(staff Correspondent of The Afro)
RALEIGH, N. C. — More than 100 of the 263 colored voters challenged in the 16th precinct because they registered as Democrats preparatory to voting in the coming Democratic primary election, qualified at the hearing in the Centennial School, Tuesday. The voters, both male and female, were challenged by Bart M. Gatling, white manager of the campaign for Farufield M. Simmons, who is running for re-election to the Senate from North Carolina.
Could Not Be Bluffed
Speculation was rife here Tuesday morning as the officials at both headquarters were certain that the Negro who were present at the briefing of the county, could be intimidated and would not open their appearance.
Yet they were sadly mistaken was evidenced long before the hour set for the hearing as a large crowd of colored citizens, led by the professional men and school teachers, were in the scene when the briefing was established. A makeshift museum of the school with W. H. Sawyer, Ruffin Holdfield and N. G. Coles, all white, presiding as judges, Galling acting as prosecutor, and the crowd of colored citizens represented by Attorneys P. A. Escoule and Roger D. O'Keeffe, all the most militant lawyers in the
Gatling Backs Down
The large and unexpected crowd representing the best citizens of Raleigh immediately warned peace prosecution and defeat, and defeated him. He opened the session by apologizing to the challenged voters.
"The object of this blanket challenge," Nicoero Democrats," he declared, "was not aimed at the type of colored people who responded here this morning.
"We do not challenge the integrity or the right of such men as Dr

Chicago Weekly Wins $35,000 Suit
CHICAGO—(ANP) —The Appellate Court of this district handed down a decision Tuesday in the long drawn out suit of Tony Langton, former dramatic critic and advertising solicitor of the Chicago Defender, appointed prosecution in favor of the Chicago Defender.
The suit involved $35,000. Langton was employed on the paper from 1922 until 1927. Counsel for the paper under a secret and illegal contract put into effect without the knowledge of the publisher.
Missile stated that in the judgment of the court the "contract was made in bad faith and was fraudulent and unconscionable." "Whether the contract as originally

Shaw Head Will Not Resign this Year
RALEIGH, N. C. (Special)—President J. L. Peacox, white, the prexy of Shaw University, around whom a storm has centered for several years, will not resign as was anticipated, but will be the executive head of the institution for at least another year.
The determination of the president to sit tight came as a surprise to both his friends and his opponents as he is said to have definitely promised that he would step down this year.
Four white members of the faculty tendered their resignations to the president and the board of trustees at the close of the term, Monday. They are Dean-Winslow, Miss Cotrell, instructor of religious education; Miss Koehler, instructor of French, who leaves to seek her master's degree in that subject; and Miss Wright, head of the German department.
One of the grievances around which a storm arose was corrected last term when the separate dining rooms for white and colored teachers was abolished and all the faculty ate together.

Chicago Weekly Wins $35,000 Suit
CHICAGO—(ANP.) —The Appellate Court of this district handed down a decision Tuesday in the long drawn battle over the dramatic critic and advertising solicitor of the Chicago Defender, against that publication in favor of the Chicago Defender. In 1922, at 15,000, Langston was employed on the paper from 1922 until 1927. Counsel for the paper contended that Langston operated under a secret and illegal contract without the knowledge of the publisher.
Justice Machett stated that in the judgment of the court the "contract was made in writing and unconscionable." "Whether the contract as originally made," the opinion continued, "was entered into with fraudulent intent and entered into without authority as far as Jones (then general manager) was concerned and against positive interests of the president of the corporation." The contract is said to have given Langston fifty per cent commission on all advertisements the secured. A demand offered to compromise the suit for $5,000.

DePriest, indicated that he would start a fight in their behalf, in an address here, Monday night. I am going to fight for an enforcement law for these amendments," he said, "because it's more important to spend money to see that the right of all men to vote is no longer than to spend $150,000 to equip the right of a man to take a drink.

CHARGES LODGED AGAINST ONE OF SLAVE PROBERS
Faulkner Alleges Barclay is Member of Slave Trading Ring.
FEAR SOLDIERS
Natives Believe Reprisals are Sure to Follow.
(By mail exclusively to the AFRO-
MONROVIA, Liberia, W.A.
A formal protest against the Hon. Arthur Barclay, Liberian member, serving on the commission to investigate slave conditions in the Republic, was one of the first steps taken by Thomas J. R. Faulkner, in presenting his case to that body which began its probe more than a month ago.
Faulkner, whose charges lodged with the United States State Department brought about the investigation, objected to Barclay because, he is by family ties related to the heads of the administration which is under fire.
Represents Syndicate
Besides this family connection, he has often acted in the place of cabinet officials during their absence and would not be disposed to give an unbiased judgment in testimony presented against the administration. It was also called to the attention of the Liberian Commission that Mr. Barclay is the legal representative of the Syndicate Agricola de los Territorios Española del Golfe de Guinea which is a corporation to receive boys for their farms in Fernando Poo for some recruiting agents in Liberia.
It was indicated that evidence given would involve charges against such recruiting methods and that the Liberian member would certainly be inclined to disregard testimony of this nature.
Fear Soldiers
Faulkner also protested against the use of soldiers in guarding any places where hearings are to be held, on the ground that these soldiers would intimidate and terrify witnesses coming from the area, and are to assist before the commission.
These soldiers, he said, have themselves been used in the alleged slave practices forcefully to gather boys, drive them to Since where they are held, and to their their shipment to Fernando-Poo. As guards over men forced to work on the roads, the soldiers are accused of maltreatment and plundering are regarded with such fear that witnesses would hesitate in giving testimony out of fear of reprisals which would come to them later, Faulkner declared the commission. Asks Open Hearings
The commission was also asked, but declined, to hold its hearing in public, especially since Fernando-Poo did its members that in forty-eight hours' notice he could bring before them 10,000 witnesses who would substantiate his charges, given week, he said,
The King Administration, whom Faulkner accuses of being connected officially wit hthe slave practices in the republic, based its defense the contention that it is no slave traffic within the meaning of slavery, as defined by the League of Nations.

Dr. Moton Announces Sailing Date from New York.
TUSKEGEE, Ala. — Dr. R. R. Moton, chairman of the Hoover commission to make a study of the educational situation in Haiti, announced this week that the commission will sail from New York June 10 on the S.S. Ancon, of the Panama Railroad Steamship Line, to be gone five weeks.
Associates of Dr. Moton include: Dr. Mordecal Johnson, president of Howard University, who will study the college and medical educational conditions on the island; Lee M. Favrot, white, field secretary; Benjamin F. Hubert, college president of Georgia State Industrial College, at Savannah, and Dr. W. T. B. Williams, dean of the college at Tuskegee.
The commission was appointed March 8 at the same time that the political commission, white, was named
It planned to sail within a few weeks but delayed until President Borno was forced out and Provisional President Roy took his place.
The delay has also given members of the commission time to close up the school year at their several schools and attend commencements. Howard commencement is this Friday, Tuskegee and Georgia State graduates were enrolled. Besides the commissioners, those in the party will be Dr. G. Lake Imes, secretary to the commission; Prof. Alphonse Heningburg, interpreter and aide; W. A.

(Staff Correspondence of the AFRO)
LINCOLN, Pa. - Sixty-two graduates who had just been awarded bachelors' degrees by President William Hallock Johnson, heard Dr. Joseph Holley, Lincoln alumnus, class of 1900 and president of Albany (Ga.) Normal and Agricultural College, say: "I thank God for American slavery."
Holley was describing a recent trip to Africa under the auspices of the Presbyterian Mission Board, in which he saw native men and women without clothing unloading ships.
"But for slavery," said Dr Holley, "I too would be naked, unloading European ships in West Africa." Silence greeted the speaker's utterance.
He was applauded as he told of begging the first two thousand dollars thirty years ago for which he has developed a Georgia school with a plant now valued at a quarter of a million dollars. Dr. Holley also praised the Eighteenth Amendment and Volunteer Act as his best legislation of fifty years. In his own possible, he said, travel from one end of Georgia to the other "without seeing anybody with whiskey in him."
Alexander Speaks
President Johnson introduced Dr. W. W. Alexander, white, of Atlanta, director of the Commission on African American women and "loved white men and colored men into brotherhood." Dr. Alexander advised graduates to emulate the white of Albert Schweitzer, the white of Alphonso Schweitzer, who after earning a doctor's degree in theology, and a second in philosophy, took a third-door's degree in medicine in order to go 400 miles into the interior and set up a host for natives.
"Don't be afraid of getting beyond culture," he advised the graduates, individually. Do your own thinking. Avoid the type illustrated by Henry Ford who turns 'em out so he'll run and rattle, all but be afraid.
"I wish there were a college like Lincoln for my son. Whether the faculty is any good or not, it is worth spending four years uninterrupted, these trees."
DePriest
Congressman Oscar DePriest's greeting as he arose to speak was "I am glad to see something good come out of Georgia." Mr. DePriest, replying directly to Dr. Holley, declared he had no objection to the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment, but much more good would be accomplished if the American people would enforce all the Amendments."

HALF-WIT KILLED
Courageous Editor in
Second "Lynch" Town.
By ROSCOE DUNGEE, Editor Okla-
OKLAHOMA CITY.—The tempest of mob violence which has been sweeping the Southwest for the past few weeks broke out anew when more than a thousand blood-thirsty men and boys brushed aside officials and national guardsmen as they were tin soldiers, and lynched 19-year-old Henry Argo, half-wit, at Chickasha, Saturday. Argo, brought here after he had been shot as he crouched in a jail, cell and stabbed in the chest as he lay on a jail couch, died in a hospital here.
Waited for Mob
Rumors that the Chickasaw mob was coming to Oklahoma City for the body that they might further wreck: the NEGRO civilians to arm, wrestle, and patrol the streets all night. The rumor, however, proved unfounded.
Dunjee at Chicasha
Roscoe Dunjee, local newspaper man, for the second time entered a mob-crized city, when he went to Chickasha, Sunday. Although not molested himself, two white men, whom he took along to make pictures and get inside facts; were jailed and their films confiscated.
When Dunjee went to the authorities to secure their release, he was told that they were being held for investigation. He returned to Oklahoma City and after securing the services of Monson Fruit, the state leading criminal lawyer, the men were released at 1 a.m. Monday. The equipment, belonging to his news-room, the Black Dispatch, was also returned.
Worked With Mob
Information received by these men from eye-witnesses is to the effect that officers of Chickasha worked with the mob.
When the mob formed, shouting threats of violence against anyone who squared his nose, JesL. L. Chickasha's youthful mayor, and himself a member of the local N.A.A.C. P., attempted to argue with them. Members of the mob, however, armed him, as he said to the mob, and, using crowbars, rammed the door in.
Like Tin Soldiers
At 10 o'clock, when national guardsmen arrived, they fired slank machine gun cartridges and buried a few gas bombs. They fired and took to cover, however, when they were barricaded themselves behind prison doors on the second floor while the mob continued, to tear its way towards the prisoner. Eye witnesses say that when the inmates were pile of mattresses in a downstairs room and, after scaking them with gasoline, set them afire, the national guardsmen a'reed to permit them to reach the floor where Argo was imprisoned. In these negotiations, the guards were forced to out all other prisoners except the half-wit. The fire was then extinguished.
Mob Held Sway.
From that time on, lynch law held sway and the mob went about its aim with unabated fury.
One of its members, said to have been a youth, climbed up some fence to cell where ye wc. Arrogued, crooked, and shot the Felipess prisoner in the head. By this time the mob, operating inside the huffing, had torn out a part of the wall and secured the unconscious body of Arrogued. Wrapped in a sheet, he was taken from the jail and members of the mob, believing him dead, allowed officers to pass with him. At the hospital in Chickasha, where he was

Few whites can "spot" successively and without embarrassing results, the thousands of men and women of Negro descent who are passing for white here daily, both professionally and socially.
Theatres and Hotels
There are no less than five theaters, one hotel, and three exclusive stores which are now employing colored men and women to "spot" colored customers and patrons who are fair enough to be mistaken. These "spotters" report to the management any person who is known to be colored and service is forthwith provided. In many other places mails, elevator operators, doormen or porters are able at or to their meager salaries by turning up their colored brothers and sisters who in their place of employment are in one store, the rest room facilities are refused to colored women by a colored maid who suggests a less elaborate wash-room floor.
Uncle Sam
"Spotting" of colored persons by colored persons has really been going on for a long time. For years employers, not excluding Uncle Sam himself, by any means, have confidentially submitted photos of applicants believed to be colored, for investigation and identification of sengers, porters, jailers, cooks, or any one else of them who might be trusty to prevent the misfortune of the employment of a colored man or woman in a "white" job. And many discharges have followed these re-
Sun Tan Fad
But not spouting as a profession became necessary with the popularity of the sun tan fad. "Spotters" were to avoid a repetition of informal assistance to the women of a rank of prominent white persons were mistaken for colored and refused service at a local hotel, and local exclusive stores found salesmen indifferent and uninterested in valuing custodians given swarthy overnight. I about this time a series of Broadway shows with colored members in the cast struck Wasserman and played the downtown theaters from the lower level, barred even the "gnatuary gallery." Of course You Street belles determined to see the show and powdered up and when it leaked out that Negroes were lending the downtown ticket ticket to the "gnatuary gallery" at a loss to disinterbrek between the "passer" and her dusky Nordic double. So Negroes were employed to point them out and present the sale of tickets to "passers."
Now Profession
So "spotters" began to be employed as such and spotting became a profession which seems to be increasing in importance here. First in ho-
tels and theatres where service is denied to Negroes upon information of waiters, bellmen, porters or maids, and later in exclusive stores, where, upon the "expert information" anything that the maidens of color desires, miraculously disappear from a nod to the clerk in attendance.
And strange as it may seem there is on' her one instance in which a colored man or woman has been known to refuse to give this information and receive the gratitude of her employer. Despicable as it may seem, soothing at that here at a profession which Negroes may control for a long, long time—for the bitterest cracker often errs in his judgement—a Negro, never,
$100,000 Suit Echoes
Odd Fellow Charges
(Washington Bureau of the AFRO)
WASHINGTON.—A suit requesting $100,000 damages for the alleged circulation and publishing of a book that have been filed by Isaac W. Scott, 1455 Coronar Street. N.W., against the Ode Fellows' Hall Association and the Grand Jury of Coronar Fellows District Supreme Court.
Scott asks $5,000 damages for accusations in a suit which charges him and Attorney W. O. Davis on March 20, of colluding to misappropriate $6,883.33.
Another $5,000 is asked by the plaintiff for charges made on Nov. 1922 that he appropriated the sum of $8,000 of the corporation's money to his use.
Scott states that the charges involved murpitude and depravity. He also states that the charge imputed to him the commission of a crime for which he might be in

CAPITAL POLICE USE WET TOWEL IN THIRD DEGREE
Unemployed Strangled, Blackjacked and Strapped Naked.
NO ARRESTS
Congress Asked to Probe Brutality.
(Washington Bureau of the AFRO)
WASHINGTON. — Th at the cops of the Capital City can do no evil is, apparently, the view of the District Attorney, Chas. B. Murray, who refused to act when given indisputable evidence that officers had violated the Constitutional rights of citizens.
Bruised and battered victims of third degree brutality of police, arrested after alleged unlawful entry, repeatedly picked out the guilty officers before the attorney on May 23, but no action was taken from him. A 2:22 on May 19 officers without a warrant, and in utter disregard of the theory that a man's home is his castle, broke into the hall occupied by the International Brotherhood Welfare Association. 509 G Street northwest.
The L.B.W.A., incorporated under the laws of Ohio twenty-five years ago, permits its members to sleep in the hall during the seasons when unemployment is at its peak. Fourteen colored men and one white man who were asleep under the eye of William Johnson, night watchman, were rudely awakened by flash lights and abusive language. The men were lined up against a wall, then marched to a patrol wagon which carried them to No. 6 police precinct. The men were booked for investigation. Several, including the white man, were released in a few hours, but two are being held at the time of this writing. Police claimed that they had information that two men were house breaking were in the building.
Strangled with Wet Towel
Affidavits by four men filed Tues-
dafternoon almost into unsensibility by a wet
towel, black-facked unmercifully and
brown with straps across their bare
hands.
The men protesting the treatment are: Lester Fitzmaurice, 28, World Veteran; William Herman, 28, Ernest Waters, 29, and William McCoy, 29.
Get the Hell Out
Another one of the victims, James Ross, has since disappeared and his present whereabouts are unknown. He "gelt out of town" worked in his case. The three cops who may face the police trial board are: W. E. Matthews and Edwards, of No. 6 Precinct, Robert Frazier, of No. 1 Precinct. Fitzmaurice, who was taken prior to the raid, held for investigation later changed to vagrancy, was kept in custody until the trial Wednesday, May 22. Officer Matthews testified at the trial that he admitted several crimes. Detectives who investigated the supposed crimes found the confession to be un-
Inhuman Treatment
When called to the stand by Judge R. E. Mattingly, Fittmaurice told of the inhuman treatment he had received in the courtroom and the confessions which he repudiated.
Judge Mattingly reprimanded Matthews and asked him whether he thought the man was a punching bag or a sparring partner. Fitzgerald released
Threatened by Police
In his amdavit, the ex-soldier sword that Matthews told him later in the book, he got the hell out of town d——quick. Hearing of the violence to the members of the mob, the organizer, organizer, internationally known as the "King of Hoboes" carried five mistreated men to Reedus of Deeds Arthur G. Free, on May 19.
After examining the men's bruises, Mr. Froe communicated with General Lieutenant Morgan was sent to the hall to investigate. On the following day, Inspector Bean of the police department, pitts, white, representative of the LB.W.A., to carry the men on Wednesday, No. 6 Precinct to identify the officers.
Cops Identified
On Wednesday, before Inspector Bean, Officers Edwards and Matthews were picked out by five men as the mute man. A, S. Pinkett, of the A.N.A.C.P., was notified and he immediately urged Commissioner Grosby and the investigator to investigate. He received assurance that he would receive a report. Mr. Pinkett stated that he had heard of other cases in which the D.C. maltreated defenseless persons.
"All availabie facilities of the N.A.A.C.P. will be used to throw the light on these cases," he said. W. O. Cormack took four men on May 23, Fitzmurray, Joiner, Rutledge and Waters, before U.S. Attorney Murray to file charges of assault on the officer who was shown the abrasions.
One, Officer Frazier, who testified for the cops that he saw nothing at No. 6 recinct, was pointed out to the officer who was the third man who assaulted them.
NAACP Man Barred
Mr. Pinkett, acting as legal representative of the N.A.A.C.P., was barred from the district attorney's office during the hearing. He refused to issue warrants and on May 24 wrote Mr. Colpittis in part: "I have decided not to issue warrants in any of these matters, and I will be necessary for you to appear again. I am so advising Inspector Bean.

