," by rehearsed a few or the accomplishments in married life of Mr. and Mrs. Jackson; Mr. and Mrs., as Baily sang a duet, and Ms. Jackson, the marriage twenty-five years ago, spoke about the wonderful time spent on that occasion. The Rev. E. Johnson program. The supper dinner was served.

Of course the Lincoln Club of Ballimore held its annual dance at the New Eisek's Hall. That affair really did kick up away, but Bally led the orchestra at the ballroom, which present and reigned throughout the evening.
The Half Century Club brought fourth its holiday formal introducing into it for the fourth and will number 140 members who will tell you more about it. Old Prof. Fudge didn't think so much of the affair either, that this that debacle bizzness. Hope they'll bring us some real honest to goodness in the city, and Friday evening it seemed that everybody in the city tried to give a hop. First we'll start of with Carroll who old ender was keen shiffr and has ever attended on Myrtle avenue. Anyone who has ever attended one of Mamie's parties will verify the fact that everything goes forte. About fifty guests were on danced and danced to the music by Robert Lucas, who can GO! At the twelfth hour, *P. M. she* served a buffet supper which was just too delicious. Queen Bea Vista Grey of the
King Hamlet Raddick, of the Royal Twelve Club was the royal host at a hop which was given at his visit to the Queen? She was there with all of her counts and countesses. Earls, Jesters, etc. King Hamlet saw to it that all his guests enjoyed themselves immensely, and blew the horn at the 13th and a half Earl Parker. so it is sed, was also host at a party which he gave at his home in the city. The guests were in his place, was packed to the brim with guests and he is certain that everyone had a very pleasant evening. He saw down on Robert Digget's struggle, which came off Saturday evening, but we were informed that his fair was the centre of the city, because in because the parlor got smaller every time a couple would come in. All of the above mentioned affairs were given to the case, a huge crowd is always expected. Sunday, December 31st was set aside by many as a resting and visiting day. Mostly a resting and visiting day. Mostly a resting and visiting day.
New Year's Eve, Delmas Milbourne gave another one of his too tight parties at his home in the 2500 block of Madison avenue we always have a tight time. We don't know how he did it, but he surely did have nearly all the city's younger generation in mind, and we vague idea about how much the guests enjoyed themselves, we're going to say that every time we turn around someone is jibing about how keen a time they had getting away in 1928 and didn't come to a close until 1929. So much for that. Other affairs might have been in circulation on the same eve, but sorry to say the dope arrived here. Maybe they are on the way. Most of the gang attended Mary Carter's New Year Danette which was given by the police. Of course, Mary is a member of the Fleur De Lis Club and all that sort of piffle and twattle, but they say her affair was quite tame, because a host of chaps were present. Bright. Wonder why that was? However, a rather pleasant time was enjoyed by all. Say, by the way Mary, have you eaten all of that candy that was given to you for the party, in Vinot Liotter? So much for the parties.
Imaa Williams popped into the city Sunday morning last, to spend the New Year holidays with us and how sweet she did look. She returned to Hampston Wednesday to see her son, and to see her too, and don't forget it. Annie Brown seems to have had a keen time while she was here during the holidays, and also appears to be madly infatuated with her son. Garder Bille a fit too. You know Bill took her to the Lincoln dance. Hope you girls won't fall out over this Dean person. Delos Berry, you had better stop trying to tell us, if it is Bessle Bizzell or Alma Bizzle.

A Dangerous Condition
"There was a time when my health was not so good," says Mr. Miles Hopkins, of Catlettsburg, Ky. "I suffered a great deal from gas pains. My system was saturated with poison which was not properly eliminated. From time to time I had severe headaches, and I felt sluggish and dull.
"I knew of Black-Draught as a medicine for
CONSTIPATION
so I thought I would try it.
For a while I took a small dose every night until my system was rid of the accumulated poison.
"I gained in weight and my general health was good. That experience made me realize the merits of Black-Draught. I kept it in my home and when I begin to feel lifeless and dull, I take a dose, after which I feel O. K. again.
"I try to keep my system cleansed, and I find Black-Draught a great aid."

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.

Short Sermons
Dr. George D. Curry presented in deposition the subjects brought before the council.

ARMSTRONG — In sad but loving remembrance of my dear son, John Armstrong, who departed this life twenty years ago. January 1, 1917.
There is a mother who mi-*s* you sadly,
And finds the long time *s* i-*n* you went.
And think of you daily and hourly,
But try to be brave and content.
But the tears that I shed in *r*ence,
And I breathe a sigh of regret
For you were mine, and I remember
Thought the world lost.
By his loving mother, LOUISE MARTIN.
I often think of you, dear wife.
In your home beyond the skies;
Where you are free from sorrow and
And all your earthly trials.
I long to hear your tender voice,
As I move from day to day:
But thought you need to indulge
Give me strength to see the way.
By her husband, H. L. BOYER.
Or when we a joy to know we loved her
Yes, we loved her to the end;
But when we meet her up in Heaven
Our love for her will never end.
Dear Jesus, she is in your keeping
When we meet her on earth are endes
When our toils on earth are endes
May me meet mother on the way.
By her DAUGHTERS.
CURTIS is in memorial of my dear husband James Farren, who died July 2, 1928.
I will meet, but I'll miss him.
There will be one vacant chair,
And I'll yawn to carrress him.
When I breathe by evening prayer,
When I breathe by evening prayer,
Joy was in his dark-brown eyes;
But a golden chord is sounded.
And my hopes in ruins lie:
At my fireside, sad and lonely.
Often will my boson swell.
Of the fire that burns,
How my noble husband fell.
Yet they tell me a wreathe of glory.
Evermore will deck his brow.
But to sooth the anguish only,
Creeping over my heart sings now.
In thy green and mossy bed;
Dirges from the pine and cyperus.
Mingle with the tears I shed.

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."
With this sentence, Mrs. Viola B.
Hinkson, 167 Vine street, Middletown,
Conn. began her letter to the AFRO-
AMERICAN this week.
Mrs. Hinkson was formerly secretary to Beresford Gale, Philadelphia and New York realtor, who vacated his offices and apartments in both cities and is believed to have set sail for Rio de Janeria, South America, to have a home. I have any intentions of doing so," said Mrs. Hinkson, who is the wife of Dr. J. A. Hinkson, Main street, Hartford, Conn.
"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."
Up Against Blank Wall
Reporters of the AFRO-AMERICAN are up against a blank wall in the effort to say Mr. Gale's whereabouts. Most people think that the South America, but there is no certainty.
News of the disappearance of Mr. Gale developed when Mrs. Gale sought to secure finances with her home as security. Investigation revealed that her house, which also held a mortgage, had a new $3,000 mortgage. Reporters called upon Mrs. Gale again last week but without results. She declined to speak referring all inquiries to her attorney. Mrs. Ruth Graham-Stackman, who left his employee last May and married in June and is now the mother of a seven-week-old infant. Mrs. Stackman was able to throw no light on her former employer's state of affairs. She maintains that she totally ignorant of all his plans. Mrs. Stackman admitted being slightly acquainted with his recent secretary, Mrs. Hinkson. She worked for Mr. Gale for eight years and when he left her work, she took an office in the early spring, it was Mrs. Stackman who accompanied him.
