Action Solemn In almost solemn silence Bishop A. L. Caines called the committee to the front of the church and asked its chairman, the Rev. William H. Thomas, pastor of Metropolitan A. M.E. Church, Washington, D.C., to break the seal. He cautioned the body that there must be no demonstration and the following verdict was read: In view of the conviction of the Rev.

Kneeling: Eugene Semedo, Jos. Delgado, Manuel Silva, Ambrose Mondeiro. These men are the personnel from the foundered collier, "James E. Coburn." sailing April 1, carrying coal from Baltimore to Port au Prince, Haiti. They were found agrift in an open boat 250 miles off Bermuda, by the million dollar yatch "Amida," owned by Ernest Behrand. For nine days eleven men making up a groaning cargo of despair tossed in an open lifeboat with the shriek of death in the gale that swept the Atlantic and with madness creeping ever closer. And just as rescue came the man at the rudder, W. Saunders, a cook, stiffened and died from exposure, while the others with the light of madness in their eyes, huddled about him as their frail craft was tossed and lashed by the wrath of the sea. When the collier foundered, J. Pereira, the master, ordered all of the crew into the one lifeboat, unrigged and affording no protection from the storm. The men tried to row, to head for land 250 miles away. But the sea set their efforts at naught, and all they could do was to keep her afloat and pray. Their water was soon gone. And then the men became on edge and covertly looked at one another. They tried to signal, but none saw their flag of distress. And for nine days and nights they drifted alm- lessly and helplessly in the trough as they were tossed like a cork on the water. And the little crew, with death in command, drifted on and then suddenly appeared the yacht Amida and effected a rescue. When saved the 20-foot boat had covered 150 miles toward land. The men said the Bible and prayer sustained them. FLORIDA GIRL IN FLYING CLUB JACKSONVILLE. Fla.

Bullock, pastor of the First Baptist Church, charged with being the father of an illegitimate child, was held up until the afternoon session, when it was found that James Davis, the most important defense witness, could not be found. Judge R. A. Nunn told lawyers to appear back in court at 2:30 while a special capias was given to an officer for a search for Davis. The defense contended at the other trial that Davis and not the minister is the father of the child. Rev. Mr. Bullock seemed almost alone. Members of the Shaw University faculty and Berry O'Kelly, who were witnesses at the other trials were not noted Monday. CULLENS APART; BRIDE REMOVES WEDDING RING Poet Leaves Yolande DuBois and Ma-in-law in Paris, and Flits to London. MANY STORIES FLY Paris Recalls Groom Came Abroad With Best Man. PARIS, France. (Special) Countce Cullen has gone to England, leaving his wife and Mrs. W. E. B. DuBois, his mother-in-law, behind, both of whom are living at the Hotel Trianon, rue de Maine. They dine at the Coupole. Mrs. Cullen has been seen here without her wedding-ring, and she told a friend that the match had been made by her parents and those of her husband's. There seems little probability that the two will get together again, as there seems to be no love, but perhaps plenty of friendship. The two, it is reported, will be returning to America in o told a friend that the match had been made by her parents and those of her husband's. There seems little probability that the two will get together again, as there seems to be no love, but perhaps plenty of friendship. The two, it is reported, will be returning to America in a few months while Countee will remain in Europe perhaps indefinitely. He went to London, it is said, because he wanted to be free to do his work. It must be something serious as he is very fond of Paris. There is much scandalous talk. People are pointing to the singular fact that Mr. Cullen came on his honeymoon to France not with his bride, but with his best man. The story of the separation is well-known here. The poet is quoted as saying that his wife will bring a lot of presents to her next husband, as the many pres fact that Mr. Cullen came on his honeymoon to France not with his bride, but with his best man. The story of the separation is well-known here. The poet is quoted as saying that his wife will bring a lot of presents to her next husband, as the many presents they received all belong to the bride. Nor does he conceal his intention to marry again. The wedding does not seem to have been a love match. It was a marriage something like that of the French marriage de convenance, without the psychology of the French to make the match a success. Mrs. Cullen is on leave of absence from her position as teacher of art in the Douglass high school of Baltimore. —PAGE SEVEN "Jo" Baker Loved in Vain by Ardent Would-Be Suicide American Woman Annoys 'Jo' Baker, Adjudged Insane Frenchman's Wife Stripped Nude and Played Clarinet Outside Apartment of Colored Entertainer to Make Her Move. Engineer Suicide An Associated Press dispatch from Zagreb, Croatia, April 29 states: White woman who imitated "Jo" in this pose is in Insane Asylum. Because Josephine Baker, American ccolored dancer, rejected his protestations of love, Alexius Groh, white, a young engineer, stabbed himself in the chest at the dancer's feet in the theater exit here last night. Doctors hope to save him. Josephine continues to dance. PARIS. (Special)—Mme. Duminy, white and rich, born in America but married to a white Frenchman, is in the insane asylum trying through lawyers to get out. In 1927 while Miss Josephine Baker, colored cabaret singer, was starring at the Moulin Rouge she occupied a luxurious apartment on the Champs Elysees. As neighbor she had Mme. Duminy, who objected strenuously to Miss Baker's complexion and wished her ejected from the building. Mme. Duminy hails from San Francisco, and was formerly Vera Schulte. Very wealthy—she has an income of $40,000 a year—she cahe to Paris and married a former garage-keeper. Paraded Nude When Miss Baker refused to budge from her apartment, Mme. Duminy bought a clarinet and marched nude up and down the hallway serenading Miss Baker with shrill notes each time she came in. Neighbors all joined in the treat that was intended for Miss Baker, and the result of it all was that Mme. Duminy was sent to the Insane Asylum at Vanves. "Mme. Duminy is not insane," lawyers declare. "Her drinking and eating in copious quantities brought on an unusually gay and nervous state, which prompted her to act as she did. She did not make a noise in the hallways. At most she stuck her head out of the doorway and ran off a few notes to vex Miss Baker." Hubby Says She's "Dippy" On the other hand M. Duminy alleges that his wife is completely irresponsible; that she did annoy Miss Baker, and tried to have her ejected from the building. He will have many witnesses on hand when the case comes up in the First Chamber of the Palace of Justice this week. DR. HOPE ACCEPTS OFFER TO HEAD A.U.

Logan, head of the history and foreign language department at Virginia Union University, protested the use of white principals in Negro schools at a meeting of the Nu Chapter, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, here, Sunday. Prof. Logan stated that he had put the matter up to superintendent of public schools, A. H. Hill, but had failed to receive a satisfactory reply. Especially did the professor bitterly denounce the few race teachers who expressed a preference for white principals. Sat on Boy Friend's Hat WILMINGTON, Del.

Her anger was aroused when she noticed the Count kissing the hand of another dancer with a little too much emphasis. "The Count" went down at the first throw, and it is reported that his head received several severe bruises. RALEIGH, N.

Alexis, colored of Guadoue loupe; and three ladies, one of whom is Miss Rappoport. of the U.S. A the door the party was stopped by a attendant. who said that no Negroes were admitted; that McKay and M. Alexis must remain ut but that the rest of the party could go in. Seeking out the manager, McKay protested to him. "Oh," the late declared, according to McKay, "what are you kicking about? We treat you people here in France better than in America. I have orders not to be in any. Negroes as we are not looking for trouble." England Like U. S. McKay says that that is the second time he has been refused service in France. The other place was in Nice when he and a white Southerner were barred from a place frequented by American sailors. He is accustomed to like incidents in England he said. But the incident will perhaps not end there. M. Alexis, who is a French citizen, says that he intend taking up the matter with his representative in Parliament. M. Candace, Deputy from Gaudeloupe. Padlocked for a Year Some years ago when Prince Koje Touvalou-Houenou of Dahomey was ejected from a Montmartre cabaret at the request of American tourists, the place was padlocked for one year M Alexis is indignant over the affair. He says that it is the first time he has been so insulted in France. He called the writer's attention to a sign that is posted at the door of cabaret, reading: "No Dogs Allowed." Rogers Admitted On the following evening the writer sought entrance to the cabaret and was welcomed by the doorman with that eagerness which is characteristic of employees in such places in France. But he is light in complexion, and the European eye possesses less skill than the American one for detecting persons of color. Moreover, many of the French from the South of France are very dark in color. In France and even in England it is only obviously dark persons who are deemed Negroes, generally speaking.

CO-EDS CALL ON NEW CONGRESSMAN AT CAPITOL THE CONFERENCE COST $12,000 TO HOLD ELKS' MEET IN NEW YORK CITY $6,000 Spent for Lawyers' Fees, Is Termed Extrava-gance. POLITICS INVOLVED Huge Sum Termed Politics to Get Support for Wilson. CHICAGO, Ill. Sheridan A. Bruseaux, head of the Keystone National Detective Agency, who is making an investigation of Elk affairs for prominent Elks, among whom is said to be Casper Holstein, candidate for grand exalted ruler, Monday denounced as extravagance and waste of Elk funds, the payment of a fee of $6,000 to Pope B. Billups and Francis E. Rivers, New York attorneys, for their services in connection with the vacating of an injunction against the Elks in New York State, as disclosed by the minutes of the 1928 Elks convention held here last August. The political operations of Grand Excalled Ruler J. Finley Wilson, declared Brusseaux, were responsible for the expenditure of more than $12,500 in order that the 1927 grand lodge might be held in New York after that city had been selected at the meeting in Cleveland the previous year. Mr. Brusseaux pointed out that the injunction against the order restraining it from using a name so closely resembling that of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks had been obtained in New York State in 1904. Elks Still Used Name. "Notwithstanding this injunction," he said. "the subordinate lodges of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World had been permitted to continue as an organization under its original name without molestation by the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks and they were then holding their meetings and transacting their business under their original corporate names." He pointed out that the resolution of the grand lodge to hold its 1927 meeting in New York City had been adopted after invitations had been received from the Mayor and other city officials of the City of New York and that the grand lodge of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks had given permission for the convention to be held in that city. The whole trouble arose. Mr. Bruseaux stated, out of fear by Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson of the opposition of Elk lodges in New York City to his re-election. The grand exalted ruler threatened to change the meeting place in order to force those lodges to support him, Mr. Bruseaux charged. There was very little legal work involved in the vacating of the New York injunction. Mr. Bruseaux said. He recalled that the New York lodges obtained an order restraining the grand exalted ruler from carrying out his proclamation changing the meeting place to Cleveland. A hearing was had before United States District Judge E. D. Clark in Newark. N.J., on the injunction proceedings of the New York lodges and a hearing was also had before Justice Tavier of the New York Supreme Court in White Plains on a motion to vacate the injunction of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. Billups and Rivers with Grand Legal Adviser Perry W. Howard participated in these proceedings. They rendered no other legal services for the fee of $5,000, which, according to the minutes, was paid them. Mr. Brusaux stated.

HAYNES A FISK TRUSTEE NASHVILLE, Tenn — At a meeting of the board of trustees of Fisk University held at Nashville on Saturday, April 20, Dr. George E.

The other alumni trustees are: D. F. A. Stewart of Nashville, Dr. Wil- He would have gone to Europe and South America to further extend the fraternity, says Mr. Wilson, but "for the scurrilous attacks made on our fraternity." Won't Go Abroad He states that "after reading the lies, made out of the whole cloth, attacking our noble order, I concluded that my place was in this country so that I could better defend it against the hireling of the brothers who are out and want to get in. "One Sheridan Bruseaux, the head of some kind of detective agency, is the instrument that is being used in the endeavor to embarrass our fraternity. This man with his inordinate desire to get his name in print has had published libelous statements in the Negro press of the country. Those who have read these statements cannot fail to observe the motives back of them. "We hope that Mr. Bruseaux will be as willing to have his record examined in the courts of Illinois and Missouri as your grand exalted ruler is to have the books of the Elks examined. I will meet him and his employers at Philippi, and if his memory of the record fails him I will refreshen it. When I do, the information I shall give to the world will increase the demand and the price of newspapers. "I need not tell you that the grand exalted ruler does not handle any funds at the grand lodge session nor does he handle any funds during the recess of the session. Our monies are received by the grand secretary who in turn forwards same to the grand treasurer, who deposits the money to the credit of the grand lodge. Safety System "When the money is to be drawn out a voucher and check are drawn on the grand lodge funds by the grand secretary and the same are forwarded to the grand exalted ruler who inspects, signs and forwards to the grand treasurer who returns the check to the grand secretary for distribution. "Therefore, it is plain to any sane brother Elk that the grand exalted ruler could not squander your funds. Were he to attempt such a despicable crime he would need the collusion of the grand secretary and the grand treasurer. "Every dollar that is paid out is voted by the grand lodge. I challenge the world to prove to the contrary. "Of the ambitious and wilful brothers who aspire to the office of grand exalted ruler we say the organization is demanding to know what have they done and what are they doing now?" DETROIT, Mich.

