Two New Taxis.
Despite a statement from Nevin's bus line officials to the contrary, Baltimoreans insisted this week that the inter-city busses continued to jim-crow colored people.
Joseph Turner and John W. Parker, of the Royal Cab Company, Baltimore, gave the AFRO-AMERICAN an account of their experiences this week after a trip to Detroit to bring home two new taxicabs for the Royal Taxi Company, bringing their total number of cabs now in use to nine.
Mr. Parker said when they entered the bus at the Liberty street terminal here en route to Detroit, they were advised to take back seats. The bus was crowded and they sat wherever they pleased.
After a rest in Pittsburgh they declared the bus was crowded in reaching Detroit and continued again and again until they arrived at Detroit Tuesday, they purchased two Buick motor taxicabs and drove them back to Baltimore, 600 miles leaving Wednesday at 3:30 p.m., arriving here Thursday 12 p.m.

DAD SAW DEAD WIFE IN GIRL SHE BORE HIM
Owen Thomas Arrested When Second Child Nears Birth Here Monday.
· "MARRIED" AT 16
Daughter - Wife Confesses
Brothers Threaten to Kill.
Did Owen Thomas, 48, 1411 Lanvale street, fall in love with his own daughter, Annie?
Did he "marry" her at sixteen, because he saw in her the living, moving image of his dead wife, as he occupied the Lanvale street house with Annie as "wife" and "housewife" and saw her bring him their child in her arms?
What were the thoughts of Annie as she saw herself doomed to a drab, sordid and illegal union with her own father; her heart dead to romance, to the call of love and the thrill of a youthful woof?
Answers to these questions will be formed about to become a mother for the second time, tells her story in court. She has already told her strange story to hospital physicians and the father or "husband" was held without ball, charged with normal knowledge and incest, Monday.
FACED DEATH.
The crisis which brought the unusual confession came when the young "wife" was taken to the hospital by physicians, who diagnosed her with cancer. Her condition became so critical that she, fearing death, told all.
SECOND CHILD.
Had the baby lived this would have been her second child as a result of her relations with her father, she said. The first, born two years ago, is living. At the behest of her father, she said, she told friends and father, her child was a young man in the neighborhood named Robert Jones. When her mother died two sons went away to work and she was left in the home alone with the father at the age of 13. It was shortly after this that her father fell in love with her, and became his "wife," she told authorities.
DID HOUSE WORK
Regularly she did the work, cooking, housecleaning and washing, for her father, and the two occupied the school. When her first child was born, she continued to take care of the home and maintain the relation with her father, she said. She had too, or maybe too, of her own, she finally ceased to resist and settled down to the sordid life.
TALKS FOR AFRO. When interviewed at the city jail, Thomas stated that she was in Chicago, where he attended public school until the third grade in that city, when his parents moved to Baltimore, where he completed elementary school, then attended Colored High and Training school, which was then located on Saratoga street, between Charles and St. Paul streets. Thomas was unable to complete his education at that institution because of the death of his parents. He then secured employment at the Sonnenborn company, where he worked for eightheights of the heathier he did laboring work for the Nichols Nichols company. For the past three years he has been employed as a laborer by the George R. Morris contracting company, where he worked for eightheights of the heathier he did laboring work for the Nichols Nichols company. During the entire talk with the reporter, Thomas spoke in a soft tenor voice. Thomas is 44 year of age, five feet, eleven inches in height, and 13 feet in a convincing tone similar to that of a teacher during a lecture. He was dressed in a blue suit shirt which showed considerable wear, and a colored shirt with a rumpled black

Wife Tumbles from Witness Stand, Bears Dead Child
Premature Birth Halts Oklahoma's Most Sensational Million Dollar Divorce Case. Father Hadn't Wanted Children
MUSKOGEE, Okla. — Unable to stand two days of cross examination on the witness stand, pretty Mrs. Fay Louise Manuel, sued for divorce by her rich husband, Luther Manuel, Creek Freedman, tumbled unconscious to the floor in the court room of Judge Vernon, last week.
The wife was rushed from the court room and a premature girl baby was born dead the next morning.
Although the court room had been jammed for a week by hundreds of women on assault through several states, the sensational moment of the married life of the rich people, the divorce action has been indefinitely postponed.
Manuel was married two years ago in Chicago, after a courtship that extended through several states. An adult woman she smothered her with gifts of jewelry, flowers, candy and highballs.
He proposed to her at a party given by Col Ols F. B. Duncan, of the Eighth Illinois National Guard, at the Regimental Army in Chicago.
In her petition fighting the divorce, the custody of the child she thought would live and the estate estimated by her to be worth $1,000,000. Mrs. Manuel declared that her husband is extremely cruel and a habitual drunkard.
When drunk, he often, at a dance, compelled the guests to dance around him.
New Years or Christmas, one day later, another, his wife testified that her husband was drunk. Soher, he cried, and promised to do better.

When told that she was soon to bear him a child, he decried that she was too loud to be heard and threw the loud speaker of the radio at her. Manuel, she said, "had refused to permit her to entertain her bridge club at the house because he claimed he had kept love trysts with every man." On one occasion, Mrs. Manuel testified, her husband, with shotgun in hand, had chased her into the street in her right-gown. Edna Moore, testified that on one occasion she had seen her son-in-law "beat the stuffs out of Mrs. Manuel."

H. U. President Named to Lead National Teachers Association
JACKSON. Tenn.—(A.N.P.)—Mordreal W. Johnson, president of Howard university, was elected president of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools, by acclamation here, Friday at the closing session of the annual convention.
Twenty states were represented.
The teachers were urged to endeavor to inspire hope in the hearts of teachers and students, and to spirit of ambition to achieve in them. This was the key-note sounded by Dr. John W. Davis, the retiring president, and ran throughout the whole convention.
The result of Mississippi cropped out at the Thursday night session when Dr. Thomas Jones, president of Fisk university, spoke and referred to his experiences with Negroes, Chlammen and southern whites. Some of his statements and the discussions thereafter, and to show that disagreement, left the convention hall.
That the association is going forward was indicated in every report, but there was much to the organization by Dr. S. G. Akins, of North Carolina, and S. P. Nelson of Arkansas.
The reading of the financial report showed $11,000 had been collected during the year and a deficit of $2,500.
The next meeting of the association will be held at Petersburg, Va.

UNITS IN PARADE
Wilcox Wants Suggestions He Tells AFRO.
All efforts to find out just what part the race group will take in the coming two hundredth anniversary of Baltimore, were unavailing this week.
Joseph P. Evans, member of the executive committee and said to represent the group on that body, refused to make a statement when asked about the event this week. Mr. Evans declared that he had no statement to make, but would do so later.
Clement B. Wilcox, however, told the AFRO-AMERICAN that his committee would welcome any suggestions looking to the partisan members of the group in the anniversary.
Wants Suggestions
"The committee," he said, "has not considered Baltimore as being made up of various racial, religious or political groups, but all citizens as being Baltimoreers and that each one will, either in his private or public capacity, give his vote to the people of the world may know that we are a unilin in our city pride for Baltimore."
Units in Parade
Except for units to be prepared by organizations, lodges or individual floats in the parade, no definite annual group's participation in the large program of activities which will include historical and artistic displays, multicultural gatherings and other festivities. Walter S. Emerson, city councilman, an effort to ascertain what steps are being taken to include the group, Councilman McGuinn, it is under consideration that there is proper participation.
Is Big Affair
Leaders declare that since it will be a hundred years before another centennial occurs, and adequate representation and their part in the making of the city should be displayed and preserved. They are of the opinion that a parade of the title impression on the civic attitude of the young, but that there should be a comprehensive organization comprising what leadership we have in history, art, business and education, to work out the part group will take in the celebration. Inquiry at the office of Director Wood, Thursday morning, revealed that the group was communicated with that office as to the part the educational machinery was to take in the celebratory Inquiry also at the office of the group was held. He requested that to date no detailed participation had been arranged for the colored group. J. Albert Cassidy, white, has charge of the fraternal group. Those organizations planning to enter the should set in touch with him at the fraternal headquarters in the City Hall.

CHARGES UNANSWERED
No Reference Made to Stuffed Ballots and High Salaries.
WASHINGTON. (CNS) Thomas J. Faulkner, an American-born naturalized Liberian; who was an unsuccessful candidate for the Liberian presidency against President King, recently re-elected, gave out a sensational interview exclusively to the AFROAMERICAN, in which he claimed that "traffic in forced labor, amounting virtually to slavery, existed in Liberia."
The matter was brought to the attention of the United States authorities and an official statement, denying the charges of Faulkner has been made by Edwin J Barclay, secretary of state of the Republic, and submitted to the State Department by Ernest Lyon, Liberian Consul-General at Baltimore and chief diplomatic representative in the United
Secretary Barclay's statement said the Liberian government was appointing an international commission to establish conditions alleged by Faulkner to exist in the Republic. The Firestone Rubber Company of Ohio, at present is developing large quantities of rubber, public and is employing native labor.
Forced Labor
Mr. Faulkner in his statement given in the AFRO alleged that President King forced natives to work on roads and railroads, and that he personally received $15 for each native worker exported to the Spanish island of Fernando Po.
Cabinet Involved
Vice-President .*Men C. Yancey and Postmaster General Samuel Ross, shipping agents, exported $15 each for every laborer exported from certain districts. Secretary of State Barclay and Secretary of Public Works John L. Morris, he said; received $250 for each laborer shipped. Secretary of State Barclay exported of labor and flight of Liberian chiefs across the border to escape levies of their tribesmen. Mr. Faulkner deprived the country is becoming depopulated.

Memorandum Filed
Faulkner is at present in the United States. He has filed with Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson a memorandum asking him to commit the settlement of his claim of election to the Liberian presidency. Faulkner charges that King is illegally holding office and that he himself was elected president of the country. He has also have the courts of Liberia to pass on the question, but the Supreme Court that republic held that it was a political question and it had no jurisdiction. It is not believed that the State Department will take any action in the matter.

There is paper bag and sting; there is the price of delivery; and there is courtesy and service.
One other thing you are entitled to because you pay for it. You are entitled to a job with an employer where you spend your money.
Ask for it.

If you don't get it, quit dealing with it.
All stores must hire helpers and clerks. Why not you?
If you are good enough to spend, you ought to be good enough to earn.
Deducting the cost of wrapping, service, delivery, the sugar you get in each pound bag is probably worth three cents.
If you buy a pound for it and carry it away in your pocket, you are being robbed of three cents.
Look for service courtesy and delivery. But be sure the money you spend makes it possible for you to earn more.
Unless you can get a job in the store where you buy, you are being robbed. Think about that before you are jobless and hungry.

U.S.A. Delegates Want Head quarters Back Here.
KINGSTON, Jamaica. (CNS)—Led by Marcus Garvey wearing a navy uniform, 12,000 delegates and members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association attending the sixth convention, marched through the streets in a colorful parade here last week.
Garvey, who wore the navy uniform in memory of the ill-fated Black Star Line, was followed by a line of Black Cross nurses, boy scouts, girl guides and Jamacans.
Murmurs Hear
For the first time in the history of the organization, an organized opposition has developed against the policies of Marcus Garvey and today saw the crystallization of that opposition as a powerful group which intends to fight to the finish the police Garvey of removing the headquarters of the organization from New York to Jamaica in the effort to keep the organization under his personal control. The delegates opposed to this policy are mainly from New York, Chicago, and the South.
Appeal to League
It is understood that one of the outstanding acts of the convention will be draft an appeal to the League of Nations asking that tribunal to liberate Africa from the imperialism of foreign countries and set the various national uprisings as environments.
A delegation from the American Negro Labor Congress caused commotion when it issued a bill, which it scored Garveyism by pointing out that, instead of fighting imperialism its program was, in fact, to set up another country to govern the world and let the whites continue to exploit other colored races.

"It seems to be the practice to put colored people on the seats back. This holds good whether traveling from north to south or from south to north."
Mr. James O. Williams, 1727 13th street, Washington, who made the original busines bushes, hold the AFRO that the company's statement of no discrimination is incorrect. He said: "On July 20 my first wife, I was the fourth persons to buy tickets we were given seats 29 and 30 or the last row in the upper deck in a corner after seats in front of us. The other persons also went to Baltimore. I wonder how the company can explain my being asked to take a back row seat when there were others besides the two front seats. In other words. I must pay money and sit in a dirty, uncomfortable and sunny seat while other persons of white compulsion get seats well maintained."
"The abrupt manner in which the driver addressed me and the embarrassment of the wife I was in front of me I been alone or with another fellow it wouldn't have been so bad, for I would have ridden in the seats I wished to, but I was with a hady.

Perry Howard Won't Talk About Resignation Rumor.
WASHINGTON, D. C. — The Republican National Committee in its meeting at 10 a.m. September 9, at the Willard Hotel, to select a chairman will also confess to itself behind closed doors that it has lost the foreign vote.
Friendship to the Ku Klux, the anti-Catholic and dry campaigns have been forced over to the Democratic camp.
The committee when it meets next month will attempt to discover what is to be done about it. The committee will calm its attention is continued independence of the Negro agents.
Continued depletion of the foreigner; the bolt of the Negro and the Democratic party, all of which imminent, threaten to give the national committeeman a good deal to think about during the summer. Mr. Worthington Scranton, white of Scranton, Pa. will most likely take the place of Wm. Herb, white of Charleston, S.C. and the committee made vacant by the resignation of Ben Davis, of Georgia, will be filled, the state delegation having failed to agree upon the nomination. In case this vacancy is given to a white man it will leave Perry Howard as the Lone Negro committeeman. He expects that "some party leaders expect Mr. Howard to tender his resignation at this meeting" may be true, but the gentleman himself gives some assurance that "some party leaders are likely to be disappointed. In addition to Mr. Howard the race has two national committeemen, Mr. Worthington and his sons of Mrs. Williams, of Georgia and Mrs. Booze, of Mississippi.

