Miss Kathryn McCracken Named Defendant in New Haven Suit.
ACCIDENT FIGURES
Death of Mrs. Mercer Cook, Made Issue. (Special to the AFRO-AMERICAN)
NEW HAVEN, Ct.—The entire social elect of the city are agog and speculating on the outcome of a probable suit to be pressed by Edw. H. Goin. Yale graduate of class 24, and master of arts from Columbia University, against Miss Kathryn McCracken, former Morgan College instructor and late associate director of the Dixwell Community House, New Haven. The suit, which charges libel, states that Miss McCracken was the author of a letter to President John O. Spencer of Morgan College, which was instrumental in causing cessation of negotiations between the college and the plaintiff, who was favorably considered as a member of the college faculty.
Bared Alleged Scandal
According to young Goin, who is the son of one of New Haven's leading pastors, Miss McCracken informed Dr. Spencer of the accident in which Mrs. Bernice Wilson Cook, wife of Mercer Cook, Howard versity instructor, met her death while Goin was at the wheel of the car.
The accident occurred when Mrs. Cook, with a party of friends, sustained a broken neck when the car overturned en route to Greensboro, N.C. They were returning from Lynchburg, Va. where they were attending the funeral of Wynn Humbles, a school teacher.
At the time, the name of the occupants of the car were withheld and the present case brings to light par- continued on Page Nineteen, Col. 3.

A Southern newspaper man wrote THE AFRO Monday, "I just started out to tell you I have grown to consider The Afro the best paper in America." The same that in different words was expressed by a Philadelphia pastor, a Baltimore lawyer and a New York writer in letters to THE AFRO Editor. There is a reason for these letters. They did not just harp accidentally.

Lily Whites Cite Burn as Anti-Negro.
(Special to the AFRO-AMERICAN) MEMPHIS, Tenn. — With R. R. (Bob) Church, political leader, as an issue, more votes were polled in the Republican primary here Thursday, than ever before.
G. Arthur Bruce, white, Memphis lumberman, won the Republican nomination for Governor over Harry T. Burn, white, of weetwater, Tenn. The racial issue was injected into the campaign by both Burn on the Republican side and E. G. Memphis lumberman was trying to defeat Governor Henry Horton for the Democratic nomination. Both were badly beaten, Gwinn lost by about eight thousand, and Burn lost by about eight thousand.
As usual, R. R. Church, Memphis realtor, was the issue. Gwinn's speeches were vicious. He said, among other things:
"If one Negro votes for me in the Democratic primary for Governor, I would not have the nomination. I am for white supremacy. The Democratic party is the white man's party and will always be so. Democrats do not want Negroes in it."
In Gwinn's radio speeches his principal subject was Bob Church's influence in state politics. Gwinn was backed in his tirade by the Nashville Banner, the Chattanooga News and the Scrips Howard dailies at Knoxville and Memphis.
Early in this month the Chattanooga News preached a cartoon in which Church was in bed surrounded by J. Will Taylor, Ed Crump, Governor Horton and ex-Senator Luke Lea, under the heading of "Strange Bedwells." Over the bed hung the sign, "God bless our home."
Burn's cry was that Bruce was the candidate of Bob Church and J. Will Taylor.
Whole Church Ticket Nominated Gwinn tried to make it appear that J. Will Taylor and Church were supporting Gov. Horton, when as a matter of fact they both were supporting Bruce, and Gwinn's friends knew

Document Exposes Instructions to Slavery Commission There.
FAULKNER HERE
Liberian Leader to See Business Men.
Secret documents which the State Department in Washington has already termed forgeries, were printed as a State document by the Republic of Liberia, according to T. J. R. Faulkner, Liberian leader, who arrived in Baltimore on Tuesday.
Mr. Faulkner, opposition leader, former candidate for the presidency, and the man responsible for the investigation of forced labor conditions in Liberia by the United States and the League of Nations, called at the State Department on Thursday and next week will be in Detroit to attend the session of the National Negro Business League. It is his desire to secure co-operation of American business men to investigate business and commercial conditions in Liberia by a commis-
Bank Needed
The co-operation is also desired, Mr. Faulkner said, to establish a bank in Monrovia, since the British Bank of Liberia, the only financial institution now there, closes the doors of its agency on the 30th of October, and the bank is Monrovia beamed on the 31st of October. Asked whether the slavery-probe commission had completed its work, Mr. Faulkner said that according to the terms of reference, four months were to be given to investigations in Liberia and one month for the commission to work. It said it was his understanding that the four months had been completed last Saturday, and that the commission has already spent considerable time in working on its report.
Two Secret Documents
The secret documents include an alleged report of the American charge d' affaires, Henry Carter, white, to the U.S. Secretary of State on matters coming within the purview of the commission of inquiry dated May 18, 1930. This document was published several weeks ago in the AFRO-AMERICAN JOURNAL. The other allied forged document included allegations issued to Dr. C. S. Johnson, American commission on the Liberian international commission of inquiry. Queried by the Liberian government, the U.S. Secretary of State replied under date of June 27 that both documents were forgeries and asked that the government of Liberia take

MARION, Ind.—Failure of Grant County juries to impose the death penalty is given as the reason for the double lynching Thursday night, the eighteenth and nineteenth lynchings of 1930.
Twenty-five whites met in a local billiard parlor and organized before raiding the Marion Machine Foundry where they secured sledge hammers and crowbars from the night watchman.
These tools were afterwards returned. The two dozen men discussed the murder of Claude Deeter, 23 white and alleged assault upon Mary Ball, 18, also white, while the couple were parked late at night in an auto on a lonely road.
66 Accused Freed
Moh leaders recalled that sixty-six persons accused of crime were freed for lack of evidence and passions were raised to fever heat a few minutes later when someone suggested "we may as well lynch those guys; the courts will never give them what they deserve."

Local Woman Wants Doctor or Hospital to Buy Her Corpse.
SISTER SLAIN
Money Needed to Apprehend Killer.
Declaring that she will sell her body for medical experiment for $5,000 which she will use to track down the murderer of her sister and nephew, Mrs. J. DeSayles, 640 Vine Street, asked the AFRO-AMERICAN to help her find a doctor or hospital official who will accept her offer, this week.
In her letter Mrs. DesYales says she is deformed and is not now in good health. She is the mother of two boys, nine and ten years of age.
"I want this money," she says, "to offer as a reward for the capture of David Dungan, alias "Dusty Bottom," who on June 9, brutally killed my sister, Mrs. Francis Valentine King."
The killing of Mrs. King horrified the little village near Pikesville, where Mrs. King lived with her two children, when Dungan, whose advances had been spurned by the dead woman, flew into a jealous rage and, after slashing her throat, beat her to death with an ax, crushed the skull of her boy and criminally attacked a 13-year-old daughter. Before he left the bloody scene, Mrs. King had a team of helpers also to kill the four-year-old son of Mrs. King, but the iron which he hurled at the child missed its target. He made his escape and has not been seen since.

body after she dies is a desperate move, she realizes, but she declares
that she is not sure that her sisters slayer was brought to justice.

Negro-Chinese Parents Sue Hospital for Naming their Baby
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (NAP)
The naming of a newly born baby by hospital attendants has caused a stir in legal circles here.
Mr. Annie Suey, wife of a Chinaman, Ang Suey, gave birth to a baby boy on October 17, 1928. The hospital officials claimed that she was not lawfully married to Suey and they therefore named the infant, "Barnard Beakton McKant," and this name was placed on the birth certificate. Mr. and Mrs. Suey, however, their offspring was "Ang Suey, Jr." and when they discovered the error in the birth certificate of the hospital itself was sought.
Mrs. Suey has denied that she said she was not the lawful wife of the Chinaman and every technicality of the law is unknown, and the couple to have the name changed by the court.

HOOVER SCORED BY NATION'S LAWYERS
National Bar Association Votes Down Many Resolutions. SESSIONS LATE
Coatless Attorneys De-
(Washington Bureau of the AFRO) WASHINGTON. — The fair and impartial administration of justice was urged, and the attitude of the Hoover administration was scored for its indifference by the sixth annual assembly of the National Bar Association which ended its volcanic two-day session Friday at the Howard University Law School with clamorous election of officers.
To Fight Segregation
The association committed itself to the definite duty of combating segregation and the infringement of the rights of the group. The indifference of the Hoover administration in not appointing Negroes to responsible positions brought forth a protest in the meeting. The race was urged to support only candidates who are pledged to the enforcement of the Constitution and all laws.
An appeal was made to public officials in every state where mobs, conspiracies, and disaffected citizens exist, to enforce the laws on the state, to fight against these matters, and to continue efforts are to be made to uphold the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments, and other laws, "until all badges of inferiority as a race shall disappear."
Cabinet Members Speak.
The outstanding features of the assembly were the addresses delivered by two cabinet members, James J. Davis, Secretary of Labor, and Walter Brown, Postmaster General. Karl F. Phillips, conciliator of labor, discussed the "Legal Aspects of the Negro Labor Problem." Judge James A. Cobb of the Washington municipal court spoke on "Race Distinctions in American Law." He also discussed the repeal of the 18th Amendment. Francis Ellis Rivers, New York assemblyman, advised interest in legislation to be used as a shield by the race. Euclid Taylor, assistant State's attorney, of Chicago, discussed the relation of the Chicago Negro to crime.
Three Speakers Absent
Four persons who were on the program did not appear. They were: Congressman Oscar DePriest, who was out of the city; Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, of Howard University; Jonas Jones, of Pennsylvania; his address, and Robert S. Abbott, of Chicago.
Thermometer 103 Degrees.
The business session Friday, which ended the meeting, lasted well into the evening. The thermometer heated disputes of coattless barristers while the thermometer hovered around 103 degrees. Various legisl-
Nobody Born on August 7th or 10th
WASHINGTON, D.C.-Records at the Health Department show that there were no colored children born in the District of Columbia on August 7 and 10th.
tive resolutions were tabled until the next annual session on floor discussions diverted upon tensions not addressed in question.
A resume of the business transacted is as follows:
The report of the secretary stated that there are 221 members, 14 being added since the last annual meeting; arrival Piper, treasurer, reported $257,200 receipts; disbursements of $100.
Fight Marriage Bill.
The committee on Legislation, Mrs. G. J. Ellis, chairman, urged a fight against Senate Bill 2110, the measure produced in Kansas, the measure requires both parties to a marriage to state their nationality under oath. It was stressed that the proper protection and that illegitimate children would be increased. It was also recommended that a fight against the agreement of the rights of citizens to vote.
A resolution endorsing Judge James A. Cobb for appointment to the Supreme Court bench of the District, was offered by Perry M. Howard, a vacancy Mr. Howard stated that he was informed that President Hoover would appoint Judge Isaac R. Hitt, local white judge to the bench in the fall. The resolution stated that his presence was not prompted by a wish for fathers. The resolution was tabbed.
No Fraternal Endorsement.
A resolution offered by R. McGants Andrews, of North Carolina, which proposed the endorsement of fraternal organizations was tabled. It was held that the association was sympathetic with all Negro business, and wish to advertise a particular class. The late Judge Robert H. Terrell will be honored this year on National Bar Day, which will be an annual feature. Billups-Pope Not Endorsed. The association refused to endorse the candidacy for judges in New York of Pope Billups and Francis Rivers. It was emphasized that the association would not present at the meeting, are potential members of the association.
No Law Commission.
A motion by Charles H. Houston that the President be asked to appoint a committee to study law enforcement among the Negroes was voted down. Judge Cobb stated that it would definitely place the Negro in the criminal class. That the President be requested to eliminate photographs from the civil service requirements was advised by McLaurin, but the matter was tabbed. A recommendation that a prize of $30 be given to an outstanding law student was laid aside after heated debate. All argued that the amount was too small. Another argument, the payment of $15 monthly to a secretary will not permit the prize this year.
Pilgrimage to Terrell Grave.
A pilgrimage was made Thursday afternoon to the tomb of the late Judge Robert H. Terrell, and to the grave of the unknown obolist. Judge Robert H. Terrell, E. W. D. Jones, Judge J. A. Cobb, Emory B. Smith, and C. H. Houston. The evening session was held at the Lincoln Congregational Church, R. W. Brocks, pastor, Perry W. Howard acted as master of ceremonies.

Traveling, swimming, boating, riding—all are joys of the vacation time of year. Maybe the fish bite, maybe they don't. The thrill is there, nevertheless.
So, too, is the danger present. Every year, thousands leave home for vacation, never to return to those they love. Not an argument to give up the vacation, of course, but a strong one for providing safe and sure protection before leaving, for those left behind, through life insurance.

ESTATE SHRINKS
Coolidge, Smith, Rosen-
(Special to the AFRO-AMERICAN) NEW YORK. — Howard University and Provident Hospital, Chicago, are believed among the fifteen preferred institutions to receive checks totalling $4,800,000, to be sent this week. Howard is to get $200,000 for its medical schol program, and Provident Hospital, Chicago, which recently conducted a $2,000,000 campaign for plant and equipment will receive $300,000. The gifts come from the estate of Conrad Hubert, white, once a poor Russian emigrant and then successively a cigar storekeeper, restaurateur, boarding house keeper, farmer, milkman, watchmaker, and finally aaker of the pocket flashlight and millionaire head of the Eveready Post Company.
Mr. Hubert died in February, 1928, in France, and specified the three prominent citizens, a Protestant, Catholic and Jew, should be selected as his executors to dispose of his estate as they saw fit. Ex-President George ex-Governor Alfred H. Smith and Julius Rosenwald were named.
Same 1600 agencies and institutions applied for grants.
Executives also have to face the fact that the Hubert millions shrank $3,000,000 through payments to relatives and declining Florida land values.
Estate $8,000,000
The estate is estimated today at about $8,000,000. Nineteen institutions on the list will probably have to wait indefinitely for their share of the money, depending upon what can be extracted from the Florida real estate.
$875,000 to Jews
Of the millions distributed, $1,000,000 will go to hospitals and welfare institutions in New York, $1,000,000 to the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts, $100,000 to colored people, $500,000 to colleges, and $875,000 to Jewish institutions.
Hear Highland Beach Road Protest
HIGHLAND BEACH. Md.-Protects against the opening of a country road from the county highway through Venice Beach by way of Chesapeake Avenue to the waters of Chesapeake Bay were heard last Monday afternoon by a special committee appointed by the commissioners of Anne Arundel County. Residents of Venice Beach were joined by residents of Bay Ridge Beach in an impressive residential District of Bay Ridge and Arundel-on-the-Bay, neighboring white summer colonies, lent their support to the colored colonies in opposing the proposed county road.

McHilinger, the attorney. Several of the property owners at Bay Ridge and Arundel-on-the-Bay also spoke.
Protests against the opening of the road as a county project were based mainly on the grounds that there is no public necessity for it and that it would cause an inflict of undesirable harm. Sanitary conditions now existing in the two adjoining communities, it was stated, already offer a problem to the residents and if the proposed road should be opened, with the added benefit of visitors conditions would also cause that an epidemic would likely occur.

KANSAS NEGROES VOTED AGAINST SENATOR ALLEN
Failure to Center on One Opponent is Cited as Reason for Loss.
"UNCLE" DAVID
Allen Appointee in D.C. Excoriated.
NEW YORK. — Out of thirty-seven purely Negro precincts in Kansas City, Kansas, which has the largest Negro voting population in the State, Senator Henry J. Allen received, according to telegraphic report to the N.A.A.C.P. from Roy Wilkins, only 1,322 votes. His principal opponent received 3,579 votes, a percentage for Allen of barely 27.
Normally, the returns would have been reversed. According to Mr. Wilkins, who is the managing editor of the Kansas City (Mo.) Call, which played a large part with the N.A.A.C.P. in stirring sentiment towards the rebuke of Senate' Allen, an overwhelming Negro vote was cast against Allen throughout the state. In this manner the intelligent, unpurchasable Negroes of Kansas registered in unmistakable fashion their disapproval of Senator Allen's support of Judge Parker's nomination as associate justice of the United States Supreme Court. Although Senator Allen was remininated, it is felt, especially at Washington, that the action of the Negro "oters of Kansas in rebuking Allen, marks one of the most significant steps ever taken by the Negro towards political emancipation.
The N.A.A.C.P. sent its field secretary, William Pickens, to Kansas. The N.A.A.C.P. met with the meetings in Kansas City, Wichita, Topeka, Parsons and Atchison.
Henderson Talks
"Uncle" David E. Henders n. for whom Allen secured an appointment in the Attorney-Genehale's office at Washington, after Allen had learned of the resentment of Negroes against his attempt to put on the Supreme Court a man who was willing to deny to the Negro all of his citizenship rights; was present at the Kansas City meeting, in the city, and heard from the lips of Pickens a scathing denunciation of Henderson's will, which sell out the rights of his own race in return for a political appointment.
According to the Wichita Beacon of August 2nd, Henderson is quoted as warning Negroes "aboutighting against their best interests when they have nothing to fight with." Henderson alleged "that everything the Negro owned or hoped to be in America is owed to the good interest of the white people." Henderson is quoted also as bitterly assailing the N.A.A.C. saying that between some white and colored people in Kansas that Mr. Pickens had no business urging Negroes to voicen against Allen, but ought to give his advice to Negroes in the South.
White's Statement
Walter White, acting secretary of the N.A.A.C.P., in commenting upon the Kansas primary declared: "Republican nomination chiefly due to the fact that there were so many opponents in the field against him. The combined vote of the three candidates considerably in excess of that polled by Allen. Hod it not been for this division of the opposition it is the current leader of the party, five per cent more. No reeves of Kansas voted against Allen would have meant defeat. As it Allen had to put up the greatest efforts the campaign in trying to hold Negroes."

(Washington Bureau of the AFRO)
WASHINGTON. — Secretary of Labor James J. Davis was one of the first men in the law school before the opening of the Bar Association Thursday morning. He was sitting on the platform before the first session convened.
After referring to Karl Phillips as one of the ablest men in the Labor Department, the secretary said in part:
"As secretary of Labor in the President's cabinet nearly ten years, I have had many opportunities to observe all the component groups of our population. It is gratifying to note that all the wage earners in America are steadily forging ahead though there are problems which demand the best thought and attention of all. In the evolution toward better wages, more recreation, improved educational advantages, better homes, broader and better civil life, the wage-earners of the colored people are making marked advance, which is gratifying to the whole nation. "Through all the ages the great leaders of your profession have illuminated the pathway of civilization by tempering harsh and barbarous laws with mercy and justice."
Following the address of Secretary Davis, a welcome on the behalf of the city government to the association was made by Commissioner Dr Luther Reichelderfer. A response was made by Charles E. Robinson, president of the Washington Bar Association.
William L. Houston, representative of the Washington bar, also welcomed the visiting barristers; C. Francis Stradford, past president of the National Bar Association, responded.
The President Speaks
Raymond Pace Alexander, president of the association, in delivering his annual address, said, in part: "Political appointments awarded by Republican leaders to Negroes for many years are now being given to men of the other race. The Negro is being ignored in the patronage of the party to which he has given life-long support. It is incredible to believe that all persons appointed to fill public office can belong only to the white race. "Because of this treatment, we naturally look for another way to turn politically and wonder what the future course should be. We see the beneficial results of Democratic allegiance as demonstrated in New York and Massachusetts. We see the Federal officials in Texas telling the government in Washington by action, the same that Coleman Blease of South Carolina said in words, "To hell with the Constitution," when a Negro in Texas attempts to vote the Democratic ticket.
"We are forced by circumstances to cast our ballot not by virtue of traditional allegiance, but for the man--for the party that offers opportunities to the men and women of color."
Postmaster Talks Politics
* Reports of various committees were heard at the Friday morning session, following which an address was delivered by Postmaster General Walter B. Brown. "I know that most of you are Reubilicans," stated Mr. Brown, "but

Prominent St. Louis Couple Seek Divorce
ST. LOUIS, Mh. (ANP)—William O. McMahon, private detective and erstwhile general manager of the Douglass and Standard Life Insurance Companies, and recently engaged in undertaking business, has been a cruel and barbarous husband, according to a petition for divorce by his wife, Nell Brown McMahon this week.
Mrs. McMahon, daughter of Prof. Charles A. Brown, prominent Knight of Pythias and principal of L'Ouverture School here, sets forth in her bill, that on numerous occasions she flogged her, pounding her in the face with his fists.
On numerous occasions for fourteen years he kicked the furniture over all murders, tore pictures from the wall, tore paper into small pieces and strewed it throughout the house.
There are two children, 8 and 10.
Be bigger than anything than can happen to you.
Opportunity never knocks at the door of a knocker.
this is neither the time nor place for political discussion."
The foregoing statement by Mr. Brown was prompted by a declaration of President Alexander in regards to the indifferent attitude of the administration on to problems affecting the Negro.
"There has been much gossip," he continued, "in the newspapers growing out of political differences. It is not necessary for me to say to you that there can be no justification of any statement that I have of appreciation of the opportunities which the men and women of Negro areas are building in our national affairs."
Assemblyman Rivers Talks
Advising interest in certain types of legislation for the protection of the race, Francis Rivers, New York assemblyman, declared at the morning session, Friday:
"The Negro lawyer must develop a sensitive and intelligent public opinion. The following technique must be developed (1) leaders must analyze the needs of respective colorities and determine which of the needs can be bettered by legislation; (2) leaders must confer with the groups in question and agree on what laws are necessary; (3) they must draft the legislation on, and get it introduced into the legislature; (4) after the bill becomes a law, the leaders should to it that the direct and indirect benefits of the law are given the widest publicity in order to aid in educating public opinion to that
"The members of the Bar Association should at stated periods report the following: (1) the laws passed by their state legislature affecting the Negro indirectly and indicating of them are owed to such defenses; (2) the same information could be given as to bills introduced; (3) a statement as to what legislation might aid the Negro group in their section; (4) a statement as to how the laws are enforced; (5) a statement as to the content to which the colored people take these laws and understand them."
Praise for Smith
Seciplo A. Jones, of Little Rock, Arkansas, was scheduled to speak following Mr. Rivers. Mr. Jones sent a telegram of regrets that he could not be present, also his address, which was read to the audience.
Extracts from the reading are:
"I began the practice of law in Arkansas and throughout the South at a time when Negro lawyer creature. I have found generally that the courts of the South have sought to be fair and impartial in the administration of justice.
"There have been notable exceptions, but Southern men of the Bourbon South, of our profession, who were elevated to the bench are of the Southern aristocracy, with a pride of race, and with a deep appreciation for the hallowed tributes of the English law. Thus endowed and motivated, they are unwilling to break the great chain of the voluminous library of judicial law just to do injustice to the cases espoused by the black lawyer."
E. K. Jones Talks
Other, speakers who addressed the association were Eugene Kniclek Jones, of the National Urban League, and Euclid Taylor, assistant State's attorney of Chicago. Mr. Taylor was with Octavius Granady when the politician was killed some years ago, and received wounds in the chase. Mr. Jones told brief details the legal profession had taken in the work of the Urban League in producing a better understanding of the laws by the masses.
Mr. Taylor told the association that most of the crime committed by Negroes in Chicago was by those who came from the South, who, through lack of training and opportunity, were unable to adjust themselves.

that Church was up for re-election to membership on the Republican State Executive Committee, and that Bruce's name was on the instruction card with Church, King, and two women, all of whom were nominated.
Lily Whites Quote Brown
The Lily Whites quoted Walter Brown's statement, that the administration did not want colored people to take a prominent part in Republican politics in the South, and that they did not want them to be members of State or local committees. President Hoover's "noble experiment" in Republican politics in Georgia, Mississippi and South Carolina was referred to over and over again.
The most remarkable thing about the whole affair is the official G.O.P. vote polled, which follows:
For Governor, C. Arthur Bruce, 7,379; for Governor, Harry T. Burn, 206.
For Republican State Executive Committee (four elected, two men and two women), Mrs. J. S. Shortle (white), 6,858; R. Church, 7,436; C. H. King (white), 6,872; Mrs. J. S. Shortle (white), 6,858.
Church Only Colored
Church was the only person of color on the ballot, and he not only lead the four members who were elected to the Republican state committee but in addition polled more votes at Memphis than C. Arthur Brue; the successful Republican nominee for Governor.
Election Officials Colored
Election Officials Course
Without the Memphis man it is clearly now your job. Bruce would have been the nomination. Most of the officers of the Republican primary in Memphis were colored men and women. They held the ballot boxes and conducted the election, and it was in the thickly populated color areas that Bruce received his vote.
According to colored workers here, President Hoover "Noble Experiment" must work in some states of the South, but in Tennessee, never.

