P. $12,000 Senate Committee Finds Colored and White Used Same Means to Collect Campaign Funds. WASHINGTON, D.C., April.—Letters, telegrams and affidavits showing large contributions to Republican campaign funds by Federal office holders in the states of Texas; Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama, and Tennessee were put into the record of the Stante committee investigating Southern patronage by Chairman Brookhart, Republican, of Iowa, last Friday. 8 WED AT ROCKVILLE No D. C. Couples Married Recently at State's Gretna Green. Most of these contributions went into the coffers of the Republican national committee. The practice is for the committee to assess each state so much based on the number of Republican votes cast in the last election. The national committeeman is notified of the amount assessed against his state and is instructed to raise not less than that sum. He collects either directly or indirectly from Federal office holders, whom he has recommended for the offices they hold. Howard. Assessed $5,000; Paid $12,000 In 1924 an assessment of $5,000 was made against the state of Mississippi by the Republican national committee. Perry W. Howard, the national committeeman, was instructed to raise that amount in his state. He appointed a committee for the collection of campaign funds and through this committee $12,000 was turned over to the Republican national committee. Chairman Brookhart also put into the record affidavits collected by the Post Office Department showing more than $12,000 was contributed by 110 postmasters of Mississippi, while a total of 154 postmasters said they had never contributed. Mrs. Booze Some of the money, the affidavits said, went to Eugene P. Booze, of Mound Bayou, Miss., the husband of Mrs. Mary C. Booze, the Republican national committeewoman for that state. All appointments in the congressional district in which she lived were controlled by Mrs. Booze. Assessed Postmaster W. T. Heslip, postmaster at Indianola, Mis, who said he had given $425, stated that he was shown a letter written by Howard in which it was said "there woulid be several post office vacancies in Mississippi and named Indianola as one of them." Booze, who showed him the letter, Heslip said, told him his share of the campaign expenses would be $500, but he finally agreed to pay $200. Paid $555 C. V. Taylor, postmaster at Clarksdale, Miss., said that he paid $555 in 1923 to Charles Banks, who is now dead. Banks showed him a letter from Howard, Taylor said. R. K. Haxton, postmaster at Greenville, Miss., said he gave $2,125. He subscribed $500 of it in the form of an investment in an insurance company, in June, 1921. At that time M. J. Mulvihill, white, of Vicksburg, Miss., was the Republican national committeeman for that state. This insurance company, Haxton said, was seeking to sell stock to every postmaster in Mississippi on the representation that its officers were men of strong influence in the Republican party in that state. It was a white company. Affidavits regarding postmaster contributions in Arkansas and Tennessee, together with correspondence relating to Alabama patronage, were also put into the record by Senator Brookhart. Got Hoover's Approval The largest amount of the testimony introduced, and the part that received the greatest emphasis from Senator Brookhart, bore on the situation in Texas, where R. B. Creager is state chairman of a lily-white organization and Republican national committeeman. Mr. Creager's organization has received the approval of President Herbert Hoover. The Republican organizations in the states of Arkansas and Alabama have also been approved by President Hoover.

Did Not Know About Questionnaire President Johnson told The Afro-American that he did not know about the questionnaire until the matter was called to his attention by one or two alumni. Dr. Johnson said that the questionnaire represented an exercise of the class in sociology and he did not regard it of public importance. No official significance can be ating and circulating in a class in the tached to any questionnaire originat-university. His View.

BAVER ASPIRI Dixie Whites Plan Fight To Keep Oscar DePriest From House Seat III. Congressman Will Be Asked to Stand Aside Oath Will Be Administered, However, By Combination Vote of Republicans and Liberal Democrats. By LOUIS R. LAUTIER WASHINGTON, D.C. — Oscar DePriest, Representative-elect from the first congressional district of Illinois, will be asked to stand aside when he presents himself with his state delegation to take the oath of office as a member of Congress next Monday. DEPRIEST NAMES BOYS FOR NAVAL ACADEMY When the clerk of the House, William Tyler Page, reaches the state of Illinois in his call of the roll by states for the purpose of administering the oath. Democratic members elect from a southern state will object to the giving of the oath to Mr. DePriest. Mr. Page will then ask Mr. DePriest to stand aside until all other members-elect have been given the oath. Want Reference to Committee The member who objects to the administering of the oath to Mr. DePriest will later offer a resolution providing that the prima facie right of Mr. DePriest to be sworn in as a member of the seventy-first Congress as well as of his final right to a seat in it be referred to a special committee of the house to be appointed by the Speaker, and until this committee shall report and the House decide this question and right, Mr. DePriest shall not be sworn in nor be permitted to occupy a seat in the House. To Be Appended This resolution, however, will not be adopted as originally offered. It will be amended and Mr. DePriest given the oath of office. The objection to the swearing in of Mr. DePriest will be based upon the question of his moral fitness. There is no question about the regularity of his election. It is not doubted that the voters of the first congressional district of Illinois elected him as their representative. There is no question about his possession of all the qualifications for a Representative prescribed in the Constitution. He Is Colored It will be conceded that he has the requisite age, has been a citizen of the United States for the required period and is an inhabitant of the state of Illinois. But he is colored and is under indictme. t in Chicago on a charge in connection with the running of gambling houses and the collection of graft and their relation to the primary election of last spring. Sole Question The sole question in the DePriest case is whether or not the House has power to impose qualifications in addition to those enumerated in the Constitution or declare a disqualification when a member-elect comes to the bar. There is no decision of the Supreme Court on the question. There has been much academic discussion of it. The Constitution makes each House the judge of the election returns and qualifications of its own members. "Either the word 'qualifications' means the legal qualifications, which are carefully prescribed in the Constitution," says Representative James M. Beck, Pennsylvania. "or ill means intellectual or moral fitness. If the latter view is accepted the House is virtually a social club and a member-elect may be excluded because of his race, color or religion. Voters Only. Judge The other view is that the voters are the judges as to the character of men that the will send to the House as their representative, irrespective of his intellectual or moral qualifications, and that the only limitation upon their choice are that he shall be 25 years of age, a citizen of the United States for at least seven years, an inhabitant of the State, and that he shall not hold any other office under the United States. DePriest Coming Mr. DePriest has been put upon the bill by virtue of his certificate of election. He has been assigned an office in the House Office Building. He says he will be here Monday when congres convenes in extra session to take the oath of office. Can't Be Bluffed there is a report current in con- spirional circles that he has been duired to remain away from here until the regular session of Congress December and draw his pay without attempting to take the oath. But he has wired that he is coming for the opening of the extra session. THE WEATHER FAIR--WARMER Sun rises: 5:42 a. m. Moon rises: 5:24 a. m. Sun sets: 6:39 p. m. Moon sets: 5:30 a. m.

G.O.P. CONGRESSMAN PREFERS DEMOCRAT Willing to Have Office Anywhere Except Next to DePriest. HE'S LILY-WHITE Republican, Should Be White Man's Party, He Says. WASHINGTO. — "Anywhere except next to Oscar DePriest." These are the directions of George Pritchard, white, newly-elected North Carolina Republican Congressman, assigned to Room No. 132 in the Office Building, next to DePriest's room, No. 130. Pritchard sent the following wire in his secretary last week: "Office room No. 132 is unsatisfactory. Vacate immediately. Lock door and deliver key to superintendent of House Office Building. Remove my name from the door. We will secure offices when I arrive." In room No. 128 on the other side of DePriest is Melvin J. Maas (Rep. Minn.) He has made no application for a change. Lily-White Pritchard comes from a group of western North Carolina counties, where the Negro population is thin and race hostility rather strong. One or two counties in his district have tried at times to bar Negro laborers. Tlese mountain counties have been Republican strongholds for years. Pritchard said his constituents would not like his office to be located next to that of a colored person. He said he believes that the G.O.P. in the South should be a "white man's party." Leaders of the House had a plan to give DePriest a room on the second floor far removed from any other but a Southern Democrat, Jeff Busby (Mississippi), who has been here a long time, claimed it by seniority. This room picked for DePriest was above the average, located near an elevator, but isolated. Pritchard will be given another room if he asks for it, although it may not be as good as the one he now has. Some Northern Republican will be asked to take the one beside DePriest's. No Room No.130 Room No. 130 which is assigned to Mr. DePriest is not listed in the Congressional Directory assignments or 1926, 1927 or 1928. LaGuardia Wants DePriest Next to Him WASHINGTON — Rep. F. H. LaGuardia, New York's representative from the 20th District (Dem.), wired Speaker Longworth, Monday: "Have noticed in press agitation among some members against allotment of office to our colleague from Illinois. Mr. DePriest," the telegram read, "I will be glad to have him next to my office. It is manifestly unfair to embarrass a new member. I believe it is our duty to assist new members, rather than humiliate them." Representative LaGuardia, who is of Italian descent, occupies Room No. 150 in the House Office Building. ant superintendent of the district schools. The block already has been dubbed "Congressional Row." House Once Declined to Seat South Carolina Congressman Jos. Rainey, But Reconsidered Case the Next Day WASHINGTON.—The DePriest case to come before Congress Monday recalls how the U. S. House of Representatives refused for one day to seat Joseph H. Rainey, one of the twenty colored men who served in the lower house. Mr. Rainey was elected to the forty-first Congress. The secretary of State of South Carolina, gave him a certificate of election, but before the convening of Congress this secretary died. J. S. Richardson, who contested the election of Rainey, presented a statement from the succeeding secretary of State and Governor Wade Hampton declaring that there were outrages, intimidation and fraud to such an extent as to render the result of the election exceedingly doubtful. Finally Seated When Mr. Rainey presented himself, he was asked to stand aside. The next day a resolution was offered and passed that he be now given the oath. Victor Berger, white, convicted of violating the espionage act, was refused a seat in Congress in 1918 and again in 1919. Re-elected by his State a third time, Congress finally seated him. Roberts Case Brigham H. Roberts, white, was refused a seat by the 56th Congress because he had been convicted of polygamy. Prior to these, every congressman-elect provided with a certificate of election had been immediately seated. IMPROVE YOUR APPEARANCE!

The college men, at a special meeting, moved to suspend classes until the Board of the Baptist Home Mission Society, to whom they have appealed, shall adjust the situation. Charges Made Charges made against the president are general undesirability, inconsistency of policies, opposition to liberal program, dismissal of all liberal teachers, the use of politics to gain ends, and the general attitude toward students being that of master toward slaves. It is also charged that he is responsible for the unpopularity of the school in the state and that he suppresses free speech and any written criticism of the institution on the campus Rumbling started among the student body when a federal report published by the U.S. Bureau of Education called attention to the fact that a dean of the college claimed a Ph.D. degree from Providence University in 1907.

This superior contact is breeding in the better class of the dark race, a critical fastidiousness, a delightful arrogance toward the average white man, on the part of the educated black man that is interesting, not to say ironic. Many dark men of your acquaintance care as little to know you as you care to know them. I may be accused of writing too passionately upon this subject, but it is a subject about which one may not write dispassionately. One thing of which I am increasingly sure—the barriers are down. The day is fast approaching when inter-marriage will be common, and excite little comment, and the best members of both races will welcome it. EXPRESSED DESIRE When it was known that I possessed the courage to openly love a dark man—and to be seen with him, everywhere it was possible—I was amused, not to say astonished, to find how many of my white friends expressed a desire to share my experience, and later, openly courted it. So—it will soon be the fashion in Hollywood to have a dark lover. You may have this indignantly denied, but please bear in mind that denial and indignation are in themselves, suspicion. On the other hand, you are likely to receive letters begging for my address, from readers who wish to become eligible for The Black and White Club. I have written a book called Dark Lover. I have made it into a play. I shall find a publisher for the book, and a producer for the play. You will read the book, and attend the play, sharing vicariously the thrill of my dark lover. My dark lover smiles at my naivete. He says I take him too seriously. I think, perhaps, he is right. Radio and Flivver Cannot Keep 'Em Down on the Farm 490,000 Negroes Left Country for City Last Year. U. S. Farm Population Smallest in 20 Years. WASHINGTON, D.C. (Capital News Service) - The farm population of the United States is now the smallest in twenty years, according to the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, U.S. Department of Agriculture. It estimates a farm population of 27,511,000 persons on January 1, 1929, as compared with 32,000,000 persons in 1909. Even modern methods of farming, the flivver and the radio are unable to keep them down on the farm as city life becomes more and more attractive. Last year more than 1,960,000 persons, approximately 490,000 of which were colored, left farms and moved TUY Student Was Run-Down "I THINK Cardui is the best builder on the market—I can say this for it was a help to me," writes Miss Margaret Burris, 802 E.

When I went to college I weighed 95 pounds, so I decided to try Cardui, and when the school year was up, I weighed 130 pounds.

Poor Schools There were, however, 1,362,000 migrants who left the cities for farms, making the total loss of farm population 598,000 for that year. An inquiry at the Bureau of Economics of the Department fails to elicit much information as to the actual loss in colored farm population; but the tendency to leave Southern fields is aggravated in so far as the Negro is concerned by the lack of adequate school facilities for the colored youth, and the lack of protection to the farmer's life and property under certain conditions. The large farm birthrate of twenty-three births per 1,000 persons and small death rate of eight deaths per 1,000 persons has been a large factor offsetting the farm to city movement, so that the net loss of farm population last year was 188,000 persons, compared with 193,000 in 1927 and with 649,000 in 1926.

(ANP) — The 89 "striking" waiters at the Traymore Hotel have been replaced by colored help. Since the Traymore was opened, only the American dining room employed colored help. while the European dining room and room service were supplied with white waiters. Most of the strikers had been employed at the hotel for from seven to ten years. The trouble arose when the Traymore management refused to sign the new wage scale calling for increase of from $40 a month. to $65. In sympathy with the waiters, the laundry help struck and up to this time some departments were still vacant but will be filled as soon as possible.

I am, not the only white woman with a dark lover, but only one of several who openly proclaim it. Inter-racial Sex "A great deal of inter-racial sex experience goes on, but most of it is subrosa, and I have become convinced that the painfully self-conscious Anglo-Saxons are only too anxious to find this way of escape from themselves and their arid civilization. Since they have so meagre an emotional approach to life, they envy his own life after all. the dark man his. For, in spite of the terrible social and economic pressure brought to bear upon him, he manages to elude us and live his own life after all. "You may think that by ignoring and despising him, you have made him of no account. But you have only liberated him to go about his own business, which is hardly imitating you." Respectability "In denying yourself all human and social contacts with dark folk, you willfully close the door on a world that you badly need, to leaven your dull lump of respectability. "And why all this hysteria about the dark man, anyhow? "Shall I tell you the cause of most of it?

Amalgamation? Kelly Miller Says No, Prof. Reuter, Yes Howard "U" Dean and Iowa "U" White Professor Disagree as to Final Outcome of Race Mixing. Capital Smiles as Teachers and Actors Flirt Howard Theatre Actor Tells Newspapermen of His Ofay Wife in Harlem. By F. R. M. HURBAY In two or three recent articles by Professor Kelly Miller he has discussed racial amalgamation in the United States. His "conclusion," as he states it in the AFRO of March 9, is that, "from analysis of the forces and influences now at work, amalgamation could not be consummated within any time which we can predict or previate." He does, however, .edge a little by stating: "In the final outcome of things, the physical and social fusion of all peoples occupying the same territory seems to be an inescapable necessity of thought." Five Reasons Professor Miller gives five "reasons" for his conclusion. These may be briefly stated. as follows: 1. "The white race has the will to keep itself pure." 2. "Twenty-nine states have enacted anti-miscegenation laws." 3. "The present degree of amalgamation has been effected through ilegitimacy which has greatly diminished." 4. (His fourth "reason" is a mere prediction of what "will" occur hence need not be stated.) 5. (In full) "Intra-racial amalgamation is rapidly diffusing white blood already injected into the race through the entire mass. The two great racial groups will become more distinctified as this process becomes more complete." Mere Prediction It will be noted that the last sentence is merely a prediction; also, that his second "reason" is only a resultant of his first; and that his first does not jibe with his third, unless we are to assume that the "will to keep pure" is a recent and growing trait. WASHINGTON, D.C. — Shelton Brooks, master of ceremonies at the Howard Theatre and a composer, may write a parody entitled "Got a School Teacher Crazy for Me, She's Funny that Way." It will be dedicated to himself, Charles Ray and Putney Dandridge, principals of the Howard Theatre stage show. Inspiration for the writing is coming from a small coterie of socially prominent teachers, married and single, who are having a good time with these actors. Flirting with these actors is the talk of the town. Folks who ordinarily move in the same social set with the teachers are gossiping about it. Other teachers are denouncing it. The sporting fraternity are making wise cracks about it. Club Bohemia Current reports have it that a few teachers have run the whole range of parties from tete-a-tetes to strip poker affairs. There have been midnight show parties at the Howard Theatre. There have been cabaret parties at the Club Bohemia. There have been breakfast parties. There have been stribo poker parties, at one of which a teacher almost nude is said to have done a "Snake Hips" dance on top of a table. The White Wife Brooks, Ray and Dandridge are getting a new thrill out of it. With the forming of new associations, old ones were cast aside. Actresses and chorus girls are declasse. "We don't have nuthin' to do with 'em." says Dandridge, who boasted to newspaper men of an ofay wife ministering to his every want, and kept out of Harlem by him except when going to and from their home. But if the actors are enjoying it, there are others who are not. Domestic differences and the breaking of old friendships have resulted. Two Rendezvous There are two principal rendavous for the meeting of teachers and actors. One is an apartment. The other is a private home. But one or two teachers are so hold as to drive up to the Howard Theatre get out of a taxicab, enter through the stage door and visit in a dressing room. Publication of a report of a fight between Ray and Dandridge in newspapers last week gave test to gossip about the firtations. Some teachers, however, became indignant, because Brooks, Ray and Dandridge were referred to as stage idols of teachers. They thought that it should have been made plain, that only a few teachers were idolizing these actors. The patrons of the Howard Theatre have become critical of the weekly stage presentations. The work of the chorus is still pleasing as is also that of Galli De Gaston, the come- Indeed, if such a will had existed in the past, in the white race as a whole, the facts on which he bases his second and third reasons would not exist. Prof. Reuter Differs Professor E. B. Reuter (white), of the University of Iowa, has a different opinion. In an article in the Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Sciences for November 1928, after discussing several factors tending toward amalgamation (the cities none tending the other way), he says (page 42): Erase the Line "There is thus in process a movement tending to modify the Negro type in the direction of the white and the white in the direction of the negroid. . . . A continuation of the present population movements will erase the line separating the white group from the mixtures. Every blurring of the line will increase contact on the racial borders and further the racial blending. "The mulattoes will presently displace the Negroes; and, ultimately, the mulattoes, because of further bleaching and because of continued contamination of the lower orders of the whites, will merge with the general white populati." In short, instead of a tendency toward distinctification, as Professor Miller predicts, Professor Reuter thinks that the "colored" people, by continued mixing among themselves and by 7 "continued contamination" of (by) the whites, will all "presently" become mulattoes, and these will "ultimately" (that is, within a predictable time) mix with the remaining whites, or—if you choose to so state it—the two groups will blend. as Teachers ors Flirt Newspapermen of His Ofay Harlem. dian.

