PAROLE COMING
7 Hearses Bear Corpses to Graves
COLUMBUS, Ohio.—Fearing that her husband, who was scheduled to be paroled, against whom she had testified before his imprisonment in the Ohio State penitentiary, would come home and do her harm, Mrs. Ethel Yeldon, white, killed seven children and turned the weapon upon herself, here last Tuesday.
Darby Yeldon, the husband, whom Mrs. Yeldon said she thought, when they were imprisoned several years ago, was sent to prison on a prison. Criminal relations with Mildred, daughter of Mrs. Yeldon by a former marriage.
Found Colored
Mrs. Yelden told friends that she did not know that Yelden was colored after she had been sentenced to prison she had borne him six children, her addition her daughter, Mildred, had borne him a child, which had adopted.
Describes Killings
On Tuesday, it is said, Mrs. Yelden took all of the children to a photographer where she had their pictures made. Then sending them out on separate errands she went about the task of killing them.
First, she shot the bables, Alice, 9, which belonged to her and Allen (Mildred's child). Darry, Jr. 7, Eleanor, 9, and Elaine, 10, were then shot in turn by the Bryon, 8, and son Eldon. After washing the four youngest and dressing them she placed them on a bed. Leaving the other lifeless bodies where they had been killed, turned the weapon, the rifle, into the Hospital, where she is being nursed by the older daughter, who is employed there, Mrs. Yelden, is suffering from a flesh wound from which physicians will soon recover. She has been on a charge of first degree murder.
Seven White Hearses
Seven white hearts bore t h e shattered children to the cemetery attended by three mourners, their half sister and brothers, whose absence from the home probably saved them from a similar fate.

Wilkins, commander of Company G. 322nd Infantry, who has returned from duty at the state prison. When the news of the trouble was faded to army posts, and call for the troops, Wilkins, accompanied by his wife hurried to the scene. He went into action immediately, but Mrs. Wilkins insisted on entering the trouble zone later, some of the horrors of that occasion.

Won Packard Car and $530 on Thompson
CAMIDEN. N. J. — Believing that, Young Jack Thompson would defend Jackie Fields for the Roy Miller staked $30 at every bid and his new Buck car against the Packard of another better, and as a result of his action he took a life of South to buy a farm, traveling in the Packard.
Miller bet a fellow worker his son at a Packard of a Packard he staked his Buck automobile against the fields backer's machine. He drew his savings of $800 from the bank to get with another man who liked fields, and when he found still another Fields backer, he secured a loan of $200 and placed a bet.
He kept all of these things a secret from Mrs. Miller, and done she found out what he had immediately started a frenzied rush. She shot after midnight she found him riding in the Packard. They made home together. Sunday she set for the South, and Miller knew that he will write Thompson and thank him for his luck.

When Maryland's senior Senator, Millings voted "may," on the Parker confirmation, termed a word that the colored voters of Maryland should remember in the coming elections.
Back of Senator Tydings is the Department of this State which selected him for no and supported him for election.
Without Senator Tydings's vote the Court would now have as a member a North Federal judge who has—to use the word Oswald Garrison Villard—"publicly evidenced readiness to deny to an entire group of our Americans participation in elections and institution of the country."
With the proposition to place such an Judge Parker on the bench of the supreme which questions affecting the liberty of, and of happiness by, colored people are constant red, we saw in Judge Parker another Roger crying aloud: "The Negro has no rights with white man is bound to respect."
The proposal stirred the nation; and the leadership of the National Association for advancement of Colored People the people by reand by telegram apprized their Senators of timents.
In this expression of opinion and envote Parker down, Maryland's ministers, tions and leading citizens addressed both Tydings, who is a Democrat, and Senator Ph. Goldsborough, who is a Republican.
Senator Goldsborough, who, to use the of the White House, "values the favor of the more than the wishes of thousands of Negro who helped elect him, turned his back and Judge Parker.
Senator Tydings consulted with Democrats of the State and voted Parker down.
There is no question but that Senator saved Maryland and in so doing the nation change of one vote would have resulted in firmation of Parker.
The AFRO-AMERICAN has repeatedly out that in the question of politics, the issue Democrat or Republican, but it is the man.
When the Democrats give us a man like Tydings, they are our friends.
When Republicans give us a man like Goldsborough, they are our enemies.

GAVAGAN'S APPOINTEE
FAILS AT ACADEMY
When Maryland's senior Senator, Millard Tydings voted "nay," on the Parker confirmation, he uttered a word that the colored voters of Maryland should remember in the coming elections.
Back of Senator Tydings is the Democratic party of this State which selected him for nomination and supported him for election.
Without Senator Tydings's vote the Supreme Court would now have as a member a North Carolina Federal judge who has—to use the words of Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard—"publicly evidenced his readiness to deny to an entire group of our fellow Americans participation in elections and in administration of the country."
With the proposition to place such a man as Judge Parker on the bench of the supreme court to which questions affecting the liberty of, and pursuit of happiness by, colored people are constantly referred, we saw in Judge Parker another Roger B. Taney crying aloud: "The Negro has no rights which the white man is bound to respect."
The proposal stirred the nation; and under the leadership of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People the people by resolution, and by telegram apprized their Senators of their sentiments.
In this expression of opinion and entreaty to vote Parker down, Maryland's ministers, organizations and leading citizens addressed both Senator Tydings, who is a Democrat, and Senator Phillips Lee Goldsborough, who is a Republican. Senator Goldsborough, who, to use the language of the White House, "values the favor of the President more than the wishes of thousands of Negro voters" who helped elect him, turned his back and voted for Judge Parker. Senator Tydings consulted with Democratic leaders of the State and voted Parker down. There is no question but that Senator Tydings saved Maryland and in so doing the nation. For a change of one vote would have resulted in the confirmation of Parker. The AFRO-AMERICAN has repeatedly pointed out that in the question of politics, the issue is not Democrat or Republican, but it is the man. When the Democrats give us a man like Senator Tydings, they are our friends. When Republicans give us a man like Senator Goldsborough, they are our enemies.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.-Professor F. J. Myles, supervisor of writing and drawing at the University, was adjudged the 1830 champion pensman by the National Association of Pensmanship Teachers and Supervisors, the annual convention in Detroit.
Another postponement of the Congressional Reception could not be attributed to fear of his sending in names of guests, as stated in a special news story in a Baltimore daily paper, Congressman Oscar DePriest told the AFROAMERICAN this week. The fact is, he said, Congressman do not select the guest list. Each member and his wife or other members of his immediate household receive invitations, but not other persons.
Third Postponement
This is the third time the Congressional Reception has been postponed. In February when former President Howard Taft lay critically ill, resident and Mrs. Herbert Hoover cancelled the reception as planned for the 27th of that month.
Once before this, the reception had been postponed on account of Mrs. Hoover's indisposition and because of a trip the President and his wife made to Florida.
In the newspaper article in a Baltimore paper it was indicated that the reception had been postponed because of a desire on the part of President and Mrs. Hoover to avoid complications growing out of the fact that the DePriests were privileged to send in names for invitations.

WALTER WHITE IS CONGRESSMAN HERO OF JUDGE DENIES ROW WITH PARKER'S DEFEAT "BEN" DAVIS
N.A.A.C.P. Acting Secretary Directed Lobby from New York
HOOVER DESERTED
Moton, DePriest, Hawkins Turned down Pleas AFRO BUREAU WASHINGTON. — It is rarely that an administration has ever been pushed to such an extremity as that to which the recent Parker case carried President Hoover. On the surface, the White House fight to force Parker over on the Senate moved with apparent official precision. Underneath were the desperate and sometimes despairing efforts of presidential machinery to get away from the brick-wall which everywhere confronted it. The "wild men" of Senate, as Secretary Bydle called him, has this way and smowed Mr. Hoover under.
A large share of the opposition to Mr. Hoover was due to the long standing hostility of Senate liberals, led by Senator Borah and Senator Norris, but while the Senate talked "Jabor" it thought "Negro" for behind the scenes the N.A.A.C.P. carried on a lobby which met every move President Hoover made with a sworter one.
White Steals Stage Center
In the very beginning, Walter White stole the center of the stage. At the hearing of the Senate Judicial Committee his name was called last among the witnesses. The committee was almost ready to adjourn when he sent his card up, and with a sigh the senators agreed to hear him.
"Walter White" was the name called, and the committee gasped for the whistest man in the room, with light hair, blue eyes and a tailored suit that may have come from Bond Street ensured the roll. As the committee prepared to take the "cullud brother" for a ride, Mr.

DAVIS AROUSED
Says Britten Insulted Him over Berth
WASHINGTON. — Congressman F. A. Britten, white, (Rep., Ill.), denied Tuesday that he had referred to Benjamin Davis, former Georgia Republican National Committee, as a "damn nigger." Shown an editorial in the Atlanta Independent, in which Mr. Davis declared the congressman made himself obnoxious when he found Benjamin Davis car at the Birmingham Special on the Southern Railroad en route from Washington to Atlanta. Mr. Britten said the statement was untrue. Mr. Davis said the congressman and his wife occupied lower one and two, on car K-8. Davis occupied upper two. When the congressman came in and found that a colored person occupied the berth above his wife, he became indifferent. The congressman, he added, was loud in his effort to make passengers know that he was a congressman and represented a Chicago district.
Asks Transfer
Davis declared that he passed no word and made no criticism of Briten, but out of respect for his wife, he said he had been asked to another section of the car. This was done. "Let the Negroes of Illinois," he said, "take notice that the congressman said that he objected to riding in a sleeper with a 'darn nig'
Makes Denial
Congressman Britten told the AFRO-AMERICAN that the only question he had was whether anyone occupied the upper berth. "I would have been a fool," he said, "to have made any such request." He was emphatic in his denial and stated that he said absolutely nothing to Davis, nor to any of the train's crews. He also interpreted as objecting to riding in the same car with a colored man.

Sherman Blame
Mob Ravaged
By CLARENCE WILLIAMS
(For Associated Negro Press)
DALLAS, Texas. — That dreaded flame of savagery, subdued but always present in the breast of so-called civilized white Southerners, burst forth in this section Fiday when the new $60,000 courthouse at Sherman was burned to the ground, and George Hughes, held on a charge of attacking a white woman, was baked to death in a vault.
For three days the country for miles around has been in a state of terror.
Passions among the rustic whites exploded with the precipitate force of gunpowder and the life and property of the Negro became the object of the troph's frenzy.
Hughes was not a man with a bad reputation. Negroes roundabout incline to the belief that he may have had a clandestine affair with a white woman, that the two of them may have been caught together.
Nearly a score of the members of the mob have been arrested, but not for killing Hughes. They are to be prosecuted for burning the court house.
All day Saturday and Sunday the mob continued its attacks against Negroes in Sherman and throughout the countryside. The homes of Negro farmers and tenants are being entered and burned and the women maltreated.
These Negroes are at the mercy of the mob, because if they sought to protect themselves they would be disarmed by the officers of the state. All the whites are armed with dynamite and weapons, but no effort is made to disarm them.
The local population is bitter against Governor Dan Moody, who ordered not to shoot, the governor who criticised Mrs. Hoover for inviting Mrs. Oscar DePriest to a White House tea.

Texas Governor Incites Mob Violence
By WILLIAM PICKENS (ANP.)
“HOLD HIM IF YOU CAN, BUT DON'T SHOOT ANYBODY.” These are the words which the governor of Texas wired to the officers who were defending an accused Negro against a mob bent on lynching him. Those words were just as effective as if he had wired to the mob leaders: “Go and get the Negro, if you want him; you won't be hurt for it.”
That telegram was the real crime. That telegram incited the mob. That telegram murdered the untried, and hence unconvinced Negro. Of course, the mob leaders and the mobish law-officers said: “The Negro confessed,”—but that is what they always say. The place to register honest confessions is in the calm atmosphere of a court, not in the fury of a mob nor in the presence of bullying, torturing “officers.”
Sherman, Texas, is in the edge of Hell. One year ago I had a car accident and I wanted to organize the colored people. Just before I reached the place, I received word from the physician who was making the arrangements, canceling the date, and telling me to come. I rather vexed at what seemed the useless fear of that colored man then—but perhaps he exerted the depth of the savagery that complexity better than I could guess it. I see that this mob did not forget to burn down "the Negro doctor business," is remarkable how these mobs pretend that they are trying to "punish rapists," but always manage to destroy or to steal property. The economists of the mob are unwilling.
Ten years ago, after the Tulsa riot, and after the sacking and burning of the "Negro sect," the Negro community followed, many a colored woman, walking through the town, discovered some of her jewelry on the fingers or in the case of a broken neck, unfrized "mobs were not frizzed enough to pass over or to scorn these valuables; jewelry, money, and even furnishings were ruined as cases before the Negro home was set fire to.

Sherman, Tex., in Ruins after Three-Day Mob Pillage
Business Places First to be Burned
SHERMAN, Texas, (Special). — The colored section of this town, 200 miles northwest of Houston and 60 miles from Dallas, is in ruins this lies are back after a race riot lasting the better part of two days.
It began when Grayson County's new $100,000 construction was burned in an effort to lynch George Hughes, 41, accused of attacking a white woman.
Hughes was taken to the courtroom Thursday for identification and trial, his arms bound by a two-foot logging chain, one end of which was held by the sheriff.
Outside, officers held off for a time the mob which gathered and sought to take the prisoner. Hughes was finally hidden in a vault on the second floor built of one layer of concrete inside of two casings of steel. The mob to get Hughes, gasoline was thrown in the basement and the courthouse up in flames.
A blow torch and dynamite were used to open the vault as soon as the burned building cooled sufficiently to let members of the mob get to it. Hughes was suffocated and cooked (often warmed), warmed, was thrown out of the vault two stories to the ground below, as the crowd, now grown to nearly 6,000, shouted for joy. It landed with a twitch. A steel chain was hooked around the corpse, fastened to the rear end of an auto and the parade started for "nigger town." Leading the mob were the street vendors. Through the streets they marched and shouted, finally arriving before the largest colored business establishment in town. The body was moved to a nearby neath it and a huge bon fire lighted. Drugs, sandies and other valuable merchandise were used to feed the flames. Bob wanted more excitement. Faggots were carried to a nearby undertaker's shop, a drug store, a beauty salon, and a clothes pressing establishment. Soon they were afame, Faggots were called out, but the mob
In a short while two blocks of the colored section were burning, including a movie house, house, boarding house, barber shop, and several dwellings. Every Negro home was entered, the windows broken, the doors smashed and furnishings carried off or destroyed. The fire for the danger to the white section, all colored homes would have been set afire. Arrival of state national guardsmen prevented firing of the Frederick Sherman, Baptist Church. The soldiers protected the firemen's hose lines and set up a dead line around the colored section keeping all whites out. After a reign of terror, hundreds of colored men, women and children who had spent Friday night sleepiness in the suburbs, returned to what had been their homes. They had hidden their houses, fields, woods, gullies and underbrush.
Due to the burning of the colored undertaker's establishment, the remains of Hughes were better kept after soldiers had cut down the body. Saturday at mid-day, the arrival of more troops gave soldiers the upper hand, and the 100 guardmen had fled from the mob and fortified themselves. The mob used sticks, stones and bottles on the soldiers who had been killed. Colonel L. E. McGee, white, said, "We could have fought back had we resorted to gun fire, but there were women and children in the village to kill them. It was hard to see our men battered with sticks, bricks and stones, and refrain from firing, but the list of dead would Continue on Page Three, Col. 3
Howard Man's Memory Caused Parker's Defeat
DURHAM, N. C., (Special)—The long memory of a Howard University graduate caused the defense attorney Parker for the Strome Court. When Parker was first nominated for the High Court, the N.A.A.C.P. sent out a program asking him to record Parker's record and his attitude on the Negro question. The Howard man wired back, the Parker ran for governor ten years before and said something to offend Negroes. "Can you get the evidence?" wired the N.A.A.C.P. a morning clipping from the Greensboro B. (N.) Daily News, ten years old, was in the office of the N.A.A.C.P. That clipping cost Parker 10 cents. He lost by two notes 41 to 89.

DePriest Introduces His First Bill in Congress
The first bill by a colored member of Congress in the last 28 years was presented Monday in the House of Representatives by Mr. Oscar DePriest.
The measure which is known as H. R. 12316, provides for the payment of $493.70 for the settlement of a claim against the government by Allen Holmes, 519 N. 15th Street, Birmingham. The bill was referred to the committee on claims and ordered to be printed. Under the conscription act in force during the World War, Holmes was picked as a draft evader on September 6, 1918. It was later learned that Holmes was only 17 years of age and not subject to the draft law. He was released on March 15, 1919.
Due to the fact that Holmes was more than six months in the service of the United States at Camp McClellan, and had committed no crime, the measure seeks to give him the sum of $18 per week which he lost while being detained.
Holmes in reply to a letter of DePriest asking if the amount was satisfactory, wrote:
“I am pleased with the amount named. You have done more for me than anybody else. I really appreciate it.”

WHITELAW HOTEL
South Carolina Senator Holds Post Mortem on Senate Vote Friday
Blease would Reward Negroes Who Favored Parker
WASHINGTON—Holding a postmortem on the defeat of Judge J. Parker for confirmation as associate justice of the Supreme Court, Senator Cole Blease, (D.N.A.S.C.), read an editorial into the Congressional Record declaring that was a good opposition which caught rightful Republicans of the Senate to desist the administration and vote against Parker. Blease himself admitted that the margin was offset, by four or the Democrats who went over to the administration because of Negro opposition.
"But the drive against Parker may have been within its votes as strong as the organization labor not open its mouth."
Gave the South Helt
Senator Please continued by aing:
"On the street car on the way my hotel last evening there were colored men sitting right behind an other. Well, we gave the South to-day. The other Nero asked he and the other replied. 'By being Parker.' A lady sits beside him, and he asks her that he said. 'I said, Yes; but I not resent it because it is true.' On this statement Senator Tress well differed. Gaining the floor, he answered. President. I have never been very much in favor of holding no mortems, but in regard to the statement of my friend from South Carolina (M. Mr. Please). I will say that he must be on a different street from the one on which I was a passenger.
"On the street car on which I was traveling yesterday afternoon after the vote was taken there was great despondency on the part of several people in the district." Parker had been defeated. They were despondent at the rejection of his nomination because he had declared unconstitutional the so-called secrecy action in Richmond Va., secreting the names and the dates of the votes he gave some that kind may at some time come before the Supreme Court.
"It is merely a viewpoint of the Neacres; some were against him and some were for him. I think the more pretty evenly divided."
Would Buy Hats
Please leaped to his feet and answered that if Senator Trammel could find the Negroes who favored Parker he would buy each a hot.
He then started on one of his habitual denunciation speeches when Vice President Curtis raped for order and proceeded with the regular business

Funeral services for 14-year-old Emma Fuller were held from her home, 1821 Madison Avenue Saturday, and she was carried to her graves in a hearse. The child, over whom a controversy arose following the finding of her body on a porch several doors from her home, was said by some witnesses that she was the victim of a brutal assault.

AFRO reporters, investigating the case, found that the child was a victim of consumption, on account of her death, and that time her studies at the junior high school. This was brought to light when social workers attempted to learn why the child was backward in her development. At this time, the child declared that, although her mother sent her to school, she did not attend, but returned home and stole into the cellar where she slept on boards, in spite of the fact that the cellar was damp and dark.

OMAHA, Neb.—Following a heated campaign, in which Bos, Gentiles, Negroes and Polishities joined hands against the Ku Khux Klan, the Invisible Empire went down to defeat when the "Square Seven" was elected to preside at the City Hall, Tuesday.

