MAYOR IN HURRY Made Welcome Speech Before Officers Arrived DETROIT.—Thousands of Delegates from every state in the Union, as well as representatives from foreign lands, filled the Detroit Art Institute Monday afternoon for the opening session of the annual convention of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World. The atmosphere is fraught with expectancy and the general trend of conversation is about the impending fight. The delegates and visitors are also wondering if the election will culminate in the splitting of the order into two different factions. Already the convention is divided into two hostile camps, and action developed immediately that are expected to host the against the re-election of J. Prinkley Wilson. Those antagonized by the Wilson regime began at once to marshal their forces for the attack on the Wilson citadel. "Oust Wilson" is the slogan. Wilson Chieftains Ready The leaders of the Wilson forces have been in the city for almost a week, getting everything in readiness for the autumn meetings. The well-known meetings have been held the Dumber Holel. The name of Casper Holstein is spent heard as an opponent of Wilson for the ruler of Ekkton. Some of the New Yorkers claim that Holstein's business interests would not permit him to hold the position. The exercises Saturday and Sunday were in the palace of a welcome in the cities and visitors by the Detroites. Saturday morning a reception was held at the Belle Isle Casino for the officials of the grand lodge. Hold Memorial Services hold stenotomia Memorial services were held at Bethel AME Church Sunday afternoon with the Rev. George W. Avant, and chaplain, officiating. Rev. Avent extolled the virtues of the order and made a plea for peace in the ranks. Then minute speeches were made by well known Elks at all churches in the evening. The registration of the delegates consumed the greater part of Monday moring. Late arrivals had the street around the grand lodge head- Continued on Page 19. Column 5 BAILEY, Mich. "The desperate efforts of Mrs. Rebecca Murphy Young, Chicago school teacher, who risked her life to save her seventeen-year-old brother, Houston Murphy, son of George B. Murphy. Baltimore school principal and vice-president of the AFRO American Company, proved futile Friday, and the young man was drowned when seized with cramps while swimming in Lake Michigan off Woodland Park. Spying his sister with his mother and brother to a boat some distance off shore, Houston put on his bathing suit and started to swim toward the boat. Being overloaded from excitement, sudden contact with the cold water caused him to be suddenly ill after he had swum but a short distance. Realizing the distress her brother was in, Mrs. Young leaped into the water and swam to his aid. The palm sank before she could reach him. She made several dives in an effort to rescue him, but the swift under-current carried him out of again. At the spot at which he went down, the water is only five feet deep. Observers on the shore, also unable to come to his assistance, quickly noted the nervous condition of Mrs. Young, and begged her to re- THEAFROAMERICAN THE GREAT SNAKE Christian North Carolina lynched Oliver Moore, 29, at Tarboro, N.C.

Berelet Moens, white, whose studies in race mixing created such a stir in Washington, D.C., some years ago, has returned, to the city, and has served as a study in race mixing in Morocco. Moens's photos of nude Washingtonians created a veritable scandal. Black and white, he says, have extended, in extensive scale possible, in Morocco. He found many black-men, he says, in some of the highest positions, one of whom is Moulay Yaafar, half-brother of the last Sultan, and uncle of the present king of Morocco. While at Tangier, he said that he showed some photographs that he had taken in the United States to the Memdubu of Tangier, representative of the Sultan, and the latter not only presented some photographs, but said that they looked like some of the occupants of the palace.

She obeyed reluctantly. Export divers from the vicinity also rushed to the scene and made frantic attempts to reach the youth but to no avail. Later, life guards arrived with tackle, and after two hours search, succeeded in locating the body far from the scene of the disappearance.

He was a recent graduate from Douglas School of Baltimore, and had arranged to attend in Lincoln University Pennsylvania, this fall. He was known all over Northwest Baltimore as one of the most popular AFRO news boys and built up a route of several hundred customers.

OFFICERS JAIL CAMP MEETING TO GET FINES BERLIN, Md.—The presence of hardtimes was felt so keenly by the constabulary of this little town that the enforcers of law resorted to fleecing the law abiding visitors of a camp meeting just outside of town and filled the coffers of the city treasury by arraigning more than one hundred persons on trumped up charges of every description, Sunday afternoon. State Officer May in company with the local police marched down to the camp meeting ground where half the colored population were engaged in praising the Lord, and there lay in wait until the worshippers started their move homeward. 100 Arrested Chaiges involving violations of all the traffic, city and civil laws and ordinances were filed against those apprehended and fines of not less than $7 were duly issued out to one and all. The practice prevalent in the township allows each officer 75 cents for each warrant served and 75 cents for each arrest making a total of $1.50 per person. According to this custom, the Berlin-Ocean City Times points out, the Officer Culver, the most active of the police, probably made himself about $150, which was not a bad day's work at all. Both the officers and the justices of the peace are reticent about opening their records to public inspection. The whole Sunday affair is shades in mystery. The officers themselves are in the dark concerning their offenses. The fleeced victims with the aid of their employers and other influential white friends, are demanding an investigation.

