CHICAGO. (ANP) — Recalling from the first shock which the closing of the Binga State Bank struck the dismayed depositors and stockholders here last Thursday afternoon, Chicago is rebounding with the hope that it will again open its doors soon. While thousands, who at first hesitated to believe the news which faded over the city like an electric current, gathered in front of the little Doric temple of finance to read the sign, "Closed for Examination and Adjustment," there was not the parity talk generally accompanying cues of this kind, but the air was heavy and tense. Hones for Best big business men who shivered at the thought of what it might mean to them, hopeful young men who had entrusted years of savings, humble tollers and children whose small deposits meant everything, all milled about the place dazed but hoping that the glass doors will again swing open and that they will not be the victims of another bank crash. I see 1:37 p.m. Thursday a white attic from the office of State Auditor Nelson pasted the auditor on the glass of one of the doors of the bank.

Baltimore, Saturday, August 9, 1930 ROOSEVELT SAID GOLD STAR WAR FILIPINOS ARE MOTHERS TALK LAZY BARBARIANS FOR THE AFRO Islanders Resent Hoover Nominee for Vice-Governor. HE'S PREJUDICED (Washington Bureau of the AFRO) (EXCLUSIVE) WASHINGTON, D. C.—Nicholas Roosevelt, named by President Hoover as vicegovernor of the Philippine Islands, is opposed by the islanders because he referred to them as lazy, illiterate, primitive barbarians, and as liars. The name of Rosevelt, who is a cousin of Governor Franklin Roosevelt, of New York, and an editorial writer of the New York Times, was sent in before the close of the last Congress. Fllipinos Make Protest Pedro Guevara, the president commissioner here, and other leaders who are seeking the independence of the Islands, immediately appeared before the Senate and urged his rejection. The Senate then declined to act upon his nomination until the next Congress. President Hoover in making the recess appointment has been quoted as stating: "Mr. Roosevelt has been so sympathetic with the Philippines and so enthusiastic over their progress that I am sure that the misunderstanding which has arisen a to his attitude will be nicely cleared up." AFRO Gets Document The Philippine Legislature on July 21 adopted a resolution protesting the nomination. The AFRO-AMERICAN has secured a copy of this document and so far is is known, no other American newspaper has published its contents. The resolution, in part, stating the reasons for the opposition is: Whereas, Mr. Roosevelt in his writings and public utterances on the Philippine question has demonstrated that he is possessed of deep-rooted race prejudice, having made unjust and offensive charges against the Filipino people as evidenced among other things by the following paragraphs quoted from his book, "The Philippines—a Treasure and a Problem." There is perhaps the greatest obstacle to that understanding between races on which rests effective co-operation. To them we must teach them to the child about these people. To them we shall ever seem inscrutable and pestiferousools, ruled by strange gods such as Hurry, Emma, and Emma the lastness. They cannot comprehend our passion for work and our worship of time. When we upbraid them for our failure, they have never valued integrity as we do. In fact, a cheerful' indifference to the correlation between statement and fact is one of their outstanding characteristics. The Americans, on the other hand, feel that they alone are prepared to push through an efficient plan of development, and that their position out and above Filipino society is to push through a greater disinterested service than can the Filipinos. They realize that fair play and justice must be present in the country. The idea of fair play is as alien to the Filipino as to all other Orientalists. His concern is with the need for Aslates, governed by influence and position rather than by right and wrong. In China the saying is common: "The Philippines it may be said that justice is to the side of the powerful—the inherent principle of despotism. . . . It is no easy task, this which we have so long hoped to evade. We have trifled with the white man's burden during the last twenty-five years, half believing that by closing our eyes and loudly insisting that no such burden existed, we could dodge our responsibility. Our ignorance has been used to bolster theories, and we have applied panaceas without diagnosing conditions. We have taken full credit for achievements that are still only half completed, and have even prided ourselves on one of the most famous and naive political blunders of modern history—the assumption that in seventeen years a conglomeration of twelve million illiterate peoples, but little advanced from their primitive barbarism, speaking many different dialects and living on hundreds of remote islands, could be prepared for a modern democratic form of government. (Page 277.) Now, therefore, be it RESOLVED. By the Senate, the House of Representatives of the Philippines concurring, to express, as it hereby expresses, the most energetic protest of the Philippine Legislature to the appoint-ment of Nicholas Roosevelt as Vice-Governor General of the Philippine Islands.

(Paris Bureau of the Afro-American) PARIS, France.—If any Gold Star Mother had reason to feel resentful of the jim crow treatment given her by the War Department as she sailed for France to visit the grave of her dead hero, she must have forgotten it before she sailed back from this port Sunday. From beginning to end, France and her people did everything possible to honor the mothers and wives who came over seas.

Bricktop, the genial and good-hearted proprietor of "Bricktop's," assembled the colored Star Mother, gave each a magnificent rose, and placed her in line to await the pilgrims. A party emerged from the platform, the oldest Gold Star Mother, Mrs. Mary S. Johnson, of Brooklyn, N.Y., on the arm of Colonel T. Ellis, the band struck up "Onward, Christian Soldiers," mothers, somewhat fascinated from the long voyage, at once brightened at the sight of the welcoming colored White Rose for Each Selecting each a mother, a member of the committee went up and handed her a rose while Brickton, selecting the tall and distinguished Colonel Davis, ran a rose through his lapel. Thousands of his friends, Pruchnie and had also turned out to welcome them, and cheered lustily while the band played "The Star-Spangled Banner," then the "Marsellaise," followed by "Mammy," "Keep Smilin," and other popular pieces.

Although conscious to the end, which came some three hours later, Miss Booth was unable to tell who had shot her. She could say only that it was a tall brownskin man unknown to her. At her bedside in the hospital, to which she was rushed, was Mrs. Moton standing up bravely under shock of the most severe death that has come to Tuskegee.

The explanation I can give is: I just in a rut and couldn't get out. anything seems to mitigate against writing you, that is, every time I would attempt something would interfere, so there you are. I trust that your school has closed or is about to close and you'll be coming this way real soon. Too I hope to see you when you pass through, as you have said from time to time. "In case you go to Cola, S.C., Ettie Ruth lives at 1425 Oak Street, and Claude is with her, but I can't say just how long. I am sure they will both be glad to see you. "It has been very cold and snowy here. It is raining today. Please let me know a few days in advance just when you will be through Washington, D.C. "Be as sweet as you are and write me real soon. "Lovingly yours. "SALTER." When she confronted him with a letter he had written Nadine, Mrs. Cochran states, he made light of it and declared he was surprised to learn how shrewd she had been to find his letter. She asserts that he had requested to discontinue the correspondence but kept it up for several months afterwards. Letter from "Ruth" In June, 1926, Mrs. Cochran al- lowed her husband began correspond- ence with a woman named Ruth When she intercepted a letter written told her the Scott woman, she his reply to her demand for in- formation was that he would go on where he would be appreciated. Mrs. became involved in the last of 1927 in a love affair with another woman, whose 1st name is Ellie, his wifi declares. On ocu- sion, she says, he recovers from him he assists her, meets her man's petition. It reads as to toll note is also filed with Mrs. "Get Out Tonight" "Beeheart! I wonder if you could get out tonight (Thursday) instead of Friday. I will see you at 8 o'clock. "Es——." Letters passing between her husband and Estelle, says Mrs. Cochran, of an extraordinary armored nature and brought about a separation between them. She returned then, she states, upon his promise to recontinue his cruel treatment of and provide a home for her and children.

She also declares that there were innumerable quarrels between them on account of other women leaving love messages at their home for him. They separated again November 17, 1929, but in January he persuaded her to return to him and their children. Almost daily while they were living together, Mrs. Cochran charges, her husband addressed sarcastic and uncomplimentary language toward her. He would taunt her to marks uncomplimentary to her, her relatives and her friends, she says, and would also compare her unfavourably with different women. Slapped Her He assaulted her on numerous occasions, she claims, slapping her face and shoving her about the room of their home. He was out of town nearly every night, and midnight, she saves, she says, he municipally upon finishing, she saves, she states, he would leave the house, showing no disposition at all to remain at home. After their last reconciliation he threatened her with bodily harm. They separated finally on July 5. The couple was married in Rocky Mountain, June 6, 1920. They had two children, Salter J. Cochran, Jr. 8 years old, and Mildred Cochran, 7 years old. Mrs. Cochran has been granted temporary custody of them. Their father is to see them at stated intervals. Cochran is a clerk in the post office and receives a salary of $2,300 a year. In his answer to her petition for a limited divorce Cochran denies most of his wife's charges. He denies that he ever had a love affair with Nadine Owens. He says that the letter, a copy of which is attached to his wife's petition, was never malled nor was it written with the intention of being mailed. He says that he tore it into small pieces. He denies that he ever made light of any letter ever written by him, but admits that he did express surprise at how well she had pieced together the torn up letter. He also admits he wrote one letter to Ruth Scott. He denies, however, that he had involved in a divorce with a woman named Estelle. He says he does not know any woman by that name. He also denies that he abused his wife. He alleges that their separation was brought about by the influence of her mother, father and sister, who were angry with him because he refused to permit them to live in his household without the payment of board and rent. He denies that his wife is wholly dependent upon him for support. He says that she is the legatee of the estate of her grandfather, David Smith, valued at $50,000, and that she receives about $50 a month from this source. In an affidavit, Cochran says that she is only the cochran of this estate and receives money from it. Cochran is represented by Thomas J. Romar, attorney.

CHURCH IN RIOT Crowd Refuses to Hear Other Speakers. TOPEKA, Kas.—The fight of the N.A.A.C.P. and the Kansas City Call to defeat Henry J. Allen for renomination as U.S. Senator in the primary, has given Kansas its wildest political campaign in several years. The Allen for senator supporters invited William Pickens, field secretary of the N.A.A.C.P. to speak at their meeting in City Park last week. The plan was to have Pickens speak first followed by a battery of Allen speakers without any chance for reply on his part if Pickens accepted the 'invitation. Pickens spoke for 50 minutes and after that every speaker who followed dodged all mention of Allen and talked of other candidates for lesser offices. The next evening pro-Allen forces arranged another meeting which Senator Allen, himself, attendee. At this meeting several members attacked the N.A.A.C.P. and Pickens who was secreted in the gallery, heard everything. In the middle, the encoiler cried for Pickens to肌肌 it swept the house. The chairman ignored the isstent calls to hear Pickens, who stood up. Senator Allen rushed from the hall. Mr Pickens called upon to stay, telling him that he did not want to talk about a man behind his back. The chairman refused to call Mr Pickens to the platform, and the audience broke up the meeting and refused to hear any other speakers. Before an audience, the Pickens urged the voters to cast their votes against Allen who had voted in the U.S. Senate to confirm Judge John J. Parker, white, a Negro hater, for the United States Supreme Court. Crowd Cheers The audience cheered when Pickens declared that people like Allen, who pose as friends but who desert the race in a crisis are more dongerous than people like Cole Blease who are its sworn enemies. "In the Negro fight against Judge Pinkens in the civilization" said Pickens, "an Allen of Kansas was 100 times more dangerous than a Blease, of South Carolina, and the Bleases ought to be forgiven rather than the Allens. The Bleases are at least consistent. A Blease can be ignored by American Negroes most of the time. An Allen must be dealt with always and decisively. "The only Alen Negro in all Kansas is Henderson-David Henderson, of Kansas City, Allen gave him a job. All the others ought to vote against Allen, for in the Parker fight he gave all the others a violent kick in the pants. "It is a pity that even Henderson has allowed himself to become obligated. Those who voted for Judge Parker's confirmation voted for lily-whistim, for jim crowing, segregation, decitizenizing of colored people. To take away an American's vote is to take away all his rights and hopes." Franklin Leads Fight Leader in the fight against Senator Allen's renomination is C. A. Franklin, editor of the Kansas City Call. For week after week he has thundered against the Kansas senator. The Topeka Plaindealer, edited by Mrs. Thelma Chiles Taylor, several months ago commended Senator Allen for his vote for Parker. In last week's issue there was no news, editor or advertising matter, concerning the political situation. The Wyandotte Echo, published in Kansas City, Kan., by I. F. Bradley, in its issue Friday, charged that Senator Allen's appointment of Dave Henderson as a special assistant attorney general in Washington was made with the understanding that Henderson would work for Allen's reelection. The Echo declares this is a violation of the Corrupt Practices Act. Democratic Paper for Ien The Kansas City American, democratic weekly, published by Dr. William J. Tompkins, declares in its news column that Allen is a friend, not "We don't need Pickens's instruction pointement is an honor to Kansas." 1,800 HEAR PICKENS Bu BOY WILKINS (For the Associated Negro Press) KANSAS CITY, Kan.—A crowd of 1,800 people jammed the main and auditorium, balcony, hallways alcoves, and shared steps of the First A.M.E.

ROGERS Julian Arrives in New York IN D.C. COURTS "We are living in an age where there is a great competition in business. My foregoing paragraph is based upon this query: Why must we maintain our position and not assist in providing sources of business, whereby they can be employed by our racial group? What does it profit a colored man to accumulate everything in the way of worldly goods, educate his children and then not use some portion of the business that will give employment to his educated children? I know of no organization within our racial group that has done more to enhance the aims and objects of Negro organizations than has ours. I am a firm believer in the doctrine of the Negro Boger. Our fraternal organization is called, the objects and aims are identical, since they endeavor to enhance the elevation of black suffering humanity." The word of the sudden death of the wordless Boger of Medjid Tample No. 1 at her home in Fort Worth, Texas, was brought to the Imperial Council. A motion to convey to Noble Boger the sympathy of the Imperial Council prevailed.

JOHNSON AGAIN IN N.Y. CONGRESSIONAL RACE Republicans Pick Veteran to Run in 21st District NEW YORK. — Evidence that the Republicans are again making a bid for Harlem, the city is shown in the image of a former year-old veteran who was once defeated in the Congressional race. as the party's candidate for representative from the 21st district, he have designated Mr. Johnson for Congress, with Myles A. Paice running for Assembley in the 19th District since Mr. Rivers, the mayor, was defeated for the bench. Paice has better chance this time under the present leader than he previously had. Johnson's victory is problematical. His victory is in part because in that section of the Bronx which adjoining Harlem forms a part of the Congressional District. The candidate never knows just how he wins, but it happens to him in the Bronx. In the last election Hubert Delaney was defeated in his bid for election. ST. GORGEER, S.C. (ANP). — That Coey Beiley, fiery Senator from this state, has not always 'en the "protector of white women that he professes, is being hurt into his race," he said. He was attacked by Harris, who is seeking to wrest the Senator's toga. Some weeks ago, Senator Blease. Mississippi, he had been lynched, endorsed lynching and declared that when the Constitution of the United States comes between him and protecting the virtue of southern white women, he said he will with the Constitution. Mr. Harris said he was recalled by recalling to the minds of his hearers here Tuesday that as governor of the state he pardoned seventy-seven rapists. Of course the records do not show whether the seventy-seven had attacked white or colored women. The statement on the part of the Senator that he was an exponent that he was challenged by his supremacy was challenged by Hank Aaron, clared that Congressman Murray, a Negro, was seated in Congress through Blease'sote and "later when Congressman Murray was arrested and bond and fled to Chicago, it was Blease, as governor, who pardoned him and permitted him to ride through South Carolina with the Senator he had married while in Chicago.

Julian sails on the Ile de France. He is null of enthusiasm for his adopted country and his Emperor, who, he says, "is a most remarkable man, working from six in the morning until late into the night supervising all details of the government himself." The Emperor is most progressive in his ideals, and has special interest in his work. He has the reputation of being the wise king since the days of Solomon. "The Abbysinians," he says, "are very kindly and hospitable people. They welcome black men from all over the world who ha e the ability to do things for the preservation of black kingdom remaining in the world. Rich Country "The country is rich in gold, minerals, and the soil is very fertile with wondrous soil. The mountains. That is why the white people are so anxious to get hr' of it." At the Abyssinian legation the writer was told that colored Americans would be most welcome at the trib would be most welcome at the coronation of the Emperor which is to take place some time in November.

H. Tobias. SOUTH IS CHANGING N.C. White Professor Tells Columbia Forum of Change. NEW YORK, N.Y.—That bi-racial standards in the South had encouraged white men to look or Negroes with contempt, was the ophion of Dr. Channing H. Tobias, senior secretary of the Young Men's Christian A oclation, when he spoke on "The Basis of Adjustment in Race Relations" at the Symposium on Interracial Relations in the United States, Tuesday. Dr. Tobias said that the basis of race prejudice was not racial, and illustrated the fact that while a Southerner would entrust his child to a Negro domestic and sit by her side, he would on no account tolerate a cultured Negro. The basis of race adjustments lies in self-criticism on the part of both races, he contended. The ability to face facts without coloring, them would do more good than "rillian behavior" and reliance, and industriousness would tend to curve the migratory habit of the Negro laborer. According to the "Y" secretary, the white race must learn to tolerate the Negro. The Negro can re-know her by hating the white people, he asserted, and concluded by adding that it is due to contempt of personality. Attitude of New South On the program of the evening was Dr. Walter Clinton Jackson, white, vice-president of the North Carolina College for Women, and Dr. Michael Commission on Interracial Cooperation at Georgetown, North Carolina. Dr. Jackson maintained that the attitude of the new South was no longer dogmatic. "The new South now approaches this race conflict in the academic and scientific way," he remarked. After cliting figures to show the progress made in Negro education in the South and particularly North Carolina, Dr. Jackson asserted that the Commission on Interracial Cooperation read the fact that mutual understanding was essential to better race relations. Not to Solve Problem "We do not advocate amalgamation." he added, "the attitude of the commission is not to solve the race problem, but to step toward the racial adjustment." The Hampton Quartet, which recently returned from a European tour, rendered selections that won the plaudits of the audience as they were presented. The Lansington Hustes, poet and novelist, whose "Not Without Laughter" is now ready for publication, read selections from his poems. He was loudly applauded. The symposium, under the auspices of the Columbia University gymnasium, proved to be a feature of the summer session as a crowd of over 5,000 filled the Columbia University gymnasium to the brim. Princinal Wesley D. Elam, of Parker-Gray School, Alex. Va., was master of ceremonies.

