BUS CONDUCTORS QUESTION; LET REPORTERS ON Fayette Street Conductor Officers Resistance but Allows Passenger to Ride. UP TO MAYOR AFRO Seeks to Find Attitude Executive Will Take. Pictures on Page 10 AFRO-AMERICAN reporters found some conductors still using the bluffing tactics, but that persistence is all that is needed to ride on busses, in the third week of the campaign to place responsibility for jim-crow busses operated by the Baltimore United Street Railway company. They also found that the policy of the United in instructing its bus drivers to "tell Negroes they can't ride, but don't put them off" was weakening. At 4:40 p.m. Saturday a reporter boarded Bus 58 of the Fayette street line at Howard and Saratoga streets. Two white passengers boarded bus at the same time. The reporter dropped in the box and set the second seat from the front. The conductor made no remarks and the reporter after riding several blocks left the bus. Signaling the Howard and Mulberry states in the same way, the reporter signalled for Bus 63 to stop, but the driver slowing down, and seeing that no white passengers were waiting at the stop, stepped on the gas and sped Put Hand Over Fare Box When the reporter attempted to board Bus 62 at Mulberry and Howard streets at 5 p.m., the conductor placed his hand over him from dropping his fare. "Where do you want to go? asked the conductor. When told that the reported wanted to go out Fayette street, the driver countered with: "This bus don't go out Fayette street. We go out Balti- Rides Bus Anyhow Sensing the situation the reporter left the bus and rushed down to Saratoga and Howard street, where when the bus was held up issue number 25 the same bus dropped in his fare and rode to Fayette street and Park avenue. The driver turned almost every shade of the rainbow, but made no comment. The reporter found no difficulty in riding Bus 56 of the Fayette street line. He boarded the bus at Howard and Franklin streets and then Howard street to take the Passengers on the bus needed to take his riding as a matter of course. Ride on Charles Street On the Charles street the reporter again found difficulty in riding the bus at the Union Station and riding down town. Up to City Just what attitude the city administration will take in the matter of barring race citizens on public service buses using airport buses would be unable to reach Mayor Broening this week. One of the Mayor's secretaries has so secretly specific information as to whether prospective passengers were actually barred from the buses. It was also suggested in the Mayor's office that the Mayor Walter T. McGuinn and Walter S. Emerson.

WHITE GRADS WOULDN'T STAND FOR JIM-CROW Boston Hotel Barred Colored Girl; they Hold Prom at Another Hostelry. RACE GIRL CHEERED Miss Isabel Taylor Given Ovation at Commencement. BOSTON. Mass.—More than 400 white Dorchester high school graduates refused to hold their prom at the Statler hotel when they were told that they would have to bar Miss Isabel Taylor, the lone race girl in the class, here last week. Putting their feet down squarely against Jim-crowning a number of Ball classmates added to stand by Miss Taylor and secured the bail room of another hotel where they were reported to have had one of the most proms in the history of the school. GETS OVATION At the graduation exercises held at Codman's Square theatre the entire class again expressed their disapproval of the jim-crow attitude by wildly cheering Miss Cox and stepped forth to receive her diploma. Hotel Statler is said to have gradually assumed a discriminatory attitude toward the singers invited to broadcast over station WBZ which had its headquarters there, on approaching the passersby and was asked to take the freight elevator. Commenting on the incident the Boston Review end an editorial with the following comment: "Just why the Boston hotel discriminates against women when there was one colored girl in the party, is something which is not generally apparent when that hotel has yet to discriminate against women. Friday afternoon at the Codman Square theatre, she was applauded by her classmates with a vigor that told how they felt concerning one of the hotel's mitwit policy. If the founder of that hotel system was alive, the discrimination would not have been made, or the women have been ousted with very little delay. Perhaps the managerial nit-wits thought that if one colored graduate of Codman's Square function in the ballroom of that hostelry, the hotel management would have been rebuked by Helfin and Blease. And maybe they could possibly by two or three Southern legislatures." Diplomat on Visit CHICAGO -- Consul William J.

Sorenson demanding that officials of North Platte swear in enough officers to insure the safe return of 400 race citizens driven from that town by a mob Saturday, they began to trick back to the office. The attorney general also allowed that he would begin at once an investigation to apprehend and punish to the full extent of the law members of the mob responsible for deporting those thieves and taxpayers of North Platte." Scene Pitiable Those who witnessed the wild scenes of lawlessness which attended the siege of Jerusalem, clare that they were pilled and heart rending. "Mothers with babies in their arms were with their knicks dragging other children along with them." The mob action followed the alleged killing of a white police officer who was rested on a minor charge, Sellman, it was said, had come back to North Platte after a judge had ordered him to leave for beating a young race Driven Out Although Seelman shot himself to death in a cellar after officers and special officers had trapped him, he was allowed to take charge of the town and drive every colored citizen away. Instead of trying to stop the exodus, they were able to impress that they got out with as little bloodshed as possible. Sores of men were set upon and beaten by members of the mob, and in one case they took a man to edge of the city and him to him at his heels as he disappeared. Women Molested In several instances the men set upon helpless women and beat an mistreated them. They hurt bricks and stones in the hames and the sword in the Liquor flowed freely and the entire colored population left either on foot, or in cars. Shoiff A. J.

J. R. Faulkner Admits Virtual Slave Traffic in West Africa. President Gets $15 for Each Laborer Shipped Out. Traffic in forced labor, amounting virtually to slavery, exists in Liberia, according to Thomas J. R. Faulkner, now visiting friends in Baltimore. Mr. Faulkner was born in North Carolina, married a Baltimore girl and took her wife with him to Liberia year after year. It is now a full fledged Liberian citizen and was a candidate of the Party's Party for president two years ago. Before coming here he travelled for several weeks in Europe and expected to return there some time next October. Forced Labor Mr. Faulkner admitted that Reymond Leslie Buiell makes a correct statement in his new book, "The Native Problem in n Africa," concerning the system of forced labor. Mr. Faulkner says a reservation is being saved, and Faulkner says people are leaving the country in large numbers rather than remain to be forced into slavvy. The country is fast becoming depopulated. A census, he said, would probably show that instead of 1,500,000 people in the population is nearer to 800,000. The System Explained Explaining the system, Mr. Faulkner said. "Natives are forced to work on the roads nine months of the year. They are compelled to furnish their own equipment to work and receive no compensation whatever. Chiefs Fined "Upon failure of the chief to supply the demanded number of men, he is at once heavily fined and forced to pay cash or go to jail. Often their men are taken away and children to get money to pay their fines. "Natives are frequently whipped so severely on the roads that they report in a long report, however, is made, because of the high government, officials implicated. President King Involved "Coupled with this condition of forced labor, is the more pernicious activity in the form of shipping laborers to the Spanish Island of Fernanda Po. This is carried on thru the office of the Liberian government and it is impossible to ask the courts to order any other official body to interfere. "Spaniards pay $50 for each Liberian laborer they rob. Of this amount of money $15舍去 to President King, $15 to the shipping agent, a number of petty officials and five dollars to the headman of the tribe who picks out the natives. Officials Are Shipping Agents "Allen C. Yancey, vice president of Liberia, is the shipping agent for the county, the banker for a Ross banker general, is shipping agent for the county of Since. These agents are appointed by King. "Secretary of State, Edwin Baxley, gets the county L. Morris secretary of public works, five shillings for each boy shipped. "Former native African commissioner-general, Reginald G. Sherman was dismissed for offence in the Sherman protest against the traffic in laborers."

Kansas City Journal-Post Calls Illinois M.C. a "None too Good Demagogue." Will Offer Bill Placing Elections Under U.S. Control. ST. LOUIS. (Special)— Congressman Oscar DePriest, speaking at the Odeon theatre here last week, urged the election of a colored congressman from Twelfth district to supplant L. C. Dyer, white. Dyer defeated Joseph L. McLemore, race Democrat in the last election. Colored people have 36 per cent of the required vote in this district and 60 per cent of the registered Republican vote: DePriest said: "The white Democrats and the white Republicans are so evenly matched in strength that if you can get the Negro vote properly organized you will hold the balance of power in St. Louis. But nobody going to vote for you, and I don't blame them. The only weapon you have to fight for you is the ballot, and it ought to be used to get for you every right that every person matters in what party your friends are, elect them to office. There is prejudice against Negroes in all political parties. I own my first allegiance to those who are the people who have been Jim Crowed and persecuted as I have been." "You will always find when you are asked to organize that some Negro is being paid by a white man to keep you divided. The success of your enemies depends upon this." Editorial War in Kansas City Kansas City, Mo. "Oscar DePriest is a demagogue, of none too good mind, character and achievement who goes about setting up friction between the two leaders of a leader because his wife was invited to a White House tea," so said the Kansas City Journal-Post, white. Wednesday after the DePriest speech, "I thank you." "His country and his party have been pretty good to Oscar DePriest. His own career gives the lie to his charges. Yet he does not hesitate to stir up the feeling of harm of both whites and Negroes." The Negroes of Chicago and the rest of the country can do better by themselves than to follow the leadership of a man available many men of greater intelligence who have the welfare of their race more at heart than the aggrandizement of themselves." Call Replies C. A. Franklin, editor of the Kansan press, front page editorial follows a follow-up. "The Journal-Post disproves its own argument when it says DePriest's district and race," and then cites the same record to prove America has been pretty good to Oscar DePriest. In the face of this popularity and political strength enough to win election to high office, the first of his race in a general election is of greater intelligence, but discreetly refrains from naming him.

It is they who wrong, because he says what we feel. Federal Election Bill CHICAGO—Oscar DePriest in a public address here July 14, before 1,000 persons admitted he had asked he would not permit this to halt his speaking engagements in the South. He invoked his audience he would introduce a bill in Congress to put national elections in the hands of a Federal election board. He said: "We want to put the ballot for ballots. I propose to introduce a Federal election law bill that will create more storm than the White House to party.

(ANP)—Concern has been shown in Florence, Alabama, the birthplace of Congressman Oscar Carr, the priest. The congressman relative to the three lynching victims which he saw in that vicinity when a boy. A systematic research was made in Florence, involving a checkup of the men lynched in investigation revealed that the three men lynched were white men accused of assault, that the DePriest family was well off, and that the family was well thought of by both white and colored inhabitants. When these disclosures were brought to the attention of Mr. DePriest by a representative of the Press, the congressman stated: "All of this is very interesting to me. If those who have busied themselves to ascertain whether or not I was correct in my statement, I was correct in any way, they have missed their mark. I did not say that the men, whose bodies I saw suspended from trees, were Negroes. I said three men. Their findings bear out my statement that there was a lynching. I said that they me correctly there were two white men and one Negro."

And it's all because Highland Beach and Venice Beach are built side by side on the bay, owned mainly by Washingtonians, cannot quietly share the finest beach on the bay together. July Fourth, a five-foot barbed wire fence was erected on the divided shore of Venice Beach, this was done by order of Mayor Haley Douglass of Highland Beach. Next day, evidently by order of Mayor Bob Taylor, Venice Beach, who says the posts were on his property, wire cutters were employed, the barbed wire snapped and the heavy posts uprooted. Communication between the two resorts are a fifteen foot walkway, extending along property owned by Perry Howard in Venice Beach and used both as a footpath and driveway by auctions. Improved lots owned by Miss Nannie Burroughs in Highland Beach, and Douglass Holmes in Venice Beach. The Burroughs' lot lies between Wakefield and Annozean McKinley's hotel. Highland Beach wants both openings closed. Venice Beach doesn't object, but it won't stand for barbed rods so much like saying they were inferior. So the fuss goes on, with Highland Beach looking out of its back norch. right into the back porch of Venice Beach and thinks. DELEGATION Mayor Taylor who originally owned all the Venice Beach lot, has a home in Highland Beach. He led a delegation to Annapolis this week to the development and prevent encroachments from Highland Beach. MAYOR DOUGLASS TALKS. According to Mayor Douglass, who is a grandson of Frederick Douglass: the fence was erected so to efface effort on both ways, the water front between the two resorts. He disclaims any intention of barring the Highland Beach water front. He says: "The fence was intended to serve the purpose of indicating the limit of the property that outsiders might know when they were trespassing." "Like other shore resorts, Highland Beach is confronted by a constantly increasing threat of persecution by some of whom refuse to avail themselves of hotel facilities, preferring to bathing suits in autos or in the shrubbery, and otherwise to stay in the town is endeavoring to regulate such practices, but is helpless if these elements can accomplish their purposes by stopping a few hundred feet up on beach beyond the corporation limit." IN VENICE BEACH. The boundary line between the two communities although it has been surveyed and resurveyed several times, is still a source of discussion and many claim that the latest incident is sure to lead to court action.