Lieutenant Colonel Davis is now in France with his second group of Gold Star Mothers. PARIS. — Lieutenant Colonel Benjamin O. Davis, highest ranking colored officer in the United States Regular Army, intends to make his home in France, on his retirement. This I learned quite by accident. I had gone to the train to see the Gold Star Mothers off, and just before the train pulled out I told him good-bye. "Now," he asked, "don't you think after what you have seen that it was the best thing that the mothers should have come?" To this burning question I replied frankly just as I have felt "Yes." and added: "I am opposed to segregation as much as any other, but seeing that there is so much of it already—in short, segregation is universal in the States—I do not think that these poor women who want to see the graves of their loved ones should be made the goat. The thing, I feel, is for the Negro to unite his political strength and punish those responsible for the segregation." I then added that I hoped to see the colonel in France soon, again. "Yes," he said. "and the next time I come to stay." He said this with much feeling. I replied that I sympathetised with him knowing how difficult was his position as a colored colonel in the United States. He answered quickly: "I have never had any trouble with the War Department. It is with my own experience who don't seem to know that they want. They fought until they got me at Wilberforce University, and no sooner was I there than they said, I was jim-crowed and shelved there. "Take again the case of the Gold Star Mothers. Certain people were for boarding them in Harlem in order to give the colored people there the benefit. Of course the Astor was $10 a day, which is more than the cost of any place in Harlem. When the War Department sent these women to Harlem: At once went up the cry that the mothers were jim-crowed there. Colored Mothers Had Entire Ship "A good ship was chartered for the mothers—the same ship on which the officers of the United States travel. The mothers had the entire ship themselves, and really had a more comfortable voyage than the white mothers in consequence. But what happened again? We had the story that they had left America on a freight ship, whereas I saw the cabins on the America and none of them were as good as those on the American Merchant." Col. Davis also said that he thought the Negro press had never given him a square deal. "Several times, he said, 'I have dug up information for colored papers and whenever the article appeared it was always twisted. This information I always willingly obtained with the sole condition that it be published just as I had given it, but it was never done. It has not been so with the other side." Col. Davis expressed himself as being unalterably opposed to segregation. Personally, he didn't believe good will ever come American by it. But the impression he gave (and he talked as if he meant every word he said) was his chief trouble so far he had with what they want." Family Remains: In Paris All of which is a pity, for Colonel Davis is a very fine type of man, and made a splendid impression here. He said that he had been due for retirement two years ago, but had stayed on. Mr. Davis Mrs. Davis and young Mr. Davis have remained in Paris. War Dept. Thanks Hotel NEW YORK—A letter from Major General J. L. DeWitt, of the War Department, to the Gold Star Mothers, was received by the management of the Hotel Dumas congratulating them on the accomplishment received by the colored pilgrims this week. GROWS FAMILY THERE By J. A. ROGERS (Paris Bureau of the AFRO) No War Department Trouble BAPTIST NAME RECEIVER FOR N. CAROLINA ODD FELLOWS Third Order to Go Bankrupt in State this Year. WOMEN SAFE Action Does Not Involve Household of Ruth. RALEIGH, N. C.—The third fraternal order in the state to collapse under financial pressure during the course of a year, was revealed when receivership proceedisgs were instituted against the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows this week in Wake County court. The bankruptcy proceedings follow closely upon the heels of similar action taken against the state branch of Knights of Pythias which took place in February of this year, and the Mosaic Templars later. The action in all cases was brought by State Insurance Commissioner Dan G. Honey, white, who was nami-temporary receiver in each instance. While the failure of the younger generation to take to the order is blamed for the decline, considerable significance is also placed on the fact that pressure may have been brought by interested financial concerns who would have profited by the receivership. Order Solvent Mr. Boney admitted that the gross assets of the order would show it to be solvent, but the liquid assets were insufficient to meet claims, and hence continuance of the order would be impossible under the charter and statutes because it would be threatened to meet death and endowment claims. The order, enacted in the complaint, was enacted in this State in 1903, continuing an endowment department paying small death benefits, and that on July 30, 1926, it was incorporated in North Carolina as a fraternal benefit society with its principal office in Nashville, C. S. Brown is district grand master. Due to lack of young members and growing mortality among elders, for several years rates have been inadequate to meet claims promptly, and that it had been necessary for the State department to order extra assistance. An effort to offset the receivership was supposed to have been made at the state convention in Henderson, on August 12, but no action resulted. The state convention and scale of rates submitted by the commissioner which they failed to do. The failure of the Odd Fellows, Templars and Pythian leaves 24 burial orders and encumaciation in the state. Female Order Solvent The Household of Ruth, female branch of the Odd Fellows, issued a proclamation declaring that the receivership action did not effect this branch. Action against the Odd Fellows benefits. The proclamation states in part, that all $150.00 policies will be reduced to $100.00 after October 1. Negro, Indians Row Over Airport RIVERHEAD, L.I. — White trustees of the Shinnecock Hills Indian Reservation have won their fight to secure the eviction of five-acre tract at the reservation he has been using as a flying field, it was disclosed in County Court here last week. Although Johnson had been fighting the attempt to evict him, District Judge G. Blue, who represented the trustees, told County Judge Furman last week that Johnson had established a new field outside the reservation and was abandoned. Johnson had claimed that he was within his rights in using the tract by virtue of the fact that an aunt of his wife had the acreage he had touched, he could be used by legal descendants of the Shinnecock Indians, and his wife is such descendant.