While the removal has been planned, for some time, and it has been taking place gradually, the city realized for the first time last week the magnitude of its loss. The St. Louis American said editorially last week, apologetically: "The institution of Poro reached its prime in St. Louis when the city was undergoing a transition; a tide of dissatisfaction with Poro pouring in, causing a general adjustment between the new and older order of things Negro in St. Louis. "During this adolescence period, Poro did not get such local expression of appreciation as it deserved and received from the outside. However, this apparent neglect should not be charged to the people but to those conscious of things. Our group consciousness and appreciation were in a formative stage; only in recent years have we begun to consolidate our interests and submerge our petty ways—and we have only just begun." While admitting that the loss of Poro College cannot be supplanted, the American declared: "We shall continue to claim Poro if for no other reason than the theory of the past, once a St. Lousan, always a St. Louisan." Of Mrs. Malone, the American says: "The founder and owner of Poro has earned a niche not alone in the progress of the Negro St. Louis, but in the Negro World where Poro products are sold. Her charitable and civic accomplishments in St. Louis speak monumental words in her behaLF." The Argus The St. Louis Argus, the city's largest paper, never unusually enthusiastic for Poro, was head over heels this week in the campaign to elect Walthall Moore as first U.S. Congressman from St. Louis. It had no editorial comment on the leaving of Poro College. versity of Pennsylvania for the summer semester.

WHOLE TOWN AIDS Frostburg Folk Help Victims of Crash. PHILADELPHIA, Penn. — Twenty-one survivors of a horrifying ride in which they were miraculously snatched from the jaws of death as a large bus in which they were riding with brakes useless and gears locked, careened at the rate of 80 miles an hour down the side of the Big Savage Mountain at Frostburg, Md., and ended in a crash that demolished the vehicle, Sunday. The party, all members of the American Woodmen, were returning from the annual convention of the order in St. Louis, Mo., when the crash occurred Praise Driver Through the cool-headedness and courage of the driver, Joseph Mahon, the bus was kept on the roadway as it ran wild for at least two miles. Mahon was finally able to swerve the car sharply to the right and succeeded in crashing into a cluster of trees, thus bringing the wild ride to a sudden end. By crashing into the trees, Mr Mahon averted a worse tragedy as the bus, which was toward a road which runs at the foot of Big Savage Mountain through the village of Frostburg, Md. Leaped to Death The one death that occurred was that of John Butler of 1600 N. Warnock Street who leaped from the bus in an attempt to save his life just before the crash. He was crushed against a telegraph pole and instantly killed. Several of the men in the bus prevented the women from jumping, and, under the leadership of Colonel Robinson who was in charge of the delegation, several lives were undoubtedly saved. Just before the crash, he made as man as he could as possible flat the floor of the bus and hold on to the base of the seats. As a result of the crashing, the bus was completely demolished and 16 of the 22 occupants were painfully injured. Many Injured The most seriously injured was Captain David Williams, 1511 South 50th Street, who suffered a fractured skull, fractured right shoulder and fractured left leg. He is now confined to Mercy Hospital, Philadelphia, and his condition is very precarious, although the latest reports from Dr. Fred Hopkins were that there are chances for improvement. Mrs. Fannie Taylor and her husband, William Taylor, of 1014 S. 17th Street, were badly injured and are confined to their homes. Among them were injured are: J. D. Darby, John Paxton, Andrew Robinson, Amanda Cooper, Martha Carter, Albert Robinson, Mrs. Leona Clark, Mary Butler, George Bolden, Gussie Patterson, Isaac Chance and others. Treated at Hospital The injured were first taken to Miners' Hospital at Frostburg, Md., where their wounds were dressed and many of them were sent to Philadelphia on Monday night. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor, Colonel Robinson and Captain Williams remained at the hospital over night and left for home Tuesday night. Captain Williams made the trip from Frostburg on a cot. He received medical attention in Washington, D.C. and was met by an ambulance from Mercy Hospital at West Philadelphia station and taken immediately to the hospital. Whole Town Helped The entire population of the town turned out to render assistance to the wounded people. The caused great distress around the caused country side and taxed the facilities of the little hospital. Every available nurse and doctor and ambulance was called to the scene, and all the people taken to the hospital in a hearse. The funeral of Mr. Butter was held August 2nd from the funeral establishment of Mr. Paul P. Keeen, 150 Thompson, under the auspices of Woodmen. Mr. Mahon, the driver, is the owner of the Interstate Bus Line, a fleet of seven huge trucks, owned by N.J. When he received the contract to carry the Woodmen to the convention he decided to drive them out there himself. He gave the delegation he was to the delegation. He is fully insured against such accidents and is co-operating with the Woodmen's Association and their attorney when he needs to re-verify the contract for the accident. Mr. Raymond Pace Alexander has been retained to represent Mrs. Mary Butler, the widow of the dead man, and Mrs. David Williams, who was most seriously injured, and others among those injured.

THOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER (1906) The North is indebted to the Negro. That is the view of Alexander Walters, of Jersey City, bishop of the A.M.E. Zion Church, and presi- dence of the National Afro-American Council. He sent out notices recently, calling for a national convention to meet in New York for the purpose of raising $50,000 to test the constitutionality of the law in the southern states where the New York district disfranchised. Bishop Walters says: "Unless Negrees do something for themselves they will find the race register shortly of all their civil and political rights not only in the South, but in the North as well." Editor and Publisher, 1892-1922. Poro Quits the South Nearly two decades ago, the eyes of the country turned toward St. Louis where Mrs. Anna E. Malone opened a $450,000 factory, Poro College, dedicated to the manufacture of cosmetics. Last week the factory was moved to Chicago where a block of Grand Boulevard homes, which formerly housed Chicago's millionaires, has been utilized to house a new Poro College. Business like individuals seeks the metropolitan centers for expansion, for prestige and for exploitation. However, there is more to the moving of Poro College than just these, and wise Mrs. Malone was frank enough to admit. After twenty-five years in one house, neither woman nor man chooses her customers, eagerly declares that in Chicago she will be closer to the great bulk of her customers. There she will be closer to the sources of supply, and shipments will also be expedited. Business, she says, will grow faster in the commercial atmosphere of Chicago. But finally she makes this most important announcement of all: Last week the factory was moved to Chicago where a block of Grand Boulevard homes, which formerly housed Chicago's millionaires, has been uplifted to house a new Poro College. Business like individuals seeks the metropolitan centers for expansion, for prestige and for exploitation. However, there is more to the moving of Poro College than just these, and wise Mrs. Malone was frank enough to admit it. After twenty-five years in one house, neither women nor men change headquarters eagerly. Mrs Malone declares that in Chicago she will be closer to the great bulk of her customers. There she will be closer to the sources of supply, and shipments will also be expedited. Business, she says, will grow faster in the commercial atmosphere of Chicago. But finally she makes this most important announcement of all. St. Louis is a wonderful city. I love my people. I have tried to serve them. But St. Louis in most of its attitudes is a Southern city. My experience would lead me to doubt that Negro businesses can grow to large magnitude in the South without feeling someone as well, as a common cause of insecurity. Negroes have long known that life itself is unnatural and insecure for them in the South. Mrs. Malone calls attention to a startling corollary, which if true, is bound to affect most vitally the Negro life in the United States. If Negro business is insecure in St. Louis, it is not also insecure in Nashville or Durham, Atlanta or Birmingham. Hot Springs or New Orleans? Does this existing insecurity merely prescribe its limits, or does it menace its very existence? If Negro business is restrained and unsafe in a mob-lust, prejudice-ridden Dixie, how can schools and churches beyond the bread line? Why should the Negro himself stay there? If Mrs. Malone, with customary womanly restraint but with entire frankness is right, then the South has lost not one fine friend but many. The northward migrant is the male workers in the city, is small circumstance compared to what will happen when Negro women become convinced that the South is not safe, and "must be taken to the Lord in prayer."

If Negro business is restrained and unsafe in a mob-ustry, prejudice-ridden Dixie, how can schools and churches thrive beyond the bread line? Why should the Negro himself stay there? If Mrs. Malone, with customary will, straint by with experience, is finally right, then he has lost not one fine friend but many. The northward migration of the male workers during the war is a small circumstance compared to what will happen when Negro women become convinced that the South is not safe, and "must be taken to the Lord in prayer." A Pat and a Kick Strange things appear even in our newspapers. There were only two editorials in last week's issue of the Chicago Whip. One of them praised Dr. R. R. Moton, president of Tuskegee; and the other condemned him. Were the Whip's editorial writers to confer more often, they would not make such a mistake; or, having made it, they would recognize it as an error. One editorial condemned Dr. Moton as our "most dangerous leader" because he has the ear of President Hoover and hasn't condemned him in the newspapers. Dr. Moton, among varied and sunny other faults, is condemned for writing a good book, "The Negro Thinks." and is pillowed for failure to present the nomination of Judge Parken, and so on, and so on. Actually Dr. Moton did protest the appointment of Judge Parker. It did not get into the papers because President Hoover made public no anti-Parker letters. The fact that three of five members of the Haitian Education Commission had poor staterooms becomes magnified in the Whip where it reads: "Dr. Moton was jim crowed on the way back from Haiti aboard the Steamship Cristoaba." Thus in part runs editorial number one. Editorial number two, written by the Whip scribe eater dinner, praises the C.M.A. (Colored Merchants Association) grocery stores, "known from one end of the country to the other," and described as "another evidence of an economic awakening."

Dr. Moton, among varied and sundry other faults, is condemned for writing "good book," "is condemned for writing "good book," and is pilloried for failure to prescribe the nomination of Judge Parker, and so on, and so on. Actually Dr. Moton did protest the appointment of Judge Parker. It did not get into the papers because President Hoover made public no anti-Parker letters. The three of five members of the Haitian Education Commission and poor staterooms be magnified in the Whip where it reads: "Dr. Moton was jim crowed on the way back from Haiti aboard the Steamship Cristofo." Thus in part runs editorial number one. Editorial number two, written by the Whip serpent after dinner, praises the C.M.A. (Colored Merchants Association) grocery stores, "known from one end of the country to the other," and described as "another evidence of an economic awakening." The organization of this chain of colored grocery stores is pictured as the result of "fine vision," "unswerving courage," "hard work," and "infinite patience." The Whip talks about "unstinted praise" and "large manpower" for the man behind the National Negro Business League, without apparently recognizing that Mr. Holsey's main job is that of secretary to Dr. Moton, and one of Dr. Moton's jobs is that of working as president of the National Negro Business League. The Whip talks about "unstinted praise" and "large measure of respect" for the man behind the project, Mr. Albron Holsey, secretary of the National Negro Business League, without apportionment. The Whip is that of secretary to Dr. Moton, and one of Dr. Moton's jobs is that of working as president of the National Negro Business League. Need anything more be said except this, that the Whip, whose fine campaign with the slogan, "Don't spend your money where you can't work," secured jobs for thousands of Chicagoans, apparently slightly affected by the prevailing hot wave. Wise Style Makers American designers meeting in New York July 2 announced that they would resist the move of French designers to lengthen skirts. Said they, "Skirts will stay just where they are, for 1931." Wise by now are American style makers, who fall in with the French plan of lengthening skirts last year only to have their fingers burned. From present evidence, short skirts have come to stay indefinitely. For Boys Only Scout Arthur O. Williams, Jr., white, of East Providence, R.I., was last week adjudged the brightest high school graduate after defeating boys from forty-eight States in the tests for the Edison scholarship. That Williams is a descendant of Roger Williams, founder of Rhode Island, won't interest boys much. The fact that Williams became interested in science through a course in his first year high school, is more interesting to boys. It indicates t them that every school ought to have at least one teacher whose subject grips a fellow's imagination. Williams took his science course when he set up chemical apparatus.

Quizzed about his recreation. Williams said something most interesting to boys: Questions about his hobbies drew from him the statement that he was fond of lighting, particularly those designed to produce emotional effects in modernistic settings, and had employed this hobby in helpteacher school plays. "Some of us high school boys," he went on, "found some old x-ray tubes and experimented with them in the laboratory after school." "I like sailing. I have a 15-foot skiff. I like athletics, but working as I did I had little time for anything more than swimming and a little fencing. No, I don't dance." We doubt whether his high school class had a closing dawn dance at a Rio Rita night club; but if I did, Williams was very probably not there. It takes incidents of this type to remind boys that getting ahead in life doesn't depend on ability to tap dance, to name movie stars, or to take a hand at bridge; that there is more worth while information in an old x-ray tuba than in the city's biggest dance hall. Scout Williams didn't tell this, but the AFRO mentions it for the benefit of parents, to wit: Pa and Ma Williams—no jazz hounds, lodge loungers or missionary moaners—gave their boy what the older generation called "home training."

Bleeding Kansas When the Kansas City American, Missouri's Democratic weekly, came out editorially two weeks ago in support of Senator Henry J. Allen (Rep. Kas.) in the coming primaries, a perfectly shameful, but also completely understandable situation became evident. The thoughtful Negroes, backed by the N.A.A.C.P., oppose Senator Allen on account of his support of Judge Parker for the Supreme Court. Naturally the larger Kansas City paper, the Call, is anti-Allen. The American, smaller, less influential, more easily bambooized, has gone over to Allen, news columns, editorial columns, and advertising columns. So thoroughly is it Allenized that even the American's political items news appear partisan as though Senator Allen or his supporters wrote them. Such is the manner in which it is misused in modern politics. The situation in Kansas is one that is characteristic wherever the Negro seeks real power in politics. It may happen in Maryland in 1932, when every thoughtful, intelligent Negro will rally to retire Maryland's pro-Parker Senator. Phillips Lee Goldsborough, to private life. When that time comes, the AFRO will be anti-Goldsborough. But this man Goldsborough will save his hide and spend his money. If he's pushed like Senator he may buy up newspapers whose editorial and news columns are for sale. He bambooize people who cannot think or who think loosely. The Kansas City American's attitude in the Allen case is one of the crimes of journalism in 1930. No one knows the long, hard road of the Negro to the ballot and citizenship can look at it with comfort and complete reassurance.

Smith, defeated candidate for the presidency, quiet since the American people rejected him for Herbert Hoover, plans his political comeback in the New York State Democratic Convention to be held in Syracuse, September 28 and 29. Radio listeners, who like the Smith brand of oratory, can plan for an earful. "The Brown Derby" will address the convention, make several campaign speeches for the re-election of Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, and at least one country-wide address for the election of Democratic Senators and Congressmen. Most important of the recently announced plans of Mr. Smith are the unofficial advice that he is not to be a candidate again for the presidency but to be a friend of the aid of friends like Mr. John J. Raskoh, chairman of the National Democratic Committee and Mr. Jouett Shouse, chairman of the Executive Committee, is expected to pick the next nominee. Smith support is already believed pledged to Governor Roosevelt. All of which leads us to declare that All speeches, if and when delivered, will hardly fail for lack of political ammunition; for in two years much water has passed under the bridge. Hoover campaign aides, like Mrs. Mel Walker, Wheelerbach, Bishop Schmidt, and Cannon and Clausen are today discredited. Even sincere supporters like Dr. John R. Hawkins have not been able to feel themselves Republicans and eager to serve the party since the election. Their dismissal could not have been more complete had they all been on the Hoover payroll. Virginia, Texas, and Alabama, which botted in 1928, are back on the Democratic nationwide North Carolina also in the runoff. In summing in the college and national election administration to atone for its sin, Alabama is soon to disarm to Tom in 1928. In the workplace, the Democratic president has been able to help the farmer, the business man and the consumer. But farm relief has failed. the stock market collapse ruined hundreds, and the revisions of the governor furnished better administration to be damned as heartily at home as abroad. As far as the Negro is concerned, Mr. Hoover has made no executive appointments and has pretty thoroughly disregarded Negro public opinion by nominating a Negro hater like Judge John J. Parker for the U.S. Supreme Court, by naming a separate Negro commission to Haiti, and by sending Negro Gold Star Mothers on jim crow ships to visit French cemeteries. Worse than Harding, the libertine, who swore at delegations who visited him to discuss the question of Negro welfare, worse than the question of Negro administration to be damned as heartily at home as abroad. Has ignored the Negro more completely than did Wilson or Cleveland. Looking over the whole situation, Al. Smith defeated two years ago, finds himself in the position of the man who is about to laugh last. To be sure, some of the events which have happened, would have come about, whether the President were a Democrat or a Republican, whether he were Smith or Hoover. Mr. Smith has the satisfaction of knowing that Mr. Hoover cannot have any worse had he (Mr. Smith) been elected. The AFRO-AMERICAN has no hesitation in again offering the opinion that it expressed before the last election—but in view of the fact that Mr. Hoover has gone fishing in Virginia to escape the heat of the Capital, why bring that up? Al. Smith, defeated candidate for the presidency, quiet since the American people rejected him for Herbert Hoover, plans his political comeback in the New York State Democratic Convention to be held in Syracuse, September 28 and 29. Radio listeners, who like the Smith brand of oratory, can canonize for an earful, the Brown campaign address the convention, make several campaign speeches for the re-election of Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, and at least one country-wide address for the election of Democratic Senators and Congressmen. Most important of the recently announced plans of Mr. Smith are the unofficial advice that he is not to be a candidate again for the presidency; that instead, he, as leader of the party, with the aid of friends like Mr. John J. Raskob, chairman of the National Democratic Committee and Mr. Jouett Shouse, chairman of the Executive Committee, is expected to pick the next secretary of state, who is already pledged to Governor Roosevelt. All of which leads us to declare that Al's speeches, if and when delivered, will hardly fail for lack of political ammunition; for in two years much water has passed under the bridge. Even sincere supporters like Dr. John R. Hawkins have not been able to feel themselves Republicans and eager to serve the party since the election. Their dismissal could not have been more complete had they all been on the Hoover payroll. Texas, and Alabama, which bolted in 1928, are back on the Democratic bandwagon. North Carolina also has returned, even ousting Senator Furnild (Red Shirt) Simmons in its desire to atone for its sin. Alabama is soon to retire "Tom Tom" Heflin, another rabid anti-Simpson orator in 1928. As to what has happened to the country in two years under Hoover, everybody knows without waiting for Mr. Smith's analysis. The form were huge planks designed to help the farmer, the business man and the consumer. But farm relief has failed: the stock market collapse ruined hundreds, and revisions of the tariff have caused the Hoover administration to be damned as heartily at home as abroad. As far as the Negro is concerned, Mr. Hoover has made no executive appointments and has pretty thoroughly disregarded Negro public opinion by nominating a Negro hater likeudge to the U.S. Supreme Court by naming a separate Negro commission to Haiti and by sending Negro Gold Star Mothers on jim crow ships to visit French cemeteries. Worse than Harding, the libertine, who swore at delegations who visited him to discuss the question of Negro welfare; worse than Mr. Calvin Coolidge, who counselled such delegations to have patience." President Hoover in two years had more than more completely than did Wilson or Cleveland. Looking over the whole situation, Al. Smith, defeated two years ago, finds himself in the position of the man who is about to laugh last. To be sure, some of the events which have happened, would have come about, whether the President were a Democrat or a Republican, whether the president was a Republican, Mr. Smith has the satisfaction of knowing that the country's condition could not have been any worse had he (Mr. Smith) been elicited.

