Court Termed "Jim Crow" Car Bill Useless A THREE DAYS' COUGH IS YOUR DANGER SIGNAL CREOMULSION MARYLAND HAS OUTGROWN JIM CROW RAILROAD By T. J CALLOWAY ANNAPOLIS, (Afro Bureau)—"If it is necessary for the comfort and safety of the passengers, and especially for the preservation of order, in portions of the State where the two races are anything like equally divided in numbers, or the feeling between the races is such as to make it desirable to keep them separated, the carriers themselves have full authority to do so." The above is the language of the Court of Appeals of Maryland as rendered in the Hearing in Washington, D.C. against the State of Maryland, as reported in the Maryland Reports page 555, volume 100. Sitting in the case there was a full jury convicted of the murder of McHerry, Page Pearce, Power, Boyd, Jones, Briscoe and Schmucker, representing every section of the State and the City of Baltimore. The opinion was Unnecessary By the language quoted the Court showed that the acts of 1904, commonly designated the "Jim Crow Car Laws," while the acts of the Legislature to enact them, nevertheless, wholly unnecessary and useless. The bill now before the Legislature, introduced by Senator William G. Gurley, with the common sense inference from the highest court of the State. The 25 years since the acts were passed the laws have been the Court of Appeals. In many cases the laws have been ignored, but in other cases the mischievous effect has been to burden the equipment not actually needed for traffic. Either two cars have been used where one would have been sufficient, thus decreasing the annual cost of equipment and old worn cars are kept in service when a single modern car would have been more satisfactory to passengers. But the major c sections to the "Jim Crow Car Laws" is that all people of the white people do not want any such restrictions upon travel. The people have a liberty loving people, asking and granting fair play and play, do not believe that individual liberty is worth hire.

The House passed a bill providing an appropriation of $600,000 for the first year for the further development of vocational education in rural communities. This sum is to be increased by $500,000 each year until the appropriation reaches $6,000,000, and then it is to be a permanent amount and appropriation added to the Smith-Hughs fund and shall be used for the salaries of teachers of agriculture subjects.

Kittrell Prexy Wants $7,000 North Carolina Frowns Upon 8 Month School Term KITTLEL, N. C.—President George A. Edwards, who widened his reputation some years from Kittrell College, and who had his resignation accepted by the trustees and his successor appointed, is still holding the position of his 69th chair. The conditions of his resignation was that the college should pay him $7,000, which it owes him on some various obligations, and secure the release of his name, some $13,000 in which he endorsed to the credit of the col- D. K. Chervy, formerly of the faculty of the State College at Greenboro, will not take charge of the school until ex-President Edwards. Experts point out that it is an unusual situation in which the college permits itself to be healed a degree to its executive officer. Danger lies in the fact that an unscrupulous (executive might) own the college after a short term in office. Bishop A. L. Gaines, of the dole, said that trustees expected to pay Mr. Edwards the $7,000 in a very short while. PROPOSED BILL GIVES D. C. TEACHERS ALARM Chairman Henry C. Gilligan, of the Legislation Committee of the Board of Education has been asked by the board to take charge of the fight to eliminate the provision included in the appropriation bill which specifies that the normal school graduates bets shall have preference when appointments of teachers are made. The act of 1873 authorizing the establishment of a normal school gave the Board of Education jurisdiction over regulations for the organization and government of the school and it provided that the preference in all cases when appointments of teachers for public schools shall be made. Grand Master Of Masons Buried Grand Master Of Masons Buried WASHINGTON, D. C.-Charles P. Ford, grand master of Masons of the Dumfries, and attorney at law, died Wednesday night at Freedmen's Hospital. Mr. Ford had been ill but awake time. He was elected grand master in this jurisdiction in 1923 and was serving town in this high office. The resumption of the work on the new masonic building, West Street, was mainly due to his effort and the completion of the nesday night at Freedman's Hospital. Mr. Ford had been ill but a short time. His master in master in this jurisdiction in 1923 and was serving his sixth term in this high sumption of the work on the new masonic building, at Tenth and You due to his effort and the completion of the work bore heavily on his mind as physical strength. He is survived by his widow, Lillian Ford, his sisters, Mrs. Marry Murray and Murray of Houston, Tex.; Mrs. Eloise Miller, of New Orleans; Mrs. Mary Dempsey, of New Orleans; Mrs. Albert Ford, of Alexandria, La., and Albert Ford, of East Chicago, Ind.