SECRETARY HERE
Morris Lewis Says DePriest Is to Continue His Campaign.
Oscar DePriest, member of Congress from the First Illinois District, in his campaign to have people study the Constitution, has exhausted his first supply of 10,000 copies, according to his secretary, Morris Lewis.
Mr. Lewis, accompanied by Alonzo J. Harris, chief in the office of the Register of the Treasury, and Virgil H. Franklin, of the Victory Realty Company, were in the city this week from Washington.
So great has been the demand for the Constitution. Mr. Lewis said that a second supply of 10,000 has been obtained with the help of Mr. DePriest is to speak in St. Louis. Wheeling, W. Va., and Cleveland within the next ten days. Mr Lewis said with enthusiasm he speaks campaign throughout the city, including the south.
The congressman, he declared, had noticed criticism of his speaking engagement in only three race papers including in the World Press, the Chicago World, and the Indianapolis Recorder. The almost unanimous voice of the press, Mr. LeVine, seems to be the voice of the campaign the congressman is making.
No Conspiracy of Silence
Mr. Lewis declared Mr. DePriest had received word from Alonzo Parham, cadet appointed by him at West Point. Parham, he said, reported satisfactory progress in his work and denied there was any conspiracy of silence as reported in the daily Parham. He said, with proper courtesy whether at work or at play. Mr. Lewis also denied the daily press statements that the congressman had at one time a white secretary. "Mr. DePriest never had a white secretary," he said. "and Joseph Johnson, who was connected with the congressman, office, is no longer an employee."

Need Not Expect Fees for All Public Work, Says D. C. Municipal Judge.
LEADERS SHOULD LEAD
Only One in Every 100,000 of Population.
DETROIT, (CNS.)—That lawyers should regard it as a part of their duty to take up the burden of race leadership in their communities was urged by Judge James Cobb, of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia, speaking before the National Bar Association here last week.
"It may be true," said Judge Cobb, "that there will be no pecuniary compartment of public revenue. It so that the public can be legislature or appearing before a commission to prevent discrimination in public conveyances, or an unjust apportionment of public revenue. It so that the public can be legislature or appearing before the other 99 should share the burden as well as you, but the price of leadership in any field is initiative, industry, and consecration.
"That the people come only about one in every hundred thousand, so that he who would aspire to leadership must step forward to the head of the column. And by the law, he is marked out, as a leader."
"It is the duty of the conscientious Negro lawyer to appear before these excuses and interpret the gestures, the ideals and the rights of the Negro race."
Social Engineer
In calling attention to the lawyer's duty in bringing the country to the place where it will live up to the law, the lawyer makes all citizens equal under the laws of the land, the speaker declared that "In a large way the lawyer is a social engineer engaged in guidance which play and interplay in civilized society. The organization and conduct of business are predicated on lawyer's services." The "machinery of the government functioned through the efforts of lawyers in positions of control." The adjustment of the individual to the other individuals of society rests for its ultimate interpretation upon the advice and direction of lawyers. The incidence is the study of law in action.
"The law lives and has a definite social life. It is that living body of rules standard and simple, which is governed and action. Consequently one great opportunity of the Negro lawyer to make a distinct contribution to jurisprudence is to steer the Negro group in action, violence, and oppression. This would help in the implementation in all phases of life and avoiding all the oit-falls of hatred, violence, and oppression. This would be racial service. It would point the way for orderly progress for all minor groups to secure the full protection of the law of the land. It would be welcomed to the city by Acting Mayor John C. Nagle, comprised a representative group of lawyers from all sections of the country, including Judge Albert George of the Municipal Court of Chicago. Among other speakers were the regional directors: Jesse Heslip, of Ohio; T. L. Amasa Knox, of Kanada; J. R. C. Crawford, of New York City; Macon Huggins, of Chicago, Ill. and Hon. George H. Woodson founder of the organization; Judge William Hueston, of Gary, Indiana; C. W. Kearns, of Kearns City; Mo. and Herman E. Moore of Chicago.

HUNTS GUN IN POLICE STATION
WASHINGTON—John Brown walked into the Fourth police precinct last Tuesday night and received an oak of a gun. When asked by Policeman J. Auffenburg what he wanted a gun for, Brown replied: "To shoot a man who stabbed me." The policeman said he assured Brown that he was in the wrong place to borrow a gun, but the right place to sleep in. The police said he booked Brown as being drunk and locked him in a cell. Brown denied the policeman's story, but Judge Ralph Given the guilty and assessed a fine of $10.

WASHINGTON, D. C., (GNS.) — During the past five years Negro medical students have enrolled in thirty Medical Schools, among which are the finest in the United States and Canada.
Of the 2,644 Negro students who have been enrolled, 586 have received medical degrees, 475 of whom were graduated from the medical colleges at Howard University and Meharry and 111 graduated from other medical schools in the United States and Canada.
2183 at Howard-Meharry
During this period 2103 students were enrolled at Howard University and Meharry and 451 students enrolled in the other schools, making an average during the period men-
students enrolled each year of whom 117 graduated.
Since 1926 the enrollment in white medical colleges has decreased almost 30 per cent. This is accounted for partly by the increased training programs offered in the medical training both Howard and Meharry, but is partly due to the reluctance with which colored students are received in medical institutions offering medical training.
The Thirty Schools
Negro medical students have been graduated from the following medical colleges during the past five years:
Harvard University, 255; Meharyan Medical College, 220; Boston University, 3; Chicago Medical College, 10; College of Medical Evangellists, 1; Columbia University, 1; Harvard University, 5; Indiana University, 4; Michigan University, 1; Loyola University, 1; Northwestern University, 11; Ohio State, 5; Rush Medical College, 15; Syracuse University, 1; Temple, 6; Tufts, 3; University of California, 2; University of Michigan, 9; University of Vermont, 1; Women's Medical College of Pennsylvania, 3; Western Reserve, 1; Dalhousie University, 5; McGill University, 1; University of Montreal, 1; University of Toronto, 3.
"Second. Failure of banks. One hundred Negro banks have failed and an equal number have perished during the last sixty years, carrying with them into their untimely graves the briny-sweat-earned dollars of the country." "Buried with these institutions were some things even more precious than money-FAITH and hope. Nine of these banks perished in Mississippi."
WHITE BANKS.
"Third—Failure of white banks.
"More than two hundred of these failures have recently since. One in three there is all the rest of the South. Buried beneath these bank sepulchres are large aggregate savings, a child-like faith and the high hopes of Negro people.
"COURTS AND EDUCATION.
"Fourth. The failure of courts and education. No reliable person denies that there is injustice. Many white people not only admit, but are vigorously at work trying to remedy the situation.
"But gross injustice still exists. Negroes do not even expect justice at court when a white citizen is involved, and so nine cases in ten sunders are going to be tried and that save lawyer fees and perhaps severe beating.
"Fifth. A State like Georgia spends more than ten times as much money as upon a Negro child. White children are driven in big buses to beautiful consolidated schools. These children often pass colored children walking three to four miles in the
"But worse still, these colored children often must sit in cold, damp school houses all day. Here and there they are prized by that genuine Christian and humanitarian, Julius Rosenwald. "Sadder still is the poorly educated, poorly paid teacher. Often she can barely speak English. English, still further out in the Mississippi Delta some have been found not quite sure of the multiplication table. "Teachers who are paid $18 to $20 a month Californi County. Miss. probably more harm to children than good.
THE MOB.
"Then comes the mob. The three thousand, Negroes. We have six thousand, who have been lynched by a mob of one two or three, who have all been innocent-hurried."
"There has been no recourse. The lawyers are helpless, the courts inactive, some of the brave shelters, some of the prisoners, their prisoners, but they are 'overpowered'; if the state militia when called out does not actually help to hunt and lynch Negroes, the record seldom changes; some of the prisoners have neither time nor money to investigate a mob of more than two thousand; the church has gone fishing or is busy in the church or the Brew brew children in a furnery. We take it that this is the same sort of fire with which Negro children are burned in Mississippi, but Jewish children are some of the things which beyond doubt, have discouraged millions of Negroes in the South. Some have a mighty exodus; others have fought and died; and still others are standing, discouraged.

"But plainly there is on organization guilty above all others. It is the only organization with the purpose of preaching peace and goodwill, love and justice, fatherhood and brotherhood."

Not only has his relation to the colored members of the committee always been cordial, it is said, but he expressed himself in support for the men who constituted the Colored Voters' Division during the recent campaign.

WASHINGTON, D. C. (CNS.)—Approximately 100,000 census enumerators will be appointed throughout the country to take the Fiftieth Census next April. Those appointed will be all outlived by service, and for them a special examination will be given as prescribed by the director of the census. Their thousands of service veterans, with their wives and widows, are expected to take advantage of the ruling of William M. Stetau, director of the Census Bureau, which gives them the choice in the selection of the enumerators. Director Stetau's decision was contained in a letter mailed to Representative Louis Ludlow, who is seeking the manner of selecting census enumerators. The reply construes the census act to mean that Congress intended that veterans should have the preference. One in each Subdivision
"You know and I believe every member of Congress knows, that at least one enumerator will be required in every political subdivision to attend agriculture and enumerate the population and possibly to gather other information required for the census. These persons will not be required in an examination, but they will take an examination that I will prescribe for them.
"The bureau is now actively engaged in the force of supersession who will be required for the census. This organization should be completed during the early fall, and it is the intention to up them by the number of appointments to veterans, their wives and widows, but it must be distinctly understood that all persons these appointments are demonstrable to ability to do the work that they must not take the job unless it is their intention to see through; also that they are capable of equal those of other militants."
Mr. Stewart has also announced that a correspondence school to train government workers for taking the 1930 decennial census of population is planned by the Department of Commerce.
The correspondence school will thoroughly familiarize the teachers and enumerators with instructions, rules and regulations for taking the census.

D.C. MINISTER IS JIM-CROWED AT FLAG VESPERS
The Rev. Walter H. Brooks
Tears Tickets to Shreds
When Offered Back Seat.
Had Received Invitation and Numbered Tickets.
WASHINGTON. (CNS)
—Told that seats for which he held numbered tickets at the Vesper Flag services on the steps of the Capitol were for white folk, the Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of Nineteenth St. Baptist church, tore them into shreds and threw them at the feet of ushers here last week.
A number of others, refused seats to which their tickets entitled them, resented the insult by leaving the wace.
"Further Back"
The Rev. Mr. Brooks, who held tickets Nos. 337 and 338, which had been sent him with an invitation to attend the affair, told the designated seats were for whites and that he would have to go "further back." The invitations were issued by the executive committee of the National Association of the Harmony which now exists in America between North and the South The program reads: "Sitting side by side one wearing the same shirt, the other Gray, — once foes, now friends, — will be a hundred or more members of the Grand Army of the Republic and of the United Veterans of the Confederacy, symbolizing the great Countryside of the North and South." The Union forever."
Church Protests
Incedent over the insult offered their pastor, the officers and congregation of the church drafted a letter to be sent to the flag association with read it, and the congregation of the church ever shot holes in Old Glory, and he does not have to be dubbed once a foe, and a friend. No Negro ever acted the part of a Benedict Arnold when country was struggling when freedom from British misrule. "The means at the disposal of the United States Flax Association are of sufficient magnitude to ascertain the hue of the invited guest. The congregation of Nineteenth Street Baptist Church has worshipped on the corner of Nineteenth and Fourteenth streets, honored and esteemed pastor, Dr Walter H. Brooks, has been at its head for forty-four years, and is nationally and internationally known. Nothing but the most egregious error could have been made, if the congregation and its pastor, could have been taken for other than citizen. On the other hand if the racial status of the church was known, and

EPISCOPAL BISHOPS "UPON RACIAL LINES"
EPISCOPAL BISHOPS "UPON RACIAL LINES"
Dr. Bragg Objects to Amendment Which Would Draw Color Line.
DEFEATED AT ST. LOUIS
Want Fatherhood of God Principle Preserved.
Although he favors missionary districts with Negro bishops, the establishment of these districts upon racial lines is not necessary, declared the Rev. George F. Bragg, Jr., pastor of St. James P.E. Church, in a statement this week.
The Southern P.E. bishops' meeting in Atlanta last spring recommended to the General Assembly to amend providing that "the House of Bishops may establish Missionary districts upon racial lines" the object be to provide missionary districts with Negro bishops, and to be legislative sanction to segregation and is not necessary.
Proposes Amendment
"I propose an amendment," says Dr. Bragg, "which says absolutely nothing of race or color, and under it the identical thing can be accomplished." The first part of Section I. Article Six of the Constitution, reads thus: "The House of Bishops may establish Missionary Districts in States and Territories, not organized into dioceses." "Now, I propose to add just here, the following: 'And it may still further establish Inter-Dioceses Districts of the same kind of rigorous dioceses, upon the request of the Dioceses concerned, embracing such congregations only that are not in union with any diocese Convention. Such a congregation must sustain the same status as other Missionary Districts."
Was Defeated
"At the St. Louis General Convention in 1916, when the racial plan was enacted, we contented more other things said: It is no part of her divine mission to . . . deliberate: write into her organic law a principle of division of the earth, and the truth that God hath made of one blood all nations of men and that "in Christ Jesus there is neither Jew nor Gentile, nor did not for a race but for humanity, and in His Church national ideals and national destiny must always be subordinate to the larger claims of God and of the family of God as a whole.
No Distinction
"Many years ago, the great Phillips Brooks, speaking in General Conference on this same subject, said: 'It is not simply a historical fact upon which we may rest, but that there should be a clear statement of the principle that in this branch of the Church of Christ, as in our distinction whatever, whatsoever, or wheresoever of race or color, and therefore as a distinct and necessary consequence of that, the principle is nothing if it is not a declaration, that legislation of whatever kind, in whatever place, that is based on race or contrary to the spirit of Christ."
Closer Touch
"The amendment which I propose, without drawing the color-line, provides a way to link up congregations of our group, now in ecclesiastical exile, with the National Church, Negro priests, most likely, will be selected and empowered because they will be in the closest sympathetic touch with the people for whose benefit the agency is called into existence."