The meeting was opened at the Olivet Baptist Church on the 14th and at the Coliseum on the 15th. The place was not in readiness. The hall cost the convention six hundred dollars a day.

This PARENTS MIXED IN 2ND CHICAGO BABY TANGLE CHICAGO. (ANP) — Another baby mix-up, slightly different from the famous Brumberger-Watkins tangle, was brought to light in the local count when Mr. and Mrs. William Linder, 5200 block LaSalle Street, sought to adopt a white baby they had reared from infancy. The child involved was the illegitimate offspring of Mrs. Rose Julian and Joseph Murphy. The Linders are well-to-do and have neighbors of the white couple for some time. About seven months ago a child was born to Mrs. Julian out of wedlock and she named the child Joseph Julian, out of regard for Mr. Murphy who, she claimed, was not interested in his alleged offspring. Mrs. Julian has three other children. Mrs. Linder, the colored neighbor, dropped in when the child was born, and cared for the white woman. Observing the poverty roundabout took the rest of the teacher and agreed to care for it. Mrs. Julian was quite willing, confessing that the burden of its upkeep, without the help of Mr. Mur- Arrest N.J. Doctor for Fourth Time ASBURY PARK, N.J. — Dr. William J.

WASHINGTON. (CNS)—From 1910 to 1920, Mississippi showed a decrease in population of 6,498; dropping from 1,797,114 to 1,790,618, or four tenths of one per cent, and the principal factor bringing about the decline in population was the losing of about 75,000, or seven and four-tenths per cent of its Negro population. Now Georgia is hard hit. The State with 2,902,443 population shows only an average of 91 persons for each decade 1900 to 1930, and the principal factor in keeping down the increase which was normally due, was the loss of more than 100,000 of the Negro population. While no census figures are available to show the total number of whites and of Negroes in Georgia, it is estimated that the Negro population of the State has decreased about In consequence of these losses, Mississippi will lose one representative in Congress, and Georgia possibly two, under the new reapportionment. These conditions suggest that despite the refusal to enact the Crumpacker bill or the Olmstead reapportionment measure, which were repeatedly, shelved in committees in PANDEMONIUM REIGNS AT BAPT.

(ANP)—While much of the bitterness, exposes, and even bloodshed expected to culminate at the Golden Jubilee of the National Baptist Convention was sidetracked, near casualties developed at the election of officers when followers of the Rev. J. C. Austin sought to establish the fact that he had been tricked out of his right to run in the election. A battle, in which chairs and fists, were used, and knives brandished, and women fought with pocketbooks, ended when six policemen, ansering a riot call, rushed to the scene. In twenty minutes order was restored. The convention adjourned Monday after voting to hold the 1931 session in Atlanta, Ga. Philadelphia also sought the meeting.