AGENTS WANTED EVERYWHERE Two Months Treatment $2.00 STUDENTS' MAIL CENSORED AT GIBBONS INST. Mrs. Daniel In Reply To John P. Davis Tells Reasons For Strict Rules COLOR OF PAJAMAS NOT IMPORTANT School Heads More Con- cerned To Have Pupils Wear Some Night Clothes By CONSTANCE E. H. DANIEL "Old King Cole Was a merry old soul, And a merry old soul was he, He called for his pipe And he called for his bowl And he called for his fiddlers, three." Presumably, Old King Cole paid for his fiddlers. That, it may be said, is considerably more than the exponents of students' rights are doing. It is a comparatively easy matter to arrive on the front face. If a person is not able to date profanity, a cigarette held at a rakish angle and a supercilious attitude toward religion is qui' sufficient to achieve the desired effect. For men seems to be scouting at the "old guard," who have nothing to recommend them other than a few decades of experience in resisting hesitancy in welcoming the 1929 sport model of would-be representatives of the group, with open arms. I belong neither to the old guard, nor to the vintage of 1929. I do claim, however, to know enough of the quiet, courageous and many times successful athletes, of the "old guard," made without the accompaniment of brass bands, to have a wholesome disgust for the loudness of their knowledge, and their offensively expressed opinions, who seem to think it a breach of etiquette to say a word of appreciation or respect those who blazed the trail for them. Watson's Cartoons The second of the four cartoons of Fred Watson, in the AFRO-AMERICAN ADMINISTRATIVE BOARD's practice of inspecting the mall of young women students. Our school here is a small school and a new school. It might be of interest to the new group of students, but it might be behind the making of rules. Being far from new in the school business, either as pupils or as teachers, sympatriizing with the desire to collect a list of students gone bad, with or without "too much supervision," the local management of this embryo institution, announced on the day it opened, without rules, but that whenever a student's conduit made a rule imperative to safeguard the interests of either the student or the school, at once that rule would be It is clear, therefore, that we are not handicapped. h rules ten, twenty or thirty years old. In other words we have no "antique regulations." Yet, among our graduates one person is the inspector of incoming mail, but the inspection of out-going mail, from young women students. Indecent Letters Let us return to Cartoon No. 2. In our files is a batch of letters received by a Baltimore girl during the first four months of her Institute's training. Having no particular reason for requiring the opening of mail, we did not open mail. This particular girl, however, received so much mail in the handwriting of her parents, and seemed so lacking in interest in her work, that we wrote to her parents for permission to confiscate and inspect this voluminous correspondence. The contents of some of these letters should be printed with as much publicity as Cartoon No. 2. The AFRO would lose its reputation for being a clean paper, without further a Frowns Upon school Term ALEIGH, N. C.—The General Assembly held up the McLean bill requiring a state-wide eight month state superintendent of public instruction, Dr. R. T. Allen, admitted that the extension to eight months would allow the McLean bill while 70 per cent of the colored pupils would benefit. The McLean proposal, which of course, has unified administration backing, is a above the minimum for intentional and limit the ad valorem rate for schools to forty cents, depending on a State equalizing fund of between nine and ten cents necessary for a state-wide eight months' term. Governor McLean also proposes a state and expenditures, a plan he estimates would save about a million annually over present costs, reducing the educational unit now in the state from one thousand districts to o. 1 hundred.

Bad Eggs In School Parents anxious to place their bad eggs where the odor will attract the least possible attention, in usually try a school which they believe is hunting for numbers with which to pad its enrollment. Some such parents made the unfortunate mistake of choosing this infant school for the supermarket. A 1928 arose-jointed, disheveled young woman from Atlantic City arrived on the boat from Baltimore. As she arrived at three in the morning, we gave her a bed and her to go to sleep. So far good. At ten A. M., whilo I was standing in the corridor, speaking with the Reverend Blank, a priest. We presented me with a letter buky enough: to be a magazine article. It was not, however, addressed to the editor of a magazine. It was addressed to some unknown man — at Light Street After our first experience we made the ruling that all girls' misbehavior was allowed, only after inspection by the matron, who happened to be myself. Therefore, I requested this second girl to be inspected for her own after it was inspected. She never returned. Students' Clothing The fourth cartoon deals with regulations on students' clothing. Relative to Carton No. 4, a few words will be quite as easy as personal experience, ease sure that what the school's priorities are is not to determine whether a student will render palatias...but WHETHER HE SLEEPS IN ANY. It might have interested some of our super-critics to marry the girl assigned to me for inspection as a young teacher, and to have discovered that not all girls go through the formality of school night cloorts. This was a Tuskegee. At Harvard It might have still further interested these people whose name is "Lionet" to know, with regard to offdish -s.d nXXX schools, that my better half had the great pleasure of teaching a colored graduate of the University of Illinois how to sleep between two sheets, younger, dressed in a great pleasant frost, dropping by the great dining hall at Harvard College, and watching the students rough-house with the food, dishes and cuisines inside, so they could dormitories, with the Harvard students camped, would have brought out the Health Squid if not the Reel and Hose, in any other case, these students would be the of the "Self-development" the "Lionet" would like to see embodied in Negro schools. I play cards. (Any partners reading this are requested to maintain a strict silence.) However, when I am on hand, without fear of a law-suit, Negro schools in which card-playing has led to gambling, yes, promiscuous gambling. We hope not to hear in rebuttal that *Chinese* budding is essential to perfect freedom. Undoubtedly there are many weaknesses in the many rules necessitated in the long roll of colored schools in the past. (For example, of justice (?)). Some of the schools thus arraigned I know intimately. Others I do not know at all. However, since from an evident many of Mr. Davis' critics are both superficial and unwarranted, there is no good reason to suppose that a similar proportion, concerning the schools known to me not are equally lacking Inferiority Complex What Whites Do Now. We cry loud and long about freedom. How much independence do we possess? The third definition of independence defined by the lat. edition of Websters's Dictionary, is, "Not subject to bias or influence," So? Then why do we not have to persistere every complaint with "The white schools are doing?" Why cry "independence" and then run around to catch every undesirable habit, to catch every undesirable habit, with which the young white group has burdened itself? Independence! This Legitimate group has not even undertaken Independence to make dispassionate study of the needs of its own group. It had rather prattle on hard ideas for twenty years, than to think for five minutes. We speak of disliking prejudice, and flippantly insignify every white man and woman in the category of Suspicious Characters. Walter White We want "freedom." Yes, men and women, we want to be perfectly free. We want to please Away with these women preceptresses, ruining all our young men. Just see Walter White of the show "The Walking Dead" though? And all due no doubt to that wretched old white woman, Elizabeth Pingree at Atlanta University, former President of the National Negro Educational Association. The cause of his ruined life is also Miss Elizabeth Pingree, more skeletons out of this poor woman. Once "Underworld Queen" Evicted As "Down And Outer" A. E. CHARLESTON, W. Va. — T.