"INTENT" CGNSIDERED Wife Thought Herself Free When Rewed First Hubby. PHILADELPHIA — Enoch Vawter, well known barber of 20 Chestnut street, was ordered by Judge John M. Walsh of the Municipal Court to pay a weekly sum to Lula Vawter, his wife, for her support and that of their two children, Lewis and Harriett. The support order came as a distinct surprise to Mr. Vawter, who through white counsel attempted to establish that his marriage to Mrs. Vawter was bigamous and therefore he was not liable for her support. The Vawters were first married in Washington, D.C., in 1903. One child, Lewis, was born as the result of this marriage. Mrs. Vawter divorced Mr. Vawter in 1910 and married Frank M. Steele of Cincinnati, Ohio. She subsequently divorced Steele but the decree was not entered until a few days after Mrs. Vawter remarried Enoch Vawter in 1925. Mrs. Vawter contended that she did not know this fact when she remarried Vawter in December, 1925, but upon later learning it she told her husband; who advised her to tell no one and agreed with her that they would continue to live as man and wife. This they did until last spring, when Mr. Vawter finding his wife was soon to become a mother deserted her. Mrs. Vawter went to her sister in Columbus, Georgia, where a daughter was born. Letters were read in court written to Mrs. Vawter while in Georgia by Mr. Vawter telling Mrs. Vawter not to come back to Philadelphia because he never intended to live with her again. Quite a sensation was created when counsel for Mrs. Vawter read a letter written by Mr. Vawter's "Wife at Heart," the cause of Mr. Vawter's change of heart. The court found that although Mrs. Vawter's divorce had not become final when she remarried Enoch Vawter, that a valid contract had been made between them to live as man and wife and that they were lawfully wed. Mrs. Vawter was represented by Sadie T. M. Alexander. DREAM BOOKS! New York Clearing House Dream Book 35c New York Clearing House Report 35c H. P.

Bill Introduced to Oust Froe THE BROWNING MURDER Something horrible has happened. A prominent man who is known to have no enemy is a victim of a fiendish murder. His headless body is found in his room, with no clue to the killer. Undoubtedly some person of a murderous mania has foully and inhumanly killed an innocent man. In some mysterious and uncanny manner an almost "perfect" crime has been committed. Not even a suspect is found. The police are baffled. All of this is contained in the Browning Murder, a startling, gripping, two-part, swiftly moving story beginning in 6 SIMMONS IS AFTER ARTHUR FROE AGAIN SIMMONS IS AFTER ARTHUR FROE AGAIN Republican Congressman Introduced Measure to Make Recorder's Office Local. WASHINGTON, D.C. (CNS) Congressman Robert G. Simmons, of Nebraska, chairman of the District Subcommittee, of the House Appropriations Committee, has begun a new campaign to place the office of the District Recorder of Deeds under the control of the District Commissioners. Simmons began this fight during hearings on the District Appropriations bill at the last session of Congress. The change was bitterly opposed by Arthur G. Froe, the recorder of deeds. The bill to accomplish this purpose stipulates that the recorder of deeds, and all employees in his office, shall be appointed by, and under the control of the Commissioners. It also provides that all appropriations for the recorder's office shall be extended and accounted for as in other Distric department Emmett "The Simmons bill, if passed." says Dr. Emmett J. Scott, "would tend to eliminate colored Republicans from appointment to the office of recorder oi deeds and reduce that office to the level prevailing in the various other departments of the municipal government, there being, it is stated, not more than three or four clerkships filled by members of our group in the entire city government." John R. Hawkins John R. Hawkins, who is the president of the Prudential Bank and chairman of the colored voters division of the Republican National Committee expressed unqualified disapproval of the Simmons' bill and went on record as favoring its defeat "in order that the office can remain as it is, under the direction of the President and subject to his appointment." Others who are opposed to any change in the method of appointment of the recorder of deeds include, William L. Houston, and Armond W. Scott, J. Finley Wilson, ruler of the Elks; Dr. A. M. Curtis, physician and surgeon, and the Rev. W. H. Jernagin, pastor of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church. Those who are sponsoring the bill deny that they have any desire to have the office filled by any other than a colored man. Herbert D. Brown, chief of the Bureau of Efficiency, who caused this bill to be introduced, says that his only interest is to "make the office so efficient that it can be pointed to as a model recorder's office, and reflect credit not only upon the head of the office but upon the colored race as a whole."

Treatment by Mail-$2.00 Correction The Editor, AFRO-AMERICAN: In reporting the Branch case in your last week's issue, you state that I was assisted by William M. Lawrence, Esq., who was appointed by Baltimore County. This is an inaccuracy. The reverse of that statement is true. The crime for which Branch was indicted was alleged to have been committed in Baltimore County. Mr. Lawrence was appointed by the Circuit Court of Baltimore County to defend Branch Sensing the gravity of the offense charged and the inflammatory condition of the people at Towson, M. he at once moved for a change of venue and the case was sent to Baltimore for trial. Certain situations developed which caused him to apply to Judge Stein, sitting in the Criminal Court of Baltimore City, for assistance, with the result that I was appointed to assist him. In this case, Mr. Lawrence was chief counsel and I was his assistant and in fairness, let me record that apart from the very valuable services rendered by him in the preparation of the case, it was due to his tactful and skillful cross examination of the prosecuting witness that the State's case wobbled and tottered.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—(Exclusively for the AFRO-AMERICAN) The Census of Religious Bodies, for 1926, shows nine denominations in its consolidated report of Presbyterian churches. One of these denominations, the Colored Cumberland Church, is officered and controlled entirely by Negroes. Of the other eight, which are controlled by white officials . three, the United Presbyterian Church of North America, the Presbyterian Church in the United States; and the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America; all have local church organizations which are composed of colored members. With a total of 1,894,030 members in 8947 local church organizations in the last named denomination, 37,090 are colored members that belong to 450 separate local organizations. A general summary of the statistics of these Negro churches, for 1926, is presented in the following table, which shows distribution of these figures between Urban and Rural territory; and comparative figures for 1926 and 1904. The reported membership of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America consists of those persons only, who have been baptized. are in full communion and in good standing in the local churches.

JONES Shall We Scrap Fraternal Orders? The annual squabble over emoluments and plums in the Elks' organization again raises the question: Is it not about time that the race should scrap all fraternal organizations? There was a time when these bodies served a really useful purpose, and their deeds deserve preservation in enduring monuments; but like many other institutions, they have about outlived their usefulness. Not only this, they stand in the way of more efficient organizations and utilize a vast amount of racial energy. When you analyze the activities of fraternal organizations and contrast them with the millions of dollars spent throughout the country each year to keep them going, you will have to concede that they are not only a tremendous waste; but, save to provide fat salaries for a few men and women, they have no functions which can not be done better by more modern machinery already in existence. Take their insurance and sick benefit feature, for instance. It costs a man, known to this writer, $28 annually to keep up in one of our big and well known fraternal organizations. He is 24 years of age and if he lives until he is 70 (and all goes well with the organization), at death he will receive $300 or less. The same amount placed in a modern insurance policy, would yield three times as much. Some of the organizations, the Elks for instance, have entered the educational field and provide a number of scholarships and promote a number of educational centers. All of this is good, but the amount of money spent in this department-properly placed would provide the same advantages to twenty times as many as is provided through the organization. The salary of one man on the commission would finance all that is done, were it done by an educational foundation. The fact is, in this day of specialization, insurance companies are better suited to promote and administer insurance than fraternal officials, many of whom do not know the first principles of modern insurance.

If by some magic wand we could transform all fraternal organizations into cooperative business institutions over night, they would be in a field not now covered by some modern organizations; but, following the old lines they have followed in the past, they are not only obsolete, but criminally wasteful. The money spent on fraternal organizations throughout the country each year will run into millions. In one week last year, the Elks spent $150,000, including side entertainments, for a grand lodge session—not mentioning railroad fares and board bills. A single parade in Baltimore costs around $500; and, during the parade season, they are held almost daily. Here is a challenge to fraternal leaders to scrap old objectives, programs and methods, and use the power of organization these bodies afford for constructive business development.

In any city in the far South Branch, to ten years' imrisonget off with a decent hanging. But here in Baltimore, white and colored, men and women, including the girl and her parents, sat throughout the trial without the least show of mob emotion. This writer, sitting thru gh a part of this trial—ably conducted by colored and white counsel and fairly prosecuted by an able State's attorney—could not help reflecting on the fundamental justice exhibited in the Baltimore criminal courts. There was no colored man in that court room who, hearing the testimony, and sitting on the jury, would have meted out less punishment than Branch received. But there is law in Maryland; and in Baltimore it must be said that the Supreme Bench of the criminal court follows that law without regard to race or station. If our churches, our business establishments and governmental machinery, followed as stricly the path of justice and freedom from racial prejudice as do the courts, this would be a city of which every citizen might be proud.

We are not without hope that Negro disciples will wear befittingly, the mantle dropped by their philanthropic preceptors. By KELLY MILLER The Passing of the Philanthropists. Few of the readers of this release have ever heard of Dr. Daniel S. Lamb. His life and labors were limited mainly to the District of Columbia. He typified and embodied the spirit of philanthropy which was born of the Civil War. Shortly after graduating from college he enlisted in the Union Army and became attached to the hospital service and devoted his long life to the sacr use of health. He became curator of the Medic. Museum and ranked among the best known autopsical experts of the country. The post-mortem examination of President Garfield and Vice-President Wilson were performed by him. At Howard "U" When the Howard University Medical School was organized, Dr. Lamb became attached to the teaching staff where he served for fifty years, for the most time as professor of anatomy. A large proportion of the Negro doctors of the country learned their knowledge of the human structure under his tuition. He was retired from this chair in 1923 on account of advanced years. Dr. Lamb brought to his work, not only scientific equipment, but also that philanthropic attitude which was absolutely necessary to plant medical knowledge in the new field. Together with a group of kindred spirits of whom he was the last survivor he labored in and out of season, without money or reward to impart to the Negro student the requisite foundation for the practice of medicine. These stout hearts and brave souls had to face social and professional ostracism by reason of their altruistic devotion. But they never swerved or falfered. All of these men were eminent in their professions, so that they were enabled to devote their days to a livelihood and their nights to teaching their Negro students, without hope or expectation of reward. Dr. Lamb's philanthropical devotion held the keen edge of interest for fifty-five years. Truly he finished his course and kept the faith. In grateful appreciation of his long and sacrificial service, the medical alumni of Howard University who came under his instruction, by subscription, placed a brass tablet in the New Medical Building as a slight memorial of his life's labor of service and love. Passed from Stage. The passing of Dr. Lamb reminds us that the generation whose spirit he typified has all but wholly passed from the stage of action. The work which they inaugurated is now falling into other hands. The New England philanthropists who founded and fostered Howard, Fisk, Atlanta, Lincoln, Shaw and the rest of our schools and colleges have rested from their labors and their works do follow them. Their work must now be carried on largely, if not mainly, by their Negro disciples whom they initiated into their secret and method. Transition always involves loss. The black disciples have not always caught the full measure of the spirit of sacrifice and altruistic devotion which characterized their whites preceptors. Indeed, the philanthropists who inaugurated this work represented the highest expression of altruistic devotion which America has witnessed. They touched the highest attained level of religion and philanthropy focussing on a human task. Religion the Key The whole fabric of Negro education is on a cusp. There is a haitus between the old and the new. The old foundation knew exactly upon what solid rock it was built. Religion was at the key of the arch. The whole educational world is now floundering for an objective. Wherefore and what for? are unanswered queries in the mind of the present day pedagogue. In the main we are now carrying on the process without knowing definitely whence or why. The educational world awaits an objective and ideal which the fathers and founders felt sure they had found. The mantle of power and direction is falling on Negro shoulders at such a time as this. Great and heavv is the assumed responsibility. The New Negro educator misses all but wholly the religious conviction and devotion of the philanthropists whom he succeeds. He must formulate an ideal in the midst of a time when ideals are crumbling. Our youth in high schools and colleges must form their views of the end and object of life from these colored principals and presidents who themselves are torn by so many complexities and uncertainties. The leaders themselves are not sure in which direction they are going. And yet such is Lincoln University holds on to white teachers. Howard and First adhere to mixed faculties. Morehouse and Wilberforce have white Negro teachers. State colleges are city high schools are operated by colored staffs. But the whole crisis and tendency is towards Negro pedagogical self-direction. This made inevitable because the generation typified by Dr. Lamb has passed away, whose passing creates a deeply regrettable loss. Hampton a Shrine Last week I was at the Hampton Institute where I addressed the State Teachers' Association of Virginia. While strolling about the campus, I viewed the Hampton burying ground. Before the Vault of Charles Chapman Armstrong and H. B. Frissel, I stood with head bare and bowed. Around about them lay the sacred remains of scores of their devoted colleagues who had devoted their lives to the man service. The thought occurred to me: Great is that institution which has a shrine where repose the asks of saints and sages who gave their lives that others might live more abundant lives. "Greater love has no man than this—that he lay down his life for his friends." The death of Dr. Lamb following so close on this visit raises deep and solemn reflections in the mind of the observer. I thought again of the youth at Lincoln University who voted their preference for white rather than colored teachers. Although I pitied them—it did not lay in my heart to condemn them. The fact is as I grow older I seek to understand rather than to denounce or condemn those whose views differ from my own. We are still experimenting with the three forms of tuition described above—all Negro, part Negro and part white and all-white. What the experiment is under way, we must not too severely censure an for a hasty and premature judgment. One thing we know—the Negro must meet the responsibility of self-direction. This requires recitation, sacrifice and devotion to the fullest degree. There is no longer a question of mere technical equipment. It is the spirit which is more than the letter. And yet we are not without hope, that the Negro disciples will wear befitting the mantle dropped by their philanthropic preceptors. LINOTYPE BIRTHDAYS May 2nd: S. B.