LETTER SENT HUESTON Attorney Had Declared That Books Are Open to All. CHICAGO.—Taking advantage of the public statement of Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson, and W. C. Hueston, Commissioner of Education, that the books of the order of Ellis are open to all, Sheridan Brusseaux, head of a local detective agency, made public the following open letter Tuesday: It is addressed to Mr. Hueston and declares that the detective's anonymous clients, who have ordered a probe of the order's finances, are willing to defray the cost of an audit. The open letter reads: "Your answer to my report as carried in various newspapers during the week of March 13, states that your client, the grand exalted ruler of the I.B.P.O.E. of W., desires to make the book public to those who might be interested in the affairs of the Grand Lodge of Elks. "You stated in your answer that if some way is devised for the payment of auditors, you will gladly cooperate with those who questioned the financial affairs of the Grand Lodge. "In vie wof this statement, I take it that you admit your funds are INADEQUATE to pay for an accounting for which your constitution and bylaws provide. "If this is true, my clients request me to advise you they will be glad to have the privilege to employ any certified public accountant that you or the grand exalted ruler may name as long as he is in Chicago, where your books are kept. We will accept his report as final, provided this is done immediately hoping this will done immediately. Hoping this will meet with your approval, I am sincerely SHERIDAN A.

Sedition Law Mr. Wilson had enacted, the investigator pointed out, what is known as "the sedition law." Under it any member who communicates anything in writing to a lodge or gives information to the public press that tends to create opposition to his administration is deemed guilty of sedition. The penalty is suspension or expulsion from the order. Has to Use Press He declared that the results of the investigation could not be communicated to the lodges, except thru the press. No member would dare transmit to a bodge a communication setting forth the facts of the investigation, he said. If any member had the temerity to do so, Mr Bruseaux chacrges, he would be expelled from the order. GLOOM SURROUNDS H. U. TRACK MEN GLOOM SURROUNDS H. U. TRACK MEN No Equipment and No Coach, Lettermen Tell An AfroAmerican Reporter. Dash Men Have Not Started Work Yet. WASHINGTON, D.C. - Howard University track squad seems to be in for another of its rather usual annual drublings in intercollegiate track athletics, as a result of the strike staged by veterans of the team. Lettermen of the squad declare there is no particular stable coach attached to the team, and also assert that the head coach is not interested in track, for on more than two occasions, he was seen playing tennis or swimming during practice sessions. It is also rumored around the campus by the students that the coach is merely a nominal entity for he offered his services free, in an attempt to save the athletic association some money, despite his heavy schedule as physical director. Tracksters Want Dr. West Students say they prefer an experienced track coach, preferably a former cinder jogger who understands students' problems and is willing to cc-operate with them so as to produce a dependable team. Dr. Charles West was suggested as their best choice. Up till the present, according to Captain Lois Williams, the dash men with himself, have not started training. Asked why, he replied that the whole squad was as yet unequipped and only those who have private uniforms can train. The conditions that exist now make the outlook for a formidable blue and white track team gloomy. SKANKS IS INSANE; WILL NOT HANG CHICAGO (ANB) — David Shanks, convicted slayer of Meta Constance, white, school teacher of Peoria, Ill., was adjudged insane by a jury here this week and sent to the state hospital for the insane, for the third time thwarting the gallows of its prey.

"The paper is the ideal eastern publication," they say, "it is the right size for reading on crowded street cars. L's' and subways." The report of former grand treasurer, James T. Carter, at the grand lodge session held in Chicago last August, was recalled. It showed that the cash balance reported at that grand lodge session was only $34,122.54. The cash balance at the close of the New York grand lodge session in 1927 after the sum of $16,076 was paid out for the expenses of the convention was $56,190. At the close of the grand lodge session in Cleveland in 1926 the cash balance was $70,730. The disbursements for the grand lodge year from August 15, 1927, to August 15, 1928, totaled $64,613.45, a record sum. Incidentally Mr. Bruseaux directed attention to the recent appointment by the grand exalted ruler of Charles A. Marshall, a chiropractor of Washington, D. C.; as a grand auditor to succeed Floyd C. Payne, who has been expelled from Morning Star lodge. Mr. Marshall is some kind of personal employee as well of Mr. Wilson. Not Inefficient Mr. Wilson is not inefficient, said Mr. Bruseaux but finds it necessary to dissipate grand lodge funds, remove competent officers, and replace them with inexperienced men and run the business of the order in a loose manner in order to maintain a political organization within a fraternal order for his perpetuation in office.

While at work at the bottom of a well forty-one feet deep, Haden was overcome by gas. Stating he feared Haden had been affected by fumes from exploded dynamite, Crockett was lowered on a windlass rope and tied the rope around Haden's chest. Haden was drawn out of the well. The rope was lowered to Crockett, but Crockett was so affected by gas that he could not handle the rope. Many men reached the well, but none would enter to aid Crockett. Finally Crockett's stepson, securely roped, was lowered; and he tied the windlass rope to Crockett. He held to the rope as Crockett was being drawn up and reached the top of the well; but Crockett slipped from the rope and fell to the bottom, his neck being broken. Half an hour later the body was removed from the well. Haden was unconscious when taken from the well but was revived. Colored Wife, White Relatives Battle for Man's Million Mrs. Banks Tells Chicago Court of 43-Year Interrace Forbidden Love Until Wedding in 1927. CHICAGO (ANP) — As the climax to the preliminary kirmish between the relatives of James Banks, wealthy white lawyer of Atlanta, Ga., who are seeking to seize his fortune, and Mrs. Banks, who is colored, a jury in the probate court of Judge Henry Horner decided Wednesday morning that a conservator should be appointed to handle the estate of the rich Georgian. Banks' wife, the former Miss Dolly Gardner of Atlanta, Ga., is described in the complaint of Banks' relatives, the chief ow whom is his sister, Mrs. Fannie Calloway, as his secretary. But Mrs. Banks demurs when given that title and asserts that for the better part of forty-three years she has been a real wife to Mr. Banks, admitting "only down in Georgia, you know, we couldn't marry." Love for 43 Years But she contends that there has been real love present all the while, ever since that moonlight night more than forty-three years ago when he came from Atlanta, Ga., to Griffin, Ga., after her and the two of them talked it over in a tyrst arranged on the campus of the boys' college there. Further, Mrs. Banks states that Mrs. Banks' white relatives all knew of the position she held in regard to him, acknowledged it, and submitted to it until two years ago when they decided to come north and effect a legal union. Married Two Years Ago They were married in July, 1927, in Chicago. With their marriage, whatever hopes Mr. Banks' white relatives might have had of succeeding to his fortune went agilimmering and the court action which resulted in the appointment of a conservator was their first step in a battle to get control of the Banks' estate. Banks is seventy-nine years old and was graduated from Yale University on the same day that his wife was born in Griffin, Ga., fifty-eight years ago. Most of his father's wealth, made out of the Civil War, was bequeathed to him, and he added to that until his holdings were reliably reported to be in excess of one million dollars. More than half of his estate is said to have been given to his wife.

White Relatives Man's Million Court of 43-Year Interrace For- Wedding in 1927. explained that the reason for doing this was that Mr. Banks is physically incapable of taking care of his interests in the south and that his wife, a colored woman, would encounter too many obstacles if she sought to go south to manage his affairs. Thus it was thought that a reputable legal agency could do better. But the appointment of the conservator does not end the battle. Mr. Banks' relatives have intimated their intention of going to court to have the marriage annulled on the grounds that the aged man did not know what he was doing. Mr. Hayes does not believe that they will have a leg to stand upon when this action comes and is prepared for the suit whenever it shall come up. Constipation Often Causes Sickness "About fifty years ago," says Mr. Lewis G. O'Shields, of Portersville, Ala., "my mother gave me the first dose of Black-Draught, and I have taken it ever since, when I needed a medicine for constipation. I have used this remedy all my married life, in raising my children. "I have used Black-Draught frequently for heartburn, as I have had spells of this kind, off and on, for years. This follows indigestion, and indigestion comes close on constipation. "I have found that the best way to head off trouble is to begin taking Black-Draught in time. It relieves me of dizziness, tightness in the chest and backache. "By getting rid of impurities, Black-Draught helps to keep the system in good order. I always keep it in the home, and have recommended it to many people, in my time. I always say a good word for a good medicine." Sold by all druggists.

INSTEAD of exercise Millions of busy men and women are learning the secret of the exerciser in the vest-pocket box for a dime! Cascarets give your bowels as much real exercise as they get from an hour with the boxing gloves! Oils, salts and ordinary laxatives don't act like Cascarets. These things produce only mechanical or chemical action. They weaken your bowels. Every time you use Cascarets your bowels become stronger. They are made from Cascara Sagrada which stimulates the peristaltic action and exercises the bowel muscles. Nothing else does this! That's why Cascarets are selling at the rate of 20 million boxes a year and people everywhere depend on them to relieve headaches biliousnss dizziness, bloating, indigestion, constipation, etc. CASCARETS STRENGTHEN THE BOWELS HANDY HINGED-TOP TIN BOXES 10 THEY WORK WHILE YOU SLEEP THEY WORK WHILE YOU SLEEP HANDY HINGED-TOP TIN BOXES WANTED!

Do you know that thousands of people burn Incense just to "change their luck"? And claim to get results, tool. This practice dates back to Biblical days, when burning Incense was believed to have miraculous power for the good. Then the priests, wise men and all hurried Incense with similar faith. The amazing new Incense known as "Lucky Stars" contains certain things which were used in chude form thousands of years ago. But now it is pressed into odd-shaped Stars, and each one branded with the words "Lucky Star." The odor is wonderful, and they are very useful.

A, 632 Sixth Street Cincinnati, Ohio More Amendments Than 18th Tinkham Ask's Hoover How About 14th Amendment? Massachusetts Congressman Tells President that Elections are Illegal in Dixie. Tillman Asked Tinkham Whether He Has Colored Blood. WASHINGTON (Special) —George Holden Tinkham (Rep., Mass.), is at it again. In a letter to President Hoover, he demanded investigation of the enforcement of the Fourteenth as well as the Fifteenth Amendment by the President's crime commission. Congressman Tinkham is the author of several resolutions in Congress to probe Southern disfranchisement of the Negro and reduce Dixie representation in Congress. "Po" Little Orphan Worked His Way Through 3 Colleges WASHINGTON, D.C. — Fatherless and motherless since he was fourteen hasn't deterred or discouraged Ralph Bunche, instructor of political science at Howard University, who has just been granted a Goodwin Memo- Just a year ago, March 10, he made Rep. Tillman (Dem. Ark.), so mad on the floor of the House that Tillman asked Tinkham whether he is white or colored. Mr. Tinkham ignored the question. Ten Drops of Colored Blood Rep. Green (Dem. Fla.) also was so peeved at Mr. Tinkham that he said Tinkham's methods would lead to every Southerner having ten drops of colored blood in his veins 500 years hence. The Letter In a letter to the President, Tinkham charged that the two amendments making Negroes citizens and giving them the right to vote are disregarded in several Southern States. Illegal Elections "No laws have been passed to enforce these amendments," the letter said. "They are now wholly, and grossly nullified in many States. Negroes are counted in the population for purposes of representation in the lower House of Congress and then disfranchised, giving those States disproportionate representation, unfair to the other States of the Union, and thereby making elections to the House of Representatives and of the President illegal and unconstitutional. "Permit me also to draw your attention to the great distinction in the adoption of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments and the Eighteenth amendment." Civil War "The Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments were placed in the Constitution as the result of a great civil war, were in conformity with the principles of the Constitution and its proper functions, and added a greater total of freedom and liberty than existed before their adoption. "The Eighteenth amendment was placed in the Constitution under a subterfuge as a war measure and by the expenditure of a vast amount of money. It is not in conformity with the principles of the Constitution and its proper functions." BLAME SUPREME COURT NOT MR. HOOVER CHARLESTON, SC.—Thomas L. Miller, ex-congressman from South Carolina, commenting upon the Tinkham letter to Mr. Hoover, wrote the AFRO-AMERICAN as follows: "If the Negro ever secures the right to vote in the old slave states, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, etc., the right to vote will come only by and through the legislation of the states themselves, and never by the assistance of the President of the United States, nor by Congress "Every Negro in the nation should know that the Supreme Court has killed the 14th and 15th Amendments as far as they relate to the rights of Negroes in the South by deciding that the right to vote comes to a citizen from his state and the state can pass any separate legislation which does not abridge the citizen's right to vote on account of his race, color or previous condition. "It is time we cease to deceive ourselves that northern Republican politicians can ever fulfill their promises of securing civil and political rights for the Negro in the South "Every Negro ought to know that the decisions of the Supreme Court have left us no national protection in the ballot box, no national protection of our civil rights anywhere where the American eagle spreads its wings or where the so-called flag of the free, for the protection of human rights, unfurls itself to the breeze."

APRIL 13. 1929 "Po" Little Orphan Worked His Way Through 3 Colleges WASHINGTON, D.C. — Fatherless and motherless since he was fourteen hasn't deterred or discouraged Ralph Bunche, instructor of political science at Howard University, who has just been granted a Goodwin Memorial fellowship at Harvard for graduate work in government.

C.—Two sensational charges are contained in the bill of complaint of Mrs. Josephine Nelson, 342 McLean avenue, southwest, who filed suit Friday for an absolute divorce from Daniel N. Nelson. Mrs. Nelson states that she discovered her husband in the act of misconducting himself in their home with Drucey Longside on March 8, 1919. She left him and has not since lived with him, she says. Drucey Longside has since died. On March 1, last, she learned that her husband was living with Miss Fannie Jones at 608 P street, northwest. She went to the P street address, Mrs. Nelson states, and inquired for Mrs. Nelson. Miss Jones came to the door, she says, and informed her that she was Mrs. Nelson. She gave her information to the district attorney's office and a warrant was issued for the arrest of her husband. On March 24 he and Miss Jones were arrested and charged with statutory offenses. Nelson was fined $25 in police court March, 28. Miss Jones forfeited collateral of $25. The couple were married November 25, 1927. They separated March 8, 1919. Joseph D. Kelly represents Mrs. Nelson.

