Speaking of his opponent, one M. Seymour, Mr. Garvey in his speech delivered throughout the island said: "I am telling you that Seymour is a bad man. (Seymour) is one year ago you should not wait for me to tell you that he is a bad man, because he looks like a typical slave master.

GIRL Gifts of $500,000 The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, February 8, 1930 "Gallery" Colorful Group at Curtis-Fitzhugh Finale Seats at a Premium as Curtain Rose on Last Act of Washington's Latest Melodrama of Domestic Life. WASHINGTON. — Sitting inside the railing, just four seats apart, Monday morning two women steeled themselves for the final curtain, raised in the melodrama which has interested the nation's capital for a week. The judge enters and the final act is on. Over on the right sits Dr. Arthur L. Curtis, immaculate, with finely chiseled face, a little weary looking, showing the professional angles, and beside him his attractive wife, Helen Gordon Curtis. Her eyes, though so weary looking, sparkle, except at times when they become glued to a spot on the floor or glance up quickly as the opposing attorney objects to one of the twenty-five or more prayers sent in by counsel. JURY PICKED AFTER 5 HOURS, ACQUITS MAN IN TEN MINUTES NEW YORK—Out of a panel of 60 jurors, 35 were examined and excused before 12 men could be chosen. A William R. Powers, the federal court before Judge Bondy on the charge of operating a 40-gallon still at 228 W. 143rd Street. Just picking the jury continued almost the entire day, but then the jury heard the case and in less than 10 minutes found the defendant not guilty. Judge Bondy commented as follows: "This man was in 14 days and is found not guilty. Who is going to give him back those days?" Next to her sits Dean George Cook of Howard University, who does not conceal his interest in the Curtis side of the case, and who chats with Mrs. Curtis occasionally. Next is the writer and next to him sits the "Tea Room Girl" fightig, as her attorney claims, "against the field with four handfuls of mud" one of which would brand her as a menace to society, flung at her by defense witnesses. In the charges of blackmail, perjury, insanity and infection with a social disease, stains, in the field, she will have combined upon her the whole sigma of Mary Magdalene, Jazebel and Salome. She sits silent. Once or twice her eyes turn to the right towards the wife and man who, she says, beat her up when she went to his office to adjust an unconventional love affair. She is light brown but looks older than her announced age. On the witness statement has she bared her life and so on. If there ever was that of burning love or cooking words, they are absent on both sides as the drama proceeds. She stifles an exclamation as law yers argue a point, for she has been taken to court. Back of her, on a side seat, sits Dr Kelly Miller. He, too, shows interest On another seat sits Dr. John R Hawkins. The "gallery" looks as if he had been a very special educational gathering. The baffles hold back hundreds outside the door seeking to see the last act. The Judge's Charge And now comes one of the high points in the drama. By his denial or admission, some twenty-five of the Sickow, speaking a distinctly English accent and inspiring judicial confidence, indicates how he shall charge the jury. After the Battle When the simulated legal battle cleared the judge had lost two and the defense had lost two of their main points. First, the brilliant young Curtis attorney, Charles Houston, endeavored to have the judge instruct the jury to bring in a not guilty verdict. This He ther sought to have the jury instructed that the Curtiss had a right to a reasonable assault to eject him from their own home. This point, an important one—he lost the judge indicating that he would instruct the jury that Miss Fitzhugh was bounded by Dr. Curtiss, and that there was no right to forcibly eject her until they had giver her ample time to leave peacefully. The defense also lost the prayer in which it was to limit the character of damages which the jury could find. The shiff lost a point when the court decided that the admission on the part of Dr. Curtiss that he had paid Miss Fitzhugh $40 for repair of gulls to charges of gulls to charges of gulls. He ruled that a p.rison might, under the law, seek to buy peace without admitting guilt. This was regarded as a stubbornly by attorneys on both sides. SCHOOL BUILDING DESTROYED LUMBERTON, N.C.

(CNS)—A substitute for the Ball racial integrity bill which would preserve racial integrity without placing a stigma upon Lo. the Poor Indian, and without encouraging the Negroes to "pass for white," was advocated at a hearing of the State Senate committee on general laws, here Friday by the opponents of the Ball bill which defines "a colored person" as any person in whom there is an ascertainable trace of Negro blood. For two hours and a half the opponents and proponents marshaled an array of speakers for and against the measure. Conditions in the public schools in Essex County were withholdable Negro ancestry are in attendance with the white children were discussed. Law Says One-Sixteenth It was pointed out that under the present law, it is obligatory for colored with less than one-sixteenth of Negro blood to attend white schools, since they are deemed white for all purposes except for purposes of intermarriage. Proponents of the Ball bill argued that the only way to correct this condition was to pass their bill. Otherwise, they said, it would be only a question of a few years before conditions similar to those in Essex County would spread to all parts of the State, and Negroids would be applying for admission to the institutions of higher learning, where would be no way to keep them out of these institutions, if they had less than one-sixteenth Negro blood. 12 Mistaken for White One public school in which the children romped and played with 13 children of remote Negro parentage, twelve of whom could easily be "mistaken for white" was described as a place where "the mongrelization" out that the "mongrelization" of the schools under the present one-sixteenth law, was not only inevitable but imminent. Dr. Richard Heath Dabney, white, head of the department of education, advocated the measure and pointed to Egypt, Portugal, India and Cuba as countries where white and Negro races have lived side by side and have ultimately mingled, to the virtual destruction of the civilization in those countries. He said that he thought persons of Negro extraction would certainly apply for admission to the University of Chicago, where he learned of higher learning in the near future, unless the bill was passed, and added Continued on Page 18.

"Mr. Canfield, the attorney for the plaintiff, did not have a case, so he has been trying the witnesses. Mr. Canfield has asked all the witnesses whether or not they were friends of her.

Cages for Georgia Prisoners Being Discontinued ATLANTA, Ga. (CNN) -Criticisms of conditions in Georgia convict camps has caused prison officials to threat that "cages" for the housing of prisoners engaged in highway construction will shortly be abandoned, was held out by E. L. Raingen, chairwoman of state prison commission, Wednesday. "Cages were adopted because travel was slow in those days and it was almost impossible to keep prisoners on roads and work them on roads miles away." was born shortly after Fort St. Louis was fired upon. Twelve years after the Civil War, Groves entered the Kaw Valley. He was looking for a farm work and started working on white people at a wage of thirty each a day. After a bit he started working on potatoes on shores. So he trained enough to start or climbed harboring a dream of landowners over a plantation such as his heard described often by his peers. Farm of 750 Acres The farm grew to its present size of 750 acres. Groves became known for its location on the Atlantic to the Pacific, as the toking of the Kaw. A feature of title on him and his farm appeared in the American magazine. When the land was acquired in 1925, he left behind him the most highly developed potato land in the Kaw Valley. It lies near the river. In addition to his farm, Indied Groves and his farm 'imaged' wardville as a shipping point. In addition to his farm, Groves has a great 24-room, brick mansion where he owns a large farm, worth $100,000 in construction. Will Be Suh-Divided It is likely that if the foreclosure is granted by the court, the farm will be divided into small tracts and sold to the estate. The "empire" has come on the days is known. Groves left a war and eight children, mags of the married and with families. At it was reputed to be worth $150,000 with mortgage at that time said it was $40,000. The will was a complicated affair which bound the children of losing their shares. The will is specifically directed against the pelling up of the land or the sale of any part of it. By some that the pioneer borrowed money on his farm shortly before his death in order to negotiate a huge cattle deal but the death intervened before he could do so. Others state that he used money during the time to develop a mine in the valley with the idea of selling the mineral to the government, but that development could be completed. Since his death, there have been carloads of candy at the bottom and the carloads of carloads that went from the Green Bottle back brought little more than happiness.

The jury of ten men and two women, all white, was resigned last Thursday almonen when court adjourned for the day, and the case was continued until Monday. The trial was resumed on Monday. Argue Two Hours Argument of counsel was begun Monday afternoon. Justice Siddons granted each side an hour. Attorney F. Canfield of the law firm of詹廷 and Yeatman, representing the plaintiff, made the opening argument. He was followed by Attorney Charles H. Houston of the law firm of Houston and Houston, defending the Curtises. In his opening argument Mr. Canfield reviewed carefully the evidence which had been given in the cases. He declared that he Miss Flitzburgh against the field. He pointed out that points from Howard University, doctors and officials from Children's Hospital, doctors and permanent people were brought in to the defense of Dr. Curtis wife. Muddy Hands He declared that the defense had "our big handfuls of mud." The first muddy hand, he stated, was the declaration that "this woman is a backmailer." The second, he said, as the statement that "she is a perplexer." The third, he stated, was banding her as "socially unclean," and the fourth was the allegation that she is insane. Social Menace Anyone of these four, he said, would make her a social man. But the defense did not miss anything, he declared. They take the lie up and cover themselves, haven't they gone just a bit too far?" he asked. He is disappearing remarks. Mr. Cande explained to the jury that the man was a victim of Justice Sidons interrupted to add that his statement was except as to self-defense, which the defendants claimed. If you find that she has not caused "burden," he said, "no need to worry damages." He suggested that the jury take the testimony, weigh it carefully "and decide for yourselves either or not we have carried our Two Suits He explained that there were two men involving several counts, one being against Mrs. Curtis and the other against Mrs. Curtis, the counts alleged two assaults on Mrs. 1927 by Dr. and Mrs. Curtis in Miss Fitzhugh, the first on Miss Fitzhugh and the second on her second to his office on the same day. He other complaint, he stated, dealt with an assault by Dr. Curtis on the first and the second to his office on the same day. Dr. Curtis denied the assault. He said he was only defending himself from an unreasonable attack made by the plaintiff, that he was defended properly, and also defending his property, with assistance to the plaintiff on July 7, 1927, Dr. Curtis said he was defending his property. Mrs. Curtis said she was defending her husband, and her husband's property, and also denied the assaulted Mrs. Fitzhugh. This abortion, "Mr. Canfield defended is not a subject of the complaint for you to pass upon concerning this abortion wherein we are Reviews Testimony Beaten to Punch Continued from Page One But where is the doctor or the nurse that treated her during the twenty-fourth anniversary that she was conceived in her? "She claims that she has lost her tea room for white people. Where is the first white person that has gone to her and told her that he refused to wear a shirt in the case? When she got ready to give the affidavit to the newspapers, she did not give it to the white papers so that her customers might read it, she told the colored papers so that the patients of Dr. Curtis might read it. Damns Everybody "When she learned that he had been seen with his wife, on May 8 she caused trouble, on July 7 she caused trouble. She tried to get him tried for abortion, on July 6 she followed him from Freedom Hospital; she created a scene. Then she goes in November to the newspapers, then sends pictures to the papers. Then she makes an affidavit. The newspaper and public make an on she strips it off and makes all this filth. Who started to singling the mud? This woman damns everybody in the family of Dr. Curtis. She has an insane desire for vengeance. "Miss Fitzhugh's case has twenty-four years," Mr. Houston closed his case and Mr. Canfield's Summary. "Dr. Curtis, to miss Fitzhugh, to remember anything coming from the illegal operation, that he would marry her. The matter which Miss Fitzhugh gave to the newspapers was after Dr. Curtis is charged with having given them information. Miss Fitzhugh gives that she made in the news articles. "The defense speaks of a tea room. It was back in 1926 and 1927 when she was a teacher, and I fided that she has lost that now. The defense also stressed the fact that she owned a car. But there has been no testimony that she owns a car." Curtis's Promise to Wed "If Miss Fitzhugh had been at the office of Dr. Curtis at any time for an unwarranted purpose, they could have used reasonable force to prevent her causing any damage. But if they had used malice or lack of patience, and used unreasonable force, then you should find for the plaintiff. She went to the office on invitation of the doctor. She was not, there as a trespasser, but she was not, there as a waiter, they beat the woman they said "We will usher her out." "As to her motives, we can find in the testimony that she submitted for physical examinations on the promise of Dr. Curtis that he would carry her if something should happen." "We did not get physical and medical testimony of abortion. Miss Fitzhugh says that she was continued for abortion. Miss Fitzhugh for abortion is that of Dr. Curtis. This is 1930 and the charge made dates in 1926. "I am making no attack on Howard University or Freedman's Hospital. I have great respect for those institutions." Expert Appeared Asleep "The testimony given by the insanity doctor of the defense was hypothetical. The only time he appeared to be asleep was when the name of carbolic acid was mentioned. It was Dr. Curlis before. It was Dr. Curlis before. They tried to make the girl insane. They wanted an alienist to watch her conduct on the stand. The defense has used every weapon to break down the charge of abortion. If the defense could bring in the prescriptions for what Dr. Curlis said they were, the defense would certainly have done so. You think Dr. Curlis said that there are two claims for damages—compensatory damages for mental anguish, degradation, mental suffering, humiliation, loss of time, and loss of business. You think Dr. Curlis should be punished, you can award another sum to act as a deterrent to prevent a repetition." Marylander Weds in D.C. WASHINGTON — James Smith, 36, Tee Bee Md., was married to Miss W. Winn, 63, last week. The Rev. Wm. D. Battle performed the ceremony. The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, February 8, 1930 PSYCHIATRIST IS STAR WITNESS IN STARTLING CASE $20,000 Curtis Damage Suit Came to an End Suit Comes to an End DEFENSE SCORES Every Seat in the Court Room is Taken. (Reprinted from late editions of last week) WASHINGTON, D. C. The celebrated $20,000 damage suit of olive brcwn Miss Eva Fitzhugh, the "tea room girl" against young Dr. Arthur L. Curtis and his wife, was well staged this week. The drama or an attractive girl allegedly betrayed by the doctor to whom she went for treatment for indigestion is playing itself out before an audience that has packed Judge Siddon's courtroom every day this week, cinching the argument that what a crowd wants is sensation and plenty of it. No one is allowed to stand in the court room, but every time a seat is vacated, the hallways always produce another eager to occupy it. The Charge Miss Fitzhugh had her innings the beginning of the week. She charged Dr. Curtis with violent love-making paternity of a child that was never born, intimations that he would leave Mrs. Curtis for her and eventually win a chance of heart that brought her happiness and kicks instead ofgresses. Things Lost Unfortunately for Miss Fitzhugh, a letter alleged to have been written her by Dr. Curtis while in Detroit in May 1928 in which he advised her not to consult any other physician, has been lost. Of course, Dr. Curtis denies he wrote any such letter. Also her coat which was alleged to have been torn during the coron-coron- coron-coron office (with Mrs. Curtis on the doctor's side) has disappeared. Dr. Curtis paid her $40 with which to have it repaired, and Miss Fitzhugh says the coat has disappeared. On Thursday, Mrs. Curtis wore a black satin frock the skirt of which was trimmed with ruffles under her fur coat. Miss Fitzhugh's hat was a becoming turban brown and black and she wore her dress was covered by a Pony coat. Neither of the ladies wore the new frocks with long skirts. Six chairs separated the two who exchanged no glances. Both were standing, the cold court room. Justice Sidons believes in fresh air. Snow blew in the windows Thursday, but the windows were not closed. The windows were closed. The Reporters shivered. Judge Sidons appeared comfortable. Mrs. Curtis Mrs. Curtis in her testimony let Miss Fitzhugh know what was thought of her. "She was belligerent from the beginning," said Mrs. Curtis, describing an interview she had with the husband's office. "Miss Fitzhugh said, 'I am here to tell you that unless your husband gives me $780 I am going to ruin him. He has performed an abortion on me.' I questioned her whether or not she was sure. She replied. Yes, and insisted that she had been the fourth months gone. "I asked her whether she needed money and thought that this was a good way to get it. I asked her to think of her reputation. "She told me, 'You do not have to worry about my reputation. I thought you would have sense enough to adhere to your request. I fused her request and told her that the conference was ended." Over the "Phone" Over the telephone, Mrs. Curtis said Miss Fitzhugh advised her, "I have a son about three or four months old and your husband is the father." "I told her that she was a very probably if she did not know how old her son was. She told me to tell my husband that if he didn't send some money that she was going to kill him. When I first heard of her, it was an abortion, then she had one child, then next she had two children. She would call as much as four and five times during the hour. It was so that we had to leave the receiver off the hook." Hysterical Insanity The defense scored Thursday when Dr. Benjamin Karpman, white, clinical professor of psychiatry at Howard University Medical School, and a staff member of St. Elizabeth's Hospital for the Insane, took the stand portions of the testimony and asked whether in his opinion any person who had done the things alleged, was of sound mind. Dr. Karpman said that such a person had hysterical insanity. Specifically, he used the words, hysterical insanity, person could imagine anything, he said. She could even imagine herself about to become a mother and show most of the physical symptoms of approaching mother, he added. Previously came other defense witnesses to the stand, alleging that an uncle of the sea room girl was insane and insane; that a sister has been in St. Elizabeth's since 1918, a victim of "persuasions and illusions." All Hypothetical Austin F. Canfield, law, attorney, unperturbed because all of this insanity testimony was hypothetical, extracted from Dr. Karpman the admission that he had known Dr. Curtis eight years, had discussed the case with him and had come with the hope of aiding him. Nurse Testifies Miss Mary Carter, a former nurse, with no occupation now was called tis in 1826. I was present when Miss Fitzhugh was treated. There was no attempt at abortion upon Miss Fitzhugh. "Dr. Curtis gave Miss Fitzhugh the tampon treatment. A tampon is made of lamb's wolo. Miss Fitzhugh was given three tampon treatments. I do not know of any other treatment for such kind of cases. I never saw Miss Fitzhaugh at the doctor's office only during office hours." The Operation Telling of the operation, nurse declared Miss Fitzhugh was prepared for the operation in the usual manner and was on the table about 25 minutes. Counsel wrangled over the nature of the operation, which had been performed by Dr. A. M. Curtis, Sr. Canfield—As a result of the operation, was there a hemorrhage? Dr. Curtis—There was . . . I do not know how many hemorrhages occurred. Canfield—Do you recall whether the operation of your father was medical or surgical? Dr. Curtis—It was a medical treatment. His attorney objected. Canfield explained that this is a case of abortion; that Dr. Arthur Curtis stated he did not perform the operation, but his father performed the procedure. "I shall show," he said, "that this is not the proper question. My purpose in question is to show that what Dr. Curtis did is not the ordinary and customary treatment." Houston—It is not a matter of the treatment, but what was done in this case. Canfield—I want to show that the operation was not the ordinary kind. The court here said that it might have been the case if it were not the proper treatment. Canfield-I am not attempting to attack the doctor's skill. But if I can show the jury that the treatment given the patient is not the ordinary treatment, it might reflect upon the testimony of the doctor. Elder Curtis Testifies Dr. A. M. Curtis, senior, on the stand Wednesday, testified, "Miss Pittzham came into the sanitarium in July, 1926. I never saw her professionally until I saw her in the hospital. I did not examine her prior to the operation, because my son had diagnosed the case." When questioned by Mr. Canfield, he stated that the sanitarium was approved by the American Association at medical hospital was not for abortion, nor to complete one nor to correct a condition caused by an abortion. There was no evidence of an abortion. "Miss Fitzhugh remained in the hospital four or five days. Her conduct after the operation was noisy. She was very unruly. Miss Fitzhugh left the hospital without my consent, or rather against my life. I had to leave the minimum ten days. I have not seen her professionally since she left the sanitarium." Cross Examination The elder Curtis said he had examined Miss Filth November 23, 1923, and that she was suffering then from a social disease, for which he had advised treatment. Dr. Loffon Backs Curtis Dr. William T. Loffon testified that he had been connected with the sanitarium in the capacity of anesthetists since 1926. "I made out the regular card," said Dr. Loffon. "The operation was performed by Dr. A. M. Curtis, assisted by Dr. C. M. K. It was not performed for an abortion, nor for correcting an abortion." Dr. Loffon said that he was not a surgeon but that he assisted in surgical operations. President Ready to Name Haiti Probers WASHINGTON—The Senate and House having finally voted $50,000 for study of U.S. policies in Haiti, President Hoover is ready to name the commission. Peved by Hoover's request for so many commissions, the Senate voted the appropriation without mentioning commission, insisting the Haitian situation, President Hoover said that questions to be investigated were as to when and how the United States is to withdraw from Haiti and what it is to do. "Gentally" he said, "we shall withdraw our marines and officials some time." President Hoover stated that there were no problems who wished the United States to "suttle overnight," but said that his advises were that every group in Haiti considers that such action would result in disaster to the Haitian people. In 1915 between the United States and Haiti, under which American forces are present, expires in six years. After that time there is no mandate to continue the present relationship with that country, the President said. Meantime, he said, the United States is obliged to the Haitian people to build up an efficient and stable government so as to protect life and property there after American forces are withdrawn. He proposed for membership on the commission be Bishop John Hurst, Baltimore; Dr. Emmett J. Scott, D.C.; Prof. Rayford Logan, Richmond; Dr. Charles Wesley, D.C.