Carl J. Murphy, editor of the AFRO-AMERICAN, was the speaker at the AFRO Club meeting Saturday when he gave a second lecture on his recent trip to Haiti as unofficial host of the National commission illustrating his lecture with slides of photographs made on the trip.
Views of the homes, natives, government buildings including the president's palace, transportation, street scenes and the schools were included. The three types of schools found in the country were illustrated, the Catholic; the national, operated by the United States government established by the United States government, mainly for the development of agriculture.
The listeners learned that everything in the country was carried on the head, chiefly by the women. One photograph showed a man carrying a casket on his head to the home of a recent suicide. Others showed tall, straight hair, bearing large baskets on their heads.

"Uncle Tom" Blake, who it is

"The state of the country reveals that in the main there is better understanding and the southland. It reveals also that in the South demagogues who used to be elected to office on the southland and white supremacy are being very steadily displaced by men who aspire to office because of their merit and worth in their resignation, and who are the fact that the Negro represents a minority group and there is no possibility of a minority group controlling a major population. There is also no possibility of social equality. It is undesired and would not be accepted by any Negro even if there was a possibility of a thing.
Civic Rights
"Further, the civic rights of Negroes are being respected more and more by each state of the United States, and when the Negro voter could be bought by the political party which promised him forty acres of land and a mule. That day has gone forever. The Negro has become educated and intelligent enough to know what party is his friend and will secure for him his civil, industrial, and economic opportunities and total opportunity with other people in the competitive fields of life."

Mr. DePriest took up forcefully a variety of important topics in his address: "continuously on the go to benefit the 15,000,000 Negroes in America," he said. "I am the first Negro to stand on the left side of the last twenty years. Each Congressman has the right to appoint a youth to attend the United States Military Academy at West Point and the last Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland. I have been criticised for appointing a Negro youth to attend West Point, but my friend if I didn't appoint them would be better." "I am sending another Negro to West Point and three to Annapolis, for I feel that if our men are good enough to be officers, they good enough to be officers."

NO NEED FOR VILLA
SAYS A'LELIA WALKER
Does Not Expect to Make Expensive Show Place on Hudson, Her Home.
CHARITY BENEFITS
Part of Sale Proceeds to Some Institution, Ransom Says.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Because she did not expect to occupy the Villa Lewar as a home and because it had served its purpose as a show place, Mme. A'Lella Walker came to the decision to sell it, according to F. B. Ransom, manager of the Mme. C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company.
Mr. Ransom, on being asked about the reported plan to sell the Villa Lewar, the following to say:
"The Villa Lewar was erected and furnished at a cost of approximately $400,000. The cost of the grounds, plus the $25,000 roadway, built and the buildings, brought the total cost to a half million dollars. Aside from the gardens, the swimming pool and other modern improvements, there are four and one-half acres included in the estate, making it one of the most attractive and desirable estates in that section of the country.
Life Estate
"The will of the late Mme. C. J. Walker provided that the villa should go to her daughter, and she will be dead, it was to go to such of our Negro institutions as were doing most for racial uplift. "We have kept the villa for C. J. Walker, over eleven years ago. It has never been occupied by the daughter for other than week-end visits, as she has always done. "She lives at 108-110 W. 139th Street, New York, and her modern and expensive apartment on Edgecombe Avenue, spending part of her time in Indianapolis, where she has extensive holdings.
Very Expensive
The Mme. C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company has at all times maintained a full corps of helpers, housekeepers, and not would of having an estate of that kind in that section of the country unless it was properly maintained and kept up. Needless to say, the expensive especially in the light of the fact that the house has not been used as a residence by Mme. A. Lelia Walker. Walker recently decided that inasmuch as she never expected to occupy the villa as a home, there was no occasion for keeping it longer. We have kept copies of the villa, national organizations and clubs; everybody has seen it. consequently, it is no longer a show place. For that reason Mme. Walker has decided, of course she can get her price.
"In the event of a sale, because of the will of the late Mme. Walker, a definite part of the proceeds will be used to pay the Mme. Lelia Walker, under the will, only has a right to sell her life interest."

CHICAGO RECOVERS FROM BANK CRASH
Depositors Now Pin Hopes on Reorganization of Binga State.
DOUGLASS UNSHAKEN
Anthony Overton Institution Shows Strength in Crisis.
CHICAGO RECOVERS—24 pt
CHICAGO. — (ANP). — Chicago's South Side settled back somewhat to normalize this week as it slowly recovered from the hysteria which gripped the entire colored district as the result of the closing of the Binga State Bank.
Before the flurry was over, however, two other financial institutions had closed their doors, the Roosevelt Bankers, controlled by the Blower brothers, Jews, and located at 47th and South Parkway; and the Citizens Trust and Savings, located at 55th and State Streets, operated by whites but having a colored employee or two.
The panicked feeling spread until their withdrawals from every bank in the district, threatening institutions which were entirely strong and sound because of the weakening of their positions less severely. By Monarch, however, conditions were reported as returned to normal.
10 Days Delay
Meanwhile, plans for reorganizing the Binga Bank have been held in abeyance until the state auditors report can be made a task expected to continue for days longer. The bank's board of directors has been appointed to work out plans for re-opening. On the committee were named C. N. Langston, D. G. Dalley, Col. John R. Marshall, and T. R. Webb. While these directors were not talking for publication, privately most of them say they are hopeful of reorganizing and reopening. One or two predict
Binga Not Accessible
Former President Jesse Binga has been inaccessible since the crash but he has signed over his property, bank stock, and equities in various parcels of real estate to be used in an effort to realize on them and remove from the bank the frozen or slow assets belonging to Mr. Binga. The securities and equities turned over are said to represent a valuation of
Banks Stand Strain
The rest of the banks in the district withstood the strain well. The Douglass National Bank as did the others, showed surprising strength. President Anthony Overton reported many account balances and collections. The support of the federal reserve bank which sent cash, together with a belief of the people that a national bank is backed by the federal, both operated by the Douglass.
The Lincoln State Bank, 31st and State, an institution with a mixed board and a number of colored stockholders, stood a devastating run, finally invoking the 60-day clause restricting withdrawals of savings. The Industrial at 41st State followed the same pattern. Most of the patrons who withdrew accounts placed them in downtown institu-
Not to Reopen
It is reported that the Roosevelt Bankers will not open again. Officers of the Citizens Trust say they will reopen within a week, and faces the reorganization group of the Binga Bank is want $430,000 worth of paper a huge one. The bank examiners removed. If this bank reopens, the bank will reopen. These mortgages and notes while not liquid now, are said to be reasonably certain of collection or renewal during a period of three months. Of the $75,000 is said to be involved in foreclosures with probable additional valuation resulting.

Whistling Evangelist Now Occupies Stage at Tindley Temple.
IS "REAL" SHOW
Clapping, Dancing, Whistling are Features.
(Special to the AFRO AMERICAN) PHILADELPHIA, Fa—"If any of Philadelphia's '400' are in the house, get out, we need more room than we have," declared Elder G. W. Becton, whistling evangelist, head of the Gospel Feast Party now conducting a revival at Tindley Temple, here.
Elder Becton whose wardrobe and equipment included 17 pairs of shoes, a bearskin coat, a cape for formal wear, an English derby, a high-powered automobile and a fund of stargressions which he did not exhaust in his recent meeting in New York.
The evangelist gets money by way of consecrated dimes, sacred silver quarters, sacrifices, sacred silver coins, the last named are really pamphlets but is supposed to carry with them a blessing and good luck. He has in his repertoire such expressions as "What I see I hold of your dollars, it's just too bad." "Ain't that thing sweet?" "Better stop winking and blinking." "Raisse your right hand and clean shin and corn bread ain't." "Better stop your bucking and raring."
"Be Ready"
In Tuesday night's sermon Rev. M. Becton took night as his text, "Be Ready When He Comes. Don't Let Him Hurt With Your Work Under." He said, "There is no need to buck and rare or put on airs or bother about what this one or that one says, be ready, be careful, be careful. You may be too busy trying to be hot. But you had better take time to give God because you've got to die. "God didn't put you here to decorate. "God doesn't know you by your popularity or by your name. He'll only know you by the kind of gift you will have on hand. The Devil begs you to come and put on the garment of numbers, dancing and card playing. But there stands Jesus asking you to deny yourself of Philadelphia and Massachusetts, card tables and dance halls."
Running Around
"There is somebody in here tonight who raised their hand and said she had religion and yet se is running with some women and half between you and God. Is there a card table between you and your Lord? Have you stopped turning your home into a bad house?"
Mr. Becton put on a good show, his musicians played two baby grand pianos, a cornet and a pipe organ. On the stage the evangelist clapped his hands, ran up and down and imitated the motions of a jockey on a horse.
music was furnished by the Eight Hot Chocolates.
MR. AND MRS. WILLIAM H. JACKSON announce the engagement of their daughter, Theria Mildred, to Richard Cleese, son of Mr. and Mrs. Becton. The wedding will take place August 25.

ST. LOUIS, Mo—This city which last week apologized because it permitted Poro College to move its cosmetic manufacturing plant to Chicago without a struggle, apologized this week because Walthall M. Moore was defeated for Congress in the Twelfth District by L. C. Dyer, white, by a two to one vote.
The St. Louis Argus says:
"Of course there were many elements which entered into the campaign as contributing factors; but in the final analysis, the chief cause we regret to state, is that the Negroes are not ready to take such a forward step.
"Despite their so-called intelligence, it is real surprising to note that so far they are able to grasp and digest the real significance of electing a Negro to the United States Congress.
"Of the common people, we have no complaint. They are the loyal legions' of honor. They are those who suffer most because of conditions as they are in this country. The difference between them are the so-called class is that they are in a bad condition and know it, while others are in a bad fix and don't know it.
"Had Mr. Moore been nominated and elected, not only would every Negro in St. Louis have been benefited directly, but the cause of every Negro in the United States would have been helped as nothing else has done in more than one-half of a century. In this, as in so many other cases, it is hard to understand just how people are careless or indifferent to their own interest. "We realize that in all forward movements a backward people must be brought out of 'Egypt,' despite themselves. Unfortunately, there are many amongst us who are still slaves at heart. There are others whose belly is their god and who would sell their soul for a mess of 'pottage.' "We must remember those who betrayed us in a crisis like this when every true and loyal Negro was needed to espouse a great cause, and we forget that such persons do not deserve our respect and confidence." Final counting of the ballot showed Diver 8658: Moore 4572.

Sees U.S. Out of Haiti Under Hoover Reign
WILLIAMSTOWN. Mass. — Hope that the Hoover administration will discontinue control of Haiti was expressed by Dr. Jesse S. Retves, a white professor of law at Michigan, in a statement to the members of the Institute of Politics, in session here.
The Hoover administration, he declared, is unsympathetic toward the intervention. He declared that he would not accept the opportunity to relinquish responsibility of control there. All the relations with Haiti should be localized through treaties, he said, and believes that a Platt Amendment to Haiti should end all trouble there.

Counsel for Banking Commission Says He Made Bail too Low.
Missing Man Charged with Many Crimes.
PHILADELPHIA—Magistrate Edward H. Henry, only Negro jurist on the municipal court bench here, was brought under fire last week when Charles Klein, white, counsel for the building and loan division of the State Banking Commission, declared that he would ask the district attorney's office to investigate the magistrate's action in granting bail to B. G. George, accused forger.
George, according to Klein, has skipped town after being placed under $800 ball by Magistrate Henry. This ball, he said, was ridiculously low for the charges under which George was arrested. The magistrate has been notified to forfeit the ball posted for George. George was
der $800 ball by Magistrate Henry. This ball, he said, was ridiculously low for the charges under which George was arrested. The magistrate has been notified to forfeit the ball posted for Judge Henry. George was arrested Friday in connection with the insolvency of the Dunbar Building and Loan Association, of which he was secretary.
Signed Bail
According to the State banking commission attorney, the manipulations of George wrecked the building and loan association, charged by the bank, fororging stockholder's checks and forging loan notes.
The hearing was set before Magistrate Oswald, but when Klein appeared before that jurist to prosecute George, he was informed that George had been informed on a copy of the charges in the bail of $200. It was then that Klein declared that he would carry the matter to the District Attorney.
Is Well Known
George, who has been regarded as one of the most successful contractors in the city, is well known in business and social circles. He is married to three children, when asked for a statement by the AFRO-AMERICAN correspondent, Judie Henry declared he had nothing to say. It is expected that she will be the Secretary of the attorney's office this week to explain the affair.

Newspaper Man Prosecutes Restaurant rant on Obesity Denied Assignment
By ORRIN C. EVANS
PHILADELPHIA. Pa.—John M. Nagle, white, of 727 Wynnwood Road, manager of a branch of the Horn and Hardart Restaurant Co. was arrested on Tuesday after Magistrate John Cozos on Friday afternoon, after Joseph H. Rainey, Jr., a member of the staff of the Philadelphia Tribune, and Charlotte Wayne, 1717 Graham Lane, La Mott, to serve them because of their color. Nagle categorically denied having refused service to the couple, insisting that Rainey and Miss Wayne had not been willing to await their turn.
Denial Doubted
The magistrate, however, doubted Nagle's denials and held the manager for violation of the Act of 1887 which stipulates that any person refusing to accommodate a person in a restaurant is guilty of a misdemeanor, and is liable for a fine of more than fifty dollars or more than one hundred dollars.
The Law
The act which formed the basis of the registrate's decision reads:
the magistrate's decision reads:
"Any person, company, corporation, behalf of the magistrate, hotel, hotel, railroad, street railway, highway, busine, line, concert, hall, or place, entertainment, accommodate, convey, or admit any person or persons on account of race, disability, or other need, or on restaurant, theatre, cessant-hall, or place of amusement, shall, upon conviction thereof, be guilty of a misdemeanor. It is the cateriae type, each patron placing his or her order with countermen and counterwomen.
Won't Serve Colored
"I stood at the counter for fully served food and was only slightly ignored by those behind the counter, although any number of people on either side of me were being constantly served." Railney testified.
Naghe was what he was. I called his attention when he being slighted he merely looked at me, but continued to disregard me. Finally I went to the cashier's booth and asked to see the manager. The girl rang her bell.
"Once Nake started to come to the front but when he . . . he I was there he turned away. Then I threatened to walk out with the unpunched checks unless she got him. It was that he came. "Rainey continued.
When Rainey demanded that the manager see that he obtained service Nagle is alleged to have retorted. "I won't see you," he other colored person rests vaulted on.
Behind Bars
The next day Rainey swore to a warrant for the arrest of Nagle.
Nagle was arrested late last Thursday night by Manistrate Roebert. He was placed in jail and remained behind bars until friends could get the signature of a magistrate to the "copy of the charges."
In placing bail Manistrate Coons understands that he would require substantial bail in the case. He would not permit Nagle to sign his own bail bond.
The credit for the success of the case belongs to the law firm of Nix, Rhodes and Humbert, and attorney Mercer L. Lewis, a member of the law firm who personally prosecuted the case. It was attorney Roberto and attorney John who discovered the statute on the statute books.

THOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER (1905)
Booker T. Washington addressed the sixth annual session of the Business League at Palm Garage Street and Lexington Avenue, New York, August 17th.
President Rovessel sent greetings and there were addresses by Judge Robert H. Vaughan of Thomas Forsyth, editor of Dr. John T. Powell of Washington, and many notables.
Oswald Garrison Villard spoke harshly of the colored domestic and Judge Terrell admitted many servants due to secrecy. The time has come for the Negro to quit meeting and passing resolutions and demands to which no serious-minded American pays attention.
One tangible achievement in creative effort, he said, would bring us protection and respect than any recital of wrongs we can make.
He urged Negroes to stay in the South and predicted that the removal of four millions to the North would create a more serious and complicated problem than existed in any Southern

Richmond Hospital Slackers
Two weeks ago these columns discussed the slackers in the Provident Hospital campaign in Baltimore, who subscribed $174,726 three years ago and have paid only $60,000 of their subscriptions. Richmond, Virginia, which staged a similar campaign about the same time checks up today to find that Richmond whites subscribed $29,870 to the colored Community Hospital and paid $16,497 or 55 per cent.
Richmond Negroes subscribed $76,636 and paid
$19,408 on thirty per cent.
Richmond Negroes subscribed $76,536 and paid $10,488 or thirteen per cent.
Colored Baltimore paid thirty-four per cent of its pledges, colored Richmond thirteen per cent.
White Baltimore paid ninety per cent of its pledges, white Richmond fifty-five per cent.
Part of Richmond's poor showing is due to the fact that its hospital is still on paper. Its trustees report that some subscribers pledged $12,000 which is not payable until the contract for the new hospital is let. As soon as Baltimore concluded a campaign, work on its new hospital will begin.
The AFRO points out that far too large a number of subscribers in Richmond and Baltimore have not kept their pledges. In fact, the number is so large that it casts a reflection upon the entire community, and constitutes a problem to which both cities must seriously give attention.

Three Banks Fail
Failure of banks in Philadelphia, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, and Atlanta several years ago was due in nearly every case to mismanagement of the officials. These were so-called "private" banks, not operated under state or national supervision.
The three banks, one colored and two white, which failed in the Chicago colored section last week, were not private but state banks, and investigation officials were not in management with the management or fraud.
The National Association of Supervisors of State Banks, which met two weeks ago in Boston, reported that five thousand banks failed between 1921 and 1928—not because of embezzlement of funds, not because of excessive loans for the car to be purchased by the customers, or any of those other classic causes of failures that the whole history of banking has presented in such an unpleasant array. Insolvency, or bankruptcy, is a kind of judgment to which the term of bad banking must not be truthfully applied. The mistake of the management in most of these cases was that of being too loyal to the commercial community to local business. The bank came to grief because its
assets were frozen. The borrower himself was not essentially bankrupt. His statement truthfully presented showed a wonderful array of assets, but he was simply the victim of a widespread condition.
"Frozen assets" means that bankers put their depositors' money into loans or investments from which they can not get it back quickly when needed.
Colored Chicago, advancing more rapidly commercially than any other U.S. city, must rub its eyes this week to find it has four million dollars in bank vaults or be closed tight and not likely to be opened for some time. Even when opened these vaults are likely to contain only one million instead of four.
The arrethm of this set-back is that Chicago will have an increased appreciation of banks as the Douglas National, managed by Mr. Anthony Overten along with other Overton interests, which weathered the storm and remains open.
The country learns the lesson that state banks can fail as easily as private banks and that state supervision cannot make up for inexperience of bank management.

The country learns the lessons that state banks can fail as easily as private banks and that state supervision cannot make up for inexperiences of bank management.
Postmaster General Walter A. Brown, white, addressing the National Bar Association in Washington last week suggested—that the tempered judgment of the colored voter would lead him to give his principal support to the Republican party, especially since the chaos in the Republican national convention was characterized the difficulties of Ben Davis in Georgia, with the Republican administration, as largely personal conflicts, in no wise indicating the general attitude of those in central and the Republican party toward the Negro.
In view of the failure of Mr. Hoover to appoint Negroes to federal office, to mention Negroes or their problems in his messages to Congress or otherwise to interest himself publicly in their behalf, even when the War Department sends Negro War Mothers abroad Jim Crow, it is fair to assume that the "general attitude of those in control of the Republi-
Carolina's Suicides
The North Carolina State Board of Health announces that the annual white suicide rate for the past sixteen years is 5.4 per 100,000 population; the average suicide rate for colored people 15.2. Every year in North Carolina 14 colored and 19.3 whites commit suicide. The explanation of the department is that the colored people are extraverted race. They do not brood. Nordics are said to be introverted. Knowing North Carolina as we do, these figures indicate to us that Negroes have more to worry about in North Carolina, but whites do the most worrying. If whites had no difficulties along with their great tendency to worry, Iret, stew, and finally commit suicide, it appears that their suicide rate would equal our death rate from tuberculosis.

Kansas Learns
The N.A.A.C.P. and the Kansas City Call made a fine fight in Kansas against pro-Parker Senator Henry J. Allen in the Republican primary last week. According to early returns, polled 80,925 votes. James P. Gettys 25,610 votes. Ralph Snyder 43,123 votes and W. H. W. Sproul 34,000 votes.