Architect Sues Pastor for $101.250 Damages J. A. Langford Says Rev. James Marshall Caused Him to Lose Contract. WASHINGTON, D.C. — John A. Lankford, architect, who has made a specialty of designing and constructing church buildings, filed suit in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia last Saturday against the Rev. James Marshall, pastor of the First Colored Baptist Church, and his wife, Mrs. Marie Madre Marshall, a public school teacher, for alleged defamation of his personal and professional reputation. He asks damages in the sum of $101,250. He was given a contract by the First Colored Baptist Church on July 9, 1928, for the architectural work in connection with the building of a new church. Lankford states in his declaration. Rev. Marshall made an inquiry into his fitness to perform the work, he says. He asked the Rev. W. L.

Lankford says When the Pilgrim Baptist Church was held with the head, Lankford states, the building inspector would not approve his plans because of changes in the zoning law. Lankford charges that the Rev. and Mrs. Marshall caused it to be believed that his building plans for the Pilgrim Baptist Church were approved, in efficiency and that he was morally unreliable and dishonest and that if permitted to proceed with his contract, the church would be forced to perform its duties to make the building perform fully his contract. As a result, he alleges, at a meeting of the building committee on July 15, 1928, the First Colonel Coburn repudiated its contract with him. ATTORNEYS Houston and Houston represented Lankford.

Lone Star HAWA REGISTERED USS BUILT HAIR AND TO P Inspectors Claim they Found 33 Letters at His Possession While at Home. Mail Losses Uncovered Over Long Period of Time. WASHINGTON, D. C. — The mystery of repeated thefts of money from letters addressed to residents of the Northwest section was believed by postal inspectors to be solved with the arrest of Marion H. Fender, 51 years old, of 1959, who was working in the Park Road postal station, the inspectors announced Tuesday. Pender is charged with embezzling and secreting money from the mails. He was arranged Monday before United States District Court for the state for and for the section of the grand jury under bond of $2,000. was locked in a cell at the first pre-incident pending his posting bond. He was trapped with "test" letters and marked money, the inspectors say, and has made a "full confession." 33 Letters Pender was arrested by postal inspectors after a "process of elimination" had centered support in the B. Satterfield, inspector in charge of the Washington division of the Postal Inspection Service. He was charged with the "thirty-three letters, including the "test" letters and marked money, were found in his possession, the inspectors say. Inspector Satterfield said, after numerous complaints regarding undelivered mail were received from patrons of the Park and the Parkside, the most money was involved, but not in registered letters. "Test" Letters The inspectors last Saturday put in the mail a number of the test letters with currency inclosed. Pender's duties required him to distribute these letters, bringing them to the curious carriers operating out of the station. The letters failed to reach the hands of the carriers, and Sunday morning the officers found them in Pender's possession at his home. They had not been made as yet, they deceived Pender made a complete confession, Inspector Satterfield said, but insisted the thefts had been few in number. The inspector said he believed that the letters "offered" men his alleged misdeeds, mail losses at the station having been noted over a long period. Small Snms Most of the thefts involved small sums. Satterfield said, and the aggregate losses are not thought to have been high. Pender felt the money in the envelopes with his fingers, the inspector said, and held out these letters from the general distribution.

CHRISTIANS NOT LIKE JESUS, JONES ADMITS Snobbery, Race Prejudice, Exploitation, Stand in Way Says Ex-Bishop. INDIANS WATCH U. S. Race prejudice is one of four immoralities standing in the way for clearing the way for Christ, according to E. Stanley Jones, writing in the current issue of the American Magazine. Dr. Jones is a native of Clarksville, Md., born in 1884, attended City College in Baltimore and Ashbury College in Kentucky. In 1907 he went to India as a missionary of the Methodist Episcopal Church in his profession. He prepares, but the board has waency in India and asked him to go there. Four hundred thousand copies of his book, "The Christ of the Road," sold so detailly his experiences of 17 years as a missionary in India. 24 Hours a Bishop At the Kansas City general conference of the NAACP he elected a bishop. He resigned after one day in the Episcopal office and continue his misdemeanor in India. The second is the appalling death of reality in the church professed Christians. The third is race prejudice and the fourth is economic exploitation. No Brotherhood Dr. Jones said recently on a train he noticed a pulman porter reading a book to me. "I asked him why it interested him and he said, 'Because it teaches me brotherhood.' "Doesn't Christianity? asked him. "No he answered, 'not of brotherhood—this apart from race.' "Is our Christian brotherhood limited to the white race? It is even more so than the black." "Jesus was born in Asia. Therefore He could not get into that Christian Church in South Africa of which Gandhi read, for a sign on the church reads, 'Asiatics and Hotentots not allowed.' "A friend of mine had said in an address that Jesus was the son of a woman came up to him trembling from head to foot, the bottom had dropped out of her reliation because of the suggestion that Jesus might not have been so white." Jesus Brown "When we think of the Jew we picture the Jew of today, who has been covered, out of the deserts and pastures for nearly 2,000 years. The Arabs of today look as the Jews of today in century—and the Arab is brown." "Each individual should have his chance," said Dr. Jones. "The test should be personal not racial. The only truly Christian society is one in which every child born in society can have an equal opportunity with every other child to rise to the top if its inherent powers will allow it to do. And this apart from race and birth and color." Lynching Dr. Jones says there is never a lynching or race riot in the United States that the news is not headlined the next morning in the Indian pa- per- Everything that touches on racial animosics, color prejudice, exploitation of weaker people is broadcast." he said. K.K.K. Known in India Several years ago he was speaking to a large non-Christian audience in the Punjab when a man at the back of the crowd blurted out, "What do you know?" "It had hardened the revival of the Ku Klux Klan then, yet the Indias knew of it." "Religion will not save injustice," "Gifts to ploys and philanthropic causes will not excuse starvation wages to your employees. Church attendance and Bible reading will not make up for a human treason. You cannot treat a person and expect him to respect your religion." Couldn't Join Dr. Jones said he attended a great Christian conference in Lausanne, Switzerland, some time ago. All the leading denominations but one were there and the possibility of reunion of the churches, but they were so far apart that the delegates could not even join together in the Lord's supper. Adopted Christ "One of the developments in the last decade in India has been the widespread adoption of Christ as the highest god, but hundreds of thousands in India who reverence Christ will not go into a Christian church to hear about him. Their instinct is growing up in India entirely separate from the Christian church. Jesus has become naturalized in India. He is a part of their heritage now. He is a part of Asia, that he came from a subject people and there is even a local movement which claims that Jesus lived in India. They are accepting Christ but drawing a picture of what they accept of the church. Couldn't Get In "Thehoe was right when he pointed out that 'Jesus could not get into America under the present immigration law because, first of all, He would not have the necessary power to be a third count on which He might be excluded—that He was a revolutionary." Not Like Him "Jesus is ideal and wonderful, said Bara Dada, the kindly old philosopher of India, one evening, as we talked for long hours in the dark but you Christians—you are not like Him."

In the verbal tilt which followed, Dr. Turner threatened to read some letters which he said Davis wrote asking Dr. Turner Grand Chancellor Reid. The editor challenged him to read them. Friends interrupted and stopped the argument. Later in the session when Davis was again interrupted on the floor the epithet "jackass" at the doctor and another encounter was narrowly avoided. At the request of the supreme chancellor, Editor Davis apologized to the WIELDS KNIFE: Some time later, however, the two men met in the rear of the building and renewed the discussion. It was evident that both men accused the other of double-crossing. "You took $300 from me at the Kansas G.O.P. national convention and then double-crossed me," Davis charged. "You lie." Turner shouted back at Davis. "We were instructed to vote for Ben Davis as national committeeman and you took the $300 for railroad fare, board and so forth to go to Kansas. We also double-crossed me and declared Mr. Davis." "You are a liar." shouted Dr. Turner as he drew a knife and struck furiously at Davis. "We were caught as the knife passed close to Davis' breast and friends held him as Davis, seemingly paralyzed by surprise, regained his pose and got out of striking disarray." Turner continued to lunge at him. Alice Sues Kip's Dad for $500,000 WHITE PLAINS, N.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, July 20, 1929 CONGO WOMEN PLEASE PARIS CROWDS Women Can Carry Dinner Plate on Distended. Lower Lip. MEN ARE GIANTS Curious Touch Native Skin to See if Black Comes Off. PARIS.-On exhibition at the Jardin d'Acclimatation is an astonishing sight: Six women from the Lake Chad region of the Congo with lips so distended that a dinner plate may be held in the circle of flesh. Imagine a duck with rounded bill instead of long, and one will get some idea. Indeed the comparison goes further, for the sounds they make in talking appropriate, the noise made by a duck than the human voice. S The women are strongly built and are nude to the walst, the lower part, of their bodies being seen with cows' hide. Their bodies are tattooed all over, and the entire length of their ears are covered with tings. The woman has twenty-four in each ear. All smoke pipes and do their native dance to the sound of music from a statement, made of gourds, reed, copper and two tail drums. The orchestra is composed of four men of Herculean build and the finest, well-muscelled physiques. The teeth of all are sharpened, and all are of a blackness which serves to show how much the darkest skinned Negroes in America are in a climate climate. They speak no language but their own. A great crowd fills at all times the enclosures in which they are kept, and as they pass through the audience taking up a collection, the children and some of the grown-ups rub their fingers on the black bodies, and then look to see whether any of the color has come off. The distended lip is the latest style from the Congo. Gardin is also an African village, whose inhabitants are brought from Senegal, and who show all the activities of West African native life. New York Elks Waiting, Watching NEW YORK—(ANP)—New York's Elk lodges are not falling in line behind the proposed Holstein boom in spite of the pressure that is being brought to bear upon several prominent landowners. With disinterested air the lodges in the Borough of Manhattan stand off awaiting the convention opening before they declare their purpose. One lodge in particular is being singled out for all kinds of attentions and inducements, but members of that lodge use in the manner and open rebuke to Monarch Lodge for its failure to support another New Yorker, George Wibecan, when he was a candidate for election to the office of grand exalted ruler. Jersey Bids for Elks' Treasuryship NEWARK. N. J.-That the fight for grand exalted ruler at the convention of Elks in August will not be the only one staged developed recently when it was announced that John M. Stoute of the Pride of Newark lodge No. 93 had thrown his hat into the ring as candidate for grand treasurer. Friends of Mr. Stoute have been busy throughout the state for some time and 150 delegates pledged to help. They predict that running as a "dark horse" he has an excellent chance of election. The New Jersey State association at its annual convention at New Brunswick endorsed Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson for re-election. Plans for Appeal of Gary School Case Right to Have Separate Schools to Go to State Supreme Court NEW YORK—Final steps leading towards appeal of the famous school segregation case at Gary, Indiana, to the Supreme Court. The case was upon a conference just held in Cleveland between attorneys in the case and representatives of the N.A. A.C.P. This case arose in 1927 when, following the Nero propaganda by the Klu Klux Klan, a student strike led to the barring of Negro students from the Emerson High School of Gary. A writ of mandamus to compel the school authorities to readmit these pupils was denied by Judge Grant Crumpeer of the Brownsburg court and it is from this denial that appeal is being taken. Attorney R. L. Bailey of Indianapolis will act as chief counsel in the appeal and Edw. Bacoyn of Gary, will serve as associate counsel. Association prevented the erection of a segregated school for which $15,000 had been appropriated. NEW YORK. — (ANP.) — Having won her freedom in the murder case of Seymour Iricks, Mary Snepps, the white common-law wife who shot him dead as he sat in a chair, is being made something of an idol by sympathetic, though misguided white society women.

The Snepps woman has also had several offers of marriage, some coming from well-to-do white men. Dr. Lyon at State Dept.