"ALL-WAYS BALTIMORE'S BEST DENTISTS" PETER H. HARRIS JACKSON, Miss. (ANP)—The disbarment order against S. D. Redmond, attorney and chairman of the Mississippi Republican executive committee, has been dismissed by the Mississippi Supreme Court on Redmond from a Hinds County chancery court order. The supreme court upheld Redmond in all four of the specifications presented in his appeal, holding that there was not any injury or all of them. The entire case was reversed and Redmond dismissed. The four counts against him were charging an exorbitant and unauthorized fee for administering an injection when testifying relative to an alleged contract with a client, pret testimony regarding an alleged agreement with the district attorney or settling of a case, and selling public property.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—(CNS.)—An active program will be inaugurated within the next two weeks of peacetime by the United States who cannot read or write, before the census takers come in the spring. The program will be used in teaching the pupils to write their names. With a hard instrument, the names of the pupil will be grooved into a soft, surface and the literates name with a pencil in these grooves. Several counties in Georgia, pleading lack of funds, refused to provide the census data, stamp out literacy in sections of Georgia before the April census. They turned down the offer of the Rosenwald fund and amounted to $100,000 appropriated by the counties in this campaign.

Douglass's Criticisms of Abe Lincoln Recalled DOUGLASS WOULD BE NO REPUBLICAN TODAY Criticisms of Lincoln's Course During the Civil War, Recalled. G.O.P. ONCE LIBERAL Threw Negro Overboard by Bargain in 1876. By CYRIL BRIGGS NEW YORK—The name of Frederick Douglass is often invoked by the intellectuals and petty-bourgeoisie to cloak their periodical betrayals of the Negro masses to the Republican party, today the principal instrument of their oppression by the white ruling class of this country. "The Republican Party is the ship, all else is the sea," is a phrase from its context and attributed by the proselytizing intellectuals of the Kelly Miller, George Harris, Fred Moore, Ben Davis, etc., in their election campaign efforts to earn their thirty pieces of silver to earn upage among the party which outlived its usefulness to human freedom. In any intelligent estimate of Douglass's attitude toward the Republican Party it is necessary to take into consideration that he often rotten to the core with corruption and the political instrument of the exploiters of black and white workers, was not the Republican Party of the South, whose must be borne in mind when speaking of the Republican Party. Progressive Then In 1860, the Republican Party was still a progressive force. Sumner was then putting through the Civil Rights Bill which was passed after 1860 with the support of the Republican Party. It was not until 1876 that the Republican Party threw the Negro overboard. In that year the Federal troops were withdrawn from the South, following a deal entered into with the Democratic Party. Up to that time the Republican Party had been compelled by the logic of history and events to put through measures for the Negro which it never intended. While the logic of history forced this role upon the Republican Party, the champions of freedom had no alternative but to work through that party. It was the only vehicle available in that period. Status Changed Were Douglass alive today he would be among the first to recognize the changed status of the Republican Party and its degeneration from pro-immigrant to pro-immigrant of the vilest oppression. That he was never a nenchman of the Republican Party is shown in his opposition to Andrew Johnson when the latter was putting over his uncle, John A. Lincoln, the nunciation of Lincoln's silence in the face of the cold-blooded murders of Negro prisoners of war by the armies of the slave oligarchy.

Douglass said of Lincoln: "He was pre-eminently the white man's President, entirely devoted to the welfare of the white man. He was ready and willing at any time during the first years of his administration to cey, postpone, and sacrifice the rights of humanity in the colored people and to promote the welfare of the white people of this country. . . To protect, defend, and perpetuate slavery in the States where it existed.

Criticised Lincoln That Douglas was no DuBois call upon the Negro, while his women were being violated and his youth lynched, to "forget grievances and close ranks" in order to help the imperialist oppressors protect the people of the city, in his denunciation of Lincoln's failure to call the South to account for the murder and re-enslavement of Negro prisoners of war and his refusal further to assist in the recruiting of Negro troops. In a letter to Major Asses, where he enquired孟赫哈 assisted in the recruiting, he writes: "I am free to say, my dear sir, that the case looks as if the confiding colored soldiers had been betrayed into bloody hands by the government in whose defense they were killed. The 64ths must be cut to pieces, its multitated prisoners killed, and its living prisoners sold into slavery, to be fortured to death by inches, before Mr. Lincoln shall say, Hold, enough?"

V. V. K. Stokes Charges Lack of Sincerity in Sermon. $120 PLEDGED TO SCHOOL Preachers Meeting to Give to Northern University. The failure of modern ministers to follow the methods of the apostles of old in dispensing the gospel, was stated to be the cause of the inefficiency of preaching by the Rev. W. V. K. Stokes, pastor of the Trinity Baptist Church, at the meeting of the Baptist ministers, Monday. "The apostles were not profiters. They did not sell their services to the highest bidders. They did not exploit the weaker of the groups, and when their money was exhausted move their tents to newer fields. They did not go into churches to them, but in them to up. They bring out of the church and not loss over God's inheritance," said the Rev. Rey. Stokes. Aid Northern University The Rev. W. W. Winston, president of the Northern University, brought to the meeting a plea for aid for the university which he represented Pledgeers, and for the work of the students. This amount is to be collected, and presented to the president at the February 17 meeting, when the Rev. Mr. Winston will address the alliance. The Rev. W. Winston suggested a calling meeting of the Maryland Baptists to promote better felting and a more co-operative spirit among members of the denomination, so that the prospect of work with the Baptists would be made to this effect and seconded, but were withdrawn upon explanation of the president, the Rev.

Simon Williams, pastor of the Faith Baptist Church, said: "Before we begin to make suggestions as to how the Community Fund should then, we should put something into the fund. We are too much in the habit of talking a lot and doing nothing. Put some money into the fund, then you will have the right to make suggestions as to how the distributions should be made." Among the visitors present were the Revs. P. I. Small, Savannah, G. W., L. New York and Dr. M. L. Brickleke. "Home" Medical Attendant Dr. M. L. Barksdale is giving his services as medical attendant at the Old Fols' Home, it was announced. This service was secured through the interest of the Rev. W. W. Allen president of the Baptist Ministers' Church, at the South British Church, at which the physician has his membership. THE CHURCHMAN Education and Ignorance. Editor Churchman: In your issue of January 25, in the Churchman's journal there appeared a discussion of the subject "Educated vs. Ignorant Ministry" at the A.M.E. meeting. I am at sea to know why ministers should waste valuable time discussing such a subject, as it is quite obvious that there is no need for ignorant ministry. Ignorance is blind and cannot lead. A greater surprise was to note that "Bishop A. L. Gaines that a few ignorant ministers are needed yet." A bishop endorsing ignorance in the ministry speaks like the Scribes and Pharisees, but not like one having author- S. S. Lesson Sunday, February 9th: WARNING AND PRACTICE (Temperance Lesson).

The ministry should be educated. How much education does a minister need? He needs as much of an education as he can possibly get, or as much as he can interpret in terms of fruitful living, to his people, and to the world. He must forever a learner and a thinker, that he may prove himself an ever efficient worker in the building of the kingdom love. A complete preliminary training in college and seminary is in our day a matter of vital importance. The demands of the hamburg, the challenge of the world, and his own urge such a preparation. "How far these courses will go in educating him depends upon the character of the college, the seminary, and the man himself. They should at least be a real education: to think straight; to organize his thinking; to think to conclusions; and to translate thought into activity for the benefit of society. They should also enable students to cause social and spiritual values, to gender him spiritually and socially dynamic. The need for such a type of ministry is imperative. The ministry is no place for ignorantuses or clowns or parrots. HAROLD L. NEVER. Hartford. Com. Race Relations Sunday Sunday, February 9, will be widely observed as Race Relations Sunday if the recommendation of the Federal Council is followed. The day has been designated by the church council as an occasion for furthering understanding and cooperation between the various racial groups of the coun In announcing the plans for the day, Dr. George E. Haynes, executive secretary of the Federal Council of Churches, said: "The idea that at least on one day people of different races should meet in churches and other places on the basis of friendiness and goodwill will also be created by members of the different racial groups have been helped to discover how much they have in common and as a result have been stimulated to join in cooperating with each other in a whole community." One of the special plans urged by the Federal Council of Churches in connection with this day is the exchange of letters between members of the church's residents. In several instances, white and Negro choirs have also exchanged places on this day. Bishop Dickerson Rev. J. D. Barksdale, formerly editor of the Western A.M.E. Christian Recorder has known and served under nine bishops. Of the late Bishop W. F. Dicker he writes the AFO; son the whites *a* star of the first magnitude. A master in the pupil, and one of the ablest, if not the ablest preacher ever produced by the A. M. E. Church. At the time of its death the calvly News and the Charleston, S.C. among other things, editorial, had the following to say "You had but to sit under the sound of his matchless eloquence to be convinced that he was one of the greatest preachers that has stood in the pulpit since days of the Apostle Paul": self-willed, and hard headed, and perhaps, the first of that long line of episcopal oligarchs that have so generously cursed the church since his day. Radicals at Columbus Five thousand delegates and visitors attended the 19th centennial of the Pentecost held in Columbus, the last week of July, members of the Council of the Ohio Council of Churches, took part. Speakers denied that the Bible is divine or heals; said one "range from sublime heights to the greatest depths. Parts of it are unfit for children. References to the Trinity in the Bible are pious forgeries; the Bible is not worth a hint of beans. We must scrap the Bible we can attain church unity. It has no part in the twentieth century. Frederick W. Norwood, pastor of London City Temple, painted the picture of the Peace Conference, where representation is sitting with drawn figures, like men playing cards, trying to see how much power they may keep and what advantage they may gain. When we get really civilized it will be no place for oratory. Dr. Norwood also ridiculed moving picture magnates who had refused the role of the Saviour to Charlie "Possibly Mr. Chaplin could see some quality in Jesus that church people see." Mary Magdalene missed "Jesus that Peter missed," he said. A Good Preacher Trustees and stewards o the A.M.E. Zion Church of Highland Falls, N.Y., attended by many soldiers of the enlisted detachment at West Point, passed a resolution last week in memory of those who pastored the church for nearly four years. Says the resolution: "He was a man whose manliness had a strong appeal to all other men. He was a man of God and his charisma. He was a man of virtue whom he was and whom he served. He was a good preacher, and a faithful pastor." Seventh Day Adventists Speak Friday, the Harlem Seventh Day Adventist Church began proceedings against the Greater New York conference to stay away from the Harlem church until such time as the courts determine whether the property shall belong to the congregation or to the trustees.

College Graduates Have Built No City Churches "Merit plus college graduation seems to be the basis upon which the Rev. R. E. W. Wendel will work in connection with the National Baptist Convention. With all their accomplishments, the other pastors in the church who have built large churches and have led the work successfully for all these years — are not fitted to participate in arranging for the part in the National教徒 publiee. "Rev. Mr. Payne told the Women's Convention which met in Enon Baptist Church of which he is pastor, last Sunday. He said he was kicking because they had been here for twenty-five years or thirty years and had done nothing and the men who are coming to town are doing something. "I wonder whether he has thought wonder whether he has done? I wonder whether he has thought that he is the happy recipient and anxious beneficiary of the fortunate downfall of his brother the famous pastor the Church. I wonder whether he has thought of it — that all his life as a pastor, he has never built nor bought as much as a chicken house for the benefit of the people. Only drawn a salary and some of that time was raised by someone else? "There has not been one church founded in this city by a college graduate, only because some of our best churches here which were built up by non-college men and split by the college men and those who went out are pastored by the college splitters, taking a leadership labor of the dark ages." "Rev. Mr. Payne, our Ministers Conference president, said on the conference floor in discussing the information that he was glad that some college men were coming into the city who knew how to do research work. These men would be of great service in compiling the history of the Bap- "It is a very fine thing to have such men and we need them and are glad to have them and we should overlook the history makers who are left in the city. "The history writers need to be introduced to the history makers on what has been done, thus it takes some of both classes to make a success in this movement. "We must know that churches make men big, while some men make churches big. Some men would not be even known were it not for the churches they pastor, and this is the case in many instances in our city." 1930 Commentary An unbroken record covering a period of a quarter of a century in the issuing of a Sunday School lesson in the Bible School connected with the Baptist Churches of America, has been established by the Nationality Baptist Publishing in its Sunday School lesson in its Sunny School Lesson Commentary for 1930.

He became the founder of the African Methodist Episcopal Church and now over a century and a half after his death, there are over 7500 African Methodist Church organizations all over the United States, in Africa, Canada, and Isles of the Sea.

A.—Bishop G. B. Young, head of the South African diocese of the A.M.E. Church, has found prejudice in South Africa worse than in his native state of Texas. According to the African World, the course of his address in the annual conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church recently he referred to correspondence in which the white writer resented the presence of natives on the sidewalks. Bishop Young said, "It is most unhappy that so many unreasonable prejudice stalks this wonderful land of promise, but we should view the European mind in the light of circumstances, and fear that there are too many cases that appears to be justification for the our estimate neighbors place on us. "Clean yourselves up, stop haunting round where you have no room to appear as a filth. Do your work and be fully and worthily. Don't be afraid of yourselves, use your opportunities. Don't make enemies — make friends. Cultivate good will and the sympathetic interest of the man." Parham Back in S.S. Exam March 15 CHICAGO. (ANP) - Taciturnize zo, the Cadet Parham, who is now at home from West Point, bachelor himself through hard study for a new attack on the academy mathematics March 15, returned to Sunday School Sunday at St. Mary's AM Church, where he was the quiet student. He then responded to make three speeches in the course of the morning. He seemed to respond to the invitations to speak with some relevance. The phasem has reiterated here in earlier statement that he did not believe that he had been unattended at West Point. He asserted that there was not a question asked that did not cover some point of principle; that he class had covered classroom work and not learnt better, by less time. He is now studying in a high school for his new trial. Seen at his home and at various affairs, he sees a demand for a wild but evident deaf in the heroes part that the public would cast him and one would not be surprised if he has not already achieved some of the case spirit which is so assiduously cultivated at West Point.

I visited Public School No. 90, Ipswich at 225 West 147th Street, New York City, and坐到 Diane E. Tucker, the assistant principal, Mrs. Flynn, and the assistant principal, Mrs. Flynn that I believe, up here in Harlem among Negroes. I don't expect that they are getting in Mississippi and they are getting it. away. The talk to colored teachers than a Georgia cracker would and refer to the teacher as "little niggers." One teacher who did not get to the school at quarter to nine a.m., in with the children for classes which convene at 9, found a teacher teaching him the principal to the teacher who was like that she could go home and come to time the next morning. The teacher tried to explain, the principal told her. "Go away. I don't want any talk out of you, that is the way with you when you don't make time and then you want to give me some kind about it." Luke Warm Teachers I talked to a number of the teachers, many of whom are lukewarm and indifferent. Quite afraid that they could be fired they said nothing, still others asked the question—Why should they proclaim the majority is silent? When I tried to talk to the princess about some of the things, easily the laxity in getting paper, instance, with her, I said that it didn't make any difference whether the children took any examinations or not they didn't know anything any- I could not believe, and told the principal so, that a northern woman caring $5,300 a year salary for heading a school. She said it was worth twice as much to teach colored children, as while. I told her that she was not teaching but was the principal of the school, and both of them were the school. She assured me that most of the teachers are worse than the children. You cannot paint the conditions of this school. for Morons I want to School No. 98, located at Lexon Avenue and 135th Street.

I asked him if he has his facts or rather his conclusions upon the facts gathered in his school which is black. He has 8 grades and all of his pupils, most come from people who have to work and do not have sufficient time to train their children, and the people themselves, just recently from the South, they have little opportunity to learn. I noticed that he has a class for backward children; he calls them black. They came from the South and are 12 and 14 years are abnormal simply because they are not keeping pace with the New York City, who is probably 40 and has had a different environment. He said he hadn't thought of this when I brought it to his attention. I told him that his history, I am afraid, will be written more in keeping with his prejudice than in keeping with fact. He took it good natured. In this same school where they claim they do not believe in corporal punishment, I found a number of teachers slapping children and pulling their ears just as though they were animals of the lower type, but I found a woman pull little children's ears just as though they had been 12 or 14 and it seemed to have been a customary rule to do this. Junior Hi. 24 I went to Junior High School No 24, located at 128th Street and Madison Avenue, and I am frank to say much like in Mississippi. Most of the teachers, in fact nearly all, are white, Jews and Irishmen. They seem to have only one interest and that is to draw their children, colored and several whites, told me that the teachers habitually referred to colored children as little "niggers" and "black apes". The teachers, however, but I could see from their attitude toward me that they did not care a whole lot for called people and would have called me anything that they would not assimilate me.

We could be found at the Blue Comet dance. Nora Holt in Red at Tammany Ball. The week started in high with the First Annual Ball of Tammy Hall United College. What a dance that turned out to be.

The well-known Wilson-Grampton-Wilson-Bush-Mindleman combination was woven into their costumes and they had their hands and feet feel. There were fifty-two numbers of pupils of her classes. The costumes, which were designed by Justine Alexander, assisted by Misses Dickerson and Glenn in black and various colors was effectively used. Of course chiffon was most popular with the ballet numbers, and a number of the principals wore sequins. As usual the Bandana babies were the favorites of the audience. They really step-Many an adult professional chorus could take lessons from them. They had new outfits made of bandana handkerchiefs.

Archie Savage, Gloria Wilson, a miniature Pocahontes; Cathleen Storney as the Princes, and Doris Summer as the tom tom maiden, worked before a large ensemble, and gave a splendid show.

