The World Theater poses to the theater and adds that the picture is a "fine and simple record of this most emotional race."
At the same time, "Hallelujah," was also shown at the Embassy Theatre, downtown, audience there "braved at some of the stranger sequences of Negro life."

15,000 IN JAMAICA CHEER GARVEY
U.N.I.A. Leader Quickly Squelches U.S. Insurgents
JAMAICA. B. W. I.-The Universal Negro Improvement Association (unincorporated) set up by Marcus Garvey in Jamaica, is separate and unincorporated. S. U. organization of the same name.
This is Marcus Garvey's answer to the suit of the minority U. S. delegates to produce his books in court. The suit for back salaries went against Mr. Garvey who was fired for insult of court, but has appealed.
The big audience of fifteen thousand, cheered every Garvey sally.
Attempt of M. Smith, delegate from Detroit, to explain minority view was greeted with curses from a side. He was also greeted as it is in America is hopeless: "If some of you delegates from America refuse to send any contribution to headquarters here when you re-commission it, you will not hurt Marcus Garvey," he added. At this point, the delegate already mentioned, interrupted the speaker. The eyes of all the other delegates were at once turned on him, and he was struck by the commitment violence, but were prevented by others acting on the instruction of the speaker. The speaker, referring to the delegate, asked if Marcus Garvey will give you a fight from which you will never recover. You have come here with your clique but if you think you are going to pull anything over Marcus Garvey, you are sadly misled. You have been told by I and I will pull every chair from under fellows like you if you think you can stand in the way of the Negro. Several delegates again rose to the debate, but were prevented. A voice (referring to M. Smith) "You should have been dead."

Producer Loved Twinkling Toes of 'Blue Baby'
NEW YORK. (WNS) —
Pleading guilty to a charge of paternity, Irvin G. Miller, comedian, theatrical producer and recently elected president of the Florence Mills Theatrical Association, 115 West 131st street, was imprisoned on Wednesday, August 14, for 24 hours, until $1000 cash surety could be furnishe.
Miller appeared in Special Sessions Court, Part 1, on a summons served on him by the mother of his child, Miss Louise Williams, a member of Russell Wooding's Jubilee Singers appearing in Comedy's Hot Chocolates now playing at the Hudson Theatre. Miller is 37 old and Miss Williams is 12. The child a baby girl was born to them in New York City. The mother declined to say if she had given the child its father's name.
S19 A Week
The $1,000 surety is conditioned for the fulfillment of the court's order to pay the child's support until she is 16 years old. Arrears of $276.60 were paid to the court for payments of $723.40, or sufficient to cover payments for 72 weeks. At the end of that time, the court will double the surety to $1,000 surety, to be paid by Miller.
Miller Denies Summons
When interviewed at the Florence Mills Theatrical Association, Miller decided that he had best seen the character that he had gone to the court voluntarily for the purpose of having his weekly payments reduced from $12 to $10 a week. Miss Williams asked the court for an increase, but the court reduced the payments to $10. Miller said, "when they held me until the $1,000 bond was put up, I have naturally tried to avoid any publicity in this matter, and did not expect the court to allow it." The producer added that the incident will delay several of his important plans.
The cash for Miller's release was

He is certain to force Martin to make his annual report as grand prize urer before he makes the annual report exalted ruler. If Martin makes the slightest attack upon his administration, Wilson is expected to unleash a savage counter-attack upon Martin, Holstein and all those who are opposed to him. The one who will be the availability of funds. If the treasury is depleted and there are no funds with which to pay henchmen for services upon grand lodge committees, Wilson faces a serious situation. If there are funnels, his return to office is almost
Martin Has no Funds
Wilson's friends admit that Martin has no money belonging to the grand lodge. They do no say. Wilson has no money belonging to the grand lodge funds. They rather give the impression that Wilson has directed that no grand lodge funds be turned over to the barrons. He has hit the barrons known in the convention for such an order.
Wilson Won't Talk
Wilson Wohl convention on the advice of his grand legal adviser, Perry W. Howard, has suspended Fort Dearborn Lodge, of which Martin is a member, for failure to pay its annual tax. This report could not be filed together. Howard will continue or deny the report. For the first time since he has been grand exiled ruler, Wilson will make no statement. Howard is evasive.
Holstein Valuable
Another report that is being circulated here is that those who persuaded Holstein to oppose Wilson will withdraw their support from him at the last moment, and switch to the other. They do not believe that Holstein can win. His avocation makes him too vulnerable as a candidate. His nativity is also being used against him. He is a West Indian.

To the Editor:
Have been interested in your articles about the United Bus line.
I thought perhaps you could emulate me of this discrimination. Is it true as rumored that the Hub and Hechts have closed out all colored charge accounts? Will watch the AFRO earnestly for reply.
A READER.
HECHT ISSUES DENIAL.
When asked if the Hecht Brothers were closing out colored accounts, Mr. W. Mellchil, supervisor of the Credit Department, replied: "That is absolutely untrue."
FROM HUB CO
Moses Goodman, general manager of the Hub Department Store, which is owned by Moses Hecht and operated by the same company. Hecht Bentz, the Hub Department said Wednesday: "We are not authorized to give a statement to this effect. Mr. Hecht, the president, is in Europe at present. He will be back 'about the middle of September. He is the one to see about it. You see, anyone who presents to object to severe criticism for handling such a matter in any way."
TIME TO VACCINATE
SCHOOL CHILDREN
Health Dept. Advises Parents Not to Wait Until School Opens.
CERTIFICATE NEEDED
First Grades Must Have Proof of their Age.
With the opening of a new school term drawing near, parents are reminded of certain requirements for school admission which should not be postponed until the last minute, the Governing Department said in a bulletin this week.
The first of these requirements is smallpox vaccination. The law in Maryland forbids any teacher from accepting as a pupil a child who has received a certificate of successful vaccination. Vaccination is also required in all parochial schools. Parents are strongly advised have children vaccinated now rather than to wait until schools open. By having a child vaccinated now rather before schools open, the child's vaccine toward healing when he begins to attend school. To have a child vaccinated now, he may be taken either to the family physician or to the clinic in which the child lives.
Birth Certificate
The second school requirements is proof of age. If the birth certificate left at the house by the Child Welfare Nurse short after the birth, it may be used as proof of age it be used as proof of age. If this certificate has not been kept, the parent may obtain a birth certificate card by going to the north room on the second floor of the Lexington and Holiday streets, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. on weekdays or 9 a.m. to 12 noon on Saturdays. Parents should not put off this trip until the last day because the likelihood of the room being provided.
Diphtherla
A third duty of the parent is diphtheria immunization. Though this is not a legal requirement, it is a moral duty which every parent should heed. Diphtheria is the most dangerous of the "catching" diseases of school children. Diphtheria immunization may be performed either by the family physician or the Feinstein Clinic. The Health Department sends request cards home for parents to sign.

"BUSINESS IS FREEDOM," SAYS DR. MOTON
Negro Field too Much Occupied by People of Other Races.
CHAIN STORES
Retail Expansion and Survey, Year's Work. INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. — Pointing out that business is the road to freedom and independence for the race. Dr. R. R. Moton, president of the National Negro Business League, urged the group to turn its major attention to this field in the immediate future, in his annual address Wednesday.
In his address, Dr. Moton ceclared that the directory of national organizations annual report lists 153 annual conventions held in districts of the country. Of this number 83, or almost exactly one, represent purely business organizations, yet there are not more than 3 business organizations among the large number of national societies in
This does not mean that our people are giving love to civic duty, welfare and health, but it does mean that business is being neglected," said Dr.
Other Races
Cooperation Trend
"As we move over the whole field of business in America, the outstanding tendency is towards cooperation; that is, towards the development of great business organizations in which the retail merchant keeps in the great enterprise keeping the advantages of the scale scale, buying, vertical organization and distribution. The day of the small independent merchant has passed. The one of the future for the Neuro business man, as for all business become identified with these vast organizations and to go along with this.
Efficiency
Then always, everywhere, is the matter of efficiency, which means industry, reliability, honesty, intelligence. There is no room in America today for slim-sided methods of distribution must be used, and for buying, to selling to accounting, to advertising, to gritting that makes for diminishing the cost of operation and for measure of service at the lowest mean.

300 Business Men Discuss Retail Merchandizing
National Negro Business League to Boost Chain Stores Next.
LOYALTY IS PLEA
INDIANAPOLIS. — With more than 300 practical business men and women in attendance, the National Negro Business League ended one of the most serious and far reaching studies and discussion of the future business of the group that have ever taken place in the history of the organization here last week. This session of this organization, organized in 1900 by the late Booker T. Washington, and which at present has 163 local organizations in 34 states affiliated, was one of the organizations, delegates generally agreed.
Gets Slogan
A slogan, "Organize, Advertise and Patronize," was offered the body by Harry H. Pace, president of the International Company of Chicago. "We must," said Mr. Pace, "organize our business regularly. We must advertise our business regularly. And we must advertise larger quantities from Negro merchants."
Race Loyalty Plea
The slogan suggested by Mr. Pace provoked the one outstanding debate during the session. Supporting him in the contention that Negro business was inferior to white labor, were F. B. Ranson of the Walker Manufacturing Company and Fred R. Moore of the New York Ace. Among those who took issue with him were Roy J. Barker. Kansas City grocer: Bert M. Reddy, vice president of the League, and Glaude Arnett of the Associated Negro Press.
"The Negro buys everything the white man buys." said Mr. Moore, "and he buys from white people. It seems to me that the white man buys everything the Negro from the white man and directing him how to buy from his own particular group. The white man has got the Negro gripped so that the Negro who wants to go into business is in business because the Negro will not go near him. All the big Negros around here will go into a white store before they will a Negro store. Negroes have failed who have had the same kind of goods as the white man and married because the colored people in their communities preferred to do business with the other fellow, preferred to strengthen the white man rather than give opportunity to their own sons and daughters."
"Buy Where We Get Most"
"We buy where we get most," declared Burt M. Roddy, in answering Mr. Moore.
"Now in Pensacola, Florida, Sam Charles' shoe store is on the main street. Walk into Sam Charles' shoe store, and if you stay there an hour you will find ten customers of the other race. Two of them Go to Reed Barker's store in Kankakei. We see customers of all groups."
Give Trade to Others
"The Negro does not think about capital when he goes to buy." returned P. B. Ramson. The Negro thinks intently about how to buy. He goes to buy. Of course, there are exceptions, but the fact is the Negro is still a victim of slavery and slave ideas. He needs and must have a new and real emancipation if he is going to take his place in Philadelphia. "Someone said something about service, quality of goods, and all that. Go with me to Lenox, Massachusetts, Philadelphia. Wiley avenue, Pittsburgh; State street, Chicago; Market street, St. Louis; Indiana avenue, Indianapolis. Observe the Jewish and Greek stores in the heart of the weakness of the product, the rottenness of the goods in many instances, and the high prices charged. Then see those stores packed with Negroes. Then the situation is facing. Then the need of denying it."
Can't Sell Race Loyalty
"Negro business men and women need not hope to capitalize on color. If a Negro buyer can save by trading in goods, he merchant if he cannot, we should not expect him to do so. If we think a Negro is going to spend his money with us because we are Negro merchants, we are weaklings. We placed entirely too much emphasis on race loyalty and not enough on
"Courteous treatment, promptness in looking after the customer's needs, fair and just prices, honesty in representation and weights, cleanliness display of goods, and cooperation between employees. An employee couple, empathy, vision ability to absorb ideas from other business and enthusiasm will bring success. We can get out of our business what we put into it."
Needs Study
That Negro business needs study was the main thought put forward by Charles S. Johnson, director of the department of Social Research at Fisk University. We know what enterprise can and what cannot readily succeed. Quite as important, if not more important than knowing what businesses are still alive, would be the malady of the more than those which are gone. It would have been a valuable part of the survey just completed by the National Negro Business League if it could have chartered the identity of the unsuccessful businesses and thus conserve the wasks of the
future. "Again...it appears that we are ig-

Have beautiful hair like hers
One of our friends tells us that her hair once nappy, short and ugly now is her pride—admired by men—envied by other women. Hi-Ja Quinine Hair Dressing, used regularly, resulted in two inches growth the first month. Soon it was long enough to dress in a pleasing bob that is entrancing.