BROOKLYN CHURCH APPEALS TO HOOVER Nazarine Congregational Church Asks President to Include All Laws. 14TH AND 15TH CITED Laws to Observe. WASHINGTON — (C N S)— Putting itself on record as standing behind the president in his effort to enforce the laws of the land, the Nazarine Congregational church of Brooklyn, through its pastor, the Rev. Henry Hugh Proctor, has apaled to President Hoover to include the breaking of the 14th and 15th amendments in his law and order program. The letter, which represents a large element of the citizens of that city declares: "We wish to put ourselves on record as standing squely behind you in your efforts to enforce all the laws of the land. While we regret that a Negro was not put on your Crime Commission, we trust that it will pay special attention to the violation of the laws touching this condition. We call your attention to the following items: "First, difficulty in getting into labor unions of the North. "Two, racial inequality of day coaches and exclusion from Pullman cars in the public school funds, unequal distribution in public schools and land grant colleges in the South. "Five, ballot, through whose viola violation the rights of 12,000,000 people are subverted. "Six lynchings, by which 4,000 people have been put to death in this country of ours w/o due process of law. "We do not believe a good citizen will pick the law he would obey, therefore urge you to stand by all the laws, particularly the Fourteenth, Fifthth and Eighteenth Amendments." The Nazarene Church is celebrating this week: July 14 to 21, its 57th anniversary. Twenty speakers, ten choirs, and more than 100 singers both white and Negro, will take part. The opening address will be made by Borough President James J. Byrne of Brooklyn. S GLOSSINE NT! SSINE 35¢ AMERICAN COMPANY CARL MURPHY, Prec., Editor and Publisher, 1892-1922. CARL MURPHY, Prec.

A man who talks of fighting for righteousness and truth ought to live righteousness and truth. It would have a more far-reaching J. N. Mullery Liberating Liberia Discovery of peonage in Liberia, West Africa, which will result in an investigation by a subcommittee of the League of Nations, may well suggest to the Liberian electorate that the administration of President C. D. B. King has used its usefulness. outlived its mission. Peonage in Liberia takes two forms. In one case, natives are compelled to work on the roads nine months after the year without food or pay, and must furnish their own tools. Natives who refuse to work are flogged, and chiefs who refuse to furnish workers are fined. The second form of peonage is virtual trading in slaves. Natives are kidnapped and shipped to Fernando Po (Spanish West Africa), where they are forced to work on plantations and roads. are forced to work. This shipment of laborers is in violation of Liberian law, but is winked at by government officials who get $50 for each native sent out of the country. President King is reported as receiving $15 of the public. Under him, the vice-president of the republic, the postmaster general, and the secretary of state are shipping agents, who get $15 for each worker impressed in their respective districts. Various other smaller sums willing to share in the traffic. The Liberian republic, founded as an asylum for Africans who had been enslaved against their will in the United States, has become a gigantic slave pen, not only enslaving humans itself, but using it as governmental machinery to secure profitee of the slave traffic. History overturner turn of events. records for all of this. President King is responsible. He has violated Liberian unwritten law which (as the United States) forbids a president from serving more than two terms. Through alleged fraud, Mr. King is now serving his third in office. President King, it is, who has insisted on a five-million-collar American loan at the unusually high rate of seven per cent interest, bringing with it a flock of white financial advisers, auditors, and customs officials, drawing salaries and expenses estimated at $100,000 a year. These must be paid by Liberia in addition to the in- Mr. King has raised his own salary to $15,000 a year. He has seen to it that twenty-one representative and ten senators draw counts of $2,000 each for four or five weeks' work each. With a fine chance of getting the country upon a strong economic basis, founded upon the thrift, industry and education of the unimilized natives, he has chosen to exploit them instead. Extravagance, petty graft, election frauds and "the big stick" have taken the place of wise If Liberia is to be saved, it will happen if its friends in America join with the real patriots in the West African republic in affecting a change of administration at the next Muzzling De Priest The Hoover tea party has had strange results. No one suspected that legislatures in several Southern States, for example, would condemn Mrs. Hoover after long and bitter oratory. No one suspected, either, that Congressman Oscar DecriPriest, who characterized his opponents as a "pack of cowards" would carry his offensive into a speaking itinerary that has invaded Georgia, Virginia, Tennessee, to Kannas, Missouri, and next fall will carry him to the Fa- Nothing Mr. DePriest has said has angered the South more than his repetition everywhere of his advice that the Negro should study the Constitution and insist upon voting. Unable to muster an argument upon the other side of this simple proposition, the South has quit the debate and turned to abuse and personal criticism. The Relaleigh News suggests that Mr. DePriest "has much sense, and the less he has to say the better it will be for him." Mr. DePriest has been "dared to make that speech down in rural Georgia." Stranger still, the conservative Norfolk (Virginia) *Journal and Guide* declared last week—"Mr. DePriest should stop talking." The South "has its own peculiar notions about things, its peculiar aversion to outside interference with what it considers its own problems," the Guide asks. The *Guide* is supported by J. J. (Uncle Tom) Clemens, a school teaching lawyer of Roper, North Carolina, who is quoted in the Raleigh Neus as follows: "The Negro needs a 'representative in Congress, but he doesn't need one like DePriest. We don't need no diplomacy." When we have a sneaking suspicion that neither the strident cries of the Dixie white press, nor the appeal of the conservative race press is sufficient to muzzle Mr. DePriest. Only the voters in his district can do that, and home-coming welcome stages for little while ago indicated how far removed is any idea from the minds of the Chicago electorate. Nor has the Afro-American any desire to see Mr. Dreisth halt his speech-making. The Congressman's insistence on being a full Congressman is refreshing. His effort to wake the slothful to a study of his life and to qualify as a Congressman takes rank with the plan of the Congressman Holden Tinkham for a reduction of Southern representation and the campaign of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to abolish lynching. Moreover, the Afro-American warned the South two months ago not antagonize Mr. Dreisth. The president, but he could not be hard-bolted, and there was every evidence he would send back as good as he received. The Vestris Lie The London Board of Trade's forty-day inquiry into the sinking of the Vestris, with a loss of 112 lives last November, was concluded last week. The longest inquiry on record cost $71,770 exclusive of lawyers' fees. Among other questions settled was the charge of the man who had been charged with were charged with leaking that poke too soon. thereby accelerating the sinking of the steamer. The Associated Press quotes the members of the board of inquiry as saying: "The conduct of the Negro firemen in leaving the stokhold of the Vestris was not unreasonable. Conditions in the stokhold at that time were so very terrible, that it stake a great deal for the men to be used as long as they did." have reframed the official investigation dispose of the charges of cowardice made against the crew of the lil-fainted steamer, motivated by double color prejudice and have have slipping them by white firemen. companies摔倒 Whether the board's findings will undo all of the harm worked by this vicious lie, is another question. Certainly a Congressional medal to orchid, a clorimaster, who picked twenty passengers in one lifeboat and piloted them to safety, would aid considerably. The United and North Carolina The current issue of the New York Nation reminds us that Baltimore is not alone in attempting to restrict its bus lines to white passengers only. North Carolina evidently served as a model for the local United Railways and Electric company. But the Interracial Commission of North Carolina through appeal to the courts, secured an order on April 27, requiring the busses to transport colored passengers. The United must have followed this case for its celebrated order to conduct to busses Negro passengers if possible but not to them as a fair example of how a big corporation will willing to violate the spirit and letter of the law without the use of force. The United Baltimore spent quite three million dollars through the Department of Highways for the upkeep of its streets. This money came from the pockets of taxpayers black and white. The black man's money is legal tender for the maintenance of streets used by the bus, but no good as fare on the ones themselves.

To the Editor: It is to be regretted that the reduction of employees in the Engraving Bureau of Gov't Records of six hundred women, and that on account of race and color the government through its prejudiced underlings has undertaken to bar three hundred colored women from temporary service in the Treasury Department.

The public's interest is exhibited by the people of Washington in the recent campaign of the organization. No statement could have been made with less verity; and it reveals the writer as a mere guesser. The facts are that the campaign of the Treasury Department for members of 1928 produced $1617.75. In 1929, the sum of $1696.50 has been reported, with daily returns, and this exclusive of what the Ladies Service Group and the musicale and reception benefit will add to the treasury. The answer to the question of getting out of this campaign over $3,500.

There is another statement in the item that is wanting in truthfulness. It is that Representative DePriest "took over the proposition." There was no "taking over." The idea was Mr. DePriest's and one which he conducted as an effort to help the treasury of the organization.

SMITH LIONS' SHARES An old miser died on one mid-summer's night, And over his money his kindred did fight. They took it to court for the judge to settle. And some hired lawyers, so that they could mediate. Settling the argument was a bitter pill. For the old miser died and he still will: For the old judge and he left no heirs. So some of his people claimed for their shares. The diplomatic lawyers sifted the case. And then, boiled it all down to their legal tastes. The judge gave the verdict. "There're two legatees." Then the shrew old lawyers claimed all for their WHEN I SHALL DIE When I snarl me, When I shall leave this clay, in going hence Unto my mansion in the vaulted sky, Lord, give me sense.

LOUIS C. LINDSEY. A Peace in Our Lives That Can Only Be Filled By the Church. To the Editor: It was at a Sunday morning service. I sat in church and watched the people as they came in. Children in their teens, grown people and older ones. I noticed in particular an old man whose form was very similar to the man in and made his way to the front part of the church. And as I sat there and saw that stooped figure with white hair, moving slowly up the aisle, the question came into my mind, why? Here was represented a group of all ages and all walks of life, and all finding their way to the House of Worship, where were they here? Was It was at a Sunday morning service. I sat in church and watched the people as they came in and out. I was not a crowd or one. I noticed in particular an old man whose form was bent with the weight of many years, he came in and made his way to the front part of the church. And he was wearing a white hair, moving slowly up the aisle, the question came into my mind, why? Here was represented a group of all ages and all walks of life, and all finding their way to the House. Was it there were they here? Was the question or is itness? When God breathed into the cloak the breath of life, and it became a living soul, that soul realized then and there that it was linked up with some mysterious power. Hence, the inborn desire for worship was sought as a means for communication with the same. The groves mountains and the fields came. But the man came He established His church in the hearts of men. And they instituted buildings and dedicated them to His service. And man turns aside from the shifting scenes of every day life and seeks that spiritual strength that should rule and direct the physical. There is a place in our lives that can only be filled by church. For man can not live by bread alone. Baltimore, Md. The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, July 20, 1929 A comprehensive review of the world wide situation will clearly reveal that the color line is not only not crumbling, but is strengthening everywhere in its essential features. By KELLY MILLER Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, grandson of William Lloyd Garrison, editor of the Nation, has contributed to the issue of Harper's Magazine, under the caption—"The Crumbling of the Color Line." He cites numerous interesting, noteworthy articles and other noteworthy conclusions. The Nation cries out with clarion insistence for the rights of the under man in general and those in the oppressed. The Nation is a successor to the Liberator edited by Mr. Villard's illustrious ancestor, sensibly adjusted to changes of time and conditions. In the mainspring and enacting principle of the agitator, for unless he can persuade himself and others that through his work he will result, then his work is in vain and his hope is futility. We must always discount the optimism of the reformer just as we discount the pessimism of the author, elsewhere, the truth lies in the middle. Optimistic Note. Mr. Villard represents the attitude of the philanthropist, whose judgment of occurrences is colored by their reactions on his particular philanthropic work; that the world is growing better in every way, every day; also he belittles and belies his professed faith in Christianity to save the world. Philanthrophe is a name, not a note, though this note be discordant to the obvious facts of experience and observation. Mr. Villard is a white man, of pure Teutonic and Anglo-Saxon lineage. Despite his generosity, he notes that the white man's eyes. The racial tree, like Josh Billings's redwood, is so tall that it takes two persons to see to the top of it—the vision of the one beginning to see. No white man can see the situation as a Negro sees it, because he cannot it as the Negro feels it. "The frog beneath the harrow knows the butterfly upon the tree prints." The butterfly upon the tree preaches contentment to the tead. Not Crumbling A comprehensive review of the world-wide situation will clearly reveal that the challenge, but is strengthening everywhere, in its essential features. Ever since the jinches of Kipkins about the "White Man's Burden" and the "Rising Tide of Color," "The Clash of Color," and "The Menace of Color," the Anglo-Saxon people have been building up their own identity, but all non-white outs of their racial territory. Australia, Canada, South Africa, and the United States have their color bars and color swatches in their white intrusion impossible. The obvious intent is to keep such lands white in perestroia. A black British resident in Canada or Australia because of this bar sinister. The immigration laws of the United States affect all non-white residents from further re-enforcement of our population. Within the confines of this country, the only practical question is the operation of the race system within the limits of the races already here. Strengthening. Immediately after emancipation, it did look, for a while, as though the color line would crumble. The laws and regulations of our country apply "without regard to race or color." But this over-generous attitude lasted for scarcely half a generation. One migrant who was born in Georgia and gradually and constantly strengthening itself since the overthrow of the reconstruction regimes in 1876. Since then, twenty-nine states have enacted anti-intermarriage bars, separate schools have been established in all communities where the Negro constitutes a considerable fraction of the population, roll over the roars of the Southern and semi-Southern States. The Negro is barred from places of public resort and entertainment, and his presence objectionable. Residential segregation, within the last fifteen years has spread like wild-fire from East, Maine, to Key West, Florida, and from Atlantic City to Los An In industry, the Negro is being more and more pushed downward on the scale, to intimate touch with white men, and shut into something like an occupational caste. The drift of public opinion has been the North has gravitated to the accepted plans of the South. The Negro has been eliminated from high station under the federal government. Even the few remaining clerks are being segregated, Jim crowed, and gradually eliminated. Effectively, excludes re-enforcement. Within the next decade or so, there will be few or no Negroes in the departments at the level of messengers and laborers. Interracial Conference. I might go to infinitely piling up a list of particulars to off-set Mr. Villard's recital of instances of kindly personal attitudes on the part of a few choice spells of the right conference of which Mr. Villard makes a great deal, frankly operates in harmony with the existence and countenance of the color line, and the elements in the arts, literature, music and dramas finds recognition and encouragement mainly among the Semitic element rather than the Austrian element. The National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People has been battling valiantly against the color line for twenty years, and despite minor indignities with the unbroken integrity of the Hindenburg Line in the World War. Nor have we isolated any specific remedy. Religion education, wealth, culture and the most imaginable vantages, have not materially affected the color line. So far as we can now see, this line is likely to be the most right to be ahead as we are at present able to project our vision. Defensive Phliosophy It is a fatuous philosophy that it is impossible to achieve a lacious hopes. Our greatest task is to open the Negro's eyes and let him see the possibilities. He has his reasonable hopes and aspirations. Chips from the Quarry A column of queer things you might have missed on the regular news pages.

