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.
It was learned that the matter had

NEW YORK—The Board of Directors of the N.A.A.C.P. it was announced here recently, has granted a leave of absence to James Weldon Johnson, National secretary of the organization, to enable him to accept a fellowship just awarded to him by the Julius Fund for a year to do creative writing, and in order that he may gain a much needed rest and relief from the duties and responsibilities of his office.

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."

NORTH PLATTE, NEB. — With Governor Author Weaver and Attorney General C. A. 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. Salisbury and Chief of the Dorem Darrall declared Monday that they were carrying out the orders of the State's Attorney General and had sworn in a large number of special officers. "It is our duty to protect the citizens," they said, "and protect all who return to the city."

This new element is the Chinese who are being taken to French West Africa, where they are Tattinger, deputy from Paris recently complimented M. Maginot, French Minister of Colonies, for having thought "of relieving the black workers by sending Chinese labor to France."
Chinese are being sent as the result of investigations made by experts in the region, who went both to China and to West Africa to make researches as to whether the disease was transmitted to them and to defend the fever and other rigors of West African climate.

CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT IN LIBERIA, HERE
T. 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."

PRINCESS ANNE, Md.
Twelve persons, all colored, were injured in a race riot here Saturday night.
Trouble ensued when a large number of colored people from the surrounding country who come to town every Saturday night to do their shorthaired shows, were set upon by some white persons who had been drinking heavily and insisted upon showing numbers of their party against race folk as they passed to and fro on the street.
One Side of Street
When the colored people refused to be shoved into the street, the situation grew bitter and whites then orphaned people to stay on one side of the street. They who disobeyed were knocked down and ordered out of town. About 11.30 p.m., after the show was closed, Negroes were forced to leave the communities and groceries on the main street, and they for their lives. In the mob was the low element of white race, including tomato packers in the city. This town at this season of the year. A number of colored people found refuge in D. C.

Princess Anne's one full-time officer who is about 60 years old departs frequently to be successful in halting all the rioters. However, he was powerless to handle the large mob among whose members he worked, and who works Saturdays and Saturday nights only.

Near Riot at Vermont Ave. Baptist Church
The Nation's Biggest All Negro Weekly.
NEAR RIOT WHEN CHURCH TRIES TO ELECT PASTOR
Money Appropriated to Fetch
One Candidate Said to
Have Gone to Another.
MEMBERS USE FISTS
WASHINGTON.—A near riot was precipitated when two factions clashed at a meeting called to elect a new pastor of Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, Friday night. The trouble started, when two members accused an official of using $100, which they say was voted to bring to the day'say Mayman Henderickson, Charleston, Vermont, the city, but which was used to defray expenses of another candidate. The accusation precipitated a violent quarrel and soon fists were flying. Someone had taken a knife which sent the panic-striken and screaming members to every outlet from the edifice. The accusation of the misuse of the $100 expense fund was made against M. Johnson, church officer, by William Washington and M. Maxwell, other officials. Johnson, who was supporting Rev. J. B. Jack, failed to give a satisfactory answer as to the use of the money.
Election
The meeting was called to consider the applications of some thirty candidates to fill the vacancy which would be filled by the late Rev. J. E. Willis, who for seventeen years had pastored the church. The Vermont Ave. Baptist Church is the second largest of the denominations in the state, having 8,000 members. It was made famous throughout the Baptist con-

WASHINGTON, D. C. (CNS)—A horde of yellow jacketes are to be thanked for the warning given the group of police officers in Loveland near Silver Springs. Md. that a couple of policemen were stalking them, here last week. Members of the Silver Springs sub-station were sent to investigate the information that a crap game was in progress in the Loveland Lanes. They rode around back of the spot where they were leaving their motor car, began progress, stealthily stalking the crap shooters. When almost upon their prey, they strayed a nest of yellow jackets, who straightway attacked them, and completely routed the offending policemen, whose exclamations caused them to soon notified the crap shooters that they had company. When the policemen finally reached the spot where they were progress, they discovered a mixed group of white and colored men lustily singing old favorites, accompanied by a banjo.