2,500 Fight to Gain Admission to Rankin Hall. WASHINGTON. Th at this world is not yet completed; that the human race is capable of far greater progress from this point on than it has yet made, and that there is no better human material in the world to develop it than representatives of the graduating class, were the high notes sounded by Dr. Mordecai Johnson in his baccalaureate sermon in Andrew Rankin chapel Sunday.
At the beginning of his sermon Dr. Johnson recalled that many of the graduates entered the university simultaneously with his assuming the efficiency and he repeated to them what he had said four years ago, that "everything depends when you are us whether you consider that you are going out to make your way in a world where essentially finished or you are going out to take a creative part in the making of a good yet unfinished."
Glorified Lincoln
"Abraham Lincoln was not a church member, nor did he have a college degree." said Dr. Johnson in urging Lincoln as an ideal for the students.
"Lincoln reached the heights because of the internal discipline of his own mind. His pathway led through exorcation, loneliness and calumny, but he carried in his bosom an absolute conviction that he would hear all sides of a question. He would then meditate until his mind and heart came together as a unit for action."
With reference to Lincoln's procrastination about issuing the emancipation proclamation, Dr. Johnson said Lincoln "had at least half dozen chances to free the slaves before he did, but he he did not do it. Lincoln knew there was more involved in the emancipation of slaves man getting the regro free. We wanted the New York by the deliberate and voluntary act of the South but he wanted not only a free man but a clean white man."
Johnson told the graduates to stand independently on ethical matrics and to allow their own imagination to tell them how men should in their relations with one another and to have the courage to suffer for their own convictions. This counsel is often referred to as "the advice that you make it great. There is no better stuff in the world than you are, and the time may yet
come when one of you will be the decisive factor in national life."
Needs Assembly Hall
Noting the large crowd who failed to gain admission to the building, Dr. Johnson urged the need of a new

The crowd stood on both sides of the walk along from the processional was to pass from the library into the chase. There was hardly space for them in the processional to march two abreast.
Screaming Women
Before the end of the processional hiee entered the chapel, the crowd broke into the line of graduates and began a mad shove to get into the chapel. Policemen detained university from the crowd, precinct fought to the crowd back, but could stem the mob until the vesicle leading into the chapel had been crowded. Screaming, women caught in the jam added to the excitement. Finally the officers not the doors closed and the crowd under

Invocation was said by Rev. W. L. Washington, pastor of Zion Baptist Church. Scripture readion, Rev. Will Brennan, professor of rhetorics in the school of religion.

Man Masquerading as Nurse, Arrested
COLUMBIA, S.C. — (ANP.)—Ever since he was born, some fifty years ago, George Watson has had an obsession for femininity, and as a result he is in the toils of the law. Watson is well-known about town as "Aunt Rachel" and has been a nurse, in which vocation he has established quite a reputation. The officers did not object to "Aunt Rachel" nursing, but they did object to his wearing of pads and parading around as a woman.
A few days ago, "Aunt Rachel" was employed to nurse an aniling white woman and in some manhole where he was not what he was supposed to be and was fired. Later he was met on the streets by a boy who recognized him and asked for arrest. Walson admitted that he was a man to the officers and was placed in jail, charged with disorderly conduct.

BORNO FLED HAITI, FEARING DEATH
WASHINGTON. — Ex-President Louis Borno fled from Port-au-Prince, Haiti by airplane bound for Cuba, New York and Paris, to escape assassination.
Captain Napoleon B. Marshall translates the following from LeMuriel of July 16, showing the hurdle of the people towards their former president.
"As Borno came down the steps of the Palace to retire to private life, a scene indescribable is staged, a din with which the king is surrounded by thousand voices hurling maledictions at this man, among which one can distinguish 'Down with Borno,' 'Down with Satan,' 'Get Out, You Demon,' 'Get Out, You Demon,' 'Pilager,' without counting other words emanating from vulgar mouths which are unprintable. "At the corner of the high iron fence, the king is forced to interpret the hoots for acclamation, doffs his hat, then the din reubnies and the gates of the palace, the popular malediction accompanies him as far as Bourdon up the mountain road toward Pelonville."
"Inside the palace, the new Provisional President Roy order-hands his axes to the hands for hours shaking hands with multitudes."

WASHINGTON. — Strong bids for the Negro vote in New Jersey will be made by opposing candidates for the Republican nomination for United States Senator, it became apparent here Tuesday when it w was learned that Perry W. Howard, Republican national committeeman for Mississippi, is going into that state for the purpose of conferring with political leaders with a view to lining up the Negro vote for Dwight W. Morrow.
Mr. Howard made the keynote speech at a special meeting in Atlantic City last Thursday night. The audience was composed of colored voters mainly and Mr. Howard made an appeal to them to support the candidacy of Mr. Howard. Mr. Howard, endorsed what the national committee had said and stated that he approved of the latter's political ambitions notwithstanding his color. Howard has not relinquished his place on the Republican national committee, although the President has taken Federal patronage in Mississippi out of his hands and has had as his guest at his summer camp at Rapidan, Va., Lamont Rowland, Howard's political leader; who has opposed his political leadership on Mississippi.
Howard still has his grip on the Republican organization in Mississippi. He will not hesitate to resort to the courts of his State to retain that grip, and it would not be surprise if I should be disclosed. He is making it become more than the Republican nominee for United States Senator, from New Jersey.

S.C. MAYOR AND COP INDICTED AS LYNCHERS
Trial Postponed Until July 7; Solicitor is Threatened by Unknown Persons.
Special Probers Disclosed that Mayor was in Mob.
WALHALLA, S.C.-With the mayor and a night policeman among the 17 men indicted by the grand jury for a part in the lynching of Allen Green, aged citizen, on April 23, excitement swept this little town Tuesday when they pleaded for a postponement of the trial until the jury could decide. The team charged with lynching, assault and battery, robbery, conspiracy to commit murder and the rescue of a prisoner, were indicted after Governor Richards had ordered Solicitor Leon Harris to make a thorough investigation of the lynching of
Like Thunder Bolt
The finding of true bills against a number of the mob fell like a thunder-boit on the town, as no one took the investigation seriously until Solicitor Harris arrived. He stated that the grand jury would be asked to indict thirteen others. Having received threatening letters, Solicitor Harris had the court room where the hearing took place, heavily guarded that he would carry out his duty to bring the men to justice.
Riddled Body
Green, who was charged with assaulting a young white woman, was dragged from his cell after the mob had struck the sheriff over the head with a pistol. He was riddled with bullets. The mob victim, an aged man, bore an excellent reputation in the community.
FOUGHT WITH COP
Because he resisted arrest after creating a disorder in front of 1528 St. Mary's Church, 32. 29 Church Street, was fired $55 and costs when hailed in the Southern police station on charges of disorderly conduct and assault upon an officer. Testimony given at the hearing showed that Dooley refused to walk and called for help and then proceed to proceed he started fighting the officer.

THOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER
(June, 1906)
While standing on the corner of Wilson Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, I listened to a brutal policeman driving inside two women sitting on their front steps with babies in their arms.
While standing on the corner of Wilson Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, I listened to a brutal policeman driving inside two women sitting on their front steps with babies in their arms. This policeman spoke to them later, as if they were on no very uncertain terms by this same offence brusque of an officer. Of course I moved rather than spend a night in the police station, but it didn't deter me from reporting the matter to the police. I policed this officer very soon afterward with a victim on his way to a patrol box, and after that, a patrol wagon had a load going into the Northwestern police station. It is this type of officer that makes well-disposed people burdened with the law of this kind have no business on the police force.
This policeman spoke to them as if they were dogs. In a moment or two I was asked to move in no very uncertain terms by the uncleous brute of an officer. Of course I moved rather than spend a night in the police station, but it didn't me from reporting the matter to reporters.
I noticed this officer very soon afterward with a victim on his way to a patrol box, and after that, a patrol wagon had a load going into the Northwestern police station.

Edward Tolan, bespeciaded Michigan University sprinter, holder of the world's record for the 100-rd dash, lost the 100- and the 220-yard dashes at the Intercollegiate meet last week, at Chicago.
A week before this the champion was beaten by his chief rival, George Simpson, white, of Ohio State University at the Evanston, Illinois, track.
The fact is, Tolan, who is the national as well as the world's sprint title-holder hasn't struck his stride since the European tour of last fall. Readers of the AFRO will recall the ill-faced expedition when supposedly cultured white athletes like Erik Kjllstrom, Georgetown; Fred Stendy, Yale; Leo Sexton, Georgetown; Richard Rockaway, Ohio State; Leo Lermond, Boston A.A.; and Reginald Bowen, Pittsburgh University, members of the American team, made that series of exhibition races in Europe one humiliation after another for Tolan, who also was on the American team.
They gave him his meals and his room alone; they seldom spoke to him; when possible they left town without advising him. Nobody but a saint would have staid with the team under such difficulties. Some men faced with this kind of savagery fight back; but not good-natured Eddie Tolan. He turned the other cheek so often that he developed an inferiority complex. He sł랑自己,他的other fellow is better. He thinks he can't win and he doesn't.
Eddie Tolan, the world's champion, has lost his grip and his confidence. Lacking these, the world's finest pair of legs have failed him.

Another Job for DePriest
Another Job for DePriest
Under this heading the Chicago Bee last week suggested editorially that Congressman Oscar DePriest see to it that one of the three vacancies on the board of education in Chicago be filled by a Negro.
On Monday the AFRO-AMERICAN asked Mr. DePriest to seek to include a medal to Mr. Matt Henson when Congress makes its awards to members of the Byrd Polar Expedition.
We pointed out that Commander Byrd and his men at the South Pole with radio, two ships, airplanes and plenty of funds did not begin to go through the hardships which faced Commander Peary and Matt Henson who conquered the North Pole with sleds and dogs on foot.
There wasn't a single day of the Byrd expedition that he was not in town with New York by radio. The men had to receive entertainment messages for their benefit and receive and messages from and to their friends.
Peary and Henson did not hear from home for six months.
Assuredly Mr. DePriest will do the best he can, at the same time keeping up his speaking itinerary, watching legislation in Congress, and maintaining his Chicago fences in repair.
If there ever was a "Congressman-at-Large" he certainly is one. His willingness to help everybody in all directions is only another indication of his own need at St. Louis and New York are in position to elect their own colored Congressmen at the next election, which cannot come too soon.

One Gray
Out in Yakima, Washington, faithful Republicanans were rather startled when President Hoover, peeved at the Senate's refusal to confirm Judge John J. Parker for the Supreme Court, made this statement to Mr. R. M. Hardy, white: "It is an outrage. I do not know what this country is coming to when it can be run by demagogues and Negro politicians." Here in the East where we are much closer to Mr. Hoover, his anti-Negro policy has long been apparent. His remarks to Mr. Hardy therefore, occasion no surprise. The President snapped at Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune and a delegation of the National Negro Memorial Commission; he was almost discounted. He has backed to the limit the lily-white Republican factions of the South and used every method to discredit Mr. William McDonald in Texas, Mr. Walter Cohen in Louisiana, Mr. Benjamin Davis in Georgia, and Mr. Perry Howard in Mississippi. In over a year in the White House, he has spoken no word of encouragement or comfort to millions of Negro citizens. Under several unconditional burdens from which the national government has not relieved them and has not tried to do so. For all the interest of Mr. Hoover, the Negroes of this country might as well be in Mexico or

For all the interest of Mr. Hoover, the Negroes of this country might as well be in Mexico or South America.
And this brings us down to Decoration Day at Gettysburg, which place Mr. Hoover visited on May 30 en route to a fishing party and made a Memoir. As always at the Gettysburg battlefield exercises, only the members of the G.A.R. are invited as guests.
Facing Mr. Hoover as he spoke was a group of aged and grizzled Union veterans, their hats adorned with the braid of gold and blue, their bosoms covered with medals and badges.
Give Them Pea-Shooters
The lynching of a prisoner at Sherman, Texas took place three weeks ago because the militia was ordered not to hurt anybody. A mob in Chickasha, Oklahoma, lynched a man, wrecked a jail and terrorized a town because the militia was ordered to shoot low and wound the attackers in the legs. After the fracta, it was found that the only casualties were among the militiamen, some of whom were in Chickasha hospitals, but member of the mob were not wounded at all. Texas's policy of not hurting anybody and Oklahoma's of alming at or below the legs is just what mobs thrive upon. Considering the total number of casualties inflicted by the militia at Sherman and Chickasha we suggest that Dixie states equip all their militia units with pop guns and pea shooters, and that strict orders be issued: "Shoot to kill."

Senile Simmons
Thirty-two years ago Senator Simmons (Dem. N. C.) led a movement of Red Shirts, Ku Klux and other brigands who by violence and by threats kept every Negro away from the polls in his state. In the past two weeks several hundred colored people have registered in Raleigh. Normally Republicans, these folks have discovered that the Republican party in North Carolina hasn't elected its local or state candidates to office, twenty-five years. If they, therefore, wanted to wield an influence in politics and have their votes to count, there was but one thing to do. Under the direction of their leaders, they did it; namely, registered a Democrat. Old Senator Simmons is campaigning for reelection. Semile and toterting, he was about to be snowed under by the younger, more progressive Democrats who mounted his support or Hoover in the last election. The same no campaign issue until the seem hundred colored folk, many of the women, registered as Democrats in Raleigh. Then his campaign manager erupted as follows:

Upon the coming Saturday, which is Challenge Day, Senator Simmons' representatives in the Senate will challenge one of these Negroes, and we are going to lodge our challenge against them without disguise, and no business with the Negroes; that the Democratic party is the white party of this State and that these Negroes have no proper place and no business with the white people of this State gee whether or not Mr. Bailey and the Jones faction (Simmons) oppose them. This matter and consummate this outrage which they are attempting to perpure upon the Democratic for the White Supremacy campaign, and the man who is chiefly responsible for the elimination of the Negro from North Carolina, is single one of these Negroes should attempt 'o vote for Senator Simmons, or should be induced by the political effect of the opposing man, the Simmons managers, if they can get the facts, will challenge the right of such Negro to vote in the Democratic primary, and if possible, will step him at the
North Carolina in the past ten years has advenued in public education, in health, and in good roads. If intelligence and wealth are sufficiently wide-spread, Senator Simmons will be placed upon the shelf at the next election.

SONG TO THE LORD
By NORMAN P. WORTHAM
I would be loving, Lord—
Gently would be loving;
Love, as naught else will do.
Bewitten, that’s blue,
As. in the morning hour,
Dew lifts the withered flow’r.
Lord, I would be loving.
I would be singing, Lord—
Softly would be singing;
Song, in a darkscape hour.
Will cheer the soul that’s sour,
As. with the dawn of day.
Sun drives the night away.
Lord, I would be singing.

As to the Anstrophe.
It seems to me that the English language is extremely flexible, so much so, that the four divisions of grammar, orthography, etymology, synonymy give rule devised or defined by any individual. That pesky apostrophe, about which "The Proofreader Talks" so much, comes in for a hearing on appeal, since I do not accept it. It is not a rule that the NOT be used in a certain sense, when more than one of the metropolitan dailies do just the opposite day after day. In fact, the first definition of an apostrophe is in the definition of one or more letters of the word for a sake of quicker pronunciation," while the use as possessive is secondary. Now then, which is worse (and remember, it is a matter of choice), to write "The Merlees' jesses and Holmes sailed for Paris"? Here the use of the apostrophe as deleter is as much justified as in "phone ,bus, photo" or "76." There may be set rules or were a number of rough-shod over them. Can it be that modern newspapers who are guilty of abusing the "DO NOT" rules, do not know their error? The use of the apostrophe is a matter of choice in forming the "is" or "proper" of the word of the "s" or "is" is fictional, yea, selfish. Unless the editor's blue pencil runs counter, I shall say more anon.
MEMORIES
Dear Isle! I shall always love you.
To your shores I shall come again;
But I shall never find a childhood
Shall I search for them in vain?
Woll'll tell me tales of daws gone by,
A crimson oak takes the skies,
And the woods makes dance gleefully
Before my tired eyes?
Shall my comrades meet at the sea shore,
Before the tide arise.
ALONE
I want to go down by the sea tonight.
And sit on top of the white sand dune.
And let my memory take flight
To one still eve in June.
When the moon, blood-red, rose out of the sea,
And the blinking lights of the city far,
Appeared as fire-flies to me,
Beneath the evening star.
A frightened sea-mew flew my way,
Bolested by some cause unknown,
And crying, seemed as if to say,
"Why are you here alone?"
I want to go back to that sea again.
I want to go back to the white sand dune,
And cool the fever in this brain,
So full of that eve in June.
I want to go there where the surges roll
And lash the sands in ruthless mood;
I want again to bathe my soul
In moon as red as blood.