Academy superintendent, says: "If any cadet thinks the white race is a superior race, he can go ahead and prove it." Cadet Alonzo Sourleigh Parham, 20, six feet tall, is assigned a place in the front rank of Co. 2. Aubrey Carpenter, detachment clerk, Military Academy, Detachment of Cavalry writes me: "Parham is looking fine and carries an expression of pride. Parham himself wrote his folks in Chicago, "The discipline is very rigid. I have not noted any signs of discrimination. There is little time for making assumptions about what fellow students think of me. West Point is not nearly as bad as it is painted." They Wear Wigs In front of me is a photo of Chief Justice Sir Gilbert K. T. Purcell, white, chief justice of Freetown, West Africa, seated in the white coat, two white, two colored assistants.

Social Equality When you read the vituperations of Senators Blease, Heflin, and other representatives, you will find relative to social equality, you would think that the Southern whites would rather be burned at the stake than to intermary with colored peo- The facts in the case are that some of the South's leading statesmen have had two wives, white and white. The white mistress, who most cases was treated better than the legal white wife by her Senator "Daddy". The white wife had servants and so the colored concubine. The white wife lived in a palatial home and so did the colored mistress. The white wife carried the sons and daughters white wife then brought white children. White mothers carried us to school in his buggy. Senator Monev. Among the leading United States senators of Mississippi who had colored sons and daughters were Senator Thomas J. Johnson, Jr. and Tom was my playmate, Thomas, Jr., and I attended Baine's private school together. When "Tom" finished this school at the age of sixteen, the Money group awarded. It was not necessary for colored girls to attend white schools in those days, so "Tom"'s sister, my sweetheart, was sent to New Orleans to a colored school and was then sent to Michigan, where who is now the wife of Dr. Miler, of Detroit, Mich. Alcorn College I can well remember when the battle started in Mississippi to make Alcorn a college. I think Mr. Thomas Calloway, of Maryland, was president of Alcorn then the Senator Anse J. McLaurin, who then governor and who was later sent to the United States Senate, came to my white grandfather's undertake this influence have the Mississippi legislature appropriate money for Alcorn College. I can well remember Senator McLaurin's word to "Grandpa" John: "We have to have a good son and daughters. I want you to help me get this thing through." It was agreed that after I finished high school in Omaha, Neb. I should return after graduation. I was president of Nebraska and be made president of Alcorn College. Host of Children. James K. Vardaman, who became infamous in Mississippi by reason of his Negrophobia, was later elected governor of Alabama (if I think McLaurin), so Vardaman appointed LeRoy Percy of Bolivar County for the unexpired term. Percy, who was a big cotton planter and who was very rich, had a host of colored children by a colony of Percy, who loved his colored wife, took issue with Vardaman on the race question. This was his doom. Vardaman and Senator Percy were the chief aides of race hatred in those days. They kept the south hot with Negrophobia. When Senator Percy came up for re-election, Vardaman defeated him and sent John Sharp Williams to take. During this campaign, my while second cousin came to "Grandpa" John and borrowed money to finance his campaign for Congress. Negrophobia, but "Grandpa" John never would allow him to come to his home any more. Explaining. There have been numbers of senators and representatives in Congress who have colored the lives of their daughters, who had to listen to the late Senator Tillman of South Carolina, Senator Watson of Georgia, and the erstwhile James K. Vardane, who later return to their respective states and say to their colored common-law wives, "Honey, you know I could not say anything less than I can tell you." I can well remember when I was about ten years of age, the father of one of my pals was running for tow, and the mother of another state. One night when he was going to speak on the court house lawn, my pal's mother took him and two smaller sisters to a county fair. The speech was delivered from another enclue.

Down in the South mobs become bloody inhuman with vengeance and they aim to wreak the most cruel punishment on the unfortunate victims whom they hunt down like animals. This is mob violence in all its hideousness. But acts, like those perpetrated a few days ago in North Platte, Nebraska, and in Princess Anne, Md., where cowardly mobs of booze-stimulated men ran peaceful citizens from their homes and the worst form of mob violence. The fact is, it is more than mob violence. It is war. If, way over in China or down in Nicaragua one American citizen, or in some cases, one American dollar, is mistreated, Uncle But right here in this country where we have thousands of soldiers drawing their pay and idle, two hundred genuine American citizens can be driven like rats from their homes for no reason. Their race committed a crime, or even a mere misdemeanor, and not a U.S. sabre is drawn in their protection. Mob violence, like that of North Platte and Princess Anne, which slaps not only at a race, but at the very foundation of American crime or later be given the serious attention of the national government. Nebraska will no doubt recover and protect her colored citizens; but, as usual, no doubt, in $th cases the mob would be the thousands of men in jail who have not, committed a crime half so serious. Are We All What should be a starting revelation was made at the annual session of the American Medical Association last week when Dr. Joseph Eckel, of Buffalo, told the session on nervous and mental diseases, that 255 in the United States is at present in some institution for mental diseases. And not only are these institutional figures increasing, but it is known that there is a gradually increasing number of these institutions who should be there for treatment. The fact is, most of the public schools now are finding it necessary to deal with the mentally and physically defective as a special and difficult task which leads many to ask, are some day going to have a world of mental defects? A Bustling, Struggling and Worried World. It is not improbable that the pace of present-day civilization is placing too heavy a load on the mental equipment of the average human being. We are becoming a mob of bustling, struggling, worried, perplexed and grasping morally, emotionally and consciously warping and breaking down our mental and physical structure. Even child life, which used to be a natural and innocuous existence is now for many children filled with nerve-racking problems and excitement which prematurely develops and often prematurely destroys the mental We are not certain but that the modern high-powered teaching, together with the excitement of movies, the accentuation of dress and its effects upon sexual appearance and abnormal human beings. We are not certain also but that the otherwise blessings of medical skill, which enable some fathers and mothers to conceal their mental and physical defects and are able to manipulate the growing percentage of the insane in a larger degree than most of us realize. Most of us, for instance, have been so enthused with the possibility of breaking the social racial barriers of the DePriest appointments at Annapolis and West Point, that we have had little time to think how much difficulty he has had in finding youth合唱 up in every way, standard standards required. BUT WE S'IOULD THINK ABOUT IT. At the present trend, we may expect an increase constant in special classes in schools, and the building of more asylums and institutions. Just last week, for instance, the Baltimore school system announced the appointment of a psychiatrist to head these special classes. That sounds like human progress. But the number of crutches each, year mean physical progress? Most of the unrest, many of the divorces, practically all of the domestic unhappiness grows out of mental disorders make the human breakout a frequent present-day load. To my mind, one of the most tragic aspects of the race problem is the effect of the groups effort to adopt the tortuous and highly abnormal cravings of the malicious regime of the whole world. There should be no less striving, but more contentment, more peace of mind, lest we all be on our way to insane institutions. What Our Young Men are Not Doing Proud mothers and fathers would no doubt enjoy an editorial on what the young men of the race are doing against heavyoading and restriction, but here is one on what they are NOT doing in a land of boundless possibilities. Of the radio stations in this country licensed to offer prompt programs and entertainment, not one is controlled by colored young men. Of the hundreds of young men breaking new air records, carrying the music to a new audience, and to develop a new industry, none at present are colored. It takes money, you say, to operate radio stations through which we can express our views, and, as with airplanes, but last Saturday night in the ten biggest cities, we passed enough money through the picture windows and the follow day tossed enough city collections to buy a fleet of planes and run a radio station for a year. Prejudice blocks many paths to opportunity for the young color man and woman, but THEY ARE A CERTAIN TYPE OF THEM OF A DEBENEATH WHICH NOTHING CAN BE LEADERS of the group might well consider what we are losing by not controlling some lame of the ether.

HARLEM IMPROVED Friends Say Mayor Has Done More than Any Other Head. NEW YORK.—A non-partisan committee headed by Dr. Albert S. Beasley met and perfected plans here last week to promote the re-election of Mayor James Walker. The committee, which comprises many prominent Harlemites, met at the Witkota Club room and in outlining their campaign declared that Mayor Walker had made more public improvements in Harlem, any other city, and cer- more improvements than any other executive. S4.000.000 Hospital Among the improvements set forth are the appropriation to complete the 15th Regiment Armory, the four and a half-million dollar Harsum hospital and the property of swimming and purchase of property for park and playgrounds. They also point out that colored physicians have been appointed to the staff of Bellevue, Harien and Kings County Hospitals. Race members on lay boards for Harien and Kings hospitals have been named, which insures equality of treatment, regardless of race and gender. Adequate opportunities for training of colored nurses have been afforded and equal opportunities for colored physicians with white are given in the municipal hospitals. First time in the history of New York all obstacles have been removed in the path of the advancement of colored teachers to the higher and more responsible positions. Police The most outstanding demonstration of the fairness towards colored citizens of the Mayor's administration has been the appointment of a colored police officer. Writting in the Battle, first police step was to be appointed, was appointed under Mayor Walker's administration. Bent Law Attention is also called to the rent law which prevents exploitation by inscriptible land lords. The following names were proposed by Q Morton for membership on the committee: Dr. F. E. B.

BAND CONCERS ARE ATTRACTING MANY Municipal Band to Play Concert at Mount and Saraloga, Friday The municipal band concerts under direction of Charles L. Harris are pleasing growing audiences of Baltimore citizens according to music lovers here. The programs arranged by the director cover the entire field of music, from the melodious selection to the classic. From the generous applause Friday evening, it was apparent that every listener enjoyed the selections. The band will play the following program at Mount and Saraloga streets, Friday night beginning at 8 o'clock. Municipal Anthem, "Baltimore, Our Baltimore March," by Miss E.