We demand it. 90% Not Ready Critics and all, (and one thing the critics are certainly free to do... THINK.) I know and they know and we all know, that when ten or even twenty people might possibly assume intelligent direction of their own activities, including eating, sleeping and social contacts while in school, the other eight or ninety per cent ARE NOT READY to do so care or do care. What I do know is that we already have enough troubles without insisting on our God-given right to assume those of other peo- How They Come Out More than one student in more than one school, both industry and academy, roll, awkward, rough and uncouth, under teachers black .nd teachers white. And the end of a few years at the end of a few years of the awful persecution to which they were subjected, come out quietly man-made, self-possessed young men. What right did anyone have to tell them to eat *a* or about what to converse, or what colors to wear? Or them down at clean tables, with good linen and good food, when they had a perfect right to go around to the table with a cup of questionable coffee and unifying company? Religious Twaddle Am. were tired of this twaddle about religion. Religion indeed! Forget it! We are modern. This is the twentieth century. What right do you have to not want it. They may not want it. They have a right not to be proselytized. (But say, be sure you apply to the yer. for that job before you graduate.) They may not want it. IS one form of proselytizing, but well, er. got to have a job you know!) But to return to this independence, as I said, We are blase; we are world-wear. We are not to mention Menken. We don't give a hang about anything. We're going straight to the devil, howny. That is what all the college students have to fall for it too. We have once and for all, we demand the right to put on our fetters. You said. "Did we pay for our fetters? Well. er..a. no. Someone is paying for them just at present. Independence Listen, friends, assuming that all the schools are guilty as charged this week, and all the colored leaders ready for the crash can be in danger by the brains of "independence" about which all of us want to hear more is this: Independence that has courage enough to be grateful for help rendered by black people or by white people. Independence that can maintain and demand respect WITHOUT going around with one eye cooked sidewise and a chip on its shoulder. Independence enough to eschew harmful experiments and do its own thinking. Independence enough to respect the religion that brought every last drop of blood, out of the Land of Bondage. INDEPENDENCE ENOUGH TO PAY THE FIDDLER FIRST. AND THE AFTERWARDS! Cardinal Gibbons Institute, Ridge, Maryland. ST. LOUIS, Mo., (ANP.) — Fifteen years ago Mrs. Bettie Ray was a "queen" in the underworld of St. Louis. She was a dominant and familiar figure in a Lucas avenue neighborhood, where she conducted a resort strictly for white men. It was durability, and correlative influence, in other cities was sufficient enough for her to secure from those places women who could prey upon men who frequented her den of debauchery, and cunning girls. Bettie was able to establish for herself police protection, also financial prestige. Eight rooms of household furnishings and other effects, property of Ray, were occupied in the dwelling occupied at 3370 Lucas Avenue by Constables Clarence Fleming and Charles Wendell of the Fourth District, and placed on the sidewalk last Thursday, because she paid $150 — three months' back rent. The constables encountered difficulty in discharging their official duty. Wendell stated that it was necessary to abuse and cursing from the lips of the Mrs. Ray, in order to dispose the house of a bed suite that she inadvertently left behind. Each coursewould be accompanied. Wendell said, with books that Bettie hurled at his head. The scene created quite an exultate "in the neighborhood and was witnessed by a constable that discharged to see Bettie's "house" dismantled. SUPREME COURT OF W. VA. HITS J. C. LIBRARY CHARLESTON, W. VA. —The right of Negroes to joint use with white citizens of the Charleston public library was reaffirmed by the state supreme court Tuesday in denying a petition of the Charleston Independent School District for a re-hearing of the case. Judge Haymond Maxwell filed a concurring opinion on the petition of the Charleston Independent School District of Judge M. O. Litz, which held that "the governing body of a public library may not exclude persons therefrom on account of their color, race or previous condition of The school board set up two grounds for its action in providing separate offices of Charleston. The Negroes in their court action charged discrimination contending that the library provided for them did not contain the variety of volumes that was available to them. The school board denied them access, and even if the branch library had the same number of volumes and was equipped as well as the Charleston public library the Board and community (¹) excluded them from the same. The school board contended that authority to separate the library was given since it was part of the school system, and if it was not, the authority to separate the library was provided under police regulations. Like Judge Litz, Judge Maxwell drew a distinction between a "public library" and a "school library," holding there was not a separate law to indict the school library was that the phrase "public library" has a definite and well understood meaning. He also held that the separation was not authorized on the basis of the power of the state. This suit was brought and financed by the Charleston Branch of the National Association of Pollution People in the management of Anderson H. Brown, a wealthy real estate dealer. E. L. Powell, State Manager of the Supreme Casualty Company, and W. W. Sanders, State Attorney, whom are members of the Executive Committee of the Association. The Association and the plaintiff were represented by Attorney G. B. Mutton, President of C. E. Kimbrough, race attorney of Charlotte. Decision Unusual Mr. Nutter referred to Judge Maxwell's decision as unusual, for reheating the court very seldom renders a written opinion, merely marking them either granted or refused."

The oldest person to be issued a marriage license this week was Mr. Rachel Payne, sixty years old. of 323 Otterbain street, to wed her better half, James H. Johnson, widower, 55 years old. It made little difference to the white naver to hand to the parson as a proof of law abiding rule to unite them as one. She got to the office first, it seemed, received the white filled out sheet and was soon happily married for better of her. Miss Anna M James, 17, the youngest person on the marriage list this week, received the consent of her parents and was married to her noble knight, who paid down $2.00 at the office to claim her.

There was silence among 500 diners when Clinton Sowers, white, a member of the State Legislature, and members of honors, included them for what he termed a course of non-resistance. Mr. Sowers said this was an old Quaker doctrine which had been inculcated in him by his mother and assister, and was a part of his policy, which would everfall, win out. Sowers, likewise, stressed the fact that the Negro thought too much in terms of colored and white and that he had a kind of mind and think of colored and white folks alike as Americans and men. Judge Henry Replies Judge Edward Henry, of the Municipal bench, fidgeted in his chair during the debate when called upon to speak, Judge Henry stated that non-resistance was the evil which produced the present segregation in Philadelphia; which gave power to legislators and kept colorled legislators out of Pittsburgh. The jurist applauded the efforts on the part of Hart and Fuller to prevent the spread of the depolarizeable stem cell virus wiromania. He likened them to watchdogs. Then turning to Mr. Sowers he said, that Quakers were willing to work for the Negro but not to kill him with him. An a parting shot he said he was quite sure Mr. Sowers was a Quaker. James Stevens, who followed the judge, tried to stop the audience. Messrs. Hart and Fuller also attempted to say a word to appease the feelings of their colleague. **Red Cross Employs 45,000** **WASHINGTON, D. C.**—(AN P.)