Africans Sa An African Proverb Want and suffering never to THE AFRO-AMERICAN BALTIMORE SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1929 What Would You Do Best With a Million? What Would You Do Best With a Million? That question was put up to John F. Slater, white philanthropist, in 1883, and he answered it by setting aside a million dollar fund which has been used since for paying salaries of teachers in normal and industrial schools. The fund's first appropriation was $16,250 in 1883 to 12 schools. The smallest contribution—$100—was to "Tuskegee Institute, the Reverend Booker T. Washington, principal." Seven of the 12 school principals in those days were ministers of the gospel. In 1928, the fund aided 21 colleges, giving them the sum of $32,050. The largest contribution in the list was $10,000 to the Hampton-Tuskegee campaign, and not a single aided college head was listed as a minister. In addition, the fund aided 328 county training schools in fourteen Southern States, paying $108,000 for teachers' salaries and equipment. Total 1928 appropriations were $142,050, and for 1929, Slater Fund trustees voted to spend $170,000 in this work. In the forty-six years of its existence, Negro education has benefited to the extent of nearly three million dollars as a result of the generosity of John F. Slater, and the million dollars is still intact to yield further benefits for coming generations. Wise philanthropy in this case has demonstrated how to eat your cake and have it too. Out of 951 Missionaries sent out by U. S. Christian Churches to Africa, but 13 are colored. White Christians declare they balk at social equality. Out of 158 African missionaries, the Protestant Episcopi Church has 1 American Negro; the Presbyterian, 2 out of 88; the Northern Baptists, 1 out of 20; the Methodist Episcopal Church, 5 out of 91; the American Board, 4 out of 97. Of 793 other missionaries to Africa sent out by American missionary societies, there is not a single American Negro! The Foreign Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention is frank: "Our policy is not send American Negroes as missionaries"; The Sudan Interior Mission has a policy, and states it plainly: "Our brethren from the American Negro churches practically have to live on the same plane almost as their white brethren, and this creates a problem." The American Bible Society scents trouble and hastens to say: "I presume your inquiry is evoked by some thought that there may be racial discrimination asserted by the missionary agencies of the churches selecting missionaries. I have been more or less closely associated with missionary work in the last ten years and have never known of such a case." Thus writes Mr. Eric North, who evidently does not dwell on earth but in a Heaven of his own. Most of the missionary societies who try to apologize for their discrimination seek to explain their stand by saying that they are training "native" helpers. Certainly, this should be true. But why not use American Negroes as the obvious instruments for such training? The Pre byterian Church began sending Negro missionaries and then stopped. Only this year have they finally been induced to send two. The American Baptist Foreign Mission Society tries to put the whole onus upon Negro churches, and declares that "no qualified Negro applicants" have applied in recent years. If they should apply, the Society does not promise to send them, but only to give the matter "most careful consideration." Complications The Women's General Missionary Society of the United Prsbyterian Church says that "no action for or against the sending of Negroes to work as missionaries in Africa has been taken. I can see complications that might be unpleasant and hard to surmount." The Friends and others also admit the fact that several foreign governments, and especially the Belgian Congo, object to American Negroes. As a matter of fact, missionary societies of the United States started out, for the most part, with the obvious policy of sending Negroes to convert Africa. Then they found out that this involved social equality between white and black missionaries; the paying of Negro missionaries on the same scale as white missionaries, and their promotion and treatment as civilized beings. With few exceptions, American white Christianity could not stand this, and they consequently changed their policy. Several of them stopped sending Negroes, altogether. Small Pay Others tried to get their assistance from the natives, where discrimination in treatment and wages could be made without complaint; while still others intimated, as the American Baptist Foreign Missionary Society puts it: "The failure of quite a proportion to live up to their all important moral obligations has necessarily been a serious consideration," which is a chaste way of saying that American Negroes are too immoral to convert Africans to the kind of Christianity which this Society has for sale. The United Missionary Society says. "The matter has not come before the Board." The Foreign Missionary Society of the United Brethern-in-Christ has "not made it a practice to send out American Negroes"; the American Friends Board of Foreign Missions has "never formulated any policy concerning the sending to Africa of American Negroes as missionaries"; the Foreign Mission Board of the Brethren-in-Christ, "have not had any applicants"; the Women's General Missionary Society of the United Presbyterian Church has "never discussed the matter."

What The "AFRO" Stands For 1 County policemen, policewomen and officers live on city, county and State lines. KENNEDY THOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER (May 21, 1904) The Rev. W. D. Chappelle defeated Ira T. Bryant by two votes for the office of secretary of the A.M. E. Sunday School Union. The election was held at the A.M.E. General Conference, now in session in Chicago. It was thought that Mr. Chappelle would win hands down, but he just barely escaped. Others believed there was some mistake in the count of the vote as the leading fellows had several differences on their yellow sheets. Bryant did not have the help of the leaders, nor the united help of the laity. United We Fall Dr. W. E. B. DuBois in a recent address, points out that politics has a lot to do with jobs, and that in large cities thousands of persons are earning a living in the political game. As a corollary, he contrasts New York and Chicago with Philadelphia, Richmond, and Buffalo, and proves that, where colored people vote always with the Republican party, there are few if any political jobs available. Where Negroes split their votes between Democrats and Republicans, there result not only jobs for laborers, clerks and ward-workers, but also they fill more influential posts paying over $5,000 a year. He estimates that only 5 per cent of colored people vote in Richmond; 85 per cent in Philadelphia, and 95 per cent in Chicago. Dividing the vote between the big parties gets the DuBois o. k. even though the principle involved runs counter to Ben Franklin's wise crack about. "United we stand, divided we fall." Admitting the Laymen The Washington and Delaware Methodist Episcopal Church Conferences in recent sessions voted unanimously in favor of an amendment to church law admitting laymen to the Annual Conferences. There was division upon other matters affecting the church, but upon this issue there was unusual unity of expression. The majority of other conferences have likewise voted, which means that the measure is certain to become law. Leaders of the church declare that it is not a matter of crowding the clergy out, but to hitch up a larger part of the church membership to problems which the conferences face. Cooperation of pastors and laymen puts the layman in on the ground floor. He understands the church program. He has a part in its initiation and a responsibility for its execution. Similar legislation was passed by the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church in its St. Louis General Conference last year. This leaves the Colored M. E. Church and the African M. E. denominations as the only larger bodies which deny the laymen equal participation in Annual Conferences. There may not be any connection between the reforms mentioned above and the U. S. census figures on church membership, but the fact remains that denominations putting the laymen to work, showed the largest growth in the past ten years. Watch Winston-Salem Under the auspices of the National Negro Business. League fifteen colored grocery stores in Winston-Salem, N. C. have formed an association to buy and sell cooperatively. One member of the association has given his place over to be rebuilt as a model store in keeping with plans worked out by Dr. Carl Dupman, editor of the Progressive Grocer, in New York. Wholesalers of the city are cooperating. These fifteen stores are to be the last word in attractiveness and convenience and are designed to meet competition by cutting costs and overhead expenses. In this scheme will figure most of all, an accurate system of keeping records. Mr. A. L. Hoisey, secretary of the National body, is in personal charge of the project which carries with it a schedule of city-wide advertising. This is the first big system of chain stores to be inaugurated in any city by our group. Winston-Salem was selected because of its large number of colored groceries and existing Grocers' Association. The plan will be watched with interest. Its success there will mean its extension into hundreds of other cities where cooperative Negro business has never been tried. Missionaries (Bv. W.

Introduces Measure of Create Industrial Body. WASHINGTON (CNS) — A bill to create a Negro Industrial Commission was introduced in the House Monday by Representative Emanuel Celler, Democrat of the Eleventh Congressional District of New York. The bill, known as H. R. 1655, could provide a body of five members, at least three of them to be members of the race, to be appointed by the President and who shall hold office for four years. The chairman would receive a salary of $7,000 while the four other members would receive $5,000 each. In addition they would receive per diem and necessary expenses usually received by officers of the government absent from their official stations for the conduct of official business. Study Conditions The duty of the commission, as provided by the measure, will be to study economic conditions, labor problems, and stimulate thrift and industry, and work out plans for solutions of problems affecting the welfare of the group. Quarters, would be provided in Washington and the commission would be empowered to appoint clerks, agents, investigators, attorneys and assistants to carry on the work. $200,000 First Year The bill would provide an appropriation of $200,000 for the first year to carry on the work of the commission. Four Leafed Clover (From the Pathfinder) The superstition that it is a sign of good luck to find a four-leaved clover is very old. In 1640 John Melton wrote in his "Astrologaster" "That if a man, walking in the fields, find any four-leaved grasse, he shall in a small while after find some good thing." The four-leaved clover is not mentioned in the Scriptures. clover. You cannot buy four-leaved There is no species of four-leaved clover seed. On this subject the Bureau of Plant Industry recently wrote to the Pathfinder as follows: Three leaves are normal, in some cases, as much, as 10 per cent of a patch will bear four leaves. In 1924 a dairy company at Memphis, Tenn., which has a four-leaved clover for a trade-mark, advertised a Four-leaf Clover Week. A pint of ice cream was offered to each person presenting a four-leaf clover at the company's office. More than 40,000 pints of cream were set aside for the purpose. But lo and behold, on the first day 50,000 four-leaved clovers were turned in for the same number of pints of ice cream. The distribution was called off at the end of the first day because of an ice cream shortage. Hoover Has Hopes (Kinston Despatch in Raleigh, N.C. News, and Observer.) There is little likelihood that any of Thomas Jefferson Jones' family will ever be President, but Jones and his children are auspiciously named. They are farm dwellers of the Wyse Fork district. A friend of his parents had Jones named Thomas Jefferson 58 years ago. Jones grew up proud in the knowledge that he was named for a President of the United States When his first son was born, he christened him Abraham Lincoln. Three other boys came in a row, Andrew Jackson, George Washington and Grover Cleveland. The fifth child was a girl, but Tom named her Willie McKinley. The sixth was called Benjamin Harrison.

All of the twenty-odd resorts, and more, vie with each other to capture distinguished visitors and settlers. Cannes captured both Kings this year. Lloyd George, the Vanderbilts, Peggy Hopkins, and hosts of others. The harbor of everyone of these resorts holds millions of dollars in yachts, and each of them is a vast flower garden for Wars of Roses at frequent intervals.