Kansas City's new half-million dollar municipal hospital will be ready about November 1st, according to Dr. Howard Smith, former Baltimore, but now a practicing physician of Kansas City, Mo., and superintendent of the Municipal Hospital. Dr. Smith was in the city last week to attend the funeral of his sister, Mrs. C. F. Citzgerald. The new building, which is eight stories and located at Twenty-second and McCoy streets, cost $90,000 to erect. Contracts are now being 'let for its equipment. There will be eight nurses and two student contracts were let for sterilizer, X-ray and kitchen equipment to cost $33,000.
In the present hospital building he says are ten interns. The new student nurses now employed will be increased to sixty and the graduate nurses from six to eighteen. There are two house physicians. The payroll of the hospital is $5,500 year and the city also appropriates an equivalent sum for operation.
The city pays $2.90 a day for every free patient treated. Baltimore pays for free patients in Provident Hospital. Dr. Smith is a stunner Democrat and points to the fact that city election figures in the last presidential election were lower than the colored people of Kansas City voted the Democrat ticket.

JEWS BESOUGHT TO RECONSIDER TRIAL OF JESUS
Sanhedrin Would be Called to Pass on Evidence.
11 YEARS NEEDED
7 Years of Hearings, 4 of Deliberation.
DENVER, Colo.—Review of the ancient trial of Jesus, 2,000 years ago, is suggested by the organization of a Jewish Society for the Promotion of the Divine Mission of Israel, here by Solomon Shwayder, Jewish lawyer-manufacturer.
According to Shwayder, Jews for generation have felt the displeasure and affliction of the reproach that they crucified Jesus.
According to Shwayder this state of affairs can be remedied by a frank righteous review of the life of and trial of Jesus by a Samhain-in composed of seventy-one leading rabbis Jewish scholars and laymen of the
After the court has been organized no less than seven years should be taken for the reception of evidence and arguments from all sources: Christian as well as Jewish and when all evidence and argument has been presented no less than four yeras thereafter should be consumed in cool deliberation of the record of facts and the arguments produced in their support. before a final decision shall be made.
The great Sanhedrin should review the historical circumstances surrounding the trial of Bass and hear arguments that could be presented by Christians as well as Jewish scholars.
NO STATUTE OF LIMITATION.
According to Shwayder, no statute of limitation should apply because two thousand years, even though a long time in the sight of man, are but a day in the sight of God.
If the Sanhedrin would find Jesus not guilty, according to Shwayder the Jews would turn back to their king with joy and triumph and present such a miracle of conversion that all nations would come trooping to the feet of Jesus. If on the other hand, the Jewish supreme council would affirm the Jews that it could not save the Jewish people from the most violent persecution by every nominal Christian throughout the world.

Faulkner's Loyalty to Liberia Doubted, Says Dr. Lyon
Place to Air Alleged Irregularities Is in West Africa, Not in America, Which Has No Jurisdiction. Slavery, Peonage, Lynching, Race Prejudice Are U. S. Uls Needing Attention.
To the Editor
Some weeks ago there appeared in paper a publication purporting to come from one Thomas J. R. Faulkner, a naturalized Liberian citizen of American birth. Faulkner ran for the presidency of the republic and was defeated by C. D. B. King, the present incumbent, against whom he directs his vitriolic attacks. Ordinarily, no importance should be attached to these news articles referred to by either the Liberian government or its citizens. It is too well known that governments and their administrations are never free from unjust attacks and drastic criticisms, dissatisfied and disappointing, and Faulkner seems, from the character of his interviews, to be related to this group.
LOYALTY DOUBTED.
Well informed people will seriously doubt the loyalty and patriotism of any citizen, who employs his time in a foreign country in giving out interviews intended to cast a stigma upon the administration of the affair of the country. No worthy motive can be assigned for this impolitic and ungenerous procedure, since this country has no jurisdiction over Liberian political and domestic affairs, especially when represented by a private citizen of the country, criticized. LIBERIA THE PLACE. The place to air these irregularities in the affairs of Liberia and not America, which has no more jurisdiction over Liberian political affairs than Liberia has over American political affairs. U. S. APPROACH IMPROPER. Liberia is a sovereignty and is responsible to its citizens for the conduct of its political affairs and Faulkner should have known the impropriety of his approach to the Washington Department with matters
America has enough of its own affairs political and otherwise to consider and regulate and therefore can have no time to attend to other people's business of a private character. Peonage and disfranchisement, senatorial and congressional irregularities in the last quadrennial elections, lynchings, racial discrimination and lawlessness, which have attracted nation wide consideration, are sufficient to occupy American public space. There can be but avert from every sensible person relative to these interviews in question, that the writer, using the most charitable language, showed bad taste and poor judgment.
SLAVERY, PEONAGE.
However, the charge that slavery and peonage exist in the republic possesses humanitarian features and Liberia is too sensitive to attacks of this nature to allow it to pass without, official notice.
In a recent cablegram I am assured that the government will go to the bottom of this charge and is appointing an international commission to consist of one American, one German, and one French, it is hope is by the Secretariat of the League of Nations upon the request of the Liberian government.
OFFICIAL STATEMENT.
The Libarian Secretary of State, Edwin J. Barclay, authorizes the announcement that this commission will be furnished with wide powers to inquire into conditions which have led to the persistent reports of the government of the United States, a courage by the government and practiced in by leading citizens. It will also inquire into the question of alleged forced labor conditions. This inquiry will finally put at rest any uncertainty on the questions raised. The government, authorized by the Libarian Secretary of State, Edwin J. Barclay.

The estimates of both Mr. Smith and the other contractor were lower than Mr. Gehrig's who were working. Then questioned concerning the often awarded, it is alleged that the board replied that because Mr. Gehrig had been doing work for several years in the community, it was thought best to place the work in his hands.
The board has been severely criticized for taking this stand, and it is reported that the presentation. Addison was opposed to the award. It has also been reported that Bishop Galens may be appealed to.

300 STUDENTS IN NEW WESLEY AND STEPTEAU ENGLAND SCHOOLS BISHOPRIC TIMBER
Figures Show 200 Per Cent Increase During Last Decade.
BOSTON "U" LEADS
High Cost of Education Felt in Larger Institutions.
BOSTON, Mass.—(ANP)—(By J.W. YOUNGBLOOD)—In rand numbers, three hundred Negro students, attended graduate schools, colleges and universities of New England the past school year. This is approximately a 200-per cent increase over the number of a decade ago.
While Harvard, Yale, Brown, and Dartmouth for men, and Radcliffe, Smith, and Wellesley for women claimed a large majority years ago, smaller institutions not so well known, but whose curriculum, nevertheless, were equally as full, and structures equally unadjusted supecede the number of Negro students today. For instance, more Negro students attend Boston University than attend any others.
Whether or not this leaning to the smaller schools is due to the more rigid entrance examinations of the older universities or the policy of restricting and selecting applicants to the greater schools is not generally known.
High Cost
One conclusion definitely arrived at, however, is the fact of the increasing high cost of education in these larger universities. It is well nigh impossible for a poor student relying on his own resources to work and pay his way through Harvard today. The students are not only true poors but applies to poor whites as well.
In the past, many Negro students by sheer pluck overcame these obstacles and even attained high honors in scholarship, but even then they had the moral support, if not the financial aid, of a more or less sympathetic publicponon which could go out its way to find work for the struggling black collierian.
According to the reports of many of the Negro students here, even if they are successful in getting work on the side to augment their financial needs, in most cases they must do so without their employers knowing they are students. Even in scullion labor, the employer claims that students only work as a temporary means and are therefore undesirable or unreliable employees. Few of them backed by influence and pull man-age to get on as red caps, porters waiters, dish washers and other odd jobs.
Of the eighteen or twenty who are in the college department at Harvard, none here time to work his way in work. This, however, is due to the fact that the studies are so rigid and voluminous.
Students say times are harder and harder here for poor boys and girls. most especially for Negro boys and girls.
54 Years A Preacher
WASHINGTON, D.C.-With forty-six years in the ministry behind him, Dr. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, Washington, celebrates his 78th birthday August 30th.
He was a slave until he was 14, when the emancipation gave him his first chance to attend a school.

"I asked God to use me for good."
Dr. Brooks has traveled widely here and in England, Scotland and France. He has a good library of which he says:
"I consult books for special information but aside from my Bible I do little reading."
He says:
"I find sympathy for the lowly, faith in God, absolute confidence in the darker race to rise to any state attainable by man."
Politically, he defines his position as Republican when that party is with him and right.
"I am for the right with any party or no party."
Dr. Brooks married Mrs. Florence H. Swann, of Washington, D.C., in 1815. The children are Warren Randolph, of Akron, Ohio; Mrs. William H. Terrell, wife of the brother of the late Judge Robert H. Terrell; Miss Julia Brooks, teacher in Dunbar High School; Mrs. Louis A. Mitchell, of Paris, France, and Albert Brooks.

ADMITS PERJURY
Had Granddaughters to Swear Falsely to Rape Charge.
MILITIA CALLED
Ten-Yr. Sentence Given Despite Frame-Up.
CENTREVILLE, Tenn.—Admission on the part of three white women that they had sworn falsely, the summary withdrawal of two prosecuting attorneys, and testimony given by an aged white widow that Turley Wright had broken in and assaulted htr after she had refused to accept his $150, were part of the sensational proceedings which ended with a ten-year sentence for the accused here last week.
With 100 state militia standing guard to prevent a lynching, Wright was brought to trial on the charge of Mrs. Zora Lynn, 55, white, who testified as the defendant at the night of June 22. Wright came to her home early in the night and declared that one of the granddaughters was wanted on the phone. He then called to tell her to call that night he asked her to let him in, stating that he had $150 and would give her a part of it. if she would let him in. This testified that she refused and Wright left. Sometimes between 1 and 2 o'clock that night, she said. Wright returned, forced his way in the house and afferred compelled him to stand at bay, completed a criminal assault upon her.
Admits Periury
Following the testimony of the two young women that they had witnessed the assault, two white men testified the latter until an hour after the assault was supposed to have been committed. Faced with this evidence the young women testified that their testimony had been given on the request of the grandmother to help her "make a case" and that it was false. The widow also admitted that she had sworn falsely. These admissions threw the court into confusion and Robert Brown and his wife were needed with the prosecution, immediately withdrew, declaring they believed the whole thing a frame-up.

