President of Haiti May Also Resign; His Cabinet Now Out 39th Year, Number 48 ELDER ADMITS A SPLIT WITH SPIRITUALIST Wife of Evangelist Did Not Like Male Assistants, Claim. THIRD HUSBAND Declares Spouse's Second Mate Not Divorced. (Picture on Page 4) PHILADELPHIA. — The doctrine of brotherly love expounded by the Elder G. Wilson Becton, famous evangelist, and the spiritual communion advocated by his wife, Mrs. Bufford Becton, have been absent from their home for several years and their marital ship has foundered. He admitted to an AFRO correspondent that he and Mrs. Becton, who was once his aid, were now separated and she was conducting a spiritual church of her own in New York City. Would Welcome Suit Nothing would please him more, he said, than to have his wife proceeded for divorce. "When living with her, I did everything possible to make her happy; but she is the type which it is impossible to please or get along I married Mrs. Becton more out of pity than for love. I am her third husband. Now I have proof that she was never legally divorced from her second husband, a Mr. Baugh, former owner of the South-Coast, in Philadelphia. "The girl left me eight months ago to our own church." Mrs. Becton Silent Interviewed by a representative of the APROG New York bureau, Mrs. Boston refused to make a statement for publication, but declared that she would wait until the Elder spoke and then she would tell her side of the story. She referred the reporter to Chappy Gardner, young, new York promoter, who she says says her newly acquired manager, Mr. Gardner, however, could not elucidate concerning the town family difficulties. Ugly Charges Udly charges are affront in both New York and Philadelphia to the effect that both the elder and his wife would accuse each other of possessing abnormal tendencies. The elder, when asked a comment on the report that his wife owned the report that he was overly influenced by his secretary, a Mr. Davies, and preferred to be surrounded by men rather than by women, he declared that he once employed female assistants, but his wife's jealous nature forced him to dismiss them and give him. He refused to comment on the rumor that his wife preferred the companion of women. Mentions AFRO In his sermon at Tindley Temple here he is holding a Gospel Peace, elder said the AFROS publisher of his activities was doing more good than harm. He was able to hear from friends he had not seen for years after the publication. Two ministers in Chicago wired him after reaching about his management team. The AFRO gave him credit for the GRO gave him credit for having only 40 suits when he had really 42. The number of his shoes was also short, he said, as he has 19 pairs. All of those who loved him to oakies cents in the collection plate. AFRO PREDICTED THIRD CAROLINA LYNCHING (The AFRO predicted August 2 more lunches this year in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Texas. North Carolina had already had two lunches in 1930 and no one had been punished). TARBORO, N. C.—A mob of fifty masked man hunters, then which licenses were removed, lynched Oliver Moore. 29, tenant farmer accused of attacking his white landlord's daughter, Ethel. 7, and Lucille. 5, on July 18. Moore denied the charge in court. By a ruse the mob was admitted to the jail, frightened the prisoners and eventually not Moore, whom they strung up to a tree with a round his waist to insure his future. The mob amused itself with shooting at the swine target until it was filled with lead. Governor Gardner "shocked" at the third hunting of the year after ten years without killing a promised punishment for the mob.

DETROIT. — Barred from one of its vessels here when they had tickets for an excursion during the meeting of the National Association of Chiropodists, twelve doctors have filed damage suits totaling $300,000 against the Detroit-Windsor Ferry Company. Court action on the part of the doctors followed the action of the host company in refusing them passage on a trip to Bob-Lo Island, on August 6 where the whole convention had been invited. During the week of August 4, the National Association of Chiropodists held their convention here which was attended by the following members of the group: Dr. Clifford Roberts of Chicago; Dr. Nellie M. Dunn, of Chicago; Dr. Julia B. Johnson, New Rochelle, N.Y.; Dr. Roberts of Chicago; Katherine Dago, Chicago; C. R. C. Maloney, Chicago; C. L. Warner, Chicago; Dr. Rodgers, W. Griffin, New York; Dr. Challenger Russell Maloney, Buffalo; Dr. J. W. Hoffman, Cincinnati, and Dr. Lambert, Springfield, Ill. Had Tickets Complimentary tickets for an excursion and boat ride were issued by the officials of the association to all members and persons attending the convention. The tickets were for August 6 and the Detroit-Windsor Perry Company's boat was to be used. When the colored members attempted to board the boat for the purpose of making the excursion trip they were refused passage and denied the right to make the trip. Dr. Challenger Russell Maloney, of Buffalo, immediately had his attorneys, Lewis and Rowlette, to file in the circuit court for $25,000 damages against the boat company. The other suits followed.

BISHOP JOHNSON DEFENDANT IN $22,000 SUIT A.M.E. Prelate Charged with Financial Irregularities. BILLS UNPAID Caused $6,000 Shortage at Campbell College JACKSON, Miss.—Alleging serious irregularities in the handling of over $22,000 of Campbell College funds, Bishop William D. Johnson, of the Eighth Episcopal District of the A.M.E. Church, was made a defendant by a suit in equity in the circuit court here last week. According to the petition Bishop Johnson not only received these funds without proper authority, but mishandled them and diverted them from the use to which they were intended. Salaries Unpaid It is further alleged that as a result of these defalcations, teachers' salaries and sundry other bills to the amount of $6,000 are unpaid. The petitioners ask for a receivership and accounting of the funds. The petitioners state that they fear that Bishop Johnson will flee jurisdiction of the court, and hence they ask that tribunal to grant a writ ad personum, which will keep him in the State of Missouri. Denies Charges Bishop Johnson is said not only to have abruptly denied the charges, but to have in effect pooh pooh the filing of the suit and told them to try any means they wished to reach him. It will be recalled that considerable discussion arose at the last meeting of the financial board be-wared that Bishop Johnson failed to turn over to the financial department its share of the dollar money from any of the Mississippi conferences. $25,000 TOO MUCH FOR G.

NO FALLING OUT But Couple Agrees to "Fannie Hurst." (Special to the AFRO-AMERICAN) BOSTON, Mass.—According to the local Chronicle, Eugene Gordon, the writer, and his wife have agreed to live apart a la Fannie Hurst during the next two years, although there has been no disagreement. With the first inkling that the Gordons were planning to live apart, Boston society folk began to wag their tongues and many whisper queries started over tea cups and bridge itself. It was not until it rattled himself, in a signed interview, frankly admitted the arrangement, that the public was set right on the matter. For Two Years In this interview, according to John W. Youngblood, Mr. Gordon said: "My wife and I are going to live at separate addresses because, for the present, it best suits our plans to do so. She hopes to enter the College of Education at Boston University, where in two years more of study, she may obtain a degree. It is obviously difficult for us to continue housekeeping under the new arrangements. "While she is in school I shall be busy writing, having received assignments from magazines to write on matters as varied as 'Negro Collegium Among American Blacks.' Therefore, we shall both be busy. "Considering these facts, we decided that we might make the experiment of living under separate roots, where each would have his work and his interests." Just Experiment Mr. Gordon let it be distinctly known that Mrs. Gordon and himself had not separated. "We have not fallen out," he said. "We have not grown tired of each other. "It is simply an experiment and nothing more. It may last for the duration of her two years in college, and it may end within a month. We do not know. In the meantime I am supporting my wife, as always, and paying all her college expenses." Mr. Gordon declared that he was of the opinion that many married couples would like to try out such an experiment, if they dared. Friends of Mr. Gordon recalled that the noted author, Fannie Hurst, has been living apart from her husband under a mutual arrangement. TWO THEORIES NOW IN TUSKEGEE MURDER TUSKEGEE Ala. — The long arm of the law may yet solve the almost perfect crime which snuffed out the life of Miss Mary Booth, superintendent of nurses of John A. Andrew Hospital, two weeks ago as the web of circumstantial evidence is being pieced together by a corps of secret service men. The suspicion centers on the psychopathic ward in the U.S. Veterans Hospital where many ex-soldiers, rendered mentally deficient by the horror of war, are confined. The theory is advanced that one of the psychopaths might have caped intent upon murder and the unintentional victim of his assault. Suspect Nurses Runners that two nurses who were dressed in white Miss Booth might have wreaked vengeance upon her are also wreaked in the community. The theory that one might even have attired herself in men's clothing to conceal her identity is The women several days prior to the attack were their bargeage on ahead, but they are said to have lingered about the town and their clues are all being run down.

SEX STORY, RETAILS FOR $1 Police Confiscate Entire Issue; Editor Gets Out Second One. Bellmen Advised to Shun White Sirens. JACKSON, Miss. — Containing the naked details of the love affair between Mrs. George Miller, pretty white telephone operator, and a bellhop at the Walthal Hotel, which ended in the latter being shot to death because of his intimate relations with the white woman, the "Scoop," a news sheet carrying special news, was confiscated by police here. When the "Scoop" was first published, police, learning that it contained the story, swapped down and confiscated the entire issue. The publisher, however, confiscated the issue again. It sold like hot cakes. A representative of the AFRO-AMERICAN paid $1 for a copy. According to the "Scoop" story, George Robinson, bellman at the hotel where the white woman was also employed as switchboard operator, was shot to death by Deputy Sheriff W. Lonnie Ford, after the couple had been surprised in the nest. Robben, the officer, was shot shot when Robinson was taken within the confines of the jail. Admitted Relations Officials testified that Mrs. Miller, who is a brown haired woman with hazel eyes, 23 years of age, admitted that she had been intimate with Robinson on two occasions. She stated that the first time, she had gone out with him in an automobile while both were working at the hotel. The second time, she a stegro in the South Galatinet Hotel. It was at this place, that a constable, working on a tip, found the couple. When found, both were partially undressed and on a bed in the home. White Girls: Negro Men At this home, officers declared, according to the "Scoop," that white girls were accustomed to meet Negro men. Another girl, Billy Love, white, was found rooming at the home at the time Robinson and Mrs. Miller were arrested. Both women were lodged in jail as also was Henry Thomas, who was found there. George Miller, husband of the white woman found with Robinson, told the "Scoop" editor that he would institute divorce proceedings at once, but visited the jail both Thursday morning and afternoon to see his wife. She asked him to pay her fine, and during the morning visit, he gave her $1 worth of to buy cigarettes. When arranged in the court, Mrs. Miller pleaded guilty to a charge of "cohabiting with George Robinson on numerous occasions," and was fined $250 When she was told that Robinson had been shot to death, she gave out a cry and sobbed heavily for some time. She seemed to be more worried about his welfare than her own. Deputy Sheriff W. Lonnie Ford, who shot Robinson in a jail cell, has been exonerated and is being freely congratulated by many white traitors for killing a man who was a prime principle of white supremacy in all things." Many of them admit that Mrs. Miller is as much to blame as was Robinson, but they declare that Negroes in the South must learn that, regardless of whether the woman wanted him or not, or how she might be, if white, they must not touch her. They also said that attending to a few such women would help for them, and they would help their trades in hotels, consort with bellhops as a daily routine. Two Cases According to the top story, "white supersuit in South has been vindicated on two previous occasions when two Negro men, caught under like circumstances, were taken away from their dear Raymond, Miss, and mutilated.

Brown, white American machinist, charged with taking part in throwing a worker out of a Stalingrad tractor factory dining hall because he was a Negro, Soviet Russia acted with determination to halt any show of racial prejudice, here this week. The trouble at the tractor plant started several days ago when a small group of white American workers, said by Communists, have been trained by American imperialism, contained about the presence of a Negro worker at their table. When their complaints were ignored by the factory authorities they proceeded to throw the worker out. Protest Meetings The incident stirred the entire country, and protest meetings in thousands of factories made such a demand for the punishment of the white workers that authorities arrested Brown, who was the leader in the attack. In some of these factory groups drastic punishment was demanded by both male and female workers. Negro Prosecutor As a further show of determination that racial prejudice shall not be brought into the country by outsiders, the court appointed a Negro worker as assistant prosecutor of Brown. Under the Soviet penal code discrimination on account of race or color is made a serious criminal offense. The government has let it be known that no forms of jim crow or racial separation will be permitted in any establishment.

(Special to the AFRO-AMERICAN) WASHINGTON, D. C.— Who stole secret U.S. documents in Monrovia, Liberia, duplicated them and then made them public? The State Department here would like to know. Asked by the Liberian government whether the documents were authentic, the Department not only stamped them as forgeries but asked the Liberian government to find the criminals and punish them. The secret documents, stolen include a letter from Henry Carter, white, former charge d'affaires, who was replaced soon after the letter from into Liberian Department of Commerce into Liberian hands. According to Liberians, Carter's accord in Monrovia was indiscreet. "He talked too much." The second secret document to fall into Liberian hands was a copy of the alleged instructions of the State Department to U.S. Commissioner Charles S. Johnson, now in Liberia. So cautious and discreet that he is said to have avoided use with the cable to communicate with his driver. It is not known how Dr. Johnson's secret papers became public unless deliberate theft. It is pointed out that former Liberian government employees act as interpreters, stenographers, and typists, and librarians for the commission probing slavery and forced labor in Liberia, and these employees are based on many private papers of the commissioners. It is also pointed out that some of these employees were so close to President King of Liberia that all testimony given the commissioner was immediately available for the Président.

RESIGNATION OF CABINET LEAVES NO ALTERNATIVE Crisis Averted by Dr. Moton Recurs in Haitian Capital. COLVIN NAMED Island Refuses to Accept U.S. Educator By CARL MURPHY The failure of President Hoover to recall the nomination of Dr. Carl Colvin, white, as chief of the technical bureau of the Department of Agriculture of Haiti, caused the resignation of the entire Haitian cabinet last week. The crisis was precipitated on July 1. when the U.S. State Department announced that Colvin had been promoted. He had been assistant to George W. Bush, who then signed. Dr. Colvin had already moved his household effects into the former Freeman home in the hills of Petionville near Port au Prince. Damocles Vieux, Minister of Agriculture and Education in the cabinet of President Roy, to whom Colvin is subordinate, immediately objected and announced his resignation. The remainder of the cabinet agreed to walk out with Minister Vieux. Acting on his own initiative, Dr. P. R. Moton, heading the educational commission then in Haiti, succeeded in getting the cabinet to agree to withhold resignations until the commission had a chance to return to Washington and report to Mr. Hoover. Members of the commission were curious over the Colvin appointment. There was tab of resisting communication was severely condemned for making changes in the U.S. educational personnel in Haiti during the period that President Hoover had commissioners on the ground investigating educational affairs. Having waited over one month after the commission's return to Washington and Dr. Moton's conference with President Hover, without the nomination being withdrawn, the Haitian cabinet last week carried out its 42-day-old threat to resign. In addition, President Roe has advanced reservation as provisional president is also pending, because he will be unable to carry on the government without a ministry. Objections to Colvin Minister Vieux拼 with his subordinate, Dr. Colvin, during the later part of June when he discovered that the faculty of the summer school conducted by Dr. Colvin at Damien was nearly equal in size to the student body, and that American experts were drawing salaries of $350 to $600 a month for this work. Minister Damocles ordered the school at Damien closed July 1. Colvin appealed over the head of his chief to the U.S. State Department. Peeved by this insubordination, Minister Vieux, as chief of education and agriculture, demanded Colvin's resignation, declaring that Colvin had refused to obey orders. To the Moton Commission, Minister Vieux pointed out that Dr. Colvin and his ales who now get the budget of college—half the national budget for education, plan to wipe out all Haitian national schools and replace them with Americanized industrial schools, teaching trades and farming. The Colvin Plan Exposure of the Colvin plan to substitute industrial schools for the elementary and high schools, even in the capital when the school is in course of construction, angered the Haitian populace to madness. High Salaries Failed Experts The third objection to Dr. Colvin is the high salaries paid American experts, many of whom cannot speak the French language with fluency. The average pay of Haitian teachers ranges from $4 to $30 per month in rural sections, and from $30 to $70 in urban sections. The American "experts," draw eight to ten times this much from the Haitian treasury, despite their ability to speak, to speak with tropical agriculture, and their race prejudice against Haitians who are Negroes. Six Years of Colvin Since 1924 Colvin has been assistant director of the technical bureau (Service Technique) at $7,500 a year, plus gas and auto repairs, holds an M.S. in Business Administration, has which for Americans in Haiti, include many "trimming." High Salaries Other white Americans are drawing pay as follows: M. J.

Negro Society By EUGENE GORDON In Scribner's Magazine (Extracts) Last summer a friend of mine who is in the real estate business gave his charming daughter, teacher in a Boston graded school, in marriage to a youth who held a Phi Beta Kappa key and an A.B. from Dartmouth and a diploma from the Harvard Medical School. The wedding took place one-evening in a beautifully furnished cottagelike house near Boston, and everybody concerned owed allegiance to Afro-America. I noticed among the hundred and more guests lawyers of large and prosperous clientele, physicians and surgeons whose fees support these gentlemen in affluence, a waiter from the Parker House, a brilliant young pianist, two commercial artists, a chauffeur for a white business man; students and graduates of Harvard Wellesley. Tufts, Radcliffe. Dartmouth, Fisk, Howard, and Simmons. a red cap on his Stuart. a Pullman man and his dangower wife, two stenographers, several girls of flapper type employed in the civil war, an ox-policeman's wife, a cook for a family of North Shore Nordics, a half-dozen school teachers, two officers of the National Guard, a newspaper editor, a banker, and a miscellany of post-office workers. Every one was dressed, of course strictly a la mode. The conversation was appropriate to the occasion. And the presents, which filled a small room up-stairs, were typical of those usually given newlyweds. In short, the scene was a representative one in today's Afro-American society. More important, it was representative too of seen's rapidly ceasing to exist. Negro society is becoming more discriminating of those who compose it. Represen' achievement. The observation is frequently made that in Negro society one may find the barber seated beside the bank-president. This is true, but the reason is obvious and near at hand. The most exalted men and women in these colored United States represent the best of the best in any few instances. A black banker is not such through inheritance, but through personal achievement. His father was not a banker but a butler, while his mother scrubbed to help out. That is why, in any large gathering of Afro-American elite, the sheep are found rubbing noiseless goats. The goats and the goats are there is that they could not be separated from the sheep. The goat just happens to be the big ram's father or brother or some other close relative. Washington City, the Social Capital Washington is the social capital of the Negro race. Social celebrities from all over the country find fulfillment of their highest ambition to shine at some great function in the national capital. . . . The houses these aristocrats occupy are well built and imposing, but old. Inside, examination would reveal most of them to be overrun with cockroaches and mice. Not one of this gentry owns a house built for his own use. They are all content merely to chase out the harassed Nordic and to grab what he leaves. Some of the most annoyed of these men are burning more so than real-estate operations. Many lawyers and some doctors are turning realtors, but they are no losing caste thereby. They purchase the deserted mansions lately occupied by Klansman's families and sell them for double and treble their worth to such of their own race as will pay the prices. Capital City Matrons Mostly Snabbish. Most of the matrons of the Washington set are ludicrously snobbish—but so are the men. A majority of the women too possess Cuscanian charm, and almost a requisite. It is an invaluable asset in a town where rests the center of government of all the people, and where the congressmen and the senators spend their overtime thinkings and days to humiliate the upright darkies. So the matron of the smart colored set, with her fair skin and inside of the gentleman from Arkansas in Keith's or dines opposite him at the Mayflower, or even relieves him of his seat in a trolley, since these gentlemen, any circumcised, see a "white" woman stand in a public conveyance. The experiences encountered thus by the Afro-American elite serve as morsels for gossip at many a bridge game, or informal lupine hippop Some of the most conspicuous of the male members of society are conspicuous because they use their fair-knitted ladies. It is not nearly so important that the man be "passable" as that the woman be "passable" as that the woman be anybody at all, may climb to the very top of the social ladder; this is seldom true with respect to the woman. The woman in every society is more ambitious than the man. *Struggle for "Standard"* Not Mere Imitation. In this country the dominating group has set a standard of beauty, and it is the steadfast conviction of every woman, be she white or non-white, that she must conform to it. The pathetic attempt of the darker women to bleach the skin and to straighten the hair. Submerged in a group of a hundred million, the colored woman feels that her salvation lies in being as nearly WASHINGTON. — Mrs. Ernestine Taylor Williams, 18-year-old wife, was granted a final decree of annulment of her marriage to Leonard Leesport, Pa., by Justice William Hiltz in equity court last Monday. The suit brought by Mrs. Gertrude Taylor for her daughter was uncontested. Only 14 Years At the time of her marriage September 2, 1928. Mrs Taylor was only 14 years old. Her mother alleged in the petition for annulment of the marriage that the defendant took advantage of her daughter's tender advice to avoid prosecution for alleged statutory offenses. Immediately after the marriage ceremony, the bride was deserted. Mrs. Williams was granted a rite of marriage. Attorney J. Franklin Wilson represented the plaintiff. The Nation's Biggest All-Negro Weekly as possible like the women for whom fashionis are designed and beauty cults maintained. It is a question of survival, not one of simple imitation; as a matter of fact, it is not imitation at all, but conformity with the customs of their country. An important ingredient of the Afro-American social melange in Washington is the coterie of lawyers holding public office. In former years these have included the Register of the Treasury; today they are the recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia; a judge of the municipal court, and an assistant to the attorney-general. The acknowledged leaders of colored society in Washington now are Congressman and Mrs. Oscar DePriest, of Chicago. It might be supposed that the Haitian minister to the United States would be a ringleader in Washington colored society; that emphasis on the importance of not be welcomed; society has more than once made invitatory gestures in his direction. But, being observant of the situation that obtains between the Free the Haitian minister and the Free the Haitian minister knows that if he ever crossed the social line into Afro-America he would find difficulty in returning. This is so, despite the ugly truth that the cultural level has been lowered, it is flush with that to which the Haitian minister and his family are accredited. Therefore, that gentleman steers clear, accepting invitations from colored society in the open, is publicly in the open, like the inauguration, for example, of Howard University's colored president. The Haitian minister was present at that event; but so we see the Secretary and the Secretary of the interior. About twelve years ago. Maurice Menos, son of the dark-skinned Solon Menos, at that time minister from Haiti, eloped to Los Angeles, a daughter of a socially ambitious white family from Virginia. Colored Washington gasped: clasped its hands, and then she disappeared beyond the usual when a member of the diplomatic corps takes an American wife. The couple got the usual amount of newspaper space, and the young woman got into the school. The point is that colored Washington considered it a sort of personal triumph; but, of course, it was nothing of the sort. If young Menos bore toward colored Washington any interest than indifference, no one saw it. Doctors and Lawyers, Top Schoolteachers Next. Below the doctors and the lawyers come the school teachers. Some of the most beautiful women of the country are undoubtedly to be found teaching in Washington or to serve in Negro women. Of a lower social order, many of them graduate into the upper strata by getting married to doctors and lawyers. They make excellent matrons and dowagers, often pleasely married to whom the society gentleman married because they were pretty. The government workers and the menials are the mainstay for the upper crust, the former, of course, being away out of sight above the driver. As for the washerwomen, the cart-drivers, the elevator-operators, and the other essential but thoroughly snubbed matched to do well in the gentlemen's contentment. They have few if any complaints to make. Now and then their may be stirred by the supercilious behavior of an erstwhile associate who, being pretty, has captured a doctor or a lawyer. They so forgive her and rejoice fortune. It means progress when even one succeeds in scaling the heights. It means that the man's 'ok's every day' and 'no' doesn't. I assure you, in a world where white is the badge of the redeemed and black that of the damned, where snobbery and class distinctions add tinsel richness to the world, we wear shipped—that, I say, is something to aspire to! And as goes Washington so goes the rest of it. WASHINGTON, D.C. Real Estate Lo John W. C BROD 907 You Street, Nor Quick Reasona Phone, N VACATION WASHINGTON, D.C.