JEWISH LEADER TALKS Moses Wed Colored Woman, Abraham Loved Another. NEW YORK—Several leading officials, including three judges, the minority leader of the assembly, and the commissioner of taxes and assessments of New York City were the speakers Sunday afternoon by Bishop Church, Brooklyn, of which the Rev. T. S. Harten is pastor. The attendance was a very large one. Hundreds stood, while six policemen were necessary to regulate traffic in front of the church. Many had to be refused admission. The police were waryly elogized Dr. Harten for the work he had in Brooklyn, and the manner in which he helped to bring the city off into closer contact and sympathy with the Negro and his many problems. "This meeting," said Aaron Jacoby sheriff of King's county, "marks a great step toward fellowship between the races. Lincoln said that God made him a slave because He made so many of them. Similarly I might say, 'God must have loved the colored people because He made so many of them.' He also called attention to the fact that Moses had married a black woman and that Abraham had loved most of his age. Greater attention be paid to the Negro children on whom depended the future. At Albany Hotel Minority leader Steingut was also a speaker. He spoke very warmly of the two New Yorkers of the Assembly, and declared himself unalterably opposed to race discrimination. "Once," he said, "I was standing at the desk of the Assembly, and I was also assembling being refused on the plea that there was no room. I immediately knew what was the reason, and I told the clerk that if the Negro was not admitted I get out of the mills, tends, too. The Negro got his room." On Grand Jury Arthur F. Dore, chief clerk of the district attorney's office, was introduced as the one who had made it possible for Negroes to sit on his bench in the Census Office, to employ them in the Census Office, having given work to more than 120. "And I am very glad I employed them, too," he said, "for I have never had any trouble with my Negro employee," cannot say the same for Started in Stable Dr. Harten gave a stirring address and told of his early struggles and of his first church in a horse-stable in Boston. He read a letter from former governor John Harden, which the governor told how he had visited the horse-stable several times to hear Dr. Harten preach. Dr. Harten also told how professors from Harvard and Yale had heard him. He said he used his whole life was devoted to the service of the race; to spiritual advancement on Sundays and to economic and intellectual advancement the remainder of his life. He talked he severely scored the average educated Negro—the doctors, lawyers, teachers, and others, who he said, had used the church as a stepping-board, but more often he deserted the church, instead of coming in and help to educate the masses.

The Y.W.C.A. closed its cycle of activities annually, Friday evening, when it presented as its final episode, an unusually interesting, historical pasage, depicting the program. The pasage was a plowing success and the Harriet Beecher Stowe Junior High School was far too small to hold the immense throng. The "information Desk" turned up the door and the girl GIRL Reserve Ceremonial, the Evolution of Pastition, through twenty-five years, the gymnasium stunts and aesthetic dances all to satisfy the audience in no small way. The pageant was credibly written by Ophelia Johnson, Mabelle Williams and the girls. The stage was staged by Victoria Lewis. Anniversaries are usually staid and colorizes, but the "Y" proved that along with the many changes in the program, outstanding change in the program is putting over a real, live and snappy program.

George Murray Working on Portrait of Paula. George Murray, 18, the youngest member of the Art *Studies*'s Club, who is called the "greatest student," has speed and ability, is painting a portrait of the charming and adorable Paulia Johnston, one of Brooklyn's most prominent. George was born in Trinidad, WL. arrived in New York with his parents at the University, and was accompanied with honors in 1826. After winning several medals in school for drawings, he became interested in poster designs. In 1828, he attended the University of Commerce, and studied a special course. In the two years that followed, George won two of John Wannamaker's silver medals; he received a fellowship and received honorable mention for a poster, submitted for the Grand Central Flower Show. George was one of the Art *Studies*'s Club in May, 1829. Directorial Bureau to Aid Artists At the last meeting of the board of directors of the Directionsal Service Bureau, the Bureau managed some of the most outstanding figures of the artistic world, it was definitely voted that the Bureau should extend its reach to the art world. This decision will mean that hundreds of our young artists will find achievement made less difficult and accomplishment in their work. The Bureau will simultaneously come the announcement that a sub-office will be opened in upper floor capacity—possibly the Bureau. The Bureau will be responsible for business ability, reasonable education, some knowledge of travel, and languages, to head this branch to a salary of six thousand per annum.

Harlem Tenants Unite At a spiritized meeting at Becthely Laceum last Sunday afternoon, the tenants of Harlem showed a spirit of determination by unanimously endorsing the demands of the Unimur Tenants League for a permanent rent law in the interests of working class tenants. A bill introduced by Assemblyman Rivera, in the legislature at Albany, was presented, and the tenants of Harlem protested against this bill as failing to make any provision whatever against rent increases. "We do not want any fake emergency rent," he said. "We want to forward our demands for a permanent rent law in the interests of the tenants. We call upon the tenants to organize mass demand for rent, and to organize the demands, and to organize house and block committees, to carry through a mass rent strike, which will curb the rent robbers who are driving us out into the streets to These demands include such provisions as no discrimination and segregation, no evictions, no limited to 10 per cent of annual family earnings, houses built by the state and city for workers at cost, no mass meetings by the Harlem Tenants League at St. Luke Hall, 135 West 130th Street, Friday, January 31, 2014, at 10 a.m., mass meetings by the meeting: Briar Richard.

Indigestion Bad Complexion Above is a recent picture of Mr. Bartow G. Wilson, city editor of the Knoxville (Tenn.) Herald, who writes: "SOME time ago my complexion was in a terrible condition—dark splotches and very bumpy. We were trying to dispel this with local treatments, but nothing I did seemed to help me. My food did not seem to agree with me. I seemed to have indigestion most of the time. My mother advised me to take Black-Draught, and I have been glad that I did. It cleared up my complexion. I am feeling much better, and am glad to recommend Black-Draught to others." This testimonial is genuine, and was given freely. No pay has been given or promised for its use. Thedford's Black-Draught For CONSTIPATION, INDIGESTION BILIOUSNESS Made by The Chattanooga Medicine Co., Chattanooga, Tennessee, and sold by druggists everywhere. That the campaign to get more race youth into West Point and the Naval Academy may bear fruit, was indicated in a statement made this week by L. F. Coles that Congressman Joseph A. Gavagam (Democrat), of the 21st District (Harlem), New York City, had promised to appoint a colored youth to that institution. Coles declared that other congressmen with whom he is in correspondence, were being urged to make similar appointments. "James M. Beck of the First Congressional District of Pennsylvania," he said, "has been asked to do likewise. George S. Grant of the Second Congressional District of Pennsylvania, has had this matter brought to his attention. "I have urged Congressman Henry W. Watson of Pennsylvania to appoint a colored youth as a senator of Missouri, and Senator Robert F. Wagner of New York has promised to ask Congress to make an investigation of certain matters about former cadets at Point, if necessary." Mr. Coles stated. Had Eyes Open Calling attention to the fact that Alonzo Parham had been discharged from West Point as per his predication. Mr. Coles declared that he went to the academy with his eyes open after receiving some information about the place. He still holds that Parham, like many others, so scorned at the academy, was discriminated against and that his failure was due to chicacom on the part of officials. "Ary one," he says, "who read the papers on the day that Parham was dismissed knows that the headlines were built around Parham. They went on to show that Parham, Negro cadet, appointed by Oscar DePriest, the Negro representative from the Congressional Committee of Illinois, was West Point in April and that of first he was homeick and finally he was persuaded to remain at West Point. "Some of the papers said that it was expected that Parham would fall as it had been predicted in the story which came out first on the 3rd of December in the newspaper that came under my observation made this boy the headline of the story. The New York World, which is supposed to be friendly to Negroes, built its story with big headlines on the front page and stated that this Negro cadet had failed, but that he himself said that he failed as a white boy and that he boy failed as a black boy. "Anyone, unless he is an asinine fool or a moron knows that Parham did not go to West Point as a white boy for he is a colored boy and the papers took delight in being a color when he went there just as they took delight in telling you when he was dismissed that he was a Negro. "When they discussed the possibility of Parham taking an examination that he is a Negro, therefore the World like the other metropolitan papers, told a deliberate lie, in fact the statement is puerile and inane. It is about time that Negroes stop asking questions for Negroes not do get justice anywhere in the United States, and I have been all over these United States and know whereof I speak." To Transfer Texas Primary Case to La. NEW YORK—Because the Fort Worth division, of the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals does not meet until the democratic state has been in office 1923 A.A.C.P. through the attorneys in the case has applied to have it transferred from Fort Worth to New Orleans. The New Orleans division of the court is in time for the colored Democrats to have their case heard before the primary election from which it was sought to bar them. The present case tests the right of a Democratic state committee to bar colored voters from a primary election. The N.A.A.C.P. is financing a similar case West v. Billey, in Virginia, and other cases in Florida and Arkansas. South Africans Now Ose Bloodbounds JOHANNESBURG S.A. - South Africa she is rare among hounds to trace natives charged with crime.

FOREIGNERS AT WORK Native-Born Compelled to Walk the Streets. CHICAGO, (ANP) — Oscar DePriest, speaking before the delegates to the National Negro Labor Conference here, asserted that the quota should be placed on the entire western hemisphere, as well as on European countries. He said that the immigration into this country is 250,000 a year should be stopped entirely for a ten-year period and that a law should be passed compelling every alien in this country who has not declared an alien can citizen within a stated time to pay a tax to the government. "Why should the alien workers be permitted to come to this country and work in competition with American workers when they are?" he asked. Immigration from South America, Mexico, and Canada should be placed a quota basis. I was on the Pacific Coast not long ago and saw American immigrants were walking the streets looking for a job." Georgia's Last Hanging Postponed Attorneys Contend that Mart Sentenced to Hang cannot be Electrocuted AUGUSTA, Ga., (GNS.) — Because attorneys for Arthur Meyer, under sentence of death for murder, claim that a clause in the electrocution act of Georgia's "last hanging" set for January 31, were postponed pending this hearing in Superior Court Tuesday for a jury to decide whether seeking to set aside the conviction. Meyers is under sentence of death for killing Robert Gunn, white, a Georgia railroad policeman, who died suddenly thereafter, in the same month, but before the passage of the electrocution act. Meyers was indicted when the penalty for a murder was hanging. The electrocution act was passed shortly after. Attorneys Pierce and Pierce, counterside man, contend that since the law providing for execution by hanging was repealed, their client cannot be electrocuted.

THOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER (1906) All honor to brave Mrs. Jeanette Collins, of Hagerstown, who routed several of her white neighbors who came to tar and feather her and her husband a few nights ago. Her husband, Howard Collins, is a white man and they own a 150-acre Hagerstown. She was perturbed when they knocked on her door. She opened it and opened her with her revolver. She was shocked that they will hold the revolver and her revolver a wide berth in the future, and we might say just at this point, that it would be well if our people would be prepared to kill themselves in an emergency in the page above. gave Mrs. Collins was formerly Miss Jeanette Pye, at one time a correspondent of the AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER. Perhaps that has something to do with her bravery. The Curtis Case The celebrated Fitzhugh-Curtis case in Washington, this week, in which a young woman patient accused her physician of conduct immoral and unprofessional, but serves to call attention to the high standards which the medical profession must observe to command confidence The celebrated Fitzhugh-Curtis case in Washington this week, in which a young woman patient accused her physician of conduct immoral and unprofessional, but serves to call to the high standards which the medical profession must observe to command confidence We are accustomed to the demand for unimpeachable character in the ministry; this case reminds us that the physician as well as the lawyer must maintain a high degree of pro- tessional. In many cases the relation of the physician to his patient is more intimate and confidential than that of pastor and church member. The latter trusts his preacher with the future of his soul, but the former trusts his doctor with his body and his present life. In many cases the relation of the physician to his patient is more intimate and confidential than that of pastor and church member; the latter trusts his preacher with the future of his soul, but the former trusts his doctor with his body and his personal life. Some physicians violate the confidence of their patients, like some preachers play false to their confessionists. They tell their wives or their friends what was confided to them in utmost secrecy. Fortunately these unethical are few in number. May their tribe like that of unethical preachers and newspapermen, still body and his mind. Some physicians violate the confidence of their patients, like some preachers play false to their confessionists. They tell their wives or their friends that was confided to them in utmost secrecy. Fortunately these unethical practitioners are few in number. May their tribe like that of unethical preachers and newspapermen, still further decrease. Pressed by questions of the opposition's attorney, Dr. A. M. Curtis, senior, testified that his son's patient was once afflicted with a loathsome disease. This testimony was forced. Had he been unprincipled he could have sworn that he had found a still more terrible aliment or two such aliments, and our available scientific knowledge is still so lacking that no one could safely contradict him. The Long View At Hampton Appointment of Dr. George P. Phenix, white, as principal of Hampton (Va.) Institute came last week at the end of twenty-five years of mentoring service. Dr. Phenix had been acting principal since the resignation of Dr. James E. Gregg, white, a year ago. Twelve years ago he was named acting principal following the death of H. and his friends were disappointed when trustees failed to advance to the principalship but selected Dr. Gregg instead. The new principal enters upon his duties with not only the support of the trustees but also with the good will of the student body and of the friends of Hampton everywhere. This is true despite the fact that his elevation comes at a time of great interest men have passed the age of achievement and look forward to retirement and freedom from heavy responsibility. Appointment of Dr. George P. Phenix, white, as principal of Hampton (Va.) Institute came last week at the end of twenty-five years of meritorious service. Dr. Phenix had been acting principal since the resignation of Dr. James E. Gregg, white, a year ago. Twelve years ago he was named acting principal following the death of H. B. Fowell, with his friends were disappointed when trustees failed to advance him to the principalship bus selected Dr. Gregg. The new principal entered upon his duties with the support of the trustees but also with the good will of the student body and of the friends of Hampton everywhere. This is true despite the fact that his elevation comes at a time of life when most men have passed the age of achievement and look forward to retirement and freedom from heavy responsibility. A college headship is an exacting task. For this reason Howard University, Chicago, Alabama State and Fisk selected presidents still in their thirties. Taking the long view, Hampton eventually will discover the necessity of entrusting its administrative powers to more youthful shoulders and will use the example of Atlanta, Tuskegee, Howard and Bust before it, the institute's trustees must elect a Negro principal, or admit that education of the Negro at Hampton for fifty years has been a failure. Taking the long view, Hampton eventually will discover the necessity of entrusting its administrative burdens to more youthful shoulders and with the example of Athena the college ard and Ruskin the institute's trustees must deserve a Negro principal, or admit that education of the Negro at Hampton for fifty years has been a failure. Booker Washington and Dr. Robert R. Moton are evidences that Hampton can educate leaders of men and heads of large schools heavily endowed. The one built, the other added to and consigned to Hampton too sick to take its own medicine? Is it afraid of Negro principals because they are black? Samuel Chapman Armstrong wasn't, Hollis B. Frissell wasn't, they wanted Hampton to turn out real men. Yet any qualified Hampton product who may not aspire to its principalship is sick. William Hampton men have done at Tuskegee, they can do at Hampton. This is the long view, and there is no escape from it. Cheltenham's Board Two out of sixteen members of the board of trustees of the Maryland House of Reformation for Colored Boys at Cheltenham are colored. Of the sixteen members, two are named by Governor Albert C. Rchie in February and two by Mayor Bromen in March, and the board itself chooses twelve. The mayors of Baltimore have always made a promise to one white and one colored member. The governors of Maryland have always named only white persons. If seems to be a strange thing that this procedure has so long continued, yet it has, despite the fact that Maryland and Baltimore have always been committed to a separate school system, and Cheltenham has been adversely reported on by grand juries for the past five years. Since all the inmates at Cheltenham are colored, both mayor and governor should have been committed to a colored population to name colored man and women to these boards and entrust to them the problem of making Cheltenham the kind of reform school the state ought to have. It is not enough for the chief executives of the city and of the state to say that Cheltenham is a private institution and nothing can be done. This is not the case of colored persons can be placed by them on the Cheltenham board. Until this is done, neither state nor city has done its duty by the colored people. N. Y.?s Number, 210,000 There is always a large number of persons who names never get on the U.S. census books. There is always a large number of people who have the police know where they live. Other no permanent domicile, and still others, are sale- if the census taker comes by day, and are out if he comes by night. New York City illustrates the difficulties of an accurate census. For example, the 1920 U.S. census showed a population of 80,118 colored women and men, total, 152,469. In 1900, New York had 60,666 colored folk; and in 1910, 91,700. If the usual growth of the city has kept up since 1920, New York today has 210,000 colored people. The New York Tattler "guesses" however that the number should be 254,000. Other New York papers have estimated as high as 275,000 or 300,000. They may be correct; but when the census figures are made public next year and show 210,000 Negroes in New York City, the rest of the country can well marvel how so many Harlemites succeed every ten years in ducking census enumerators.

A Snob University "In some of our most popular universities, undergraduates are simply a product of stuffing machines, the simple product of AB blooms, a mere standard bonded label on a bootie bottle," writes Dean Edward Wilber Berry, white, of the College of Arts and Sciences of Johns Hopkins University in a current magazine. Dean Berry thinks that the average college teaches "simply the accumulated debris of the past three or four hundred years of hit-or-miss instruction." Defenders of the college as it is, may well wonder how much of this opinion can be regarded as an effort to better college teaching and how much is a sneer at colleges in general. Dean Berry was privately educated. He holds no degrees. Yet neither Dean Berry, who is 55 years old and was born in Newark, N. J., nor Johns Hopkins University can afford to sneer at many other colleges. Nowhere is snobbishness, prejudice, race hatred and intolerance better taught and better exemplified in this Christian(?) land, than at Johns Hopkins. Named for a philanthropist who left his wealth to heal and educate both black and white, it has been turned into a university of snobs for the white ristocrat only. Dean Berry can well afford to confine his sneers to his own college.

I have had some people to say to me, "Why do you advocate the public school we have parish schools to which we can send our children, that they may get a religious education?" My reply to such people is this: Do you think it advisable to turn our back on the schools which we have had for three hundred and fifty-one years past? S. S. CORBIN President, Parent-Teachers Assoc'n, Ridge, Md. I am writing for information concerning an editorial in your paper, January 25 issue.

WHALEN, Box 75, Burkittsville, Md. Forty-Three S.D.A. Sanitaria But None Is Open to Christians Who Are Colored. To the Editor: I desire to thank you for the letter which you carried in the AFRO-AMERICAN, January 18. Your paper has been especially kind and considerate to the Harlem Seventh-day Adventist Church and myself during the entire controversy between the conference, officers of the church and me. I desire to make one correction in the paragraph, which read, "The Seventh-day Adventists have 43 sanitariums aggregating $70,100 a large amount of which came from colored churches throughout this country." This should have read: "The white Seventh-day Adventists have 43 sanitariums aggregating $5,770,100.63, a large amount of which came from colored churches throughout the country." I desire to make one correction in the paragraph, which read, "The Seventh-day Adventists have 43 santai churches, agreeing to grow more, which came from colored churches throughout this country." This should have read: "The white Seventh-day Adventists have 43 santai churches aggregating $5,770,100.63, a large amount of income from colored churches throughout the country." We are in the fight to win and believe that in a short time our cause will be vindicated, for we are right to fight for the rights of the Seventh-day Adventists alone, but is a fight of the colored people to rid themselves of white leadership, especially in the church. We are in the fight to win and believe that in a short time our cause will be vindicated, for we are right on our way to victory alone. There is a fight of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, but is a fight of the colored people to rid themselves of white leadership, especially in the church. It seems as though the white Christians everywhere are trying to dominate over Negroes. This is a fight of the colored people to free colored people must unite and throw these Christians off their backs, whose only purpose is to rob the colored people of their earnings and then jim-crow and segregate them.