RACE MINISTRY 134 YEARS OLD TUESDAY
RACE MINISTRY 134 YEARS OLD TUESDAY
First Ordination Took Place in Year 1795 in Philadelphia.
JIM-CROW THE CAUSE
M. E. Revolters Became Self Supporting P. E. Church.
By GEORGE F. BRAGG
Tuesday, August 6, 1929, was the 134th anniversary of the first ordination to the ministry of the historic Church, of a Negro, in this country. The day on which he was ordained is peculiarly suggestive. It was on the "Beast of the Transfiguration."
This man, Absalon Jones, was not only the father of the Negro ministry, but also the father of the organization, which is significant that upon the part of the race, was a beneficial and civic society, "the Free African Society," which quickly evolved into a Negro Church, styled "The Elders and Deacons of the African Church" "Uni-Grow treatment" was the urge which brought to birth this effort. A company of Negro Methodists, who had just recently received "emancipation" and who were wont to attend the white Church, felt so the un-Christian treatment accorded them, that left that building never to return.
They raised money and erected the first African Church in America, in the city of Philadelphia, where they came to conclude that it was unwise to remain un-connected with any Christian body. So they held a meeting to determine with what body they should be affiliated. They met with the first African church to collect the members of the African race. Almost unanimously, these Negro Methodists decided to unite with the Protestant Episcopal Church; but, on certain conditions which were to be received as an organized body. Second, they were to be given the assurance of the control of their own local affairs, forever. And, lastly, one of their number should be appointed a Reader, fitted to ordained as their regular pastor.
They won out on the conditions they had laid down, and the next year, by a special order, the diocese, Absalom Jones was ordained to the ministry. It should ever be remembered that these people of the African race did not go to the Episcopal Church as men, but as women, men, although just emerging out of slavery. They not only went into the Episcopal Church, but they carried with them their own church building, and gave forth to the authorities a pledge that they would finance churches, and maintain their own minister. One hundred thirty-four years have passed by, and lo, a multitude of churches, ministers and various organizations, which no man can number.

Party Heads Plan to Make Nation Wide Campaign of Organization.
RAINEY CALLED
Al Smith Leader Confers With Chieftains in N. Y.
BOSTON. (ANP)—That the Democratic party intends to put up a fight to gain Negro votes throughout the country was indicated here recently when Julian D. Rainey, attorney, national organizer and titular head of Negro democratic forces in the last campaign, was called to New York to confer with party chieftains.
While Mr. Rainey was silent on the matters discussed in the meeting of the "higher ups" and the exact purpose of his trip, it is said that a nation-wide campaign of organization would be launched and the National organizer would tour the country for the purpose of cementing the advantages already gained among Negroes.
At Pow Wow
Further significance is laid to the fact that when a great Democratic pow wow banquet, was held here at the Statler Hotel and Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York, a possible presidential candidate in 1932, was guest of honor, party leaders made great efforts to see that representative Negroes be present.
Those Present
Among those present at this banquet were: Dr. Silas F. Shag) Taylor, Negro State chairman; Dr. William Worthy, secretary; William Monroe Trotter; James Wolfe, attorney; Dr. Andrew Latimore, Dr. Walter O. Taylor, and others.
Previous to this love feast, another banquet was held at the Railway club Negroes from all parts of the state were present. Former Mayor James M. Curley was the chief speaker. He told of his record of appointments ofNegroes high City offices in face of protests on the part of both white Democrats and Republicans, and the failure of Negroes to support him for the office.
13th Ward
State Senator and City Councilor Michael J. Ward of the 13th Ward, which is over 2 to 1 Democratic, although the bulk of Negro voters of the State live in this ward, has repeatedly emphasized that he as Democratic "boss" of the world, would throw his entire machine back of any Negro in the ward who desires any elective office.
Ministers Honor School's First Head
PRINCESS ANNE, Md. — A group of ministers serving on the faculty of the School for Ministerial Training at Princess Anne Academy, led by the Rev. W. C. Jason, of the Delaware Conference, marched in a body to the graves of Prof. and Mrs. B. O. Bird and Mrs. Mary R. Kiah and held memorial services last Wednesday.
Prof. Bird was the first principal of the academy and after his death in 1897 Mrs. Bird served for two years as principal. Mrs. Mary R. Kiah was the first wife of Dr. Kiah, present principal. She was quite active in educational work. Brief gallops were delivered at the graves by Reverends W. C. Jason, H. T. Fletcher, J. C. Carroll, F. J. Handy and C. Y. Trigg. Other ministers taking part in the services were Reverends E. E. Parker, E. A. Love and M. Thompson, district superintendent.

"BORROWED" CORPSE TO MAKE TEST
Body of Woman Taken by Embalming Student and Accomplice in Ohio Town.
THREE ARE HELD
Trio Face Prison Terms for Trafficking in Corpse.
COLUMBUS, Ohio.-For loaning the corpse of a woman to John E. Huber, white medical student, Ralph Turner, embalming student, and Wegg Jackson, alleged accomplice, face fines and prison terms here this week.
Both the white man and the race youth are Ohio State University students and have been said on a charge of trafficking in the corpse. The corpse has been returned to its slab in the morgue of the University.
To Make Test
Huber, it is said, wanted the corpse to make experiments with a patent medicine he had invented, and young Turner, because of his access to the morgue, agreed to supply it. The body was delivered to Huber's residence.
For the illegal possession of the corpse Huber faces a $100 fine and a six months sentence. For loaning it, the youth may get up to two years.

Operate Canning Factory
MIAMI, Fla. (ANP) - Twenty miles out from here at Goulds is located a canning factory owned and operated by the company. The paucity of 6,000 cans day. It makes a specialty of preservation of fruit which is supplied by a 1200-acre farm.
NEW YORK. — First news of the Platte, Nebraska race riot in which hundreds of colored people were driven from their homes was brought to H. J. Pinkett and the Omaha branch N.A.A.C.P. by a Pullman porter, member of the Porters' Brotherhood, it was announced this week.
This early information enabled N.A.A.C.P. delegation from Lincoln and the governor's office the Saturday night of the fight, and call at the executive 1 anson, Monday.
The prompt action of the Omaha and Lincoln branches of the N.A.A.C.P. resulted in the gathering of evidence through special investigators sent to North Platte by the Omaha Branch and in the protection of the lives and property of those Negroes who were run out, of the city. Pillage by the mob action of the officers from whom the Negroes were buying furniture on the installment plan who rushed in to seize the furniture were checked by the action of the N.A.A.C.P.
Doubt Suicide
There is some question in the minds of the colored people of Nebraska as to whether or not Louis Seeman, who is alleged to have committed suicide after killing a policeman, which act led to the rioting, really committed suicide. There is the suspicion that this man was murdered by the mob. More evidence to avoid liability under the anti-mob law which was passed by the 1927 Nebraska Leitlature. Rumors to this effect are being traced to their source to see if there is any foundation in fact for them.
The National Office of the N.A.A.A. C.P. is following closely all developments and is prepared to render aid to its Nebraska branches who are cooperating with Attorney-General Sorenson to the end that the rioters may be convicted and sentenced to prison.
U. S. Dollars Carry Prejudice Abroad
Chicago Editor Says Even France is Afflicted
PARIS, (ANP.) — American dollars are warping the attitude of France toward Negroes, according to a statement issued here Tuesday by Robert S Abbott, of Chicago, who with Mrs. Abbott is touring Europe. The statement, which was published in the Paris edition of the New York Herald Tribune, was in part as follows.
"I am afraid that even the European liberality of spirit toward the Negro is to be affected by American money, which is the money which are greatly frequented by Americans They cater to the American taste in color just as to the American taste in food. I have seen Negroes barred in certain of these cafes recently — a thing which would have have been the war when Europe was sufficiently independent of America financially to insist upon her century-old liberality of feeling."

TWO HUSBANDS COMPLICATE DIVORCE BILL
Much Married Wife in Court to Free Herself from Two Mates.
ESCAPES BIGAMY
Then Files Suit Against No. 1, Charging Cruelty.
One of the most complicated marital skeins ever known here is being unraveled in Circuit Court as a result of the divorce proceedings of Mrs. Lillian F. Brooks-Alney-Brown, which started on its second day with the filing of a divorce suit against her first husband, Charles Alney, immediately after obtaining a decree of nullity from her second husband, George Brown, this week.
The predicament of the much married wife was discovered several weeks ago after she had filed divorce proceedings against her second husband and when court clerks, digging down in the dusty files of the Court Court, found that she had obtained a bill of separation only from Alney, and was, in fact, still his wife, instead of Brown's, whom she was seeking to divorce.
Faced Bigamy Charge
The discovery, which fell like a thunderbolt and which almost caused the wife's arrest on a charge of bigamy, caused her lawyer to file the decree of nullity in the case of husband No. 2, and start directly out for an absolute divorce from husband No. 1.
In her statement to the court, Mrs. Alney declared that, when some time ago she obtained the separation decree from husband No. 1, she understood that she was being divorced. But since a second divorce proceeding was never instituted, she was told that she was still the wife of Alney, and had no right to marry Brown.
Married in 1908
As Miss Lillian Brooks, she was married to Charles Alney on September 15, 1908, and the couple lived together until November 5, 1918. At this time, she says, she was compelled to leave her husband on account of cruelty. She filed a divorce suit and was given a partial divorce with custody of their three children.
Married Again
Then on October 15, 1924, believing that by virtue of the fact that more than three years had elapsed since her partial divorce proceeded, she was a free woman, she married George Brown. This second romance came to an end by November 1, 1925, when she says he became so cruel that she had to leave him.
Extreme Cruelty
In setting forth some of the cruel acts of husband No. 2, she declared that in order to make her suffer agony, he would come home evenings and describe amorous escapades and love affairs with other women. On one occasion, she said, he threatened to kill her with his weapon and cut her up in the form of her clothing. On June 20, she gave this and other testimony of cruelty before a special examiner and was granted the decree of nullity. On Friday she filed a new absolute divorce petition against husband No. 1.

NEW YORK—Having to share a husband with a few more or less wives is not so bad, is the opinion of Miss Sibuslusle Makanya, Columbia University co-ed, who is studying biological social hygiene and educational methods to take back to Imbumbulu, Natal, her native land.
Miss Makanya declares that while her own father has but one wife, a number of her uncles have many, and that they are protected by laws of the tribe. Each wife has her own house, her own goats and personal property and is absolute boss there. She also has the say over her children.
The young Zulu student, described in an interview in the World, is a modern, dainty and amiable girl dressed in smart attire and through whose lace vest shimmer pink silk underclothes.
The Zulu are a happy and upright race, according to Miss Makanya. The girls are fond of adornment; they paint their lips and color their cheeks and lips with flowers to get the perfume. The men can be trusted to see them through a forest safely without thought of harm. The youth pick their own mates and courtship in Natial is the same as it is the world over, she says.
EAT SNAKES.
Admitting that Africans eat snakes the proud faced young student declared, "What of it? Do not Americans eat oysters? If we have found that snakes are good, do we have to wait until the white man puts his seal of approval upon them before we indulge?" Although embracing Christianity Miss Makanya did not have praise for what the white man brings along with Christianity and commerce. Proud descendants of slave servants are sometimes introduced to servants from women she says, but the Zulus are learning much from their contact with civilized groups and will take their place among the civilized nations of the world.

NEW ORLEANS PASTOR SUCCEEDS DR. OVER
Dr. E. W. White Accepts Pastorate of Providence Baptist Church Here.
WIFE BUSINESS WOMAN
Operates Chain of Beauty Shops in Crescent City.
NEW ORLEANS, La., (By Chisolm News Service.) — (Special)
—Dr. E. W. White, pastor for the past twelve years of Tulane Baptist, leading church here, announced at his services Sunday that he had accepted a call to the pastorage of the Providence Baptist Church, Baltimore, Md.
Consternation seized the congregation when he offered his resignation, effective October 2. With no dissension of any kind existent, the church and a year just closed with many big accomplishments, no one had any idea that the pastor was contemplating a change.
Born and reared in Texas, he taught in the public school that state law required college education, prior entering the ministry. After several years of successful pastorate, Dr. White resigned as moderator of the Mt. Zion Baptist Association and president of the Texas Foreign Mission Convention to accept the pastorate of Tulane University, after entrusting the membership of the church has increased 700 per cent, and the financial holdings of the church, 300 per cent.
As Bible instructor in the New Orleans Baptist Ministerial Conference, and in the State Sunday School and B.Y.P.U. Congress, he earned quite a reputation. Tulane Church is the only one to operate a large bus, costing $3,000, to transport aged members to the services, and over 100 children, otherwise inaccessible, to Sunday School each Sabbath. The bus also transports the famous shoestores and affairs, and during revivals an organ is placed in the bus and street services held in all parts of this large city.
An ardent advocate of building Negro business enterprises to give employment to the young people but with no time to develop business himself. Dr. White's wife, Mrs. Eva B. White, daughter of the late Rev. W. B. Ball, veteran of the Civil War and former president of Guadalupe Texan College, organized and owns the most successful enterprises in New Orleans, the Mme. White Beauty College, in addition to a manufacturing concern and a string of beauty parlor's. She is superintendent of the Tulane Sunday School and an active member of her husband. She will accompany her husband to Baltimore but will not move her manufacturing business to that city.
One Daughter
Dr. White has one daughter, Miss Gladys, an accomplished musician and organist for the University of Howard University. For several years she taught in the New Orleans public schools.