A SIMPLE THOUGHT Because of noise and present day living conditions, the student finds it increasingly hard to achieve eminence in learning. The AFRO Reported Correctly on the Singing of Spirituals by the Moton Commission and Their Eating with Chaufeurs. Nothing in Either Incident was Undignified or Merited the Schuyler Reference to Them as "Uncle Toms." To the Editor: I have just finished reading your editorial "Schuyler's Foul." Of your two shots, one seems to have gone home; i.e. Moton and chaufeur dining together; the other I am not so sure about. Now I want to do what I think is right about the whole publication, but before doing so, will you please inform me: 1. If the published report in your estimable newspaper anent the entertainment of the passengers on shipboard to members of the Moton Commission with spirituals and poetry selections was incorrect and to what extent? 2. Did Dr. Moton moton spirituals in Haiti before any audience. Moton source came the published report that Dr. Moton invited his chauffeur or driver to eat at his house. Gonavesi one of the kind of the kind? 4. If the report was true about the spiritual yewling on shipboard, do you consider it to have been dignified for its Commis siderial? true that you were requested by any of the commissioners not to report the singing incident.

As those of us well know, who are closely connected with Shaw, he has been the one sore spot in its history. We have a whole-hearted investment for several years. It has been my firm opinion that in these years instead of making a strenuous effort to make Shaw stand out as the leading institution among our people, he has tried hard to stay one of the most successful one.

O. LOGEMOH. WORDS Northern Radicals. Again Get Busy. By WILLIAM N. JONES FAR FROM the belief of the Rev. Gordon B. Hancock, brilliant professor at Virginia Union Uni- versity, that "radicals" in the North are carrying things too far for the good of the Southern Iogro. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN CARRYING THINGS FAR ENOUGH. And far from having too many radically minded Negro leaders, we have not enough of them in any section of the country. Whenever a race ceases to produce radicals, yes, even the widely eyed and soon finds itself on t. tobogan, sliding back down to the regions of forgotten people. Two great dangers face the Negroes in America. One of them is that through our leadership we will be persuaded to accept the status quo and grow complacent. The other is that we will become so enamored of the present civilization in a white man's world, that we will spend our acidic energy trying to prove the truth that its products instead of trying to save our souls for a new order of world achievement. The fact is, the white man, of all human beings, has demonstrated that radicalism is the very essence of racial growth. Every milestone of advancement human beings have made since the world began is marked by a clearly defined act of radicalism. And as for the Negro, we have yet to produce the really radically minded leader who will not equivocate—will not the point of expediency come to the point of compartmental the vital issues affecting his racial status in this country. If the Rev. Gordon B. Hancock will analyse the leadership of the group and measure the stand they would take on even the most elementary questions of human rights, he would be amazed to find how complacent most of us are becoming. The "good will" experts are doing more than the lynchers to sap out our vitals and make us spineless and craven time servers. Select any ten of the foremost leaders of the group today and ask them to go on public record as to which party they would advise young men and women of the race to support, the Republican, the Democratic, the Socialist, one of them no doubt would steer clear of the Communists. Yet deep down in every one of their hearts they would feel that the straight from the shoulder doctrine of the Communists, that there should be complete social and economic equality of race, white and black, should have the same opportunity for advancement from junior to president, conforms more to their longings than the Republican practice of relegating them to a mental sphere politically and otherwise. Even the Socialist party, which is miles ahead of the Republican practice of relegating racial adjustment, is too "radical" for the practical expediency of most Negro leaders. And what of all things would Professor Gordon Hancock expect Negro writers to do as they see their own people harassed by such an unreasonable interpretation of what the white man feels "Shall they smile, or show their teeth under the lash? Shall they lay on platitudes of praise for an economic and social order which says, so far shall thou go and no farther, or shall they do what is more damnable and curl-like advise the masses to bear their burdens without protest while they flutter on the fringe of white opportunities and get by." The real red-hooded white men and women in America, North or South, want us to be courteous, be regardful of their rights, and be peaceful citizens, but they could not help feeling a deep-seated contempt for even a dog which would not grow instead of whine, when kicked about. There must be some radicals. Every Negro youth should be taught that there are yet many changes due in this world, and that taught that molasses will catch more flies than vinegar, all human beings are not like files. Some of them are like lions and even hyenas. He must be taught to smile most of the time, but to show his teeth when fighting times come. He must be taught to be fair, grateful or even good to women and act of kindness and women, but must also be taught to send his disapproval, whether by pen or voice, tearing like forked lightning into the consciences of those still plotting against his interests. No. Dr. Hancock, the danger is not that we are too bitter and resentful. The real danger is that the consideration for individual welfare may also slave to the leadership. Negro chatel slaves were lovable and amiable creatures. Some of them even good enough to protect homes where men were away fighting to keep them in bondage. But they were not the ones who ended slavery. It was the radicals like William Lloyd Garrison and John Brown and men who carried off the officers of war and cannon which ended that shame of civilization in America. And it seems particularly strange that a minister of the gospel would rap radicalism, for the greatest of all radicals was Jesus. He was here to wipe out an overgrown relation, brush aside a social order and revolutionize the existing human relations. He was such a radical that they nailed Him to a cross. A RECENT ANNOUNCEMENT that the C.M.E. publishing house is to be moved from Jackson, Tenn., recalls that as yet Baltimore has no working business agency through which a bid for that plant might have been made. The more plants we can bring to this city the more Negro boys and girls can we give jobs, and the more jobs we can create the more prosperous all other business and professions here will become. Again, the local business organization should get busy. If they cannot get busy they should get out of the way and give some others a chance. CHIPS FROM THE QUARRY The Proofreader Talks. Under the heading "English," in the AFRO, each week, there appear certain items which are intended to be helpful to writers—especially to those who write for the press. The instructions under the item "Word Often Missed" can be read with profit by almost all the experiments and the error indicated usually seems obvious. But occasionally a direction or a caution is given that could be explained or elaborated with profit to many readers if not taken. One of these cases occurs this week. The statement is clear enough and perfectly correct so far as the quoted sentence can be understood in which "as though" is preferred to "as if". Consider these two sentences: (1) "He ran as if he had seen a ghost and (2) He had seen a ghost." Sentence No. 1 expanded would read: "He ran as the (would have run) he had seen a ghost." Sentence No. 2 expanded would read: "He ran as though he had seen a ghost." In the first sentence the speaker admits a doubt—may be the runner saw, or thought he saw a ghost. In the second sentence, he sees the runner even thought he saw a ghost, but asserts that he can just reame the short, there is an "if" (a possibility) expressed in one sentence, but a denial of any such possibility in the other. Compare these sentences: (1) "You laugh as if you enjoyed it" (and possibly you do enjoy it): (2) "You laugh as though you enjoyed it" (but you do not, or at least ought not, to laugh). The first sentence would be spoken with a smile: the second with a frown or a look of contempt. The first sentence would be spoken with a smile: the second to a joke; the second to a person who might be laughing while a person was being executed. "He acts as though he were ill means that he ill but pretends "Though" is used when a negative or censure is implied. This distinction is not brought out clearly in all of the grammars or dictionaryes, but will be made by careful and competent writers. The proofreader would advise all persons whose business calls for them to be careful at typesetting—to give careful attention to these weekly lessons. If fully competent, the most of us are not. The lessons will help. The 13th Amendment. Quoting from an issue of 66 years ago, the Alexandria (Va.) Gazette gives the vote in the U.S. Senate on the 13th Amendment, abolishing slavery, as 38 years ago. The same, and finally to go to the three, are included in the states. It was ratified by 31 of the (then) states, rejoiced by the people, acted on by Texas, conditionally ratified by Alabama and Mississippi. Proclaimed Decem- Afro Statics.

The air was moist and drowsy and so hot All living things were still. Tall phlox, like wax flowers. In the endless silence stood motionless. But surfeited the heavy air with fragrance. The golden nippies closed, dropped languidly And be asleep unon the thick green turf Along the garden's edge. There was no sun to rouse them; Only dull yellow haze profound. That made time stand at rest. There was no afternoon. Unnoticed, day became the night. The Nation's Biggest All-Negro Weekly The Laughs Behind the News By RALPH MATTHEWS A sixy-seven-year-old is being held for shooting his son because he would not behave. Pretty badly the old man is, he blew his son's out. "Sorry, my boy, this hurts me more than it does you." Of course, the old gentleman's methods may have been a little crude, but you can't be too severe with children nowadays. If shooting children to make them behave becomes universal, we will change that adage to read "Spare the rod and gun and spoil the child." Shooting might not deter child delinquency, but there is no doubt that it deters the child. It won't be long now before tired mothers will be setting off firecrackers in their crisbs to make their infants stop crying. With very small children, it might them for life, a gentle case of shell shock might do the trick. Every nursery should be equipped with iron helmets and dugouts so the kids can protect themselves when the nurse goes on the warpath. It would be too bad if the boy whose mother tells him: "Just wait until your father gets home," would hide in ambush and pop his old man off first. Under these circumstances every home would be an armed camp and the family would have to come together every now and then to hold a disarmament conference. And we wonder what would happen if the man who used to spank his neighbor's children should go tracking them down with a revolver? Of course, there is always the risk of the kids outnumbering their parents and holding them white while they raid the pookie box. The parents would also have to throw up barbed wire entanglements to protect the jar closet every now and then if they won they could force the enemy to eat spinach by way of indemnity. By the time the children grew up they would be carried on in airplanes because the high school buss and girls are pretty high-fliers. If the father wanted to correct his flaws the daughter would have to stay on sentry duty all night so he could shoot her when she gets home in the morning. Then he might hit the milkman by mistake and cut off the family food supply. Shooting everybody who won't be shaken up would not make the world much better, but it would make jobs more plentiful. Preachers could use this method to good advantage by keeping their flocks in the strait and narrow pathies in siblings back home but the master went around shooting backsliders he could get a lot more people into heaven sooner than they expected to go. Back in the olden days when a man spoke his household trembled, but nowadays when a husband speaks everybody can see to where the sourek came from. Man was once master of his home, but now he is merely a prince in the money for ma and the kids. Only the privilege to shoot his children occasionally win a man any respect around the house at all. A boy might think it tough to have his old man shooting at his brother up hell thank his dad for every bullet he gave him.

While many of us may be under the impression, that this circumstance merely just happened, this is not. Spanish, "Zambo" stands for the offspring of a Nerro and a mulatto Indian. And it is from this language, via the Mexican border, that the term was introduced into the English language. —Memphis Commercial Appeal. Dr. I. Garland Peen Stood Out as an Anexponent of the Benefit of Negro Contact in a High Powered Organization By KELLY MILLER Dr. Irvine Garland Penn, senior secretary of endowments and field activities of the department for Negroes of the Methodist Episcopal Church, died in Cincinnati, Ohio on July 18. Bishops, general officers, and senior elders accorded him such funeral services as become a high churchman. One loves to think of William A. Hunton, promoter of the W.M.C.A. movement among Negroes, memory and services have not yet received adequate treatment, and Garland Penn, wise counselor of the M.E. Church on race relations, as the two intelligent, upright, consolerated laymen whose undivided endeavor was devoted to the cause of moral religion and statesmanship. I am not interested in face of those others deserve to face in this category. But as a general rule, Negro layman the of the intellectual type gives little attention to religion and moral movements. Dr. Penn served his church as a general officer in more varied capacities than any other Negro has had the privilege to do. For thirty-five years he has stood out for outremer among race as the exponent of the power of race the agent of contact and connection with the high-powered organization as the stethodist Episcopal Church. He enlisted in the cause as a young man, full of the ardor and devotion of youth. His zeal abated no whit down to the hour of his departure. He distinguished himself in his work in February in Fresno, by his loyalty to his church as his pulsing passion in death. He was a member of ten General Conferences, a record, which I understand, is unequalled in recent Methodist history. Assistant secretary, Epworth League, corresponding secretary board of education, educational secretary of endowments and field service, teaches the colleges of the connection the only Negro member of the joint conference on the union of Northern and Southern branches of the Methodist Episcopal Church; and member of the commission on inter-mational relations, are some of the assignments which show in what a wide range of functions he was called upon to serve and the high confidence in which he was held by the ruling powers of the denomination. During the past forty years, I have known a number of M.E. connections who have served the M.E. connection in conspicuous and distinguished ways. I do not think that any of them would seem it invidious to say that it fell to Penn's to render more intimate and significant service than any other communicant of his color, ecclesiastical or lay. Served the Cause of Education. Perhaps his chief services consisted in maintaining and developing the schools and colleges of the denomination, and in paving the way for the election of Negro bishops in the home field. The Negro bishops have been made princes of the church. The Negro element sustains a unique relation to the Methodist Episcopal Church. It is the only great denomination with a sizable Negro contingent and racial ecclesiastical affiliation. In the African M.E., A.M.E. Zon, and Colored M.E. denominations, Negroes have complete ecclesiastical self sovereignty which has both its advantages and its draw-backs. Sometimes we are carried away with the one, and then again we are abashed by the other. Can the Creed Operate Across the Color Line? Recently the M.E. Church has elevated two Negroes to the episcopacy. This is looked upon as a noble experiment. It does not yet fully appear whether this advanced step points to a closer and more perfect uncleer than the slaves, or over it but a preliminary step to a more complete separation. Can the Apostolic Creed which avows belief in the "Communion or the Saints" be made to operate across the color line? The older generation of Methodists, typified by Bishops Haven and Hartzel, lived that it could. The present-day organization, adept in organizational efficiency, are avoidely or covertly skeptical. The Methodist Church must apply the acid test as to whether creed or color is to exercise the greater sanction over the conduct of its ministers. The issue is shortened than it cannot be dodged much longer or amused withious phraseology. The new leadership within the cemnation must develop the requisite religious sagacity to grapple with this issue. The whites do not wish to set them apart ruthlessly, it would be glad if they would seek separation voluntarily. Alas, that a leader might rise p in Methodism, preferably a kymna with the wisdom and statesmanship as adequate for this day as that if L. Garland Penn was for his day. English Word Often Do not say.

Body of New York Lawyer Whom Many Mistook for White The Nation's Biggest All-Negro Weekly Cremate HARLEM LAWYER SUICIDE; HAD TWO WIVES, WHITE J. D. Wetmore's Father was White Florida Contractor and Builder FIRST WIFE, JEWESS Second, Texas Nurse, Bore Two Children. NEW YORK. — The remains of Judson Douglas Wetmore, prominent lawyer, were cremated here after he had committed suicide, ending a life of sixty years, during the latter part of which he passed for white. The traced: which took place in the bathroom of his country home in Indian Head Road, Wetmore, dawned on financial difficulties. The lawyer shot himself in the left breast with a 38-caliber revolver. He died at Greenwich Hospital about 7:30 p.m. on the same evening after telling Medical Examiner Clarko that he was murdered and tired of life. Mr Wetmore's health had been impaired for some time and it is said he attempted to take his life the time ago by preparing to jump a bridge when he was stopped by a police officer who put him in a jail and took him home. Mr. Wetmore was born in Tallahassee, Fla., and was the son of the late George W. Wetmore, white, contractor and builder. He received his early education at Cockman Institute, Jacksonville, Fla.

Tammy B and Toney Famous Political Organ Lawyers for REPUBLICAN Finding It Hard to Find TAMMANY HALL, the far famed Democratic Political Organization of New York City, has designated James JAMES S., WATSON, two of New York City's able; and most experienced lawyers as candidates for the offices of Municipal Judges in the Tenth Municipal Court District, re-authorized by a bill of a bill which was passed by the New York State Legislature and CHARLES E made into law by the signature of our Democratic Governor Franklin Roosevelt. It is safe to say that the Republican Organization will find it very difficult to find two men to rank with the Democratic choice in ability, experience, success and with reputations as a leader in leading Republicans readily admit that they are in a dilemma in this respect. Mr. Toney is marri- ssed resides with his wife at 409 Edgecombe Avenue, New York City, and has his law offices at 2313 Seventh Avenue. He is one of our ablest lawyers and has practiced for twenty-six years at the New York Bar, the bar on the Arma, Franklin County, Alabama, in 1878, when a boy, about fifteen years of age, he left Alabama and went to Hornellsville, New York, for the purpose of getting an education and entering the public schools of that city, he was graduated from the Hornellsville High School, (now known as the High School), in 1898. He became a bar, Mr. Toney, an end of Syracuse University at Syracuse, New York, and was graduated to that institution in 1902 with the degree of Ph.B. and again in 1904, he obtained the degree of LL.B. and immediately set out upon the practice of his profession. Since that time, many are the lawyers and lawyers who bear testimony as to a law, especially young Toney, and are well-held himself to his profession and today as a result of his efforts, he is one of the ablest, shrewdest and most successful lawyers of our group. One thing above who else, which appeals to people who know him is that he is honest, stric-fit forward and since care, ripe, in judgement and perplexed with kindness and knowledge of the law.