Y.W.G.A.'s and Other Girls' Homes Not Owned By Negroes Not Included in Recent Survey of Miss Jane Hunter. To the Editor: In my recent article on homes for girls, I said that there is a valuation of $100,000 which I received reports. Of this sum there is $800,000 invested in Cleveland. This does not include any Young Women's Christian Association property; it does not include any homes now existing for delinquent boys and girls, fostered by other organizations. We did not include any homes supported and operated by church organizations, state organizations, or any municipal houses for such purposes. We did not include any homes operated by colored women who are members of the National Association of Colored Women, independent of any other national organization. We are simply trying to lay a foundation to build a community for colored Women, a similar organization to that of the Young Women's Christian Association, that will be owned, operated and controlled by the Negro. I am not sending you a complete list of the women in the community with which I got in touch were very minor, and had not gotten very far in their social and financial program, and there are some in various states about which I could not get an estimate.

In my recent article on homes for girls, I said that there is a valuation of $1,200,000 in property in the twenty homes upon which I received reports. Of this sum the two homes that I did not include any Young Women's Christian Association property; it does not include any homes now existing for delinquent boys and girls, fostered by other organizations. I did not include any homes supported and operated by church organizations, state organizations, or any municipal houses for such purposes. It only includes houses that are being operated by colored women who are members of the National Association, independent national organization. We are simply trying to lay a foundation to build in the National Association of Colored Women a similar organization to that of the Young Women's Christian Association, that is being owned by the Negro. I am not sending you a complete list of the twenty homes because those with which I got in touch were very minor, and had not gotten very far in their social and financial program, and there are some states about which I am not sure to estimate. N.A.A.C.P. is Real Insurance of a Kind Every Negro Needs. To the Editor: We never know when we are going to die or what our financial condition will be when we do, most of us have life insurance. Because we never know when the house in which we live is going to catch fire and destroy all of the things we have labored for and treasure, we must know what our financial condition will be after we get injured or killed on that trip to Chicago, Boston or Atlanta, so we take out travel insurance. We might have our place of business broken into and robbed, so we take out burglary insurance. Circuses and the other dramas against foot injury, injuries against delay or catastrophe. Even nations have in their armies and navies a form of insurance against invasion. How much more logical is it that Negroes in America should take out insurance against the many illies that are afflicted with time because of color prejudice and discrimination. A Negro dies but once, very infrequently has his home gutted by flames, seldom has his business burglared, and does not often meet with the firm that are afflicted with time because of some form of racial discrimination or segregation that hurts pride, prestige and pocketbook. It seems to me that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has our own office to write while we are unable to experience some form of racial discrimination or segregation that hurts pride, prestige and pocketbook. That reason Negroes who hesitate to support it or quibble over giving such support for childish and narrow reasons, are just like Negroes who just believe that Negroes are indeed blind who cannot see the necessity and value of the insurance against injustice offered by the N.A.A.C.P. GEORGE S. SCHUYLER, New York City. DISCOURAGEMENT Why should you be discouraged? When you lose in the game? If you'll just have good courage You will rank high in fame. MILDRED I. ST. CLAIR, N.A.A.C.P. is Real Insurance of a Kind Every Negro Needs. To the Editor: Because we never know when we are going to die or what our life will be when we are us have life insurance. Because we never know when the house in which we live is going to catch fire and destroy all of the things we have labored for and treasure, we might be injured or killed on that trip to Chicago, Boston or Atlanta, so we take out travel insurance. We might have our place of business broken into and robbed, so we take out burglary insurance against inclement weather, dancers against foot injury, ships against delay or catastrophe. Even nations have in their armies and navies a form of insurance against invasion; it that Negroes in America should take out insurance against the many lilies that are liable to befall them at any time because of color prejudice and discrimination. A Negro dies once, very infrequently, and his family is burdened by a business burglarized, and does not often meet with an accident while traveling, but he is always liable to experience some form of racial discrimination that hurts pride, prestige and booklock. It seems to me that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which is our only organization offering protection against the many lilies that beset us as Negroes, is the one we need to protect the lilies. For that reason Negroes who hesitate to support it or quibble over giving such support for childish and narrow reasons, are just cutting off their noses to spite their faces. Those Negroes are indeed blind who cannot see the necessity and value of the insurance against injustice offered by the Mental Shackles From "The News", Augusta, Ga. Among the many things that have kept the Negro from enjoying the mathy blessings of real freedom is his inability to realize the influences which have been directing his mind in various ways for hundreds of years; he has taught to work hard white as an emblem of purity and that all goodness must come from some white source. The pictures in our Bibles and religious literature are all white; for that cause I believe they are faithful to reading, and have done more harm than good. Are Angels White? I believe there is something wrong with our religious teaching. We teach that all of God's messengers or angels are white. Some people would be visible to the eye. We cannot conceive the idea that angels are of any color. Some songs we sing, with such phrases as "Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow." Among the many things that have kept the Negro from enjoying the mahy blessings of real freedom is his inability to realize the influences which have been directing his mind in various ways to thirst for white as an haw-tem tion to upon white as an emblem of purity and that all goodness must come from some white source. The pictures in our Bibles and religious literature are all white; for that cause I believe they are fictious and deceiving, and have done more hard work than good. Are Angels White? I believe there is something wrong with our religious teaching. We teach that all of God's messengers or angels are white. Some people believe the soul is white. If it were white, it would be like a white cat. The idea that angels are of any color. Some songs we sing, with such phrases as "Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow," show that the writer has taken white as an emblem of purity. One of the most deadly poisons we have, which is strychine, is white. White is the color of emptiness. When the Negro accepts such teaching he enslaves himself into the belief that all goodness comes from some white source. It is often that we walk along the street and point with pride at the signboard showing Old Santa Claus, a big, good old white man, who has always been good and kind to all children (which is false teaching, or course). But the Santa Claus therefore he comes to the conclusion that all good things must come from some white source. The girl who is taught to love a white doll, when she is grown and becomes a mother will not be proud of children of her own likeness. The lesson taught is too bitter. Pictures Every picture on our walls tells its story and makes some kind of impression on the mind; therefore we should select only those which would be helpful, and avoid all those which would be harmful. The Negro has accepted false teaching long enough. How long will he be the victim of the intrigue that has made him believe that he was inferior to any people? It is now time for us to realize the fact that we must set a new standard for children of which race pride without race hatred. We must learn to love others as ourselves, but not better. Day by Day BY WILLIAM N. JONES At West Point and the Naval Academy If the writings of L. F. Coles on West Point Military Academy had done nothing else than to create the interest they have in the two Government training schools, they would have served a useful purpose. One thing, they have opened up to the public the possibility of increasing attendance at both West Point and the Naval Academy. There is no reason, for instance, why our leaders could not prevail upon the vice-president to make four or five of his twenty-two appointments from the group at the District of Columbia, which could not include a colored youth in the number recommended by them. Likewise, one of the four appointed at large from each state in the Union should be colored. A program of training for the next two years should prepare at least 100 youth for these examinations and at that time at least forty should be recommended if our leaders get busy. There is a work our fraternities might take up with success. It would be well worth their efforts and they are more intimately in touch with the factors involved. In every state a movement should be started to see that we get our share of these appointments. There is no reason why colored and white youth cannot train together to defend this country since they fight together when the need comes to action, we should fight every effort to secure the arms of the Federal Government a place where race prejudice can thrive. If you are happy and satisfied with the way this world of ours is serving your daily life, it may help you to appreciate your good fortune if you take a leaf from the pages of some others who are not. Over in Washington the day and a chance in the world those who always make interesting reading — interesting because in some way or other most of us feel the common touch of sorrow, disappointment, love, hope, hate and revenge at some time in the span of our lives. Here is the ancient struggle and instinct which human beings have brought along with them in the animal world. The animal world. The principal, Dr. Arthur L. Curtis and his wife, socially prominent, and the 29-year-old Eva Fitzhugh, not so prominent socially, but whose life has been woven into this fabric of conflicting emotions, ask their day before the bar of justice in straightening out the same kind of domestic tangle that we have seen in the low, the rich and the poor, to the same level of human struggle. It is always the good instinct in womankind, even when kindled to flames of burning hatred or cruel torture, which makes her fight for her home — her nest — even though like a hen setting on empty nest there are children on her nest. Likewise, the same instinct may cause a misguided woman to depart from the conventional, man-made path to fight for possession of the man she loves. A few thousand years ago our ancestors would have settled such a tangle with clubs, and the struggle would have been to the death. Today our weapons are different, and our ancestors would have utilized where the third party stands by to try to see that the fight is fair, but the struggle is just as deadly. Whatever decision the court gives in the case of Eve Fitzhugh against Dr. Arthur L. Curtis and Helen Gordon Curtis, may serve to end the record, so far as those who look on are concerned, or crushed the heart and soul out of someone. Behind the scenes of most of such little everyday human tragedies is where the real struggle takes place. And no court decision can bring to life the something deep down in the human heart which has received the thrust of the fatal siltile when either men or women fight for the things they love. Every man and woman who does physical or mental work to make the wheels of industry turn will find interesting meditation reading the 1929 list of income tax returns. Following the stock market crash, throwing thousands out of work, many men get paid a number of men getting more than one million dollars each year has doubled. There were 24 people who had incomes of more than five millions of dollars in 1929 due to the stock boom which preceded the crash. While there were the 24 who received more than $5,000,000 income, the majority of it would take 1,500 men to earn at the prevailing laborer's wages, there 1,574,671 incomes of less than $5,000. It may be lawful and regular for a man to take $5,000,000 salary or income out of industry, but when it is understood thoroughly that these overbalanced incomes must of necessity cause underbalanced wages for the highest working class, the million, it is a question as to whether it is fair and honest. There is, for instance, no productive pursuit or work in which one man can produce in values $16,000 each working day, which he would have to do to earn $25,000,000 a year. A man can get $16,000 daily only under an economic system whereby he can draw part of the pay of thousands of other men who are active workers. When the worker in general understands just what is going on and these big incomes are related to the falling of wages, the lack of employment, the privation, sickness and sometimes death in his family, he will begin to act in a more direct way against it. The Government is trying out a kind of restrictive measure in the income tax system, but this system is doing a great deal of harm to legitimate business which is trying to properly distribute its earnings. Some day they will get at its source, and then a man can caught taking five millions of dollars each year or $1,600 each day for his share of the world's work will be deaf with as a burel. Chips from the Quarry The use of the apostrophe to indicate the possessive case, continued. As stated in the previous talk, Harvey's rule for the possessive case is too comprehensive. He says: "a noun or pronoun to limit to *meaning of a noun denoting a diffuse or thing is in the possessive case*." It is true that a noun in the possessive case does limit the meaning of another noun; for example, when we say "Susan's book," we must own by or in the possession of Susan. So, "Shakespeare's Plays," refers only to plays written by that particular author. On the other hand we can say, "A Shakespeare's book," or "A road train," without putting the modifying word in the possessive form. If we wish to refer to the football team of Morgan College we may say: "Morgan's team" or "possession of Morgan's team." Referring back to Harvey's definition (rather than his rule) which says that the possessive case is used to denote "ownership, authorship, origin, or kind," the only instance of these juxtaposition may be used — and indeed is generally used — for all the instances cited except actual ownership. Even in the case of ownership, we may resort to the use of the "boy" or "the boy" "the coat of Joseph." (This is the French method — there is no possessive case in French.) Yet Harvey's definition (not rule) is nearly enough correct and complete to be worth memoriz- When expressing the relation of ownership, authorship, or origin, persons who are meticulous in their language, restrict the use of the possessive car to persons or the possessive car as personalities, for example "Susan's book," "Eucil's geometry," "the sun's rays," but not, "the house's roof," nor "the car's platform." Indeed it is not easy to see how a house or a car could own anything. In such cases the prepositional phrase "for the use of the possessive case to indicate 'kind,' as for example 'boys' clothing," seems fixed in the language, and with its kindred use to denote quantity, as, "a month's pay," presents our chief difficulty, which will be discussed in the next talk. F. H. M. M. Just His Duty. "He wore no uniform, nor bore a sentinel's gun, but no soldier in the service of this country ever stuck to his post through greater difficulty or at greater hazard to his life than did L. T. Holt, Negro railway clerk of Nashville, in the recent wreck on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad at Traford, Ala., according to reports that he have reached the city. We must wait for relief," said the Negro, weak from the loss of blood as he clung to the top of a pile of registered mail pouches in the wild debris of the overturned cars and the appalling groans of injured sufferers. An ambulance had stopped to take him to Birmingham for aid. An attendant raised his shirt. There was an ugly wound in his side and broken ribs protruded through. Loss of blood had made him too feeble to land. Your life is in danger — you must have treatment. He was told. "No," came his response. "I have rotary lock pouches from Montgomery and Birmingham. I must have orders, or aid from officials before I leave them." "The ambulance moved off and this soldier of the government's registered mail service kent his salary vigil until relief came." - Nashville Bane The Week's Crop.

BY ZENOBIA A. ALEXANDER The origin of the question: "Are Buffalo Negroes Progressive?" may be stated thusly: For five days-from January 4-9-Mr. J. A. Rogers, a known feature writer, was a guest of friends in this city. Quite unlike the large Negro populations in many other big centers—New York, Washington, and several points South where the Negro population towers far above the 100,000 mark-Mr. Rogers did not see Buffalo Negroes owning and operating massive banking institutions, massive realy corporations, big insurance companies, or luxurious theatres. Mr. Rogers indicated the Buffalo Negro in the following terms: "Buffalo cannot be said to be a progressive city, racially." Obvious Sins of Progress that the 12,000 Negroes in Buffalo have progressed nominally, to be recognized needs only to be shown, and we offer an argument that Jim Grow sometimes arises in this city, but he almost always over-ridden by a strong democratic sentiment. The local social power loses its coloring in that one all in Buffalo; and colored people enjoy, immeasurably, the same privileges as those enjoyed by other people. And under this form of racial discrimination, in ten one all part late migrants from the South have prospered in proportion to their numerical representation. Advance in Politics Within the last five years Negroes have taken a decisive stand in the political situation, and today they are ten Negro committee members, particularly in the local situation. And through the efforts of the local branch of the National Negro Business League three colored men have served as jurors in the courts of the Negroes. The Negroes are represented in many of the departments of municipal administration. Dr. Seruas. City Physician Dr. I. L. Scruggs has been Assistant Medical Examiner of the city since 1924. On the Health Board with Dr. Scruggs is also Gerard Millar, who for twelve years, has been Sanitary Officer. He was appointed after a competitive civil service examination. Two Neeros are on the police force. Oliver Bragg and George Sarsnett. In the Department of Social Welfare is Miss Clara Payne. In the Bureau of Vital Statistics is Miss Edna Davis. Six Women Teachers In the schools of the city there are six colored women holding teacher positions. Mrs. Susie E. Morse, Mrs. Alice M. Mrs. Siena E. Morse, Mrs. Alice M. Mrs. Elsa Plummer, Mrs. M. Lena Glasby, Miss Lucie Wheeler, and Miss Taylor (the latter a visiting teacher) sit students of every race and nationality represented in Bulla Vendome Hotel At the very time that Mr. Rogers was in our city, he could have seen, if he had gone around to the Vendome Hotel, more than fifteen carpenters, plasterers, masons, andlayers making a $40,000 improvement on the Hotel Endone, a house owned by William R. Clot, colored man. The Urban League Mr. Rogers reviewed Negro business and professions and dealt at length upon the Y.M.C.A. (which is certainly doing a great work) in the study of the units of the city was omitted from his articles. In 1929 the Urban League operated on a $9,000 budget. The executive secretary, William L. Evans, served as assistant secretary and secretary of the special committee dealing with Negro prisoners. In the spring of 1929 the League merged, on took over the Center; and in 1930 the merger will operate on a budget of $25,000.

Certainly, a notable addition to Negro welfare. It is obviously impossible to treat the process of 12,000 persons within the limits of a single room, despite the Nero popup being both young and small. Negroes in Buffalo are in the courts on the medical board, in the department of streets, in the department of schools as committee. They own hotels, on one of which alone. $40,000 worth of provement is now under the control of their own fine homes; and in addition to being in the Department of Public Welfare; they are doing a tremendous work in Y.M.C.A. and Urban League. prudans. A good letter credits Mr. Roewers with a good intention in his indictment; but he unfortunately misrepresented a mere handful of misdeeds. Regros, he followed the war and its aftermath, migrated to Buffalo some crude, unfortunate in the science of political economy and quite unlettered in the science of business and social phenomena. This holds, therefore, that his indictment is untenable, and therefore misleading. Africans Say: "African have much in common with us as wit and wisdom expressed in their proverbs show.

At least the church congregation thinks it did. For some time the church has been held on the advisability of retaining Rev. J. E. Kirkland as pastor. At the beginning of the meeting of Samuel D. Brown, William Seward, G. Eddy Dickerson, Warren J. Whitree and Robt. H. Boyd found themselves buried from the church. Contending that members have a right to vote to the proceedings, even if not eligible to vote, they finalized the doors open and entered When they entered they found that number of the supporters of the minor were already inside. Friends of the pastor rushed to the First District Police Station and requested that a police be sent to the church since the members of the sergeant refused, holding that the police department could refuse the members of the church right to enter into their own premises. Pemen were ordered to patrol streets adjacent to the church and sleep order, but not to enter the church discussion. Rev. Mr. Kirkland and all the people counted and helped Sup. Henry's name struck the list. Those who opposed the men were not counted. Henry was a man with a pipe running up and an arm the sides, shouting at the Moderator and quarrelling among the老师们. The chairman of the Trustee could have the lights put out and doors locked, but it was impossible for him or the pastor to order. Finally the master took his coat hat and left the pulpit, and the dews followed him out of the path and shouted and booing. FRACTURES LEG Descending the stems in her home, she Mamie Keene, 41, 415 N.