Business Dislikes the
Average College Man
‘The average college men do not male @—
best Insurance men, according to Mr. Samuel
W. Rutherford, general manager of the National
Benefit Life Insurance Company.
‘This company 1s’ one of the largest Negro
‘enterprises, Its operations extend into twenty-
eight states and it counts Sts employees by the
hundred. What Mr. Rutherford says, therefore,
carries the welght of large experience.
His inference 1s that the college graduate
with the degree of AB, or AM. or even PhD.
cannot compete with high school graduates in
‘writing insurance. .
‘Several months back these columns carried a
similar statement from Mr. Anthony Overton,
Chicago banker and manufacturer.
‘Mr. Kelly Miller, himself a product of the col-
Jege, in his last week's article, on this page, said:
"ave naturally look to the higher edu-
cation to produce leadership and wise
guidance for the masses. In all candor.
{t cannot be claimed that this expectation
has been fulfilled in the degree that was
once hoped and claimed. The leader-
sup of the race, in many important
ines, 4s still in the hands of forceful per-
sonaiities with energy, enterprise and
initiative, often, without a technical lib-
eral education.”
For a situation like this the college is as
‘much to blame as the college man, Tis course
of study 1s too general and impractical to be of
much service to the Iad who must go to work
as soon as he gets a diploma.
Colleges are still teaching the same Latin,
German, cajculus and English composition to
students’ whether they plan to teach, to plow,
to sell real estate or enter the ministry.
Colleges everywhere are eager to train boys,
the most of whom shun the ministry.
‘None of our colleges is able to train boys in
buying and selling: and the country’s lack of
men so trained {s its biggest problem.
‘Since the average college doesn’t train men
for business, the business must train its own
workers.
‘Nor is there any wonder that it prefers younger
men who are willing to serve as apprentices. to
college men who think themselves qualified to
step at once into the higher positions,
A.M.E. Mergers
Experience 1s @ dear school, but many of Us
will not learn in any other.
With five AME. schools closed this year,

plans to reduce by mergers the remaining four-
feen to ten In number.
‘Where public sentiment has been slow in pro-
viding educational facilities for colored children,
the Methodists and sister churches have per-
iow ‘@ service worthy of their Christian
cals.
‘The need ia.no longer so great. North Carona,
tor example, has twelve colored schools of igh:

state. The A.M.E. college in that state likely will
be poorly attended. Last year there were fewer

South Carolina has @ fifty per cent larger
Negro population than North Carolina, but only
five higher schools for Negroes, one of which is
supported by the state.

My Dear Mrs. Daniel:
T have your letter of July 16th. and I have read
st very carefully. I think J understand your view-
point and T recognize, of course, the merit of
Some of your observations. However. in the in-
ferest of the understanding between the races
‘which you seek there are one or two points I wish
to call to your attention,
‘tis necessary to indicate in the news whether
pertons mentioned are white or Negroes, Read-
ts need that information, and since, the large
majority of the population is white, and the large
majority of those mentioned in the news is white
ih would be foolish to designate the color of each
person, The practical thing is to designate Ne-
Erors es such when they are mentioned. The
fuestion then arises what form the designation
Shall take,
Used Word “Colored”
For many years it was a common practice to
use the word “colored.” Some time ago repre-
Sentations were made to us that members of your
race would prefer the word “Negro” used with
capital "N."" We have followed that practice. In
some instances 1 believe i may appear harsh,
‘For example, I agree with you that the use of
the word "Negress” after the name of the wife
of the member of Congress from Illinois was un~
Pleasant as ft appeared In print. IL was not de~
Higned to be so; it was simply the result. of the
rather too literal following of the rule which had
eon made at the request of members of your
race.
No Satisfactory Formula
I do not suppose that it 1s ever possible in s0
complex a elationship as that between the white
people in this country and the Negroes to work
but any formula which will be unvaryingly. sat-
fstactory, but Is the purpose of The Sun to do all
that is within its power to promote understanding
and good feeling, and to foster mutual courtesy.
‘JOHN W. OWENS, Editor.

August 1, 1929
Mr, John W. Owens, editor,
“The Sun,”
Baltimore, Maryland,
My Dear Mr. Owens:
Your letter of July 30th. just received. is en-
couraging but not convincing, Americans are
noted foF directness. We are ail Americans. Let
us get to the point. Did any Negroes ever suggest
to you that they preferred to have the prefix due
every adult woman omitted where Negro women
‘were concerned?» Hardly.
“Negro” Preferred
Again, apropos of the “complex relationship”
and of a “formula unvaryingly satisfactory,” it
fs quite true that the term “Negro,” capitalized,
is the term by which the great majority of! in-
telligent. Negroes prefer to be known. It ts also
true that the use of the term “Negress" is. gen-
erally objectionable, and as used repeatedly by
your paper. is offensively objectionable and wholly
immecescary. Is Jt so hatd to say. “Mrs. De-
Eres, wife of Ue Negro Congressman from Tk.
hols.” or "Mr, DePriest, the Negro Congressman
from iimols"? Ts it so necessary to “play up” to
provinelal presudice by such crude allusions as
‘Phe Sun" has been constantly making to these
and other Negroes?
T cannot think, for instance that “The Sun” did
not know that, the omission of the prefix in its
Teferences to the Negro women members of the
Tnlerraciel Commission was very pointed, or that
it was quite simple for purposes of “information”
to state that “the Negro members included Mrs.
AW and Mrs, B—, Mr. C— and Mr. D—.
She Doesn't Count
I went into a "general store” a year or so ago,
where some white prep-school boys were drinking
sodas and indulging in some “snappy talk.” One
dared another to an indecent exhibition, | The
second boy glanced at me and hesitated. ' “Oh.”
swaggered the first one, “she doesn’t count!" That
is what omitting the prefix from the names of
Negro, women means.” Tt means, "she doesn
count.”
T spoke quietly but sharply to the boys, and
they got up and slunk out of the store. But did
not blame them. I blamed the elders who year in
and year out, by precept and example, teach such
Boys’ thay Negro women “don’t count.”
Negro Women
“The pernicious policy of withholding the civili
ties ordinarily extended, from Negroes, and es-
peciaily from Negro women, invariably goes hand
in hand with a careless moral attitude of white
men toward ‘these women, with the usual
accompanying farce of laws, against in-
termarriage, in the interest, of “racial purity,”
which means to the Negro woman only one thing,
protection for the white man in his encroach-
rents over the race line. The conduct of the
‘white boys referred to'was only a beginning. Tt
will not take long for them to learn that ‘they
tan add indefinitely to their questionable conduct
‘with impunity, since the respect due other women
Tnust, be carefully withheld from Negro womnen
who “don't count.”
Por five years I have been watehing “The Sun"
do its bit, however unconsciously, toward this sort
of education, with ‘an occasional noble and right-
cous “favorable” editorial, which deceived no one,
vntess it was the editor, thrown in for good meas~
ure,
Protecting White Womanhood
By “mutual respect” as I used the term, T meant
just that, mutual and identical respect. ‘That one
group shall receive from the other group exactly
Ghat it gives that and no more. “And so ong
as this sort of “mutual respect” is withheld, i
going to mean mutual lack of respect, with its
Inevitable corollaries of aggression in lis various
forms from the Caucasian side, resentment from
the Negro side and constantly increasing, friction.
‘The plea of “nrotecting white womanhood” by the
use of such methods is a long-exploded bug-a-bo0,
Which no longer frightens so much as s mosquito
‘The only thing that ts being protected 1s white
conceit and white vanity, and all Negroes and
most white people are fully aware of this.
‘With Jesus Christ
1 repeat, if “The Sun” is sincere, its future
‘course is obvious, and as simple as obvious. ‘The
question is not “What do these Negroes want?”
Sut"Hew far along the road with Jesus Cnrist
are we prepared to go, without apology and with-
‘out quibbling?” ‘The “complexity” arises in the

while claiming to follow it,

Holstein's West Indian Parentage May be Issue.
CHICAGO, (ANP) — Declaring that a bank account of $49,000 when Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson took charge of the order, has dwindled to less than $1,000, Grand Treasurer James C. Martin, charged the administration with reckless spending in a prepared statement made here last week.
Mr. Martin made the report fro. the records in his office, pointing out that the money spent, but been properly paid on vouchers, but charging in many instances checks due had been ordered by the Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson, sent to his office in Washington rather than to the
"When Mr. Wilson was elected, said Mr. Marilyn, the financial condition, with bank balance and assets totaling $402,286.58. It is my opinion that the reckless expenditures of commissions and other small items have caused the shrinkage in the resources of the organization, coupled with the proximate committee committees created at the Grand Lodge by the grand exalted ruler, to ingrate himself in the favor of the committees, thus assembling his re-election.
Million and a Half
On the basis of 150,000 members, enrolled in the order, the annual income amounts to about $1,500,000 annually, said Secretary Martin. The Grand Lodge gets around $60,000 annually. Getting the mounting increased expenditures for the Grand Lodge the secretary said that in 1921, when the meeting was held in Boston, the expenditures were $2,982.84. The next year Mr. Wilson was appointed to the position $3,402.27. In 1925 he won $8,010.12 in Richmond and, in 1927, when the order met in New York they spent $2,403.93.

It is rumored among some of the delegates that the race issue will be resolved in Holskib. He at the Chicago convention, it will be remembered. J. Dalmas Steele was defeated, largely because of the election of a West Indian would not be best for the order. Grand Exalted Ruler J. Pinkley Wilson, however, has said his record and is willing to go up or down on his report.

Moton Tells Negro to Divide Vote
Race No Longer Thinks in Terms of Republican Party, He Says
TUSKEGEE, Ala. — Addressing the Sociology Club here recently, Dr. R. R. Moton, principal, declared the time has come for us to divide our voices.

"No country is democratic, fair or safe which denies to any group of citizenry such fundamental rights.
Principal Moton traced the political history of the Negro from the time of the enactment of the war against the Negro in post-World War II reconstruction governments in which Negroes participated, analyzed the forces which have and still militate against the Negro in post-World War II reconstruction governments the Negro will come into his full share of the government of the country.

‘With the new Vitaphone equipment recently installed at the Dunbar
theatre; with the Regent and Royal booking first runs, and the Carey.
Roosevelt and Lincoln offering good pictures and Vitaphone features, Bal-
timore is assured of plenty in the movie-lalkie line this season.
‘The Dunbar's new Vitaphone-Movietone equipment gives East Balti-
more the best that the silver screen offers, and the natural pride in this
well-appointed house will no doubt attract ‘any from every section of
e city.
If you get tired of the movies. however, you will find little theatrical
in Baltimore this winter, unless you like floor shows. We understand
that some of the cabaret prombiery are planning to take advantage of
the Jack of vaudeville offerings in the theatre and will sage more floor
shows. It is rumored that the elite will find the old Club Arabia the
swanky place this winter. .
‘AS for vaudeville, however, the canned. acts have about driven {t from
the smaller houses, so far as Baltimore is concerned. ‘There will be a
larger number of colored acts on the screen this year, especially sing-
ing, numbers and this will to some degree fill in the gaps left by the
fading out of vaudeville.
Last season saw an increasing hegira of the race musicals to down
town mixed houses. Perhaps if the managers of these houses had the
good judgment to take some of the sting of jim-crow out of their seat-
thg arrangements, they would reap a harvest; for there are thousands of
the -tired business men’s variety who are not quite satisfied with screen
= ‘They still yearn for the “life” elements in their evening amuse-
ments.
Chance for Little Theatre.
But if. the “talkies” are driving vaudeville and musical shows from
the stage, they are leaving a gap which can well be filled by the little
theatre ‘movement.
‘Last seacon, Baltimoreans showed that they could not only enjos
but grow enthusiastic over artistic performances, and they had some-
thing to enthuse over last season.
Tf plans in the minds of several young Baltimoreans materialize and
Professor Edmunds of Morgan College and his talented group of performers
have the backing which audiences gave last year, Baltimore may be fav-
ored_with regular performances of Tace-produced ' plays. =
‘Baltimore needs nothing just now more than she does a little thea-
ze, and that is saying tot, We have no race art movements to, give
that cultural tone without which a group loses its soul, We must not
‘only learn how to produce ood art, but we must learn to appreciate It.
1 the cultural tone of ‘colored. communities throughout the country
was atune to artistic appreciation, Roland Hayes. for instance, would not
have to play in jim-crow houses ‘and our best talent would not have to
mold itself to suit the tastes of white America.
Anyway, When the time comes this season, do your bit to encourage
the little theatre movement’ here.
Svirituals of Eva Jessye.
For the* most part our -spirituals have been so twisted by so-called
technical treatment. and warped by quick stops and humorous effects,
that they have become suited more for the vaudeville than the artistic
stage. ;
‘But this is not true of the arrangements of Eva Jessye, director of
the music in the forthcoming movietone production, “Hallelujah.” We
have not yet had an opportunity, to see what Miss Jessye has done in
“Hallelujah” and what Influence “direction” has had upon her work In|
the gigantic production, but if she has followed the reproduction of the
good old folk songs in ‘this play as well. as she has in “My Spirituals,”
the movie world is in for the kind pf thrill which Rose McLendon gave in
her “Porgy” sorrow wail. :
Away back in the orgamless churches of a decade ago, and in some
parts of the Southland today, you heard, and you miay hear, the real
thing. Now and then the evangelist used to come along with a ballad
designed to put punch into a revival, but these ballads were not splrituals
in the undiluted form." In those spirituals which vibrated through the
‘heart and soul—and were more a soothing cry than even a religious ex-
pression—there was feeling. It is thsi depth of understanding which
Miss Jessye (with what is, in my opinion. a most ertistic presentation of
the real old spirituals) has preserved fOr posterity in these wonderful