ALLIES OPPOSE LUTHER MANUEL
COHEN'S NAME CERTAIN TO WIN
FOR LIBERIA DIVORCE SUIT
Appointment Would Mean Loss of One Federal Plum.
TEX. BACKS MOVE
White Man Wanted for Customs There.
WASHINGTON, D. C. Mention of the name of Walter L. Cohen, comptroller of customs at New Orleans, La., in connection with the vacancy in the ministership to Liberia has created consternation among his political friends to the extent that some of them will oppose his appointment, firm in the conviction that they will be acting to his best interest. No one knew of his being a candidate for the Liberian post. Information that he had been mentioned for the place came from the State Department. It was learned that Emile Kuntz. Republican national committeeman for Louisiana, proposed Mr. Cohen for the place.
Cohen-Kuntz
Cohen and Kuntz have been political allies. It was Cohen who brought about the selection of Kuntz as a member of the Republican national convention. For years in Republican politics Cohen was regarded as the national committeeman in fact and Kuntz as the national committeeman in name only. He was never tired of this relationship and broke with Cohen, casting his lot in the last pre-convention campaign with the "ily-whitees" supporting President McCain. He also led the "black and tan" faction and supported Vice President Curtis for the presidential nomination. Kuntz and his faction were recognized at the Republican national convention. Cohen himself was given his seat in the convention, but his domination of the Republican organization in Louisiana was ended.
Kuntz no Ingrate
Kuntz, however, is no ingrate. He wants to show Gohen that notwithstanding their differences, he is still his friend. He, therefore, proposes Cohen to be the United States minister and consult him. He will pay $500 a year, but he Kuntz will have it increased to $10,000, although President Coolidge and Secretary of State Kellog failed in their efforts toget an increase in salary of the minister to Liberia. Friends of Cohen plan to thwart Kuntz in his purposes. They say they have supported Mr. Kuntz, very seriously, but they cannot support him for the Liberian ministership.
Loss of One Plum
His appointment as minister to Liberia, they say, will mean the loss of one of four Federal offices requiring confirmation by the Senate which colored Republican nominees in the race to lose any of the few places now held but desire additional places for Negroes. If Cohen should be appointed to Liberia, a white man would succeed him as controllor of customs, and that would be a loss for Kunzit to have Cohen sent to Liberia. It is stated.
Furthermore, they say, the sending of Cohen to Liberia would be his death warrant. A man his age, they claim, was killed in a tropical climate, of that country.
Want Younger Man
Appointment of a young man as minister to Liberia is generally favored. He has had business experience, has tact and skill in the conduct of affairs, and will reflect credit upon his race, the Republican party and the country. The currency in the Liberian ministership was caused by the death of William T. Francis from yellow fever at Monrovia of June 1924. He was the secretary of the legislation, is the American charge d'affaires at Monrovia.

The Hampton (Virginia) Institute Ministers' Conference is behind a movement to have Chaplain Lawrence Fenninger returned to the institution after the Rev W. R. A. Palmer, pastor of the M. E. church, at Bridgeton, N. J., vice-president of the conference.
The Rev. W. Palmer was in the city attending the M. E. church institution College.
Chaplain Fenninger, as executive secretary of the ministers' conference at Hampton, offered his resignation several weeks ago to take effect August 31, the Rev. W. Palmer stated.
Mr. Fenninger organized the conference sixteen years ago to afford opportunity to ministers of all denominations and discussion of the common problems which they are facing in their work.
Only a few score men responded to the call the first year. Last year there was a membership of 468 Christian states and sixteen denominations.
According to the Rev. W. Palmer Chaplain Fenninger was sponsoring one of the most important in the country and should be allowed to carry it on.
"The last ministers' conference just closed is the last in which I shall execute secretary. I want, therefore, to thank all of you who have helped to make our Ministers' Conference Christian gathering through which light and peace have been spread abroad. Of my deep regret, in leaving Hampton, where I have labored for fifteen years, is that I shall

Money for Walks.
‘The president has added several buildings,
some fine walks and. some rather picturesque
shrubbery, but failed in building up the spirit-

the academic year 1926-'27 over $6000 was spent

‘added to the library.
‘During 1928-29 $500 was budgeted for the

students in library fees, and yet less than $800

Crossing the Color Line.
By KELLY MILLER
Several months ago, 9 Negro ec-

resides asserted that five ta

over the racial divide into the white
race.
‘A nationally known publicist, whose
word carries wide influence and
weight, In a recent contribution to
the New York World, quotes these
figures as being approved by the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People. Figures
of arithmetic are often used with
the same recklessness as figures of
thetoric.
In order to reach some. inteligent
basis of judgment on this problem.
let me challenge the reader of this
article to take pen and paper in
hand and note down and count the
number of cases which have come
under his personal observation or
knowledge during the past year.
‘However, there will be no need of
pencil and paper. ‘The naked fingers
(the first text-book In arithmetic)
will suffice’ for this calculation. In
no case will all of the fingers be
needed to tally the count. Let my
genile reader then foot up the cases
which have occurred during the past
ten years. ‘The result, will be sub-
stantially the same. :

Dr. Maybelle Weaver took AFRO- refused a gift of a free offer made by the railroad company and would carry the matter to the court if necessary. She declares that the price offered is too low considering the fact that this company will take this charge and that when they move they will have to start all over to develop good will in a new location. Another resident who has not yet volunteered for this school is Rabbit Cook high school teacher, as Presstman and McCulloh Sts. Mr. Cook declares that the manner in which his home is constructed makes it more valuable that the general type of building he is adjoining him at 2003 McCulloh street, sold for -8,500, it is said.
McCard Home

Other owners who have accepted the price offered by the agents for the company are Barlow, 2004 562 Pressman street.

The seventh chapter of Jack Perrin in "The Vanishing West" will also be shown.
Dunbar
"Father and Son"; "The Divine Lady"; "The Iron Mask";
"Father and Son," a marvelous tale of paternal devotion, is the film that will grace the screen of the Dumbar Theatre Monday and Tuesday.
Wednesday and Thursday, "The Divine Lady" will be shown. This picture tells the story of Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton, and of the great victory at Trafalgar that won the battle of England and cost it the life of its greatest admiral.
Glowing with color, both musical and scenic, dramatic to the extreme, filled with tender love passages alternating with the din of battle and the clash of highly-strung temperaments, a virtual page out of history, the story of a love that was too great for life—these are features of the picture which have been crafted for Emma, Lady Hamilton, presents a characterization greater than any in which she has hitherto been seen.
Douglass Fairbanks will appear Friday and Saturday in "The Iron Mask," one of his greatest characterizations. In this Dumas picturization, Fairbanks once more plays the role of D'Artagnan, the dashing French hero of the 17th century, and again he rides with the Athos, Porthos, and Aramis through years of intrigue, war and love.

NATIONAL WILL BROADCAST
SOUTHERN NEGRO MUSICAL SERIES
Ken-Radin's Caddis Night, a new serial of the musical musicals of the South, will make its debut over a wide network of stations associated with the National Broadcasting Company. Monday night, September 10:00 to 10:30 p.m.
The old music of our group in the South and interpretations of modern music must be heard each week from 10:00 to 10:30 p.m. as well as the most interesting of any of our American music.
The drama and music of the series, with scene laid in Kentucky, written by Dana Willett, will center about three main characters:
Willie, decidedly dilatory, but a pianist without a peer, is "visiting" his sister, Mandy, after a clumsy performance. New music accords to his story, as it was on Broadway as the lights.
His visit extends into what might be termed a permanent residence, due to the doting of his sister, but causes frequent battles between heresies. He is a man of name indicates, is an easygoing, lovable chap with but two passions, to get Willie to work, and his love of music. The latter, however, inevitably overcomes the former. Willie's lastness arises. Easy is quickly subdued by Willie's playing. Sometimes it is the old plantation melody, but frequently it is "brand new" music just received by Willie from New York. And, as usual, Easy forgets bible books just always foot and join in the melodies.

SERGEANT LANDIN
PHILADELPHIA — Thirteen years ago Gergent EDHIA Landin led the 30th yearly encampment to fight for democracy. This picture was taken then as Landin marched through the streets of Baltimore.
Last week he sued the Mastbaum Theatre, 20th and Market streets, and the Stanley Company of American for false imprisonment and malicious prosecution and asked $5,000 damages.
Landin's home is now in Lawnside, N.J.
He took a seat with his wife and daughter in the theater and refused to move when an usher told him he would have to go up in the balcony.
A policeman was summoned and arrested Landin.
J. Austin Norris, attorney, is handling Landin's case without fee. He has also offered his services without any colored patron of Philadelphia theaters who has been arrested in seat.
Theaters in Pennsylvania are barred from discriminatory seating arrangements under the Civil Rights Law.

SHOW CLOSES SEPT. 15
Six Months in Chicago, then Broadway Again.
Stage Manager "Blackbirds" Co.
PARIS- Going into the eighth
week, "Blackbirds" is still the hit
of Paris, Adelaide Hall, Paris says,
is another Josephine Baker.
"I Can't Give You Anything But
Love," sung by Alda Ward and Louis
Cole is the hit. Louis is some boy
over here and the writer is very glad
to see him make a hit as he is the
one who put the boy on the stage
some four or five years ago.
Party after party has been given
the "Blackbirds"
Those who have seen this show as well as the press say this is the best show Mr. Leslie has ever had, being "the best to Broadway." In speed, and pen.
On the Steps
The one and only Eddie Rector is the dancing hit of the show on the steps and how he does it. It is just too bad.
The Barry boys who just came on the show are in the spot that he's and how the boys do go. Tim Moore who is one of the funniest men, that has that bark, is in the papers daily. Mantin Mgrin is getting his night-
"Snake Hips"
"Snake Hips," (Earl Tucker), is as usual the one folks like to see. Peg Bats is the take with his one leg and his dancing is just too bad. The Four Bad Men are just the same in Paris as they were in New York—a hit. The chorus is sure doing her stuff to the big hand in Bandana Babies with Eddle Rector. Miss Hall is the show in "Diga Diga Do," and how she puts that number over. She has no one to compete with as she is in a class by herself. Mr. Leslie, when putting out No. 2 "Blackbirds" looked for weeks for another Addie Hall, but there is none just like her and no one else. She is the lady and that is what makes the whole show like to work with her. If other stars would only forget and not let things go to their heads, there would be a
HAVE NEW THEATRE
Princess Theatre, Eager and Bond Streets, to Open Saturday Afternoon.
A gala opening has been planned when the new Princess Theatre, at Eager and Bond streets, near Gay, opens its doors to race patrons with a matinee show, Saturday.
The theatre, formerly a white house, is one of the coolest family houses in the city and will be operated by the Klein Amusement Company, operators of a chain of theatres throughout the city. A big Lon Chaney special has been picked for opening day and there will be in addition an "Our Gang" comedy, featuring little Farina, juvenile race star
Low Prices
Prices have been set at a low scale, an admission of 10 cents being charged adults until 6 p.m., with a price of 15 cents from 6 until 11 p.m. Children will be admitted at the entrance and matries will be held every day, with the last show starting at 9:45 p.m. The house is equipped with a large Wurlitzer organ and with its balcony has a seating capacity of close to 600 people. Morris Klein, manager, informs that a Royal Amphitone sound apparatus can be installed on an early date, and that high-class bill of the best obtainable feature photoplays will be maintained.
Mr. Leslie also has another he can't duplicate and that is Miss Ald Ward who is also liked by the company and her sweet singing is the take of Paris.
There never will be another cast like "Blackbirds No. 1 if you are trying to get Halls Wards, Moores and Goodwin who are the best stars the show business.
Back to Chicago
Well, here is the answer, "Blackbirds" run will end in September 15 then to Chicago for six months and back on Broadway. Mr. Leslie is fine and liked by all and knows the business from A to Z.
Let's not forget we have Ruth Johnson, who is chorus director and what a chorus we have. Good looking and works well with you.
In trying to get through before the overture, I overlooked the hit of the show, "Porgy," by the "Blackbirds" Chorus.