ELIJAH Lord, I've been upon Mount Carmel, And I've seen thy fire come down; It has licked up all the water, It has met all the stone; And the odor of the sacrifice Doth all the air pervade; But I've heard the voice of Jezebel, And, now, I am afraid! Thou wast with me on the mountain, Thou wast with me in the vale; Thou wast with me in the slaying Of all the priests of Baal; For the hearts of all the people Again are turned to thee; But I've heard the voice of Jezebel, And that has frightened me! Even though I saw thy power, And radiant glory shine, Even though I knew Thou ownest me, And thou wert also mine, No longer I lifted up, Thou seemst no longer near; I've heard the voice of Jezebel, And I am filled with fear! I've fled unto this desert, From her cruel power, away. They've slain all of thy prophets, Now me they seek to slay! Would I were with my fathers, From all these trials free; I've heard the voice of Jezebel, And that has frightened me. E'en to this dreary cavern For refuge I have fled, Without the storm is raging, And I am filled with dread. I see the lightning pierce the skies, I hear the thunder roll, And, O, the voice of Jezebel Strikes terror to my soul! Thanks to Well Wisher, Washington. The AFRO is Struggling Against Influences Which Would Change it Back Into Standard Form. To the Editor: I meant to write you before to congratulate you on the new tabloid form of the AFRO- AMERICAN. Please do not allow anyone to persuade you to change back to the old form. The AFRO-AMERICAN is my favorite among Negro newspapers and your new form makes it more convenient to handle and only adds to its usefulness and attractiveness to me. I have never had occasion to write you before, but I want you to know that I do appreciate the independent stand you take on public matters. May I also congratulate you on the fact that I see very little, if any, material in your paper passing under the guise of news which I know is paid for. This is becoming the bane of certain other Negro weeklies. Atlanta. Ga Reader Thomas is Right - The Tabloid Idea is not Original With the FRO. To the Editor: My! My! What a radical departure. Why not try a little originality and let some of your force dope out a real form for the paper? The old form is head and shoulders above this and the old form could have been improved on. C. T. THOMAS, Baltimore, Md. Please, if my little influence has any effect on you, change the present form of the AFRO back like it was at first. I have heard the dislikes of many of the new form of publishing the paper. At first it looked like a first-class newspaper. Now it looks like a two-cent bulletin. GRANT E. LATIMORE, Saluda, Va. Florida Head of Tiger Order Thinks Tabloid An Improvement. To the Editor: Congratulations on the New AFRO Tabloid. It makes it so convenient to read.

EXPECT LARGE NUMBER Opportunity Will Be First For Many Kiddies. Through the courtesy of the owners, Messrs. Simon and Isaac Hornstein, all orphan children of the city will be guests of the Regent Theatre, Saturday. The picture to be shown is "Uncle Tom's Cabin," starring James B Lowe, the race star, who is assisted by an excellent supporting cast. Children from all of the orphanages in the city have been invited and will admitted to the regular afternoon show when accompanied by an authorized guardian. Many school children saw "Uncle Tom's Cabin" when it played here two weeks ago and in an endeavor to give all children an equal opportunity to see the big production the management agreed to give the special free performance. "AVALON" READY FOR HER FIRST TRIP Carrying the excursion of the Cooperative Business Men the new Steamer Avalon will make her initial trip to Brown's Groxe next Thursday afternoon. This excursion will mark the first trip to the grove in two years as the loss of his boat as she was in tow from New York prevented Captain Brown from having a boat readv in time for last season. A reporter for the AFRO visited the Avalon as she lay at her pier at the shipyard and made an inspection tour of the vessel, and when she takes to the waters next Thursday the colored people of Baltimore may boast of having the finest excursion steamer in the world owned and operated exclusively for the race by members of the race. The decks are wide and spacious and the new dance hall is nearly twice as large as former floors on the old steamers. Many new conveniences and arrangements have been included in Captain Brown's new boat and there is little doubt but that this will be the biggest season for the steamer and grove since its opening more than twenty years ago.

Seven out-of-town bands, four white and three colored, will battle against Percy Glascoe's Plantation Orchestra and Ike Dixon's Aces of Joy at the New Albert on that date. The third band from the city will be Bert Galmar's Orchestra (white). From Westchester, Pa. comes Bud Gorman's "Dam Phools"; Washington, D. C. sends Ascarra's "Hot Steppers," a peppy Italian combination. Lew Gold's Rhythm Kings hail from Harrisburg, Pa. Wilmington sends two bands: Ben Davis' Kings of Jazz (white), and Joe Williams' Night Hawks (colored). The South sends Henry Tate's "Blue Devis (colored) from Richmond, Va., and Buck Mason's "Terrible Ten" from Norfolk, Va. These colored bands are well known to dance goers and all are popular among radio and "record fans." Mr. Goldberg feels that Percy Glascoe and Ike Dixon can hold down any band that comes to Baltimore, but he had to admit that he had piled it on pretty heavy this time. However, it is time the public was getting a real contest with a real decision. Special arrangements have been made with the management of the New Albert to facilitate the handling of ticket purchasers. The names of judges have not been made public at this writing.

Hailed by film critics as a melodramatic triumph, "The Redeeming Sin," featuring Dolores Costello and Conrad Nagel, two young lovers of the screen, will be shown the first three days of next week at the Regent Thea- "I the Redeeming Sin" is a thrilling and glamorous romance of the Paris underworld in which Miss Costello plays the part of a cafe dancer—ruled by a thief and rescued by a young doctor. She is called to save the life of her small brother who has been accidentally shot. Surrounded by forces of evil she finally finds what she wants love and peace. Miss Costello gives this great story the warmth, the terror and the beauty of actual life — the quality of her emotional genius never having had such proof. In "The Redeeming Sin" Miss Costello's leading man is Conrad Nagel, who has appeared with her in a number of recent productions. Other prominent members of the cast are Georgie Stone, Lionel Belmore, Philippe de Lacy, Warner Richmond and Nina Quartero. For the last half of the week movie lovers will see Monte Blue in "The Greyhound Limited," a swift moving drama of action with Edna Murphy and Grant Withers in the supporting cast. BRIDE TRIED SUICIDE ATLANTIC CITY — Sarah Shannon, 21 years old, Lincoln Apartments, drank a quantity of poison and was rushed to the hospital where she was discharged following treatment. Police say she had quarreled with her husband, Peter. IF IT'S GOOD IT'S AT THE Characterized by clean comedy, loads of singing, and no small amount of dancing, "Sunflower South." the Royal stage offering, proves to be good entertainment. Headed by "Bab Kid," producer and straight man, the company is augmented this week by two added attractions, Izzy Ringgold of New York and Sammy Paige. The offering gets the actors on a southern plantation, off to a good start with a unique radium curtain opening which shows and from the singing of "The Dusky Stevedore" nu'ber by Alberta Puggsley, soubret, to the closing curtain, there is action. Buddy Green and Dusty Morris fit well as comics though their "Officer Allblack" scene might well have been revamped or omitted. Green is a comedian of the Eddie Hunter variety, and got his lines over well. Everhart and Struggle, two dancing boys, clicked, but Red Simmons was the boy who stopped the show with lackadaisical interpretation of several dance numbers. Howard and Dorsey, Baltimore boys, billed as the Cuban tumblers, showed a neat routine of acrobatic stunts, and "Baby Kid." featuring again "That's My Mammy." proved that he has lost none of his histrionic ability. Izzy Ringgold held the customers in the hollow of her hand with special interpretations of "That's My Weakness" and "He's Funny That Way." appearing also in good voice with "My Mother's Eyes." Sammy Paige, minus his flowing pantaloons, plucked his uke with facility and sang and danced. Esther Detrich, recruited from the ranks of the chorus, showed the folks how to put over the number "Low Down." Corrine Jones, a local girl who has looks, did several character parts well. In the chorus, which appeared best in a drill number, are Eva Allen, Esther Detrich, Virginia Rountree Loretta Williams, Laura Ward, Agnes Chase, Anna Stump, Margaret Phillips Boula Lee, Rosa Scott, and Edith Benson. Laura Miller, familiar to Baltimore audiences, conducted the orchestra from the pit. Praises Negro Welfare Work HINTON, W.

They stated that the treatment had worked in several former cases. 4 DAYS A TALKING PICTURE! A LAST MINUTE REPRIEVE--or DOOM? She lied She hated She drank She swore She stole She killed She Sinned!

PRODUCTION Chapter 1--THE D:AMOND MASTER" 14 "Script" Lee Lets Down Pompez Aggregation With Only Six Bingles. WILSON HITS HOMER Sends Ball Over Fence in Third; Lundy Shines. By W. A. JOHNSON NORFOLK, Va. (Special) In the opening game of the American Negro League season here Saturday, the Baltimore Black Sox lustily lambasted Alejandro Pompez's Cuban Stars to the tune of 10-2. It was simply a case of too much Black Sox. The island boys, though playing a good brand of ball, were clearly outclassed by the heavy hitting Baltimore clan, led by the mighty "Babe" Wilson, a heavy walloping son-of-a-swatter. Jud Wilson started off early. He got a circuit ride in the first half of the third, sending the ball over the right field fence. No one was on at the time. Wilson was up five times, getting three hits. He popped up once and was given a free trip to first base. In the fielding. Lundy led the way contributing a rare exhibition of baseballing. Dick made several good catches to give the fans a thrill. The entire Sox infield did good work in the garden. In fact the whole Baltimore team turned in a good day's work, collecting fourteen hits off Simmons' offerings. Lee, Sox hurler, gave up six bingles, and came very near having a perfect day on the mound, but a bit of wildness robbed him of the opportunity. Score by innings: R. H. E. Cuban Stars...010 000 010—2 6 2 Black Sox ...221 100 40x—10 14 0 Batteries: Black Sox, Lee and Clark: Cuban Stars, Simmons and Fernandez. Rain in Baltimore caused the Black Sox to postpone their double-header with the Cubans. The Sox will play at Hildale. Friday and Saturday and return to their home grounds Sunday for a twin bill with the Daisies. De Priest Sees G. P. O. Defeat Aggie Nine WASHINGTON — A triple by Thomas, second baseman, furnished enough margin for the Printing Office nine to defeat the tossers of the Department of Agriculture, by a 2 to 1 score, in the opening game of the Departmental League, here Monday. Representative Oscar DePriest tossed out the first ball. RED SOX STILL WINNING TYLER, Tex. — The Havana Red Sox split even with the Texas College baseballers, here last week, winning the first game, 7 to 2. but losing the second contest by an 8 to 7 margin. The Red Sox ended their series at Ruston. La., with the Shreveport Black Sports of the T.O.L. League, giving them six out of seven games played with the latter club. They appear in a single exhibition game at Cleveland, Tenn., on May 3. and start a four-game series with Chattanooga, Tenn., members of the Southern League, on May 4, winding un at that city on May 6.

The Bears tackled Shaw in her own back yard and after knotting the score several times, took a two-run lead in the ninth inning when McManus drove a hot liner over the left field wall for a home-run, scoring Butler ahead of him. In the same inning three errors and one hit accounted for three runs for Shaw. Livingstone ..... 200 001 122-8 10 6 Shaw ..... 030 020 103-9 7 4 Batteries—For Livingstone: McFadden and Taylor and Buford; for Shaw: Wilder and Browning. They next moved to Fayetteville and tackled the scrappy aggregation there and after tying the score several times, came out on the short end of a 5-4 count. Berry and Jamison were the outstanding players with Livingstone. St. Augustine Winner St. Augustine at Raleigh was the Bears' next opponent and the same sort of game was played. The final score being 9-8. The Bears tackle N.C. College, A and T. Smith this week. ARMSTRONG'S VICTORY EVENS SHAW SERIES WASHINGTON, D. C.—Armstrong avenged defeat handed her by Shaw by downing Coach Rucker's irrepressible little nine, 8-5, on the Walker Stadium Friday. Medford, who started hurling for the Seventh Streeters, was wild and proved ineffective when forced to groove the ball. Paulin, who relieved him in the second inning, was unable to stop the scoring until he got sufficiently warmed up. With the bases full and two out in the Shaw third inning, Dale contributed a sparkling fielding gem when Paulin made a bid for a Texas League double. The third sacker turned his back with the crack of the bat and snared the ball over his shoulder while on a dead run in short left close to the foul line. Commendable fielding was also contributed by Quigly at short and Cook at first for Shaw, and Henderson at short, Scott at second, and Fountain at first for Armstrong. TUSKEGEE TAKES TWO FROM MORRIS BROWN TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala. Moon, pitching for Tuskegee, bested "Red" Bradley, ace of the Morris Brown university pitching staff, in a great 3 to 1 duel here Friday afternoon. Bradley attempted the iron man stunt Saturday, but to no avail. Bookman was right and southpawed the Brownies into submission, 12 to 3. Woolridge hit a homer in the first frame, scoring Powell ahead of him. Shaw Hi Tops Armstrong in Baseball Series WASHINGTON — The dead-locked series between Armstrong and Shaw was broken when Coach Rucker's Shawites triumphed by a 3-2 margin. The game was featured by the clever pitching of little Paulin, who held the bat swingers from Tech at his mercy and the relief pitching of Berry, who relieved Nash in the second. Claflin Wins S. Atlantic Conference Track Meet ORANGEBURG, S. C. — Clafin College athletes, scoring 37 points, captured the South Atlantic conference track and field championships, held here Saturday.