Baltimore
By PROFESSOR FUDGE
Speaking of Exciusiveness.
Speaking of things exclusive, to my
mind, the game of golf was always
exclusive. ;
In order to participate, one must
{first of all have his right assortment
Jot golf clubs. which, I understand,
least something like ten dollars an
inch, ‘Then you_must have some-
where to play, and a golf course
is expensive to lay out and expensive
ju keep up. ‘The matter of a caddy,
of course, is a small detail, but even
at that, they don't haul ‘that bag
around’ the green for nothing.
T concluded accordingly that gol
was exclusively for people with
money, but I find out today that 1
concluded wrong and that nothing is
exclusive, for movies have awakened
a host of chumps who dase anything
after they get the “low down” on
it,
‘This morning as I was crossing 2
smail street I noticed a boy about
eight years old, with a pair of dirty
rompers on and a sawed-off broom
stick in his hands, getting a dead
aim on a piece of brick that had
been beat down to the size of a gol
ball, ‘The hole was large and ‘he
succeeded in getting the ball in it
with 2 perfect drive. How are you
going to keep anything exclusive?
I’ve Done My Part.
Ira Aldridge, who lived back in
slavery days and was a Marylander
by birth, 1s, without doubt, the most
outstanding actor’ the race has ever
produced. Aldridge was the slave of
an actor, with ‘whom he traveled
and acted as valet, In the course ot
this close association, he developed
into an actor himself. One even
greater than his master.
His master. being an unusual sort
of man, encouraged him in this and
in due ‘time he Was given his liberty
and devoted his time to acting ex-
clusively, and himself employed
valet.
‘He traveled far and wide and nad
@ great repuration in Europe and
the Britist Isles. He played Shake-
spearean roles and was particularly
good in the role of Othello.
‘He was knighted by one monarch
and was loaded down with medals
and ribbons by others.
He lived to a ripe old age and died
of exhaustion, brought on by the
many medals'he wore,
‘A committee has ‘ately raised
some money to memoralize him in
the Shakespeare memorial theatre
in England. In looking down the list
of subscribers, I find only the names
of two Marylanders, to wit, Bishop
John Hurst and Professor Mason A.
Hawkins, who are to be congratu-
lated.
T was mentioning the fact to a
friend, that the bishop and the pro-
fessor’ were the only local men who
gave to this cause and asked this
friend of mine why he hadn't con-
tributed. to which he replied:
“T didn’t even know he was. dead.
In fact. I didn't know he had ever

‘not have contributed anything any-
how, because I feel that inasmuch as
we produced that fellow here in
Maryland. we ought to give the other
forty-seven states a chance to do
something for him."
Highland Beach, Md.
As far is known, Highland, Beach
(plus Venice Beach), ‘Md.. is the only
iowa in the United States where
over fifty colored people reside, where
there is not a Baptist church or
lan AME. Zion church or any kind
of a church. It is the only place in
Maryland where @ registered boot-
legger does not play his trade, which
accounts for the inhumanness of the
fababitants,
‘When you ask for bread, they give
you one of those sharp rocks ‘out,
cf the water and when you ask for
a drink they call the constable.
There are two hotels in town, the
Ritz Carlton and the Bellevue Strat-
ford and the City fathers are doing
their best to discourage both of
them by trying to bar outsiders. If
there is a chief of police he needs
to shine his star up and make us
know it. 6

THE ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION
DOES THIS EXPLAIN THE REAL MRS. HOOVER? THE CREEPING THING A Story of Gruesome and Haunting Mystery
THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY
an interesting snapshot of Mrs. Herbert Hoover, wife of the president of the United States.
America's First Lady — Mrs. Herbert Hoover is the adventurer. In all history of the White House there is no mention made of another who has had the variety of adventure which has befallen the loyal wife of the President of the United States. He has accepted its results without question and in her own charming, friendly, resourceful way.
For Mrs. Herbert Hoover to live in the White House is but another adventure, the care she has taken to find her ready and capable. A life rich in romance, in contacts with many people, under many flags, living and working happily regardless of physical surroundings, is not to be disturbed by the social customs of the White House, criticisms of diplomatic turmps.
In those days of California when Herbert Hoover was a senior in Lehigh University, Albo and Miss Lo Henry was a shy freeman, and the blue skies and the rolling foot hills, the whispering creeks of the campus stimulated their enthusiasm, enduring romance. Little did the son engineer see his road to fame through revolutions, wars and polls. The daughter did; the wife would to take her turn at a machine gun, assist in technical engineering problems, care for spinstered sons in desert and mountain areas, with the White House as a home.
From the companionable little boy of Whittier, Louis Henry went to Monterey, and then to San Jose and Stanford University. When her father's banking hours were over, the two used to turn amateur geologists and together—for sister and mother were then—he seen for the first time the sand and from tin plates—would swing down the road over the foothills and even up into the high Sierra to camp and fish. This was the frequent program for Lou Henry to study geology until he began vacation made it possible to leave the campus. At college she was the first of her sex to join the masculine class in her study of geology. It was with these musings that the teacher offered difficult on field days in helping the onsite of the class over rocky ledges, across ravines. When out on the hike, and a rail fence ahead, she met the teacher of the class to it she placed one hand on the too and with a gay spring vaunted it over it easily and without greater difficulty than stepping on a broken piece of glass. From that time on Lou Henry was "regular."
Such an incident is not important except as evidence of the independence and of resourcefulness always. First Lady of the White House. Of course, her love of the out-of-doors, formerly found its later expression in the Scout leadership, when she has called, "an adventure in camouflage." While Lori was completing her college, Herbert Hoover was out of action as a result of her efforts to establish himself in his chosen branch of mining engineering. When she left for Australia, he and the girl she engaged together were tacitly enraged by her decision the chance to go to China under the Chinese government's demands of mines and railways, she came to the program to Monteverde, California, where she worked at home. Her role went white-hat to him and soon she was sent a ocean to get the girl who mutual friends declared "was made for him."
In China an adventure claimed them in China, at their arrival was follow-up to a trouble, which had lonely to shortly be brewed, sent Mrs. Hoover, with checks fivine home on her bourne body to save her home from her bourne body was this same home when she later went to Hoover were in Tientsin when the violent revolution overtook them. The slogan was "death to the
foreign devil," and the great pow-
nationalists. There was need of self-
siders had difficulty in protecting their
protection and every foreign group
banded together to ward off the dang-
er.
Mrs. Hoover and her engineer hus-
band found immediate need for their
resources. While he was busy organiz-
ing the city's defenses, his bride
took command of hospital and relief
agencies. He was almost constantly under fire. With rice sacks for barricades, every one kept out of the line of fire as much as possible. It was here that the present author, Lady
learned of a whistling shell and the whine of a spent bullet. Serving in
any capacity necessary and even
manning a machine gun, she spent
long hours in warding off the troops of
the great powers to rescue them.
It was during this period that the Box-
ers reported her death. For she was
a leader and a marked woman,
later days she served in the troops
long "obituary" that was published in a newspaper while Tientsin was under siege.
While the club for foreign women was turned into a hospital, Mrs. Hoover and others cared on their nursing and without medicines or anesthetics.
"We got back and forth between our homes and the club by creeping along close to the high walls of the compound, where we opened the open corners by shooting past on bicycles."
Once at that time, she encountered a group of Cochlear Institute Ligation, in the very act of locoting her house. They reacted to her housewifely anger, however, by dropping everything they had in their hands and escaping with what they had stowed in their pockets.
At another time friends found her in the midst of shrieking shells over her home, calmly going home, and then through a part of the bedroom that she had just vacated, she went to another part of the house, without panic or visible nervousness. She then moved through a part of the bedroom that now graces the White House. She has shared with her husband enough adventures for several thrilling stories. Yet, she still remains the charming companion of her friend. Living under many unusual conditions, she has maintained her genial disposition.
Mrs. Herbert covers the lover of her sister, who the unafraid under shell-fire, is also the inveterate homemaker. She creates homes one after another around the world. In Peking, in revolution-form, she is the only resident white woman—in Tokyo, Lengren, or St. Petersburg, as it was then; in Kalgari and Broken Hill Australia; in romantic Mandalay, and in between London and Paris.
The homes, wherever they were, breathed a spirit of rest and satisfaction. All were, as one guest put it, "as American as they could through them all in the motif of the eventual real home — the permanent home for which, from the first, treasures, mostly books were collected—Mrs. Hoover, the immortal day spent overkindling the romantic days spent the Stanford campus.
Before Herbert, Jr., the elder of the two children, was four years old. he had circled the earth three times. That steady concern gave her young son's diet, for the stopping places were often remote spots, where milk was apt to be doubtful. Even the soa, she remembers, was not any too reliable. When she did not dum ahr her spirits. When, as still a young mother with a baby in arms for which to provide on a long journey to some little known outpost of civilization, she deterred prepared and thus went out to con- prepare and thus went out to con the best baby specialist to be found.
That physician was somewhat bewildered by his caller. He was not used to such practical mothers. Mrs. Hoover took notes on her notebook and pencil! She explained that what she wanted was not a consultation but a lecture. She sat there and took notes on his discourse for the trip and she took with her cases of the appropriate food for the coming months. It has always been this faculty of facing the thing needed, of being able to help. I remember Mrs. Hoover has made Mrs. Hoover the unusual woman that she is to-day. And in the eyes of President Hoover, the perfect companion. Girlhood friends of Lou Henry are friends still. They remember her as a teacher. We all, principal of one of the Brooklyn high schools, a college friend and close intimate, says that "Mrs. Hoover has that wonderful gift of always getting at the essentials and never lussing over trial thirteen."
Mrs. Allan remembers the time when the two Hoover sons were small boys and all were leaving shortly on one of the round the world mining trips, and Mrs. Allan sailed. Mrs. Hoover happened to mention in an off-hand manner to Mrs. Allan that her laundry had not been delivered. She never referred to it again, and Mrs. Allan remained with her until the ship pulled out. Mrs. Allan was the one who Hoover went sailing off with a happy smile, waving to all friends on shore. "There was that woman going around the world with two children and not a stitch of clean clothing," asserted Mrs. Allan. "I don't know another person to help me, but be willing to make a scene, willing to bet that Mr. Hoover never knew a thing about it and I know right well that she managed to get clean clothes for those children before the day was over. That's how much they are manage and with no fuss."
When the World War broke out and the need was evident for instant relief, first for stranded ours, first for the war giants, it was as natural for her to take the lead in her own circle as for him in his. Scared Americans were pouring into London, destitute of their deserts, then at the English capital. At a meeting of the Women's Division of the Relief Organization Mrs. Hoover started the colony of the Hoovers and opened our own purse into the basket. Then she said, "Let's begin. Let's all go down to the station and meet them." They did as she suggested and thus began a campaign to the world the never known. During the course of the war and when President Wilson called Herbert Hoover to take charge of the food supplies, Mrs. Hoover was acclaimed the "world's never known." To his work the "Cash and Carry" slogan, and she invented the famous Hoover apron. In all the work connected with the war, Mrs. Hoover was acclaimed freely. There was no fuss, just work She wanted no publicity.
It is this kind of a woman who is now First Lady, Knowing the importance of others who have served in that capacity, she still retains her friendliness and good nature. She has a friendly smile and a generous desire to serve. She has a kindness to be trained as a keen observer. She is tall, graceful, and possesses a magnetic disposition. There is a vibrancy about her, there is a radiance about her, there is warmth in her handclasp that quickens enthusiasm.
Mrs. Hoover's face is not the proverbial open book. At times it is most inscrutable and not infrequently mischievous. Sometimes it bears an expression that makes one wonder whom the joke is on. One who knows that hurts, Her humor is never satiate. If she is amused at a social custom or a misunderstanding resulting in an awkward situation, it is outright funny, but is never laughed at as a folble.
She has so many enthusiasm that when the joke is never just "social." When Intimate woman friends call for a cozy visit at the White House they almost always find her snuggled up in the corner of a sofa. There she is accustomed to squat, with her legs, curled up under her, and knotted, curled up under her, that the girl who loved to roam the hills, play baseball, willing to befriend those who were in trouble, has become the First Lady of the Land besides a scientist, a linguist, an amateur architect, an accomplished sportswoman, a free man, not detracted from her sympathetic understanding of those about her.
Recently Mrs. Hoover remembered a sick friend by sending as a present an odd tropic fruit, a lemon, to the letter accompanying it she was careful to say—at length—just how the core of this fruit should be prepared, should be mixed with apple or celery for salad. The letter was specific and friendly, which is typical of this First Lady and her interest in the tropic fruit, which, in reality make a lady first.
The gifted wife of a distinguished husband has a difficult role if she is to keep her own eyes widening his. This is demanded of President's wives even in this day of equality. They must be in the middle foreground but never in the background, to follow their illustrious consorts and help along in matters of state. They have to know the gravest secrets and not whisper one of them to their dearest in the face of tact, discretion and unfailing charm. There is no doubt whatever that Mrs. Hoover by reason of temperament and long experience, earns as much as any feminine occupant of the White House ever has.
The social duties of the First Lady are largely determined by precedent and by custom. There are certain functions to be observed, dinners to give and other details that have become a part of the White House atmosphere. When she is when the President's wife must exercise her own judgment and use her sense of fairness. In such matters it is safe to say that the First Lady will always be found doing that which is natural to her to do in the light of early education, and her own sense of fair play.
Those who know Mrs. Hoover could
other course than that chosen when
The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, August 10, 1929
she invited the wife of Representative DEpriest of Illinois to tea. There could be no hesitation on her part. She had been a long-time leader of what is right and proper, her education that embodies a world of travel and culture, would dictate her doing as she did. Whether Mrs. Hoover consulted customer advice, she cannot be known. It is significant to know that in all the criticism that has followed the extending of the White House hospitality to Mrs. DEpriest, not once did she find the precedents and good judgment of history in the matter. Being the kind of woman that she is, with tact, education, and culture, she can not find the necessary defiance an act that she feels needs no defense. It is true that history will substantiate the claims of those who point out that Mrs. Hoover did not impede or impredenced, when she officially had as one of her guests to tea Mrs. DEpriest of Chicago, whose husband is the first Negro Congressman in the United States, the first of his race from the North.
There are many residents of Washington today who well remember the social amenities enjoyed by the children of the city and other Negro families prominent in the official life of the Capital. In striking contrast to its present mood, the South in those days raised no "social equality" issue and appeared in communication with complicacy and calm. There are old Washingtonians and their descendants who recount that United States Senator Hiram R. Browne, a former guest at the White House during the administration of President Grant. Both the Senator and Mrs. Revels were educated and refined and those who knew them were united of their friendship with them. The Negro senator from Mississippi, B. K. Bruce, born a slave, who was in the upper house six years, was raised to himself and wife than any race couple ever to appear in official Washington's Who's Who. Their social contacts were not merely official, but personal, and grew out of mutual personal reference.
Mrs. Bruce, who was comely, of light complexion, tall and stately, not only attended social functions at the White House, but was known to have stood in the receiving room of President Hayes. Senator Bruce later served two terms as register of the treasury and one as recorder of deeds. Throughout their official life the Bruces were conspicuous at receptions, dais, for the president, for their entertaining, for they believed in returning the compliments. They lived for a long period in a five-story brownstone house in an exclusive section of Washington, near Connecticut avenue. They were also Senator Stewart and Thomas Nelson Page, among their neighbors.
When her husband was in the Senate, r.Ms. Bruce had her carriage and coachman and called on the man to customize. Mrs. Bruce numbered among her best friends the wife of General J. A. Logan. The Bruces spent most of their time in London they were presented to Queen Victoria and entertained by United States diplomatic representatives at London and Paris. Senate Mrs. Bruce had her carriage and coachman as closest friend L. Q. C. Lamar, of Mississippi, an aristocrat and a member of one of the State's oldest and best families. The spectacle of the two men walk Virginia avenue is remembered.
It is no secret that C. H. J. Taylor, a Negro of intellectual attainments, was a frequent visitor at the White House the first time Grover Cleveland met him. That when Cleveland wanted to temporarily forget the cares of state and warmest admirers was Senator after a strenuous day, he would invite his friend to drop in for an hour or so. The counselor, Mr. Taylor, was able to impress the high esteem in which Cleveland held Taylor was indicated when he named him as Minister to Bolivia. As stated, no one knows if Mrs. Hoover was made a minister. If Mrs. Hoover was made a minister, it possible that her student mind remembered them. Regardless of whether she recalled such points of history or not, her essential nature, her good sportsmanship, her belief in equality and justice would not have allowed her to be the did. From the time when she was willing to help her colored friends in school with their lessons, to her elevation to the White House, she has always taken the same path. It is most unlikely that something that could be imagined would cause her to do otherwise.
With such evidence of Mrs. Hoover's nature, it is still interesting to note that twenty-one Negroes have held seats in Congress between the fortieth and fifty-sixth sessions of the United States Congress, given they have attended social functions and have deported themselves with becoming dignity and restraint. They merely accepted the complimentary considerations to which they were entitled by reasons of position and ability. They fortune for America that there is in the White House those in charge who appreciate these things and have a sturdy Americanism, unafraid, fair, just.
DoYouKnow
What Was the Oregon Trail? From the backbone of the Rockies to the heart of the Oregon Country, "comprising what is now Washington, Oregon, Idaho and a part of Montana and Wyoming, occupied only by a few scattering trappers and hunters. From 1842 there began a constantly increasing tide of emigrants per year, and this land of promise. Their mode of conveyance was mostly by covered wagon (Prairie Schooner"). The trail extended in a general northwesterly direction, a distance of 2,000 miles, from Independence, Mo., to the Columbia River, and the Columbia River. It eroded northeastern Kansas, southern Nebraska, diagonally across Wyoming, across Idaho to the headwaters of the Columbia and along its course to Ft. Vancouver. The same one used for California as far as soda Springs in eastern Idaho. At this point the California trail struck southward.