ELLIS ISLAND—The question as to how big a 13-year-old Chinese boy should be was a deciding factor in the case of Fong Bing Lien, the United States last week after being detained on the island for several months and threatened with deportation.
Fong Bing Len is the son of Fong On, who runs a laundry in the Bronx. The father is a native Caymanian. He returned to China in 1916 and there the son was supposed to have been born. This would have made the boy 13 years old, but upon his arrival he cooked to China. The transportation officials fearing that the laundryman was trying to put something over on them refused to admit the boy. The father then employed James C. Thomas, former assistant unit chief of the habeus corpus blocking deportation and the boy was finally permitted to join his father.
NEGRO LABOR ISSUE
HALTS WHITE SCHOOL
Contention Arises over Employment of Bricklayers from South
CONTRACT HELD UP
Claim Local Award Can Solve D.C. Unemployment
WASHINGTON, (CNS)—Due to the expected employment of Negro labor from the South as one of the grounds of their attack, several white factions are bending every effort to block the award of the contract for the construction of a white single high jig Goldsboro, N. C., who, it is learned, employs bricklayers by a subcontractor.
The matter comes under the direction of the commissioners of the District and a public hearing was held on the issue Friday. The first speaker was John B. Colpoy, speaking as a representative of the Central Labor Union, who said that economically it would be cheaper to give the contract to the lowest District of Columbia bidder, whose employer the Rose received because all the money received by a local contractor would go to local mechanics, local supply houses, local stores and local banks.
Want Local Labor
Another speaker repeating this argument, stated that 5 per cent of the materials bought by Mr. Rose for the $750,000 job he is doing for the St. Elizabeth's Hospital, were bought in Washington. Mr. Colpoy's insisted that 100 per cent of the materials were bought outside of Washington, and that in the District there were not less than 3,000 building trade mechanics out of work.
Mr. Rose submitted figures to the commissioners showing that on the St. Elizabeth contract there were 60 men, of whom 20 were their ad-men, and 40 Washington. The men received $140,000 out of the $213,000 paid for labor. The commissioners took the matter under advisement until a meeting. It is customary to award commission contracts to the lowest hidden.

Awaits Court Order
NORFOLK, Va.—The meeting of the new origination committee to convene here May 21-23, has been indefinitely post-poned, according to an issued letter from W. W. Shivers.

WASHINGTON. — The report of the House appropriations committee on the naval appropriation bill, which is now under consideration in the House, discloses that an exhaustive and comprehensive survey has been made of the Virgin Islands by Herbert Brown, white, of the Bureau of Efficiency.
The naval appropriations bill, which was reported to the House on May 7, carries an appropriation of $327,000 for expenses incident to the occupation of the Virgin Islands and to the execution of the provisions of the act providing a temporary government measure.
The appropriations committee requested the inquiry with a view to finding ways and means of making

WASHINGTON. — While Elder G. W. Becton, the beau brummel of evangelists, is contenting himself with trying to save the mere quarter million inhabitants of Harlem, Elder L. Michaux has gone him one better by trying to convert the whole world by broadcasting his revival over the air from station WJSV, here.
Elder Michaux gives himself the title of the Radio Evangelist of America and is pastor of the Church of God, located at 2030 Georgia Avenue, nw. His broadcasts are made through the station located at Mount Vernon Hills, Va.
The city is placarded with bright re- and blue announcements, heralding the fact that war is declared on the devil through the radio, and people of all races, colors, creeds and denominations are invited to meet on the green stage every Sunday evening from six to seven, or come into the church.
Bright; Red Satan
The placards, which are also distributed in the homes, have a notation at the bottom reading: "Don't ever throw this card away. Frame it and hang it on the wall in your composition. In the center is a bright red likeness of Satan, with a pitchfork, horns and a tail, and he is branded as the devil, the enemy of every nation and is saying to himself, "I must retreat. My kingdom cannot stand, if people will believe that the Bible is the word of God." Another picture shows a group of soldiers in the trenches, who are soldiers of the cross, firing the word of God into Satan's kingdom, sayin'. "We must take him dead or alive; and another group of soldiers mounted on horses saying, "We had better charge him from the rear, for he is
Big Bootleger
Other objectives of the elder's war are the big bootleger, the church pet and politics. The bootleger is shown at the phone, excitedly giving the message. "Hello, Hell. Elder Michaux has declared war on my business." A messenger is shown doing business, and remarking that business surely has picked up since Elder Michaux declared war on the devil. Revival is staged under the annuities of the Gospel Spreading Association of the Church of God. The ammunition that the elder uses to blow up Satan's kingdom is the word of God, and the war cry is the sage. The preacher is aided in the congregation in singing spirituals.
the islands self-supporting. Since the purchase of the islands from Denmark in 1917, it has been necessary each year for the government to appropriate funds for practically half of the expense of their support. The most pressing needs of the islands are said to include cooperation in the provision of modern hotel accommodations, considered of prime importance in the encouragement of commerce and tourists; the establishment of a new educational policy in which vocational and alternative provision for government assistance to homeleaders and for the extension of the work of the experiment station to individuals on the farms and in the homes, as well as making available to the natives modern agricultural implements. An appropriation of $238,000 was made. The House committee declined to recommend this sum urging a more "modest program."

"A national emancipation of Seventh-Day Adventist communicants from a white leadership which believes that the Negro is worthy of Christian parity along with them," is what Elder J. K. Humphrey, for 26 years successful leader in that denomination and paspastor of the First Harlem Church, says is at the bottom of the revolt which has caused the organization of a new conference of that religious body. Last November, this church, comprising more than 700 members, voted to follow their Christian Conference, as a protest against what they called race prejudice in the administration of the affairs of the denomination.
Wanted Conference
For a number of years representative ministers of the Seventh-Day Adventists have been clamoring for a Negro conference in which their own higher leadership may find expression. The Seventh-Day Adventist denomination is composed of conferences, all of them presided over by white presidents. With the exception of missionary secretaries for colored work, the Negro leadership is for the most past confined to pastoring churches. Since with the appointments and the higher scales are made by these white leaders, many men in the conferences say that sharply marked racial policies have worked to the hardship of the Negro contingent.
Last year, due to the incessant appeal of the Negro contingent, the General Conference elected sixteen commissioners, eleven whites and five blacks to the General Council, the ability of a colored conference, and report at the Fall Council in October. According to a statement made by Elder Humphrey, the white members of this body called a meeting with the Negro members, and with the Negro members absent, formulated a recommendation against the establishment of a separate conference on the grounds that it would be financially burdensome. It was following this report, says Elder Humphrey, that his church de-

The financial system of the Seventh Division of the Army is a tithing system which makes each member pay from 30 cents to 60 cents each week. All of this money, together with special mission funds, is given to the general officers pay the pastors' salaries out of the general funds. The pastors are graded into first and second classes, and receive salaries accrued
S125.000 Project
When Elder Humphrey and his followers started in to purchase Utoya Park, a 151-acre tract near Atlantic Hglands, where they propose to develop an industrial school, hotel sanitarium, and a community of 1600 home sites, the executive committee has decided that the pastor and church seceded and, with six other churches, are organizing a new conference.
The Utopia Park development was
built in 1960. It comprised the former Hosford
estate, and for years was one of the
most beautiful parks in New York.
There are three large lakes on
the property and its priceless gardens and trees brought by the multimillionaire section of the globe are in excellent condition. It is the plan of Elder Humphrey to develop a community where people are being sold on small payments. The purchasers are not restricted to the membership of the church but the lots are being sold to people from every section of the globe.
The Adventists throughout the country operate, besides schools and colleges, 45, 45, 50,000. According to Elder J. E. Jervis, well known pastor of that denomination, who has thrown his future in with the movement, the church's control discriminate against the entrance of Negroes.
The time has come, he says, for Negroes to be discriminate, or establish one of their own which follows the actual precepts and example of Jesus.

THOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER
(May, 1906)
I have been impressed with the printed account of the address of one of our young men who act as a teacher of the English to the General Conference in Colored Methodist Episcopal Church, temphis, Tenn.
He is the Rev. A. L. Gaines, graduate of A. M. University and Gammon Theological Society, and at present, pastor of Bettel A.M. Church, Baltimore. The Rev. Mr. Gaines is spok of as a candidate for editor of the Christian accord at Norfolk, Va., May, 1908.
One sentence of his address is especially not worthy. He says:
"Our country in reality must become a tempelth God as its summit and a people who a cualit as its base.

One sentence of his address is especially noteworthy. He says:

State Campaign Opens
Those who felt that Mr. Wilhard W. Aller might have been embarrassed by the warm air and/or with a testimonial banquet to his turn turned into a political rally for Mayor Broenel W., who has the gubernatorial bee in his bonnet, received a second shock last week, when the assessments" put on at the banquet in honor of newly Council Walter S. Emerson appeared designed to lead the mayor than to fend Emerson. On the back of the AFRO-AMERICAN who requested not to publish a flashlight photograph the mayor seated at the table with Emerson because this photograph might be led by the mayor's enemies on the Eastern side of the State to turn votes to the Democrat. To cap the climax, last Thursday a group of tenemen — 26 out of 100 invited — met the civilian Fishermen's Hall and adopted a preparation of the Mr. Broening and urged his announcement his candidacy for governor. Consulting the list of those present, this latter mother is it noticeable the selected leaders of the city are not noticeable absent. Not only are the war committeemen and committeewomen are inconvenient in a group in which Masonic leaders learn way and hold the money, while local clergy make up the bulk of the committee membership. Seeking about the reason for all this pro-promotion activity, the AFRO last week made the discovery that Mayor Broening had opened the booklet and placed several gentlemen upon G.O.P. pay. The Baltimore know that the mayor does nothing to warrant the enthusiastic support of colored people. Later, the AFRO was accusing his administration and his appointment with the naming of Mr. Allen on the temporary zoning board and ending with the timing of Mr. Arthur Briscoe to a jim crew and assistant solicitorship, which does not permit him to the courthouse for desk room. We also purpose as the campaign develops further with the amplifications of the Broening among colored folk and analytes, whether they be of public welfare or private weal. It's important after all to know whether the clause and endorsement of the mayor are spontaneous and genuine, or of the bought and paid variety.

On the back of this, the AFRO-AMERICAN was requested not to publish a flashlight photograph which showed the mayor seated at the table with Mr. Emerson because this photograph might be used by the mayor's enemies on the Eastern Shore of the State to turn votes to the Democrat.

Seeking about for a reason for all this pre-campaign activity, the AFRO last week made the discovery that Mayor Broening had opened his pocketbook and placed several gentlemen upon the G.O.P. payroll. The citizens of Baltimore know that the mayor has done nothing to warrant the enthusiastic support and placed people. Later, the AFRO will discuss his administration and his appointments, beginning with the naming of Mr. Allen on the temporary zoning board and ending with the naming of Mr. Arthur Briscoe to a jim crow assistant solicitorship, which doesn't permit him inside the courthouse for desk room. We also purpose as the campaign develops to go further into the role of the Broening leadership among colored folk and analyze whether they be of public welfare or private weat. It's important after all to know whether the applause and endorsement of the mayor are spontaneous and genuine, or of the bought and paid for variety. The AFRO-AHBICAN is not opposed to Mayor Broening to the governor, nor are we for him. But we wonder why we should get het up in action, when Mr. Broening has not made any pre-election statement or even announced his candidacy.
Bishop John Hurst
Bishop John Hurst
Strangely enough, Bishop John Hurst, who last week was commonly regarded as Baltimore's most citizen, although his episcopal areas center in North Carolina and his church in South Carolina in many hundreds of miles of away.
This course was due in part to the fact that he maintained an episcopal residence here, and frequently during the year he occupied it.
Through his mother, a native of the Eastern Mound, Bishop Hurst sprang from Maryland and the church here claimed him as its own. He fellow-townsman recognized his work and supported his eleventh son, the bishop of the bishop to recall all the lines in which his influence operated.
Wherever he presided as bishop, the chapel now in numbers and in power; it supported church schools and colleges and sent its pasture summer schools and Chautauquas.
He did not have two views on race relations; he or the North, and for the South. He spoke boldly for manhood rights in Florida as he found the time to serve as a director of the National association for the Advancement of Colored People and as an honorary member of the Ropes of Union Station, Washington.
Dr. Mordecail Johnson, president of Howard University, and as a director of the National association for the Advancement of Colored People of Bishop Hurst was still young people to see him and sought a counsel, because years opened his mind instead of closing it.
Normally a Republican, Bishop Hurst opposed Mayor Broening, a Republican, and voted for Howard W. Jackson, a Democrat.
In the Maryland election he selected William Cabell Bruce, a Democrat, over the present Phillips Lee Goldborow Republican. He approved "Ai" Smith for President instead of Mr. Hoover.
In common with the young people of tomb Bishop Hurst saw through the hypocrisy and conservatism of the Republican party. He knew practice of buying up the purchasable Negro levers and he turned his back upon it.
He was a man of character better, war, and happier because of his presence. He only preached, but he lived, the life of a Christian bishop, whose elevation left him still with the common touch.
He died as he lived, and it is significant that chose as his burial garment the habilitation of simple gospel minister.
Strangely enough, Bishop John Hurst, who died last week was commonly regarded as Baltimore's first citizen, although his episcopal areas centered in Florida and more recently in South Carolina, many hundreds of miles of away.
This of course was due in part to the fact that he maintained an episcopal residence here, and frequently during the year he occupied it.
Through his mother, a native of the Eastern Shore, Bishop Hurst sprang from Maryland soil, and the church here organized his worth and sponsored the tenement to the bench of bishops.
The death of the bishop served to recall the many lines in which his influence operated.
Wherever he presided as bishop, the church grew in numbers and in power; it supported its church schools and colleges and sent its pastors to summer schools and Chautauquas.
He did not have two views on race relations; one for the North, and one for the South. He spoke as boldly for manhood rights in Florida as in Maryland.
He found the time to serve as a trustee of Howard University, and as a director of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and as an honorary member of the Red Caps of Union Station. Washington.
Dr. Mordecal Johnson, president of Howard, was correct when he said it was impossible for any man, to predict one year in advance the politics of Bishop Hurst. At sixty-six Bishop Hurst was still young. Young people flocked to see him and sought his counsel, because years opened his mind instead of closing it. Von Worland, a Republican, Bishop Hurst opposed Mayor Broening, a Republican, and voted for Mr. Howard W. Jackson, a Democrat.
In the Maryland senatorial election he supported ex-Senator William Cabell Bruce, a Democrat, over the present Phillips Lee Goldsborough, a Republican. He approved "Al" Smith for President instead of Mr. Hoover.
In common with many of today Bishop Hurst, through the hypocrisy and conservation the Republican party. He knew its practice of buying up the purchasable Negro leaders and he turned his back upon it.
Wherever he went, the people were better, wiser, and happier because of his presence. He not only preached, but he lived, the life of a Christian bishop, whose elevation left him still with the common people. He lived, and it is significant that he chose as his burial garment the habilitation of a simple gospel minister.

The Parker Vote
One additional word ought to be spoken about the case of Lily-White Judge John J. Parker of North Carolina, whom the Senate refused to confirm for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. Judge Parker was defeated by a combination of twenty-two Republicans and twenty-six Democrats. For the most part these Democrats and Republicans constitute the liberal, progressive element of the Upper House, referred to by Secretary of Agriculture Hyde in a recent public address as "those wild men of the Senate."
The language — indecous and inelephant, but nevertheless descriptive — was probably suggested by President Hoover, although Mr. Hoover was politician enough not to give voice to it himself.
Their wildness undoubtedly consisted in their breaking away from the Presidential leading strings and voting down an candidate for the Supreme Court. By so doing, they gave Mr. Hoover the worst defeat of his administration; and, unless he is slow to learn, the President will not play politics any further with Supreme Court judges.
The Parker vote was not due to deference to the Negro vote alone, nor to the labor vote alone, but to the combination of these influences, aided by Democrats like Senators Sheppard, Trammell, Heffin and George, whose main interest was to prevent what they feared would result in the strengthening of the Republican party in the strengthening of the Republican party in the South.
It was to be expected that liberal Republican Senators from northern and western States like, Norris, Nye, Blaire, Borah, Frazier, Howell, Sellah, Laforte and Johnson, would stand for the rights
It was also to be expected that Republican Senators like Deneen (III), Glenn (III), Robinson (Ind.), Capper (Kans.), Robbion (Ky.), and Pine (Okla.), would stand firm for the rights of the Negro.
But to these must be added Democratic Senators like Tydings (Id.), Wagner (N.Y.), Brock (Tenn.), Barkley (Ky.), Copeland (N.Y.), McKellan (N.Y.) and Walsh (Mass.) who, though Democrats, have a consequential number of Negro constituents.
To the AFRO-AMERICAN, this seems to be the most striking feature of the Parker defeat; namely, the willingness of Democrats in northern and border States to speak out for Negro suffrage as did Senator Wagner, and when the time comes to back up their talk with their votes. Another surprising feature is that Senate vote was the inability of colored voters in Ohio, Virginia, Delaware, New Jersey and West Virginia to get either one of their two Senators to vote against Parker.
These gentlemen, doubtless value the favor of the White House more than the good will of their colored constituents, a subject or which they very probably hear move at the next primary
We have with us again this week Judge Robert Moss, white, of the circuit court of Annapolis Maryland, clared that nearly eighty-five per cent of the colored witnesses who appeared before him were perjurers.
This time, Judge Moss had before him two men accused of malicious destruction of twenty tombstones at St. Anne's Cemetery, valued at $1,000. Judge Moss, when preparing to pass sentence is quoted as saying: "I believe you were drunk because I do not believe a sober Negro would go into a graveyard at night."
The inference here is that the average Negro is a believer in graveyard superstitions and ghosts and therefore is afraid of a graveyard at night, Judge Moss's friends should inform him that such beliefs prevail mainly among the illiterate, and that superstitions of all sorts as widely among ignorant whites as illiterate Negroes.
Moreover, since in the main, only those persons visit graveyards who have loved ones buried there, and since these visits are for the purpose of caring for the grave or musing upon the life of the departed, deliberation might convince Judge Moss, that no one, drunk or sober, black or white, would ordinarily visit graveyards at night, unless it were for some sinister purpose.

Please allow me a little space in your paper to tell your readers of a statement made by the Rev. Simon Williamson, for the Faith Bapisia Church, last Sunday.
Among other things, Rev. Williamson stated that plenty of work is available for men who are walking around pretending to look for work but who don't want work.
I can not see how the Rev. Mr. Williamson can make such a statement, unless he does not know how acute the unemployment situation is, and has been for the past four months. But it is not a small one that has not seen how I have been this situation of much as he was one of the delegation of preachers to call on Mayor Broening a few weeks ago, to ask for relief for the unemployment situation.
I have been out of work since the 11th of De Cember, and it isn't because I haven't tried hard to get the new circumstances of others to the my circumstances, who would certainly than the Reverend if he would tell us where to find some of the work he speaks of as being available.
Of course, the Rev. Mr. Williamson thinks that men can get work simply because he has a job and draws it out. I am a fat salary. The people are in a good place to keep these sky pilots living in luxury while they are living in poverty.
Preachers are continually harping about the golden slippers, starry crown and long white robe you will wear when you get to heaven, and on Sunday they will drain every penny out of you. You will be a good-footed, ragged and hatless here on earth.
These church systems are rotten, and I am proud to say that I am not a member. If I do join a church they would soon put me out, because I would not stand for the kind of system they have. ROBERT T. RIOCKS, 1823 Abbott-st., Baltimore, Md.
Among other things, Rev. Williamson stated that plenty of work is available for men who are walking around pretending to look for work, but who don't want work.
I can not see how the Rev. Mr. Williamson can make such a statement, unless he does not know how acute the unemployment situation and how hard he can work. And I do not see how he can fail to know this situation, inasmuch as he was one of the delegation of preachers to call on Mayor Broening a few weeks ago, to ask for relief for the unemployment situation.
I have been out of work since the 11th of December, and it isn't because I haven't tried hard to find work. There are numbers of other men in my circumstances, who would certainly thank the Reverend if he would tell us where to find some of the work he speaks of as being available. Of course, the Rev. Mr. Williamson thinks that men can get work simply because they are in circumstances where the people are just dumb enough to keep these sky pilots living in luxury while they are living in poverty.
Preachers are continually harping about the golden slippers, starry crown and long white robe you will wear when you get to heaven, and on Sunday you will wear in every penny robe you will wear to have no bare-foot, ragged and bathed here on earth.