WASHINGTON — The baseball championship series which begins May 6, will find Cardozo, the new high school competitor. Coach John Washington at this school, has had but a small group from which to pick a nine. "Lefty" Rush, formerly of Dunbar, with Ellis and Hood last year's Shawite, will do the pitching. Prileau, ex-Randall catcher, will do the receiving. Carter will cover second and play short when Hood is pitching; Dyson, Payne and Hill will fight it out for the hot corner assignment, while Ellis Pope, Hill and Audrick will take care of the outfield. Cardozo, who in her first start, walloped Shaw, plays Armstrong, Monday and Dunbar next Wednesday. Dunbar's Prospects Bright Dunbar looks stronger than she has in years, due to many hold-over veterans, among whom are Anderson, first baseman; Gilmore, second; Steel; third; Critchlow, Downing and Brawner, outfielders; and Hand, pitcher. Coach Evans looks to Lloyd, formerly of Shaw, to do the catching with Gough and Manignatte and Washington and Thomas to fit in the "inner" works. Cole, Larry and Ingram complete the finging corps. Dunbar whose only start resulted in victory over the War College nine, will play Armstrong, May 10. Armstrong Doubtful The defending champions at Armstrong under Coach Adams have failed to impress owing to their fatal weakness at bat. To date they have lost six of their eight starts. Most of the players are breaking into the regular line-up for the first time. Fountain and Herbert. at first; Scott and Dunlap at second; Henderson and possibly Armstrong. at short; Dale, third; Moten. Jackson and Brown, catchers. Highsmith, Caolain Campbell, Blakey, and Nash, pitchers; and Tate, Hamilton. Johnson and Shamwell, outfielders, make up the hopefuls.

You can go on thinking it will get better, when in fact that very ache is trying to tell you that there is something seriously wrong with you. You wonder why your nervous energy is low an. you worry and wonder if it could be a fatal disease. YOU CAN FIND OUT IN TEN MINUTES IF YOU WILL CALL ON ME FOR A: EXAMINATION. It has been my business for many years to tell men what was wrong with their health, and to give them scientific treatment, direct methods used. BACTERINS, SERUMS, VACCINES Medication by SERUMS, ANTI-TOXINS, BACTERINS and ANIMAL THERAPY are among the latest discoveries in useful medicines. This form of medicine is given in very small doses and not through the stomach. The patient receives powerful medication by absorption and the delicate arrangement of digestion is not affected in the least. Do you realize that you have only one life to live—do you realize that you are missing most of that life by ill health? A life worth living is a healthy life. Neglect of one's health has put many a man in his grave. Some men would rather be dead than alive—if you are one of that kind you will not need this. I am talking to real redblooded men—men who will appreciate the services of a real specialist—men who know the good from the bad—men who realize the benefits of good health—men who have confidence in themselves. If you will come to me I will make you have confidence in others. I will make you cheerful and optimistic and healthy.

Morgan Loses Advantage In this race Morgan led for the first two laps. Russell Sterling, running scratch, piling up a 20-yard lead for his mates. The running of Byrd, Lincoln speedster, however, cut down the Morgan advantage and the Bear were forced to take second place. Cottman of Morgan also ran a good race. Alfred Bell of Morgan, entered in the 3000 metre steeplechase, led for the first three laps of the race, but was taken with a severe cramp which forced him back in the pack of runners. Sterling finished fourth in his heat in the 100-dash dash trials. Hampton Scores Victory Forced to overcome a 25-yard hand- lan. Hampton Institute, after Harris had gotten off to a bad start, forged to the front by a brilliant run by Early, never to be headed, though Newark Normal and West Chester Normal, both white, challenged. The Hampton relay team broke a record which had stood since 1925 when the Indiana State Normal run- ners were clocked in minutes, 37 seconds. When New York University and the University of Chicago hooked up for the two-mile relay championship of America Saturday, the 40,000 spectators grouped about the field were treated to one of the greatest races ever to be run on Franklin Field, as Phil Edwards, track captain of the New York University team, made a brilliant but vain attempt to stave off defeat for his team after his mates had placed a tremendous headcap upon him The first three men of the Chicago team had piloted up a 50-yard lead for Gist. anchor man of the Maroon quartet to add to the hand-tap already suffered by Edwards when his teammate failed to give him the baton in perfect fashion. This clumsiness meant that valuable time had been lost, but Edwards set himself to the task of cutting down Gist. Slowly but surely Edwards closed up the gap that separated him from his rival and when the runners reached the last turn they were virtually abreast of each other with Gist having the advantage of the pole position.

Edwards overcame a 50-yard handicap only to lose at the tape. On the previous day he had led his mates to two relay victories. could stand and Gist beat him out at the tape. The stands arose as a man to cheer both runners, Edwards being glorious even in effort. On the previous day New York University successfully defended its sprint medley title in 3:28 3-5. Edwards ran a great race in this relay, running anchor he beat Gist to the tape by less than a foot. New York University also won as expected, the Middle Atlantic Mile Relay. The N. Y. U. runners were not forced to extend themselves in this event. Edwards, who ran anchor for N. Y. U., finished at least fifteen yards ahead of McAlvory of Lehigh, who finished second. Dave Myers was also a member of the winning quartet.

BOWLING NEWS 15 The Passing Review By BILL GIBSON A CHANCE TO SHOW whether or not they mean business will be given the officials of the American Baseball League as soon as "Bizz" Mackey returns to the States, if ever. Mackey, our sleuths inform, instead of being in the lineup of Hilldale against the Lincoln Giants, last Saturday was probably on some strand near Wajikiki, or whatever they call that place in the Hawaiian Islands, listening to the sweet music of guitars or watching the maidens do the proverbial hula. Or again he might have been playing baseball. Whatever he was doing, it was evident that he was not in the Quaker City April 27, 1929. According to a ruling of the new baseball combine, we understand that players failing to report for opening day will be suspended for as many days as they are late in reporting for duty. We also understand that the rule is mandatory and will be enforced by the league. We have not been informed whether Martin Dihigo has reported to the Daisies or not, but if he was not there Saturday, he too, will fall victim to the same ruling. Both of these players are valuable men, and should Mackey not report until the last of this month it will be almost July first before he will be able to get into action against the clubs in the league. It is rather a strange coincidence that the president of the league which made the ruling should have to impose the penalty on his own team, nevertheless it must be done. All of the rules must be kept if the league is to amount to anything, and it should be remembered that while players are being fined and variously penalized there are owners who might well be punished for infringements on the rights of the players and the public. The rule should work both ways. A KICK IS REGISTERED against the conditions at Maryland park by one Otto Briggs, who no longer than last year was sporting the colors of the Hilldale baseball club, but who now draws his check from the Philadelphia Giants and the Philadelphia Tribune, in which paper he has set forth the following attack on the local hall grounds. That much of what Signor Briggs says is true, cannot be denied by this scribbler, particularly the part concerning the dirty seats of which we have many times complained. Suggesting that the fans stay away from the park until conditions have been improved, the Philadelphia ball toser says: "Fans wearing nice clothes take a chance on getting them ruined unless they spread something down to sit on. It is reported that the bleachers in right field that are now missing, were torn down after being condemned. Why the rest of the stands were not condemned is not known because the roofs are full of holes. When it rains there is no way to keep from getting wet. "The visiting players have a right to kick for a cleaner place to dress. They have to change in a little filthy room where offtimes the dogs of Uncle Henry, the groundkeeper, have spent the night. Very seldom does one ever find it even swept out. The roof of it also is full of holes which causes rain to pour through, wetting the players' clothes. "You can imagine how uncomfortable this is for the playcra. We are almost sure that if Mr. Rossiter has a farm he has a better barn for his cattle." Improvements have been PROMISED, Mr. Briggs and we patiently await them. While even in its present condition the local ball park may compare very favorably with those now used in other cities on the circuit, we want the park here to be the BEST of any team in the American League: Baltimore fans will tell you to a man that they believe the Black Sox to be the best team in the loop. They boast of their team but keep silent when it comes to singing paens of praise about their lovely ballgrounds. The team and the public, we feel, and certainly the poor mistreated gentlemen of the press, would welcome improvements which have been promised, lo, these many months. Maybe they'll come soon. A FEELING OF PRIDE should run through every supporter of race athletes as the story is read of what "our" boys did in the Beau Belus last week-end. Read the record printed elsewhere in these pages and think of the strides that these dark-skinned youths have made. Sprinkled here and there throughout the meet there were individual and team performances that were of exceptional merit. Boost and encourage these boys wherever and whenever you get a chance. In the field of sports, particularly track and field, there is great opportunity afforded to do something in breaking down the barriers of prejudice which mar the structure of our civilization. Your Old Favorites! This Sunday Hilldale —vs.— Black Sox Maryland BaseballPark TAYLOR NAMED LINCOLN COACH NAME "BILL" TAYLOR NEW LINCOLN COACH NAME "BILL" TAYLOR NEW LINCOLN COACH Morgan Coach Resigns to Take Up New Duties at Alma Mater in September. GETS 3-YEAR CONTRACT To Direct All Athletics; No Successor at Morgan Yet. William S. (Bill) Taylor, now coaching at Morgan College, has signed a three-year contract as coach and athletic director at Lincoln University, it became known this week. Taylor, a former four-letter man at the Lion institution, will take up his duties September 1, succeeding "Doc" Morrison who was dismissed in the midst of last season's football campaign. He has already tendered his resignation at Moran to become effective with the June commencement. Anointiment a Surprise Appointment of Taylor came as a surprise to many, particularly since it was felt that he had a desire to remain in Baltimore, his home town. In his new job Taylor will have complete charge of physical education at Lincoln and will devote most of his coaching time to football and track. He will be assisted in football by Ted Walls, who will also have charge of baseball. It is also expected that Taylor will name another football assistant As Taylor was himself a track star at Lincoln it is not known whether or not Track Coach Joseph Rainey, who has been turning out some crackerjack teams at Lincoln, will be retained Was Four-Letter Man The new Lincoln coach brings plenty of background to his new job, being a four-letter man in high school and a four-letter man at Lincoln. He graduated from Lincoln in 1926 and that year captained the track team. In 1924 he was C.I.A.A. champion in the 100- and 220-yard dashes and achieved a signal track triumph when running as anchor man for Lincoln in the Penn Relays, he overcome a 45-yard lead to win that event for his school. He was a valuable man on the football, baseball and basketball teams at Lincoln. Following his graduation Taylor signed as coach at Sam Houston College in Texas and the first year there turned out a football team that won the championship of the Southwestern conference. His team scored 376 points against 80 points for their opponents. The following year the Sam Houston basketball team won the state tournaments held at Wiley College. Met Success at Morgan Coming to Morgan last fall Coach Taylor turned out a football team that beat Lincoln for the first time in the history of the school and tied Howard for the first time. By virtue of the Bears' performance Morgan claimed right to the Eastern football title with Howard. The Morgan basketball team this year repeated its national collegiate championship and under the tutelage of Coach Taylor Morgan won prizes in the recently ended Penn Relay Carnival. Coach Taylor is being sent to the University of Michigan this summer for special courses in physical education and football coaching under Fielding H. Yost, noted gridiron mentor, and will take up his duties at Lincoln in the fall. He is unmarried, a member of Trinity Baptist Church here, and a member of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity. While it has been too early to name his successor at Morgan the name of "Jazz" Byrd, another former Lincoln star, has been mentioned several times as a possibility. Byrd is now coaching at Florida A. and M. College, Tallahassee. TENNIS TEAM DEFEATS ST. PAUL Hampton's tennis team, made up of Bobby Cotton, Theodore Briggs Don A. Davis, Jr., Charles Brown and Edward Hargrove. defeated St. Paul. crack tennis team which was made up of Gowens, Brown, Booker and Turner. 5-1. This return engagement made it two straight defeats for the Tiger tennis combination, as Hampton defeated the combine 3-2 in a previous engagement in Lawrenceville. Among the thrillers in the singles was the match between Theodore Briggs and Booker, the final and decisive match of the day which ended 6-4. 6-4. 3-6. In the doubles was the match between Cotton and Hargrove of Hampton, and Brown on Gowens, of St. Paul which ended 6-2. 8-6. The match that contributed St. Paul's lone score was the one between Don Davis and Turner. Hudlin's crack partner in the doubles. TALLADEGA-A. U.

Ryan was put to sleep in 1 minute, 55 seconds, of the first round. A right to the jaw having previously sent Ryan to the floor for the count of eight, Chocolate followed with one that put the white boy down for keeps. Fidel La Barba, who is matched with Chocolate for a bout at the Coliseum here May 21, was a ringside spectator. Chocolate has also been signed to fight Andre Routis, featherweight titleholder, at the Yankee Stadium, August 22. Sports writers in this city are advising Louis Guitterez, manager of Kid Chocolate, the sensational Cuban fighter, to lay off matching his man so often for fear of burning out the greatest little fighter the colored race has had.