Name Street City State Looking at the World From a Woman's Pointof View Nannie H. Burroughs A.N.R. Why Negroes Have "Most Nigh Ruint" their Dispositions. Negroes are ruining their perfectly good dispositions fussing at, about, and with white folks. Fussing cankers the heart and makes us so "runtankerous and poremish" that we will not be able to get along among ourselves not even long enough to decide or make a change a real sure enough, honest-to-goodness, outside of the race, big fuss about, and how to go at it so as to win. Twenty years ago, some Negroes and some white folks (and there are others) who were before long) did get together long enough to organize an anti-junching crusade to get the bad end of the white race sufficiently civilized to stop their tongues, cutting off their limbs, plucking out their eyes, taring and feathering them, saturating their bodies with kerosene oil, setting them on fire and fighting for the bones of After years of hard work the Advancement Association has reasoned enough sense into the wild end of the white race to get them to reduce association stopped fussing and got down to hard reasoning. They had to do it to save the bodies of Negroes and the souls of white folk and the face of America. That's the way to do it. Reason together. Together. Association as an indoor and outdoor sport, winter and summer, is just too engaging to allow us time to exercise our Christian graces. Something must be done about it. It is constitutionally weakening and socially demonized and robs too many people of a ghost of a chance to get to heaven. Fuss. Fuss. Fuss Here is what we are up against. If we get on a street car we have to get in a fuss about a fire-seat seat. If we get on a bus we have to fuse because all of us do not choose to go to the roost. If we are perfectly decent and move into a decent community we have to fuss to get to live in our own house. If we are not about what we should learn. If we go to the store, we have to fuss about not being served. If we go to a hotel we have to fuss about being refused and if we go to church we have to fuse about un-Christian treatment which we receive. Having to fuse nearly all the time and about everything that belongs to you, we need a natural for them to want, "has most high rung" our dispositions and pauzered our souls. This thing of mind or "get them told" everything you turn around or every time you turn up anywhere, outside of the penitentiary, will be the best. We about to learn our world-wide reputation for being good-natured. General Smuts Now here we were fussing, as usual, about our affairs right here in America when along comes General Simms from "over home" and called our kinskies to ask for help. "I hinned" right there on the platform. It just plops the evening—that's all. Now every Negro newspaper in the country is giving the General a piece of its mind. You know that is awful. We won't have any minds left by the time we get enough giving these people pieces of Parham We did not get over that Snuts kick off Parham was put out of of West Point for flanking, and now we have got to fuss about that, and send him right straight back there to work that. Fifthtime, we have got to fight the extreme ends of the poles were not enough, up junns Senator Capper from the wild West flaunting into our faces a detestable bill, fresh from the shades of the fifteenth century, proposing national regulation of marriage and divorce, and the whole black world is organizing to fight cast, mind you. Senator Capner Now we have got to fuss about that bill because right through here Negro are having enough trouble marrying and divorcing their own and their children, and the further demoralized by legalized concubinage. no sneer! Here is where every Negro outside of the insane asylum will fuss in self-defense—not to break the white race from breaking into his race with license. Fussing all over Africa and America about our God-given, blood-bought rights is making us disagreeable. The Emperor of Rome. We used to sing, grin, and wear the world as a loose garment, but this bad end of the white race is making us fuss and frown and tighten up for combat. The good end of the white race is making their wild ones off of us, but we know how difficult it is because we have some bad Negroes whom we have to hold off of white folks sometimes, particularly when the act was white, when the act was black, our angelic auspices majoring in fussing with ordinary white folks. They are not worth it. Let's pool our brains and work, and we will get somewhere. If we keep on fussing the virus of hate will poison our souls and we will not enjoy this earth and we will miss Heaven. Stop trying to DO the bad end of the white race by fussing and OUT DO them by actual work. Let's get ahead and go ahead, THAT'S THE DOPE.

MA APPROVED (Special to the AFRO) PHILADELPHIA. — Leroy Johnson, chef cook and powerful "personality man" was convicted by an all-will jury on statutory charges, and sentenced by Judge Knowles, of municipal court, to serve from 3 to 6 years. As a result of a raid on Johnson's apartment in the building 765 N. 47th Street, which Officer Kelly was reported as a disorderly place, colored and in which he expected to seize liquor, but found none, the relationship between Johnson and a 16-year-old white high school girl, Florence London, was brought to light. It all came about as result of a party held during the Christmas holidays, at which it is said there were nine white women and two colored women and ten colored men, when a teacher (9 A.) reported to be first floor rear, Building C. of the Booker T. Washington Apartments) was placed under an 8-days' surveillance. Following the said, a number of pictures were produced, but only one—that of the London girl—was admitted in evidence. It was through the photograph, which the girl testified she had had made for Johnson, that the child sweetheart was traced. Johnson a Magnet Johnson, it appears, was a man who attracted white people like a magnet. His employer and his employer's wife were loyal to him throughout the trial. And one of the two white women Mrs. Elizabeth Wilson, reported to have frequented the apartment, was herself deeply infatuated with Johnson, as the letter read by District Attorney DeVilto, and admitted as her own, attested. Johnson was a woman, and her friend Alice Broman, whom she claimed was always along, when she visited the defendant's home, and two men, William Young and Fisher, who visited the defendant's home, and joined Johnson came in a few moments later. It was at this time that Kelly seized some of the burning love-letters written by Florence London, and her "rival" to their swahery lover, Harried Him to Death. As a matter of fact, Johnson said the woman worried him to death. They annoyed him night and day. And he often went to work in the mornings leaving them to entertain themselves with the radio, or anyway But it was the young West Philadelphia high school girl who declared that she loved Johnson and with her, or him, what they would. Nothing Denied And she attempted to deny anything as regards Johnson's relationship almost defiant "Yes," to the questions under cross-examination, by counsel for the defense. Raymund P. Alexander and M. Nix, told her side of the case. When Mr. Alexander read her letters before the jury, and stopped occasionally to ask questions, his condiments, she would push, push her coat far back from her shoulders, swallow hard, and breathe a scarcely audible "Yes." Once she could not even form that monosyllabic reply, so with an air of breath, they had to accept "the huh." Judge Blushes So impassioned were these messages, and so exquisitely worded that the judge's face, already hardened, and ruddy, became a brilliant scapegoat. His ill-disguised resentment at the entire situation manifested itself in his somewhat heated arguments in defense of the defendant, who violently wished. Alexander found it necessary to make certain objections, many of which were finally sustained. It was particularly noticeable when the possession was written about it, a letter written by Mrs Wilson, and Johnson's attorneys objected to the jury's presence, on the grounds that the missive might contain such material as to exascribe prejudice against the judge. That judge Knowles was highly perturbed. He exploded with: Court Exuldes "Counsel, you asked that one man in the jury box be changed that man to the request for another to be removed, and that was grumped. Now you ask that the entire jury be sent out, and you ask that there are any other things you can think of." A few more seconds of argument, then: you have any place to send them, all right. You have some room where these men can go and be com- fortable. If these men do not object to standing in the corridor for a while, I don't mind. Go ahead! send me what to eat. Get a new what. Do you like?" Then with more equanimity, if not without satire: "Gentlemen of the jury, do you mind stepping into the corridor for about three minutes to please Mr. Alexander?" Courtroom Cleared He had already ordered at the beginning of the trial that the courtroom he cleared of all those not directly interested in the case. It had been filled almost entirely by the jury, who testified that she met Leroy Johnson when he came into her mother's delicatessen store. 4651 Brown Street, where white serving him, they struck him out, and he complained to the court, she married her over to his apartment, which is at the corner of 47th and Brown Streets. She accepted, as she did each of his subsequent ones, made upon each visit. He took his Door. She further testified that she would walk past his home in the mornings on the way to school, and either walk outside for him, or ring his ball. They would walk to the house, sometimes when he would walk with her until met by his friend Fisher, who would drive him from that point to his work. Moreover, when he needed invaded, he forced to accept the invitation A THREE DAYS' COUGH IS YOUR DANGER SIGNAL CREOMULSION FOR THE COUGH FROM COLDS THAT HANG ON "MONKEY IN AROUND" Vocal with Guitar, Banjo and Clarinet by JAKE JONES with the GOLD FRONT BOYS Brunswick race record #7130 ELECTRICALLY RECORDED Jane'S feelin' mighty peevish.

And when further quizzed as to whether she was a defendant or had been employed to bring about the return visits, she again answered in the negative. Pictures Made for Him The girl also admitted that when she found she could not keep her engagements with him she would write him to that effect, and ask him when could she see him again. What is more, the photograph given to him was one she had taken especially for him, and the day they were to have been finished she could not have seen him if he could go down and get them, saying that they were already paid for. Gave Sister Dog Johnson, Florence testified, had given her sister a dog for Christmas, and had made her a present of sills and a birthday cake for her sister's birthday, and while she was ill had sent her soup every day, concerning all of which her mother was aware of, however, that Johnson had never called upon her at her home.* *When her mother took the stand, she gave the ovals to the judge. Although Mr. Gromin of the bureau of vital statistics testified that he failed to find record of birth in that year, 1914. The court ruled that the records are approximately one-third of the birds are never registered. "Fine Fellow"—Ma When admitting that she had said that Leroy Johnson is a fine fellow, adding: "And I still say so" Mrs. London denied she said that it was too bad he wasn't English. There were almost a dozen witnesses, residents in the apartment house, who testified that Johnson was a lawyer, and the law-abiding vogue man, and was apparently, well liked. Fine Apartments The apartment occupied by Johnson was not only one of over one hundred, known as the Booker T. Washington Apartment. Buildings A, B, and C, 761-3-8 M 474 Ave. in Philadelphia, some of Philadelphia's finest families. It is comparatively small, and this is the first breath of scandal to touch it. Attorney Alexander brought this out in his charges to the jury and mourned that they have done home establishment by finding the defendant guilty of maintaining a "disorderly house," merely on the strength of one party. Age Not Established He also charged that the age of the girl had not been established by any evidence presented by the commonwealth, and that she had admitted unequally the wrongs of being violated or enticed to commit the misdemeanor, but had repeatedly done so of her own free will, and that certainly was not rapa. Disregard Race Judge Knowles charged the jury, as did also District Attorney Devito, to disbar altogether to the evidence, and to disbar altogether to the social element involved.

WASHINGTON. — Carrying into life the same material disposition, courage and tenacity which characterized him as a student, gridron star and good fellow, Dr. Reginald E. Beamon, college and dental graduate of Howard University, has attained a position of acknowledged leadership, in Cinchiniati, Ohio. In a letter recently received from the executive secretary of the Negro Civic Welfare Association, a department of the Community Chest and Cinchiniati there announces the following: "During the last four years more progress has been made along all lines in this city than was made during the previous forty years, the more progress has been made. Negroes is the emerging of a newer leadership in the person of Dr. Reginald Beamon, a prominent dentist of city, an annuus man of United States, Dr. Beamon led the city forces in their support of the charter form of city government, which resulted in the election of six charter men out of a total of nine of them. Dr. Beamon is now placed in a strategic position which will enable him to secure the appointment of a number of Negroes to important positions in New York. Negro has occupied more strategic position in Cincinnati during the past quarter of a century. His elevation to this position is the more important because of his contact with Negroes and what they represent."

That's the bit of philosophy that Cabell can draw. "More than Cabell, drummer, now with 'Hot Chocolatees,' would give to the younger group of the Monumental city's citizenry. Cab, one of the most likeable chaps around town, should know where he speaks to, a short span of existence he has had, interesting and profitable experiences. CAPTAIN OF CAGE TEAM. Graduating from the Lauraville public school at Wilson Park, here, young Callaway entered the college and graduated in 1927. Although his particular interest was music, Cab found time to participate in athletics, captaining the "Duck basketball team" of the instructor, Llewiel Wilson, found him a ready pupil, so that with the assistance of his sister, the now popular Blanche Callaway, and his mother, Mrs. Eulalia way-Fortune, young Cab made rapid IN HIS SCHOOL REVUE. When the high school gave a revue at the Royal Theatre. Cab had a leading part. Responding aptly to the teaching of his sister, he began dancing, dance steps and emerged as a song and dance man. At the Regent Theatre in 1926 he worked as a member of a stock company, his first number being the then "For Two" sung with Millie Holmes. Learning how to play the drums, the aspiring thespian joined Johnny the singer, shortly after to join "Plantation Days" then playing at the Royal Theatre. When this vehicle disbanded he for leaving and consequently cast his lot in the Windy City. WANTED TO BE LAWYER. Work was not hard to secure, as he had now become a polished performer, so that a short time afterward he worked in law. Cafe Café aure to study law sent Cab to the Crane College of Law in the Windy City, but going to school and working long hours did not agree with the aspiring barrister, an ambition for law was a memory. A polished master of ceremonies, Cab graduated thru Chicago's night clubs. working in that capacity at the barrister's office before going on the road with his sister, Blanch, in a tab, "The Creole Folles." But the fade of the road soon faded, and Cab found himself back at the Sunset, acting as pro- spector, a ceremonies and orchateacher. DREAMED OF BROADWAY. During all of this time he dreamed of a place where he and gaze had a particular appeal for him. It was a pleasant surprise, then, when after extended engagements at the Cinderella and Mary Garden ballet rooms in Chicago, Cab was invited to a summer camp to feed themselves under contract with the Music Corporation of America for an itinerary that headed them right into Heaven. During his 10-week engagement at the Savoy that Connie Immerman spied him. "Would he take the part in 'Hot Chocolates,' vacated by Paul Bass? "Try and keep me good, and his singing of 'Aln't Mistbehavin'," with dainty Margaret Simms, is one of the hints of the show. MARRIED YORK GIRL. Yes, girls, the debonair Cab is marrying Miss Winona Conacher, Buffalo, NY. They were scaled in 1928. "As long as I go over. Till stay on the stage" Cab THEATRE says, "but after that I'll probably get the civil service and for it all."

There is no part of the city that is unknown to him and his feet have tapped the boards of every theatre in town. A few years back he was what the old timers called a "knockout drop." There was nothing that he couldn't do when it came to the stage. Singing, dancing, acrobatic stunts, impersonations, blackface comedy, straight man, well Then he had a company of his own and he could tell you the Toby circuit backwards. But he could never do a penny — long. His show stranded, he couldn't pay off. What else was there to do but disappear? Grabbing a job here, now there, from kind hearted managers who knew him in balmier days, the terrestrial world. His historic gift was that he was liberally endowed with the ability of an Ananias, and this gift of gabs somehow, always found a willing ean—and a loan usually resulted in him being held at a Communist demonstration. And then came the numbers. What a break! He knew everybody and his book grew like a butcher's bill, every commission he had, while he played a hunch and "hik," usually for a nickel or a dime. Prosperity did not show itself in his outward appearance, however, for he still wore the ragged and greasy coat. He was saving his money, living under the same conditions that pinched him when he had nothing. But he wouldn't pay back the loans of those who befriended him in trouble times, that he didn't think that he had the money. But they found it out. It was a Pennsylvania express that he boarded. No one has seen him since. But if he returns to town. True Story In case this isn't true, then "The Chronicle," official organ of the Federated Colored Catholics, is responsible. It concerns a familiar race screen character, whose droll, lazy humor and melodious voice make him a bit like Bowie. He is a side to his life that few people know. They would be surprised to know that he is a Catholic, and more surprised to see him at Mass every morning of the week. He certainly Los Angeles Catholic Church. These same people would probably succumb of shock when told that ten per cent of his earnings (and his envelope contains around $6000) every Saturday he has appointed a Catholic charities priest to deduct that amount from his weekly pay check and distribute it where it will do the most good. *Gag* The story is told of a Hollywood valet, who in addition is a deacon in a church. Financial matters at the church grew critical, and the deae said "Wild west collections—too many Indians and Buffaloes." *Maybe You Know* It was about the swankiest night club that I was a kid. I was known by the deae owned by One Of Us. Everything was in hotsy toty style for the big butter and egg men with elephant-choking rolls of money. But it is seem- 1329 Pennsylvania Avenue Telephone, Madison 3587 Hear and See Viaphone and Movicone HEAR THE BEST TALKIES First Run In City The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, February 8, 1930 ed that there was no room in the ime for the darker brother with smaller The best looking gels in town displayed their charms there, and the hottest norn tooters in town blew their blue notes there. And then came vandals and hoodlums who wreck the place, causing almost irrelevant damage. Fingers of such supernatural place would be thought that every place would remain dark. But willing lads and lassies pitched in to help restore the place to its original luxury and splendor. The damage was several grand, and while gay Harlem smiled like a smoker, the man he managed to see, the man he But what is worrying him most, and is causing him to wear out grosses and grosses of pencils to say nothing of reams and reams of paper, is why a certain competitor, the man who has a radicalism, tacked an extra half-buck to his cover charge. Where There's Smoking Leading cigarette manufacturers are authority for the statement that women smokers, unlike their male counterparts, are not added to "pumming." When madame reaches for a Lucky it is usually her own, and not one proffered by some one else. Ten years ago a young woman of standing who was caught smoking a cigarette would be socially ostracized. Now, smoking among women of the upper and lower classes is as common as smoking a pipe was among our grandmans and grandmans a half century ago. Thousands of women who smoke cigarettes absolutely refuse to drink or to cater to other fads that society on one hand abuses the other. Now driving along on a country road, parked in cars in cities and at our most fashionable rendezvous you find that cigarette smoking is a favorite pastime with our most sedate feminines. Usually women prefer to be more up to date and stylish than the masculine rowd. They prefer carrying a poultry belt and the things that are packed in fancy containers for ostentation. For some reason, but few women smoke Turkish blend cigarettes. It is not a matter of price, they will tell you, which cigarettes they smoke, and which cigarettes, but it is a matter of taste. Lucky Strikes, Camels, and Chesterfield cigarettes, seem to be the preference, yet not one out of a thousand can tell you why she prefers domestic smokers. Cleveland, Washington and New York female smokers run male smokers a neck and neck race. Glory, Halleluiah! Down in Georgia more than a decade ago, age ten, voice tone rang out. It wilted. Culture and training of that voice have brought to its possessor, Roland Hayes, loud songs of praise and joy. He spent a week abroad this month, on his sixth visit of America he has been the recipient of the following newspaper bouquets. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said: "A race held pass in review. "You could have heard a pin drop or your Ingersoll tick. you could see apple, great sense, and hard-pounding applause, great applause and people meant what their hands told. "And there was philosophy, satire, religion, romance and imagination in us and some of us for the singing part of banged for the glory of the tune and text. Which is all about Roland Hayes, last night at Carnegie Music Hall; Roland Hayes, the superlative artist." And From the "The oft-speeled rallies were in place on the platform; between them the crowd was the audience for the artist. Mr Roland Hayes, to go to his place before the huge company of listeners. And as eye left the crowd, the crowd of alse people standing, shoulder to shoulder, along the length of that long. alse. To the statement that the house was sold out one could not be satisfied in unilateral objection or reservation. "Mr. Hayes stands before his public not in any sense a vocalist, but in every sense a singer. The distinction is vital. Many of the greatest singers have been negligible as vocalists. Mr. Hayes, a vocalist, can claim powers far, very far, from being negligible. Further, and not in a derogatory sense, Mr. Hayes is essentially a miniatureist. The camo in music is his field. In songs in which cameo-like arts of interpretation can be exercised, Mr. Hayes seems to be without a peer." Hayes is now planning a seventh U.S. tour. His summer will be spent as usual abroad. In the Mail: "Louis Armstrong and two Broadway producers, presented Dr. John T. Gibson, manager and owner of Gibson's New Standard Theatre and owner of Gibson's Yiddish Theatre, a solid silver three-foot loving cup their very successful business relationship. The director, who is the only race millionaire in the State of Pennsylvania, thanked his donors in a manner that will continue to spur them on to greater financial success." Alberta Back in Harlem Alberta Hunter, who packed them in at the Grand Terrace in Chicago for six weeks, has returned to Harlem. Miss Hunter is being urged to attend abroad which will tour the British Isles, Europe and Africa.