Amendment Aimed At, Des Priest Will Be Snowed Under February 6th. WOULD AVOID TROUBLE Insult to DePriest Will Be Resented by Voters At Home WASHINGTON, D. C.—(Special)—The constitution of the Congressional Club is not likely to be changed at the meeting February 6th. Some members of the club considered the change which would permit the blackballing of an applicant. This would have enabled southern members of the club to bar the wife of DePriest, the president of the DePriest, congressman-elect from Chicago, on account of their color. Some Southerners have said they will resign unless the color line is drawn. In general, however, members of the club who are the wives of congressmen, senators, and supreme court justices and the smallest body that the organization must continue to be a rea. congressional club and not an aristocracy ruled by a small clique. They do not want a new construction of baskets which would permit blackballing. Result Would Be Sent At Home Members of the openly offered to Oscar DePriest would be resented by the colored voters back at home. There has been no colored member in the office, and at that time the Congressional Club had not been chartered, so it has never faced the color problem before. Oscar DePriest will have his office in the office Building. There isn't any question about that. Any congressman who doesn't want to have an office next to him will have to move. Well, without doubt, use the House rest room. The last colored member of the House, Congressman Geo. White, of North Carolina, who left in 1980, ate in the office, and whether any objection was made, if there was any objection, certainly Mr. White didn't care. Representative DePriest and his father, who was the Congressional reception at the White House as a matter of course, and there will be other official functions where his position will take him Even if the members of the Congressional Club find it possible to draw the color line, they will not have hundred and one official functions.

He represents the Negro-Welfare Association, a siate-tide volunteer group interested in ithe fepeal of the jim crow car law and the equaliza- tion of rural teachers’ salaries. "There hes long been dissatisfaction with Ma- ryland’s separate car-law and the poor salaries to colored rural teachers, but this agitation has usually frittered itself away in mass, meetings and delegations to the Governor and Legisla- tute, "The Maryland Interracial Commission, the only such state authorized body in the United States, is enother result of such agitation, on the part of those who felt that upstanding white persons could be found in Maryland willing to stand for fair play. Governor Ritchie presented the Interracial Commission's report to the Legislature on Tues- day without. recommendation : ‘in principle, the Commission's report is what the Association fully stands for, and the placing of a lobbyist in Annapolis is a confession on the part of the Association that the report mus fot only be sent to the Legislature, but the at- tention of its members personally invited to it. ‘Missouri Parent~Teachers Association | an- nounced last week a fund of $1,000 for “lobby- ing in favor of remedial legislation concerning Negro Education in Missouri.” ‘Annapolis has @ score of other lobbyists, in addition to Mr. Calloway, who are urging the Legislature to pass measures in which they ar Snterested. : ‘Were there colored representatives in the Ma- ryland Legislature, they should be expected lake the lead in fathering the needed legislation Jn the absence of such representatives, the Tn terracial Commission must depend upon the g00¢ ‘will of those legislators whose interests are nol supremely our interests, ‘With Governor Ritchie's okey, the jim crow repeal bill would go thru without, debate. ‘With the aid of State Superintendent -Alber Cook, the teachers’ salary bill would also pas ‘with ‘flags flying, : Both bills failed in the Iast Legislature twe years ago, ‘Their failure again this year would tbe a sad reflection upon the state and its ad- Ininistrators. a,Lobbying may help.

By J. A. ROGERS For several weeks one of the leading journals. Le Petit Parisian, has been carrying a series of articles entitled, "Four Months of Articles About African Negroes" by Albert Londres, following article, which is giv- All Backsides "We ought to have been made all backsides so that we would have ye more place to receive kicks." The blacks have sent a deputy to Paris; the whites remain in the Niger. They are neither black nor white. French nor African, neither The following list is en in full, dealt with the sad and unhappy men and those men who have been born to native women by white fathers, some of whom were officials and men of high position. "The other man is commanded wrote the to man in command of Timb- to" * In Soudan "It is now thirty-three years but I have never ceased to think of my time in the Southland of my little hut near Fort Bonnier? Where is my black sweetheart? And my son is was so sweet! He was. He was Robert. He is a man now. Where is he? I must tell you: I have often asked about him, but have never. I am Aissa. I would be very grateful if you would send me news of him." "Here is another letter from an- niversary." "You will remember that in 1904 I buried in the cemetery a boy named the fort, a child. On his tombstone I placed only Henry. If the sand has not covered it all, "Robert! Henry! Andrew! Only that. no surnames. "The mulattoes" "Half-breed children Beggars" "The little ones suck their Negro mothers. The father may be there or he may not be. He is an official, a merchant, an officer. If he is there it will not be for long. If he is away, it will probably be for all time. The child will grow to know what he returned to her parents. The people of the village will regard the child as a pariah, a beggar, and will want to know what he continues. It is neither white nor black. It is not White or Black "No fine social reasoning will influence this manner of looking at the mulatto child. The mother has an instinctive. It is neither white nor black, hence, it is nothing! The mother will marry with a Mandingo. Its wife will marry with a race, a family, country; they will be blacks. The mulatto will be a mulatto. He will have no name, no stamina, no place to which to place as his own. "Even the breasts that he sucks belongs only half-way to him. He will pass his life seeking the other half. As children they have never the air of being a mother. Orphans With Both Mother and Father "They are like those little playboats one sees in fountains. As soon as the wind blows them toward the edge they are immediately pushed back into water but not if they reach the centre of the fountain a stream of water plays on them. Many sink. Those who survive have lost their force. "Nameless, the half-cabal is sons of Catholic religion. The Republic does n't let them stay in the bushes. When they are seven years old they are torn away from the maternal calabash. They are brought together in the blood half-bloods. They form a strange category; orphans with father and mother. Father Stops In "Whilst the father is in Africa he does not abandon them. Does he happen to be near the school? He stops to see us and he goes to be married to the he happens to be married to a white woman. "One meets these mulattoes even in the best homes sitting between husbands and coming to Africa breaks the news gently to his wife on the boat. The French woman recognizes that it is her husband she is often intelligent, she welcomes the child during her stay. Thrust Out "As soon as she has some white babies, however, the little mulatto is thrust through the door. Poor little mulatoes. The blacks are black are not their brothers. It is, perhaps, because of that; it is because they have been trying so hard to understand this, that all have such large, wide-open eyes." "Those whose fathers have disappeared, and have nothing to do at this school are to be found in the villages. The mother has grown She is a girl and she is the head of the blacks. The child has only a christian name." "Look, says a passing white man, it is the son of So-and-So." And he gives the child a penny. "It's a girl and she is pretty, the white man all know her and will give her a quarter." "Midwives and Teachers" "Some are luckier. Joseph, for instance, is a girl and she is evening, at table, with his father. Mater Valseille's. His father is a buyer of cacao.