He said that Mr. Toney always uses beautiful English and uses formal language as he might, in instance could he remember hearing Mr. Toney use a slang phrase. The writer in talking with Mr. Toney, asked him what, among other matters, especially fitted him for a judge of this particular court and received the following reply: The Municipal Court, and then other court in our city, be- Services Last from 12 Until 5 P.M.

The first funeral was held at the St. Andrew M.E. Church, Mt. Washington, Md., with a large crowd in attendance. A guard of 12 soldiers from the local Spanish War veterans' post stood at attention during the services which lasted from 12 until two. From St. Andrew's the funeral procession moved to Long Green, Md., where another service was held at Mt. Zion A.M.E. Church, with the Rev. B. Lee officiating.

An eminent white lawyer said, "To elect such a man as Mr. Toney as a Judge, I would be very grateful." Hon. James S. Watson, one of the nominees of the Democratic Party; to the office of Municipal Court Justice, formed Tenth Judicial District is a lawyer of sixteen years standing. He was born in Jamaica, B.W.L. on May 29th, 1882, and received his primary education in the public school in New York Law School from Beckford and Smith's High School. He came to the United States in 1905, attended the night session of the New York Law School from 1910 to 1913, graduating from the latter institution with the degree of LLB. He was admitted to the University of Chicago in 1914, and began the practice of iL profession. Until 1920, served with the firm of House, Grossman & Vorhaus and was admitted with this firm he was the head of their Corporation, Tax and Contract Division from 1920 to 1920 when he resigned, and opened private offices. He was appointed a Special Assistant, Corporation Counsel of the City of New York on October 1st, 1922, which office he still holds, and maintains of private practice at the above address. Mr. Watson married Miss Violet May Lopez in 1917. Four children have been born to their union. The children resides at No. 117 West 120th Street. Mr. Watson's fraternal associations include Imperial Lodge No. 127, LB.P.O.

He is a member of the Council, the Harriet Lawyers Association, and the Harriet Lawyers Association. Mr. Watson is a Trustee of the Martin-Smith Music School and a member of the St. Martin's Protestant Association. His associates are the Cavga Democrat's Club and the United Colored Democracy. If outstanding ability lor a legal experience, and a legal experience which fit the office of Municipal Court Justice, Mr. Watson, in the opinion of those who have met him is eminently fitted for this high judicial consciousness, with a real love of his profession, he would grace the Bench.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, August 9, 1930 THE RESCUE OF MYRNA By ROSCOE WRIGHT Although of good family, he was not a good supper, of supperment what went on. At the corner of Northampton and Washington streets he waited idly one evening for something to turn up. He glanced at his Waltham—ten o'clock. He yawned. Perhaps it was the boredom of Boston, that made him yawn; perhaps because he was out late the night night. He turned half around. The stranger a short, dark, brown rat-face man, smiled and inquired: "Say, you got the habit, ain't you, friend?" "What habit?" "Aw, don't try to play so dumb, you know!" The stranger laid a hand on Bill's arm. "You know because you gave me the signal!" "I gave you the signal?" "Yes, you gaped . . . tree times and stretched your arms—that means the habit!" Battle decided to play wise. He confessed falsely: "Sure, partner. I've got the habit!" The little man became confessional. He wore a band on Bill's arm. "All right, then! Wait here a minute and I'll get you fixed up!" He was gone in a flash and disappeared around the corner. He was ousted from his ruminations by the authorities of per- tinent years, years of life. "Mister, you the man with the habit?" "Sure, kid!" "Follow me then." "Where?" "If you tell you, mister, it ain't far, though." They started off together. Battle tried to engage the lad in conversation: all he could get were short, pup-like "geps" and "nopes." They walked about three blocks and turned into a dimly lighted, side street. Soon the urchin announced: A MYSTERIOUS HOUSE "Here's the house; come in." They halted in the vestibule of a big, three-story house. The boy rang the bell. A voice called through the speaking tube. "Who is it?" "It's me, momma, and a man who does cleaning." "All right, come up." As Bill stumbled in the stairs he tried to explain that he didn't do any The kid said, "Hush," almost angrily. Little did Battle know that these were the password that he disappeared. Bill was now in a handsomely furnished, living room. Soft lights and velour cushioned overstuffed furniture added to its attractiveness. On a settee in one corner a female lay—evidently a young woman; surely not an old one. She was probably asleep. Bell thought. She was covered with a blanket. The blanket enfolded the contour of her body if it had been draped. He could see the rhythmic rise and fall of her body as she breaths. Her legs were uncovered up to her knees. The boy's mother, a big bloated, brown skin woman of the singles-but-for-the-records type, entered the room. She scrutinized Bill carefully and suspiciously. She seemed to be somewhat doubtful. Her roaring, black eyes noted every detail. His clear, olive complexion, his perfect composure and polite manners caused her to be uncertain of him. He was a typical type that came to her house. The woman was all *uslness. She snapod at him. "What will you have . . . a sniff or a *lab?* He instantly realized that he was in a done joint and that extremes diplomacy was required. "I'll take a sniff!" She reached somewhere beneath her apron and produced a small folded paper which looked exactive like the white half of a Selditz powder. "Here it is. . . You owe me two dollars." He dug up one one-dollar bills and handed them to her. He was about to place the happy-dust in his pocket. A CRITICAL MOMENT The woman snored him quickly. He felt himself going back-back against the wall. He stepped forward to gaze into the mouth of a small Colt automatic and into the digress-like face of the woman. Her eyes blazed are. She covered him steadily. "But, lady, I don't feel like a sniff just now. I er-r. I wanted to have some to take later." "Nobody takes any dope outta this house." I didn't think you woke on the level, anyway." "But, lady!" "But hell, you just a damned stool pigeon trying to get the lowdown on me so you can tell me. I ought to blow your brains out." She threatened him menacingly. A voice called from the settee. "Sally. Sally." Don't scream. He's Sally. "How in the devil you know?" "I know him. Sally. really I do. I met him a few days ago and his O.K. Honest to God, he is!" The girl atrobe and came over to she had—she winked to him as she did. "Well, Myra. if you do know this fool, you'd better tell him something keep him from getting bumped off." "I'll look out for him, Sally." Sally came nearer and laid her hands on Bill's laper! He looked down into her eyes; he was powerless to look anywhere else. He was powerless to look anywhere else. The pupils were unusually wide. She tilted her copper-brown face. "So you are Myrna," he ventured. "Well, Myrna. I thank you for getting me out of a lot of trouble. But you are powerless to look anywhere else. No, but Sally is just crazy growth." to shoot you and I couldn't stand to see you, you hurt!" "So that's why you pretended to know me." She dropped her head. She spoke again. "Come up to my apartment if you don't mind. I live here." Bill, ready for anything, assented. They entered, and she turned the key in the lock. The white, iron bed and a few other cheap pieces of furniture suggested a man's cloister, or a cell or someone doing penance rather than the room of a modern girl. ten. Have a chair beside the bed; Bil sat on a chair beside the bed. Myrna sat on the bed. Her hands folded and unfolded nervously, thought I had come. "Why do you think I had you come up?" I asked, confused. "I don't know." "I want to talk... that's all. I have been confined in this house for three days and you are the only man of refinement that I have ever seen some here. You are not "eat" a drug addict. Are you?" "No. I must admit 'nat I am not.' "Anway, I am not going to ask you why you came to this house because that's none of my business." MYRNA'S STORY "You wouldn't believe it, but I was good once." She sighed deeply. "What's wrong with you now?" There's a whole lot wrong. I have gone to the very dogs! It was done that did it. Dope . . . and . . . "And what?" "And a man!" Myra's mouth twitched. "Well that interesting." "It's a long story. I can't tell you now. The suffering that man and woman endure is enough to drive any girl to the dogs!" She spoke in short, jerky sentences. Her eyes flashed as she talked. She winked. "After this I took to using morphine while working in the hospital. See!" She pulled her dress up. Above the roll of her stocking tops Bill saw dozens of tiny punctures where the hypodermic had been jabbed. He shuddered at the sight. "The doctor urged me to do it, saying it would not harm me and would calm my nerves. The hospital authorities warned me but I kent on! The habit seemed to make my body and soul feel better, and I was dismissed! "I wanted to go some place and forget. . . . I didn't know where I so came to this town and this house. . . . and because I had no money to pay for the drues, I needed someone to help me, and trying to force me to sell myself. "But can't you look at me and see that I am different from these people?" "Yes, cf course. I notched when I saw you and heart you talk." "Tonight, I am almost myself. Ex- "Just fix up a little dose for the needle. I need it! I must have it!" Bill caught her arm. They wrestled. She struggled with him violently. He was too strong for her. The things dropped on the floor. "Because I already think too much of you to allow you "I keep on this way. Because you have suken pretty low, as you think, you should feel that you have to go still lower!" And you really care. "Because you believe it?" "I certainly do." For our sake, am going to try and lay off this stuff. even if I go crazy trying to do without it. I don't think there was a decent man in the world. But I can see that you're not like the rest. A LOUD KNOCK "Open up her, and let me in!" "Who's that?" Bill whispered to her. The knocking continued. "I's Jeff. He lives here on this floor. He's drunk all the time and he's trying to make me give in to him. He'll cause trouble for you!" "I'm not afraid or him!" "I know. Quick! Get under the beam. Take a look at my face. Myra went to the do'n and opene it. Jeff staggered in and attempted to grab her. She sidestepped him quickly. His breath was foul with little dicky girl, he I thought: "Little dicky girl, he I thought: you had company. Been here three days and still think you're too good for me. But you ain't gonna stall me. You're not going to be a heaven. He advanced on her. Instead, Bill, beneath the bed, could hardly hold himself in check. The drunken man's speech reas- sues that the girl was not a prostitute. Bill felt that he could see her insulted no longer. Myra pushed forward. She tried to get back through the door. She said nothing. "Yes, trying to play so virtuous. Dammit! You won't be after tonight." Grabbed her; his feet came close to the bed. Battle's arms shot out. His hard-chucked Jeff's ankles and rulled him over. He bounced again. His head struck the wall he fell and lav there stumped. Battle crawled out over the man's prostrate form. "My God! When . . . comes to tonight, he kill me. . . ." Myrna was much excited. She lerked her coat from off the bed. THE ESCAPE "We must beat it! We cannot get away." They went out the window, down the fire escape and through a dark alley. They were on Washington street. "Where are you taking me?" they tare. "Are you going to be know, some good people. They give you a room. I'll explain things and they'll help you in your fight against dope. That is, if you want to quit. Do you want to Yes. I really am through. After escaping from that dope den, with all of its perils, I swear to never touch the stupefy. But I did that because I did that if you prove to me that you are in earnest you shall have a nice reward. "And what's the reward?" she answered quietly. He kissed her, pulled down the shade in the taxi and answered: "Why, me. of course!"

SIEGFRID WAGNER DEAD. The death of Siegfrid Wagner, son of the great Richard Wagner, at Bayreuth, Germany, recalls vividly his last visit to the United States in 1825 in order to raise funds for the live plays held annually at Bayreuth. Baltimore was included in the cities of this country visited, and Mr. Wagner appeared at the Lyric as guest conductor at a concert given by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. In the time the orchestra played the overture from Siegfried Wagner's "Schwarzschwanenreich." After the completion of the afternoon rehearsal, through the courtesy of Frederick R. Huber, municipal director of music, he conducted five years made it possible for the writer to attend all the rehearsals of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, and the late lamented W. G. Owst, who for many years was the music critic for the Baltimore Symphony. I was in attendance, Mr. Wagner. I found him very cordial and although surrounded by a group of the outstanding local musicians, he found time to discuss with me a few minutes before "The Flying Dutchman," which later was presenty dy the students at Douglass High, although expressing some surprise at the daring undercover activity he me to go on with the project. Mr. Wagner, though a talented musician, throughout his career suffered the misfortune of being the son of one of the world's greatest composer, Siegfried Wagner spent most of his life producing the world famous Bayreuth Music Festivals.

SEVENTH AVENUE. G. HELMS. YORK CITY. REGENT Relief for Readers. Column writing, these hot days, is even a harder job than column-reading, even though you may call me a liar on this score. These are the days when it is much nicer to spread out upon the ground, with a sheltering tree, with a good book and a pitcher of ice-cold beer. Or probably you think the book superfluous. Let somebody else write the column. That's a much nicer way and surely the readers. But strange to say, no one else seems to want the job, and so it appears there is nothing left to do but to write it. Still that doesn't stop me from passing on a story or a poem, and you've heard 'em. But isn't a good yarn, worth hearing twice? Atta Boy. Bill! Walter Winchell is responsible for the following yarn about Bill Robinson, the ace hoofer. Says that gossip: At the Palace Theatre this week two sepa lads warble and hoof in the first-rate manner. They are Mays. Master Mays reminds you of Bill Robinson when he dances—and he scores with a graceful routine of stepping. But what was that Mays is his stage name. He is the son of the terrifically popular Bill Robinson, who has played at the Palace dozens of times. After the act he has clicked, Bill Robinson comes on stage and explains that Mays is his son. "I did a lot of work to show him he was my boy," says Bill, "for fear you give him a hand to please me. I wanted to make sure that he could get over on him." This ought to make a lotta bow-burglars shudder. Damfino! Then there's Joseph Van Raalte's story about the old railroad employee, who, in forty years, never lost a day or once reported late. It runs thus: "We sent for you," said the president of the road, "to commend you on your wonderful record. What is the nature of your work?" "I stand at the station and when the trains come in I walk along the platform and tap the door of each car, with a hammer." Iss Diss A System?

The other night, after a strenuous joust with throatscratch, she bade her escort "bye-bye" and retired. A few second later, she had a meeting with her hotel room and emerged in the corridor stark nude. The seplan bellhop, just passing by, stared in amazement and urged her to come in room. With a grandbouquet gesture, the undraped gal waved him aside and gurgled: "Don't do-all lay hands on me, black man. I'm a lady, you're mistress, a lady from the South!" And that, it seems to me, is about as good a way as any to end this column. Borrows Bathing Suit, Drowns PETERSBURG.

It has been rumored of late that bicycling is to be advertised—in other words, that an attempt will be made to revive the sport that was so popular twenty or thirty years ago. But should we popularize bicycling today? Should we fill the highways an byways with tiny bicycles when motorized vehicles seem to be increasing almost overnight? If each man financially interested in advertising bicycles will guarantee it allow his own son to bicycle along our highways for two or three hours each day while the advertising goes on, we might be more inclined to admit that the bicycle is for today rather than for yesterday.

SAILS AUGUST 16 Is First American to be So Honored. Bv EVA JESSYE NEW YORK.—One of the choicest plums from the theatrical tree fell into the surprised hands of Billy Pierce, noted Negro dance master, last week, when a cable from Charles D. Cochran, veterian English producer, requested his presence in London the latter part of the month to stage all dances for the seasonally awaited Cochran revue. The play will star starring the dancers of the dance force O'Denishaw, all Americans and former pupils of the Pierce Studio in New York. They will head an all-English cast. First American Honored The Times Square Area is all abuzz, wondering how it happened, for in the appointment of an American a time honored custom has been seen aside, the Tiller Studios of England having heretofore been considered criterion of the dance, from the English viewpoint. Pierce will therefore become the first American to go abroad to stage dances for an English production for a British audie nce. Although his name on the program is not known, he is to the London first-nighter, it has been recognized with gratification in many outstanding productions along the gay white way including "Broadway at Palm Beach Nights," "Green Bay Palm Beach Pollies," "Selwyn's 8.15 Review."

Loving no man and being ambitions, she refuses Godfrey's proposal marriage and leaves for Welch, WVa. She is in a cafe there, she is wooed by young Dr. Christine, a wealthy dentist. To escape his attentions she does a job as maid for a mine superintendent in the hills.

Verna admires this brilliant black man more than anyone she has ever been, but she does not fall for her beauty as have all other women.