T. (colored people's time) referring to those who are habitually late. Tardiness and slow starting are common to other groups, too, if fourteen Junior Leagues and Parents Leagues of New York are to be believed. They sent out the following questionnaire last week to 3,000 persons: Are you in favor of having dinners on time? Will you arrive punctually at the hour set? Will you get to dances on time? If you accept a dinner invitation will you really attend? Junior Leagues are tired of eating meals grown cold by waiting for a slow guest. They say: "Being late came into fashion but it's getting so that everybody comes later and later. As things are now you're invited to an 8 o'clock dinner and sometimes it's 10 o'clock before you sit down. Then there is a pause before you go to dance. It's why the young business men don't come to deb parties. They want to and we want them, but they can't come because they have to get up for work the next day." Read that last paragraph twice and you'll realize that no race has a corner on punctuality and promptitude. In fact "C. P. T." will have to be placed in the limbo with other misinformation as to the Negro's characteristics such as his "exclusive" appetite for chicken, watermelon and craps. Why Mr. Froe? Senator Arthur Capper has just handed President Hoover a petition signed by 60 Congressmen, asking the appointment of Mr. Martin R. Powell, of Kansas, now assistant librarian of the House, to the position of Recorder of Deeds in the District of Columbia. The position is held at present by Mr. Arthur G. Froe, of West Virginia. The Afro-American recently pointed out that there are but 93 colored presidential appointees and 49 of these are in foreign fields. No new positions have been created for colored persons since 1909, but important posts such as the Register of the Treasury, Minister to Haiti and Auditor for the Navy Department have been transferred to white appointees. If Mr. Froe is unacceptable to the new administration or is inefficient, there is some logic in Mr. Powell's activity. On the other hand, are there not available appointive positions which Mr. Powell and his friends may seek without ousting any of the few Negroes at present in federal offices? Why doesn't Mr. Powell apply for a post in which he may find new ways of helping his people? Why does he seek to crush a fellow Negro office holder in order to advance himself? Why pick on Mr. Free? Allison Out Again Mr. Allison Davis, instructor of English at Hampton Institute, who won notoriously last year by referring to presidents of land grant colleges as "ignoramuses or clever politicians," is at it again. Writing in the current issue of the Hampton Alumni Journal, he says: "In just this critical decade, when Negroes in large numbers are finding places in the industries of the North and South, there are actually many times fewer skilled Negro workmen than there were in slavery, or at the time when Hampton and Tuskegee were founded. Then Negroes did all the skilled labor of the South; now we have more college professors, I should be willing to wager, or even newspaper editors and reporters, than we have first class bricklayers." If the situation is as Mr. Davis states, it is sad indeed. Yet as we consider the U. S. Census reports on occupations of Negroes, we wonder whether that document has ever fallen into Mr. Davis' hands. Here is what the 1920 U. S. Census report declares: "Colored stone- and brick-masons, 10,608; colored editors and reportez, 251; colored college presidents, and professors, 1,063." According to Uncle Sam, Mr. Davis would lose his bet. The U. S. Census of 1865 reported 100,000 THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 1929 colored mechanics. Today there are 885,000 Negroes working in the manufacturing and mechanical industries alone, 311,000 in transportation, 140,000 in trade and 50,000 in public service. There are fewer bricklayers today than in 1910, when the U. S. Census listed 23,650, but this is because these skilled bricklayers have found better jobs in factory, mine and mill. Instead of worrying about the decline of bricklayers, why not rejoice over the fact that colored carpenters, painters, plasterers, plumbers, and even undertakers have increased in numbers 50 to 100 per cent in the past twenty years. Jewish Estimate Of William Pickens (Editorial in St. Louis, Mo., YM.H.A. Journal) It is true that most of us think of the Negroes as our criminals and as our slaves. It offends our race pride, when it does not amuse us, to recognize any of them as scholars and gentlemen. And yet, there were a number of such Negroes who attended the Liberal Forum the other evening to hear William Pickens. Somehow, one cannot call Pickens a scholar and a gentleman because he is much more. Yes, he is a Negro, a black and a noisy Negro, if you will, but he cannot be explained by the general chemics of biology and heredity. There is something in that man, as there is in the sea and the jungle, of the power and nakedness of the Creator. In that man are also moods of tragedy and great joy. He has taken heavy punishment—for living at all,—but he has learned to lift his broad head and laugh in the face of the world, both black and white. He has learned to say the most insulting and impartial truths with a laugh that dares the god in us to hear him or to strike him. Some call him a minstrel show. That points out the blind spot in the critic who fails to see the real Pickens. His irony and his laughter may keep him sane, they also serve to keep us tolerant. He knows that, and so, he dares to laugh. There is nothing sentimental about this man; nothing bitter. He is as sane and honest as anyone who has attempted to champion the cause of his people. Therein lies his charm. We are tired of hearing "slave" talk, with its delicate evasions and unmentionable facts. Pickens cared neither to praise nor to insult. Queerly enough, he was anxious to tell the truth about man and race. By a natural sincerity he stimulated and won an audience. DOING OUR BEST One drop will not fill a bucket. One ray will not make a sunbeam. But each one in its own small way Can do much more than it may seem. Then why should we be discouraged When we're working the best we can?

A Word About Furnished Apartments. To the Editor: I would like to say a few words about the way the whites are taking advantage of our group in renting them so-called furnished apartments, es- specially on Madison avenue. They get a big house, and take a large room, put up partitions to make two rooms and a kitchenette, put in second hand furniture, a second hand gas range, and charge $8.50 and $10 per week. We can buy houses on easy terms and furnish them for our own people. Achievement I regard the April 6 edition of the AFRO-AMERICAN as an outstanding racial achievement. Wm. H. FERRIS, Louisville, Ky.

The old bulky newspaper is fast going out of date and the tabloid is taking its place. N. Y. City. There is at present a great "howl" about lack of co-operation in the enforcement of the 18th amendment. There is in our Bible a verse which reads in part: Be ye not deceived, God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Too long, those in power have allowed certain citizens to "pick as it were their own laws" ignoring certain laws that did not suit their fancy. And so for years, and years, the 14th and 15th amendments have been utterly disregarded and VERY little effort put forth toward punishing the guilty parties. Then along came the 18th amendment, and a great wall goes up because it is disregarded. There can be no rigid enforcement of a particular amendment, without general respect for ALL laws and amendments. Teach the people to respect the 14th and 15th, and observing the 18th will follow as a natural consequence. Clifton Forge. Va. STELLA H. DAVIS. "I Wish I Were in the Land of Cotton" Dallas, Texas Correspondent in N. Y. Daily Worker. Although I happen to be an American-born white worker, I must confess that American liberty and the constitution are not worth a damn to the white workers, and much less to a Negro. In the South here the Negro can't vote, can't go to school, is a chattel slave and woe to him if he persists in going to school. In Louisiana, I asked a slavedriver how much he paid his Negro help. He laughed and said: "Pay our Negroes! You all would sure be surprised how we do pay them." "Well," he said when I asked him to tell me more. "We all hire our Negroes to work a patch of cane and he comes to the commissary for his supplies for his family." "We give him what he wants, eatables and clothes, charge him like hell, and he goes into debt when crop time comes, and he can't pay. Then we all own that Negro—he can't move." I suggested a man can't be jailed for a debt. He said, "A Negro ain't a man. We would lynch him if he objected." Then I noticed a Negro girl going to school. I asked him what happens if a Negro becomes educated and learns something of his rights and objects to what happens to him, "Well." the white man said, "we have cases where the youngsters learn, and we get rid of that kind, believe me, even if they own money. Because that damp fool Negro would spoil the rest. How Much Do You Put in Church? (From Time) "Any U.S. churchgoer who put 10c into the collection plate each and every Sunday of last year may warm his piety at the comforting thought that he was twice as generous as the average churchgoer. Authority for the fact that 5c is the average contribution, is the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, which published figures last week. "The most generous State: New Jersey, 12.2c per churchgoer per Sunday, Virginia, the Carolinas, Washington and eleven other States averaged less than 5c." Tom Jefferson and Jeff Davis First Speech in part of Congressman John E. Rankin (Dem. Miss.) against bill to appropriate $50,000 towards a national Negro memorial building. As I said in the beginning, I am not willing to expend the Government's money to build a memorial here to commemorate the achievements of the Negro race; nor am I in favor of spending money in this way on any other races so long as the American Congress refuses to erect a monument in the National Capital to the memory of Thomas Jefferson, the father of the Declaration of Independence. I know that it is useless to oppose this measure, but I. for one, want to go on record in opposition to it. (EDITOR'S NOTE: The bill passed by an overwhelming majority.) No Color Line (From the M.E. Adult Bible Class Morphly) By JOHN R. SCOTFORD "The Moorish ancestry of the Brazilian shows in his attitude toward race. Brazil is a land where white shades off into black by imperceptible gradations, and where the man who tried to draw a color line in the North American sense would soon go crazy. "This situation arose from two causes. The Portuguese, being already tinctured with dark blood, have ever been tolerant of other races. In South America circumstances placed the Portuguese man and the Negro woman near each other. In the absence of any restraints mixture inevitably resulted. "Until the Nordic called his attention to this situation, the Brazilian thought nothing of it." Black Fists—White Fists By J. C.

THE BOY WITH THE SMILE By ANNA SPENCE Stevensville, Md. If things go wrong, he doesn't complain, Just tries to see the jokes; He's always finding little ways Of helping other folks. He sees the good in every one, Their faults he never mentions. He has a lot of confidence, In people's good intentions. No matter if the sky is gray, You get his point of view; The clouds begin to settle, And the sun comes breaking thru. You know him if you meet him, And you find it worth your while To cultivate the friendship, Of the boy behind the smile. War Vet Tried Others, but He Likes Tuskegee Hospital Best. To the Editor: For a number of years I have been in several government hospitals, having been affected by a stomach complaint. Heretofore the doctors and nurses who waited upon me have been white people, but no appreciable improvement was made, and I asked to be sent to Hospital No. 91, at Tuskegee, Ala. The doctors at this hospital diagnosed my complaint as chronic appendicitis, and said an operation would be necessary. Dr. W. F. Penn, assisted by Dr. P. J. Carter, performed the operation.

BERRY, THE KINDRED SPIRIT I know what it means to sorrow, my sister— I know how life can be; I have lain and vept while others slept, And there were none to see. I know what it means to grope in the dark And pray for one guiding gleam; I've stood stripped bare, I've withered in despair, I have wept at the bier of a dream. I know what it means to be burdened, my brother, To be hitched like an ox to life's plow; Driven hither, thither, with ne'er a say whither, As the wind bloweth a bough. I have tasted life both bitter and sweet; I've suffered each new pain through. I've known heart break-maddening sou' ache, And I've sympathy for you.

ONT GEO STORE CON ne re ee a __ One can hardly believe that responsible: leaders of the Repub- lican. party are so contemptuous of the supreme authority. of jus- tice and of the sanctity of the federal. courts as-to compromise botn. in a purely political deal. Tf it be true that the suggestion has been made to Perry Howard, Mississippi Negro charged: with the sale of federal offices, that the prosecution: against him would be ended if he should withdraw as Republican national committee- man and palronsee referee so as. ta allow a white man to be: named in place, then does a. much: graver offense lie- against “the leaders responsible for the suggestion than anything now charged against Howard or his lieutenants. _ . In the first place, Howard is either guilty: or not guilty of a serious offense against all the people of the United States. and not against any political party or. set of leaders. So. these leaders have no more right than any other citizen to decide the matter. If Howard be guilty, his guilt must be determined’ in the. legal manner that all other criminal cases are decided and his pun- ishment must be. fair, just and sufficient.. But. if he: be not, guilty, his innocence must be proclaimed in the lawful. and usual fnanner and he must. be relieved of any injury or embarrassment the charges have caused him; The’ rights. of the people no less than the rights of: the defendant demand that the issue be settled in a legal manner outside of. all pollties. Any suggestion that the case be: withdrawn as part.of a. purely. political deal is much worse than a contemptuous: trifling with the dignity of the federal bench. It. is: an: attempt to posure the judiciary to the basest political usage. If it should estab- lished that courts could’ be so used, then their” value would be wholly taken away. They would. become an evil rather than: a good in that they would be the compounders of crime and not the: eliminating agents. . . . . 7 Outside. of the manifest viciousness contained in the suggestion: is the matter of the ingratitude of a great political party towards those who have rendered it unvarying and unyielding service: For more than. sixty years the Negroes’ of the. south as well as of other sections of the country have hewn the wood and drawn the water for the Republican party. In some. of the doubtful: states of the middie west they have been the balance of power or margin: of superior strength in Republican electoral victories, .and. in the south. their votes have turned the. tide in Republican conventions.. ‘Fo: these many, varied ‘and: always loyal services. to Republi-- canism all that the Negroes have received are some. jobs as. mail carriers, or as minor officials: in. their own towns or in ‘Washington. They’ are: surely deserving of. all: they have received from the Re- publican party: and much; more. 7 . ‘Im the south the. Republicam party is rightly the: Negro party Because the: colored brothers: constitute 90. per-cent or more: of it. ‘And: they have held this predominance during almost the whole: life of that party. So it ‘would be not only ingratitude but also cruel injustice to make the 90 per: cent or more in the south submit. to the 10 per cent or less. _ . In the other sections of the: country the. Negro’ populations: are: also. predominantly Republican. So the Republican party cannot.be the party: of the black man in those sections where: Negro- Support does not hurt and the party of the white: man in: sections where that. support. is noe Ié-cannot change its color by geographi- cal lines: to suit. the. exigencies of its political purposes. For what his race has done-in behalf of Republicanism Perry , Howard: or. some other of his: people deserve more’ than the nevwly- constituted: leaders whose skins are of a: different hue: He: surely’ deserves to be fairly and fully, heard on the charges made’ against. him, and to be punished or relieved of all embarrassments-accord= ing. as:a fair jury and: an unbiased court decree, Any sugggestion’ to the. contrary is both vicious-and infamous. /_ The South needs this upheaval.

M. E. ministers, - following’ denunciation of the praetice by Dr. D. W. Hayes, in an address before the meeting, Monday. , “When a white person enters our ‘place of worship,” Dr. Hayes. said, “perhaps, an entire stranger to mem- bers of the congregation, he: is ush- ered forward to a‘ front seat and ob- sequiously eyed as though he carried in the color of his skin, the tre badge. of nobility.” Displeasing to God _ “Such menial. conduct ‘on our part is, no doubt, displeasing to:God, and condemned by men: of. true educa- ition and refinement.

Strengthens Prejudice “For it is certain that just in pro- portion as. we countenance the mak- ine a show of paying to white per- sons, such respect, beyond that which ‘true politeness and common sense re- quire, we adopt the most effective means of strengthening. the- prejudice which seizes every opportunity to withhold from us the privileges and courtesies to which we are justly en- titled. Equal Treatment . “Our preachers and laymen, in their eagerness to manifest good will toward whites whose confidence and ‘friendly aid. they wish to. share, must ‘not overlook the fact that they them- selves: are men, and therefore, de- serve equally courteous treatment at their hands.

K. M. SAYS By KELLY MILLER | % Radical | Amendments, the hepub- lican party would take care of itself. Mr, Hoover is President of the American people and _ head of. the Republican party. As President of the nation his sworn duty is to en- force the Constitution in its integ- rity and in all of its parts and pro- visions. He has heroically declared his purpose to do this. His proposed law enforcement com- jmission challenges the admiration of every true. citizen who- believes in a government of laws. The.purpose of this commission is: to make a sur- vey of the whole field of the ma- chinery of law enforcement and to suggest where the weak points might be strengthened. Immediately upon the announcement of this high pur- pose, I suggested the appointment of a colored member for highly special reasons. Such an assignment would give the Negro. double assurance of the beneficent purpose of the enforce- ment of the law, of whose violation and annulment he is. the chief vic- tim. It would seem highly appro- priate that a Negro should form a part of the body to investigate the breaking down of the machinery of law because he knows precisely where the shce pinches. He can point to the sore spot with the intuitive cer- tainty of inside information. Confusion The selection of a colored man on this commission would go far to re- lieve the confusion which now pos- sesses the Negro’s mind concerning the far-reaching purpose of the President's recently announced Southern policy. On its face, it would seem to en- courage, support and sustain the lily~ white program which is determined to side-track the Negro and. thus de- prive him of his constitutional rights. The elevation of a member of the race to this important station would go-a long way to disabuse the mind of the Negro that Mr. Hoover's {Proposed political reconstruction is not intended to belittle him as a political force, but is based upon far- seeing statesmanship. Law and Order Be this as it may, the proposal of the President is the boldest gesture in the direction of law and order that has come from any President in a generation. It is unfortunate that too many issues arise to give any one of them dominant consid- eration. Before Mr. Hoover has gone very far with his law enforce- ment, some other. issue or issues may spring up and choke out its special Purpose. 43 « I hardly think that prohibition will receive emphatic. and final handling at the hands of the American people juntil it has been made. the domi- inant issue in some. heated political campaign, Abraham Lincoln was elected on one issue only—the limita- tion of’ the slave: power. This en- grossed the chief energy of his ad- ministration, Other issues: were sec- ondary and collateral. It is going to be hard, to the point of impossibility, for Mr. Hoover to. do all of the things which he: now engages to un- dertake. ‘The: special Congress is: called spe- cifically to deal with farm relief and "the protective tariff. Prohibition: was @ suppressed issue in: the last cam- ‘paign. Secretary’ Hughes called it a sham issue, One would hardly ‘lexpect a sham issue. to engage ihe chief attention of the administration. And yet.M r H.overoETAOIN: ETAOI And yet. Mr. Hoover, in the first month. of his-administration, has: pro- jected. a program which calis for drastic’ reform. in half’ a dozen di- rections.

The cautious and judicious will want chiefly to know how he can reconcile his Southern program with the letter and spirit of the Fifteenth Amendment which the: President, in consistency, must be desirous to enforce. It is true that the manipulation of party ma- chinery has. nothing to do with the inherent rights of the franchise. And yet a new political sagacity is required to permit a citizen. to vote and at the same time deprive him of the full prerogative of that. voie. If Mississippi Republicans, playing the game according to the rules set up by the National Committee, se- lect their own leaders, how can the good President, as head of the party ignore such chosen leaders, without violating the rules of the party and the rights of citizenship? 15th Amendment The Negro is more interested in the Fifteenth Amendment than in the fate of any political organiza- tion or its leaders, Is Mr. Hoover's chief object to enforce the Fifteenth ‘Amendment. or to build up a lily-" white party? Or does he hope that through the instrumentality of the lily-white party to lead immediately or ultimately to the enforcement of the Constitution? He cannot endorse the existing lily-white: program which says in effect that although the Ne- gro may be permitted to vote, yet he ‘shall not hold public office nor oc- cupy high stations in the councils of ithe Republican party. One’s place- ment in party councils and in official stations is the necessary econcomi- tant of citizenship and the franchise, and-cannot be abridged, certainly not by those who profess to believe in the first section of the Fourteenth Amendment. Big Task President Hoover has undertaken a stupendous task, to uphold the Constitution and -2 build up a com- petitive: political orgeniee or in the South. To many, it seems that. he has taken hold at the worng end. If he would enforce the Fourteenth ‘and Fifteenth Amendments, the Re- jpublican party would take care of itself. On the other hand, if he succeeds in building up two rival white-men's parties, will the Consti- tution then be observed? This is buy a matter of speculation and ope. LINOTYPE APRIL 13: 8.

Church, preached, saying among other things: "The assembling of these two congregations of different tenets, has created a furor in Baltimore and throughout the state, but there is nothing new under the sun, and why should this be? "Folks are prejudiced towards us because they do not know our motives. Few can differentiate between church revolt and Christian liberty. "It is quite singular that I was converted in a Baptist church when 13 years old, and when I virtually had no place to lay my head, a Baptist minister first offered me succor." As to the future plans of the Independent church, Rev. Miller stated that "at present we will continue our worship here, although other churches have offered us their auditoriums. "We have under consideration three church sites, and announcement will be made shortly as to our permanent location." Seventeen persons offered themselves for membership in the new movement. 200 Confirmed CINCINNATI, Ohio — Archbishop John C.