I looked at him long and searchingly. . . Al Jarton, at last awed into silence, stood with open mouth gazing blankly from one to the other of us.
SYNOPSIS
THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF GRUESOME MURDERS IN SEL L W N A NEGATIVAL tower room, a mysterious addition to the house. It was built by a man who was sent back from a tragic stay in Bali where his young bride, Mary, has been murdered. The tragedy has made him an eccentric reclusive. He lives in the house alone servants, Dilaren and his wife, Mom. Exasim himself is the first one murdered, and he is followed by the sound of some huge reptilian body being dragged over an entrance to the room large enough to admit such a body and no apparent hiding places. He has disappeared one by one until the last one, the ginestess detective, Alene Hardmore, who is killed when her body is detected by detective Tom Frederick and his friend and co-worker, Alice Jones, the undertaker, Alene Jones.
But—the next day that body is stolen from the undertaking establishment, presumably the old man, Selwyn mother is a Italian vodka priestess, the bodies are a Italian vodka priestess, the disappearance of old Men's body, an Indian scalp knife is found with a few strands of hair attached to its blood-covered body.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY.
Diaron paused and looked around again. He dropped his voice even lower. We had to bend forward to catch his next words—"Maybe for the service of the marmalo, who is the owner of the man who come from—away. They are maybe ZOMBIES."
I was puzzled. "And what may zombies, be?") I asked, somewhat impatiently. To have come all this time to own a man I would be a leading clew only hear a long rambling tale from an old man, based probably on some impossible superstition, was indeed, aggratulating. Besides, the trip and the story had taken a purported success of which might depend upon the speed with which it could be prosecuted.
Al Jarton snorted — literally "Hell, he said, "the all you chasers born do you know that?" Look here
Something in old Dilaron's eyes as he turned them on us stooped Al. It was an expression that defied description. He turned on the excited egotism of the fool who proudly boasts that he does not believe in God, or an ignorantus who insists that the world is flat because he can see it and anything he can see he knows is so. The glance came. I felt unhappy. I felt ashamed and just a bit like a child who has been rebuked by an elder for ignorant boasting.
Aggressively and in a louder and more emphatic tone, to cover my momentary embarrassment, Ignorantly repeated my question: "What are these Zombies that must have some unknown connection with Haitian graveyards, and why are they so important to me, perhaps because I wish with this Creeping Thing mystery and with old Era Selvyn's octagonal room with its murders going on while we listen perhaps to take it out in speech. The exposition of disdainful and yet tolerant wisdom in diarion's eyes, deepened. He looked up at me straightly. A monstrous dignity seemed to envelop him. Zombies "Zombies," he said slowly and distinctly, "are human corpses without souls, yet living and alive. They are usually taken from the graves, monster, before the what you call rot, come. The evil mama — or papa-lou he make me mess with, and that he walks as you and me. He makes it work in the fields or in the house or maybe do his crime he wish not to do himself. It is very hard to do. He looks at me. The old man maussed and looked at me quite calmly.
- I gasped. The absolutely unthinkable weirdness of the explanation food, bread and robbed me a sensual retreat.
- "What the hell?"
- Al, with the usual poverty of expression of the man who lives utterly and who is not afraid of materially-minded, blurred out his stock ejaculation for any any emotion beyond the ordinary.
- You not believe? Diarrhea goes on. You press his hands expressively. His eyebrows went up. A quizzical look behind which lay a hopelessness of our man, who spread slowly over his black face.
Something in his manner compelled my serious attention to his wild tale. At least there might be something in his superstition that would help it, the ones who held it. Garland Selwyn was a Jatian. He had undoubtedly been reared in the Haitian jungles where voodoo was the very life of the people. His mother was a Jatian, and her superstition was prevalent no matter how impossible in fact might it not have motivated in some terrible way, the acts of those imbued with it? Maybe, after all, there might be a clew here. He was more about Zombies, Diavon. I said, and my voice was respectful.
"More? What more? Why, if you no believe? It is not nice talk of Zombies. It is not good talk; it is evil. I only talk to help and you no believe." His tone was suspicious and dangerous, near a war zone that seemed to quarrel but nevertheless held itself aloot and superior.
"But, Dionar." I spoke placatively. As he closed up I became more and more convinced that there might be knowledge of. "You must understand that to us, who have never heard of such things the first mention of zombies must necessarily be hard to believe, but knowledge can hardly blame us if we have never known of such things, nor ever heard of them, if we do not take it all in at first. Come, now Dionar, and help me in clearing up in the help of the Creeping Thing and the murders in the octagonal room, speak up and tell us. I tlled pledge you and help me and—if well, anyway, let us have more information about them." I paused and looked at him hopefully expectant. I saw the lines about his alma. A drew in his breath and opened his lips. I mudged him surreptitiously. I wasn't going to have any remark from Al bailing up things just as I was getting the roughness ironed
"As I tell you, the evil mamaloi or papaloi he use the zombies he make for many things. Sometimes he sell them to work in the fields of others—far away from the place where they live. This is so the relative, the mother or father or brother, maybe not see them and know them. For when relatives find zombies, he maybe kill the civil worker. So zombie much better if he made from bodies far away from homeplace of anybody he knew, so we keenly, searching for any evidence of levity or sneering 'unbelief. Our expression seemed to satisfy him completely.
"The zombie, he not like soulbody. He must have only boulle without salt or the plantains boiled in clear water for his eat. For if once he taste salt he will die and the zombie will die corpse and he hurry back to graveyard, or maybe sometime he drop where he is and there is things that we may not speak of then; it is too horrible. Also everybody who sees the zombie who has taste salt he know he is but dead man and no live. Well—maybe perhaps if papaulo can be dead body and can take them back to homeland as zombie then he can do what he please, for no one know
they are zombie and as long as he watch carefully that they get no salt in their mouth, they will evil papalian in making magic for make people do what papalio wish or—maybe kill people, especially if he be big, strong zombie. "I am a sudden possibility of this belief in the distorted imagination of one of the followers of the evil cult, and what it might lead to, bore in on my mind, Diaron look up quickly and pause. "BIG AND STRONG." I repeated the words "BIG, STRONG. Why, Alene Hardware was a gianettess and her strength I stopped and I went back at Jared. Jared was back at Diaron. They were both staring back at me with wide eyes. Diaron, with something of satisfaction at the perspicacity of a favorite pupil evil papalian, made a careful look of tristened possibility.
"Do you know where Garland Selwyn hangs out around here, Diaron?" I asked. A sudden discussion bizarre and impossible this wild story, I was going to hunt along the lines of the belief of the islanders in the possibility. What I should find, new not known, was determined to make a rough sketch. "At first he stopped at the Beak House up on Maine street, but when I telephoned in for him this morning Miz Beal she telephone back out last night and take his theergs she say with him. He tell her he no come back again that night. She say a strain a woman—old and funny and she says she has not even although she not have seen her before. He leave her outside in the little side lobby when he pay his bill and say she is one who just come in and see her. He tells something that have something to do with Selwyn House.
"He tell Miz Beal he go to investigate, maybe be back in a day or two. She's keep his room on her big money so she keep it. These things I think over and then I know that maybe strange woman be zombie and maybe he have some more zombies to kill you." Dion stopped abruptly. I looked at him long and searchingly but it was as if a curtain were pulled down over his old expressionless black shirt to the room's silence, stood with open mouth guzzling blankly from one to the other of us. Sven his customary ejaculation could be justice of these things that he had just heard.
Uncertainty
My mind was whirling in an attempt to come to some definite conclusion as to what action he could make. Where should I turn? How should I start? Then suddenly-"She is keep his room for him—he pay her big money. And it. A search of the Real House was the first logical step.
I heaved a long sigh of relief. Action at last. I wanted to be doing something, and this offered the first step. What the next step would be was dependent on what I might or might not turn up in the investigation of that hotel room. "May I use your telephone here, a minute. Dilaron, quarrel." "But man was profusely conscientious." The old man was profusely courteous in his permission. I gave Alec's home call. "3423. J." in answer to the operator's "number, please." I said, when his well-known hall came from the other end of the wire. "I want you to meet me over at the Beal House in about a half hour. I am out to the old Selwyn and see what you are the trail of a few possibilities that may lead somewhere. When you go over to the Beal House inquire about casually about this guy, Garland Selwyn, and see what you are going to see him on some business. If
he happens to be there stall around and keep him. If not, see if you can find out anything about his movements last night and this morning, and any visitors he may have had.
I talked without interruption, for Alec was one of those rare souls who know how to listen to instructions without interruption. We were marked was, "all right, old scout, I get you," and then he hung up.
I went back to Al who was just getting his first whole breath. "Come on, Al," I encouraged, "think you have to be careful down to the Beal House?" Hope you don't eat any salt on the way, though. If I hadn't known how dumb you looked all your life, I take you for a zombie. That's what you look like, and my grim, pleasantly with a wan smile, as he climbed into the car and took the wheel.
"Do you think there can be anything in that tale, Tom?" were about ten minutes away on our town-ward journey, when the question that had been roaming around in the far reaches of his mind.
"We'll soon know, Al," I answered, and there was a queer feeling of uncertainty, heart that made my uncle heart unaware. No further word was spoken till we drew up before the big, two-storied, colonial house that was sometimes known as the Beal House, but we were not exactly a hotel, but for the more discriminating visitors that came to the small town, the widow Beal's home was a hostery par ex-communal. We used the great knocker on the door that led into the front hall. The small maid answered it. The maid was the reason many of the Beal House as a hotel. It was not the usual thing for the folks of this independently upstanding community to have servants. Most of the women in the house-work. "Nobody can do my cleaning to suit me," was a stock remark of the neat housewives of the place. He sat behind the door I saw Alec's hat hanging on the rack.
Beal House kept up the tradition of being a private house by receiving and treating the casual guest, who came in sometimes for a cup of tea. I knew I would find Alice in the well-appointed dining room seated at one of the small side tables toying with a cup of tea or coffee. As Al and I walked in, Alice looked on and sat down in it, but I knew he had some information for me. I crossed to the table and pulled out one of the two chairs and sat down with a casual greeting and a motion to Al to pull up one of the chairs from a neighbourhood. He did not know who had admitted us now come forward in her other guse of waitress. "What can I do for you, gentleman?" she said in her happiest manner. "A cup of tea, Annie," I smiled up at her pleasantly.