CHAPTER NINE Terna sighed with relief when her lessons at Professor Komfortf's studio were completed. It was not that she did not like the atmosphere there. On the contrary, the contacts she had made with some of the leading people in the musical world were, she felt sure, quite valuable and would stand her in good stead when she started on her career in earnest. It was because of the attentions of the professor himself that she was glad to go away from the place. And when she finished her last two weeks she had to go out to dinner with the funny little old fellow twice at the International Restaurant. Now that she was free of that burden and had received a certificate showing that she had been under the instruction of the learned master she breathed more easily and was jubilant. The only cloud on the horizon of her happiness now we the Count Ferdinand de laBonnehue. His attentions were persistent and hardly a day passed that he did not send her flowers and call her on the telephone. She always got rid of him as quickly and as politely as one can rid of one's benefactor. Wendell Dalton. a Mystery In the meantime she had been out in the company of Wendell D'aton in several occasions and he he was there, and as ever, he just couldn't understand the man. He took her motoring, took her to visit many of his Negro friends in their palatial apartments on "Sugar Hill" or in the Dumbar Apartments, took her to luncheon and dinner at the first class eating places of Harlem, took her to Small's, the Nest, and a dozen of the maller places, but he never seemed to notice her beauty and never seemed to make of any secrecy. She was beginning of any secrecy, upon him with the eye suspicion, and yet he was one of the most manly men she had ever met or heard of. She had just come back from lichen with Count de Raalbonne at a cute Italian restaurant in the village one day, when the telephone ring. It was Wendell on the wire, "I'm coming down after you," he said in his quiet, forceful way, "You know what you promised about practicing for that recital? Well, I think wed better be starting. What do you say?" She was thrilled. She was thrilled at the prospect of rehearsals for her recital; thrilled that the great Wendel; Dalton was to be her accompanist; thrilled that the two would be alone in the privacy of his studio hour after hour, day after day. She filled crepetishly to herself. Would call as the others had? she asked herself. She told him: "I'll be all ready when you get down here, Mr. Dalton." He intrigue it seemed to call him. Mr. Dalton when she was aching in every nerve to call him Wendell, softly and soothingly! An hour and a half later, the long, blue roadster swept up Edgecombe Avenue and stopped in front of a ritzy apartment house on what is known in Harlem as "Subur Hill." The uniformed footman rushed to help her from the car. She surveyed the place with respect and admiration. He must have money to live in a place like this, she mused to herself. Her surprise was increased, however, when they stepped off the automatic elevator on the sixth floor and entered his palatial four-room apartment with its modernistic furniture, brilliant hangings and golden baby grand piano. The latter, he informed, had been a present from Lady Monroe, a handsome British widow at whose country place he had once spent a week-end or two while in England. Verna thought with a smile of the home of the Richlands in Norrishburg, where she had worked as maid only a little over a year and a half before. She had at that time never brought that Negroes aryhereumed things so beautiful, and yet she was a home that far surpassed anything the Richlands had everreamed of having. Wendell helped her off with her wraps, brought a cooling drink and apologised for the fact that his butler was off for the afternoon Butler Eva echoed to herself. She had notreamed that her Dalton was so successful. She suddenly had a new request for this tall, black man that had triumphed over insuperable obstacles and risen to the heights in his profession. "Now, Miss Nash" he began, seating himself at the piano and beginning to sort over a neat plate of music, Verna Awed Wendell, Unlike the Ot "Why don't your ask me if I'm m Wenden, Unlike the Others, Some "Why don't you ask me if I'm married," she queried innocently. "There are several pieces here that I think are well adapted for you. Suppose we run over them, see what you like and what is appropriate, make a selection and pretty soon I think we can be getting down to work. I'm sure you'll find a whole lot of things here to your liking." Then he began playing over several pieces while Verna tried out her voice on them. Six o'clock came before either of them noticed it. Verna looked at the clock and started to rise to go. "Please permit me to play host, Miss Nash." he said gallantly. "I couldn't think of how you leave heels in love with her at first sight, hears all of the excellent work we've been able to get through this afternoon." agreeable? she challenged, a disappointed. "It's quite evident that it is most people," he assured her. "are to believe our eyes and ear." "But some marriages are agree they not? she pleaded." "Most assured, but they are must admit, the exception," he swerved. "Why can't they a. be agree she asked." Wendell Explains "Because," he explained, "he beings are not perfect; they have in the majority of cases, ad themselves to their environment. They are resilient without harm. What can they be seeking, Miss Nash? Oh, let's cut out the formal she said boldly, toying with her "But I don't wish to impose on you, Mr. Dalton." she said, almost coldly; because trankly, Verna was just a bit disappointed. Other men had spoiled her for a man like Dalton. Where they had fallen 'head over he, after knowing her for over a month, had not given her the slightest indication that he was at all moved by her beauty and charm. For all one afternoon they had sat side by side on the piano bench and he had never so much as placed a hand on hers. "You're not imputing on me, Miss Nash." he insisted. "it is a great pleasure to be in your company and to have you here. You probably notice that I like your company." he added with a sophisticated smile. Young Meets Her Match The man was positively maddening. Here she was, in spite of herse' falling head over heels in love for the first time in her life, and was treating her as if she was just another woman. Wasn't he human? Was he perfectly blind to her charms? For the first time since the day when she had discovered beauty in the cracked looking glass picked up on a trash heap, she decided to consciously make an effort to win a man. Gone was all thoughts of ambition of conquering, of attaining success on her own initiative. For the first time when her life she was a primitive man stalking her prey, intent on getting her man. Of course Wendell Dalton was oblivious to all of these thoughts racing around in the pretty head of Verna Nash. Or if he was able to read her mind he showed no indication of it. The butter prepared a very nice collation and they dined while the radio played gay music from one of the big hotels. All during the meal she caught herself time and again almost staring at him, watching the graceful way he used his hands, the THE AFRO-AMERICAN firm set of his chin, the cultured tone of his voice. Finally, when they had finished their dessert, she decided to ask him the question that had been uppermost in her mind even since the first evening she had met him at Margt Yancey's party. "Are you married, Mr. Dalton?" She asked it timidly, half regretful of her weakness. "Of course, you would ask me that," he remarked, with a smile. "Oh, I didn't mean anything," she hastily replied, confused. "Of course you did," he contradicted. "You meant to find out. All women want to know whether a man is married or not. It is only natural. Well, to satisfy your curiosity: I'm not." "Why don't you ask me whether I'm married?" she queried, innocently. "What difference does it make? he countered. 'You are, beautiful girl and you're charming company What more could a man ask? What difference does it make whether you are married or living with a very nice ever together and evidently find each other quite congenial company. Why then, talk about such disagreeable things as marriage?" "So you consider marriage dis- others, Seems Uninterested married," she queried innocently. "agreeable?" she challenged, a trifle disappointed. "It's quite evident that it is for most people," he assured her, "if we are to believe our eyes and ears." "But some marriages are agreeable, are they not?" she pleaded. "Most assuredly, but they are, you must admit, the exception," he answered. "Why can't they all be agreeable?" she asked. Wendell Explains "Because," he explained, "human beings are not perfect: they have not, in the majority of cases, adjusted themselves to their environment. They are restless without knowing what they are seeking, Miss Nash." "Oh, let's cut out the formalities," she said boldly, toying with her spoon, "and stop calling me. I Miss Nash,杰利. Oh, how she had been wanting to call him Wendell. Nevertheless, she flushed slightly at her boldness. How handsome he looked sitting in the dim light!" "Just as you wish, Verna," she laughed. "I never make it a point to tak liberties with women, you know. Everybody does that, and the women have come to expect it. I try to be an exceptional individual. There is no distinction in being like everyone else and doing the same things everybody else does." "You're a queen fellow," she said, puzzled and slightly wrinkling her brow. "I cannot understand you at "That's because I am frank and natural," he replied, "whereas most people spend most of their time pretending they are something different from what they are." "If you're so frank," she asked, "why not tell me why you, a real; big and successful young man, have not yet married?" "That's an easy one to answer: I just haven't found the young lady that fits my ideal of a wife. When I find her perhaps I shall get married, which probably means never." "So you don't think any woman is good enough for you, eh?" "Don't misunderstand me. Verna," he said soberly. "There are countless women good enought and too good for me. That is not the point at all. The point is, that when I marry, my wife must be a certain type of woman, and I must marain that that type is rare. Every woman I become intimate with my ideal calls for but no one of them possesses all. When I meet a woman who has all of them, I'll marry her." "Supose she refuses you?" Verna "She won't refuse me," he snapped, sitting upright and looking at me. "I want to get what I want in."

When such a world exists, I should claim her if the whole world stands in my path to hinder me. Verna was thrilled by the intensity and passion of his tone. She had not believed him capable of such emotion. He had seemed so cold so suave, so rigidly precise, so unhuman, so exhilaration exhibition came from her rather pleasant surprise. In thrilled her to know that at last she had penetrated his defenses. An Open Confession "How silly of me," he smiled, relaxing. "Sometimes, I forget myself." laxing. "Sometimes I forget myself."

I'm no saint, as you have probably surmised, nor need you think that I waste my life in the loneliness of this apartment without female company." "I don't see how you could," she remarked coquettish, "as a fine fellow as you are." "Do you really think so?" he asked, leaning over until his face almost touched hers. "Yes," she breathed softly, her eyes blissfully half closed. "You're the first man I've ever met." They looked at each other for a full minute, their eyes eloquent. Verna's heart stood still. She wondered what he would do now, when she had been so cold. What would he do? In answer, the doorbell rang. That broke the spell. And under her breath Verna cursed for the first time in her life. Right at a romantic climax and the doorbell had to ring. She smiled dryly to herself as Wendell rose and went to the door.

"Want to go, Verna?" asked Wendell, and she thought she detected a softness in his voice that she had never noted before. Could he actually be falling? "Sure, I'm game," she volunteered. "All right, then, people," cried Sanders, "let's be mochin." They took a taxi cab down to the cabaret and twenty minutes later were seated around a little table, sipping cocktails and watching twelve brownskin chirones go through the intricacies of off-beat dancing. Verna was eager for the show to go off and to dance again with Wendell Dalton. An Old Friend Suddenly on the far side of the room she spied a familiar face. Could it be he? She peered again through the haze of smoke while the dancing waiters, their trays aloft, stamped by grinning and keeping perfect time. Yes, it was Donald Baxter! Donald Baxter, and drunk! He was looking in their direction. He had recognized her. She sat almost frozen with fear. He hurled forward and wended his way through the forest of tables. There was no escape; she would have to see it through. The blood drained from her face. She glanced down to hide her confusion and to side. When she looked up he was standing leering over his table, laughing unsteadily from side to side. He still well. He leered sardonically, "So I've caught the old coon at last! Smart kid, isn't you?

This is an exclusive Illustrated Feature Section feature provided for your entertainment. Look forward each week to "Baffling Murders." THE COLLINS MURDER CASE By BROWNING STREAT BEGIN READING HERE: Rubens Holcomb, former crack member of the Chicago Police Department, has greatly impressed Ralph Miles and his colleagues with the depth of experience with the more crafty type of criminals. Indeed, it is for this reason that he met the man, where we three men met and formed this "crime analyst troo" that will probably live long in our memories. Charlotte, the Mitchell, and the Simmons murder case—had had them all and now, on this fourth night, Holcomb began to unravel the Collins man in one of the warehouses along Chicago's water front, hears shooting on one of the ships anchored out in the ocean, receives Vade and Holcomb are detailed to investigate and subsequently reach the political yacht Bettie B. owned by Sirry Collins, well-known banker and curio collector. He explains, receives them aboard and hastily conducts them to his employer's stateroom. Mr. Collins is attached on the bed with a dagger. For explanation, Ricks tells the defense that he was a six month's cruise to Africa. He says Collins planned it in order to break up his saint friendship with a girl he met in a skiff to being kidnapped and营救 aboard just before they sailed. An enthusiastic curio collector Mr. Collins, who was crowned, in Cape Town, Africa. Ricks advances the theory that it was stolen from one of the initial given gifts to the girl, and later discovered a poisoned dagger imbedded in the side of the wheel house. The danger had been thrown overboard. Following another possible case, Ricks mentions that Mr. Collins and Mr. Nelson had engaged in a heated argument. Ricks is suddenly interrupted by the entrance into the room of a female member of the party, who is jumping and sarcastically suggests that sticks tell the affectives about the time he came aboard drunk in Knocheny, an employer. She goes further. She insists that he tell them about the awful scene he made the day before when Mr. Collins informed him that he was no longer, no longer, no longer, after he reached Chicago. CHAPTER TWO Captain Ricks's plump, dark face had suddenly gone pale. His beady black eyed had met the impudent ones of the woman with a buiding, startled glare. Now, with the dives moving nearer, he fairly trembled. "But, Miss Smithson!" he cause: "surely you don't think I did this!" not the question. Ricks" she replied calmly. Only it you're going to give information. I think you ought to give it completely." And with that she turned and walked out of the room. The captain whirled around and faced the officers. "I swear 'God, ment' he cried. "I didn't kill Collins" "Who said you did?" Holcombe murmured tersely. "No one. Now, please calm yourself. Ricks. From cabin boy up I want, every man and woman board of forty minutes. Collins's office "side of forty minutes. Until then, please give yourself." Ricks turned and stumbled out of the room. The detectives began an investigation, Wade passing through the bath toward the office beyond, while Holcomb turned his attention to the corpse, his finely chiselled features reflecting every now and then, the slightest hint of reluctance. With two careful fingers, he rushed down and grasped the dagger, jerking the blinking blade out of the shirt to soft breast. No manufacturers mark there. He turned to the fist that clutched the end of the sheet, an began prying the stiff fingers apart. They gave one by one, with the elasticity of heavy wire; and as the end of the sheet fell back to the inert body, Holcomb's eyes suddenly narrowed. Quickly he ripped it off and hurried toward the bathroom door— Holcomb had almost reached Wade's side when a peculiar giggle sounded within the room he had just left. His swung around. Wade had rushed toward him. Again that nolure g.gggle! Amazed they headed into the ceath room. They stopped, paralyzed. He was standing there by the outside door gazing gleefully at the corpse—wringing her hands—giggling! Had they lost their minds? Was this an optical illusion? No! Her black eyes were like two round balls of fire as she flashed them a glance and then laughed outright—a very dark young woman, her feet and full round legs bare, a heavy man's overcoat wrapped around her, long undressed hair falling back over her shoulders—a beautiful black woman with flashing white teeth and satiny skin. "Who are you?" Holcomb rushed forward and cried. She parted her lips and stared up at him. Then: "I be Loanda," she giggled, wringing her toes. "You did it?"—harsily. "I do no. Flery god, he do. Loanda happy." "God! Where are you from? How'd you get here?" "My people, she be in British East Africa," she smiled. "Dog of a snake steal my people's crown. I follow Cape Town. He sell to Fishcash" she pointed toward the corpse. "I make loff to kuke. He no know why He steal me on ship. Keep me hide all time." They stepped back in amazement. "Kuke sleep. Everybody sleep.

She moved like a cat. She rushed The Captain Appears Nervous "But Miss Smithson," he gasped, "But Miss Smithson," he gasped, "surely you don't think I did this." past them to the wall, brushed a picture to the floor, and thrust her arm in the square hole. Suddenly her lips began to move rapidly. Again and again, she thrust her hand into the hole. The crown was gone!

And to his right young Collins and Attorney Nelson s glaring at Loanda. Abruptly Holcomb began to talk. "Someone," he said calmly, in this room killed Harvey Collins. The lawyer "up to his feet, sputtering. Why, that's as plain as it is." He spat into Holcomb's face. "Is there any other logical explanation for the presence on board of this hell-cat?" He pointed toward the cringing Loanda. "It is a discredit to your reputation to harp on something that is plainly obvious, sir." The room filled with droning murmurs. Young Collins sneered openly.

Hundreds and thousands of people write to me every year and say that they are not good for anything because they have never been able to find the kind of work that has interested them, or where they are happy and contented. Many of these people are utterly discouraged. They feel that there is no use in trying to go ahead and do anything with the talk they are interested in and many other things in order to get away from the feelings that they are utter failures in life. While all this is true, each of these persons has something she could take and use—if he or she knew what it was. You may have been bitterly disappointed to have felt that there was nothing worth while for you to do and vet if you had really known yourself as you are there you could have found some particular kind of work that would have given you a great deal of satisfaction and where you could have made a name and a reputation. You ARE good for something. There is not the slightest question about this; and just as this is true, it is also true that your handwriting—the little letters that you put together in forming words—in pen and ink or pencil—tell the story of just what you are good for. Your writing is different from that of all your friends. This is true because it is a picture of you, and the qualities that you have with which to make a success in life are different from what your friends have. I remember a long time ago when I was a small boy, a neighbor of ours said it was a fortunate thing that people did not all think because if they did, they would have all fallen in love with his wife. I did that, that lady particularly and *Holcomb slowly began again. "Very well," he said. "I can appreciate the fact that this is most unpleasant for some of you. I shall proceed to the solution. My first step will be to request each gentleman to hand. Detective Wade his fountain palm. One one complies. Wade pumps them to Holcomb. A moment later he was, with first one pen, then another, calmly scribbling on a piece of paper. Suddenly he whispered something to his companion, after which Wade crossed swiftly to the lawyer and snapped on a pair of handeffects. Everyone sitting jumped to his feet. Young Collins stood paralyzed. Lawyer Nelson bared his teeth and spat at the snake. "Woof!" he roared. "What does this mean?" "Allow me, Mr. Nelson," Holcomb drowned. "to refresh your memory. The same day the Bettle B left on her cruise you forged a note on Mr. Collins for ten thousand dollars. You probably intended to make it good it and when certain of your investments matured properly. Detective Wade found it among Mr. Collins's papers. Here it is. Here also is one of his own signatures. "The forgery is very good but, un fortunately for you, it is not perfect. I imagine that Mr. Collins was notified about this in New York a few days ago. That would account for the argument you had yesterday, during which he probably threatened to have you prosecuted.

DEAR PANSY: Rain, rain, is the latest cry. This continuous long drought and heat are fatiguing to everybody. The poor farmers are in despair, and the high cost of food has already begun to show the effect. Nobody is nearly at a stand still, those who haven't been fortunate enough to leave the city are taking it as easy and as quiet as possible and seeking the coolest spots they can reach. Thus so far the happenings of the week are just noo, but there's one at least will interest you. Jean's Engagement. The engraved announcements read like this: Pansy: Dr. Windfield Grandville Pollard, Jr. Rather unusual for a written announcement of an engagement, however. Dr. and Mrs. Fisher who have been married for over 40 years are loved by everybody, have a reputation for doing things only in the right and proper form. Now the young gents know that the charming Miss Jean will spend her time with Dr. Pollard, who, we have learned later, is from Cleveland, Ohio. Jean is a senior at Morgan College and her charming personality has won for her many friends. She is making folk want to know when it is coming off and what trimming will go with it. Gossip. Don't look like Mildred Jefferson's mother is going to send out card announcing her daughter's marriage to Ulman Ray this week, for accolades to mount the award she absolutely nothing about it until she read of it in the press. No doubt the happy couple stole a march on her. Too bad if it took place without her knowledge, for she seems quite upset about it. But young people as a team intentionally do so many foolish things. The prospective bride and groom, Ruby West and Nelson Groomes, with Dr. and Mrs. Robert Hatchett and Albert Groomes, motored to Coulton, Md., on Sunday. There is a reason for a broad smile; a bassist is rocking to and she L. Davieses, 1128 Stockton street. After his daddy, of course, a bouncing baby boy, born last Saturday.

So with their young son, Junior, they are visiting his people out West. A motor party consisting of Mrs. A. E. Short, Miss Eva Short, Mrs. Lillian Watty and her son Robert, and Dr. James Blake, enjoyed the scenery at Harpers Ferry and Charles Town, W. Va. on Sunday.

Roscoe DeWitt Price, of 2126 Drudg Hill Avenue, hardly knows what to do with himself since his wife, Ema, has been away attending summer school at Columbia University. However, it won't be long now. Schools are closing on Friday. Ethel Jones has been seen quite often at Drudg Hill Park in and out of town Chevie. We wonder if it is anything serious. Professor Cecil Cohen, teacher of piano at Howard University, and Alonzo Aden, were lunch guests last week at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Hermond White. Wrs. Mw. H. McAbee, of 1225 W.