SUIT FAILS TO HALT DOUGLAS TRIAL Verdict Reached by Committee Sent Sealed for Action at Annual Conference. GUILTY, IS BELIEF Failure to Answer and Court Action Added to Charges. A sealed verdict, believed to contain recommendations to withdraw ordination papers from the Rev, Frederick Douglas, pastor of Cosmopolitan A. M. E. Church, will be sent to the next session of the annual conference by the committee appointed by Bishop Gaines to try the prelate Thursday. The fact that two additional charges, not contained in the original document, were added, made many ministers of the denomination conclude that the committee would find the pastor guilty and make definite recommendations to the conference. Added Charges These charges included the failure of the pastor to meet the committee and answer charges and his action in taking the matter into the court. Through his attorney, W. Ashbie Hawkins, the Rev. Mr. Douglas went to the Circuit Court on the eve of the trial and sought an order to show cause why the trial should proceed. The action, however, failed to halt the proceedings. Hearing April 19 A hearing on the order to show cause will be held before Judge Eli Frank Friday, April 19. It was learned this week that, although the court action failed to halt the committee trial, an effort would be made to have a decision rendered by the court which would nullify any action the conference might take. It is declared that attorney for the pastor will contend that the body has no jurisdiction over him. It has been pointed out, however, that the conference is invested with power to withdraw ordination papers from the Cosmopolitn pastor and that it will have the effect of unrocking him of all rights of an ordained minister. C. C. Fitzgerald, attorney, will represent the conference committee at the hearing. CENTENNIAL M. E. CHURCH On Caroline at Banks Street. Rev. CHARLES S.

TWO BISHOPS AT NEW CHURCH DEDICATION TWO BISHOPS AT NEW CHURCH DEDICATION St. John's A. M. E. Church Is Formally Opened by Bishops Gaines and Hurst. Main Auditorium Has 500 Seating Capacity. With Bishops A L. Gaines and John Hurst present, the new $56, 000 St. John Church edifice at Carrollton avenue near Lanvale, was formally dedicated Sunday. The morning sermon was preached by Bishop Gaines and the dedication services proper took place in the afternoon before a crowded congregation and leading prelates of the denomination bringing greetings. $56,000 Structure The church is of mixed stone and brick and besides Sunday School rooms and other departments, it has a main auditorium seating 560. It wass ecured at a purchase price of $56,000. At the close of the services Sunday officers announced that the day's collection had totaled $1,500. With presiding elders C. H. Wesley, J. W.

Many Demand that He Specify Names. Despite the fact that the Rev. J. H. Greene again declared that "the whole Baptist family needs airing out," the cats were still in the bag at the close of a stormy session of the Baptist ministers' meeting Monday. The statement of the Rev. Mr. Greene, which threw the body into turmoil, came after the Rev. A. J. Greene, a member of the committee appointed to consider disciplinary charges against the Metropolitan pastor for baptizing fifty converts of the Holiness Church, declared that there was no way by which the body could constitutionally act. "What we need," he declared, "are laws governing these things." Following his statement, the Rev. J. H. Green made the statement which brought forth the protests. Is Reflection Declaring that, what the pastor said was a reflection on the whole body, the Rev. Arthur J. Payne demanded that he name the men who needed the airing out. His demand was voiced by a chorus of pastors, and it loked for a while that some of the ministers would resort to stronger means of argument. To Take Action Following a motion of the Rev. W. F. Dickerson, an executive session was called to consider the matter next Monday. The Rev. J. H. Greene, who is vice-president of the conference, indicated his readiness for an issue. AMONG THE CHURCHES AMONG THE CHURCHES The Rev. George W. Harvey, of Obelin, Ohio, was the speaker at Union Baptist Church Sunday. Taking as his subject, "The Road to Jericho," the Rev. Harvey emphasized in a modern way the lesson of the good Samaritan and exhorted his hearers to follow the example. ELEVEN BAPTIZED At the morning-service eleven candidates were baptized. Holy Communion was held at the evening service. The Rev. Harvey, who is a graduate of Oberlin College, is scheduled to speak at the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, Washington, Sunday.

JACKSON, Pastor Home Friendly Insurance Company HOW WE ARE GROWING Home Friendly Insurance Co. CHAS. H. TAYLOR, Secretary. B. L. TALLEY, President MORNING GOOD JUDGE Any Old Port in A Volstead Storm. It was "any old port in a storm" for George Jackson, 1610 Riggs avenue, when he had imbibed too freely of bootleg whiskev, but his good ship finally put into port at the Northeastern Police Station. Jackson went far adrift Sunday night and as he was trying to make a key intended for 1610 Riggs avenue, fit a door at the home of Mrs. Hattie Jackson, 1023 Vincent street, this good lady thought he must be a burglar and called in the officers of the law. "But Judge," solemnly put in Mrs. Jackson, after she had told her story, "I hope you won't do anything with him, as I know he must have been under the influence of whiskey." "What," said the magistrate, as he was just about to hand out a stiff fine. "you catch this man trying to get into your house and come up here and plead for him?" "Well, you see, Judge, I am a mother, and he is some mother's son who has been ruined by this poison stuff, and for her sake I don't want anything done with him." "If that is your theory," said the magistrate, "I will let him down with $1 and costs. Didn't Open Can, But Opened Sweetie's Head. If Miss Edna Hall was a little unsuccessful in getting a can of beans opened, she did manage to open a considerable gash in her lover's head, it developed in testimony in the Northwestern Police Station Sunday. Miss Hall had a can of Boston fruit but had no can opener. She suggested that her boy friend, Louis Cobb, 304 Myrtle avenue, go to the store and open it. "Nix" said Louis, "I'm on a rest cure." Then there was some palaver which did not suit well in Snuday School books. When Miss Hall failed to make words impressive, she tried out opening the can on Cobb's head. It did not work with the can but it did with the head, and so Miss Hall said Good morning Judge." Five dollars and costs, decided His Honor, and looking more to the future than the present. Cobb advanced another peg. in the run for forgiveness by paying the fine himself. They left all "skeekie" as the girls would say. The next time George Fossett, 1831 Presstman street, takes a ride, and this may be-many a day after the judge gets through talking, he will know all about the car and the driver. Fossett was caught "holding the bag," so to speak, when officers of the law spied him in a car at the intersection of North Point Road and Wiley avenue Saturday. The driver, who was giving Fossett the ride, semed to know his stuff in time to make his get-a-way and when Fossett realized what it was all about, he was on his way to say good morning judge. Because he could not make a satisfactory explanation he is waiting for the grand jury to act and is under $1000 bail. Charged with being runaways from the farm of Levi Jones, white, Jerry, 16, and Jetty Erby, 17, are being held in the Southern police station waiting the arrival of Calvert County authorities.

C. high school student, became suddenly unbalanced and attempted to jump out of a window at his home, 911 N. Caroline street, Tuesday. He was subdued by police officers and retained at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, pending an examination. Relatives of the youth said he was suffering from a nervous breakdown due to over-study. He was visiting his home for the Easter holiday. CAME FROM HOSPITAL FOUND HUBBY GONE Mrs. Francis Carter Testifies that Mate Left Home While She Was Ill. MARRIED SIX MONTHS Says He Also Took House Furnishings: Testifying that her husband, Francis Carter, deserted her while she was confined in a hospital, Mrs. Ruth E. Carter. 2330 Guilford avenue, was granted a divorce in Circuit Court. Friday. Mrs. Carter, who was represented by Roy S. Bond, attorney, testified that she was married on June 15 1925, in Philadelphia and resided with her husband until December 1, 1925, when she was taken ill and compelled to go to a hospital for treatment. During her confinement her husband deserted her. Took Furniture. While in the hospital he did not visit her once, she also said, and when she was released from the infirmary she went to the address where they had lived and found that he had taken all of the furniture and other belongings. She has not seen him since. The court in granting Mrs. Carter a decree on the grounds of abandonement and desertion, allowed her to resume her maiden name of Ruth E. Bond.

MATTER IS ADJUSTED Chicago Company Subs; Raise Is Granted NEW YORK.—Because Edward Al Blatt, white, the producer of "Harlem," had not given prompt enough attention to their petition for a raise in salary, about 40 members of the local company, playing the Apollo Theatre, walked out on the show just before the big party scene, last Tuesday night. Chester Erskin, who staged the show and who was rehearsing a Chicago company in the Selwyn Theatre next door, received word that all the participants in the mob scene, with the exception of the principals, had gone on a strike. Something had to be done immediately, since the first act was already half over and awaiting the grand climax. Fortunately the Chicago company had already had some training in the scene, and Erskin herded them up the street to the Apollo just in time to prevent an awkward pause in the first act. So the party scene went on, more or less deleted. Durign the next act Erskin and Blatt reasoned with the strikers, and by the time the third act came around the raise had been granted, and the party scene in the third act went on with the original cast. The cast is made up chiefly of non-Equity players, and many of them are appearing on the stage for the first time. TRIO OF RACE ACTS GET DATES ON RKO NEW YORK Three race acts have been given dates on Radio-Keith Orpheum circuit, according to a recent release from that organization.

' s ROYAL ORCHESTRA WINS CHAMPIONSHIP Royal Outfit Given Unofficial Honors on Anniversary Night. DIXON ‘RUNNER UP Glascoe Is Third in Music Contest. Harmony and jazz reigned su- preme. as 21 orchestras vied for championship honors at the fifth annual ball of the local Musi- clans’ Union at the New Albert Auditorium, Tuesday. Harmony, tempo, and all other necessities were there to make the dancers glide, swing and trot to their heart’s delight. There were estimated 174 musicians who com- peted.in the big jamboree while the members of Baltimore’s two brass units were unable to strut their stuff because of the weather. And that Happened this way, The Com- monwealth, under the direction of Conran Charles Harris, and- the Pride of Baltimore, under direction of H. Smallwood, were to play on the outside of the auditorium but the inclement weather prevented them from exhibiting their wares to the 800 persons who paid admission to the hall. Starting at 7 p.m., as scheduled, the first band started to play with about 15 persons in the hall. The press agents’ lurid promises were ful- filled as the bands, each playing nine selections with encores, were a steady stream of men producing a contin- uous harmony of sound. 7 There was Irving Hughes, Ike Dixon, Percy Glascoe, the Blue Jays, the Rhythm Kings, ‘the Universal, the Night Hawks, the’ International, La Savalla, each disseminating their type of music and harmony as only their respective outfits can draw de- sired tones from their instruments. Each orchestra had what could be termed an “individuality” by the key in which they played and how the tunes -affected the dancers swaying. The patrons selected Hughes’ Royal Theatre Orchestra as the leader in the race=for city honors because of his harmony, -while Dixon's Jazz Devils, Glascce’s Plantation Orches- tra pushed him close for his un- official honors.. The Blue Jays were next with a high average, while the Rhythm Kings, . Universal, Oasis, Gayety Inn, International, and Night Hawks were all chosen for honorable mention. When the hours started to pushing way into the morning the manage- ment was compelled to hav. two orchestras play together. The next big feature was. the wampus exhibi- tion given by Ruth Raiff and Joseph Randolph, Baltimore wampus champ- fons, which consisted of many unique steps. Cotton Pickers : - Make Hit at Albert With a unique presentation of th--r original song hit, “Four or Five Times,” McKinney’s Cotton Pickers from the Graystone Ballroom, De- troit, Mich., made their first. appear- ance in Baltimore at the New Albert Auditorium Wednesday evening. They presented two new songs. “stop Kiddin” and “Put It There” but made their biggest hit with the audience of 1200 with “Four cr Five Times.” It is claimec by many that THE CITY OF BALTIMORE Announces a. .

THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 1929 DUNBAR 16 Photoplays Star Theatre "Ships of the Night"; "Naughty"; "Romance of a Rogue" The third episode of "The Vanishing West" will be featured at the Star Theatre, Monday, followed on Tuesday by Jacqueline Logan in "Ships of the Night." Pauline Garon will be seen Wednesday in "Naughty,' a picture that is said to live up to its name. "The Romance of a Rogue," featuring H. B. Warner and Anita Stewart, is the attraction Thursday. In this picture the male star appears as a released British prisoner who comes to London seeking vengeance on the man who has ruined him and on the girl who has gone back on him. Harry Langdon, always amusing, will be seen Friday in "The Chosen," while the bill will close Saturday with the showing of the third chapter of "The Chinatown Mystery," featuring Joe Bonomo. CAREY "Son of the Golden West"; "Mother Kessels's "The Danger Patrol!" "Son of the Golden West"; Mother Machree"; "The Danger Patrol" War whoops, rifle shots, stage coach robberies, et. al., make up some of the thrilling episodes in "Son of the Golden West," which will be shown at the Carey Theatre Monday. In the picture are Tom Mix and Tony, the Wonder Horse. On the Tuesday program is Belle Bennett in "Mother Machree," a poignant tale of the sod of Erin and one who left it with a heavy heart. "The Avenging Rider," featuring Tom Tyler and his Pals, will be shown Wednesday, while Thursday finds "The Danger Patrol," starring William Russell and Virginia Faire, as the featured attraction. "Moran of the Marines," with Richard Dix and Ruth Elder, will be shown Friday, as will the third chapter of "The Mystery Rider." Jack Perrin and Rex, the Wild Horse, will appear Saturday in "The Two Outlaws," a story of a wild horse and stage coach bandits in the old West. STAGE REVIEWS ROYAL "Steamboat Days" Ensemble, duo, and solo dancing, punctuated by a number of mirth provoking scenes, all of which climax in the singing of some indigo numbers by Bessie Smith, make of "Steamboat Days," the Royal Theatre stage attraction, a rather likeable vehicle. Baby Lee, as soubret, fits into her part like a glove and possesses a mellow soprano voice. Beulah Benbow, leading iady, has the chorus following her all the way and is owner of a rather pleasing personality. Darling and Phillips, dancers, stopped the show, with their tap and novelty dancing, the pair being one of the best units to show in this sector for some time. Adding an individualistic touch to the terpsicorcan art was Marian Moore, who in a pair of specialties, demonstrated that she knew her hoofing. And those comedians, Bootsy Swan and Johnny Lee, know their drollery, acting best in the familiar scene "Breaking Out of Jail." Both comedians, presented the rather unusual feature of possessing good singing voices and were heard in two numbers that almost put a halt to the show, Lee having a very pleasing tenor. Jimmy Pope portrayed characters and Lloyd Hollins handled the role of straight man. Bessie Smith proved that she is still a show stopper when she warbled "Empty Bed Blues," after receiving a big hand with "I Must Have That Man." While the words in her second song had the unmistakable double entendre, it must be admitted that the tune was just too torrid. For the more discerning customers a verse or two might well be censored. A well drilled chorus made a big hit with thee customers, their best numbers being a sailor drill, the "Dusky Stevedore" number and a big whonee number danced to the tune of "Show Em How You Do it in Virginia." In this lively group are: Lena Pone, Libby Robinson, Anna Rose Turner, Ellen Chenello, Gee Gee Mann, Thelma Johnson, Julia Hasan, Pearl Swan Sadie Moore and Emmie Scott.

STRUCK WITH BRICK Frank Spence Held for Assault; Police Investigate. Found lying in his home in a coma after being discharged from the South Baltimore General Hospital, William Baker, 29, 123 Winters street, was taken to the Provident Hospital where he died shortly afterward, Sunday. Baker was struck on the head with a brick by Frank Spence, 113 Winters street, while standing talking at the corner of Race and Scott streets. Spence ran up behind him and struck him over the head several times. He was taken to the South Baltimore Hospital where he was treated for lacerations of the scalp and discharged. He was found three hours later unconscious in a chair and returned to the South Baltimore Hospital where the hospital physicians had him transferred to Provident, where he died. Frank Spence was arrested and held without ball for a coroner's investigation. The attack is said to have been caused by a neighborhood quarrel and jealousy over a young woman. Old Baltimorean Dies in Wilmington George A. Fisher, a former resident of East Baltimore, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. William Mabry in Wilmington, Del., Tuesday, at the age of 78. Mr. Fisher, who was born and reared in Baltimore, married Miss Lena Conkline, and for years lived at Lincoln University, Chester County, Pa., from which university he graduated in the class of '85. He remained at Lincoln in the capacity of director of the refectory for the students for twenty years. After the death of Mrs. Fisher, he moved to Wilmington, Del., where for twenty-three years, he was in the employment of the Alexis L. duPont Estate from which he was retired three years ago. Funeral services were held from the home Friday morning conducted by his son, the Rev. C. A. Fisher, of St. Ambrose, Raleigh. N.C., and the Rev. Mr. Henry of St. Matthews, Wilmington.

UNCLE TOM'S CABIN NEXT WEEK Group Practice Is Urged for Doctors 200 Diseases Still Defy Medical Profession Group practice for physicians, a plan by which a number of doctors, each a specialist in his line, have offices together, was recommended by Dr. E. M. Boyle in a paper read before the Medical Association meeting at the home of Dr. J. G. McRae Wednesday. According to Dr. Boyle, of 215 known diseases, the profession is able to cure but 7 or 8. Cancer, tuberculosis, apoplexy and heart ills, he said, still defy medical skill. The death rate is far too high without regard to race, for physicians to fail to show a willingness to cooperate. Following discussion of the paper and a business report a repast was served by the host. Those present were Doctors: T. J. Woolridge, Herndon White, H. M. Watche, J. C. Stewart, H. S. McCard, William Cargil, W. H. Wright and C. Maxwell Hinds, secretary of the association. BOY. 4.