up in his own words has’ been, "to
pat Negro music on a truly dignified
Bnd artiste basis.” In this tt is ad-
mitted that he has succeeded re-
markably well.
"Among his many choral composi-
tions, pasea upon folk themes are
“Listen to the Lambs," "Oh, Heat
the Lambs a’Crying,” “Don't be
Weary. Traveller.” | "Babylon's Fall-
Ing." “Somebody's Knocking at, Yout
Door,” and others using, tie highest
musical forms. ‘The choruses, based

This does not seem possible, but
he has done it time and again.” Not

EXPECT PITCHERS' DUEL
Rector and Yokely Are Probable Pitching Choices.
The Lincoln Giants, of New York, riding in third place in the American League, will be here Sunday in an attempt the winning streak of the league-leading Black Sox, in a twin-bill at Maryland Park.
Local fans are promised a thrill when Connie Mason, leading pitcher of American loop, and Layon Yokel, Black Sox ace, hook up, in what should be one of the greatest mound duels seen here season. These two pitchers are considered the strongest in the league by originated.
and, Journoy will no doubt be chosen by Manager Warfield to handle the assignment in the nightcap, and it is probable that he will be faced by Holland. The visitors will be some heavy hitters in the Smith, outfielder, who is now leading the league, who are average of 487, in addition to holding the home run run: Rojo, Scales, Riggins, Gray and Pon Lloyd.
Cubans Beat Them
The Black Sox, however, feel confident that the big bats of the New Yorkers can be silenced and point to the series victory of the Stars over the Mets in New York Sunday. The Monday. The Pomp aggression took two of the three games in the Keenanmen and the locals are counting on taking two contests.
Black Sox pitcher, who in his time has hurried many a strike over the plate, doesn't get the job he used to, as most of his time is now taken up helping Manager Warfield and in coaching the younger player, the fine points of his playing pastime.
Dixon. Wilson. Washington, and Lundy are all hitting the pitcher and the opposing pitcher, hitting safe and hardly. Two victories over the Lincolnists will entrench the Westport gang more firmly in their position at the top of the American League and it is much easier for Rossiter who is the winning pitcher by the Sox will eliminate the necessity of having a play-off to decide the eastern title.
Force, who is a right hander, started his baseball career with the Knoxville College nine, and when graduated he played for the Chicago Giants, later transferring to the Chicago American Giants as a pitcher and outfielder. His stay there was short as the same season he went to the Detroit Stars. He was a member of the Sox in 1924 and it looks as if he'll be here a long time yet.

ERRORS ABOUND
Bronco Outfielder Quits When He Misses Fly Ball.
Spectators at Maryland Park Sunday saw the Black Sox move their artillery on the field and mow down two Philadelphia teams, the South Philadelphia Giants, by a 17 to 6 score, and Santop's Broncos, by a 14-4 verdict.
The first game was truly a comedy, as the Sox, with their eyes peeled, kept the Nordic boys running around the diamond, trying to reach their hits. In the first two innings the Sox had placed nine runs to their
Blake, pitcher of the visiting team, was switched to first base for Swigler, who was substituted on the mound. He fared a little better than his predecessor, allowing eight runs in the remaining six. Smith, a new starter, worked the entire game, allowing only ten scattered hits, while the local aggregation knocked the two Philadelphia hurriers for a total of eighteen hits.
Second Game
The second game was a repetition of the first, when the Box toop topped the box, and the box was thrown around at their mercy. The Box scored two runs in the opening frame of the night cap. The Box scored three in the third inning that netted them ten runs.
The fans were rewarded with a little fun when Wilson and Washington stole home in the ninth inning, in place of the pitcher, who missed the ball in his hand, unaware of their game attempts. The next humorous incident came when Washington knocked a pop-up to left field and Richard missed the pellet and quit the field in disgust.

Spectators and swimmers, are tuning up for the annual out-door swimming races, to be held at Drudg Hill Park, Tuesday August 20, at 2:00 p.m. The two guards at the big pool, Gibson and Watty, are busy helping could-be swimmers at their work-place. The swimming meets at the end of the season have always uncovered quite a few good swimmers. This season will give a chance to a greater number of the unknowns to step up.
Neptune Club Out
An added attraction this year will be a special 100-440-yard swims, and fancy diving, with Johnson and Stanley Smith, Malery Dent, and Harris, member of the Neptune Club. The Neptune Club, the strongest group of swimmers produced in the past, have been barred out of the competition. John Smallwood, Shorter and Clint Tarter will have to compete in the special events.
Boys' and Men's Events
Donald Murray has signed up for the fancy divers for boys, and there will be some stiff opposition from others.

American Loop and Outlaws Make Up
PHILADELPHIA. — Some weeks ago the American Negro League sent out a warning to all booking agents declaring that the teams of the league would refuse to play the scheme would refuse to play which was buying contract jumpers from Pompey's Cuban Stars, members of the league.
The effect of this ukase was to force these men to come to terms and now these suspended players have been released. They have eaved their period in chancery and are now back in their old uniforms. Coincident with this, President Obama announces that the United States Chacon and his outfit has been lifted.

JAKE STEVENS JUMPS
HILLDALE BALL CLUB
Daisy Shortstop Turned in Uniform Thursday; Owed Club, Objected to Paying.
JUMP IS HIS SECOND
Skipped Homestead Grays a Start of Season.
PHILADELPHIA. — Following an alteration with President Eduardo M. Rosales on Thursday, Paul Stevens club last shortstop, turned in his uniform and is said to have returned to New England to rejoin Dan McGee, his co-plain-club. President Bobley immediately suppended him and issued the following statement:
"Stevens has been suspended in the club. He will be allowed to play again until the league has acted in his case.
When Stevens jumped the Grassie he was the one who them $208 in the club on debt. He will be club for money advanced to him last. When he was reinstated by the Grays and traded to Hildale five weeks ago, condition of the deal with the club debts to the two clubs. He agree to do this. When his first pay day came around we took out a portion of the money due and due the rest of the debts to the two clubs. He agree did not intend to pay the bills. He also demanded that we pay him for the two and one-half months he was on duty and of course, we were on duty and of course, we were abused and insulting language.
"Steyens owes the Hildale club more than he can ever repay. He drew a good salary from us and sat on the bench for years. He has been a trouble-maker ever since he began playing. He has grave injustice to the many local players on the team to allow him to get away with this.
Men Must Pay Up
"Hilldale may be throwing away its chances to win the second half pennant but the time has come for us to put principle above victory and to win the game in the Thursday game we were willing to make concessions to him but our corporation has now decided that ball players must deliver the goods pay their debts and be gentlemen or seek elsewhere for employment.
"Hilldale, and I am sure all other league clubs, are through with slackers and cheaters."

AFRO TOURNAMENT TO START MONDAY
AFRO TOURNAMENT TO START MONDAY
City and County Players to Swing into Action in First Annual Tourney.
MANY DARK HORSES
Annapolis Group to Play Baltimore, Saturday.
Horseshoe pitchers all over the state will swing into action Monday, when the AFRO'S first annual tournament will get under way.
Baltimore contestants and those in the counties will launch the competition that is to decide the best twirler of the iron luck tokens by the first of September. Interests in the tournament, since the AFRO first announced in six weeks ago, has grown at a rapid rate, and from the present view of the barnyard golf situation in the state, there is going to be some keen competition before the last shot is pitched.
Not So Easy
Regardless of whether the pitching stake is called the "peg," "meg," or "neg," horseshoe pitchers are going to find that getting the range from a 40-foot distance with a pair of heavy shoes, is not going to be as easy as it might be. The pitchers seem to fall into three distinct groups, namely, those players who may be termed as ringer pitchers; those who are consistent in pitching close shoes, and those who release the shoes from their hands to let them land as best they may. A survey of the various courts shows that there are many players who will not be bothered by the rule six inches of the peg in order to which requires shoes to be within score. On the regulation clay court, the player that releases that it will slide off or roll, six inches of the peg, there is little as the clay will hold it in place.
One Game
In Baltimore districts the eliminations will consist of one game for each contestant during the first round. After this elimination, the tournament committee will announce the number of games to be played in the remaining rounds. As far as possible, a game shall consist of 21 points.
Inter-City Meet
So interested have horseshoe pitchers in Annapolis become in the tournament that a team of them will journey to Baltimore, Saturday, to play a select group of Baltimore tossers on the Druld Hill Park courts in the afternoon. They will be of the nature, a little inter-city tournament and should give a good chance to compare the comparative strength of contestants in the two cities. The AFRO tournament is on, and may the best man win!
Clubs desiring special regulation shoes may get them through the AFRO-AMERICAN. Ordered 20 pair lots the shoes will cost $10.00 pair, pair in lots 10 and 5, they may be obtained at $1.00 and $1.25 per pair, respectively. If only one pair is bought the cost will be $1.50 plus postage. Groups will find it economical to cooperate in buying their shoes.

DIXON MAKES 14
STRAIGHT HITS
"Rap" Dixon, sterling outfielder of the Baltimore Black Sox, set a record for consecutive hits when he amassed 14 straight blows in four games against theressed Grays and the Hilldale club. He finally stopped by Dale Cooper, of Clan Darble, last Thursday. Dixon, formerly of the Harrisburg club, is one of the most feared hitters in baseball, and will be a formidable contender for the batting honors. While Dixon has leaped to the lions, has topped the league for most of the season, Dixon, Beckwith, Charleston, Dihigo, Judy Johnson, Jud Wilson and Buck Ewing are all potential leaders.
CAN'T SECURE GOOD UMPIRES, MOGUL SAYS
George Rossiter, Sox Owner,
Explains Absence of Race
Arbiters Here.
GLAD TO USE THEM
Says Players and Fans Kick on Present Crop.
"I have not used race umpires at Maryland Park because I've had no competent ones, but if any first-class arbiters apply, I'll be glad to use them."
Thus spoke George Rossiter, white, owner of the Baltimore Black Sox, when questioned as to why race umpires were not used at the Black Sox Park. Mr. Rossiter declared, had entered to bar race officials from his park.
Players, Fans Kicked
"I have used Negro umpires in some of the pre-season games," the local baseball magnate continued, "and I had numerous squawks from players and fans. Players said that they would not stand for the use of the men in these games, an league contests.
"Surely, they had race umpires at Hildale for a while, but they soon had to get rid of them because of their inefficiency. This is not the fault of the men, however, but is just an unfortunate circumstance. The colored umpire does not have the advantage that the white umpire has, in passing from wrist ball to the minor, and then to the major. He must come just as the average player does, from the sand lot right to the 'big show' and as a result of his inexperience is not able to deliver the goods."
Too Much Familiarity
Continuing his explanation the local mugel pointed out that the manner in which race umpires generally made themselves familiar with the players, marred their opportunity to give unbiased decisions. This familiarity, he explained, is not experienced between the white umpires the players, and nonwhite the players look to him to give fairer work. No umpire is infallible he hastened to explain, but until better race umpires are developed fans and players alike, he believes, will insist on the use of white umpires.
Mr. Rossiter asserted that he could only recall one umpire who had applied to him for league and he had considered incompetent for the job. "Til he glad," he said, "to turn Negro umpires at any time they prove competent. Until that time I can't do a thing else."
GANS GETS DRAW
NEW YORK—Baby Joe Gans, the California ace, and Sergt. Sammy Baker, white, slugging soldier welterweight from Mitchell field, fought ten rounds to a draw in the Queensboro stadium, here Tuesday.
Gans got off to a good lead and in the second round, dropped Baker for the count of seven. Baker gained his points in the closing. two rounds.
Fight scorers gave each of the fighters three rounds, with the other four even. Baker weighed 143½ and Gans 142.