At no point on his program however, did he reach heights where his audience seemed worked up to a high Sang and Played This unfavorable condition was due apparently to a number of things, among which were: first, that he was not a suitable for concert work; secondly, that he performed with his back to the audience, playing his own accompaniment, according to clippings taken from Washington and Ohio papers, the composer's work was of high grade and the music it sings is found that Mr. Adams did not attempt to sing his numbers, but had others do the works for him, these same people singing and possessing good singing voices. Best As Composer As a composer, Mr Adams should be placed in the first rank. Practically all his compositions possess real melodies, but he also seems to seem to leave little room for improvement. Included piano compositions, kills, South numbers, consisting of Dumbar's ode set to music; sacred or secular for the program; semi-classic for the marches, concert numbers, and spirituals and airs. "Let Freedom's Music Ring," a hymn of freedom, and Mammoth's song, both featured on the program, as they were prize winners in the Rodman Wanamaker contest, first number, and first prize. The persons are unaware of the fact that Wellington Adams was the first and only music teacher of Aida Wird, the first woman to play the current colored show on New York's Broadway.

Following her concert she will engage in even more intensive study of the music, the singing of the title role in "Aida," a long-cherished ambition. Many Cities Lend Whitmans Talent When it came to recruiting talent for their show, the Whitman Sisters did a great job. Aside from the fact that they have had chorus girls from the Monumental Choir, the Whitman show now has Joseph Hubert and Billy, the juvenile dancer, in addition to Princess Wee Wee who has been a member of the Whitman family.

THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2 1929 Mask And Wig Club Makes Big Hit In Legitimate Stage Comedy With a fine vehicle in which to play, and with an exceptionally fine cast of characters to carry out the play, "Pollyanna," the glad girl, a comedy in four acts, was given by the Mask and Wig Club of the Frederick Donglass Senior-Junior High School, at the school auditorium, Friday evening. From the beginning of the comedy to the final curtain, real live entertainment was being given. In fact, the audience laughed so heartily at times, that the performers were forced to delay speaking their lines. Then there were the pathetic scenes, in which Misses Ruth Dean, Llewelyn Husket, Messrs. William Howard and Sterling Wallace were, so realistic. No doubt, there were tears in the eyes of manv of the audience during the portrayal of the scene where Pollyanna pleads to her mother's portrait for sympathy. The story has to do with "Pollyanna," a loveable and lively orphan child, who is taken from a missionary home by an aunt, not to be loved, but because her aunt feels it her duty. How Pollyanna finally finds happiness in the home of her childhood sweetheart, forms the plot of this m- enjoyable offering. Ruth Dean in the role of "Follyanna, easily walked off with honors as being the outstanding star of the play, while William Howard, as a close friend, joined the close runner-up for honors in the first place with Miss Dean. Especially good was the character portrayal of Miss Polly, Harrington, on the screen, and of Llewellyn Husketh. This young lady took off the part of the seasoned, narrow-minded old maid as only a true professional could have done. Then there was Sterling Wallace, who presented part Doctor Chilton, Peterson and Dr. Holl, acquitted himself in this role most nobly, as did John Holt and all the other members of the cast. To Lenna Linberry, who played the role of the patient, the avant, goes the major part of the honors as a producer of humor. Acting in a most servant fashion and using the true dialect of the every-day Irishman, Miss Linberry was coaxing with laughter whenever she appeared on the stage. As Pollyanna, Miss Dean will be long remembered, as she put hurting hands to the ground in real life every day. This young performer rose to the heights of a true professional in scenes, both of the humorous and serious natures. She was one of the best masculine speaking voices heard on the amateur stage for many years, and although only a junior, easily portrayed the part of the patient in actions and in speaking voices. The above members of the Mask and Wig Club of Douglass High School took part in the Catherine Cushing comedy "Pollygarn," that was presented in the school auditorium Friday and Saturday nights. Two casts made it possible for the presentation of the play on the two nights! From left to right they are: Ruth Dean, William Howard, who appeared in both casts, Lilewelly Husketh, Henriella Brown and Lenora Linberry. Penn Studio.

THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2 1929 Convention Bills Have Not Yet Been Paid IF IT'S GOOD IT'S AT THE REGEN MONDAY REGENT $900 BEHIND The question of whether or not money should be contributed to Northern University by the local Baptists was the cause of a prolonged discussion by the presbyterian Epon Baptist Church. Monday. Northern University is located in New Jersey and previously the question of giving the institution financial aid has been brought up, but on this occasion, it was made the order that day and was discussed from all angles. All Agree On Needs Rev. G. A. Crawley brought the matter before the body and with the aid of Rev. Junius Gray, described the work the place is to do, and gave an idea of approximate! how much money should be raised by the people here. Rev. Gray put the figure at $3,000. All the ministers spoke agreed that the university should be supported and was a good cause. A Committee Authorized On the motion of Dr. Gray, a committee was authorized to study the situation. The motion was pass' but Dr. Simon. Williamson, Dr. Arthur Payne and others voted in the negative, because they did not approve of the method. After many different people were heard from, the matter was on the table for further consideration. Many Objectors There was much objection to the motion on the ground that the Bantist. Convention had not, up to the present, looked after all of its obligations, and in view of this fact, many thought the Northern University could rest a while. Dr. D. G. Mack called the attention of the meeting to the fact that $900.00 was still owed on the Baptist Convention, which the local preachers entertained in Baltimore in 1925. Dr. Mack thought that it should behoove the meeting to look after its honest debts before giving money elsewhere. Charity, according to Dr. Mack, starts at home. Visitors The visitors to the meeting were: Rcv. J. M. Boyd, Messrs. T. J. Calloway and William Holliday. Jack Preston, 714 Lafayette avenue. was held for the action of the grand jury, under $1,000 bail, on charges of assaulting and robbing George Belle, in the $2,500 bail on charges of assaulting in the 1220 block Shields alley, on January 10th, after a hearing in the Northwestern police station, Monday.

IS YOUR ATLANTIC CITY PLANS AN ALL WHITE BEACH Business Men Threaten To Fire All Colored Help Unless They Agree SPECIAL JIM CROW BEACH IS PLANNED Race Hotel Men Willing For Separate Beach To Hold Their Jobs ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. —Fearful that beach front hotel operators and boardwalk business men would fire all colored help in order to bring an end to mixed bathing on the resort beaches, the Colored Welfare Association has petitioned the city for a jim crow beach. Atlantic City whites declare they have had a tremendous lost of business because of white and colored lathers in the Atlantic ocean from the Steel Pier to the Million Dollar Pier. Some of the city's leading hotel men are threatenir, to sell their holdings on the beach front unless they can monopolize the sand and the water direct" in front of those places and keep all colore... people Jim Crow Assured JOHN CROW *Assured* John CROW, head of the Matborough - Blenheim Company, who had announced he was willing to sell his hotel for $5,000,000, when assured that no colored people would be permitted to use the beach in front of Ohio avenue, sent out their advertisement, which has been in his fat fat for 80 years and increased its *capacity* to 1,000 rooms. Frighten Colored People White business men, using every weapon at their command, threw a seat into the blasted association recently by changing over one of the largest hotels from colored help to white help. The Northside Welfare Association has agreed to request the city to embark a bath house in the downtown section of the exclusive use of colored bathers. They also want Wahls colored bath house; which for a stood at Texas avenue and the Boardwalk, done away with. Max Grossman, white, executive secretary of the Avenue Hotel Association, white, is reported as saying that Manatee City's colored building would hold a linie crow bath house if they have fairly accessible and up to the standard of other resort bath houses. Colored leaders, he said, realize what it would mean if every resort hotel and big business establishment were to fire colored help in order to make their residence here an economic impossibility. Colored hotel men have expressed the desire to cooperate in bringing about a solution. "Mixed bathing of white and coloured so spread here that Society business is done. There must be no delay in bringing about solution to our most vexing problem." Louisville Church Burns LOUISVILLE. Ky.-St. James. A. M. E.

No Chance That Hoover Will Enforce 14th Amendment Seven Presidents Since Harrison Haven't Lifted Little Finger To Enforce It—Congressman Crumpacker Preceded Congressman Tinkham By 24 Years In Seeking Reduction of Representation of Disfranchising States. BY KELLY MARSH The Fourteenth Amendment is what might have lied in baseball practice and is sacrifice fit. It never had any intrinsic merit in itself, but was calculated to effect an ulterior purpose. After the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment, slavery ceased to exist as an organized institution. Public presentation in Congress, the original Constitution, and based upon free speech and other persons, in the ratio of five to three. Logically the Fourteenth Amendment was wholly unnecessary. All free persons, and all persons were then free, automatically acquired equal weight as represented titles. The device of representation meant merely a make-in-law to induce the former slave states to accord to the Negro the elective franchise. It never was intended to limit the basis of representation; except to meet the exigencies of a local and temporary situation. Membership The membership of the House of Representatives and of the Electoral College is based primarily upon population, without regard to sex, age, race, nationality, or the choice of whom the fathers in her dreamed of entranching counted equally with men; children who were expressly excluded by the age requirement had like weight as adults; foreigners born on commission to the quota. Only the slave and the Indian, not taxed, were restricted or excluded MAIL *on the basis of apportionment. There never was, and there is not now, any serious intention of the court to count every person as one regardless of political or natural peculiarities.