INFIELD SHOWS OFF Washington Only Regular Not Here; to Report Soon Aided by misplays on the part of their opponents, the Baltimore Black Sox, swatting the houseide with sickening regularity, clouted out two victories over the Washington Black Sox, oy the scores of 15-2 and 3-0, to open the season Sunday, at Maryland Park. It was a new team that the locals put in the field, only four members surviving from last season's campaign, namely Dixon, Wilson, Hunbard and Clarke. The highly touted infield of the Baltimore entry in the American League, gave an indication of what it can be expected to do under stiff competition, "Babe Futh" Wilson being switched over from third to first with Marcell guarding the not corner, Lundy in short and Manager Warfield holding down the second suck The Washingtonians proved to be "no trouble" for the local dark-hosed swatsmiths who banged out nineteen hits in the first game and five in the nightcap, a five-inning affair. Leading in the clouting were Lund and Dixon, the former rapping out single and three doubles in the first game, and the latter contributing a double, a triple, and a circuit clout. Clarke also proved a heavy hitter connecting safely four times up. Every man on the team, with the exception of "Pud" Flournoy, was credited with a hit in the first contest. Flournoy-pitched the first five innings, allowing six kits, being succeeded by "Red" Rya, who was touched up for five singles in the remaining-four innings. As Washington, regular centerfielder, has not yet reported, Dixon shifted to centerfield, placing Mason in left an Hubbard-in right. Play Royal Giants The locals made one error to eight for their capital opponents. Fitzhugh, a newcomer, and Scrip Lee of Washington, pitched the second game for Baltimore. Next Sunday the Black Sox will take on the Brooklyn Royal Giants, headed by Dick Redding, in a twin bill.

ThePassing Review By BILL GIBSON Pave Jesse James FO chee eR pega SO CAO ty aparece eer Talades RR ae aaNet REIS? aN EES ah RES within the past fortnight or two, and the coming schedule calls for even more surprises. — Out in Los Angeles, last Thursday night, Santiago Zorilla, chalienger from Panama, was forced to see the referee raise the hand of Tod Morgan, white, defender of the junior lightweight crown, after. ten rounds of furious milling in which there were no knockdowns. . : Zorilia, a heavy favorite before the fight, beat a frenzied tattoo on the defending champion's body throughout the fight, and soon after the fight had started, had opened a cut under Morgan's eye, from which the blood dripped constantly during the fight. In the ninth round Morgan suddenly doubléd up as if in great pain, paused a@ moment, and then gave a signal as if to warn Zorilla that he was hitting low. A fast exchange of blows occurred in the final round, both boxers swinging hard as the final gong rang. We did not see the fight, 80 consequently cannot join a group of howlers wko insist that the Panama boy was gypped. We do know-that there is a-tendency among race fans to wail at the least little thing that takes an advantage away Jrom their man, and we also are aware that a dark-skinned. fighter is usually at a dis- advantage, as in other sports, when his opponent and the officials are also white. In case of close decisions the odds are usually going to favor the white man. This has become so.congnon that it is looked for as a natural sequence. ‘The fight was a elose one, from all reports, but as official de- cisions are final we see no room for yelping indiscriminately. Com- plaints should be made to the proper authorities, whatever or who- ever they are. This is Incident No. 1. ree ee . You may know that a group of amateur boxers representing the Chicago “Tribune” went to New York where they competed wit! a similar group of boxers representing Gotham and the New York “Daily News” in the second annual intercity Golden Gloves con- test, held in Madison Square Garden. q * The New York boxers were awarded victory by an 11 to 5 score. The Chicago““Tribune,” in an editorial under the caption, “Not Kicking, But——", said: “Whenever a Chicago boy won tn three rounds, it was declared a draw, and the fight-of round was giver to the New Yorker if he was able to hang on and survive ‘he exira go. If the Chicago borer was a colored boy, as three were, HE WAS OUT BEFORE HE WAS IN.” The capitals, as you have guessed, are ours. Edward Wills, one of the race lads, who by the way, is the light heavyweight champion of the Windy City, was forced to see the decision in his fight with Jimmy Morris, white, awarded the New York boy, although the ma~- jority of the spectators are reported as viewing the verdict from another angle. “As a consolation, for what, for a better name, may be termed a “moral victory,” young Wills was awarded a winners trophy, a gold belt buckle Set with a diamond, instead of the loser’s prize of ‘a silver ‘buckle set with rubies. 7 Wills, who plans to enter professional ranks, when asked if he intended making New York his stamping grounds, is reported as gravely shaking his head and saying: “New York? Never, no New York?” And that's Incident, No.2 | | In a much different vein we hear of the crowning of Santiago Esparraguera, 192-pounder, as_heavyweight champion of Cuba, by dint of his victory over one Goyito Rico, Esparraguera, a young~ ster. has dreams.of wearing the world’s heavyweight crown.

But to the game. The Sox infield, with the exception of Mar- cell, showed up in great form, and it is expected that Ollie will be cayorting in grand style ere the league lid is lifted. Mason, Hub- bard and Dixon in the outfield, present plenty of beef and we hope they will all field as well as they hit. Of Dixon we have no fear, for already we class him the best in baseball. Watching the peme Sundey ‘were Oscar Charleston and “Crush” Holloway, of Hilldale. It looked strange to see “Crush” on the bench and many were the fans who wished that he might doff his eivilian raiment for a baseball suit. KID CHOCOLATE FIGHTS Bushy Graham in New 20rk *ti- day night, the fight being dubbed a non-title one. . Hype Igoe, of the New York “World” thinks differently and makes no bones about it when he says: “Why isn’t the bout between Bushy Graham and Kid Chocolate one for the bantamweight title? Isn't Graham recognized as the bantam king? That was my understanding. Somebody has to be bantam champion. Why allow the division to go to seed? Graham met ail the requirements when he‘ faced Charley Rosenberg jor the title. He was the official challenger. Rosenberg failed to make the weight. Bushy did make it. Instead of withdrawing fe the bout he met_ Rosenberg, conceeded the extra poundage and lost the tiecision. By att rules of elimination and fair play Graham followed Rosenberg to the bantam throne. : “Here was one instance where a title didn’t -have to. be won. in the ring. Graham is the champion. rere he isn't a Mc- Govern or a Barry, but he should be recognized. And being rec- ognized, his bout with Chocolate should be a title one. “Tf Chocolate” defeats Graham, and I think he will defeat him, toho can say that the Cuban bon bon isn’t champion? And the odd part about it is that Chocolate will have as much chance eoeping. the title as Rosenberg. He is growing, growing, prommy and soon will be a feather and then a-lightweight.

Accompanying Granville, who is of brown complexion, were his trainer, Ben "Red" Arnold, white Canadian, and his manager, Thomas Crompton, white Englishman. Granville, it is understood, is backed by a club of rich Canadian sportsmen, and for the first laps of the race is taking it easy. No great concern seemed to be expressed at his stopping in a white locality here, but farther South Granville did not enjoy such hospitality when he came through in the 1928 trans-continental race. While in the northern country Granville is reported as being rather aloof to race contestants but very willing to mingle with them when in "deep" Southern territory. In Oklahoma last year, Granville lodged and ate with other race contestants. At public affairs he spoke of what the race would gain by winning the long grind. As soon as the cross-country race reached Chicago, Granville retired within himself and no longer mingled with the American colored boys. ENTRIES COMING IN FOR RACE APRIL 27 Indications Are That This Year's Race to be Biggest Held Here. COMPETITION KEEN Afro Again Offers a Gold Medal for Winner. With entries coming in, chances for the fifth annual Health Week marathon, to be held this year, April 27, to break all previous records, loom very bright. Entry blanks were just sent out to schools and colleges last week and since that time a number of individual entries have been received, an entry from Newark, N.J., being among the number. Each year the number of contestants has steadily increased, 101 names being on the official entry list when it was closed last year. 37 First Year The first year of the marathon there were 37 who registered, representing 15 institutions, but only 19 actually started. The trophy that year was won by John Carroll, running under the colors of the Bloom A.C. In 1926 there were 53 entrants, representing 17 organizations. Forty actually started. John Carroll carried the "Number 1." Robert Lee "No. 2" and Ernest Moody "No. 3" and finished in that order. It was in 1926 that the Regent and Royal Theatres first offered their traveling trophies. John Carroll's name was inscribed on the individual trophy while Carroll, Lee and Moody won the term prize for Grace Boyd Club. Record Still Stands In 1826 Carroll's time was 20 minutes. 15 2-5 seconds, for the course of 3.6 miles, breaking his record of 1925 and establishing the record which still stands. In 1927, ninety-four entered the race representing 11 institutions. Seventy-two actually started and again John Carroll, this time carrying the colors of the Vocational School, won the race for the fourth consecutive year. John Parker and Montague Cobb of Howard University followed him to the tape. One and Seventy-Two Robert Lee, who had run second in two previous races fell back to fifth place. A curious feature of that year's race was the fact that John Carroll who carried the "Number 1" finished in that position and the noy who carried the last number. "Number 72" finished seventy-second. Howard University won the team trophy with Parker. Cobb and John-Harris. In 1922 there were 101 entries representing 18 institutions and 77 started. Carroll Dethroned For the first time Carroll was de- tioned when a now King was hailed in the person of Edgar Lee. 15-year- old Armstrong High School boy (Washington), who finished in 20 minutes, 24 4-5 seconds.

APRIL 13. 1929 Gardner, Granville, Both Confident of $25,000 Plum Seattle Runner Registers as "American Negro," Granville as "British"—Feet of Both Men in Fine Shape as They Reach Baltimore Gardner Is Popular. By BILL GIBSON Because he insisted on wearing a handkerchieef tied around his head whenever he ran, Eddie Gardner, hardy distance runner in Pyle's cross-continent marathon, was dubbed "Sheik," by the Post-Intelligencer newspaper in Seattle, Washington, his home, and the name has stuck to him like the proverbial leech. This and many other interesting facts about the man who finished eighth in last year's transcontinental campaign, were revealed as Gardner and his manager, Mr. Curtis, rested here, while in quest of the coveted $25,000 prize that awaits the fastest man to Los Angeles. Eve on Big Prize Appearing none the worse for his trip via foot, from New York to Baltimore, Gardner grinned when asked whether or not he felt he should be able to be among the finishers. "I'll be there," he said, "and I expect to be in the big money. This race is not going to the one who runs the fastest but to the one who has the endurance to stick it out to the end." Number 165 Stockily built, and muscular, Gardner, who wears the number 165, presents a picture of physical perfection. Accustomed to hct weather, by virtue of his years spent in Alabama, he was last year able to withstand extremes of heat that made many good men fall by the wavslide, and this year the runner feels that he will be in even better shape because of the knowledge gained of the course in last year's race. He has won many prizes in distance competition, having won the Seattle Post-⁷ intelligence 25-mile race on four occasions. Is Very Modest Gardner is anything but aggressive in conversation, his disposition being of the modest, retiring sort. Nothing that he wants, within reason, is denied him by Mr. Curtis, and it is safe to say that there is no other runner as regularly spick and span as he. Clad in neat white jersey and trunks with gray sweat shirt and pants. Gardner furnishes a picturesque figure as he jaunts methodically along, apparently keeping the same gait at all times. Mr. Curtis, his manager, rides along in his car, which is equipped with all of the things necessary for such a grind. In most places Gardner and his manager are able to obtain board and lodging in a private home or hotel. It is only when they reach the sparsely populated stretches that they will take to their tent, and army cots. Will Cost $2,000 Mr. Curtis has conservatively estimated that the trip will cost him between $1500 and $2,000. Gardner spent three weeks in New York, prior to the start of the race, and like all the other runners had to pay the $300 entrance fee. Each participant must furnish his own food, and this item, together with lodging and incidentals, costs from $7 to $9 per day for the pair. "Slurs and insulting remarks? Certainly I get them, plenty of them." Gardner replied, in answer to my questioning. "And I don't have to go to the far south to get them either. Just from New York to Baltimore I have all manner of things said to me along the road so you can imagine what it is farther south. Last year there were verbal threats of violence, but no one put his hands on me or even started toward me, during the entire race. "They say: 'N—r. I hope you drop dead,' and other remarks much worse than that, but I am used to them now and they do no' cause me any worry." Runners Like Him Gardner is one of the best liked runners in the entire caravan of fifty who survived the trip from Gotham to the Monumental City.

WAYNESBURG, Pa. — Although he tied with Peter Gavuzzi, white, of England for third place in the lap of 33 miles from Uniontown to this city, Wednesday, Eddie (Sheik) Gardner, Seattle, Wash., maintained his lead in elapsed time over the field of runners in Pyle's transcontinental marathon. Gardner's time for the distance from New York is 68 hours, 11 minutes, and 10 seconds, more than 2 hours better than the time of his closest rival, John Salo, Passaic, N.J., policeman, who placed second in the 1928 race. we chatted, various groups of white American and foreign runners greeted him and conversed with him in the most cordial manner imaginable. Last year when the runners were fed by "Cash and Carry" Pyle, himself, Gardner, one day was standing in line at the lunch counter, with Pyle directly behind him. The attendant, instead of serving Gardner, and evidently intent on making a hit with the "big boss," handed some food in Pyle's handed "Serve the men as they come," Pyle is quoted as saying and he waited until Gardner had been servd. This gesture made an instant hit with the men and a spirit akin to camaraderie developed between the "Sheik" and the rest of the caravan. Gardner Ears Tobacco Gardner does not smoke neither does he drink. He has no special diet, eating the same kinds of food that he would if he were at home. He averages tenen hours sleep each night, rests a few hours after entering each control, and after refreshing himself, partakes of the evening meal and then goes for a walk or to a movie. Retiring at no later than 11 o'clock, he is up at six, in the morning, and after breakfasting, hies himself to the starting point. In his equipment he has eight pairs of shoes, of different weights, which he plans to change as conditions of the road warrant. Granville Smokes Cigar Granville, tall, bronzed, and muscular, who has a preference for the number, 7, has different ideas about training. Sitting up in bed smoking a big cigar, he related that he did not start smoking until he took up athletic competition. Smoking, he said, does not impair his wind at all and he always smokes several cigars after arriving at a control station. Goes Right to Bed Like Gardner, he always goes to bed as soon as he finishes the day's grind, and his handlers rub and massage him. When he has rested sufficiently, he refreshes himself and after dining, goes for a short stroll, after which he returns home and goes to bed, usually before 11 o'clock. No Special Diet He also finds a special diet unnecessary, eating anything that he may fancy, and a plenty of it. Ice cream, is his "weakness," and while being interviewed, ate more than a pint of the frozen delicacy, which had been covered with crushed fruits. Granville, who typifies the spirit of Gardner Uses Suet and Resin to Keep Feet Hard for Bunion Grind Gardner Uses Suet and Resin to Keep Feet Hard for Bunion Grind Some of the reasons why Eddie Gardner is able to keep so fit were disclosed when he stopped off in Baltimore for a rest, following his run to the Monumental City from Havre de Grace. Gardner's trainer, J. Curtis, of Seattle, Washington, rubs him down three times each day—immediately after Gardner finishes a day's run, just before he retires for the night, and then again in the morning just before the race begins. For the first and third rubs Omega Oil is used, while the second rub is made with a mixture composed of double-strength witch hazel, arnica and Stokes liniment. To keep the soles of Gardner's feet in good condition and to prevent any splitting of the skin, a mixture of mutton suet and powdered resin is rubbed on the soles, giving the bottom of his feet, on almost glassy surface. Mr. Curtis sald he got the suet-resin idea from Western cowboys who use the mixture to keep the hoofs of their burros from splitting even should they step on the prickly sand burrs which one finds on the Western deserts. aggressiveness, formerly held amateur walking titles in Canada and the United States. He has beaten Willie Plant, white, the former champion, and in 1924 walked 106 miles (from Buffalo to Toronto) in 19 hours and 59 minutes. Walks Most of Time Last year he placed third in the transcontinental race and this year he is looked upon as a heavy favorite to win the derby. During the first part of the race, Granville, who walks most of the time, has stayed within the first 15 runners, but has made no apparent attempt to be among the first. He appeared to be in 100 per cent physical condition, his feet showing no sign of weakening under the punishment the have undergone. It is reported that Granville was the only finishing contestant in last year's race to be pronounced normal when the race ended in New York Shoes Weigh Four Pounds From New York to Baltimore. Granville wore extremely heavy shoes, the pair weighing between three and four pounds, and being especially built for him. He has eight pairs of shoes, some of them being lighter than the ones just mentioned. Granville wears a pair of sweat pants and a sweat shirt over his trunks during most of the race. It is in the desert country that he is expected to make time. Daily papers from Hamilton, Ont., follow him along the itinerary of the 1929 grind and the millionaire sportsmen who are backing him feel confident that he will finish well up in the money. Has Radio Fishing Table Accompanying Granville is his car, in which, or on top of which, he has everything that any bunioner might want. In addition to the necessities such as beds, cents et cetera, Granville has a radio set, fishing tackle, and many other other bunion derby luxuries. He is a tallor while Gardner, to harden himself last winter, worked in a steel plant in Kansas City. Both runners feel confident of victory and as they pulled out of Baltimore Saturday morning, their last cry was, "We'll see you with the prizes."