There were no graduation exercises at the close of the session, but did not have any candidates for degrees, and their names will appear on the official program for 1931, with the indication that the committee would complete all of the summer program.

JANITOR HOGTIED Cashier Finds Man Bound with Bailing Wire. WASHINGTON: A man who trussed up a bank janitor with baling wire, brandished two automatic revolvers threateningly while his face was blackened with soot and his hat pulled over his eyes, was only playing a joke, Judge R. E. "Tattingly was told Saturday morning in Police Court. "Jesse James is not dead yet," said the judge as he ordered Leroy Cooper, 25, of 26th and P Streets, held under $25,000 bond as a bank bandit suspect, after Cosmo Boyd, victim of the "joke" testified. Bowd testified that he was tending a surface Thursday morning at 7 o'clock in the Potomac Savings Bank when he heard a voice ordering him to hold us his hands. Turning he saw Cooper, a former janitor of the same bank, with two revolvers leveled at him. Boyd stated that the man made him help in trussing his legs, and then tied hands behind his back. Then he furnished a furnace and smeared soot over his face, and resumed his vigil over him. Found by Cashier C. W. Shoemaker, white, cashier of the C. W. Shoemaker, white, cashier of the told the judge he noticed that something was wrong by the appearance of the doors when he went to work shortly after 8 o'clock. On investigation, he told the Court, he found Cooper standing over Boyd in the basement. Feeling somewhat frightened he began to joke with the armed man, he stated. After asking the armed man what it was all about, Cooper told him that he was just playing a joke. Shoemaker told the court that Cooper nicely gave him the two automatics when he told him that he might hurt someone with them. Boyd was unoclosed, officers of the Seventh Precinct notified, and Cooper was arrested. *Hid in Bank all Night* The suspect did not testify at the hearing, but according to police records, Cooper stated he was trance into the building.

Lester Goddard white, 33, of Fourth and H Streets, nw, was picked from the sidewalk in front of 428 I Street unconscious after one of a group of colored men is said to have struck him. Mosely did not make a statement at the court, but according to records of the Sixth Precinct, he stated that he had warned Goddard to stay from his home when the man came there drunk and abusive. Goddard left but returned shortly with another white man; Frank Pearce, the man was resumed. Goddard is said to have struck Mosely, who retaliated.

Pearce would not say that Goddard had been drinking, but an autopsy revealed that the contents of the stomach were alcoholic. The death of the man was held due to a fractured skull when his head struck the pavement. Only Renewed Respect for Law Can Save the Country Former U.S. Assistant Attorney General Wm. H. Lewis says Dry Law is Worst U.S. Law—Worse Even than the Fugitive Slave Law. Eighteenth Amendment Aids Rich, Changes Method of Taxation, and is Cause of Unemployment. Address delivered by William H. Lewis, former Assistant Attorney General of the United States, before the National Bar Association, meeting in Washington, D.C. (Stenographically Reported for the AFRO) (Washington Bureau of the AFRO) estimated that, in the ten years of prohibition, that the nation has lost in revenues nearly a billion dollars; plus the cost of enforcement of over one hundred and fifty million dollars. "We need a government more responsive to public opinion. The token "In an age when wealth, luxury, and leisure seem to be the general desire, the law furnishes the only curb to human greed, passion, and delinquency. In an age when the authority of revealed religion has been much weakened, and the restraints of the old moralsites seem also to be passing, a renewed respect for law may alone save civilization. "The lawyer must come to the aid of the priest. If the minister is supposed by some to be the friend of sinners, so is the lawyer. "I want to interest you on this occasion in a theme—The Conflict of Laws. "I do not mean by conflict of laws, that body of private and international law dealing with the enforcement in one jurisdiction of the rights and status of an individual created in another, but with the real conflict of laws in the world, the conflict between man-made laws, natural laws and economic laws. "Before there was a lawgiver, or legislature, or courts of justice, there were natural laws, unrecognized, that controlled the conduct of men. With the organization of men into society and the development of the idea of property, economic laws came into play, still further affecting the actions of individuals. "Before the first sumptuary law was thought of, or a pure food and drug act, men ate and drank. It was a law of man's nature essential to life itself. The fear of hunger and thirst not only modified his ideas of right and wrong, but affected his conduct. 18th Amendment a Problem "I wish to point out the application of those laws to the great problem agitating the American people today, to wit, the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment, and the stamping out as far as possible of organized crime in America. "Assume for the sake of argument, that the liquor traffic is the cause and source of poverty, disease, and crime on the one hand, and assume that prohibition is an invasion of individual liberty, the right of a free man to choose his own 'poison', yet it is a serious question as to whether it was wise legislation. New Type of Politician "The Eighteenth Amendment has produced a new type of politician and statesman—the time server and the popularity hunter. The old theory that the legislator had a right to follow the dictates of his own conscience and intelligence, has passed away. The new theory is, that the legislator must avoid all opposition, cater to every prejudice, and just a step ahead of the mob. Church Influence Did It "The Eighteenth Amendment was an adventure in moral legislation, placed upon the statue books largely by church influence, directed by lay organizations which rightly believed that the open saloon was the source of many evils. "It was revolutionary in character and changed the whole form of government. It was class legislation of the most objectionable character, affecting the poor man, not the rich. "The worker's economic efficiency was not to be impaired by a few hours of relaxation, the enjoyment of a jigger of whiskey, or a glass of beer, but the rich employer could obtain all he wanted of cognac and champagne. Amendment is Police Legislation "The Eighteenth Amendment was police legislation, extending over an era of three and three-fourths millions of square miles, and over a population of one hundred and twenty-three millions of people. "Forty years ago a committee of fifty distinguished men found that eighty per cent of the population were consumers of intoxicating liquor. What the percentage is today, has not been estimated. It is safe to say, however, that if the total abstainers abstain more, the drinkers drink more, because of the perversity of human nature which revolts at restraints upon personal liberty. "I have no sympathy with the old liquor dealer and his victim—the inebriate. Custom is stronger than law. A habit necessarily deserves secretes, such as the curings of the seite. The desire creates a demand, and a demand creates a sumply. Millions Out of Work "The Eighteenth Amendment put out of employment nearly a million and a half people who were employed in liquor making and allied industries. It has been estimated that there are at least that many people employed and at least two or three million more. "Grain valued at fourteen million dollars per annum was used in the liquor industry. "The Farm Relief Bill can furnish only temporary relief for the farmer. Legislation cannot change the laws of political economy. "Suppose a law were passed for bidding women from using rouge or wearing sleeves above their or, from smoking cigarettes. Such a law might be passed upon the grounds of health as well as morals, but could it be enforced? Constitution Nullified "One half of the house says to the other: You enforce the 14th and 18th Amendments' (but not very loud). The other says 'You support the 18th Amendment.' Both will finally consent to nullification. That is simply another way of amending the Constitution. "The problems of crime and punishment are difficult because of our human natures. The mere multiplication of criminal laws that are in conflict with natural and economic laws cannot help. Competitors in illegal traffic, not protected by law, take the law into their own hands. Worst U.S. Law "No law placed upon American statute books ever weakened respect for law so much as the Volstead Act, not even the Fugitive Slave Law. The by-products of the act are official corruption, petty graft, and gang warfare. It has been es- The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, August 23, 1930 timated that, in the ten years of prohibition, that the nation has lost in revenues nearly a billion dollars; plus the cost of enforcement of over one hundred and fifty million dollars. We need a government more responsive to public opinion. The burden of taxation should be taken from the backs of people by restoring the customs and internal revenues which in the past have run the government. The millions that are enriching our neighbors should at home to furnish employment for our citizens. We have free trade in liquor without taxation and without regulation. "The subject of prohibition is charged with human passions, prejudice and partisanship, but it is the duty of the lawyer to discuss it lessly. We should step aside on such an occasion as the fright the things which are obscuring the questions which are absorbing the minds and the hearts of all the people of the country. It must be decided for weal or woe by them." FINES PLENTIFUL IN D.C. TRAFFIC COURT FINES PLENTIFUL IN D.C.

Caused Husband to Lose $81,000 A. MRS. LUTHER MANUEL The tiny dart of Cupid's bow paralyzed the heart of pretty and bewitching Thelma Bozeman, accomplished music teacher of Elliott Academy, Valiant, Okla. June 25, when she became the wife of Luther Manuel, wealthy Creek freedman, reputed to be worth a million dollars. The wedding took place just one day following the legal date when young Manuel could marry, following his divorce from his recent wife, Louise I ♥ Moore, of Kansas City. The beautiful and palatial new home at 11th and Dennison, Muskogee, and farm which Louise Fay carried by court order more than $10,000 worth of household effects, has been recently returned. Muskogee seems to have no carry the flash and gaudy appearance of Louise's retreat. The music teacher seems, according to statements, to have more tasteful and refined nooks. "You caused me to lose $1,000 by not marrying me when I asked you," Luther is alleged to have said to his new bride, just as soon as he had lived past the day limit required by law; and Thelma, as she looked at her girlhood sweetheart, said, "Yes, Luther, and I'm sorry."

The pair were ship-wrecked the divorce court last year, which ended in time Louise filed a suit which ended in her $2,000.

Invisible African Princes See Garvey (Special to the AFRO-AMERICAN) KINGSTON, Jamica.-The visit of two African princes to Honorable Marcus Garvey, provisional president of Africa and head of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, is still a mystery to the natives of the island. For the past six weeks a series of articles have appeared in the Blackman, a weekly paper managed by Mr. Garvey. The two African princes will be the royal guests of Mr. Garvey. The main object of their visit, as stated by this paper, was to induce Mr. Garvey to visit Africa, for the purpose of assisting the downrotten of the country. The climax was reached on Saturday, August 2, when an article was published in the Blackman under the heading: "Princes from Africa Said 6.000 Pack Park On Sunday night Edelweiss Park was packed to its utmost capacity. A gathering of the children needed for the specific purposes of getting the two princes. After the usual U.N.I.A. ceremonies had been completed and the service dismissed, the members and wishers flocked to Garvey's office and Garvey's office with their steel-eyes in an attempt to see the princes who were supposed to be inside; nevertheless, it was all a failure. Presently Mr. Garvey came strutting down the staircase followed by his seated brother entered his motor and drove home. The lights were soon turned off. Fully one hour later some of the well wishers and members were found dodging around the park, believing that the were in the office and leave did not wait. They did not and have never been seen by anybody on the island.

Your skin troubles will respond quickly to this combination treatment, used according to directions, because the "special" soap thoroughly cleanses the pores and the ointment heals irritated tissues. More than that, this treatment—mildly astringent and bleaching—refines the skin's texture and lightens the complexion—makes it clearer and fairer in tone. WASHINGTON. (ANP)—There is no such thing as a Negro gangster, delegates to the annual convention of the National Bar Association which was held here, were told by Assistant State's Attorney Euclid Taylor. Mr. Taylor represented his superior, Judge John A. Swanson state's attorney of Cook County, Illinois, who had been asked to address the lawyers on crime in Chicago and the Negro's relation thereto "Crime conditions in Chicago, while tortures, are greatly exaggerated," emended Taylor. Chicago 36th in Crime In support of that demurrier, he read from statistics compiled by the Prudential Life Insurance Company, and issued in a report of the Chilago Association of Commerce, which showed that Chicago, instead of leading the country in homicides, was 36th. Chicago's homicide rate is 127 per 100,000. But Memphis, which shows a rate of 100; Augusta, 54.7 per 100,000; Birmingham, Alabama, 31.3 per 100,000, and Jackson, Fla., 46.9 per 100,000. Chicago's homicide rate was reduced three per cent from 1928 to 1929, and the 1929 rate was only slightly higher than the average for the country as a whole. According to Mr. Taylor, who has made a special study of the Negro's connection with crime, there is no such thing known to the law-enforcement agencies of Chicago as a Negro minister. The aid of deliberate mursal for profit" asserted the prosecutor "the Negro is unknown." Labor Blamed is exact relationship between economic status and crime, so far as the issue is concerned, has been discussed by the served state. To show that the Negro who was born in Chicago or who has lived there a sufficient length of time to adjust himself economically, displays a minimum of criminal activity with the criminal Negro is almost entirely with the group which has migrated from the south, which is unable sometimes, either because of lack of opportunity or because of economic itself to the new and more economic conditions. "An analysis of the statistics for crime during the past twelve years," said Mr. Taylor, "shows that when the labor market is weak, we go to diminish, and that they increase when that me-ket tightens." Mr. Taylor also implied that the Negro finds himself important in the city's crime statistics because of difficulty present in giving him a fair trial. Little Difficulty The Negro criminal faces the rapidly moving courts of Chicago without friends, or funds, and with a record of unemployment upon which are cast no friendly glances. Mr. Taylor explained. "The dread of facing the court, the crowd room pauses, the unfriendly spectators, and a jury of whites, cause his friends to be reluctant to appear a testify in his behalf."

Gets Under Texas Editor's Skin NEW YORK.—The successful counter-propaganda by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to efforts made by Texas whites to end the English ban on African-American tuition at Sherman, on May 9th of George Hughes, has stirred the white editor of a Corpus Christi, Texas paper. The editor suggests that "Somebody the NAACP," the hands and gently lead them out into the Atlantic Ocean, leaag the good white people and the good Negro people of the South to work out the problem, because they have done for a hundred years and can continue to do." Defeat Sheriff who Permitted Lynching GHICKASHA, Okla. (ANP) - Negroes of this city went to the polls Tuesday and buried the political hopes of Sheriff Matt Sankey, white, who for ten years has held this county in the palm of his hand. The action of the Negro voters was occasioned by the sheriff's dereliction of duty when Henry Argo, a half-niece of Sheriff Matt Sankey, held him as one of those chiefly responsible and voted as a unit against him. Sankey's deputies were aware that a fight was being made against him in the Advancement of Colored People and the Black Dispatch of Oklahoma City. They invaded the Negro precincts and sought to invoke the tests against black voters. They further intimated that if black voters did not support Sankey, he would visit reprisals on them for the remainder of his present term. None the tricks or threats had any effect. The better class white people who did not do his duty, joined with the Negroes in turning him out of office, then an autocratic sway of a decade. Fewer Diseases this Year, Statistics Show A large decline in the number of cases of communicable disease cases in comparison with records of last year, was reported by officials of the health department in their weekly mortality statistics, this week. According to the records there were 248 cases in 2014 with 43 deaths during the corresponding week of last year while there was only a total of 182 cases, and 48 deaths as a result, this week. The decrease is due mostly to the drop in the number of cases this year in comparison to the small epidemic which was prevalent last year. As in a previous statement, tuberculosis was given as the cause for the largest number with 16. while pneumonia was a close friend of tuberculosis, the first time in a year, simple meningitis caused the death of one person.

Negro Democrats at Illinois Convention GHICAGO, Ill. (ANP)—Under the leadership of Bryant A. Hammond, president of the Fifth Ward West End Democratic Club, thirty representatives of the Democratic party, attended left here Tuesday morning to attend the State Democratic Convention. This, according to reports, represented the first time in the history of the party in Illinois that an organized and functioning group of Democratic candidates participated in the working of the Democratic group.

Other prominent Democrats of Cook County, who have taken an active interest in the development of the Democratic include the Cermak. It was brought into being, according to Mr. Hammond, through an idea on the part of National Committeeman John Negroes and the Democratic active part in uping the Democratic party in the State of Illinois if they were given the same consideration and accorded the same privileges of participation when to every other American citizen. The organization has elaborate headquarters at Igoe Hall, 5538 Indiana Avenue, which was purchased for the use of the organization and civic development.

THOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER (1905) According to a news item published in one of the daily papers, the colored people of Wicomico County have resolved that they will not desire to hold office until such time as the white folks desire that they should. We have often heard of self-abnegation, but this becomes more apparent that line we have come to accept. The Negroes of Wicomico County may do as they choose, but as far as our influence may extend, it will never be to give up one lota of our rights. The right to hold office goes with the right to vote, and whether we hold office or not, we desire the right to do so and we do not We have often heard of self-abnegation, but this beats anything in that line we have come across. The Negroes of Wicomico County may do as they choose, but as far as I can extend it, we will have to give up one iota of the right. The right to hold office goes with the right to vote, and whether we hold office or not, we desire the right to do so and we do not propose to give it up. The writer has no particular hankering after office, and it would take a pretty good offer to get him out of his den, but we want the right to do so, we have the desire, and the office we want to work. The Negroes of Wicomico County need have no fear, the white folks will never give them any office voluntarily, whether they vote or not so long as there is a dollar in sight. Hold on to that and every other right. A man who will not fight for his rights has no business them, and any right, he would voluntarily give up the rights conferred upon him by the Constitution of the United States, is less than a man. Editor and Publisher, 1892-1922. The Church Meddles The white Christian church, so lacking in real Christianity, took a step forward last week. Sixty bishops of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States were among the thr. e hundred and six who sat for five weeks in conference at Lambeth Palace in London and finally passed seventy resolutions averaging one thousand words each. Sixty bishops of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States were among the thr. e hundred and six who sat for five weeks in conference at Lambeth Palace in London and finally passed seventy resolutions averaging one thousand words each. Two of these resolutions refer to colored people. One of them, believed to have direct reference to India, recites: "The ruling of one race by another can only be justified when the highest welfare of the subject race is the constant aim of the government when admission to an increasing share in the government of the country is the objective steadfastly pursued." So far, so good. A second resolution refers to the United States where black and white Christians must be segregated in churches. In part, this resolution declares: "The conference affirms the conviction that all communicants, without distinction of race or color, should have access to any kind of religious education that nobody should be excluded from worship in any church on account of color or race. Further, it urges that where, owing to diversity of language or custom, Christian education should be apart, special occasions should be sought for united services and corporate communion in order to witness the unity of the body of Christ, conference affirms that the guiding principle of racial relations should be interdependence, though this interdependence does not of itself involve intermarriage. The realization in practice of human brotherhood requires that race toward one another, cooperation in the study of racial relations and values and complete avoidance of any exploitation of weaker members of the community in the liquor traffic among the native Africas and enforced labor for private profit." The above resolution not only approves interracial Sunday, an institution which has had widespread vogue under the direction of the Federal Council of Churches, but it sanctions the mixed churches of the Northern States. In many communities where Negroes are few they have joined white churches and attended for several generations. After giving such a good bucket of milk, the bishop skipped it all over in one sentence (above in which it is assorted that race relations and human brotherhood should mean interdependence but not intermarriage. Where real brotherhood is, there exist no bans, interdictions or "thou-shalt-nots." It is only Christian brotherhood which feels that it can function only so long as the races remain socially separate, forgetting that interracial intermarriages are essential to mutual consent of living parties. If they agree, it is their personal affair, with which neither the state, the church nor the devil has any mandate to interfere.