Moore Loses
Louis muffed its last week to send company to Mr. Oscar DePriest in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Congressman L. Dyer, white, in the 12th District, polled 9,856 votes in the Republican primary and Mr. Walthall Moore, a member of the Missouri legislature, 4,572 votes.
Mr. Dyer is the dean of Missouri Congressmen. His constituents have sent him to Congress nine times in the past seventeen years. Many Missourians remember that Mr. Dyer introduced in Congress the first national anti-lynching bill which passed the lower house but failed in the Senate. A similar bill bearing his name has been introduced at the beginning of each new Congress.
Facing an old timer with the prestige of Mr. Dye. Mr. Moore relying on friendship rather than a campaign fund, made a remarkable showing.
St. Louis understands better today than heretofore that it cannot nominate a colored Congressman over Mr. Dyer unless it is able to spend more sufficient to build an organization to conduct what Mr. DePriest has termed a house-to-house, door-bell campaign.

To Visit or Not to Visit
The AFRO-AMERICAN condenses President Hoover and the War Department for the color line in seeding Gold Star Mothers on a pilgrimage to the French cemeteries. At the same time it is no new color line we have to face. It is the old enemy that Negroes meet when they seek a civil service position, or a cadetship at West Point or Annapolis. Such being the case, the AFRO advised Gold Star Mothers not to give up their pilgrimage to the graves of their dead in France. For many mothers, it would bring courage through the years to come. Ask them to lay this sacrifice on the altar of American race prejudice, we thought too much. Those who had suffered most and sacrificed most should not be given greater burdens to bear. Interviews with these Mothers in France, after their trip to the cemeteries, were published in last week's AFRO-AMERICAN. They indicated a peace and satisfaction that made the pilgrimage for them the crowning event of their lives.
The AFRO-AMERICAN is convinced that President Hoover's Republican administration is responsible for the Jim Crow of these War Mothers, and a campaign against Hoover in next election will prove far more effective than asking three hundred mothers not to visit their loved ones' grave abroad.

Those who had suffered most, and most should not be given greater burdens to bear, Interviews with these Mothers in France just after their trip to the graves were published in last week's AFRO-AMERICAN. They indicated a peace and satisfaction that made the pilgrimage to the crowning event of their

Borno Has Gourdes
Mr. Louis Borno, exiled ex-president of Haiti, and Mr. H. P. Davis, white, author of "Black Democracy," are reported as backers of a ranch for tourists somewhere in the Caribbean.
Mr. Davis, known to Americans who financed his schemes, as "Horse Power" Davis, promoted sugar and tobacco plantations in Haiti which failed, causing him to leave the island and many debts behind him.
Once back in the U.S., Mr. Davis wrote "Black Democracy," a book which is a Bible for the American opposition, which it justifies. On the other hand, Haitians regard Mr. Davis as a jacassin and his book as the work of a Negro-worker.
It is interesting to note that Mr. Borno, the exile, is about to go into partnership with one whom his countrymen heartily detest. It is obvious that "Horse Power" the promoter this time at the hands of Mr. Borno and not with the funds obtained from U.S. financiers. We know that if Wall Street was easy for "Horse Power," Mr. Borno will be easier.
What is most evident from the announcement, is this: Exile Borno may have been compelled to flee Haiti in an airplane to escape with his life, but in all his hurry, he managed to take with him Haitian gourdes sufficient to attract the attention of scheming promoters.

ALL THINGS ARE THEIRS
(From Legend of Salem Oak and Other Poems)
Though some, no earthy goods can claim,
The world is theirs. By their deeds done,
The mighty power of lightning flame,
When transformed, their engines run;
The harnessed Doves of their ships propel;
And both Doves of their presence tell,
The landscape's beauty and perfume,
Brooks, birds, all nature sings, "Te Deum."
Life, hint of immorality,
Threats and boundless is thy scope;
Most precious is thy legacy,
Imbued with energy and hope.
When life is spent and work is done,
Thoughts turn to peace and glory won.
Death, liberator of this frame.
Belongs to those who praise His name.
Though some, no earthy goods can claim,
The world, life, death, all things are theirs,
Kich are they who possess thee,
Christians—they who redeemed heirs.

You took Mr. Schuyler to talk because he made what you wanted to say, saying that Dr. R. R. did not take his chauffeur into the cateria to dine with him, but that it was the other members of the committee.
Well it was a mistake, elitique, doesn't matter as it and it seems so singular that the editor of the AFRO has just discovered since he went to Haiti with Dr. Moton that he has no inferiority complex.
I support the moton can, and I know that Moton did not stand up like a man, and I love that singing of spirit makes the whole backing and poetry by the Negro commission makes the whole group bandanna.

More Favorable to Negro than President Andrew Johnson's Proposal.
To the Editor:
The Alexandra (Va) Gogate quote from one of its issues 65 years ago, has a statement, which will be part as follows:
The following is the substance of a conversation which took place yesterday as telegraphed Kahn by the agent of the Associated Press.
The President said that he demanded the propriety of the Constitution. One great amendment to the Constitution. One great amendment had been made, by which slavery had forever been abolished within the limits of the United States, the alliance between the Constitution should never exist again in the land.
Propositions to amend the Constitution were between the premises and regulations at town meetings called to consider questions connected with the administration of the state, the alliance between the respect and confidence of the people in their government, and prestige attached to the Constitution and to lessen the respect and confidence of the people in their government.
If, however amendments are to be made to the Constitution changing the basis of representation he knew of none better than a simple proposition, the number of qualified voters the basis of representation. Such a proposition could be made. The number of qualified voters shall be apportioned among the several states which may be included within this union according to the number of qualified votes in
Such an amendment the President suggested, would remove from Congress all issues in reference to the political equality of the races. It would leave the States to determine absolutely the qualification of their own voters with regard to the number of seats they would defend upon the number they then confer the right of suffrage.
The President referred to was Andrew Johnson. The 14th Amendment as adopted in 1684, makes the basis of representation rest on the "qualified number" of voters in the "qualified" states as proposed by President Johnson.
The President referred to was Andrew Johnson. The 14th Amendment as adopted in 1684, makes the basis of representation rest on the "whole number of persons" in each state, not the "qualified voters," as proposed by the 14th Amendment. It further provides for reduction of the representation of each state in proportion to the denial of the right to vote of any of its male inhabitants. While the provisions for the curtailing of representation have not been enforced, clear that the 14th Amendment provides is more favorable to the President Johnson's at least, it was intended to be.
The Amendment further provides for reduction of the representation of each state in proportion to the denial of the right to vote of any of its male inhabitants.
While the provisions for the curtailment of representation have not been enforced, it is clear that the 14th Amendment is more suitable to the Negro than President Johnson's proposal—at least it was intended to be.
The first clause of the Amendment makes all "persons" residing in the District of Columbia. But the amendment of race or color in the 14th Amendment as there is in the 15th Alexandria, Va. _____ F. H. M. MURRAY.
The Free Negro of Maryland.
To the Editor:
I extract from the speech of Col. M. J. McCusick, in the Maryland Legislature, at Annapolis, February 17, 1860, on the pending bill to "re-enslave" the free colored people of the state, may prove of interest:
"There were 75,000 free Negroes in this state at the census of 1860, there can be less than 100,000 time, and some compute their numbers at 100,000.
"Previous to the Revolutionary War there was scarcely a free Negro to be found in the state. We have not widely encouraged the direct African slave trade, but also discouraged Negro emancipation. When the war was over, many of our slaves were set free, because of their old loyalty to the land and their families in the hour of peril. The master went to the field to fight the battles of his country, and the faithful slave was left behind to cultivate the lands and protect the families of the slave population and deep solicitude exhibited by these faithful slaves under such trying circumstances, for the safety and protection of the family left in their care. When the war was over, the gratitude of the masters rewarded their slaves, in many instances with freedom. Hence, at the first census in 1790 we had 8,000 free Negroes in the state, had 100,000 free Negroes in the aggrandement of 11,000 Negro population. At the same time there were 208,000 white population.
"From that time free Negroes rapidly increased till in 1800 we had 19,000; in 1810 we had 44,000; in 1820 we had 33,000; and at the last decade the vast number of 75,000."

In his release to the AFRO readers last week Prof. Kelly Miller, the Dean's Suggestion that Pioneers Plunge into the Political Prohibition Mess.

His query was answered time and again not only for the burden for the rest of the country as well as by Mr. Wm. N. Jones in the "Day By" column of this paper, with valuable and constructive suggestions for the future progress of the profession.
The professor will also find valuable information and advice in Mr. Jones's article last week, "The Baptist Jubilee."
The professor's open letter to the President of the University of Pennsylvania advocating and imploring him to build more and more and more churches and almost demanding him to plunge into the political mess on prohibition, is discouraging and pleasing leaders of the race have remained almost silent on the prohibition mess, no doubt realizing the corruption being wrought up on the race by this unpopular law.
The following extract from the speech of Col. Curtis M. Jacobs, in the Maryland Legislature, at Annapolis, February 17, 1800, on the pending bill to "re-enslave" the free colored people of the state, may prove of interest.
"There were Gads, 1800, in the states in this state, 1800. There are not less than 90,000 at the present time, and some compute their numbers at 100,000.

"When the war was over, many of our slaves were set free, because of their zeal and loyalty to the interests of their masters and their families in the hour of peril. The masters and their families were in the country, and the faithful slave was left behind to cultivate the lands and protect the family from danger. History records many instances of deprivation and deep solicitude exhibited by these faithful slaves under such trying circumstances; for the safety and protection of the family left in their

I am asked to the AFO readers last week, Prof. Kelly Miller, after commenting on the book written by James Weldon Johnson, on Harlem—and after having pictured so vividly past presidents and "Why the relative backwardsness? We query.
His query has been answered time and again, not only for Harlem, but for the rest of the country as well as by him. In this paper, with valuable and constructive suggestions for the future progress of the race.
The professor will also find valuable information and in Mr. Jones's article last week on "The Bartist, Jubilee."
The professor's open letter to the President of the Baptist Convention, advocating and imploring him to build more and more churches and all the amenities to pluminate the prohibition law on prohibition, is discouraging. It is pleasing that, so far, the colored press and worthy leaders of the race have remained almost silent on the prohibition law, no doubt realizing the corruption being wrought upon the race this unproper law.

Why Banks Fail.
Roland Hayes of France.
THE RECENT FAILURE of another one of our strongest banking institutions leads serious minded people to inquire why do banks
tarn.
It is easy to say too much or too little about such an occurrence as the closing of the Binga State Bank in Chicago. By saying too much, there is, of course, the danger of helping to impair confidence in financial institutions run by Negroes in this economic progress is being given the first place in racial development. On the other hand, there is grave danger of saying too little about what might help to keep Stastrophles like this from happening.
A prominent banker, for instance, told this writer that broadcasting the incident, or playing it up to show that there might have been some inefficiency or mishandling of depositors' funds would work great harm. It is, it would be the best thing bankers could do to show that something must have been done inefficiently or erroneously for such a thing to have happened.
People put their money into banks because they believe it is 100 per cent safe. They must not bank it, believing this, for must not banks it IS 100 per cent safe. They must not be led to believe that the cry "frozen assets" or financial depression, is enough to condone a banking failure.
When Negro depositors come to the conclusion that bankers cannot safely hold their money even though they are meant to hold all will spell the doom of Negro financial institutions.
The fact is, there is never any justifiable excuse for a banking failure. When one occurs, something has been done inefficiently, ignorantly or dishonestly. This is as true of white banks—hundreds of which fail each year—as of Negro banks.
The banker zero banks in this country which are run in such a manner that it would take a complete financial collapse of the country to shake them.
Sudden drops in property values as well as sudden drops in stock and securities are happenings which it is the business of bankers to prepare for. But even these can be handled with such conservatism as to ensure safety. Study any case of frozen asset" will discover a reason for big profits, or a business indulgence in taking care of a friend or favored customer.
The capital stock of any banking institution should be able to absorb any margin of loss actually carried on loans subject to wide fluctuations in value. This, together with conservative valuations and connections with financial institutions through which the paper could be converted into cash, would insure any banking institution from failure. One of the most prosperous banks in this country only accepts real estate loans passed on by one or two other institutions who would take it over in an emergency.
But when officials use the banking assets to feather their own nests, solely, they are always liable to make loans or property that themselves may be on narrow or of safety. Practically the banking failures of the past have resulted from this latter procedure.
Of course, there are few banks which could stand a complete "run" however substantial they might be. Whenever all of the depositors take their money out of banks there is nothing but the capital stock upon which to operate.
BUT ANY EVERY BANK SHOULD HAVE SUFFICIENT CAPITAL STOCK TO CARRY ITS OVERHEAD EXPENSES.
One thing must be said to the depositor, however. The surest way to cause an actual loss your funds in a bank is to institute a run of bank has much the chance of safeguarding your money in time of stringency when you leave it there than if you attempt to get yours out before the threatened crash.
When you are tempted to become panicky, write call the State Banking office for advice. It can tell you what best to do if you have no other financial advisor.
It is too soon to pass on what is behind the Binga State Bank failure, and most of us will hope that the "frozen assets" will thaw out.
But the National Bankers' Association must do something else at its annual meetings except devise plans to bring out deposits. They must pirit their teeth and organize to throw out loose practices which hurt the really honest and efficient members among them.
They must keep the public knowing that banks can run, as most of them do, with a 100 per cent margin of safety.
"I HAVE DETERMINED to become a citizen of France and will make Paris my permanent place of abode," the noted Roland Hayes, internationally known tenor, is quoted as saying.
Except to sing, Roland Hayes thus shakes the dust of America off his feet. Over there he can enjoy the comforts of a well-earned fame. Nothing he could do in America would make him a full-fledged citizen. Pity, he never that Roland Hayes was made of fighting stuff; as, for instance, is Robert R. Church of Memphis, who declared once that he would stay in the South and fight it out.
Fighting makes some men happy. The intriguing glory of struggle, the consciousness of breasting the foe in the interest of the weak, brings a certain exaltation of spirit nothing else can give. Glad we are that some men are like Roland Hayes, but still more glad that some are happy only when others are happy.

The Laughs Behind the News
Everybody - is complaining about the weather but nobody seems to be doing anything about it. A lot of people would do something to relieve the heat, but it is too hot to be bothered.
The mercury climbed up to 105 and somebody stole the ladder. A lot of people who turned up the maze at cold storage eggs now envy the eggs.
It has not rained for 40 days on 40 nights and still some people won't believe the storms the flood. It's a poor rule that won't work both ways.
Of course, the weather isn't run according to Hoyle. Lightning strikes twice in the same place, which proves that even the elements like variety.
The reason for the drought is because that they got enough reformers in heaven to pass a prohibition law and now it's bone dry.
You can get some relief by submerging in a tub of water, but some people prefer the heat to taking a bath.
It is extravagance to install a shower bath now when the sun can make water pour off your head and down your back free of charge, but Nature doesn't furnish any soap and towel.
The same sun shines on rich and poor alike, but the rich don't have to stay here and tolerate it.
In the old days the working classes used to drink a lot of beer, but now it's against the law to cool off.
Nature tries to even up things by sending the mosquitoes in summer, figuring that you can keep cool in the wind you sit up by slapping.
Eating meat produces heat, they say, and it would be a great thing if somebody would convince the mosquitoes that they would be more portable if they stuck to vegetables.
The reason mosquitoes make that humming noise before they sting you, is because they always like music with their meals. Mosquitoes may not be the best singers in the world, but they never fail to make an impression.
Of course men might get some relief by wearing fewer clothes, but the women have already reached the limit.
If people wore paper clothes you would not know your own friends because you can't believe everything you see in the papers.
Paper clothes may be an innovation but they have been using paper to make shoes for a long time, only they call it leather.
We often hear of snow covering the earth like a blanket, and it would be swell if somebody would invent a piece of ice that would cover us like a sheet.
In the summer it is too hot and in the winter it is too cold. Nature is like a lot of people we know who are never satisfied with doing a good job, but who always overdo the thing.
In the old days you could keep cool in the theatre, but now the talks make so much noise you can't sleep.
Movie houses could increase their business by giving samples of cool air inside to the people passing along the street.
Churches all over the country are taking special days to pray for rain. It would be too bad if they got the water turned on and it would be too bad if they could put on the armenian that they couldn't find enough water to carr on the baptising and something would have to be done.

CHIPS FROM THE QUARRY
(Coolidge Sips Up on Grammar at Two Dollars a Word-Editor)
An eminent linguist has stated that the most of the changes for better or worse which take place in our language, both as to the meanings of the grammatical forms, are initiated and fixed by those who do know what is correct.
In other words, if an extension or change of meaning even an error of offer is enough and by people enough it may finally slip into the speech and writings of those who know or ought to know better, and thus it may be recognized, recognized andinal acceptance.
In most instances these accents in meaning or use are brought about by a need. For example, the earlier grammatical forms which was "bound" or "obligated" (as a Surety is liable for the debt of his principal), has been extended or expanded to mean, "expose to a probable or possible occurrence; as, The boy is liable to hurt." This latter meaning is now generally accepted, notwithstanding the word "obligated" means to bind "ligare", from which we get "ligature" and other words.
Independent of its origin, the word as used in the sentence given, supplies a need. And this applies to any language in which who needs expanded or changed and also to certain grammatical changes. There are, however, many persistent errors that are seemingly insignificant for this purpose in its neither need nor excuse. Only one need be cited now—"they" (and "their" and "them") in such expressions as this: "Everybody or everyone did what the (to them) did." If the misuse went no further than in such sentences as that—sentences in which the subject ("everybody") is the one who needs to be plurality—it might be accepted. But the use of one of these words to express what is clearly a singular meaning seems wholly unwarranted and inexcusable. Some people who reads the daily papers will find such misuse every day.
As everybody knows who knows any grammar at all. we should use it in such cases, even in such sentences as this: "A man or a woman needs to get work where he can be . . . Of course, he or she" would be better, but the writer had it, just not at all.
There is, of course, no one word that stands for "he or she" but, for three hundred years the language has called for the masculine form he or she and the feminine forms. The English Bible and other stand-forms. "Not everyone that saith unto art literature is full of these masculine me Lord, Lord . . . but he that doeth the will of my Father . . ." (Matt. vii.21). "Therefore whosoever heath these sayings in the book 24). And a dozen examples can be found on almost any page.
Yet, from newspaper scribbler to college dean we find this solemn daily. Even ex-President Coolidge made the error a few days in his writings, and identified fifteen words at two dollars a word.
In his release of July 19. Mr. Coolidge said: "If we judge ourselves only by our aspirations and everyone shall reach a very false conclusion.

Though Not a Scholar, Iniated
the Celebration of the
Bimilary of Virgil's Birth
By KELLY MILLER
The immortality of the intellectual principle has rarely had a more effective exemplification than is manifested in the prolonged and sustained influence of Virgil, the pre-eminent of the period, the year 400 marks the two thousand anniversary of his birth. After a time of so great an interval his still survives fresh with the value of eternal youth. Mussolini, the present day chief of Italy, would restore the glory that was Rome's to its pristine position as mistress of the world. Not a schoolmaster, but a pupil of learning as essential to his statesmanlike scheme of restoration.
He would appeal to the latent patriotism of the Italian nation and to the imagination of marking the world over, not only by the physical restoration of the buried theatre forums and temples of Ancient Rome, but also by the cult upon which their glory and their perpetuity depends. this end the celebration of the thousand anniversary of this Rome an poet supreme was projected.
The classical and learned work received the suggestion gladly and enthusiastically. In America a national committee on Virgilian prizes has been held with the purpose of stimulating further interest in the life and works of Virgil in American colleges.
Professor Geo. Lightfoot on National Committee
Professor George M. Lighterhead of the department of Latho of Howard University, has been asked and has consented to serve on this committee. He has entered upon the duties of the assignment with his wonted enthusiasm and thoroughness. During the last spring quarter, Professor Lightfoot read a paper before the faculty through the Ages" which has been widely acknowledged as an important contribution to the Virgilian biliary celebration.
In this connection, Professor Lightfoot deserves more than a passing word. During the past forty years of raging controversy as to the comparative value of classical and scientific components of the universe, as the stealthy and unmovable champion of the ancient learning.
He has soundly and sanely advocated the belief that the streams of culture which flowed from Greece and Rome are calculated to impart a discipline of mind and an awareness of more than one transient mode of learning to the more practical and instant demands of modern day life. He is no more idle doctrinaire, but is an exemplar of his doctrine. In the rare power of imparting to his students the spirit of precision, exactitude, together with the knowledge of and enthusiasm for subject matter, is undoubtedly preeminent among the best teachers which the colored race has produced. It is only fitting that this devotee
Virgil worked under the patronage of Augustus Caesar, whose reign, he predicted would be without end. It is the poet, rather than the rule, who raises the more permanent influence of the Roman city and detingy it. As the suggestion of his successor, Virgil wrote the Eclocuses with the practical purpose of imitating the Roman gentry into the joys and beauties of agriculture. But the practical value of the poet's influence is by no means related to appreciation of the deities. He was encouraged by Augustus to produce his chief work, as the inspiration and justification of the Roman polity.
Study of Latin Praised by Rooper T. Washington.
I distinctly recall saying to Booker T. Washington, the modern day apostle of things concrete and practical, that I regarded a course in Latin of unmatched ability awakening the dormant pauses and stimulating the energies of Negro youth. To this success he took to this question that he regarded the two years which he devoted to the study of Latin at Wayland Seminary in Washington as the most valuable part of his scholastic education. Let me now conclude this brief summary of the Virgilian celebration in the words of Professor Lightfoot in no other words can it be better
"There have been comparative few choice spirits whose life and influence have been so abiding and so charged with vitalizing power that at the expiration of twenty centuries so large a part of the citizenship of the world is willing, in the storm and stress of the present day, to stop and pay worthy tribute to their memory and to reaffirm their belief in them as continuous benefactor of civilization in a very definite way."

NEW YORK.—The second delegation of colored Gold Star Mothers leaves New York on the Steamer American Merchant, August 16. They will be accompanied by Lieutenant Colonel B. O.