HIGHLAND BEACH, Md. (Special)
—All quiet on the Chesapeake, but it's a lull after a storm. 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."

D. C. 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. Washington concerning his qualifications as an archi-

The Rev. Marshall was informed by the Rev. Washington that the 1919 bill for the Pilgrim Baptist Church, but the plans were not used then because of a lack of finances. 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.

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."

‘Most of the branches whose re-

sults from the larger towns and cities
fare received, the N.A.AC.P. will be
enabled to expand its activities which
in turn will profoundly affect the
lot of the Negro in the United States.

Plans for Appeal of
Gary School Case
Right to Have Separate Schools to

NEW YORK—Final steps leading
towards appeal of the famous school
segregation case at Gary, Ind,, to th?
state Supreme Court, were decided
upon at @ conference just held in
Cleveland between attorneys in the
$3. and representativs of the N.A.
‘This case arose in 1927 when, fol-
lowing anti-Negro propaganda by the
Ku 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
Crumvacker of the Porter County
Circuit Court and it is from this
denial that apveal is being taken.
Attorney R. L. Bailey of Indianap-
olis will act as chief counsel in the
appeal and Edw. Bacoyn of Gary,
will serve as associate counsel.
Legal steps taken by the Assocla-
tion prevented the erection of a seg-
regated school for which $15.000 had
been appropriated.

“First, difficulty in getting into

“Two, racial inequality of day

“Three, school funds, unequal
distribution in public schools and

“Four, residential segregation,

“Five, ballot, through whose vi-

Discovery of peonage in Liveri®, te. sub-

Rhichitiee of the League of Nations, may wel
GSeuest to the Liberian electorate that the ad-
suseerration of President C. D. B. King has
outlived its usefulness.
‘Peonage in Liberia takes two forms. Th one
care natives are compelled to work on the soads
case. Months of the year without food oF PAY,
fand must furnish thelr own tools.
na ives, who refuse to work are flogged. and
‘mets who refuse to furnish workers, are fined.
“The second form of peonage is virtual trading
In siaves. Natives are Kidnaped and shipped to
Fernando Po (Spanish West Africa), where, they
Aeeforeed to work on plantations and roads.
‘Sinfe shipment of Isborers's in violation of Li-
betian iaw. but is winked at by government of-
eerie who get $50 for each native sent out of
the country.
‘President. King Js reported as receiving $18
of this amount. Under him, the vice-president
Sr the repitblic, the Postmaster general, and
She Secretary of state are shipping agents, who
fel si8 for each worker impressed in their re-
Sective 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 ®
fisantic slave pen, not only enslaving humans
Figs, but using its governmental machinery to
itoure profit out of the slave trame, History
records no queerer turn of events,
For all of this, President King tx responsible.
He nas violated Liberian unwritten lew which
tas in the United Btates) forbids a president
from serving more than two terms. Through
fileged fraud, Mr. King 1s now serving his third
term in office.
‘President King, it is, who has insisted on &
five-million-dollar American loan et the unusuel-
Ty high rate of seven per cent interest, bringing
Buin it a flock of white financial advisers, audl-
Tors, and customs officials, drawing sslaries and
expenses estimated at, $100,000 a year. | These
Sats be paid by Liberia in addition to the tn-
terest.
‘Mr. King has ralsed his own salary to $15,000
fe year. He has seen to it that twenty-one rep-
Fesentatives and ten senators draw salaries of
$5000 each for four or five weeks’ work each
year.
‘With a fine chance of getting the country upon
a strong economie basis, founded upon the thrift
fnaustry and education of the uncivilized natives,
the has chosen to explott them instead.
‘sutravagance. petty graft, election frauds and

statesmanship.