NEED MORE WORKERS Whole Colored Staff With Large Budget, Recommended Baltimore is far behind in its provision for the recreational needs of its race citizens. This fact was evidenced in the report, just released, or Ernest Bell, chief executive of the American Playground Association, who made a study of play facilities for children and adults in the Monumental City. Dr. Atwell came to Baltimore last fall to initiate a recreation committee of the local Urban League and the local Playground Athletic Association, following a vigorous effort by the American GERMAN to obtain more and better playground facilities here. The report was made to the P. A. L. last February, and until this week an pigeon-holled by the local officials. ONLY ONE WORKER During his stay in the city Mr. Attwell visited all of the play centers conducted here, including the schools, Drud Hill park, and the Sharp Street Community House. He attended a play in 1827 with $164,250.35 for salaries, wages, travel, et cetera, but only a small portion of this went toward the development of recreation of the race. While he does not present any data on the number of play time players, he funds that only one full time worker, with a salary of $1,887.40 has been employed to develop the colored work. PROPER RATIO WITHELD. The race apportionment of the city has been estimated between 108,000 and 125,000, which is just about one-sixth of the total city population of 734,000. yet, the amount spent on race percentages is less than one-sixth mark. Discussing this phase of the apportionment, Mr. Attwell says: NEED GREATER EXPENDITURE. "The needs of the colored group go far beyond any proportionate population aspect. Their economic status and the very limited facilities in the home are insufficient, even them for general recreational programs, is always far below and more limited than for white groups. The Negro is unfortunately exposed to a greater extent to less uplifting and threatening conditions, which reflect itself on health, delinquency, crime and general moral tone among the masses of this group." ADULTS NEGLECTED. Practically nothing is done. Mr. Attwell finds, for the recreation of adults, the major part of the all too inadequate recreational program being devoted to the recreation of the younger (under 18) boys girls group; the activities conducted for girls, nor is there anything for colored youth corresponding to the indoor track meets for white boys and girls and no activities for the older groups in handicraft, dramatics, music or social lines. POOR EQUIPMENT. A visit to the schools, at which playgrounds were kept open during certain hours of the summer months, revealed in practically every stance, movement and in some instances, very little interest on the part of the children, due chiefly to the fact that they knew there was little equipment available. There is, as there is no attempt by the P. A. L at any year round recreational supervised program, with a colored executive and staff in charge, and as the teacher of the only program and the YMCA. only a limited one. Mr. Attwell recommends that a definite race staff, charged with the responsibility of carefully planning and well as a specific program in neighborhood areas, be set up. He points to the example of Detroit, Mich., where a year-round race staff of ten or twelve men and women meet the needs of about 60,000 peo- NO GIRLS' ACTIVITIES. Commenting on the apparent lack of interest in the local situation, Mr. Attwell continues by saying: "One is impressed from a social work state; little is being done for very little; being done for girls and very little is being done for young men and women in furnishing them with wholesome recreation, to combat liquency and crime and help in development of a better citizenship." SHOULD HAVE FOUR CENTERS. To stimulate interest in the development of a well defined recreational program, Mr. Attwell recommends four municipal centers to be made available in the center of north, east, and western portions of the city. He further suggests the follow-up: "1. The organization of a bi-racial citizens' recreational council, to be composed of a group of men and women who could assist voluntarily in guiding the recreational development in co-operation with Athletic League. This bi-racial council to be divided (group one) composed entirely of colored people to be directors of the colored recreation council, to be directors of the colored committee to be composed of members from the Playground Athletic League, or other white citizens elected by the colored community, to be directors of the colored recreation council. The function of the colored directors would be to stimulate a larger participation in the recreation program, to improve facilities and improvements, and other matters incident to promoting the program to be approved by the advisory board. The program would rest at present with the director of the Playground Athletic League. SHOULD HAVE RACE STAFF. "2.

Harlem Librarian Wins Radio Contest NEW VORK—Miss Roberta Bosley, soprano, has been adjudged the winner in the recent popularity contest, held over station WEVD. A number of artists, instrumentalists and vocalists competed in the contest held through the months of the season. The radio set was awarded Miss Bosley. Miss Bosley studied voice culture with Miss Juliette Gautherie and Jock Craig the pianist. For two years she studied piano, voice and theory at the Greenwich Music House where she attracted considerable attention. She interrupted the interplay of Negro spirituals. She is a children's librarian at the West 133th street, library. Encored Seven Times NEW YORK—(ANP)—The return of Amanda Randolph to the Alhambra Theatre offers her the work of a triumph for the noted comedienne. At Monday's matinee, her first appearance, Miss Randolph was encored seven times in one number. The seventh encore of the work of accompanying dancing choruses that Miss Randolph does and at the seventh encore of the Knocks Me Cold. Monday, the chorus could hardly drag itself along the stage.

Some of them are assured of other work when the later company goes into Chicago late in August wherelegged for "Porgs" and others. Jules Blesseo, the star of "Show Boat," is filling vaudeville engagements in and around New York, but the other actors are either "vacationing" or filling in at the old Lincoln Theatre. This large number of idle actors is further increased by the closing down of the Lincoln Theatre in West 135th street by Schiffman, an actress who required more than three months ago, heralding a new policy in the theatrical world. LOS ANGELES, Calif.—An all-race talkie, on the order of "Blackbirds," will be produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, production to start August 1. It was announced this week.

DIXIE" from Club Alabam INTERMARRIAGE THEME DOES NOT ALARM AUDIENCE ENGLISH ACTRESS GOOD Plays Opposite Wilson. LONDON.—The cordial reception accorded “All God’s Chillun Got Wings,” which is being presented at the Royal Court theatre, substantiates the belief that mixed casts and mixed marriages do not excite the British people. Frank Wilson, who originated the title role in "Porgy," and Miss Beatty Lee Hemmann, an English actress, have the leading roles. An indication of the reaction to the play, is seen in the review of one critic, who says: “It is not repulsive, but it is horrible, in a hysterical, nightmarish sort of way.” "The first of its seven very short scenes—the whole play lasts less than 90 minutes—is a prologue in which the little black boy, Jim Harris, and Ella, the little white girl, swear friendship and joint defiance against blacks and white alike in a New York "Fourteen years later, Ella, after having saved Jim's life in a mood of desperate, weary, self-protection; Jim is content to work alone on her feet Outcasts "They are now cuteates; neither black nor, whites will have anything to do with them; at last even Jim's sister will be able by their savage sense of injustice. "In the end Ella falls sick, both in body and mind. Under the surface works her sub-conscious whiteness, a mild reaction against poor devoted "In a fit of insanity she attacks him with a knife, and yells, 'nigger nigger' and knows that they are, and must be, everything in the world to each other. "And for all the quietness of the ending the author makes it seem that her death will be the end either of Jim's life or of his reason.

DUBOIS Just as Important as Political, Physical or Social Equality. NEGRO LITERATURE Must Aim to Reach Growing Group of College Men.. HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va.—The fight for freedom in art is as important to the American Negro as was the fight for political, physical and social freedom, said Fr. W. E. B. DuBois, in speaking before the summer school of Hampton Institute on Negro Literature and Arts, Friday night. "Expressions of the human soul have been beaten back by all kinds of inhibitions, such as slavery, the struggle for economic gains, and this dream of empire," declared Dr. Du- "Where there is no freedom in art," the speaker continued. Such has been the case in the past, where most books on the Negro have been written, expressly for a white reading public, and containing on topics as far as the Negro could read." Dunbar and Chestnut, according to Dr. DuBois, sought freedom in art and wrote for it in 1924. Negro literature in the 1920s actually interpreting the Negro to the white people. 19,242 College Men "In 1909 there were 1,100 Negro college men; in 1929 there are 19,242. Negro literature in the 1920s was sophisticated audience, and art must be a more sophisticated thing." Real freedom says something you could do, and it does not try to agree with the opinions of its hearers. The new trend in the emphasis on the art of the African-American must be toward picturing things as they really are. presenting heroes and heroes as humans, and having characters as humans, rather than like to be. Referring to The Crisis, Dr. DuBols said that from the start that magazine realized that it would have to freedom the kind of inhibitions that stop freedom in art, and it has always tried to be a critical journal, but has never sought to print what the readers expected.

"This freedom in art, we have to have to go forward in a world that is not looking for that at all because lack of freedom stops freedom in it other directions." duce and cost more than one million dollars, and more than 1500 European stage and screen stars were used during the making of it. The scenes were taken in three countries, one of which was the island of Martinique in the West Indies.

A. ROGERS' BRUSSELS, BELGIUM—In the Palace of Fine Arts this city is being held an exposition of the works of Lubaki, a native of the Belgian Congo. Lubaki is a water-colorist and he is creating a sensation in leading art circles. There are more than a hundred pieces in the collection. The animated water-colors of Eubaki do not reproduce 'beings and landscapes minutely copied but are inspired by the folk-ore st-ontime intimate and legendary of his tribe The living and the dead; living men and spirits, animals and creatures, creating a world full of fantasy and humor. He works in dreaming of Congo romances. Besides anecdotal pictures where the gravity of the attitudes belies the reality of the lives of trees, male and female, and of animals, the whole showing an astonishingly receptive memory, a knowledge of the decorative art which is astonishing. Art Critic G. D. Perler, leading art critic says of Lubaki's work: 'The plastic art of the plastic art are endeavoring to get rid of their academic artificiality in the hope of finding 'again the instinctive and the natural, devold of all preconceived technique these Negro painters bring into, welcome freshness and spontaneity.' The singular thing about this exposition is that Lubakai is still in his little village of Baconga. He not only is not in the town that his is causing in the white man's land.

WHITES IMITATE RACE MUCH MORE THAN IS THOUGHT Black Faces, Sing Blues Songs, and Copy Dances of Race Performers. WANT CORN FIELD SHOW Race Thespians, Acting Naturally, Misunderstood. NEW YORK.—The fallacy in the argument that race actors are trying to "act like white people," was again exposed, when Lester Walton, writing in the New York Sunday World, took up the cudgels for the race thespian. Mr. Walton's article says: "The following statement, appearing in a review of 'Bomboola,' the latest colored musical show to open on Broadway, reflects the prevailing sentiment among a goodly number of producers and critics with respect to the colored thespians' limitations: "In the few minutes when they are singing that spiritual, the members of the cast were utterly and whately hearted their natural selves. The rest of the time they were trying hard to play the white man's musical comedy." This observation, made by a reviewer, on a New York daily prompted Nerves to ask: "When, in the opinion of the reviewer, are we acting our natural sales on and off the stage, and when is musical comedy wholly and solely a white man's musical comedy?" Wet Cotton and Corn Field Shows Want Cotton A Negro submitted two scenarios with present-day life of his race in the city. The readers for the motion picture producers pronounced them very good but said they wanted cotton and corn field "Explanation that Negro life in the city possessed the elements of romance and heart interest, also its economic housing and other other sensibilities of life. For Negro life to them is only visualized in the log cabin, mule, oxcart and plantation. "It is only in such an environment do some reviewers and others think the Negro life is his elephant and acting natural. Or, if the setting is urban, Negro life must reck with lawlessness and vice."

Please print) colored performers 'trying to act like white people,' but no complaint is ever registered about the white performers' predilection for imitating Noël. "White vocalists and musicians are featuring Negro spirituals and such compositions as the 'St. Louis Blues'; white comedians are doing blackface in musical comedy and vaudeville; white hoofers are going to Harlem; copying all the original steps from the hoofers; while last season a Negro character is one of the big successes of the season at the Metropolitan Opera House. "In the past, fun was poked at colored women who used face preparations to whiten their skins. Now women, in and out of the theatrical, are sporting a brownish complexion with the aid of sun-tan powder. "As white actors have no compunction about appearing in Negro characters and singing Negro songs on the stage, is not criticism of Negroes like white people' before the footlights inconsistent and fallacious? Various Race Types "Often when accused of imitating white people the colored performer is just being himself; for there are various types and classes of colored Americans the same as there are various types and classes of white Americans their characteristics and mannersism the infuriating the same compelling forces—heredity, environment and training—not color. "Negroes in Boston do not speak with a Back Bay accent to imitate the whites, but because it is natural for them to do so as a component part of community life. The same can be sale of Negroes in the South; also the same can be sale of Negroes in New Mexico. Negro born under the British flag. "Expecting the Negro born and reared in N. Y., or in a Northern City to speak Negro dialect and know all about the cotton and the corn is paying too much of a compliment to the intelligence adaptability and versatility. "And if he talks and deports himself the same as other New Yorkers under similar conditions, he is not "imitating' but acting natural." Chords and Discords BY LLEWELLYN WILSON Ulysses Chambers Visits—Delightful concert at Morgan —Morgan. Maud Gress Resigns from Trinity A.M.E. Choir — Local Musicians' Union Progresses. Ulysses Chambers, formerly assistant supervisor of music in Baltimore public schools, and who also for some time headed the music department at the summer high school in St. Louis, visited here for a few days recently and spent some time renewing old acquaintances. Mr. Chambers, who is an accomplished musician and a splendid organist, recently has been serving as soloist and feature organist at cago's million dollar picture palace, the George Theatre. Mr. Chambers sojourn in the middle west has been profitable as well as pleasurable. Concert at Morgan The morning devotional period at Morgan College summer school was much enhanced and enlivened Monday of this week, when a group of our younger singers gave a delightful song recital. Appearing as soloists, were Miss Hermione Wharton, Mr. Bernard Young, and Mr. Philip Scott. These young singers are always pleasing in their offering; first because their work is always sincere and entirely devoid of affectation, and, secondly, because they seem to have an uncanny ability to build interesting programs. Work of the singers was made doubly pleasing through the unobtrusive and sympathetic accompaniments which were furnished by Miss Constantia Wharton. After each singer had given a group of single numbers, the trio joined with the companion in an ensemble of well selected popular numbers. The faculty and student of the Morgan College school expressed the appreciation for the mornine musicale with a generous round of applause. Mrs. Gross Resigns Mrs. Maud Gross, who for many years has served as a singer in the choir, and who for a long period served as directress of the choir Trinity A.M.E.