INFANT MORTALITY FIGURES STUDIED INFANT MORTALITY FIGURES STUDIED Negro Babies Die Faster in Cities than in Rural Sections. FIRST YEAR HARDEST Maryland Death Rate Shows Decline Since 1920. (Washington Bureau of the AFRO) WASHINGTON.-A study based on Negro and white mortality rates in the urban and rural areas of a group of northern and southern states, in urban and rural Maryland, and in four cities in northern and New Orleans, is the subject of a report just completed by the United States Public Health Service. In each of the areas, Negro infant mortality rates were higher than the corresponding rates for white infants. The difference was most marked in the urban areas of the South. Negro infant mortality rates in the rural South, however, were nearer to those of the corresponding white infant mortality rates than in any other Highest in Cities The lowest Negro rates were found in the rural South and the highest in the southern cities. On the whole, infant mortality among colored per cent is shown by infant death rate among the white population of the same communities. In two cities, Baltimore and Richmond, mortality among colored has declined more rapidly than in the rural states. The study also discusses the mortality rates from various causes in several of the southern states of the birth-registration area. Negro infant death rates are higher than white infant death rates for every cause except four contagious diseases. The greatest excess of colored over white infant deaths was due to unknown and ill-defined diseases. First Month Hardest Mortality rates of both races is extremely high during the first month of life; white rates fall rapidly during successive months. Negro rates also decrease but the decline is not so sharp. The mortality is highest between the fifth and the tenth month. The excessive high rates which occur in both races during the first trimester and in the premature birth and congenital debility. Colored and white infant mortality from these causes are very high. The excess of Negro over white infant deaths from the second to the tenth month is pneumonia. Deaths from this cause are considerably more numerous among coloured than among the whites. Deaths Decreasing Infant mortality from diarrhea and enteritis is on the decrease among both races in Maryland. The reduction in the number of deaths from this cause has been much more rapid during the past ten years than before 1920. White rates fell somewhat more rapidly than colored. In Maryland, infant death rates from all forms of tuberculosis are considerably higher among the Negro than among the white infants. The rates have declined much more rapidly among the white population. There is little improvement in the rates from diseases of early infancy in either race. There has been, on the whole more reduction in the death rate from diarrhea and enteritis in urban than in rural areas.

About one-half hour later two employees of the Freedman's Hospital, and another man were taken into custody. They were: James E. Waller, 32, Freedman's ambulance driver, and Roy W. Sorrell, 22, a switchboard operator at the institution. James Pierce, 22, of 1621 New Jersey Avenue nw., was taken also. The quartet charges a charge of violation of the Harrison Narcotic Act. They were booked at the Thirteenth Precinct on the technical charge of investigation. Leader Nabbed The first three arrests in the ring supplying narcotics to the Walter Reed Hospital were made prior to Wednesday night. Samuel Henson, 28, of 901 V Street, who is said by the agents to be the leader of the gang, was seized Tuesday at Second and Pennsylvania Avenue. Henson was arrested four months ago in a drug raid and placed in a bond of $2,500. Officers sought to arrest him while under bond, but he is said to have eluded them by jumping from a second story window. His bond was placed at $10,000. The woman in the case is Ruby White, 22, of 901 V Street, whose bond was placed at $3,000; Richard Epps, 35, of Morton Street, must post $5,000; and James E. Brawner, 28, is under $5,000 bond also. The narcotic agents claim that they have made "buys" from each of the persons charged. The form of dope peddled is said to be such as is usually obtained on prescription or from hospitals.

POLICE DEPT. Make Paris Crowds Stare D.C. POLICE DEPT. Colored Officers Being Retired but No New Appointments Made. NO INDUCEMENTS Rarity of Promotions Causes Young Men to Steer Clear. WASHINGTON. — With only 45 Negroes in the Police Department when a fair representation would be 250, which officials say is due to the indifference of young men in taking the examinations, the local N.A.A.C.P. is seeking to induce competent persons to seek appointments. The gradual decreasing of Negroes on the force by retirements with no new appointments, is being watched here with much concern by various organizations and private citizens who constantly have sought to halt the wide disparity. Major Herbert Crosby, commissioner of police, the secretary of the Civil Service Commission, and Inspector Shelby of the Detective Bureau, al. have been questioned as to the cause. "Colored men do not take the examinations," has been the unanimous statement of all. Interview Shelby Inspector Shelby was interviewed Wednesday by Miss M. F. G. Merritt, president of the N.A.A.C.P. A. S. Pinkett, secretary, and E. W. Baker, of the Washington Bureau of the AFRO. The Inspector praised the work of the two men of his force. Howard Smith and Paul Jones, but as there are no men being given intensive training for plain clothes work in the precincts, the representation in his bureau is not augmented. The higher officials apparently wish to be fair, but there are outstanding facts which have stressed as the reason more coloured men will apply. Several young men have been asked why they did not apply. They answered, "there are no inquiries." Appointment Final The recent retirement of two officers as privates, one with no reprimand recorded against him, has caused the belief that if a man is able to get on, that's the final goal. As a result of this attitude, a survey of conditions has been made. In each of the fourteen stations there is what is known as a precinct man in plain clothes. Captains have to allot certain men to assist him and become acquainted with detective work. In case of his advancement, an aide is qualified for the vacancy by reason of his experience. The Second, Fourth and Eighth Precincts are heavily populated with Negroes, but no officer in these districts has a regular assignment which will familiarize him with detective work. There is not even a uniformed officer in the First and Sixth Precincts, the latter has a large colored population; neither has No. Five nor Ten, both of which have fast growing populations. No Opportunity The harbor patrol has two boats at its disposal and a large personnel, but no colored officer has been assigned to either of these. There are eleven precincts with an emergency Ford car, but not in the districts where there are as many as ten or eleven men of the group, is one permitted to serve a shift with this car. Aside from the foregoing inducements to the men on the force and would-be candidates, there is need for another precinct, there is approximately 50 per cent colored. This district is patrolled by the Eleventh Precinct which is between two and three miles distance. In case of an emergency, valuable time would be lost in answering a call. No Sergeants Several officers have stated that they would take the examination for sergeant at the end of the required five-year period. The city is notable for its lack of these. The N.A.A.C.P. is collecting data and is doing so but why Negroes are failed to pass the examinations, and to induce others to become candidates in order to offset the claims of the officials.