Nothing Mr, DePriest has sald has angered the
South more than his repelition everywhere of
his advice that the Negro should study the Con-
stitution 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
eriticism.
‘The Raleigh News suggests that Mr. DePriest
emasnt much sense, and the less he has to say
the Deller Jt will be for him.” Mr. DePriest hes
been “dared to make that speech down in rural
Georgia.”
‘Stranger still, the conservative Norfolk (Vir-

‘has {ts own peculiar notions about things, and
fle peculiar aversion to outside interference with

adds.
‘The Guide ts supported by J. J. (Uncle Tom)

DePriest who has no diplomacy.”

are men in office in the Island of Hayti who
would bear comparison with, men of the same

A Peace in Our Lives That Can Only Be Filled
By the Church.
‘To the Editor:
It was at a Sunday morning service. 1 sat in
chureh and watched the people as they came
in. Children in their teens, grown people and old-
‘er ones, 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 chureh. And as I sat there and saw that
‘Stooped figure with white hair, moving slowly up
the aisle, the question came inte my mind, why:
‘Here was represented # group of all ages and all
walks of life, and all finding their way to the
House of Worship. Why were they bere? Was
ita custom or necessity?
When God breathed into the clod the breath
of life, and it became 3 living soul, thet so
realized then and there that it was’ linked up
‘with some mysterious power. Hence, the inborn
desire for worship was sought as & means for
‘communication with the same. ‘The groves and
mountains were used as the first churches. But
when Christ came He established His church ir
the hearts of men. And they instituted bulld-
ings and dedicated them to His service. And mar
‘ume aside from the shiting scenes of, every dn
life and seeks that spiritual strength that shoulé
rule and direct the physical. a

NON-PARTISAN
GROUP TO BACK
MAYOR WALKER
Dr. Albert S. Beasley to Head Committee to Promote Mayor's Re-Election.
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. DrBois, James Weldon Johnson, Dr. Louis T. Wright, Rev. W. Haves, Rev. J. W. Brown, Dr. Paul Collins, Rev. J. W. Brown, Roy Lancaster, Charles E. Toney, Esq. James S. Watson, Roegers W. Griffin, Frank R. Chilcholm, Lonnie Hicks, Rev. James B. Adam, Wimmer G. Lucas, John A. Davis, John W. Duncan, Dr. Leo Fitz Neason, Walter White, Dr. Allen Graves, Dr. Peter Murray, Edward H. Wilson, Dr. S. H. Pottinger, Eubankie Jones, and Dr. T. O.

They were also together when Smith struck Dr. Markman, he said.
BAND CONCERS ARE ATTRACTING MANY
Municipal Band to Play Concert at

BALTIMORE LAGS IN PLAYGROUND WORK FOR RACE
Report, Pigeon-Holed by P. A. L. Since February, Just Made Public.
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.

Race Actors Not Trying to Ape White, Says Writer

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."

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."

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. Church, has recently resigned as a member of Trinity's choir.
Mrs. Gross has been a very faithful member of the choir just mentioned, and her services will be greatly missed. The writer has this earliest experience in learning how to accompany serving as accompaniment for Mrs. Gross. Many valuable lessons in the subtle art of accompanying were learned by the writer as a youth from Mrs. Mrs. Gross" resigned was received and she was elected by the choir at charity and she was elected an honorary member for life.
Musicians' Union
Local No. 543 of the American Federation of Musicians is making some mighty fine progress under its new administration. These are now being formulated for an active fall campaign for better co-operation among all local musicians. This is indeed a step forward. A glance at the rosters of the official boards of the local will give you the reason for the splendid advancement being made.