Address (in part) of Dr. Mordecai Johnson, president of Howard University, at funeral of Bishop John Hurst, at Bethel A.M.E. Church, Baltimore, May 9.
(Bz AERO-AMERICAN Staff Reporter)
At present Howard University is concerned with the training of young men, and the life of Bishop John Hurst is an example of an educated man. He was intelligent and well informed. He had also a great love for
P
I was impressed by the statement here that Bishop Hurst walked 17 miles every Sunday in order to visit three charges committed to his care. So women will not do the best when there is no one to look at them. But Bishop Hurst was untrying in his efforts for the people where there were no men to see him. He carried on because of the conviction that the people needed him.
Mordecal Johnson
The test of a great man is what grows under his influence. Bishop Hurst, the churches that doles threw them off, and the churches with small memberships increase in number. People thought that they influence, they found that they did not want to get rid of suffering, but wanted something to suffer for. They clapped their hands and joined that they had a man who did things.
I rejoice that Bishop Hurst had the interest in the people who only an intelligent man with a spirit of religion can have. There was uncertainty about him. One did not know whether he would vote Republican or Democratic or Progressive His interest in politics was secondary to his interest in human beings.
He always sought to find out whether the leaders would deal fairly with the people, and offer a program for their emancipation.
There is nothing more worthy than a group of leaders glorying in their spirit of loyalty to no party except that party which is loyal to the people.
He belonged to the N.A.A.C.P. because he felt that he needed to keep up a continual program of emancipation. He was a man who would suffer on account of public interest. He recognized that the people were first.
The real test of character is the exercise of power, give me power and watch which man I love. I do advance those who fawn over me and say those things to hear. Do I advance them on their worth, or when they may have a difference of opinion with me?
In exercising my power, do I try to build up my power in my position, or do I select those who will carry on the work? When Bishop Hurst was approached by persons seeking favors for their friends, he would want me, not here to give him, but what he gave me. He was not afraid because of his convictions and beliefs. Bishop Hurst could look into the face of man and say, "I have been made clean by practicing integrity, and have been obedient to God in my life."
I think there is no greater virtue, that we can pay than the carrying on of the soul of the man.
There is no man who reaches a high position, of the people and fails that does not carry their hopes and ambitions with him. They would like to believe that God but their hopes have given them a fearlessly building up a machine for their advancement, we want to believe that the world is true.
is how things grow under his influence. Under Bishop Hurst, the churches with debts threw them off, and the churches with small membership increased. The people thought they could suffer no more. But Bishop Hurst's influence, the power that they did not want to suffer, but wanted something to suffer for. They clapped their hands and rejoiced that they had a man who could do things. I rejoice that Bishop Hurst had the interest in public affairs which the intelligent man can have. There was uncertainty about him.

Give me power to watch which man can make those those who fawn over and in say those things I like to hear? Or, do I advance them on their worth, even when they have a difference of opinion with me?
In exercising my power, do I try to build up a machine to keep me in my position? When Bishop Hurst was approached by persons seeking favors for their friends, he would say I am not here to give you advice, but what he had to have. He was not afraid because of his convictions and beliefs. Bishop Hurst could look into the face of man and say, I have been made a man, I have been made and have been carried to God in my dealings.* I think there is no greater !tub! that we can pay than the carrying on of the soul of the man.
There is no great man who reaches a high position in the hop; of the people and animals who not carry a hammer would like to believe that God lives, but their hopes have been shattered. But when we see a strong man fearlessly building up a machine for their advancement, we want to believe that the world is true. Wherever a great man ever lived, the people of a long run, thanked God for him. The people of Florida, South Carolina, Maryland, are going to thank God because of John Hurst.

Remarks by Walter White at the funeral of Bishop John Hurst, held at the Bethel A.M.E. Church, Baltimore, Maryland, Friday, May 9, at 11 a.m.
Never have I been faced with a more difficult task than of complying with the ving request of Bishop Hurst, to say a few words at his funeral.
I think of Bishop Hurst this morning in three different characters. There is first the John Hurst who was a Bishop of the Episcopal Church. There is second the Episcopal Church. I have never known a man who so nearly approximated in his life the high ethical standards of the Bishop of Gallilee. Never did Bishop Hurst parade his religious beliefs nor, being the wisely tolerant man that I have those
who was a Bishop of the great African Methodist Church. I have never known a man who personally approximated his life the high ethical standards of Christianity and of the Man of Gallilee. Never did Bishop Hurst parade his religious beliefs nor, being the wisely tolerant man that he was did he ever seek to imitate those beliefs upon him. His was a simple, beautiful, moving body which was content to rest upon a whole rather than precept.
beliefs upon others. His was a simple, beautiful, moving faith which was content to rest upon example rather than precept.
I think, too, of Bishop Hurst as one of the founders and as a director of organization of which I, at the moment, am acting secretary of the Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Unlike many other men, both within and without the church, he did not have one doctrine for the South and one for the North. His was the more anguished, ambitious, and even tough might be the reward for brave championship of the rights of his people, he was willing to risk that fate rather than yield his principles and beliefs.
Year in and year out he stood sturally by the association, everware and to worry or to question a moment where John Hurst stood we knew that we could rely always upon his integrity, his wise counsel. His place can never be filled end his loss is one from which we shall never recover.
Finally, I think of John Hurst as my friend—tender, considerate, ever fearful of self. He was no more than that. I knew always that I could turn to him for comfort when life seemed harsh and hopeless. I could always turn to him for counsel when in doubt, him the one care of happiness he came to our home and we were proud of the fact that he was the godfather of our daughter.
It is probably a selfish thought but I can not help the feeling that I personally have lost him who was one of the trust and best beloved friends I have ever known.
LIBERTY
I think, too, of Bishop Hurst as one of the founders and as a director of that organization of which I, at the moment, am acting solely — the National Association of the Brunetone within and without the church, he 'd not have one doctrine for the South and one for the North. His was the courageous man, the positive man, the South and even though might be the reward for brave championship of the rights of his people, he was willing to risk that fate rather than yield his principles and beliefs.
Year in and year out he stood staunely by the association. He never had to worry or to —we knew in the moment John Hurst stood —we knew that we could rely always upon his courage, his integrity, his wise counsel. His place can never be filled and his loss is one from which we shall never recover.
Finally, John Hurst as my friend —as dear to me as my own father and I can say no more than that. I knew always that I could turn to him for comfort when life seemed hard for me and I could not find comfort in doubt. With him there came an air of happiness whenever he came to our home and we were proud of the fact that he was the godfather of our daughter.
It is probably a selfish thought that I can not help the feeling that he loved him lost, friends of the truest and best beloved
LIBERTY
When I shall die, for mercy sake, don't cry!
Don't shed a tear. I shall be standing nigh.
I shall be there and look upon my bier,
And all the things you say I, too, shall hear.
When I shall die, when I shall say farewell,
And mourning, you will stand around this
shell,
Folding these arms in peace across this breast,
And telling others I have gone to rest.
I shall be looking at you, at you there,
I may be seated in your chair, Marie chair,
I may be smiling at the fuss you make,
I shall not be in any haste to take
My flight to other worlds, for at last, free,
I'll do whatever I think please me.
I'll take some interest in the obsequies.
And see how long they'll hold the services.
Of course, they'll say the things they never said
When I hiked the hill, the things the dead
Don't need at all; remember, if I shout,
You'll know full well just what it is about.
And when they have consigned this shell to
Of course, they'll say the things they never said
When I had need for them, the things the dead
Don't need at all; remember. If I shout,
You'll know full well just what it is about.
And when they have consigned this shell to
earth,
Don't mourn, but dike yourself in grabs of mirth.
Rejoice, I say, rejoice, rejoice with me!
For I, I shall have gained my liberty!

The Laughs Behind The News
Last Sunday was Mothers' Day, and everybody wore a carnation to commemorate the occasion. Sending a bag of flour to mother's kitchen would have been a better way to show appreciation than wearing a dozen flowers on the coat.
Mothers' Day does bring out the best in one, however, because one wealthy citizen was so full of gratitude for what his mother had done for him that he jumped in his expensive car and drove fifty miles out to visit her at the poor house just to show her a photograph of his new eighteen-room house.
Mothers are like collar buttons. The average man only has one.
One guy was wearing only half a carnation in his hand and explained that his brother had the other half because they were twins.
Of course, this wasn't half as bad as the fellow who carried a bunch of poison ivy because he thought it was Mother-in-law's Day.
They claim that mothers like boys better than fathers do, but it is noticeable that only a father will cut down his own half of pants and many a pants who follow in his father's footsteps, so does he because he is wearing his dad's cast off shoes.
Mother used to sit a lamp in the window to guard her wandering boy but in these days of inactive prohibition, the boy does not need a light, because he is apt to be lit up himself.
Votes for women gave an opportunity for the mothers of this country to write the Eighteenth Amendment on the law books of the land, and bootleggers are giving fathers and ones an opportunity to wipe it off.
President Hoover says that prohibition is only an experiment, and everybody is going along with his own particular brand of home brew.
Mothers played a great part in the history of our nation. It was the mothers who forced their children to take care of the children by bringing what is known today as the first oil scandal.
Nothing, however, has helped to promote education in America like castor oil. Many of the children have his disaster for the old home remedy kept him from playing hookey from school. That is why many of them can sing, "Oil I am, mother dear, I owe to you."
It was mothers who forced their husbands and sons to change their white shirts when they became soiled, which prevented the Black Shirt Party of Italy from getting a hold in America.
It was mothers who forced their barefoot boys to wash their feet before going to bed because The was the term that started the great concentration of Foot-Wash Baptists.
Commemorating these noble deeds, churches all over the country celebrated Mothers Day by chanting "Mamma Song," and preachers spoke from the text. "And after Adam and Eve had partaken of the fruit in the Garden of Eden they threw the apple away to rot and after nine days it became the mother of vinegar."

It is thought that the brick-making industry will be completely crippled, causing contractors and builders to lose considerable sums. Pharaoh will be asked to appoint a commission to study the situation and employ the engineers to restore law and that the economic stability of the country may be maintained.

The Proofreader Talks
When beginning the discussion of the possessive case, several weeks ago in these talks, I stated that it might be regarded as the pons asinorum of English grammar. Much that I have noted since, then convinces me that interrogation is justified.
The fact that the matter seems so difficult is an illustration of the slipphness and shallowness of the methods of work in the present-day primary schools; for the matter belongs this relatively to the matter belonged to the generation ago was accomplished there, in the little red schoolhouses, at least.
The high schools and the colleges accept the present situation, perhaps on the theory that grammar and punctuation, and the use of their level, and it may be that it is just as well that they let these alone since the instructors usually have traversed only the same roads as the students.
It's just like that, so long ago I used to college graduate lamenting the difficulty of percentage. Said he: "I never could understand pe centeage. Some of the rules said to multiply and some said divide. No matter which we did we were wrong half the time.
Exactly. And with so the pesky apostrophe: "Sometimes they say to put it before the s. next thing you know they say to put it after the n. Now which is right?"
The facts, that in percentage reason must determine the procedure, and in the placing of the apostrophe the varying conditions are the determiner factor selected, the "matter" or "present-day pupil" in such cases, whether mathematical or grammatical, are permitted to detour around the obstruction and "go ahead()". As stated in a previous talk, there are two rules, rules governing the use of the apostrophe in the possessive case of NOUNS (rather, there are two rules, one having two cases under it); these have been given. For PRONOUNS there is one rule. Don't use the apostrophe in any case.
The reluctance to buckle down and learn these and similar rules and the conditions governing their application seems to be the most matters. I know a dozen persons who have mastered the fifteen or twenty rules and the complicated procedure of auction bridge who fall down here. In the phrase "in the Elks hall," we should place the apostrophe before the s or after it or (as I have done here) leave it out altogether. Yet, it is the business of some of these simple rules of grammar.
And in a manuscript, which I have just laid down, written by one of our literary lights—who conducts a double column in one of the leading weblists and who has contributed to American literature—there is an apostrophe, “their” each time the word while the word “wont” (will not) has none.
P.S.-This last information may
be chosen so to use it.
Hampton's Regusted
There have been several disturbances in chapel lately that have been even more annoying than usual. Certain speakers have been known to have assumed mannersisms which though characteristic of the individuals, as we know, yet continually give rise to mish- and even rude remarks. Some of them have been interested in Radio Conventions, and decidedly uncomplimentary to a respectable student body participating in vesper services. Won't we ever learn how to respect people, and not interact with them? What interest as funny? Can't we be gentlemen and ladies, even if the speakers do lose their temper over our exasperating manners. We would like to have a little care on this score is in order. Somebody is going to embarrass us badly some of these days and it may be more calling than dismissing chapel or suspending them. We must do our toolfulness and we must stop it.

An Annual Conference Fable
From the Young Allenite-
From the Young Allentice-
SCENE-A. A.M.E. Church Buildar.
CHARACTERS - The Bishop and Confer-
ence Minister - Stella Sweet and Bye.
TIME IN THE SETTLE
Reporting Pastor Bison, in making this report, hate to say that it has been as last year. I have had many difficulties—
Bishop: Read your report. Brother.
(The brother reads.)
Bishop: Brother. you are Forty
Dollars behind in Dollar Money and
your other claims are also behind.
Reporting Pastor: Yes. Bishop. I
Bishop: How much support did you receive for your family and yourself.
Reporting Pastor: $210.00. Bishop.
Bishop (rise s from his chair and looks full in the face of the Brother who stands trembling before him): My Brother.. I am sorry for you; really you have my sympathy. I believe you DID your very best to bring up your claims. But how can I expect of you any more than our Heavenly Father expects of me. Now don't worry about your Conference shortage. I worry about the meagre support you received last year. but your church is poor and I feel it did all for you which it could do. The law allows me $100.00 to hold this Conference and I shall give you half of it for your family. And I shall do everything I can to appoint you to a charge which can do better by you and yours. God bless you, my Brother. You have been a faithful pastor over a few sheep: I shall send you where your pasture will be larger. (Pause) Now I instruct the Finance Committee to mark our Brother "Paid-up" on all of his roll-calls. Take your seat. Comrade-in-Service, and may God bless you and yours.
(Consternation) The Conference appears stunned. The Brother who unconscious to the floor. Others of the passars begin to weep and the Conference is in the excitement the section runs to the street-corner and pulls the switch to the door. The police runs to the drug store and phones for the police ambulance. A few moments later, as the ambulance is elongating to the church, the Bishop also succeeds to the prealing excitement and he hands the hand. The ambulance-stretchers are brought in and the Bishop and the reporting p-ster are laid upon them with tender hands.
Fire Chief (who is a Methodist): Captain, send your apparatus away. You cannot help here. The Spirit of Christ and water can't put that out. The Ambulance Doctors (who had been examining the different ters complexes on the floor); Say, Chief, no use to send these pastors to the hospital. They will be all be right in a few months. The disease never before heard of in a Negro Methodist Conference. The Bishop has infected all of them with M.O.H.K. which in similar means means the "Milk of Human Kind."

The Negro Defeats Judge Parker, Says Kelly Miller
The Negro Defeats Judge Parker, Says Kelly Miller
Hoover Committed to a Lily-white Program, Since the West is Out of the G.O.P. Column and the South Comprises the Only Field for Expansion.
By KELLY MILLER
I sat in the Senate gallery for a week of afternoons and watched the ebb and flow of the tide for and against the confirmation of Judge Parker. I was keenly anxious to trace the effect of the Negro's protest upon the outcome.
The chief opponents of the nominee had no interest in the racial aspect of the question. Senator Borah, leader of the Progressives, had the tranxness to say so.
Usually the Negro's protest against discrimination a n d proscription makes little or no impression on the executive or legislative branch of the government. The race, all but unanimously joined in violent protest against President Hoover's all white Haitian Commission and his segregation policy as concerns the Cold Star Mothers. But such presentations passed by as many as 100 winds which heeded nor respected. But at this particular juncture the political pyramid stood on apex. The slightest impressment of force might easily turn it one way or the other. The situation was sensitive.
The Vote
The Republican Senators from Oklahoma, West Virginia, Missouri, Maryland, and Delaware, where the Republican party is wholly at the mercy of the Negro, voted for confirmation.
In the states of New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Colorado, Rhode Island, and New York, where the Negro vote may turn the tide in a close contest, there was no breach among the Republican regulars. In Indiana and Illinois, Senatorial vote was split. But it required strained reasoning to attribute the vote of Deneen or Robinson to Negro persuasion. Neither of them is standing for re-election. It is far easier to attribute their alignment to labor and other influences.
But in all of these instances, while the Negro protest did not change the vote it caused deep commotion in their ranks, and put the disconcerted Senators on the apologetic defensive.
Tammany Purrs
Over Harley
Their general attitude was expressed by Senator Herbert of Rhode Island, and Gillette of Massachusetts, to the effect that while they retreated the indiscreet utterance of Judge Parker, yet they felt convinced that his campaign utterance was infiltrating him. His judicial attitude and would therefore cast their vote for him. This might be called a moral victory.
There was but one man, on either side of the chamber, who made a frontal attack on Parker because of his avowed racial attitude. Senator Wagner, a New York Democrat, openly declared that he deemed any man unfit to interpret the Constitution, such as an unfriendly attitude against the legal rights of fellow citizens on account of race or color.
Tammany with folded claws, purrs over Harlem tenderly.
There is left a single vote which was decisive of the issue whose casting can be attributed directly to the Negro's protest, and that is the vote of Senator Robbion of Kentucky. On the morning after the ballot, he is announced as candidate for self-sucession for both the short and long terms. He could have no help in human hopes without the Negro's support. Had Senator Robbion voted with the administration, Judge Parker would have been confirmed, and Mr. Hoover's lily white policy sustained. So that Mr. Hoover may trace his chagrin and humiliation, not only indirectly, but directly to Negro influence.
Lincoln Johnson
Aided Taft
This is the second time in our political history that the Negro's assertive influence has decisively arraigned the role of the great Republican party. Lincoln Johnson, in 1912, threw the National Republican Convention from Roosevelt to Taft, and thereby wrote a bad chapter in the history of American politics.
Mr. Hoover has staked his political future and fortune on his lily white program. He will rise or fail with it. He feels duty bound to perpetuate the economic policies of Republican party. He is a hopeful hope of holding the great trans-Mississippi states to that hoary doctrine. If the Grand Old Party is to hold its preeminent boundary Southward. North Carolina is a more hopeful Northern state than Nebraska. The Negro's constitution must be sacrificed. Mr. Hoover recurs, but is helpless, once he has taken hold of the lily white plow handle. The vancement of Judge Carter and others of his lily white persuasions are inevitable parts of the unfolding of his great plan of Southward ex-
When the Negro voted for Mr. Hoover last fall, he thereby gave potential support to Mr. Huston as head of the National Republican Committee and to Judge Parker as instructor of the Supreme Court. From the first, I have supported Mr. Hoover, but understood him. I support him now, barring his illly white program.