Race Town OWNER IS AROUSED; FIRES THRU DOOR BUENA VISTA, MD.—A "blind" shot by W. A. Davis, keeper of the general store in this colored town, wounded a white burglar and put his three pals to flight early Sunday morning. William H. Benton, 29, 310 Baltimore boulevard, Riverdale, Md., is at the Casualty Hospital with a bullet wound in his abdomen. He contended all day Sunday that he was shot by two unidentified men who accosted him shortly after midnight. Hannah Stroup, white, Bento's 19-year-old niece, and her 20-year-old husband, Carald Stroup, both of Riverdale, told the same story for awhile. They took Benton to the Casualty Hospital at 2 o'clock Sunday morning and explained at the time that they found him leaning against a telephone pole a block and a half from his home suffering from a bullet wound. An investigation of a party at the Benton-Stroup home, Saturday, and questioning by the police brought about a fire that the party broke up about 12:30 Sunday morning. Every one left except Jack Strouth, also a member of the party. Since they were hard up the four decided they would go out on the Defense highway, and rob a store. They drove in Strout's automobile to the Davis store, got out and Benton is sale have tried to unbind with a key which he had in his pocket. After several attempts, Strouth said he heard a noise inside of the store and suggested 'n Benton that they had been discovered and they had better beat it. A shot rang out and he was with the police. Police immediately interviewed Davis who said that he had heard someone try to enter his store and had fired blindly through the door with a 45 calibre Winchester rifle. He had no idea anyone was hurt and was not arrested. Further investigation brought out it that the Benton was carrying a 32 calibre revolver. Davis' gun was a 45 calibre rifle, such as he had used to shoot bears in Pennsylvania. He pulled the trigger the first time, but the gun failed to go off. He pulled it a second time and let ripped thru the door. The man ran and he didn't think it hit any- Pulled Eight Times Then Davis said he ran outside and called for them to stop. They were in the car coming in his direction and only about 15 feet away. He drew a head on them and pushed the rifle again, then attacked the gun. He had snapped eight times and had gone off only once. It was the first time, hes aled the rifle had ever missed. Davis declared that he had won hunting bears in Botswana for 20 years and he generally not what he shot at. Except for the fact that in his anxiety, the cartridges of the gun jammed, Davis estimated that there would have been four dead people in the car. The bullet went through Benton's body, cutting his belt in two as it came out.

Howard Student May Rule Dad's East African Kingdom Death Of Father Raises Question As To Successor; Prince Is Popular Athlete OPENED? Tom Fleming, Cleveland Solon, Indicted After Speedy Hearing ACCUSER IS CRIPPLED WHITE POLICEMAN Fleming Accused Of Soliciting $200 Bribe For Introducing Bill CLEVELAND, O., (Special) — City Councilman Thomas W. Fleming denied receiving a $200 bribe for legislation enacted by the council to aid a crippled policeman, Monday. Fleming was indicted by the grand jury, pleaded not guilty and demanded an early trial. Walter Oehme, crippled policeman, testified he paid Fleming $200 for legislation enacted by the council to relieve Oehme for medical bills for treatment for injuries received in service. Bond was fixed at $1,000. Subpoenas were issued for C. C. Curtis, manager of the West End branch of the Cleveland Trust Company, where the check for $200 was drawn for Fleming, according to the policeman, and Fred Brewer Oehme's relative who accompanied him to the trial, the day they said they drew the check for Fleming. Curtis brought with him the check alleged to have been given Fleming. Oelme said he personally presented the check to Fleming at the Elks' Club on E. 55th street. Fleming, in a statement issued, declared the action of the grand jury was a terrible shame. "I am absolutely innocent. "I have known Walter Oelme for 10 years. I knew him before he was crippled, wanted to do all he had to him. Oelme's charges certainly came as a surprise to me. I don't see how he could make such a statement. Anybody that knows me, knows that I wouldn't do anything like that. "If he thinks he's got a check, let him produce it. If I got a check, my name would be on the back of it. Yes, let him produce the check." Injured Making An Arrest Oelme was injured, in a struggle with John Erlin, a dope addict, whom he killed. Ordinance: introduced by Fleming for Oelme brought the crippled policeman a pension of $75.00 a month. Three thousand persons crowded into Mt. Zion Congregational Temple Sunday afternoon for a mammoth mass meeting. The audience overflowed the church auditorium and made a rare demonstration, expressing their confidence in Fleming and served notice on the newly elected Democratic county prosecutor, Ray T. Miller, white, that Negroes will brook no humbug in the coming trial. Howard Stude Dad's East Afr Death Of Father Raises Q Prince Is Pop WASHINGTON. — With the death of H. H. David K.

The smallest crowd to witness a basketball game this season was presented when referendum was presented interesting but of what proved to interest but slow game. The game was a hard-fought one turn, out, with several players and occured a toughness. The Ath- forward and former member of the Scholastics anexeet the dospesters before the fracs began. Shortly after the initial tap-off Wyatt foiled Dalton, who free the ball, and then scrimmaged the court for a stray two minutes.

The title, however, was not at stake and the fighters were matched for a championship bout, to be held in New York City. Dundee, according to the contract, and the fight was postponed. In the meantime, Thompson took a lacing from Jackie Fields and according to the decision of the Boxing Commission Tuesday, Dundee's manager John Leo canceled the Thompson fight.

DILLARD The iron man of the east end met a force that could resist that ore when the versatile Hayes Scott won the judges' decision of the tournament, jabbing the latter to submission in their six-round setto before a large crowd at the New Albert Auditorium, Tuesday night. Lacking that killer instinct which he is claimed by his backers to possess, Dillard was unable to cut the upper cuts and one-two blows that Scott continued to lay upon him. Scott was able to realize the much desired change for the decision won for him eight months ago at Riverview. The winner showed exceptional ability to out general the opponents and in the range fighting Scott held the advantage and only when the two would stand toe to toe for a slug-fest would Dillard have a sword. *Semi-Windu Uneven* In a quick and one-sided semi-windup Young Kid Norfolk kowed Young Ski in the second stanza of the game.