Last week a party of eighteen, including Mrs. A, Clayton Powell, of New York City, and Mrs. C. E. Stewart, of Ballimore, and Mrs. White and Miss Ruth Brown, of Bayonne, N.J., made an excursion to Chantilly, which is perhaps the most beautiful chateau in France, collapsing in certain respects both Versailles and Fontainbleau. At Chantilly Chantilly was the home of the powerful Conde family and dates back to the 9th century. It is surrounded entirely by water, the moat and the drawbridge remaining as they have been for hundreds of years. The grounds and park are most delightful; and as to the stables, they are so immense that the visitor may be pardoned if he at first takes them for the castle itself. In the ponds are carp, gray with age, some of them said to be a hundred or more years old. The chateau is filled with priceless paintings and jewels, one of the latter is a noted Conde diamond, which is set with 644 others of fairly large size. While in Chantilly, the entire party stopped at a typical French restaurant for dinner, and had a gay and convivial time. The proprietor brought out his best, including four bottles of wine of rare vintage, followed by champagne. Most Beautiful American Miss Marian V. Turner, who is an accomplished musician, having won her B.S. from the University of Pennsylvania, and her B.Mus. from the Zeckwer Hann Musical Academy of Philadelphia, is attracting much attention. One French lady pronounces her "the most beautiful American girl she had ever seen." On the return from Chantilly, the sculptor of the statue of Marshal Foch, who was on the train, was anxious to learn to what race she belonged, and was surprised to learn that she was an American. On the boulevards and on the Champs-Elysées many turn to look at her in admiration. The same sculptor was also much interested in little Miss Charlotte Wesley. Miss Turner is going to the Sorbonne to perfect her French. While in Paris, Dr. Turner is visiting the hospitals and the clinics and getting some of the latest wrinkles in French medicine.

WHITE UNEARTHS NAMES OF MOB IN IND. OUTRAGE Probe by N.A.A.C.P. Shows Jail Doors Wouldn't Close. SHERIFF BLAMED Never Had Keys to Door, He Says. NEW YORK—That the two solid steel doors of the Grant County jail, if properly closed and locked, would have prevented entrance of the mob which lynched Tom Shipp and Abe Smith at Marion, Indiana, on August 7, were not locked on the night of the lynching was revealed here today on the return to New York of Walter White, acting secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. This is but one of the instances of gross failure to protect the prisoners, charged by Mr. White in a letter to James M. Ogden, attorney general of Indiana. In his communication Mr. White gave the names of alleged ring-lead-ers and members of the mob which snuffed out the lives of the two Negro youths at Marion. In a statement made public today Mr. White declared: "Seldom has there been an instance of more fragrant carelessness in preventing a lynching than was the case at Marion. Sheriff Jacob Campbell claims that he had no intimation that the lynchings were being planned until around seven o'clock in the evening of August 7th when Mrs. W. T. Bailey, of a prominent physician of Marion, telephoned the sheriff to that effect. Mrs. Bailey is president of the Marion branch of the N.A.A.C.P., and of the State Conference of Businessmen. It is difficult to understand how Sheriff Campbell could not have known of the plans to lynch the two negro boys. Apparently everyone else in Marion knew early in the afternoon that the lynchings were to be staged. Bloody Shirt in Prison Window "Claude Deeter, the white man killed by the colored boys, died about 1:30 in the afternoon. Immediately crowds began to gather in the streets of the city, where Smith and Shipp would be lynched that evening.