Mr. Douglas or to invite him int: theirs. The action of the conferences, ex- pelling the Cosmopolitan pastor at the opening session, rather than wait until the meeting of the executive cabinet, forestalls any legal action he might take in seeking to prevent the matter being settled a this session. Several weeks ago, Rev. Mr. Douglass sought an injunction in court pre- venting the committee from acting. This injunction was answered and finally. denied and the committee sent in the sealed verdict, It was rumored that he planned to attempt other court action this week. Opening Address __Bishop Gaines welcomed the visit- ing delegates in an opening address in which he reviewed the history of institutions :and men prominent in developing this city. Calling the names of A, Wayman, James A. Handy,. Harvey Johnson, William Alexander and -M. Weaver, he declared that it was the untir- ing efforts of these men that made it possible for our racial group in Baltimore to have the distinction of lawyers pleading at the bar and more than 600 teachers taining our youns and drawing from the city in salar- ies nearly $1,000,000 per year. Sharp Street Church, Union Bap- tist and Bethel, he declared, will live on and although a hundred un- grateful ministers lift their hands and voices to estroy them, the peo- ple. of Baltimore hold them sacred and want them to live and “the toler of the people is the voice of od.” The ovening sermon was preached by the Rev: J. T, Bond. who spoke on the “Bible's Biggest Promise.” Tu his discourse he bointed out the practical value of following the Crris- tian life. ~ $2,3414 Reported Increase in monies raised was re- norted by officials of the conference The total this vear was $23,414.57 as against $22.744.73 last year.

DUNBAR AFRO CLUB HEARS TALK ON ATTUCKS "The importance of Crispus Attucks as a factor in American history has been neglected or dismissed with a line or two by most historians, white and colored." declared Mr. F. H. M. Murray, speaking at the AFRO club Saturday. Mr. Murray, who is the AFRO proofreader, gave some interesting facts concerning Attucks and presented a collection of pictures of the Boston Massacre, which he had gathered. He ably pointed out the discrepancies in the illustrations, as well as those in current histories. He quoted President John Adams as saying that there was no more important event in American history than the Boston Masacre, on which occasion Attucks and four other men were killed. Lewis K. McMillan, member of the circulation department, who has just returned from an extended trip thru the South, gave greetings to the club and a sketch of conditions at present in that region. He called attention to the very courteous service received at white filling stations there, and to the general untidiness of race filling stations. In spite of this and a more general use of "Miss" and "Mrs." by whites in speaking of race women, the South is much the same, he declared. WHEN AWAY FROM HOME Hotel Rockland The Triumphant R THE WHITE SISTER Others on the program were Samuel Snowden, foreman of the composing room, who gave an interesting and witty reading, "A Day in a Printshop." Robert Haynes, linotyper, who gave a number of extracts from state news and Maurice Lowe, linotyper, who read a paper on newspaper make-up. The program was in charge of the mechanical department.

THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1929 THE PREMATURE WIDOW By MERTON J. CRAWLEY The burden was his beloved Ruby, limp and apparently lifeless; but life was still there Ruby Withers, a fine, attractive dark brown beauty of 20, is unfortunately married to Marcus Withers, a wastrel who has mistreated her and made her life very miserable. He deserted her and refused to contribute to her support. Ruby has a deal of pride and refuses help from all outsiders, though Douglas Hayes, a childhood friend, well-fixed and respectable, is in love with Ruby and wants her to divorce Marcus, to become his wife. They meet one day in a neighborhood drug store and while Ruby is scanning the village newspaper she reads that an unrecognized body has been taken from the bay. The only means of identification of this body was a coat with Marcus' identification in it. This incident leads to a closer friendship between Douglas a n d d Ruby, in spite of the fact that Ruby attempts to be as proud and independent as ever. One evening during their many auto rides Ruby confesses that her mother's health is failing and that the homestead is about to be lost. She also confides in Douglas that her marriage was a mistake and that she never loved Marcus. A few months later Douglas and Ruby are married and happy. Then, one day while Ruby is out motoring, she is bewildered by the appearance of Marcus. Now go on with the story: "He isn't dead? Where did you see him?" "Oh, Douglas, our happiness is— is no more. It's ended. It's my fault." She buried her face in her arms and sank to the table, crying like a child. "I—I—Oh, Father, I wish I was dead." Hayes jumped from his chair, carrying the tablecloth with him, causing a number of dishes and their contents to crash to the floor. He placed a consoling arm about Ruby's shoulders. "Tell me, Ruby, darling," he coaxed. "Tell me about it." She sat up, turning a tear-moistened face up to him. "Now, then, tell me." he said. HOW IT HAPPENED "It was this way," she collectively began. "I had a little trouble with the motor about eight miles up the Rushmere road. I did not know what to do except to phone you. Just as I was about to start walking to Harrington's store, a man came from the woods. He came up to me and caught hold of my arm. It was M-Marcus." She sank again to the table. "Now, Ruby, tell me all of it," coaxed the much upset Hayes. coaxed the much upset Hayes. After a little, Ruby summoned courage enough to face her husband again. "Douglas, he had changed so—all bearded and old looking. He said he was on his way to look for me and ask me if I wouldn't have him back. He said if I wouldn't have him back he'd make me take him. "I told him that he was dead and to please stay dead—that I was *married to you. He said that you in Baltimore, and relieved him of had no need to me and that I was Line thousand. Now they—" married to you. He said that you had no claim to me and that I was his wife. He just laughed when I insisted he was dead. He said that the coat the man they found in the water had on was his. Said he had loaned it to the man before he was drowned. He said that it was lucky for him. "He got the motor to running and said he was going to take me and the car and run off. The motor was running. He told me to get in. I did, and while he went to the rear to see how much gas was in the tank I drove off and came home as fast as I dared drive, Oh, what am I to do?" "Don't worry, dearest. I'll fix that. You won't see him again," consoled Hayes. "He's dead and is going to stay dead." "Douglas, I feel so bad," whimpered the girl. "Oh, I'll die!" She slipped from the table in a fainting heap. Hayes was just in time to prevent her falling onto the floor. He gathered up her limp form and made his way to the bedroom. About half an hour later he returned to the dining room. He had left Ruby quiet and sleepy. He sank wearily into his chair, lit a cigaret and surveyed the mussed table. HIS WIFE'S HUSBAND. Here was he, Douglas Hayes, married to a woman who already had a living husband. Hayes loved Ruby—loved her more each day. He could not endure the thought of giving her up. Was there any way out? Law made Ruby, Withers' wife. Love made her his. Which was the stronger, love or law? He had told Ruby that he would fix everything, but what power had he to fix anything? He could see nothing ahead other than a wrecked happiness—a wrecked home. Then a thought struck him. Maybe he could buy Withers off—pay him to go off and never return. But, then, look at the position in which that would put Ruby. He would be buying her. in a way. But he must keep Ruby, so he would try anything. The first thing was to hunt up Withers. He pondered a, while longer and, then having finally set his mind, he dismissed the subject and turned to the night paper. After reading several front page items of interest, he read of a daring holdup in the city of Baltimore. The bandits had escaped with nine thousand dollars and the police were scouring the country for Tony Paulo and Thomas West, Negro. George Paulo, a third bandit, had been captured and part of the loot recovered. There were pictures of the three below the item. The colored member of the trio was a bearded, shrunken-faced man who looked more of a dope fiend than a bandit. Hayes grunted his disgust and was about to turn the page. A PICTURE OF MARCUS. "Douglas, dear, what is that picture?" Hayes looked up into Ruby's tear-stained eyes. "Feel better, girlie?" he smiled. "Those fellows there, girlie, held up a pay roll messenger "But, Douglas, it looks like—like—It is him—Marcus. It's Marcus just as he lookcd today." "Are you sure, Ruby?" "It's a perfect likeness." "Well, if it is he, we needn't fear any trouble from him. He won't show himself in the light." And the two hearts who dwelt in the little bungalow became lighter. A week drifted by and Withers was all but forgotten. Hayes was confident that Withers would not show himself for fear of betraying himself to the law. "Johnson, I'm going to dinner now," Hayes told his clerk one afternoon. "Be sure to check that candy that just came in. I won't be gone long." Before going home, Hayes went to see a neighbor on some business. The business did not detain him long. "All right. Mr. Hayes," the neighbor was saying at the end of the conference, I'll look after that part of it." "That's fine, Mr. Pinkett," said Hayes and started away. "If you're going home," called Pinkett, "you can take the short cut through the back here, Mr. Hayes." "All right. Thanks." I hadn't thought of that," and Hayes passed from Pinkett's back yard into his own. He would surprise Ruby, by coming in through the kitchen. He entered the kitchen noiselessly. He found the place hot and pungent, with the odors of cooking, but Ruby was not there. A pan containing meat smoked, indicating that the meat was burning. Hayes jerked the pan from the fire and was about to call Ruby, but the sound of voices above the sizzling of cooking, checked him. HAYES LISTENS IN. He listened. The voices came from the dining room. It was Ruby talking—pleading with some one. "You're a dead man. You're dead to me. For the Lord's sake stay dead. Why come back to torture me? Haven't you made me suffer enough?" "I have a right to come to you," spoke a masculine voice, sneeringly. "You're my wife." "The wife of a man who's being hunted all over the country? No!" "That's all a mistake, Ruby. I've simply come for you and I shall have you. Do as I say and all will be easy for you. We can go to Chicago or somewhere. I've it all fixed." "Go. You're a dead man. You must go before my husband gets here." "Your husband!" sneered the man. "That poor fool has no claim to you. I'll show him he hasn't. Your husband! What am I?" "A dead man. Now go." Hayes still stood listening just beyond the door, the victim of a thousand impulses. "Are you coming with me?" demanded the man in the dining room. "Go with me or you're a dead woman." A scream cut the air. Hayes broke into the room like a frenzied beast, at the sight that met his rage- blurred eyes—a bearded, dissipated, shrunken-eyed man with a blunt-nosed gun leveled on Ruby. She trembling, cringed in a corner. Before the man could turn Hayes was upon him in an attempt to seize the gun. Both men went to the floor. Withers on top. On went the scuffle. Ruby could do naught but look on and hope. Chairs were overturned and the room torn up in general. At last Hayes seemed to be getting the better of the struggle. He managed to wrest the gun from Withers and jump to his feet. Withers did likewise, keeping his glaring eyes on his adversary and backing toward the door. "Stand where you are," ordered Hayes, brandishing the captured weapon. "Ruby, phone the sheriff or somebody." Withers, glaring like the beast he was, slowly stole toward the door. Hayes turned to see Ruby dart hesitantly to the phone. Withers took advantage of Hayes' unwatchfulness and dashed out of the door, slamming it behind him. Hayes fired and dashed in pursuit, but found the door locked from the outside. He started to break the door down, but thought better of it. He turned to Ruby. She had sunk listlessly dazed into a chair. Hayes could say nothing; his tongue just refused to work. He went over to her. She rose. He gathered her into his arms. "Douglas, why did you want to call the sheriff? It would only have caused him to be identified and look what a mess that would put us in. He is dead to us, but law would make me-er-Mrs. Withers again." "You're right, sweetheart," agreed Hayes. "I'm mighty glad you didn't phone." Neighbors, hearing the shot, the scuffle and seeing a man fleeing from the house, were soon timidly inquiring as to the cause of the commotion. "What was he, Hayes, a day-light burglar?" asked one man. "I suppose that's what you call them," replied Hayes. "Anyway, we discovered him in the house and he was a rough customer." The neighbors accepted this explanation. One looked at the other. They had their own opinions. Hayes was reluctant to leave for business after dinner, but after much persuasion from Ruby, he went. So upset was Hayes that he could not give his business the proper attention. He did not go home for supper. Hayes' car was standing in front of the place. He locked the door, glanced at his watch by the aid of the street lamp, noted that it was past ten, entered the car and started home. Just as he reached the corner of Church and Main streets, a man stepped into the middle of the street and signalled for him to stop. Hayes applied the brakes to see what the man wanted. The man hurried to the car, opened the door and climbed in beside Hayes. Another man came from somewhere and jumped upon the runningboard. Hayes recognized the men, who were white, as Benny Selby, the sheriff, and Galey, his deputy. "Drive down Church street as fast as you can send her," ordered the sheriff. "Got gas and oil?" "Plenty," replied the bewildered storekeeper. "Let 'er go, then." Hayes obeyed. The car, with its three occupants, dashed down Church street. The commandeering had so surprised Hayes that he had not yet collected his scattered wits. "There's the car!" exclaimed the sheriff. They were almost at Hayes' home. He could dimly discern two men who seemed to be forcing a woman into a car. Before Hayes was abreast of them, the car drove off. All of this Hayes saw in the space of a few moments. Bitter musterings came from his lips. He understood. "Down after that car, Hayes." ordered Selby. While the other car was gathering headway, Hayes overhauled it. In the rear seat sat a woman. She was being held in the car by one of the men. The other man was driving. Selby shouted to them to halt. The man heeded not. A race was on. Out of town they dashed. The two cars were no longer abreast. Hayes having fallen behind. After that, Hayes held his own a hundred yards behind the fleeing car. "Keep 'er going, Hayes," coaxed the sheriff. "I'll catch him if it costs me my life," declared Hayes. "My wife is in that car against her will." "Was that your wife?" asked Selby. "You married Freeman Porter's daughter?" "Yes," snapped Hayes through his teeth. "Maybe I'll have something to tell you later and maybe I won't." On raced the two cars. The pursuer was now doing better as it warmed up. The distance between the cars slowly shortened. The fugitives seemed headed for Suffolk. It all happened so quickly. A waving light ahead. Shouts of men. A woman's scream. A crash followed lay a surging of water. Hayes found himself parked on the rise of a bridge. Just beneath his front fenders lay the open draw through which the other car had disappeared into the marshy waters below. There came shouts and orders from the deck of a schooner whose mast could be seen standing out against the star-bedecked sky. Hayes dashed off his coat, and (Continued on page 22) What the Stars Say About Children THE STAR HE temperaments and talents of children are often explained by careful observation of the astrological signs under which they were born. There are many ways of training the child but there is only one that is best and correct. Different children will naturally need different treatments and methods. Some are more amenable to reason while others would fare better with liberal use of the "rod," still others require kindness and patient teaching. The problem arises as to how the various natures found in children can be best developed. This necessitates careful study of the signs under which the child was born for the natures of children vary according to the month of birth. Youngsters born under the influence of the first month of the year are usually active and aggressive. This very often leads to a tendency to become haughty and proud. Adults tend to flatter them, hence unless they are taught to respect the personality of other people, they will look down upon them and exalt themselves. As they grow older independence of spirit and mind will develop, requiring their elders to deal with them very firmly. In punishing the January child, it is well to be sure that it fully understands what the punishment is for. On the whole it is better to spare the rod with this child. Boys und this sign become good engineers and mechanics. The girls should be encouraged to use their needles for they will prob- When Pain Comes What many people call indigestion very often means excess acid in the stomach. The stomach nerves have been overstimulated, and food sours. The corrective is an alkali, which neutralizes acids instantly. And the best alkali known to medical science is Phillips' Milk of Magnesia. It has remained the standard with physicians in the 50 years since its invention. One spoonful of this harmless, asteless alkali in water will neutralize instantly many times as much $500 If I Fail to Grow Hair I THE JANUARY CHILD GENUINE PHILLIPS MILK OF MAGNESIA For Troubles due to Acid INDIGESTION ACID STOMACH HEARTBURN HEADACHE GASES - NAUSEA THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1929 ably follow dressmaking and millinery. THE FEBRUARY CHILD A great deal will depend upon the moral atmosphere in which February children are reared. They are quick to imitate their elders. They have a tendency to go wrong in later life and should be carefully guarded from bad influences while their natures are being modelled. Promises made to the February child should be kept to the letter. Otherwise, they may form the habit of breaking promises themselves. They have excellent memories. They are extremely lovable. They have a natural fondness for music which should be encouraged. The girls make very good nurses. THE MARCH CHILD Parents of these children should not mistake independence and strength of will for stubbornness. This is frequently done with the result that the good traits referred to are dwarfed and warped. These children are very generous and often give away things that do not belong to them. March children are careless with money, and it is well to give them a good idea of its value. Also these children should be taught to be decisive. The stage and literature attract these children. THE APRIL CHILD These children must be reared tenderly. A sensitive and exceedingly emotional nature causes them to note many little things which other people would pass over. Be careful how these children are punished. It should always be just. Two hours after eating acid, and the symptoms disappear at once. You will never use crude methods when once you learn the efficiency of this. Go get a small bottle to try. Be sure to get the genuine Phillips' Milk of Magnesia prescribed by physicians for 50 years in correcting excess acids. 25c and 50c a bottle any drugstore. "Milk of Magnesia" has been the U. S. Registered Trade Mark of The Charles H. Phillips Chemical Company and its predecessor, Charles H. Phillips, since 1875. These children are loving and frail and often lack self control. It is better to reason with them than punish severely. Be careful to help them choose their companions. April boys are gifted with clever brains, and make good writers. The girls should be trained in artistic studies. Any liking for painting should be encouraged. THE MAY CHILD Parents should be extremely careful of the brain development of these children. They have usually active brains, and will advance much more quickly than other children. In competitive examinations, they excel. The boys have great talents for planning and inventing. Both girls and boys are inclined to argue and expect a reason to be given for everything. They are sometimes given to fits of rebellion and are irritable and peevish when forced to do anything repulsive to them. This must be cured, hence paren should see, about this early. These children should have plenty of outdoor exercise and should be well fed. They are inclined to be exceptionally nervous and irritable. They are very frank and truthful. Their punishment should be stern but not harsh June boys should be allowed the pursuit of traveling. The girls do well at home and take a keen interest in domestic affairs. THE JULY CHILD A good foundation in steadfastness of purpose should be laid in children born in this month. These children should be taught that undertakings once begun should be pursued to a successful end. These children should be taught to be independent of criticism. Tendencies toward loquaciousness should be immediately stopped. They are exceedingly impressionable and shouldn't be allowed to mix too much with adults. July girls are very vain. They are clever and gifted with a good flow of language and often make good lecturers. The boys make good civil and electrical enineers. THE AUGUST CHILD These children should by all means, be understood. They possess so many varying traits that this is not always easy. Intuition should be developed in these children. They are inclined to be lazy. The boys make good sailors. August girls grow to be bright and breezy women. THE SEPTEMBER CHILD A strong will-power is a trait of the September child. Punishment, however, is rarely necessary. If the boys are brought up in a healthy atmosphere, they show great cleverness in later life. The girls prefer outdoor pursuits. THE OCTOBER CHILD These children are destined to be leaders of men. Their observant natures should be encouraged. Don't check them when they ask questions, give kind and patient answers. They are quick to absorb knowledge. The girls will be content in almost any line calling for little individual brilliance. THE NOVEMBER CHILD These children are bright and active. They should be taught to control their feelings. A good plan is to send them away to school as early as possible for companionship with others will do much to improve them. They should be taught to be slower in taking offense and quicker to forgive an injury. The boys make good both on the stage and in the pulpit. As writers they are successful. For the girls, private secretaryships promise congenial employment and they have great executive ability. THE DECEMBER CHILD Love must be the guiding spirit in the training of December children. They are warm-hearted and feel keenly any coldness on the part of their parents. They have quick intuition which teaches them why punishment is often necessary and just for them. All December children have an inherent tendency to procrastinate which should be guarded against by their parents. They are fond of companionship and they can safely lie left to choose their own friends. They are very warmly affectionate, and rarely turn against a friend to whom they have given their confidence. Early in life they show great cleverness. But this frequently gives no indication of what they should ultimately pursue in life. The girls should be encouraged to earn their living by their pens wherever they show a tendency to do so. The boys have a certain amount of inventive genius. DO YOU KNOW? --- A hydrometer is generally used to test a battery, (hydro, water, ter to measure—an instrument for determining the specific gravity, or density, of fluids). When the battery is fully charged the elec' olyte has its greatest density, when its weight as compared with an equal mount of water is 1.25 to 1.3, indicated by a hydrometer reading of 1250 to 1300.