Harlem Outstrips Paris Naughtiness Says Frenchmen Visitor Sees Scenes in Cabrrets of of New York that Would Nev. be Permitted Abroad, He Declares. PARIS—The color question in America continues to receive annual attention from New York Press. In addition to many articles that have appeared recently are a series in three consecutive numbers of Grigioe, one of the leading results. Each article occupies a half-figure of full newspaper size, and all are written by Jean LaSerrie. The second article, January 10, is devoted to Harlem, the writer, of Old Spain, the concession, which he says seems odd since there is hardly any relation between a black dancer and Don Quixote. But, he adds, the New Yorker kept the perfume of Granada, "enchanted region of Moorish civilization." Fires the Blood He continues, "But I do not wish to say that all that passes in Harlem are smiles, Joy and enchantment. There is a beautiful setting, a pow'r, a warmth and passion and language that sets the blood on fire, but this setting has a reverse side. "Harlem is an island lost in a world of falschöd and bewildered what of what is read and is seen in the newspapers and the theaters in Paris would not be permitted in New York, and then sees in Harlem scenes that would never be tolerated in Paris, readily understand the New York quarter got information for debaustion. Whiteo's Rottney. "It is the whites who have made it so rotten. This little Negro town is the place where every honest American can be found, he does daily and disgusting and then blame it on someone else. At night all cats are black, and with stronger reason in the black quarter. Evidently the Negroes themselves, are not all models of bounded Suit Lake City—and since they find it to their financial advantage to take part in the debauch, they do the best they can." Behind Cabaret Doors The writer goes on to describe at length or rather to hint strongly at a scene that takes place behind a door at a place he calls C—where he adds that he knew he would have a door with a loud laugh" on a white couple, the girl being drunk. A dispute goes on for a while between the couple, he says, but he adds that he knew he might have had his skull cracked for his pains, "besides," he adds, "Americans are accustomed to this sort of thing. A good many tender Hyls have commenced with these assaults, which we have always thought so unlikely." "Later, in the early morning I saw a poor bedraggled girl, without a hat, staggering and with red eyes, in search of a taxi, and trying to hide under her fur coat the torn lace on her shoulder." In the Booths In the booths of these cabbages which he says are "never occupied by Negroes," he has witnessed other night among which is the sate of opium. The Negro, he finds, "has exerted himself to divide the he remains in the black belt and does not find himself at the exit when the crowd is coming out to see him." He does not attempt to use the stools in prayer in that place of worship." M. LaSerre concludes: "The Americans experience no shame at all at these things. The black race among them is like to the Jew in certain countries one must be considered only as so many utensils. They are despised. As soon as one is finished with them, or believe he is he maltrachts them, until he is ready to demand their services again. U.S. Brutality." "The brutality of the pure American toward the Negro is something so extraordinary that the Negro must astonishes one as something one will never be able to understand. The most delicate young girl that would fall into a faint at the sight of a poodle struck by an arrow would be astonished by the spectacle of a Negro being lynched. If she did not take an actual part in the ceremony it would mean that the stones in the pavement would be too heavy for her to throw. Negroes still in America for three lives as Jews did between pogroms." "And she I have mentioned Negroes along with Jews I must add that all that is produced worthwhile in the United States of things artistic—absolutely everything: theatre, music hall, motion-picture, music—originates from Jews, Negroes or foreigners, one that the philistine descendants of the Puritans, the Quakers, and the sons of the farmers of the Middle West, execute what the above-mentioned have originated."

"Ain't mischievous," nodder, ain't misbehavin'" The scene was Gary, Indiana, during the summer of 1928, and the characters in this little snatch of conversation were just two of the town's roustabouts. just two of the town stolesters. Thomas (Fats) Waller, styled today as "the Rachmaninoff of Jazz," spending a few days in the Hoosier city, heard it. And as he rambled about the town, he heard this bit of slang again and again. "Some day," said "Fats" to himself, "I'm going to write a piece around that bit of slang." And for a while, he forgot that he had ever heard it. Melody Lingers On Back in New York, however, the memory of the phrase seemed to haunt him, so much so, that four days before Christmas 1928, the rotund ivory ticker sat down and made a rough draft of the song. He called in Andy Razaf the lyric writer, and in four days the pair had completed the song. A "Fateful" Story With Andy Razaf, "Fats" is the composer of "My Fate Is In Your Hands," which, by the way, has passed the 750,000 mark since it came out in November. "The way that piece got its name is funny," said the genial pianist-organist, as he reminisced a while. "And Andy Razaf, Al Poindexter, violinist, and myself, were speeding through Asbury Park on our way to But like the line in the song, they kept it "on the shelf" until February 1929. One day when Connie Hemman was head over heels with plans to put his floor show on Broadway as "Hot Chocolates," "Fats," who was working at Connie's Inn then, took the piece to him and played it over. Connie Almost Missed It The voluble Connie threw up his hands in despair. "Take it away," he cried. "I can't use it." But "Fats" was not so easily discouraged. He called in Andy and the two insisted that Connie hear the number again. After much persuasion the producer decided to give the piece a trial. What has happened since is familiar history to most of us who have either heard the number in "Hot Chocolates" over the radio, or heard records or otherwise. Today the sales have passed the 300,000 mark. "Fats" Waller, the composer of this popular number, takes all of this success nonchalantly, with only 25 of the most popular numbers that he has become used to popularity. The composer, who tips the beams at over the 200-pound mark, compiles a series of songs that weighed 348 pounds, but his father weighed only 110. From the age of five, "Fats," who was born in New York City, has been thinking around with a piano. He never took a lesson until he was 10, but at that time could play any instrument. Mrs. Edna Perrin, a race woman, was his first teacher, and today, at 68, he gets just as much joy out of her former pupil's success as he does. He is a teacher for Carl Bohlo of the Gulmont Conservatory, and as a theatre organist "Fats" is one of the best in the court try. "Fats" quit Wadley High School in his junior year to cabaret job He has played in Chicago and has Essie Smith's first accompanist. It was in 1921 that he first started composing music for publication, and amon: some of his best sellers have been "Seniorita Mine," "Squeeze Me," and "I've Got a Feeling I'm Falling." Few people know that he composed the music for "I Can't Give You Anything But Love," the hit of Low Leslie's "Blackbirds," "Fats," in need of cash, sold the number to Jimmy McHugh, white, for $500, and the piece has since brought to $35,000. "Never again, will I do a trick like that," "Fats" reflected. "Think of the money I could have made."

"The way that piece got its name is funny," said the genial pianist-organist, as he reminisced a while. "And Andy Razaf, Al Poindexter, violinist, and myself, were speeding through Asbury Park on our way to Bradley Beach, about 1:30 one morning, when a constable stopped us. Constable Relents "He soaked a $50 fine on us, and as the three of us did not have the necessary dough, Razaf said: 'Give me a break, Mr. Constable.' And whether it was those words or not, the constable softened and accepted the money we had, about $24, in payment of the fine. "The next day Andy, reciting the incident, said, "Fats, let's write a piece with the title, 'My Fate is in Your Hands.'" We did, and you know the rest." Connie took "Fats" out of the Inn to go on the road with "Hot Chocolates" when the show opened. Broadened his view, Waller back to the popular Harlem rendezvous to perform specialities on the newly installed three-man organ which Connie got especially for him. He will also start work on the music for "A Load of Coal," the show Connie expects to open in the spring. "You must have atmosphere in order to be able to compose music," "Fats" confided. "Whenever I see an unusual situation or hear a catchy phrase, I will write a song and say I clang saying I've heard so much in Baltimore. And if I do I'll name it after that expression 'Can't Stand', which I've heard so much here. I have heard such finger songs such weird harmonies from a piano, is a busy man, being under contract to one company to write 18 numbers each year, and under contract with a recording company to make a commercial number. I have heard these pieces, the pianist confides, are improvised in the studio the same day that they are made. And when you consider the fact that you write all of the music for Connies, and play his organ specialities, you'll see that "Fats" is quite a busy man.

When the bank was established it had deposited of only $8,000, which increased by size till it has reached $800,000. When one sees Mrs. Walker sitting in a solid manchay chair in bank, it is hard to visualize her as the daughter of a washerwoman carrying clothes which she and her mother had laundered to the泄露 of the Conspiracy. Yet this woman bank president's early life was passed amid At the left—The St. Luke Building. humble and unpromising surroundings. When Maggie Mitchell was born, however, her condition in life was far better than was that of many a child whose parents had been slaves and but newly freed, as hers had been. Her father, William Mitchell was the head waiter of the far-famed St. Charles hotel of Montreal, as high on the ladder as men of the colored group could then hope to reach. He provided a comfortable home for his family, not far from the house said to have been occupied by Edgar D. Young with John Allan, his adopted father. And at no great distance from the two-story frame her beautifully appointed office at the house in which Maggie lived was St. Paul's church, where present President Dwight D. Eisenhower received the cause of the Concederacy had been lost. But a tragedy occurred in Maggie's girlhood which made life for her graduated from the high school much harder than her father had suddenly disappeared. For five days his family his friends and the police of Eichmond searched for him and then found his lifeless body in the basement that Willingham Mitchell had been robbed, murdered and his body thrown into the James Helped with Washing After her father's death the daughter's condition in life was completely changed. A heavy responsibility was placed upon her for two children, a son and a daughter, and herself to support. She knew she could make more money taking in washing than by engaging anything else, and this scale as possible to do on as large a scale as possible. Maggie was an invaluable assistant. She helped with the cooking the washing, the ironing and the cleaning. But in spite of the hard manual labor she had to perform, Maggie Mitchell which had been established for colored children, in 1883. After that the young woman taught her how to dress, which she had formerly been a pupil, and then married Armstead Walker. Her husband was the son of an expert brickmason and building contractor, by whom some of the buildings in Richmond had been constructed. When Maggie Mitchell was only fourteen years old she took a steer which influenced and shaped her career. Her first assignment was her Dentor of St. Luke, whose headquarters were then and still are in Richmond. It would be as impossible to have Maggie Mitchell's life without referring to this organization as it would be to give the history of the St. Luke order without telling the role which Maggie Mitchell played. She made the order and the order made her. While serving this organization the opportunity was presented to Mrs. Browning, a graduate of head and heart which have caused her name to be known and her praises to be heard in every second United States where the colored American lives. Founded to Help The Independent Order of St Luke has an interesting History, indeed. It was formed in Baltimore Maryland, in 1867 by Mary Proul. The emancipation proclamation set her free. All around her she saw the newly emancipated slaves in their poverty and ignorance and the condition of those who were well and strong was bad enough, but it was pitable beyond description when the emancipation proclamation condition was deeply moved by the scenes of helplessness and misery she witnessed, this ex-slavery conceived the idea of establishing a fraternal organization to the sick and purify the dead. While the benefit to be derived from such an organization was apparent to those whom it was assigned to work with, nevertheless it was painfully slow. Many were the times when the founder and her assistants feared the St. Luke order could not surmount obstacles to success which blocked But the straw which seemed to break the camel's back was the sudden reservation of the man who served as from 1889 to 1899. When handed in his resignation and refused absolutely to serve another minute, the members of the feared that he had come to court were assigned by the secretary for refusing to hold office any longer were sufficient to discourage the most confirmed optimists among the membership. In place, he told them that there was no money in the treasury. The order was not swording fast enough. he said. He complained also that there was money in the court and grand officers and those of the subordinate councils. And last, but certainly not least, the salary of $300 a year was too small, he averred, were not well paid, and the stoutest small, the abdicating secretary informed the order that there was The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, February 8, 1930 4 DAYS — MONDAY—TUESDAY—WEDNESDAY—THURSDAY — 4 DAYS BELLE BAKER SONG of LOVE ALL TALKING SINGING DANCING!

Maggie Walker Unafraid If a bomb had been thrown into the meeting at which the information was furnished, it could scarcely have caused more distress than the confusion, while many were predicting that the order could not possibly survive the fatal blow which the secretary buckled on to succeed him. To make the office just as undesirable as possible, the salary was reduced from $300 to $100 a year. To make the secretary buckled on the armor and went to work. No sooner had she entered upon her duties than the organization took on new life and began to generate the secretary's personal magnet, her earnestness, her marked ability as a clear, forceful, persuasive speaker and her keen business acumen enabled up the organization in a very short time. The $31.66 which Mrs. Walker found in the treasury when she was elected thirty years ago has now increased to more than $100,000 of the fact that nearly $2,000,000 in death claims have been paid. The membership has grown from a little more than 3,000 to 103,000 women, men and children. The old building which we visited when we has disappeared and a handsome modernly constructed four-story brick office building has taken 'its' place. Moreover the 'order employs sixy men and women in the office and the office tenant. It is chartered under the laws of the state of Virginia, but it does business in twenty-three states. Including New York, Massachusetts Pennsylvania, Ohio. Connecticut. Mississippi and the District of Columbia. To Mrs. Waiker is largely due the credit for the raidlift with which the United States. It was she who urged the organization to establish its own printing department and which it represented an initial investment of $100,000. She rent the necessity of having an official cess and outline its plans. As a reorganize to express the aims and ideals of the organization, to report its suit of this suggestion, the St. Luke Herald was founded, a colored American newspaper. A Fund of Money to Help Ghetto An educational loan fund is another child of Mrs. Walker's brain. She has been instrumental in having the establishment of such a fund so that the young members of the order may "complete a practical education," provided they have been members of the organization one year, are recommended to establish of such a local circle also. "The loan will not be granted for a term longer than five years and the amount loaned may range from $50 to $100, provided the applicant signs a note to repay the obligation, so that some other young man or woman may receive assistance in the future." One of the greatest services Mrs. Walker has rendered the order of St. Luke was to found the juvenile department. That was done in 1895—one of the first things she did after joining it. Having started with 5,000 children, the membership has increased to more than 20,000. The celebration of the twentieth anniversary of Mrs. Walker's services as the "Right Worthy Grand-Secretary-Treasurer of the Independent Order of St. Luke" was one of the most remarkable ever observed in the United States. The resolutions read on that occasion declared that Mrs. Walker "has brought the organization to a state of prosperity beyond the fondest dreams of the founders." "There had been a arsena a greater soul nor a baker executive than our present right worthy grand secretary treasurer," was one of the declarations made. The members resolved further that "in order to show the depth of appreciation which this anniversary represents, we remove from her heart the embarrassment of re-election quadrennially and hereby recommend the suspension of the rule bearing on the election of secretary-treasurer during her natural life for the wood IN CLEVELAND THEATRES Drake and Walker's Cyclonic revue did a creditable week at the Globe.

Then, to give tangible evidence of their gratitude and appreciation the order increased and the Walker compensation increased 500,000 dollars but fair," the resolution states, "since the work under the new plan is doubled and the responsibility is greatly increased over the former years. Another reason for this increase is the high hiring. The preservation of dignity of our grand order demands that we keep our honored leader in comfort without pecuniary worry that she may give the best service to this work. If any one questions this as to magnanimous an action or as setting a dangerous precedent, we plead that we ask it as an exception (although bishops, not clergy, form in offices) and we acknowledge this to be an act of gratitude. It is beyond our present law but not beyond our love." And these resolutions are appropriate to the executive committee and by the organization as a whole. August 19, 1919. D.C.

Doris Rheubottom, bronze soprano, adds more to her store of laurels with the singing in "Collegiana," the stage attraction at the Royal Theatre, this week. Possessed of an exceptionally clear and sweet voice, the singer, who sang several numbers, probably reached her greatest heights in the popular number. "I'm Doing What I'm Doing for Love." While the stage vehicle being presented this week is rather loosely constructed, there are bright spots it which strengthen its bid for favor. Outstanding among these blits one finds the train calling of Speedy Smith and his "I don't believe it" line, John Mason's demonstration as a music director, a clark wire specialty by the Galanes Brothers; Jackie Babley's imponations of Johnny Hudgins; the clever bit of Tiny Alexander and Virginia Branun, two of the chorus members, the generally good dancing of the chorus.

A broad dancing area, bounded on three sides by a wide soft-carpeted promenade, on the fourth by an ample platform accommodating the two orchestras. People. Flesh. A fly-thick jam of dancers on the floor, grimly jostling each other; a milling herd of thirsty-eyed boys, moving slowly, searchingly over the carpeted promenade; a congregation of languid girls, lounging in rows of easy-chairs here and there, bodies and faces unconcerned, dark eyes furtively alert. A restless multitude of empty, romance-hungry lives. ter I'm hired. "You look like a full course dinner—and I'm starved." "Hold the personalities, papa." "No stuff. Wish I could raise a loan on you.

Stay out of my standing perfectly still. The girl had clasped her partner close about the shoulders with both arms. He face was buried in his chest. Baxter, who was facing the platform, looked up and saw Bus staring. He drew the girl closer, grinned, and shut one eye. They stood so a moment or an hour till Bus dragged his eyes away. Automatically he resumed beating time. Every moment or so his bator wavered, slowed, and hurried to catch up. The blues were very low-down. The nakedest were a series of periodic wails against background of steady, slow rhythm. Each pounding pulse descending inevitably, like leaden strokes of fate. Bus found himself singing the words of this grief-striken lament: Indigestion Immediate Relief! Part I. Bus Williams's jolly round brown face beamed down on the crowd as he directed his popular hit—She's Still My Baby: You take her out to walk And give her baby-talk. But talk or walk, walk or talk— She's still my baby! But the cheese-colored countenance of Fessenden Baxter, his professional rival, who with his orchestra occupied the adjacent half of the platform, was totally oblivious to She's Still My Baby. She had just caught sight of a girl, and sight of girls was one of his special accomplishments. Unbelief, wonder, amazement registered in turn on his bright features. He passed Ad over his straightened brown arm bent to Perry Parker, his untimely. "P. So you see what I see, or if it only the gin?" "Both of us had the gin," said P.P.

"You mean that's Bus Williams's folks?" "No lie. Miss Jean Ambrose, lord. The newest hostess. Bus got her the job." Fess Baxter's eyes followed the girl.

Indeed the more he looked, the less able was he to stop looking. Oblivious, the girl was engrossed in the crowd. Her amber skin grew clearer, and the roses imprisoned in it brighter as her merry black eyes danced over the jostling company. "Think you'll like it?" he asked. "Like it?" She was a child of Harlem and she spoke its language. "Boy, I'm having the time of my life. Imagine getting pald for this!" "You ought to get a bonus for beauty."

Her eyes grew suddenly onyx and stopped him like an abruptly reversed traffic signal. "What's the matter?" he said. She smiled and began nibbling the straw in her glass. "What's the matter. Jean?" "Nothing. Innocence. Nothing. You play a devilish one-step, doesn't he?" "Say. You think I'm living', don't you?" "No. darling. I think you're selling insurance." "Think I'm gettin' previous, just because I got you the job." "Well I never have much luck with jobs." "Well I don't care what you think, I'm going to say it." "Let's dance." "I just want to myself. When that did grows up, I'm going to ask her, to marry me." She called his bluff. "Well, I'm grown up." "Marry me, will you, Jean?" Her eyes relented a little in admiration of his audacity. Rarely did a sober aspirant have the courage to mention marriage. "You're good, Bus. I mean, you're good." "Every guy ain't a wolf, you know, Jean." "No. Some are just ordinary meat-hounds." From the change in his face she saw the depth of the thrust, saw pain where she had anticipated chargin. "It's dance," she suggested again, a little more gently. They had hardly begun when the number ended, and feet stood before them in irritating on his Swiss-cheese-colored face. "Your turn, young fellow," he said to Bus.

Occasionally he lost the pair: a brace of young wild birds double-timed through the forest, miraculously avoiding the trees; an extremely ardent couple, welded together, did a decidedly localize mess-around; that nigra of the neck pointed out sashaved into the line of vision, swung about, backed off, being fancy.