Simmons and Daniels, North Carolina Democrats, Are Not Popular in Connecticut.
To the Editor.
Election officials from the State of North Carolina say that Senator Fernifold M. Simmons has revived his old methods in order to win votes from his opponent in the primary, which is to be held June seventh, in the State of North Carolina.
The fact that a large number of colored people have registered as Democrats has aroused the of Senator Simmons and Josephus Daniels to the extent that either is willing to use force to keep Negroes from being back to the words of the outstanding men in the Democratic party in Connecticut, in the Belmont Hotel, six years ago. Said the distinguished gentleman:
"Those crackers in the South are so clam dumb until they can not see out of the words of the ballet in that section, keeps our party from ever electing a National ticket.
"They are only concerned about occupying seats in Congress by fraudulent means of keeping your people from voting, and they do not care a single word of the ballet" parties come out in other sections of the country.
"Such men as they are a detriment to the Democratic party. If I were a member of your race, I would challenge the seat of such men who are elected to office of public trust by fraudulent men. The gentleman had his right dope. If Senators Vare and Smith can be deprived of their seats in the United States Senate, because they spent large sums of money, they argue that they are able legal talent, fight men who are elected to Congress by fraudulent means.
If Senator Simmons's henchmen resort to sheer force to keep Negroes from the primary, Negroes show up in a stiff fight in the trying, from being seated in the Senate. I will give the first five dollars towards the movement.

In an editorial in The Ledger, October 15, 1898, there is this illuminating paragraph:
"And, yet, Mr. Lowndes has done absolutely nothing to merit the support of the colored race. The Republican party has not carried out in good faith its purpose of ordered teachers' pleadings; it failed to behalf of the Cheltenham reformatory institution; Governor Lowndes and Mayor Malster continue, even now, to appoint white men to colored institutions as trustees, reflecting thereby on the capability and who could advantageously to the state, as well as to their own such capacity."
THREE years later, Malster being defeated, his success, Thomas G. Hayes, not only appointed a school board which immediately turned the colored high school over to colored instructors, but also appointed one of the school's representatives on the board of officers of the Cheltenham institution.
Three years later, Malster being defeated, his success, Thomas G. Hayes, not only appointed a school board which he oversaw to colored instructure, but also appointed Harry S. Cummings as one of the city representatives on the board of managers of the Chicheltown institution. The Colleges of Chicheltown, in Canalspans, from 1897, communicated with Congressman Sidney Mudd, with respect to giving colored applicants a chance to enter the Naval Academy, at that place. Writing from the House of Representatives, in Washington, on December 10, 1897, students, Sydney B. Mudd said:

If Professor Miller is the recipient of the propoemer at 1538 Ninth Street, then I conjecture that the Associated Publishers, then I conjecture there will be no reply; because he was stripped to swaddling clothes by me in New York during a meeting with the very organized organization which was done under the presidency of Dr. M. A. N. Shaw, of Boston, immediately preceding his death.
Trotter represented the League, Johnson and Boswell the N.A.A.C.P. Dr. Miller and Jasmin the young and the young, the Washing-Up Lifft League.

THE MOST SIGNIFICANT political episode of the week is the Democratic storm in North Carolina.
At one time this writer looked for Tennessee to become the political background of another "New South," but the cohosts of Robert R. Church appear to have become quiescent while a younger element in the Tar Heel State, though not ready to buck the flaming banner of white supremacy" are certainly ready to side-step it in the interest of political expediency.
WHAT IS HAPPENING IN NORTH CAROLINA MAY REVOLUTIONIZE THE POLITICAL PRACTICES IN SEVERAL STATES, FOR NORTH CAROLINA IS A ROCK-RIBBED DEMOCRATIC DOMAIN.
Set against the old war horse, Senator F. M. Simmons, who thirty years ago, led one of the most brutal political fights to bar the Negro from citizenship in his state that has taken place since South Carolina whites barred them with shotguns, is a younger element of liberalism in persons being merged with the regular Democratic organization to defeat him.
An analysis of this combination should be interesting to Negro leaders.
First, there are the under-privileged white workers in the cotton industry whom the Communists have stirred up and who are disposed to join Negro workers in any kind of a fight which will encapitate them economically.
Second, there are intellectual liberals who have been behind North Carolina's unusual efficient educational program which has made the best Negro educational equipment south of the Mason and Dixon line.
Third, there are the former "white supremacy" adherents who still believe in keeping the Negro from the pollens but whose major objective is to beat Senator Simmons because his bolt to Hoover deprived them of political spoils.
If this combination wi n i against Simmons, who is appalling again to the national bet raidion, it will bring into leadership a younger generation with more liberal minds and attitudes; and if Negro leadership in the state can match this liberalism by coming to realize that a Democrat, willing to register them in the Democratic Party, Parker Republican, who would bar them from the Republican primary, there will soon come a new day in the South.
COMMENTING ON "The Green Pastures" a writer asks this column that does it think of representing "Paradise in the form of a fish fry"?
There might appear something sacrilegious about the business of picturing heaven as a place to appease the gastronomic desires, but seriously thinking, haven't most of us thought of heaven in similar terms?
We still sing of golden streets and milk and honey. And those who grow tired under the load of daily toil look on as "a place not whose of all edibles, like fish the most, look forward to a heavenly fish fry?
After all, if there is a heaven, and the requirements for entrance are those set down by the "meek and lowly Nazarene," the most of us selfish Christians in this world need not bother much about what it will be like anyway.
COMMENCEMENT PROGRAMS remind us that we are about to harvest our annual crop of school, college and university graduates.
Exactly one year ago this column called attention to the fact that in Baltimore and other cities we were giving but little ORGANIZED effort to the business of finding active places to use the enormous amount of human talent and training that we have gained from our schools and colleges. With last year's crop of graduates still on the market for jobs, so far as Baltimore is concerned, little has been done to improve the situation.
WHEN THESE BOYS AND GIRLS LAY DOWN THEIR GAPS AND GOWNS AND MARCH INTO LIFE, MARCH WILL FIND THEM, ADDITIONAL JOB OPENED FOR TREMEN IN THE CITY'S VAST HUM OF COMMERCE, DESPIE THE FACT THAT SINCE LAST YEAR, NEGROES IN BALTIMORE HAVE SPENT $40,000,000.
The same, with some worthy exceptions, will be true of most cities.
Chicago, for instance, has added nearly a thousand new positions since last year.
But in Baltimore, the Business Men's Exchange has met monthly to collect the loan notes on their headquarters which they have kept locked except at meeting times.
The Urban League has been too busy with other things to get down to the details of opening up jobs, which it adopted as its real work this year. They social and welfare clubs here will meet to discuss the subject, but their members still buy their clothes, groceries and other commodities without the slightest thought of what the spending of their money means to youth of their own flesh and blood.
Vocational guidance s t i l operates to inform young men and women as to the vocation in which they would be most successful, but that department still operates no active agency to help open these businesses. In the public guidance department there is a placement employee, and they cannot need it more than colored boys and girls.
Perhaps before another crop of graduates comes out next year, we will have become ashamed of ourselves and will have gone in earnest about the business of reconstructing our economic life as the most important thing we can do.
The Laughs Behind the News By RALPH MATTHEWS
Ex-President Louis Borno of Haiti arrived in New York last week, an exile from his native country. He did not mind being an ex-president, but he did not want the "X" to mark the spot where the body was found.
The Haitian government is planning a hero medal for Borno for preventing singlehanded the assassination of a former president by leaving the country.
The president is supposed to be the head of the army and navy and sometimes he has to stay far enough and to keep them from catching him.

Island presidents don't have time to fashion laws to protect the common people, because it takes most of their time trying to protect themselves.
When a president doesn't do right in America the citizens use their votes to bring pressure at the polls, but in some countries they use their pistols to bring pressure on the ribs.
It's pretty hard for a president to make a speech saying how much he loved everybody when he don't know what minute somebody is going to throw a bomb and alienate his affection.
The saying, "Unceasy lies the head that wears the crown," should, in the case of presidents, be changed to read, "Unceasy lies the head that wears the high silk hat."
In America, all the president has to do is dodge issues, but in Haiti he has to dodge bullets.
The chief executive here can forge his election promises and turn away job seekers with a wave of the hand, but that would be a hard thing to do if they came carrying bolo knives.
In half-civilized countries it doesn't make any difference what ticket a man runs on, the one who has the largest army always wins.
Instead of counting ballots they just count the survivors. They don't hold an election every four years, but wait until they get enough rifles to make a good showing at the polls.
Of course, America doesn't have much bloodshed at elections, but there is a lot of poison was circulated by the politicians in their speeches.
In smaller countries the man who can shoot the quickest is the political boss. Of course, they don't shoot all the officeholders, but they keep half-mast in case of emergency.
The vice-president's wife keeps her morning clothes in readiness for fear the robbers will mistake her husband for the president any day.
A true patriot doesn't mind giving his life to his country, but he don't like the idea of women taking it without giving him notice.
Over here men run for office, but elsewhere they don't start running until they get it.
When a man is selected here for office by his friends, he feels honored, but in other countries he wonders what they have against him.
The reason woman suffrage never got a good foothold in Latin countries is because women can't keep them from being planted to shoot the president.
The president's wife may be the first to land, but she is generally the last one to get the news about the assassination.
Some countries don't have unemployment situations like we do because most of the citizens are kept busy hatching up plots to overthrow the government.
They don't have much bother with crooked elections either, because everybody can shoot fairly straight. But there is always the fellow who can't make up his mind who to vote for and pops off a few candidates on both sides.
When a man goes into office everybody turns out to the inauguration and when he goes out everybody attends the wake.

Again, re回来 to the matter of spelling reform, it may be admitted that there are many words which might perhaps be spelled with fewer letters, and there are many apparent words in this book containing like sounds or combinations of sounds.
Thus we have though, slow, so, how, sew, beau, and the Yankee pronouns ewe, "yo." On the other hand, other words in these pronouns bindings to these are more quite differently. For example, tough, cow, new, beau-tif, etc.
These variations reach into the thousands. To reform (uniform all of them would practice) such pronouns to pick out a few, even a few hundred, would leave us about where we are, or probably worse off; aside from the difficulty of getting any sort of agreement indicated. (Note the various spellings of long "o" sound, above.)
The fact is, the difficulty of learning to spell is greatly overestimated. Moreover the period of our lives durest the period of our learning to spell the greater part of the words we habitually use, is a period when the time is not needed for anything more important. It is much better results could be obtained were better methods used. But that is another story—to be told at another time.
In the meantime, dear reader if (any there be), if you have learned to spell, or are learning to spell, or don't waste any time trying to learn new ways just to satisfy the yearnings of a few would-be reformers. And if you haven't learned to spell, or are learning to spell, or ordinary way, you might as well learn to spell it that way as any other.
And, if, unfortunately, you were in school when the craze was on taming of the reformed forms, better try to change them: for those who read after you will not know whether you are unconscious, following a fixed pattern, or merely, indulging in self-conscious affection.
Reformed spelling is *passe*. (Not very good grammar.) I guess you *what* I mean?

Negro Should Vote Dry, Regardless of Party
Time is Nigh When the Wet-
Dry Issue Will be Cleary
Drawn; Drus Will Win
Decisive Victory.
BY KELLY MILLER
The issue of prohibition must be fought out at the polls. The American people must elect a President and a Congress specifically pledged to enforce the Eighteenth Amendment before we may hope for adequate enforcement. The President must know that the people as a whole as we take his own party are backing up this constitutional provision. In a democracy no law is apt to be efficiently enforced unless it rests upon the solid support of a substantial majority of the people. Fourteenth Amendment Absolutely Inforced
The Fourteenth Amendment is the law written in the Constitution but it has been absolutely ignored by the last eight administrations. As long as the President felt that he had back of him sufficient supporting public sentiment, he put forth some effort to enforce the curtailment provision of the Fourteenth Amendment. But since, the days of Harrison, there has been no effort because there was not judged to be a sufficient urgency of public sentiment. 'Tis pity, 'tis true; 'tis true, 'tis pity.
The Republican President and Congress are charged with the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment. But 'tis the jurisdiction of Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut, Illinois, Ohio, and the rest are notoriously wet. The poll of the Literary Digest shows too plainly that the Republican states do not favor the enforcement of the law which a Republican President is called upon to enforce. The dry states are in the main Democratic states, or else they belong to the progressive wing of the Republican party.
Come to Taw
Republican politicians have been trying their best to dodge the downright issue, but it will not budge. Already in the several states the politicians are required to come to taw. In Illinois, Mrs. McCormick won the primary election on a dry platform. Her Democratic adversary is as wet as the Republican mayor of Chicago, and she is also between the two rival Republican candidates, as but between Mrs. McCormick and Col. J. Hamilton Lewis, the campaign won't be a war of roses. In New Jersey, the ambassador to Mexico, some say with the approval of the administration, has made his political debut on a soaking wet platform. Congressman Foster, after the primaries are over, we may have the straight issue in that state.
In Pennsylvania, both of the Republican candidates for the Senate profess to be dry, while the choice for governor is a tried veteran in the cause of prohibition. Should Governor Pinchot win on the dry issue in Pennsylvania, he himself become a fondable national champion of whom all wet politicians will have to stand up and take notice.
In Massachusetts, Senator Butler for the first time has declared himself dry. Way out in Washington, on the outer rim of the continent, the Republican party has taken the wet side of the issue.
Both Parties—Wet Here; Dry There
The Democrat of the North are wet, while those of the South are dry. With the Republicans, the Northern contingent is wet and the Western counterpart is dry. There is little genuineness or sincerity on this question. Politicians align themselves according to the prevailing political
One is reminded of a Jew doing business in a distinctively Negro neighborhood who offered to join the African. Methodist Church. The pastor, out of deference to the Hebrew custom, offered him, the option of baptism by dipping or sprinkling. The crafty merchant replied that it did not make a particle of difference. He wished to be baptized in the manner theirs him the most trade. Our crafty politicians are making their wet or dry decisions with the same sort of craftiness. But the time approaches and is now nigh when these politicians will be compelled to line up one way or the other with the positiveness that was required of the astute statesmen in case of the emancipation of slavery more than a generation ago.
Glad Day Coming;
Sad Day Coming
There should be no doubt or hesitancy as to how the Negro should line up in this great moral issue. He should vote for the dry candidate between the two parties, and for the dry over the wet contestant within the same party.
When the battle line is tight drawn, and the decisive victory has been won, as as soon as it will be glad day for the Negroes who control the side of the Constitution and morality. On the other hand it will be a sad day for the whites who stood for rum and ruin.

NIGHT
More wonderful than all his gifts to men!
For stars that walk the dream-wash and that keep.
Their wide-eyed watch uril dawn breaks again:
Theater for blessed silence down the land.
More soothing than the drip or summer rain:
For darkness—soft and cool as some dear hand.
Laid on a forhead feverish wit pain.
Oh, only those who carry strapless scars
Can know how sweet sleep is that comes at last.
And the eyes that have looked long at stars
Have learned night's secret as if marches past;

Tammany Approves Watson and Toney as Candidates for Judges
The Nation's Biggest All-Negro Weekly
FIGHT LOOMS FOR TWO MUNICIPAL POSTS
Toney Hails from Alabama and Watson from Jamaica; Both Backed by Tammany.
G.O.P. ALSJ BUSY
Republicans will Place Candidates in Field.
NEW YORK. (Special)—Tammany Hall of New York City designated Charles Ellis Toney and James S. Watson or candidates to fill the offices municipal judges in the Harlem district, which has just been created, as a result of a law which was sponsored by Assemblymen Rigers and Perkins.
Mr. Toney resides at 409 Edgecombe Avenue and has his law offices at 2313 Seventh Avenue. He is a lawyer, a member of the United Colored Democracy and many fraternal organizations.
He was born in Franklin County, Alabama, in 1878. He spent twelve years in school, then losing but two months, and supported him during a time. He graduated from Horvellsville High School, N.Y., in 1898, and from Syracuse City in 1902 with the degree of Ph.B., and from the University of Fla. with the same degree with the degree of LL.B.
GREENBORO He practiced law for 26 years in New York City and tried important cases, both in the Supreme Court and in the Court of Appeals. Miss Lily R. Johnson, a teacher in Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, in 1918. Watson Assist. Corporation Counsel Mr. James S. Watson is a lawyer and some of his clients are deputy assistant corporation counsel, an office which he still sits. He finished Beech Town, Smith School District Town, Alamanda W.I. Later he came to torment and took special work in one of the New York universities and graduated with the degree of L.L.B. There is evidence to be quite a fight for the judications, as the Republicans are to designate several candidates in a few weeks. Commissioner Ferdinand B. Dunn, on one hand and damned on the other, but he takes it all with a smile and said that he believes these two men to be qualified, and that that is all he is necessary, so prepared.
Mr. Morton is expected to have Harry Briggs, the office of the Tax Commission, designated as assemblyman from district instead of Perkins.
Says Abyssinia Empress Died of Neglect
(Paris Bureau of the AFRO)
PARIS—The French aviator, Rabat, just returned from a long flight to Abyssinia, confirmed what has been previously reported in this paper as regards the death of the Emperor, "Most of what has been reported is sheer romance," he said. "Here are the facts:
The Empress, very religious, and who had been fasting, a spite of her husband, declared her wish to observe Lent. Very reluctantly, the doctor, Germain, a chienman, abandoned her to the care of the native doctors. The latter ordered her cold and died soon after. The Empress had been suffering from diabetes."