At a afternoon pass, I saw the shirt, which circumstance unquestionably helped to inflame the mob to action. Cars Tampered with "Sherif Campbell stated to me that when Campbell, Bailey warned him of these lynchings he went to the jail garage and found that someone had removed the gasoline in the cellar and let the air out of the tires. This was around seven o'clock and the lynchings did not occur until nearly three hours afterwards. He apparently made no effort to get another car to remove the boys to a place to sleep. Keeping the windows closed, the two Wool Close. "Punthermore, the two steel doors which effectively have blocked attempts of the mob to seize the prisoners were not locked. Each of these doors is about seven-eighths of an inch thick, made of solid steel. This would have been opened only by the use of a blow-torch and it would have taken an hour or more to open each door. This would have given ample time to mount the arms of ments from nearby towns, which could have prevented the lynchings. "The first of these doors, as one enters the jail, does not close by two inches or more, as I found by testing it myself. To neither this door nor the solid steel door there any keys. Sheriff Campbell, when asked about these keys, stated that he had been sheriff for four years and had never seen them. He seemed at all to feel that this made any difference. Sheriff Campbell is undoubtedly guilty of gross, if not criminal, negligence. He made formal request of Attorney General Ogden to take action which he is authorized to take under the Indiana law against lynching, towards the imminent execution of removal from office of Sheriff Campbell.

Name Age Address State WOMEN, CHILDREN TURN LYNCHING INTO PICNIC White Southern Womanhood Steps Down to Revel at Scene. 100 BULLET HOLES Afro Reader Gives First Eyewitness Account. TARBORO, N. C. — The scene of the gruesome lynching of Oliver Moore, who was taken from the county jail, carried away into the woods, strung up to a tree and riddled with bullets, was turned into a veritable picnic ground when men, women and children, intoxicated with the spirit of race prejudice and mob violence, surged around the horrible sight, played, joked, and made merry as the blood from multiple wounds dripped from the suspended body of the victim. Describes Scene An AFRO reader who braved the bitter racial feeling that permeated the surrounding countryside and went to the scene of the atrocity at the risk of his life, gives the following eyewitness account: "I got a friend to take me out to see the man that had been lynched. We went for miles and miles. After a long time we saw a lot of cars down the road. I told my friend that the place to stop. "We got out and walked down the road, and we found a bunch of white men, women and children. There was no sign of terror in their faces. There was nothing but gigles and laughter as the blood dripped from the nose and from the bullet-riddled body of the victim. Moore but before I got close enough Moore was cut down from the tree. "Moore looked as if he was about 29, and was a brown skin man, and looked as if he was a decent sort. He had been working with the little girls whom he was accused of ravishing for a long time. Lynchers Invites States to Send Cattle to "Black Belt" MONTGOMERY, Ala., (AND) — Gov. Bibb Graves addressed a letter to President Hoover this week in which he asked that certain counties in this state be included in the President's drought relief program. He also informed the President that owners of cattle in other states might take advantage of cheap freight rates and ship their interest stock to the "block belt" of Alabama for pasture. 100 Bullet Holes "I looked at the man's body and there appeared to be about 100 bodies in it, all around, up as far as his neck. He had on a pair of pants, no shirt, no shoes. One of his legs looked like some one had cut on it. "I heard one man say, as they turned him over, 'Don't move him. You don't know what the law will do to you.' The man said it was left to him and that he could move all the 'niggers' he wanted to. At that time, one of my friends said 'Let's go.' "The mob did their worst and the folks in Tarboro, N.C., did not know it. A white nurse at the hospital said she saw the light of the night she had. I heard one white man say. He got what he counted to have. There were some colored men and girls at the spot. "Moore was a married man a farmer, and his reputation good. I do not know whether he was a member of any church. The body was laid to rest at the county home." "It looked as if the mad mob got up to him and fired the shots. This was one of the worst sights I ever saw, and it made me sick, but it was all on the delegate white women, girls and children at the scene." No Arrests Expected With more than a week elapsed and no arrests made, all hope of apprehending any of the band fifty who participated in the crime is given up by colored people the viability. Sheriff W. E. Bardin white of the town said that he was doing all he knew to do but that he had nothing upon which to work. The men who lynched the man knew exactly what they wanted to do the manner, the attitude and a close study of the mob action since the lynching suggests that the mob was a small one and a determined one. Solicitor Don Gilliam has promised that he will use his office to down the chain of accusations offered the customary $40 reward for the apprehension of the guilty parties. But even though they were arrested, it is believe that mob members, including excellent alarms and the task of the Edgecombe officials is more difficult.