Abyssinia Beckons the U.S. President Hoover who has named a white ambassador to Haiti and a white charge d'affaires to Liberia, last week named an all-white delegation to attend the coronation of Ras Tafari, emperor of Abyssinia, on October 2. The new ambassador is Mr. Herman M. Jacoby, 38, white, a banker, who became a naturalized American. Banker Jacoby is to be accompanied by Brigadier General W. W. Harts of the Part's embassy (the officials of Abyssinia speak French) and Mr. Charles L. Cook, ceremonial officer of the State Department, who will advise Banker Jacoby whether and when to wear spats with morning coat and when to wear a high hat. President Hoover who has named a white ambassador to Haiti and a white charge d'affaires to Liberia, last week named an all-white delegation to attend the coronation of Ras Tafari, emperor of Abyssinia, on October 2. The new ambassador is Mr. Herman M. Jacoby, 38, white, a banker, who became a naturalized American ten years ago, to be accompanied by Brigadier General W. W. Harris of the Pi'aj embassy (the officials of Abyssinia speak French) and Mr. Charles L. Cook, ceremonial officer of the State Department, who will advise Banker Jacoby whether and when to wear spats with morning coat and when to wear a high hat. The size of this delegation is not due to the regard of the United States for the new emperor to be descended from Solomon and the Queen Sheba. Much smaller delegations were sent to recent conventions in Persia and Japan. The situation is that the J. G. White Company of New York, has a contract to erect a dam across the Nile in Abyssinia, and Uncle Sam's delegates will be expected to advise Abyssinia how to finance it. The U.S. marines (General Fuller) took off of finances in Santo Domingo and nearly bankrupted John Russell did not do much better, in Haiti. With the failure of the military as financiers, President Hoover evidently feels that private bankers will do better, so Banker Jacoby gets t.c. call with the understanding that financial and educational experts from the U.S. will also follow him to Abyssinia. Arrangement with our hands on Abyssinia, the United States, the most indebted nation in the world will despite the K.K.K. and its lynching record, virtually control every Independent Negro country of the world. Hoover Should Recall Dr. Colvin from Haiti While President Hoover's commission was in Haiti surveying educational conditions, the United States State Department with little tact and interest for the commissioners, announced the promotion of Dr. Carl Colvin, white, formerly assistant to the directorship of this U.S. educational and agricultural service (Service Technique) in Haiti. President Hoover's commissioners were insulted enough to resign on the spot. They carried on because they believed that Mr. Hoover himself knew nothing of this appointment, and that it was put over by the blundering State Department at the instigation of the American clique in Haiti, who have kept the island in turmoil for the past fifteen years. If educational matters had not needed investigation, as Mr. Colvin suggested, certainly no changes in policy or promotions and appointment needed to be carried out until after the commissioners had reported. Haiti objected to paying Dr. Colvin a salary of $12,500 a year when many Haitian teachers are getting only $4 a month. Under the treaty, Dr. Colvin was subject to the Haitian Commissioner of Education, whom he affronted and disregarded to such an extent that this much harrassed official, M. Damoles Vieux, announced his resignation from the cabinet if President Roy confirmed Dr. Colvin's appointment. Other matters that the cabinet likewise agreed to do If Dr. Colvin came in President Roy, unwilling to form a new cabinet, declared his intention also to resign. This crisis came about while the U.S. commissioners were still in Haiti. The chairman, Dr. R. R. Moton, asked for delay until the commission could return home and make a report. The commission has been in the U.S. for several weeks, Dr. Moton has made his unofficial report to the President and his official survey nears completion. Dr. Colvin's appointment may have been made without knowledge of President Hoover. The resignation of the Haitian cabinet just last week and the report of the Moton Commission make it impossible for the President to remain longer unpaid.

Dr. Moton has made his unofficial report to the President and his official survey reports completion. Dr. Colvin's appointment may have been made without knowledge of President Hoover. The resignation of the Haitian cabinet just last week and the report of the Moton Commission make it impossible for the President to remain longer in ignorance. Dr. Colvin ought never have been appointed. That was a mistake and a blunder which President Hoover can undo by recalling the appointment as suggested by President Roy. Our Share in the White House Last year when Dixie ran amuck because Mrs. Hoover entertained Mrs. Oscar DePriest, wife of the Illinois Congressman, at a White House tea, the President is said to have taken offense at a remark imputed to Mr. DePriest who, he thought, should have made no comment. The Congressman was reported as saying that he didn't "understand why there should be so much hubbub, since Mrs. DePriest was after all quite as respectable as the First Lady." Whether or not Mr. DePriest made the remark which vexed the President, the incident of the White House Tea party remains a subject from which the Congressman draws many a laugh as he speaks over the country.

Last week at Newport News, Virginia, Mr. DePriest said: "There was a lot of fuss raised about my wife being entertained in the White House. Well, one-tenth of the buildings belongs to us and my wife didn't occupy near that much space." At this sally some five hundred Virginians laughed heartily and President Hoover, if he is still sensitive, must be vexed again. Secret Documents Exclusive publication in the AFRO-AMERICAN of certain documents on Liberia termed forgeries by the State Department in Washington, proclaimed a situation here and Washington, the International Commission investigating slavery is still in Liberia with Dr. Charles S. Johnson as the U.S. member. The documents which the AFRO printed were passed from hand to hand in Monrovia, and became the subject of a note from Secretary Stimson urging the Liberian government to find and punish the forgers. As pointed out in the news dispatches reaching the AFRO from Liberia, the secret documents, though forged, are near enough to the original to be assayed as 80 per cent authentic. The first document purports to be a report of the U.S. charge d'affaires, a white to white, of Liberia. Liberia reports that Mr. Carter liked evening celebrations too strongly so that it is not unlikely that Liberian wines persuaded him to relax ordinary precautions and talk too much. The second document, alleged to be a copy of Washington's Instructions to Dr. Charles S. Johnson, makes public certain statements which not only embarrass England, France and Liberia, but lead to the question whether Secretary Stimson's aides used good judgment in putting such expressions on paper. Unlike Mr. Charles close-mouthed and discredit his private wines no wine, but nevertheless, his private papers fell into the hands of the Liberians and made their way back across the Atlantic to the columns of the AFRO-AMERICAN. Exclusive publication in the AFRO-AMERICAN of certain documents on Liberia termed forgeries by the State Department in Washington, provided a sensation here inasmuch as the International Commission investigating slavery is still in Liberia with Dr. Charles S. Johnson as the U.S. member. The documents which the AFRO printed were passed from hand to hand in Monrovia, and became the subject of a note from Secretary Stimson and a Liberian government to fend and punish the forgers. As pointed out in the news dispatches reaching the AFRO from Liberia, the secret documents, though forged, are near enough to the original to be assayed as 90 per cent authentic. The first document purports to be a report of the U.S. charge d'affaires, Henry Carter, white, to the State Department here. Liberia reports that Mr. Carter elicited evening celebrations too strongly so that it is not unlikely that Liberian wines persuaded him to relax ordinary precautions and talk too much. The second document, alleged to be a copy of Washington's instructions to Dr. Charles S. Johnson, told certain statements which not only embarrass England, France and Liberia, but lead to the question whether Secretary Stimson's aides used good judgment in putting such expressions on paper. Unlike Mr. Carter, close-mouthed and discreet Dr. Johnson drank no wine, but nevertheless, his private papers fell into the hands of the Liberians and made their way back across the Atlantic to the columns of the AFRO-AMERICAN. It is difficult to think that Uncle Sam muddles diplomacy as the allegedly forbidden Liberian documents indicates, but under present circumstances no other view is tenable. $5,000 for a Life A Baltimore woman's offer to sell her life for $3,000 to a physician or a hospital for experimental purposes is likely to be accepted. Medical science finds animals much cheaper for experimentation and vivisection. In quiet moments, Mrs. John DeSayles probably has no desire to have her body inoculated with strange germs, or serve as the subject of an experiment to discover how many organs may be removed before she succumbs. What Mrs. DeSayles wants is the apprehension of the man who murdered her sister and nephew. Her willingness to sacrifice her life for this purpose is an excellent method of advertising the shortcomings of the Pikeville and Baltimore police departments. Public attention has been directed to the crime which may result in a renewed search and the capture of the criminal.

EUGENE WILLIAMS With death I have a tyrning place,— Oft when the night is come; I view the ending of my race, And sigh for home, sweet home. Along the silent misty strand, love awhile, death, And sigh I loved ones in that Land— Blest harbor of the soul. I greet the disembdied saints Beyond the silvery sea, Awaiting those whose days are spent. They now are beckoning me. The boatman pale is drawing near, I wish in the hand, No enemy have I to fear, Behold, my Pilot stands! For me to live is Jesus Christ, For me to die is gain. By angel's hands white sails are hoist, Im near my journey's end. Farewell, cool, inconstant sails, I shall when fluttering sails are furled Reach Gaanan's happy shore. "Fade, fade each earthly joy." I sing, Oh, Jesus, thou art mine! My weared soul to thee I bring, My soul to you. Challenges DePriest Statement that Aristocrat are Best Friends of the Negro.

WYATT DOUGHERTY. 2200 12th-st., nw., Washington, D.C. Radical L. F. Coles Would Like to See all the Gold Star Mothers Who Go to France Drowned. To the Editor: I have always been in more or less agreement with the editors of the AFRO-AMERICAN, and even when I do not agree with them I can always console myself by saying that they are written and provoke me, however, the editor advises us the current issue in which the authors mention that the Gold Star Mothers are not to be too severely criticized for going to France jim crow, but in other words Hoover should be criticized and in 1832 be defeated, one that I am certain I will not be able to edit. I like the editorial which appeared some weeks ago under the caption, "More than Shame," which, after reading some fifty editors of both white and colored papers, I wrote to the AFRO stating that the editor had people not remember until 1832. Already all the mothers are saying that they had a good time and that they are glad that they went, and Col. B. O. Davis, a jim crow colonel, who is in a jim crow school when he should be traveling in Sonoma America, was way Cheatam, the secretary had charge of the boat and Secretary Patrick J. Hurley of the War Department, a cracker from Oklahoma, suggested they should, for their comfort. Had I read that all of the colored Gold Star Mothers in Mississippi I would have been as I was when I read in the papers some time ago that James K. Vardaman, former governor and senator from Mississippi had died, for I considered Vardaman an enemy to the Negroes, and the Gold Star Mothers and sons who give the white people comfort by making excuses, are enemies also, and I hate all oneness. L. F. COLES. I have always been in more or less agreement with the editors of the AFRO-AMERICAN, and even when I do not agree with them I can always console myself by saying that the written and provoke the issue, though however, the editorialists assert that the Gold Star Mothers are not to be too criticized for going to France jim crowed, but in other words Hoover should be criticized and in 1932 be defeated, is one that I am certainly not in agreement. It does not work so well which apperches works ago under the caption, "More than Shame", which after reading some fifty editors of both white and colored papers, wrote to the AFRO stating that it was the best editorial that had come under my observation. Colored people cannot be ignored. In 1932, already saying that they had time and that they are glad that they went, and B. Col. B. O. Davis, a jim crow colonel, who is in a jim crow school when he should be traveling in South America, Japan or some European country like other colonels, said that he didn't believe the Gold Star Mothers could have been the Klu Klux Klan organization in accord with the Gold Star Mothers. They had a good time because they went the way Cheatman, the cracker who had charge of the boot and Secretary Partick J. Hurley of the War Department, a cracker from Alabama, suggested they should move. Had I read that all of the colored Gold Star Mothers had been crowned I would have been as happy as I was, and I would have been as happy as that James K. Vardman, former governor and senator from Mississippi died, for I considered Vardman an enemy to the Negroes, and the Gold Star Mothers an enemy to the white people comfort by making excuses, are enemies also, and I hate all enemies.

Sixteen years ago a prominent white judge who was addressing a group of members of the N.A.A.C. suggested that M.E. Church in Joldee, violence in America and particularly the South, said the jurist: "What you people should do when you know a mob is forming a lynch a member of your race, is to send a number of men to different sections of the town where the lynching is going to take place and set fire to the white people's homes. Also suggest that every Negro buy a gun, and even though the whites outnumber you, if you kill a few several times they will not be so eager to lynch your people."

To the Editor: My blood boiled last Sunday when at the dinner table of an aristocratic host I listened to a young chap—very brilliant—challenge a minister on prohibition in favor of the wets. He stated that the young people should do as much as possible to Dwight W. Morrow is right in opposing the "dries." Of course, the well experienced minister landed his points clearly and soundly with scriptural backings, even 4,000 years before Christ. But the little wild youth stretched the argument to a height. Many thoughts struck me concerning the Church and the world in general of the future. I wonder if we youngsters "know it all?" The elderly man knew what a terrible time it was, and from what I have known of it I am willing to die a martyr for the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment. I know that no law is ever completely enforced, but a law largely enforced is better. I have never seen older folks too often find reasons for knocking us. Sometimes I am almost persuaded to believe that if we cleaned out every person past 35 years of age, within 40 years hence, if the Church existed at all, we would see men and women sit and playing cards during the same earmuffs.

To the Editor: I happened to be in Concord, N.C., Sunday, August 10th, a member of the First Baptist Church had died. The family asked the pastor, Rev. H. S. Brown, to conduct the services. The family had a white undertaker, the pastor, and only a black undertaker could give better service (they have a good colored undertaker there). To this he replied that they could take the body to a white church. Of course there is some indignation, but the better people are with the pastor 100 per cent. I happened to be in Concord, N.C.

EUGENE GORDON, editor, critic, and magazine writer, and his wife, Mrs. Edith Gordon, announce a two-year agreement to live apart. There is no rift, the husband says, but just the decision to try out the experiment in order that both may be free to follow their immediate objectives—he of writing and she of finishing courses in college. That will be interesting to thousands of couples throughout the country who would like to do the same thing. The majority of married men, however, will prefer to in the same old way of sticking it out together through thick and thin. Most married couples sooner or later come to face the question as to whether marriage is intended to produce happiness or children. Sometimes it does both, but more often the ponds upon the pleasure and good sportsmanship of the couple. Nature made no particular effort, when married couples remain happy. Nature was concerned mostly in children and provided the mating instinct. It was Helen Kay, the great German woman philosopher, I believe, who declared that love without marriage was more moral than marriage without love. What she tried to point out was that in a ceremony a man and woman was all there was to marriage and that all marriages should have one primary objective. Who are more important, after all, parents or children? The cycle of nature supposes that units mature and hand down to the future others who will reach maturity and do the same things. Build marriage on a system which considers the most happiness for the parents, or shall their interests be submerged beneath the interests of posturity? It is easy to understand how some objectives other than the bringing into the world and the rearing of children may give human beings more immediate pleasure and less worry. It is easy to see how some societies and be of more societies to the world in other objectives. The rank and file of humanity, however, will go ahead for thousands of years yet shouldering the burrens, sacrificing things called advantage and pleasure, and clinging to each other in marriage, just because they are human beings. DOWN In Birmingham, Alabama, the State of Tom Heflin, would seem the last place for Communists, with doctrines of fair play, complete social and economic equality of white and black workers, to set up business. But that is exactly what they have done, and for the first time the Communists are publishing a paper below the Mason and on line. In its front page editor's column, "What We Stand For," this paper, the "Southern Worker," declares: The Southern Worker is neither a "white paper, nor a "Negro" paper. It is a paper of and for both the white and black workers and farmers. It recognizes only one division, the bosses against the workers and the workers against the bosses. In this class struggle the Southern Worker stands always, without exception, unilinchingly for the workers. It is a "workers" paper. The Negro worker is the most oppressed worker in the South. His lot is worse than any. Kent jim-crowed at every turn, working at lower wages than the white worker, subject to lynching and persecution, he is kept a virtual slave by the Southern white bosses. The Southern Worker is here to voice the rebellion against these conditions. It is here to serve as the minister for the defense of the Southern tollers. It is here to give them Communist leadership in their struggle. No one can yet foresee through what agency the Negro and white workers of the South will work out a solution of the labor problems from which they both suffer. But all must agree that the American economic system, which, in a land of plenty brings such constant recurrences of our present forced unemployment, must be replaced by something better. Communism can convince the white workers of the South that their interests lie in joining with Negro workers, it ought to be easy to convince the Negro workers where their interests lie. However, as many Negro leaders as whites go into shivers at the words "revolutionary change," and all of this kind of people should now and then take a good chance to escape Washington and others whom we now honor for making revolutionary changes. SARAH FERNANDIS, society edu- tress of the AFRO-AMERICAN, tells us that unemployment and the rising costs of food products are likely to put the brakes on fall social activities. There are thousands of families which must curtail expenditures; many other thousands who must cut living costs to the very bone. On the other hand, there are thousands of salaried folk who will be affected by the depression we face only in the increased costs of some commodities. They should keep on spending in a conservative and normal way. In this crisis, every citizen owes it to his community to help keep money in circulation in order that as many as possible may have jobs. Hoarding money at a time like this is like making a run on a bank. It helps to produce a crash. Business and professional men and women, and salaried employees who have permanent jobs, should own insurance to help provide jobs for the unemployed. Sooner or later all of us will feel the effects of economic depression, Selfishness is a short-sighted monster. It always tears out its own vitals. CHIPS FROM THE QUARRY The Proofoader Talks. Over and over in these talks it has been urged that the best preparation for the young writer is reading after good authors. And pari passu one should avoid reading after incompetence or careless au- tumnal reading as possible. This is brought particularly to mind by the daily observation that so many writers seem not to know or do not notice that words may not be placed here or there on their message. One of our common experiences is to have some person cite from a dictionary the definition of a word to prove its correct use in a certain situation where its use is not really Words have not only a meaning—as defined in the dictionary—they have also a certain connotation or fitness. That is: while two or more words may be defined at once, each may be defined by the other; each words are not always interchangeable. We are all familiar with the series of words which mean a company or assemblage or collection: lock, herd, drove, pack, beey, cowes, light, swarm, school, beey, some others. Each of these words have certain connotations or applications. These various connotations or fitness arises from different causes Sometimes the etymology or derivation of the word is the reason many cases the reason for the particular association is doubtful or oblique. We may speak of a flock of birds or of fowls; and, for some obscure reason, the word "flock," besides being applicable to birds and animals, applicable to human disease, more or less weak and preyed upon or which require care and guidance, such as sheep and goats—although some goats, as we know, have strayed away to the mountains and have set up for Hence the connotation of the word "flock" permits us to refer to the followers of Jesus as His "flock." Eut, referring to those who oppose or prey upon the church "the flock." The same word is applied to undestrables of other kinds, as "a pack of fools," and Shakespeare uses it frequently in such senses as this: "Thou . . . art confederate with a damned pack." Referring again to the word "flock" we noted that other words are applied to certain kinds of birds; e.g., "beev" to quails, to larks and may be to others, while "covey" is applied particularly to partridges. And, curiously enough though quails are a variety of parrish, covey is rarely if ever applied to quails. Carrying the refinement still further, we may speak of a "covey" of girls, but when they grow up they become adults, and we can only see a "covey" applied to ladies (not women). "Flight," however, will apply loosely to both, but as this word is more particularly applicable to things in motion, it can be used of arrows, or of birds, or of angels, it is seldom applied to human beings by careful writers. The discussion of these various and preferred associations or ascribed words could be carried to considerable length; and these distinctive associations, which apply to scores of words besides those above, are important if would not illiterate or poorly read. Preachers Raising Hell By WILLIAM PICKENS (For The Associated Negro Press) The preachers are occupying entirely too much space in the bad news of the front page nowadays. They have a chance to hit the spotlight any longer. Every time a preacher starts to get married, there's a scandal: the older the preacher, the worse the scandal. Women take to preachers like the soldiers uniformed in the course of the scandal is due to this presumption and misconception of the women. Every widowed preacher is the objective of a cruel manhunt. And when he decides to marry one of the beloved sisters, there are so many others offended that there is sure to happen. Recently one big preacher let it leak out that he was about to be married, and another woman was about to be armed and his face arsed him for something like $100,000. To make it even, he sued her back for another $100,000 for assault. He was one of them will collect—as one of them ought to collect. Then that preacher "eloped" as it were, and got married to her. That very few preachers ever get married and then stay for long on the charge on which they got married. There is something deadly, persistent, and is injected into the female portion of the membership by the hate and envy aroused when the pastor marries—somebody else. Another prominent preacher was smarter. He slipped away and got married without letting it leak out first. He may get away with it. The sexiest of the species is the female. Another preacher got married some time ago. There was a woman in front of him. All he last is moving and there are "explanations"—one set and sort of explanation from him and a different set and sort from the hostile portion of the Out in the west and south a whole bevy of preachers have been arrested for graft and murder. Of course, some may be all, of them are innocent of murder at least, but in the case or rather, but in the name the Lord have they so careless as to get all tangled up in a mess like that? The Lord certainly needs to look after his preachers. If he does not, we sinners are going to do it: we'll just call a meeting and have some of them turned clear out of the church. We have often been bored because too many preachers spend, too much time talking hell. Now we are shocked because, because we have been asked to raise what they have been talking about. And for once we are really frightened about it, for actions speak much more effectively than words. We have mercy on us poor ordinary sinners if we be in His sight even worse than this selection of His preachers. Not a Leg to Stand On. From the standpoint of the layman, it appears that Judge Groner gave the attorneys on both sides in the recently decided Election. He hard slam. The verbatim copy of the decision, published in the Norfolk Journal and Guide, contains this passage: The case was heard on bill and answer, and affidavits, and on evidence. The pleading are loosely drawn, and the evidence offered was unresponsive to the issue, and the argument was not helpful to the court. Enough appears, however, to issue to be . . . (Hallies ours). The Laughs Behind the News By RALPH MATTHEWS According to a statement issued by the Treasury Department, a comparison of the money in circulation with the latest census figures shows that each person we have $64.88. We can best tell the truth of half of this statement as we have the 48 cents. Money is supposed to talk, but it seems to be getting quieter every day and so far some people know it has lost its speech entirely. If everybody is supposed to have at least $64.88, why is it that people are always broke when you want to borrow something? A group of spendthrifts are requesting the government to clip the wings off the eagle on money so it can't fly away so fast. They have already removed the slogan "In God We Trust", which proves that the world is so crooked we have even lost confidence in Him. Things are getting to the point where people will do anything for money except work, and a lot of lazy people would even do that if it was against the law. It's funny how the men who are always urging people to work hard to be successful must be taking things easy themselves. Money is said to be the root of all evil and a lot of people have a knack for getting at the roots of things. It takes two things to get along in this world, money and brains, but the people with money seem to be a lot more comfortable than those who have only brains. Of course money can't buy everything, but the things it can't buy are probably not worth having anyway. They say money can't buy life but there is a lot of money in the fact that John D. is hitting the nineties while poor people are kicking off around 50 and 60. Back in the pioneer days the people had a gold rush but nowadays you are liable to get trampled to death over a dime. If the cost of living keeps going up, pennies will only be good for souvenirs. The man who tries to sell you a gold brick has a lot of brass. A poor man used to get a little consolation out of waiting to be remembered the rich relative to you, now the old dowager are pretty ant to run thru it themselves before they die. Poor people are supposed to be happier than rich people, but the latter don't seem to want to share their sorrow. Misery milks company, but there are a very few welcome signs on a millionaire's notebook. The men who made bullets during the war are independent men today, but the boys who stopped bullets are sitting around waiting for their pension checks. The soldiers who won the war aren't given any credit—not even at the grocery. A fellow can't keep his fingers warm any more because everybody else seems to have their hands in his nocks.