Atlanta Mob Defender Hit by Heywood Broun
Constitution Editorial Rests on Two Lies, He Says
NEW YORK—Declaring that Clark Howell's Atlanta Constitution, white, editorial defiance mob busted its argument on two lies, Heyward Broun, white, nationally known columnist, nationally known newspaper in the Scripps-Hewitt newspapers.
The editorial in the Constitution set forth that the Sherman mob action was the result of white violence against innocent white women, assaults upon innocent white women. Mr. Brown called this the most shameful defense of lynching he had ever seen, "No honest man can maintain it," he said. Its culprit was already dead, and the attack was fast approaching. He had confessed. Nothing but mob violence could possibly stay the execution." Of the second lie he declared, "And that the second lie would put the responsibility of this, not upon the Negro criminal, but upon all Negroes. How, can any intelligent person suggest that the atrocious deed of one Negro makes all members of the Negro community violate penalties of a savage mob?"

The Kemp Dance Recital
Music and dates alike hath charms, and so the little dancing dolls of Amanda Kemp lived up to the reliability of the old adage last Thursday evening, when they appeared in an exhibition of dancing at the New Star Casino. The costumes were gorgeous, scenic flower garden of color. It would be more than difficult and so much to select certainly numbers as outstanding, since all twenty were excellent, but to leave out, "The Wedding of the Painted Dills," would be committing a serious felony. Nor must I omit the clever and artistic rendition of "Lazy Louisiana Moon," by the lovely little Jacqueline Lewis; and Verne John the wincome little elf; who jumped a rope and lapped with a mutilation while little Marthaline Rutledge almost stopped the show as "A Strutting Miss." John C. Smith's orchestra, with Matel Ford at the piano, served as accompanists, putting the finishing touches to a delightfully, well-rendered program.

(Staff Correspondence of the AFRO)
(Staff Correspondence of the APRO ORANGE, N. J., June 8. As the three candidates for the United States Senate enter into the three-quarter stretch in the primary which is to be held Tuesday, June 17, the fight begins to wax warmer, with Senator Frelinghuysen, as a result of his long years of experience, having the best of the argument, with both his white and colored constituents, throughout the state. The fact that the colored vote is lining up behind the Senator is attributed to his many meritorious deeds and acts for that group, while he was a member of the United

Air Corps Reserves Draw Racial Lines
Mitchell Field Officer Refers to Conditions at West Point
NEW YORK—The Air Corps Reserves staffing the Negroes in their ranks. An officer of the Second Corps Area, at Mitchell Field, LLI, made the following blunt statement:
"There never have been any Negroes in the ranks of the flying Reservists. There are none there now, and none will be tolerated in the future."
"How about the other Corps Areas?" he was asked.
"The policy is the same," this officer frankly declared. "In fact it is a policy of the Federal government. You may know how such things are handled at Annapolis. If a Negro does by any chance inside those institutions, he is handled smoothly and effectively disposed of in double-quick time. The method used is not objectifiable and works admirably. And we believe that it shall so continue."

Dr. Hargrave declared that Senator Frelinghuysen was approached by a number of Washington's leading citizens and asked to interest himself in a school for colored people, when he was a member of the State Senate. He declared that the Senator said to those who were interested in the school that the idea was a fine one and that he was willing to make a donation. He said the Senator Frelinghuysen was so eager to help the Senator became so interested in the school until the board of trustees named the school in his honor. The school referred to is Frelinghuysen University in Jackson. He said S.

PARISIANS APPLAUD HAMPTON SINGERS
Theatre de Champs-Elysées Audience Remains Seated as Program is Completed.
RETURN JUNE 5
Group to Appear at Salle Pleyel, Largest Paris Hall.
PARIS—The Hampton Choir of forty voices, headed by Dr. R. Nathaliel Dett, made its Paris debut before a highly appreciative audience at the Theatre de Champs-Elysées. At the close of the performance many in the audience sat in their seats, and shouted for more until other numbers, were given.
The girl singers clad in white and the men in black made an artistic sight. Their voices made such perfect music that at first one failed to notice the lack of musical accompaniment.
Most of the selections were well received, the spirituals especially so. The favorites being "Wouldn't Hear Nobody Pray," "All God's Chillung," and "Were You There?" Had there been more of the latter, and less of the technical pieces the performance would have been still a greater success. These technical pieces, while they brought out the best and showed the possibilities of the voices of the singers, somehow fell short on those in the audience, not trained to appreciate the finer music. The movement, however, that one of the limiting, gayer spirituals was sung, the entire audience burst into applause.
A connoisseur of music, with finely trained sensibilities, would have asked no longer treat, but the masses seem
A connoiseur of music, with innate trained sensibilities, would noiner treat, but the masses seem to prefer the kind of spirit just mentioned.
**Singing is Flawless**
Other selections that were well received are: "Sky So Bright, Do Be Weary, Traveler, and Lisci Do to the ambles, and the singing the flamenco, and very artistic, while the voices had all the freshness and spontaneity of youth. This performance, as well as the others is a real triumph for Dr. Dett."
The party has gone for Berlin, and we will return on June 5. to sing at Salle Pleau, the largest concert hall in Paris.

It'sNobody'sBusiness
THE SCENE was laid in a classroom of one of the local schools and the teacher was supplementing the lesson in current events by taking one of the daily newspapers and testing the children's knowledge by asking them to identify certain pages of the paper as he opened them up.
The happy faces of the children beamed as they almost fell over each other in the classroom. On one, the teacher's questions. One by one, the various pages were identified —market page, sports page, theatre, page, local page, and others, until the teacher came to the editorial room.
"saw a nice couple" the neighbors said, as the pair became older, and every one agreed that both would certainly college and even the
"And now," she said, "what little boy or girl will tell me which page this is that I am now pointing to?" Fewer hands than ever shot upward in response to this query, in several, nevertheless, and the teacher, little fellow who rarely ever took the trouble to answer any questions, said, "All right, Sammy, tell us what page this is." "That," spoke up Samuel, "is the page that you get the number from."
I Want to be With That Number
"Do you know," writes R. A. J. "that a certain paper has had a tremendous sales' increase following its publication last week of two week's winning cleanest paper in America." Here in Baltimore last week it was almost impossible to get an issue of the paper after eight o'clock and some dealers' some exections reported as them for as high as ten cents each. They retail regularly for three cents.
"On the other hand there were news agencies' one or two of the numbers books here, and at these stands, it is said, they destroyed the papers they had rather than sell them to their customers, or two of the numbers have written 'hit' on their books, or two of the white syndicates, I am told, refused to pay off, when the winning numbers, published, the tabloid, were hit. I understand that some of the backers have left

The church has to be taking a huge slice from the profits of the bankers, for there are people in Ha-Ha-Hahlem who think about saving their souls as long as thre is a leather-lunged ski.

He had violated a native code which sentenced the girl he held in the harsh hands. Why must this beautiful girl be delivered to this terrible wife whom had he committed that must be paid with a human life? Was there no escapar? See and hear the climax to this thrilling situation in this gripping drama. From the play by G. C. Dixon. Directed by Howard Bretherton.
at eleven, dressed in his best suit, and wearing a big Buster Brown collar, had played his first public violin solo at the church concert—and she accompanied him on the piano. The neighbors said, as the pair became older, and every one agreed that they would certainly be married. Both went away to college and even the added sophistication of the music, the separation failed the old love. Certainly, their love at first sight had lasted.
Shortly after his graduation he was taken down with a serious fever, and when his mother was not at his bedside the Girl He Loved could be found there, ministering to his needs. He recovered after a long siege and it seemed that marriage was near.
But her experience during his illness had wrought a change in her. "Let me go away and study to be a nurse," she said, and nothing that he said could rid her mind of the notion to become a trained nurse.
"Why can't we get married before you go?" he parried. She thought it over and they were sealed. He went to work with a will, scraping and saving that the little home he was buying would be comfortable for her—just like she always said she wanted it. Two years soon passed, however and graduation time for the nurses neared. Of course he was going away to see her graduate.
The same morning that he was to leave he received a telegram. It read: PLEASE DO NOT COME UNTIL SEND FOR YOU. But he caught the train just the same and rushed to the address that she had given him. She met him at the door and paled as she saw the
As he entered the hall he saw a pile of luggage near the hall tree, and noticed she wore a travele and noticed "What does he mean?" was all that he could say.
And then she told him all. While taking her practical training she had nursed back to health a rich girl and then took her to an extreme liking for her. He wanted her to marry him but she told him of her previous marriage. But that could be fixed he said, and then they would go west to Heartbroken, the boy listened as she unfolded this unusual tale. He was overcome with grief. The honk of a taxi broke the silence, and the girl, glancing at her watch, looked at the bookrack and took out an envelope that bore the lad's name. "Take this," she said, "don't open it until I have gone." And grabbing her luggage she took it. It was a bitter pill for the Boy Who Trusted to swallow, but he took his medicine like a man. He crumpled the envelope in his pocket and left the house. On the train returning home he opened the emerald. There was only one thing in it.
It was a check for five thousand dollars.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—C.N.S.) “In Abraham's Bosom,” a tragedy by Paul Green, concluded a series of dramatic productions which have been presented by little theatre groups this season as a feature of the social season. The play was presented by the Howard Players, of Howard University, and directed by evening, under the direction of Mrs. Leonae B. Dudley. Despite the superb acting of J. Percy Bond, Jr., whose interpretation of Abraham McCranie, an ambitious Negro who crushed influences of the poor whites during the anti-bellium days, was little short of perfect; and the splendid acting of Cornelia Reid, who proved the ability, the play fell far short of the expectations of those who witnessed the performance.
But discounting the artistic design should regard, at least to the extent that poor Abraham would not be sent out to do faultless acting with an arithmetic bound in the futuristic design, in 390 images scenes and the most difficult acting were the most satisfying bits of the show.

FETCHIT BALKS WHEN
SALARY IS WITHHELD
Screen Star Abruptly Closes Philly Engagement After Squabble with Manager.
"HARD TO HANDLE"
Fails to Appear at Baltimore Theatre Monday.
PHILADELPHIA,(Special)—Trouble between Stepin Fetchit, screen actor, and his white manager over the matter of salary caused the former to quit following a week's engagement at the Pearl Theatre here, last week. Fetchit, it is said, was to receive $2,500 for his week's work, but when he became temperamental and failed to draw as had been expected, one fourth of the money was withheld. Slavery Stark, white manager of the Pearl reports that Fetchit was harder to handle than any artist ever playing that house.
Drew Often on Salary
The star, it is explained, was frequently drawing on his salary and insisted upon being changed from eleventh position to program position. This change proved disastrous as the audience, after having seen the other acts would walk out when Fetchit's routine proved inferior to that of the preceding per-
Fechit's slow drawl, it is said, was slowing up the show considerably, and when he was asked to continue it, he refused. He was also asked to stop giving away books of the patrons rushed to books, receive a copy almost caused a riot. He is reported to have refused to comply with this request.
Manager Leases House
The star's manager, I. Robinson, white, had scheduled Fetch to play at the box, but when Robinson asked, but when the managers of that house haked on paying the salary asked, Robinson leased the house for the week and secured a
When Fetchit learned that he would be working for his manager and not for the Royal Theatre, he demanded the balance of his salary for his Philadelphia engager, full salary for his entitlement at the Baltimore house. This was known as early as last Wednesday, but nevertheless Fetchit was billed for an appearance at the Royal. When his salary was coming the city needed to leave, and the city, spending most of his time around the Pearl Theatre in home of obtaining the rest of his money.

PINCHELAS—Inez Clough, Vere E. Jones, and Jill B. Jones, the director of the Payde, Bayer Powell, Mr. Windel, Robert T. Murray, Horace Wilson, Junius Simmons, Alfred Harrison and others.
NEW ORK.—The less said about "De Proms' Lan," billed as "an ultral production" by the New Negro Art Theatre and presented by the National Negro Pageant Association at Carnegie Hall, on Tuesday, the better.
It was just one of those ghastly failures that should never have happened, even in the heart of Harlem, much less at Carnegie Hall. There are limits to putting one's self on the map, but the director so amateurish and incoherent a production as "De Proms' Lan," was the height of esplosion.
Music Best Part
In a performance that ran from nine oclock to eleven forty-five, the only persons or incidents worthy of mention were: the music, which was arranged by the theater which was directed by Charles Elgar; an emotional study in dance-form, depicting Life's struggle with Death, featuring Hensley Wintfield, whose voices overwhelmed all obstacles. The show opened with a scene in dark blues called "Along the River Congo," which was too evidently patterned after Vachel Lindsey's 1930s musical, the buisssal slave market which was utterly ruined by a roughish dancing spotlight. Then a number of strange dark interludes which contributed nothing were thrown in with the bright scenes, we arrived rather weary and hysterical to Mammy Triumphant (fine Clough as Mammy) with the World, represented by soldiers, boy scouts, girl scouts, hospital nurses, visiting nurses, Red Cross Nurses and nurses aid.
Show Drags
After each scene, we hoped against hope that Lieut. E. F. E. Williams, the managing director we were, was and let Charles Elgar take his grand band up on the stage and call it a night. The entire production was under the direction Hemsley Wilfaid, with the assistance of dialogue by Jeroline Hemsley. As for the audience, it was quite the smallest ever. The metropolitan uritic voiced the sentiment of the reviewers when he said:
"In failing to be impress at the same time that it was seized, D.P. Williams followed in the path of most similar attempts, which are, content to drowse until it is time to sing and dance. But the Hemsley Williams voiced even the reliable song and dance matters, regarding them apparently as vulgar intrusions in discussion. The few reviewers were harshly and insufficiently rendered, and the voices of de promis 'lan', in hawks and quartet numbers, proved to be less divine than in
"The director, Mr. Winfield, took time also to be a principal, in company with Ver. E. Johns and others. It was among Mr. Winfield's duties to interpret life a conflict with death, that discoverer of a broken building like a shadowy figures, all wishing obvious pain. The production as consistently in that spirit."

BULLETIN
LONDON—Despite adverse forecasts of showmen, "Othello," with Paul Robeson grossed $10,000 at the play, there is a healthy advance demand. The play is scheduled to run at least until the end of July. Four offers, it has been reported, have been received for a Broadway run.
Paul Robeson has scored a great triumph in Othello, and the European press is resounding with praises of him.
The London Daily Express in art criticism Swafford "Paul Robeson destroyed the foolish idea accepted for many years that Iago is the better part in "Othello." He triumphed as a Moor black woman in the dark deep color . . . A wonderful audience cheered Robeson's triumph. Colored people sat dotted about the house. Mrs. Paul Robeson sat in the house. Walpole, Famous players were there by the dozen. One editor walked out after the third act, saying that he did not like being near colored people, there was no murmur that I heard.
"Robinson art conquered everything. Why should a black actor be allowed to kiss a white actress? I hear a few people say beforehand."
"There was no protest of that kind in the theatre. Five or six times before the last act, full on the lips, three times short when she was lying in bed, just before he murdered her. "It was in the part and that was that." Performance is Moving The Daily Telegram says: "Great triumph for Roberson. Mr. Roberson's expectation and is really a memorable performance. "Mr. Roberson comes of a race whose characteristic is to keep compulsion and after that to throw control to the winds. And so when the madness of jealousy seizes him, the end of the road, we have no doubts concerning the genuineness of his passion. He is borne away helpless on the tide of passion and the rest follows inevitable."
Robeson a Teacher
The London Times devotes two articles to Robeson each a new full column. One contains a brief biography, and the other accounts of his performance. It saves: "Not to fall at Othello an actor must thrill our nerves and shake our hearts. Criticism coming to this play requires careful scrutiny, it cannot exactly tell where, between goodness and badness, and need not pretend to be grateful for a performance that is only in some respects and in some detail, mainly on the right side of the borderline teaches us that Othello on the stage means something more to us than Macbeth, Hamlet, or Shakespeare; before our eyes is more mainly exciting and terrible than theirs.
One Disseñer Founder London Daily Mail: Malcolm Parsons plays himself in his playing the part, on the ground that a Moor is not a Nerro.
"I have the greatest admiration for Mr. Robeson both as a man and as a playwright, his Othello is the most significant, especially in the passionate scenes."
"Yet the man was a Moor, and not an Ethiopian, and though I was continually muddled the nobility of his actin I had throughout a disquieting feeling that it was not quite right and that this was not the real Othello." (The Bible Edition) says "The Bible Edition" Tribute (Paris edition) says: Robeson made us feel that it was a tracedy of racial conflict, a tracedy of honor, rather than of leaslon. Dignified Robeson made stage history."
"Pop Bottle" Hubby's Paris Club Closes
Eugene Newton, Recently Divorced by Dolores Ford, White, Forced to Close After Ten Days
PARIS—Eugene Newton's nightclub has closed down after a brief run of only ten days.
Eugene Newton have been given by those who are supposed to know among them being: not enough financial backing and no money to use, must however, is lack of patronage. The tourists are few for this time of the year, and are not enough to go around for the man-made attractions.
It is to the chorus, which had been extensively advertised, it has gone to th. Embassy, where it has been engaged, it is said, for a run of two
weeks before Newton's club was one of the finest in Paris and no expense had been spared to fit it out luxuriously. It is the former "Gatety," and this makes the second night club, the Trocadero, another night club. The Trocadero, formally "Josenhine Baker's," has also closed, it is said, for a few days.