Then he leaped. Five minutes later he and his burden were hauled by four pairs of strong hands to the deck of the schooner. The burden was his beloved Ruby, limp and apparently lifeless, but life was still there. Later she was removed to a nearby farm house where a doctor was summoned. Hayes remained at her side, anxiously awaiting her eyes to open. It was near dawn before he was rewarded. By 7 o'clock she was only suffering a little from shock. Then came the announcement that the two bodies had been recovered from the river. Sheriff Selby sent a request for Hayes to come down to the river. Clad in borrowed clothing, Ruby insisted on accompanying Hayes. On the shore just above the bridge and surrounded by a ring of the curious, lay two forms covered with sheets. "Step here a moment, Hayos," said Selby, and he raised the edge of one of the sheets. Hayes and Ruby beheld a bearded, shrunken-faced corpse. At the sight a strange little sigh escaped Ruby. "Did you know this in, Hayes? asked the sheriff with a meaning look on his red face. "Did you?" asked Hayes for reply. "That isn't answering my question," said the white man in a low guarded tone. "Isn't he Marcus Withers?" "He's dead," answered Hayes simply, looking meaningly into the sheriff's beady, blue eyes. The sheriff blinked understandingly. "This is Thomas West who was wanted by the Baltimore police on the charge of robbing a pay roll messenger. I knew Withers. His body was found in the bay last spring. vet. this is his body." "That was a curse," said Hayes. and taking Ruby by the arm, he moved away.

Dental Editor, Journal National Medical Association. This column written under the auspices of the Public Health Committee of the National Medical Association, will be devoted to pointed paragraphs on the care of the mouth and teeth. Modern dentistry is devoting more attention to disease prevention than to repair. Disease prevention in the child as well as in the adult may well begin in the proper care of the mouth and changed, and thus appearing artificial. The best way to secure a powder the exact-tint of your skin is to mix it yourself. This is done by purchasing two or three boxes of powder, a white brunette and a pink and then little by little, mix the different colors until you arrive at what you want. This is the method used by artists in painting pictures and can be well employed by the woman who wishes to appear at her very best.

My husband is very fond of children so I am greatly pained not to be able to bear him one. I have thought of adopting a child but I fear that it might grow up and be so different from my husband and me and perhaps have some physical or moral deficiency that would hurt us worse than remaining childless. Please give me your advice. CHILDLESS. Do not hesitate to adopt a child for such reasons. Have the child examined by a competent physician and if it proves physically fit now its future health and looks will entirely depend upon how you take care of it. For even if the child were weak when you took it, you could with a proper diet make it fine and robust.

Now, you can insure its future morally also. It is now scientifically proven that morals can not be inherited. No matter how high-minded a child's parents were, unless that child is trained in the same way the parents were, and comes under the same beneficent influences, it will not profit by having had high-minded parents, in the least. You can take any child under three and put it in criminal surroundings and, no matter who its parents were, it will become a criminal. Environment entirely controls the character. J. B. Watson, author of "Behaviorism," has made extensive experiments to prove that a child inherits nothing from its parents save its physical makeup. The child of the most ignorant Eskimo, if raised by a Harvard professor, would reflect all the pedagogical qualities of a university environment. Thus, any adopted child, if taken before it is three, will be just what you train it to be.

She excels in both sport and intellectual fields. A debate was held Wednesday in Douglass auditorium between Morgan and Douglass. The question for debate was, "Should the United States Recognize Soviet Russia?" Erina Kellum, Charles Cephas and James De Shields represented Morgan. Valerie Butler, Phenola Valentine and Helen Rhetta represented Douglass. Naturally Douglass expected to win and she always meets her expectations. Declaration Contest Eighty-five boys and girls entered the "try out" Monday for the declamation contest that is held every year. The seven best speakers of today will be chosen to speak in the final contest. These seven may be Henrietta Brown, William Howard, Avon Long, Valerie Butler, Charles Jackson, Harriet Jones and Phenola Valentine. Who knows? Marathon This contest, like all other contests, had its losers and winners. Unfortunately this time, however, the winner was from another city. Speaks bad for Baltimore. eh? Eddie Lee took first prize while John Carroll took second. There were eight others who received medals also at the Regent Theatre Saturday night. Seems as though it is ring season as well as spring season. Beatrice Tate is wearing a ring of some graduate of the class of '28, Wahseeola Male has been wearing a cameo ring and Harrison Diggs is wearing a birth-stone ring. Ring, ring, spring! Percy Matthews swears he's getting a break with Corrie Carter. He was her escort to the commencement exercises, dance, and 'to the Royal to see "Two Lovers." Percy has given Corrie the nickname "Dimples." Tee! hee! Maceo Howard and Edythe Cardoza renewed their friendship. They were seen at Ford's last Thursday night. Hot to death, isn't he? The two Earls, Earl Koger and Earl Anderson, were rivals for the dances of Esther Waters at Geneva Brown's "hop." Howard Lee got away immensely with a "Miss Virgil" at the Rumese formal dance. Oh, ees? William Howard seems to be the center of attraction at Douglass. His singing has won as many hearts as Avon Long's won in the "opera." Some girls have gone goo goo over him. ```markdown ``` Let Us Mend Yours HELLO Last House Warming of the Season MONUMENTAL LODGE AT THE HOME THURSDAY, DANCING FROM MUSIC BY PROF.