He drew the girl closer, grinned, and shut one eye. They stood so a moment or an hour till Bus dragged his eyes away. Automatically he resumed beating time. He pounded over his bottom, slowed, and hurried to catch up. The blues were very low-down, the nakedest of jazz, a series of periodic walls against a background of steady, slow rhythm, each pounding pulse descending inevitably, like leaden strokes of fate. Bus found himself singing the words of his grief-striken lamentation. Trouble—trouble has followed me all my days. Trouble—trouble has followed me all my days. Seems like trouble's gonna follow me always. The mob demanded an encore, a mob that knew its blues and liked them blue. Bus compiled. Each bus knew its blues, as it was caught up by a different voice: the walling clarinet, the weeping C sax, the moaning B flat sax, the trombone, and Bus's own plaintive tenor: Baby—Baby—my baby's gone away. Baby baby—my baby's gone away. Seems like baby—my baby's gone to stay. Presently the thing beat itself out, and Bus turned to acknowledge applause. He broke a bow off in half. Directly before the platform stood Jean, alone, looking up at him. He jumped down. "Dance?" No. Listen. You know what I said at the table? "At the table?" No lie.

Baxter swore and impelled his men into action, surreptitiously adjusting ruined pieces. The crowd had an idea what it was all about, and many good-naturedly derided the victim as they passed: "Smatter. Fess? Goin' in for toe-dainin?" "Nice back-dive, papa, but this aint no swimmin-pool." Curry, the large, bald, yellow manager, also had an idea what it was all about and lost no time accosting Bus. "Tryin' to start somethin?"

New High School Plan This rapid growth during the past eight years is believed to be due to the reorganization of the traditional four-year high school and eight-year elementary school system into a six-year elementary, three-year junior high and three-year senior high school plan. At present there are 381 colored high schools of the old type and 122 high schools according to the reorganized 6-3-3 or junior high school plan, a total of 508 high schools in which more than 3,000 teachers are employed and 132,329 pupils enrolled. Of these pupils 50,255 students are boys and 82,074 girls. Yet in every group a higher percentage of boys continue their studies after graduation in colleges, while the girls seek out normal schools although many of them fail to graduate. Commercial Courses Enrollment of colored students in commercial courses was not collected in 1915 or for the last year, but the percentage of colored students pursuing such courses in courses of business training is considerably smaller than it should be. In several cities recently courses have been introduced in office practice, salesmanship, advertising, business management, banking, and commercial law in addition to the usual typing and shorthand courses. Only 2.65 per cent of the colored pupils enunciate in business classes in 1922. The percentage was slightly smaller in 1928. The following table shows the number of colored high schools, the number of colored teachers and the students enrolled in high schools of the country according to states. New York is the only state in the United States which has no colored student enrolled in any of its high schools. Texas leads all states with 93 colored schools, North Carolina is second with 52. Mississippi and Tennessee third with 27 each, and Georgia fourth with 23. Virginia and West Virginia have 19, Virginia 20, New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania one each, and New York none.

Its objective was to improve conditions among Negroes on the farms, by providing trained leadership in practical farm economics. County Agents Out of the conference came the conclusion that Negro farmers were poorly prepared to cope with the economic problems confronting them today. The county agents themselves are not prepared to offer the advice that farmers need, nor can they get the training they need. Grant Colleges, because of the lack of strong departments of agricultural economics in these institutions. Summer Schools The conference suggested, as an immediate practical step to improve conditions, that three regional summer schools be held at Prairie View, Texas: Nashville, Tennessee, and Orangeburg, S.C., during 1930. The very best instructors obtainable would be employed in these summer schools, and the conference that four scholarships be provided for each of the States represented, so that men and women would be able to study agricultural economics including marketing for one year at some of the outstanding colleges of agriculture. It was the hope of the conference that the Pennsylvania Fund would assist with the carrying out of the above named suggestions. Loans at Low Interest Another matter of importance suggested by President B. F. Hubert at the conference was the proposal for assistance to Negro landowning communities, by affording long-time loans to small school districts to extend the borders of present communities where Negroes have already, well established community organization. Mr. Stern expressed his personal opinion that this was a most practical step in the improvement of agricultural conditions among Negroes. So this proposal was concurred in by practically all of the members of the conference committee.

The Woman's Ionic Declaring that he was practically stuck in his work and that a membership of ten was struggling to carry on the church work, the Rev. J. N. Walters, pastor of Cockeysville A.M.E. Church, urged the preachers meeting to work for the pooling of church support funds, Monday. There are many charges which are unable to support pastors, he said, and these should receive help. He urged a complete reconstruction and readjustment of small churches. Conference Claims Many churches reported good or fair condition and all are raising conference claims. Catonsville Church The Rev. E. T. Addison reported his church as being the best appointment in the conference. They had a very good month and had a rally there which raised $300. Four members joined the church during the month. Mt. Zoar Church The Rev. George W. Brown reports splendid cooperation in his church Though he is not seeking for the bishop to send him back to Mt. Zoar, he feels it will be better if he is sent back Waters Church The Rev. R. S. Drummond, pastor of Waters A.M.E. Church, said "Over in the East the folk generally look for light."

Ehenezer Church The Rev H. E. Walden seems to have no complaint to make. He has a very fine Sunday School. The League is not up to what it should be, and it cannot meet conference claims as usual.

The attendance is larger than usual. The Sunday School, though, is not doing well, but the League is very largely attended. The Morning Star Baptist Church worshipped with them on Sunday afternoon and left a splendid collection. They are not quite ready for conference. Other small charges reports plenty spent not much money, but still alive. Bethel Speaks Bishop A. L. Gaines was rather pleased with the majority of the church reports. Although he said there were many changes to remain at the various churches, he is keeping his own council until the reports that come in will prompt him how and where to make such changes. The ministers not to advertise their short comings and hollowing for bread and water—but go and stress your spiritual helpfulness and the funds will come in to you. The bishop said further he wished every minister that had these small charges with little support could get better help. If a fund could be started in the conference to help just the conditions would be a great thing. Allen's Day Allen's Day will be celebrated at the AME. Preachers' Meeting on next Monday. The Rev. C.

ARGUED OVER DEBT Charges May be Quashed Because of American Status. SANTA CLARA, Cuba. — Frank (Wesley) Warfield, manager of the Baltimore Black Sox baseball team, and leader of the Santa Claire team in the Cuban winter league, is in jail here, and Ollie Marcelle, Black Sox third baseman, playing with the Almendares team in the same league, is in a hospital with a badly lacerated nose, following an alleged altercation between the two players in a hotel, here, last week. Warfield and Marcelle, it is reported, were engaged in a game of cards with several of the other players here. Marcelle is said to have been losing home and asked Warfield for some money he claimed the Black Sox manager owed him from last summer. Upon the latter's denial of the debt, Marcelle is said to have made a lunge at Warfield, and in the ensuing scuffle, Marcelle's nose was badly bitten. Had Been Hostile The injured player is said to have obtained a warrant for Warfield's arrest. It is understood that a hostile feeling had existed between the players for some time, starting during season. On several occasions Warfield's team was removed Marceline from the game because he was not in condition or not up to form. Both Men Popular This engendered a resentment that smouldered until its outburst there. Both players are popular here and in the United States as well and the altercation came to a head when both have turned out to see them in action. The case is scheduled to come up for an early hearing but the prevailing opinion here is that because both of the players are Americans, the charges will be quash- The winter league closed February 1, and most of the players, except a few remaining for exhibition games, have returned to the United States.

Hear Me Talkin' To Ya Hear Me Talkin' To Ya By BILL GIBSON WITH two months to go, basketball in this area is just beginning to hit its mid-season stride. The college quintets, particularly Morgan, Howard, and Lincoln, are beginning to show signs of form and in a week or two there should be some classy competition. Mention is being centered on the Howard-Morgan game in New York, come next Wednesday, February 12, and while doing so are favoring the Baltimore five, it is known that Howard does work zealously to perfect a series of the Methodist tossers. defense that can silence the big guns in this co-ordination to this scribber, is lack of co-ordination. The Bisons have several good players, but lack a well-oiled machine. Once they improve their teamwork, they prove dangerous, and already loom as contentors for cage honors in the C.I.A.A. bop.

From where I sit, Housand it appears that Morgan, though not as last year, will be able to claim the title again. the hiphop.

Wilberforce making a southern jaunt, passed up this territory for some or other. It seems that the Buckeyes could arrange a rather nice schedule, taking in games with both, Howard, Morgan, and a number of the Virginia schools in the way. Why they didn't, remains to be explained. Maybe they will make another trip during the holiday, these teams. which Morgan is having a hard time arranging a trip. The Bears had planned a jaunt which would take them as far south as Atlanta, but inability to get suitable guarantees from schools along the coast forced them to forego the trip, and temporarily. A western trip has. Basketball in the South seems to be in the dolrums. Morris Brown, from what this writer can hear, had about the best quint there, but the barring of several of the Atlanta players because of scholastic troubles, has been said to have weakened, siderably. Play in the southwest is high caliber, judging, from some of the professed best players, made when placed in eastern company. OR some unknown reason, certain members of our fourth estate have tried to make the closing of the college track career of Phil Edwards a deep and dank task in the part of authorship I would not like to assume. The scribblers are right or wrong. But it does seem to me that there are enough overt wrongs to be righted without going out of one's way to try to conjure up some assumed discrimination. According to the athletic ruling of the New York Supreme Court a man can no longer represent the institution after having completed Edwards, reports have it, has rounded out these three years, although he only actually competed two years. He consequently automatically ineligible for further competition in his sport. That Nike has made use of a color line in case he seems to be no logical reason to assume that in this case Edwards was barred because of his color. Considering what he has meant to the school as an individual performer, and as a member of the relay team, it would seem preposterous to now for a reason of this kind. Each school has a right to make its So until it is definitely established that Edwards has been victimized because of color prejudice, it would seem wise for the youngsters to cover their mouths with sticking plaster, and to work in righting some of the cases of rank discrimination that reek right under their very noses. FURTHER persual of the public prints brings news of another tone, and if it has not reached you yet, focus your optics upon this bit of praise coming from Jack Murray, white, of the New York Evening Graphic, in speaking of basketball, George Gregory, star center on the Columbia University. Because I think it is good stuff. I am presenting the writer's comments at length. Mr Murray says: "For the first time in thirty years, Columbia pins its hopes in basketball on a young colored, born and raised in this city. If the Blue and White five are to stand any chance of winning the crown in the Eastern Intercollegiate League this winter, it will be because of young fast, fast youngster comes through as Coach Dan Meehan expects him to, the Lion five will be a tough opponent for the other members of the league to stop from gaining the crown. If Gregory fails to play up to snuff, Columbia has no chance of winning. "There are a number of other good players on Columbia's team to do their share of the work to bring the Blue and White quintet through successfully, but the burden is on Gregory's shoulders and every one at Columbia knows it." "Gregory is a great credit to his race, the same as Dave Myers, popular New York University football player, who has played all the games he has played and did so well last year that he was chosen as the center on all-star team of the league. "His early basketball foundation was laid as DeWitt Clinton High School, which was known as one of the most outstanding scholastic players ever turned out of the P.S.A.L. He captured Clinton's great five a few years back and also played an end on the football team with the University of Alabama, where he colleges and universities that make up the circuit with Columbia for the fine sportsmanship displayed while this young colored star plays against their teams. It is so much better than the attitude one of the teams assumed when they faced the team on the gridiron last fall and would not play against players to play." "In recent years there have been a number of great colored athletes in collegiate circles, but we doubt if any of them ever held so important a spot as Gregory does this winter." And while not detracting at all from Gregory's greatness, this pillar wonders, considering the way Lanky Jones, Morgan College center, outclassed the New York boy in Harlem last year, what the critics would say if Lanky were a member of an oflay unit. IND greetings come to this pillar via U.S. mail from Bill Taylor. We would like you now as coach at Lincoln University. But unlike the usual communications from Sir Willyum, this one bears an unusual message. Following the usual custom of addressing such communications, Bill sez: Of course, being a busy coach, he forgot to write his message. But I hope he won't do it again. MOORE COPS ANOTHER ALA.

Although the action had lagged at times during the first period there were no slow moments in the second half. Coach Martin was responsible for the top.

He went back ostensibly with instructions enough to wreck the hopes of a Hampton victory, for State immediately opened the game. Fury until Pennington tied the score. Alexander, Gregory, and Cotton managed to slip by the persistent Dabney and Cripp to steal one each and the wainthole against State hung up five consecutive field goals.

Cotton returned in the third minute, but the center earned a perfect shot that struck the net clean and broke the tie.

Columbians Angry The Columbia men, keyed to a fighting edge by the attack upon Gregory, a favorite on the campus, were with difficulty restrained by their leaders from resuming the triumphs that had gone. Reminded of the controversy when Dave Myers, Negro football player, was made the center of another "color line" issue, Columbia officials declined today to comment upon their probable action in connection with the incident last night. But the outcome was not in doubt. They marched away with boos, nisses and cat-calls that left no doubt of their resentment.

Brooks from Injury. SCORE IS 30-17 Pennington Romps as Hill toppers Run Wild. RICHMOND, Va.—(Special) — The Virginia State College baskets defeated Va. Union by a 30-17 score here Friday night, but not until a group of local roots had threatened bodily harm to Referee H. H. Brooks. The game was one of the roughest ever to be played here, and as a large number of personal fouls were being called, supporters of the local team felt that Union was being given a bad break by the official. A group of intervention out on the floor and only a few players vented physical injury to Referee Brooks. The matter was adjusted, however, and play resumed. The first half scoring was started by Keller, Union's forward, and Pastures and Washington added points in the scoring column, but broke into the scoring column by connecting for another double and all of this happened before State in the scoring column. The long shot, and the charity throws that were given her were missed, but Dabney managed to place State in the scoring column by a neat throw from under the basket. At half time, the sheet showed Unicea 13 and State 10. Union Stopped In the second half Union made only four points, a basket by Keller and a foul shot by Ellis and Jenkins bringing Union's total to seventeen points for the evening. State started right out to cut down Union's lead and then scored a goal, so they accomplished their task. Pennington, that lilth-like forward of state, went on a rampage and dropped in three successive baskets from different angles in the space of a new minute. For two of those goals and Cooper, Dahney, and "Bo" Williams each collected a field goal. Hall, Cooper and Pennington counted for a point apiece from the foul line. J.

AS GIRLS SEE IT As has been noted for several years, the Wilmington (NCG) High School girls basketball team has been defeating every girls team they meet. They were the State High School champs last year and, in addition to winning the championships this year, As one of their elongated players put it, "We're going to keep that silver trophy at Wiston Hill and how!" Last year, their most dangerous rival, the Mary Potter' aggregation, were given a severe (not too severe) trouncing. Come to think of it, these Wilmington tar heels have a chance to win. We've seen in this neck of the woods, and in any other neck as far as that goes. It would be too bad to see them in action against Philadelphia, G.C.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, February 8, 1930 Pinky Clarke Went Out for Mascot and Made the Team Popular Morgan College Court and Gridiron Star Started Playing Basketball While a Small Boy. Is President of Class and Student Council. By BILL GIBSON One day, when the Tuxedo Tigers basketball team in East Orange, N.J. was practicing, there came out a youngster who said that he wanted to be the team mascot. The youthful basketer answered to the name of Daniel P. Clarke and was permitted to practice with the regulars. In a short time, instead of finding himself as mascot, he found himself holding down a regular berth on the team. In a way that "Pinki" Clarke, Morgan College basketball and football star, made his debut into the world of basketball. Has Played Since Child "I've been playing basketball so long," the India-rubber man of basketball told me, "that I guess it's almost time for me to call a halt." But the twinkle in his eye belied his words, for, take it from the writer, there many a field goal yet left in "Pinky Clarke." Also the Orange High School, Clarke was a three-letter man, competing in football, basketball and baseball. Asked how he got his nickname, Clarke replied: "I'm not sure about how long I've been called 'Pinky', or why. Once I used to wear a pink ribbon around my head while I was playing, but I believe they were calling me 'Pinky' even before that." In older brother, Jimmy, preceded Pinky on the Tuxedo Tiger team, and a younger brother, Harry, is still carrying the Clarke athletic banner aloft. Active on Campus Ask ten people "Pinky's" first name and nine won't be able to tell you. He's one of the most popular men about the Morgan College campus. He is president of the senior class, president of the Student Council, and was Faking Fight Caused Jack Jo Former World's Heavyweig Famous Fiasco in Havam He Was Double-Cros Faking Fight With Willard Caused Jack Johnson Regret Former World's Heavyweight Champion, Writing of Famous Fiasco in Havana in 1915, Tells of How He Was Double-Crossed by Matchmakers. Declaring that he lay down in his memorable fight with Jess Willard in Havana, Cuba, Jack Johnson, former world's heavyweight champion, writing in the New York Evening Post that he was good-crossed" and that he has since paid heavily for it. Lil' Alaura says: "It has always been a source of excitement in the one fake fight I ever participated in, that with Jess Willard, the fight fans were betting on me rather than against me, as they had done when I fought Burke and Jeffries. "Jess Willard was persecuted, the raweakest fate ever perpetrated, and I, as the principal faker, undoubtedly got what was coming to me through the treachery of the men who made the match and persuaded me to 'throw it' to Willard. Fooled by Promoters "It was perhaps fitting the punishment to the crime of faking that when the fight was over and my title gone, my good friends who had promised so much became vague and indefinite. They had led me to believe that they had influence over the judges, promises of clemency, but the up shot was that their promises faded into the air and I was exiled again to roam from one country to another. To add to my bitterness, my mother did while I was fleeing back to Europe. "So, I guess, I paid heavily enough for the one fake fight in which I ever took a part. Had to Coach Jess "The reason I never took seriously "They offered me no money to let Willard win by a faked knockout. They offered me the promise of freedom. Exiled from America because of the trumped up Mann act charge and conviction against me, Willard. When Harry Frazee told me that if I lost the title to Willard I would be allowed to return to the United States and that the charges would be dropped and the persecution ended. I laid down to Willard, the clumsiest apology for a heavyweight that ever entered the ring. Waited for Signal "I would have been knocked out in the tenth round, but for the fact that my end of the purse was not delivered to my wife who was standing behind me, I was silenced me when the purse was paid to her, and then I was to go down and stay down for the count. Every round, I was going to come, and I kept right on fighting. If they were going to double-cross me, I was going to cap it by knocking out Willard. Finally the money was gone. We went twenty-sixth round, and in that round I went down, with my hands over my head to protect my eyes from the glaring sun. I couldn't resist the last gesture of contempt Willard. "I laid down to Jess Willard because of a promise of immunity, the promise that I could return to America. 12-Year-Old S Farm with He Four-Year-Old 4-H Club Mem 12-Year-Old Starts Chicken Farm with Hen and Rooster Four-Year-Old 4-H Club Member Begins Farming with a Pig. WHITEVILLE, N. C.—The club work done by the rural boys in Columbus County (although not as extensive as that done by girls) is of as good grade, according to the county home demonstrator. At Chadbourne the boys are especially interested in preparing a shampoo for hair, which article is made from products grown on their own farms. Even though some of the boys do not have much money or stock to work with they try to enter the various contests in farm stock. The Chadbourne club has one James Curry, 12 who having only one hen and a rooster, will try to raise chickens. He has secured enough literature from the demonstration agent to supply a chicken farm of many acres.