The dance of daisies in the moon, the blue Of far-off hills where twilight shadows lie. The night with all its tender mystery of sound And silence and God's starry sky! Oh! life—the whole life—is far too fleet. The things of every day are all so sweet. The common things of life are, all so dear. The waking in the warm half- To find again the old familiar room, The scents and sights and sounds that never tire. The toes and plans, the lil of baby's laugh.

The Negro Faces the Fall Campaign Republican Party Outstandings Its Rival in Efficiency-Otherwise There is No Essential Difference. By KELLY MILLER The off-year campaign is now on. The ins are striving desperately to stay in, while the outs are equally determined to get in. The party in power always arrogates to itself a monopoly of political virtues, while its adversary imputes to its more lucky rival all of the vices which give rise to existing fills. There are no deeply divisive issues between Democracy and Republican differences. The only essential difference consists in the relative administrative efficiency of the rival political organizations. In this connection, the Republican party easily outdistances its adversary. On this score those who favor good government and efficient administration must perform fall in with the Grand Old Party which, in the main, has skillfully guided the ship of state during the past seventy years. President Hoover is undoubtedly the most skillful captain to guide this ship amidst the troubled waters of these perilous times. The Present Economic Issues Demand Partisan Sacrifice. Under normal conditions our is a bi-partisan type of government. But in times of danger and distress, it becomes co-partisan. This was true in the Civil War under Lincoln, and in the World War under Wilson. The desired outcome of the titanic industrial and economic issues with which our nation, and indeed the whole world is now grappling, is fraught with as serious consequences to our nation, and either our fraternity or foreign war. In this emergency, petriitism demands the laying aside of narrow partisanship. The whole nation should fall in behind President Hoover in his statesmanlike program of economic and industrial reconstruction at least for the remainder of his tenure of office. If I could speak as an American to Americans in the present crisis, such would be my advice. But limited as I am to a circumscribed group, I must perforce analyze the peculiar political situation in their behalf. in Fall Campaign. The Negro is not in any sense an issue in the approaching campaign. There is, however, significant indication of remoter bearing upon the presidential campaign of 1032. The Republican party is as much committed to the lily-white policy in the south as it is to the principle of the protective tariff. The Hoovercertain species has been divided into two varieties—the Horace Mann lily-whites and the Walter Brown lily-whites. The only question is, which variety of the lily is the whiter. So far as appositive office is concerned, there is not even the shadow of a shade of difference between Herbert Hoover and Woodrow Wilson, whose formula he follows with undeniable faithfulness. The Presbyterian President of wartime fame, finding that it required too much senatorial agitation to give the Negro confirmatory appointments, fell back upon the lower level of departmental assignments which required no confirmation. To this rule he made one exception—the municipal judgeship of the District of Columbia. In this regard our Quaker President is in absolute accord. President Hoover Confers Only with Dr. R. R. Moten. There is another point of striking resemblance. After Bishop Walters fell from consultive grace, President Wilson occasionally conferred with Dr. Moton concerning the state of the race. He neither received nor recognized any other spokesman. The wise and prudent doctor kept the presidential conference and counsel stored up in the court of his sagacious mind. In this latter day, the Moton speaks only to Moton about the race, and Moton mutters the matter only to himself. The Negro voter then faces the approaching campaign distraught between two great political parties without distinctive issue. This leaves him free to choose between candidates on the basis of personal attitude toward the issues which the deems of greatest moment to the racial weal. In my mind, the decisive criterion would be found in answer to the query—"are you wet or dry?" Policy of N.A.A.C.P. is purely Vindictive. The N.A.A.C.P. is our only organization with an avowed purpose and policy in the present posture of things. Their object is purely vindictive, with the besetter reprisal and revenge to inspire salutary respect in the mind of the wily politician with an eye to the main chance. I commend their motive, reason and end in view, but suggest a word of prudential caution. The spite motive must be used skillfully and prudently lost it cause both Republicans and Democrats to ignore all Negro protestation and make it of no effect. ETIQUETTE 1.

REBEL LEADER CALLS ON ELKS TO SPLIT WIDE Richmond Leader Suggests National Conference of anti-Wilsonites WILSON WARNS National Chief Says Insurgents Dare Not Meet RICHMOND. Va. — Although the legal victory of the Virginia Lodge of Elks was almost instantly offset by a counter move on the part of J. Finley Wilson and the I.B.P.O. of Elks of the World through their posting of a supersedeas bond pending an appeal, fires of revolt that threaten the reign of the present exalted ruler was not put out but have flared up with renewed vigor The momentary victory of the Virginia lodge which set aside the injunction brought by the national body, restraining them from using the name of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, after their withdrawal from the national body, was short-lived when the plaintiffs took an appeal. This action, with the posting of a bond of $2,000, puts the temporary injunction again in force until it is adjudicated by the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The action of the national body makes肌k the illegal for the Virginia order to organize under their exercise the functions of a lodge, under the same name as the national body. Pleadings Loosely Drawn Significance is placed on the judge of Judge Groner, who decides in reviewing the case, that the pleadings are loosely drawn. It is thought that a drawing of the bill, plugging up loopholes, will result in victory for the grand lodge The Virginia health is also strength- ing the case in a permanent victory when the case goes to the appeals court. Many at Conference The call issued by James T. Carter, urging other subordinate lodges to rebel against the present incumbent, whose autocratic rule, he claims, denies his opponents their rights as men in the order, was answered Sunday by more than 200 leaders from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Maryland, District of Columbia, Illinois, and other states at the conference Richmond. The meeting plans to unseat the present head or secede from the grand lodge. Issue Warning A letter warning Carter and his followers against holding the conference was sent by the law firm of Howard and Hayes, the senior member being Perry W. Howard, grand legal advisor of the order. Since the case is already in the hands of the appeals court, the attorney pointed out, with an attempt to meet at a body would be held as contempt and the occurrence would be called to the attention of Judge Groner who handed down the recent decision in the case. This warning did not deter the holding of the conference, however, as it was pointed out that a "get-together" could be held without employing the name of Elks at all. Perry W. Howard admitted that the trial would could meet as Bates, Reinders or under any other name they choose except as Elks. A proclamation was also issued by Exalted Ruler Wilson to hold in the jurisdiction of them the received or misled by the action of the Virginia Elks.

The action to be taken at the convention by the leaders who attended the Virginia caucus, a matter of speculation. Wilson is still confident of the success.

Double Feature Week—Week of Aug. 25th 8 NEW YORK.—Mr. Roark Bradford, from whose book "Ol' Man Adam an' His Chillun" Marc Connelly conceived his Broadway success, "Green Pastures," does not know colored people's religion. This statement may seem far fetched in light of the unique and sympathetic way Mr. Bradford has described fish trypsis and the like among the lower types in the deep South, but it is nevertheless true. Born and reared as he was in the ground of New Orleans, Mr. Bradford knows only a type, a part that is being accepted by Broadway for the whole. No Hatreds Mr. Bradford's ignorance was revealed in an article which he wrote recently in the New York Herald-Tribune, in which he said: "There sint a small, mean thing about the Negro's religion; it does not arouse those emotions that need doctoral hatreds and bitter words about creed and dogma that are a practical part of the white man's search for spiritual happiness. Mr. Bradford is blissfully ignorant of the existence of two great Baptist factions in America one of which is the Chicago last and the other, which is to meet in New York in September. That there is little love lost between these organizations is common knowledge. The constant internal strife that ends in split congregations may not be caused by "small, mean things," but this is extremely doubtful. Many Methodist Branches He knows not of the many and varied divisions of the Methodist Church which includes the African Methodist, the Colored Methodist, the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, each with its own creed, bishops, and laws. Wrong Language Mr. Bradford again displays either gross ignorance or a direct attempt to distort facts when he puts into the mouth of a minister, whom he describes as a graduate from a well-known Northern College, the following words: And I wanter tell you somehow, Sister, de Lawd knowt hit was in de Scripture 'He genter say, I thirst,' and His old mamma was standing by His side when He fulfilled de Scriptures; right him, he own baby boy nailed up on end de cross wid nails in His hands and rivets in His feet and Him fulfilling Scriptures to His old Mammy. (Referring to Mary, the mother Mr. Bradford, whose authority is accepted as the last word on Negro religion following the success "Green Pastures," has been representative Negro church. There is a marked difference between the language of Negro ministers from "Northern Universities" and that of ante-bellum preachers in the backwounds of New Orleans, and Bradford does not accept this fact.

(Paris Bureau of the AFRO-AMERICAN) PARIS, France—Noble Sissle, from the United Sattles, an orchestra leader here, expressed himself for the AFRO-AMERICAN as being entirely in favor of all the War Mothers coming over. He said that with the propaganda being waged in Europe by Americans and the growing race prejudice in certain quarters, he thought that their visit at this time had a good counter effect. He said: "We came over on segregated ships during the war. Many came over only because they had to. The others had the power to force them. These people still have the power, and they are going to use it. I saw service during the war, and if I had fallen I would have liked to know that my mother had a chance to see my grave. Noble Sisle Dressing Orches chance to see my grave, and to be as well-treated Directing Orchestra and to be as well-treated *Directing Orchestra* as these women have been. One of them told me that she left America with $20 and she has not had occasion to spend a penny of it. "I am as opposed to segregation as anyone else. I believe in fighting it, yet I believe that those mothers should come to see the graves of their lost ones." Many of the French papers have been generous in their mention of the mothers, and at least two of them, *Le Soir* and the *Paris-Midi*, have called attention to the fact of their having been segregated. The *Paris-Midi* said: "All the mothers without the distinction of fortune, class, or religion, have in evidence to the war meteries. Nevertheless, in obedience to the law of race which rages in the United States, it has been found necessary to make a distinction in the case of the colored mothers." War Mothers in France Got First Taste of Liberty War Mothers in France Got First Taste of Liberty To Many it was also First and Last Taste of Luxury; Concerts and Dinners Given them Were Fit for an Emperor. "Most Beautiful Thing in France, My Son's, Grave," Says One Mother. Mrs. Rush Calls Trip, Crowning Point of Her Life. By J. A. ROGERS (Paris Bureau of the AFRO) PARIS, France.—The pilgrimage of the first group of Gold Star Mothers and Widows has come to an end. By the time the reader gets this they will be once more in the United States. To one and all it has been a wonderful event. To most of them it has been the greatest event in their lives like a page from a fairy-tale turning into reality. Segregation apart—to which we will be forever unreconciled—it must be admitted that it was a magnificent gesture on the part of the United States government to send these women colored and white. It has given to most of them their first real taste of luxury, and perhaps their last. Women Get First Taste of Real Freedom But to the colored women it has meant something more: it has given them their first real taste of freedom. Many of them are seeing in reality what they have undoubtedly felt, that human beings, so far as colonies are concerned can live in the same hotels, eat the same meals, travel in the same conventions, and get along when they will, with the same tranquility as the colored and the white dead lying side by side in the cemeteries they have visited. Most of them will never be the same. The effect on their minds as also that on the minds of the French people and the white Americans here, has been great. The officials here have been most solicitous about them. Everything they have done has been done for their comfort. And, thanks to the added efforts of the colored Americans in Paris, the colored pilgrims have had a more wonderful time than any of the white Concert Fit for Emperor Wednesday two weeks ago, at the Hotel Imperator, the assembled colored talent of Paris gave them a concert that was fit for an emperor and his court. The band from the Ambassadors, together with the Two Black Dots; Sam Wooding and his band from the Olympia; Cricket Smith and his entertainers from Zell's; Norman Thomas and his quintet from the Empire; Nelson Bassett; the Nessie Four; Brickport and her entertainers and other entertainers from leading theatres and night-clubs as Vance Lowry, Elizabeth Welsh; Miss Cortez, Lewis Cole, Babel Fisher, Mabe, Babel Fisher, Gene Bullard, Marine and Norris and Herbert Parker. An assemblage of such stars would have cost a small fortune, and it was all free. We, the artist, invited the guests to please sit in front of it as the mothers and the guests which included Ambassador Edge, General Pershing, Colonel and Mrs. Ellis, and Mrs. Davis and some several others who are visiting in Paris. Banquet, with U.S. Host The following evening a banquet was given to the pilgrims by the U.S. government at Willy Morgan's famous restaurant on the Avenue de la Bourbonnais, near the French embassy, members of the English royal family and almost every American of importance who has visited Paris. (Morgan is colored and comes from the French countryside, but a bacon on the Overland Limited.) It was a Southern dinner of roast chicken, barbecue ham, candied sweet potatoes, potatoes, biscuits, and many other fixins including some European ones such as canape caviar. Full justice was done to this meal, especially by those not yet "accustomed to the French cuisine." As to liquid refreshments, the best United States traditions were maintained. In spite of the expensive meals, the limited shelves of Morgan's bar and filling his cellars, the pilgrims drank coffee and mineral water. Whoever has benefited by the coming of the troops in the war, there, the brewers certainly have not. Nicknames for Officers After the dinner, Mrs. Rush of Atlanta, Ga., as spokesman for the mothers, gave a speech of appreciation. The group has been taken of the entire party from the moment of starting from New York. As to Colonel Ellis, who is in charge of the Gold Star Mothers on this side, it was unanimously agreed that THE A he ought to be promoted at once to "General" for his attentiveness and care. Captain Conway, who is in charge of the colored mothers, and who certainly has done his best for them, Mrs. Rush said that the mothers in trying to find a name for him had called him, "The Smiling Capers." Ellis, the Colonel's wife was nicknamed, "The Mixer," because of her friendiness. Lieutenant Stark's mother, Mrs. Rush, "honey Boy," because of his agreeable manners, while Lieutenant Zwicker whose business it was to see that the mothers all got on and off the bushes was called "The Mothers," said Mrs. Rush, "have asked me to tell you that this visit to France is the crowning point of our lives. We have nothing but praise for the wonderful treatment." Most Beautiful Thing, Her Son's Grave Other pilgrims voiced their appreciation. One of them said that she had seen many wonderful things in France, but the most beautiful thing she had seen was her son's grave, and she had seen what it was that it was kept by the government. Colonel Ellis in reply said that of all the groups that have come to Europe the colored one was the most dignified. He said, "I wrote to the Quartermaster-General at Washington slaving that you are the most dignified, cheerful well-mannered group that we have had so far. And that is the truth. If you go home please your four sons, be considerate ourselves, here, more than amply repaid." Some of Other Mothers Spoke No English Another fact brought out by the visit of the colored mothers and widows is that they represent the most truly American group that has been here so far. In an interview with a number of women who do not speak English, this being especially true of the Minnesota group. Interpreters have been necessary for them, consequently such people respond to impulses of their own laws. Some of these wounds, we are told, were homesticks and lonely because they knew no English, while the colored group acted always like real American homegrown people in their task of handling all the mothers easier in their case. Negro Soldiers Only Americans Trusted in War "Yes," said one mother, "and when the war was declared it was our sons that they found, too, were the only real Americans they could trust. They had them made into the President of the United States. We can live among foreigners when we come into their land, but when they come into our land we must be segregated from them. M. Musie, promoter, promoter of the colored mothers warmly in praise of the colored mothers to this writer, "It has been a pleasure to serve them," he said. "I know how they are treated in America, and I have tried to treat them better than any one who has come to America." That France appreciates all that the colored Americans have done for her." Make Night Tour of Paris On leaving Morgan's, the pilgrims made a night tour of Paris. On the following day they visited the Surreses Cemetery, had dinner at La Belle Cycliste, and going on to Versailles, made a tour of the chateau. The Empire Theatre offered the entire performance of the policy has been to keep the pilgrims up late after a day of sight-seeking, the offer was not accepted. Colonel Davis Not in Uniform Colored Americans here expressed themselves as being disappointed in not seeing the Gold Star Fathers in the all-award the thrill of seeing a real live colored colonel in his uniform, and other officers saluting him. Only those who were present at the arrival of the mothers had this pleasure. Gold Star Fathers Asked For In the movie that the French people are about the Gold Star Fathers, and wondering when are they coming. Soprano at Tuskegee Miss Anola L. Miller, soprano, assisted by O. Lexine Howse, pianist, was presented in recital in the Tuskegee Institute chapel, Wednesday evening.