Hummin Interest Sturry.
For two years they worked just across the street from each other. About the same time every morning the teacher was gathering their hot cakes and coffee with a cherry "Hello," as they kept their eyes glued on the big clock behind them. They slept up before them and then the respective office. He was wrapped up in his work and so she was. The boy was singled out for promotion and shipped to another town before he returned. At that same restaurant the girl and he met again. There was something different as they met, and something that neither could explain. "I was a blind fool," the boy almost cursed as he boarded the train to leave at the end of a glorious week. "Why didn't I realize how much I care?" were all those years we ate together. "It's too late now," said the girl. "I tried to make you know and wait for you, but I'm married now." "I love, forever," said the boy. "so am I."
Things I'd Like to Do:
Carry a cane on Druld Hill Avenue with the nonchalance of Ben Davis, the illustrated Feature Mag editor.
Have a chauffeur to drive me arrived by Bishop A. L. Gaines.
Take like George Bias, the "phoney-graph" and radio crooner.
Take life as easy and enjoy it as thoroughly as Reggie Moore, the man about town.
Laugh myself out of precarious situations like the Rev. W. W. Allen.
The Prettiest Romance I Ever Knew.
One of the prettiest romances that I know about look place in a hospital. A young column-writing fellow, who fever summers ago, and by many miles from home, was carried to the old Provident Hospital here. The doctor informed that he was going the way of all flesh that they began to tip-toe around the bed and watch. the clock so they could tell his folks the exact hour for the library. Wendy Wonderls, for the old Provident Hospital, he recovered. All because a little student nurse whom he visualized through those half-closed eyes of a child, she flitted around his bed, gave him something to live for. Two weeks after he recovered, they were married. For two years they were married, and for another hour their romance a dark secret all the while. She graduated last week with honors—playing a good joke on smoozy girls and making boys say this can't study in their old hospital. Heh! Heh!
The Saddest Romance I Ever Knew.

She was the type that always seized a chance to throw money our way; keep it in her purse, which might good or bad humor, and was generally a good pal. Every evening she would cross off a number on the calendar and explain that each day crosses off brought her closer to her wedding day. She was within two days of that eventful date when she went for a swim, a spain, a beach while making a long swim water, a fast motor boat struck her and she disappeared. On her wedding day, they found on the body, many tears. The churn-like propeller had completely severed her head from her body.
Dan Likes America.
Daniel Vinn is a native of South Africa. He shipped into town on a Dutch trading vessel and got his first taste of America in a pool room. He fleeced him out of every nickel he possessed with a trick so simple that a babe would not have fallen. With no money and being unable to teach English very well, Dan got lost and when he finally found his way to the dock, the ship had gone. They were tearing down the old Academy Theatre to replace the digging on the night shift. About four oclock one morning, as Dan was digging far away from the crowd a man stood over him. He had long, white whiskers and disappeared suddenly. Dan got out, so he quit and never went back. He got a job washing dishes in a restaurant and got fired because he did not know the boss when he said something he did not like.
Dan got married and gave his wife all of his money. When he had money, he bought a second-hand automobile, he asked her for it and found that she had sent it all to her mother in the family and lived off of it. He quit her. Dan wasn't worried because he had a wife and two children in South Carolina. Dan is going on looking for jobs and women. He likes America.

RIOT IN PHILLY
Police Battle Crowds Awaiting Train Bringing Papers.
BY LEONARD MASSENBURGE
PHILADELPHIA—The corner of 15th and Market Streets was "taken" by a crowd of 3,000 men Sunday night, that theyough and wanted to buy a copy of the New York paper, which carries the clearing house "number."
Numbers players from all sections of the city began to gather at 11 o'clock, some passing the time away sitting in the waiting room of the railroad station watching the clock, showing a moment of the newsstand, while a large crowd watched the gate in the train shed.
Police Battle Crowd
Fifteen minutes after eleven the crowd became so large that people leaving the station to catch the subway were able to follow their way through. Not to be outdone, 600 or more who had waited battled with the station police, who were protecting the man who carried a bundle of canes from the New York train that had just arrived in small, small, reached his newsstand and the battle was on. He sold out in a short time, while others tried to get in and leave. All the papers were sold, people were leaving the scene in all directions for down town, as it was rumored that the police had at Broad and South Street.
Wait for Next Train
In the meantime, 300 or more waited in the station and train shed for the next train from New York. At Broad and South Street stations, 300 or more gathered to buy the paper. Clearing house number "725," which appeared in a comic strip of the paper, brought in a large number of many more did not collect. Monday morning the newspaper was sold out at the majority of the newstands.
Bankers Flee Washington
In Washington two white and one colored number bars have fled and several others are broke as a result of the phenomenal "hic" of a number given as a hot tip by a New York newspaper, upon which local players beaten. In their pockets are the thousands of dollars won by them in less than three years from numbers players and lost by them in a single day due to the heavy odds and twenty-five was the number which broke several number banks and caused bankers unwilling to pay off the enormous sums due their players, to flee the city in danger and several hundred lucky persons to bank winners ranging from $6 to $1,300 and totaling nearly $100,000 all in exchange-for bets at 600 or 700 to one odds, which yielded five dollars, five dollars, and even ten dollars. The following day caused further grief, for the "pay-off" number, also a tip of the New York paper, came back with the same themselves hard hit. All bets were covered, this time, however.

ANSEL CLARK
Slave, soldier, constable, deputy sheriff, humane officer—around these titles revolve the life and history of Ansel Clark of the little city of age, Clark. Bold, bie feeble, with the lines well drawn about his face, this former slave who is now county humane officer is, in the flesh, only an image of his picture when he was aged ago. But his spirit has not suffered; it may have been mellowed by age but it is still vigorous.
He has had an eventful life, and was exceedingly energized during the prison camp near Arkansas in the thick of the fray and returned to his master's home in Mississippi; but courage and determination helped him to Augusta, Ga., and joined the Northern forces. He has been jack-of-all-trades, having chopped trees, cooked and carved the skin and exposed to the fire of the enemy.
clearing house numbers, at odds of 600 to 700 to one. The game has flourished here for three years despite intensive drives by the office of the District attorney and the local police department. Nearly a score of men have been made wealthy by operating numbers games, and hundreds of others serve as "thieves." The "thieves" are in control of circumstances as a re-creation of the extensive gambling.

The Rise and Fall of Concrete BY SYLVAN DROW
Despite the Fact that His Face is Painfully Lacerated, Concrete Fights the Hardest Battl of His Career.
CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK
LAST INSTALLMENT
As was his nightly custom. Concrete visited Jennie at her home, which was near the outskirts of the city.
"Hello, big boy," she greeted. "How you feeling? I'm my Black Beauty. I'm in the mind of condition and it's just another" workout for your he-man.
And Concrete grinned as only he could grin.
He joyfully sat on the sofa and Concrete lost little time in whispering the words: every woman loves to hear, whether white, black, yellow, or red!
It was past ten o'clock when Concrete finally left his dumbbell. Usually he staved until past midnight, but Manager Wright insisted that he be in the last minute on his previous to his fights.
Just as Concrete reached a lumberard, two masked men, with guns, stepped out: one spoke harshly:
Into the lumber yard. Concrete was marched. Although he was taken by surprise, he was able to more realize that his life was to be burner. In the yard were three men, also masked, and they speed wickedly as Concrete stood.
"You're due for a buggy ride," he declared in a rassling voice!
"What for?" asked Concrete.
"Iaint not done!n!." It voussé want my money, voussé want my money, voussé want the fireworks. "But I can't huh? Well, you will when were through with you."
With that, the leader, who was none other than Cropse, burns the Burana's right-hand, uninjured the leaden tied the black boy's wrists behind his back. He was then led to a wall in a remote part of the vard. "All right, boys. ordered the leader." Concrete was powerless to prevent what happened. Fiss. covered with "horseshoe" rings, cut his face to one word. Not one word was uttered by any of the men, nor did that if he velled, a bullet would finish him. The last Concrete remembered was a black-faced descending upon his head.
Ted Wright was pacing up and down the dressing room of the Twight Boxing Arca. Never had the maneuver been so worried. He could not understand why he was so nervous to sit in the room the night before. It was now ten o'clock and the semi-windup was half over. Wright had managed, somehow, to keep the Jews of the community coming public, for he had implicit faith that his fighter would appear in time. Ted had spoken to jomie, but it was beyond her to know why her sweetheart had not been seventeen. Wright groaned as he attended at his watch. Any man who the semi-final would be over, Suddenly, he turned towards the door. It opened, and in the Conversation Concrete from the one who had left him the previous night. He was swathed in bandages; one eye was completely closed, the other half-way; his nose was four times its normal size and his eyes were full for life. Tell me, please, velled Wright.
"Tell me. quick." velled Wright. "ohs happened."

"And," the fisher concluded. "I was picked up this morning by two workers of the lumber company in the hospital, where they bandaged me up. I did not come to until a short time ago. I slipped one of the white coat boys a saxophone and let me loose. "I was taken to the hospital. "Yasah, they didn't touch my mom." Well well get to the bottom of that later. I think it best to ask for a postponement and sacrifice our $4,000 for利息 money." "No sub!" declared the black boy. "er jr," I smack this fight-owner prompter.

this town's rallies presented you with." "Listen," declared Concrete in a slow even voice, as the thin tonight to show that a real champion fights."
Wright looked into the champion's eyes. They were hard and there was that manner about him which fordistort that it would be useful. Concrete slowly unwound the bandages and drew his bathrobe collar over his head. Wright smiled. "Gee." he breathed to himself. "I'd give my left eve for Mike Gibbons to see my champ to kneel." Concrete kept his head lowered as he walked down the aisle. The cheers rang out, for the fans as well as the newspaper, and suddenly he led by the "fightiest" champion of them all.
A few moments later. Concrete went to the center of the ring to receive instructions from the team. Concrete led by the referee, for he knew that should the referee see his face, the fight would be postponed.
Back in his corner. Concrete faced Wright, his robe still protecting his face from the wind. The tamer in Concrete faced and dashed to the other side of the ring and took the Turkish champion by complete surprise. A right cross to the head and a left to the bottom had Almend gassing for breath. "My God." cried a sports writer who had covered boxing bouts for the last twenty years. "Look at Concrete's face." The face of the fans, as well as other correspondents, had viewed Concrete's profile just quickly.
The referee bit his lib. as he realized that he had pulled a blunder by throwing Concrete to the ground. Concrete one hadn't even discussed it. Well, he'd stop this boat right now.
But Concrete had other ideas. He had figured, in his own way, that the referee would have been better suited to saw his face. So there was only one thing to do, a speedy knockout—one that was prate. The referee raised his hand to also Concrete on the back, the colored boy shot over a terrific right to the point of the chin, and Turkvac's hones for a world's champion were eliminated right there and then as far as the middleweight division was contested.
The ovation Concrete received was one which lasted over ten minutes. Here was a man who had entered the ruta when he should have been in publicity, had informed a few of the front seat boys and the press how his champion had been cowardly attacked. It may well be imaginative, but he had spread around the arena.
Concrete was carried to his dressing room, where he noted that his forehead had Wright left him. There was a knock at the door, and an attendant informed the victor that Miss Jensen had taken his sanctum. Five minutes later, Iqne photographer, was vibrant with excitement, as he made his way to the room of Concrete Brown. Middleweight Champion of the World, and Jennie White, in a famous clench! he entered upon the blushing couple.
"Give us a shake. Mr. Wright, whispered Concrete. "We're enraged." "Been expectin' it! Here's wishing you, you fuck and a Concrete hour in time." Concrete hastily changed the subject by inculping where Tod had been. "Oh," said the manager with a glint in his eyes. "I saw Wilie Burns and I had a long talk with him. He's on his way to Canaan. I mentioned that he was the man behind the job when you received that lacing last night and after pumping him, he admitted it." Concrete groaned.
"Why didn't you tell me. Mr. Wright: I have certainly given him a trip to the hospice. Ten minutes alone in the room with him and I'd say my depression."
"I know, concrete." soothed Wright. "how you feel. But I let him go for old time's sake. I didn't wait while and I didn't relish sending him to jail."
A laugh rang out. And Wright
placed.

Time brings many changes, and it did in Concrete Brown. He continued to win battle after battle, but success had gone completely to his head. He tasted the fruits of the King and enjoyed every moment immensely. He became unruly and uncontrollable. Wright was powerless to do anything with him. And as for training, that was virtually a thing of the past, unless it was just, for the benefit of newspaper men or to show his prowess for his Queen. Wright would have given him the "gate," but his business acumen rebelled, for, after all, Concrete was a champion, and all one was making money for him. After a procession of arguments, Wright decided to let his idol go his own way, hoping against hope that Concrete would some day come to his senses.

As for Jennie White, she gloried in her position. Life was all honey to her. Concrete gave her elaborate gifts, and anywhere she was colored, the champion's sweetheart, Other colored maidens gave her envious glances, which Jennie White love—more than she loved Concrete Brown. But he never knew that for he continued to spend his life on his behalf without a thought the future, when he would be King no more.
One day Wright walked into a restaurant, when he heard Concrete's voice. The Negro champion was speaking in a rasty tone to a waiter. "Awful!" "What's awful, sir?" asked the waiter.
"The fall—and you, too!" And Concrete saw his fist into the poor helpless waiter's face. Down on crushed with a dozen dishes on top of him.
"You all knew the fish was awful. Next time I come in again you give me good fish, or they'll fish you out of the Hudson River."
Wright said. To hit a disaster man was an outrage, and the manager told Concrete so.
"Oh, yeh. Well, ain't that just too bcc." And he turned on his heel and walked out.
Wright left the restaurant immediately not until he had given the waiter a five dollar bill and paid for the dishes.
Two days later. Wright matched his battler with Dusky Rhodes. another colored puzzler. who was com-mon-ing with the waiter his last eighteen fights. When Wright told Concrete of the match, all Concrete said was, "I guess I'll knock him out easy."
Wright said he will—"shot back his manager quickly." "This boy's good and I advise you to start training."
"You can advise, but that's all. for I ain't gonna train till I get ready. see?"
Wright smiled. "I expected that. After this fight's over, you get a new manager. I can." "All right, all right. I don't need no manager no how. I can manage my own affairs. I can."
"Well, we'll see."
There was tense silence as Concrete Brown stepped through the ropes of the Twilight Boxing Club. He was a man of principle cheered and shouted. Their idol was again going to give them the action they had looked forward to so many daws. He was full of smiles as he stood in his corner. He was happy. He was thinking. "With this money I get for this fight and what other money I have to pay," he said. "With this battle, I'll be able to marry jennie." His eyes rolled.
Wright was taping Concrete's left hand and had started to reach on his hoose groan. Quickly Wright looked at Concrete. The man had turned almost pink. His eyes were on the hoose. He turned the ring in the opposite corner.
"What's wrong?" asked Wright anxiously.
"Who's that man?" "Dusky Rhodes. The man you're to fetch."
"Oh," exclaimed Concrete. "That's Imgrt. Robbins!"

Just then Dusky Rhodes walked up to the shaking Concrete and said: "I see you all recognize me, doncha?"
Concrete did not answer. "Wow!"

This is an interior view of Gumby's Negro Library. In the background are the quiet and odd volumes which he possesses.
By JOHN W. DOUGLAS
Let those who consider the keeping of scrap-books a children's pastime, pay attention to this story of Alexander Gumby. This man started compiling scrap-books twenty two years ago—little items that he thought worth saving. Of course since he is a colored man his clippings are in a large part concerned with the doings of Negroes. It was not long before Gumby had become familiar with facts about the Negro race, facts that were little known to most of his friends. It was here that our friend stumbled on a sad truth.
He found that Negroes, even those relatively well informed, had a very meager knowledge of Negro history. He was not a scholar, he decided to collect all of the race items that he could, regardless as to whether they referred to the past, present or future of the Negro race. That idea was the basis of the Gumby that he described in the Negro depicted in scrap books. What a wonderful collection of items about Negroes this man has! Within the compass of sixty odd folios he has massed in his library, he has been the Negro in Nigeria, slavery, Haiti, Liberia, current history, art. politics, crime, anthropology, drama, music, the N.A.A.C.P. and pugilism. There he has been Jack Johnson, Dr. DuBois, Frederick Douglass and

fight now had scared him horribly. On the other hand, Rhodes was still grimming.
The song!
Dusky leaped at Concrete and smashed him on his chin! Down went Concrete. He managed to arise at eight. Rhoces was at the like; and anointed Concrete on the required ten. The referee counted the required ten. What Rhodes had said had come true—only two punches were necessary.
The crowd was astonished, and after recovering his surprise, his champion and almost as quickly forgot the man who had given the more than their money's worth dozens of times.
When Concrete came to, saw Jennie White in Dusked corner. He walked and angrily, "What here, Jennie."
"Go away, man." she said. "Dusky is my old sweetheart. I married him today."
Concrete was heartbroken. His air cascades had fallen, and all that remained were bitter memories. In the dressing room. Wright watched as Concrete, who acted like a child, exchanged the exchampion's eyes were filled with tears and his mouth twiced. Finally he looked up.
"I'm sorry. Mr. Wright, for the way I awarded you. Will you forgive me."
"Sure. Concrete," spoke Wright. "I'm with you. We can start over again. As a fightin' track at the title, I will attend to that believe me."
Concrete smiled sadly. "Thank you."
I. Wright but I reckon I've got enough.
I'm going back back home.
South. "I'll return."
"No, I'm good."
Their hands clasped warmly, and Tod Wright. for the first time in his life, was unable to utter a word, and was the reason. When Concrete Brown passed through the door, he left Tod Wright for the first time in his managerial career, crying to himself and whispering, "What a fighter he was!"