WORKERS' PROGRAM Affair Part of Plan to Unite Workers Here. Although white hoodlums hurled the phrase "white niggers" at a group of white men and women attending an interracial dance at the International Seamen's Club, it did not stop the affair here last week. The dance, which was first planned for a trip down to Brown's Grove, was later changed into a dance where a number of both races participated. Plans for a similar attack, which is a part of the program of the local branch of the Hesco Labor Congress, the Young Workers League to unite white and colored workers, are being made officials say. "The Afro-American is all dressed up with no place to go according to George S. Schuyler, in the current issue of the American Mercury magazine. Schuyler says.

This Is the Story of How a Brilliant Baltimore Lad After Preparing for Law, Discovered that the Charms of the Screen Were Superior to those of Blackstone and Webster. By Ruby Berkley Goodwin Prepared Exclusively for The Illustrated Feature Section. "Hearts in Dixie" Star With an enviable national reputation as one of the foremost artists of the race. Clarence Muse is now being seen and heard the world over as Nappus, in "Hearts in Dixie." The reactions of the race to this epic of reconstruction days will be varied, but it must be admitted that it is a true portrayal of that time. It cannot be called a drama, because of its insufficient plot. But it is an epic of Negro life and should be regarded as such. It has been called by critics "The Plantation Opera" and is considered in picture circles the most important gesture the industry has made in years. Clarence Muse, the Nappus of the story is a veteran stage artist, and will tell in his own words the story of his earlier achievements and his future hopes: Early Ambition to Be a Lawyer I was born Baltimore. I received an excellent education training there.

Press Loud in Praise of Muse's Ability Muse claims no credit for any of his work. His many scrapbooks are from cover to cover, and he reported in a provocative way of his ability as an actor, producer and dramatist.

At present he is one of the few actors who enact the entire drama of Jekyll and Hyde without the understudy. This role, besides being extremely exacting, offers a wider range in drama acting than that of any other stage man who knew the time nobile, knew the fruitful and a master scientist; at another time he is a friend incarnate, capable of committing the mose heinous crimes. is Master of the Role of "Dr. Muse is perfect in this role.

Hard to Find a Negro Girl with Beauty and Grace "Most people do not realize that beauty is judged from three standpoints: beauty of face, beauty of form, and grace of face in a beautiful face, but the other two requisites are harder to find.

Can Make-up to Bill Role of Muse is a typical Negro, very dark and a trifle heavy. Yet in some of the films he is often resemble a Caucasian, even adopting a blonde wig. The secret of this is Muse's why, but his is the story of why he learned to use this make-up technique, and required an actor to be fair. Many of these I was not permitted to play. Understand now, the directors were not interested in day I determined to dabble win make-up until I mastered that art. I bought everything I had learnd of and for now I am ready to try these different solutions. At last one day my search was rewarded. I confided in no one. That night, as I received my cue.

For eleven minutes there was prolonged applause. At the end of that time the audience became quiet and the show went on. I have stunned myself and have used them quite successfully." At present Muse is directing revues at the famous Apex Nite Club; but motion picture directors cannot be seen and heard on the screen again. His voice recording is among the best heard so far, we are told. But no matter what success the future brings to him he will never be forgotten as grand old Nappus who sells all that he has to send the pride of his heart "Little Chinquapin" away to be educated. Harry took his place and it is said that not even Mrs. Williams, herself, detected the difference. Wellmion with his clever creole wife has played all over the world, and he is as skilled in the operas as he is in jazz. For more than a year he concluded with a perfect orchestral comedy, India. La Bohème is typical of Old McMarmart. It is small but merry with decorations lively and gay; a charming and cosy corner, and certainly the most original of the clubs—shaded, many hued lights; remarkable and many rarity paintings on the wall. There is also a very cozy room, discretely lighted, the walls of which are tung with a greenish hue, representing one of a tale from the Arabian Nights' Entertainment. It is in the basement, and it is said that the Greenwich Village cabarets were modelled on La Bohème. La Bohème opens at eleven p.m. and closes until six a.m. with something doing every split second of the time. Champagne, frost-trotting, couples romping on the floor; varied and suggestive attractions—indeed it has everything that appeals to the average night-club go Some of the dazzers wear—no "wear" would not be the word for on their birthday suits they have but a few fluffy tassels they wear and whose note, did what it absolutely the wickedest hoochty-kootchy since Salome got the head of John the Baptist. She had a continuous regious as great as others have over their fingers. It is easy to explain now why rich Americans leave home. Jazz is the order of the day—but La Bohème is comical if not monstrous. M. Moret, speeclive languages, and his employees all speak about the same. It is his boast that everyone who comes to the concert for no matter that nationality the guest, his language will be spoken there. M. Moret, who is a most amiable and agreeable man, says he welcomes "the people of the world." There is Viennese and Hungarian and Russian music. Our friend, Wellman who was the life of the place, plowed selections from Lohengrin and other works, then dressed them. His wife, a "lever丹," also did her acts, the two proving a very popular number. There is also the Marcelle Reicer Band, and M. Rienzl, the happy- lucky singer and impersonator, who certainly helped to make things gay, and cabaret stars like cabaret cabarets of Europe, and is known as "The Siegfried of the Cabarets."

This lone run among all those women looked as important as a fica, as our witty friend, Wellmom. The ladies came in about 2 a.m. in two groups, one English, the other French, and seated themselves on on chairs, facing the camera.

There (Continued on page twelve) THE CREEPING THING A Story of Gruesome and Haunting Mystery A "Mr. Garland Selwyn, my friend I was telling you of, Tom Frederick, the detective." Garland was fashionably dressed. Three unsolved murders have occurred in the mysterious octagonal room of Selwyn House. In two of these murders—that of its master and eccentric owner, the man who was a woman, Meme, the Haitian wife of his scrippling man, who is also a Haitian—the bodies of each murder have been preceded by the distinct and horrors-rousing sounds of a huge body creeping like some great creature of the last victim, a huge black woman detective who has sought to solve the mystery by night, is found to have been scaled and the scalp is missing. Detective Frederick, who has been summoned by Alice, is suspicious of the coroner, and of a Haitian nephew of Eara Selwyn, who has mysteriously appeared at the scene about the time of the murder. Frederick and Alice stay with the body the undercover taker comes as. As they wait in the silence, they hear a low clenching. **NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY.** "Mr. Garland Selwyn, my frie dressed. INSTALLMENT V For as long as the time a man might take two long breaths, the sound of that awful laughter continued. It held a menace and a note of exulting cunning in its sibilantulations. It held Alea where he stood at the door, hesitating in something like frozen uncertainty in its threshold. The startled look of fear on his face seemed to be a moment of melting beginning to let go of the calm control of nerve that had never before come so near to failing me. Little prickles chased themselves in the shadowy dimness that persisted around the big four post bed in spite of the flattering fames to come. The skin was ripped, the ribible texture of the stiffening black body of Alene Hardmore, seemed to accentuate the terror of that exultant laughing out there in the mystery of the world. It took a half step toward the door; faltered and then—a quiver as of some huge body tightening its coils about the wall. It shivered to shiver through the whole place. The very excess of menace in that sinister ouaking brought some age-old quality to the surface of my consciousness. It was perhaps the same descerate reaction that my troslodycean ancestor experienced when he felt the breath of some huge reptilian enemy of prehistoric times, upon his neck—a reaction that sent him whirling with unraled bludgeon of iron-hard wood to send it crashing against the soft snout or crushingly crunching against the vital but brittle neck vertebrae. In a winning fight for his life, and the life of his mate and his young. Not unlike him I whirled and stiffened for the attack but there was nothing to attack. The smoking ceased; an ominous pall of stillness descended abruptly over the place. Alec, save for the first started flight, were, had stood still. The huge body half in, half out of the bed, remained rigidly uncouth in its horribly twisted immobility. I grioved myself and held hard to my self control. Gradually I felt strength curing into my nerves and my mentality. I opened by lines, wondering if I could keep the vibrations of the just-past terror out of my voice. When I spoke, I knew that I had subdued the fear that had so nearly overwhelmed me. "A laughing byron? What'll we laughen, but the laughing rellate has vet to be matched in the natural history catalogue." What'll I felt or will I stimulate him to a fecundly humorous mood. The daring innocence of it seemed to touch some chord of like feelings in Alec. He gave his shoulders a rest, shruge and something of the shriek faded from his eyes and his face. "Well, at least we'll give him a run for his money, old dear. I'm with him, and I'm going into the room and picked up the wrought iron footstool by the back side. He only smiled—a kind sort of humor in his face—as he did so, deliberate he can do. He sat down upon the tall, the narrow opening of the doorway and cat-down upon it in such a way that the door could not close without shutting him and the stool up within it. I smiled back at him then. He crossed his lees, reached for a cigarette. lit it, and beazen puffing. I followed suit; but turned to the door and said that had been the arzoant women detective Alva Hardinne. Outside we could hear the swish by CORA JEAN MOTEN The. Well-Known Serial Writer. of the great tree branches in the wind. Now and then an owl would hoot or we would hear the faraway honking of an automobile horn on the rim of the parklike grounds of Selwyn House. The room, save for our occasional forced remarks to break the eerie spell, that we were bored down upon us, was silent and heavy with mysterious forebodings. I had just flung my second cigarette butt upon the floor and stamped my foot on my shoe, bore down upon my of my shoe when we heard the closing front door. It was followed by the confused clumping of footsteps on the stairs. I was bitten at each other by neither of us moved. We both remembered—Alec. the experience, and I the report of it—of those other two missing bodies. I was corrupted, missing corpus delicit; that, I was determined upon. Slowly and steadily the footsteps friend I was telling you of, Tom drew nearer. We could hear the con- fused murmur of voices. Old Diaror was speaking. They drew nearer. "And the Box Box Diun knows whet- they be living or dead with that aw- ful horror stalking these walls—" Diarror's ash-gray black face appeared at the opening of the narrow passageway. Behind him were the group of several persons. I recognized the marshal, old Jake Keller was one of my best friends from childhood. He-grinned over the heads of the others when he saw me. I needed back at him. They came pushing toward where Alec still remained seated on his stool in the open doorway as though he had no intention of being fooled into abandoning his post by anything short of death or superior force. Alec still was mindful of those disappearances. But Aliene Hardmore's body did not move. It lay motionless and hideous in its mutilation, where, and as, we had first seen it. The flickering candlelight sent the shadows scuttering and slithering across it like the dancing shadows of death sprites in a dim world between the worlds. At length they were all in the room. It was not until I glanced around the circle of surprised and curious faces that I discovered the presence of the one unknown in the group. He was an unprepossessing man, reddish yellow of color and with a sleek suggestion of cunning under his foppishly dressed exterior. Garland Selwyn "Mr. Garland Selynn—my friend that I was telling you of, Tom Fredrick, the detective." It was Alex's voice and there in that dread pressure that I was telling him the mystery of that room of death, he was introducing me to the man who was to bring much of puzzelment and something of danger into my life. I was telling him the mystery of the Creeping Thing. With perfunctory courtesy and hurried preoccupation with the weird business in hand I bowed to the man he returned to, saying his gag was past me to the big bed and its horror. I thought I caught a tremor of disappointed chagrin on his suave face. There was no doubt of his genuine concern for the death of the woman or the bed. "What was Garland Selwyn's interest in this black giant of a woman that made him go pale, and that made her dead body?" I asked myself the question and as I asked it, I determined within in my own mind to find its answer. For, I felt that man was the mystical room and its mysterious deaths might have something in common, and that probably this nephew of the dead owner of the knowledge of its grusome meaning. When I turned from the young Haitian nephew of Ezra Selwyn, the coroner was stooping over the body of a man who had been rugged unlovely head. It was almost rigid by this time. With expert carefulness the physician examined the scalp. As he did so I noticed a sudden look in his eyes and of his eyes met mine. I could have sworn that there was the knowledge of a suddenly startling bit of something that might serve as a weapon. The ambulance was gone. The eyes that had shot that involuntary message to me shifted their gaze a moment, then lifted again and they were the inexpressive professional eyes of an unusual information. I stepped closer. He had left the head and was busily examining the rest of the body. As I stooped to re-lock a view, with apparent carelessness he stepped between me and the corpse. "Come," he called authoritatively to me in the cave as he met the cadaver here. He picked up the head, lifting under the broad shoulders. "We want to get her straightened out before rigor mortis sets in any further." Doctor Varan I moved to the side but Al Jardin, the undertaker, was before me. I was forced to take an arm and so we helped to place the heavy body on the bed. A left arm was on the bed. But Dr. Varan, by perfectly legitimate busying or himself about the body on the bed, kept me from any closer or detailed examination of the body everywhere about that room for the circular bit of flesh with the hair of the "scalplock," as the Indians term the hair on the top of the head we find no trace of it. I wondered and conjectured for a Frederick, the detective." long time about a curious movement that kept recurring to my memory. It was one of those things but with subsequent events bring out like chemical ink-marks that are susceptible to heat but are invisible under water. A survive motion that Dr. Varan had made as he stepped to examine the body. I had seen him at first as he stooped. He stood at the head. The whole of his body had been visible to all of us as he held that position. But a second later he interposed himself between the rest of us. He stood not that he reached across and slightly under the head low down about where the shoulder would be as nearly as one could estimate from the wound who stood behind him. As he seemed to manipulate the upper part of the body, there had been, my memory visiated, a pair of hands in his movements and then—the next step was etched clearly on my memory canvas—he had moved the hand toward his head, across his body, out of the line of vision of those who watched, back toward himself. And now, just as he was a joint red smudge on his white shirt front. I determined to make a close scrutiny of Alene Hardmore's scapegoat poll as soon as possible and meanwhile, I would keep a careful check upon Dr. Vrant, coroner of Calpus county. There were many inexplicable things that everybody knew to have occurred in Selwyn House and its octagonal tower-room. By common consent no one left the room from his necessary errand of telephoning to the coroner and had made fruitless journeys to this house of mystery. "You have not been in the United States long, Mr. Selwyn?" I tried to keep my voice casually interested although I could hear the facts about this Haitian dandy before another week should have passed over our heads. "No, not on this trip. But, I was educated in the U. S." The man's English was perfect, there was only one word in his mouth: "cent in the broadened English a's and the tendency toward deliberation in enunciating the last letters of his words. "In the East. I presume? My guess is that a statement than an interrogation. I felt assured that the man had received that careful training in enunciating the end sound of his words in no school of our own. I was not a man smiled. The man smiled. His smile gave me an unpleasant sensation. It was a smile that touched his lips only. His eyes had no part in it. "You are a very keen observer and marked calmly. I noted that his eyes kept their quiet film of indifference although there was a bright intelligence back of their stillness that I knew, uninterrupted and measuring things and persons. Then Jarton's man entered. We all filed out of the courtyard and came to the man to their grim business. I stopped at the door and asked whether I could be a witness. He said who was just behind me, cut with the remark: "Oh no. Mr. Frederick, there will be no bees in the cottons and Bent." Without giving time for tur- Doctor Varant her conversation, he shut the door. "Checkmate," I said to myself resignedly, adding within my mind, "but there's lots of moves left." The Doctor's Orders I made my next move the next morning, early. I knew that Jarton would sleep late after the nights he would have no scruples against rest and no reasons for refusing me any ordinary privileges. I was right. There was nothing to trip him up to intrigue me, especially not after a night disturbed as he had been with that long trip to Selvyn house and its attendant labor. Also there was no reason to arrest him in the case of the mystery of that house and of any other possible mysteries, should not be accorded full freedom of the place. No one had given Ben any speculation about it, as I was about to close the door leading to the morgue behind me, he said; Garland was fashionably "Dr. Varant was mighty particular about his orders on that stuff. Mr. Harper said it wasn't to be disturbed at. So Mr Criepte's sake, don't tech it." I called my assurance back cheerfully and closed the door. I walked over to the long sheeted thing on the cold slab I wondered whether, after all, I mightn't be on a wild goose chase for any thing unusual. What could Dr. Varan have to conceal in the sheet? I thought of us to think he knew anything of this Creeping Horror of Solwyn House. But-I lifted the sheet and gazed down at the gray blackness of what had been Alene Hardmore. There was nothing in that face that could give any clew to the dread Thing that had caused her death, examining what carefully or illusively with the utmost caution, that I might leave no trace of my tampering fingers, I lifted a corner of the white cloth that covered the floor, and I stuck. As I exerted an even, gentle force in my effort to pull that bit of shrouding cloth loose from what it was some secret that it covered. I looked about and about I looked into the muzzle of a small black automatic. -END OF FIFTH INSTALLMENT- (To be Continued Next Week) English Word Often Misused Do not say "I can't seem to understand the problem."