DANCING IS BEST
Razors, Pistols, Cops, Dishonesty Riles Visitors
By L. K. McMillan
PARIS, FRANCE.-The Fisk group of nineteen, save two, went to see "Blackbirds" last Friday night, July 26th.
They are playing in a popular theatre, located in the heart of the gay city. Both the theatre and the players are advertised with conspicuous electric signs and posters. Additional bills and posters are circulated thru the city, announcing the presence of the Negro performers.
They are the hideous signs that one finds in towns like Baltimore, Richmond, Norfolk, and Philadelphia, making believe that the Negro of the yesterday is still here.
The theatre was pretty well filled. There were some vacancies, but not a great number. A number of the patrons were Americans and other English speaking people. In that much of the performance consists of action even those who did not understand English could get just about all that was to be gotten from such a cheap and simple affair.
Orchestra Half and Half
The accompanying jazz orchestra is about half colored and half white. The director is a white man; the wind instruments and the drum and the piano are manned by instrumentalists by whites. On the left of the director are seated the whites and on the right the colored. One exception is the man playing the bass horn; he sits on the left of the director. Another distinction between the raga and the orchestra is that the Negroes wear red ties and grayish brown suits while the white men wear white dress shirts and semidress clothes. A Negro girl dressed in a loud skirt dress, rolling eyes, eyes away on a big skirt of red ripe watermelon. A huge-mouthed fellow blows a saxophone. To be sure there were scenes from "dear old Dixie." Chief among the jokes are graveyard scenes or stories. Games and pictures are often placed together with little acts of dishonesty, razors, pistols and policemen.
St. Louis Blues
Something of beauty is brought out in the "St. Louis Blues" and the scenery which accompanies it. Possibly a better name for this song is "Sun Down Blues." The large group of performers make it throw its distinct darkness they swing bodies in rhythm.
Another good feature of "Blackbirds" is the dancing of the men. The Perry boys and the other two individual stars were all called back more than once.
The blackbirds" is probably doing more harm than good. It is giving to Paris the wrong idea of the typical American Negro. The southern white man has assumed the attitude of laughter toward the Negro. To him the Negro is funny. When the Southerner is not laughing at the Negro he is mad with
The Northernner in America even till now takes the Negro more seriously, although even he has assumed something of the attitude of the southerner. The danger in such shows as "Blackbirds" is that they will give generally to white people, the attitude of the southerner.
She Adds Heat to "Hot Chocolates"
Baby Cox, Harlem debutante, who is playing a stellar role in the popular all-Colored musical comedy, "Hot Chocolates," that is still holding its own on Broadway.
"Show Boat" for Road
NEW YORK—The New York principals of "Show Boat," will be seen in the roles that they created when this most famous of all Zeigfeld productions is taken on tour. Jules Bledsoe, of "Ole Man River" fame, the jubilee singers and the colored dancing girls are to resume their places as in the original company that played in more than a year at the Zeigfeld Theatre on Tuesday. Rehearsals have been called and "Show Boat" will open in Newark, N.J., the early part of September.

OWNERS SEEK TO KEEP BLOCK RESIDENTIAL
Residents of 2500 Block, Block Issuance of Grocery Permit.
Owners Would Keep Street Residential.
Residents of the 2530 block of Madison avenue, led by Mr. Charles Proctor, at 2539, have been successful in having the permit for a grocery store in their block, canceled by the city officials.
A protest was addressed to Building Inspector Hammond, signed by 25 property owners living in the block. It contained four grievances against a request for a permit to convert the first floor of the dwelling at 2538 into a store front.
The building is at present occupied by the whites who wished to operate the store.
The protest contained the following objections:
1. A grocery store would depreciate property value in the said neighborhood.
2. A grocery store would mar the beauty of the 2500 block of Madison avenue.
3. A grocery store on the proposed site is a grocery store since there is a store at 2556 and another at 2436. Another store would increase

Baltimore Visitor Says Race Members Live and Work With Whites.
Rutland, Vt., 36 Miles from Ex-President's Home.
"I'm Rutland, Vermont, there are only twenty race residents, in a population of about 17,000," said Mr. W. A. Noble, of that city, last Friday.
Mr. Noble, had been visiting his sister, Mire. Geo. Dotson, at 6010 Prescott avenue, Govans. He left last Friday to return to his home.
Near Coolidge
Mr. Noble's home is: just 36-miles from the of ex-President Coolidge.
There is practically no race prejudice in his city, the New Englander said. One may go where he pleases, without suffering any embarrassment.
Several of the residents are stewards in clubs, one is in the window cleaning business. Another operates a car washing shop.
"It is necessary," said Mr. Noble, "for this man to employ white boys as helpers. Some of them he picks up and come to town. But he generally drops out after two or three days, because of home sickness.
"There is also a trained nurse in our city," the speaker continued, "who is making a splendid record for herself. She is a former Howard student. Mr. Noble is employed on a private car, on the Rutland railroad. According to the speaker, there are now only 500 race people in the entire state, although 50 years ago there were 200 in Montpellier alone.

MARY C.
Just now you may have a problem such as this. Mary's writing shows that she learns very quickly, indeed, that she is warm-hearted, kindly, and is very orderly. She has a fine sense of humor, and she can work well on herself. She is hopeful, expects things to be better tomorrow than they have been today. She is not a long way from being quarrelsome, and though she can take care of herself, she is some of the things we can learn from this bit of her writing; and they are things, as you will agree, that will help her in business. She shows quite a desire for a good work position. She reaches out to own, without being shingy. This indicates that she will see opportunities in business, and take advantage of every one that will help her make a good business. With this knowledge, Mary will never make a mistake by going into some school, and getting a good business course. If she cannot do this, she can easily learn shorthand and typewriting, and so get work for good place.
The important thing for Mary is
that she has talent, and now she can go ahead, confident of her own ability to make good.

INNOCENT MAN IN PEN 18 YEARS, HAS NO MALICE
Georgia Assembly May Grant $150 for Each Year Lost.
WHITE CONFESSED
Nordic, on Death Bed,
Told How He Killed.
(Picture on Page 4)
ATLANTA, GA. — While James Richardson, aged far beyond his years, enjoys the comforts of his home for the first time in eighteen years, the general assembly of the state of Georgia is debating a bill to pay him $2,700 for the eighteen years of his life he served in penal servitude for a murder he did not commit.
Old Jim, broken in body, in mind and in spirit, came out of his convict garb too late to be regenerated and today he sits about his little home in Rockdale county, having a burdens on the family which was without his help when he was going thru the prime of his life.
No Malice
But Richardson is not remorseful. He is too overjoyed at his freedom. He holds mails toward none. Only love for all. He might in the early part of this century William Smith, a white convict guard in the town of Bolton, a suburb of Atlanta, was found brutally murdered. There were no clues. The police were murdered Smith, from all appearances had been drinking, but there was no indication that Smith was a drinking club or a previous to the murder. No motive could be found. Mob at Work A posse started one of the greatest man-hunts in the history of this section. Somehow he came to Smith's home, hard-working cloaked man, with a wife and several small children living a short distance from Smith's home. Jim, too, had been drinking that night. The posses put two and two together and Jim was charged with the murder of Smith. Jim was alone. He had no friends. He had been a day laborer and it took his every cent to provide for his family so the employing of a lawyer to defend him was out of the ques-
Young Lawyer
Jim went to court and the judge appointed for him a young lawyer of little ability and do not know his kind had been murdered and they did not care who paid the penalty — revenge was to be had and Old Jim paid the price. In those days a colored man charged with the murder of a white man had little chance even in the courts. Richardson's lawyer figured he would be punished for the death penalty if he entered a plea of guilty and sought mercy, though Jim himself insisted he should plead not guilty to his sorrow. Richardson took the advice of his court appointed young lawyer and entered a plea of guilty and an appeal for mercy to him in a sentence of life imprisonment.
In Coal Mine
So Jim Richardson went to prison. In those days prison meant day after day, week after week, month after month of drudgery and toll and abuse and cruelty. Georgia like our eastern states was a convict system and Richardson was leased to a mining company to dig coal. He went to the mine. His daily task was fixed at five tons and was made up of equipment, if he brought down the wrath of civilian guards who treated him cruelly and took from him what few privileges were allowed convicts. Through ten long years Richardson went down in the hills put pity, Sick and he had bring out that five tons daily or he did not eat. Turpentine Camp
As he grew older his strength gave way and the authorities finally were convinced that he was unable to go on at the mine so he farmed in South Georgia where his keepers were just as cruel and his tasks almost as

I am eighteen and deeply in love and in trouble. My girl insists on going to dances and flirting with other boys. Now, I do not eat for dinner, tell her she shouldn't act the way she does but then she gets angry and tells me she doesn't want to see me any more.