B. L. A. ROGERS
Pierre Bureau of the Afro-American PARIS. — Divided in to groups according to the cemetery in which their loved ones were buried, the Gold Star Mothers and Widows have been visiting the graves. They have visited the Suresnes, the Alpine-Marine, the Verdun, Thiau-court, and other cemeteries, and have praised beside the graves, grateful at least of being able to kneel on the sod and which reposes the one life to his death. hoping thereby to make a better, freer, more democratic world. Only these women themselves will be able to tell what they really feel, but seeing them kneeling beside the white marble crosses that stretch interminably on, row on row, it is impossible in spite of not to feel a place for them.
Some of them have come from very humble circumstances, and, so far as intellect is concerned, have not reached a high state of development. But as to the matters of love and attachment to the one they lost, who doubts that these are as strong? them as in any mother or widow who has ever stood beside the grave of son or husband.
"While admiring to the full three mothers and widows who paid another great sacrifice by refusing to come, as not a judge, these too harshly," said American here. "Let us rather blame the monster of race injustice of which both those who came and those who did not, are the victims."
A Mother Talks
"Ever since I lost my son in 1918 I have been wanting to come," said one, "I would have come over on a cattle-boat. I would have swam over if possible. I love my race as strongly as any other boy. I am sure that the United States was going over. I could not refuse" and her sentiment expresses that of most of the others.

N.A.A.C.P. ACTS IN
Demands Govern : Protect Lives and Property of Negroes
NEW YORK—Immediately upon receipt of an order of the lynching of two Negroes at Marion, Indiana, charged with murder and rape, on the night of August 11, 1913, the Negro section of Marion, the N.A.A.C.P. wired Governor Harry G. Llesh urges that he "utilize every possible resource to protect the lives and property of innocent people, to make every effort be made to apprehend and punish to the full extent of the law the murderers who participated in the lynching"
In comenting upon the Indiana lynchings Walter W. Walters acting secretary of the N.A.A.C.P. made mob murders occurring in a northern state should serve to arouse every decent person, especially Negroes, to a realization of the dangerous growth of lynching within the last few months. The situation is most
"Fear of the Negro's progress, especially in the political field as seen in the defeat of Judah Finke, in the recent uprising. We must stand firm and refuse to permit ourselves to be intimidated, which seems to be the aim of the mobsters. In invasion by the lynchers of a mother slave is disheartening, but a grimly carry on the fight. It seems certain that federal action is necessary to end these outrages."
can dollar has made itself felt against these colored women.
Hotel after hotel refused to take them, fearful of offending their rich American clientele. Finally, one in a much less desirable section of Paris than that in which the white mothers stayed was found. This hotel is patronised by middle-class Europeans, with occasional Americans. When we re-visited this hotel—the Imperator, 70 Rue Beaubourg—a few nights ago, there was a party of Americans in the lebrer.
These are the hotels at which the white mothers stayed; the Ambassador, the Commodore, De Paris, Lutetia, Carlton, and Iena. The first three are first-class hotels; the second three are rated as second-class. So is the Imperator.
As to price, we are informed that it was the same per room, regardless of the hotel, that is, 100 francs ($4) a day, equivalent to a $6 or $6.50 room in America.
We are also informed that those stayed in the second-class hotels really had better rooms for the same reason the government tax is less in those.
Each Had Room with Bath
At the Imperator the colored women were very comfortably lodged. The hotel is a fine, modern one with all conveniences. The rooms are large, air, well-carpeted, and each looks on the street. Each has a woman to a room in separate beds.
As to the cost of the room I was able to verify this by asking the hotel management and Col. Ellis's bureau separately. The 100 francs a day does
So far as actual accommodations inside the hotels are concerned, 'here seems to be no difference so far as I have been able to impalp it. But at which the white mothers stayed here are, with the exception of the Lutiae, all in the heart of the tourist district and much more distant than the utaliae is in Montmassanne and not very far from the Opera.
**Hotel in Business Section**
But the Imperator is back in the wholesale commercial quarter, some distance away from the heart of things.
When I asked at Col. Ellis's office for this I was informed that it was necessary to put them there as the other hotels had refused them. The Ambassador, I learnt, had agreed at first to take the colored mothers, let them stay and. And this we have reason to believe is true. While the big hotels will take one or two occasional tourists, they will not take colored parties because of the objections of their American clientele. Yet, as I wrote at the time, the Hampton party, which was much

All at Same Hotels Outside of Paris
Outside of Paris, however, I have been informed, the colored women have stopped at the same hotels as did the white ones. The same holds true as to restaurants in Paris, and the colored women have stopped at the reception and tea at which Ambassador Edge was present, was held at the Restaurant Laurent, which is very near to the palace of the President of France. This restaurant added a reception to receiving the colored women besides, it was was under contract.
Jim Crow for Money
Paris is the only city in Continental Europe in which one finds color prejudice, and that is because of the French language, especially during the tourist season. The French people themselves will not refuse Negroes on account of color but the hotel-keepers consider their American clientele, and as a result they will refuse whomsover they wish—the idea being to keep out undesirable persons. When this privilege was granted to them, the question of color had in then erased. The sentiment of the European sover, is against color discrimination. With the hotel-keepers, it is a matter of money, and if the Negro mothers were so many millionaires spending a lot of money for de luxe apartments and champagne, it is said that they would not be refused.
Added Two Features
It was pointed out at Col Ellis's office that the colored mothers had two features that the white mothers had: the boat ride up the Seine, and the chicken dinner which was given at Morgan's restaurant on August 16, 1895, longer than the white mothers. Visits have been made to Fountain-beau, Versailles, the Louvre, Napoleon's Tomb, and all the popular points of interest as well as to the apart from the objection as to the site of the hotel. It may be said with certainty that all was done that was possible by those in charge on this occasion, who presides a maximum of good treatment.
Actors' Testimonial
On Wednesday afternoon all the colored musicians and performers of the arts gave testimony at the Imperial under the direction of Noble Sissle. There were original acts from the principal musician, who were Sam Wooding with his orchestra and Norman Thomas of the Empire. Noble Sissle says the news allows that they may not continue to be saddened by what they have

Jim Crow Cheatham
On August 3, the party left for the United States, escorted by Colonel B. O. Davis, who came as special observer for the United States Army, Major-General Cheatham, who proposed the segregation, had already returned, General Cheatham, commanded the period, it is said, especially to escort the women over, and to observe the effect of his suggestion.
Tourists Divided
As to whether the mothers should have come or not, sentiment is divided. The colored tourists have gave up and come, while the colored residents generally believe it was a good thing. It makes the French people see, they content, the part that the coming tourists will play in France. This, it is held, the French people would not have noticed so strongly had there been no segregation. The Parisian paners have carried stories and pictures of the colored mothers, as well as the moving picture theatres, silent and talking, and the commitment by them about the segregation.
On the other hand all but one or two of the tourists have held that the race has lost by their own hands. "Probably the mothers have gained individually by coming as they did, but the whole race has lost. Segregation has gained another victory. It is the principle of the law. If they had all refused to come!"
Other Opinions
Another when told that General Cheatham had suggested segregation as a way of preventing some mothers from insulting their children. But what about the friends that would have been made? Some colored women might have been insulted at first by a white woman here and there but I firmly believe that the majority of those women would have found common cause to be friendly, and they would have been so. I have seen too much of the same thing before to doubt that it would be true that colored women understand the misunderstanding is that colored and white do not come together enough.
**Greater Fuss Over Colored**
One old colored resident of Paris, while strongly in favor of the mothers coming as they did to Congressman DePriest, Walter White and the Negro press for the fight they have made for, but for that, the mothers might not have received such good treatment. "Now," he said, "a greater fuss from the white mothers."
Another group of colored mothers will arrive here later this month, and they will have colored mothers and others of white have seen one another on the battlefields and other spots visited by tour guides. They have been eleven groups of pilgrims.

Number of Colored Depositors Face Losses in Crash
NEWBERN, N.C.-A large number of colored depositors stand in danger of losing a large portion of their life because of the closing of two white banks here. The Citizens' Bank and Trust Company refused to open its doors in the face of a load as a crowd of 10,000 in line before the official opening hours.

PRISON HEADS BREED TROUBLE AT ISLAND
"Race Riot" at Welfare Island Caused by Jim Crow Practice.
NO CLASH
Prisoners Live and Work in Harmony in Spite of Chiefs.
N.W. YORK—Fointing out that the so-called "race riot" at Wetland Island prison, New York, on August 5, was not due to any prejudice on the part of white prisoners toward Negro prisoners, nor to any "red plot," but to the vicious Jim Crawl policies of the prison authorities, and the intolerable and unsanitary conditions accorded the prisoners, the International Labor Defense today issued a statement condemning the prison authorities for their treatment of the Negro prisoners.
"The prison," says the International Labor Defense statement, "is horribly overcrowded and is unsanitary, without a means of protection and with nauseating pains in the cells which the prisoners have to empty in the mornings, blankets only, and no mattresses are assigned to the prisoners.
Jim Crow Deliberate
"To distract the prisoners from their conditions, Patterson, a Southerner, and commissioner of correction, brought the prisoners gives them the hardest work and creates an atmosphere cultivating race strife. In spite of this, however, the bulk of the prisoners no prejudices, and willingly work with each other—both Negro and white.
"It was absurd to bring the part of the prison officers to state that the riot started over a quarrel between Negroes and whites for the baseball field. There are any two teams in the game that they play each other. Consequently, there was no reason for one or the other of them to fight for the field.
"They paddlers, stole piggies, and rine guys, privileged characters enjoying the guards' favor, generally start fights, and this gives the awards an opportunity to dislike the guards, be beating and torturing prisoners, and then proclaim the issue of 'race riots.'"

(Paris Bureau of the AFRO)
PARIS—The death of General de Brummer, cousin and alde de camp of the Grand Duke Nicholas, commander-in-chief of the Russia' Army, during the last war, while serving as a night watchman, recalls the story of William Thomas, American Negro, and night-club proprietor, who had in his employ several grand-dukes and princesses of the old Russian nobility.
Before the war, Thomas who was a native of Georgia, had a night-club in St. Petersburg, now Petrograd. Among his patrons were many members of the highest Russian nobility.
When the war broke, he returned. Unable to make things go, however, he went to Constantinople and opened a night club which proved ful. He made this time the grand-dukes and princesses who were once his patrons, very glad now to embrace this means, and starving for starvation, are told to worked for him, was told at one time a millionaire. He died at few years ago.
As a relative of the Czar, Gen. Brummer saw the belts of plowmen and tassel of horses that life offer. He died a miserable man in a Paris hospital. Many former members of the Czar's biliary are in light in Paris. He was to be supported by the Russian masses: this._prop knocked from under them many of them have sunk to the depths, while others experienced the keen odor of gen-

If Ben Hur lived with us today,
No charist would he ride;
He'd buy a ninety-horse power car
To win his fame and bride.
If poor old Jonah lived today,
He'd find the travel finer;
Instead of riding in a whale
He'd try an ocean liner.
If Mother Eve lived here today,
She'd surely have to smile;
She would not change her mode of dress
And she'd be right in style.
Despite the claim of modern woman to her independence, there is still a faint clinging to the masturbation by even the most independent of the species more heady than the man.
Something of this nature is seen in the increase of the type of women who marry merely for "deceemens sake." In this class are the women who take a man's attention every time he offers, and then get a merry chase after the men of their liking, telling hubby that he can go to the devil.
They ask no companionship of their husband and no occasionally make unreasonable demands for their only thing they ask of a husband is his name. When they err morally, they have this back up, when they Mr. So-and-So's wife the People Who Talk will tell that about all there is to it. Were she a single woman, the risks would be too great.
Look around your circle for this type and see if its numbers aren't increasing.

"Develop Your Individuality," Advises La Blanche Specialist
BY BOBBIE
To be truly chic, one no longer gets the latest style of dress, bobs her hair or wears it long according to "style," nor even just buys a box of powder, I am told "Individuality" is now the watch-word.
For ages I have felt that someone should report on cosmetics, so that we eternal seeken a good look, a little factor in our experiments in this and that cold cream, face powder or perfume, not to mention the dozens of other items that wend their way to our dressing tables. If you have little job ever to do, the little job ever to be done, the AFRO would have to dig up the facts on this, too, so this reporter has been making a tour of beauty shops and toole shops every day.
See I am now what AFRO readers advice on this ting. So I took a straight route for one of the most attractive beauty shops in Baltimore, and ended my quest at the La Jolla.
Mrs. Blanche Dixon, proprietor of the La Blanche Beauty Shop is a true beauty advocate. You actually can buy her makeup and dress into her shop. None of those close, stuffy, smelly parlorers for her, but a cool looking shop done in a buff and green color scheme, with dashing touches of orange and white. She also has the orange and black in trimmings, and operators in trim buff colored smocks, give an atmosphere of comfort: thus the attractive surroundings make you feel like you are in a salon, you surely you will find it here. And to complete the feeling of luxury, modernistic mirrors are here, there and everywhere.
Be Kind to Your Skin
"be kind to your skin," says Mrs. Dixon, and she gives you a list of beauty preparations to use at hour: that are as excellent as her treatments at the shop. Of course, I haven't the space to tell you of all of these, but I do want to mention delightful cleaning cream that has the most refreshing fragrance, is medium in color and has splendid cleaning qualities.
For those who have passed the teen age, where soap and water no longer fill the requirements, getting the proper cleansing cream is a master cleaner, removing all rouge, powder and dust accumulations. Then there is another cream for dry skins that contains a special oil which supplies the skin with the natural oil it lashes. To top this is a refreshing astringent lotion which closes pores, energizes the tissues, smooths fine hair, and stimulates the timing feeling. It also makes a cool base for your powder and rouge.
Individual Powder
But when we got to the powder stage we heard the newest thing. "Have your skin analyzer blend to suit your individuality," advised Mrs. Dixon. And if you use lip stick, there are two shades, tangerine and cherry, that are especially suited for certain skin types. But quite the chic trend this fall is to get a powder base that blends with the tone of your skin (and I love it). You'll have your special shade of powder blended, ignore rouge altogether, and if you have a nice mouth, accent it with quite a deep shade of lip stick.
A Coiffure for Your Contour
And while we are on this analyzing stage, you need to analyze your contour analyzed and have you Prof. Nagayama design an individual coiffure for your specific contour? Well, whether you wear long locks or still wear shorts, you can afford to miss getting one of his marcels. They are just too spiffy 1 words. He is at the La Blanche, too, you know, and what he can do with your hair is well worth seeing.
Bathing for Beauty
With a powder base, a hundred, one makes a point of leaving the water only to sleep and eat.

White Cargo.
With all of the hullabalabo that is being raised in various sections of the country about the photoplay, "White Cargo" I availed myself of the opus of the thing at a theatre, here recently. The picture that I saw contained nothing that would make me want to commit murder or sing the hymn of gratitude, with Tondeleyo, of course, with Tondeleyo, the native girl, and her white lovers, but I did not find a scene or a portion of the dialogue which would make me want to commit murder. It is possible, however, that an alert manager "cut" from the film those scenes which he thought might be offensive, for the run of the picture was too much. But after seeing what I saw, I'm still a peaceful citizen.
Whitees in Paris Find Black Skins in Style
(Paris Bureau of the AFRO)
PARIS—Le Journal of Paris, ridiculing the effort, usually much in evidence, of white persons to burn themselves in the sun until their skins are black has a cartoon showing a scene at the beach.
A white woman in the foreground is shown black that she is indistinguishable from a Negro one. To her husband she says:
Aha, you see I am as black as a Negro. Now I am right in style.
"Not yet," replies the latter, "a real chic Negro woman wears a plate in her lip" (referring to women now on exhibition here).
By the way: the colored French citizens of Paris have protested against the French government in the Congo claiming that it belittles the Negro peoples everywhere.
but otherwise the advantages are all with the submerged. Now the bath, as you perhaps know, may be just a simple little soap-and-water bath. The height of luxury. There are delightful salts as well as soaps, and if you know your economics, you will run right to Read's, whose neighborhood stores you will find among AFR ads. At all these stores you will find a body oil that is equally wonderful for summer burn or winter chaps, and a clean, dry, and pleasant perfume that keeps you as dainty as its name. "Dow." And at the end of your perfect bath you may be just as extravagant as you would be as perfume in the fragrance you like best. One more bath hint. Treat yourself to a peignoir made of bath towel, the kind that soaks up moisture. They really are much nicer than risky, your best negee in the bathroom.
Perfect grooming, of course, can't be completed without the manicure. The La Blanche Shop gives a hand and arm moulding that is designed for the safe side, one should get a professional treatment, once in a while at least, to ensure smooth cuticles and fine textured skin, and then with the modern aids, you are quite sure having well groomed hands with dishes and pounding type-writers. I like the Cutex preparations for basic treatments of the nails and cuticles, and Glazo is nice if you like a liquid polish and remover. It is sticky and easy to clean. It is also liquid polishes have. You can find both of these at the Read Drug Stores, too.
Personality Perfume
You no longer just select a favorite perfume and dab a little on for every occasion. Your perfume matches your personality and your mood. now. If you are of the out-of-clock group, it is its woody odor that you'll like. If you are daunting, the flower bouquets are surrogate; but if you like to be all mysterious, there are oriental blends for you. And because you are a woman, she gets a supply of perfumes that she may cater to these moods.
AFRO RADIO HELPS
NOISE ON THE LOWER WAVES
In many radio receivers, there is considerable variations in the set's sensitivity at different wave lengths. Often a set is extremely sensitive to the broadcast band and much less sensitive on the high. It is for this reason that noise and static seem more intensified on the low waves. In most cases, however, it is no worse than on the higher stations, but merely on the set's sensitive at that point.

But that wasn't all, according to Mr. Forkins. Bearing in mind that his show has a real body of work, other characters were needed. A prima donna who could sing and act, dramatic stars who know what it is all about besides the regular run of players seen in a show. Now that the full complement has been selected rehearsals started last month.

The whir of a plane was so powerful that a leading lieutenant circled the home edge of the company-three days later. He was also engaged to fly over a celebration in Chicago. After the affair was over the aviator arrived at the grounds riding on an army truck. He announced that he was unable to fly. Mr. Julian is now raising funds to purchase planes to carry back to his latest sponsor, King Tafari.

SECOND UNCLE TOM'S
CABIN ANNOYS DIXIE
Evans Wall's "No Nation Girl" Has South Divided into Hostile Camps.
HEROINE MULATTO
For Love of Her White Hero, She Commits Suicide.
Probably no book since "Uncle Tom's Cabin" has created as much discussion in the South as "The No Nation Girl," a book dealing with the race problem, written by Evans Wall, a white southerner.
The story's problem of miscegenation has aroused the South and divided it into hostile camps, relatives of the author being among those divided in their opinions. Many of those who approve of the book are women.
Heroine a Mulatto
The plot is roughly as follows: In a Mississippi swamp to a white father and a black mother, a childhood her appearance and instincts are almost white. At 14 her Negro anget gets her drunk, sells her to a white swimmer for $30 for the night. She goes to a car to sell her as a virgin to a white river trader for $30, horsewives her from home. She boards the shanty boat of one Cliff Dale, young white man from the North who took to the swamp temporary from a southern in-failed.
For five years through Preciouse's "beauty days," they live and love in the swamp, mingling with Nerropes and "low down" girls. The girls Negro blood is fired when once in Cliff's absence a "buck nigger" beats her to submission. Alone in the shanty boat, she bears a baby, drowns it bifurcated, infiltrates, and then nurtures her relations with Cliff. The baby was white. Her body becomes a battle ground between her white and black blood. The black gradually precomminates. Cliff, catching infiltrated leaves, leaves the swamp. On the theory that a Negro never commits suicide, Preciouse drowns herself to prove she is more white than black. Drawn back into the swamp by love of the girl, Preciouse shoots himself to death on her
Book Sales High
Book-sellers report many sales of the book, but declare that because of its nature they are not a book. One critic has said, "It is a book that one does not know exactly how or where to place, but it is book that will make history." Historic old southern woman declared: "I happened to know of a very sad case where one of our nicest young men did kill himself and a mulatto girl. Perhans Mr. Well had the case in mind when he wrote the book. The author, who is 40, was born in Mississippi of good white stock on edges of the swan country and is said of conditions to be accurate.

BLACK-WHITE DANCES
COMMON IN PARIS
Folies-Bergere Act which Panicked Americans, Still Goes On.
OTHER ACTS RECALLED Benglia, Senegalese Star, Wore Only Fig Leaf.
PARIS.-In spite of the reported disturbance at the Folies-Bergere by some Americans over the dancing of Fera Bengela, Senegalese, and the blond Kitty Mara, the act still goes on.
Indeed the dancing of a white woman and Negro is so common place in Europe, and in Paris especially, that it has ceased to be a novel. Some years ago a writer in the New York Herald (Paris edition) advised Americans to preserve their tempers as such acts sometimes had been put on especially to shock them. In Europe colored and white dance everywhere.
In 1925 at the Polies-Bergere there was an act in which the bodily contact between a white woman and a Senegalese was much greater. The present act began in 1925 at the Polies again. Bengal and his white partner danced and held hands "" the close of the dance, receiving much applause. Bengal wore only a cloth while Kitty Marion covered it "out the hips and chest.
Were Only Fig Leaf
But in 1625 the white woman with whom Bengala, the noted Senesalese actor danced, was nude except for what is known as a cache-sex, that is a tiny fire-leaf. Moreover she sat on his knee and stretched his body all over the same act, and this same act also coiled black Negrees and a like number of white women similarly undressed. At present at the Folles-Bergere is another act showing a subterranean cavern, arranged by a mirror, with a larger number of nude white women moving around with a single Negro moving about with them. Still another act shows a number of actors wearing Negro who are supposed to be Negrees in Negrees in Bengala, who is of superb physique and is a splendid dancer, received much applause.