ROYAL
A happy girl, who had lived only for excitement, but who later experienced a heartbreak that changed her views, such as Mary Pickford in "Coquette," the talking picture that comes to the Royal Theatre for the first three days of next week. As Norma Besant in "Coquette," Miss Pickford plays the role of the belle of a little Southern town, who laughed her merry way in and out of countless love affairs, and threw flirtations. With youthful zeit for life and the living living of it, she died in the moonlight, secure in the safety of her little world. Always beside her stood Stanley Wentworth, son of her father's attorney and best friend.
Then came the day when Norma stepped outside the pale of her own social world and met Michael Jeffrey, carefree, hotheaded adventurer from the village of Victoria, Michael refused to become another victim of her wiles, refused to play with her the game of make-believe. Suddenly, for the first time in her life, Norma realized that she was truly in love. Overnight she was taken from a woman, whimsical girl into a man, ready to face her father's anger and to risk her entire world for the sake of the man she loved. For the last half of the week the Royal is offering William Boyle in the eathernature "Dogs" of the United States Marine Corps.
Robert Armstrong and Alan Hale are Boyd's two buddies, comprising the "Three Musketeers" with Fred Kohler featured in the heavy role.

In a notable signalling test members of the Lion Patrol showed unusual knowledge of the "wiwag" system. Those who participated were Arthur Robinson, leader, Elbert Carter, Charles Blake and Richard Cummings. A short talk on the significance of the scout badge was given by Senior Patrol leader Henry Douglass.
Following the presentation by the boys the parents gave short talks on the usefulness of the scout organization. The first was by Mrs. II. Douglass, who gave the history of the troop, with many incidents of the struggle for recognition. Mrs. Lillian Lottier, essayed, "The quickness of help when called on by follow scouts and the help given by encouraging parents at the camp." Rev. Walter English prailed the officials and teachers of the boys for the unusual training they had given in a sheriff
Scout Master Simmons was introduced and later Ex-Scout Commissioner George B. Murphy gave a humorous ditty on "quickness" after which Scout Master Simmons presented description of troop and some difficult Senior Assistant Scout Master Leroy Coles gave a short talk on "the attendance of the scouts and the needed cooperation of the parents." Miss Flossie White Secretary of the Commissary where the boys held regularly, encouraged the boys and thanked the many parents for attending the exhibition.

TOUGHS DON'T STOP INTERRACIAL DANCE
Epithet "White Niggers" Fails to Daunt White and Colored Group.
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 second man who identified Thompson was Edward Green, 1409 E. Pratt street, whom he met on Pratt street near W. Falls avenue on July 12 and offered a job on the Pullman cars of the B. and O. Railroad. When Green accepted the offer, the man told him he would have to pay $20 for a uniform. After getting the money for the uniform, Thompson took the man on Baltimore street and told him to wait outside while he went into a clothes. When failed to return Green notified police.
The man was arrested by Detective Lieutenant R. Porter and F. Dunn of the Vigilance Squad Thompson is known by police as a filmmaker and highwayman and has a long criminal record, police say.

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. After completing high school, I entered the Dickerson School of Law in Carlisle, Penn, and later took a post graduate course at the University of Pennsylvania.
"My early ambition was to be a lawyer—A Blackstone or a Webster winning out over my opponents by the backdrop of Wikipedia."
Muse is a Phi Beta Sigma man of the Alpha Chapter, Washington, D.C. "My earlier dreams of work with a law firm, my law career, I abandoned and took up singing. I knew hat a Negro would have a fairer field in this line of work than the Negro's voice; whereas, at that time, it did not think of him as a possessor of high intelligence.
Was a Member of One of the Country's First Quartets
"I became the Negro quartet known Four." Our quartet entertained at Palm Beach for many of the country's wealthiest people. We colored stock dramatic, company and toured the South. Eventually I found myself in vaudeville, billed under the act of kissing, then later 'Chappelle and Muse.'
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.
He abandoned vaudeville "he continued to play the theatre manager in Kansas City, but after a short while the bure of the stage intrigued again, so I went to New York, and added the notable Lafayette Players."
Is Master of the Role of Dr
Jekyll and Mr. Hale."
For months Muse played to capacity houses. 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. His deep oides joices thrills you with depth of your life. His Agnes of his love for her—the half-animal maril and the fendish laughter of the lightning-like changes drug-crazy Hyde fills your soul with capacity as a make-up artist may when one learns that he roles as many as five different roles in this drama at one performance.
His Ability Wins a Gold Watch
For encreasing this super role, Muse met with, with a beautiful gold mirror, Mr. Schifman, an authoritative in New York dramatic circles. On one portrait of repertoire, the

Mr. Muse has a unique way of memorizing.
"I never attempt to commit lines until I have a mental picture of the entire play. When I receive the play, I read it over two or three times. After my second rehearsal, I know my lines perfectly. I have used this method in committing a different play each week for as many as twenty-six consecutive weeks."