The trouble is, D. Y., you've picked the wrong kind of girl for your nature. Most lovers stumble into love, and if it doesn't turn out well they feel thwarted and disillusioned. They feel it is a reflection upon themselves that they could not hold their love. It IS a reflection, but upon their love they can't attract and hold love. And because of some unfortunate affair of this kind a man may develop an inferiorly complex that will ruin his life. Pick a girl who has some tastes in a man with your own, who wants the

Everybody Wants To Be A Doctor Says Medical Head
Profession of Dentistry Goes a Begging. Only 50 Graduates Last Year From Colored Schools.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (By Charles Thorpe, ANP) — In a statement issued to press here Tuesday morning by Dr. John J. Mullowney, president of the Meharry Medical College, the lack of a sufficient number of dentists and the lack of interest on the part of youths who are qualified to pursue the study of dentistry were scored severely.
The number less than fifty Negroes graduated from the various dental colleges of the country gave rise to the statement on the part of Dr. Mullowney, who pointed out in June, 21 completed the course at Meharry, and 19 at Howard University.
A Tragic Situation
"There is a distinct need of dentists among Negroes throughout the country and the number who graduated last June would hardly replace those who have died during the year or retired from active practice on account of age. Negroes are the lack of interest on the part of students who are qualified. The waiting lists of practically every professional school applied to the college for the college of medicine and surgery, while there is a scarcity of students in the dental schools.
"The reason for this is more than a lack of time to determine. The dental field offers one of the most promising careers both from the standpoint of financial returns and opportunities to render real service. Year after year, a large number of writers from prominent citizens in various cities and localities urging us to send some of our dental grad-

almost unbearable. he carried on.
Connet Leasing
For many years the leasing of convicts in Georgia had been bitterly opposed by the righteous people of the state. Investigation after several years all the them asked that it be abolished. Finally it was and the convicts were sent to the state prison farm at Millett to chain-gang campers over the state.
Road Building
Jim Richardson was assigned to a road-building camp at Griffin in Spalding county. Here he met keepers who were killed in the attack, though in prison was human, too. Jim remained there the last year of his servitude. Shortly after Jim sent him to Griffin, Jim became a member and former neighbor of Richardson and Smith, was dying in Atlanta. He called for William Carmichael, also a member of the Griffin community and Moore. Moore said he had something he wanted to confess.
Dies Begging Forgiveness
To Carmichael Moore confessed the murder of Smith. He died with a prayer on his lips and begged the forgiveness of man he loved. Wrapped, Jim Richardson.
The confession was promptly laid before the state prison commission and the governor and a full parson was granted a free day for him and his fellow convicts when the papers came and a happy day for Richardson's now grown children who were waiting at the new home in Rockdale Park.
$2.700 Will Help
Jim Richardson hopes the state will see fit to pay him for the injustice. He said he would not back out, but that the $2,700 appropriation will be approved.
But will it it pay him for all the suffering and hardships of the eighteen lost years? Richardson is too good to say it won't. He says it will help.

tale means of ascent, I scampered to the cache where I had planted my defensive packing case. It was there wet, safe and unarmed, grape it up and scampered round a sound point. I stood on the front, from which point the din was still proceeding from the horn, though the clatter of the running gear had ceased. Lights flashed on the front of the little old Ford where it loomed at the front gate through the driving rain. With a sibilant "shushing," meant to deter the peace- and quiet-destroying driver from further assault on the stormy atmosphere. I intended to quiet Alec by assuring him of my presence and then to establish a perfect alibi by being seen emerging from the Ford by any might come out of the trunk, the informal and quiet the racket.
But as I stuck my head inside of the car, the noise suddenly stopped, and I looked with startled eyes, as was the rest of the car, as my starling, startled eyes soon told me. Yet the noise had been going on when I first stuck my head inside. No driver—no humming—could have been suddenly. I felt my blood go cold as I stepped back to the ground. Then, from the house toward which I faced, a sudden blood-current I burned and started forward in a very frenzy of terror. The front door of Beal House was thrown violently open and a figura staggered out into the night.

It will only be asserted that if this source of income was removed from the group, the Negro will have only himself to blame. Diligent efforts are being made.

ROY BOND LOSES HIS ELK DELEGATE SEAT
Monumental Lodge Recalls Credentials for Backing Wilson.
NO RACKETEERS
Holstein and Martin to Be Opposed.
Because he invited Grand Exalted Ruler Finley Wilson to Monumental Lodge meeting Tuesday night, delegates' credentials for Roy S. Bond have been recalled by the lodge.
have been brought greetings to the real lodge and response was made; be William Lewis who attacked Wigson's record. Mr. Lewis is a candi-
date for the office now held by Mr. Wilson. Friends say he has not made a nation-wide campaign but is expected to divert votes which might otherwise go to other candidates.
Replying to Mr. Lewis' attack, Mr. Wilson said he will suspend the lodge. The Elks' order he said wanted racial violence. He was thought to refer to Cass Holstein, who was kidnapped in New York recently by the "underworld."
Woman on Communist Ticket
NEW YORK—Fannie Austin is the Communist party candidate for alderman in the 21st aldermanic district.
She declares the Communist party shows itself to be the friend of the Negro by being the first to nominate a colored woman for municipal office.
A. E.
Counselor Roy S. Bond, special district deputy of the State of Maryland, and delegate from Monumental Lodge No. 3, assisted by John H. Murphy, Jr., exalted ruler of Pride of Baltimore Lodge No. 713, will leave the city Saturday for the Elks convention at Atlantic City next week. Both are stalwart supporters of the state's stalwart institution. Mr. Bond expects, to swing the voting strength of his lodge to the present grand exalted ruler after the usual compilatory vote has been paid to William Lewis, on the first ballot.
"Numbers" Racket
Nice luck left my door this week as nary a one of my numbers would come out.
The closest I come to hitting was on Wednesday when I had 173 instead of 371. As 173 was one of my "random" numbers, I did not play it in combination, and consequently lost a chance to collect 21 bucks. And I just look at that 321 of mine. But thanks the way it goes in this number business.

BOY SCOUTS OFF TO SUMMER CAMP
Troop 275 to "Rough It" Two Weeks in Gaithersville, Maryland.
PLAN MORE TROOPS
Committee Has 75 Boys on Waiting List.
With 22 members of boy scout troop No 275 signed up for the two weeks camp training at Gaithersville, the first contingent of 14 boys got off Monday of this week.
The camp training of the local troop ends the first year's activities of the first regularly organized boy scout movement in Baltimore, and its success may be judged by the fact that since organizing the troop up to full standard, there has been 75 applicants taking training, many of whom have qualified for the tender-foot test and will become boy scouts as soon as several new troops contemplated are set up.
At the camp the boys will be put through the regular scout training and in high opportunity to put into practice such woodsmanscraft as they have learned during the year. The work will be educational as well as recreational.
Make Plans
At a meeting last week with W. Perry Bradley, Bradley, Executive for Baltimore, the committee went over plans for expansion 'of the scout movement in Baltimore. A review of the first year's successful work of the committee, with R. Maurice Moss as Scout Commissioner, was made and it was generally held that set a solid foundation for colored scout organization here. William N. Jones, Managing Editor of the AFRO-AMERICAN, was selected to carry on the work as Scout Commissioner for the second year and the committee will be enlarged to meet the needs of increased troops. Boys who got off on the first week's camping were Elbert Carter, Hughes Curtis, Clifton Bush, Benjamin Lor, Charles Taylor, William Wood, Lane Evans, Francis Charles Hynson, Blake, William Simmons, Louis Louis and assistant scoutmas- J. H. Coles.
Members of the Scout Committee are W. Dougless Johnson, Chairman Miles W. Conner, Francis M. Wood William N. Jones, Thomas Smith Osborn Jackson, Jackson S. Bond R. Burice Moss and George B. Murphy.
Y.M.C.A.NOTES
Two More "Y" Members Leave for New York Camp
On Monday morning, August 19th, two more members of the Boys' baptism gift club of the New York M.T. city club, which is located in Stratensburg, N.Y., about seventy miles up the Hudson. The fortunate boys were, Lewis Taylor, 1108 Lafayette street, and Charles Hardin, 1809 N. Mount staircase, both following Labor Day. They were interested in attending this camp largely through the inspiring letters which they had been receiving from Calvin Page, 1327 N. Greene st., and Mrs. Page, the boy's mother visited the camp last week, and highly recommended it as one of the finest camps for boys in this part of the country. He received one of the campers of the camp, he had this to say about Calvin: "Calvin's nickname is 'Baltimore Pee Wee.' He has learned to swim, and has passed his test to be swimmer a mile in circumference. Pee Wee is also a marble shooting shark. He entered the tournament here and is headed toward the championship. All in all Pee Wee is one of our best campers."

Good Morning Judge,
Blind, But Not
So Very Dumb.
Stanley Wilson is blind but not so very dumb, it developed in the police station this week.
Stanley had just visited his girl friend, Miss Bertha Adams, 770 Sarah Amstreet, and was picking his way down the street when he was seen with another girl.
It would not have caused so much trouble but that Stanley had been seen with the same girl on another occasion, and being blind, was not supposed to see and recognize the very same girl over and over again.
When Miss Adams got through using the bromstick-on Adams, they took her to the police station, where she was fined $10 and costs.
It Was White Mule Which Kicked Him
Police believe that they have solved at least one of the many cases where some unknown person is mysteriously in the Northwestern police district.
When William McDaniel, 337 W.
Biddle street, flagged officer Schubert
and told his story of being beat up
by some unknown person, that officer
took a long sniff and McDaniels
landed in the station house after he
had been taken by the detective. Hool
lainel was found that the mysterious "person" that had made
him see stars was nothing less than
"white mule."
Booze Wrecks Booze.
When John Booze, 172" Madison avenue, in a drunken cen...tion, fell against the china closet in the dining room of his home last Tuesday. he received a badly cut wrist. He was treated at Provident Hospital and later sent to his home.
Grace Fell from Grace.
Mabel Grace was among those present when penalties for disorderly conduct were distributed last Wednesday at the Eastern police station. Miss Grace and William Coleman, 1143 E. Pratt street, and Alfred Brown, 200 block S. Caroline, were each committed to jail.
Preacher Lays
No one could blame the Rev. Wm. H. Johnson, 1113 W. Franklin street, for laying his Bible down for a few minutes las! Friday.
Johnson happened along just in time to see Charles Sexton, 53, 1608 Charles terrace, walk up and grab the former's wife, Mrs. Mary Johnson in a manner that made the parson think he had some kind of leave or license.
But when Sexton started to administer corporal punishment to the minister's mate, that was the limit, and they all had to tell the judge about it the next morning.
It developed, according to testimony, that Sexton did know his vegetables and the magistrate fined him $10 and costs.
Had Cold Job;
Got Hot Watch.
Allen Orange, 809 W. Lexington street, boy ice vender, had a cold job, police say he got hot things, and he was haled into juvenile court, this week.
Mrs. Hattie Burns told the court what when Allen laid down ice for her he also picked up a watch.
CHARGED WITH NON-SUPPORT
Henry Pinder, 618 Hauser street, charged by his wife, Mary Pinder. 641 Hauser street, with failure to provide for her and six children, was dismissed. James Powell, 1005 N. Mulberry street, streaked on a warrant, sworn to his wife, Berdella Powell, 214 N. Stricker street, for non-support of herself and three small children. Case continued to September 21st.
FAIRVIEW MEN FINED
There was not enough view in Fairview for Ernest Lucas and Wm. Bradley, so they tried to see it in Baltimore. But their visions were saddened when the judge said $10 and costs for disorderly conduct.
SIX MONTHS FOR CUTTING
Frank Crittenden of Bedford. Pa. thought it best to settle his little argument with Henry Taylor, of 867 W. Lee street, last Friday, with a knife so he was sentenced to six months in the House of Correction.