Had Previous Act
Ernest Hogan, celebrated comedian of the earlier days of the theatre, wrote the song, "All Coons Look Alike to Me," and despite the popularity of the number, regretted it the rest of his days.
Hogan, so James Weldon Johnson tells in his latest book, "Black Manhattan" (Alfred A. Knopf), died before he reached the zenth of his career. Two road shows of his, "Rutus Rastus" and "The Oyster Man" while attracting some attention, were only of secondary merit. "All Coons Look Alike to Me," the Hogan composition, had a beautiful song as many who will recall the song will attest, and while the words were quite incoious the title became a byword and an epithet of derision, and Hogan never forget it.
MANY SONGS WRITTEN
There were many other song writers of Hogan's era, whose names have gone down in musical history. For Mr. Johnson tells us: "I single hit, with a title that became a catch phrase, was Al Johns, who wrote "Go Way Back and Sil Down." He wrote a number of other songs, some of which he wrote "Go Wrong Morning Carrier," a song with a melody that sang itself. "PLEASE GO WAY." "PLEASE GO WAY." Tim McCormick, wrote "Please Go Way and Let Me Sleep" and "Josephine. My Jo. Sheppard Edmonds wrote "I'm Going to Live Anyhow Until I Die." Will McCormick sang "Dora Dean." "Why Don't You Get a Lady of Your Own." "I Don't Like No Cheap Man." "When It's All Gon' Out and Nothin' In" and other songs besides.
The Cole and Johnson combination, through their collaboration on Broadway musical plays, among them were: "Under the Bamboo Tree," "The Congo Love Song," "The Malden with the Dreamy Eyes," Nobody's Moon, "Lazy Moon," "My Castle on the Nile," "The Gve Troubles of My Own," "Tell Me, Dusky Maiden," "I Must Have Been Attending," and "O Didn't He Ramble?"
HOGAN SAVED FROM-MOB.
Ernest Hogan was playing at the Square New York, on August 15, 1900, when the great New York race riot burst in full fury. During the height of the rioting the cry went home and Walker and Cole and Johnson, "the only individual names with which the crowd was familiar. Hogan for safety's sake, was kept among the crowd. It was one of his narrow escapes.

Blake's New Song
Our old friend, Eubie Blake, an East Baltimore boy who went forth and made good on Broadway, has just finished another successful composition which is to be featured in the latest edition of Leslie's "Blackbirds." The song I am told is called "You're Lucky to Me." Mr. Blake in addition to his wonderful gift as a pianist, is bountifully endowed with creative ability. He has a splendid melodic sense and he also has a keen sense of harmonic vitality. His composition was equally technically pleasing and are set to rhythmic patterns that are modern without being barbaric.
Piano School Favored
The idea of the establishment of a piano school here in Baltimore, hard met with a hearty response on the part of a number of local musicians who have not known of the much-needed process, but have stated their willingness to actively co-operate in a large way with the proposed plan.

CHAKA, Zulu monarch, is not a pleasant figure to contemplate. If but a half of what is said of him is true, he was the world's greatest despot. None of the world's great conquerors was so hard and unfeeling as he. With the heart of a tiger he combined the military skill of a Caesar or a Napoleon, the organizing genius of Alexander the Great, the stern discipline of Lycurgus, and the destructive force of an Attila.
These are all seeming exaggerations but, wait until you hear his story. "Chaka," says Rider Haggard, great English writer, "was the first Zulu king, and one of the most remarkant men that ever filled a throne since the days of the Pharaohs. The invincible armies of this African Attila had swept north and south east and west, and slaughtered more than a million human beings. Wherever his warriors were, the blood of men, and children was poured out without stay or stint. But he relied like a visible Death, the presiding genius or a saturnalia of laughter."
Suffered only One Defeat
Some historians call him "the Black Napoleon." This is as ridiculous as calling Napoleon, "the White Chaka." It is true that Chaka began to rule the year after Napoleon was defeated at Watercirk, but the men used different tactics, fought with different weapons, and finally different enemies. Napoleon won his victories by cannon; Chaka, by hand-to-hand conflict. Rifles he had none.
Besides, while Napoleon was beaten several times, Chaka suffered a minor defeat but once. Napoleon finally overcome by a formation of enemies; Chaka so thoroughly destroyed his foes that there was none left to attack him.
Chaka was born in 1786, the illegitim, son of Benzangakona, Zulu chief, and his near relation, Nandi. Luckily for Benzangakona, he was chief; such an affair with a kindred war: punishable with death.
As a boy, Chaka was wild, wayward, and headstrong. He quarreled with everybody save his mother. To make matters worse, the children of the Langen, his mother's tribe, used to tease him about his family and his shrewdness, phellus and his hands that they would pour hot potion into his hand, or force hot collops down his throat. Late, they were to regret it very much.
Mother a "Masculine" Woman
When he got old enough to wear a loin-cloth he was taken to his father, but it was not long before the two quarreled. One day he set his dog on his father's fat-tailed dog and Senzangakona drove him from the trine.
His mother, who was also a quarrelsome and masculine woman, and had often to be corrected by husband, took him to his grandfather. It was not long before the latter also lost his patience and turned the two adrift.
They next took refuge with Ngendeyana, chief of the Mbediwini tribe, for whom Nandi also had a child, but at the protest of Chaka's father, the two were again driven away.
At last, the parents found refuge at Mbetu, whose headman, Ngomane, treated them kindly. Chaka never forgot this, and later raised Ngomane to the highest power, next to himself. Ngomane, and his mother are said to be the only two beings that he ever loved.
Seven years later Chaka was taken into the service of the Mitetwa chief, the celebrated Dingiswaay, as a common soldier. But soon there was not another in the ranks but one of the oldest men in the army—being well six feet in height—but he excelled all in strength and daring. With his broad shoulders, slim waist, and muscles of iron, no rival stood the least chance with him. The two hardest men in the army would be seated and he would defeat both whether at wrestling or with the war-club.
Subdued Giant Mad-man
He was also the best and most graceful dancer. Insupressured at doing all that primitive men admired, he became the idol of the tribe.
His pride was his physical strength, and even in later years he scorned the use of a horse or of bearers, preening that of his brawny legs.
Oh, he was also the man who saved a giant mad-man who would attack pass-by, --bobbin and killing them. To increase his strength this man would smoke hemp. Chaka claimed the honor of attacking the robber single-handed after he had capture him.
The robber, seeing Chaka, came dashing at him, and soon the two were locked in mortal combat, but Chaka finally caught his assesge through the mad-man's chest and left him dead.

Hated Married Men
When Chaka made himself chief, the Zulu were an insignificant tribe, owning less than one hundred square miles of land. But secretly Chaka had decided to make himself ruler of all the blacks.
He began with the material at hand. Taking all the married men of the tribe between the ages of thirty and forty, he built a separate kraal for them, which he called, Belebe, meaning, the Everlasting Pest. This place he put in charge of one of his aunts, an old virago. Chaka hated married men.
Next he took all the boys between seventeen and twenty, and informed them that hencefore they were to be bachelors.
These boys he now subjected to the anger and discipline until they were hardened. To inspire them with his own fearlessness he once set on a nest of hornets, scooped out the angry insects, and then beat them off without rising. He created about him an atmosphere that was for strong men only.
His next step was to revolutionize existing military tactics. It is claim that he got this idea from white men. Perhaps, but it seems to have evolved out of his own courage. At that time the African warriors, when they met in battle, would throw their spears and then retreat or advance according to the effect on the enemy.
This was too cowardly a method, Chaka decided. Throwing all the spears on the scrap-heap, he had the native blacksmiths forge long swords with short hafts. This weapon could not be thrown. It could be used only at close quarters.
To protect the warrior he gave him a shield of toughened cow-hide almost his own height.
Killed His Relatives
He also changed the battle formation, which he now patterned after a bull's horns. In the centre were the main body and the reinforcements, on both sides were two living horns, curving out and forward, which enclosed the enemy.
With his army now ready, Chaka was ripe for action. To make sure that no one would try to usurp his place when he left on an expedition, he caught all his half-brothers, uncles, aunts, and other relatives, and saw them safely in six feet of earth. Next he decided to settle with the Langeni who had been so cruel to him as a boy.
Invading their territory, he called the whole tribe before him, picked out those against whom he had a grudge, had them all impaled on sharp stakes, set the stakes on fire, and left them to die in slow agony.
This done, Chaka decided to settle with Pangashe, chief of the Butelizi, who had been calling him names. Pangashe had two warriors to his one, but Chaka went after him.
The two armies met, the women of both tribes looking on. The Butelizi.
confident of v' tory, threw their spears, but what was their astonishment when they saw Chaka's warriors, after catching the weapons on their shields, charge down on them with blood-curdling yells. The struggle was short and swift, and soon the Butellzi were in headlong flight.
Leaves Enemy to Torturing Death
After having wiped out several other smaller tribes, he decided to attack Matwane, chief of the Ngwane-mi, who had the reputation of being a formidable warrior. Matwane was in the habit of drinking the gall from the liver of the chiefs he overcame in the belief that he thereby added to his own courage and ferocity. But when he heard that Chaka was coming to attack him, he marched off calmly himself with Zwide, king on the Ndwandwe, whose territory lay across the Drakesburg mountains.
Cut out Heart for Charm
Now next to Dingiswayo, Zwide was the most powerful king of South Africa. Zwide thirsted for supreme power, and with the aid of Matwane he descended on Dingiswayo. Instead of attacking him openly, however, he decided on a ruse, and the aid of Dingiswayo's relatives, motioning Dingiswayo into a hut, chopped off his head. Taking Dingiswayo's heart, liver, and other parts of his body, Zwide bolted them for the fat, which he used as a charm.
Hearing of the disaster of his former patron, Chaka went over to his tribe, challenged the chief who had taken Dingiswayo's place, killing him, and annexed the Metwai kingdom.
Zwide now prepared to attack Chaka, and the latter got ready to give him a warm reception. As a precautionary measure, Chaka in a meanwhile, attacked the powerful Ngwane kingdom, massacring some 300,000 of them. While in this region, he thirsted for good measure the Tembas. He was afraid that they also might join with Zwide.
Zwide, on the march, induced many other chiefs to join him against the common foe. When they finally met on the banks of the Mhlutze River, Zwide had the superior army. Both armies fought until the river ran red, and the corpses were piled high. Then Zwide withdrew.
Unmarried Girls Quarantined
Chaka, in the meanwhile, found time to perfect the organization of his army and his kingdom. First, he realized that the standard of physical fitness he desired could be had only by curbing the relations between the sexes. He ordered all the unmarried girls of the country, when they arrived at a certain age, to be placed in great enclosures, ten feet high, where they were reared under: the strictest supervision. Death was the penalty to any male caught within.
At the age of thirteen every had him prisoner, and a few days later was drafted into military service, where he was subjected to the most rigid discipline and training. At seventeen he marched in review before the king and was assigned to a regiment. None of these young men allowed to speak to a girl. Theirustness, Chaka made them understand, was war, not love.
Later, of all of a certain class, no one were married to the girls of a certain class. These men could marry none other. Only warriors
The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, August 16, 1930
who distinguished themselves in some extraordinary way in battle were permitted to marry the woman of their choice. Marriage took place between 35 and 40 years for the men. Divorce was forbidden. Adulters were headling from a cliff into the Umvelos River to be devoured by crocodiles. As to circumcision, he also forbade that. The interests of the nation came first and foremost. The right of the individual, so far as it existed, was subordinate.
Practiced Sexual Continence
Chaka instituted cooking reforms, and saw that his warriors were fed on the best; he also improved the quality of the beer.
On himself he also imposed the same hard rules. He practiced the maximum of sexual abstinence, and never took a wife. He wanted no children, and once when a son was presented to him as being his own, he killed him with one blow of his fist, and sent the mother to her death.
Once when Isaacs, an Englishman, visited him and told him of George the Third's advanced age, and the fact that the English king and queen had been his people. "You see King George is like me. He does not indulge in promiscuous intercourse with women. That accounts for his long life."
His whole being was concentrated on supremacy. Hard himself, he imposed that hardness on others. The warrior who showed the slightest fear in battle was doomed. After each battle, Chaka would hold a grand parade, and as the warriors marched by he would call out all those of whom he had not had a good report. These would be stabbed to death on the spot. It meant certain death for a beaten regiment to return. Chaka's motto was "Victory or Death." There was but one way for a Zulu soldier to march, he told them, and that was forward. The families of disgrassed soldiers were also put to death with them. At times they would loose a weapon, the warriors and they had to kill him with bare hands. Chaka was relentless. Perhaps no great warrior before him was so stern. The Greeks might well have used him or the god of war.

In 1820, four years after he had started and at the age of thirty-four, he had conquered territory larger than France. To protect it from invasion he ringed it with desert and invitation.
"King George and I," he would say to his white visitors, "are brothers. I have conquered all the blacks, and he has conquered all the whites."
When he stepped on the parade field, a Herculean figure, his stalwart black limbs and elastic stride reflecting the acme of physical perfection, his warriors would salute him with "Bayede," the equivalent of "Hail Caesar!" He would chant:
They would claim,
"Thou nast scattered all the nations."
What remains now for thy forces to fight?
Oh, what remains now for thy forces to fight?
And right here was to be Chaka's problem. He had a magnificent army eager for battle, and no one to fight.
To get rid of his warriors he encouraged the regiments to kill one another.
Heads Chopped off for Fun

THE CONCLUDING CHAPTER
THE IDEALIST WINS
"Aim' no bum," slobbered Baxter, derine at Ver. "Ask Verv. 'Ididn't bring her utta slickskis. Ashk Verna. He! He! He! She knows ill ...'t ole houshe in Kalesburg. 'He!"
"Go on! Get away from here," said Wendell again, pushing Baxter from the table.
The drunken man, resenting Dalton's interference, swung wildly at him with his list. Wendell stepped lightly aside and quick as a flash struck Baxter on the arm, and crumpled in a hind, the floor. Then turning to the others he said in a hard, disillusioned tone, "Let's get out of this."
They drove down to the Village in a taxicab. Not a word was exchanged between them. At Marsh's door, he opened the door and helped he out. "T'll be down for you tomorrow to the same time, Verna," he said simply, "and we'll do some more practice."
His tone spoke volumes that he did not say. Gone was the softness that had crept into it at the dinner table. Once more he was the polite, impersonal Wendell Dalton, minus the minute, minus the noise, in his eyes and noted in his voice earlier in the evening. It alarmed her; terrified her!
The Misunderstanding
"O Wendell," she protested, "please don't believe a word that he said this evening. Oh. it was terrible. I'm not at all what Baxter intimated. You don't understand. I want to explain it all to you. I must explain it to you so you go away thinking everything but the truth."
"No explanation is necessary, Verna," he said quietly, "nor solicited."
"Oh you do believe the worst!" she sobbed passionately, as she felt the only man she had ever loved slipping from her grasp, "but I'm going to prove to you that you're 70 years."
"As I said," he remarked in reply, "that isn't necessary. I'm not at all interested in your personal affairs. I never see you." He said, "I'm not a detective, you know. Well, Good Night, old dear; same time tomorrow."
He stepped back into the cab, give the chauffeur an address and with a singing of gears the car swept up the narrow Greenwich Village street, Verna stood at her doorstep, helpless, stunned. Finally she dragged herself up to her room and lay wearily across the bed and sobbed as she had never done before. The agent exclaimed the next morning over their grapefruit. "What in the world is the matter? You look haggard. Has something happened, dear?" She leaned across the table placed her perfectly manicured pink hand affectionately on the smooth brown one of the colored girl and gazed searchingly into her big, black eyes.
him in the arm. For this thousands were put to death. Even his pet monkey became an object of dread, Ngomane, the only one to whom he would listen, besides his mother, tried his best to save the slaughter and interceded for the victims.
When his mother died, some 7000 persons were put to death. Chaka wept, and all whose eyes were dry, or who did not come to the royal city to mourn, were killed.
Fifteen of the most beautiful virgins were buried alive, with her, and 15,000 cattle slaughtered as a sacrifice. Chaka ordered a year of mourning, during which all recreation was forbidden.
Stabbed to Death, Bod; Left to Vultures
After nine years of this unbridled tyranny, his people grew more tired or him than ever. One day while he was sitting in his palace, before the fire talking with some chiefs, two of his half-brothers, Dingaan and Mahlangana, aided by a domestic, named Satam, crept upon him and stabbed him until life had fled.
His dying words were: "What have I done to you; Oh, children of my father?"
His body was dragged out and thrown into a corn-pit. So sickened were his people of him that they left it there to be en by vultures, and those of Dessalines.
Ohaka reminds one of Dessalines,
trvant, and librator of Haiti.
James Shurt, Assistant Secretary of Native African Affairs in South Africa, writing of Chaka, said: "In his own unenviable career of unbridled ferocity, celerity, and cunning, he stands alone and unrivalled; whilst among barbarians in strategy, tactics, and executive capacity he is again probably without a peer. He in short, seems to have turned a page, abet a dark one, that no mortal, yellow, white, brown, or black has ever before managed quite to turn. In that sense he is, I should say, at the head of all other despots. He shows that an able man in power can accomplish, once his passions and ambitions have free play and opportunity serves." Chaka, as was said, is no pleasant figure to contemplate. However, as long as the soldier and the conqueror are worshipped, his place in history is secure. Today the South African
Besides, he did some good for his people. By organizing them he made it much more difficult for the wha man to seize their land. Moreover, his legacy of physical training gave the Zulu the finest physique in the world. Years later, when the English wanted to conquer the Zulus, one of their demands from the great Cetewayo was that the Zulu youths should be permitted to marry. Chaka was the destructive force of earthquakes or a cyclone imprisoned in the soul of a single man. Before such a character one can stand but in amazement and awe,
A
When they were alone the two young people stared awkwardly at each other.
Now slightly reddened from weeping, Verna looked up into the earnest face of her dear friend and benefactor, and then the floodgates opened and she wept long and violently, while the older woman sought to console her.
Finally, when she had composed herself, she told Margot all that had himself the night before and revealed how she felt toward Wendell Dalton and how he had suddenly lost interest and grown cold after the unfortunate incident at Small's.
"Now listen here, Verna," advised Margot. "Pull yourself together, and for God's sake don't let him see that you have been suffering. Be proud. Pretend that the events of last evening meant very little to you. Wendell Dalton is a proud man, and proud man do not like to see you alone. If you have really cared for anything else, he'll finally come around. Please, Verna, pull yourself together."
really been fine to me, but I couldn't think of marrying you. Let's talk of something else!
"But I don't want to talk of anything else. Verna; I want to talk of love. Love under the moon! Love beside the Hudson! Love with a brown goddess!
"Don't see this is an impossible situation," she said with some aside. "We can't go on with this. Already people are saying things and I don't like it. I have a reputation to maintain, Ferdie. People see us together and you know what that assume right away. I cannot stand it, I tell you. I've been as nice as a could, but it is impossible for us to get married."
"Why, eeset empossible?" he insisted.
"Well, if you must know," she replied, "in the first place I do love you. I admire and respect you as a liberal, cultured man, but I do."
Verna in Suspense
"Oh, it's easy enough to say, Margot, but pretty hard to do. You know I always been so hardbolled where men are concerned; never would give any of them any encouragement or anything. I was just interested in getting ahead and amounting to something on my own hook instead of being the shadow for a husband. But now I really love for the first time, and I don't want to lose him. I cannot lose him. I must not lose him, I tell you."
"Now, now," soothed Margot, "keep calm. I know just how you feel, Verna, but you must contain yourself. But you much more about men you do; and I know that it's bad policy to let them know that you care as much as you do for them."
Verna pealed three hours that morning for Margot, and then shortly after noon, the musical horn of Wendell's readster sounded, and with sinking heart she ran down the steps. How he ac: 'What would you say? A thousand and one thoughts coursed through her mind as she went to meet him.
He was just the same as she had always known him and showed not the slightest hint of being concerned about the events of the evening before. Going up town he drove along Riverside Drive, instead of through Central Park, thence down the Harlem Speedway to "Sugar Hill." He talked more than she had even known him to do before and she began to tell her about something. But she remembered what Margot had told her and did not wander from the commonplace in her conversation.
At the apartment-studio they went through the procedure of the previous day until around six o'clock when they again had dinner served by Wendell's butler. She had never known him to be so brilliant. He talked about Francois Villon, the technique of Swinburne, the genius of Leonardo Vinci, the inventor of Francis. He recited verses from Klipling and passage after passage from Walt Whitman and Byron; but he meticulously avoided any reference to the subject that was uppermost in her mind: Love.
And so it continued every afternoon for the month that they practiced together. Very subtly Verma used all of her harms upon the three cultured composer, but without As she saw the music, she three before the time set for the recital in Carnegie Hall, she was at her wit's end.
Count Raalbonne Insistent
To complicate matters, Count Ferdinand de Raalbonne was pressing his suit as never before, insisting that she give him some consideration; that she marry him. As they sat in his car on Riverside Drive one evening after dinner, looking out across the broad waters of the Hudson River at the twinkling lights on the New Jersey shore, : asked her again for her hand.
"Verna," he whispered, leaping his saloon, distinguished face toward hers, "why do you avoid me! I Ave not been a, what you call, goo! frien! Ave I nve not a lady at all times? Ave I not a lay my heart at your feet? Ah, Verna, you do not love how I love you, how I worship you! Why do you spurn me? I have money, wealth, position, ever-ything!

really been fine to me, but I couldn't think of marrying you. You talk of something else!" "But I don't want to talk of anything else. Verna; I want to talk of love. Love under the moon! Love beside the Hudson! Love with a brown goddess!" "Don't you see this is an impossible situation?" she said with some asperity "We can't go on with this. Already we have things and I can't like it. I have a reputation to maintain, Ferdie. People see us together and you know what th-y assume right away. I cannot stand it, I tell you. I've been as nice as I could, but it is impossible for us to get married." "Why, ees eet eempossible?" he insisted.
"Well, if you must know," she replied, in the first place I do not love you. I admire and respect you as a fine, liberal, cultured man, but I do not love you. And I couldn't think of marrying you unless I loved you. Then, secondly, my dear Ferdie, my marriage would be bound be a tragic one.
"That ees nonsense!" he spat disgustedly. "I've no prejudice. I love and admire the black peoples. I ask you to be my wife because of your beauty, your charm, your delightfulness. Besides, Verna, we live in Paris; in La Belle France, where we can be happy. We won't work, 'erdle. Let's not mention it again. Take me home!" They drove back in silence. Verna was depressed and Count de Raalhonne was sullen and aggrieved.
"Yell," said Verna to Margot, when she walked into the house a few minutes later, "that's off my mind. I had to refuse the good Count and it was really an ordeal. He is such a swell fellow, but I couldn't see myself tied up to an ofay, especially when I didn't love him."
"You people amuse me," said Margot, laughing. "You protest so much against prejudice and yet when it comes to a showdown you are sometimes more prejudiced than other people. Of course I would not want you to marry the Count unless you loved him, although I admit that it is a wonderful catch, but you cannot never let such things as color stand in the way of love. Nothing, Verna, should stand in the way of true love." But Margot, you know I am wild about Wendell. Verna appealed. "Certainly, I know it," Margot replied, "but he doesn't seem to be so keen on you."
Verna was silent, for she knew that Margot had told the truth. For a month now Wendell had been just a polite, courteous, delightful friend. Nothing more. It galled her, choked her to think of it. Here she was giving up Count Ferdinand de Raulbonne, one of the really big catches of New York City, a man that many r. white girls would be willing to pay millions for the privilege of sharing his title: giving him up for a man that had never breathed a word of love into her waiting ear.
How curious was life! What jests and strange ironies it played upon us. Perhaps that was what made it interesting.
I inevitably the night of the recital arrived. In the newspapers Verna's name appeared in large type and there was considerable speculation among musicians, vocalists and critics as to her performance and the reception she would receive. It was entirely something new for such a young girl, particularly a young colored girl, to be giving a recital in the famous Carnegie Hall. Would she fall or would she succeed?
In her dressing room Verna paced back and forth, her nerves on edge, trying to steady herself for the ordeal. It seemed that her heart would burst out of her bosom. it pounded so.
At the Recital
After what seemed to be an eternity, Wendell came in looking more handsome than ever in his formal evening clothes. How tall and distinguished he looked! Perfectly tailored, smooth, black, virile
"Oh, how beautiful you are this evening," he exclaimed in admiration, surveying her purple ensemble and taking her by both hands. "You are sweeter than I have ever seen you, Vernal."
He spoke with such sincere earnestness and respect that her heart skipped a heat. Did he care after all?
Margot Discuses Love
At the Recital