When one of them stepped out on the floor with his lady, beg pardon, her lady, the shock of seeing him, whom she was pretty much the same that we would have rift had we seen the burly, bull-dog jawed Hindenburg dressed like that. The appearance was that of a prize-fighter, and we certainly would not like to have found ourselves in her grip. Yes, we reflected. Mother Nature certainly mixes up things and is sly . . . american in her own way. The other halt of the ladies were dressed in the fluffiest feminine styles, and it was the: who wore the rich ornament. They were just the sort of sweet, helpless young thing whom a he-man would gladly die to protect. As to the "hes" of the party they were so gallant and affectionate to the she's that we profited by the occasion to learn a thing r two ourself when rexi we go Don Juan-ing. And did they enjoy themselves? Rarely have we seen human beings merrier. They drank, smoked, jazzed, and had a good, gay, lively old time. As a mere man...we felt quite insignificant. Back into our mind from out of the past came floating a phrase we had read somewhere: "Women no longer need men." By the way, do you wish to have some fun: Go ask one of these herhims to dance. She-him will curtly refuse. Dc who gentlemen ever dance? This third sex, or whatever it is, is a common sight in England, particularly in England and Germany. The case of "Colonel" earlier who married another woman is by no means rare in England. George Moore in his "Celibate Lives" has thrown some interesting light on this subject, as also has another book, "The Well of Loneliness," which has recently caused a greater or more contempt in women than was rather well and unexciting to us after what we had seen of this thing in real life. We simply fail to see why the censors barred it in England, and why they attempt to use it with the same intent. In Berlin there is an exclusive club of this sort named after one of the characters in a story by Oscar Wilde where these ladies meet. No more than one of these, an occasional one who is known to be in sympathy with er mode or living. Can the same be found in America? On well, politics is; at the only field in which the fair sex is competing with mere man all over the world to The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, July 20, 1929 A The first show to give them moderate success was "Four-Eleven-Forty-Four." With a bright future in prospect, Williams married a widow who was also a talented petgress. She was very devoted to him. Dance Halls Dance Halls By L. H. JOLLEY Two new dances have been originated by energetic students of art, according to the work in the Dance Teacher and Students maga- month of July. The two dances, the "breakaway" and the "Big City Wobble" are executed like the "Wampus" and the "Blackbottom" exertion. The "breakaway" has the earmarks of the Wampus except that the ever swinging and jerkling of the female partner is prohibited, until the glide and fox are been exeusted more times; then the wrist is twirled in a circle and at the finish of the twirl the famous "breakaway", which consists of showing the girl away with as little effort as possible, is done. The repeated three times, or one selection, The "Big City Wobble" is the milder of the two new steps. The first step is known as "spitting the eagle" when the couple take three steps side by side, swing them back and then do a sword dip. The next step is executed. The glide, then a slow step is executed. This is repeated often as desired. GREENWOOD PARK Seemingly the old Greenwood Electric park, once the most popular summer amusement park, has long lost prestige. Evidence of this is given by the number of large organizations at the park, especially the Elks. Both local Elk organizations have or will hold two entertainments each before WONDERLAND PARK The waterfront and soft crabbing and fishing near Wonderland park have added much to the attractions of the park. It is reported; that several new row boats have been purchased by a sports club, whose members have a concession to hire the boats by the TO PLAY FOR WHITES. It has been reported that several local orchestras have been given contracts to play at white summer resorts both on the Eastern shore and near Baltimore. Among the orchestras that are rumored to receive the jobs are Kaiser's, Horse Brothers, Rhythm Kings and the Arrows. Scalded by Hot Water Fixing a stove pipe at 930 W.

Piano Recital A private recital was given recently by a group of piano students under the situation of Mrs. Adah Killion-Jenkins. The program contained selections grouped under dance, Indian, fanciful and pastoral music. Music by Chaminade was represented by "The Fiatterer." None in dust form by Marjorie Murray and Margaret DeMann, and "Air de Balle" in G by Margaret DeMann. Another French composer programmed was Godard, whose "Pan" was played by Marjorie Murray. Huertler, an American writer of note, whose use of the Indian idiom has attracted much attention, was represented by "The Indian Camp," rendered by Bunice Brooks and "Singing Waters." played by Frances DeMann. Other pupils participating were Courtney Carter, Rita Woodland, Gwendolyn Thom, Emma Ware, Charles Hardin and Edith Savage. Miss Bessie Biszell acted as mistress of ceremonies, using for each group of numbers, program notes, which she compiled as a part of her studies. A feature of the recital was the awarding of a prize for perfect attendance during the season to Margaret DeMann. Parents of the students composed the audience which filled the spacious parlor of Mrs. Mary F. Handy's home, 1341 N. Carey Street.

Subsequently Moderator Caldwell announced that the next session would be held June 23 to 27, 1930 at Hood College. Dr. Taylor Jim-Crowed Discussion of the place of the next meeting arose when Dr. Halley B. Taylor, pastor of 51st Street Presbyterian Church, Washington was refused eating and sleeping accommodations at Hood College on account of his color several weeks ago. Interrupted at dinner, he withdrew and went home. The Synod apologized to Dr. Taylor and passed the following resolution: Resolution “We view with real sorrow and regret the unhappy incident in race distinction which occurred regarding entertaining of delegates at the Synod. “We resolve that the clerk be instructed to send a letter-to Dr. Halley B. Taylor explaining that the discourtesy he suffered is not an exclusion desired by the Synod. Equal Right To assure him and all commissioners of his race an equal right to share all the privileges and duties of the synod, as such, wherever we meet, and that satisfactory arrangements will be made for their entertainment in town as is done in pre-tyberies and general, assemblies, we further resolve that the matter of the next meeting of the synod be referred to the synod council and to the synodical council in joint meeting to determine whether a place can be obtained where the social race distinction would not be raised.” Arrangements Not Satisfactory Dr. Taylor told the AFRO-AMERICAN by phone on Wednesday that the action of the council was not in keeping with the resolution. The synod, he said, had only granted the council power to act within keeping of the resolution. Arrangements could never be said ifetyman, so long as there was ever likely, to be any embarrassment because of racial discrimination. Dr. Taylor said he would not attend the 1930 session at Hood College. "Could not be content," he said, "with anything less than is common to all members of the synod." Hypercritical Says Dr. Walker Rev. W. W. Walker gave out the following statement: "The action of the Council of the Synod of Baltimore is most disappointing. When considered in connection with the dramatic antics in the episode of Dr. Taylor and Hood College and the right of the Council to act as a hypocritical, cowardly and disgrateful capitulation to race prejudice. "No self-respecting Negro is proud to be a member of such a Synod and, of course, would accept such humiliating conditions." Reid well Talks Rev. Caldwell Talks Moderates the field and gives the following statement to the AFRO-AMERICAN: "As far as official meetings of the Synod of Baltimore are concerned, at our college we are not excluded of any entertainment is no exclusion of anybody. If we have an official meal and Hood College will not entertain us, we will go where we can be entertained, for which we pay and which we take from the college, we have to abide by their restrictions, if they place any. Our conference is just four years old and we find it difficult to find a place to entertain 300 or 400 delegates for five or six days. "I wish the colored ministers will understand that we are feeling the matter as beginn- as they feel it from their standpoint. I feel it very keenly. My home is up north and I do not have the same attitude as some of the so- "We have made a thorough canvass of the field and we have not been able to find a place which would make it possible for us to what we Rev. Bruce WcDonald, white pastor of Westminster Presbyterian Church, and an officer of the General Church body asked that he be interviewed. He declared however that he understood the Council's action was in keeping with the desires of the Conference held earlier group. Mr. Davis Talks According to Geo. B. Murphy and Carrington L. Davis, who with others attended the conference with Dr. Caldwell and Dr. Bruce McDonald, white pastor of Westminster Presbyterian Church, the action counseled the contrary to unanimous opinion of the colored members. Mr. Davis declared the colored members suggested that Dr. Caldwell go to the conference to explain that the synod was composed of persons of different races, but that they were all on the same footing and the synod desired every member who cared to attend to have the same participation including boarding and lodging. This is the only proposition, he said, that would meet the approval of the colored members of the conference. They could not even discuss anything less because it would do them no good, spiritually to attend the symposium having in their hearts the knowledge of discrimination on ac- Ulkiley in Money, Business?