A Church Looks
Toward Utopia
You should be interested in Elder
J. K. Humphrey, director general of
Utopia Park, a 216-acre development
one and one-half miles from
Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey.
The Rev. Mr. Humphrey may
some day take a place in church
history similar to the great Rich-
ard of the A.M.E. Church, for
he is leading, another Protestant
movement which is meant to
establish another Seventh Day
Adventist denomination in America
The Elder with an unusually young and active face, alert eyes, and hair picturesquely gray, will tell you that his faction of the church, seeking to destroy racial prejudice in the denomination, has succeeded to establish a church into which can come any and every race. Of course most of us know that even 2000 years after Jesus Christ came to this world to set up all that we know, there are still only a few of them in which every race is welcomed. But back to the Rev. Mr. Humphrey, and the great Seventh Day Adventist denomination. For a number of years 600 members of his church have been required to contribute 60 cents each per week to the conferences, but the white leaders of the denomination still bar the church from encouraging their attendance and educational institutions and saintlums partly supported by that money.
Conference presidents, he says, with power to make pastoral assignments and fix salaries, are all white, and mingle with this authority their natural feelings on the race question.
Whenever a Negro pastor, he says, shows any critical attitude, he is shunted to some place in the denomination designed as punishment.
"The Negro will never again be satisfied with religious crumbs thrown from the white man's table, nor will he always continue to make his entrance through the back door," schematically declared Elder Humphrey.
So they have set out to establish another conference and have purchased Utopia Park, where they plan to build a hotel, school and sanitarium, as well as a community to the 1600 building lots in the subdivision.
The project is a big one. the site alone costing $125,000; but many churches have spent $125,000 for a hundred times less than the Utopa Park group is getting in addition to a real religion without race prejudice. Let us hope that they succeed.
What it Costs to be a Good Friend
"Next to the love of mothers for the children they bring into this world, comes the love in friendship," writes a man in a column, telling of the painfulness of giving to get him behind penitentiary bars.
"This man has lost a home and has willingly sacrificed all the money he could spare over a period of two years in his effort to free me," the letter of the writer says.
Few of us have ever been called upon to exercise the more sacrificing requirements of real friendship. The fact of being so could be real friends even if the call came. It would cost us too
Likewise, few of us have any real friends. There are relations, of course, which thrive in the times when everything goes right and the world is roseate, but generally these relations fade under the burning sun of adversity or are blown away in the storms of war. One of the Maryland penitentiary, for instance, there are many forgotten human beings, who once had boon companions and who once called many persons their friends in whose minds their names are by occasional memories now. A mother never forgets her child, though she might be on the crest of good fortune or sink into piles of adversity, neither does a real friend forget another in fair or cloudy weather. Are you a friend to anyone? Have you a real friend?
Daylight Saving and Working People
Daylight saving time, put on a 100 per cent basis, and distributes this benefit 100 per cent to all citizens, would be both economically as well as socially a benefit. But daylight saving time, with its confusion and hardness, some may not be a benefit. Who works in a moment family here told this writer this week that daylight saving has meant two hours added to her already long working hours. She gets up one hour earlier and stays one hour later, on account of it, though the family she works for gets one hour of added play time out. Most workers complain that on hot nights they get to sleep to a addition lose the most restful hour of the early and cool morning.
People who attend night affairs are also finding that most of the churches, lodges and other organizations run on standard time, while they must get up on daylight saving time.
WHAT THIS CONFUSION MAY MEAN TO THE HEALTH, TOTAL EFFICIENCY AND HAPPINESS OF THE WORKING MASSES SHOULD BE OF SERIOUS CONCERN.
There is no doubt but that if everybody in Baltimore would turn his clock up one hour and forget about it, it would be good thing, but as it now works with one-third of the people in our hour ahead of their appointments, another third hour behind, and the other third about to lose their minds, trying to figure out whether they are ahead or behind the right time, the darn thing is at this stage of the game is a nuisance.
Africans Say:
"Africans have much in common with us as wit and wisdom, and we are in need of them. It is time for us to get away from the notion that they are in an inferior and less educated man. In many cases we Americans have civilized and more barbarian than they." -C. J. BENDER

Brooklyn Grocers Plan to Eat Way to Wealth
Part of Earnings of Cooperative Store to be Returned to the Consumers.
That it is possible for a group of people to eat their way to wealth is the theory of Cleveland Neville, president of the Fairservice Cooperative Company, Incorporated, a grocery concern which plans to put stores all over Brooklyn.
The corporation, which is now composed of more than 65 Negro grocery men of Brooklyn, with offices at 25 Chaucey Street, is formulating an organization of distributors to operate on the cooperative buying and selling plant.
Mr. Neville declares that one hundred families in any given community spending ten dollars or more a week, will support any grocery store. There are 18,500 Negro families in Brooklyn, spending approximately $20,000 a day for food and other commodities. By his plan the 100 families in the vicinity of the store by buying stock will be part owners of their neighborhood store and their own distributors.
The stores, which are members of the corporation, will be able to buy their produce in larger quantities, thereby obtaining cheaper rates and permitting a great reduction to their patrons. Dividends will be declared at regular intervals whereby the regular patrons of the store will get back part of the money that they spend for their own food. In this manner, he claims that the patrons of the store will be able to buy the money they would naturally spend for their own subsistence will be saving money that would otherwise go to the other.

The stores, which are members of the corporation, will be able to buy their produce in larger quantities, thereby obtaining cheaper rates and permitting a great reduction to their patrons. Dividends will be declared and the store will pay part of the patrons of the store will get back part of the money that they spend for their own food. In this manner, he claims that the patrons of the store by spending the same amount that they would naturally spend for their own subsistence will be saving money who would otherwise go to the other race.
NEW YORK—Twenty-four colored Gold Star Mothers to date have written to the N.A.A.C.P. in response to its request, enclosing signed petitions to President Hoover as commander-in-chief of the armies of the United States, asking that he order the embalming of the corps on the pilgrimage of mothers to graves on European battlefields, and failing that, declining to go on a趴 crow pilgrimage. The N.A.A.C.P. as also protested to President Hoover the War Department's decision that there be separate but equal accommodations for colored mothers, urging him to overrule this disposition of the matter. In the letter to President Hoover the N.A.A.C.P. says in part: "It was our hope that it would not be necessary for us to take up this matter with you; but repeated protest, from white and colored members of mankind of great prominence, including Governors and members of Congress, and from organizations among them the N.A.A.C.P. have resulted in unequivocal statements that the War Department will segregate Negro Gold Star Mothers.

THANK FRIENDS, REMEMBER YOUR FOES, N.A.A.C.P,
Walter White Says Support Senators who Voted "No" on Parker
FUNDS NEEDED
Lack of $1,500 Nearly
NEW YORK. — "Thank your friends by supporting them at the polls and remember your enemies" is the advice given by the N.A.A.C.P. to colored voters in connection with the defeat of Judge John J. Parker, for associate justice of the United States Supreme Court in the Senate, last week.
Walter White, executive secretary, issued a statement for the organization in which he said:
"We are elated and grateful to colored editors, and to all those organizations and persons who so tirelessly and faithfully uphold our hands throughout this gruelling contest. But the victory, decisive thought it is, leaves much to be done. In reality this victory is only a beginning. First of all, colored citizens have before them the task of thankfulness and denling with their opponents.
"Negroes have already shown Southern demagogues with national ambitions that it no longer pays to bait the Negro for political purposes. They have also shown the nation that the Negro can carry on a successful, sustained, uncompromising and unstoppable effort in the highest ethical plane, in defense of citizenship and human rights.
"It remains to demonstrate that colored people have a political memory." In this connection, and for the information of all colored editors and their readers the N.A.A.C.P. declared the following lists should be kept in sight and in mind until after the next elections:
Approved List
Of those senators who voted for Parker, the following are to stand for re-election during the coming fall and should be uncompromisingly opposed by all colored voters: Phipps of Colorado; Hastings of Delaware; Gilles of Louisiana; Ransdall of Louisiana; Gould of Maine; Galine; Millet of Massachusetts; Harrison, of Mississippi; Keyes of New Hampshire; Baird of New Jersey; Simmons of New Jersey; McCulley of Pennsylvania; Motcail of Rhode Island; Blease, of South Cimarra; Glass, of Virginia; Goff, of We Virginia; and Sullivan, of Wyoming.
The terms of the other senators who support Parker as follows, and colored voters should carefully bear in mind the names and the dates: Bingham of Connecticut, 1933; Dale, of Vermont, 1933; Pess, of Ohio, 1935; Goldbush of Vermont, 1935; Vermont, 1935; Hale, of Maine, 1935; Hatfield, of West Va, 1935; Herbert, of Rhode Island, 1935; Joues, of Washington, 1933; Kean, of New Jersey, 1935; Moser, of Missouri, 1935; Reed, of Pennsylvania, 1935; Stridge, of California, 1933.
Smoot, of Utah. 1933; Thomas, John, of Idaho. 1933; Townsend, of Delaware. 1933; Walton, of Wisconsin. 1935; Waterson, of Colorado. 1935; Watson, of Indiana. 1933; Broussard, of Louisiana. 1933; Owerman, of North Carolina. 1934; Patterson, of Virginia. 1935; Wanson, of Virginia. 1935; Norbeck, of South Dakota. 1933; Moses, of New Hampshire. 1933; Fletcher, of Florida. 1933; Utah, of Illinois, of S.C. 1933. "Any Negro is a traitor to the race who votes for any senator who voted for Parker" declared Mr. White. Let us not forget the role of the senator in the action at the next election and at the elections which follow it, depend the effectiveness of the American Negro's future emancipation as an American citizen."
Spent $2,000
The N.A.A.C.P. estimates that the cost of the Parker fight, which was carried on day and night, will be upwards of $2,000. Telegraph expenses of $20,311 and long distance telephone calls approximated $100 during that month.
"We have spent more money than we had in this fight," declared Mr. White, whoring up the papers of the members upon the bills. It was not a time when we could stop to figure the cost of telephone or telegraph. Even as it was, we were gravely hampered by lack of funds, say it deliberately, the cause of the attack, and the fact, sacrificed for want of a few dollars.
"If we had had the patry sum of $1,500 to spend for advertising at a time when the motives of the N.A.A.C.P. were being publics in the newspaper. In the Parker fight were being distorted. we could have made a tremendous impression upon the American public through the newspapers. But we did not have the $1,500. To we could and would, sorely as such action was needed.
"Remember, the N.A.A.C.P., whose staff worked day and night, and who won what is perhaps the major political victory ever won by American Negroes, did not have the necessary $1,500 to advertise, and the association is now in debt because of its expenditures during the summer."

The special feature of the program was the first act of Upton Sinclair's play, "The Kid in the Box," which Enzo Basshe who produced it at the New Playwrights Theatre two seasons ago. This stirring play was designed for better conditions, was one of the most successful presentations at the New Playwrights Theatre for this meeting in behalf of workers who are now behind prison bars, facing a sentence of death because of their struggle in being held in the South. The program included solo dancing by the programmers, young Negro丹ancer; a skit by Otto Slowow and Frank Hanley, and cartoons drawn on the stage by the artists of the John Reed Club.

"Sacrifice Dollars
Becton Resorts to Opera to Save Harlem "Dicties"
The Elder's Plea for "Sacrifice Dollars" Brings Last Cent for Rent and Grocery Bills. Heaven will Repay Threefold in Fourteen Days.
NEW YORK. — The soul-stirring hymns of bondage, which have been associated with revivals since the days of slavery, may be all right for corraling the ordinary sinner, but it takes high class music to call the "dicties" of Harlem to repentance, according to Elder G. W. Becton, who announced the staging of an "Operatic Gospel Feast" for the benefit of the "Four Hundred" before he completes his eight weeks' evangelical engagement at Salem M.E. Church.
and erect, aided by the heart-tugging staircase of music, began his plaintive call for aid.
"Come, My Lambs." he pleaded.
"The money you give is not for me. It goes for the unspent, the great amount that is saving the message of the Kingdom into hearts that knew not the glory of the Lord. It pays for the burning of the midnight fire, that is saving the generalation of all church, calling sinners from the paths of inquity and starting them on the road to Paradise, yanking their troubled minds from the nightly evil path, revealing to them the peace and joy to be found in the Lord. Jesus Christ. Come, My Lambs. Come!
They came.
Brooklyn Y.W.C.A.
At this festival of music and scriptures, the Elder's augmented group of talented musicians will play only se-
less from ground opera.
Elder Becton is rejoicing in the fact that during his stay at Salem, he has started five hundred souls heavenbound, but lamenteds the fact that Harlem is not yet full of its people, and still work to be done so much work, in fact, that he will not vacate New York at all, but will carry his Satan-chasing campaign into another church which has already made a bid for his services.
"Sacrifice Dollars"
While the hosts of heaven are five hundred souls to the good by virtue of his drive for righteousness, the elder, himself, is slightly in a hole, a survey of his books revealed.
The evangelist announced that he was $525 called for "sacrifice dollars" to help the cause of the Lord along.
"By sacrifice dollar. I mean the one you have been laying aside for the rent, or the grocer. The very first day you have the need, and within fourteen days it will come back to you three-fold."
Many responded to the urgent call for cash, but others held tight to what they had, refusing to take a chance on heaven's paying dividends so promptly. Others reasoned that investing one dollar to make two in fourteen days was not sufficient inducement to gamble.

The eminent success of the Marc Connelly piece "Pastures" is probably influenced that urged Shubert interests to respond to such an elaborate program, by which nearly a hundred colored performers are benefited with lucrative employment. The Immense Thespian Agency cast the piece.
Helen Menken (white) late of the "Infinite Sheebah" Broadway play, considered the world's greatest dramatic star, portrays the leading role, assisted by a score of other whites, in a production predicted to elucide all such dramas ever attempted, and is scheduled to open at the Maxine Elliot Theatre, 39th and Broadway, New York, the week of May 16, with presentations in Atlantic City and Brooklyn.
Piece Is Praised
Many New York critics journeyed to the Nummer city for the opening, and returned with glowing accounts of its success. It went over great, and the cast displayed unique, and extraordinary talent. Several theatrical shows the saw the play that the colored artists were of exceptional brilliance.
The Cast
The cast includes Sam Davis, Trikle Smith, Joe Byrd, Mike Jackson, Union Jeffers, Mike McCarthy, Michael McCarthy, R. H. Thomas, Doreby Murray, Plioe Miller, Frank Lloyd, Hesketh Jenkins, Josephine Heathman, Katherine Hightower, Watson, Gesae Zickel, Meggie Catter, Cole Grant, Charles Highower, Abe Brooks, Bertha Brown, Stamper, Joseph Hazel, J. F. Staples, Cora Parks, Marjorie Woods.
houses, motion picture interviews are reported, many considering new colored feature productions because of their great box-office appeal in all Metropolitan districts.
More Minstrels
Kilpatrick's "Minstrels" closed at the Royale Theatre after a week's engagement, and Ted Riely's "Hash," a male and female minstrel aggregation, scheduled to open at Wallack's and the President Theatre, respectively, has disappointed a handful of waiting customers on each night by 10:30 p.m. In Dallas, Texas, is organizing a minstrel troupe. He may have a trifle more success than the others, because he has been under orders in the old time way.

One of the dark mysteries of New York is why people live there at all. They curse the day they first set foot in Harlem, but will listen to no proposition that would drag them away. The Hatlemite without a dime looks with pity upon the inhabitant of any other city, town, or hamlet regardless of what his circumstances may be. The Hatlemite loves and hates Harlem to the same degree.
Harlemians
NEW YORK.—Some of the best bargains in silk underwear can be obtained in hairdressing parlors. Hecoods merchants, knowing that he is frequent the street, pass out quickly, getting rid of expensive underthings for a song. Women know that these goods are sometimes of very high quality, with which they could not hope to buy or ordinarily, and they seize the opportunity.

Silverware, watches, and jewelry can be picked up in a similar manne. in barber shops and lunch rooms, the innocent looking patron beside you, after sounding you out, offer you almost any sort of value at a greatly reduced price. **Prett' girls, who once aspired to the stage, have forsaken it for the Harlem lunch counters since the advent of the vitaphone has greatly enhanced the footlights. A smile and a pleasant line bring more tips from the pocket of the male patrons than the lass could hone to earn doing the bottom under the calcium lights.
Different lunch rooms have their following. Johnnie Jackson has for years catered to the better class of diners, who enjoy the sandwich. The Sandwich Shoppe on the same thoroughfare is frequented by those who make a three-decker sandwich and a cup of coffee serve as a meal. Joe's Place in the town where you can still get a hearty meal—from soup to nuts—for the small sum of forty cents.

That in New York one Cuban seldom trusts another, and his suspicions are generally well founded.
**Believe it or not.**
A sad-eyed young man had fredrened his night club on Lenox Avenue many evenings, drinking alone, apparently trying to drown some deep sorrow which was gnawing at his heart, and left him with his own devices, knowing that such cases are best left alone.
About the fifth night, someone appeared to conversation. With a quivering voice, the young man said: "I don't care what becomes of me now. I'm just clowning, wasting my life away. I am not the one I loved more than anyone else in the world."
Another drink gulped recklessly and the rambled on. "I had a pretty apartment, everything that one could wish for. I worked hard and did everything to make a person happy, but, we began to quarrel and come between us. Finally parted, and I have been trying to forget."
"Don't take it so hard, old man," said the listener sympathetically, "you can't put any dependence in women nowadays anyway." "Women!" snapped the young man, burying it in his arms and handing over a photograph, upon which he had planted a kiss and sobbed bitterly.
He had been a racketeer. All over Harlem he had been known as one of the best dressed numbers runners in the game. Women. He had a hail fellow, well met. Among all of the night clubs his bank roll, which never seemed to be exhausted, gave him open seas to the most exclusive club. He met a girl and, hardened creeper though he was, thought by his friends to be moll-proof, married hard. Not wanting his wife to be an emotional happiness, he deserted the numbers game and took a job as an elevator boy. This did not do so well. He lost all his another ward. He was diminishing as lapses between jobs became taxing. He held off. The wife, upon whom he had lavished expensive presents during his courtship, found her golden eggs
One day he was stopped by a policeman and was surprised to know that he was going to shoot his wife. His denials that he did not possess a resolver were of no avail. When officer carrier was in the house, he found a weapon in the bottom of his trunk. In his cell in Sing Sing, he is still wondering how the whom he and he went straight, doesn't visit him.

**COME down, Charist.**
And carry me home.
Home from nortering.
Home from barbeting.
Home from Jim Crow.
And home from the best Of white intentions.
I'm tired.
Weary from drums
My ears from my ears.
Banging in m. head.
Drumming in my heart.
Drums—white drums
Bursting fear
Into my brain.
Sweating from my body.
Drums, drums driving.
Driving to madness.
Madness in the forest.
Forest gnawed
With white prejudices.
Forest filled
With shrieking dogs
Foaming with fury.
Seeking for my throat
And yet—
How can
It be different
A Nigger's throat
A Nigger's throat
Dogs, rope, fire—
All, all love
A Nigger's throat.
And even
Old Man Jehavah Elohim.
Oh his razor
Sparkling with blood
Is now
At my throat.
Even God
Loves a Nigger's throat.
All, all—
Tis all finished.
This living
This resting.
This real and unreal.
Both so alike
That one
May take the place
With another
And still be
The truthful one.
The play is finished.
The play is finished.
Ring down
With a curtain.
That silly divider
Of face and heart.
Emperor Jones.
The Nigger
Gone mad
White drums.
Has finished
His last song.
His last spiritual.
No more shall drums
Beat in the morning
With bloody sweat
No more shall drums
Bang down the night
With a fear
Worse than a fear
Of death and diving.
Bang down damming drums.
Emperor.
Your Emperor Jones
Is finished.
Take, you white drums,
My throat
Once burdened
With fire of fantasies
Murdered in my mind's womb.
Here, you white drums
Is my throat
Filled with burning dreams,
Plead yourselves.
You white drums,
With my songs
Searing my throat.
Destroyed before the singing.
O World of White Drums—
I. Emperor Jones,
Bequeath to you
The throat of a Nigger.
Cut open
And see
What made it sing,
What magic
Made it speak,
What noise
Made it act.
Come down, Chariot,
Come down,
Swell like and proud,
Come down bursting
With jazz and singing,
With hot spirits
And dancing,
Come down deeked
In purple and splendor.
Fit and blazing
For an Emperor's dying.
Come down,
Sweet Charlet.
Of Niggers dying.
To carry home.
Your poor Emperor Jones.