Did he perhaps love her just a little bit? At least his eyes gave some indication of it, and she was suddenly raised from the depths of despair to the summits of delight. Now she felt that she could go out there and sing to a million people as she had never sung before. She could go and sing to the whole world!
"Do you think so?" she replied simply, hiding her emotion.
"No. I don't think so," he grinned like a young boy on mischief bent, "I know it."
Together they walked out on the stage to be greeted by deafening applause. Verna looked out and up and for a moment she quailed. There sat upon bank, row upon row of white tiles, and she up to the rafters of the giant auditorium. How would she be able to sing to all of those people?
"All ready!" Wendell whispered softly, and touching the keys lightly played the opening bars o. "The Ethiopian Love Song."
Verna sang mildly with the throb of her colorful race in her voice. She was blind to the audience, blind to everything in the world, but Worrell Dalton. She was singing solely and exclusively to him. There was that in her voice that conveyed to the vast concourse of people the love that was welling up within her. They sat transfixed. When she finished the song, the applause was far more deafening and prolonged than anything she had ever heard before. You were wonderful! Wendell met to whisper, piercing her heart around with his glance. Selection after selection she sang, her marvelous, the like most corns penetrating to the farlike most corners of the vast hall.
Donald Baxter Explains
Finally it was over, the encores I had been sung, and the stage was heaped with great wreaths and baskets of flowers. In her dressing room afterwards, all of her friends gathered around to do her honor. Fred Watkins, Rondoski, Prof. Waldemar Kauffort, Bonnfort, de la Roanne, Augustine de Silva, Myrte von Bisson, Clare Fancher, Margot and Wendell, all were there felicitating her, pressing her hand, kissing her, wishing her well, enthusiastic at her great triumph. The door opened and another man came in. It was Donald Baxter, faultlessly dressed, as suave and sardonic as usual. He was a stranger to all of these people. His world was a different one from thes. The assemblage, and left, begging pardon for his intrusion and walked straight up to Wendell Dalton.
"Pardon me, old man," he said, extending his hand, "but I want to make amends for what I said and did the other night. I was drunk, as you know, and seeing Verna, gain probably put me off my nut. Listening to Verna, not knowing there was not a word of truth in what I said, Verna is the finest, proud girl I’ve ever met, and as far as I know, hasn’t the slightest stain on her character. I would be less than a man if I didn’t say so." "Verna,” turning to her, “I have wronged you, and while I cannot expect you to forget, I have come to beg your forgiveness. I’ll never cross your path again, my dear girl. We don’t belong in the same class. You’re pure world crook. And yet, I really and truly loved you Verna, and I want you always to know it."
With that he reached down and grasped her hand, lifted it, kissed it firmly, and, bowing low to the astonished assemblage, turned and strode out of the door, closing it behind him.
No one else had spoken a word. Wendell looked at Verna as she had always hoped he might some day look at her. Margot took in the situation at a glance.
"Come on, folks," she drawled, "let's be going!" The rest trooped out behind her, Count de Raalbonne and Prot. Komfort looking back wily fully.
Then they were alone, the two young people stared awkwardly at each other for a moment and then Verna lowered her gaze and her cheeks burned.
Her Goal at Last
"Verna," said Wendell softly, placing both hands on her shoulders. "I've been a damned fool. I should have known that man Baxter was lying that night. I should have known but like a fool, I permitted myself to grow cynical and disillusioned. To think that I should have ever doubted that you are the finest, most beautiful woman in the world! "Verna, dear," he continued, more softly, "I have been tortured because, well, you are my ideal and one hates to see one's admired smashed to smithereens.

Feminine Silhouette and Short Skirts Feature Fall Fashions
But Frills and Flouances in Ankle Lengths will Still Grace Formal Frocks, is Prediction of Sallie's Dress Stylist.
By Bobhe.
HUBBY FETED FRIENDS; PROVIDENT BREAKS
SIX KIDDIES HUNGRY OWN HIGH RECORD
Being still scorched and seared by summer's blistering s.n. you would think that one's only concern would be the nearest route to a beach or the shortest trail to the mountains, but the fact is, we are suddenly confronted with the assembling of a fall wardrobe, and though the thermometer runs high and higher, we must begin peeping and peering into the shops.
With the AFROS usual foresight in providing its readers with news while it really is news, the reporter is always what he's Dress Shoppe sees on the fashion lines, for who could tell us what's up fashion's sleeve if not Madam Logan?
Now here is what that distinctive stylist thinks: Following a summer of bare legs, bare arms and backless bathing regalia, you might think that Dame Fashion would offer at least a temporary armistice in the form of a restful September, but that volatile lady doesn't know what rest means, for when we are just getting accustomed to the caress of skirts around our ankles, up they go. And Miss Sallie predicts three inches below the knee for absolutely everything except purely formal evening attire.
Suit Yourself
And the fall also holds out promise for the most interesting suits. Tweeds of course, but no more lares. Pleats if you please. And to show what can happen when time lapses heavy on the hands of style creators, the blacks and browns (as far as colors are concerned) will have it for the fall.
Swcater or Blouse
There is a newcomer in blouse circles—the lingerie shirt blouse. Though cut blouse-like in tuck-in styles, with jabot effects, etc., it is in materials exactly like sweaters.
After Prints—What?
The frost is sure to kill off most of

The shine that has been attracting attention to silk hose is quite demode, but the shine that has been attracting attention is the smart thing. Really, stockings are becoming quite inconspicuous even in color. Dark brown and off-white cotton favorites are to the foreground.

There is no place where they will reside one-piece affair in tafetta that resembles a bountiful evening frock. At the natural waistline wide panes covering the trousers are held by daisy shirring. The effect is that the trousers are just as beautiful. To further the evening emphasis, a corsage of velvet flowers nose at the waistline on the left.
There are ever and ever so many interesting things that we will get to as the space is allowed us, but really most of us must just wear a garter on a fashion news, especially when the authoritative proprietor returns from her New York shopping tour next week.
And think, this is just one shop, that the AFRO keeps tab on for its readers, but there are others to follow, and there are many enterprises in whose lines Madam and Madamoselle are interested.

First Hubby, who was Deserted, Brings Spouse a Chicken Dinner.
Are first marriages always the best? Evidence to support this contention was brought to hear in the Northwestern District Police Station, Friday, when Charles Carter, 921 Shields Place, first husband of Mrs. Catherine Peguer, made a desperate effort to save her from conviction on a bigamy charge, while her second mate, Clement Peguer, 292 N. Glimor Street, later shut down. After the hearing, in which the young woman was committed for the action of the grand jury for marrying Peguer, while still the legal spouse of Carter, the latter who was deserted by his mate, brought her a large tray of fried chicken, crabs and other choice viands which were served in the ceil while the frantically seeking husband. The company husband left the station in company with the group of witnesses who had testified against her.
Had Altercation
Testimony showed that the young woman deserted her first husband several months after their marriage, and went to live with her relatives. Shortly before her death, she was an ardent wooer and captured her heart. When he begged her to marry him, she consented and without hesitation, went through with the second ceremony. The couple lived together for two years, August 1st, when Carter and Peguer met at the woman's home and engaged in an alteration. During the course of the argument, it was discovered that both were married to her. Whether one or the other of the husbands or witnesses of the disturbance that ended in the revelation notified the police, is not known. The woman was the torrey Roy S. Bond, refused to testify. After her release, she went to the home of relatives at 1500 McCullough Street, pending a grand jury hearing.
ASK POLICE TO HELP FIND DAUGHTER

Early Friday, the father reappeared and marked Baltimore, declaring that she had secured a job and was going to Atlantic City with her employers. The girl is described as being three feet tall, ten pounds, light brown skin, with freckles across her nose. She has coarse black bobbed hair, her front upper teeth are widely separated.

Police Seek Victims of Fake Salesman
Police of the Central District are trying to identify the large number of persons who are said to have been fleeced out of sums ranging from 30, 200 to 40, 200 block of High Street, who is being held on charges of false representation with intent to defraud.
The man was arrested by detectives after police had received evidence that he was who declared that he was from a clothing company in Green Beach, Va., and using a certified sample case, was fleecing persons out of money on pretext of selling them wearing apparel. The names of five persons whom he is alleged to have fleeced, while others who are believed to have fallen prey to the man, is being sought.
MAN TURNED IN FALSE ALAMES
Police are hunting the unidentified man who turned in two false alarms in the same neighborhood, a half-hour apart. Saturday, the man, of whom police have a description, was arrested from boxes at Sidney and Clare Avenues and Light and Cross Streets.
A shot, a groan and scurrying feet attracted neighbors to the third story-room of the house at 614 W. Conway Street, Street, Sunday, where they found Arthur King, the alias Danny, lying on the floor in a semi-conscious condition with a bullet wound through his heart.
In a whispering tone the mortally wounded man declared, "Nannie White shot me!" He was taken to the hospital, Hotel, where physicians pronounced him dead from a gunshot wound through the heart, causing internal hemorrhages. Police who were summoned to the scene began a search for the young woman who was accused by the man in his dying statement.
No trace of the girl was found. The gun that had inflicted the wound was gone. In the pocket of the dead man was found an unfired revolver.
Attends Funeral
The girl who made good her escape, was betrayed by her own curiosity when she could not resist the tempter of the funeral of the man she had murdered.
Had to Kill Him
"I had to kill him," wailed the girl when she was taken into custody at the Western Police Station. "I could not let him live and ruin the only bit of happiness I ever had."
"You see, we were once sweethearts and two years ago we parted. Since then, we have been loving, love my husband more than anything else in the world. Danny would not let me alone. He hung around, and I was always there. I loved me the streets. He wrote me letters and cards, all intended to break me up with my husband. With these things going on I could not make sense of what I believe that the between Danny and I was over. I was desperate."
Shows Post Card
"Recently," the girl continued. "I received a postal card. I came from Hurick, Md. and was signed by the show. I drew the card from her bag and袋 it to her interrogators who read:
"Hello Nan; I am going to buy a razor and cut your throat, because I know you still smell like a nanny goat—Dunny."
"What," she said, to my husband's cars about Danny and I. No one started them but him. He led to break us up.
"Sunday, I could stand it no longer. I went to see him to settle it better. I went to the store to trick me, but I beat him to it. He had it coming to him."
"What became of the gun you used?" the officers demanded. "How did you carry it away?" The girl's answer was silence.

The class in dramatic literature of Morgan College summer school, Howard M. Gross, instructor, presented a pageant. "The Gifts They Brought," in the natural amphitheatre on Morrison Avenue, before a crowd of visitors.
A stage had been erected with two arches, the first representing "The gate of the many nations," and the second representing "The couple." The pageant began with the sound of a bugle announcing the appearance of "Miss America." Each nation was represented. Those taking part, fifty girls, gifted to an altar. These gifts indicated the contribution of that particular nation to American civilization.
After an attempt in an evil spirit to bestreach the hearts of the countries from the altar of civilization the nations re-entered through the arches to join in an ensemble of dancin';
The folk dances of the several native nations were presented by Ruby Sam. Two solo dances of Hungary were given by Miss Liewell Husketh, directed by Miss Ama Taylor. The pageant close, the grand finale at the entrance of Ursula Sam upon the stage.
The entire affair was directed by H. M. Gross, with music furnished by an amplifying victrola loaned by the history of the National Piano Company. The six weeks' session of the summer school closes Friday, August 8.

35,000 in Demonstration as London Fighter is Declared Victor After 10 Rounds.
KEED'S FIRST DEFEAT
Cuban, Stunned, Weeps Bitterly at 2-1 Ring Verdict.
NEW YORK—(Special) A battle of styles, between Kid Chocolate, the Cuban featherweight, and Jack (Kid) Berg, London lightweight champion, was fought at the Polo Grounds, Thursday night, with the decision going to the latter fighter.
A crowd of 35,000 saw the fight and there were almost as many opinions as to the decision as to the fans. Two officials, Referee Patay Haley and Joe Angelo, one of the judges, voted for Berg, while Charles Mathison, the other judge, voted for Chocolate. The Associated Press score sheet gave Chocolate six rounds, with four going to Berg, while a pool of the rings was filled. Berg, nine for Chocolate, with four believing the decision should have been a draw.
Humphries Non-Plussed
So certain was Joe Humphries veteran announcer, that Chocolate had won the fight, that he started for the Keed's corner, but as he took a second look at the slips in his hand he turned and lifted Berg's hand. For a moment, Chocolate could hardly realize that he had lost. And then the little ring idol who had not taste defeat in 168 encounters, gave vent to his feelings and cried like a hurt child. Disappears were widely divided in their opinions of the fight and there still lingers in the minds of many a doubt as to just how the fight should have been scored. A pulsing roar of disapproval greeted the announcement winner and booed loud and long.
Get $37.034 Each
Publication of the commission voting slips by Secretary Bert Stall showed that Referee Patsy Hale, the referee for the game, and called two even, Judge Joe Agnello, who also voted in favor of Berg, gave the English lad five rounds. Chocolate was given to Charles P. Mathson, who voted for Chocolate, gave the Cuban boxer seven rounds, Berg two and called one even. There were 36,232 about 7,000 in excess of the gross attendance at the Singer-Mandell title

Crowd Disgusted
Jack Farrell, of the New York Daily
News, said of the fight:
"James A. Farley, chairman of the state athletic commission, turned ashen when Joe Humphries pulled the badly injured player up and held his right hand aloft. Farley appeared not surprised or startled, but absolute disgusted. "But no more disgust in my customers, who sat there in the semi-dark and watched a young highly attuned, master box turn in a beautiful performance, spoiled before his very eyes by two plainly incompetent box officials.
Manager Shocked
"When the verdict was announced, there was a dead silence in Chocolate's corner. Senior Luis Gutterze cupped his left hand and hooded that his hearing was a little bad. Then, when he was assured that he had understood correctly, he took on the expression of a guy who had been stuck up in myey and robbed of his watch and roll. "If Borg was that decision, then the whole system of boxing, the whole system of scoring points is wrong and deceased, and immediately. Chocolate, according to the old accepted method, as, laid down by Old Man Queen森, clearly outboxed Berg. He bested him in most of the slugging bees and in one or a punching bag in the final round.
Berg Relentless in Attack
The little colored bay won the first three rounds beyond dispute. In fact, the only rounds that he lost—the fourth and ninth—were sessions in which he decided to rest and relax from the heart-rending strain of trying to beat off a fire. Keed did considerable holding in these rounds, which apparently mitigated against him in the final accounting.
Gives Kid One Round Only
Ed Sullivan, of the N.Y. Graphic
says:
"Outweighed by nine pounds when he entered the ring, Chocolate based all his hopes of victory on the chance to win the championship. But when his brilliant third round offensive failed to shock Berg to the canvas, Chocolate's hopes of victory were as slim as his own weary body. "From the end of the third round to the end of the fourth round, a storm of punches to the Cuban's body, and that relentless barrage took all the strength and steam from Chocolate's agile legs. Berg won eight of the ten rounds. Chocolate won the third, and the first was even, through the fight was hopelessly one-sided, Judge Charles Mathison voted in favor of Chocolate. Just how he arrived at this weird decision is not obvious to this reporter, for he was not the only one of me in the working press section. "Perhaps Mathison confused Chocolate with Amps 'n' Andy."
Runyon Favors Kid
In the opinion of Damon Runyon,
veteran_boxing writer:
"Little Kid Chocolate, the shiny black Cuban ring wonder, lost to Jack Berg of England after ten rounds of desperate battling at the Polo Grounds last night. He was the only unjust decision.
"I thought Chocolate won with something to spare, outboxing and outexuding Berg by a fair margin.
"If he made any mistake, it was holding a punch, but it must be believed that this dark striping was spotting Berg nine pounds on the scales and perhaps more by the time they crawled through the ropes.
"If Berg and Chocolate fought 20 times there would always be a difference of opinion as to the results. They would always put on desperate battle. Berg can't punish but he can take punches and he never backs up and for that reason would lose, he deserves some credit."
Should Have Been Draw
On the other hand, Davis Walsh of the International News Service lighted a night light was a draw. Mr Walsh declares: "If they were calling it for me, it

could have been a draw, with no chance to win. A dead match with disaster doesn't count, except in the morgue.
His First Defeat
"It was Chocolat's first defeat in an amazing run of success through 168 fights and, pound for pound, the better fight lost, even granting that maybe he didn't lose at all.
"The decision qualified Berg for a lightweight title meeting with the new champion, Al Singer, but if it was as close as the writer and many others thought it was, it spoke none too eloquently of Berg's ability. This was no lightweight he was fighting. It was a small featherweight, 124 pounds on the scales at 2 o'clock against Berg's 133½. A 10-round pull in the weights among these whipped ought to be worth a ton among the heavy weights."
Chocolate Superior
Chocolate Abandons Boxing
Chocolate, the marvelous boxing at times to meet the English terror at his own game. The Keed, giving away almost ten pounds of weight to a ullighed lightweight, did a remarkable change at close quarters, but apparently his stamina could not equal that of Berg and he tired badly in the last two rounds.
The infamous Cuban was infinitely superior to the Englishman when he chose to box, tip Jackie off balance and whang him on the chin with straight rights that shot Berg's arm. He was into the British's body, hit by far the cleaner, harder and move effective blows, but in end the eternal aggressiveness, the gameness and perpetual punching of the young Jewish man caught the eyes of the official.

BY FRANK GETTY
NEW YORK—A little red-striped, ten-cent cane from Coney Island, which Kid Chocolate, the Cuban featherweight, carried ever since his first fight in this country, lies broken in three pieces in the coorner of his hotel room.
The disconsolate Keed, heartbroken, grieves and declares that he will never fight again. But Chocolate, for all his sorrow, will come back to whip far more fighters than will lay a slow on him.
Decision Unpopular
Berg won a close decision from the little Cuban, a majority of those at the ringside agreeing that Chocolate should have had a draw, at least. The fight, a two-fisted battle from start to finish, did much to revive the waning confidence of boxing fans and to wipe out the unpleasant memories of recent disgraceful affairs which ended in the ever-doubtful claim of foul. Chocolate, for his pounds about as good a mite of fighting machinery as the prize ring knows today, declares he is through with boxing forever. The arts of the dollar, which to "The Keed" means more new flashy clothes, fancy, footwear and gold watches, will bring him back from Havana after a brief vacation. But Chocolate mite, as will his fetch, was his fetch his token of victory.
Sounds Like Alger Story
Unbeaten He was little little Unbeaten He was 19 years old, had come to believe in that cane as a symbol of success. It was presented to him after he won his first bout in the United States at 385 as his end of the purse. Since that time, the former Havana newsboy has made more than a quarter of a million dollars. Chocolate will come back and whip his opponent up in chance. He thought he beat Berg Thursday night. So did many of the rest of us.

Ellwood Defeats Dr. Goff to Win Singles Title by 7-5, 6-2, 6-1 Scores.
WIN DOUBLES CROWN
Mrs. Rosalie Evans is Champion Among Women
INSTITUTE, WYA—The annual West Virginia Open tennis championship, which has previously been held at Bluedfield, ended at the West Virginia State College with all honors in the men's play going to the Dawings of Roanoke, Virginia.
Ellwood Downing defeated M. Fell in the men's singles, 7-5, 2-1 and 6-1. Teamed with his brother, L.C. Downing, the champion added more laurels by winning the men's doubles title.
The women's singles title was won by Mrs. Rosaleia Evans, local star, and the mixed doubles title was won by Goode and Evans. The quarter final of the men's singles found Ellwood Downing, West Virginia, and North Carolina star. Downing's forehand was superior to Westberland's back and net game, and Downing defended him in straight sets.
The other players in the quarter finals were Byrd Davis, member of the varsity team team, West Virginia, coach of Bluefield; Dr. Goff, Southeastern champion; B. L. Goode, local star; Tomas Posey, local star; and L. C. Downing, Davis defended. Dr. Goff, defended Goode, 6-4, 8-6; L. C. Downing defeated Posey, 6-1, 6-1. In the semi-finals Ellwood Downing proved easily the master of Dr. Davis, who, although fighting hard, was unable to make him no match for Dr. Ellwood. Dr. Goff, against L. C. Downing, displayed a brand of tennis which was reminiscent of old times. Slicing and volleying, L. C. Downing, against L. C. Downing, 6-3, 6-4. The final match of the men's singles was well played, and rallies were long and frequent, but Dr. Downing's superior sturdiness and coach of him to defeat Dr. Goff decisively.
The finals of the women's singles were played between Mrs. Lacy and Mrs. Evans, local driving and stunning enabled her to defeat Mrs. Lacy-1-6, 6-2, 6-2. Both players placed excellent tennis. The men's double title was won by Evans, defended decisively Westerns and Goff, 6-1, 6-3. Evans and Goff took the mixed doubles title from Davis and Turner. The superteam work and drive of Davis and Goff was too much for Davis and Turner.