Our purpose will be to mention some of the interesting things that Gumby has collected just to show what his secretive nature has given him. We have all given receipts for the sale of goods but how many have seen receipts given for the sale of human beings. Gumby exhibited a paper yellowed with age which acknowledges that he was a millionaire for the sale of a Negro female slave.

For the commission of this crime, Storrs was sentenced to three months in prison, and the part of the Almanac there is a picture of a Negro mother killing her children.

Forty-five years ago when Renold Renfro was working in the Mississippi cotton fields, he suddenly decided that he had been meant for a much more substantial purpose; so he threw off the chains which bound him to a hum-drum existence and set out to make the world recognize his artistic talent. How he conceived a way of doing this and the degree of success he has achieved provides an intensely interesting story, considerably stranger than the usual story of success. Renold Renfro at the age of twenty-two was employed at a brickyard

have them grow up in the bonds of slavery. Of course, in dealing with this subject, one cannot live with life as a newspaper writer. Gumby has a small pamphlet, published in 1860 which prints in full the famous Cooper Union speech of Lincoln. Perhaps some readers remember the sad tragedy of the newspapers printed special editions edged in black mourning. These editions are regarded as rarities today because so few are left. Our time with the newspapers issues of the New York Herald, published from the time Lincoln was shot, until the day he was buried at Springfield, Illinois. Letters of great personages are always interesting to genealogists; writers often reveal traits and angles of their character that are little known to the general public. While looking through the various folios, we saw several original letters written by Negroes whose

Of our readers are interested in pugilism. I do not know, but Gumby's scrap book on Nero pugilists is worthy of note, aside from its sporting interest. Johnson has recently arduely added a signature to box Jeffries, the whole country was in a furor.
On turning the pages of this particular book we came across a clipping taken from the article was intended to show the difference between Johnson and Jeffries, from the view point of science. It was a book of both men as contrasted with the profile of an ape. Jeffries was held to be further developed from the ape type, alleged great stranger to the ape type, alleged difference between Johnson and the ape. The inference was that Jeffries was the more intelligent and would easily defeat his opponent. Of course, at Reno it is well known.

The American Negro is rapidly being recognized as a powerful actor. Just recently, the Academy announced that Paul Robeson will play Othello in that famous play of Shakespeare's. Do not forget how ever that phone drama, The Tailor of Elm Street, played the part of Othello many years ago. He was a famous thespian at a time only white men could afford, and consequently play Nero parts. Consequently Aldridge's rendition of the part was superior to many of the burnt-cork whites who essayed the

His work consisted principally in pushing a wheelbarrow filled with clay and dumping it. only to return posthaste for a second helping. The large bed of moving steel elevated several hours for as little as one dollar a day.
This work was somewhat uncommon, so Renold Renrof found it not only enticing but profitable. He then came up with an idea which clung tenaciously to the back of his brain and from which he could not, to save himself, completely escape the situation. The other hands were enclosed in shade spots where the glaring sun could not beat down upon them. Renold Renrof found something else that he accomplished. Then the time arrived when he decided to make the lon: contemplated disclosure to his foreman, and he unintentionally accomplished. Moreover, he demonstrated the truth of what he said

by displaying a beautiful piece of exotic pottery—a vase.
The foreman then scratched his head spat out a chew of long-ranged straw, and said: "Do you mean to tell me you did that?" and the manner in which he bluntly voiced the question was anything but reassuring to Retroli. Renold Renfo nodded to him, during the same interval, that he had better stick up for himself. Anyhow, a man of his ability had no reason to submissiveness. "Yes sir," he pronounced with surprising vigor, "this vase is the result of an experiment covering two years; and the idea be-dered downright purity. But-do you how you can repeat the operation with any degree of success? In other words, can you take this clay here like we use to make brick, duplicate this vase you got here?"
Renold Renfro nodded acknowledgment. You see, this ambitious youth had already mastered his multi-function of act of action, was going to pursue, and there was no occasion for excitement. He promptly left his job there at the brickyards and moved to another place where he has been there ever since.
Fashion in pottery change as rapidly as the creations of feminine attire; and one needs a display of unqualified pottery to convince one that Renold Renft, is more than equal to scrap-books of the late Theodore Roosevelt, so as to discover new ideas for the safe keeping of his chippings. His enthusiasm has become so contagious that he is studio 144 Fifth Avenue, New York City, is filled with friends discussing Negro achievements.

the most-prolific efforts of our modern govern designers.
During the summer months of the year and frequently in the wind's hundreds of tourists visit this picture-esque spot in Southeast Missouri, and leave with the picture clinging. Like a leach, to their minds—the picture of the unusual phenomena of trees sprouting battery from their branches, grassy bulks which are antiquated log cabins, smoky kilns, and the pleasant face of the molder of clay—indeed a picture to be remembered.
Here at this pottery plant, one sees an intensely interesting parade of pitchers, vases, trays, candlesticks, urns, ousts and figures of ancient stashmen, and the heroes of mythology pass within range of one's observation.
The first favorable impression is one that cannot be shaken off. No matter where your travels have taken you, no matter into what country you have gone, you realize that you have never seen before such a conglomeration of artistic accomplishments as these which have been carved from these crude materials.
Additionally one beholds practical earthware which should be used in the kitchen of the modern home, and in the same way as the mysterious mound outliers. This assortment of ornaments and ingenious objects is nearly arranged in conspicuous location; the most striking feature of these objects dart when once they have been carefully examined; still Renold Renfro does not sell by mail, nor does he respond to interrogative letters. Every piece of pdc-mosaics is sold there on the old home place. There is a glamour of romance woven about the fantastic shapes, the motley colors, the heads of the figures, the faces of wind about the life of the talented dark-skinned artisan. It has required strength of character, determination, the conquering of fear, the courage of dreams of forty-eight years ago, but that is what Renfro has achieved.
Located on a country road three miles from the noises of a traffi-
bated town where in it all seems to be water in the summer time
silver fish splash in the cool waters of deep streams and where brown
gloom thickens when the twilight comes, and where white flowers bloom in the night, these marvellous pieces of art grace the spaces.
The potter maker has traveled extensively in quest of further knowledge but has allowed nothing to interfere with the originality of its pots.
A piece of Renfro pottery is as unmistakably distinct as the machinery with which it is made. The fire that heats and hardens the clay has let it shine and face of the admirable worker
There is the rattle, the clang, the ripping tear of machinery; the brittle, the crumbling, the excess fluid of hooffeetes of the tireless drought horses traveling their end.

Governor's Records Disclose Lynched Man Once a Hero
(By Chris Stallings for the Associated Negro Press).
COLUMBIA, S. C.—That Allen Green, the fifty-year-old man who was dragged from the Oconee County jail, on the night of April 23, and lynched by a group of savage whites, was once proclaimed a hero, was disclosed when the records of the governor's office concerning a petition for his parole eleven years ago were made public.
According to the petition, on at least two occasions the lynched man's herolism during fires, practically saved the whole town from destruction and while he was serving a thirteen-year sentence in prison he also provoked himself a hero and a loyal prisoner to his warden. In fact, his conduct at the prison stamped him valuable status and matter of protecting prison breaks and in protecting the lives of those in charge of the institution.

Thi: man, who as a young man had saved the town from destruction and who was paroled eleven years ago, was the victim of the lynchers who made sport of his record and killed him at the same tree under which he had received his parole, leaving the following note:

This bout is scheduled for ten rounds. Sow Flakes has been a consistent winner in all of his appearances in the East and has several keyes to his credit. Edwards, a real tough specimen, boasts of a punch that carries destruction when it

These boys, who will be recalled, are the chaps who went in as substitutes the last outburst, were called the audience and accepted the bout without any previous training, and performed so well that the fans wanted them rematched.

SOX PLUCK DAISIES IN TWO HOLIDAY TILTS
Darby Nine Bites Dust in Decoration Day Encounters by 2-1 and 5-3 Scores.
Paige and Lee Prove Masters
Midst Smoke of Battle.
By ERNEST VARLACK
PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—The largest crowds of the season gathered at Hildale Park in Darby on Decoration Day, to see the Darbybites drop both the morning and afternoon games to the Baltimore Black Sox. The first game which treated the fans to one of those old time pitching duels, was dropped, but In and In battled the bats to 5 to 3. In the morning battle the Sox scored one in the second after Dixon doubled and was caught off second. Suttles was hit by a pitched ball and stole second and scored on an error.
Suffles Scores Winning Run
The Sox added what proved to be the winning counter in the fourth when Suttles singled, went to second on one side and scored on a long side in Washington. Hildale got its lone tally in the seventh when Burbage tripled and scored on Bick Mackey's long sacrifice in the eighth. The game with a spectacular running one-hand catch of a hard hitter. Both Oscar and Lee twirled excellent ball. Lee le汀ing Hildale down on the Sox, and Oscar giving the Sox only seven.
Sox Score Early in No. 2
In the afternoon game the Sox started with a rush scoring three tallies in the first half, and both scored on Lackey's error of Dixon's grounder. Suttles doubled scoring Dixon. Lundy sacrificed Suttles to the third and the Sox added another run when Wilson singled. Dixon was safe on Burbage's error. Suttles hit into a double and Lundy singled.
Paige Scores Lundy
The Black Sox got their final tally in the sixth when Paige, the pitcher, came through with an unexpected hit that scoreed 100. The sixth and eighth innings Hilldale came to life and scored three tails. Dallard doubled. Burbage tripped, scoring Dallard. White was safe on Warfield's second hit. Hankey scored them with a long double. The pitching of Paige was excellent except in the eighth innings.

Infield Muffs Make Wilberforce Lose
Thirteen Errors Made Behind Good Pitching at Buries Hole, 13-6
WILBERFORCE O.—Gail Johnson, freshman recruit, in his first start pitched a no-hit game for three innings, allowed eleven for the entire frame, and struck out eight. He also pitched all to no avail as thirteen infield errors caused Wilberforce to lose to Cedarville Thursday at Wilberforce, 7-9.
Homers by Terry and Poore scoring Jeffries and Thornillie in addition, additional scattered hits, couldn't win over errors, where not a single infield ball was fielded without a fumble. Wilberforce was ahead in the sixth and seventh inning. Cedarville scored four runs, all from singles and doubles on errors.
At the last of the ninth, with Wilberforce tralling by two markers, Johnson singled, Terrell walked; Jefferies's sacrifice fly caught Johnson off second in double play with Terry curtaining the melee with a long fly to center field which Lawless nabbed.

In this space, provided for my ravings, just a little more than fifty-two colony ages, this department gave suggestions for attaining publicity, since one or two schools had kicked in what it termed "unfavorable publicity." At that time, on one it pointed out that of all the schools in the country, only one, that one a well-known institution in Alabama, had any conception of publicity service was supposed to do.
That statement is just as true today, as I look vainly through my copy basket for news from certain schools. And when the word "news" is used, it has the element of timeliness predominate; true stories, giving little personal glimpses of athletics as they really are, information that poor sports scribblers are often denied the opportunity to would be in order, as well as the general public context.
Regardless of how enterprising the sepian press may be, there are many things of interest missed, that might find their way, particularly into the sports pages, if someone only recognized them as news and sent them in. How many athletes will Whositok lose by graduation? What are the prospects for basketball at Nonesuch College. If this number of stars is to be graduated?

High school boys in the high jump and pole vault are making the college records of ours look silly.
NOTHER evidence of the hard row which the dark brother has to hoe, is given in the downward editorial statement from the University of W. Va.) Post, a white daily, in reference to the color line drawn when the University of Pittsburgh participated in a track and field meet at West Virginia University last week.
Says the Post:
"Arrangements for the state high school and 'big four' track and field meet here last week-end left little to be expected in one particular. The University of Pittsburgh team included in the Negroes, who were the best athletes competing in the big four meet. They are admitted to the University of Pittsburgh on a basis of equality with all other students. They compete in intercollegiate athletics on a similar basis. And yet when the Pitt squad arrived in Morgantown, the manager was unable to find any hotel accommodations for the two Negroes and it was necessary, we are told, for a man to be on Morgantown and the university as a host. If it is willing to accept Negroes as components in an athletic contest, it ought to see that satisfactory accommodations are provided for them during their stay here."
Then you wonder, at times, why certain athletes don't make such a good showing on certain occasions. And in cases like this one, it is the host who is to be blamed. There is no reason why, if the private citizens of the town refused these athletes admittance to their business, the university couldn't make arrangements to ac-
Certainly there was "room in the inn" on the campus. You know that as well as I. The University of Pittsburgh bears a part of the blame also, for the entire team could have refused to participate unless accommodations were provided. Dark skins, however, must face these obstacles on every hand. Of whenever instances of you stop to regard to our attention, but when you stop to consider you find that it is "just another one of those things" as the boys on the corner say. The south is still rotten and you can't get away from the smell.

OU can say what you please about the good of having organized baseball, and you will probably be able to present some strong arguments against the game, but if you'll stop a match you can talk with club owners, this pillar believes that you will find as strong an argument as you want for a league in the box office reports.
Baseball crowds have been small this season, and believe it or not, many of the fans are staying away because there is no league. To show that the clubs are fighting for the pennant and to compare the limited averages that are published, has meant more to many fans than this. It may be interesting to know then, that plans are already under Continued on Page Fifteen, Col. 2

Renold Retro discussed how some women visitors declared they would not soil their hair when they went out, yet as he pointed out so clearly, those very same women would go to the nearest beauty parlors and pay exorbitant prices to have clay put upon their faces, shades were brought forth from the ground—the vivid contrast between the finished product and the crude ways of achieving that same; the ash beams in about 100,000 pieces from the crotch of a tree a diabolicly grimming fuzz by a wire, yet artistic to the last degree.
And therein lies success, though not in the age of accumulated skill but rather in the weight of real accomplishment.
Renold Renfro as done much to establish the talents of a colored man who for a long time was deprived of the advantages necessary to count of an artistic career, but he has come through on sheer pluck alone.

Morgan Runners Absent
Loo Woods was the long representative of Morgan College, the Bears, winners of the meet last year having an inter-class meet of them own that conflicted. Absence of the Morgan athletes made the competition rather uneven and as a result the comparative times and distances were unusually slow, although there were four records broken. Two brooklyn marks fell, Robinson of Vocational, leaping 14 feet, 4 inches in the under 120-pound, and Bob Marshall, Douglas High School star, hurting himself a distance of 21 feet, $4\frac{1}{2}$ inches in the senior unlimited division.
Woods Breaks Record

Take the Black Sox, for instance. They have won 31 of 34 games played, and find it practically impossible to bring more than one or two teams in that will really give some worthwhile opposition. The Lincoln Giants, without a league, won't come out of New York on Sunday, and it is unlikely that the Homestead Grays will come in the season, if at all.
Hilldale, and the Cubans, then, are the only clubs, with the exception of some white clubs, that will give the Sox any opposition. Consequently, the fans stay away from the Cubans, but be no close competitor and can't blame them much. The same crowd will be fair on certain Sundays, they are far below the average crowd when the league was functioning.

Under the plan to put clubs in Richmond and Norfolk, the Sox, Lincoln and Hilldale would each lend two or more of their players to the present team, and would be sent from some of our colleges, build up a worthwhile outfit. The plan has its merits and there are others besides this writer who are anxious to see it given a trial.

New York Fight Fans Await Johnson-Latzo Return Bout
Different Outcome Expected when Larrupin' Larry Tangles with White Foeman.
NEW YORK. (ANP)—The indoor fight season closed, all of the small clubs are counting their losses. None of them could show a profit on the worst season yet. But Jess McMahon of the Olympia Club is looking forward to recuperating with the opening of Ebbets Field this month.
He has two good matches booked for the eleventh, the second fight to be held at the late hair of the doughy Italian, Humbert Fugazy. The first fight on June 4, will see Sid McReries meeting Bade Malik, but no story of this fight can be complete without a reference to one of the cagest managers in the game. who has two sterling welterweights in his stable.

Await Johnson Fight
But the fight which Negro fans anticipate with no little enthusiasm is the card showing Larry Johnson and Pete Latoz in a return match; also Harry Smith against Yale Okmun. These two lads are the most popular colored fighters, barring Kid Chocolate, of the day. That they will pack Ebbets Field for Jess is a day, day, day; weares are saying that Latoz will not run away with the decision over Johnson as he did in their previous meeting.
McMahon more than likely will show the Spanish heavyweight Mateo Osa, before the season closes in October. Osa is billed to appear on the Milk Fund card, June 12th but further than that there is no in-hatch, chan, sponsored by none other than Paolo Uczudum, is haled as a real contender for heavyweight honors.
McMahon says that colored fighters will get a break on his program at Ebbets Field, and as this has always been his policy in the past, it expected that he will continue match bouts for the delegation of fistiana.