Fans Anxious for Yokely-Rossell Pitching Duel.
Despite he fact that they are bringing up the rear in the American League caravan, the Cuban Stars, who face the Black Sox in two games here Sunday, are certain to furnish plenty of competition.
The Black Sox, with their revamped lineup are expected to be ready to defend their laurels in the first position in the league standout. The outfield combination of Washington, Dixon and Pete Milton or Burbage, will be on the field of Wilson, Warfield, Lundy and Marcelie, should be clicking on all sylinders. Clarke will be behind the bat in the first game, the batter will be behind the bat, the batter will very likely take the field for the second contest. Fernandez, the iron-man catcher of the Cubans, will handle the shoots of Sox. The Cubans boast of some sluggers in Alfonso, Corea and Barca, the ABC of the Cuban nine, and Fernandez, consoling the Cuban aggregation on the local lot. Baltimore fans can look forward to two fast games Sunday afternoon.

CHICAGO. — Albert Poindexter, who played this year with the Chicago American Giants, the Memphis Red Sox and Gilkerson's Union Giants, tried suicide last week by taking bichloride of mercury. He was believed to be despondent over his failure to make good.
PHILADELPHIA — The Baltimore Black Sox, with Yokely on the mound, eked out a 4-3 victory over the Lincoln Giants, here Friday. Hankie Haney, the New Yorker, was nicked for 12 safeties, while Yokely yielded only half as many. The Sox scored one run in the first inning, and one each in the third, fourth and fifth frames. The Sox scored two in the second and third innings, and from that time on nothing but goose eggs resulted from their efforts to score.

Manager Moulton, who did the receiving, had his finger split open in the sixth and had to leave the field. Bananas Robinson was hit hard and driven into the sixth. Spices Sharp finished the game.

Francis Pool Natators Prepare for Neptune Club—Pool Attendance 23,173
WASHINGTON, (C. N. S.)—The first of the two ('All for Glory') meets which the Francis Pool has scheduled as preliminary affairs to prepare the athletes for the championship Water Carnival in August uncovered a new potential star in Edwin K. Bruce, who swam on last years relay team but did not place in any other event in 1928. The pool was a yard free style, the dive and lowered by two seconds the Pool record of Frederick Douglass in the back stroke. The record will not be allowed however because the swimmer was paced.

WILL FIGHT AGAIN
Brown Panther Will Stick to Game He Loves
WASHINGTON. (CNS)—Harry Wills, the Brown Panther of the boxing ring, now 37 years old, has grossed $350,000 in 16 years in the squared circle, it was revealed recently in an article prepared by Harry Grayson, white sports writer.
"Writing of the man, who for years was known as the 'Black Menace', Mr. Grayson says:
"He looked strangely familiar across the floor of Billy Grupp's Harley Davidson gym. Could he be Harry Wills? Yes, sir, there he was—the old brown panther himself, pulling, and tugging as of yore.
Will Fight Again
"Johnny Dundee and I are suffering from the same aliment," Harry said, mopping the perspiration from his arrows forehead. "I am sure we ourselves out of this racket. I'm going to fight again. Guillen I'll stick to it as long as my health is good." Willis will be 37 next January. He's black menace always believed in himself as such and still takes pride in the distinction. He takes exception to George Godfrey's name being used in black menace discussions. He is able to title the title and wants no dark shadows cast on it.
Godfrey Only Fair
"From his conversation you gather that he considers Godfrey a cheesy menace—only fair and not in a class with the great colored outfits of the men in the back: Sam Langford, Jack Johnson, Joe Jennette Sam McVey, Battling Jim Johnson, Jeff Clark and Jack Thompson.
"Bering Jim was a native of Virginia, but operated here."
"He weighed 235 pounds and was the toughest of the lot, explains the stewardess. The to the decision went the other way, best back Jack Johnson in 29 rounds in Paris.
"Wills speaks highly of Clark, the Jopling ghost 'A remarkable fighter for his inches,' says O'Malley. Weighing no more than 60 pounds, he fought the best. Thompson was dangerous when stirred to action.
"Godfrey has had more opportunities since Jack Johnson and has failed to take advantage of them. Can you imagine Langford in the same ringer with Renault, Sharkey, Paolino and Risko? We would have knocked all them out of the building or ball court."
"He's 44 now, but if he could see and was given the chance he'd punch more holes in the current crop than he could have. Paolino? He, Ho Why That? could knock out that kind by feeling at them. Langford flattened Godfrey when he had to feel around to locate George. He couldn't hurt it. If Godfrey was the fighter he is pictured, he could belt out fellows like Renault. Sharkey, Paolino and Risko. I knocked out Fulton when he was at meant something and beat Firpo. "Wills points out that Jack Johnson never gave a colored man a break when he was in a position to do so, and declares he would have met Godfrey from a promoter o'cute to put on the match
Chasing Dempsey
"The Jack Demsey-Jim Dougherty break—sincered up—was caused by the old champion's refusal to tell Wills to shiplog Ghourel as a means of getting him out of Har. He was on Demsey's heels like a faithful hound at the time.
"The I was at my best five years before. I solemnly believed I had a chance with Demsey in 1926, exchanging thinking no doubt of all the money he missed. I am not complaining, he I think I would have been a much more formidable fighter had I not been given the run around. I was confident to good form. A fighter must fight to improve or hold what he not. I lost heart when Demsey and other good white heavyweights refused to meet me. I made money chasing Demsey but as much as has been reported My biggest purse was the $150,000 I collected for the Firno match. I probably crossed $230,000 but as much as I would have made that much in one evening had not Demsey passed me up for Tunnel."
"PERFECT" PITCHER FACES 27 MEN

There will be no East and West world series baseball games to establish the mythical Negro champion, according to Dr. Howard Smith, well-known baseball fan, of Kansas City, who was here this week.
Failure of the American League of the East to keep its contract agreement, with the National League, will be the result of broken relations, Dr. Smith said.
While the West is willing to play and eager to play the East because of the interest of baseball fans, and because of the good of the game itself, the breach between the two leagues is too wide to be healed until Dr. Smith cited the case of 'Jelly' Gardner, with the Bacharachs, Rozell, now with the Cubans and outfielder Jackson, all National League players, who have jumped their contracts in the West and are now
This is despite specific agreement between the two leagues not to employ contract jumpers.
**Baseball Situation Fair**
The baseball situation is fair in the National League, Dr. Smith said, although Detroit was struck a severe blow through the burning down of heath care facilities.
The Detroit team was drawing big crowds until the misfortune. Next year there will be either a new park or the team will be permitted to use Nevin field, the home of the American League team, white. The team will st. Louis the best week-day baseball town in the Western league.
Umpires
On the question of colored umpires, Dr. Smith said: "Out of the 100,000,000 white people in the United States there are 24,000,000 white men. Every year the white National and American leagues have trouble finding them as baseball umpires. That is just one out of every million.
"If they have their troubles, hire and fire men because of incompetency, why would not the colored league expect to have the same difficulty? The failure of one or two colored umpires should neither despair the fans nor the owners. We ought to keep on trying until they can get the proper kind of men. In Kansas City we have been training a local man for three years to serve as a second line player, helping the main work at present and is eliciting满意 satisfaction."
FOUR UMPIRES USED AS CHIEFTAINS WIN
Lambasting three pitchers to all corners of the lot for a total of thirteen heavy clouts, the Chieftains subdued the Elkridge, Pleasured by the team's tenure at kennon. Hall, for the Chieftains, pitched a steady game and his teammates gave excellent support, only two errors being committed, both by Marshall.
Armstrong featured at bat getting two triples and a single out of four tries. Rally by Elkridge in the fourth netted them four markers, but the Chieftains came out of an ellipse in the fifth and scored six tallies. The game was marked protectorial, and the team was in a change of umpels upon four different stages of the game. Those umpings were: H. Curry, G. Waters, J. Waters, and finally H. Hopkins, said to be the manager of the Elkridge

WITH a demonstration of superiority in every black Sox game, the Black Sox two contests from the Bacharach Giants by 7-2 and 8-4 scores from Maryland Park, Sundays game being forfeited locals, following an argument over a colored ball.
The first contest had gone to the seventh inning, when with two outmanagers to the Baylor of the Bees to the bat, Smith, been hurling good ball for the labs, eased across two strikes and two balls on "Uncle Ben." There were two outmanagers Taylor protested to Valley. Smith was tossing to him was too back discolored for him to see it.
But Umpire Pike said, "No," and when the 'shore manager would hearken to the decision of the latter the game forfeited to the Black Sox.
Script Lee was master of the victors in the nightcap, holding the Albright and Shields for elec-
blings and eight runs. Two doubles by the Sox, stifled what change the Bacharachs had for catching with the Ward-hitting local outfit.

HORSESHOE ARMIES IN BITTER BATTLES
District Eliminations Find Many Good Players Being Weeded Out.
GET PENNA. AVE. LOT
Hagerstown and Frederick Districts in Action.
Late bulletins from several horse-shoe battle fronts, inform that the list of casualties in the district eliminations is mounting higher and each day.
Brock saw the opening of hostilities in four new sectors. Districts have been organized at Westminster, Frederick and Hagerstown, on the western front, and locally at the ground formerly occupied by the Nokia Lumber Company, on Pennsylvania avenue.
At, Westminster, Elmer Myers will be generalist gimbalism, at Frederick, Tony Wagner will be in charge, while in the Hagerstown sector, T. G. Hofman will be in charge, with the opposing forces. Regulation pitching horseshoes have been put in play in several of the districts and pits and distances have been adjusted to conform to the standard rules of play. Play was started at Annapolis, last Saturday and with six teams entered competition in that district should be in the Eastern Sho' have been slow in coming in. It is understood that horseshoes tossers in that sector are priming in earnest for the final matches. In the Druid Hill Park district, John Rich and J. Hall have come out to the third round with points to spare. It is in the district that the field will be cut in half. Over at the Mottu grounds competition is keen, and two sets of shoes have been put into play. It is in the district that the field will be registered and there are many good players in the surrounding territory.
Next week is the last week for sending in entries as none will be accepted after 12 noon. Thursday, August 29.
All district chairman are notified that they are to send in the results gaplayed as they are played so that the records may be bent up to date at all times.
A walk down the memory lane of fiasias is taken by James J. Corbett, who looks down the vista of two years of his ring activity, declares that Peter Jackson was the greatest heavyweight fighter he ever met. At McGill writing in the New York Evening Graphic, says: "Time and again I have been asked my opinion of the greatest fighter in the heavyweight ranks. Time and again I have given the same answer. I have given the same answer. I was Peter Jackson, the 210-pound black from Australia. "There are those who will say with answer to this: 'Certainly, says Jackson, this is one round because with Jackson.' That is too silly to dignify with an answer really, but let me explain why I believe Jackson was greatest of all. Bob Fitzsimmons landed the fluke punch that paralyzed me at Carson City. I had little or no trouble with him. Up to the time Jeffries cloned me at Coney Island, I had little or no trouble with him.
In Mortal Danger
"Against Fitzsimons and then against Jeffries. I was in trouble only ONCE. But against Peter Jackson. I was constant against Jeffries. I was in mortal danger. There was no let-up at any time. Against Fitz and Jeffries I set my own pace. Against Jackson I had to keep up with the blazing knee he established. I ducked and soured got in and away again, making him miss by inches, and always I was in danger.
"That is why I say he was the greatest of all. Others both bothered me a little while; Jackson bothered me and endangered me for thirty solid rounds with every munch that he go. After the thirtieth round, the steam had left both us, but for those of us who were with him, resorting to every trick, every stratagem I knew to avoid disaster.
Long Fight Gave Old-Timers Edge
"It was just such a fight as this one of mine against Peter Jackson that spelled the difference of our day and the fighters of today.
"No. I am not hopelessly rooted in old-time legends, but the fact remains that the fighters of old days knew more about their professors than they knew about the game, never had a chance to learn the full catalogue of punches or never had the opportunity to study pace and generalship. "That was not their fault, understands. "It was simply a product of changed fighting conditions, which