HAS $50,000 INCOME Entertainer Among Highest Paid European Stars. NEW YORK—Mrs. Stella Johnstone, 152 W 131st Street, popular society matron and wife of Clarence (Tandy) Johnstone, the singer, of the famous stage team of Layton and Johnstone, has engaged counsel to fight the mail order" divorce recently witnessed by her husband through the correspondence of three Mexican attorneys. The legality of the divorce will be attacked in the New York and London (England) courts. Notice of the "divorce" was forwarded to Johnstone's Paris lawyer, a Mexican, who acted in association with other attorneys of his nationality in New York City and Mexico City. Meanwhile, Johnstone's official residence is London, and his correspondence with the Mexican specialists was carried a Mexican, who acted in association with other attorneys of his nationality in New York City, and Mexico City, Meanwhile Johnstone's official residence is London, and his correspondence with the Mexican specialists was carried on through his London attorneys, thus adding another country to this "international domestic affair." To Set Aside Decree The New York courts have consistently refused to recognize Mexican decrees—even those granted by the Mexican in the Mexican courts. Mrs. Johnstone has engaged the services of Raymond Pace Alexander, attorney, and has requested her action to set aside the Mexican decree and to file counter-suit in the New York courts for separate maintenance pending settlement of the litigation. Mrs. Johnstone contends that she was never served with a notice of the proceedings. Her first knowledge of the divorce was pleased by the newspapers' re-entry to New York for a visit with his mother. Mrs. Johnstone visited her husband in London last fall, and when she returned to *P*'erica they were on the best of terms. Her husband has correspondence throughout the entire time the secret things were being carried on by my mail. Earns $50,000 On last Wednesday, at a conference between Mr. Alexander and Mr. del Toro. Mr. Johnstone's attorney, at which Mr. Johnstone was appointed to the joint settlement were offered which proved unsatisfactory to Mrs. Johnstone. Her attorney immediately served notice of suit and began procedures to tie up Mr. Johnstone. It is claimed that Tandy Johnstone has an income of between $50,000 and $100,000 per year. When he left the hospital, he was orthopedic surgeon. Today, he and his partner, Turner Layton, are the most popular music-hall artists in England and on the continent. They live in her charming home on 131st Street during her husband's tours. They have exchanged visits frequently during the past six years but Mrs. Johnstone has always maintained her home. When interviewed at her home last week she stated that she will continue to live quietly at her home until such time as required. Mr. Alexander, who represented Nora Holt Ray in her famous divorce suit, has instructed his London correspondent to institute equity proceedings against the popular singer's property and income.

I'm a understand, a lady from the air." The piece was written by Louis John the New York Graphic, and uses that since the writing of *dice*. Mr. Sobol had had coke upon his head. But he tell it. just a story and we forget about it promptly. Yesterday's mail brought a ten-page letter in which we were informed that a group of twenty-five South Africans had started an anti-Sobol campaign below the Mason-Dixon line. Hotel keepers were on the road to sell the Graphic until Sobol was fired. Two "clubs in New York and a Southern club in Chicago are publishing your insulting comment by Mr. Sobol in line with that Mr. Sobol's profile will be very much flattened by some 'hadles and gentlemen' from the South if we ever met him"—all pledged to another Graphic as long as your ignorant contemptible Mr. Louis Sobol has a line of his trashy small-time stuff in it."

White, the district superintendent, with his co-workers made possible a very inspiring program of the various types of modern: Sunday School, the music given is a very prominent place in the general scheme of such work. The closing sessions contained many bright spots. The final sessions were on Sunday at an annual, Anale Church, where the convention was held. In addition to the spirited singing of the church choir, soloists Winnian, Winnian, Mr. Charles Parker, the superintendent at Trinity, were musical features of the services. HILL CARRIES ON William Hill, the youngest son of the Reverend Daniel G. Hill, as a result of high attainment in a committee scholarship award in music is studying voice and foreign languages in Boston. Mr. Hill, during his student days at the Douglas High, was very accustomed to teaching there. Since finishing his university work at Lincoln, he has applied himself with vigor to the study of voice under the leading vocal instructors in the school, and many of our local musicians feverishly preparing for the fall and winter seasons. Local choral groups are making plans for future presentations. Some contemplate visitations to nearby cities. More conservative groups are simply making studies of the music of the locality. The large choral groups of other years, happily, are missing, and we believe that their disappearance from the field has been for the genius of the conductor, it. It is true, that often their efforts were 'howling' successes financially, but the amount of permanent good work brought about, remains underestimated. The smaller groups which are now active in the city, find it practicable to give more intensive study to the public under consideration, because of the rapid development that results from such study. The modern groups are not so eager to rush without provocation before the public with programs people are familiar with. In many instances are willing to develop their groups rather than exploit themselves. The local vocal teachers are in the local community responsible for the improved vocal production to be found in Baltimore. While many vocal students are pursuing courses with th. laudable, though ambitious aim of becoming singers, many others are interested in the development of good singing when it is done by others more generously endowed by Nature to sine pleasingly. The result is that many who a decade ago were raised first-rate singers are raised as fault. Time was, when one only had to announce that he was a singer par excellence and a gullible and unaught public would accept that as truth. But through education, contact, and experience from the eyes of the general public, hence the standards have been raised. IN D.C. THEATRES August 21-22. Only the Brave? August 22-28.

The Titan The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, August 23, 1930 Jim Harris Winning Fame as Stunt Man in Movies Former Kansas City Youth Has Narrow Escape from 178 Hungry Giant Alligators. Making Sea Scenes His Specialty. LOS ANGELES. (ANP)—Dropping from planes in parachutes, leaping off cliffs, dashing through flames, canoeing over waterfalls, and facing wild animals, etc., are some of the so-called stunts that put a selling thrill in the movies. Pictures without these breath-taking features would be tame and insipid, yet they are fraught with great danger to life and limb and many lives are lost by the daredevils of the motion picture industry, who make such scenes. But when you see the brave here leap from his speeding car to the express train to save the fair mademan from the desperate villain, he may not be the fabulously salaried star, but a professional stunt man. There is quite a colony of these actors, and many of them are women, for stunters vary as to their nature. Some stunt performers double for stars; others are actors themselves, and are given parts that call for the daring action. From Kansas City There was no Negro actor who sought this kind of work until James Harris arrived from Kansas City. Harris is a young, trim-bully athlete. He was for several years swimming instructor to guard in charge of a monster out- He began working in the movies and during the filming of a mob scene a volunteer was called for to risk neck in order to make him appear as a Haitian. He took it and made good. From then on, when called on for a new picture, he began asking for the privilege of doing the damn thing, and it also elicited it, so he always got it, and in most of the studios he is known as "Jim, the colored stunt man." Fighting Sharks An expert swimmer and diver, Jim's favorite movie, the water, was also killed upon to battle with the man-killing sea wolves for beneath the ocean's surface. This stunt was formerly only performed by Hawaiians and then in a glass tank. But with the advent of the undersea camera the scenes are usually taken near one of the islands off Catalina. The dive and the beasts are caught by a net thirty or more feet deep in the water, and the eve of the camera lowered beneath the waves catches every detail of the desperate struggle in the clear Cata- For the "Sea Bat" recently completed at M. G. M. Studio, Harris was sent on location for six weeks in the seawater crack Hawaiian swimmers. Returning, they filmed a number of pearl diving scenes at Avalon. Alligator nearly Got Him After completing this "Trader Horn" was begun, and a jungle scene was created in a small pond alligator in a small pond was made in which Harris had to fall among them from a swinging vine and swim out before they got him. He was dragged a week to make them vicious and even the small army of keepers feared them. From canoes with long poles, the keepers were supposed to dive into the water and get a start swimming out in this race with death. He was hanging from the big vine and a proam man in a tree located in a big alligator that had hidden in the bottom of the pond rose to the surface, opened his awfulails, and waited for his hunter to come in. But James got excited. The keepers were bawled out for their By HARRY LEVETTE From Kansas City Fighting Sharks Alligator Nearly Got Him carelessness in overlooking the craft man-killer back in to Mazalan shortly for sea shots of a new feature "Never the Twain Shall Mee." Beuatiful Women It is a joy to hear MARIAN ANDERSON sing with her magnificent voice. Moving upon the concert stage in a graceful manner, she radiates the beauty of simplicity. Off stage, she has the rich essence of friendliness, which is the true spirit of all great artists. ABBE MITCHELL is a great artist and a noble woman. When she sings or acts she is the supreme artist. Few women have all the beautiful qualities of Abbe Mitchell. A singing voice which is equal among the women of her race; an equal of great emotional powers; and with these things, beauty, charm and cultural intelligence. There is something amazing about her. And I can only say she thrills me always! At heart ROSE McLENDON is a very vigorous, vivacious woman, very much in tune with the spirit of living and happiness, but the rare beauty of her head and tragic face generally casts her for serious roles in plays. I hope that she will some day be cast in a play which will let her break loose and behave like the energetic person she is. Beautiful in every sense of the word is ADELAIDE HALL. Her brown body is lovely and fascinating, and she is clever, or it not quite that, possessed of an energy which is very good substitute for cleverness. She works with more denness than any artist on the Negro stage. A woman who deserves every luxury the world can afford is EDNA LEWIS THOMAS. She is beautiful, queenly, charming and above all, intelligent. Just now she is in Paris the guest of a Princess, and no woman of royal heritage is more elegant. I know of no woman more difficult to talk about than GERALDYN DISMOND. Difficult because she lives a dual life. To her acquaintances, she is a pleasant, energetic woman, who writes a delightful column of the activities of Harlem's society. But to her friends, she is a smiling, and gentle woman with a smile, domestic instincts. In admire and adore her for all of these things. A beautiful woman, with a divine spirit. There is something mysterious about ELIZABETH PROPIET, who is a great artist, and a woman of brilliant intelligence. I have walked with her in the beautiful park at St. Cloud, near Paris, and talked with her in her studio, always fascinated. In her sculptured heads and figures she has depicted with feeling the griefs and want of mankind. There is greatness in her style, for her art is accusingly silently etiquetous, achieving something which many a writer has failed to achieve in a whole lengthy series of writings. If you know DOROTHY WEST very well, you would never believe she writes the fine lines of her hair. She is the author of all the things I have been trying to say about the other women in this group, and I am almost a child with her native manner, everything that is spiritually beautiful in a woman. I can only say what I have said before about GERTRUDE MARTIN: "That victim of unusual ability, she plays with great skill. There is something about Gertrude that goes deep, reaching down into the depths of my heart." Alabama Musicians Off After their final weekly radio appearance for the summer over-WAP1, Montgomery, Ala., here Monday, three musical groups, the College under the supervision of Willis James, musical director, hit the trail in their bus for the extended trip to five weeks, that will take them to Michigan, New York and Pennsylvania. The male quarete, the thirty-plee band and the "Bama State Collegians" ten-piece dance combination — constitute the groups to be used on this tour — will be presented in Chicago and in Detroit at the meetings of the National Baptist Convention and the Elks Grand Lodge, respectively.

FRIDAY 5 DOROTHY BOYD AFRO RADIO HELPS REMOTE CONTROL The fact that many manufacturers of the up-to-date receivers are featuring remote control in at least one of their models indicates that the way they work will most likely be along that line. By the use of remote control, the receiver may be placed in any out of the way location, and the receiver means of a control box within easy reach. These boxes are small in size and pleasing in appearance and contain the operating controls for many of buttons which permit the choice of a corresponding number of especially selected stations. To obtain any station within the range of the proper button, it is necessary to press the proper button. Though the mechanisms of the different types of remote control vary, they usually work on a system of relays when the proper button is pressed.

ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION The Truth About the Great Frederick Douglass By J. A. ROGERS Noted Author and International Correspondent. FREDERICK Douglass is not only the most eminent of colored Americans but he is one of the greatest figures the United States has yet produced. None of the great national heroes, Washington, Lincoln, Grant, Jackson, came from so low and degraded a depth as he. All these were born free. Douglass was born a chattel; he had to achieve his freedom, before he became a man. And in spite of the height to which Douglass rose he had never had a man's chance. But his greatest achievement, perhaps, is that at no time did he ever cease fighting to start the fullest measure a manhood which he felt most strongly at his by divine right. Douglas played a very important role in saving the Union. Who hurts but that if his advice had been followed earlier, the war would be ended sooner? As to the Emancipation, the part he played was at least as great as Lincoln's. The following excerpt from Lincoln's letter to Charles D. Robinson, dated August 18, 1854 will throw some light on the sermon: "Drive back to the support of the nation the physical force which the colored people now give and promise us and neither the present nor any coming administration can save the Union. Take from us and give to the enemy the hundred and thirty, forty, or fifty thousand colored persons now serving as soldiers, seamen and sailors, and cannot be allowed to maintain the contest. "The party who could elect a President on a War and Slavery Restoration, would of necessity lose the colored force; and that force being lost it would be as powerless to save the Union as to do any other impossible thing." That is to say, according to Lincoln's own words, it was the 186.104 Negro soldiers that turned the tide of battle in favor of the Union. Now it was Douglass who was the first to advocate the use of colored soldiers, a step which Lincoln opposed for some time. Douglass Faced Great Handicaps No child living in any civilized country today is called on to face the handicaps encountered by Dougus. Born in February, 1817, on an estate owned by Colonel Lloyd in Thot County, Md., his life was one of extreme hardships from the wilderness, half-shrived the greater part of the time, and, as he himself relates, fought with the dog of the house for the scraps. He also suffered intensely from the cold, his only garment, summer and winter being a long shirt. Of shoes or hat, he had neither. Of an Extremely Sensitive Nature While a baby, he was taken from his mother, and given to his grandmother. Later he fell to the care of his Aunt Katy, who treated him when he lived also ignorant and cruel and would take their spite against the upper whites out on the slaves. As to his mother, Harriett, he saw her rarely; she worked on a plantation twelve miles away. In order to see him she had to steal away after the day's work, and then hurry back to be at work in the field at the rising of the sun. She died when he was about eight. Of a sensitive nature, young Frederick was very much affected by the sufferings of his people. He would see old men beaten to death by cruel AFRO FASHIONS By AUNT DILSEY 6920 6895 6.2 THE AFRO-AMERICAN Pattern Bureau, 1-12 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, N.Y.