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.
"I believe that girls who intend to enter beauty contests should train for beauty contests, let the trains for race. They should be taught posture and how to correct slight defects, but this is the story of to crop out in a bathing suit."
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. I walked into the museum and met members of the company looked at each other then back to me. They were mystified.
Audience Breaks Into Furor
"It's Muse! That's Muse!" they cried. 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

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." Stars from all the leading Paris revues also appear nightly, and we lace the pleasure of meeting there the charming and clever cabaret stars, like Siegfried-Barbore, who very amiably presented us with one of her pictures autographed

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.
"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.

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.

"And the Box Box Diun knows whet-

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.

Week's Poem
NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP
Golden head so lowly bending.
He was a man, his eyes wide.
Dewy eyes, half open, half opened.
Lipping out her evening prayer.
"Now V lay, repeat it, darling."
"Lay me," lisped the tiny lips of my daughter, kissing, bending 'O' the folded finger lips.
"Down to sleep," - To sleep, "she mur
And the curly head bent low;
I pray the Lord, I gently added,
"May my耳 all, I know."
"Pray the Lord," the sound came faintly,
Painter still—"My soul to keep?"
Translator still—"My soul to nodded,
And the child was fast salute.
But the dew eyes half opened
When I clasped lier to my breast.
And the dew voice softly whispered,
"Mamma, God knows all the rest."
Oh the rapture, sweet, unbroken,
Children's myriad voices floating
Up to heaven, record it thens.
If, of all that has been written,
I could choose what might be mine,
I could choose what might be divine,
Rishty to the throbbing divine.

Mrs. Virginia Walker Broughton, A.M. was not only the first woman graduate of Piskun university but even her first day it opened in 1865. She graduated from the college course in 1875. She was also the first race woman graduate of the Mason and Dixon line. She is 73, but still as active as any young woman in Tennessee. Mrs. Broughton graduated from the college in Memphis, Tennessee, in Howe Institute, Memphis; State Normal, Huntsville, Ala.; and was for a while dean of the theology department at the schools in lams. Nashville. For the last forty-two years she has been more intimately connected with Baptist missionaries in this country and the Orient and raised a family of three girls and one boy, one girl a doctor, one a musician, one a teacher, and one a co-founder of Broughton believes the modern girl is all right, but believes we are getting too far away from the home as a place where children should grow up.

is a distinction in that. North of the waist-line, one-half the members of both parties looked as masculine as a he-man in a Hart, Schaffner and Marx ad, hair cut and all. South of the waist-line they looked like women, but you couldn't tell that when they were sitting down.
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.
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

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.

CLEVELAND, Ohio--After persisting that she be given the floor to set forth an appeal from the Cleveland Workers Interracial League. Saide Van-Veen, a delegate from that organization, evoked a storm of applause when she stated that the most important program that the organization could promote could be the hours and working conditions for the tolling masses. At first the chairman was disposed to deny the league delegate the floor, but she was given three minutes to others present insisted that the speak.
POOR WAGES.
In her appeal Miss Van Veen declared that while officials and delegates representing the N.A.A.C.P. were sitting there comfortable and in charge, she had thousands of workers toiling at starvation wages, during long hours and sweating their lives away. What the organization is doing, she said, is important, but it should include the need for workers to be trained. The fundamental task of the Negro in this country is to organize and put up a fight for wages, hours and conditions in shop, mills and mines, she stated. In the American Negro Labor Congress declare that with the exception of a very few speakers such