ALFRED WALKER COPS CITY TENNIS TITLE
Triumphs Over Jack Spencer in Straight Sets by 6-3, 6-2, and 6-1.
By defeating Jack Spencer, Morgan College net star, in straight sets against Alfred Walker, 15-year-old Denglux High School, ace, captured the singles title in the closed city tournament, Saturday afternoon.
Walter was decidedly off and he furnished little competition for the diminutive schoolboy, Walker taking all sets with ease. Walker won the singles against E. Jones and Dr. J. Wesley Gaines. Spencer held victories over E. Butler and Walter Shields. He won up in the open tournament, won the junior event by defeating L. Tibbs. Ralph Reckling, champion of the junior division in the open tournament was another winner.
In the ladies division, Miss Pauline Wharton retained her crown by defeating Mrs Elise Wright in straight sets, 6-2 and 6-0. She led the leading two-love when she suddenly weakened. A recent illness handicapped her game, and in the second set she was at the mercy of the stinging volleys that her opponent rushed across the court. Both Miss Wharton and Alfred Walker are at Bordentown, now, taking part in the national tournament.
call for shorter fights and more infrequent fights. They learned as much as they possibly could, but they fell short of the great fighters of our day. Thoughts on Jack Johnson
Thoughts on Jake: I thought how Jack Johnson and I would have shaped up in a fight, if we had both been at our peak in the open end of the fight, we would open to question. Johnson was a fine boxer, an excellent workman. If I had ever fought him, I would have made him lead to him. He won because he made the other fellow fight his fight. I would have kept him moved forward. I have tried to lead him to me.
"Perhaps he would have made me fight the way he wanted to fight; perhaps I would have made him fight my way. That is purely a question. I know that I would have enjoyed nothing more than a meeting with him when I was in my prime."

Hear Me Talkin' To Ya By BILL GIBSON
HAGERSTOWN, Md.-Away, out here where the Blue Ridge Mountains seem to reach their rugged crags through the azure blue sky-line—away out here where you must make your own inversion layer of mud, sand and blubbles, and have hung their tennis rackets on the wall, at least temporarily, in order to indulge in that grand pastime of pitching horseshoes.
To be sure, there were some exponents of the barnyard art of pitching horseshoes, but this result with regularity, these many years, man and boy, and there were also those who had tacked their luck tokens over the door when the horseless wagon made its initial run down Jonathan street—or was it up Jonathan street?
What does that matter? The thing to talk about is the fact that today, when horseshoes are mentioned in Hagerstown, one's memory is not dragged back to a dingy blacksmith shop with husky yokels sprawling under the near-by trees, but to the competition that has begun in the local district in the AFROS state of Arkansas, mentioned in the name of When athletic games are mentioned here, the names of Harry Queen, Ellsworth Miller, or Tom Hoffer are mentioned too, for it seems that they, along with Fred Dozier, have something to do with almost every athletic event shown in the game. Harry Queen that we went, Harry, a former Storer athlete, has taken part in almost every imaginable branch of sport, and while he spends much of his time tinkering with automobiles and jewelry, he also finds time to toss the horses' footwear on the vacant lot opposite his house out on Pennsylvania avenue.
But of course we'd better see Tom Hoffer, too, Harry suggested, and as a result this pair allowed themselves to become part and parcel of the AFRO tournament. So nowadays you'll find yourself tinkering with the tennis rackets up for the day when a champion will be decided, and that won't be long. They do things just like that in Hagerstown.
FREDERICK. Md.—"Woodman, spare that tree," "Fireman, save me chee-ill--ld, but no, 'twas "Shoot not a hair of this old gray head," we believe, that added to the historic lore of this sheltered municipality. The names of Barbara Friethele, the cry now is, "Tony, throw that ring," for the horseshoe pitching gang, with Tony Wagner at the head, have literally made this welkin ring with the sound of the horseshoe against the iron peg. The scall, is one of the town's best athletes, and has had the thrill of seeing his name in print on more than one occasion in the press of both races. And at the new Mimilix Playground around on Bert street, where E. W. Walker is the major domo, the twirlers game of the evening, these enthusiasts gather, in an attempt, to make more history for this already historic settlement. Slow in warming up, this community now seems to be making up for lost temperature and at the rate they have started, there should be a hot time in the Monumental City when their representative presents himself thers for the final round of com-

And when we mentioned the fact to a certain brother of the cloth, that gold horseshoes were being offered as the first prize to the state champion, he spruced up and sald blithely. "Good! That's about the closest some of our folks may ever get to the golden slippers." Now is that nice?
TWAS A PLEASANT SURPRISE when we were informed that our ravings of a columyn or so ago on the local tennis situation, have been articulated by the captain, or something, ch? for an anticipated no such reaction.
It seems that we did not tell any untruth when we disclosed the indifference that has been assumed by the local folk in regard to a tennis organization. Since that was written and that the previous one and there are one or two things of which we spoke that might be cleared up now to the satisfaction of some who felt that they were not clear enough before.
We are told that a number of out of town players WERE invited to be closed here, and that some of them, after having been entry blanks, refused to participate. We mentioned the fact in our other explosion, that if the tournament were made attractive enough, out-of-town players would be certain to attend. That is one point that must be emphasized. That is why WAS made last year to have a functioning year-round tennis organization which would meet, discuss the latest in tennis, and collect a small fee, sufficient to keep a tidy sum in the club treasury. We are further informed that after two score players were circularized and informed of the meeting date, that only two persons, and they were officers, attend-
Last year we timidly suggested that the Progressive Club and the old Monumental Association might do well to merge, since they might find it easier to convince that the meeting was called last year. Stiffness in refusing to concede to a change of name, is said to be the reason by some in voting against a merger. A majority favor the merger, we understand, but are evidently too lazy to come out and strike. One player so well put it, in talking to us: "They hang around all winter and do nothing; then, as soon as the weather gets warm, their first talk is of running a tournament. That's it, but where's the money coming from unless members have been putting it in the tennis Association for months." With a membership of only fifty, and charging a nominal sum of fifty cents per month, the local tennis group could have a sum of $300 in the treasury at the end of the year. Certainly this would be a national investment. If it is not out of order we again suggest that the two groups come together this fall and arrange for some sort of a combine or merger in an effort to put Baltimore the local team group affiliated with the American Tennis Association before another year rolls around and if it is certain that there will be a larger number of nationally known tennis stars who will be willing to come here for competition. The visiting of these stars will again focus the eyes of the tennis team in the national City. After the nationals, suppose we get together and set the ball rolling? That's if we're not intruding.
G
AN OLD TIMER TELLS US that the celebration of the bicentenary of Baltimore will not be held unless there is some reason to remember the memory of Joe Gans, the greatest player of fielding machinery to stick a foot outside of the city walls.
And when the name of Gans is mentioned, it recalls the game little fighters' untimely demise—called by Robert Edgerton, sports writer for The New York Times, Nollan Nolan, of Baskin Nelson, didn't want Gans to be in shape for the lightweight championship and insisted that the Baltimore fighter weigh in at 133 pounds ringside, including his shoes and full-fighting rig. Tex Rardon was managing Gans. And Edgerton felt like to ask that of Joe. He knew what a tough time Joe had gone through making the weight. But Gans said he'd do it. He had to bake and boil and go without water until time to weigh in, ringside, just before the fight. He didn't have any air in his chest, he had a lot of big steak and baked potatoes. He went in, with his tongue as dry as a piece of blotting paper, and his dried-out system trying frantically to sup up the little water he dared down just before fighting.
"Gans whipped Nelson in spite of being constantly fouled—and as a result, we ever forty rounds of fighting under the desert sun. But it was only a parchment replica of Joe Gans that finished that fight and crawled out of Goldfield next day. Gans went into consumption, was beaten twice by Nelson when he had nothing left but his heartless heart—and did nothing to his Arizona desert."
The more we read the story the more we are convinced that the least Baltimore could do would be to make some fitting memorial to the memory of Joe Gans, the Omaha native, ent opportunity is one that certainly should not be passed up and we suggest that the home-comming committee get busy on it right way.
IF YOU WERE AROUND here some years ago, you may recall that two colored umpires served rather efficiently at Maryland Park, despite the wall that good colored umpires have never worked in the park. Umpires Spencer and Cromwell, if memory serves us right, were known for their ability and no greater number of squawks were heard about their work than about the white pires who now draw their checks from the black box management. A Jack Thomas and Hairstone used to work down when also pre-sensational games, but Spencer and Cromwell worked in the regular contests. Why can't we bring back those days? How come?

PICKS HIMSELF TO WIN BOUT AUGUST 29
Keed Hard at Work at His Training Camp at White Sulphur Springs, N. Y.
GATE MAY BE $200,000
Al Singer Rated by Critics as Tough Customer.
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, N. Y... (Special) - Stepping out of the squared circle for a moment, Kid Chocolate the little Cuban explosive assumed the role of dopester long enough to pick himself to win in his fight with Al Singer, white featherweight, at the Polo Grounds, August
It was thirteen an interpreter that the Keed spoke, and there was no misunderstanding about his sentiments. Here, whichever caravan he was with, a caravan of trainers and sparing partners work is the order of the day. With his gang the Keed and his manager, Luis Clemente, he took the lake, not more than a mile from Luther's Hotel, where he will spain in the same ring used by Jack Dempsey, Gene Tunney, Pancho Villa and a host of other fictive celebrities. Chocolate has as sparing partners, Jimmy Slavin, featherweight; Eddie Reilly, 130 pounds; Tony Leo, feather, and Baby Face Quintana banana; and Johnny Bundo Equalor, who has cooked for him every since he began his professional fighting career. The Keed has been doing his roadwork, shadow boxing and sparing partners, to hold his weight of 124 pounds.
May Draw $200,000
The battle between Chocolate and Singer, termed a "natural" when it was announced, is likely to draw a gate in the neighborhood of $200,000, and seats have been put on sale at a remarkable price, selling at $13. Selling at $1.05 will be put on sale the night of the fight.
Bets $5.00 On Self
Chocolate has wagered $5,000 on his own chances of beating Al Singer at the Polo Grounds, August 29. This is the first bet of any sizeable amount Chocolate has ever wagered upon any of his fights, and is taken as an indication that he is the stamina to stay and the punch to put "A" out—notwithstanding the betting odds are seven to five against him.