Probably best known as a broken field runner, Pollard could also hit the line and the ball, and was a great opponent, a terror to all of Brown's opponents." Pollard was shifty and brainy, always being on the alert to take the advantage of a break in the game, but he was not great at playing his color Fritz had to play unusually hard and had to take a lot of hard knocks from prejudiced opponents. But he was great at agreeing to the game, was impossible to get him off his fe. Once in possession of the ball he never let it go and when Fritz was carrying the ball, he was great at gain. It just had to be done. Pollard, in my estimation, should go down in history as the greatest football player of all time. *Stood Men On Heads* William Pollard himself, a former football player, and who in his time has seen many of the major stars perform on the gridiron, also believes that Pollard was the greatest on the moleskins, greatest of color. "Individually, Fritz Pollard, a lilac, dusky, six-foot half-ring, displayed the cleverest all around him. Pollard played in the field this season. In the end running, forward passing, in executing a bewildering criss-cross and delayed pass run, Pollard played in running back punts, in stepping and dodging Yale tacklers in a broken field. Pollard gave a peerless performance, the crowd of 25,000 spectators up with a roar in the opening minutes of the final playing period. Dodged Entire Team. Caleb Hobson, Pollard aloft midfield by the toe of Harry Legere Pollard dexterously threw off the Yale ends, started towards the end of the game. Yale tacklers in that direction, then using a puzzling side-sweep switched to the left where he outstretched his arms sprint for the Yale goal line, sailing across for the second touchdown for the visitors. This heartbreaking performance, the crowd applauded and the Ells were never dangerous afterwards." Shaw, 18; Brick, 11 By "NAVY ARMSTRON" University "Bears," suffering from the defeat handed them by Va. State College last week, staged a brilliant comeback here Thursday night and defeated "Panthers" by an 11 score. WITHOUT A PEER That's what officials and many sport fans say about Fritz Pollard, the former Brown University flash who raced through Harvard and Yale for touchdowns when only 158 pounds, is often spoken of as the man "who couldn't be gotten off his feet."

WALTER Thompson Company (ANP) - Retail business in the United States is undergoing changes which are almost as sweeping as those which follow - the introduction of power driven machinery. The real cause for these changes is the increasing power of machines that would possibly give skilled clerks a very equivalent to what they can get as skilled mechanics and make a: money out of a small store. A store selling $2,000 worth of goods takes a year has weekly sales of $1,000, and at 12% net profit, which is the most that many lines of goods will stand, this gives the store-keeper $2 a week in income in some parts of the country represent a fair return for the work and worry of directing a $2,000 business, but in many places it represents no more than a waltreatment of work is moderately continuous. And yet, the recent census of distribution taken in eleven cities shows that out of 80,000 independent retailers, 12 per cent did more than $50,000 a year each. These, to be sure, did over 70 per cent of the independent retailers less than $50,000 were paying their owners less than $25 a week in profits. Moreover, 28.06 per cent of the dependent retailers less than $50,000 and hence paid their proprietors less than $2.50 a week profit, of course, is less than a low wage for unskilled labor. This is the reason of retail business is one of the reasons for the spread of chain store organizations.

Apparently many of those who are small and small merchants are selling their brains at less than they are worth. In other words, they are selling a price for nominal independence. The probabilities are that the lot of the small merchants is that of the larger ones as time goes on. It is my conviction that • chain store organizations as a field of retail operations are more important during the next few years offer many advantages over small scale independent stores. Society apparently is making up more money than it can afford to support as many small shopkeepers as it once did; and the small storekeeper in exchange for his nominal salary is adequate wage by the larger organizations in the retail business, or is going to earn a better living in some more constructive, even if more active and exacting, pur Business Men Meet NEW YORK CITY, Jan--Following a recent luncheon conference called by Dr. Robert R.

It is said that the wife of the deceased is the mother of that that Mrs. Lily May Jackson and Mrs. Snowden, both sisters of the deceased, collected an insurance policy of $1000 in November, they are also responsible for the funeral bill that she has refused to pay Mrs. Holland. The bill claimed by Mrs. Holland is $307.75. Charles Carroll died January 9, 1928, and was buried in 1934 in his sister at 1934 Drum Hill avenue. DRS: FRIEDENWALD TREAT ALL PATIENTS The Editor: "Our attention has just been called to an article referring to us which appeared in your issue of last week.

"We have always treated patients applying to us for advice, whether in our office or chew are, without any regard to their race or color, as numerous individuals can testify. The patient refers to us to article in the office on Tuesday morning. She was met by our secretary and, without stating that she had been referred by another physician, inquired as to her examination. She was informed of our regular fees and then inquired as to whether there was any way she could see us at less expense, and was told that this could be done at "She then stated that she had been referred by Dr. Ralph Young, whereupon our secretary asked her to wait in the office until we could see patients. We were able to see patients in our office referred by other physicians irrespective of their ability to pay our fee. The patient, however, said she would pre-fer to be referred to Dr. Young." "Short after, aides Dr. Young, who had evidently comprehended the attitude of ourselves and of our secretary, phoned to our friend, saying we were impossible to uset to him to listen courteously to what we had to say, though we told him that he must be under some misapprehension as to what had occurred."

By PROFESSOR FUDGE THE FEDERAL ATHLETIC and Social Club held its regular informal dance in the Golden Slipper ballroom of the Penn Hotel in Tuesdays. This will be the last social entertainment given by the club, if rumor is true. It appears that in the middle of the dance, some people other than social, and I hear some good track men are to be developed. On the occasion of the last dance, some people seem to be involved in efforts to form some of the members to let their outside women have a chance to attend a public affair. The members succeed in getting their wives at home, but were not able to keep the matter quiet. The news has started to penetrate and they say, "We are going to 'gallop' them little bit." Going To Pieces After looking the situation over, I came to the conclusion the Dandy Fifth is going to pieces, and the only fact that death had made, Johnny Aires resign his post as band librarian of that outfit, quite some years ago. Johnny Aires was the only official Negro in the Fifth Regiment. He knew less than the Colonel. It was his duty to walk six spaces behind the band on parade, and to appear as important as possible. He wore a regulation red shirt not operus with his band, but would lead Charlie's band. Had Johnny Aires been living, before he would have stood for the Fifth being late, he would have aroused all of the detachment individually, six o'clock in the morning. Why Not? THIS SEASON WILL FIND Ben Taylor heading the Bacharach Giants of Atlantic City, instead of the local Black Sox aggregation. Ben's going will of course be regretted by all of the fans, and in view of the fact they are not only reasonable thing they can do is to wish him well in his new venture. In the absence of an official Ways and Means Committee, as a "gallery god" I would suggest that he should be given the opportunity to say some sort of token of remembrance on the side. He has hit the ball hard. He has managed the team well. He has brought home the hawk and has faced the challenge of his achievements will some good man step forward and act as treasurer for this good cause?