Traveled Doing War Work During the late war the League of Women Workers called her to New York City to travel through the Middle and New England states to lecture to clubs of working girls as a reconstruction measure, standing between white and colored working girls. She also headed the food conservation and Red Cross work here, organizing the colored women of the city for this purpose. After the war, as a result of a competitive examination, she was recruited in the city health department, which position she now holds. Mrs. Fernandis has found time during her busy life to devote to her special hobby, writing poems, a skill she has practiced in 1925. She is the author of the Hampton Alma Mater song. Perhaps the best known of her volume of poems is "Vision, which seems to tell," she writes in service, as expressed in these lines, the last of a three-stanza poem: "Then all the present things that hurt and vex. The questionings that trouble and perplex. For a brief moment seem to fade." And the swift glimse of life's full treasure-trove. Its unspent wealth of beauty. joy. and love.

Testimony at the Southwestern police station showed that Keys visited the place early Sunday evening but was ejected from the house when he asked for his wife whom he had followed to the place. Not to be daunted, the man went to an adjoining house and climbed on a roof, full view of several of the side rooms. Acting on what he had seen, the man notified police, who raided the house.

The society is also giving aid to needy families throughout the county. Death stepped in and won where the police of a dozen cities had failed, and broke the union of Sarah and William Chambers, two of the most notorious characters of the underworld, when the woman, in a fit of jealousy, murdered her husband, last week. For years they had plugged along together taking the raps as they were handed out by first one judge and another. Together they had faced the court on innumerable occasions, always silently; one never squealing on the other. If conviction came it did so because the coppers had the goods on them—Sarah and Bill "Didn't know nothing." Up to the big house they would go and even the long periods of separating their attachment. If Bill got out first he would hurt somewhere near until Sarah was released; and shr would do the same. Convicted on White Slavery Charge Two years ago they were convicted in the local courts after police raided their home and rescued a number of young girls who were being held in slavery where their bodies were being sold to men. Girls, ranging in years from 14 to 18 were liberated from a life of half over by Sarah and Bill, were smashed and the half clad, wild-eyed girls, gathered from God knows where, were freed. At this time it was revealed that runners were kept in the streets picking up men of both races to com and girls. The pair were convicted of humilious minors for humoral purposes. Taught Lessons Well That Sarah was a good teacher in the art of rilling the pockets of male visitors who visited the den, was evidenced by the case of Dorothy Matthews. 16. recognized queen of the underworld, who rose to this position by virtue of her estate in the city and did by the pain. 17 is almost ironic that on the same day that Sarah was arrested for murder, Dorothy, her protege, was convicted of practicing the methods she had been taught at the age of 14. To be Carried Back After their release from the Maryland penitentiary, Sarah and Bill traveled around together again, winding up in Safe Harbor. Pennsylvania, a fitting place for those who are constantly running afoul of the law. Even here, however, they were caught in a fight of danger the woman shot the man who had been her companion in crime for the past decade. She made her escape, but could not desert her old haunts in Baltimore. She was arrested by the Avenues police, who recognize and now allow extra-traction to Pennsylvania to answer for her crime.

SCHOOL ENROLLMENT PARALLELS LIFE SPAN SCHOOL ENROLLMENT PARALLELS LIFE SPAN Dr. Weglein Gives Educational Survey to Morgan College Studets. TO GIVE TWO PLAYS Club to Present Dramas and Informal Reception. The increase in the high school enrollment throughout the country attends attendant problems, is similar to the increase in the span of life of the average individual which multiplies the number of diseases of the advanced ages, declared Dr. David E. McGraw, the president of the public schools of Baltimore, to the students of Morgan College Summer School, Wednesday at the bi-weekly assembly. Dr. Wleglein gave a penetrating analogy of the whole present educational situation. The tremendous increase in se.ndary school enrollment all over the United States has created problems for school administrators; it has also contributed to past twenty years. The total population has not increased in anything like the same proportion. This increase is analogous to the increase of the *s*^a*n* of life of the average individual. It is improved methods of living and better knowledge of the laws of health. People live longer today than before, but are subject to the same risks as others to more life. The reasons for this is that people who in former times would have died at older ages now live longer and are less susceptible to more diseases as they predecease. The problem of over-population in the high schools and the problems of health caused by the lengthening of the span of life have many points of concern. He stated that the *a*^t of education was to provide for each individual the kind of education that this general capacity and inclination could absorb. AFRO Editor to Speak Walter S.

In the next round 8-6, 3-6, 6-2 to enter the semifinals. Richardson is ranked 10th. Nathaniel Jackson of Laurentburg, N.C., Virginia and North Carolina Open Champion, gave Satch his biggest scare of the tournament when he missed the final match and pressed the New Yorker hard before yielding, the deciding stanza 6-4. Satch's uncanny slice cutting every line and shooting from corner to corner was more than the national junior champion could endure.

Ave. Opp. Lafayette Mkt. this season have lost two championships to the Jackson brothers, staged a great rally in the finals of their series with the sets and disallowed at the Virginia and Carolina titleholders after a breath-taking fifth set which found the Jackson within one point of the banals of the skillful Nathaniel Jackson. The Jackson's were trailing 5-8 in the last set when they broke through McGriff's service, and they were able to deliver to the set. It looked like another a---onship for "the kids," when Downing dropped his delivery and asked his soi to count. 5-5 his favoy. But at 40-30 he netted a vail and McGriff and Downing took on new life and paraded around that and the other two, and champions they were in 1924. McGriff was again himself at the net, and nothing went by while Downing's cross-court drive drove the defenders constantly the defensive. Ted Uses Volley Ted Thompson's superiority over his arch rival was displaced in his unannoying volleying from the fore-court. Continually his way to the net, Ted ended off shots for the clean placements e-ing the court. Continually his way to the net, Ted ended off shots for the clean placements time after time. Saitch was on the defensive for the most part, and his slice was too slow to get by Thompson enough to win. However, fully a dozen of Joe Dereut drives .jent the down the side nippings hit off bits of white line for the ball. Both played heads-on tennis, but Ted got the *age* by his forecourt game. In the two sets that he won, Saitch's offensive co-ordination of driving shots backhand and rushing to the net where he is at least equal to the two-times champion.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, August 9, 1930 WASH UP AFTER THE SWIM Bathing beaches, swimming lakes, lakes, brooks, and rivers invite us to forget the heat and cool off for a while. Whether we strike out boldly into deep water or merely venture out to the waist, there is a pleasant way of spending a summer afternoon. no more pleasant way to enjoy the refreshing dip. Part of the joy lies in lolling about after the refreshing dip. Picnic lunches are especially satisfying to appetites made keen by exercise, water, and air. For those actively inclined a game of ball helps to make the hours pass pleasantly. Others are satisfied to gaze up at the clouds or listen to the lap of the waters against the shore. By the time we are ready to dress and go home, however, part of the exhilaration is likely to have vanished. Particles of moist earth or sand irritate our skins. Crumbs from the plenic lunch elbow to our fingers and lips. Even if we plunge into the water again before dressing, there remains a sticky feeling that makes putting on clothes somewhat uncomfortable. what unfortunate. Most modern bathing beaches are equipped with showers so that a towel and a cakc of soap are the only extra equipment needed to enable the bather to wash up before dressing. If no clean, fresh water is available, the next best procedure is to step into a cleansing bath as soon as you reach home. For the best way to prolong the pleasant sense of well-being that results from a dip in the deep is thorough washing with soap and water. Godfrey's Manager Admits Fighter Near End of Career Godfrey's Manager Admits Fighter Near End of Career Dougherty Says Gawge Had Chance but Muffed It. Be lieves Carnera is Best Heavy. Explains About Godfrey's New Car. PHILADELPHIA.—An indication that Jimmy Dougherty, manager of George Godfrey, t he Leiperville heavyweight, believes that his charge has just about neared the end of his career, was given here this week when the aging Baron spoke his mind to T. von Ziekursch, white newspaperman. Carnera, Dougherty declared, is the real heavyweight champion of the world. Asked about Godfrey and Sharkey, he shook his head and said: where it had bocum—the heavyweights. "They ain't nobody can beat Carnera, Von." said Jim, "and Til tell you why. His's the strongest man in the ring, the strongest man that ever was in the ring." I remarked that I'd like to have the Dempsey of 1920 against him, and the old Baron laughed. "Dempsey never fought nobody like him." "Nobody as strong and tough." I mentioned Firpo's name. "Well, yes." said the Baron. "You're right about that. Firpo was stronger and you had him the right. But just the same, this Carnera is the champ today, Von. You'll see." "Godfrey had his chance and thought he was going up against a bum. So did I. They surprised me. George wouldn't train because he figured it was a set-up. And his arms went tired. When he tried to get in close and rest the way he does again most o' them tellers his big Canary just thrown him off and tossed him around and hit him in the neck. "Now I know, what's in your mind. You heard them stories, too. Well, I tell you. When I heard about George getting a new machine and rolling in money after the fight I done some investigating. He'd bought that new machine before the fight and he was to make a $500 down payment on it. There wasn't no $500 left for him after the commission fined him for foulin' Carnera, so they took his new machine away from him even he'd paid sometim' on it. To get it back for him I had to go his note and pay the $500 for him" There was a sad tone to the Baron's voice Perhaps it came out of thoughts of the $40,000 he had refused to take if he would guarantee to have the fight end as it did, in a foul.

WILSON'S BAT TELLS Pete Washington's Brilliant Fielding Thrills Fans. Rejuvenated by the addition of some new players who are rapidly proving their worth, the Black Sox nosed out Hildale in two close encounters at Maryland Park, Sunday, by the scores of 2-1 and 3-1. The games were two of the best winnened on the local diamond this season, the first contest going eleven innings before a decision was reached. This game found Yokely, of the local staff, opposed by Phillip (Cry Baby) Cockrell, Dalsy leader and mall-ball exponent. No Score Till Seventh The two hurlers pitched scoreless but until the seventh, when the Black Sox tallied one. Hildale scored in the ninth. Hubbard doubled, going to third on Curry's run, in right field, and scoring when Burke saved a clean single over second base.

Sunday. SMITH HITS HARD Cox and Holland, Pitchers, Both in Good Form. NEW YORK.-The Lincoln Giants added two more victories to their long list on Sunday when they defeated the Mayfair nine and the Legion nine of Frankfort. Both teams come from suburbs of Philadelphia and have made splendid showings against colored clubs in the Quaker City. They were both badly outplayed by the Mayfair team losing by a score of 7-1 and the Legion by a sombre of 14 to 2. Cox and Holland were pitchers for the local team and both were in good form. They also had their batting average in the three times to the plate, and Holland getting three hits and scoring three runs in four times at bat. Charles Smith got his usual quota of home runs, making one in each of the three baggers in the second contest and Clint Thomas made one in the first.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, August 9, 1930 'SHOE EXPERTS START HearMeTalkin'toYa T HAS BEEN estimated that a crowd of 70,000, or more, will be on hand Thursday night when Kid Chocolate and Jack (Kid) Berg mingle in their ten-round bout at the Polo Grounds in New York. Considering the humidity and the generally complained-about financial depression, the financial outlay that these patrons of swat will place in the box office will mark this fuss as one of the most outstanding of the season's fistic-tid bids. Whether you believe it or not, Chocolate will be facing one of the greatest fights of his meteoric career, for while Berg is unorthodox and is not the skillful mitt handler that the Cuban is, he is nevertheless, a tireless, plugging sort of a performer, who won't give up until he has played his last card. Berg is a not quitter. In addition, Chocolate will be spotting him some flesh, which while not unusual for him to do, is certainly nothing in his favor. I am picking the Bomb Bomb Buddy to win, but I certainly am not predicting one of those first-round knockouts. Chocolate's handlers say that the Keed will refrigerate Berg in easy fashion, making it apparent to Al Singer that the sepia hued ring is all the more deserving of a title shot. This writer believes that, pound for pound, Chocolate is the best fighter in the ring today. And that is taking in a lot of territory, as men as an amateur or a professional and only one drew in his career, the Cuban is a marvel of ring perfected and the tale is told that he bought the film of the Joe Gans Nelson fight at Goldfield in order that he might view it over and over again, with an aim toward gaining some points from Bellport's importal for the improvement of his own style. A report has it that Chocolate has 114 suits and almost as many pairs of shoes, not to mention other wearing apparel. Harlem looks upon him as its most flashily dressed citizen. I hope that he is saving some of his money for that day when his fists will be of less service to him. Against Berg, Thursday night, the Keed will have an opportunity to open up his bag of fistic tricks, for he is just as flashy in the ring as he is out of it. It's going to be one helium fight and if Chocolate doesn't win, all of his backers. If laid end to end, would still be cuckoo. Ho-Hum! Not that it means anything in particular to you, but just to keep the records straight, let it be said here that Primo Carnera, the Vast Venetian, and Leon (Bombo) Chevallier, have been rematched for their proposed battle of "vindication." August 14 has been decided upon as the date and Chicago, the place. You probably remember the purrid mess out in California when Carnera and his manager, Leon Gos, were suspended because it developed that the Mahler's flight with Chevallier had not been on officials to show cause why he should not be deported, stands an excellent chance of remaining in this country for several more months, buncoing the gullible public of more simoleons with which to line his enormous jeans. At the hearing it was brought out that Carnera had done quite a bit for "charity" since landing in the United States, donating much money from his bouts to the interest of displaced children, several commissioners were to snicker while others weep. Treally as they heard the accuser of the Ambiling Alp's benefactions, So much will remain. In his meeting with Chevalier, Carrera was hopefully outclassed, and it was only after Chevalier had been nearly blinded by vitriol placed in his eyes by Carrera's handlers that a hirling of Leon fee tossed in the towel, indicative of Chevalier's desire to quit. This writer, for one, hopes that if these two fighters meet that there will be no seconds in the corners and not touches within a half mile radius of the ring. He would like also, to have the terms read that the winner takes all, with a cordon of police thrown around the ring to watch out for gangsters, Chevalier would have an even chance to win. The suggestion is free.

There are so many persons who work late and who are nevertheless interested in baseball that it seems logical to assume that they would appreciate a good game of night baseball. The principal trouble in the East, I believe, is in getting suitable opponents, not in getting suitable equipment. So far this season, it has been a rather tough job to get desirable teams for Sunday games. Maybe that's the reason we have no night baseball. Maybe, I say.

It appears to me that the press representatives of the national body might bestir themselves with a release on the tournament and not leave it all to the already over-burdened sports chroniclers. About Dobbin's Cast-offs— Now that the AFRO's second annual horseshoe tourney is under way, local tossers might be interested in knowing what is going on among the twirlers of Dobbin's cast-offs in Washington and Alexandria. A report, coming from Alexandria, says: "Chairman Arthur A. Greene has appointed Miss E. E. Carter chairman of the Alexandria tournament. Miss Carter, director in charge of the playground, handled the events last year, and the tourney was a marked success, in fast, and a large field is expected. Entries will be received up to the time of play. "Melvin Carter, defending champion, is working on his game. Ike Marshall, runner-up in 1929, is showing well in tune-up games.

BASEBALL AT LOW EBB IN DETROIT--REPORT Jim Crow Tactics of Owner of Detroit Stars Blamed for Condition. ONLY 500 OUT SUNDAY Smallest Crowd in Motor City History. DETROIT, Mich.—If there is no change in the present administration functioning at the new Hamtramck stadium, Detroit may be without representation in the Negro National League. John Roosink, white owner of the Detroit Stars, is disgusted with the small attendance at his ball orcard, and has his ears to the ground in an effort to hear an offer for his club. If salk is feeling the result of the wave of resentment, he has only himself to blame. The general dislike for the white owner has been growing steadily, and he began to greet his patrons with his pet remarks of "shines" and "coons." The leaders of the fights to boycott the Hamtramck stadium interviewed John Tennant, Blake Lively last week and asked him about the rumors that Roeklin had attempted to serease race fans at the old park out Mack Avenue in 1923. John Roeklin attempted to serease the colored fans by bringing them certain boxes, white reserving another section, and only after a long time that I was able to prove to Roeklin that my patronate would fall off if he instituted racial discrimination in the action. Because so obnoxious to the fans in 1924 that I had to bar him from the park for a month, his present actions are surprising. That the fans are rallying to the flight to boycott the Hamtamck stadium was shown Sunday when the Detroit Stars played to the smallest crowd to witness a rame club has been located. Less than 100 fans attended the doubleheader between the Louisville Bears Caps and the Detroit Stars.

(ANP.)- Although welterweight champion Young Jack Thompson took a neat lacing from Young from the fact that Corbett has handed similar pastings to the best of the other men in the division, one man has been f'd that feels that Thompson can be trained to deflect the Fresno denial championship match. This view is held by Watson Burns, an oldtimer among prize fight trainers who handled Thompson less rooky days and worked with Burns theories are so sentient that they have gained for him the title of professor. He feels that all Thompson needs to take into account his left-footedness of fighting, and solve the puzzle that there is in '11. Corbett's peculiar manner of using his left glove enables him to sh:r: over heavy blows from that glove that is called unorthodox. Thompson, Burns belle 'es, is speedier, cleverer, and possesses a superior punch, all of which asses can be used to its advantage. It is made of Corbett's fighting methods.

Fruit Stains on Silks Fruit stains are obstinate and difficult to remove from silica fabric, your skin, or your clothing. Alcohol containing a few drops of ammonia: the safer thing to do would be to bring your dress to a reliable cleaning establishment and wash it. For Soiled Felt Hats Soak a clean cloth in gasoline or soak a fabric in water. Allow before wearing. China Cement A good cement for mending broken china can be made by stirring plaster of Paris into the beaten white of an egg, to the consistency of paste. When Paper Sticks If paper sticks to the polished surface of a table, it can be removed by softening with olive oil and then rubbing with a soft cloth. Freshens Wilted Lettuce If lettuce, or any other kind of greens, is wilted, wash carefully the lettuce. If the lettuce is too wilted, add two tablespoonfuls of vinegar or lemon juice, and allow it to stand for about an hour. Then wash in cold water, and be restored to its former freshness. Rich Creamy Soup Put a pie of cheese about the size of an English walnut in each quart of soup before serving, and it will give the soup a rich, creamy taste.