PETERSBURG, Va. — Virginia State basketball began for the full season on September 15, Coach Martin announced this week. Letters of instruction have been sent to 34 prospective candidates reminding them of the date and stressing promptly for the first practice. The number of prospective candidates considered as available last spring had dwindled somewhat but it is possible that a team on hand at the opening practice. For the most part, veterans of last year's squad will make up this year's aggregation. However, several very promising new players are on hand at the opening of school. The loss of several regulars will no doubt be felt but there are a good number of both A and B squad members who should be reelected. The following schedule of nine games presents no warm-ups or setups so the squad will have to round into shape mighty fast, to keep up the pace set last year.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, August 16, 1930
HearMeTalkin'toYa
BLAME it on Pete and Tom Young, two gemmen from Virginia, suh, that this writer did not see Kid Chocolate and Jack (Kid) Berg in their fight at the Polo Grounds last Thursday night. Three of the eight horses in the gas wagon of these two fellow craftsmans were off their oats, so to make a short story shorter, their Pegasus arrived in Manhattan quite some hours after the tumult and shouting had begun.
But that's neither here nor there, as one of my professors used to say. What I do want to say, though, is that the aftermath of the Chocolate-Berg fight is still with us, and you may argue until you are a greybeard and there will still be those to say you may on any side you may take in the argument as to who really won the fight.
John Kieran, of the Times, gave an idea of the closeness of the fight when he said:
Those who like boxing thought that Chocolate won. Those who dote on fighting and slam-bang tacies were sure that the Whitechapel Whirlig was in front all the way.
As Joe Humphries was stalking across the ring, collecting the votes of the two judges and the referee, two observers whose business it is to put at fights comparing their own notes.
"Same here," said the other. "Six for Berg and four for Chocolate."
"No, no! Six for Chocolate and four for Berg."
When it's that close the best thing to do is to take the official vote and let it ride. There's no doubt that Kid Chocolate did the cleaner hitting, but he damaged his case by holding too much and too often. Evidently that was checked against him on the scoring pads. In any event, it was a good fight and helped to take away the sour taste of other sad spectacles that have been seen in this sector of late.
It might be well to be sane when discussing the fight. It is natural that the rotogravurean gentry will let up a yowl about robbery. They may be right. But arguing about the matter will get us nowhere. While Chocolate is said to have announced his retirement from the ring, you can bet your bank-notes. If any, that some wise promoter is going to match this pair of fighters again. Thar's got proof that he can take a lot of punishment and admitted after the fight that the only time he had ever been dazed by a blow was when someone hit him on the head with a bottle. Believe it or not, but the white boy absorbed a lot of punishment from the Bomb "omb Buddy, and I, for one, believe that Chocolate put everything he had into his punches.
But with his reputation for tireless fighting and hard punching, he left a loop hole for a decision against himself when he slowed up a little in a pair of rounds, and while this fighthe been all right for some other fighter, for Chocolate it did not anunrue what it was supposed to inflict in his previous 168 fights, and he got a 2 to 1 vote against him.
Defeat was a bitter pill for the Candy Kid to swallow, and was only natural that he should shed a few tears after the hesitant manner in which the verdict was rendered by Announceer Joe Humphries. Luis Gutierrez, his manager, was more hurt than anyone in the vast arena, and if reports coming from New York are true, the fiery Cuban manager made no bones about expressing his feelings in the matter.
For Gutierrez, with all the fire that is in him, is quoted as saying that he was "given the works." "I knew we could not win. he is reported to have said. "Singer and Berg were signed fifteen days ago, so need I say more?" This accusation was denied vehemently by Frank Bruen, general manager of Madison Square Garden, but that did not stop the Cuban's manager from continuing his verbal broadsides. "Mr. Bruen, Mr. Carey, they are all right, I do not biame them," Gutierrez thundered. "It was the people downstairs in the Garden who played me dirty. I mention no names, but some one fixed the scales and saved the $3,000 weight forit that Berg put up.
"The scales were two pounds out of the way. Why? Because Chocolate was two pounds lighter at the official weighing-in than he was a few minutes before. Certainly he could not have dropped two pounds in a few minutes.
"五 times before we put Chocolate on the scales and each time he moved in than exactly 126 pounds. In his training camp he moved 127 and I maintain that the scales were doomed so that Berg could get in under the 134½ pounds, which I stipulated in the contract.
"And the referee," here Luis had to stop to indulge in a little extra boll. "It was just as I had suspected. Berg was allowed to get away with everything. He butted, stuck his thumbs in Chocolate's eyes and heeded, besides using his elbows as attacking weapons as well as a defense.
"Berg hit on the break and was allowed to stay inside long after they should have been parted. And he didn't step back either, just as I had warned the commission last Tuesday."
Grantland Rice, considered by many as the dean of the sports writing fraternity, and as fair as any, discussing this proposed match between Berg and Singer, says:
"Berg won three rounds from Kid Chocolate and lost seven, yet got the decision. He was outclassed—but he still won. With decisions of this sort making the rounds, one guess is the same as another. The act of winning doesn't mean anything. A boxer can actually lose every round and still get the verdict. So when Berg and Singer meet the same old place, which is to say that the winner might be the loser and the loser might easily be the winner. Anyone who wishes to throw his guess against that mystic tangle is entitled to take his chance. But if he bets on his judgment he is comical in the cupola."
Elsewhere on these pages have been printed the comments of other writers. You may draw your own conclusion as to which one is right. I. For one, am anxious to see the fighters re-matched, if they should be, and you can blow me down if Chocolate isn't the winner.
The talk of Chocolate's retirement does not strike me seriously.
Having earned something like a quarter of a million dollars, and with a young fortune yet before him, I can't imagine his manager consenting to such a move. No, sir, the Keed is far from retirement. He has only retired—until his next fight.

Such a thin-skinned display of temperament came as a distinct surprise and the German rassler had a fine of $25 plastered on him because of his disappointment of the fans.
The incident brings to mind just what would occur if our dark-skinned athletic stars were quitters each time that an epithet or vile name were addressed to them. Where would Frits Pollard or Robeson or Duke Slater or Jack Johnson, or any other that you and you may you may have been, had they quit the game when not only fans, but opponents, were calling them everything but their proper names?
Would we have a Titan or a Phil Edwards or a Gus Moore if the Negro stars were quitters? Racial discrimination and prejudice have added to Negro athlete all the more courageous and deterent to a twin. In spite of the handicaps imposed upon them these apian performers have risen to the heights and all around you, can be seen evidences of their continued fight for fair play and justice in the face of great odds.

U/Overture—
As this writer predicted some colums back, the Homestead Grasses are making a play for a series in the East.
As this writer predicted some columny Grays are making a play for a series in the Cum Posey, in a letter written last week.
"Personally I think the Homestead's greatest club the Grays have ever had and gentlemen ever assembled under my mann," "We are willing and anxious to play to cause we think we have a better club and would pay financially. But we are not given them a better proposition in New York. We will use them for 45 position in New York rating each admission a play them in Pittsburgh the same way.
"As these games will be for the ree 1930, let the series run to eleven games on cluding double headers on Saturdays and "The Lincoln Giants have beaten Ba they must be the best in the Seaboard."
George Rossiter, owner of the Black Sox when he read this comment. And then he lar. "What my team wouldn't do to those tioning." he almost roared.
"Where do they get that stuff that the in the East?" Certainly Keenan's team has risped him, with the full strength of them even terms. What about that Giants? Why couldn't we get more gage when we had Suttles, Paige, Dixon and Jen.
"We'll play the Grays a series and beat tell the public that. It's just a nice way I support for a series in the East."
And so the matter rests.
"Personally I think the Homestead Grays of 1930 the greatest club the Grays have ever had and the finest bunch of gentlemen ever assembled under my management in any sport. "We are willing and anxious to play the Lincoln Giants because we think we have a better club and because we think it would pay financially. But we are not going to play and give them a better proposition in Pittsburgh than they will give us in New York. We will play them at 55 per cent of gross admission in New York, rating the admission at 50 cents and we will play them in Pittsburgh the same way. Let the series run to eleven games on consecutive days, including double headers on Saturday and Sunday. "The Lincoln Giants have beaten Baltimore so often that they must be the best in the Seaboard."
George Rossiter, of the Black Sox, laughed loud and long when he read this comment. And then he got hot under the collar. "What my team wouldn't do to those Grays isn't worth mentioning," he almost roared.
"Where do they get that stuff that the Lincolns are the best in the East? Certainly, Keenan's team has beaten mine when my team was crippled, but with the full strength of my club we played them on the field. What about that 11-1 beating we gave the Grays? Why couldn't we get more games with the Lincolns when we had Suttles, Paige, Dixon and Jenkins in the lineup?" "We'll play the Grays a series and beat 'em too, and you can tell the public that. It's just a nice way Posey has of building up support for a series in the East."
here, in Baltimore, witnessed an inkie, professional wrestler, quit in his Park because a fan called his "a yawn-skinned display of temperament on and the German rassler had a fine care of his disappointment of the fans. It brings to mind just what would occur if stars were quitters each time that an addressed to them. Where would Friar Slater or Jack Johnson, or any of you may name, have been, had they fans, but opponents, were calling her names?
Have a Colon or a Phil Edwards or a Negro athlete all the more courageous? In spite of the handicaps imposed by audiences have risen to the heights and a face of great admiration.
An example of the "poor sport." Action increase our admiration and respect to reach the heights regardless of ease!

N.J. Swimming Pool to be Used by All
ELIZABETH, N. J.-A victory was won by the Elizabeth branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People after a bitter battle that was announced the pool would be permitted to use the William G. Donald Natorium, a new municipal swimming pool, this week.
The announcement was made by the O'Neill, president of the Board of Recreation Commissioners, who investigated charges of discrimination against colored children. The commissioners of the pool had been instructed to admit, Negro children at all hours.
Hear Me Talkin' to Ya
(Continued)
And before I forget it, let me tell you that the latest additions to the Sox have been the pitchers the team. That younger Thomas on first base has been giving the customers plenty of thrills with his brilliant fielding, and while he has not ridden the old apple hard, he has not hurry been undefended in his mound starts and has worked in the outer garden, while Smith, who is almost a replica of Jud Wilson, has been rapping the horse behind a terrace. Burry has been undefended in to come back from Chicago this week. Maybe he will, and if he does, the Sox will be dangerous against the Lincoln Giants on Sunday, for the Ran in the lineup are amped to be a greater espn de corps than ever.

One "Q. B. Williams," who I am to believe is other than the medico by that name, writes in from Chicago to say:
The National Lawn Tennis tournament as sponsored by Mr. Edgar G. Brown has all the allure of marks or awards in which he plays it up to the public; the profuse verge he uses to tell of the lofty heights some of his players have attained, and the gate receipts, makes one look at the nobile game of tennis as portrayed and with a great deal of suspicion. That this national grass tourney has great potential possibilities no one will deny, but when he marries gain rather than for the betterment of tennis as a whole, it forces the tennis loving public to stop and think and while coiling one recalls the by-laws of the U.S.L.T.A. Section Five. Article Two, which says, "The tennis loving public by-playing, instructing or assisting in the pursuits of tennis or other exercises as a means of livelihood or for gain or any emolument, in the national grass tourney takes to players who play for the sport of playing."
Were not these bewhiskered gentlemen at one time the best of friends? Maybe you can guess why they fell out.
Positive anything is better than negative nothing.

FAVORED IN BATTLE
BABY JOE GANS AGAIN
FAVORED IN BATTLE
Fresh from Victory Over Murdock,
He Meets Wachlach, Friday
NEW YORK—For the second time in two weeks, Baby Joe Gans, the playful and favorite to score an impressive win over his opponent.
Last week, in the heat of the argument, the Baltimore-Berg fight, the splendid contest Baby Joe won from Eddie Murdock, the Tula mauler, came very near being overlooked. Baby Joe fought the semi-final, winning his man in most decisive fashion.
But on Friday night, there will be a different story, for Gans is topping the card, fighting the tough defense of Harry Wallach, in a ten-round battle at the Golden City Arena, Carnisie.
Right now, Gans is fast returning to the shape which made him a favorite before the accident to his left arm. He is getting better and stronger in each engagement since the fight and bids fair to shine for many years in the
Another bussy battler in the Gans outfit is Frankie Goosby, who is being promoted to the year. Just turning nineteen, this lean chap is reputed to have the hardest "sock" in the game. He is Joe Ruguzoni, Italian, at Detroit, in the main event of the Elks fight card at the Hamtramck Stadium August 11, according to part of the week, according to Jack Johnson, promoter of the bouts.
Young Jack Thompson to Defend His Title
Young Jack Thompson to Defend His Title
CHICAGO—Young Jack Thompson, world's wetterweight champion, will defend his title against Tommy Freeman, white, Cleveland challenger, but about the Cleveland Baseball Park, either on September 4 or 5.
Rav Alvis, manager of Thompson, announces that he will size up match on Thursday and that Thompson is to receive a guarantee of $275-700.
Freeman holds a decision over the champion, the two having fought in Detroit last winter.
It is also agreed that Alvis has been reprimanded by the Madison Square Garden Corporation of New York that he would consider matching Thompson with Jack (Kid) Berg, bringing Thompson to the court, the holder of the trick trickter wetterweight title which requires the champion to weigh 140 pounds or less.
If fought for the wetterweight championship such a battle, it is escheduled, would draw a gate of $250-
St. Louis Dedicates New Swimming Pool
ST. LOUIS, Mo.—Dedication exercises for the new $100,000 Lincoln Swimming Pool were held last Saturday, the pool located in East St. the country, as described as the finest in the country. Acquisition of the pool is the culmination of a ten-year fight against strong opposing forces. Cut out that the white pool in Jones Park cost only $35,000, not half as much as the one for Negroes. The pool has a capacity of 250 swimmers, and has ticker tape. Four life guards are on duty, and as a sanitary precaution each swimmer is required to pass an inspection and must take a soap shower before entry. Four will serve 15,000 persons in East St. Louis and 100,000 in St. Louis.
Phantoms Win Three of Four but Yet Trail
DARBY, Pa.—The Darby Phantoms won three of the four games played in the Inter-urban League last week. Following a loss by the score of 6-2 to the St. James nine, on June 12, the Phantoms won from the Media Pros on Wednesday and on Thursday trounced Fernland at Lansdowne by the score of 7-3 6. Isaac Clifton started on the field and his opponents well in check, but due to unskillful management Clifton was removed after holding the Phantoms to two scratch hits for four innings and Brown Coatesville pitched in the win, but failed to check the labs of the Phantoms in the pinches. On Friday the Phantoms journeyed to West Philadelphia to down Shaverlee by the court of 6-4 form. The Darby nine is now in fourth place.

SUMMERTIME BEVERAGES By MISS DORIS COSTELLO
Home Economist
In the good old summer time, all beverages taste better when served with plenty of cracked ice.
Ice mixes perfectly with everything to drink, sweet or sour drinks tart or snappy drinks—strong coffee or weak tea —gaily colored drinks, drinks without color—bubbling drinks or ice drinks as plaid as the old mill pond.
Ice is the one perfect friend of all beverages from plain water to rare nectar. It is the trusty friend to happy families, popular hostesses and inveterate party-goers.
Good taste today demands clear sparkling ice on the table—thinking merrily in glasses, frosty crested food or fruit cocktails, and chilling the olives, clementine and radishes to appetizing tenderness.
No up-to-date housekeeper wants to own short of ice while preparing meals or in the midst of a party. A generous use of ice is a well-established American custom.
Attractive ice buckets in glass or metal at prices to meet every urse are on the market today. serve songs on the ice for snacked new colored glass water
REMOVING FLY-PAPER

WHEN ICING CAKE
If a little flour is dusted over the top of a cake before putting on the icing, it will prevent the icing from running off the cake.

NO MORE WRINKLES
Try binding the forehead with a first bandage soaked in equal parts of alcohol and the white of an egg, allowing the bandage to remain over night.
WATERING HOUSE PLANTS
When watering house plants, use a small funnel. Hold the funnel close to the roots when pouring the water. This will prevent water from splashing over the edges of the pots when watering house plants.
Dumplings
Bring one cup of hot water, one rounding tablespoon of butter, and one-half level teaspoon of oil. Mix one cup of flour all at once. Stir until it forms a ball in the center of kettle. Remove from fire and add 'free eggs' one at a time. Boil in slightly salted water or in vegetable or chicken soup.
Scones for Sunday Supper
Use baking powder biscuit mixture, but add an extra tablespoon of butter. one egg beaten light—reserve a small amount of unbeaten white—andough that can be handled. Roll to ¼ inch thickness and cut into diamond shapes. Brush with the reserved egg white. sprinkle with "two teaspoons of sugar, and bake for fifteen minutes in a hot oven. This gives an extra touch to the Sunday evening supper.
bottles in modern design and glass beverages shakers are available, too; for those who love their warm weather drinks served ice-cold.

The occasion for this sudden outburst of uppishness, this craveting for the finer things of life, is the advent into the local literary field of a new periodical, *The Progressive Age*, the monthly brainstorm of William M. Riley.
For your enlightenment, Mr. Riley, the editor, is also the erstwhile manager of Wonder Park and as such he proved himself a man of vision. Mr. Riley could see further and see more than most ordinary men. For instance, Mr. Riley observed that we were five thousand people in his amusement park of a Sunday afternoon, while others who had no occasion to deceive me, would say only fifty or sixty. I attributed this apparent discrepancy between figures of the past and our present part. Mr. Riley looks for bigger and better things and sees them where others

Even church members who were detected by a snooping deacon, casing in or out of the halls of misquita church, were they remained until their dying day unless they repented by way of the moaner's bench which was a long and tedious ordeal. You never realize how much sin a person in a small town can accustom to, the revival and speculate on how long it takes him to "come through." In my old home town where they did not have as many diversified choirs, I do in large cities, the dance hall and the church, meaning the actual buildings themselves, represented the definite line of demarcation between sin and righteousness, and Mr. Killey's singing the lion and the lamb to lie down together, as it were, shows that the kingdom of God is near at hand. His is a noble accomplishment.
Good Teacher
The Progressive Age has many features to recommend it to the intellectual thinker. It teaches you things. For instance under the department headed sports you learn how to play basketball. You can imagine anything more exciting than a group of our prominent and husky business men playing a thrilling game of "poor pussy". Another thrilling "sport" is the relentless replay in a supposed to eat crackers and the first one to whistle, is the winner.
You also learn that there are 6 000

and dress and actions
can be described.
The Progressive Age is a step in the right direction whichever way it is going. There should be a copy in every home; people don't stay at home these days anyway and it would be no trouble at all.
A Poet Calls
While discussing literature it would be criminal to overlook the budding young poet, Mr. Langston Smith, mechanic by trade, who brought his works to my desk for a year. My own criticism is abundant and wholehearted, the publication is withheld. Not that Mr. Smith's poems are not meritorious, mind you, they are really advanced pieces of inspired writing, possessing a depth of life and longing for a man who is living before his age. The world is not quite ready for Mr. Smith's poetry just yet. Human intelligence must be developed to a marked degree of perfection before Smith's poems will be appreciated.
The world, in its ignorance, wants its poetry rhyming on the ends of the lines. The world has been taught that poetry should be some bearing one on the other. Mr. Smith's poetry doesn't do these things, but what it does it does very well. It makes you stop and ponder. Preserved until the world is ripe for such a departure from the accepted standards in the poetry business, these poems may yet place the poet in the spotlight of the immortals. Just hang around a few generations and watch this prophecy come true.
Art is Long
And pictures too, have found their way to my desk. Pictures from a Mr. Joseph Crosby of Chicago. He paints them and sells them. He shows a Progress "shows milestones in the upward march of you and you and you. In the middle is a robed and pious picture of the Lamb of Calvary standing on top of the world. Not a girl might suppose, but one strikingly Negro except for his long flowing hair. A reference to Madame Walker's hair preparations on the side might explain the book. Books by T. Washington, Oscar DePriest, Paul Laurence Dumbar and Col. Charles Young are also stuck around the edges. It is an inspirational picture, as are the other pictures for faulty dressmanship, which can be overlooked by one not of artistic