NEW YORK, (ANP)—With fame come trouble, says "Jazz-zip's" Richardson, who sky-rocked to stardom under the auspices of the Inman Theater. After co-incubates with his clever performances, Richardson, deserted Immerman for the Publix Theaters Corporation, which his pay was set at $800 per week for a fifteen week appearance beginning in a New England house. Immerman claimed Richardson contract to him at $400 per week and that the star had not fulfilled his part of the document.

Osborne Dixon Finds Favor with Comedy Relief
(Staff Correspondence)
NEW YORK—More laurels, to an already good store, were added by the Morgan College Players of Baltimore, when they appeared in three one-act plays at the Alhambra Theatre, here Thursday at midnight.
On two previous occasions the Maryland collegians had appeared here, both times with highly credible performances, but their appearance marked a new high level in amateur dramatics. The players directed by Professor Ralph Edmond, scored a nineteen triumph in their interpretations of "The Broken Bando," Willis Richardson; "Byrnest Culbertson, white; and "The House of Sham," another play by Mr. Richardson.
Audience Only Fair
While the audience did not fill the Alhambra, it was a highly enthusiastic one, made up of leaders and lovers of drama and the patrons' list included Carl Van Vachen. Mary White Ovington, Mrs. James Weldon son, Sonson, Elisabeth, and a host of others interested in the drama movement. Ernest Gulbertson, author of "Rackey" occupied one of the boxes with a party

"The Broken Banjo" was the first of the plays to be presented, having its basis in life in the 18th century, slitless husband, who thinks more of sitting idly, plunking on his banjo, than of providing the necessities of life. He killed an old man, and believes that the crime is a secret.
Sam, Matt's wife's brother, and Adam, a friend of the latter, are heartily disliked by him, the his wife knowles. He is tired of their house and his house and eating his food. One day while Matt is out Sam and Adam break his banjo in a friendly scuffle. When he out, Matt threatens to both of them, when Sam tells him that he knows who killed the old man some

But the arrival of a policeman with Sam and Adam prepares to enter Chester Tallafero as Matt Turner and Agnes Watson as Emma were particularly effective in the reintroduction that they brought to their parts in clothing and scenery were very appropriate.

NEW YORK. — "Being the Lord isn't no bed of roses," is one of the lines spoken by Richard B. Harrison, the 66-year-old star of "The Green Pastures," the sensational play at the Mansfield Theatre, and that comment might well apply off-stage, when one considers the difficulty of the role.
Just how it feels to play the part of the Lord was told to the AFRO-AMERICAN by the man, who in the twilight of his life for the first time is hearing the plaudits of Broadway ring in his ears.
But don't believe that Mr. Harrison feels that he has attained the zenith of his histrionic career for his greatest astonishment one that is still upperhand with him, is to give his own interpretation of Shylock in "The Merchant of Venice."
Has Been "Good" in Life
Mr. Harrison was selected for the part of the Lord because it was not only felt that he possessed the dramatic ability, but because these moral know him better. He knew more than he led make him equally well- fitted to enact the divine role.
"I appear in sixteen different scenes," Mr. Harrison informed, "and in each one I find it necessary to make a separate and distinct preparation, that I may interpret the properly, play the part most must include in the emotional mood that the author would portray, and that is quite a difficult thing to do."
Draws Crowd
On the streets and in the subway Mr. Harrison always draws a crowd, but his sudden popularity finds him still wearing the same size shirt from his school across from his home on W. 139th street have come to know him almost as one of their own number. Interviews, photographers, artists, autograph seekers, and the plain curious, keep him alive, but he has very little time to himself.
Is Kent Very Busy
One day he posed for ten photographers and gave interviews to more than a dozen newspapermen. Stories of acting have been carried not only in the dailies, but in such publications as Vogue, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, and the Times, and more are to follow with stories.
At the Lawrence River's offices there is a big scrap book, more than eight inches thick, telling of "The Green Pastures," and all giving much space to the great stories. At Boston, London, Ontario, the son of refugee slaves who fled North to seek freedom in Canada, Mr. Harrison got his first taste of the city, and where he took up the study of drama. Whether he bell-hopped, or served as a porter, or undertook another of the few jobs open to him, he always seemed enough money to continue his studies.
Was Dunbar's Friend
In 1891 he became a pioneer in dramatic work touring the South, ap-
pearing in churches and schools, racing later into Mexico and Canada. He acquired an impressive repertoire of numbers, his readings including such works as "The Devil and Veil," and "Macheth." Always numbers were the poems of Paul Laurence Dunbar, who was Harris's warm friend and who admired his interrelations.
Fond of teaching, Mr. Harrison gave a summer course at A. and T. College in New York, such an impression that he organized and headed their dramatic department, serving for seven consecutive years. "It is with greatest regret," he said feeling, "that I must give my work up this summer, as my contract calls for the run of the show."
Appeared in Harlem
While he has been much of a success as a dramatic reader. Mr. Harrison always had stage ambitions, and he was a great fan of the Lafayette Theatre, some ago, in Frank Wilson's melodrama "Pa Wilson's Gal." In the churches and schools of Harlem he is well known. He was one of the lecture staff of the Greater New York Federation of Churches. Mr. Harrison's family—wife, children and grandchild—is now living in Chicago, Mrs. Harrison having the function of the Negro women in the South to graduate from a musical college.
Hesitated About Part
"Some day," he said thoughtfully, "I may get to play my life's ambition, Shylock in "The Merchant, of Venice." Whether he does or not, Mr. Harrison has furnished definite proof of his ability in interpreting a character that even he hesitated to take. He has taken his success modestly—in much of the manner of the character which he portrays.
Pagcant in New York
The New Negro Art Theatre will be presented in an ultra production, "De Promis 'Lan'" by the National Negro Pageant Association of Chicago, at Carnegie Hall, New York, Tuesday, May 27. Hampshire Winfield will head a great cast of 15 Negro actors, dancers, singers and musicians and will be supported by such well known artists as Minnie Brown, Brenda Whitney, trude Cannon and Brid Whitney, Alen Allen and Olivia Moore. Charles Elgar has been secured to direct: the music. Winfield will stage and costume the elaborate production. This performer will present the Nursery and the Jun-Art Scholarship Fund.

"When Truth Gets a Hearing" Roundly Applauded at Bethel Church
SINGING IS MOVING
Native African Girl among Those in Cast
"When Truth Gets A Hearing," spectacular pageant of Negro history, presented by students of the National Training School for Women and Girls, Inc., thrilled a large and appreciative audience with its beauty of production and challenging appeal for justice for the Negro, at the Bethel A.M.E. Church, here, Monday evening.
The play, written and directed by Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president of the National Training School, located at Lincoln Heights, Washington, D. C., is a spectacular unfolding of Negro history from the birth of civilization to the present day, and gave the accomplishments of the Negro as no pageant or drama offered to Baltimoreans recently has portrayed. Tuesday Miss Burroughs said she was pleased with the enthusiasm and support of Baltimoreans at her first appearance here.
The drama, in brief, protrayed a private representative of the Negro race on trial before the bar of Justice, who was accused of sedition as bitter foes presenting a case against her. An array of witnesses for the defense, among whom were History, Truth, Fairplay, Womanhood, Public Opinion, Christianity, Blackness, Justice and Prophecy, distributed evidence which won the case, for the race.
Costumes Beautiful
Appropriate costumes from the purple and gold robes of Justice to the bandannaed slave, the clear, full voices and a quiet dignity of hearing of the young ladies of the cast, did much to overcome the lack of a proper stage setting to effectively produce the colorful pageant.
Spirituals Heard
The pageant was beautifully carried forward by the melody of Negro spirituals, the most outstanding of which were "Go Down Moses," "Witness For Mv Lord," and "Climbing Jacob's Ladder." Several clever poenphrases, including the charming Black Joe" added to the attractiveness of the musical offerings Miss L. D. Hopkins served as pianist.
Misa Rilev Stars
Miss Eula, Belle Riley, possessor of a most thrillingly clear mezzo-soprano voice, drew encore upon encore from the enthusiastic audience in her lead of the spirituals. Miss Riley hails from Georgia, and puts the true southern interpretation into her renditions of these folk songs. She was supported by a chorus of well trained voices. Miss Riley also portrayed a double speaking role in the pageant.
Miss Wood in Role
Miss M. V. Wood, niece of F. M. Wood, director of schools of this city, was a member of the cast, who together with Miss Ethel Miller of New York, Miss Alma Roberts of Georgia, Miss Gerlute Hewitt of Georgia, Paulette Penhale of Helen King, both of Pennsylvania took outstanding roles.

Harlem Episode
A certain Broadway actress was noted for her dislike and general intolerance of colored folk— quite natural for her, however, since the lady "halled" from Georgia. Several months later of her hometown Greenwich Village friends wanted her to come to Harlem. She flatly refused. Sepia-tinted humans did not interest her; she had known them well, and remarkably stupid; she knew them "like a book," she said. In the end, however, she came. In order to please her friends.
Like the majority of ofay pleasure-seekers in the uptown metropolis, they nightclubbed, frequent coffee pots, and followed religiously the usual novices scheduled.
Anna, she call her, met a man—a Harlem gambler and petty racketeer. She fell for him. No one could understand it. They were as different as caviar and plum, but she didn't care. He had found that she hadn't found in her men.
"Even though he is colored," she explained, "there's something about him that's 'different.'" He treated her as the average coffee-complexioned male treats a southern woman who woman fails for him; made her life miserable; humiliated in order to the world know that he was "boss." Her friends tried reasoning with her, but it was time wasted.
Three months ago she broke her contract with a show that is now on the road because she couldn't bear the ita of leaving. Since that time she been living in Harlem (anupporting him). Her savings, incidentally, are getting quite low.
She has sacrificed a lot for him; he, in turn, has beaten her consistently, as a definite proof of his affection. A few nights ago, public humiliated and asked in an all night gin and in her unconscious, the floor. When she came to she began to cry. He had all the money out of her workbook.
A young Park Avenue sight-seer, unschooled in the ways of Harlem, begged her not to cry any more and offered her a generous check if she would leave Harlem. She looked him with a tolerant (young child) expression and winked away. "Where did my daddy go?" she asked one of the waiters. He repeated the names of a well known speakeasy. "Thank!" she said, "Td better know where there found some of those blues-singing females put bad patrons in his head."

GILPIN, STAGE STAR, TAKES HIS LAST BOW
Man Who Made "Emperor Jones" Famous, Dies in New Jersey Home
WAS FOREMOST ACTOR
Survived by Wife, Sister and One Son
ELKRIDGE PARK, N.J.—Charles S. Gilpin, foremost dramatic actor, who died last Tuesday night following a lengthy illness, was buried from the home of his sister, Mrs. Lella C. Brown, here last week.
On June 29 last, after playing his favorite role at Woodstock, New York.
he retired, broken in health. Three years ago, Gilpin bought the farm, where he died, at Eldridge Park for his sister, Mrs. Lella C. Brown, then of Philadelphia. Mrs. Brown, in quest of seclusion and quiet, selected the site. When his health failed, he went there to live, to pass his last days puttering about the small farm. "The Great Gilpin" was born in Richmond, Va. on November 20, 1878, the son of
Peter and Caroline G. Gilpin. At the age of 14, following a primary education in the Catholic schools of Richmond, and then in Philadelphia, he began his lifework. While still at school, his fondness for the stage left him to enlist with the Canadian tubilee Singers. In orphanage his way, he worked as a janitored for a time, but later left to devote all his time with the minstrels.
On Stage 30 Years
Thirty years of acting brought Gilpin before admiring millions of playgoers. From reinstrints to vaudeville, from vaudeville to stock plays, to skits and sketches, his patt. led until like a sunburst he leaped into world renown in the glorious silimax of his career, as "Emperor Jones." Critics
New Era Hailed with "Hallelujah" and "Hearts in Dixie" Short-lived because of White Prejudices against Racial Advancement.
NEW YORK. — When the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures Corporation announced their plans for the making of an all-Negro cast talking picture, the surprised and gratified Negro public began to anticipate great triumphs for the dark-skinned artists on the audible screen.
ped approximately fifty per cent, and so on the sixth production, when the company was compelled to make a settlement with the author in order to prevent further losses.
South Wants Negro Down
"It is a deplorable state of affairs, but the south is the south and will tolerate no representation of the Negro as independent well-dressed handling money, in a position of dignity, in any case above the depths of ignorance, subjugation, and poverty which they consider his place.
But it appears they hailed the advent of a new era far too soon, for with the exception of a few minor shorts, no move is being contemplated by the big moving picture concerns toward the making of feature pictures starring Negroes.
Picture Official Explains
Some have attributed this condition to a prejudiced attitude on the part of motion picture officials. When approached on the question last week an executive of one of the leading moving picture concerns gave the following explanation:
"It is thoughtless as well as unfair to brand the moving picture companies as prejudiced because they are turning out no more Negro pictures. We are in the game to make money, not to make friends or enemies. We produce whatever it pays to produce, regardless of color or creed of the subjects. In order to realize adequate profit on a production distribution must be nation-wide. It does not suffice that the East, West and North accept Negro pictures, and the South refuses to accept pictures wherein Negroes are starred.
"Need I cite 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' and the more recent 'Hailujaan'? The story of the picture has no bearing on the situation . . . even the Octavus Roy Cohen pictures are rejected by the south. I understand that twelve Cohen stories were contracted for by a well known company. The first 'short' went over fairly well. On the second one the profits drop-
everywhere lauded him as the outstanding Negro actor of all tmes. Out Talkie Change
With the advent of the talking pictures Gilpin was given another opportunity to display his talent. During the years that followed his success in "Emperor Jones" he appeared in numerous benefit performance and did short sketches and songs for corporate companies.
Surviving him are his wife, Mrs. Alma Gilpin, herself well known on the stage as Alma Bynum; his son Paul, and his sster, Mrs. Lila C.

South Wants Negro Down
South Wales Negro Boys.
"It is a deplorable state of affair, and the south and will tolerate no representation of the Negro as independent, well-dressed, handling money, in a position of dignity . . . in any case above the depths of ignorance, subjugation, and oppression, and they hold his place, and where they have apparently determined to keep him."
"Uncle Tom" Flops
Recalling the presentation of "Ucle Tom's Cabin" in New York, the writer was privileged to be present at the "cutting" and "scoring" of the original film. Several scenes that might have been objected to by Negroes were promptly cut. The piemade a long, successful run on Broadway. Later, when the picture synchronized, it was noted, much sugar coating, had been done, amin to please the southern states, for conciliatory scenes and passages had been inserted, for example, General Robert E. Lee was flashed on the screen and words condemning slavery accredited to him. Apropos of the beastly Lerge, titles were to the effect that the title, the exception and the general type were wasted. But all these apologies were wasted for Dixie turned thumbs down on Universal's gigantic and costly venture.
Cap Use Shorts Only
In the past few months moving picture studios are vicing with each other in the making of shorts wherein in the singing of Negroes contributes the unerring and universal appeal together with his demonic cast portraying the popular, but there is indication that Negroes will be lost in any, but the usual roles.
This attitude of the South toward the Negro artist is not just now having the opportunity to express itself it has long been known and accordingly adhered to that no longer likeness the likeness the artist will enjoy a sale in the South, regardless of the popularity of the music or the artist.
Bojangles for "Follies"
Bill (Bojangles) Robinson, premier tap dance, who has just finished the talkie, "Dixiana," out on the Pacific Coast, has been signed by Florenza Ziegfield for the coming edition of the "Follies," rehearsals for which are scheduled to begin soon. Bill's dance for the "Follies" are to be new, he reports, is likely that his stair dance unit will be included in the theatre are considering what has happened to the rehearsal planned with Bill and Adelaide Hall as co-stars, and whether or not he (Bill) will be co-starred in the "Follies" with Clara Bow, whose name has been mentioned frequently.

By now Rod's head was growing clearer. In a lightning-like instant he realized that unless he regained his feet by the time the referee counted ten he would be counted out—would lose the fight without ever having struck a blow! The roar of the crowd now was like the voice of a blood-thirsty mob. As his eyes began focusing more properly, Lafarge laughed neutral corner, smiling down at someone at the rimside, confident that he had scored a knockout over the Cowboy fighter. "—Nine," tolled the officials voice. Rod's eyes were growing strengthened to his rescue. Before the referee could utter the fatal "ten," the bronzed youth scrambled quickly, if ungrfully, to his seat, where he swayed his neck. Labors were not on his quarry, but Rod was complete out. A warning shot caused him to look into the ring, where his victim unpredictably unstyled.
Lalzo was a seasoned veteran of the Lalzo. Instead of dashing madly over the canvas at his adversary, and launching a wild hail of fire, he stood to beat it down to the floor, he diced quickly, he feinted with his hand toward Rod's stomach, then learned a flashing powerful blow for theouth's jaw. Rod saw the blow coming, and stained back just enough to make it miss. As Lalzo in, in Rod clenched and ran, as his strength and muscles returned. The multitude of voices which filled the arena with deafening noise yelled testy a knockout—for blood, Rod glanced appealingly at the referee who stained it between the two men, parting them. Then Lalzo dashed again at Rod. however, he found not a fighter on the verge of a knockout, but an elephant, swiftly moving to the floor, although he did not counter with blows, bled them with uncanny
BOD'S COME BACK
As it became apparent that Rod had made what seemed to be an almost miraculous recovery from what appeared to be a certain illness, the crowd came down to watch the show with only occasional shouts from those who were disappointed that the proceedings had not ended when Rod was on the canvas. Once when they clenched corner, the voices continued to see tears, which remained and pale, while years later, roiled down King's checks, allough at the moment he was smiling. He seemed to be crying and laughing at the same time. As his glue met Rod's he made a motion of applause with his hands, and nodded encouragingly. When the bell sounded and the was sprang apart, the crowd cried, their voice, hoarse, came to Rod.
"Yeah," Rod growled, as he drew deep humpels of the smoky air into his lungs.
The bell for the second round clamped and dipped off his stool and met his opponent in the middle of the ring. Feinting rapidly, he hindered two solid punches to Latzo's body, then danced out of range.
ADVICE FROM KELLY
The crowd roared its approval. Latzo lurked in an eruity, ripping a vicious torment at Rod's chin. Stepping back, he wristled his whistle harmlessly by, then stumped in with a left hook to his adversary's stomach, which caused him to flinch.
Latzo, however, was not easily hit. Rod not give an inch when Rod landed but started shooting body punches as fast as he could swing his arms. Again Rod danced away.
Throughout the round Latzo punged aggressively after his opponent, as a reward many hard smashes to the body. When the clenched again, slamming the hilt of the second round, the crowd loudly shouted its approval of Rod. "You can take that, guy now."