Helped Save the Union V masters, and young and beautiful colored girls tortured by jealous and hysterical mistresses. Everybody around him seemed ticw the privilege of beating someone else. "As I grew older," he says in his autobiography. "I became more and more filled with a sense of my wretchedness. The unkindness of Aunt Katy, the hunger and the cold I suffered, and the terrible remorse of wrongs and侵害 I had with what I daily witnessed led me to wish that I had never been born. I used to contrast my condition with that of the blackbirds in whose wild and sweet song I fancied them so happy." But when life seemed gloomiest there came relief. He was sent to live with the Auld family, relatives of the manager of the plantation. Mrs. Auld, a rather tender-hearted woman, took an interest in him. He had him outfitted, gave him his first pair of gloves, made him the master of her little son. Thomas. Instead of the damp dirt floor of a cabin, he now walked on carpets. He was then ten. One of his earliest ambitions was to learn to read, and he begged his mistress to teach him. Not knowing THE AFRO-AMERICAN Learning to Read that she would be breaking the law, she gladiantly consented; but one day she innocently told her husband. The latter, astonished, scolded, her severely, and forbade any more lessons. "Teach him to read," shouted Auld, wrathfully, "and you'll unfit him to be a slave. Learning will spoil the best Negro in the world. He should know nothing but the way of his life. Learning will spoil the most thing you know he'll be wanting to write and then he'll be running away with himself." Auld's words almost broke the heart J. B. H. of the young slave. But they proved to be a turning-point in his life. They caused a new and powerful revelation to sink deeply into his soul, never to be effaced. They made him realize that he had done, the value of knowledge. He said to himself: "I see now what is the most direct path to freedom, and deep within he made this solemn vow: 'Knowledge I mean to have.' Thereafter all printed matter became almost magical in its value to him. He treasured bits of old newspaper as others do bank-notes. Young people today with books to be had for the asking, can have no idea now Douglas would have envied them. From these bits of paper he would spell out the words as best he could, and then he would time using cunning to let his white playmates help him. At times Mrs. Auld would espy him, and stamping and storming "in the utmost furry" would snatch away the book or paper. All of this served to whet his determination, and three years later after this catch-as-catch-can method he could read fluently. Fences and Pavements for Copy Books It was in a manner no less ingenuous that he learned to write. While firing a boiler in a ship-yard in Baltimore, he noted that the carr'ers used to mark letters on the inker accordion keyboard. The ship for which it was intended. For instance, keyboard would be marked "S"; lardboard, "L."; and so on. Beween the shovelfuls of coal he would copy the letters down o'r any available material, and later when he met the white boys would challenge them to see who could make the best letters. "With my playmates for my teachers," he says, "fences and pavements for my copybooks, and chalk for my pen and ink, I soon learned to write." Stealing used copy-books, he would copy the matter in the unused space. At night in the kitchen lott, with a flour barrel as a desk he would copy from the Bible and the hymn book, all at the risk of being soundly whipped. Lincoln's efforts to get an education, great as they were, were almost nothing compared with the struggles of Douglass. Another important event in his life occurred when he secretly bought a Lincoln Orator" with money earned at blacking shoes. Now he read the mighty orations of Chatham, Pitt, Fox an' Burke until his own ambition was famed to white heat. A Brutal Master At this time happened what seemed to him a disaster, but it was only Life's way of training him for a great task. His master, Colone. dory, dory, and he was sent for to be valued with the big estate and divided, up with the rest of the property. It is true that he was returned to the Audis but the fact that he had been treated as a common animal, he, in whom such m. thought. seethed. wounded him to the core. Moreover, life at the Auds was not to be the same. Owing to a family row, he found himself under Dept. Thomas Auds an inten, ly selfish, hard, and brutal individual, whose spirit did not prevent his descending on the slaves at prayer-meeting and beating them unmercifully to Mrs. Rowena Auds, sh was not only unkind but stingy as well. She gave Douglas barely enough food to keep him alive, and so make sure that he would steal none, she kept the key of the meat house in her pocket. "Bread and meat were mouldering in there," says Douglass, "while I was famishing." Driven by hunger he would steal away at times to a nearby estate where the slaves were better fed for a few morsels. For this he would be severely beaten when caught. Instead of showing repentence, Douglass took no pains to conceal his resentment after each brushing. Auld, enraged, decided that he needed breaking in. Living not far away was a poor renter, named Covey who had earned a reputation at this sort of thing. Masters had been known to send their stubborn slaves to Covey, free of charge for a year. When they were returned they would be thoroughly tamed. At last Douglass succeeded in getting a sailor's uniform and passport, and decided to make a dash for freedom. To avoid having to buy a ticket he waited until the train had started and then ran for it. To full suspicion he had learned the sailor's linge, and swaggered like one. But there was one great danger: the description on the passport did not tally with himself. It called for one much darker. Besides there was the possibility of meeting someone who knew him. And he did meet two such persons: a ship-captain with whom he had talked but a day or two before, and a German ship-carpenter with whom he had worked. The first man did not recognize him, and the second said nothing. To Covey, Douglass was sent, and Douglass gladily went. In this new place he at least hoped to get enough to eat. Covey was t. round-shouldered, bull-necked man, above middle height, with a thin wolfish face; ferocious and strong. He at once set Douglass to doing field-work, his first time at it. Three days later, on a slight pretext, Covey beat him so severely that the blood flowed. A few days later he beat him again. He had given him a team of unbroken oxen in a cart to fetch wood. On the way the oxen crashed into a gate. Covey, cutting down a sapling, lashed him till the sapling flew into bits. From now on, overwork and the lash were his regular companions. As to study, that was out of the question. The dark night of slavery closed in on him, dragging him almost to the level of the brutes. Longing, he would watch the ships sailing to free lands and wish he would be long ago he had made up his mind to escape at the first opportunity. But his spirit was far from being broken, and one day when Covey selved him by the leg, trying to tie him with a rope, he showed fight. Covey's cousin, Hughes, came rushing to his aid, but Douglass rising to his feet hurled his six feet of fire, young manhood at Hughes and bearing him armfully as he smelled him, then turning to Covey he pounded him with his fists until he was dragged off by a slave woman. **Stirs Insurrection** To strike the masster meant death, but even that seemed welcome to Douglass after what he was suffering. To his surprise, however, Covey kept silent about the matter. Covey knew that it would hurt his reputation and finally his purse, if ever the story got out. He never tried to beat Douglass after that. Six months later he was hired to another man, but still unattended, he tried to his fellow-slaves to revolt. He had been stirred by Patrick Henry's "Give me liberty or give me death." But betrayed by one of them, he was dragged fifteen miles to jail, tied to a horse. After he spent several weeks in there he was released at Auld's request. He was then sent to a shipyard to learn caulking. Here he was instructed to do whatever any of the carpenters in town thus coming would send him on various errands, them after knocking him down, kicked him in the eye, nearly bursting the ball. At another time four of them sprang on him at once. Of this incident, he says: "Dear reader, you can hardly believe this statement, but it is true, and therefore I write it down: no fewer than fifty white men stood by and saw this brutal and shameful outrage, and that one's face was beaten and battered most horribly, and no one said, 'That's enough', but someone cried, 'Kill him' Knock his brains out, was being trained in a hard school indeed. Is it any wonder that later his eloquence was so terrific? After this incident, Auld took him away from the shipyard not out of sympathy but because his property was being damaged. He was now allowed to hire himself to turn over this money to his master galled him, and made him more kicking and cuffing him when he did not move fast enough. Once one of out and bring home his wages on Saturday nights; but the idea of having determined than ever to escape. Escapes Under Disguise Escapees Not far away was Pennsylvania. If he could only reach Philadelphia he would be out of slavery. But how to get there? The *e.gulations* on both the railroads and the steamships we so stringent that it was difficult for even a free Negro to get a ticket. Such a one had first to present his papers which were carefully examined. Has Worn One Pair of Shoes 20 Years By JENNIE DAUGHTRY Can you imagine anyone wearing a pair of shoes twenty years and keeping them in good condition without ever having them repaired? It seems improbable. yet that is the story related to me by Lee Battle, sixty-four-year-old chef of the Mercer University Cafeteria in Macon. soled; they have never been renamed in any way and are now in good condition." As he said this, I glanced at his I was having lunch at the cafeteria an! Lee was partly engaged in clearing away the dishes from the table where I sat. "I've worn these shoes for twenty years. Yesm. I bought them in 1909 and since that time, I've worn 'em The 20-year-old shoes—still in service every time I dressed up to go anywhere. They have never been half- The Slave-Trainer Stirs Insurrection At last Douglass succeeded in getting a sailor's uniform and passport, and decided to make a dash for freedom. To avoid having to buy a ticket he waited until the train had started and then ran for it. To tull suspicion he had learned the sailor's lingo, and swaggered like one. But there was one great danger: the description on the passport did not tally with himself. It called for one much darker. Besides there was the possibility of meeting someone who knew him. And he did meet two such persons: a ship-captain with whom he had talked but a day or two before, and a German ship-carpenter with whom he had worked. The first man did not recognize him, and the second said nothing. A day later he was in New York. Free at last! This was September 3, 1833. He was then twenty-one. But the danger was not yet past. There was the fugitive slave law, and the masters had Negro spies in the North to look out for runaways. Judges, too, were paid $10 a head for each fugitive returned. In New York he worked at showelining coal or anything he could get to do. Then hoping to get work at his trade, he went to the ship-yards at New Bedford, Mass. But the prejudice was too strong for that, even in the North, and he was offered work at tending a furnace. Aconpires Second Name His duty was to keep it hot enough to keep the metal running. This was done by pumping a heavy pair of bellows. Now, while pumping the bellows he nailed a newspaper to a nearby post and read it as he worked. With freedom, he had been spending every spare moment in study. Up to this time he had had but one name, his Christian one. He had long been inspired by the noble character of Douglass, in Scott's Marmion, and he took that as his surname. About this time, too, he met a free colored woman, named Anna Murray. Later he married her. While in New Bedford he read also the librator, an anti-railtive paper, edited by William Lloyd Garrison. Garrison's motto was: "Color prejudice is rebellion against God." This was the feeling of Douglass, three years passed during which a still smaller group very important in his life. An anti-slavery convention was being held at Nantucket, and he went to it. As it was known that he was an escaped slave he was called on to speak. He had never addressed an audience before and he began stammeringly, out as he spoke he gathered momentum until he was pouring out a story such as anti-slavery auditors had never heard from any slave before; it was coming from the depths of his own bitter experience. The effect exceeded anything that Douglass had expected: "The crowded congregation," said Parker Pillsbury, a spectator, "had been wrought up almost to enchantment as he turned over the terrible apocalypse of his experience in slavery." The effect was greater yet when Garrison rose to speak. "What I want to know is this." he thundered, "that we been listening to a thing, a piece of property, or a man." "A man! A man!" shouted the audience. "Shall such a man be sent back to slavery from the soil of Old Massachusetts?" demanded Garrison. "No, thousand times. No. Sooner let the lightness of Heaven blast Bunker Hill monument until not one 'one shall be left on another.'" Mr. present realised the value of this fugitive slave to the cause. It was good to have white men plead for the slave; it was still more effective to have an intelligent slave of such fine and commanding appearance do it. Garrison engaged him as a lecturer on the spot. A new and powerful force had come into the field. Garrison and his followers left that convention stirred to mighter efforts in the cause of righteousness. (In the conclusion half of this great story, Mr. Rogers will deal with "D. glass, the Abolitionist and Champion of his People." He will tell graphically how Douglass crushed the force that would have crushed him.) How Many Miles to the Gallon? A little girl from the city had been visiting in the country, and was being questioned as to what kind of a time she had. Finally some one said, "I bet you don't even know how to milk a cow." "Bet I do" she said. On being pressed for particulars as to how it was done, she replied, give her scene breakfast food and water and then you drain her crankoose sold; they have never been renamed in any way and are now in good condition." "I said this. I glanced at at his brightly shined shoes which had the appearance of having been worn probably two or three months. "Every Saturday evening, I go to the store to buy a shave. I wear these shoes. I wear them to church every Sunday since I not 'em. I never use any polish on them. I rub 'em unniproof on the shave. I wear keeps 'em brighter." Here he rubbed his hand back and forth to demonstrate how he did it. Finding me an interested listener, he set aside his tray of dishes and cocooned them. "These shoes cost only seven dollars and thirty-eight cents. Now they sell for twelve dollars. Two college boys wrote them. They probably proudly as he added, 'An' both of 'em made A." "Lee, I said, 'the factory that makes these shoes would probably pay for prices for them to use advertising.'" "Yesm. I've been told that before. I knew they were telling me to tell them to keep their money. All I want is my shoes." And I was chewing, checking, out of the room. 0 Baffling Murders THE GRIFFIN MURDER CASE The Police Department Receives a Mysterious Letter From "Messrs. Death & Co." ONCE again, and, incidentally for the last time, the three of us—Holcomb, Miles and myself—had sought our well-known "criminal laboratory" on the north veranda. Never had a former detective, a writer, and a business man enjoyed their vacations at a summer resort more than had we three. No, we shall never forget Eagle Rest, in the Virginia mountains! There was Holcomb settled comfortably in his rocker by the rail, almost invisible in the darkness now, the glow over his pipe bowl brightening and dimming by turns so that every so often we saw again that finely-chisled, interesting, dark face. It was Miles who started the ball rolling for us on this night, so to speak. Himself only a shareless silhouette, he suddenly leaned forward and started talking in that mischievous voice of his, and abruptly our little corner came to life. "We shall proceed, gentlemen," he augured, "into a matter that this not only elicits the whole civilized world, but has defied the best minds in the profession of detection! No, there simply is no answer to this preposterous crime—" Perforce Holcomb and I had to his analyses in such anchanging ways. "Yes, slightly." Holcomb chuckled; "I had decided to let the matter of the bird rest in favor of the Griffin murder case. What say?" "If you please!" Miles and I said almost in unison. The frivolities were over. Both Miles and myself hunged forward in our chairs apprehensible, and then finally Holcomb words were pausing and picture on our desk; we could see Chicago chief of detectives, Roggert, hunched on his desk, a stale cigar clamped between his lips, his biphyte eyebrows brilted up like miniature porcupines, his snapping eyes glued upon the typewritten sheet of heavy bond paper between his freckled fingers. And behind him stood Detective Holcomb, biding low, his brown face drawn in great concern as his own eyes ran rapidly over the words again and again. Chief of Detectives, Chicago. Str. This is to inform you that there has been launched in your city an experimental hospital, Death & Company, and also to inform you of the successful completion of contract with our first client, Park Hotel, which will find in Room 613, Park Hotel. You will, of course, find her dead. Both for your information, and in justice to the aims of this firm, I wish to point out the ordinary murder, with the ordinary murder, for the reason that our clients contract for their deaths; they pay for this precisely as they would for any other highly specialized case, conceived in the belief that there exists a field for the professional Death Inducer. Further, we believe that after the human body detention the extent to which it possesses a liability the mind, with the resultant miserable existence, the owner of such body should have at his or her command, a specialist to take matters in hand and ease the ordinary agreeable world; namely, death. Hence, thanks to an important scientific discovery made by members of this firm the scientific type of death as against the ordinary feared death or suicide. Our method is 100 per cent painless. Our experience with the first client proved this beyond Finally, I wish to say that it shall be the policy of this firm to inform your office upon the completion of the contract, so that our activities will be confined with ordinary crime. Very truly yours D. O. "Well, I'll be durn't" Chief Roggerty suddenly whisked up the telephone and commenced to bark. "T'll phone ahead, Holcomb." he growled, waiting for the connection. "You beat it over there! Of all the crazy ideas!" Already Holcomb had snatched up his hat and rushed from the room. Out in the hall he encountered Officer Brown, of the Missing Persons Bureau. "Just looking for you, Holcomb!" he cried, thrusting a yellow report sheet into his hand. "Case over the wires from Brigade." The elevator door opened and swallowed Holcomb up instantly. On the way down, we was hurriedly scanning the Missing from home; David Griffin, sixty, dark, frail, ninety-eight pounds. Last seen at nine o'clock this morning. Holomb left the building on the run. A half hour later, with Resident Manager Hopkins and House Detective Smith, Holomb was standing in Room 613, Park Hotel. The two windows had been thrown open, but still that stifling scent had smote their nostrils before lingered—a strange odor that had been a hundred different kinds of perfume mixed with something putrid! In a chair over against the wall, to the right of the little dressing table, a frail old woman sat slumped forward over the right arm rest; a grey-haired bit of a woman, she was dressed simply in black broadcloth and there was the mark of long fering imprinted upon a brown, brown features. It was he lay an old-fashioned handbag in her lap wat a small handkerchief, and on the back a furled umbrella, zed over her blue bat. Holcomb touche, the bony little fingers and drew away; they were bending, examined with interest the discolored places on either side of the tip of her nose. He straightened up and walked backwards to the two men. "Ye gods!" Mr. Hopkins exclaimed. "Do you think she actually submitted to this outrage?" Holcomb nodded noncommittally. "God!"—the house detective. DE IMPORTANT A "Well, I'll be durn!" he growled. still warm. Again he advanced and, Holcomb went to the phone and had a quiet talk with Roggerty. "That dignitary was furious. Yes, he would notify the family, and send the coroner. Anything. Might even come over himself. . . . Now the well-known sleuth faced the two startled men and began talking rapidly at which the house detective led the way out of the room across the hall, while the manager hastened away toward the elevators. Five, ten, minutes passed. Holcomb, a dozen nervous employees staring at him silently, and with the hotel register lying open on his knees, was seated in Room 612, the manager and the house detective standing by the door. "Now," Holcomb broke the long silence, "which one of the bellroom Mr. McGregor?" The dapper little desk clerk turned to a tall, light-complexioned chap, who proceeded to edge his way nearer. "Were her actions or remarks in any way unusual?" "No, sir—she just sort of smiled and closed the door." later2 t Dramatic Story Printed! By William T.

"Emmm!—now the maids, please." The fathish housekeeper urged two uniformed maids forward, and Holcomb went on again. "You young women spend a good part of your time in the 'alls. I suppose?" he queried us, the latter saying that women nodded in acquiescence. "Do either of you recall seeing anyone leaving, entering, or ingering near £13 this morning?" "No, sir." The housekeeper stepped up and made a little speech to the same effect, and Holcomb turned once again to the house detective. "And you still can't recall anything of importance?" "Not a thing, Holcomb—only that funny odor. As soon as the maid reported it, I took the elevator up. A few moments later, Mr. Hopkins came up with Chief Rogerty's message and we let ourselves in 613. We hung in there fifteen minutes when you came." With an air of disappointment, Holcomb gestured the employees out of the room. The manager followed, cautioning them to silence. The house detective wrinkled his brow and lingered. "Nell's bells!" he cried. "What do you make of it: Holcomb?" Came an absent-minded reply. The celebrated sleuth might have been alone talking to himself. "I'm going to look for a——" "A what?" "An idiot who thinks he's wise."

Miss. — An alligator weighing 450 pounds and measuring ten feet, which was captured in a swamp, swatted a spectator into his mouth with his tail. It was necessary to use crow-bars to release the victim. HearMeTalkin'toYa IT WON'T BE LONG now before the thud of cleated boot against pikinis is heard in the land, consequently it might not be amiss to dish up a little gridiron dope culled throughout a period of days. The first bit of info comes from Howard University, where it seems that grave concern is held for the 1930 pikinis prospect. The Student Council at Howard. I learn, has circularized the Bison alumni, and alumnae too, for that matter, with an appeal to come to the support of a sport that is on wobbly legs upon the hill. Howard's poor showing in football, the councilmen believe, has been directly traceable to the lack of training table for the players. To quote the president of the Council: The question might arise as to how does the lack of a training table interfere with the ability of men to play football. This is the answer: Many of the football men are self-supporting students. In order to secure their proper meals they are forced to secure work away from campus. To practise many of the ground classes by day and work by night for the sake of a good meal cause many stars to give up the game and work havoc with those who stick. Often "hot dogs" and "soda pop" are their daily rations. The natural result of this situation has been evidenced by all. Through contributions from graduates and undergraduates it is planned to have a training table at Howard this fall. Remembering the Howard elevenes of the days B.T.T.C. (Before Training Tables Ceased) it might be well for other schools, particularly those in the Seceylayan, to look to their laurels when the Thunderning Herd stampedes upon the gridiron. Sir Willyum, the Taylor, of Baltimore and Lincoln University, types it is going things ready at the Pennsylvania school for a big year, having spent a highly profitable summer at the University of Michigan coaching school. Coach Taylor didn't say it, but knowing the prospective material he has and the fighting spirit that the Lions can muster, it would be surprising to find his warriors well at the top of the football heap when Turkey Day rolls around. More news from the Lincoln camp will be released shortly. Also attending the University of Michigan school was Coach "Gid" Smith of Hampton. Just how much the play of the Seasiders will resemble that of the Lionpack, one cannot say, but that the crafty Virginia mentor shipped a wrinkle while the other boys weren't looking at him. The wrinkle or two into his bag with Lincoln and Hampton again meeting in New York in November it would not do to have the style of the two teams too closely alike. No, sigh. Here, at Morgan College, prospects are brighter than usual, despite the loss of a half dozen stars via graduation. There will be twenty-five or thirty new candidates reporting, in addition to the old men who will be returning, and Coach Hurt and Marse Hill, his assistant, fresh from Northwestern University where they learned some new football tricks, will find plenty of work to do when practice starts on September 15. Among the candidates will be John J. Hurt, a brother of Coach Hurt, who it is said possesses fine qualities as an end. The Kiah brothers, Lycurgor and also, from Princess Anne, are also expected, while from the Douglass High School, Ed Tarter, Bill Gardner and Calvin Davenport are likely to report. Down Petersburg way, where Harold Martin holds sway, plans are being laid for a vigorous campaign. The Hilltoppers, from their position at the top of the heap, will furnish a plenty of trouble this year as they always have. Any squaw that includes such names as Oliver, Brocks, Cropp, Dahney, the Johnsons, Overby, Claph, Harrison and others, should be respected. Alitchae Hucles, at Virginia Union, as usual, is saying little, "Huke," if you know him, has a way of doing that that makes conjectures concerning the Panther teams way uncurtain. You can bet, however, that if the team does not have a team of champions for the alibi, they will have one that will make the way rocky for the team that does win the title. The football bug is making his rounds, and if you haven't been hitten, it won't be long. This 'n' That— Al Manley of Smith University writes to tell me that James O.

I'm Leffink— The old timer who told me: "Sometime you ain't, and when you thinks you ain't, if I am to consider seriously what A. I chronicler for that mid-westary papyrus, had to say. I have been accused, because of sor columnae in a fortnight age, of maligning it and of poking fun at the lighting equi Monarchs. And I am plumped. The old timer who told me: "Sometime when you thinks you is, yo ain't, and when you thinks you ain't, you is," was certainly right, if I am to consider seriously what A. D. Williams, eminent sports chronicler for that mid-western papyrus, the Kansas City Call, has had to say. I have been accused, because of something appearing in these columys a fortnight age, of maligning the cause of night baseball and of poking fun at the lighting equipment of the Kansas City Monarchs. And I am plued. Here is what I wrote: A night game was scheduled for Baltimore but was called off when it was found that the lighting equipment of the visiting team was hardly more than sufficient to furnish illumination for a good game of diddledewinks. Local fans are anxious to see how the nocturnal pastiming goes over, and will have their doubts of its efficiency until they have had an opportunity to see for themselves. A night game was scheduled for B when it was found that the lighting equipment was hardly more than sufficient to furnish game of tiddledewinks. Local fans are nocturnal pastiming goes over, and will efficiency until they have had an opportunity. Spying these words, Mr. Williams has and wrote: "We note particularly that Mr. Gibb name of the club supposed to have been Spying these words, Mr. Williams hastened to his L. C. Smith and wrote: "We note particularly that Mr. Gibson does not mention the name of the club supposed to have been booked for the night game at Baltimore, for reasons, no doubt, best known to himself, but we will not go into this. It does not matter as the identity of the club is easily known to those who trail sports with any degree of interest and efficiency. However, we know to happen that the club mentioned above is none other than the Kansas City Monarchs, and at the same time we know a few more important things about the incident mentioned perhaps unknown to Gibson at the time he typed his lines quoted above." The Missouri fourth estatesman was never more wrong in his life than when he made that statement, because the team of which I wrote to the Kansas City Monarchs is a team of white male and female players, harassing at that time, through this region. The writer never dreamed that there had been any negotiations for a game between the Monarchs and the Black Sox. Had he known it, he would have certainly said so. Mr. Williams then continued with a nice bit of agenting for the Monarchs which was very prettily written, but which, other than filling the column, had no bearing on anything-written by this humble scribbler. There are courses in inductive and deductive reasoning, however, that can remedy such a condition. Beg poddon, Mr. Williams. It won't happen again. DETROIT DIVIDES BILL WITH CUBAN STARS Motor City Nine Wins First Game, 8-0, but Drop No. 2, 8 to 7. WHITE OWNER OUT Mose Walker at Helm Following Heated Argument. By RUSSELL J. COWANS DETROIT:—John Roesink, white owner of the Detroit Stars, feeling the weight of the wave of resentment against his derogatory remarks to Negro fans, stepped aside Thursday, when it was evident the fans would not attend his Hamtramck stadium with him at the helm. Mose Walker, a race man, and part owner of the team, has assumed full charge, taking over the reins Thursd after a heated conference with the former owner, ball players and newspapermen, after hearing the news, told Mr. Walker they were with him to the finish. The outing of Roesink marks the end of a fight waged by the fans for the last three weeks. The park attendance was marked by a single star signed with started in 1819. With the announcement that Roiskin was out the fans turned in large numbers Sunday to witness the double-header between the bans and first game, 8-0, but lost the nightcap, 8-7 to break their winning streak of 22 consecutive games. Fourteen of the games were league games and sent the Stars on top by a substantial margin. Roiskin rode to their 21 consecutive game Saturday behind the superb hurling of Ted Shaw, stering southwash. The final count was, 8-4. **CUBANS** **DETROIT** | ab r h a | ab r h a | | :--- | :--- | | Alouzo, rf, | 4 0 2 | Johnstone, lf, | 5 1 1 | 1 0 0 | | Opees, xf, | 3 0 1 | Johnstone, lf, | 4 1 1 | 1 0 0 | | P.