Last year he was president of the junior class, and won the Junior Key in oratory. From all indications he will be the class orator at commencement this year. He is in addition a very good student. His Hardest Game "The hardest game I ever played in? Let's see. I think it was the Morgan-Wilberforce game in Chicago in 1928. We won that game 26-25, but boy, was I tired when it was over? I don't believe I have run, ducked and dodged as much before or since that game. I was held scoreless from the floor once, and Ike Young now coaching at Bowie Normal, but then playing guard for Lincoln, was the man who did the trick. Because a player fails to score, however, it does not mean that he CAN't score. It may mean that he is feeding the ball to some other player who is doing all of the scoring." Brainy Player During his scholastic career, "Pinky" has played under nearly a quarter of the players played under Jim Law, Charlie Drew, Bill Taylor and Ed Hurt. Under all of these men he has been easy to discipline and quick to learn new styles of play. He is easily one of the earliest players in college circles today. It is no small wonder, then, that his mind drifts toward coaching as a career. Following graduation in June, Pinky will begin to give consideration to the requests for his services as a mentor. Already he has had several offers to play professional basketball, but has turned them all down. And if coaching doesn't suit, he'll probably turn to the study of medicine. Regular Guy "Hey, Pinky," a group called from across the campus, and the athlete-student-orator became just one of the "gang." He's a regular guy.

Had to Coach Jess "The reason I never took seriously Dempsey's knockout of Willard was that big Jess was probably the worst opponent in the game, I glove. He was so bad against me at Havana that in clinches I had to coach him how to punch at me. 'Don't double-cross me, Jack,' he kept saying over and over. 'I don't double-cross me good and plenty, and I guess I deserved it.' They even tried to double-cross me on my share of the moving picture, but I didn't. They gave me exclusive exhibition rights to the South American and England territory. I sold the South American rights, but when I read England's book to go to Pau Carley to ship the film to me.

As he came out of the office we grabbed him and took him to the warehouse was Well and he lives in Chicago now, but we could never get him to tell who made the arrangements with him to get the film.

SAUNDERS CHECKED Sydnor Stages Duel with Former Ren. ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.—The crack Lincoln University basketball team, contender for C.I.A.A. championship honors, obliterated Rheims Post basketball firmament, when it hitherto highly touted Rheims Post V. F. W., quint a 31-26 lacing before an evenly divided crowd of Lincoln alumni and Post supporters at the All Wars Memorial Home Thursday night. It was the first appearance of a Lincoln team on a shore court since 1926, their first victory here in over a decade, and their victory over the strong Club team was impressive. While the entire Lincoln team functioned as a well oiled unit it took a brilliant drive by Smith, Avery, and an easy victory for the Post had been predicted, and the Shore passers did jump into an eight point lead in three minutes play through Ward and Jackson's defense, two from the field, Aldrich. Tide Turns Then the tide turned, and with Sydnor out-jumping Sanders at center, Smith and Avery quickly tied the score, Smith ringing up three twin pointers in two minutes. Avery had split the cord from a corner then scored Lincoln's lone foul marker to put his team in front 9-8. Smith was removed on personal fouls and Reiley took his place. He clung to Ward like a leech, and the star Post forward didn't get a chance to shoot. Aldrich was a thorn to the collegians, his eagle eyed shots with a lone goal by Saunders sending his team's total to 14, while Avery and Jackson sifter through Willie Jackson and Seay for goals that kept their team in front, the half ending 15-14. Coach Stops Game In the second half, with the collegians in front, 23-18 Seav shifted from guard to forward as Ward went to the sidelines. Ray Green went to guard. Later Sydnor took the ball on the sidelines from behind by Sanders, a foul was called on Sydnor, his fourth, and Coach Taylor threatened to call his team from the floor. After reading the riot act to both referee and umpire he replaced Sydnor with Avery, who was the first to succeed tap-offs, a Lion would snare the ball, pass rapidly, dribble, feint. first Avery, then Reiley, finally Hawkins ringing up the counters that sent their team to a five-point Fouls Poor The Lions outspected their opponents 15-8 from the field.

Much has been written in song and prose about the generosity and hospitality of the South. But if you ask me, I'd say those songs have the wrong words. Lots of the sentiment is bunk. Particularly is this true of the Dixie towns. The only difference between the Northern city dweller's grasping and the small town grabbing is the location. In the upon whose prey are the ignorant; in the latter the teachers and professional people are the objects of their desires. "Come in Honey" "Come in honey," is the greeting given the average teacher in a small town. "You can have this room and board for only twenty dollars a month." I can hear the reader gasp here and mutter, "What more could anyone want? But not so fast. Let's see what this room" shall get for her $20. The room often is a huge empty looking affair usually containing a wooden bed, some sort of rigged up affair to a washstand and a straight-back chair. And usually a large gaunt fireplace states out at one like an ill manned child. In one corner is a saggy curtain closes off a tiny space behind which to hang one's clothes. Southern Food "I just know you'll be crazy about our Southern food," breaks in on our already home-sick man's ears. And the menu usually is something like this: Breakfast—cornbread (made of salt, water and corn meal); fat back (made from pork and chicken); grape (gright). Lunch—one sandwich (of unknown classification). Supper—collard greens (liver between cabbage and pork) (greasy beyond description). Rice and Pies Usually the menu will be kept up for several months. Probably rice and soggy pies may be added to it. And the fries is boiled over and over until they are tender and add an color. Dessert is, for the most part, an unknown quantity. No Privacy As for the bed room, if uncle Bill or Sally decide to walk through to the good room." (living room) it is considered unpish to object. Early to Bed Since everyone goes to bed at seven or eight, the teacher is supposed to, too. And if she stays up too late often the light is apt to flicker and go out. And the answers to any inquiries about the same are apt to be "I doom out" or "I can't tell what's wrong." Of course the answer is that the fuse plugs have been pulled out. Taxi? And let a teacher want to hire a car! For a distance that would cost anyone else $2, she must pay $5. If one should be so fortunate as to have company, one must or should be on a clock, because it burns the "electric." The Heat As for heat in the home, that is unheard of except in the bedroom and kitchen. And passing from the bedroom to the kitchen at meal time is an ordeal, especially house teachers. They actually teach teachers play the piano in rooms that were so cold and musty, that their fingers loked like pieces of ice. If anyone doubts the truth of these facts, let him visit in a small Didië town and let them think he is a teacher.

The second sermon in the series on great modernists, broadcast, the Rev. Donald Grey Barnhouse, white will be heard over WABC from the Tenth Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia, Sunday afternoon, at 5:30. In this address "Great Modernists—Cain," the speaker declares, "Today men deny the necessity of blood sacrifice for the remission of sin. The idea is repugnant to their aesthetic sense. The result is a dental of the work of Christ on the cross. The idea is not modern, and from one of the earliest stories of the race, we find the conflict in full sway. Abel offers a lion's head. Cain denies the necessity, becoming a number to prove his point. Abel was among the first conservative modernists and died for his faith. There is nothing modern in the controversy."

ALWAYS THE FINEST HAIR DRESSING EASY AND PLEASANT TO USE BRIDGE BRIDGE—mad had ordered— By R. W. TALIAFERRO Very often players of Bridge have a five card suit, Queen high, with side strength and simply because that side strength should be bid by Ace or King will not bid. Because of this I have been asked to state whether a five card suit headed by the Queen with sufficient side strength should be bid. My answer is yes. If you understand Bridge enough to gauge side strength bid your Queen high and even Jack high, you are major. Of course, even a no ace must realize that a Queen high five card suit is a weak bid and is only used by players that have progressed beyond the beginners circle. A five card suit headed by the Ace or King-Queen is much more valuable as they contain a quick way to can be established very easily. A Queen high card cannot. This is the difference between the five card suits. At one time it was considered inadvisable to bid initially with a Queen high five card suit, it being the custom to pass on the first round, and if the bid got back to bid it on the second round, and then a bid, showing that the suit bid was only headed by a Queen, Modern Auction, however, has changed initial value of hands somewhat. There are many Major suit hands that may be bid initially with only Queen high five cards suits. Following are some types. S x-x S Q-10-x-x H Q-J-x-x H A-x-x D A-K-J D X C x-x C A-J-x (Note: "x" stands for any card be low the 10.) With the above holdings or holdings similar to them — even in Minor suits — a pass is disadventurous, as it may cause a hand that will produce game to be passable, and a pass that will such holdings will sometimes be the information that your partner needs to either bid another suit or a No Trump. Initial Bid A Jack high five card suit should never be bid initially unless it is accompanied by TWO STRONG SIDE SUITS. Don't forget that an initial bid of one is an invitation to your partner to bid No Trump and further tells him that if the bid stands he can depend on you turning four in your hand and further that in your face you can quick tricks. If you cannot do the above don't bid a Queen high or a Jack high five card suit. Also, don't forget that if you and your partner do not obtain the initial leader and oppose to the initial leader and logitech lead he will lead the suit you bid which, if Queen or Jack high only, prove a very disadventure lead. Table In order to help you gauge the proper strength of your hand with five card suits headed by Queen or Jack I offer the following table: Cards heading five card suits (five cards or more) - Minimum side strength necessary. Queen-Jack or Queen-Ten (Preferably a Major suit but not necessarily) Jack two quick tricks. Jack-Ten (Rarely in a Minor suit) —Three quick tricks.

AND DAVIS, NC, USA Professor Warns England that U.S. May Soon Bar Foreigners. POPULATION SHIFTS Negro Workers Spreading al Over Country. NEW YORK, (CNS)—The shifting Negro population is affecting European emigration to the United States according to Dr. M. Holmes, white professor of zoology at the University of California, in an address before the Eugenics Society in London, recently. He warned that the quotas allocated by the United tates to the foreign countries would certainly be drastically limited, with the possibility of a total exclusion for a term of years should unemployment of labor in the United States continue to increase and formidable and troublesome figure. Dr. Holmes told the European delegates that the American Negroes are replacing their immigrants in the northern industrial centers and the southern ones in a near immigrant and there will be more Negroes in the northern and midwestern states than in the south. He said the Negroes are likely to constitute "a large part of that relatively impeccable stratification of the population of every country is recruited." Further Apart Questioned by Europeans, who do not seem to understand conditions in this country, concerning the possible absorption of the Negro, Dr. Holmes asserted that "miscegenation is decreasing and the races get apart, since there were relatively fewer mulattoes in 1920 than in 1810." Population Spreads Encouraged by Negro leaders, the Negro population is spreading out into the active industrial areas of cities, where they are all citizens whose immigration into the country is being greatly restricted. They have found a more fertile land than the more fertile the Negro and that he must seek to make his way to economic betterment in the manual industries of the city at large. It will be slow, but it is sure to grow, Dr. Holmes said. the NEW Eliminate waste from your pl Turn over a new leaf! Please 1930, by ridding yourself.

Pulsifer Stricken In 1925 Pulsifer was striken. He conveyed the family home to Mrs. King three days later. From time to time, thereafter, he made gifts of money and securities. Pulsifer died in January of last year at the age of 91. He was the son of Edward Pulsifer, white, pioneer Chicagoan, who left his son an estate of $400,000. Charles Pulsifer had a white son, Frederick, who was the father of Mrs. Crockett. Pulsifer retired from business shortly after receiving his inheritance in 1925. Child Thoughtfully White. Wife of the man he mixed blood the baby girl grew to womanhood, married a white man named Davis and i: the mother of two children. Her friends say the girl was not aware of her blood taint until the strife in court between Mrs. Crockett granddaughter of Pulsifer, and Mrs. Pulsifer left Mrs. Davis "I's cruel. It said a terrible thing they have done," said Mrs. Davis. "I never knew my mother—she died when I was a baby. I lived with my father's people, full blooded white people. I didn't know how many people have associated with colored people, nor considered myself anything but white." Mrs. Crockett brought this up, just to humiliate me. Because she knew all my relatives are dead and no records to prove her identity, she didn't need this money. She never knew Mr. Pulshier except for a couple of brief visits during his last years." Sound Mind Mrs. Crockett attacked the Pulitzer will on the ground of undue influence on a senile man. The court found that Pulitzer was in possession of his wife, Janet, on January 1820, at ninety-one. He left Mrs. Crockett $110,000. Mrs. King received the mansion where she now lives. She was ordered to return to Mrs. Crockett, a half interest in a $150,000 mortgage and a Board of Trade membership valued at $25,000. These returns were made because Pulitzer failed to make proper endorsements. Although Mrs. King received $500,000, the latter's attorney declared that, above the sum to be returned, Mrs. King had about $250,000. The Pulitzer house is now in the colony of the colorado South Park area earlier years it was an exclusive white neighborhood. Now four blocks away, is Poro College. A few doors away lives Mrs. Dolly Shroud Banks, recently sued by white relatives at Atlanta. Georgia. The house has a landscaped terrace. Pulitzer and Mrs. King often went autogathered. They were never seen apart, and they had few callers. Tipped by Phone Just before Mrs. Crockett tied up the estate by injunction. Mrs. King is said to have been tipped off and emptied her safety deposit box in Kenwood National Bank of its contents.

Nothing Can be Done. W. Leigh Carnal, with Dr. Richmond, agreed with Dr. Dahney as to the effects which have followed the mingling of two races. He said he was afraid nothing could now be done to prevent the ultimate amalgamation of the white and Negro races in the United States, but everything possible ought to be done to delay the process. Powerless Harry M. Smith, Jr., white Richmond attorney, said the defeat of the bill would be "a dangerous blow at the white public schools," while W. G. Rennolds, white, superintendent of schools in Essex and King and Queen Counties, and J. M. Lewis, commonwealth's attorney for Essex County, brought Nergold children from attending the public schools, and asked that the legislature do something to correct this condition. Unfair to Indians Opponents of the Ball bill agreed that the preservation of the integrity of the bill should be sired, but most of them expressed the opinion that the bill should not be passed because it was unfair to the nation upon them which they do not deserve. No Penalty One opponent of the bill pointed out that the Ball bill could not be expected to function as it placed no new restrictions on the type of people it would simply encourage. Negro families to migrate to other communities where they are not known and "pass for white entirely." This is a worse evil than faced, and "We know what they are in their home communities and they can't get away with it now." Suggests Commission Dr. J. Shelton Horsley, Richmond surgeon, appeared in opposition to the bill, and suggested that a commission should be formed of legislators be named to inquire into the whole question and report in 1932. Appeals of the remants of Indian trustees of the Great Indian White Father" protested the designation as "colored persons" were heard. DIVORCES Oscar Bergamy vs. Carrie.

ONE HANGING CASE "Numbers" Arrests Swelled Year's Total. With 219 more felonies being committed than in the previous year, serious crimes showed an increase in Baltimore during the year 1929, a study of records by AFROAMERICAN reporters disclosed. Although crimes of a serious nature were on the increase, minor violations took a decisive drop with a decrease of 1,201 cases. This brings the year's number to 982 less arrested in 1929 than in the previous year. 24,688 Arrests There was a total of 24,668 arrested in the eight police precincts. These figures do not include traffic violations. The largest number was in the Northwestern district where 9,071 arrests were made during the year. The Northeastern was second with 5,007 while the Southern police district was third with 4,189 cases. The period in which the 31 seemed to have been the month most conducive to petty and serious crime. It was during this period that the totals in all police stations reached their highest peak. The lowest came between the months of February and May. Facts developed from a study of the ages of those arrested, of the 119,021 white and colored violators, show that a majority of those taken into custody ranged between 27 and 40 years of age.

An interesting observation was that again for the second year women access-numbered the married by a small margin. Many of the minor arrests came, it is shown, by week-end raids on parties where large numbers were assembled. Most of the standing fact in the disclosure was that 67 persons were arrested here on charges of murder; 39 of the men were from the south, and were captured by detectives here at the request of out-of-town police. One Hanging There were 28 local persons arrested and tried on killing charges. One man, John Jackson, was sentenced to hang for the death of two women, and another, Lorenzo Price, is in the city jail hospital pending trial for murder.

Three persons, including one woman, were arrested on charges of bigamy; of that number one man was sentenced to 30 days in jail to pay the damages dismissed at the magistrate hearts.

S Savings Bank REVUE BRANCH ORTH AVENUE Tabbrook Avenue --- Arrests Boost 1929 Totals HANGMEN BUNGLE JOB; ROPE SNAPS WITH JACKSON Prostrate Body Carried Back and Dropped the Second Time. THOT JUSTIFIED Maintained Story of Self-defense Until End. By E. W. BAKER The clanking of a trap door, the snapping of a rope, and the dull thud of a heavy body to the floor of the death house—the State of Maryland had failed in its first attempt at the life of John Jackson, 56, for murder, in the penitentiary death cell early Friday morning. Between two' guards, led by a priest saying the last rites, Jackson, with a wondering stare, was led onto the gate, the door, completed during the midnight hour. As he entered the execution room he cast a blank stare at the small group of news writers present. The clamping of manacles on arms and legs, the speedy adjustment of the black cap, marked the nearness of the end. The gaping noose was lowered over Jackson's black enclosed form, and drawn taut around his neck. The guards worked feverishly at what seemed to be an undesirable duty for them. Noose drawn, an attendant asked Jackson to step forward over the cap. The man apparently hobbled and was helped, the few inches between him and the death hole. A Gruesome Blunder The trap door opened at 12:06 with a clang to the dangling body through. The unexpected happened. The grim form did not stop in midair with a sudden jerk and crack. Hurtling through space, it halted a second at the end of the rope. The fibre broke. With a dull thud the mute form struck the concrete floor. A long distinct moan from the hollow whisper denoted that life was not extinct. Unconsciously, a few spectators took a step forward. Hands reached instinctively for cigarettes they were forbidden to smoke. Lumps rose in throats. Guards rushed here and there. Two attendants hurried in with a stretcher and carried out the huddled body. After an interval which seemed an eternity, another rope was set in place. The door of the execution room opened. Two guards entered, beating the hollow whisper the hapless man lay. A grim job at first, grimmer now, was the placing of the second noose on Jackson's neck as he lay still on the stretcher. A Second Drop Second. The stretcher had been placed so that the feet of Jackson rested just over the trap door. When the noose had been drawn taut, attendants raised the end of the stretcher, and the twice doomed man slid through the rattling trap, to stop with a jerk between floor and ceiling. The rope held. The lifeless mass dangled ghastly this way and that at the end of the rope until 12:22. A portion of the clothing was pulled from the breast. Dr. Frank J. Powers, prison physician, applied his stethoscope and pronounced Jackson dead. The poorly shucked, the corpse lowered to the waiting stretcher and carried out of the death room by guards. The State had won, notwithstanding a blunder. The killing of Miss Tarleton and Mrs. Wright took place in a room in the Wright home after Jackson had trailed Miss Tarleton and Wright to the home of the latter. After forcing an entrance with a screw driver, Mrs. Wright found the window to face. When she refused, he drew a razor and began slashing wildly. Before he had vented his jealous rage, the women had been mortally wounded and Wright had been cut while making his escape. A plea of self defense failed to save him after he testified in court that James Wright, whom he had trailed in company with Miss Tarleton, had attacked him earlier in the day. Jackson is the first and only man condemned to death during the year. Denied Guild to Last Jackson claimed up to the time of his death that the evidence which had been presented at the trial was false, according to prison officials. Prior to his trouble, Jackson had worked for one firm for 25 years and had made a record for faithfulness. In view of his advancing years, his employers were considering giving him the job of night watchman, as an appreciation for his long dependable service. A FERO-AMERICAN reporter, with others present gulped as hardened guards and others went forward to lift the limp form from the floor. Died a Catholic Jackson died a Catholic, having received the administration of this faith under Fathers Ades and Martin. Philadelphian Passes Maryland Bar Exam Dallas F. Nicholas. 27.