The Passing Review
By BILL GIBSON
POCOMOKE CITY. Md.-When district horseshoe pitching champions gather in Baltimore, a few weeks hence, to decide state supremacy, the Eastern Sho' region. If present indications mean anything, should be well up in the money.
And this is not an idle conjecture, for after traveling through miles of this fertile agricultural region, and seeing youth and age twirl the iron luck tokens, one does not have to wonder long why this is said.
In this secure township, bathed by the waters of the Pocomoke river, baseball has been the leading outdoor sport, but it will be rivalled soon by the great game of barnyard golf. Grizzled farmers, who long since had laid aside the equine footwear for the less strenuous game of this, dominate the farmers, have heard the call of the AFIOS in the pitching tournament, and they, with the husky farm youths who thrive in abundance all along the Sho' will match strength and skill in an attempt to decide the district championships.
John McKinley Schofield, well known local follower of sports, will have charge of the district tournament here.
At Salisbury the blacksmith shops are having a hard time keeping shoes on hand, so insistent have been the requests for them. Business and professional men have joined hands in keeping interest in the tournament at fever heat, and if Salisbury boosters are to be believed, the championship might as well be conceded now to the Salisbury entry.
As you have probably guessed, J. F. (Jim) Stewart, the undertaker, is going to be chief of this district, and Jim—if he pardon our reference to him in this manner—is going to make him, and Salisbury boosters will be pleased with this is said. Salisbury boosters of some old-timers who are past Masters in the art of flipping the horse slippers, and while we did not see all of them in action, we'll take Jim's word for the rest. When you've pitched against such competition as that afforded by Spencer Quinton, William J. Dashelli, H. H. Dashelli and Mr. Stewart, himself, you can form your own opinion. Of course these are just a few of the aces, for over in the California suburban territory and other contiguous territory there are scores of horseseers pitchers who have taken solemn oaths to uphold the fair name of Salisbury.
Around at the Elks' Home and on various lots in Salisbury one finds plenty of activity. Baseball is taken a temporary slump in and in the competition with horsesseers and at the same time win a prize for doing so, has proved very attractive to lovers of outdoor sport. And by the way, we almost forget to tell you that the boys down here have a dark horse, in the form of a minister, who is said to be mighty good. And let us say now that he's practicing every day on a private court in his own yard.
Whenever horseshoes are mentioned in Cambridge, one immediately thinks of the Seymour family, around on Washington street. Here in the Seymour yard, the pick of the town's pitchers gather.
Up the street lives Jack Henry, and Jack has a gang that can pitch horseshoes, too. So it appears that the Cambridge championship will be decided by bringing these two groups together. The rivalry is keen and interest in the tournament, slow in getting warm, is now approaching a rather torrid temperature.
All up and down Pine Street and on High street too, one on heart discussion of the coming tournament. Candelup growers, proud of their crop, most of these entrants are equally proud of their ability to toss the horses' boots and you don't have to use ear phones to hear the conversation. Once the most popular sport in Cambridge, horseshoe pitching, with the stimulus of the AFRO's tournament, has come out of the doldrums, and is now dancing around on both feet, well and hearty.
Can they pitch horseshoes in Annapolis? we asked, and we were not startled when the answer came, "Man, that's what we can't do nothing else but in this town."
Still we were skeptical . . . we wanted to see more. Sembly, they said . . . works down at the Naval Academy . . . rings three out of five . . . beat everything in light, white and black at Poughkeepsie, N. Y. . . he's the man you want to see at Poughkeepsie. We saw Sembly. We're not skeptical anymore. And there are others. Let us say right here. Annapolis is overrun with GOOD horseshoe pitchers and they keep in practice. Why tell us that some of the fellows broke ice and swept snow off the street to play the game.
Take a look at these names: J. Brown, P. Hall, Bob (Elks Home) Pinkney, John Sembly, Sid Jordan, Ernest Gantt, and many others, too numerous to mention here, and you'll understand why Annapolitans will wager their last cent on these horseshoe artists. Ernest Gantt, president of the Peerless Athletic Club, the assistance of Mr. Sembly, is organizing a district, including the city proper, of the surrounding territory, and the two promising real competition when their entry stacks up against the champions from other Maryland cities and towns.
While we have yet to reach the western shore, and the far western region, results in the Eastern Sho' region and in some parts of the Western Sho' region are gratifying. Dorchester, Caroline, Wicomico, Queen Anne, Worcester, Talbot, Anne Arundel, Harvard, Howard, Carroll and Baltimore counties, have begun work in earnest, and other counties are expected to fall in line daily.
The districts are starting their eliminations just as fast as they can in order to be able to have their champions easily. Baltimore by the last week in August. The army of horseshoe pitchers is mobilizing fast and when these artists lay slege to Baltimore 'twill be just too bad.
"YOU FORGOT SOMETHING," writes Local Tennis Fan, "when you were throwing the spotlight on local tennis in the Passing Review last week. Maybe it was an oversight, or maybe you didn't
"What I want to call to your attention is that Benny Hill, who won two straight sets from Ralph Reckling should have been named the local junior champion, that is, if rules are to be followed. Junior contestants are to play the best two out of three sets. Whether Hill knew this or not I do not know, but after winning the first two sets, he played three more, losing them all and also the championship.
"I am not a partisan for either of the two players, but thought I would call this to your attention and that of the public, so that in the future it may not happen again."
Having been out of the city, we have not, at this writing, been able to see the tournament officials to ask them about the matter. Whether Hill had been informed of the proper number of sets to be played, we do not know. Someone, officially connected with the tournament, should have informed him. We hope someone did. Juniors cannot or should not be expected to know all the ins and out that the guards do.
This matter should be corrected in time for the next tournament, and may we suggest here that as far as possible, persons having no particular interest in individual contestants be used as officials?

AUGUST 29 IS DATE OF 12-ROUND FIGHT
Cuban Sensation Signed for
Biggest Battle of His Sensational Career.
ODDS ON SINGER
Both Fighters Compromise on
128 3-4 Pounds for Bout.
NEW YORK. — Marking a "natural" for the local outdoor boxing season, Kid Chocolate, the Cuban flash, signed here this week to meet Al Singer, white, Bronx junior lightweight in a 12-round bout at the Polo Grounds,
here, August 29.
It has been estimated that the fight will gross around $200,000. Singer defeated Andre Routis in New York some time ago, toppling the featherweight in a crushing defeat in two rounds. The Chocolate-Singer match has been long awaived. The fight fans are very excited. The white factory is very likely to send the white boy into the ring a favorite.
Had Meteoric Rise
The rise of the Keed to his present position in the fistic firmament, reads almost like fiction. He drifted into New York a little more than a year ago with his manager, bricks and in need of immediate action. Inquiry at the various fields called to his various break" and it was at Mitchell Field at the soldiers' camp that he got his first chance to show his wares.
Within the year Chocolate has defeated Bushey Graham, Fidel LaBarba, and Vidal Gregorio, and promoters have been pleased to obtain his services for $15,000 per night. The fight, however, afforded a much dickier, the weight calling for 128 3-4 pounds at two o'clock on the afternoon of the fight.
Compromise on Weight
Singer wanted it at 129 and Chocolate wanted 128, and the compromise resulted. Singer will have a training camp at Hoosick Falls, while Chocolate will train at Orangeburgh, N. Y. Chocolate has a fight this week, meeting Tommy Lorenzo, white in a ten-round bout at the Mitchell Field Club, Wednesday night.
ANOTHER K.O. FOR KEED

Insulator Nine Takes Measure of Mt. Washington Outfit by 10-9 and 10-1 Scores.
The Locke Giants, playing break-up Baseball, defeated the Highland Rangers in two games Sunday, by the scores of 10-9 and 10-1.
Joe Lineberger was on the mound for the Lockes in the first game, allowing the Rangers an even dozen bingles and striking out 14 men. C. Scott, hurled for the losers and retired nine batsmen via the ether route.
George Young, Locke catcher, proved the slugging star of the day, rapping out two double and a triple in the first batter. The second game was walkaway for the Lockes; and the Rangers at no time exhibited enough punch to make themselves dangerous.

Is Bettie Jenkins Really to Marry?
Ye gods and sea fishes! Provident Hospital is full of romance, it seems. Listen, my dear, to what has just come over the phone from my friend, the independent of nurses, is planning her month's vacation in Newark, N.J., and while there, she will become the bride of Dr. Algenborn B. Phillip, from B.W.I. who is a recent graduate of Howard University. Miss Jenkins, you know, is from Alabama. All I have got to do now is get hold of Miss Jenkins and see if this telephone message coming from somebody I'll call out to, out whether she will keep her position at the hospital or stay near hubby, dear.

So, being not very far from Anne Eliza's home, no doubt explains how the romance began. The Baltimore girls feel rather slighted to think that the minister, a Baltimore man, had to go all the way down to North Carolina to find his helpmeet, when there are so many girls right here quite as charming as the other girls, and their friends do that everywhere and Baltimore is no exception.

"The women of the country must organize to protect the home and environmental influences around children," Mrs Sallie Stewart, president of the National Association of Colored Women, told Baltimore women at a WGA meeting Tuesday.
The meeting, which was presided over by Mrs. Minnie L. Gaines, president of the Maryland Association of Colored Women, was also attended by leading women and men of the city.
"Our biggest problem," said the speaker, "is the child environment and the home. This is the foundation and the activity that every consideration of growups should be sacrificed in the interest of the child and home. Mrs. Stewart declared that the practice of having expensive automobiles and spending live give up while the entire family lived in crowded circumstances, sometimes a two or three room apartment or home, was all wrong. "Sitting on front door steps stringing beans, combing your hair sliding down the stairs, or the things which give our neighbors bad impressions."

Rev. Cousins Addresses Students on "Interacial Relations."
When races practice forbearance to the extent of going out of their way to benefit each other, rather than the present attitude of "I will put my own problems will be solved declared Rev. Cousins, white, in an address to the students of Morgan summer school, Wednesday.
Rev. Cousins, who is associated with the Rev. Peter Ainslee of the Christian Temple, spoke to the school on "Interracial Relations." He gave frequent examples of how such schools have an attitude of mere tolerance, which he says should give place to real forbearance before any adequate adjustment of race relations can take place.
Allison Davis, professor of English, commenting on the address, spoke of a liberal view in the ministry, which he remains consistent with Christianity.
A pageant by the class in dramatization, taught by Howard M. Gross, exhibitions by the class in exhibitions, taught by Prof. W. Webb and the class in methods in history and geography, taught by Prof. Grace D. Brening, marked the closing of the summer session, taught by Prof. W. Webb on Friday afternoon, and the exhibits Thursday and Friday. Prof. Wm. H. Easton spoke at the assembly Thursday, on "Robert Burns."

NO NEW CAR AT THESE PRICES CAN MATCH THESE PLEDGE-BACKED USED CARS.
The quality materials, precise workmanship, solid comfort, beauty and performance of the car are being matched in a new car priced so low!

For, besides all the benefits the manufacturer used cars, the Studebaker Pledge fully protects his investment! Consider such real values as these:

Baltimore Men Tell AFRO They Walked 300 Miles to Escape Hardships.
BLAME AGENTS
Eutaw Street Agency Gave Untrue Conditions, They Say.
Conditions, which they said were the worst they have ever experienced in their lives, were told by men who straggled back to the city after a 300-mile walk from a road construction project near Nelson, Pennsylvania, this week.
One of the men, Wallace McDaniels, who came originally from Kinston, N. C., but who has been in Baltimore, for some time, declared that after being fed bread and white potatoes twice daily with a lunch of three apple sauce sandwiches and sleeping in a horse stable where they had to move about to keep the rain from falling through the ceiling on them, he and others decided to walk back.
MONEY HELD.
"I applied to the Reliable Employment Agency at 413 N. Entaw street, he said, "on Saturday, July 20 and they told me they could send me to a good job in Pennsylvania. They stated that the pay would be from 45 cents to 60 cents per hour and that we would find facilities for maintenance arranged on the job.
tenance.
"I accepted the job and joined a crew which was carried up on a truck. We left in the early morning and reached the job that night after a continuous ride, without food. At night we were told that our dinner would cost a dollar. It consisted of white potatoes and bread. There was no meat or other foods.
vegetables.
"This dinner as well as our meals and the trip was charged to our account.
FIVE WEEK'S PAY.
"With the $11 charged for the trip on the truck and the meal, together with $8 for the first week's board bill, we did not expect much coming, but imagine our surprise when we were told that our pay had been 25 cents per hour and that it would be five weeks before we could draw any pay." McDaniels declared.
"The work is a highway construction job and is being done by a contracting firm. People in the community near the place told us that the company had such a reputation that it could not get help in that section, and hence was recruiting labor from the South."
EMPLOYMENT AGENTS.
A number of men straggling back declared that it was a custom of the agents to lure men there under any circumstances as they received $2 per man which was paid out of the first week's work and that the constant shifting of men meant more money to them.
Edward Gray. 1810 Etting street told the AFRO-AMERICAN that he refused to go with a crew this week when he heard from McDaniel's own mouth what kind of a job it is.

Automobile Overturns in Collision on Belair Road
Two persons were injured when the automobile in which they were riding en route to Baltimore overturned at Belair Road and Helson Lane, Sunday.
The injured persons are: Mrs. Mary Harris, 60, and Laura Winder, 2502 I street, N. W., Washington, D.C. The two women received their injuries when the vehicle in which they were riding overturned when it had a head-on collision with another. They were treated at the South Baltimore General Hospital.
Decoy Letter Traps Annapolis Man
Robert L. Perry Charged with Cashing Employer's Orders.
A decoy letter "planted" in the mail by post office inspectors was the undoing of Robert L. Perry, Annapolis man, who was held this week by Federal authorities.
Following complaints that orders were being missed, inspectors sent the letter which was found to have been taken by Perry. They claim that his practice was to withhold a number of letters in which he had reasons to believe there were orders and later have them cashed. He is being held.

a refrigerator, an outdoor toilet, and a fireplace. This photograph shows to what depths Laurel cemetery, once the pride of Baltimore, has desecrated. In the background can be seen the monuments marking the graves of Bishop Daniel A. Payne, Bishop James A. Handy, and many of the city's leading lawyers, physicians and business men of a quarter a century
so high are weeds and grass in the cemetery that in many places, monuments six feet tall are entirely covered.
Often when there is a funeral in Laurel, grass and weeds must be burned in the vicinity in order to clear a space for the mourners around the grave.
Last week workmen began placing a stone for the late Dr. George W. Kennard, whose grave was formerly unmarked.
In other sections individual lot owners have been at work cutting undergrowth from the graves of loved ones.
According to the caretaker, only 30 of 1500 lot owners pay the $1 a year necessary for perpetual care.