NEW YORK—Playing before a large crowd at the Catholic Protectory Oval Sunday, the Black Sox took advantage of poor pitching and four errors in the part of the New York team, to win a 16-8 victory. In the second game of the doubleheader Bill Holland took the mound for the Giants and let the Baltiants down with a lone hit. The final score was 7-1. This game was halted in the sixth inning because of a rainstorm. Ryan Beaten Red Ryan, who has defeated Baltimore both in New York and at their home grounds, was a bit off form on Sunday and was playing the beginning of the fifth inning after allowing 10 hits. His poor pitching was matched by Billy Yancey's poor fielding, as Yancey made three of his team's four errors However, Yancey was not off form with the willow. He was a member of Lincoln Giants team to make a home run. Other home runs were made in runs. He was a member of Baltimore. The local team quickly regained their form for the second game and played excellent ball behind him, but the shutout would have been scored but for an error by Brown. When Brown attempted to throw Lucien, the ball hit the bat of Esciclion and he threw the ball wild, which enabled Lundy to come home. Beckwith Back Johnny Beckwith, who has been out of the game for the past seven weeks with a broken leg, was able to get in the lineup on Sunday. He went in as a pinch hitter for Manager Lloyd in the first contest. The fifth hole Club will be the attraction next Sunday.

Recent successes of Eddie Tolan, the Flying Michiganander, on the track, particularly his victories over George Simpson, the Ohio State University star, have occasioned many comments and have brought forth memories of Negro stars of other days. Wilfrid Smith, writing in the Chicago, Ill., says, "Biddle The Times' victories over George Simpson, Ohio State spinner, in the summer track campa.gn have gained him revenge for his series of defeats during the collegiate season. More than this, they again have established the Negro star as one of America's greatest sprinters. Slow Reaching Form "Tolan was slow rounding into form during the outdoor collegiate campaign. At no time did he approach his mark of 9 5-10 seconds for 100 yards, which was accepted as the world's best by the international federation last March at its meeting in Berlin. He was defeated by Simpson, Frank Wykoff and Ed Toppino in the national collegiate meet at Staggy field. Previously he met with Simpson in the Western conference meet at Evanston. "With a discouraging record in the spring relay carnivals, there were many who believed Tolan's world mark was a flash and did not compare with the more consistent performances of Simpson and Wykoff. Will Represent U. S. "Neither Tolan nor his coaches at Michigan, however, lost heart. And now that he's back in championship form, it is a certain that he will represent the United States in a special invitation 100 yard race against the three best dashmen of the British empire at the international meet Aug. 27 at Soldiers' field. His achievements recall the athletic performances of others of his race. Negroes have established many records in the sprints and jumps and apparently have a particular aptitude for these events. With his mile race in the quarter mile race and possibly only one great star in the half mile, they have not excelled in other track and field events. "However, the speed and springiness which nature gives the Negro has prominence in football, basketball and boxing. College nines have produced many Negro stars who might have made their mark in professional baseball were the organized leagues owen to them. The performers the Negro National league are Drew Shared Dash Work "Howard P. Drew, University of Southern California's Negro spinner, long hold a share in the world 100 yard dash record of 9 3-6 seconds. He was named Biggest Mass. High School as a baggage man before attending the University of Southern California. After being graduated he attended law school at Drake University and now is an attorney. "Ten years ago Pete White and Roy Morse were running the dashes for the Crescent Athletic club in New York City, where he was in the metropolitan district of the A.U.A. Sol Buffler "Bol Butter is another Negro who will be remembered for his athletic ability while a student at the institution established intercollegiate records at Northwestern and Chicago while a prep at Butchinson, Kansas. Later and from there went to Dubuque. Butter not only was a great sprinter, but he also was an all-round performer, participating in both the American jump and the newspaper work in Chicago. "Ned Gourdin of Harvard is another of the list of Negroes at the time. At one time he intercollegiate跨界 jump championship with a mark of 25 feet 3 inches. De Hart Hubbard "De Hart Hubbard will be remembered by Michigan. He established a world record of 25 feet 3 inches intercollegiate meet. In 1925, Hubbard now is a playground instructor at Cincinnati. Two men have been able to surpass Hubbard's mark in the subsequent NEW YORK—Bruce Flowers, veteran New Rochelle lightweight, who sprang back into the limelight recently by his one-round win, knocked out in the sixth round of a scheduled 10-round bout at the Queenboro Stadium, Tuesday night, by Justo Suarez, South American lightweight champion. Flowers went down for the count of nine in the second round, and was knocked down in the third, but hung on gamely in the fourth and fifth sessions. Five boxes were stopped after the fifth, five boxes boxers weighed in at 138 pounds. D.C. "Y" Nine Wins WASHINGTON, D.C.—The Twelfth Street "Y" Baseball Team continued its winning streak Saturday, with an 8 to 5 win over the Halls Hill Nine, on the Halls Hill Field. Slim Henderson was called upon to do mount duty for the "Y", while Lewis toled for the home team. Slim was nicked for seven hits and Lewis yielded twelve to the Washington men. The "Y" Sluggers went on the war-path in the fifth, seventh and eighth. A home run by Monroe was the fielding of Walker and Brent was a contender; their shoe string catches drawing the applause of the crowd often. five years. Ed Hamm of Georgia Tech won the 1928 Olympic title with a jump of 25. He was the first African American to be held by a Negro from Hastil. He jumped 26 feet in 1928 in a post-College met in Paris. He's the Gordon at Iowa. "Edward L. Gordon, L Iowa's great track star who prepped at Gary, Ind., is the latest in the list of Negro broad jumpers. His jump was the 1930 intercollegiate meet at Stag's Gulch. "John B. Taylor, who was a famous quarter meter at the University of Pennsylvania, was the first of his race to excel in this event. However, it remained for Henry Dismond, familiarity with Chicago Bing to establish himself as one of the greatest at this distance. "Dismond's best time of 47 4-10 seconds in 1916 tied Ted Mercedith's best time for the 400 yard dash. The Pennsylvania star always seemed to have an edge over Dismond. He was the first in the intercollegiate of 1916. Dismond still holds the Western conference record. He's the goer quarter meter, is worthy of mention. "Phil Edwards of Columbus, a native of British Guiana, is famous both as a quarter miler and in the half mile. Edwards will play in the 1912 and 1913 games of the British Empire team. He set a mark in 1 minute 52 2-10 seconds while winning the inception game of the Meredith's mark made in 1916. Another exception to the general run of track stars is Gus Moore, an AAA member. Moore won the title in 4:15. He now holds the metropolitan title. The track stars who should be included in a list of great Negro athletes are Gable and Alexander Jackson, both of Harvard. Cable, now a dentist in Indiana, has been a champion hammer throw in 1912 and 1913. Jackson was hurdle champion and is president of the board of directors of the Provident Great Negro Grid Players "Pritz Pollard, Paul Robson, and Duke Slater head the list of great NEG football ballback in 1916 by Walter Camp while playing at Brown University. Robson, who attended Rutgers, was paired on the same team as Slater and was remarkable record as a tackle at Iowa under Howard Jones needs no explanations.

Cook is Pioneer in Guidance in Colored Schools; is a Leader of College Women and is Civic Worker. "No particular hobby, but a love for the beautiful in life," characterizes Mrs. Vivian Johnson Cook, vice-principal of Baltimore's largest junior high school and pioneer in vocational guidance work here. Mrs. Cook says that if she has any hobby at all, it is to work with the social agencies of the communities where she lives. She has made it a policy ever since her first position with the Urban League of New York City, where she worked following her graduation from Columbia University, to link herself up with the institutions for social service.

Is Vocational Counselor To the teachers and pupils of the senior and junior high schools of the city she is known best as the pioneer teacher in the school work. Mrs Cook was appointed four years ago, as vocational counselor. Two years later she was appointed as vice-principal of the Booker T. Washington Junior High School. Speaker with the department, she stated that the department during the past year had been able to link itself with the Child Welfare Association, the pediatric Clinic at Hopkins Hospital and various social and health agencies. This work has been done in addition to the vocational phase, through which they have found as many opportunities as girls of junior high school age. "Guidance in its trust sense is much more than vocational and educational," explained Mrs Cook. "The teachers also be physical, social and moral. It must develop character qualities such as honesty, dependability, initiative, courtesy and other desirable traits." Mrs Cook also received more varied occupational opportunities." In speaking of her own training she said: "I graduated from the Le, Moey Institute, Memphis, Teen, an American Missionary Association School, which for a number of years served as a school to Fisk University, where I was graduated with the degree of A.B. after which I studied at Columbia University, taking my master's degree. "My first year was a experience school at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. The following year I taught for a month at the McCall School in Cincinnati, before being called to teach in the Summer High School. St. Louis, Mo. Here I stayed four years, teaching English and science." "During this time I have studied at Columbia and Chicago Universities at summer sessions, and at Ocean City, N.J. I have took at our course, taught by Rutgers University. Most of this work was in sociological sciences directed toward vocational guidance."

A prominent young lawyer was found shot to death in his apartment. It was unquestionably a case of suicide. He left no word of explanation as to why, on the eve of what appeared to be the beginning of a most successful career, he should choose to step out of life. A Health-building Beverage made under our special formula. of products of superior excellence. 16 There are two people who know They are my broken-hearted daughter and -I. Her life lies in ruins about her. The knowledge is oiter in my heart because mine is the in and mine must forever be the secret knowledge that, as I sowed the so I and children of my children children perhaps, must提醒 whilwild. I am a man of sixty. I was born just after the Civil War. of free-born parentage. The free Negroes three days formed a class practically apart from the great masses of their own folk. This was partly the result of laws passed by certain states to prevent what they considered a menace to the morale of their bond servants and partly by a disposition to the part of the free themselves. They used themselves on almost several steps above their brothers who were in bondage. My father had accumulated what, in those days was considered great wealth for a Negro. The gre t ambition of all people of color that time as to gain an education that Pew school was to them, however I was -mt to one of these few. In the large city where the school to which I was sent was located, there was a large Negro population. When I was not in school I associated freely and happily with my own people. Their social life was of necessity somewhat limited. The church was the one center of social socialization, the rest, there were questionable pleasure, in still more questionable society. Like most young men of my day and time, I drew a very . . . definite line between the two. But I reserved to myself the right to cross that line at will, only stipulating that my women folk and their associates remain definitely within the pale. The moral code of most was in much greater detail than now, a man-made code; and as there were double standards of conduct, there were double standards of life for men and women. In common with the other young fellows whose blood flowed warm with youth. I frequently sought companion with young women outside of the pale. There was one place in particular that was the mecca for the wild companion and I sought to break the monotony of my life as a student with more money than was good for me and less interest in my studies than I would have had if I had been compelled to earn my way. The place was a ramshackle frame house that stood across the street from the Union station at the entrance of the more pronounced brick building that tested it. This house was a sort of boarding house for rrload porters and janitors of the nearby buildings. It served also as a restaurant frequented by Negro passengers who could not obtain service from the regular places patronize by the general traveling public. Frequently, person who were compelled to stay over between trains would rent one of the squail, poorly furnished rooms for a nominal sum. The income from these rooms was but the least of the questionable means of procuring money within the proprietor, a big brass brutal-faced m. resorted. Gambing games were always in progress in some of the many rooms of the old building. Drinks were procured and served from the back entrance to the saloon facing the street. A percentage of the sales was the remuneration of "Brownie," the owner and operator of the dive. Often the girls who frequented this house of sin were very beautiful. One night after having attended a social function in a little Methodist church to and from which I had escorted her who was later to become the evening with a gambling and drinking, but at Brownie's. Ordinarily, I could have chosen to have begun my evening earlier but the next day was to be my last in the city for some time. It was the beginning of the vac tion period. I was to leave for home on an at- BB The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, August 23, 1930 ternacn train. Once there, I know that all such pleasures of the senses would be out of my reach. The small town where I lived provided me means of evil as were made possible by the greater numbers of people and their comparative lack of close and intimate acquaintance. --- When I entered the den of iniquity that night, it was comparatively quiet. I noted a light in the upper front room, the one usually reserved for travelin' transients, as I came around the corner of the big brick building that housed the saloon in front. Someone stranded for the night with no hotel accommodations, so they're having to put up Browne's. I thought casually. About an hour later, I had had quite a number of drinks and was feeling mellow and adventurous. Browne eyed me secretly. Notice that he seemed unusually interested in my enjoyment. I wondered. Then at last, he came out, to the table and down to whisper a question in my ear. "How'd you like to meet a pippin, Boy?" he said. There was no doubt in my mind as to his meaning. I smiled up at him acquiescently, "Lead me to her," I answered, laconicly. Her name was Lilly. She was traveling on her way to the Southern city near which I was borr. I knew without questioning her the purpose for which she was going there. The beautiful clothes, the plentiful money, the unusual beauty, the blase look in the gray eyes, told me what her type was. But she was young. I knew that life had been treating her harshly and that her very youth" and love of beauty and the real life that had ended her into the path from which she would probably never turn aside. However, that meant nothing to me. then. I. to was young and life meant nothing to me except sensual pleasure. I looked into her eyes and, instinctively, my heart teaped. It was but the love of the flesh for beauty, but to her it meant something from life that was more than something just to be bought and paid for in gold. She was for sale, but she longed for something better. I represented to her the things that she desired above gold. I was youth and love and passion not based on price. In that one high moment of Lilly's life I took the greatest gift a woman can give to anyone. I took her love and in return I gave her husks. To me she was just another pretty toy to be appreciated for the moment. I had no reason, no particular desire, to hide my name and identity from her. There was no need. Such connections as mine and Lilly's were too easily consummated and just as readily dissolved. So it was, that I was all unprepared for the letter that came to my father the next term of school. It told the child that had been born to the girl of my passing fancy. My greatest anxiety was to keep the news from my mother and my fiancée. In this my father aided and abetted me. "Now, Jack." he said as he was leaving me after his trip to the Southern city where Lilly is from which he was the school he was way home. "let this be a lesson to you. From now on I want you to cut out this sort of thing. I understand, of course. You are hardy to blame. I know it is the us. all thing. I have fixed it up. "I took Clemons (a lawyer) to see the woman and he paid her off and she is shut up for good. The big thing is to keep this on your mother and Clara. (Clara and I were to be married in the fall.) I went to settle down and make a man of yourself. You've sowed your wild oats, and now that you, are through, let's hear no more of them." Ah, God, as I recall those words today, how fervently I regret the sowing of those wild oats and how future I know I cee power of man to be, in rooting up that which, once sown, must grow to full fruitage. I never saw Lilly again. I moved West and settled in M—a thriving Mid-Western city. I may, Clara, but God I must just begin, but God of His mill even then. Passionately as we desired children, none were born to that union. Clara died and left me a childless widower in the second year of our marriage. As if in mockery of the thing my heart most desired I was phenomenally successful in a business way. Money piled upon it's for me. Years passed. At last, in my loneliness, I married a second time. As if I lead me on to hopes of happiness, as I had led to happiness, and as God blessed my marriage was blessed—God did I say "blessed" may, it was cursed—with the birth of a beautiful daughter. My little girl grew up. She was the spoiled and petted darling of a home where everything revolved around her. Then the first blow fell when she was *solve*. Her mother died. I tried to love her for both. My love for my daughter now became the one great' force of my life. I loved her with a supreme love. Then ther came into her li' the inevitable. I was no longer all in to my child. THE Man entered, and for the first time all things else had 'second place. Carl Drexle was a fine type of man. There was nothing about him to which I could object. I sincerely liked him. Graduate of a Central Western college, he was a fine type of young lawyer. He was unusually handsome. He had a natural charm and grace that reminded me of the old South as I knew it in my boyhood. Carl had no living relatives, but I made inquiries about him from the faculty of the college. I found that their opinions of him rated him very highly. He was a young man of sterling qualities, so they said, and I quite习惯attentions. Carl himself told me that, his father had died when he was quite young, and his mother, who sent him through college, had died the year following his graduation. The marriage of my daughter was a very happy affair. I presented them a perfectly appointed home as a wedding present. The day following their homecoming and their welcome by a big reception, I went to thel. home to have dinner with them. After dinner, we went to the den. Carl and I, alone. With a sigh of complete contentment and happiness I sank down in the big comfortable, winged chair beside the grate. Carl offered me the box of purse Hanazade that he had just opened. I reached out and touched it. A picture that Carl had placed over the desk from which he took the box, arrested my gaze. My hand froze. The blood flooded back on my heart. "Who is that?" I said. My voice was hoarse. A terrible fear reached out an icy hand of horror and gripped my throat. Its muscles were constricted. I could scarely breathe. Carl looked up at me. Bewildered question was in his face. Plainly he was puzzled. As he looked at me, I saw the alarmed surprise that began to rise to the surface of his gray eyes. "What's the matter; are you lily?" he questioned, anxiously. "No, no." I gasped. My whole soul was recolling in unthinkable dread of the thing that leered out at me room the dim recesses of a remorseful memory. "I—I—My God, man. WHO IS THAT?" I pointed with trembling finger to the picture. "That," he said, and his eyes were more bewildered than ever; then, suddenly as though he were trying to soothe and reassure a child who is frightened at the dark, he smiled. "Why, that is my mother. I is a old picture taken when I was a little shaver, and even that costume and the preposterous s they are, not going to bite you. Ow! they're pretty awful but—" The room awful around me. The picture on that desk was the likeness of—LULLY. Garl Drexle cursed me as I stumbled from that room that I had entered with him so blithely an hour before. I was never to see that room again, nor hear the voice of the man whose curses drove me from it. Those black curses will ring to my cars throughout eternity and beyond. The stricken look on my daughter's face when she left me after a night torn with grief and anguish will be constantly before my eyes to remind me of the black abyss from which no human hand can save her—nor that even the hand. God can remove from me the wind must so sowed the wind must rest the whirlwind. And, to add to the horrors, as I drink the broth of Hell that my own hands have brewed. I must see the child, for whom I would give my life and all that I am or have ever hoped to be, choking and losing her reason as she quaffs the awful brew with me. Oh, ye who sow the pause and remember that the reaping time must surely come. And where one seed is sowed, thousands spring up. THE END.

Germs on Plums, Not Fruit Itself, Cause of Illness "Are plants good for me? I have always heard that children should never eat them." This is a common question and comment heard at this season of the year. The animal disturbances of both children and adults have often been attributed to the eating of plums. It is true that plums contain considerable cellulose-roughage which has a laxative effect in excessive quantities, the cellulose is not sufficient to produce an unnatural and uncomfortable looseness of the bowels. The trouble is perhaps due to microorganisms (germs) in the fruit, cleaning fruit that is to be eaten raw. The surface of all fruit is a good harboring place for bacteria, yeasts and molds. The best fruit to wash thoroughly in contamination fruit is washed in warm water, then in cold water before eating. The addition of soap to the warm water is a harmless and effective way of roving greasy dirt. If eating thoroughly cleaned fruit produces effects, then the fruit should be skewed. Some people object to plums because of their acidity. Plums are one of the three fruits that leave an acid alkaline in the body (which is residue).