GENERAL Marathon PERSONAL MORGAN-BLUEFIELD TIE IN DEBATE Teams Discuss Effects of Harvey Firestone Rubber Interests in Liberia. GIRL LEADS TEAM Both Sides Show Careful Analysis of Subject. With a peppy little co-ed leading them in battle, the snappy Bluefield Institute trio locked horns with the Morgan debate team and held them to a tie Thursday evening on what Harvey Firestone is doing in Liberia. Bluefield upheld the cause of the rubber magnate while Morgan pointed out the economic and social dangers involved in the deal. Both sides showed careful analysis of the subjects and had arrayed a set of facts and figures that would do credit to more mature investigators. The Bluefield debaters held that in spite of the intentions of Firestone the ultimate outcome, which would be to increase educational, economic and social advantages, would work to the advantage of Liberia. Morgan contended that the Liberian government had sold themselves into 99 years of economic bondage and listed abuses growing out of the deal which would far outweigh the advantage. $2000 Bond for Ammons' Estate Letters of administration were granted to Adelaide A.

CONTESTS LOOM Predict Mayorality and State Contests Will Be Tight. Four, and perhaps five, race constables will he among those pieented to the First Branch ‘ity Council Monday, according to information given the AFRO- AMERICAN from a reliable source this week, While all city councilmen are keep- ing the names of those selected with- in the caucuses, it is known that a number of well known political sieu- tenants in the Fourth Distvict are slated for appointment. Up to G. 0. P. Considerable uneasiness existed last week when it became known that although the “Judicial” insurgent Democratic James J. O'Meara, was willing to go along with any reason- able plan whereby he and the Repub- licans could put through the slate, the works were being stopped by some of the Republican members who were holding out against plans of the caucus. Leaders say that the whole mat- ter is up to the Republicans, and that if the slate, carrying the names of colored. constables, does not go through it will be because some of the ‘Republican members threw a monkey wrench. The fight is being complicated by the bitter feud be- tween the Jackson and Curran fol- lowers. Some of the Republican councilmen are inclined to throw their weight with Curran; but O Meara’s recent alignment with the Jackson faction makes it necessary to stand solidly behind dthat’ group, it has been pointed out. Political onlookers see hotly-con- tested mayorality and State elec- tions, and point out that such a con- test will be of great benefit to the group. Va. Union Alumni Host to Teacher Dr. and Mrs. J. B. Simpson of Virginia Union University, Richmond. Virginia, were the guests of the Bal- timore Chapter of the Virginia Un- ion Alumni Association at a spring get-to-gether and luncheon held in their honor last Saturday night. The affair was held at the home of Rev. Beale Elliott and his specious par- lors made a beautiful setting for the happv gatherings. Early in the evening the guests arrived and after an informal greeting repaired to the dining room, where a tempting menu had been prepared, ‘Mr. Miles W. Connor. president of the chapter. introduced Rev. A. J. Payne, chairman of committee of ar- rangements and toastmaster.. Rev. Payne presented Dr. Simpson-'as one of the most influential and the most beloved profesSors the university ha: ever had. In his response, the doctor gave a brief survey of the present status of the university and at length of the trip to Athens which he and Mrs. Simpson made last summer. The following members of the Baltimore chapter made this occa- sion possible, Mr. Emmett Coleman and Mr. Miles W. Connor, Drs. Geo. McDonald, George L, Hall, Revs. Beate Elliott, Arthur J.

NO DECISION REACHED National Not to Buy Imcom- plete Masonic Temple. WASH., D. C. (Special) —The National ‘Benefit Life Insurance company has accepted the invitation of Chicago business men to - look over the Windy City with the idea of transfer- ing its home office there, Secretary S. W. Rutherford told the AFRO Monday. The Chicago delegation which spent three days here in confer- ‘ence with National Benefit officials, was headed by Jesse Binga, presi- dent of the Binga State Bank; Louis B. Anderson, Chicago alderman; Adelbert Roberts, Illinois State sena- tor; Lucius C. Washington, veal estate operator; Charles Jackson, Jeading undertaker; Dr. Ulysses Grant Daley, physician, and others. Flattering indycements are said to have been offered to the local firm to make the change, which ‘would add a new million dollar enterprise to the growing Negro business world of Chicago, and assure the sant ing of a National Bank charter to the Binga State Bank. The removal of the National Bene- fit Life Insurance company to the Windy City, would affect the more than 300 persons now employed_in their office here in Washington. The fact that the budget to carry such a force to Chicago would exceed very greatly, the sum necessary to main- the force in Washington, is given as one of ‘the .reasons which may halt the transfer. - Mr. Rutherford said also that the Chicago trip was planned for the near future out of courtesy to the men who had come to Washington with the offer. NOT TO BUY TEMPLE. Reports that the company is to buy the incompleted Masonic Tem- ple at Tenth and U streets, for 2 new home are unofficial, Mr. Ruth- erford said. The company has been asked to take the half million dollar build- ing over from the Masons who have found themselves unable to finance the new building which has stood half finished now for over three years. Recently it was advertised for sale at pubiie auction with first trust mortgages of some $268,000.

Every ses- sion Started on the moment sched- uled with nine-five per cent of the delegates in their seats where they remained except when on their feet for the animated searching discus- sion which followed every paper. President Harry H. Pace pointed out, Negro companies no longer re- gard themselves as competitors. “We are striving for the same goal and whatever any of our organizations wins stays within the group.” Mr. Pace said the companies recognized their real competitors as the white groups, seeking similar business, as one great organization of that type has more than_a billion dollars worth of insurance upon Negro lives. Of the two and one half billion dollars worth of insurance which the colored people of the country carry on their lives the colored companies have three hundred and twenty mil- lion. ‘These companies have two million dollars capital. Last year they wrote nineteen million. five hun- dred thousand dollars worth of busi- ‘emia 9,000 Employed They employ nine thousand or more people and have an annual payroll of six million dollars; since their organization they have paid more than fifty million dollars worth of death claims. ~ Accomplishments The accomplishments of the or- ganization as . cited by Mr. Pace, during the past year were: the de- velopment of a spirit of co-operation an unprecedented increase in new business and annual income, along with the employment of larger num- bers of individuals, the saving of mon- ey througk the exchange of informa- tion concerning applicants turned down by various companies, the pro- tection from unscrupulous agents fired by other companies, the adop- tion of a group advertising program and the raising of the standard of medical examiners. Advertising Pays _Referring to the benefits of adver- tising, Mr. Pace said: “There has been placed in opera- tion during the current year the plan of cooperative advertising among the members of the association, which I believe has been helpful in many ways. Each company has had the advantage of the advertising in many of our papers throughout the coun- try for which we could not have. paid separately and alone. That adver- tising has brought a higher feeling of respect for the business of insur- ance among us, and it has attracted attention in @ profitable and sub- stantial way.” ‘The speaker urged the adoption of a policy of patronizing Negro busi- nesses, declaring this to be the only way in which the Negro as a race can build a strong economic founda- tion and a source of employment and wealth. Physicians Steps were taken for the establishment of a medical examiner's bureau, Medical directors and physicians present were: Dr. G. W. Ish, Little Rock: Dr. C. W. Snyder, Loulsville; Dr, Numa, P.

SLEUTH SAW HUBBY IN BOOM 34, WIFE SAYS Mrs. Banks Says She Will Testify He and Woman Were Surprised in Hotel. EXPLAINS PHOTO "Nothing in It," She Tells Afro-American Reporter. Striking back at recent statements of her husband, Mrs. Malinla Banks, 752 Dolphin street, told an AFRO-AMERICAN reporter this week that she had facts aplenty upon which to base her divorce proceedings against her churchman husband, Robert "We will see who gets the divorce," she snapped, after reading her husband's statement in a recent issue of BARNS. Hotel Affair In her petition, already filed in court, she says she will testify that a private detective entered Room 34 of a local hotel and found her husband and a woman having retired for the evening. That Photo Explaining the possession of a picture by her husband, in which she is shown in Gloucester, Mass., with the arm of a man around her shoulder, Mrs. Banks declares that there is nothing to the picture. The man, Mr. Franklin, she says has never been any more than a platonic friend and the picture was taken in the presence of a number of other people. She brought it back for him once, she says. HILBURNS TO FIGHT IT OUT IN COURT Effort of Wife to Have Testimony Taken in Private Is Blocked By Doctor The domestic affairs of Dr. and Mrs. James H. Hilburn again bobbed up in court here this week when within in a few hours' duration two orders were signed ending in the possibility of arising the whole affair again in open court... Tuesday morning Mrs. Olivia E. Hilburn, through George W. Evans, attorney, secured an order signed by Judge Bend, granting her permission to take testimony, in private, before one of the standing examiners of the court. At 3:00 p.m. the same day Dr. James H. Hilburn, represented by J. Howard Payne, was granted a petition which rescinded the order granting Mrs. Hilburn this permission, and which in turn gives him the right to have the testimony taken in open court. The Hilburn divorce case has been in court for more than a year, a reciliation, having halted proceedings started by Mrs. Hilburn in which the placed in evidence a number of "Dear Buster" letters which she had were written by a Texas wife and teacher to the doctor. Other sensational disclosures on both sides are said to be threatened when the matter comes to trial. A Dangerous Condition "There was a time when my health was not so good," says Miles Hopkins, of Catlettsburg, Ky. "I suffered a great deal from gas pains. My system was saturated with poison which was not properly eliminated. From time to time I had severe headaches, and I felt sluggish and dull. "I knew of Black-Draught as a medicine for CONSTIPATION so I thought I would try it. For a while I took a small dose every night until my system was rid of the accumulated poison. "I gained in weight and my general health was good. That experience made me realize the merits of Black-Draught. I kept it in my home and when I begin to feel lifeless and dull, I take a dose, after which I feel O. K. again. "I try to keep my system cleansed, and I find Black-Draught a great aid."

WIFE GETS CHILDREN $10 Weekly for Support. Two old shabby suits of clothes held the the center of the stage and produced hilarious moments in the hotly contested divorce tilt between Dr. and Mrs. Edward M. Boyle, which ground through a whole day in Circuit Court Thursday. The two suits, drawn from a suit case by Dr. Boyle, were intended to demonstrate to what straitened circumstances Mrs. Bertha D. Boyle had actually brought him during his practice in Newark, N.J. The doctor had testified that while Mrs. Boyle went about in regal attire, he had to wear suits as shown in exhibit 1, but the court ruled the suits as of little relevance, as a crowded court room chuckled. Case a Draw Friends of both parties regard the decision of Judge Duke Bond a draw. Following her testimony that on several occasions the doctor had cursed abused and beaten her, that he had driven her from the home and taught the children to disrespect her. Judge Bond held the evidence uncorroborated and advised to seek a divorce on abandonment grounds one year hence. In the meantime she is to receive $10 weekly support and this amount may be increased to correspond with the earnings of Dr. Boyle. Accused Wife In his testimony Dr. Boyle accused his wife cf unfaithfulness, declaring that on one occasion he came home and found Mrs. Boyle in the embrace of a man whom he did not know. In her testimony Mrs. Boyle denied in toto this accusation, declaring that Dr. Boyle on the occasion when this incident was alleged to have occurred, hid behind a piano while she went to church and upon her return became enraged and flourished a pistol after she had discovered a shadow which turned out to be he. Used Threat: Mrs. Boyle also declared that at a pistol's point Dr. Boyle made her sign away interest in their New Jersey home and that he placed it in the name of his niece. Miss Edna Elliott. This had been done, she said, because she refused to allow him to disnose of the place. Three weeks before the trial, Mrs. Boyle testified. Dr. Boyle approached her in an attempt to trap her into making false statements on the promise that she could produce any charges she wanted that would give him absolute freedom. Dr. Boyle testified that Mrs. Boyle left the children in their home while he was away and abandoned them. In rebuttal Mrs. Boyle produced a witness to substantiate her statement that she had left the children in care of a friend living in the same house. Among witnesses testifying for Mrs. Boyle were: Mrs. Annie Pitchins, Dr. L. C. Curtis, Mrs. Marv Kenard and Samuel Matthews. Washington attorney, who sought to effect a reconciliation. Testifying for Dr. Boyle were: Mrs. Josephine Blackburn, Mrs. Bertha Williams, the Rev. Mr. Garnett and Miss Edna, Elliott, a niece. Miss Elliott testified that while living in the home, she had never known Dr Boyle to strike or abuse his wife. The Bowles were married in Washington in 1907 and have three children. Before her marriage, Mrs. Bowlle was Miss Bertha Stokes, member of one of Washington's most prominent families. Two sisters are now teachers in the District of Columbia. DR. ERNEST WILLIAMS LEFT SUM OF $2,567.84 According to a report made by Samuel Williams, administrator, in the estate of the late Dr. Ernest Williams, former pastor of Metropolitan M.E.

"However, the challenge is out and Mt. Horam has made history. I am determined to carry on my work in peace. if possible but can promise immunity for none should I be placed on the defensive."