abide by their restrictions, if they

The local Black Sox shut out Hildale, of Philadelphia here Sunday, 3 to 0, gaining revenge for the 9 to 3 loss last Thursday. Rain halted the game, the fifth frame for the American and a slight win continued until the 8th when it began to come down heavily, necessitating the calling off of the nightcap.
Pitchers Battle
From the outset, it could readily see that Hildale was the strongest lineup of the American Negro League were opposing each other. Cooper, pitching for Hildale, being supported, these highly touted players, Oss, and Dihigo, held the Sox scoreless until the fifth inning, and allowed only seven hits, at least one of which would not be recorded but for the condition it had. And so, the jucky hit, the score had ceased 1-0.

Although Cooper had the edge in the pitcher's battle, allowing the Soo only seven hits and whiffing eight Slab Artist Yokoyama well perfectly and the pitcher harnered by the team were so scattered that they were impossible to be made. Only one inning, the fifth, did the Darbyts threaten to come out from the horse collars, but Dixon stopped the rally with a perfect plate, retiring visitors with two retires. Cooper set six down by the turnaround route.
The Hildale's lineup looked Impressive on paper, the Sox proved the stronger on the field. Although one may have had the opinion that there was at least one richfield player, the quickly displeased when Burbure singled the time up and succeeded in getting a hand when he bunted in the

The first thrill came in the fourth when Warfield picked Johnson's ball off 2nd base, throwing to first, retiring Mackenzie. **Dixon's Arm**
In the fifth things began to happen. The Dihigo hit for a single and Hudson followed suit. The second hit made third when Cooper singled, and Hudspeth was out when Jackson flew to Dixon, who returned the ball to Clark. Really came to me, but I almost knocked the spunky catch down. The fans went wild. **Sox Score On Fluke**
The Sox's first run came in the 6th when Washington hit with a single to left. Two more came in the eighth but they must be credited to the condition of the field and the players. We had 3rd and Burrows, second. Wilson grounded to been an easy out but the ball something after hitting over the basement head, aiding Clark and Burbage to score. At that time, there were two out.

Western Baseball Magnates See War With East in Offing
Claim Tactics of Homestead Grays in Obtaining Players Should be Abolished Through Written Agreement Against Player "Stealing:"
Again there comes a rumbling of a baseball feud between the East and West.
And strangely enough, the dark clouds are billowing up in the smoky Pittsburgh region and hence come Cumberland Beach and his Home-Grays. And it all comes about this way, take it as you will.

When Radcliffe, catcher of the Detroit Stars, was seen in Chicago while the City team was enclosing a bitter series with the Kansas City Monarchs, tongues began to wag again, and it was passed around that he, too, was on his way to join the Homesteaders.
You probably remember that last year, Floyd "Jelly" Gardner, outfielder of the Chicago club, after the start of the season and came east to join the Homestead Grays. Words were passed and nothing more came of it. GREAT. This year Stanford Jackson, outfielder and third baseman of the Chicago club, and Buck Miller, also of Chicago, who was born in Boston, then manager of the Windy City outfit, have come to the roost of the Posseyites. So when Sam Streeter, the former manager of the Windy City team, was seen in Chicago recently, during the American Giants-Black Baron series, tongues began to wag that his team would pitcher, to join up with the Pennsylvania club.

It develops that there is no written agreement which will prevent the leagues from snaring players until there is a written agreement he will feel free to get his players in any way that he may see.

"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.

Farrell was not permitted to do his uniform and the Jersey team in the bout, but was compelled to view the game from the grand-stand. While he took the decision calmly, his team mates were highly incensed as Farrell is considered the best pitcher on the team, and they spoke in no uncertain terms of the color bar that the local police injected.
The Atlantic City nine, with Miller pitching, defeated Baltimore, 8-2.

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.