PLAZA 0148 Elder Becton Still Seeks Consecrated Dimes and Dedicated Dollars The Nation's Biggest All-Negro Weekly reporters about the good treatment he claims he lavished on her. **Family Skeleton** Just before boarding the train for Detroit, last fall, I gave her she will the Elks' Convention, the Elks' Convention, the Rev. Mrs. Bufford Becton gave out this statement through a publicity agent: "In addition to what I aired in last week, that I was greatly surprised that my husband, Elder G. Wilson Becton, proposing to be a MAN and a Christian minister would stoop so low as that his family troubles to the world. "I have met his statements so far, with truths expressed in his own letters written by his own hands. If I were to be a Christian minister, depths of our family skeleton, it will be O.K. with me. As much as I regret this shame account from this forced necessity, I do believe this to be my Christian and ministerial duty." Mrs. Becton declares that her husband used her for a drawing card. She says that she turned on his Gospel Peast Musical Symposium which was given to wind up his three months' stay at Salem Church, on the eve of the first day he ended then to expose him if he hadn't given her a part, because she said it was through her that he got the engagement. Expose Letters In letters which Mrs. Becton says figured in their whirlwind by mail courtship which began in May, 1923, and lasted only three short months, were found such juicy morsels as: "The more I learn of you the more I see the sweet harmony of our souls." You are the first woman in the world to have known others but they are worldly women, while you were born under the Zodiac sign." You are the one I prayed God to have me meet."

LETTERS EXPOSED Spiritualist Bares Love Notes in Courtship. PHILADELPHIA — EXTRA! By Wire)—A man who claimed to be a member of the Becton Gospel Feast party, was reported arrested here, today. PHILADELPHIA. — Two new theories as to what precipitated the separation of the G. Wilson Bectons, nationally known evangelist couple, were advanced this week. The activities of Mrs. Becton in conducting spiritualist services in opposition to his work of conducting revivals is said to have caused the estrangement while the pastor's failure, or reported failure, to supply her with $1,000 which she wanted for her new house is said to have been another contributory cause of therift. On the latter issue, however, the elder declares that he gave his wife $4750 while she gives him credit for $4750. Not Afraid of Papers Elder Becton declared from the pulpit of Tindley's Temple where he is now conducting an old fashioned revival, that all the things and about him in the colored papers are out and out lies excepting that he had! let his wife. The excuse offered by the evangelist for leaving his wife didn't seem to set well with his followers. He stated that he left his wife when he learned that she had not secured a divorce from her second husband and that she was still living and that with a woman his principles needed to and by continu- to live this way he would only be living in adultery, a thing he is very much against. Gave Wife Everything "When I lived with Mrs. Becton there is not a man who gave his wife as much money as I gave mine. Why I wouldn't have the nerve to preach the way I do if I didn't treat my wife right," he added. "as for the papers I do not fear any of them. Why should I when I lead an upright life and they can not harm me." After talking about the devil and newspapers, the evangelist told all his followers he wanted them to bring him fifty cents the following night and a dollar Sunday morning. Since the story of the separation made its appearance in the AFRO, Eber Becton has preached about how well he treated his wife at every sermon since, but will not talk to BLACK+WHITE OINTMENT FOR OUR USE ONLY FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY COMMONER SKIN DISC MES CLEARS THE COMPLEXION BLACK+WHITE SKIN SOAP Exposes Letters PARENTS MIXED PARENTS MIXED Continued from Page 1 phy, would be too much for her. File for Adoption Thus matters went on for seven months. Then Mr. and Mrs. Linder decided that inasmuch as they had taken the child as their own, they had better make the adoption legal. They entered a petition before the county court. Their petition, that of colored persons wishing to adopt a white baby, was the first of its kind the court had ever been called upon to consider. The unique features of the case were immediately seized upon and played up in the newspapers. There was no legal restraint which the court might impose against the adoption, because the law says nothings well able to take care of the child and Mrs. Julian was not, Mrs. Julian was quite willing that the Linders should have the baby. Plan Blocked However, some interested persons got busy and changed the mind of Mr. Murphy. He was induced to recognize the child and to marry Mrs. Julian so that he would have some help in its upbringing and so they would be more than the great white race was saved from a terrible blunder which its law had neglected to provide against. Women Talk "I've had Joseph since he was born," said Mrs. Linder. "His mother asked me to keep him as she didn't want people to know about him nor did the baby's father. So I brought him home with me and watched over him. He's never been sick a life and he has hardly ever cried. "Now the baby's father will take him and give him a name, I think that the baby really wants have his mother if she really wants him and can take care of him." "I'm going to take my baby back," he said. "I can't take three other children to take care of by a former marriage. Mr. Murphy says we can take it and we plan to get married and give the boy a name."

Mich.—(ANP)—In order to rid spiritualism of attacks and to protect it under the law, Prophytus the spiritualist Civic Association among the mediums, real and imaginary, in this city and state.