This prevents dirt from accumulating. Finger nails can be hardened by rubbing them with vase-lin. Sagging Seats When cane seats are ragged, wash them with a damp cloth in the a sun. This will tint them. * FOOD TALK We hear a lot these days about alkaline and acid forming foods. Sometimes I feel that we hear too much. Too many times the impression is left that acid forming foods are omitted, and there is possibly alkaline forming ones. It is true that an excess of foods leaving an acid residue will lead to serious trouble and an untimely death. While there is not so much danger in getting many of the alkaline in their eating those who are immoderate in their eating foods are likewise in for trouble. The tissues of the body as well as the blood are alkaline, and health demands that alkalinity be maintained. Egg, meat and fish tend to reduce the alkaline Milk, milk and bread tend to increase it. Cereals have little effect one way or the other. Fortunately, the body is able to maintain its alkaline reserve if the tendency of the body to believe, however, that it is best not to depend too much upon his power of the body but to maintain the balance between the acid and the alkaline foods. This means that when meat and eggs are used, vegetarian foods are reduced to affect their alkaline-forming tendencies—a function which bread and cereals cannot perform. The exact proportions cannot be stated, but to be on the safe side, use fruits, vegetables in abundance, exclusive of exclusion of cereals and foods. In other words, an adequate diet is recommended by our authorities in nutrition. Cold Tomato Catsup 1 peek ripe tomatoes, 1 pint vinegar, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 teaspoon fresh ground vines, 1 teaspoon fresh ground grass garlic, 1 teaspoon all-spice. Wash tomatoes and chop fine. Press through a wire sieve to remove seeds. Then put purée in a bowl and drain off. The liquid is not used in the catsup. Thin the pulp with the vinegar. Season with salt, cloves, pepper, garlic, and allspice. Pour into sterilized bottles and this. This catus retains the taste of the fresh tomatoes and is an excellent flavoring for soups and sauces. The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, August,9, 1930 WATCHING THE BIG PARADE WATCHING THE BIG PARADE By RALP MATTHEWS Are Lodges Necessary? Annually from June until September, the tranquility of nearly every urban centre of any importance is disturbed by an invasion of moguls, kleaques, grand and exalted this, that and those, and their noses in the air. In spite of the bi-email or semi-annual national, international or state-wide convention. This naturally brings to mind the question, are lodges necessary? In spite of the orders have done anything to date bides waste hardearned cash to justify their existence, a liberal-minded column-writing yellow, like myself, feels that the affirmative by a wide stretch of the imagination. Although an anti-fra�ralist, I must concede that lodges are a very necessary evil just like dentists, insurance collectors, and doctors About this time of year the tribal instinct which has not, completely been eradicated in the American, rises to an uncontrollable height, and a natural gregariousness which remains dormant during the temperate winter months. For expression, an unquenchable desire to hard with his fellowmen must be satisfied and the convention was inadvertent in the natural thirst for mass companionship. Conventions Bring Prosperity. Railroad and steamship companies long since discovered this simple peculiarity and began to aid and abet the railroad's operations. The statistics show that more than two-thirds of the hot dog and barbecue stands that dot the highways survive to a large degree off the traveling company's transportation is the heart of a nation's business. It is therefore easy to see that much of our boasted, but hardly apparent, prosperity can be traced directly to lodges, and the hot dog company dependent almost wholly upon them. Lodges help solve the unemployment situation also. Every subordinate lodge sends one, two, or three lodges to a customer, which lasts at least a week, which is entirely too long. While these delegates are away loafing, someone must be employed in their places back home. It is easy to see that the more lodges there must be employed who were out of work. This is all very gratifying to President Hoover, I am sure. Community Benefactors. Whenever a convention comes to town a lot of people who are too young to handle the ordinary circumstances, seize this opportunity to fleece visite strangers under the guise of performing a craft or a dance to them to give the house a good cleaning which it probably would not have gotten under any other circling. A year or so, so lodges are also help to the community at large. Yaps at a Circus. Except for these indirect contributions, conventions themselves have little to recommend them. Ninety per cent of those in these institutions completely ignore what is going on. The remaining ten per cent go into a huddle and manipulate the hokus pokus with high sounding rituals and rites that keep the herd bantozzoed so they won't know where they are going, nor ask too many questions. The guy with the most superlative title and his council are the tricksters who operate the shell game and the remaining hot poliol are merely the circus who are dazzled by the band, the tinel and pink lemonade. Requirements too Stiff. There are certain requirements necessary to become a good lodge brother, most of which I confess I do not possess. To be a member in the lodge, you must be a critic, and an egotist, and have a knack for believing what you know to be untrue. To be initiated you must promise to die early of the war of huskies who you would only be interested in burying, and the sooner the better. This calls for the rankest form of hypocrisy. To even hope to be as important one of the members of the lodge implies all its gifts equal to that of a Bourbon and one must possess a feeling of superiority that would credit to a reincarnated spirit of a feudal king. And never could understand how a soef would parade around half the night in the habitiments of a Persian ruler with a bunch of sawdust heads calling him a all wise sovereign and most omnipotent grand worthy right of something or other up the next morning and go to work as a janitor or garbage collector. The change from power to mendicancy is far too sudden for my family. I am not a kid yourself too much to be a bona fide lodge member in good standing. You also have to believe that the dues you pay in week after week are not enough to fund an undertaker when you need them most. This is another form of disillusionment hard to swallow when you know that the widow you pay in week already passed on, have 1 to content themselves with t. thought that the old man was given a grand funeral from an exhibition standpoint, and to finance the show themselves. Financial committees of lodges are supposed to prove that although the widow has been dead for 60 years, just prior to his death he missed a fifteen cent payment which makes him unfinancial but the lodge will show its respects by wearing a black tie and by doing the secret works at the grave. What becomes of the money the brother paid in during his lifetime is as dark a mystery to those on the inside as to those on the outside, and the former become of it and the former looking at one another suspiciously asking what, has already become of it? Lodges are very necessary. THE SAME TO YOU! To Kill Roaches Fill a pie p-n-r or similar container.

Farm and Garden How far will a bee travel for a 'load of honey nectar? The United States department of agriculture recently ascertained that the diligence of the bee is beyond question. They sometimes will fly as far as eight miles on a quest for flowers. Irrigated alfalfa in a Wyoming community was found to be virtually uninfected by the investigators placed hives of bees as far as eight miles from the alfalfa blooms, then found that the insects made daily wires and returned with them to the same circumstances, it is estimated, a single pound of honey would represent 8,000 trips of 16 miles each or 300,000 miles of flight by the bees. Some members of the colonies failed to return home from their lands, and headwinds deterred them. When laden with honey many were forced to alight and rest on the trip home. After reaching the hives they often failed to sight at the entrance of the hive.

Death of White Convict Revealed Untold Cruelties. BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—An idea of the hell that Negro prisoners in convict camps of Alabama are subjected to was brought out vividly in the probe of conditions following the murder of J. A. Marshall, white, in the "dog house," one of the inhumane forms of tortures practiced here. The "dog house" was invented as a substitute for the lash which was at one time ruled out by the governor. It consists of a small room that only air available is obtained through two one-inch larger holes. Its victims are not only physical well-defined for deficient hours after punishment, if the period is of considerable duration, Three hours is the limit in the "coffin." If & man survives that length of time, he is of such physical weakness as to withstand unnatural strain. A few minutes usually cause illness. The air virtually is shut out Effects of the Dog-House Victims of the dog-house, of which there are nine in Jefferson county alone, say that the exclusion of dogs suffering of the most excruciating sort. One's head feels as though it would burst. Lack of oxygen causes varying sensations in different individuals. The physical suffering combines with the average leaves the average victim a notable figure. Lash also Used The lash is still used extensively in the prisons. The reason why Alabama has lash laws is the fact that most of the candidates for the legislature who have favored abolition of the lash and dog-house, together with the lash system, usually have been defeated. Whipning is a sort of Alabama tradition. The schools employ the lash generally. Even the system of Birmingham allows the lash. The Whipping Leather All is fine in perspective, but the deputy wardens and guards and flankers do not exhibit the whipping leather. The lash is not solid, but two inches wide, heaviest cowhide, and ranging from six to 10 feet long. Twenty-one lashes is the maximum punishment under the regulations, but the rules do not prescribe how often a man may receive 21. And what lashes! The is to hit below the belt, with the prisoner wrecks on a blanket. He resists or complains or moves muscles unduly, two to four of the largest Negroes obtainable sit upon head and arms and back. The whiper takes full his job taking full time to make each stroke count. Whipped After Work The convict is whipped usually after the work-day ends, and is forced to don his shoes to clean his face, but he is usual—if he's able to be out of the hospital.

It is mainly around this issue that the convention will fight this year. It was in connection with this fight that friends of Dr. Townsend declare that E. D. Pierson had been sent to gather information damaging to the Sunday School Board secretary, and it was for the suppression of information in connection with a $62,000 loan that friends of Dr. Williams now declare caused someone to murder the auditor. Trial Awaited with Interest Although Dr. Townsend, his son, the Rev. J. F. Westbrook, of Indianapolis, and George Washington, alleged gangster, have been arrested and placed under bail in connection with the killing it is predicted freely in Tennessee that Dr. Townsend and his son will not be taken from that state for the opening hearing in the case. It is probable that testimony may develop which will compel Governor Horton of Tennessee to sign extradition papers for the pair, but, this being an election year, powerful friends of the secretary may prevent the case from being affirmed. In a second signed statement to the AFRO-AMERICAN, Dr. S.N. Vass accuses Dr. W. Williams of writing an editorial which appeared in which that paper expressed the hope that the perpetrator of the Pierson murder would be brought to justice. "It is my information declares the death of Dr. Williams own shares in that paper." Editor Davis Takes a Hand In an editorial in the Atlanta Independent, Editor Benjamin J. Davis rushes the effort of Dr. Townsend to "Come into court, doctor, and meet your accusers," says Editor Davis. "Don't run away and try to defeat justice. You are referred to as one of the weakest Negroes in America. If this is so, where did you get it from? No Negro preacher can honestly accumulate a fortune during a life time. Your wealth is a logical sequence against you. The amount you receive is $250,000.00 in 20 years for hardly $3,000.00 per annum? If the $60,000.00 involved has properly handled, for which it is alleged poor Pieris died, com> into court and make an accounting. Quit fighting a trial and come to Surrender and demand a trial instead to invade a trial and defeat justice. Gets Vote of Confidence At a recent meeting of the general Sunday School Board, of which Dr. Townsend is secretary, and comprises a member board of the Board of Trustees, the resolution was passed giving the official a vote of confidence. The resolution follows: Whereas, we have made careful investigation of the evidences and fact governments effecting the Christian character of Secretary A. M. Townsend, and having represented the public and accountable accounts to appear before this Board and state that they so find any shortage of funds or evidence of infallibility of the Board of Trustees, Dr. Townsend, or the Publishing Board. Special reference is hereby made to the $22,000 loan, which was paraded in the RESOLVED: That this Board composed of a representative from each state affixing in the National Baptist Convention now in session, Dr. A. M. Town, of confidence, and commend him to the unlimited confidence of our entire Baptist constituency. SIGNED: A. M. Measley, Missouri; H. Stamps, Mississippi; J. H. Evans, Georgia; W. T.

GOLD STAR MOTHERS Continued from Page One eral French officials The colored residents of Paris, American and French, turned out en masse to receive them and were given the place of honor over all the other spectators, while batteries of photographers snapped the assemblage, repeatedly. The most present were Bishop J. A. Gregg, Dr. S. S. Morris, general secretary of the Allen C.E. League of the AM.E. Church; Dr. Joseph Gomez, of Allen Chapel, Kansas City; Mo.; Mrs. W. E. Roberson, of Chicago, Ill.; Mrs. A. Clayton Powell, of Absynsis Baptist Church, New York; Mrs. E. Stuart of Baltimore; Miss Helen W. Thomas, of Chicago, and sister, Florida; Mrs. J. Washington, dean of women at Wilberforce University; Colonel Herbert Julian; Noble Sissie, T. E. Hanley, veteran of the American Hospital, and others. Delegates from the American Legion and white American colleges in Paris were present both at the reception at the railroad station and at the ceremony at the Arc de Trompe. Reception and Tea After the ceremony, the pilgrims were taken to the elegant Restaurant Laurent on the Champs Elysées to a reception and tea given in their honor. Colonel R. E. Ellis, of the U.S. Quartier-Master Corps, who is in charge of all the pilgrimages, made a speech when the Governor Walter E. Edge, who in the name of the United States, welcomed the visitors. He said that, as governor of New Jersey, during the war, he recalled the whole-hearted manner in which citizens of that state, regardless of creed, or race, had thrown themselves into the great cause and had done battle—a fact true of all the other states. "It is a great sacrifice you have made," he said, "the United States appreciates that sacrifice, and your being here is an attempt to show that appreciation." He armed them that nothing should be left undone to make their stay in France as agreeable as possible, and urged them after their stay to get some pleasure out of the trip. General Pershing Speaks General Pershing expressed his great happiness at being present. He told what the government of the United States had done in keeping up the cemeteries and in building chapels, and wished to try to get some pleasure and satisfaction out of the trip after they had mourned for their loved ones. "The past cannot be recalled," he said. "Messages of appreciation and read from General Gouraud; the Confederated French Veterans of Assace; the French Veterans of Marseilles and other organizations, followed by an address fromanon Tatty Cathedral, who said that he was born in Florida, passed some of his happiest moments among colored people, and served among them during the war. Many women of the Americas mourned were present, including Mrs Walter E. Edge. Mothers Talk All of the visiting mothers and wives expressed themselves as being pleased to the uttermost with the treatment that they were receiving. Some were treated well, while one l-treated on the ship that they regretted leaving it. Colonel B. O. Davis, interviewed, said that the party had had the entire ship, and that no one slept in the upper berths. The rooms with bath were given to the women of age," he said. "I saw the, America, on which an other party sailed, and there was no room on the American equal to those we had on the American Merchant.' He expressed himself as being besieged to the extent that he said if he had been turned over to himself to he used for the pilgrims, he could certainly have done nothing better than had been done by the present management. Colonel Davis is accompanied by the man, both of whom were present at the ceremony at the Arc. de Triomphe. Mothers Send Greetings Each pilgrim, when interviewed by this writer, wishes to give a special message to the folks back home as well. "I am enjoying myself more than I have ever done all my life, and I am t2," said Mrs. Polly Adalr, of Greenville, S.C. "Please say to his the papers for me. Bascomb Johnson, of Pittsburgh: "We are enjoying ourselves immensely. Uncle Sam is doing his best for his. Why. I had a private French maid all to my help on the ship. We could not care for us unless they presented us with a sack of gold." Urged Not to Go Taking this writer to a table, another nigritim said: "I am Mrs. W. D. Rush, of Atlanta, Ga. I replied to the Mayor's speech in New York on behalf of the Gold War, and I say to that I am very much pleased. "Every effort was made to get me not to come. I received several letters. I think it is a shame that some mothers were induced not to come by people who had nothing to lose, and those in our places, would certainly have come. "Nothing more could be done for us and I hope that every one who has refused will re-consider for another time." It was in this manner that cooks all the time, each saying that segregation or no segregation, she had done the right thing in making the trip. Some declared that while they opposed segregation, the white man had the upper hand, and that accepting the trip did not prevent their fighting segregation when they re- And the question of the segregated trip to France apart, it must be admitted, that those in charge end did all that that he hoped to make it friendly for the mothers. "It is a question of the honor of the United States Army," said Colonel J. M. Conway, the conductor of the party was Captain M. J. Conway, white, assisted by four courtesans and similee lieutenants, the lieutenant of New York, who was in charge of arrangements, said that the U.S. government was spending $6,553,200 to get all the Gold Star Mothers to France; that there were 100,000 that he hoped to welcome each one in France. Cheatham Started Jim-Crow Major-General B. Cheatham, quarter-master general of the U.S. Army, retired, originator of the married mothers on a separate ship, said to this writer: "It was I who, when the subject came up, suggested sending them on a separate ship. The married people. I also know the colored people, and love them. I knew that those colored women were liable to meet with insults on a trip that the whole trip was going to be spilled for some of them. "I had no thought of segregation. Now I see that I am not going smoothly. When those women return, each one is going to spread the news. "I make this assertion and will back it up, like one, colored or white, will refuse to make the trip next year." Several other white officials backed up the segregation and backed up the prejudices met by people of his faith, and of the difficulties he had had at West Point because of this; another told how some of the women in the trip, and how much had been spoiled for these wom- 17 Lightning Injures Two; One Fatally FAULKNER, Md. — Mrs. Cecilia Short of Fauknik. Md. was fatally injured and her niece, Miss Madeline A. Gosnell of Baltimore, who was slightly burned when lightning struck her home last Tuesday evening. The family including Mrs. Short husband Heber Short, who was burned on the porches when the bolt struck the house, passing through to the porch, striking first the niece then the aunt, setting them afire and staining the other porches. Gosnell walked over a half mile to get assistance. She was taken to Freedmen's Hospital, Washington, by Harlan Swann, where she is recovering from her injuries. The husband put out his wife's flames, after when he summoned all to carry his wife to the Emergency Hospital in Washington, when she was taken to Friday morning. A certificate of accidental death was issued by Coroner J. Ramsey Newtiv. An unusual feature of the incident was that there was apparently no storm in the offing when the bolt struck. en by that; still another said that theoretically, he was strongly opposed to segregation, but that race prejudice was a reality, and had to be overcome. Americans Hold Various Opinions Several of the Negro Americans in Paris who were questioned showed a wide diversity of opinion. Some were angry, while others were equally strong in its favor. One well-known musician, who expressed himself in language that could not be printed, referred to an article appearing in Le Monde of Paris last year, in which were published copies of alleged propaganda issued against the French by U.S. Army officials, he said: "After that and the jim-crowning of these mothers, I suppose they will be waiting in Paris to be sent to Paris in Paris these colored women are stopping at a hotel at which are all white people—people from all over Europe, and there is no doubt that they would ever have thought of putting these colored mothers aside as if they were so many dirty rags. But America has to do it." He entertained, popular in Europe, said: "Why, it is the best thing that could have happened. Had those women come ahead and have been lost in the crowd. One would have taken any special notice of them. Now they have received the greatest reception of all. No band went to meet the white mothers. Everybody is noticing them now, including newspapers. It was a great thing to those mothers to have the colored, people in France go to visit. Still another said that he thought the whole thing, pro and con, a matter of politics.