Doctor's formula safely relieves rheumatic pain
Actual medical practice taught a reputable physician that to drive out rheumatic pains the system must be cleansed of acid poisons. This led him to originate the formula of St. Joseph's Prescription C-2223.
For years he prescribed it in the treatment of sub-acute and chronic rheumatic aches and pains, gout and neuralgia. Ask your druggist for the 600 trial size—or the regular $1.00 bottle which is sold on a money-back guarantee.

The Passing Review
“WHY CAN'T WE HAVE race umpires here in Baltimore,”
writes RTL, who signs himself also, “Ardent Fan,” and whose
identity we can swear to by the handwriting.
Yes, why can't we? we echo, and an impressive silence greets
us. How many times we've had this question propounded to. us,
and how many times we have overheard it, we ate not, prepared to
say, but we believe that if we've heard it once we've heard it
umpteen times.
‘Umpires, no matter what the color of thelr skin or the, tex-
ture of thelt hair may be, will at some time or other find them-
selves unpopular and their judgments criticized. ‘There 1s hardly
a ime that we visit the park that, we do not hear, some adverse
comment on a decision of one of the umpires. Strikes are balls,
‘or vice versa, the fans always say, and 2 man 4s always safe if
he Is called out, "The decisions of white umpires, for a long time,
‘were preferred to those of a race umpire decause it was felt that
the former had no particular Interest in elther of the two teams
Playing. and would thus be more lkely to render a fair and just
lecision.
"Phanx to the spread of knowledge. this bellef does not pre-
vail to the extent that it once did, and the use of race umpires
has become more and more prevaient, In the National Negro
League, while there have been some fights and smashings. the work
‘of Umpires Ghoiston, Donaldson, Boone, and Brown, & newcomer,
has stood out in bold relief as being of high caliber.
In the East this year we have had Judy Gans at Hilldale,
Bill Gatewood at Atlantic Gity and Caesar Jamieson at the Lin-
coln Giants In New York, and from what we can learn, the ser-
Vices of these arbiters have been as satisfactory as those of any
other group. Harry Hairstone was given a, chaitce in some of the
pre-season games here. but never worked in any big league con-
tests, to our knowledge. Why is it that Baltimore has not been
able to attract competent men to call the strikes and balls here?
We get it from rather good authority that none have made any
serious atimpt to connect themselves in the Monumental City.
‘And we further believe that if mnen, competently schooled in the
usiness of ‘umpiring, would apply, their requests would be given
due consideration. You must remember that every man who has
played or can play baseball, is not necessarily the man to umpire
baseball. It takes more than the ability to play ball to make a
man, syccess/ul umpire, | The fact that Baltimore has no race
umpires here, we delieve ‘seriously, is not a racial problem at all.
but merely a situation that has developed because the supply has not
kept pace with the demand. If anyone else has a different solution
‘we will be glad to lend an ear. a ee
that he 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 hoping thelr tribe will Increase.
THEY USUALLY FAW DOWN. or else they wobble dreadfully.
when that boy Kid Chocolate pastes ‘em. and the little bundle of
Guben ENT, proved his consistency lash Week, Py bumping Ignacio
andez.
“"itwas the Keed's first fight as a featherweight, and judging
from the comments following the fracas, 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 Fernander in the Epbets Field ring Wednesday, night
‘The vietory makes the Havana Kid stand out as the chap who

Al Singer can make the featherweight limit and be strong at the

when the latter is Aghting in the form he showed the other
ight.
“it 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
atest of his hundred and Afty-odd victories. | For the Havana