A STRANGE STORY OF A SCORNED WOMAN How An Innocent Chef Narrowly Escaped Being a Poison Murderer
Bv DONN BRYAN
MAX. chef at the old St. Arlos Hotel, in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, recalls without effort the strangest thing that ever happened to him in all his thirty-one years of catering for high class people throughout the
The story of Max's dilemma is enough to convert any non-believer in the old saying that "truth is stranger than fiction." If one were to construct a fiction story that reads as this story of unvarnished truth no editor in the world would accept it. But as a true story of an actual happening with the spoken word of a man who has always been highly respected and honored, to touch for the correctness of it, this narrative is outstanding in point of incidents which go to make it up. There has been an uninterrupted stream, of letters to the kitchen of th hotel where Max is employed, asking for his signature and for this picture in many of these letters, is made apparent that the sole motive of the writers is to get this honest colored man's own version of a story that has been abused and ill-treated in various forms in the newspapers.
In all Instances Max was prone not to discuss the happening, preferring to wait unil the event had grown older and more sedate in his mind. Now, however, without a trace of excitement, when he relates the occurrence, he plunges into the details with a remarkable vividness, delineating the series of episodes with quick sure words. Then with his thoughts emancipated, he draws a breath of relief, and promptly ceases to remember that he was ever involved in what almost proved to be as sinister a tragedy as ever occurred in the world of the theatre.
Max is known to everybody in Cape Girardeau. He goes away now and then to cook for: wealthy men on fishing and hunting trips. His aid is being forever solicited, and he never serve in the employ of any man or group of men but what is sooner or later called back to serve it same again. Therefore, it was not at all unexpected that, upon snow evening in December, he was called to the old Crüps Opera House to prepare a banquet which the management was giving the
The offer of an exorbitant sum for the job succeeded in bringing about when he had rejected the proposal on the telephone. Besides, there was a charming, musical voice requesting that he reconsider his former refusal, and consent to prepare the banquet, because the woman stated that she had heard about his extraordinary ability and would not be obligated with the culinary arts of anyone else. He would be so generously offered. Moreover, the disclosures she made with regard to his excellence of service had been almost too much for any normal man to resist. Then, he drew himself into his fur-colored overcoat, put on his canary-colored gloves, and was soon swaging energetically on his way to the opera house. Max was invincible.
When he reached the opera house he met the woman with the irresistues- or there would be no banquet at all, et cetera. Thus when she had commended her imprecation Max scratched his head and retorted easily:
agreeably, "I will be there," he promised, as assured or a desire to see the owner of that enchanting and enrapturing voice a. to get the money he contends, is "nobody's business." I voice and what she did to num. He felt his head swim when he looked into her elongated eyes, and he felt a temple throb at the same time. Madam Corrine Carter, star of the troupe, with the figure, Venus and the allure of *O* Cleopatra and Salome combined in one. There was a panther-like grace to her movements, and there was, at the same time, a calmness in her actions which positive defied analysis. With her, confidence was exchanging, and Max promptly felt an artiste urge to say something poetical. However, impressed the impulse.
he But Madam Corrine was in the grip of an inexorable jealousy. A small New Orleans girl, Mayette Marshall, slim and graceful and uncommonly comely, had captured the undivided interests of the good looking singer on the show, Ben Baxton, completely murdering every desire that Corrine had ever felt to be good. There had been a time when she felt very much like a sacred wall but the occasion had passed wall but to come again. Her mad impulse now was to destroy like sirine, de Medici.
For a year the clancestine arduan had been going on between Corrine B. Ben Baxton. He had promised her so many things. Those soft, compelling words of love on his part, his dreams of a trip to Central America, the beautiful castles he had erected in the air; and then—the cruel unrelenting situation that fate had brought about when she—that ever fickle goddess—had brought to the show the young and wholly innocent Mayette. It was enough to make a woman of Corrine's type mad, enough to drive her into the metal straps of burning hell.
very she. She suffered. There was no way of pleuring just how great had been suffering. She had cried, lamented dolefully, and face to face with the irreconcilable fact that she had lost everything in life that was worthy of consideration she had nothing left to live for. Oh—those lost moments of ecstasy and the efflorescence of true love. All those nights gone with the past, had been nights of insincerity. Corrine believed that she would rather have died than to face the truth. Now egregious the situation was intolerable, so she had decided upon taking which she would never be exactly able to retrace. It was where Max came in. There was a silver drinking cup, fashioned after the pictures sk. of the Romans in Old World History, which Corrine had given to Ben for
t. Arlos Hotel, in Cape Girarais without effort the strangest opened to him in all his thirty-th class people throughout the a Christmas gift. This cup she had acquired that evening, when searching through his luggage, and it was her plan to fill it with a poison liquid which would produce instant death. And to make sure that there would be no mistake, she came to the kitchen in the back of the opera house, where banquets were always prepared and served, and it was used him to prepare a special dish for Ben. It was his favorite. Stewed oysters. And Max knew how to do this with an exceptional relish.
Max accepted a small paper box filled with a strange looking white powder from Corrine, along with her instructions to flavor the stew with it. Not thinking, he did that very thing, and it was not until the meal was on the long pine table on the stage, after the performance, that he became aware of how near to killing a man he had been. The thought of being a poisoner unnerved Max, and it was only by the grace of God that he was saved from the abyssal predicament. The watchful eyes of Mayette, who had long suspected Corrine, had prevented the tragedy. She had refused to allow Ben to partake of the oysters. Nor did she allow him to drink from the heavy silver cup. It must have been the alleged feminine instinct that averted the tragedy Ano Ben escaped, but not until he had upraised Corrine and explained to her that he was leaving the show. How it began, know that Corrine had planned to poison Ben Baxton was strange enough within itself.
Corrine had succumbed to a burning anger and confessed that this plan had failed but that it he persisted in his attentions to Mayette she would find another way. She wanted him to know that she meant to have revenge if it took all her life to do it. Where she slipped up was in disclosing that she had attempted to poison him. He called the police. Lat Max has destroyed the packet of Coin by burning it in the range, and the remaining evidence had been dashed upon the floor by Corrine. Somehow she managed to escape arrest, but everybody employed about the opera house knows that Max that the tragedy was averted. Just the occurrence. No man is still thinking himself more fully realize. However, he simply told the truth when he related now clec he came to being one in that attempted poison murder he will knows enough in the way of realization to shudde every time he thinks about it. There is no way of determining the nature of that poison.
The most remarkable feature about this story, that did not actually happen until a number of years after the near tragedy of the opera house, con-

About Insect Pest
Insect enemies of the flower often discourage amateurs whose early efforts start healthy plants which suffer from the attacks of chewing or sucking insects.
Promiscuous spraying is not advised as insecticides are seldom, if ever used in the garden itself. Insects are divided into two groups those which chew, such as the heatating beetles, grasshoppers, caterpillars and other wormlike forms, and the sucking insects such as the mealybugs, pills and mealybugs, according to the U.S. government entomologist.
The former must be treated with a stomach poison. Typical of such poison are one pound of powder in 50 gallons of water, or the arsenate of lead once ounce or part, powdered, arsenate of lead once ounce or part, ounces of lead once ounce or air slaked lime once ounce or part, superfine sulphur.
Contact insecticides are used for killing the sucking type of beetle this expert has found. The poisons weve learned in this chapter entail inhrough the breathing apparatus or by suffocation. Sprays used by nicotine or tobacco solution, in small quantities, one to one and one-fourth when using 40 per cent nicotine or in larger quantities one fluid ounce of the same strength to eight gallons of water. Nicotine dusts contain five per cent of nicotine sulphate solution and when using 40 per cent nicotine or in larger quantities two per cent nicotine are said to give good results with plant lice and aphids. In addition to the adive on equipment and materials obtained at any reliable and insecticide store, users are warned that these poisons can be equally as dangerous to humans as to insects unless properly used. Puncture should not be used. Careful handling in well-labeled packages and cleaning of spray apparatus after using are advised.

WASHERWOMAN IS
VANISHING FIGURE
C.S. Census Tabulation Confusing; Note Only 283, 557 Now.
LAUNDRIES BLAMED
Washerwomen Most Substantial Citizens of Old Days.
WASHINGTON.-The washerwoman, one of the most substantial citizens of the old days, is fast vanishing, according to Carter G. Woodson, writing in the July Journal of Negro History.
This disappearing figure, whose name Mr. Woodson says, everyone should mention with veneration, was all but a burden of burden of the aristocratic shareholder, and in freedom she continued at hard labor as a breadmaster of the family.
Rapidly Passing
But because of the rise of the race from druggery and the modern launder, the washerwoman is passing, the washerwoman is passing, personage in the life of the NEGro, cannot be taken today for the reason that her task is almost done," says Mr. Woodson.
Although the Bureau of the Census reported an increase from 151,540 women in 1800 to 373,818, 1810, and the fourteenth census reported 283,557 in 1920, these census Bureau included women working in laundries as washermen, or car-
The real washerwoman did her clothing to wash or did her laundry to wash or did her employer. These workers the steam laundry has most completely superceded the most unfortunate ones. The most unfortunate who are unaware do anything else and must need for the lowest wages, remain underbid the steam laundry.
Most Valuable Citizen
Whether as a slave or freewoman, the washerwoman is the most stone as one of the most valuable assets the race ever had. In the history of no people has her example been paralleled, and in the New York City she be found to the level of this philanthropic spirit in unselfish service.
During slavery she often bought the slave herself, her husband others with extra money she made after her doing her day's task. Following slavery, when Negro in the North were freed, the unions, it was when the washerwoman who kept the some misinformed whites have come down to this day with the idea that
It was the washerwoman's money which they had to invest for community unify; and such business as the race has developed, the trading goods of these women.
Professional Mer.
There are many professional men and school teachers who owe their success to the toil of the washerwoman. To co-operative business, she has been a large factor, for the teachers and professional classes, beams taught solely the skills developed an inferiority complex, and could not have confidence in the initiative of Negroes who launched these projects, no such theses and willingly co-operated with programs. Some of the leading enterprises of the Life Bank in Richmond, the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company of Durham and the National Benefit Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, should be their stockholders noble women of this type.

MISS MOB LITHEST NO
The lynching of Thomas Shipp and Abraham Smith by an Indiana mob last week brings the 1930 lynching endurance contest to nineteen with only eight months gone. This equis marked the beginning of a decline in mob violence, which in 1924 reached the low total of four.
The greatest number was lynched in 1892 when 88 met and killed the heads of mob. This number excludes years in which race riots occurred.
THOUSANDS SEE TWO
Continued from Page One
Sullivan, fourth member of the quartet which is believed to be the gang of notorious robbers, were spared by the mob but later escaped from by the mob for safety. Fourteen other colored persons were not molested.
The mob broke through steel doors before getting to the cells of the men. Windows were staved in and holes punched in the walls.
Sheriff Afraid
Sheriff Campbell and his aides tried fear gas bombs and fire hose. These failed and the sheriff ordered no shots fired and no opposition to the mob for fear of injuring women and girls who filled the front ranks. He said that he feared the mob carried dynamite.
No Lynchling in 20 Years
Indiana hasn't had a lynching in twenty years, according to the Federal Council of Churches' report The N.A.A.C.P. reports: Since 1800 there have been twenty lynchings since Negroes and ten whites. The last previous lynching was on November 2, 1902, when a mob of 100 men worked on a mob of 100 men worked on James Dillard and lynched James Dillard.
Try Burning
Wild members of the mob sought to burn the swaying bodies nearly inked by Friday morning, who tried to cut down the bodies down the street. The mob seemed to have enough and when two companies of state troops arrived order was restored. Rev. William Oglesby and Dr. T. W. Berry, A.M.A.C.P., officials trooped on the ground that life and property were not safe.
None Recognized
Sheriff Campbell denied recognizing members of the mob, although none wore masks. The police, because state laws make him responsible for the safety of persons in jail. Prosecutor Harley Hardin, who first said no conspiracy would inquire into the issue issued a statement declaring "we are going to use every agency to apprehend, prosecute and punish members of the mob." The police has been consulted, including Campbell, Hardin, Chief of Police Holdenmith, Assistant Attorneys General Stroup and Wall. Their involvement in the defense of September grand lury.
Bodies to Muncie
Bodies of the lynched men were taken to Muncie, Ind., where a crowd of 2,000 collected outside the undertaking establishment. Funeral was held here Monday and the mililia 's then instructed to break camp.

The Marion Chronicle said edi-

Marion is about the last place on earth where we should have expected to witness a witch. He is very much happened here. The lynching was done, not by men of violent and lawless dispositions. These men are ori-
dinally accused of being atrocities they were stung to the quick by an atrocious crime and spurred on to their violent act by a want of confidence in the processes of the

No Race Problem
People of all races and creeds should bear in mind that the men lynched at Marlon Thursday were lynched not because they were members of the race, but because they had been guilty of two atrocious crimes to which they had confessed. The act represents a breakdown of law enforcement that can not be condoned for people, such as, have therefore no grievance in which the white people do not share. It was the peace, dignity and honor of the state of Indiana and the people of color, that were trampled on by the mob. Even to suggest that there is a race question involved can only serve to lighten the guilt that its attack was directed against a certain class of our people, when as a matter of fact it was an assault on all our people, on the law and on the sovereignty of Indiana. But it in this way—and we do not see how it can be looked

open, remained a mystery with Wright. He remained until his death, an alcoot, powerful being, "the man whom nobody knew."
Outstanding in his character was this disposition to keep himself, as was also his great intelligence his consummate belief in himself and in his race and his qualities of leadership.
His Mother Banished Jim Crow
Although the facts are not at this time attainable there is a story, heard for a long time in Chicago and repeated in James Weldon Johnson's "Black Manhattan," of a colored woman who instituted the fight against the Jim Crow street cars in New York back in the '50's and won it. That woman is generally reputed to have been the mother, or the aunt of Edward H. Hirst, that he is said to have inherited his indomitable will and courage. A sister recounts that at the age of seventeen, he burst blood vessels, struggling against an older and larger brother.
A graduate of the City College of New York, he left the east when found a jobs position as a young nurse in New Jersey was demeaning to him.
Never Took Counsel
From the time of his arrival in Chicago, he sought a position of leadership among whites and Negroes. He never seemed to take course from anybody; he held a position to give it to anybody who came within the sway of his influence, black or white. The most signal example of his belief in himself is found in the story of his election as president, county board of trustees, county, in Chicago is located, thirty years ago, when he was a young man in his thirties.
A Black Man
Wright was definitely a black man, but it never occurred to him that there was anything unusual in a black man aspiring the control of a governing body of the state, with expenditures of hundreds of millions. At his elevation, he was a member of the board, and upon hearing that the president intended to take a year's leave of absence for travel abroad he approached members of the board, and he had them to him and obtained promises from them that they would support him. Seven votes were necessary. No one of the seven knew that any other had promised, so had Wright, and remaining, that the votes had been counted, he had his seven safe. He served for a year as the president.
Mode First State's Attorney
But before that time, he had forced the State's attorney, Charles S. Deenner—later to become governor and senator—to appoint the assistant attorney general of the state, threatening to block approval on the county board of certain funds for the State's attorney. From 1900 on, he labored prodigiously, the political position of his race. Although he permitted no man to get close to his personal self, he took some men and made them. Most of the cent-day political leader of Chicago was exercised by the daring strategy exercised by Wright in their behalf. He was the "Old Master." Some men hated him because of his hardiness of leadership, but man ever questioned his sincerity or
The years from 1900 to 1915 were filled with his attempts to place his race. Then in 1915, William Hale Thompson was made mayor. Writig had supported him, and, as a result, he rewarded the reward of his services. He again flashed his enthusiasm as a corporate asset traction expert and was the first Negro to serve on the Illinois Commerce Commission, a position he filled with signal credit.

But even in the days of his falling star, he could proudly and truthfully point on in the ways he had planned.
No One Can Tell
However he passed away a mystery. Who was his mother? Father? Nobody says. How old? His sister says 64. Where was he born? "Mr. Wright prefers to say he was born," he said. But he was not, and his wishes are so respected that those who could tell, won't. Funeral services were held Monday morning at the Metropolitan Community Church. Following this service the Rev. Henry Brown, pastor of the Episcopal service, and the body was laid to rest in the Wright family lot in Oakwood Cemetery.

SECRET U.S. NOTE
Continued from Page One necessary steps to ascertain the source of the forgeries and the prosecution of the guilty persons.
Source Not Known
According to Mr. Faulkner, the source of the alleged forged documents is not known. They, however, appeared in the government bulletin dated June 28, and, although the documents are copies, there is sufficient authentic background to them to indicate that their source is authentic.
Instructions to Dr. Johnson
One of the alleged forged documents was an order to Secretary of State Harry L. Stimson, through E.E. Liggett, acting for the chief of the Division of Western European Affairs to Dr. Johnson, (1) designating him as U.S. Government Commissioner to investigate forced labor, slavery and maltreatment of natives by the Liberian government in the Republic of Liberia. He was also to carry with him "a stenographic reporter of the American secret service bureau." (2) Dr. Johnson was ordered to proceed to Liberia, stopping only in London, where he would receive further information through the U.S. legation there. (3) Dr. Johnson was advised that the U.S. legation in Paris has authentic data to show that the British and French governments are desirous through the League of Nations to have Liberia mandated, according to the document.
U.S. Willing
"You are furnished copies of Drummond's communication suggesting this plan. The United States government may not stand for this and if we can assist Liberia to overcome this, our relations will be better, though it is doubtful if there may not occur diplomatic eruptions. In any way, nothing must be left unturned for this government to know what legitimate plan it will take on behalf of Liberia. If these corrupt practices are alleged to exist, it is the desire of the United States government to ask permission of the League to make proposals in the form of a mandate to have these practices stopped."
Met in London
Paragraph four suggests that Dr. Johnson will be met in London by one Sotlieb to discuss thoroughly the situation in Liberia. (5) Dr. Johnson is instructed to get in touch with Dr. T. J. R. Faulkner, chief complainant of the forced labor conditions, and have him give to the commission any witnesses he can lay hands on in Liberia.
Year's Time Given
(6) Dr. Johnson is advised to cooperate absolutely with the League of Nations commissioner and is given unlimited time within a year to stay in Liberia to obtain the facts.
(7) "There may be an attempt made by the Liberian government to elect someone as its member on the commission who will in many ways doublecross the commissioner, and this is be presented. You are therefore to closely scrutinize the choice of the government and to keep a vigilant watch on his activities.
Keep in Touch
(8) "You are required always to be in close touch with the legation in London and the division here and a regular cable report of your doings is necessary. If there is any attempt on the part of the Liberian government to hamper the commission's work in any way, same must be at once reported and supplementary instructions will be sent by cable.
(9) "With the above instructions you are furnished also a letter of objection to the necessary department to arrange for your expenses to and while in Liberia."
(Signed) E. E. LIGGETT.
People's Party Acts
Mr. Faulkner also brought with him resolutions of the People's party, the present opposition party in Liberia, which resolutions were presented and adopted in a meeting held on the 8th of July, 1930, by the vote of the citizens of Montserrado County. The party disapproves and condemns "fraud, coercion, intimidation and mal-administration of President King and his cabin and declares that it has totally destroyed confidence in the integrity, ability and sincerity of the Liberian governing classes." People's party since its organization, has been supported by the majority of the people, according to resolutions, and in 1923 polled seven tenths of the votes and in 1927 nine tenths of the legal votes.
99 Per Cent Fraud
"Of the 45,000 votes alleged to have been carried in favor of the administration of 1923, and of the 328,000 of 1927, the resolutions state that ninety-nine per cent were fraudulent and void." The party also declares that President King is responsible for fraudulent elections and for the failure of the courts to take account of such fraudulent elections, and of the forced labor, military conditions, calls to the League of Nations and the United States to remove from office the present administration and substitute a provisional government to be instituted until the general guardernial election and the inauguration of the elected president.
Honest Election
To insure the honesty of the election it is requested that the provisional president appoint a special commission of election consisting of a mmeer appointed by each of the political parties, these two to be associated with a third to be designated by the League of Nations.

Ghost Orphanage Vanishes, "Reverend" Solicitor, Also
Where is the "Union Industrial Home and Farm for Orphans and Indigent Colored Children"? That is what a white woman resident of Towson asked when solicited recently by a colored person of ministerial persuasion. Mrs. M. Delaney, white, of the Baltimore County Children's Aid Society, who was present, suggested that the $5 which her friend was about to donate to "Ofphans 'nd Indigent" be withdrawn until the place could be investigated. This was two weeks ago. Since then AFRO reporters, the Urban League and several other agencies have sought variety to fill 'phage officials. The house which they occupied in 1909 McCulloch Street was beset by them. No one in the neighborhood knows of its personnel and reporters sent out concluded that the orphane and farm must be a ghost institution.
The only real thing about the affair is the unknown solicitor who has vanished along with the ghost orphanage, however without the Towson lady's $5 bill.
Organized welfare acencies request Baltimoreans not to contribute to solicitation, they do not know personally and with whose work they are not acquainted.

Although the cremation was used last Thursday evidences of heat were still present. The local cremator is of the old style, using coal, while the improved styles are oil burners and complete their work in twenty minutes after the oven is opened.

ELKS TO APPEAL VA. COURT RULING
Judge Groner Declined to Make Restraining Injunction Permanent. HAD DENIED DEAL Pollard Says they Will Continue to Hold Out.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The grand lodge of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World will take an appeal from the decision of Judge D. Lawrence Groner of the Federal court for the eastern district of Virginia to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler, and Perry W. Howard, grand legal adviser, announced upon their return from Richmond last Saturday.
Judge Groner declined to make permanent a temporary injunction granted by Circuit Judge Elliott Boutwell restraining Virginia Elks from operating as a-grand lodge under a charter obtained from the State of Virginia.
No Exclusive Rights
In his decision rendered in Richmond last Saturday Judge Groner held that the white Elks had the exclusive right to the use of the name Benevolent Protective Order of Elks and that the colored grand lodge could not claim exclusive right to the use of a game so similar.
He also ruled that there was evidence that the real domicile of the grand lodge was in the District of Columbia, in which there no diverse citizenship giving the right to bring criminal proceedings in the United States district courts. The grand lodge had claimed that its domicile was in the State of New Jersey under a charter obtained in 1906. Judge Groner took the position that that charter had been allowed to lapse.
Judge Groner urged before rendering his decision that all parties to the litigation, get together for the general good of the order and settle their differences, stating that there were grounds under the law to justify the grand judge in enjoining the Virginia group. The grand legal adviser noted an appeal. It was allowed. Mr. Howard then asked for a superseeds to keep the temporary injunction in effect until the Circuit Court of Virginia granted the superseeds and fixed the bond at $2,000.
Will Hold Out
That the Virginia Elks are determined to hold out against the national grand lodge, was indicated recently when Joseph R. Pollard, head of the state body, denied in toto a statement made some years ago by Jeremy W. Howard that a truce had been effected. In an open letter Mr. Pollard declared that they were willing to abide by whatever court decision was made and take their medicine like men. It is expected that they will continue the fight against Virginia as Grand Lodge of Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World independent of the national body.

Charges of "Snobbery" Hurled at Julian Rainey and Others.
DOCTORS OUT
President and Secretary of Southend Club Quit.
BY ELLIOTT FREEMAN
BOSTON, Mass.—Characterizing the Massachusetts Colored Democratic League as a "high hat organization" with snobblish officers who use steamroller tactics in their efforts to control the organization with a few men Dr. William F. Brown and J. W. Youngblood, president and secretary of the South End Democratic Club, in an interview granted this reporter explained why they organized another club and severed their connections with the state organization.
According to Dr. Brown, no real man could be satisfied with the methods of the state organization, with its secret meetings consisting of Drs. Silas F. (Shag) Taylor, William Worthy and C. W. Harrison. "The meetings could be for all purposes and in any shape it is not fair to the voters, especially when we are trying to enroll new colored members," they declared.
Raps Rainey
Taking a rap at Julian D. Rainey, assistant corporation counsel for the city of Boston, and the leader of colored Democrats during the last Presidential campaign, Dr. Brown declared that "eligible Democrats were well known as a Republican was placed in the Democratic headquarters of the league by Rainey during the last Presidential campaign. Rainey was also branded as the head of the Democratic Club was organized by Dr. Brown and Mr. Youngblood in January of this year. They claim a membership of over 250 persons. Both are pioneer Democrats, having changed in 1910. They were the organizers of the Democratic Club. The Massachusetts Democratic League, they say, is the outgrowth of their club and that the present "high hatters" of the state organization stepped in and "hogged everything." Both factions are "supporting Dr. Rainey and Latimore for the General Court.

Colorful Romance of Rev James W. Brown Like Page Torn from Fiction Story Published in 1928.
NEW YORK—Unlike in the story books where the wedding means "they lived happily ever after," the marriage of the Rev. Dr. James W. Brown, pastor of Mother Zion A.M.E.