All of the major and junior officers of the corporation gathered in the mailing room to witness the despatch of 1739 dividend checks to stockholders of the company. The checks weighed six and one-half pounds, not counting the envelopes. An Unbroken Record "This payment is the company's thirty-first annual dividend. It has not missed one during its thirty-one years of existence. It is the boast of its officers that "its unbroken dividend record challenges comparison with any other Negro fiduciary institution in the United States." Recently R. H. Rutherford, president-treasurer, called attention to the need of trained men and women in all of our financial institutions. In notice of the dividend check issued, President Rutherford gives evidence of the fact that the National Benefit practices what it preaches. "In the last two months," he states, "National Benefit has given employment to more than two score graduates and students of outstanding institutions of learning." He has sought to emphasize the fact that Negro institutions alone, when properly reported, are the ones who need to be able to employ young men and women of the race grazing from our colleges and universities.

In incensing conditions in plants because Miss Katherine Hoven, white member of the Local Union No. 4, staff, had the conditions in Baltimore to耕. on the part of employers and ignorance on the part of employees labored in the parted rooms of workers labored during bitterly cold winter days, crouched around a half-heated radiator, holding their hands over electric hubs and wrapping their feet in rags to keep warm, Partiality to "informers," who cowed the other workers and were given the most of the work, and a poor salary scale add to the misery of the workers, she said, all because employers are filled with greed and envy. The right to gain the right to the every human being who is willing to work for a decent living. Colored Workers Stick Though the recently imported worker, Charles E. Grain, has pointed out to colored workers that they are given a lower salary scale than white workers, and that at all times in which eventually all workers will be left out in the cold, the folk at this shop seem to be rather of the opinion that they had better make hay while this particular shines, and that they can do many of the duties, they get rather the little end of the proposition, they will fir: a log to carry them across the stream when they reach it. They tell you also that the therefore unions have never very tried to get any can say no, either, when they point out such examples as the unions of barbers, bricklayers, etc., and even ask, what has become of the union for hod-carriers that everyone was all excited about The lone worker, Miss Rose Smith, who walked out of the shop and added her mite to the union, when he asked what it was all about. However, she thought that anybody who would pay her half salary during strikes (and from looks of thumbprints) would guarantee her a job when there was no strike, was a pretty good "insurance" to join. But she admitted that her fellow workers did not faith in the being of the adventurous type, who will "try anything once," she thought she would look them over. The local union and its ported organizer prescience with Negroes of this city, who are not so particular about the same bee stinging them twice. So Mr. Brown organizer has a six-inch his hands if he converts the three hundred colored garment makers. So far, only one has "got religion," and we are rather stunned that Grain will do what we speak of. Job Insurance Should Interest What is or should be of great concern to Negroes, who, more than any other group would be limited by the law, is the group Rosevelt of New York. in his speech at the conference of governors held in Denver. The government should operate some form of unemployment insurance or dole, through which workers thrown out of work during periods of unemployment are relieved. The Negro should certainly keep an eye on the very edge of the border in a hard hand supporting any political move to foster it, as he, more than any other, is affected by the crisis. When jobs are scarce the colored worker is usually in the same position as a candle being burned, beaded ends of the cutting beams, and the last to be employed when jobs open. The New York executive's idea is insurance as a civic policy will surely benefit from thinking workers of all classes. Farmers in Conference GREENBORO, N.C. (CN5)—J. T. Lighter, of Mecklenburg County, has been elected president of the North Carolina Negro Farmers Association, named secretary and treasurer, and J. W. Jeffries as his assistant. Both are connected with the college faculty of A. and T. College here. The 19th meeting, was attended by the farmers from all over the state and was addressed by state and federal experts on agriculture. The 1931 meeting will be held here on August 6 and 7. Building and Loan Association on the 7th of July held its regular stockholders meeting here. The meeting was featured by the delivery of a malin stock as result of a seven per cent dividend declared by the board of directors. The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, August 9, 1930 CHICAGO—(ANP)—The monthly report of the nation's business issue! by the National City Bank of New York, indicates that we generally do not sell unsatisfactory. The optimism of a month ago seems not to have been justified by the trend of events. Market indices show a continued decline in surplus stock prices. This fact appears to relieve manufacturers of their inventories and surplus stocks and will eventually call for renewed production at a lower price. Surplus stocks is seen also by the fact that department stores are selling more commodities this year than they did in 1929 although the year has seen lower retail prices, are of course, generally lower. Steel production continues to decline. The production of automobiles is considerably better last year than this industry is noticeable from month to month. Agriculture is in a somewhat favorable situation than last year due to very favorable crop prospects. Low prices, however, the general outlook is not optimistic. In view of these very general depressing influences it is apparent that decolored laborers throughout the country will do well with the jobs they earn on the job as further unemployment may be looked for. Strict economy of present incomes is also essential in order to have surplus funds to decline in employment. The general business of rigid economy and thrift are consequently, in order for the average wage earner. Potato King's Farm Goes Under Block Potato King's Farm Goes Under Block KANSAS CITY. Kan. — (ANP) — The famous Groves potato farm in the rich Kansas Valley. Country near Edwardville, Kansas. Since 1900, the Wyandotte County Courthouse steps here Tuesday, morning and was bought by the Knights of Pythias of Missouri for the sum of $61,000 which was more than fourteen charitable held the Pythians. There were no other bidders. Under the Kansas law, the Pythians cannot be owned and during that, time the Groves family has the right to buy back the property if it can secure the necessary funds. The Pythians were forced to take the property they said, because nothing has been paid on the principal of the $90,000 loan made to the Groves family by the order, no interest has been paid on the taxes are demolished for two years. Weather Blamed In a statement made three months ago, members of the Groves family blamed the weather conditions and the state of the potato market for their failure to care for the crop. The farm is being operated by seven years' daughter of the late Junius G. Groves, who died in 1925. The elder Groves came to Kansas before the beginning of the century and founded his potato empire with 400 acres for forty cents.

(CNS)—Some 300 longshoremen employed in loading and unloading cargoes of river steamed salmon on July 28.

Fear Felt Year Ago Fear was felt for the Binga Bank more than a year ago when some of the directors of the institution complained about some of the policies pursued which they felt would ultimately embarrass the institution. At that time, some of these directors resigned. Others were selected in their places. These directors who resigned complained that Jesse Binga, the president of the founder, was a personal assistant to the bank. They made the charge that he sought to make a one-man institution out of it and that in the promotion of his policies, he was domineering and arrogant. Binga not Rich Man Contrary to public belief, they said, Binga was not a rich man, and did not control a majority of stock of the bank. He did, however, have some of the directors obligated to him, and when he wanted to have his way, was always successful in whipping these men into line, or keeping them quiet. Regarding his personal wealth, it is said that he has an uncertain equity in real estate valued at between three and four hundred thousand dollars, but it is doubted that he could assemble fifty thousand dollars in cash, in any way. Binga in Complete Control Last January, the bank examiners investigated the institution and found that it was carrying paper which was not easily negotiable. They expressed dissatisfaction, and upon going further, discovered that Binga was in-practically complete control of the loans of the bank. The loan committee, authorized by law and required by law to pass upon loans, is said to have been ignored by Binga. Thereupon, the state required the appointment a loan committee which would funnel borrowing to law. The committee appointed by the board of directors consisted of: Thomas R. Webb, former commissioner of the National Association, once close to Binga, but finally compelled to break away from him, as chairman; Colm, Spencer C. Dickerson, vice chairman; Vickers, vice president; the Rev. C. H. Clark, and Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams. Biniga Loaned Self $267,612 This committee investigated and is reported to have discovered the existence of $267,612 worth of loans to Binga himself or ventures in which he was interested. Many of them were the dummy variety, made ostensibly to employees or others at the behest of Binga, without security. It is said that whenever a question was asked regarding regard to the secured "dummy" loans, Mr. Binga would affect dismay that anyone should question a loan which he recommended. One of these loans, supposed to have been made to an employee but which really is said to be Mr. Binga, amounted to $11,000. No interest is said to have been paid by Mr. Binga on this alleged sum of $267,612. The discovery by the loan committee brought in the examiners again, and in July, they are said to have reported that the amount was $79,000, rather than the smaller figure. May, it is said, the examiners have demanded that this paper in the bank be cleared up. Sought Aid A definite movement was inquired within the bank to remove Mr. Binga as president. At the same time, he busied himself seeking aid. He is reported to have visited other Negro institutions, but always seemed to support with the proviso that he be regarded as the president of the bank. Anthony Overton, president of the Douglass Bank, whom Binga visited three times, offered aid, but not in a manner to Mr. Binga's liking. Upon him, he visited and sought help from Samuel Insul, the utility mag- Insull Offered $200,000 Insull agreed to come to the rescue of the institution on the terms proposed by Binga who had claimed that $200,000 would put the bank on its feet. A check for that amount was sent to the bank by Insull, but the representatives from the state auditor's office ignored it and demanded that $430,000 be put up. The time given is said to have been two hours. Various directors offered large sums, but not sufficient to make up the additional $230,000 required. Therefore, the bank was closed. May Re-open It is not believed here that the institution will remain shut up. It is felt that the sum demanded by the state could have been obliterated by the proper timing of the grant. A vigorous movement is now on foot to re-open as soon as the state audit is completed, if nothing further is found wrong. Binga to Go It can be stated authoritatively that Mr. Binga will be forced out of the bank's activities. It may also be predicted that Mr. Binga may be under a black and white control, similar to that of the Dunbar National Bank of Harlem. The Binga State Bank was begun in 1908 by Jesse Binga as a private institution and was named the state institution with Mr. Binga as president in 1920. The bank has a capital of $200,000 a surplus of $200,000,000. Widowships, due to unemployment and so forth, had grown so heavily recently, that they were greater than the daily deposits. In year 1920 the U.S. Treasury department granted Binga a charter to do business as a national bank. Associated with him in the national bank enterprise, which was not separate separate from the institution, was G. Dalley, Charles S. Jackson, the Rev. Harold M. Kingsley, Dr. Carl G. Roberts, and T. C. Windham, named the Douglass National Bank, is operated at 4636 S. Parkway, while the state bank is located at 35th and State. Fears for National Bank Immediate fear was felt for the Douglass National Bank, but its officers reported Friday that withdrawals that morning had not been alarming. They closed business Thursday afternoon with $107,000 cash. In the morning, $200,000 in currency was obtained from the federal reserve bank to meet any emergency. Speaking of the circumstances under which the bank was closed, C. C. Spaulding, president of the Mechanics and Farmers Bank of Durham, N.C., declared: “We happen to know that most Negro banks began business without experienced bankers and, as a result, acquired a large number of loans without liquid securities. Some of these securities have been nurtured an carried for years with the hope of working them out, but the financial depression has made it almost impossible for them to do so.” “Negro bankers should be looked upon with a degree of sympathy rather than censure, especially where no fraud has been practiced among Hopkins, Laura V., 72, 1137 N.

Died Before He Could Give Description of Assailants. MOUNT VERNON, Ga. (CNS) — Another brutal atrocity which shocked this state, was brought to light last week when S. S. Mincey, 76-year-old Negro Republican leader of Alley, was found in a semi-convent in the Bronx. He was kidnapped and beaten by a band of masked and robbed white men. Mincey told officers that one of the demands made by the attackers was that he give up his post as county Republican chairman. Before he died he told of being struck over the head with a rifle before being taken forcibly from his home. Physicians said that the blow resulted in concussion, brain and caused his death. He was not able to name his assaults. Seek Motive Solicitor-General M. H. Boyer was with him several hours before he died, but was able to obtain only meager information. Officers said he was being held has been aroused by the case. Besides being active in Republican politics, as county chairman and formerly a delegate to a number of national conventions, Mincey recently added grand secretary of the Georgia Masons. No motive has been established for the attack. Officers said that they knew of no activity on Mincey's prairie and that he might have caused it. They said that they had learned that there were ten or more persons in the band; and that his grandson was knocked down and his wife threatened to be attempted to prevent the kidnapping. There was no definite verification of a report that Mincey recently had agreed to a demand that he resign his position as Republican county clerk. Several kidnapping and lashing cases have come to the attention of officials here in the last few days.

THE CHESAPEAKE AND POTOMAC TELEPHONE COMPANY OF BALTIMORE CITY 20 TWO FACTIONS LINE UP FOR BAPTIST FIGHT Pierson Murder Certain to be Echo at Chicago Meeting. DR. VASS TALKS S.S. Board Votes Confidence in Townsend. CHICAGO.—That the internal fight raging in the National Baptist Convention, incorporated, which caused the gang murdering of E. D. Pierson. auditor for that body, has now reached clearly defined lines which develop more and more as leaders mass their forces for the meeting in Chicago a week hence. When the fight reaches the floor of the body, it will find two organized groups, one headed by the R. L. L. K. Williams, president of the body, with Dr. E. W. D. Isaacs, his chief lieutenant, and the other led by Dr. A. M. Townsend, accused as a conspirator in the killing of Pierson April 18 and Dr. S. N. Vass, veteran National Baptist Convention worker, as his chief aide. Williams Policies Analysis of the fight also shows that the entire fight with its resultant Pierson tragedy, has hinged around the so-called Williams concentration policies. Under plans inaugurated some years ago, the control of all National Convention boards were to be centralized so that the loosely working units would become responsible to the executive board of the convention with headquarters in Chicago. Plan Met Snag The centralization of all National Baptist Convention units met its first snag in 1928 when it endeavored to take over the control of the National Training School conduct, by Miss Nannie Burroughs in Washington. In this fight Miss Burroughs won out, her Training School board retained direct authority. During that controversy, Dr. William, is quoted as saying: "Baptists run everything in the way we want to run it, and we do not let it run unless it runs like we want it to run" But Miss Burroughs opposed the proposed change whereby the National Baptist Board would control the school through a board of trustees selected by it. Sunday School Board an Issue Efforts to bring the Sunday School Board under more centralized control started several years ago, is said to have brought a breach between Dr. Williams and many leaders in the Continued on Page 17.

The Rev. Mr. DeBerry declares his social work has grown so that it is impossible for him to devote himself to it and also to passive the job, which was made necessary, because the Springfield Community Church has adopted the policy of refusing aid to church organizations engaged in Social work.

BISHOP SPEAKS Conference Must Pay Own Debts First. CHICAGO, IL.—Declaring that the $16,000 collected for educational purposes had been mishandled and that Wilberforce University had received only $1,000 of the funds due in the institution, the Common Sense Committee called Bishop A. J. Carey of the Fourth Episcopal District into question, at a meeting held at the Wendell Phillips High School here, Sunday. The committee, which was recently organized for the purpose of investi- gating alleged mishandling by the bishop of monies collected for general claims, missions, education, etc., is headed by Mrs. Nana Jackson. The mass meeting of all of the AME churches of the giving mishandling by the bishop of monies collected for general claims, missions, education, etc., is head- ed-by Mrs. Nana Jackson. The mass meeting of all of the A.M.E churches of the city was addressed by Gilbert H Jones, president of Wilberforce Uni- versity, at the Sunday meeting. Bishop Speaks Following the speech by President Jones, Bishop Carey is said to have acknowledged that he had held back the educational money instead of sending it to Wilburforce, because needed, because in the Fourth District. "We are going to pay off the debts of the Fourth Episcopal District before sending any money to Wilborforce University. Just now we have sent all we can spare," the bishop is quoted as saying. Bishop Carey is further said to have stated that $5,000 of the money had been used in the purchase of Carey Temple, a church named for him, in this Dr. Brown Resigns Because of the alleged mishandling of monies by the bishop, Dr. Joshua Brown, prominent layman, several weeks ago refused to pay any further dues in the Quinn Chapel A.M.E. Church, of which he was a steward, and as a result his resignation from the board was accepted. The Quinn Chapel congregation is one of the most militant factors in the present investigation and the present fight is thought to have come out of its opposition to the bishop, and the prelate's alleged threat to "bring Quinn Chapel to her knees." Urge Boycott A financial boycott is being urged by the Common Sense Committee, in which it is proposed to withhold all monies from the general church and ask members to contribute only to the immediate expenses of church buildings. The committee's recommendation is that the following withdrawals be made: The salaries of all ministers known to be in sympathy with Bishop Carey; all monies used to pay presiding elders: "One of them," declares a statement issued by the committee, "is personally responsible for the fact that church investigation has been made of the conduct of Bishop Carey as Civil Service Commissioner, and that no charges have been brought against him for reported misappropriations of church funds. The other presiding elders appear to be in sympathy with his actions."

Carey of the Fourth Episcopal District of the AME Church, instigated through the pastor, an official-board meeting, in which he should be demanded to continue to pay church dues, thouh the monies thus collected were failing to reach the proper steward in the Joshua Chapel Church, issued an open message explaining his resignation from that church, last week. Dr. Brown said that he would not pay such dues in face of the fact that monies collected -for general claims, education, missions, etc. were being mishandled by the bishop. He would come to the investigation that the bishop should either mend his waws or be fired." Continuing he said: "I resigned from the steward board of Quinn because I could see that the drastic, undemocratic, unpleasant demand of the bishop was a hoo affront to divest every officer of Quinn Chapel of any semblance of manhood and womanhood in his brazen attempt to carry out his alleged threat of long standing, to "Bring Quinn Chapel to Her office," and to maintain a worldly sinner, and to maintain my Christian dignity. I resigned."