EASTERN BALL GLUBS AWAIT OPENING GONG Clubs of oo League Have Started Active Train- ing. “BEES” HAVE PROBLEM Picking Infield to Cause Ben Taylor Some Worry. PHILADELPHIA. — According to report reaching the head- quarters of the new American Negro League in this city, all of the member clubs are now in active training for the opening bell on April 27. The Homestead Grays will not open their season until May 4 when the Bacharach Giants, of Atlantic City, will help them inaugurate league baseball on Forbes Field, Pitts- burgh. The other opening games follow: Lincoln Giants at Hilldale, Cuban Stars at Baltimore, April 27; Bacn- arach Giants at Lincoln, April 28. The many trades engineered by the Baltimore Black Sox have mace that club the focal point for the eyes of the fans and many of them are al- ready conceding the flag of the Sox. Manager Frank Warfield, however. is not so optimistic. The sturdy second baseman's warning is: “Wait and see. They look fine on paper but it will take a lot of effort to whip them into shape as a team. Teamwork is what wins pennants and not individual stars. Eye On College Boy “I have 2 certain collegian in view for first base and if he continues to look good, Jud Wilson will be moved to the outfield to make room for him.” John Henry Lloyd, of the Lincolns, has begun his training season with Seales on second base and young Billy Yancy at shortstop. he evident- ly being sincere in his desire to re- tire as 2 regular. Taylor Has Big Job Ben Taylor's big problem at the Shore is in picking his infield from a host of excellent material. He has to plug the holes vacated by the trading of Marcelle and Lundy and also find a second baseman if he moves Ambrose Reid over to third. Into this puzzle he must fit Reid, Connie Day, Bobby Williams, "vans and Lindsay. Ben has said that he will not play reguiarly and it is as- sumed that George Carr will set the call at first base. Clan Darbie has few problems to solve in getting down to 14 members by June 1, the league will limit in numbers and time. There is no excess infield and outfield talent but one catcher and three pitchers will get the gate. Alex Pompez is saying little but his past record in choosing players is well known. particularly to oppos- ing clubs. There will be plenty of color and ability to the Cuban Stars this season. Premoters bid tor sini Chocolate is the vey man, how- ever, as he has stolen every program on which he has app-ared. Promot- ers bid and every contender seeks @ match with him, The “Keed” from Havana makes the turnstiles whirl. He outdrew Al Singer at the smaller clubs and has supplanted Jimmy Slattery as the best box-office bet in Buffalo. He has yet to top a pro- gram at the Garden. No bantam engaged the attention of the fans un- til Chocclate and his infectious smile climbed into the ring at the old St. Nicholas Arena. Contrary to the opinion of many people, ihe name “Chocolate” does not refer to the littie Cuban's color. A brother—a welterweight of aver- age ability—was called Chocolate. so it became natural for him to be- come Kid Chocolate. MeMahon, who has a string on him, feels that an open-air bout between Chocolate and “Spider” Pladner will be a big money maker. ” Brown Returning Al Brown. who. was Gesiznated by the National Boxing Associatien. as bantam champ‘on. returns from Pa- tis late this menth.

CLEVELAND IS OUT | Russ, Harney and Curry Are Lost to Chicago Giants. | SAINT LOUIS. (Special) —With President W. C. Hueston presiding, the National Baseball League, meet- ing here last week, decided to open the league season April 27, with six clubs. The Cleveland club was dropped from the roster, the Homestead IGrays having dickered with the management of Luna Park in Cleve- Jand, to secure all of the Sunday dates, At the same‘ time the In- dianapolis A. B. C.’s and the Elites of Nashville, Tenn., were taken in as associate members. Clubs in the circuit this year will be the St. Louis Stars, Kansas City Monarchs, Birmingham Black Ba- tons, Chicago American Giants, Memphis Red Sox, Detroit Stars, and Cuban Stars, who in all probability will play as an associated club. The ‘Memphis franchise was awarded to ‘Dr. E. E. Nesbit, president, and Dr. W. S. Martin. Chicago Loses Stars. . The Chicago American Giants, will in all probability be without the services of Russ, Harney, Miller, Sweatt and Curry, who have nat signed contracts due to employment in the Chicago postoffice The Giants will start training in the Windy City es soon as the weather permits. The Monarchs are in Louis- jana and the Birmingham club is training in Fort Benning, Ga. The Memphis club, with several new players from the Pacific Coast League, started training Monday. Third Baseman Robinson of the Red Sox is reported as a holdout. Equalize Expenses. Because of the impossibility of erranging a 50-50 schedule of games at home and away from home, due to the fact that Birmingham uses the Southern League park, and Kansas City uses the American As- scciation park, a resolution was pass- ed equalizing the traveling expenses among the club members. This aiso affects the Cuban Stars who are without home grounds. FIGHTS TONIGHT aa fos am Oi ia ee <P oe .

And so, William Dunlap and Son, white undertakers, 19th and Fairmount avenue, this city, were made defendants in damages totaling $100,000 arising out of severe injuries suffered by 11 persons being transported in their funeral cars and the widow of a twelfth person who was killed while the party was en route from Philadelphia to the Eastern Shore of Maryland to attend the funeral of Henry Hypson. attend the funeral of Kerry Hyndson. Raymond Pace 'Alexander, attorney, represented the injured persons. Testimony at a coroner's inquest at Elkton shows that the funeral procession led by the hearse, followed by two high-powered automobiles, a Pierce-Arrow and a Packard, left Philadelphia at seven o'clock in the morning, March 4, and passed through Chester and Wilmington on its way down the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Out of Wilmington, the cars began to go at such a rapid rate that the mourners complained to the chauffeurs that the speed was too great for a funeral. The cars stopped at Chesapeake, Md. for refueling and then continued their rapid pace. Near Elkton, Md., as the speed was 65 miles an hour, the first car ran off the highway and struck two telegraph poles, breaking the poles instantly in half. The second car, not being able to stop, ploughed through the first car, injuring all of the occupants and so badly fracturing the skull of Perry Hynson that he died a few days later in Elkton hospital. Other injured persons were Walter Hynson, fractures of the jaw and loss of several teech; John Henry Stone, fracture of the leg; Georgia Freeman, fractured leg; Blanche B. Hynson, fracture of the jaw bone; Mrs. Walter Hynson and Mrs. Earl Hynson, lacerations and fractures. D. C. Conference Urges State Clubs to Promote Vocational Guidance. MRS.

Fontenelle Dance Society's Brilliant Event of Week The attention of Baltimore society elite was drawn last week to the dance of the Fontenelle Club at Pythian Castle on Friday night. The club members employed ingenuity in arranging their formal dance and went to no little expense to make it the most original affair of its kind this season. The hall was arranged with vases of jonquils, the club's color, in every space available—large palms placed in most remote corners of the room, with backgrounds of beautiful colored floor lamps, giving the effect of a mid-summer night atmosphere, which prevailed throughout the evening. Pretty little dance cards at the disposal of each guest were quickly filled as the continuous music of Irving Hughes' Southernners was broken only by way of further entertainment, in having two entertainers, They gave several snappy songs and dialect. The ladles attired in filmy chiffons, bouffant taffetta and tulle of youthful tints, gave color and distinction, when viewed from the balcony rail, as the couples glided merrily around the hall. At a specified time, the charming hostesses invited their guests to the reception room, where the most cordial service was rendered as the best of delicacies were served. Returning to the hall, dancing was resumed where it was left off and the evening was a memorable one. Fontenelle Club Guest List A. Jack Thomas Chas.

Are You Ready When your Children Cry for It Baby has little upsets at times. All your care cannot prevent them. But you can be prepared. Then you can do what any experienced nurse would do—what most physicians would tell you to do—give a few drops of plain Castoria. No sooner done than Baby is soothed; relief is just a matter of moments. Yet you have eased your child without use of a single doubtful drug; Castoria is vegetable. So it's safe to use as often as an infant has any little pain you cannot pat away. And it's always ready for the crueler pangs of colic, constipation, or diarrhea; effective, too, for older children. Twenty-five million bottles were bought last year. Fletcher's CASTORIA ARLINGTON POWDER MANICURING FACIAL TREATMENTS HAIRDRESSING Mesdames Gladiola Johnson and Eva. B. Short, Propriet s.

Hattie Tilghman Hostess to Les Amies. Pansy, dear, Well, folks are back home from their holiday trips—schools have taken up where they left off, and every body has had a chance to show his or her smart spring outfit. The Regional Conference Convention that convened here held sway for the past week end, bringing quite a number of interesting folks to town. And, speaking of folks in town, reminds me that the Jesse Websters have just returned from Florida and while here, have taken up their abode with Harold and Gladys Derry out at Morgan Park. Salle Logan, by the way, had house guests from Philadelphia and New York over the holidays. The charming Robert sisters of New York and Mrs. Mollie Koee of Philadelphia. Fannie White, the Winarton family, the Howard Youngs, Bentrice Truman, garet Harper, Mary Cook, Edna. Over, Claudia De Man, Nettie Clark, Doctor, Miss Eva and Chita McCard, the Ashleigh Hawkins. Irving Hughes and Connie Murphy have just recently returned from Atlantic City, where they were among the Easter colony enjoying the sea breezes. Marlan Webb and Walter spent a pleasant Easter down in Norfolk. Va. Florence Purviance went to Asbury Park for her holidays. George Lottie, Miss Lillian and their children joined the Huywoods out at Morgan and motored over to Washington to witness the egg rolling on the White House grounds, Easter Monday. THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 1929 But thinking that the numerous festivities from the holidays had subsided, we are on the other hand reminded from the social calendar that the little spring season has just begun. The doings of the past week, however, started with Mary Taylor's surprise party to her husband. Mary Taylor's Party Pansy, you have read often of Ben Taylor, manager of the Black Sox baseball team. He has been transferred to the Atlantic City team and left last week for his new post. Mary thought of his leaving here and planned before hand just how to give him a send-off. Her ideas worked out beautifully on last Wednesday when she sprang a surprise party in his honor, prior to his leaving town. Cards were enjoyed the first part of the evening and dancing followed. Ben was so completely taken off his feet when Daisy Bailey went after him at his place of business and brought him home with some kind of excuse, only to be confronted with thirty or more of his friends shouting "surprise!" Favors of baseball suggestions were bestowed upon him, besides a huge bouquet of flowers presented him from his wife and children. The folks that kept the evening enjoyable were: Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Ashe, Mr. and Mrs. James Randall, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Carter, Mr. and Mrs. McLiver, Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Long, Catherine Williams, Elenora Wright, Irene Russell, Daisy Bailey, Gladys Ray, Heilen Gallen, Maud Williams, Marlan Sabbs, of Washington, D.C., Margaret Blackwell, Guy Smith and his father, of Indiana: Lancaster, Tinner and Lewis, of Washington, D.C., Mar Britt and Irving Hughes. Mary's card prizes, by the way, were beautiful. Ben received the honored guest prize, a baseball and hat. Helen Holland Honors Mrs. Kean Gee, girlle, Mrs. Mollie Kean, of Philadelphia, has hosts of friends here. Every time she comes, it's parties, parties, parties. So Helen Holland of 1631 Drudg Hill avenue started the ball rolling on Monday afternoon when she entertained at cards in her honor. Easter flowers, Easter eggs, in fact, the whole Easter at- mosphere was all around, even to the tasty menu. I think Mrs. Holland's guests numbered about twenty-eight. Mrs. Gussie Bronner, of New Jersey, was among the guests. Others present were: Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Moseley, Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Bond, Mr. and Mrs. Logan Jenkins, Sr. Mr. and Mrs. George Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Amy, Eurich Banks, Mamle Beal, Elizabeth Custis, Nettie Gilbert, Rose White, Nannie Biddle, Sophin Lewis, Georgiana Brown, Florence Cooper, Maud Durbin, Minnie Amy, Bettle Cornish, Mary Addison, Ellen Tingle, Walter Thornton and Royal Addison. I tell you, girlle, Helen put on some party and everybody did enjoy. Howard-Lincoln-Morgan Boys Entertain "Fatty" Fowlkes and Dick Thomas were hosts, Pansy, to a very elite party in honor of the Howard, Lincoln, and Morgan boys who spent the Easter holidays here. The music was way out of this world and with the attractive looking damels called in to help make the evening go by pleasantly, nothing more was needed to call it a full day.

Following testimony of the girl’s 4ather, who is a local Baptist preach- er, and her mother, asserting that the girl was ‘only 13, sections of the law were read setting forth that a charge of rape was mandatory if the girl was under 16 and the boy over 18.

According to prominent Nort west Baltimore citizens a group of white agents visited their home this week ocering a free lot which had been allotted them on the condition that they pay a given amount for transferring title, etc. This amount, $40, is to be paid in weekly installments and as little as $1 a weeek can be paid. The alleged site is somewhere "on a new highway between Philadelphia and Atlantic City" and the name of the concern, which advertises offices at 144 East 86th street, New York, is the Paradise HomeSites, Inc. Some time ago the AFRO-AMERICAN exposed a proposition working on thee same basis which it found to be fraudulent. Local real estate dealers are advising residents to make careful examination of any propositions advanced by agents before investing even a dollar.

That the Negro is making a serious and intelligent effort to find his place in the commercial life of the nation is disclosed by the number of commercial, trade line, and research organizations listed in the offices of the United States Department of Commerce where the publicity and promotion section has been making an especial effort to close a gap in the total information on business organizations by having the Small Business unit assemble this data. Twelve National Organizations, two Tri-State bodies, eleven State organizations and 78 local trade, business, or professional bodies are listed and indexed in the Department of Commerce. While this listing is obviously incomplete, it is sufficient to be highly encouraging. The Undertakers are the most highly organized set of business men in the race. Local, state, tri-state and national bodies closely related are reported among the morticians. Least organization seems to prevail in strictly mercantile circles, though this is the largest field and the one most in need of aggressive cooperative effort. The national organizations listed are: The National Beauty Culturists League. The National Bankers Association. The National Builders Association. The National Engineers, Architects, and Chemists. National Funeral Directors Association (Independent). National Negro Life Insurance Association. National (Negro) Medical Association. National Association of Negro Tailors, Dressmakers, and Designers. National Negro Press Association. National Urban League (Research organization). Theater Owners Booking Association. DAYS MAY 30—Y.

THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 1929 MEN'S CLOTHING HOME FRIENDLY INS CO. SHOWS LARGE GAINS IN ASSETS HOME FRIENDLY INS CO. SHOWS LARGE GAINS IN ASSETS Office to Be Opened in Philadelphia The Annual Statement of the Home Friendly Insurance Company of this State for the year ending December 31, 1928, shows this old Maryland insurance company to be in most excellent condition. One noteworthy feature of the Financial Statement is the fact that the combined reserves and surplus provide a fund of $2,062,467.41 for the protection of policyholders. The report also shows that the funds of the company are conservatively and profitably invested. It may be a surprise to many of our readers to learn that the Home Friendly Insurance Company is one of the oldest insurance companies in the United States. It having been organized in May, 1884, being only five years younger than the largest insurance company in the world. The management of this company is active and progressive and always ready to adopt new methods and ideas that will promote the growth and well-being of the business, as these methods are proven sound. This is evidenced by the recent decision to install an Actuarial and Statistical Department. This department to be equipped with the most modern system of electrical driven machines in use. This equipment being used in connection with what is known as the perforated card system. It may be said the perforated card system practically eliminates the possibility of human error and assures definite information as to exact results being obtained in every branch of the business. So far as we can learn, there are only two other Maryland life insurance companies that have, as yet, adopted the perforated card system; though all of the local surety and casualty companies have done so.

LAURA WRIGHT AGAIN WINS BOND PRIZE Havre de Grace Girl Is Again Victor in Harford County Contest. BURTON LISBY SCORES Wins First Prize for Boys by Narrow Margin. With an unusually brilliant and colorful rendition of the old classic, "Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight," Laura Wright, Harve de Grace girl, again took first honors at the annual recitation-declamation contest of the Harford County schools at Bel Air Friday evening. The contest, which was one. of the best held in the state, attracted the usual crowd as 26 young hopefuls started out on their oratorical and dramatic race. The judges, which comprised William N. Jones of the AFRO-AMERICAN staff, Mrs. Roy S. Bond, and Miss Louise Mussenden, a supervisor in Baltimore public schools, found some difficulty in making awards due to the neck and neck character of the race. The awards as made were as follows: Burton Lisby, first prize for boys; Edgar S. Johnson, second; Louis S. Monk, third with honorable mention going to Booker Welch. The first prize for girls went to Laura Wright, Blanche Whittington won second, Bertha Beaker, third, and Rosa Cox, honorable mention. Deborah Bond Prize The Deborah Bond Prize, given each year by Roy S. Bond, Baltimore attorney, in memory of his mother, went to Miss Wright. This is the second year she has romped away with both honors. The presentations were made by Mr. Bond with D. W. Noble, supervisor of County Schools, presiding. Two piano solos by Misses Irene Thompson and Susie Spann, teachers in the county schools, brought forth applause. Among visitors from Baltimore were the Rev. Beal Elliott and Arthur J. Payne.