Kelly whispered, as he tilted a water bottle for Rod to rinse his mouth. "Try his jaw with that right cross of the nose," Rod nodded. "I've been laving of his jaw just so I could get over that one punch." he panted. Kling stood at the side of the rink where he was. The tears were gone from his face now, and there was a smile of happiness in his eyes. He squeezed Rod's leg affectionately. "Knew you could lick this guy Rod," he said. "I knew it."
Roddy' he shouted. "I knew." But Latzo was not licked by far; five came unpairs his bicep, his wrist, his winding. Rod met him in the center of the ring, and to the vociferous delight of the crowd, swapped punch for punch with him. When they broke away there was puzzled silence, and the boxing cautiously. It was evident that Rod had hurt him more than he had hurt Rod.
LATZO KAYOED
Rod lei; with a snake-like right to the face, then flashed a resounding jett. jook to his adversary's body, Latz bent double for a second, then backed away barely in time to move right upperhead whistle Rod launched. By now Rod's opponent was patiently slowing up. Rod danced lightly in and out, ostentatiously, cresting to be trying to land a punch in Latz's solar-plexus with dazzling speed at Latz's solar-plexus. Involuntarily the other fighter dropped both arms in an effort to evade the dangerous blow. When he thus relaxed his guard, Rod sent one to Latz's solar-plexus as Latz staggered away, leaped after him and sent another crushing blow to his head.
Latzo's eyes glazed. His body sagged in the middle, then his knees crumpled. He tumbled to the floor on his face, where he lay in, obviously knocked out. The spectacles out wild. Seat cushions, his newspapers came flying through the air as the referee began the unnecessary count. When it was finished. Kelly and Kling were in the ring dancing. Kling was munication. Rod had to pull from them in order to drag Latzo, who was still unconscious, to his corner.
For a few minutes such pandemonium reigned that police interference was required to restore crowd to the hall. Rod had dripped Rod to his dressing room where he uromptly

shut and locked the door.
"Boy, what a sock, what a sock!" he exulted, as he did a little jig step around the room meanwhile lurping in the room and at anything else he could find.
Kelly made Rod lie on the rubbing table while he went over him with swift hands.
"OK Kid," he looked up with a happy smile. "You heckled," he circulated.
A FEDERAL AGENT
There was a peremptory knock at the door. Kling did not want to be disturbed.
"Whaddya want?" he shouted.
"Open the door!" I must see the door returned.
Unwillingly Kling opened the door. The Chief of the Federal agents strode in. Seeing Rod, he went to the bathroom. "Great. Right. Kid." he congratulated. "Glad you won. You are all set!" he looked around, the room carefully. "Sure." Rod told him. "Soon as I get my clothes on."
"What's all this?" Kling demanded suspiciously. "If you think you can get my away from me from you, I will forget it. I got a contract on him and—"
"Aw, wait a second, brother," the Federal agent administered as he would to display his gold government badge.
"Is the Cowboy in trouble?" Kling demander quickly, protectingly. "Not a bit of it." the agent said. "We've just got a date together tonight—that's all."

Kelly insisted on accompanying Rod to the Swamp Hut. News of who Rod was, and of his sensational victory had preceded him. Men covered around his table anxious to meet him. None of the Federal agents whom Rod recognized were in sight, but he supposed that they were scattered across the room. Rod patted his breast, where reposed unseen the gold prohibition badge given him by the Wolf. Wolf had not appealed yet so Rod immediately ordered a selfie himself and Kelly. ROD'S SHARE OF THE RECEPTIONS
The place was filled with revelers, and for a while the attentions showered on Rod by many of his suddenly acquired admirers made him forget his purpose in coming to the
Dancers filled the polished square dancing space. Rod remembered the tie and with wonder reflected on the things which had happened to him since then. In his pocket reposed a neat package of bills representing his twenty-six thousand dollars. He had requested his part in cash, but when Kling had given him the money he had counted it with unbelief and the amount of the little fightie I did?" he questioned his manager.
Kling smiled broadly. "Sure, Kling, and I've got my cut out of it all." That twenty-six grand you made tonight is not a drop in the bucket to what you'll make when you get to be champion.

"Would you be a good cook I'll cook up a good match for you—a tune-up maybe for the champ, since you're bound to get the next fight with him after the way you played." Rod was remembering this, and trying to decide what he would do, when Kelli called his attention back to his screen. "Who's Rod?" he exclaimed. "Who's that tough looking bird givin' us the once-over?"
**ROD BLUFFS THE WOLF**
Rod looked up and into the leering eyes of who stood, immaculately carved in an expensive tuxedo, staring at him with a puzzled air.
"I did give you credit for having some sense," he growled at. Red, "but you either got a lot of gifts, or I told you I was coming, didn't I?" Ror asked with a disarming smile. "And now I was asking liquor to ciscribe my victory with. I suppose you've got it in. this

"That's like with me, and I've got
the money to nay for it." he cried.
"Check." snapped Wolf. as he strode away.
As he passed a nearby table, a man
grew frightful, cranked unsteady
and stumbled along behind him. Two
other men who also seemed under
the influence of liquor up from it
passed away, the from toward where Rod sak.
KELLY LEARNS THE GAME
"What the hell's the matter with you, Rod?" Kelly asked. "What's the idea in waving your thumb. And furthermore, I want to know what's the idea of your ordering liquor. I didn't have any idea that you were a drinker. With the start you can inquire in front of fights. Why take a chance on that kind of a break by suing a lot of liquor in a joint like this?"
Rod launched "You just don't understand the world. I'm here for a purpose tonight, beyond fun." He leaned closer to Kelly and whispered, "I'm acting as a Government agent tonight, and when this fellow comes with my liquor I'm going to arrest him."
"But whats it all about?" Kelly persisted.
"Sh-h-h." Rod hissed, as Wolf peared openly, which he bored by the neck as he strode arrogantly through the crowd.
"All right big boy, here's your liquor. I till take the dough. Let's go."
Rod peeled off one of the bills from his wad of money, and handed pocket with a sullied smile. Rod stood up and faced him. He threw back his coat and displayed the gold badge which nestled on his breast.
"That little bottle of whiskey, Mr. Wolf," he said trumply, "will probably cost you a stretch in the penitentiary." Wolf started back in amazement. Then he laughed contemptuously. "What't hell you tryin' to pull off, you big bick? Who gave you that pretty badge to play the government." Rod snapped back at him, "and you're under arrest, believe it or not."
THE PLACE PICKETED
Wolf exhled in *staccato harsh laughter*, "Lissen to the little fella rave," he chothed, "He's been smokin' hot, he's had a piny dream." He shoved his hand into his pocket, suggestively, "Lissen, you dumb chuck, you crossed my path once and got away with it. Now you feel enough to hit him, but you over see? I'm gonna burn you down right where you stand." The hand in his pocket moved, showing the outline of gun pointing directly at the gun. He jumped up from se table. Wolf shifted the cun on to Kelly, then suddenly his expression changed his hand crest slowly out of his pocket as a voice communicated, "Reach the sky buddy." This is a height in various parts of the place men stood up and with drawn guns commanded the patrons's seats and man's outteries. The floor toward Red's table now, on a signal from the man who had trailed Wolf when he got the liquor rushed through swinging doors into another
Wolf stood like a trapped animal, his eyes carting from side to side, seeking escape. The Wolverine agent behind him, the Wolverine pocket机, and the wicked look, too, detaily searched him for other weapons. Finding none, he drew a bright pair of handcuffs from his pocket and snapped them onto his wrist. "that hold you for a hot minute," he observed, drily.
Then to Rod "We'll just hold everything like it is until my men come out of this bird's bar. We've come to have more evidence than this
quart of liquor, and I think we'll find it there."
FIND DOPE PEDDLERS. TOO
FIND DOLE PEDDLEES. TOO
At that moment the three men emerged from the swinging doors, drugging a scared, pasty faced youth behind them. One of them carried a bulky package. The other two held an assortment of liquors. The man with the package rushed up excitedly.
"Made a much bigger catch than we figured on." he cried. "This bird's not only a bootleather—he's a dope peddler, too, and probably the head of the dope ring."
Wolf crined visibly. The man holding him captive prodded him with his gun. "Let's get these boots under guard in the car. men," he said. "then we'll come back and do some searching around and see what we find."
"Pretty good job. young feller," a voice at Rod's elbow said. It was the chief of the dry agents. "The finding that dope in this bird's joint will get him at least a ten-year job. That suits you. doesn't it?"
"You bet!" Rod said heartily, "Anvodyo'd shed sell narcotics ounce to ne in fall for life."
He turned to Kelly. "Hang around here until I get back, will vow Kelly to ask about the drugs up to phone. I'll be right back."
He dashed through the crowd and up to the phone booths that stood by the dressing rooms upstairs. Entering one of them he called Lola's number. Lola herself answered.
"This is Rod. I'm calling you to tell you that I won my fight tonight," she said. "The news that should mess you up, you hope."
THE DOUBLE SET-BACK
Lvla's voice faint and a little unnatural, came back to him over the fire. "Rod," she said with a warm face. "I should with a lot of warmth which he instantly noticed. 'but I can't get very excited over it. When I all you my news, guess you not the other.'" "What are you talking about?" Rod barred at her.
"I'm going to be married tomorrow," the girl said at twelve o'clock
at any time.
He also left for a replay which did not come then she slowly replaced the receiver.
Whatever Rod might have said was never uttered. for at that moment a steel pair of arms held him helpless and a heavy towrear; over his face. He felt himself being roundly dragged out of the booth.

Death-Defying Experiences of a Negro Globe-Trotter
"Jimmie" Streeter, conquers wolves, loses sense of direction, and escapes from Mexican bandits in attempt to win first prize in globe encircling contest.
By JOHN P. MOORE
BATTLING his way across the continent on the first lap of an attempt to circle the globe on foot. James (Jimmie) Streeter, a former Virginian, has accumulated a wealth of thrilling tales of adventure, in mountain and vale, desert and forest; of hunger and lonesomeness, wild beasts and bandits and storms — two years and twenty-three days of endless hardship that can only be fully appreciated by talking to the man himself.
Streeter, with six other youths, joined the hiking tour which is being the National Memorial University, of Dayton, Ohio, and backed by the wealth of an anonymous person.
Equipped with rifles, heavy boots large shoulder pads and water canteens, the camp is the northern part of Alaska, then separated.
Negro Member Alone
With his faithful dog, Jupiter, Streeter struck out upon the snow-bound trails of Alaska. It was a long walk, but he got used to it—this endle—trampling, this building at little fires in the snow, this tramping through the wilderness rife in the seaside area, and this game until this eating in solitary loneliness, then packing and "creeping" along through the deep snows again, the dense flakes so blinding at times that he could see only a few feet ahead. For what seemed to be an eternity—a matter of many months—Streeter arrived at the Yukon River, crossed it, then kept "creeping" south through the wilderness until he was a hundred miles away from civiliza-
His First Great Thrill
It was in this forest that Streeter id experienced the first of his many thrills. He, with Jupiter on his back, brushing his head, brushing his way through the giant trees when suddenly his dog grew of stiff—stood stock still; then he broke loose in a spasm of barking. As same time a serene unarmy unit transforms its arms regionally immediately forward into a veritable inferno. Streeter's reaction was to rush forward and secure his dog by the lest he tested himself in the twist and the unstrapped his gun and wailed quietly.
Wolves—angry wolves. That was the answer. A dozen or so of their black forms came into view just as he leveled his sword and threw himself behind as many trees. A man and a dog against a pack of hungry wolves. Picture yourself cornered in some deserted alley by a score of mad dogs and you will appreciate what Streeter was up to
Kills Wolves
They kept closing in, sneaking, one by one.
Pip. pip. pip! The lone hiker added and pulled the trigger—pip. pip. pip! The foremost of the animals staggered and slumped into a yep. And he took to take the ones to the rear mistreated then, when the brave one too, yelped and staggered to the mow with a hole between his eyes, they retreated: slowly at first, ten pairs of black eyes mirroring a mixture of contempt and awe. Almost human, and awe gone! He was a praying man thanked his God. His dog went over and stuffed at the two fast cooling bodies then struck out across the snow bears his master. barking frantically
Unfriendly Indians
A few days later Streeter came across fresh, very fresh tracks; a few minutes later a great grizzly bear lay at his feet his head riddled with
On. on. ever moving across the continent, vast. cold and mountainous; ever gradually emerging from inroder regions, creeping through many states, sleeping and eating in the queenest forests above the Klondikes and the White mountains in deserted boxes, railroad stations, then after many weary months of "creeping", in haystacks cotton house houses; caves; coming upon man-made lands of Indians; coming upon unfriendly cannons awhile then striking out away through vast areas of sparsely settled territory with his dog.
Lost in Mountains
In Oregon, for instance, the hiker and his dog tramped for twenty-three days without seeing a single doing.
Finally New Mexico. It was in this state that Streeter went through perilous conditions, finally became aware that he was lost. The mountains over which he and his dog were passing seemed to have an unseen sense of danger, so were, well, were.
direbuffs* started an apparently futile attempt to regain his barkings; eight days and nights of almess wanderling many thousand feet above sea level, not a human being or wild goat. just an endless vision of bare rocky, snow-covered mountain, biting cold and an ever-feeling in the cold that hitt-bulge—nunor mirrored by soulful cues toward his master.
gallant. He was ever faithful, this dog. At a time when his master was almost exhausted by hunger and fatigue Jupiter successfully fought off a wolf, thus saving cold and hunger. But, while cold and hunger and a band of Indian hunters found him among the rocks and carried his unconscious form to their cave—Streeter and they were back to health. And in the war path again. As strong as ever; as courageous as ever. Many more weeks of tramping, then.
"Hands up!"
Captured by Mexican Bandits Streeter, he surprises, whirled and gasped. His dog growled deeply. Twenty-five Mexicans, armed to the teeth, glared at them. Keeping him covered with guns, they went into a huddy room. Soon a circle of slapped around in wild circle and relieved Streeter of his gun, searched him, then

marched him off to a secluded little
shake, where they bound him to a
shakeshift bench.
Difficulties again! He was aware
that they were bandits—cattle thieves,
probably a superstitious lot, as well!

YOUR "TS" TELL
Every letter that you make, whether with pencil or pen and ink, tells its own story about you.
It may be a very surprising story or something very different from what your friend thinks in regard to you, but no matter what it is, there is a story that is written into every letter that you make with pen or pencil.
No single one of these letters, however, have as much of importance to tell as the little letter "t." This single letter is simply full of little personal facts that it can talk about you, according to the disposition or natural characteristics that you possess.

For instance, the man who is very enthusiastic will make a different "t" from the one who is slow and careful. The woman who is sharply sarcastic and who save mean and cutting things to other people will make a "t" that is crossed entirely different from the one who is constantly putting off doing the things that she knows should be done at once.
The man who has very positive ideas on a subject will make a different "t" from the one who is always being led around or influenced by his friends.
You can find some of the things that your own "k" tell, if you will study the little chart that is given here this week.
Number one, shows the "t" with the crossbar just a little bit behind the main stem of the letter. If your writing shows that more than half of these cross bars are back of the letter as this one is, you can know that you do not do things promptly. You put off doing the things that should be done, and tell the story on yourself by the way you fail to cross your "ts".
If you are a very enthusiastic sort of person, show a great interest in a subject and even tell others about it. you are almost certain to cross your "ts" with a long sweeping stroke, such as we have here. If "he stroke is a thick and heavy one as well as long and sweeping, then you not only are enthusiastic, but also have the will to make your enthusiasm become true.

She Lost 19 Pounds of Fat In 27 Days
During October a woman in Montant wrote — "My first bottle of Kruschen Salts lasted almost 4 weeks and during that time I lost 19 pounds of fat—Kruschen is all you claim for it—I feel better than I have for years."
Here's the recipe that banishes that and brings into blossom all the natural attractiveness that every woman possesses.
Every morning take one half tea spoonful of Kruschen Salts in a glass of hot water before breakfast.
Be sure and do this every morning for "It's the little daily dose that takes off the fat."—Don't miss a morning. The Kruschen habit means that every particle of poisonous waste matter and harmful acids and gases are expelled from the system.
At the same time the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels are toned up and the pure fresh blood-containing Nature's six life-giving salts is carried to every organ, gland, lung and fibre of the body and this is followed by "that Kruschen feeling" of energy and activity that is reflected in bright eyes clear skin, cheerful vivacity
If you want to lose fat with speed get an 85c bottle of Krusen Salts from any live druggist anywhere in America with the distinct understanding that you must be satisfied with results or money back.

VA. CHASES WHITE COP AND COLORED WIFE FROM STATE
Couple Jailed 6 Months Ago for Marrying in New York
"GOD ERRED"
Cop Should Have Been Black, Says Court
HAMPTON, Va. — The Virginia white man's racial integrity law went into action here, when Judge C. Vernon Spratley, failing to find sufficient evidence to keep them behind prison bars, ordered Emil E. Umlauf, white, former chief of Phoebus police, and his colored wife, Mrs. Mrs. Annie Whitehead Umlauf, to get out of the court's jurisdiction before 9 o'clock of the day of the trial, last week.
They had been under arrest since last November.
In a vehement lecture, Judge Spratley characterized the marriage of the white man and Negro woman as a "low and debased state of mind that made them unfit to associate with decent people."
Married in New York
Mr. and Mrs. Umlauf were married in New York on Armistice Day last year. Efforts were made to persuade Umlauf to leave his wife but he refused to do this and stated that "the state may have the right to say we cannot get married here, but we will test its right to arrest or eject us after we are properly married elsewhere." They both were former residents of Phoebus, where Umlauf had served in the police force. The incidents which led to the marriage and consequent arrest of the pair, started when Mrs. Umlauf rented a house next door to that occupied by his mother.
Mrs. Umlauf testified that she was summoned to answer a charge on sault on the mother's behalf but account of illness in the family. Umlauf also went and when the pair returned a man couple they were on a man's charge of law, the Virginia racial integrity law. When arraigned in the December and February terms of court, the indictments were quashed, but later
Evidence Insufficient
When tried on this last indictment last week Judge Shrader ruled that there was not a warrant for the arrest, but had left the state with the intention of being married or that they had returned with them, of remaining with them, and co-habiting as a man and wife.
They were therefore dismissed, but with the order that they leave town
"God Erred"
In his rebuke of the couple the judge declared that God had made a mistake in the man's Umlauf, in "it was a mistake of the white man," in "it was a mistake of nature," he said, "to endow you with the greater advantage and outlook that it gives

DETROIT, (Special)—Young Jack Thompson, Oakland, California, rises sensation, by defeating Jack Kyle, white, in a 11-5 HI score at the Olympics.
C. today shows the crown of a weightlifting champion of the world, an honor denied a dark-skined boxer since Joe Walcott coped the title, 29 years ago.
Over the entire route of 15 rounds, Thompson showed himself the master, taking ten rounds, with only three going to Fields, and the other two even. A relentless two-fisted attack upon Fields breeks. Brack's hand was held aloft by Referee McClelland, the crowd of 15,000 roared its approval.
Received only $2500
By an unusual agreement, Thompson received only $2500 as his pursuer and $7500 as his reward. Had Thompson lost the fight, he would have received $10,000. As Thompson's hand was raised in victory. Fields, in his corner, was seen to bury his hand in his hands and be baby with the skill of a lion, and with what, ring experts say, is a craftiness and boxing skill that approximated his own abilities. Thompson tore into his opponent from the opening gong, and it was plain that he was out to average previous defeat at the hands of the white
In Danger Once
In only one round—the second—was Thompson ever in danger. In the first round, he rights and leftofs to his head and one of these blows stung Young Jack so that his knees crumpled. But his champion can, wading into Fields with a vengeance. In the thirteenth and fourteenth rounds he beaten frequently, and in the final round he staged a rally, but it was too late, for after the tenth round seemed to be little doubt of the outcome.
Jack Has Fought 200 Fights
The new champion is 25 years old and has participated in more than 100 competitions of his eyes was badly bloodshot, and he claims that Fields stuck his finger in the discolored optic for r or five times. Fields had an ugly inch-long nose, the cheek bone under his left eye. A stubborn nasal hemorrhage that refused to yield to first aid treatment was a problem Friday night in a local hospital: "When I awoke" Thompson is quoted as saying, "it seemed as if there were fifty people in the room pointing at me the new champion. It made me feel great."
McLarnin Balks
Jimmy McLarnin, who had expected to be matched with Fields in a title joust in New York, finds himself in a difficult situation, the factory, and his manager. Pop Foster, is balking at an attempt to match the two. Thompson has already signed with the club here for a title joust. He also finds that a suitable opponent is found.