COX GROOMS GOOSBY TO FILL GANS'S SHOES
Young California Wetterweight, Who Showed Here, Was Bright Prospect
NEW YORK—(ANP)—Fight fans are jubilant over the success of Jackie Thompson in his bout with Jackie Fields, but no story of this fight can be complete without a reference to one of the cagest managers in the name, who has two sterling wetterweights in his stable
This manager, Cherokee Tom Cox, one of the few Negro managers who has been successful in bringing his team to victory, setbacks when would stump a less brave soul. First, when Tom came East from California, he brought Baby Joe Gans and Frankie Goosby, the former a star, the latter a rising star. In New York, living up to his advance notice, Baby Joe Gans ran into a stream of tough breaks. With a severe injury to his left arm, Gans was forced into idleness, motionless, healed, Joe attempted fighting again, but it was discovered that there was a growth on the bone, an X-ray having been taken to ascertain whether he was injured. About this time, Tom was stricken down with an infection in his knee, calling for two operations. For two and a half months, both manager and star were out of action, causing Gox to setbacks. Gox has one bright spot to lighten his burden. And that is the splendid showing of Frankie Goosby, the welterweight. Goosby has shown so much improvement in his stay in New York that preliminary fighters will meet him.
Made Hit Here
Goosby made a highly favorable impression in Baltimore some weeks ago, when he gained the nod over Billy Wiley, a more than three years ago in the utmost, Cox declares that Goosby will take his place among the topnotchers, standing erect. five feet (ten feet) tall, informs shows that his manager is not overrating him.
Falling to find engagements for his youthful star in New York, his taking his enlistment to Bossy, his hopes to find work for Goosby and have Gans undergo further treatment for his injured arm.
Should an operation be necessary Gans plans to treat himself in the fall, taking a good rest before attempting to put too much strain on his reliable left.
PHYSICAL STANDARDS SET FOR D.G. STUDENTS
Girls Press Boys in Younger Groups But Fall Back as Ages Increase
WASHINGTON—I—the effort to set up standards for achievement in physical skills and standard athletic events has been compiled for performances of boys and girls in the junior and senior high schools
An average has been struck for each age in the fifty years since the standing hand step, and jump; and the overhead basket ball throw. These marks were made during physical education class work the first semester, and in the second they should be due to the lack of experience of many concerned in the giving of the tests and because of the poor facilities in some schools. The chance at the scores shows the eleven and twelve year old boys and girls nearly equal each other records. From the records, it seems that boys be away from the girls. In a short time it is expected that the records assembled in the office of the department of physical education afford the necessary basis for modification of phases of physical education activity.

Bronzed High School Lads Share Heavily in Froebel's Great Victory.
WORLD RECORD FALLS
Columbus, Ohio Relay Team Runs 880 in 31.3.
CHICAGO.—(ANP)—For the second successive year, Froebel High School, Gary, Indiana, into which an attempt Indiana added to all of the Nero high school students of that city, won the national interscholastic track meet, held at Stagg Fie'1 at the University of Chicago, Friday and Saturday.
Six hundred and sixty athletes from one hundred twenty-five high schools, representing nearly every state in the union, north, south, east, and west, competed.
Froebel, which won the Indiana state championship earlier in the spring, won the national meet with a total of 53 points. Its nearest competitor was Brazil, Indiana, with 40 points.
Set World's Record
One world's interscholastic record, and two new meet records, were set by Negro stars and contingents. The Ole Miss 17-year-old sophomore of the Roosevelt High School, Dayton, Ohio, galloped his way over the 220-vard low hurdles in the amazing time of 23.8 seconds. This feat occurred in a preliminary match which held Friday. On Saturday, Oliver attempted to better the mark in the finals, but ran into a bad break of luck when he stepped on a hurdle and fell. He was knocked out st. nce when the accident occurred and was leading the field by five yards.
A new meet record was set in the disc talk by E. White of Pleasanton High School. Peasanton Kan-ten was knocked out two inches. The former record for the meet was 136 feet, 11 inches.
Columbus Relay Wins
The relay team of Central High School, Columbus, Ohio, broke their own interscholastic record in the 880-yard distance in one minute, 31.3 seconds. Three member of the team were fleet-footed Negro lads who gained a commanding lead, out of which the anchor man, a streak of a white boy, maneuvered. Froebel was the meet because of its all-around ability in the various events. The team won one first place, in the second 880-yard relay. The team won second place, in John Wonwosie, tied for first place in that event. Their other points were won by the exploits of second, third, fourth, and fifth place men, in the mile race, and in the quarter-mile, the 220-yard dash and the hurdles.
Abrams High Scorer
Froebel's high point scorer was a bronze boy, named Abrams. He competed in both hurdles, the quarter and the long jump in which Froebel won place. The spirit at the meet was fine. When Casper of Harlandale, Texas had won the 120-yard high jump, establishment coach Jesse砌elastic hand the first person he shook hands with was the brown-skinned Oliver of Roosevelt High, Dayton, who was second in the long jump officials had to go into a handle to decide the victor.
THREE FOR CANTON
The Canton Tigers made it three in a row by defeating the Oval Blues by the score of 8 to 3, the Royal Aces by a score of 16 to 3, and Oak Tigers, to the tune of 18 to 1. This made them one straight games with Tigers. For games, write or phone, Lewis Hall, 915 Fremont phone, phone Lafayette 3069.

Baseball, particularly that played by professional teams in the East, is taking a wallpaping, and already plans are underway to prop its totering leaf. The collapse of the American Nego League before the start of this season is being felt, despite the fact that the organization at best, was far from being in thing. desired. Attendance figures have taken a turn, and existing clubs are grasping about for a support that will bring some semblance of stability.
Slow in Acting
Withdrawal of Ed Bolden, at least temporarily from the baseball battle front, was heralded in some quarters to effect a re-organization of the eastern circuit. But that re-organization was not as a spontaneous as some people think, that the remaining owners, George Rossiter of the Black Sox; Lloyd Thompson of the Hildale; and Mike Giants of the Milwaukee are making any motion toward remedying the situation. With the Cuban Stars, Homestead Giants, and Minnesota Giants, an attempt is in the offing to build up clubs in Richmond and Norfolk. Vt., with the remote possible location of the Milwaukee City or some other New Jersey city. At Richmond, the Brownies, under the wine of "Babe" Morris are in the field, while in Norfolk, the Giants represent that city on the diamond. Would "Farm" Out Players, Strengthening of the players by the players of the players of the Black Sox, Lincoln Giants and Hildale, present what some follower, believe to be, at least a temporary solution of the problem of equalization.
A conference is scheduled to be held this week between the owners of the aforementioned club and the proposed changes are practicable. The plan goes into effect it will mean that some of the stars of these clubs will have to go and younger and less experienced players shoved into the
Owners Wary
The owners have been wary of taking this step for fear of demoralizing their teams and it is this problem that still causes them to rank lower than to admit that the salary problem is riving them a little worry and, holding the upper hand, they know that a cut can be made now easier than at any time in the past three years. To the salary scale in the National League, which they claim is below theirs and also point to the apparently greater success that tending organized teams have in the shadow of a league, with the injected element of the struggle for supremacy, they believe, is better than no league at all, and it is on this basis that they have revive organized baseball or else quit.
Would Sell Black Sox
Whi'. It has been at various times reported that George Rossiter, owner of the local club, desired to sell out his holdings in the club, owner made it clear that week that the club should be for sale if the pres- business trend continued.

WILL KAYO CARNERA BY THIRD—GODFREY PHILADELPHIA — "After I watched Primo Carrera in his fight with Ace Clark at the Arena, last winter, I said I figured I could smack him down in about three rounds, and that still goes."
The speaker was none other than George Godfrey, who is the president of the Alp at the Philhires ball park. June 23, Godfrey, who started intensive training here, sparring with Leonard Dixon, Jeff Smith and the Tiger Thomas, will add several new sparring mates this week, among them Ciel Harris, 230-231, and Jeff Gang is expected to become a member of his roadwork squad. Extra seats, provided at the park, the promoters have an agreement to accommodate a crowd of 40,500.
Godfrey for Von Forat?
CHICAGO—Either George Godfrey or Young Stribling of Atlanta, will meet Otto Von Porat. Norwegian heavyweight, in the feature bout at the Chicago Stadium, June 16. Both Stribling and Godfrey have agreed to the terms for the bout and await a selection.
STARS FOR OBERLIN
WOOSTER, Ohio—Jim Barnes, Oberlin's leader, struck an unexpected snag when Silverling, white of Ohio Northern, beat him to the tape by a yard in the 600-yard dash. However, Barnes came back to coop the 220-yard "dash" and the 220 yard low hurdles with case. In addition, he stepped off the last quarter for Oberlin's winning mile relay team.

TRAINING THE CHILD By ELISE AYER
A farmer is mowing the grass.
Growing Potatoes in the Garden
Drought is the greatest natural hazard among the many problems faced by potato growers during the last decade, for even such serious handicaps as insect pests and potato diseases can be controlled.
An authority says:
"When insect- and diseases are abundant, yields may be increased 50 to 100 per cent and under average conditions about one-third by the use of Bordeaux mixture added either as a dust or a spray to arsenate of lead."
Northern grain seed potatoes are decidedly superior to home grown, as an average of 50 trials extending over a 12 year period showed a 12 per cent advantage for the northern grown seed potatoes. Cobbler and Early Ohio are recommended for the Carman No. 3 for later harvest.

The biggest job, as they soon learn, is Mrs. Ellis Ayer fine aim. There is much to pull down this ambition. At first, the business of getting a job that will provide money for housing, buying a house, or all other thoughts. Once the father has succeeded in that, the mother can begin her home making. Thereafter it will be up to her largely to gather the money to gather in all the good the new community has to offer.
The school of course, will be the first of these. Most mothers see to it that their children live up to the standard of punctuality and that they know many cases like that of one mother from the South whom I recently saw. The slightest illness on her part was sufficient cause for her to be home to do the house work. She was angered and surprised to learn that this was not her right. Better schools have stricter rules. Obsidence to them is the price to be paid. The school mustuls ar-required and with the aim of comin always in mind the parent should co-operate closely.

Week-end Suggestions
IN LIEU OF CREAM
If there is no cream on hand for
lovers of cream with coffee, just take
the white of the coffee in and
stick the coffee in, and there
you are. Whip it a bit. It is still
better whipped in an espresso.
Set it on a plate. If you
never be told from coffee with
cream, it's a comfort.
OYSTERS ON TOAST
1 pint oysters
3 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons salt
1 teaspoon salt
Pew grains cayenne
1 egg yolk
1 cup cream or milk
Clean oysters heat to boiling point,
and drain. Cook butter. flour and
cream 5 minutes. Add oysters and
egg. stir until thoroughly hot.
Add cream or crackers.
Two tablespoons chopped mushrooms
will greatly improve the dish.
POINSETTIA SALAD
Peel orange and separate into sections fro. from membrane. Place Philadelphia cream cheese in the centre of a bed of lettuce. Arrange 5 or 8 orange sections around the cheese to resist the petals of the poinsettia putting thin slices of pimento on top of each section. The strips of omente may be curved to represent a cane and will make a more effective decoration. Serve with mayonnaise in the centre of the cheese and decorate with pieces
THE CHILD
E AYER
the country brings with it more respec.ibilities.
After the school the mother should look for the public library. There her children will find good books to take home and read; and cheerful rooms to quietly use those books which cannot be removed. There is no excuse to soiling. There is no excuse to polish public books. Mothers should teach their children that this takes pleasure away from older children.
Should books be lost, children should be trained to report the matter promptly to their mothers. They should personally see to it that the books are not for sale to them. Recently, many schools have had to help the libraries enforce their rules. In one instance, a child in an eighth grade had kept a book out a whole year and ignored all the attempts of the library to find and finally stayed away from the library and gave up the valuable privilege, rather than pay for the lost book.
The worst feature was the indifference on the part of the mother. The proper use of these great institutions of the city and country should be taught to children by their parents.
In many large cities, there exist one or two theories which make a specialty of presenting plays and shows suitable to children. Since these are such valuable aids to education, the mother should not neglect any opportunity to give her children this advantage. The prices are as reasonable as the good movie and are much more of an inspiration.
Beautiful language expressive of fine thoughts: beautiful music at the beach, beautiful dress, beautiful pictures and objects of sexy, crowd the child's mind, ambitions and leave little ground for e.l. thoughts to take root.
Look your city over and carefully select every advantage of the community for your children's good.
BAKED ECONOMY
Into a well-buttered pan put slices of raw peeled potatoes and a little pepper. Then a layer of uncooked potatoes and a layer of potatoes and ham and pour on thin cream sauce (1 tablespoon flour, 1 tablespoon butter to 1 cup milk). Sprinkle bread crumbs on top and bake in a moderate oven for 15 minutes or well done. Serve hot. Just enough ham can be used to give the desired flavor, which has one advantage of making a little ham go o'clock. Put it at home in a heavy tin dish with a cover and reheated over hot water on a campfire.

BREAD PUDDING DESSERT
All that is needed for this dessert is a pint of milk four slices of bread, a package of lemon junet, a little cream, and a few crusts from bread butter lightly and in small cubes: divide the cubed bread among dessert dishes and add a few seeds of lemon juice toukwarm- hot. Add the lemon junet Stur until dissolved. Pour over bread. Let stand in a warm place until fresh. Chill. Sprinkle a mixture of sugar and cinnamon before serving.

I SAW YOU
I saw you last night
As you strolled down the lane
I saw you quietly dishear
To me 'twas bitter pain;
For I loved you dearly
You said that you were mine
And that nothing could shatter
Our love divine.
Lest evening I was lonely,
I was wishing for you.
I took a walk down lover's lane,
And there found you untrite.
For you was another,
While poor rejoiced me.
Stood watching, longing, hating
Your duplicity.

Pat to Pansy
PANSY. DEAR:
I am all upset. I am wondering:
What Does Society Mean?
Somebody must stop this rampage of so-called society, who are supposed to set the example for our lesser brothers and sisters.
Four young men out of this year's graduating class of the Douglass High School, who have not been at three dollars per couple, to a dance to be given after the graduating exercises in June, at a white night club or road house called the Rio Rita, situated on the Philadelphia road. From what I gather the shortest of the students have not been consulted concerning this affair and a number of the teachers that had been asked to help sponsor it did not approve of the event and have stayed out of it. However, they young with their plans, and there is real clamor for invitations and mostly from teachers of the various schools.
I understand the affair is to be held after regular hours and the house is available because one of the sponsors is regularly employed there.
I am wondering would the management allow the same affair to be given there at a regular hour or a Saturday afternoon or when the Rio Rita was at its height. I can think of a number of reasons why the present management is condescendingly accepting Negro patronage. See, dearie, we have every-day examples of local stores and public places closing their doors on us. Why should we continue going places where we are not wanted as proper guests? Why can't we be satisfied with what we have now? There's Edgewater Shore, Brown's Grove, Highland Beach, Shady Side, Golden Hotel, and other places.
Oh, my dear, what little foresight we have! We are constantly de-ploring, criticising, and scoring the Negro business standard and yet we do absolutely; nothing to improve it. As soon as we want to laugh, dance, and play, we seek the other man, these his cast-off equipment and fill his jeans with our hard-earned dollars—and then we are having a good time.
Then, Pansy, there is the moral point of view. It is a known fact that Pansy has accepted invitations to this affair; and these are the same teachers that lecture on self-reliance, thrift, pride in their class rooms every day.
What a strange art is that of entertaining! It calls forth those who seek pleasure at the sacrifice. The same teachers occupy positions that are clothed with dignity. Is it not logical then, that this proposed affair at a road house could only be possible, my dear, for two people, for example, to realize that they are teacher and student in a road house? Think, too, of the parents, Panxy, who submit themselves to an environment wholly unsuited to immature minds. Little do parents and students alike realize the harm that can come from an affair of
. . .
Elsve is Honored.
Girlie, Mrs. Florence Stevenson, down there on Bond Street, surely did give a swell dinner dance at the Pensacola house her niece, Elsey L. Brummell, of Cambridge, Md., one of this year's graduates of Morgan College. Honey, you should have seen the decorating and selling booths, the orchestra stage banked with palms; Morgan colors flying every which way; the color scheme of rose and green, carried out on place cards and green napkins, beautifully tabled and, gee, girlie, a beautiful and appetizing five-course dinner was served at exactly seven o'clock. The guests in their best of prefeite made some picture selections on on-looker at the entrance door.
However, Pansy, dancing followed, and at midnight, to the surprise of all present, a feature dance was flashed on. The lights all suddenly turned blue and a big moon shone on the stage, and the dancers as they danced to the strains of the "Pagan Love Song." Don't dare ask how many times they played it. Everybody and everything caught the fever, the balloons swayed more, the moon lit up, the lights got glur, and, oh, baby! Mabel Hayes, a former teacher of Elske's assisted Mrs. Stevenson.
There were twenty-seven couples invited, including: Ola Bowers, Mamie Williams, Mildred Lynch Bernie Cross, Catherine Lee, Matie Matthews, Katie Wagner, Mildred Grinage, Lillian Dotson Goldy Clardy, Mary Carter, Margaret Jones, Argenia Ford, Irmia Kellum, Algina Austin, Thelma Langley, Susie Heart, Georgia Jacobs, Jessica Hinkle, Unilee Sarah Turner, Mary Beams, Frances Tartar.