For Honest Prescription Service Come to Us. Ask Your Doctor----He Knows ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION Did Negroes Supply Solomon's Gold? Where was Ophir—the renowned source of King Solomon's gold supply? That is the question that still puzzles the archaeologist and Bible student. Where was this land of fabulous wealth, three years away by travel (I. Kings, 10:22), from which came the purest gold of all the world? Gold that was used to fill the coffers of the mightiest king of Israel and to adorn the interior of the great temple must of course be of the purest and finest. Theodore Bent and Rider Haggard (who wrote a novel about it) were sure that the location of Ophir was southeast Africa. Now, Prof. Leo Probenius, noted student of African culture, is to visit southern Rhodesia, Southeast Africa, to definitely find the answer to this puzzling question. Three times already Zimbabwe, the ancient ruined city of Mashonaland, has stirred the imagination of the western world. And with explorations again on the way it brooks well to rival in interest and importance the ruins of Carthage, of Ingkor-Vat and of Paphos. MYSTERIOUS CITY What does history say of Zimbabwe? Only a few paltry pebbles of knowledge have escaped to us from the overflowing obliterating sands of the ages. Zimbabwe is as mysterious today as it was four hundred years ago when Europe first became aware of its existence. Cur facts are these: In 1488, six years after the discovery of America by the Spaniards under Columbus, the Portuguese discovered S. E. Africa. At the time Portugal and Spain were the great seafaring nations of the West. They were as important in their day as England and America are today. Fired by the stories of Prester John who had visited Ethlopia, (the modern Abyssinia), King Henry of Portugal sent his sailors south through the Red Sea. Although this route had been well known to the Ancient world, to both the Arabians and Phoenicians during their powerful epochs, it was a region of fabulous darkness, the literal end of the world, to Europe of the Middle Ages. Only a few daring souls like Columbus and King Henry could imagine that the world was round and not flat, and that sailors setting out upon unknown seas would not fall over, the "Edge of the Earth" into "Misty Abysses," but would eventually, by circling the globe, return to home port. Humanity, it seems, does not continually progress upward in a straight line but rather advances in the form of a spiral, base ignorance often succeeding periods of great enlightenment. Aristole and the scholars and navigators of the Greek Empire three hundred years before Christ knew that the world was round. Long before this, it is probable that the Arabians knew it, but Europe martyred its scholars for saying so fifteen hundred years later. Zimbabwe likewise proves that man often "walks backwards" in his progress! In 1560 when Father Silveira pushed his way inland from Goa, the new Portugese settlement on the South African coast, Zimbabwe was a great and flourishing city, the capital of Monomotapa, Silveira describes this "Black Empire" glowingly in a letter to the pope of Rome. From his descriptions it is a land of vast wealth, lying between the Zambesi river on the north and the Limpopo river on the south, and might even extend to the Cape of Good Hope. Anyway, weather that this Empire of the Blacks was larger than European France is today, larger, perhaps, than our state of Texas and literally dotted with inexhaustible gold mines. A country indeed to whet the commercial greed of the Portuguese! At first, it appears, the Great Black King of Monomotapa, receives the Christian emissary with pleasure and hospitability. His courtesy for the stranger extends even to allowing himself to be christened "Sebastian" by him and giving him a house to set up, his Holy Cross in. The Pagan monarchs were always famed for their liberality in matters of the soul; one or two new gods, never did any harm to their already over-flowing Pantheon. It took but a little while, however, for the Monarch to discover that Silveira's visit was not entirely for the purpose of conversion. As usual the flag was trying to follow the cross. A Mohamedan at the court (for the Mohamedans had known Zimbabwe long before the Christians), perhaps jealous of his rival's religious success with the Monarch, alded Silveira downfall by calling him a wizard. If we are to believe the miraculous tales solemnly recorded at the Vatican about Silveira speaking with wild beasts and being succored by them, he was a wizard and deserved to lose his head as a dangerous subject. WHITES CAPTURED CITY The next we hear of Zimbabwe the Portugese are marching, (the regular soldiers reinforced by enemy tribes of Monomotapa), fifteen thousand and strong against the Empire of the Blacks. At Mocapa the Portugese, having superior firearms rout the Black Monarch, and march to Zimbabwe the capital. Here, Manura, uncle of the defeated monarch is crowned Christian King of Monomotapa. This, however, was only an empty gesture on the part of the Portugese who had no real power in Africa at this time. This is proved by the fact that the Portugese retired to their coast settlement shortly-afterwards and left Monomotapa again in the hands of the natives. It is also proved by the fact that the ten missionaries who later set out to teach the Holy Scriptures to the people of the New Christian Monarch were never heard of again. Monomotapa, as far as Europe is concerned, ceases to exist. Two and a half centuries later, in 1871, Zimbabwe again flashes across the horizon of Europe. Herr Mauch, a German explorer, brings it again into the limelight. But what a different Zimbabwe! No longer is it the great capital of a great empire. Now, it is a mute array of crumbling stone buildings! Time again has triumphed over man. Wild beasts silently prow through the vast chambers that once rang with the laughter of men. Monkeys gambol over the altars of the dead Gods of Zimbabwe. And the towers, along the great stone/ wall that is thirteen feet thick at the top and twenty at the basee, and more than thirty feet high, are filled with nesting birds. Zimbabwe, like ancient Tyre and Babylon, sleeps—and does not talk in its sleep. TAKEN BY ZULUS? What happened to Zimbabwe? The savants of Europe in 1891 conclude that Zimbabwe was taken by the neighboring Zulus and gradually fell into decay. It is more probable that terrible wars aided by an earthquake were its downfall. The ruins bespeak the hand of nature rather than that of man in the final destruction, for stones seemed to have been hurled from great heights. But before savants asked what happened to Zimbabwe and tried to answer it, they asked who built Zimbabwe and tried to answer that. Rider Haggard and Theodore Bent and others concluded that it must have been originally built by Phoenician traders more than a thousand years before Christ. That it must have been the original Ophir of King Solomon's days. The basis of their reasoning was that the city was very ancient and evidently built by people who were in a high stage of civilization. This city, built on a great hill, surrounded on three sides by granite cliffs which gave it a natural protection, and on the only accessible side was provided with a wall of massive proportions and cunning workmanship—the wall was so constructed that one man at a time only could enter the gates of the city —must have been the creation of whites from the civilized world surrounding the Mediterranean. And they say, since the Phoenicians were the greatest travelers of antiquity, it must have been founded by them. PHOENICIANS NEVER MENTIONED IT But if this is so, why didn't the Phoenicians speak of it? Why didn't it become famous like Carthage and Tyre and Paphos, the other great cities founded by the Phoenicians? Why were they silent only about this one? This one which produced, according to these same authorities, almost unlimited, gold. Surely so rich a city could not have supplied gold to the Mediterranean countries for a thousand years and never been mentioned or its location given. They also base their reasoning upon the similarity of the religious images unearthed at Zimbabwe and those found on other Phoenician sites—images that are phallic in design and bespeak a worship of the generative powers, and of the sun. But it is now known, with the mod- ern excavations at Pompeii, and in Persia, Egypt and Mexico and Central America, that worship of the sun and the generative powers was not the exclusive product of one people. Monoliths, little different from those found at Zimbabwe, are scattered all over the world wherever man had trod. Moreover, Zimbabwe is an inland city, far from the coast. Phoenicians have never been known to erect a city off the coast. The city is too solidly built and fortified to have been a mere gold station on the way to the coast. Its workmanship is such that it bespeaks a great. knowledge of architecture, and refinement of taste. It is built on a foundation of granite which it would have taken an army of workers through long years of labor to lay. And the buildings are made of small blocks of stone, slightly larger than a brick, so fitted together that mortar was not necessary. The walls of the temple and the monoliths are profusely carved with the images of birds. The Phoenicians would scarcely have gone to all of this trouble for a mere gold station which they never thought enough of to mention. And the yessels of gold, unearthed there are carved with the delicacy and ingenuity of the best modern goldsmiths. NOT ANCIENT OPHIR No, Zimbabwe is not the ancient Ophir. Ophir sent not only gold to Solomon, but peacocks and sandalwood as well, and there are no peacocks or sandalwood in Africa. Ophir was probably some port on the Malabar coast in India, the home of peafowl and sandalwood, which also produced gold. The modern explorer with more knowledge of the past, and the habits of man than was at the disposal of the savants of the 70's and 90's, and with better facilities for unearthing and comparing the ruins of a dead city, will probably not depend so much upon the scant references in the Bible for solving this mystery. America and Europe eagerly await the results of the Frobenius expedition. For if Zimbabwe proves after all to be of purely African origin many conclusions hitherto held about the people of Africa will have to be dropped. It may even be that Africa had an architecture and a culture hidden away in its jungles that equaled that of the Greeks and the Romans. THE END Blindness Meant Success HOUSTON. Texas- Shellie Jackson was twelve. He was playing baseball. at school one day when he sustained a bow that seriously injured his optic nerves. Shellie quit going to school. He resorted to various eye salves and eye waters; doctors treated his eyes. At fourteen, in spite of everything he had done for his eyes, he was totally blind. "It's too bad you lost your eyes, after all," a friend commented, "The world is no paradise to live in when a person has the benefit of his eyes." "Ah," said Shellie somewhat peevishly, "don't worry about my condition! I'm not the only blind person in the world!" "No!" his friend continued. "But I imagine you'll find being on the mercy of the people the hardest job of your life." "Ah," said Shellie, "I don't ever intend to be a helpless object of charity! I shall ask for nothing more than the support of the people God has so fixed it that even a blind person can earn his living if he will." Shellie spent years in an institution for the blind where he showed great aptitude in spite of his handicap. When he left the school he had mastered a trade. So he established a manufacturing business. He manufactured all kinds of brooms in wholesale quantities. Indeed, his business grew to enormous proportions. And merchants, both white and colored, appeared to consider his business a "home industry" and patronized it accordingly. Shellie's manufacturing business prospered much beyond expectations. He married. His wife acting in the capacity of saleswoman, his secretary and business manager, helped him in more than one way, devoting her whole life to him. Several years after, Shellie and his wife, in addition to their thriving broom business, found themselves with enough surplus capital to launch a mattress manufacturing business. But they are very modest and never boast of their success. Their motto is "God Helps Those Who Help Themselves," a little of Franklin's wonderful philosophy. So Shellie Jackson's blindness has been a means of pushing him forward to a success he might not have otherwise attained.

JUSTICE Struggling BY CORA BELL MOTEN Big Ott, gang leader and crook, has received to have a murder, committed by himself in the course of a break robbery, saddled onto David Geary, a young country youth, David has been led to believe that Zola, a beautiful and mysterious cabinet dancer, is to blame for his plight. Zola really is seeking to save him because she is in love with him. The Chocolate Kid, an aviator, who at one time kidnapped Zola for Big Ott and took her to the Nest, a cabin in the forest, owned by An On Elise, hypnotical enemy of David's, is now aligned with her and Barry Drane, a weakling dominated by Ott, who is Barry's own father. John Belling, an old directive, proves to be Zola's father, a man whom Ott had cheated and wronged in the past. Ott, who has been jailed for a second robbery that Zola tipped off to the marshal of David's village, has unwittingly assisted in bringing John Belling and Zola together. Anson Bledsoe, having been wounded at the time of the robbery, although he succeeded in escaping without being recognized, is being asked for by Angie, an unfortunate civil who loves him and whom he has engaged. He leaves her in the cabin with the understanding that he intends to put the blame for her condition on David. Meanwhile the Chocolate Kid, Barry Duane, Zola and David's parents are all on their way to the cabin—the first three with knowledge of conditions and the intention of bringing others to a culmination. David, in all, has become hopeless and is about to on trial for his life. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY: THE LAST INSTALLMENT The Key grated in the look of his hel. David looked up. His brown shoes were homeless, but their gaze were warmer. "Well, today's your best day, kid. The judge is goin' to entertain for you up in court. He's a full house up there writin' for your comin-out party. Citron." The jacifer's tone was facetious and his eyes not unbind as he stood waiting for the boy to shrug himself into his coat and follow him out into the long dismal corridor. "I'll be along up after awhile. Davy, got a invite you know. I'm the best that's goin' to make the pre-creation speech. We're givin' you nice, brand-new hemp necktie. You know. I'll be ready a month or so after today's party. I'm sure." Big's malicious tones followed him touch the heavy door before it had anced shut behind him. he stepped out into the front of leaders leading up to the narrow pass- way into the short street between the jail and courtroom. There was no answering laughter Olid's guild cutoff at his own pleas- sure. The other prisoners eveed sullenly unresponsive. One big ryegman shouted out his dis- proval. "Aw, can the cawin' you big crow. you may be the next one. What's the kid done to you that you got-ta so keen on helpin' the bulls gore now?" turned his evil little red eyes at the big fellow. They were venom- ous with vindictive resentment, but the steady clate of the big fellow was clance they wavored and sart: the big black coward grinned at the other black man placatively, as he THE AFRO-AMERICAN: BALTIMORE, SATURDAY. APRIL 13, 1929 The courtroom was crowded—David glanced over the peering, pushing mob listlessly replied, "Aw, can't nouody in here take a joke? I was just jokin' with that kid. You're all a lot of pretty Sunday school babies—soot you're afraid of the dark." He followed his words with a forced laugh. His eyes skifted from face to face of the occupants of the cells across the way. There was no answering mirth. Ott was unpopular. The courtroom was crowded. David glanced over the peering, pushing mob listlessly as he took his seat behind his counsel inside of the rail. One friendly face alone in the whole throng smiled encouragingly at him. It was the face of young Ellen Garston, wife of big, hard-working Hurd, who had moved with his young wife into the city from Etingford less than a year before. "You're young and friendly lookin', Ellen; you go down there to that courthouse and smile' friendly at that boy when he's a-beim' tried there among his enemies. That boy ain't guilty!" So had spoken old Aunt Ailsie Smothers at the breakfast table that morning where she sat with the two young people as their beloved guest for the summer. DAVID GETS SYMPATHY "All right, honey," he smiled back: "if Aunt Ailsie thinks so, you go on down there. She ain't often rong, and I don't believe Dave would hill anybody. They say his dad's so down on him he won't have nothin' to do with it, and I expect his mother can't get in if the old man is set on it." He nodded brightly at the little old woman as she shook her palsied head in pleased appreciation at his agreement with her. "I wonder if maybe I wouldn't better take that packet of papers Mix Conway left here when she was in that day to see Dave? She said that cabaret dancer wrote them out and left 'em there with her, all sealed up, when she disappeared so sudden like after tellin' her she had come to help Dave. When she came back she said Dave told her them papers was more likely to hinder him than help him, so she left them and told me to tear 'em up or keep 'em, just as I seen fit. She didn't want nothin' more to do with them. She wouldn't even look at 'em, cause Dave told her not to." Ellen looked at her husband questioningly. "Can't do no good to take 'em and no harm neither, I guess." His voice was dubious. IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS "You take them papers down there, Ellen, and the very fust chance you git you give 'em to that boy's lawyer. They might be somethin' in them papers that would help him, an' if they ain't his own lawyer will know an' he'll have sense enough not to use 'em. They ought to been took there long ago. That Nancy Conway allus was the believingest woman I ever seen, and the easiest to befoil." There was command and impatient indictment in 'wise old Aunt Ailsie's" voice. Kurt Anstie's story. "Yes I'm," said Ellen, quickly. So it was that David Conway looked through the peeping and peering faces of that curious crowd into the kindly. smiling eyes of sweet, brown-faced Ellen Garston, and his soul was heartened by the friendship shining in that face and beaming in that smile. David smiled back. Old John Belling Carruth sat smoking his pipe on the doorstone of the Nest. The Chocolate Kid lounged beside him, idly puffing at a cigarette. Both: men looked up at the sound of voices. They exchanged a Hearts quick glance of understanding as the first of the group of eager curiosity-seekers pushed in ahead of the two silent members of the crowd. DAVID'S FATHER, APPEARS DAVID'S FATHER ATTENDS Of these last Jason Conway, grim-faced and powerful, was the first. Behind him, his face drawn down in a lugubrious mask of assumed sympathy, came Anson Bledsoe. At sight of the two men the mask suddenly shifted and the sallow, yellow face of the sleekly handsome villain became a livid picture of fearful apprehension. His long lower lip dropped and his eyes took on a vacuous stare of irbecile astonishment. The chattering group parted and let the two men through. Then, as Jason Conway stalked firmly toward the doorway and Anson Bledsoe followed in quaking wonder, the two other men smiled nonchalantly. The watchers grew silent. DAVID'S FATHER MISUNDERSTANDS "Where is the girl my boy has wronged?" Jason Conway's voice rang through the silence like a challenge. His lips were hard and firm, as are the lips of martyrs when they approach the supreme ordeal. The Chocolate Kid straightened slowly and flicked the ash from his cigarette. Then he smiled very deliberately and very ingratiably into the stern face of the man before him. "What girl?" he said. "What girl? He said. "You know he means Angie! You double-crosser! What's you done with her?" Bledsoe screamed the words hysterically. His shattered nerves could stand no more. He threw caution to the winds, and with it went his carefully built-up structure of hypocritical Christian neer. "I left her here, you damned sneak, and she couldn't a' got away without help. Besides, she told me she'd stay till I come back, and Angie always would mind me. I had her trained to that anyways—" The sudden gasp from his open-mouthed audience stopped the words in his mouth. He realized what he had done. There was no need, now, for his mask. The only thing left for him was to make good his escapade from these people whose credulous faith he had used for his own satanic purpose. BLEDSOE SHOOTS THE KID He slipped out the deadly little black automatic that was always with him and started to back away. With the cry of an infuriated lion whose young has been menaced, Jason Conway sprang toward the recreating figure of the snarling, yellow villain. There was a sharp, cracking sound and the sinister little weapon spat a thin spurt of flame out of its evil mouth. The tall man lunged forward and caught the hand that held it just as three people emerged into the circle of trees from the opposite side. Not until he had wrenched the weapon from the clawing, clutching yellow hand and beaten its owner into whimpering submission. did Jason Conway turn to investigate the commotion behind him. AN ASTOUNDING SCENE The scene that greeted his eyes held him spellbound. On the ground where she had flung herself was Angie. The Chocolate Kid's head was in her lap, and with her scarf she was staunching the blood that flowed from a wound in his head. Beside her stood Zola, and hurrying from the hut came Barry, his weakly good-natured face anxious and in his hands a basin of water. Behind Zola, standing very straight and quietly authoritative, was the man who but a few minutes before had lolled in the doorway. OLD John Belling no longer, but John Cutting, come at last into his mankind again and waiting for the knowledge that would clear up the hazy points in the tragic mystery of his child's life. In his hand he held the locket on the thin gold chain. As Jason turned he heard Zola's consoling voice speaking to the frightened girl on the ground. "It's all right Angie; he is only stunned. It was only a flesh wound, thanks to Mr. Conway, the aim was not true." (Continued from Page 39) DRAW YOUR LOVED ONE FREE ADVICE Dear Friend: Are you lonely and blue for that sweetheart of yours?

The sixth grade classes are planning a trip to Washington while the 5th grades are anticipating visiting the capitol of Maryland. During the assembly period the children were shown movies. Two pictures were shown, "The Animals By Proxy," and "The Making Of Soap." A great deal of information was given the children which aided them in the many different subjects. The 4-B class is working out an art project in records. The class made a visit to Washington's Monument last Monday, after which many pictures were made illustrating the same. A monument is being modeled in clay. Miss Annie L. Martin is the teacher of art. MILES W. CONNOR. Principal ELLA. R. WONDER. Vice-Principal Mrs. Reuben Jones, teacher of the first grade at School No. 103, took her little folks to see Union Station and the B. and O. Station last week. This was in connection with her project on shelter. The children are constructing a city. They have talked about the types of buildings needed to make a city and had already made one excursion to observe some of the types. They were intensely interested in the station, especially the freight yard. The city is now in the process of construction. Miss Mary Watson, who has been capably filling Miss Nannie Gray's place during her illness, has started a moving picture project. The children are constructing a moving picture machine from cardboard boxes and are constructing the film from paper. The various films are based on the stories read in class. The project is used as a stimulant for their thought getting in reading, as a stimulant, for the reading of stories and as the basis of their art. It is a singularly interesting helpful and inspiring project. Miss Forrester's 3-B class, which visited the dairy some time ago with the intention of constructing one and of seeing the various processes passed through in order to prepare milk for consumption, are now constructing a dairy, which is nearing completion. Miss Carson's fourth grade pupils are preparing a special program on health, since this is Health Week. This is used to stimulate and encourage their reading, as they have made a collection of booklets on all phases of health from the Maryland Life Insurance Company. This is informational, instructive and interesting. The various History clubs are making silhouettes of the Early Ancestors of Europe. Pictures have been taken of these clubs and we hope you'll soon be able to see them.