HearMeTalkin'toYa
WHEN Young Jack Thompson silenced Jackie Fields, the Hebrew, in Detroit last Friday night he demonstrated that old saying about "it's hard to keep a good man down." Previous defeats had not built up any inferiority complex with the battling young California welterweight, for he had mastered his lesson.
learned his lesson.
Those nearest to Thompson declare that Jack was in even better condition than he was when he flattened Baltimore's great Joe Dundee several blows ago. The love of the bright lights and a weakness for the ladies are common to have been extremely disastrous to Thompson in one of the hours of his previous fights. It was because of this lesson that the Pacific Coast boy went through a rigid course of training that he might be physically fit to meet the man who had proven his
master.
Thompson trained zealously. Fields, they say, was a little overconfident. Be that as it may, he took one of the worst punishment from Thompson that he had received in his hectic life: meteoric career. Thompson closed his eyes. Bright lights and his ears to the siren song of comely damsels long enough to win the title in the wetter weight division, the first Negro to hold the crown
for twenty-nine years.
It possibly surprises me, many to know that he received only $2,500 and his share of the gate, while Fields, received his guarantee of $37,500. After Thompson the gate finished paying his training expenses he had the handsome sum of $14.85 left in his jeans. It was a part of the man himself, however, for he agreed, had he lost to receive $10.250 if he was to take only $2,500 for his training expenses.
000, but if he won to the he is willing to meet Fields in a return battle any time that the white boy wants it, but he'll ask $4,000 for match. "I'll be glad to box Fields again for Young Jack is quoted as saying, 'pour la main over the 15-round route.'" He will play with a championship involved."
No more 10-rounders for 10 years.
That is another lesson that the new champion learned. He is a long distance fighter, not getting going until after four or five chucklers have passed. Had he fought only ten rounds he might have
1057.
There is yet another lesson for Young Thompson to learn, and if he'll take the feeble counsel of this column he'll take a good rest before climbing on the squared circle again. Let him take a lesson from some of his Nordic contemporaries and coast along a white. Everybody's doin' it, and it won't hurt him in the least. It will be enough to hold the title anyhow.
hard enough to hold out in California he is Cecil Lewis Thompson, but to any fan who tell you the truth (and fields will verify this) he's one helvai fighter.
COME out of that convulsion, Archibald, and stop your leaving. I certainly can't see why you should find so much comedy in the announcement that Primo Cararner, the Ambiling Alp, has been signed to do a clog with George Godfrey at the Philies' ballyd in the Quaker City, come June 23. That large Gawge will win, seems to be a fergonese conclusion, and there are many fans who are still blinking their eyes and pinching themselves to ascertain whether they are dreaming or not. In the mind of T. Von Ziekursch, who edits the sports pages of the Philadelphia News, there arises a query. Mr. Von Ziekursch con-
lesses:
Somewhere along the line I must have missed a lot of information. Apparently Prime Carnera has been barred in more states than I have learned about as a result of his recent difficulties in California. Otherwise, it is difficult to understand why he came back to Pennsylvania to meet large Gawge Godfrey here. Pitbull park on June 23.

Under those circumstances they may be the Primo and his board of strategy have decided to take one chance on a real fight before they are thrown back on their beautiful cauliflowers.
collectively by him. Primo has done much to elevate the art of stumblebum in various parts of this land. He has proved conclusively not only that the hand is quicker than the eye by leaving a lot of boxing commissions wondering at the devastating power of his punches which they couldn't see land, but also that the American public doesn't care whether it is a fight or not, so long as it is a spectacle.
Aside from that, he has demonstrated that the man who works for a living is the world's greatest sucker and that it is possible to go a long way along any road before stubbing your toes if you are right careful.
Now that the stumblebum acts have been about washed up because California insisted on holding an investigation, the Primo cannot simply be turned loose to graze in the nearest pasture by his board of strategy. They have to feed him, and probably will be continuing feed him until the public tires of him and he can be shipped back to his old job of dusting off the lifting locomotives or whatever it was he did.
Aps' or hiring?
Consequently it is within the realm of the possible that his board of strategy has decided to make one grand effort to collect on him by staking him in here to be slaughtered by the large Mistugh Googey at the Phil's park on this bumble June evening.
From a financial standpoint it is bound to be a clean-up.
That would pack them in a place twice the size of the Phil's.

Black Sox Owner Claims Rumor About Seats "For Whites Only" Wrong
MAY SIT ANYWHERE
Locals to Play Brooklyn Royals Here Sunday
"There will be no segregation at Maryland Park as long as I have anything to do with it," George Rossiter, owner of the Black Sox baseball team, told the AFRO-AMERICAN, Tuesday, when questioned concerning the statement in a local white daily that 1,000 seats have been reserved for "the use of whites alone."
"That story was all wrong," Rossiter declared emphatically. "One man's money is as good as another's and fans of both races may sit where they like, just as they are being done. It would be wish for me to make any segregation attempt.
"The one thousand seats spoken of are the 1,000 new reserved seats that have been put in on the first base line, and anyone who cares to may, them. There was no segregation at last Sunday, and there won't be."
The Black Sox slaughtered the Pennsylvania Red Caps Sunday, 7-0 and 15 to 1 scores. In the second game Sox hit a home run with a bat.

The Phantoms took their second game in the Inter-urban Twilight Stadium in Philadelphia when they defeated the West Wood Professionals by the final score of 7-4 Bob Underhill, star pitcher for the Auto Car Giants last season, the mound for the Phantoms and we never had it at the Professionals.

LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Pa.-Supreme efforts by Buss Sterling and George (Hoss) Spaulding coming in conjunction with sterling performances by their teammates, enabled the Morgan College track team to capture the fifth annual Lincoln University track and field meet, here, Saturday. The surplus was nestling itself in the Pennsylvania foothills and the moon was easily discernible in a blue-gray sky as Spaulding, all-around ace for the Baltimoreans, lifted his lean body 11 feet and one-half inch in the air to win the pole vault to give Morgan a victory in the event, the final score being Morgan 51, Lincoln 49 2-3. Duel Between Morgan-Lincoln Early in the meet, it was clearly seen that the result would rest between Morgan and the athlete, the pole vault, the feature on the 18-event program, the score read, Lincoln, 47; Morgan, 46. George Spaulding, who had heard the plaudits of the throng at the
Penn Reliaws, had already scored 22 points. He was tired and showed it plainly as the call came for the pole vault. He ope the ran to the pit and hurled his form over the bar. Up and up it it went until it was at

Spaulding Is Iron Man
One by one the other competitors had fallen by the wayside, and at this height, Spaulding was the one to clear the bar. He met the meet, for two Lincoln men, Lee and Maupin, had with Robbins of Hampton for second place, the splitting of points giving Lincoln 2-2-3 and Hampton 1-2. Five points went to Morgan, enough to win the meet by the provicial hair.
Sterling Shines Also
Russ Sterling shared the spotlight with Spaulding, winning all of the sprints, 100, 250, 440 and 540 yards, and 40 of the 248 bears' points, nine and two-thirds more than were scored by the entire Hampton team.

Only two teams, Hampton and Lincoln, were the first runner gained a lead of several yards, which Hull, second runner for the Seasiders, closed up on his lap, Gray. Hampton's third runner, John, was second, and he pulled up to the three-quarter post, and "Rock" Early, the Blue Weyer SurLay Keeps Hue Combat Helps It Grow SUR-LAY, a greeksen liquid hair creasing which liquids hair because the drops will control stubborn hair gloves that grow.

New Welterweight Champion Never had Poorb of Superiority over White Boy, Despite Previous Losses.
DETRIOT—Despite denial from Ray Alvis, manager of Young Jack Thompson, recently crowned welterweight champion, Dale Bumman manager of the Olympia Sporting Club here, announced Wednesday that Thompson will defend his title against Young Corbett, III, at Navin Field here, August 27.
CHICAGO, (ANP.) — "I have never had the slightest doubt in the world about my superiority to Jackie Fields as a fighter," declared Young Jack Thompson, the California welter, Sunday, after coming to Chicago from Detroit where he had just whipped Fields to win the world's championship welterweight title.
COUNTY MEETS
CAMP PAROLE, Md. — Stanton High School athletes won the Anne Arundel county track and field meet, sponsored by the Playground Athletic League, here Friday, by piling up a total of 70 points.
Lothia School with 45 points was second and the Stanton Elementary School runners and jumpers placed third with 38 points. A number of new county records were made but no new state marks were established.
In the 100-pound class, Charles Fergerson of Eastport, set a record of 7-2-5 seconds for the 60-yard dash, while Charles Davage, representing Stanton, ran the 70-yard dash in 8-4-5 seconds for a new mark in the 120-pound class.
The new champion did not make the statement boastfully. Friends who listened to him knew from remarks which he had made before other fights, that Thompson has always felt that the breaks have been against him in his other fights with Fields. Those breaks are things that it isn't easy for a fighter to talk about.
Fields whipped Thompson out in California, but the world at large will never know why from the lips of Thompson. Something happened in the first round out then, but it would do for a champion to complain to him. He must just go on and fight. Something happened in the first round in the Chicago fight with Fields and still Thompson had to remain silent and has done so until this day.
Believed In Self
But he had a conviction that if he just kept on after Fields, he would some day be on to all the stuff that could be pulled, and on that day he would whip him. His victory Friday night justified his confidence in himself.
Thus, in his own mind, he is not the pugilistic enigma the writer has tried to make out of him. The ring which he could attribute to his lack of boxing skill or physical stamina. He has therefore felt that some day the break would be with him.
Fields Beaten Badly
Fields was decisively whipped Friday night. In his pre-battle statement, the white champion had declared that Thompson didn't speed, and that he was going to show off his skills to finish him off early. Thompson had stated that Fields would burn himself out, and he would whip him in the late rounds. Fields carried out his promise and had the better of the team from that point first five rounds from that point. Seldom is almost completely out of it. Seldom has a champion been beaten worse than he was. Ringside writers gave Thompson ten rounds, Fields three, and declared two even. **White Boy** is Through. The new champion plans to be a real fighter. He knows the ranks of the wetters and the players filled with good players. He says that any of the white boys can have their chance, McLarnin, Fields, Young Corbett, or any of the rest. All he asks is a reasonable period between fights. He promised Fields return bout before fight.
However, Fields was so soundly beaten that he may not wish another battle. After Friday night's fight, Fields broke down in his room and cried because he lost and admitted that he had lost to a better
mat.
"I'll never be champion again," he complained.
Thompson in Sporty Attire
Except for a slight cut over the eye, Thompson appeared to be in splendid condition. He appeared on a boulevard smartly attired in a gray spring ensemble and was ready and eager to chat with his friends for a fortune.
While taking to one group, he saw his father. Scipio Thompson, approaching. He left the crowd and he bent the chief source of help in his career. Friday night the elder Thompson was in Young Jack's corner, and Jack was in the crowd, tribute his father's forty-seventh birthday which occurred on the same day.

The Bowling Center Stars will bowl the Hochschild - Kohn Company, white team, a return three-game match at the Bowling Center, Penn State at 8 p.m. In a previous match the Center Stars defeated the white team.

The smiling heavyweight from Leiperville, Pa., who is the leading Negro challenger for the title, said that he never felt better in his life. "I have been training hard," Godfrey said, "and I will be in the best of condition on Friday night. This Rozier is a tough fellow."
Regarding the coming match with Carnera, Big George said: "Just how my manager landed the bout, I don't know. No one was more surprised than I was." When he signed the AFRO visitors' register, Godfrey said, "Be sure to put down that I was born in Mobile, Alabama."
MARSHALL, Texas.—The Bishop Bears won a listless and erratic ball game for the Henderson All-Stars by Anderson, Texas, on Bison field by a 6-3 score. The Bears failed to display the bats that swept them through three conference victories in their recent road trip through south Texas; yet they were unable to win the game though the infield was sadly lacking in speed and precision.

CHANGE IS SURPRISE
Succeeds Byarm, Recently Fired from N.C. School
BLUEFIELD, W.Va—Harry R. Jefferson, who for the past five years has directed the athletic destinies at Bluedefield Institute, Bluedefield, West Virginia, has resigned his position at the mountaineer institution to take up similar work at the Agricultural and Technical College of North Carolina at Greensboro.
He takes the place of Coach Byarm, who after serving A. and B. with the mountain救 his dismissal notice last week following the strike of students at the Greensboro school.

Miller High School and since he took over athletics at the little West Va. high school, they have become one of the outstanding competitors for athletic honors in the country. For two years the Big Blues, as the Bluefield team are known, held the top rung of the football ladder when they were recognized as action teamsters. In the five years at Bluefield, Jefferson's teams have lost six football games, tied four and won a team of thirty contests, playing many of the games that could be found. Against Wilberforce, Bluefield has won one, lost one and tied two. Against West Va. State, the tail tip that Bluefield has played every year since 1925, Bluefield has won two and lost three.
Howard Never Beat Blues
Howard has never won a game from Bluefield, having lost two and tied C.I.A.A. champions, A. and T. in 1927 and Virginia State in 1929. Bluefield won the championship in Georgia Union, Knoxville, Morehouse and Morristown. With Virginia Seminary, an old rival, Bluefield has won four games and lost one in the course of five years. The following o'standing players have flourished in Bluefield: players at Tulsa and Cunningham, tackles; Drew and Jeffries, ends: Thompson, center; Cain, Wiggins, Graves, Buford and Ray, backs, all who have won nation-a recognition on all-American selection. Bluefield also holds a high position in basketball circles, having had a strong team for the past six years.
Has Fine Record
Jefferson is a graduate of Ohio University where he played football for all Ohio honors at both guard and center. He also played football at West Virginia State in 1952 and Ohio in 1922. He has coached two years at Clarksville and one year at Wilberforce as well. He played in the eight years of his activities.
Jefferson has several hobbies that are the characters of all his football teams. He permits no arguing with him, or off the field from his men and no Bluefield player has ever banished from a game for unsportsmanlike conduct. This, Jeff says, is the thing he has done in his record at Bluefield Institute.
No Successor Named
At present there is no evidence as to who will take over the work at Bluefield beginning this fall.

Hampton Wins First Game in Seven Tries
Seasiders Rout St. Paul, 6-2, as Henry Hurls in Style
HAMPTON INSTITUTE. — Hampton won her first victory Saturday in seven starts as she shrouded St. Paul, 6-2, on Arsenal's goal-scoring fine-line-up. Hampton turned the tables in the fourth and fifth as they mustered five hits, coupled with two basks on balls and an error, to score all of their runs and as $^2$. Paul could only nick Henry to attain the reach of his fiddlers, the kicks were big enough to win the game.
Henry Relires St. Paul Scoreless for 7 Innings
Too much cannot be said of the great work done by Henry in holding St. Paul to three singles and retiring the side scoreless for seven innings, and he was able to win all of the Seasider pitchers this year. He struck out seven and gave no bases on balls. He was ably assisted by his teammates, and he closed down flies and lined drives and add to the ease with which he retired St. Paul.

Hawks Down Crisfield
Brown Panther Spikes Report of White Press that He is Through
TO FIGHT IN SUMMER
Boxer Leaving for Training at Virginia Camp
By BILL GIBSON
(ARO Sports Editor)
NEW YORK CITY-Harry Wills,
the "Brown Panther" of the heavyweight division, is far from being through as a fighter, though the Nordic press may try to lead you to believe otherwise.
"There're several more fights left in the old fram yet," Harry laughingly told the writer, as he stretched his elongated frame into a more comfortably oneself and simultaneously appointed living room of his St. Nicholas Avenue apartment.
Wills 37 Years Old
"I'm only 37, not 45 as some of the white reporters have said I am. And I believe that I can still hold my own against the best of 'em. Paddy Mullins, my manager, is looking around for an opponent for me to fight this summer. I plan to leave here soon for my country place down in Dinkinville county, Virginia, and after a wooded area in New York and put on the finishing touches in the gymnasium."
Harry looks every word of what he said. While he has not fought since December, when he pasted Andrea Castane, the Mexican, he has kept in condition. His wife, with whom you must deal before you can get Harry to do anything legal, has seen to it that he has kept to the right kind of diet and has kept in condition.
Wills just last week ended a 27 day battle that he felt better in by life." he answered when asked how he felt.
Doesn't Blame Dempsey
Recognize the danger of Dempsey
"dodge" that kept Wills from a crack
at the Manassa Mauler, Harry ex-
erased Dempsey of any blame in the
situation. He was not explained,
"and I know that if it had been
left to him, he would have
fought me in a minute. But shew
that he was wrong. He had many times prevent fighters from doing the things that they would really like to do. That's why we never
Has Faith in Self
Wills is not prompted in his contemplated return to the ring by any financial needs as he owns two apartment houses and has a credit history. He is thought in his mind that he will fall in his attempt at a comback, as he has a supreme faith in his ability. In the ring since 1912, he has been a member of the Lanceean, once by Uzudun and once by Sam McVey.
May Turn Farmer
"What will I do after I finally decide to quit the ring? That's a hard question, but maybe I'll turn gentleman farmer and settle down in the country." Harv laughingly informed, as his eyes twinkled merrily. "Not a bad idea, 'eh?'".
To my suggestion that he might open a gvmnasium and train young fighters Wills said: "That might be all right if I opened a gym in Cleveland or Ealtimore or some town like that, but in New York or Chicago, where ex-champions and near ex-champions are falling all over each other, it would not be a naving proposition. Jack Johnson had to close his gym in Chicago, you know."
Has Saved Money
Wills is one of the few boxers who has put his money to good use, and it is common knowledge in Harlem parlance that he has a dark press has been unfair to him in any number of instances, he is not bitter. "Why complain," he asks, "when in all other walks of life the man with a dark skin finds the going hard." The important crop of heavyweights, Wills thinks best of Godfrey, Larry Johnson, he believes. If he turns heavy, will be one of the best fighters ever developed. Wills does not know. Primo Cararner's name has been mentioned, but that is all. It is most certain to be a white foe that Wills will face. It is the mixed bout that draws him. White press notwithstanding, Harry Wills has not yet hung up his boxing gloves, and that's that.

By ALGERON B. JACKSON, M.D.
(The Associated Negro Press)
The protection of swimming pools, according to the United States Public Health Service, of both the indoor and outdoor type against contamination by bachers involves the use of certain methods applicable to all bathing places where the amount of water is limited—first, control of the bather; second, placement and disinfection of the water.
Should you reduce the amount of contamination from bathers, regulations should require that individuals using the pool cleanse themselves as thoroughly as possible with soap and water before entering the bathing place. As a further precaution, every bather should be given a clean inspection before he or she who has contagious disease or infected sore or wound should be permitted to use the pool.
It is believed that infections of the ear and eye occurring among bathers frequently are acquired in swimming pools. If the other infections are attributable to the use of bathing places, some of them may result from the effect of water pressure or the lessening of bodily resistance by exposure to cold water from the spread of infection already present in the individual himself.
Infection
Transfer of infection from one bather to another may also take place . Infection of the feet with ringworm is believed especially likely to spread among bathers, presumably as the result of depositing the causative organism on the floors of bath houses. Infection of an amying infection should be minimized by keeping bath house floors as clean and dry as possible. The use of light canvas slippers in dressing rooms would probably result in marked decrease in the frequency of ringworm of the feet. Carpets or rugs should not be used in bath houses as they are likely to remain damp and thus such as are frequently provided at hotels and bath houses are likely to spread infection had not be allowed.
50 Gallons per Person
To minimize the danger of contamination of swimming pools and small ponds by bathers certain standards of replacement and disfecion of water have been fixed by sanitary authorities. Assuming that the water is pure when it enters the pool, the amount of fresh water required for each bather, without regard to disinfection content, is fifty gallons in other words, where the pool is filled and emptied at intervals, it may be used, after each filling by one bather for each fifty gallons of water in the pool.
Wrong Party
A dear old New England spinster, the embodiment of the timid, and shrinking, passed away at a famous health resort, where she had gone in the last stage of a lingering illness. Her nearest kinsman, a nephew, ordered her beheaded, and she was buried—as it was her last wish—in the quiet little country churchyard. His surprise can be imagined when, on opening the casket, he behead instead of the placid features of his Aunt Hepzibah the majestic form of an army general in full regimentals, whom he remembered chanced to die at the same place and time as his wife, to the general's heirs, explaining the situation, and requesting instructions. They came back as follows: "Give the general quiet funeral. Aunt Hepzibah interred today with
BLACK MAGIC
Native Hypnotists Still Able to Carry on Witchcraft in Africa.
(From the African World)
A remarkable experience of native hypnotism is given by Mr. Robert S. Cinnamond, who is engaged in road construction in Kenya, in a letter home. He says:—
A boy was carried to my tent one day by two others, and the tale I heard him bewitched him and that he was to die the next night at sundown.
I have long since learned to take everything seriously that the boys tell me. So I sent for the woman who was reputed to have done the bewitched thing that nowhere to be placed in a shadow spot near my tent and should the "witch" turn up to bring her at once to me. I examined the fellow, but could find nothing amiss physically, and I found that two years ago he had but it across" this certain lady in a matter of goats and had "done" her to the extent of one kid, and that on meeting her again she had "stolen his soul," and that unless he get it back he would die.
Powerful Man
Dies at Sundown
This man had been a strong and powerful specimen of manhood that same morning, one of my best bios in fact. The following night, just as the sun sank, he died; and still no word of the man he died after this occurrence, one of my kitchen bows came to me in the morning and said that he could not work, as his limbs were no longer capable of obeying him. When I asked him what almed him, I said he that his soul had been taken and that he was at an "Nomo," or dance, at a neighboring manyata (village).
I sent for Andrea, my headman, and told him to go to the manyata near by to take him to the woman named Losani. He brought her up to me and dumped her down, a screaming, cursing heap. I waited until she had calmed down, and then told her to bewitch me. She spent a good hour
The woman asked that she might be allowed to perform the ceremony in the store tent out of sight and hearing of the rest of the boys. In a few minutes after entering the tent (the man carried and the woman walking) they both walked out. It defeats me unless it is some hypnotic influence that some of the natives are able to use.