14-YEAR-OLD GIRL IS STAR OF WATER MEET
Laura Rice Surprises by Capturing Three Firsts and One Young Third Place.
FRANCES MALE BEATEN
Smallwood Outclassed in 50 and 220-Yard Dashes.
With victories in three of the four girls events and a third place in the fourth, Laura Rice. 14, winsome and shapely young swimmer, scored the biggest upset of the day in the third annual city-wise swimming championships, held the David Hill Park Pool for coffeeoon.
Despite the cool weather, more than 300 water fans were out to witness the performances and while no records were broken, never in the history of the pool house many thrill-seekers contested.
Many upsets added to the excitement. James Smallwood went to the wall being unable to place a ball on the floor than a third in the 220-yards. Freda West fared poorly because an infected ear forced her from practice for nearly two weeks. She was just a fourth strong Frances Male. The youthful swimmer annexed two swimming titles the 50 yard free style and the 35-ward back stroke, then added a 50-yard breaststroke, making her high point winner for the day with 16 points.

JAMES S. RUSSELL, Principal
La renceville, Virginia
BY HARRY LEAVETTE
LOS ANGELES, CALIF.-Pending
an investigation by the State Athletic
Commission, of his recent fight here
with long Tom Hawkins, George
Baldwin, and Paul Big truck,
"faces a 20 day suspension in
this state, and the withholding of the
$7,500 purse he was scheduled to
collect for the fight.
The bout was awarded to Hawkins
was the winner of that Godfrey was
deliberately fouling the big boy, and
George was loudly fouled when, in
the third round he sent Hawkins to
the floor, writhing in agony.
He was more vociferously because it was plain to even
the gallery gods of the vast arena
that the so-called Black Shadow
had deliberately fouled his opponent
to save himself from a knuckle.
He was more vociferously because it was plain to even the crowd with the first bell of the first round when a gasp of surprise ran
around the arena as at first blows
they realized Godfrey was his
first blow. The black boy with
only two warts ring experience
Stepping in and out like a bantam,
"Long Tom," as he is called, jabbed
Godfreys head back with lightning-
like, sharpshooting glits
pins, and a roll of fat
Godfreys waistline, soon had
him in distress.
Godfrey Misses
Godfrey tried some terrific swings at the head but missed them all as Hawkins cleverly blocked or ducked. George then began an exercise, body shot, then him a boxing match all the way and won the round by a mile with his clean punches. Coming out in the second, Godfrey began dancing around Tom with a smile of confidence on his face, but Hawkins wiped it off with a stiff
George swung a long right that catching Tom turnning spun him into George's corner, with back turned, but back turned, a right into the pit of George's stomach that buckled his legs under him and started him pitching forward like a diver. Stumbling and staggering as Tom dropped his stomach and casping for breath. Meanwhile, Tom tried to shake him loose as his new manager, Frank Churchill, had promised him $1,000 for every time he dropped as soon as he got his breath. Godfrey began fouling and hit Tom low with deliberate punches. After this third one, Tom dropped to one but when he came back, he told referees McGrath he would try to continue.
Referee Warns
The referee warned Georze as the bell rang for the third round, but Tom with his right as he hit him a hard blow low with his left the minute the bell rang, and he and had to be carried to his corner where the referee raised his hand. Nothing but suction cups from whites and blacks or Godfrey.

DAYS OF RACE UMPS HERE ARE RECALLED
DAYS OF RACE UMPS HERE ARE RECALLED
Spencer and Cromwell Served in League Games to Fans' Satisfaction.
MEN REFUSED JOBS
Cases of A. Jack Thomas and Harry Hairstone Cited.
White umpires still continue to officiate at Maryland Park, despite the fact that two race umpires' here in the city are ready for duty.
J. B. (Harry) Hairstone and A. Jack Thomas, who at one time were employed in pre-season games at the Black Sox Park, still find themselves as arbiters in the Memorial City. Despite the fact that the management of the local nine claims that no competent umpires are available here, these umpires仍 hold official records as arbiters of their ability.
Case of Spencer and Cromwell
Colored umplies have been added to the squad more squawk than umplies of any other race. Spencer and Cromwell officiated there several years ago with no more protest than in-heard from officers at the park—probably less.
The argument that race ball players will more readily respect the decision of the white umpires has been disapproved time and again this season, when players have howled about the decision of the white umpires. Sox team and others are controlled by white capital, it does not seem logical that with a colored team playing to fans who in the majority are colored white, use of white umplies would continue.
Players No Longer Slaves
On the subject of race umplies, the Philadelphia Tribune, answering a critic, says editorially pleasure the respect and courteous treatment extended a Negro Captain of the Fire Department in Atlantic City. We are positive that we do the right thing Negroes would make greater progress.
"White ball players raise Cain at times with white umpires. "The Tcob went on rampages at regular intervals. There was a near riot at Shibe Park last year. But nobody has advocated colored umpires for Shibe Park." The Tribute believes that the only reason the Hildale management has white umpires is because of inferior inflection officials before that everything white is better than colored. Their attitude proves it. As a matter of fact Hildale can secure the services of butter colored umpires but the colored ball players have sense enough to rebel against a unfair white umpire. They might resent the thought umpires that colored ball players will accept any decision so long as it comes from a white man. Thank God ball players are no longer slaves. They do not think that everything is perfect and everything is evil."

Mildred Writes From Abroad.
Mildred McMechen writes from across the water. Wonderful. Did not get reack.
The three meals a day are very appetizing. Everything in courses and the breakfast to me is backward fruit the meat. The wine was wooden sabots. We dance every night—movies every day after dinner. Have tasted all kinds of wine; the beer is good too. The cheese was wooden shocks, looking for sharks, whales and flying fish.

"I like Brussels very much. Was disappointed in London. The buildings were large and dreary looking. The stones were once white but now they are very dark. The architecture is too elaborate for such style of house.
They are cleaning Westminster Abbey and the Parliament building. It looks like a tough job to me. Have heard Big Ben several times. The Thames is very insignificant. London, by the way, is expensive. They are very expensive. In Brussels, the atmosphere is so restful and peaceful. The expressions of the people seem so different.

Catonsville Pines Has Many Attractive Features
What promises to be one of the most beautiful suburban developments is Catonsville Pines on the old Frederick road.
Catonsville Pines has been investigated by such prominent men as, Dr. Ernest Lyon, former U.S. Minister and present Counsel General to Liberia, Pastor of Ames Memorial M. E. Church; William Managing M. E. Aging White; vice president Continental Trust Co.; Francis M. Wood, Director of Colored Schools; Bethel H. Stepthep, Pastor Bethel M. E. Church. According to their testimony, they are on file at Hanoi Realty Co. Inc., at 332 St. Paul street, Catonsville Pines with its environment is offering a rather unusual opportunity to our group.
The Hanoi Realty Co. owns the Catonsville Pines have to their credit the developing of Deanwood Park, one of Washing-ton, D.C.'s most beautiful colored home communities.
As the chief of a development is already safe-guarded by expert guidance they were fortunate to secure the services of Mr. A. S. Greenfield, as Sales Manager, an authority in suburban developments, say he will leave nothing to make Catonsville Pines the most beautiful home community for our group in Baltimore. The restrictions and other provisions has already been put of constitution to fortify and safe-guard values in Catonsville Pines.
The fact that Mr. Greenfield associated himself with Catonsville Pines is sufficient assurance as according to his statement he should not undertake any prospect he has absolutely convinced that he will be able to carry out his plans to a successful finish. According to his past record he claims judgment never failed him yet.

ton, D.C.'s most beautiful colored

As the success of a development is greatly safe-guarded by expert guidance they were fortunate to cure the problem. S. Greenfield, a Sales Manager, Mr. Greenfield, an authority in suburban developments, say he will leave undone one of the beautiful home community the our group in Baltimore. The restrictions and other provisions he has already established has as a sort of constitution to fortify safe-guard values in Catonsville Pines. The fact that Mr. Greenfield associated himself with Catonsville is sufficient to his success would not undertake any procter unless he is absolutely convinced that he will successfully plan a successful finish. According to his past record he claims his judgment never failed him yet.

14-Hour Day in Lumber Plants
Then the lumber industry is quite important in the tri-cities, those are more than 5,000 workers employed of them are colored. Their wages range from 17 to 35 cents an hour. They slave from nine to fourteen hours a day.
Clothing Plant Moves South
In Norfolk is a clothing firm by the name of Sam Findelstein's, which came here from New York City because of labor trouble and which now employs 700 workers, mostly young girls, both colored and white. Their wages are about average from 817 to 817 a week. The girls work nine hours and more a day.
These are some of the conditions in the State of Virginia which show that the militant down here are ripe militant unions, led by the Communist party.

RY, WORKERS PROTEST JOB DISCRIMINATION
Unfair Seniority Rules and Color Bar Charged to Fris-
COUNTRY WIDE
To Organize Workers to Fight Spread of the Evil.
ST. LOUIS, Mo.—(ANP)—Protesting what they termed unfair discrimination which keeps colored workers out of jobs in the Frisco Railway system, a number of Alabama, Tennessee and Mississippi firemen, switchmen and brakemen outlined a campaign against such practice in a meeting here last week.
Unfair city rules where white men have employment in preference to colored men, proven ability, the flat policy of not hiring black men for new jobs and other discriminatory practices resulting in unemployment to men of our group with resulting distorted economic practices when proven naturally aristate were the subject matter of the petition sent the railway management by the committee of colored employees.
This is another step in a year's effort by the men under the direction of R. L. Mays, of Chicago, in their attempt to break down the curricula agile for men in the skilled trades in railway service, which has developed in recent months on several roads where the men have been in the service for upwards of sixty years, from sources unknown or unrevealed, now stand to have all new jobs filled by whites only.
Fearing the possible spread of this disease across roads, the committee authorized a national campaign of organization among colored men of the skilled railway crafts in order to develop more resistance to this economic evil. This national group will assemble at Detroit Michigan, in September, 1930.

STIFF FIGHT LOOMS FOR N. Y. ALDERMAN
Fred R. Moore and Friends Out to Beat Harris and Grenthal.
WANT RACE CHIEF
Say Grenthal Promised to Get Down in 1929.
6NEW YORK—The rumblings of a what is expected to be a stiff fight for alderman and assemblyman in the 19th district, broke through to the surface last week when by a majority of water pilots, the Central Republican club designated George W. Harris and Abruhman Grenthal, white, for candidates as alderman and assemblyman, respectively.
Fred R. Moore and Francis R. Rivers attorney, the defeated aspirants, immediately declared that they would contest the nomination in the September primaries.
The main fight in the 19th, it is said is being made against the district leadership of Assemblyman Grenthal. Race voters in the district declare that the time has come when they need one of their own number to head the party in the district. They also say that Grenthal promised to down its case the fact, however, that Grenthal has been able to keep the support of a number of race leaders, among them the former alderman Harris, makes it certain that the district is to see a stiff fight in the fall.