DOUGLAS JOHNSON, Principa A special meeting of Platoon School No. 112 and Platoon School No. 122 was held in the auditorium of School No. 122 on Tuesday, March 19th, for the purpose of discussing problems common to the inter- mediate department of platoon schools. The problems were submitted by the teachers of School No. 123. They are as follows: 1. How can we better correlate the work of the homeroom with the work of the auditorium? 2. What can be done to keep the library work from overlapping the work in litera- ture? 3. How can the "left-handed child" be helped in hand-writing? 4. How should the X, Y, Z children he taken care of in their respective grades in geography, history and nature study?

How can the problem of management among the special teachers be solved without the aid of the homeroom teacher? 6. To what do you attribute the apparent indifference of the academic teachers to the home economic subjects? 7. Suggest effective correlations between the homeroom and special activities. After an introduction of the two faculties there was a lively discussion of the problems. The discussion was opened by Mrs. Jane Wilson. Interest ran high and much information was given and received by all present. There was a great store of facts given concerning correlation and overlapping of work and all were greatly benefited. A number of primary teachers of both schools were present. Misses Watts and Brownley, intermediate supervisors, were present and active in the discussion. Misses Hall Thomas and Mrs. Puryear of School No. 122 served as the committee. The meeting was sponsored by Miss Brownley, intermediate supervisor. A second meeting of the same nature will be held at School No. 112 in the near future. SCHOOL NO. 112. Preston St., near Druid Hill Ave. W. DOUGLAS JOHNSON, Principal The chorus periods are proving to be most interesting. The children thoroughly enjoy them. Both class and school spirit are developed to a high degree. Wednesday was a very full day. In the morning Dr. Stewart, sent to us by the Colgate Company, showed movies which taught the care of the teeth. There were two pictures, each developing the topic just mentioned. The lesson was put over well. Every boy and girl, from the kindergarten through the 6-A, sincerely thank the Colgate Company for making it possible that they should see these pictures. In the afternoon, the first period, our two 8-A. classes were hosts to two sixth grade classes from School No. 112, our sister platoon school. Other visitors present were Misses Watts and Brownley, intermediate supervisors, and Director Wood. A group of boys and girls of School No. 122 were selected because of their excellent work in literature and art. These children presented an original playlet entitled "A Visit to the Studio." This playlet proved to be most delightful and entertaining. The pupils in the studio told the history of the picture and story of the life of the seven artists: Pictures were loaned to us by the Baltimore Art Museum, to some friends of the teacher in the studio. The pictures were: The Madonna of the Chair, by Raphael Sarrzio; George Glisz — Hans Holbein (German); The Letter, by Jan Vermeer—Dutch; The Concert, by Gerald Toborch—Dutch; The Head of a Girl, by Domenico Vannetzo (Italian); A Woman Peeling Apples, by Peter De Hootch (Dutch); Infanta Maria Theresa, by Velasquez.

Struggling Hearts (Continued on Page 11) THE KID REPENTS And then the Kid's voice, weak but relessly humorous: "Don't worry, egie, girl: it'll never do to see a me kid like you left on the trash- lap. I'm gonna fly in to a justice like peace soon; the pilot gets here in the big plane, —" he looked into the pretty girl's wide eyes: I'm takin' you with me, eh?" He ruled weakly. "Can you get me and this skunk to the city right away, boy? I can't go back home to Nancy and let you know I've let the boy come to deal without nobody there to stand him, after this. If he ain't guilty this, I know that lying cur"—he turned the whimpering Anson with the toe of his great boot"—lied before. And to think I believed him and have let my own son lay in jail without a word of sympathy." Jason spoke to young Barry Dwane, who took his side. EXPLAINS ZOLA EXPLAINING But Zola answered: "Yes, Mr. Conway," she said. "We will go in the same car. I too, have something to do to help save David!" Her face was strangely pale as she spoke. John Belling Cutting stepped up inside her and laid his arm around her shoulder. "And I, too," he said. Come, Barry." "You will see that these young skins are taken care of till the place comes for them. Deacon, won't you?" Jason Conway turned his stern gaze onto the cowering little black Deacon Brown, who had come so blithely confident in the immaculate infallibility of the cringing creature at his. "I sho' will. Brother Conway," earnily accrued the crestfallen little man, with a look of unspeakable concern in his fallen 'dol. ELEPSOE DISCOVERED As the four people disappeared award the automobile waiting in the woods road, with the stalwart son dragging the fifth by the collar his coat, the crowd that had been damned by the confident Anson rose to witness the final scene of a triumphant villainy, jeered loudly at the fallen model of virtue and vessel of evil. The greater number of spectators the trial of David Conway were to lunch when the great black drew up before the jail. Barry was only within a minute before he back as to the waiting occupants the car to tell them that David's wer was in his chambers and if he hurried they could see him be-we went back to court. DAVIDS FATHER REGRETS The secretary for the youthful over who had been assigned to tend the boy assured the tall, prone man that the attorney was yet with a client and would be able to see him before he went tourt. But John Belling Cutting, in voice that was at once reassuring and authoritative, suggested that they sit anyway and see him as he came in. So, in spite of the young secretary, the four sat down, glad to have a moment's rest after the delivery of the quaking Anson into the hands of the law and before the furter ordeal of the court session were the man must make his peace on the son whom he knew he had conquered. Suddenly the murmur of voices from beyond the ground-glass par- son ceased. There was a scraping chairs and the door opened. Ellen rison, flushed of face and eager- stood on the threshold, and the mur lawyer, equally eager and special, faced her. In his hand he had several sheets of closely writ- ter. at sight of those papers Zola's beautiful golden face went pale. They were the papers she had left Nancy Conway. But only for a moment did the pallor linger. With sudden flush she stepped up 'to the long man. "Do you think it would better for me to give myself upough you or at the jail? I WROTE AT CONFESSION" She added last at the lock of bewildered injury on the face of the attorney. At the words a silence fell on all the room. Only John Belling Cutg stepped up very close to the under young figure and laid an arm gently and protectingly around his shoulders. The girl trembled softly then in a clear voice went OTT'S PERFIDY REVEALED Big Ott hated my mother. I know it it was because he could not have will with her. I was grown be- lief.

I used to hear voices late at night, when a man would bring provisions out to the back and talk to my mother through the door. I learned later that it was Big Ott, and he pretended he was my mother's friend. It was he who told her my father had cast us off and persuaded her to go with him to another city, with the promise of finding her work. When she would not do as he wished he beat her. But always she kept the baby that had been that other woman's—the baby who is Parry here, now. And always she was sweet and tender to me, was my mother. But she did not know how to earn her living, and so she was at the mercy of Big Ott, who would be gone for days at a time and return with money or jewelry that he tried to make her take, but she would take nothing but food and shelter for us. ZOLA FLACKMAILED "Then, one day, I gave Barry a cup of tea to take to my mother when she was ill, and after she drank it she—died! When I was sixteen I started to leave and go out to make a decent living for myself. It was then Ott told me Barry—had—given—my—own—mother—poison in that cup. He told me if I left him he would send Barry to the gallows, and I would be sent to the penitentiary as an accessory after the fact. It was this fear that has kept me silent all these years. I promised him that when Barry was of age I would marry him, and then—I met David. I knew all the details of the riot for that bank robbery in which the watchman was killed. Ott boasted to me of having killed him, but—I could not tell that without making the other confession and—sending Barry to the gallows and myself to the penitentiary." She ceased and stood verv-still. The eyes of the four people were dazed, bowdlered. Then the lawyer laughed. There was mirth and genuine humor in that laugh. It semed incongruous, following the grave and tragic tale of the girl before him. "Apple sauce!" he said, and his voice was relieved. 'Why, girl, don't you know that tale will only serve to put the honorable Ott entirely out of the way? If it is true—which I doubt—that something in the tea killed your mother, HE is the criminal, not you innocent kids. Besides the killing of the watchman is enough to send him where he wants to send my client." Without a word John Cutting folded his daughter in his arms. "So that was why you let me go on believing that your mother really left me for that skunk!" he said at last. as he kissed her hair softly. HAPPINESS "Dearly beloved, we are gathered together here in the sight of God, and in the face of this company to join together this man and this woman." The soft light of the candles seemed to glow with a more radiant softness on the faces of the woman and man at the foot of the high white altar. Nancy Conway snuggled her wrinkled fingers into the hard but tender fingers of her husband, Jason, and her eyes were bright with happy tears as she whispered: "Our struggling hearts at last have won to peace through great tribulations." David and Zola, with raptured faces, saw nor heard nothing but the priest before them. But John Cutting nodded at the low-spoken words and glanced tenderly at young Barry standing so proudly as best man beside stalwart David. Then his eves wandered to where Angie sat with her baby in her arms and the Chocolate Kid protectingly by her side. "Struggling hearts," he echoed. "Ave, at last they have found peace."

The book of this all colored revue was written by Louis Isquith, the producer, while the lyrics are by Perry Bradford, the music by Jimmy Johnson. It was this well known trio that were responsible for both "Shuffle Along" and "Runnin' Wild," In the cast of "Messin' Around," are such well known names as Sterling Grant, Hilda Pereleno, Corn La Redd, the Ebony Trio, the Three Harmony Sisters, Paul C.

Cora La Redd came over from London, a sensation in comedy and song, to appear in "Messin' Around." While in London, Miss La Redd was tagged the "Chocolate Nutt," a name that will most likely stick to her throughout the remainder of her theatre career. Sterling Grant also is not long back from London, where he scored the success of his entire career. It was while playing in London at Mrs. James Corrigan, the sister-in-law of J. Pierpont Morgan, saw young Grant work and picked upon him to entertain at a special dinner given in honor of H. R. H. the Prince of Whales. The Prince left his seat at the banquet table to cross the hall to the entertainers rostrum, in order to congratulate Grant on his remarkable voice. Mr. Grant was chosen by Mrs. Corrigan from out of a company of 120 artists then appearing at the Empire in London. Mable Horsey Injured While en route to the Fox Case Studios, Tuesday, Mable.

Another Comedy Find Charles Moore, who made his Broadway debut last week at the Embassy theatre, in an all-white cast. "The Trial of Mary Dugan," is claimed by New York critics, to give Stepin Fechit a close run for first honors, as a colored screen comedian. Charles Moore was the studio boot-black before Paramount gave him a contract for this picture, and for years was valet to the late Wallace Reid From: COLORED PLAYERS FILM CORP. To: The Members of the Negro Churches of Baltimore. SUBJECT Invitation to see the greatest picture with an all-star colored cast ever made: "The Scar of Shame," featuring the beautiful Lucia Moses. The Colored Film Corporation is desirous of having the Negro population of Baltimore see this race picture, which contains all the elements of the latest motion picture developments, with a high-class and well-trained all-Negro cast. The picture is not a comedy or a "slap" at the Negro. but rather shows his progress in the scheme of civilization,—having racial and moral interest. It is, therefore, the duty of the Negro population to patronize this great Negro production, which will give inspiration to our sons and daughters, and also open avenues of opportunity to our race. "Scar of Shame" will be shown at the Royal theatre, 1329 Pennsylvania avenue, during the week of April 15 to 20. Yours sincerely. E. R. HAZELL. D. C. P. F. C. C 江河 Here they are!

Colleges; Likes Our Trade Schools. PREJUDICE DETESTABLE West Africa Has Nothing to Learn from U. S. LONDON, England - Speaking before the West African Students' Union of Great Britain at Bayswater, W.2, Prof. C. A. E. Macauley, African assistant director of education, of Sierra Leone, West Africa, said that the people of the United States are money mad. "So great is this passion for getting money," he adds, "that it affects the morals of the people." Visited Forty-Two Colleges In course of his address, Mr. Macaulay, who is a graduate of Durham and Oxford Universities in England, mentioned that he made a tour of the United States and visited forty-two colleges, including Tuskegee Institute, where he had the honor of meeting Dr. R. R. Moton and many other educators. Negro and white. Asked what he thought of the social conditions there, he said: "I do not think West Africa has much to learn from American academic training, but their industrial or vocational training is simply amazing. They could turn anything into some great use; they make use of the pig in every way except the squeal." After lauding the American Negro for his wonderful progress since the abolition of slavery, he made a scathing criticism of the caste system which obtains in the United States by adding that although the country is materially prosperous, "the atmosphere engendered by racial feelings is very trying. Personally, I absolutely detest it."

The hard knocks of an extraordi- nary life mever once unnerved oF swerved him from his purpose, but rather it steeled his nerves and gave Ihim the courage of she lion-hearted. Fate placed Albert Pope in one of America’s most colorful cities—Los Angeles. Los Angeles is a doorway to the -Orient, and a threshold of the Mexi- can border, therefore, it is one of th? best possible locales for persons of the underworld; insomuch that most bad men, like buzzards to the slaugh- ter, flock at some time in their caree= to_this city, Los Angeles—where such men and women as the killer, Hickman; the ape-man, Northcutt; the hammer- murderess, Clara Phillips, and many others have sown their lood-red crimes—bold men and fearless, are needed to strengthen the arms of the aw. Everyone in the sneriff's office— from the highest to ihe lowest, from the captain of the force to the ele- vator boy—must be fearless <id. more, he must be alert and efficient and true as a die, for any moment might bring a call fcr him to pit Lis sterling worth against studied cun- ning, cupidity and the vilest crime. The sheriff's office had much to Jo jocating a competent and courageous operator for Clevator No. 9. One would never know that this iron- bound cage was to become @ death trap. ‘Albert Pore was chosen for this job, and *nce again Fate placed thé right man in the right job. In a short while he had made an unparalleled record for himself, for he became the means of ‘preventing many desperate prisoners from escap- ing. It was a common occurren*e for him to receive ‘etlers of con- -gratulation from high city officials. Once a letter of commendation from the chief jailer was sent to the High Sheriff, citing his ‘wnusual efficiency, -bravery and courage. This man, who was once the ambitious lad” who plaved policeman in Ais parents’ bazk yard, was now winning, slowly but surely, the recognition of a large city’s entire police force. Prompted by his stccess. Mr. Pope took the civil service examination required of applicants for the office of deputy sheriff for the city of Los Angeles, and pase with unusually fieh marks; but owing to a rule which autumatically drops eligibles after a certain period of time. he did net receive an appointment until Fate stepped in to take the part of this capable and ambitious young man. One day in January Albert Pops surpassed even his usual courageous- ness. when almost single-handed hi prevented the escape ‘Of one of the deadliest men in. criminal annals Upon that day Jack Hawkins, 3 life- termer, with drawn gun and deadly intent. made his last desperate at- tempt to fight and slay his way te Hiberty, An accomplice in this deadly effort, Robert (“Zeke”) Hayes, also @ fife-termer, was chained to Hawkin: and attempted to make a shield 0: his own body for his comrade ix their foolhardy attempt to escape. ‘Both men had been brought fror their prison, home in’ the Folsor penitentiary to give evidence in an- tther criminal case in Los Angeles They wert accompanied by two dep- uty’ sheriffs—for it was commor knowledge that bott. of these des- —_—_—_—_—_— AM ig ‘A Message to ig ; Underweight °" | Un lerweight | Men and Women ‘ "The one. supremely good health “puilding tonic that is also Wie one erent ‘weight producer known to _racdern Neience the country over is McCoy's ‘Tablets. “Take them for a few weeks and the tholiows In your cheeks. your neck and “chest should soon fill out end whether iyou be man or woman you may have ‘an attractive figure and plenty. of “set ithere” energy in just a short time. ‘Many times the increase in weight ie ‘astonighing—one exceedingly thin won ‘an gained 10 pounds in 22 days. recoy takes all the risk—Read this Yon-elad guarantes, If alter taking 4 isixty cent boxes of McCoy's Tablets or 12, One Dollar boxes any thin, under. tweight man or woman docen't gain at ileast 5 pounds and: feel completely sat- jisfliea with the -marked Improvement in heaith—-your money will be returned.

Hence everything was done to safeguerd against an- other attempt, Pope was attending to his duties in the pron cage when he heard the words: “Stick ‘em up, all of you!” Instantly alert, Pope wheeled and jn a mad burst. of courageous trick- ery, seized the desperate Hawkins by his right arm, endeavoring to turn the’ point of the gun toward .the criminal himself. .. As Pope grappled with the crazed prisoner, Hawkins fired. The bullet ploughed through Pope’s clothing, struck his shoulder-bone, . glanced onward and came out at the back of his neck. -Anyone who knows any- thing about shooting knows that de- flected bullets take. peculiar courses. Pope was‘ not dangerously S.urt, and with “superhuman strength he continued to wrestle with the blood- thirsty ‘criminal. and at the same time eluding being shot by the, deadly fire that at once began to spit from the two deputies’ gats. The prison cage was a seething inferno of fire and mad men for sev- eral seconds. Hawkins slumped to the floor—a helpless man, and “2 beaten one, His confederate sank beside him, both losers in a mad at- tempi to escape justice. ot Tt was then that Pope released his hold. He saw that. one ‘of the brave deputies ‘lay at his feet in a Pool of blocd.