Jones, Chas, Smith, Ollie Daily, Wilbur Jones, Bassone Baugh, Thomas Wheatey, Lawrence Hinkle, Raymone Parker, Robert Holly, Presley Lawn, Robert Thomson, Wiley Hammond, Theodore Stewart, James Carr, Edward Blueford, Thomas Hawkins, Rufus Hacket, Raymon Hisks, Osborne Williams, Raymon Williams, Robert Williams, and Daniel Clark.

T.B. STRIKES WHITES
THROUGH DIXIE BLACKS
Economic Loss in Year is Double Value of Public Schools.
ROSENWALDER SPEAKS
Expert Says Negro Sections Must be Cleaned Up.
MEMPHIS, Tenn.—(ANP.)—Pointing out the headway which tuberculosis is making throughout the South, S. L. Smith, white, director of Southern schools of the Julius Rosenwald Fund, showed that both whites and Negroes were losing health, money, and life, through insanitation in colored districts, in an address the Negroes association here, last week.
According to Mr. Smith, the annual economic loss from tuberculosis among Negroes of the South is more than double the value of all the Negro public school property, and in some states, more than three times, including the cost of the Rosenwald schools.
More money is spent to prevent tuberculosis among Negroes the rate for whites can never be reduced to a satisfactory number," declared the speaker. "Some of our methods in treating tuberculosis are to clean a stream when there is a dead horse in the spring above.
Seek Negro Workers
"No satisfactory effective program of health in the South can be projected that does not take into account the needs of the physicians, nurses, teachers and welfare workers. They are not only capable of offering sound suggestions and skilled service, but of carrying out their work directly to the people who need it.
Teachers Need Training
"The teacher is the only means through which the great majority of rural Negroes can be reached immediately, and colleges are best training colleges out with but little knowledge of public health practices. Health education in teachers' colleges is the only way to reach and save the present crop. A few additional dollars spent on sanitation in the Negro sections of any of our Southern cities, rigid enforcement of the sanitation and housing laws, and vocational training to increase the earning power would greatly assist in reducing the tuberculosis rates in cities immediately."

Morgan Dean Contrasts Modern Youth's Desires with Temptations of Jesus
CLASS DAY FRIDAY
Music Recital and Oratorica Contests on Program.
"I doubt whether one out of fifty college graduates really earns a month, in his first two or three years at teaching," declared Dean John W. Laywood to the grading class of Morgan College Sunday afternoon in the chapel on the occasion of the annual baccalaureate sermon.
Discussing the reluctance of most graduates to answer the call of the rural communities for leaders and teachers, the dean likened their desire to earn a substantial monetary reward to the devil's command to Jesus: "Command that these stones be made bread."
Most of the annual crop of graduates turned out by the colleges some the $85 or $00 a month salary pay beginners in the Maryland high schools, then really earn that amount at them the beginning of their work, he said.
The dean concluded his sermon with a touching example of a youthfulness life ended heroically in the supreme sacrifice in the Chicago mall, where he had a chance to make the same sacrifice but chose to save his life, covering too late, that he had saved his life to lose his soul.
"Money, short cuts, material things or life, and _sacrifice which will you choose?" he concluded. Music for the occasion was fused by the college chair led by Dr. Shirley G. McCanna, professor of music, and the fisher at the pianos. The president, Dr. John O. Spencer, preside Class Day

KIN UNEARTHS MILLION DOLLAR UNCLE'S ESTATE
Railway Employee Begins Action to Recover Property.
LEFT NO WILL
Self-Appointed Agents Collected $252,000.
WASHINGTON. (CNS)—Tobe James, engine supply man on the Southern railroad, formerly of Birmingham, Ala., through his attorneys, Houston and Houston, is filing suit in a Federal court to recover the estate of his uncle, the late George Neal of Shreveport, La., whose property is valued at more than a million dollars.
James, the son of Neal's only sister, Mary Neal James, claims that in the absence of a will to the contrary, he is entitled to the entire estate of his uncle, who died in Shreveport, Louisiana, seventeen years ago, without leaving any other heir to his property which has since been confiscated by whites who have collected rents therefrom amounting to more than $252,000 exclusive of $10,500 paid in taxes. George Neal, was the owner of property located in the heart of the business district of Shreveport. He owned a block of houses in the business section, together with one half block north of Caddo and Douglass Streets, now occupied by a hotel, a local fire department, drug stores, filling stations, houses, and prosperous businesses of other descriptions.
In addition he owned property near a railroad and was the owner of half of Douglass Island, a pleasure resort for colored persons. The value of the property is estimated between a million and a half and two million
Told Boy Friend
About a year ago, while on the streets of Birmingham, Jones ran an friend a friend in Shreveport, who inquired of him why he did not go to Shreveport and look after his property left him by his uncle. The he went to Shreveport where he found a number of persons who remembered him and his uncle. They were able to inform him concerning the holdings of his uncle and that he was checked on the information and found as a result of a thorough investigation that the titles to the property by them were all his uncle's name.
Self-Appointed Agents
He found that 72 houses alone, greatly increased in value had been rented during the seventen years by the company, and elected more than a quarter of a million dollars in excess of large sums spent for repairs and the payment of taxes.
Having that James planned to lay claim to the estate, an offer to compromise was made to him by one of the parties holding a part of the estate, and an offer to claim to the $252,000 already collected by them in rentals. This James refused to do without the advice of his attorneys, Houston and Houston, and his attorneys refused to sanction.
James discovered that an attempt had been made by the whites of Houston to obtain an unpaid balance of $12,000 on a sixty thousand dollar debt which his uncle was unable to meet promptly during an illness but which he believed had been attended to on time.
The court refused to grant the petition of the creditor on the ground that the value of the property was less than the amount of debt. The company was allowed to collect the rents from the property but despite the fact that the full amount of the debt with interest had been collected within a twelve month period, they continued to collect from the company. The company quisit their claim or turn over to Neal the money collected in excess of the $12,000 necessary to liquidate the debt. Neal died shortly after of a brain tumor. James claiming that the property of his uncle was confiscated and held without court order, will demand an accounting and a turn over of the entire holdings of his uncle. The whereabouts of James at this time is unknown to all save his attorneys.

Not sure of their work, members of the mob demanded that they again be permitted to enter the jail where supposedly dead man was jaying unconscious. As Skinner, husband of the woman Argo was alleged to have attacked, with other members of the mob stood by the cot, the husband deplored a shack he had plunged it into the chest of the unconscious man. Skinner was later arrested and even though he admitted plunging his knife into the cot, he still glanced at it, he was released without bail by town officials. Thursday before he was slain, Argo the half-wit, was fishing a couple of days before the dugout of G. W. Skinner, the white man whose wife he was alleged to have raped. A dog belonging to the Skinner们 began anoying Argo. The dog trotted him, and he sought to punish him. The Skinner saw Argo chasing their dog and they set out to protect him. That precipitated a quarrel between Argo and the Skinner. Argo made threats that he was going to kill the white woman.
According to Rosso Dunlee, Bradford Argo, father of Henry, had to divorce the mother of the boy befriended in a half-wit twelve years ago. The boy had been in Chickasaw for nine months after having served a period in the penitentiary for stealing a gun. He is known for his bravery and was regarded as lacking mental responsibility. Thursday, before the lynching, he was said to have threatened to kill a white woman and citizens say the deputy sheriff gave a man a gun to go off.

Recalls Sherman Mob
The cry of rape as an excuse for the Chickasaw mob action recalls that evidence continues that the people who was no foundation for the rape charge against George Hughes, burned to death at Sherman, Texas. The attack case were these George Hughes had been in the employ of a white man named Atnip, that. Atnip owed Hughes wages. Hughes paid him. The men argued, then fought. Atnip's wife entered the fray in behalf of her husband and was killed. She was these bruises, not for rape.
Police Seek Source of
Police of the Southern district are probing into the mysterious shooting of James Henderson, 213 W. Hamburg Street, by some unknown person Sunday afternoon.

year ago today. June 8, 1929.
I miss you from my home, dear Re-

Devoted husband.

BROWN—In loving memory of my
devoted sister, Rebecca Ray Brown,
who passed away one year ago, June
8, 1929.
Days of sadness still come over us,
Secret tears do often flow;
But memory keeps you ever near us,
Though you did one year ago.
The blow was great, the shock severe,
No one knows the silent heartache.
Only those who have lost can tell
the grief that is borne in silence
For the one we loved so well.
Loving and kind in all her ways.
Upright and just to the end of her
sincere and true in heart and mind.
A beautiful memory she leaves behind,
Makes you laugh as, In the hour she passed away.
So sad, so sudden was the call.
Her sudden death was a shock to all.
But God in His wisdom knew what
was best.
So He took our sister home to rest.
THE FAMILY.
Calonsville, Md.
BROWN—In loving remembrance of our dear ex-President, Mrs. Rebecca Brown, who died one year ago, June 8th, 1929. But loved her home, it was His will. But in our hearts we love her still; Her memory is as dear today. As in the hour she passed away.

The first colored faculties in colored schools in Baltimore were appointed by the Democrats after the Republicans had flatly refused to comply with the wishes of the Negro voters who had almost unanimously swept them into office in the campaign of 1895.
Maryland, which had always been a democratic state, underwent a political revolution during this eventful election and both the city and state were carried by the Republicans. Lloyd Lowndes was elected Governor and Alceste Hooper was elected Mayor of Baltimore; and it was hoped by the Negro voters who taught in public schools would be replaced with colored. But it was not until after the Republicans unified a shameful defeat and Thomas G. Hayes, a Democrat, was elected mayor, that these desires were realized.
Ordinance Held up
In 1855 there were about twenty schools in Baltimore, male and female, for colored pupils, taught by 172 white teachers. In the city proper there were two schools, male and female, taught by 24 colored teachers; and three other colored schools in the annex taught by ten colored teachers. Dr. J. Marcus Cargill, who was elected to the city council from the colored district, drafted an ordinance to eliminate the white teachers from colored schools and replace them with colored. After the tacking on of many amendments that almost defeated the purpose of the colored councilman, the bill was passed. The provisions of the ordinance were never put into practice during the Republican regime. So deterred were the efforts to retain the white teachers in colored schools that all kinds of delays made the ordinance practically inoperative.
The Ordinance
The ordinance as adopted and approved by the Republic of Georgia, in the beginning of the regular school year in 1866 a gradual system of elimination of white teachers in colored school takes place. The Board of School Commissioners was authorized to enforce this gradual system of elimination, in the following:
"Whenever a vacancy occurs in any of the white faculties a white teacher shall be appointed and an enough vacancies occur to supply a whole white faculty then teaching in colored schools, faculties and departments among other schools and their places filled by a colored faculty." For a long while this ordinance was wholly not approved but was not aside in an effort to prove his sincerity in the matter made the motion that the East Side be turned over to colored teachers.
Hayes Brings Action
Mr. Hayes entered upon office under no obligation to colored voters, but was scarcely in office before he took the job. He had things and appointed a board of high class citizens who set out at once to make the desires of the colored people a reality, at the top and not at the bottom and gave the colored high school new quarters and placed an all-colored faculty them. He started a new school and wonderful progress the schools have made since that time.
Cheltenham
The Republican mayor also disgarded the demand to appoint a colored man on the Cheltenham Reform School board. Both Mayor

Officers and Preachers Can End Lynchings
Official Neglect and Religious Indifference Chiefly Responsible, Says Interracial Commission—Renewed Vigilance Udged
ATLANTA, Ga.—Official neglect and local religious indifference are charged with major responsibility for the continuance of lynchings in America in a statement issued this week from the headquarters of the Commission on Interracial Co-operation.
"Practically every lynching means that some officer has neglected his duty or surrendered to the mob. Reasonable vigilance would have prevented most of them. The two latest lynchings illustrate this fact. At Walhalla, S.C., threatening mobs gathered on two nigts preceding the lynching, yet no effort was made to remove the prisoner or to provide adequate protection for the
"At Sherman, Teaxx, the sheeriff, the police, the famous Texas rangers, and finally the National Guard were all on the scene, and all failed to make it happen. They waited for the final hours of the mob's work, while it blasted its way into the courthouse vault and burned the victim's body in the street, the mob seems to have been wholly unopposed. "The responsibility of our religious leaders is equally obvious. Few will doubt that preachers of the South, if they would, could speedily build a Christian sentiment that would not be possible. Yet the most part, they have nothing whatever to say about it."
"The Fear of the High" Dr. Sockman
"The Fear of the High," a view of old age and its pitfalls, will be discussed over WEB, Ralph W. Hahn, in the National Sunday Forum Sunday afternoon.
"As we get up in years, we dislike to get up in the air," says Dr. Sockman, man not only physically and spiritually, but also become afraid of high ideals, lest we be called an idealist. The idealistic youth of eighteen so often accuse the young man of twenty-five who enters life with high principles frequently deteriorates into the practical politician at forty-five." The program will be the interpretation of excerpts from the oratoria, "The Creation," by Joseph Haydn. Although the composer was nearly seventy years old when he wrote the oratoria, it is considered his freshest and most vital work.

Pentecost will be called the birthday of Christianity in the sermon which Dr. Charles L. Goodell will deliver the breakfast of Twilight Reveries, Sunday afternoon, June 8.

N.Y. Rabbi Condemns The Passion Play
NEW YORK—The Oberammergauer Passion Play stirs anti-Semitism and is a poisonous influence on Christians, is the opinion expressed by Dr. Ste. Geneva, the founder of Synagogue at Carnegie Hall, Sunday. Dr. Wise declared that the roles of Judas, Caiaphas, and the mob are represented as typically Jewish, while the actors who portray the roles of Judas, Caiaphas, and the mob are represented as Nordics, thus bringing the confirmation of prejudice and deepening bitterness against the Jews.

Capart and Williams and others of their calibre to wives because we feel being according to their convictions and are now and always have been, good Democrats, but we aimed it at the illiterate type of colored person who was registered by coercion or was paid to register.
"We are informed that some colored people did not appear before the judge, but were being registered by someone else without being subjected to a test."
Gives Formal Answer
Attorney O'Kelly completely unarmed the prosecutor and started a steamroller that turned out all of the challenged voters' belongings in the presentation to the judge a formal answer to the charges contained in the challenge, which contained four counts, viz:
1. That you have never affiliated with the Democratic party and are not a bona fide Democrat.
2. That you have been induced and persuaded to register as a Democrat without intention of becoming a Democrat or supporting the Democratic ticket.
3. That many of you are unable to quality under the constitutional requirements of the laws of North Carolina.
4. That you are Negroes and the Democratic party is a white man's party and that you have not in the past, been, are not new, and will not be in the future, Democrats.
5. That you violate the allegations as false and as violations of the Fourth Amendment.
Excuses Doctors
After the presentation made by Attorney O'Kelly which was read to the court by Dr. L. B. Capart, due to the fact that Mr. O'Kelly is both dead and the court has challenged against the other professional men in the group which included Dr. M. P. Pope, Dr. T. L. Love, Dr. R. S. Vass, Dr. L. B. Capart, Dr. P. H. Williams and Dr. Charles A Higgs, Attorney G. L. Lane, P. E. Escoffier, and A. H. Haywood, undertaker, were also excused.
Hard on Laborers
After the professional group had slipped through his political finches, Gatling started a campaign and subjected every man who did not have on a white collar to a rigid cross examination as to his ability to read and write the constitution. The attorney was also cut down by Attaché Esoffey who objected on the ground that the law of the State provided that if this educational test was not made at the time of the registration, cannot be made again induction. Gatling declared his intention to be at the polls election day and personally see that every Negro is submitted to vote before he is permitted to vote.
Parker Case Blamed
The unprecedented attack on colored voters is a direct result of the Parker case, according to the Democratic vice presidential Negroes of North Carolina and Raleigh especially, have also voted the Democratic ticket in state and city elections, the Democratic party favored and many rank high in the party. Senator Simmons, himself, sent out notifications to Negroes reminding them to hurry and register so they might be counted, which he now seeks to bar them. This was before the judge Parker episode, whom he supported. Because of this support, he learned he was regarded as Democrats intended to vote against him and rally to Josiah W. Baily, his opponent. It was upon this information that Simmons's campaign manager sought to have Negroes thrown from party
White Supremacy
Late Tuesday ward heeers were busy rounding up the remaining electors who failed to answer challenges ahead of those who failed to answer would not be denied the right to vote. There were more than 1,000 challenged electors among the 1,000 who were to contend Wednesday and Thursday, although the hearings had already been reduced to a farce. This adds another grievance against the state has been an act of race haired in the state for nearly forty years. His campaign literature contains the following paragraphs: Sponsored Suffrage movement for White Supremacy (S) (3) Senator Simmons sponsored, and with the help of the great suffrage amendment in the Constitution of North Carolina, this gets published White Supremacy on a firm and unshakable basis, and freeing the Democrat from the great reform of Prohibition and other kindred policies making for the moral uplift and social safety and well-being.
To establish White Supremacy, he led the Democratic Party with a strong victory in the great White Supremacy campaigns of 1888 and 1900, redeeming the State from the rule of the Fusion and negro regime which had been in place since the campaigns of 1894 and 1896 after Simmons retired from the Chairmanship in 1893.
Chelsea of White Supremacy
In these campaigns he received, and has proudly worn ever since, the title of "President of the People," stowed upon him out of the overwhelming love and appreciation of the white proponents and magnificent leadership in the great White Supremacy revolution.