At Wilberforce "U"
WILBERFORCE, Ohio—The Inter-Collegiate Contracts Committee of Wilberforce University initiative program, has done much in the promotion of better racial relations through meetings and the exchange of lectures by faculty members, with some of Ohio's leaders. Extending its influence beyond class group discussions, the college directed the entire student body of Wilmington College at chapel assembly, Wednesday morning, to present a speech with emphasis on the responsibilities for better racial understanding being largely those of the instructor. Dr. Jones's talk was at the invitation of President B. O. Skinner, and at the invitation of Wilberforce, by President Skinner, has been arranged by President Jones, for the near future. Grade Standinging The commission procedure of Wilberforce University, appointed by President Jones, of the individual students, made its report Tuesday evening at general faculty meeting based on an extended survey of the University of Chicago, for the year 1925-26. Graduation by the committee revealed a grade point average of 3.26 as compared with a 2.98 average for the University of Chicago, for the year 1925-26. The average grade in the department of education, to an average of 2.98 for the University of Chicago, norm

BROCKLYN, N.Y. — Following a strong protest meeting attended by more than 2,000 people, a resolution asking President Hoover to step in where state laws fail to halt lynching, was unanimously adopted by the National Afro Protective League at Holy Trinity Church, Sunday.
The protest meeting which grew out of the recent Texas lynching, was one of the most stirring ever held in the borough of Brooklyn and was called by the Rev. T. S. Harten, pastor of the Holy Trinity Church and president of the National Afro Protective League.
Other speakers included Paul Linger, sister of St. James, Stanley M. Douglas and Mrs. M. C. Lawton, vice chairman of the Kings County Republican organization, president of the Colored Women's State League and president of the City Federation of Women's
Gibbs resolutions sent to President Hoover read in part:
It is our firm conviction, Mr. President, that State Governments and especially those who have the opportunity to demonstrate their ability, if any, to cope with this evil, adequately and effectively.
We are also convinced, Mr. President, that the Constitutional guarantees designing to give to our Colored American citizenry the rights and equal rights under our laws, that we cannot remain a dead letter by reason of the fact that State Governments have proved themselves inadequate to render those guarantees
We believe that mob rule as it effects the O'Loughlin Colored presents a challenge by national executive and legislative action of the most concentrated, powerful and deter-
We call upon you most urgently as the Chief Executive of our chief executive power, and safety, on behalf of millions of our less fortunate colored citizens of the South whose destiny is deeply bound and immediate step toward stamping out this evil through the most effective remedy at your command.
The resolutions are signed by Thomas S. Hainey, Bishop of Holy Trinity Church and president of Afro Protective League, 443 Franklin Avenue, Brooklyn, N.Y. Jeanette A. Knight, secretary; Paul Lincoln Joes, M.D.; Stanley M. Douglass, and Mrs. K. Law, Vice chairman, County Republican organization, president Color-Women's State League, president City Federation Women's Clubs.

"The one thing that is more directly responsible for my wife and myself being able to look back over a period of nearly 31 years of happily married life is that my family and I have co-operated in everything," George L. Pendleton, local attorney, told an AFRO reporter, recently.
"The problems that have confronted my family during our married life have been solved by my wife and myself in such a way that we have no regrets when we look back over the past," continued Mr. Pendleton.
"When there have been differences of opinions about anything between members of the family, we have found the solution to that problem." There has never been a serious difference between any members of the family.
"Of course, we have had our bright days and we have had our gloomy days, but we have been able to come through all of these because we cooperated one with the other and faced every problem with a degree of consideration.
"There are times in married life when the perfect co-operation of the husband and wife are needed to solve the problems confronting them. These periods begin with the birth of children, go through their maturity and time of their maturity.
"While our children were still young, my wife and I co-operated in planning their future, their education and other things pertaining to their welfare. Obstacles came to the entire family might have been hopelessly divided if the husband and wife had not reasoned and co-operated.
"My children are now grown, but they show the same respect for me they were toots. This is due to the proper training they received and they could not have been given such training in a home where the husband has been a happy thirty-one years."
This is the fifth of a series of APRO stories about couples happily married.
There are so many stories of couples parted by divorce with sensational cases in court, that THE AFRO has moved to the court. The matriarchs which have succeeded

Modern Fads Have Changed Domestic Status, Mrs. Davage
Last Ten Years Have Brought New Methods and Experiences,
Says Pioneer Baltimore Woman.
"Get better training."
"Learn some special thing well."
"Keep abreast of the times."
"Be more refined."
The foregoing bits of advice are the exhortations to the present day domestic stressed by Miss Charlotte Davage, 1234 Druid Hill Avenue, one of E.B.Imimore's pioneer citizens, and formerly very active in the city's Y.W. C.A. program.
The life of Miss Davage has been characterized by service. Her large sphere of contact, her years of experience, as well as her reflective age, peculiarly fit her for the role of an adviser.
While physical limitations prevent the elderly woman from formerly, she anxious to point out these difficulties, which are necessary in the daily work.
Afraid of Dirty Hands
"When I was a child," said Miss Davage with mellow voice and sparkling eyes, "my mother's emphatic instruction was, 'Turn your hands to anything that will enable you to make an honest and upright living.' I have followed her teaching all through my life. Now, as I look back, I have no regrets, for my life has not been one of idleness, and I have found pleasure in my work, entering service, the domestic should get all the general training she can and in addition she should learn one thing well."
"The fault that I have noticed with a large number of young persons per capita is that they don't get their hands dirty. They do not seem to realize that work is honorable." To simplify the labor burden, labor unions emphasize the necessity of plumbing the work.
System Needed
"Another great trouble with numerous household help is, they do not regulate their work. There should be just as much system in doing the house work as there is in a first-class business firm.
"If the domestic would take a little time to plan her work, she would find that it would soon become cinaiting. A certain amount of time should be given them for the completion of each task, and the schedule should be followed."
The Old and the New
The present day household employee, particularly the much much different from those of her sister, five, ten or more years ago, contrasted Miss Davage. This has been brought about by the constant change of styles, fads
"The cook of today is different from the old fashioned cook, and the change demands a greater knowledge on the part of the present successful
Diet versus Health
"Many people now worry themselves almost ill by dieting and trying to avoid eating this thing or that. Years ago the cook went about mating the ingredients and tried to have with no thought of calories, vitamins and any other. Eat now, the cook must be careful that she mixes more nor any less than the recipe desistrates.
"Although I can see no general improvement in health, the new cook must necessarily keep abreast of the
Courtesy an Aid
"Being courteous and refined does not cost anything, and it helps one to get and keep the employer's consideration." "Some household workers may have the advantage of others in regard to training and experience, and can display these qualities, which are necessary to the employee's welfare."
Further information may be obtained from the Commission at Washington, D.C., or its representative at the post office or customer in any city.

Crackers Furnish Chuckles for Porters in the North
Southerners Traveling Above the Mason and Dixon Line
Peeved Because there are No Jim Crow Cars.
While colored train porters are made the butt of many jokes of Southerners below the Mason and Dixon Line, the tables are turned when the latter are traveling North for the first time, it was revealed by members of a B.&O. crew, recently.
At Washington the jim crow cars on the various railroads are discontinued, and it is here that many of the traveling crackers furnish many a giggle to the porters. It is a common occurrence to find whites passing back and forth through the cars looking for what they call the "white" coach. They are surprised and denounce in very bitter terms the cocaine of seeing white the colored interface with see a Negro sitting in the car, or occupying a chair in the parlor car or Pullman, is more than they can stand.

Graduate Nurses Install Officers
RICHMOND, Va.-The recently elected officers of the Graduate Nurses organization were inducted into office at the Phyllis Wheatley Branch Y.W.C.A., here, Sunday.
The officers installed were: Mrs Estelly Jackson, R.N., president; Mrs Alase Mabrey, R.N., vice president; Miss Rebecca Burwell, R.N., secretary; Miss B. C. Taylor, R.N., record secretary; Mrs. Mabel Meade, R.N.
One porter tells the story of a Southerner who refused to be seated in a car and stood up all the way from Washington to Philadelphia, rather than sit in a coach with Negroes. Another tells how a traveler demanded that the porter search through the crowded train and find a seat for his wife. A near riot ensued when the husband, upon locating his wife, found her seated beside one of the darkest passengers on the train. "What do you mean by seating my wife beside a nigger?" demanded the husband. The porter, who had purposely selected the seat, protested his innocence, but the passenger who was his wife's seat mate, took offense at the terms that the cracker used, and the train crew was called to deliver the latter from a severe thrashing. A white traveler picked a conversa-

Only one day left that is Mothers' Day. Why not give mother a surprise Annie?

MORE WALTER WHITE
(Continued from page one)
White again took the offensive. He offered to find instances of disfranchisement in North Carolina for Senator Overman, and recalled to Senator Borah a case in which Clarence S. Sawyer said, Since what was being said was recorded stenographically for a printed report, gentlemen of the committee gave up their proposed gallop for the
Back to New York
That over, Mr. White went back to New York. The association's lobby against Judge Parker was carried on strangely enough from the home office. Washington, two ex-North Carolina governors and Judge Parker himself button-holled senators, and, like Amos and Andy, campaigned in person, but it did not go. Hoover Cr to senators. The Hoover Cr to Southern senators. "Are you going to have it said that Negroes dictated a Supreme Court appointment?" was met by the N.A.A.C.P." His appeal to the same Dixie lawmakers: "Are you going to influence the Republican party in North Carolina?"
Only Two Parker Papers
Hoover leaders scoured the country and could find but two out of two hundred Negro weekly papers in favor of Parker. Strangely, both of them are in women. In Richmond, Mrs. Maggie Walker's St. Luke Herald wobbled considerably, and finally came over to the attorney's office edited by Thelma Chiles Parker, congratulated Senator Alen on his pro-Parker stand.
Newspapers in Parker's own state and everywhere else except Virginia crushed against Parker, week after week.
John R. Hawkins
President Hoover treated the men who ran his campaign to shabbily that he got no comfort from them, and no Parker endorsement even from John R. was given to the pamper manager for the colored wing. In fact, John R. was then in the act of calling a wide-spread protest meeting against the Hoover policy of dismissing the police. Mr. Hawkins offered to continue giving his services, free of charge, but the President said "no more money," and turned to Tuskegee with a request that Princeton be a letter of endorsement.
Dr. Moton Makes Good
To his everlasting credit, Dr. Moton made good. The man who faced the Ku Klux Klan in his office and defied them to make good their threat to burn down Tuskegee Institute; the man who who defied the South Africa, while New Yorkers sat in their seats; the man who accepted leadership of the President's educational campaign to Haiti, wired the N.A.A.C.P. "I have not endorsed Judge Parler." He headed the Judge down the White House request.
Leaders Turn Their Backs
Everywhere Mr. Hoover turned, it was the same thing. He had as much chance of securing aid from Perry Howard (Miss.) "Ben Davis (Ga.) 'Bob' Church (Walter Cohen (La.)' Eunice Wilson (D.C.) T. Gillis Nutter (W. Va.); or his brother, Isaac (N.J.) and the average Negro has of voting in North Carolina. They turned their backs and let the President stumble down to an ignominious
DePriest in Senate
Congressman Oscar DePriest (III), who Southern newspapers declared should stand by the President because of the White House tea invitation, went over to the Senate every day and campaigned for votes against Parker. In the last analysis, Mr. Hoover's colored friends had dwindled to two presidential candidates of North Carolina State, and A. T. Atkins, of Winston-Salem (N.C.) Teachers' College. They were joined by a white man, Dr. G. L. Peacock, a colored student of North Carolina University, and all-educational trio, whose position today nobody envies.

In Memoriam
THOMAS-In sad but loving remembrance of our dear father, Perry Lee Thomas, who departed this life three years ago. May 15, 1927.
What would we give to clasp his hand,
His happy face to see;
To hear his voice and see his smile,
What would we teach to us?
The rolling stream of life rolls on,
But still the vacant chair
Recalls the love, the voice, the smile
Of the one who once sat there.
By his daughters, MRS. AMANDA BROWN and LAURA GIBSON, Elliott City, Maryland.

The urge to enter the field of business has always been foremost in my mind. About six years ago I was able to realize this opportunity by entering the service of the North Carolina Life Insurance Company. Here I not only received training, but compensation at the same time. In 1927 I was promoted to assistant manager. The policy of our installation of giving equal opportunity to cover insurance and policyholders alike inspires me to "KEEP ON KEEPING ON."

GHATHAM, N.J.-A signal honour was conferred upon the Rev. R. W. Brooks, pastor of Lincoln Temple Congregational Church of T.C., when he was unanimously elected assistant director and a member of the board of directors of the Atlantic Conference of Congregational Churches, last week.
Congregational
Despite the fact that there is much Southwestern sentiment in this section of the country, the Congregational fellowship continues to pursue its liberal policy of giving credit to whom credit is due. It has not now honored the pastor in the Born Temple, who has his A.B. from Fisk University, in Chicago, but the entire racial group, in that it has demonstrated that color barriers do not obtain in this great church.
Annual Novena

BRYANT DENOUNCES ORGANIC UNION
BRYANT DENOUNCES ORGANIC UNION
Proposed Merger of A.M.E.
and A.M.E. Zion Churches
Flayed by Editor
TWO ROTTEN APPLES
Both Bodies are "Narrow
Jealous and Corrupt"
The proposed organic union between the A.M.E. and A.M.E. Zion churches will find a formidable foe in Dr. Ira T. Bryant, millitor editor of The Allenite, if he puts his views of the proposition before the laymen of the A.M.E. denomination. Dr. Bryant, in stating his views to an AFRO-AMERICAN reporter whileünding the general of Bishop John Hurrell, he expressed his approval by saying that "the union would be a wonderful thing for making vinegar, because it is bringing two rotten apples together." Both denominations, he declared, are jealous, greedy and corrupt, and a combination of the two will only bring double corruption. The whole scheme for the personal aggrandizement of the bishops of both denominations, and the only benefits derived by the laity will be an opportunity to shout and pray together, which may increase money without any increased benefits.
Finances Bad
No effort has been made, he declared, on the part of the two groups to investigate the financial standing of each other, as should be the case in any merger. They have not cared for each other, and of each to see whether the combination will be profitable or not. At the present time, the schools of both denominations are suffering badly from lack of support, and all of the schools of the A.M.E. church are bankrupt, and their discontinuance is merely a matter of time. The A.M.E. church as a body, he declared, has been unable to corral any substantial support from the individual philanthropists and philanthropic foundations. Occasionally, the bishops themselves have obtained support from different groups, and they always been one-man propositions.
The states in which the schools are located have given little or no support to the schools because the schools have contributed in the A.M.E. Church management. Kittrell College, the only institution that was thought to be functioning properly, is in serious straits. The schools in the state of Missouri and Morris Brown are all unable to pay their various faculties, and if economic conditions grow more acute and the support of the lacy is reduced the schools will be forced to their doors.
Zion the Winner
The advantages are all in favor of the A.M.E. Zion connection, he declared, as these bishops and general officers would automatically get a large increase in salary by virtue of the change. At the present time, the A.M.E. Zion connection is unable to support itself, and this increase will naturally be saddled on the laity of the A.M.E. connection.
The plans for the union do not include a reduction of the number of bishops and general officers in the two denominations, but both are to remain intact, which will mean that the overhead will be both doubly expensive and unnecessary for the carrying on of the church. This state of affairs will not only give rise to more internal politics and bring about more jealousy, hatred, graft and corruption, but will add to these other evils that of interdenominational politics if each group angles for advantages.
Gentleman's Agreement
Twenty years ago, he declared, the two groups met in Birmingham, Ala., and formed a gentleman's agreement to allow any more bishops, with the idea of any union in view. This was immediately broken by the A.M.E. denomination the next year, when they elected three bishops, who have been electing them ever since.
If this can be taken as a criterion of the significance placed upon future agreements, there is little hope for many results coming from the union.
Whites Invited thru Samaris of Race Relations
The Rev. Dr. William S. Ravenell, pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church, Boston, delivering an ad in Conference (white: of Boston in Tremont Temple, Monday said: "The white race of America has done much in helping him, but it will be willing to work with the Negro? "Many a colored man today is holding down a mediocre job, not because he is black. Will you, as white Baptist ministers, accept the challenge and lead your people through the Samarita of Race Relations and Fellowship." His subject was "The Challenge of the Disgreeable."
Dr. Ravenell also said:
"The habit of putting off disagreeable duties and of avoiding the difficult problems of practical life is responsible for much needless unhappiness and unrest and is the cause ofance of real Christianity in the world. "Jesus did not seek to avoid disagreeable social and racial problems of his day. We are told that He must go through Samaria: that disagreeable area populated by a people who are defensive and disagreeable to the Jews. "If we are going to be true followers of Him we must go directly through the Samarians of modern Europe, and then disagreeable, ignoring deep-seated prejudices and racial hatred, and caring not for the foolish hatred of society. This Samaria of race relationship is one of the most avoided fields, and which the spirit of Jesus is trying to lead the white man."

Palestine First Belonged to the Africans
Africans were the first owners of Palestine, according to Sir Arthur Keith, writing in the New York Times, who thinks he may have said too much. Keith added that these first Africans only looked like Negroes with black skin and flat noses but they were not because their faces were European. Read Sir Arthur's argument, and discover a probable reason why Jews have dark skins and curly colored hairs. Abraham, Moses knew no color line and didn't argue about social equality. Sir Keith said:
"The early Palestinians had short faces, tall, strong Caucasian contemporaries in France. Their faces were short and their ain't suggestion of African origin.
"The care-dwellers of Palestine practiced extraction of their skin, custom still continued by many Negro tribes of Africa.
"Yet they were some Negroes. The extraction of their skin were European and not Negroid. Nor in shape of skull were they Negroes—only in the conformation."
"No: did there seem to have been... with the succession of cultures in Palestine, any decided change in race. The same small people appear to persist throughout the latter's cave periods. Where the records of Egypt, Mesopotamia and Crete leave off, those of Palestine begin and carry human history into a very remote past."
"In Biological times Palestine was a pain of her mighty neighbors, but these recent researches reveal her, even in Pleistocene times, as the scene of contending northern and southern forms of culture."
Lecturing at the Royal Institution, Professor John Garstang declared that all recent excavations pointed to the same date in the middle of the late bronze age—about 1400 B.C.—as the starting point of the history of the Jews in Palestine.