Calvert 6776 Over 9 Million a Day WATCHING THE BIG PARADE By RALPH MATTHEWS What are Theme Songs Doing to Your Child? Being a natural born optimist, I have tried to refrain from including anything in these columns that would make me a fit candidate for the "Viewers-with-Alarm" society. But there comes a time in every man's life when he must of necessity interest himself in the trend of things. To show some degree of apprehension concerning effect that this or that man has on those people, we laughingly call poserity, is but a symptom of approachage age. It is one of the milestones on the road to bald heads and graying hair around the temples. A sign that we are discerning hard-working, and taking our place among city fathers entering the sacred realms of sagedom. Too Much Censorship The effect of the cinema in the development of tender minds has already been proven through organizations, and their efforts at consensuality have long since ridged the silver screen of anything that savors of life as it actually exists—off the stage. American morality, based on the premise that, whatever you do in public is wrong, but the same thing behind closed doors has the sanction of being a person to voyage into life with even greater ignorance than that they naturally inherited from their parents, from time to time, have frightened the movie makers into believing that anything more human than "Alice in Wonderland" would be immediately barred from seeing the movie, and hence the screen has degenerated into one continual song. Society Being Undermined The theme song epidemic is uprooting the ancient and humoral institutions that society has labored so hard to establish throughout the ages. Even now I can see the need to teach children of their parents, which, in the case of the "old man," borders on contempt. I attribute this to the inability of the male parent to croon songs with any degree of nonchalance. When things go wrong the lander and the rent, when the mortgage is foreclosed, when the family car stalls en route to the picnic, when the burglar is making off with the life savings after shooting the grandmother, what does he do to alleviate the pain from the diema in which they find themselves? Does he break unrestrained into a sonorous theme song, that in the movies seems to overcome all obstacles, or does he stand around and look humiliated by a single word? Wine chances out of ten he will do the latter. Is there any wonder that children are losing respect for such a person? Old Serials Needed Since the motion picture has taken its place side by side with other necessities of life, such as the radio, rumble seats, and bootleggers, there is much it can do to improve it into our homes and hearts, but it is deplorable that the hardiness of the old thrillers will be lost to future generations. It was a certain something about the old serials like "Dead-eye Dick the Dashing Demon and his Death Defying Defense of Devil's Gulch," in ten episodes, that always snapped off at some crucial moment, with feeling that he could lift his weight in wildcats with his hands tied behind him. The talkie-bred youth has no such feeling of personal prowess after the death of pas songs, melodies that cannot be sung, melodies that cannot inspire the spirit of bravado once inspired by bearded bandits who could yank express trains off the track and lassos and never The complete disappearance of black muscles as a mark of manhood is also having a dastardly effect, and a deeply ejective one. The vodges in masculine perfection today seems to be a cross between a he and a she—slick of hair, tenor of voice, smooth of face, with but the old familiar trousers to the man, and the new solide ambition to be a pirates or bank robbers is on the decrease. No such unnatural tendencies were tolerated when I was a youth. The worst licking I ever received at a pier was of a little apatrices came when I unwillingly admitted that I wanted to go to college when I grew up. To go to Sunday School with a look of pleasure on one's face was an unpardonable punishment, the junior choir was nothing short of suicide. This is all changed now, I am told. Boys caught red handed with comic song books under their arms are allowed to go unpinned by their companions. Can we as fathers, mothers, aunts, and other objectionable though doting relatives, permit our youth to be exposed to such ditties? May God forbid. The theme song, in all its sharps and flats, must go. Our boys and girls must not be allowed to grow into manhood and womanhood believing that life is one thing; it unarms them to the vicissitudes they must naturally encounter. Every time they come home from the theatre exuberent over some catchy melody that seemed to solve everything, we should kick them in the back.

That cremation which is gaining increased favor in the larger cities more coronary space is inadequate, is no new fangled idea is proven by the fact that when Greece ruled the Mediterranean this was the approved execution of the remains. To be denied cremation was to be branded as an outcast. This was denied only to suicide, unteethhed children and persons struck by lightning.

Been in to enlightenment a section in New York City, wakes are still common among the West Indian element. Death is made an occasion for such folic. Jokes are told and food and drink are served. Many wakes are even broken up in flights with the chief mourners taking leading roles. In some parts of the South the barreres that Negroes must be before sunset on the same day which they die. The incessant incurses decomposition to set in season and the lack of embalming makes this imperative.

DEMAND PROBE OF COOK'S DEATH ON BAY CRUISE DEMAND PROBE OF COOK'S DEATH ON BAY CRUISE (Reprinted from Last Week's City Edition) The N.A.A.C.P. and the state authorities will be asked this week to conduct a probe into the death of Harvey Long, a cook, who was drowned when the yawl Primrose III was destroyed after a blast from the gasoline engine, Saturday, off Kent Island in the Chesapeake Bay. Friends and relatives of the drowned man declare that negligence on the part of L. S. Carter, white, president of the investment banking establishment of L. S. Carter and Company, owner of the boat, was responsible for the man's death. The cook was the only person aboard the boat who could not swim, it is said, but the owner, who commanded a tender, rescued John H. Boatwright, white, and a young woman from Washington, D.C. whose name was withheld by the party, before he made an effort to save the boat from the founder in the water helplessly. Considerable significance is placed on the fact that Mr. Carter saved the woman first although she was already protected with a life preserver, the only one aboard the boat. in addition to being a swimmer as was the other guest, a conclusion that was attested to by the fact that all three of the survivors were clear of the rescue and had evidently been in and out of the water throughout the course of the cruise, it is pointed out. The survivors were picked up by the crew of the larmie B. Shaw, which was towing a barge to Wilmington. They were put off at Sparrows Point and motored to Baltimore in a taxi still clad in their bathing suits. The search for the body of Long was abandoned by the Coast Guard cutter Aileron after several hours, the boat had reported reduced to the water line by the flames. In his report of the tragedy Carter told officials that Long could have taken the one life preserver on the craft and escaped, but stood by until the woman had been rescued.

(Reprinted from Last Week's City Edition) Bitterness marred the Thursday session of the Baltimore District A.M.E. Conference when the report on resolutions and election of General Conference representatives was held at Trinity A.M.E. Church. The name of the Rev. J. E. Lee, which was proposed as the historiographer for the district, met bitter opposition from the Rev. A. C. Clarke, who said that the patron of a fit representative of the district and he based his objections on the grounds that he wanted to protect the decency of the A.M.E. Church and the standards set by the fathers. "Wouldn't Help in Hell" Wouldn't Help in Ben Following the session, which resulted in the defeat of the Rev. Mr. Lee, the latter told Rev. Clarke in Lee's letter that Rev. Clarke in "the would not help him if he were in hell, and would kick him all over the conference." Other heated words passed between the two. No one was chosen for the position. The resolution endorsing the Rev. Charles H. Wesley for the bishopric was attacked by the Rev. C. H. Stepteaun who declared that the Baltimore district should endorse its wn members. The resolution was adopted over the protest of Rev. Mr. Stepteaun, Rev. W. H. Costin and Rev. J. N. Waters. A third resolution endorsing the Rev. J. W. Norris, district superintendent, as a delegate to the next General Conference in 1932, was carried by a large majority. The resolutions committee was composed of the Rev. A. C. Clarke, Rev. W. H. Fountain and Rev. H. H. Fields. The Rev. J. E. Lee is pastor of the Long Green, Rev. C. H. Steptue of Allen Church, Rev. H. H. Fields of Cockesville and Rev. C. H. Fountain is of Annapolis, Md. The Reverends J. M. McEddy, and C. H. Fountain were elected delegates to represent the Baltimore district at the Hagerstown district conference next week. Plans decided upon by the Bishops Council of the A.M.E. Church which met recently in Wilberforce, Ohio, which include raising a large fund for the financial salvation of the A.M.E. Book Concern, were revealed by Bishop A. L. Gaines at the opening sessions of the Baltimore District Conference which opened at the Trinity School. The sessions, which lasted two , ys were presided over by District Superintendent Rev. J. W. Novris, and attended by ministers and laymen from the city and state. According to the plans divulged by the Bishop, each of the fifteen episcopal districts of the AME connection, under State Rule 5, assessed $1,000 which must be raised to the publishing house. Of these assessments, $500 is needed at once. A systematic retrenchment in all departments of the local conference was also outlined by the bishop. These plans include the reduction of the amount of expenses the Old Folks Home and a general reduction of expenses therein. Those Telephone Calls A reduction of expenses in the home office of the A.M.E. Church here where the bishop has his offices was also announced. Step forward, the bishop declared is the substitution of a pay telephone for an open line phone. This, because ministers who frequent the building have been using the office phone to make long distance calls, bills which amount to $35 and he declared, include calls to St. Louis, Chicago. New York and other distant points. It is impossible to trace these calls and charge them up to the intended amount. The Bishop also called attention to the Mid-Year Conference which convenes in October at the Waters A.M.E. Church and the quadrennial of the Mite Missionary Society which meets in St. Louis, during the same month. Mrs. Brooks Here W. W. Samson Brooks, bride of the bishop of the Texas area, brought greetings from Bishop Brooks. She was accompanied by Mrs. Mills and Goodman, the East District inmates.

FOUR LOWER RATES White Rate Highest for Cancer, Measles, Scarlet Fever. (Washington Bureau of the AFO) WASHINGTON—Tuberculosis is killing members of the race at an annual rate of 202 per 100,000, and is yet one of the outstanding causes of mortality, according to statistics compiled by the United States Public Health Service. Pneumonia, lobar and bronchial, combined, has the second highest rate of 145.9 per 100,000; organic heart disease and acute nephritis, or Bright's disease, are third and fourth respectively, the figures show. Living Conditions a Factor Diseases which are generally associated with the broad family of a low economic status, such as malaria, pellagra, pulmonary tuberculosis, typhoid, and puerperal conditions, show the greatest relationship between the white and colored areas. The respiratory ailments cause a greater mortality among colored people than ailments of any other organ. They include: pulmonary tuberculosis, pneumonia, and whooping cough. The ratio of the digestive system diseases among Negroes to mortality from the same causes among the whites is about 1.3 to 1 for each cause of death. Four Lower Rates for Negro There are four diseases, according to the statistics, which are lower among Negroes than the whites. Diphtheria, measles and scarlet fever. Tuberculosis takes its greatest toll among persons in the early middle age, or about 25. From the age of 60 upwards, the colored rates are little if any higher than the white rates. Organic heart disease and acute nephritis, or Bright's disease, are negligible causes of death under 20 years of age, but increase from males to females. 75% of the Negro mortality rate from these causes is lower than the white rate. More Cancer Among Negroes Under 50 years of age, the death rate from cancer (all forms) is high, and the mortality of the breast being the most mortal. A study of three cities, Baltimore, Charleston and New Orleans, reveals that the rate of decline of mortality from breast cancer in white and colored has been the same. Infant Mortality Premature birth is the principal cause of infant mortality among Negroes, being 253 per 10,000 births. The infant is most likely to take second place with 247 per 10,000; gastrointestinal diseases are third, 227 per 10,000 births. In the white race the gastrointestinal diseases are less frequent causes of death among Negroes. Injuries at birth, congenital malformation, organic diseases of the heart and the infectious diseases are less frequent causes of death among Negroes. Injuries at the white, the statistics disclose. Baltimore Clinics Praised The infant welfare clinics of Baltimore were referred to in the report as having done creditable work in lowering her deprivation and nutritional diseases among colored babies. It was stated that a lower level had been obtained for the Negro children treated in the Baltimore clinic than among the same population, received the same clinical attention. The Public Health Service bases its comparisons upon a study of the following Southern States: Marysville, Maryland; Carolina, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee.

In her application for a search to be conducted for him, Mrs. Baynham, who is a teacher in the local school system, declared that her husband is 37 years of age, five feet four inches tall, weighs 135 pounds. When he was last seen he was wearing a grey pin striped summer suit, straw hat, low tan shoes. He had about $165 in his possession at the time Fear Foul Play Coupled with the fact that he had the money in his possession and was last seen at the court house with two strange men, friends and relatives believe that he has been the victim of maltreatment. An APRO reporter who called at the Bayham house was informed by a worker that Mrs. Bayham was not at home and had not been there for several days. An inquiry in the neighborhood revealed that the wife had moved to the home of a relative. Mr. Bayham is a member of Sharp Street Memorial Church and is well known in fraternal circles. He is a graduate of the Howard University law school. Fellow attorneys there have questioned why he will respond to help to locate the missing counselor. They could give no reason for his disappearance. Thousands Mourn the Passing of "Mother Catherine,"Cult Leader Woman who Built "Manger" in New Orleans, Lamented by, "Prophets" and Followers of Both Races. HIGH ROCK We introduced the 24oz. bottle for 10 cents to Baltimoreans and the quality of our product has made it the leader in its field 10¢ NEW ORLEANS. (ANP)—"Mother Catherine," white-haired and kindly, founder of the largest cult in New Orleans nine years ago, died in Lexington, Ky., last week. W word of the death of their leader was brought to a little group of "white-robed 'prophets' and 'sisters' who sat around following the ritual she had taught them before she went away. Out in the large "manger" near the Industrial Canal built by the thousands of dollars that "Mother Cath-ter" collected from her followers, they greeted the news with groans. And they told a tale of an evil spirit that had haunted their ruler and forced her to leave them and go to her death. Converted by Vision "Mother Catherine" was plain Catherine Seal at first. Although she seemed a woman of forty as she boomed forth her lusty messages to her devotees, she was about 80 years old. Until thirty ago she was all her life as a washer-woman. One day, as she stood at the corner of Louisiana Avenue and Magazine Street, "Jehovah" appeared to her, "a sun with a black horse rarin' above him." That was the begin- ning; she couldn't rest until she had lived as that sun and that black horse had taught her to live. Built Religious Village "I am here to heal the nations, to lead you all to Jehavah," she often said. But soon her dwellings grew too small to house the swelling masses. Mother Catherine threw a wall around an oblong lot and built her little religious village that hundreds of Orleanians have visited. Next to the manger was soon erected another huge building—twice in size. It is a barn, built even more to represent the birthplace of the Christ. Moss hangs about it; it is lighted by yellow electric bulbs. Here "Mother" broached and here she served her rols and coffee that were as much a part of her ritual as her spoken bread. In "Mother's" little chapel are hundreds of crutches tossed off by those who say they are healed by hearing her. Many are whites who went to school to listen to tell of their curses. 48 D. C.

Wheat, soybeans, and corn, the department says, but South of there the possibilities for late gardens have a much wider range. far north as Pennsylvania gardens can grow turnips, kale, spinach, leaf lettuce, and reasonable assurance that the crops will mature, especially if the drought is broken, because these crops will pay to plant now in anticipation of rains later. The soil is dry cover the seed with fine earth will help greatly to promote germination. The use of only a small amount of water in the rows will also be a great help. In many localities dry weather has caused the summer gardens, at least for the time being, and some have passed the stage, which they may be expected to continue. It must be remembered, the hor- titude of the soil and the unities of good gardening are especially advisable at this time. In some cases the soil is too dry, and in other cases the rains arrive, to hasten the crop. A garden party was the social event of the Detroit Wonder Five at the home of the garden party.

Filipinos Losing Jobs; White Wives Citizenship SAN FRANCISCO, (ANP)—Filipinos and their wives are apparently playing a loss role in the evidence by the fact that according to a recent ruling, white women who marry Filipinos will automatically lose their citizenship.

The number of Filipino laborers was caused by an organized move on the part of whites who in anonymous communications have warned employers that if they fail to comply, Filipinos, their crops will be destroyed and the owners themselves perhaps injured.

The hot days of the past two months have attracted crowds to the annual camps as never before. Once the camps were closed, a camp was to promote the cause of Christ. Today a camp seems to be some place to go, particularly on Sundays, a picnic, a rendezvous, a little attempt to escape from the camp, a lunchn浴, or what have you. In fact, a crowd of folks who attended the camp at Dees Chapel, Horntown, Va., recently, from Fooseville, Jacksonton, Md., Wattlesville and Chincoteague, Va., were said to have behaved so nicely that all seemed like a band of Christian brothers and sisters, which is what we non-attendants had been taking them to be all along. The homes of the Rev. Simon Jackson and J. C. Copeland, Peden Hill, Paris, Tenn. were destroyed by a fire Monday afternoon which started in the home and spread to the home of Rev. Jackson.

Chicago and Chicagoans hung out the proverbial "Welcome" sign to the delegates in attendance. The roll call at the preliminary session held at the Oliver Baptist Church Thursday morning showed that every state in the Union was represented. The team and laymen began pouring into the crowd only as Monday morning, and there has been a steady stream ever since. While the convention was called to order Thursday morning by Dr. L. K. Williams, president of the organization, the real opening session was held Friday morning when the convention moved into permanent quarters at the Coliseum. Chicago's most historic convention hall. Here everything was in readiness. Amplifiers will enable the thousands of delegates who pack the hall, to hear every voice so that when the representatives return home they make a full report of what happened and if reports be true, plenty will happen before the celebration is over.

AFRO INVOLVED Account of Freeze-Out Made Issue of Lodge Controversy. SHREVEPORT, La.—A fraternal war as an aftermath of the recent conversion event in Baltimore by the G. C. Williams faction of Scottish Rite Masons is brewing here with the Shreveport Sun and the Shreveport Afo-American aligned pro and con respectively. The freeze-out reception on the part of Baltimore Masons was made a big issue in the field. The opposing paper sets out to expose the Louisiana Masons as an outlaw body. Were Expelled Information to this effect was also circulated in the form of circulars and handbills throughout Baltimore when the convention convened. circulars were similar to W. Bennett's inaugural gates, and secretary of 107 West 130th Street, New York. A passage coiled literally from the circular, reads: "The so-called St. John Grand Lodge, the W. C. Williams is called G. M. was organized in 1913 with excellent and suspended Masons from every source that could be had. The only legal and regular Masonic grease is the General of the Masonic Lodge of the U.S.A. of C. Canada, which was organized at Cleveland, Ohio, 1899, and recognized the world over, of which Capt. W. T. M. Grant, Sr. 33 degree is President. General of the Masonic Lodge of the U.S.A. of C. Canada, which was organized in all the White Masonic Lodges, and has his credentials and certificates to prove this statement is true. The service is true, or any of those associated with him can say or prove. "Therefore, the public can plainly understand that G. C. Williams and all of the so-called members are set free and without the slightest encasement authority and they are boons bodies. He as the head is an excelled Mason. To inform you all about the Order of the Star, the Supreme Grand Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star of the U.S.A. & Canada of which Capt. W. T. M. Grant, S. 33 degree, is Superintendent, 1912, and this legal and lawful body was chartered by an Act of the U.S. Congress, Paragraph No. 18, for the City of Washington. The so-called Suprene Grand Chapter, that one, Mary C. Hocan of Mass, is called S. G. M. is composed of all the excelled and suspended members from the Order of the Star of the Supreme Grand Chapter, Eastern Star of the U.S.A. & Canada." AFRO Drawn In The AFRO-AMERICAN was drawn into the controversy when a story of the convention reception here published verbal remarks by a man named Porter, which failed to mention the unpleasant issues of the convention, were circulated by the lodge in an effort to offset the criticism. The AFRO denied that it was narcissist in the Masonic controversy and refused to retract the account request declaring that it merely published the facts without comment or D.C.

Split Church in Fight with Pastor PHILADELPHIA (ANP) - A two-year fight between the Rev. James E. Kirkland, pastor of Union Baptist Church, and the membership was climaxed recently when the Baptist Union of this city and vicinity went on record by endorsing the stand of those persons who have opposed the minister. The clerical maneuvers within the church was inspired by what was considered the Rev. Mr. Kirkland's disregard for the church rules and the wishes of the majority of his membership. The elements have taken their fight to court several times with varying success. One of the cases in court involved a suit to recover a sum of money owed to the minister it was claimed the minister had taken over and above the salary due him. Another court action was had when the Rev. Mr. Kirkland caused the arrest of eleven of his obstreperous members. In all there have been five civil suits and three criminal At present the affairs of the church are being conducted under court order and all the rules of the church are lived up to and that the pastor permit the members to complain. Outcome of these court actions and the step of the Baptist Union will have the effect of forcing Rev. Kirkland to him. He will probably set up another church with the faction which follows him. Church Moving but Has Nowhere to Stop GLENCOE, Ill. (ANP)—The members of the local Baptist Church in Glencoe furnished church building with nowhere to put it. Their dilemma grew out of an order to move the church to another site since it was standing on property owned by the commission. The new site was desigated and the church was placed on rollers for the trip to the site. All was well and the trip was started and then to the consternation of movers. Sam Baker, a white man, who lives next door to the proposed church site, secured an injunction restraining the placing of the church building. Thus leaving the edifice on wheels in the street with no place on go. Conducts Revival at White Church TORONTO Canada—The Rev. O. J.

L. Gaines on Purses NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Praising Bishop A. L. Gaines for his statement advising his friends to omit presents at the recent celebration of his fortiest wedding anniversary, Ira T. Bryant, rapped giving in current issue of the Young Allenite. "Others may not be so bold as to give expression to their feelings," saves Bryant, who enters to whole-soully into the spirit of the occasion where this "no present" admonition appears somewhere on the invite. "He is cent of the men under a bishop who contribute to a purse or present for him have no special admiration for him, but do so only for the reason that some bely-crawling, and concern for their appointments leads them to 'fall into line.' You never saw a bishop getting 'love-tokens' in a district he formerly supported, and concern for their absence the heart, grow, foster." **Listen:** We have said all that to say this: No Bishop would feel right in having an anniversary celebration in having an anniversary celebration he serves. But since a corrupt practice in Negro churches has forced men to look upon such occasions as our organization, to feel themselves bound to contribute their paltry means to protect their appointments, we repeat that, in the face of such a situation we argue that the people we serve are versaries. If eating meat offends, eat no meat, we are taught. "The only persons really interested in such anniversaries are the participants and a few people tied to them for personal reasons. So that's that!"