THE GAME'S OVER BLACK FOX "PETE: WASHINGTON" Black Sox centerfielder has taught local fans to say that, when, in the ninth inning, with two men out, a long fly is lifted out into his territory. There are very few bails that stay within the contour of the ball. Washington doesn't get, for he is a fast man. Washington is a good hitter too, and while he has not been pasting the apple this season with the regularity that he has in previous years, you can rest assured that when you hit that ball in ride, Washington is a Carolina, and is quite proud of it.

HOMESTEAD GRAYS TACKLE SOX SUNDAY League-Leading Poseymen Seek Revenge for Losser on Last Visit Here. OWENS IN LINEUP Yokely Eager to Try Hand Again on Homesteaders. Two bitter diamond struggles should be on tap Sunday afternoon, when the league-leading Homestead Grays and the local Black Sox tangle in a twin bill at Maryland Park. The Poorman are leading in the first half of the American League race and will be out to avenge the drubbing that the Black Sox gave their disabled outfits here a few weeks ago. At that time the local swat-sniffers put four straight games from the Grays. Owens, veteran hurrier of the Grays, has returned to the lineup as have Vic Harris and Smoky Joe Williams. Hockey is a shortened, shortened, shortened every man on the team is pounding the ball. Sgreeter, Leif Williams, Mason and Albert Williams, aided by Owens and Smoky Joe, believe that they will be able to silence the heavy artillery of the local gunmen. Yokely, who shutout Hildale last Sunday, is anxious to try his hand against the Grays as he let them down with three measly hits when the Sox trimmed them, 3-1, early in the game. More than a month later, more and Burbage to the local club has been the thing for which Manager Warfield has been striving, and with the team settling down, the Sox are going to make a bid for pennant honors in this second half. The team has been turning back into real form and it is possible that either he or Hayes will face the Grays in the second contest. Dixon, Wilson, Lundy, Washington, and Burbage have been hitting the pinnies and the Sox are counting on their husbands to beat out two victories Sunday.

And with the State, we are inclined composed in Illinois. G SOULDNT, but just the American League is that we will be back with us soon. But in all seriousness, this matter of umpires is a big thing. We need more race umpires, it is true, but we need COMPETENT ones. Here's honing their tribe will increase. THEY USUALLY FAW DOWN, or else they wobble dreadfully, when that boy Kid Chocolate pastes 'em, and the little bundle of Cuban TNT, proved his consistency last week, by bumping Ignacio Fernandez. "Twas the Keed's first fight as a featherweight, and judging from the comments following the fractas, he more than lived up to the expectations and predictions of the dopesters. Listen to what Ned Brown, batting for Hype Igoe, of the New York World, says: "Kid Chocolate gave a masterful performance in defeating Ignacio Fernandez in the Ebbets Field ring Wednesday night. The victory makes the Havana Kid stand out as the chap who will have to be beaten for the featherweight championship, which title at present is held by Andre Routis. I don't believe Al Singer can make the featherweight limit and be strong at the weight—at least not strong enough to cope with this Chocolate, when the latter is fighting in the form he showed the other night. If I hadn't seen Fernandez stand up under the heaviest punches that Singer and Tony Canzoneri could shoot at his granite chin, I might not rate Chocolate so highly on this latest of his hundred and fifty-odd victories. For the Havana Kid certainly hit 'Igright on the button with enough chops, joils, uppercocks, hooks and swings to knock out a regiment of ordinary fatherweights, as I said in my report of the fight. But this Fernandez is as durable a battler as I've seen since the days of Battling Nelson and Ad Wolgast. Yes, this Kid Chocolate will do. Asserting that Chocolate is a much classier fighter than Gene Tunney ever was, and that he is much better than Al Singer, Ed Sullivan writes as follows in the Evening Graphic: "Watching Kid Chocolate as he crucified Ignacio Fernandez in the Ebbets Field ring, you were struck by a marked similarity between the little Cuban and Gene Tunney, former heavyweight boss. "Chocolate in full retreat has the knack of landing damaging blows with both hands. Even when he is going backwards at full speed, Chocolate's jabs do not seem to lose any of their cutting force. Tunney had the same valuable faculty. Even when he was on a bicycle, Tunney could hurt and sting you just as Chocolate does. "The little Cuban with the long arms is a lot classier in action than Tunney, of course. "Chocolate that would not bob his head to evade punches, Chocolate is as agile as a jumping jack. He slips hundreds of punches in a fight by ducking and weaving, and this agility makes him almost vulnerable when trapped on the ropes, the one spot in which Tunney's rigid stance made him a sucker. "When Chocolate and Al Singer started branching out, I made a bet that Chocolate would go further than Singer. I thought he was a better prospect. "After his fight with Fernandez I see no reason to alter that opinion." opinion. "Chocolate would beat Al Singer and probably knock him out, even though Chocolate would have to concede weight." G SOMETHING ROTTEN IN DENMARK, might be a suitable way to characterize the news that Al Brown, the defending ban-and-captain, has been suspended by the Illinois Athletic Commission because he is alleged to have failed to carry out a contract for a bounty in Denmark. Brown and his manager Dave Lumiansky have been barred because it is said they did not carry out their contract with one Knute Larson of Copenhagen. And with the action of the Dumb Dukes of the Sucker State, we are inclined to believe that there is also something decomposed in Illinois.

And whether you believe it or not, an umpire's life is not always a happy one, as Caleb Slocum demonstrates, pictorially here. Mr. Slocum, who has been missing for the past two weeks, was last seen in this pose following a game in which he had served as umpire. It seems that after making a decision, Brother Slocum suddenly remembered that he had forgotten something at home. The truth of the matter was that he had forgotten to stay there. So fast did our hero speed that when he reached home he was not able to stop, but as he was going in a southerly direction from here, it is expected Chocolate Nearer Feather Title "DANGEROUS GERMS M.

The Keed completely outclassed his man. Only in a few spots did Fernandez give him any trouble. Chocolate landed punches with such rapidity that it was practically impossible to keep up with them. Ringside writers credited Chocolate with every round of them, however, exaggerating the opinion that they thought Fernandez took the second round, when the Filipino got home to Chocolate's body and head with a shower of rights and lefts. All of Chocolate's punches were hard, clean shots, but Fernandez stood up under the punishment, shaking off the blows. At the end of the seventh round the Keed complained to his manager, Louis Gutierrez, that his left hard was bothering him, and in the eighth round he proceeded to fight with only his right hand, and even under this handicap, easily kept ahead of the Filipino. ahead of the game. Black Bill, a stabilemate of Chocolate's, won the decision over Phil Tobias, white, of Brooklyn, in the semi-windup. Challenges Andre Routis Following the Cuban's victory, Chocolate's manager offered to match him with Andre and a white, hold of the heaviest weight, title, for a championship bout. Chocolate to get 20 per cent, instead of the challenger's usual 12½ per cent. It is not thought that Routis will take him on soon, and many disciples of fistiana predict that it will be suicide for Routis if he ever does. How the Blows Landed ROUND ONE—Chocolate stakes three left lightly to the face, then stacks hard left to the body. Fernandez is trying to bore in but Chocolate keeps dancing behind him. He then jumps to the jaw. Then Chocolate cuts loose and batters Fernandez with hard left jaws to the face and right hooks to the jaw. The Cuban was beating his man to the punch. It is Chocolate's round. THE WO—Chocolate outboxes Fernandez, who is intent on trying to land a haymaker. Fernandez succeeds in putting over a couple of good body punches but for the most part Chocolate makes with hard punches but with hard punches but the Pilpino keeps boring in. Toward the end of the round Fernandez grits his teeth and slams away lustily at the body. Chocolate blocks most of these punches but moves to the mouth. It is Chocolate's round. ROUND THREE—They start after each other before the bell rang. Fernandez landz Fernandez instead of boxing which is just what the Filipino wants. Chocolate stabs Fernandez so frequently that the Filipino has several punches to the law Fernandez grins at him. Fernandez hooks hard left to the body. Th - were boxing closely, the bering hit the head. Fernandez fouls the chocolate. Fernandez FOUR—Chocolate hooks two left high on the head, blocking right counters. Chocolate gets Fernandez on ropes and boats him with the etoufo of puncher. Fernandez streams blood. Chocolate gives Fernandez a terrific battering on the face and jaws, and Fernandez stands up under the barrage. At the bell Fernandez comes back and they were in a rally in "Don't run the risk smoke Cremo-It's certified as sanitary" "Don't bring dangerous germs into your mouth through unsanitary cigars . . . they may result in many serious diseases. "Avoid this risk by smoking Cremos . . . then you know that every single leaf used in Cremo Cigars has been scientifically treated by U. S. Government approved methods.

Howard St., Baltimore the Havana kid's corner. It is Chocolate's round. FIFTH ROUND—Chocolate turns Fernandez completely around with a right to the jaw. He then proceeds to paint Ignacio a hair lurid crimson and Fernando a feet with a right uppercut. Chocolate stabs Fernandez six times with a left to the face, then beats his body like a base drum with the right. Chocolate's round GIX—Fernandez tries to find Chocolate's elusive head with a left jaw but he misses half a dozen tries. Caught in Fernandez's corner, Chocolate makes his opponent miss, then augments his attack. He bites Fernando's Filipinos face with a flock of hooks and jabs and blood streams from Ignacio's nose and mouth. Chocolate's round. ROUND SEVEN—Chocolate makes Fernandez favor his left hand again then counters with hard wallows to the jaw. Chocolate favors his left hand in this round hitting his harder punches with his right. But he carries the honors of round 16, is fighting with one hand and is he beating Fernandez. Now he smacks over a left hook and stabs a few leftovers to the face. Fernandez lands two rights to the jaw. Fernandez faces Fernando, who is most of them are blocked. Chocolate is making him miss. At the bell Fernandez was about to strike, but Chocolate caught his fist and struck him with a hand—CHOCOLATES ROUND ROUND NINE—Chocolate shoots lefts and rights to the face. He gets in close and blocks Ignacio's punches. Fernandez with right to the wrist, blocks Chocolate shoots with the pinch, off-setting its effect. Fernandez is tired and not punching as much as he has been. Chocolate gets him on the ropes and digs shots with his right hand. Fernandez and has him reeling. Ignacio was very tired on the ropes when the ball comes to his rescue. It is Chocolate's round. ROUND TWO—Chocolate shake hands and then rounds two lefts to the face, then two rights to the face. Chocolate makes Fernandez mix then bangs him on the jaw with right smacks. They stand head to head. Body, Chocolate measures Fernandez with his left then shoots over the right. The bell rings.

Princess Anne, Md. July 17, 1829 July 17, 1829 in the daily press relative to the street brawl in Princess Anne on Saturday night July 13th inst. was greatly exaggerated. The incident occurred about midnight and law-breaking citizens, both white and colored had retired. None of the colored people in Princess Anne were either run out of town or out of their homes. The victim was one of those unfortunate brawls likely to occur in any town. The colored people who are to visit our town school session need give no concern about their safety and protection.

Husband Starts Proceedings on Infidelity Charge. A romance which escaped the workings of the Virginia race purity law, went on the rocks here this week when Mrs. Helen White, who is colored, 1024 McCulloh street, had her white husband haled into the Northwestern police station on a charge of non-support, Sunday. To further complicate matters, White, who admits his voluntary part in the romance which started in Virginia, started proceedings for a divorce and will testify that his wife has been unfaithful to him. According to Mrs. White, their law affair started in Virginia, and because of laws preventing their marriage there, they went to a northern state, where the knot was tied. Some time ago they came to Baltimore and have lived together at the McCullotte street address. They lived happily together until a month ago their domestic sailing became rough. White states that he discontinued support only when he believed his mate untrue to him. Magistrate Johannson at the Northwestern police station gave him a reprimand and ordered him to support his wife. He was dispassioned on this condition. The Whites have no children.

ALL NIGHT PARTY TALE DOESN'T SAVE HIM Mrs. Gladys Brown Says He Entered Second Story Bedroom Window Exhibiting her underclothing and relating how he attacked her. Mrs. Gladys Brown, 1318 N. Calhoun street, preferred charges against Ogden Fountain, 25, 1512 School street, in the Northwestern police station, Sunday. In her testimony Mrs. Brown stated that, Fountain, who is a friend of her husband, entered her bedroom after climbing through a second story window.

The woman's husband testified he saw the man in an attempt to assault her. Fountain denied the charges stating he had attended a party of four at the woman's house during the absence of her husband who was in Annapolis, and had stayed at the house all night.