ordinary fatherwelghts, us I said in my report of te 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 Choco-
Jate will do.”
‘Asserting that Chocolate is a much classler fighter than Gene
‘Tunney ever was, and that he is much better than Al Singer, Ed
Sullivan writes as follows in tae Evening Graphic:
“Watching Kid Chocolate as he crucified Ignacio Fernandez
in the Bobets Field ring, you were struck by a marked similarity
between the little Cuban and Gene Tunney, former heavyweight
055.
“chocolate in full retreat has the knack of landing damag:
tg blows with both hands, ven when he is golng backwards at
full speed, ‘Chocolates abs do not seem to lose any of thelr cut,
ting 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 @ lot classler in
action than Tunney, of course. .
“Unilke Tunney, who could not bob his head to evade
punches, Chocolate is as agile as a jumping jack. He slips
hundreds of punches in a fight by dueking and weaving, and this
agility makes him almost invulnerable when trapped on the
Opes, 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.
sejAfter his ignt with Fernandes T'see no reason to alter that
opinion.
“Chocolate would beat Al Singer and probably knack, him
out, even though Chocolate would have to concede welght.”
SOMETHING ROTTEN IN DENMARK. might be a suitable
way to characterize the news that Al Brown, the defending ban-
tamweight champion, has been suspended by the Illinois Athletic
Commission because ‘he, is alleged to have failed to carry out a
contract for a bout in Denmark.
‘Brown and his manager Dave Lumiansky have been barred be-
cause It is sald they did not carry out thelr 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 Minols.

NEW YORK—Making bis debut

the little Cuban ring general,

victory over Ignacio Fernandes

match at Ebbets Field, Wednes-
day night.
‘The Keed completely outciassed_his

nandez give him any trouble, Choco-
late landed punches with such rapid-

to keep up with them. Ringside

pressing the opinion that ' they

All of Chocolate’s punches were
hard, clean shots, but Pernandez
stood up under the punishment, shak-

seventh round the Keed complained
to his manager, Louis Gutierrez, that
his left hand was bothering him, and
in the eighth round he proceeded to
fight with only his right hand. and

ahead of the Filipino. *

MIXED VIRGINIA ROMANCE GOES ON ROCKS HERE
Race Wife Hales White Husband into Court on Non-Support Charge.
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. Finding her asleep Fountain tore her clothing from her body in an attempt criminally to assault her. Waking suddenly she screamed causing the man to flee. 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. He was fined $23 and costs on charges of assault.
Man Thrown from Truck; Is Killed

FormerCooksvilleLadMakes Good as New York Engineer
Joseph Parker Stops Building Subways to Pay Visit to Home Folks in Howard County.
From Howard county, Maryland, to the subways of New York is a long ways but Joseph Parker has made it.
Not quite six feet. Brownskinned, his face and arms showing a healthy glow from his outdoor work. Parker one of 1900 prison inmates engaged in building the great network of tunnels under New York City.
MAN WHO KILLED HIS AFFINITY IS CAUGHT
William Jackson Apprehended After Fight in New Jersey Restaurant.
He motored down with Mrs. Parker and two baby boys to visit his mother at Cooksville, Md., and his sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Barber of Presstman street. He also paid short visits to his College, Normal and College, where he attended school before going to Bates College and graduating from the Boston School of Technology.
Not yet 35, Parker has made tunnel building his life work. Besides the subway upon which is working, he says New York has planned seven other subways and the East river. Each of these projects will require an average of five years, so that for the next sixty years, New York will have tunnel construction work on its hands.
$300 TO JOIN UNION.
Workers in New York he said, in some cases, must pay as high as $300 entrance fees to join the unions which accounts for the small number of colored men with union cards.
"SANDHOGS."
"Sandhogs," the men who excavate the tunnels, working deep in the earth in compressed air chambers, half colored and half metallic, so sailed to high and hurdles so short that contractors have found it cheaper to build river tunnels in 200 feet lengths and lower them into the river rather than tunnel under the river bed.

A breaker of hearts with a heart that was brittle.
She just "carried on" with this and that "adolescent man"—but she went through fire and torment for the one man she could love.
Men meted at her glance—until there came the man at whose glance she metted!
She towed with men's hearts, but a be-man's love wrenched her soul.
She left the dinner jacket coud for a blissful hour with a mountaineer, and life became a drama.
Six months apart seemed like a century—then came one night when life seemed too brief.
Her most vivid achievement—her most modern triumph.