After her marriage at an early age to Alexander Texas Waller, in New York, she went to Ballimore, Md. to live, and then to Walton. Ellen Pearl Bailey and Alexander Texas Waller, Jr., all of whom are living, were born of this union. Being widowed in 1913, several years later, she married George E. Frey, a well known caterer of Baltimore, Md., also deceased. During her early married life she was very active in church work, dedicated to the Sunday School established by her then husband, A. T. Waller, from which Trinity Baptist Church was established in 1888, by Rev. Garnett of Springfield Mass. Having done her full duty along religious lines she, after her husband's death, then devoted her energies to political and social activities, and was assisted by her second husband, the late George E. Frey. Her political life brought her the commendations of those in power namely: ward, legislator, judge, knowledge judge, senators, mayor and governors and even from the President of these United States. Her activities in war work are still prominent, particularly, relief work at Camp Meade and in the U.S. Navy League, which she helped to found. During the later years of the war when Premier Clementeau toured the United States, she was selected by the governor of the state as THE one from a large mixed group to present the Premier Ballimore's taken of welcome — a beautiful bouquet of flowers of the Dubois Circle and a founder of the N.A.A.C.F. then the Niagara Movement. When the woman's suffrage agitation was in its incipiency and at its height she figured as the founder among her group for its establishment. In social service work she served constructive period of activities. For a while opportunity came to advance or help the group with which she was identified she was always in the advance guard, she was always up a fight for colored teachers, so that colored girls could earn money in fields other than mental labor. Being a pioneer for colored teachers, she lived to see one hundred years in the public schools of Baltimore. Anxiously eager to continue this progressive educational work, she established the first parents' association School, the late James H. N. Waring, Sr. principal. She also had the proud distinction of handling the first parents' association he loosened a few feet of earth and turned over the first showelf at the ground-breaking of the new colored senior-junior high school at Carey Mason, Mason A. Hawkins principal. Through all her outside work, she never forgot her duty to her husband and her home. She was a woman of scientific dressmaking for years, again proving herself a pioneer, for at this time, woman's place was actually and practically in the home, and all she had to accomplish, manly men fearing to vie with her in the real estate world. Her oldest daughter, E Irene Walton happy acquire a unique character, has proven most successful, also. Her son, Alexander T. Waller, has picked as his outstanding inheritance his mother and father's practical knowledge. In later years, naturally, her vim, vigor and fire waned, but in spite of this having now entirely ceased we feel that the nature of her practical knowledge, the nature of noteworthy more are just proud to encribe achievements of one of its loving and beloved townswomen, Sydney Jane Jarvis thealler Prey. She has now returned her loss three times.

THOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER It is said that a newspaper can not claim full recognition as such until it has had one or more suits on the Ohio Tribune can claim that it is a full-fledged newspaper. One John Clinton, who, by the way, is not unknown to us, has sued the Tribune for a character. It is not likely he will recover anything. It is said that a newspaper can not claim full recognition as such until it has had one or more suits on its hands for librarians. It is true, the Philadelphia Tribune can claim that it is a full-fledged newspaper. One John Clinton, who, by the way, is not unknown to us, has sued the Tribune for defamation of character. It is not likely he will recover anything. Editor and Publisher, 1892-1922. The President Speaks These columns have commented so frequently on President Hoover's silence upon matters concerning the Negro that it has gradually become apparent that Mr. Calvin Coolidge with all his reparation for silence spoke more often and more graciously than does Mr. Hoover. On the Negro question, if Mr. Coolidge was silent, Mr. Hoover is a sphinx. In this connection note the request of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people that the President say something about the revival of U.S. lynchings. Since the beginning of the year, mobs have shot, hanged or burned fifteen persons without a trial. In eight months of 1930, the total of such lynchings is three more than for the whole year 1929. Mr. Walter White, acting association secretary, wrote to Mr. Hoover in part as follows: These columns have commented so frequently on President Hoover's silence upon matters concerning the Negro that it has gradually become apparent that Mr. Calvin Coolidge with all his reputation for silence spoke more often and more graciously than does Mr. Hoover. On the Negro question, if Mr. Coolidge was silent, Mr. Hoover is a splinix. In this connection note the request of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that the President say something about the revival of U.S. lynchings. Since the beginning of the year, mobs have shot, hanged or burned fifteen persons without a trial. In eight months of 1930, the total of such lynchings is three more than for the whole year 1929. Mr. Walter White, acting association secretary, wrote to Mr. Hoover in part as follows: This increase, and especially the complete breaking down of machinery for the prevention of such mob outbursts, presents, we will tell, you will agree, one of the most serious aspects of disregard of law now manifest in the United States. It is a danger not only to the victims of these mobs but to the government as a whole and to the safety of all mobs. This will disregard and flouting of law by lynching mobs constitutes, in our opinion, a more serious menace to American institutions than all the propaganda of Communists now being used by a Congressional investigating committee. Busy with plans for drought relief, the awarding of a $1,800 Congressional aviation medal to Charles Lindbergh, appointing tariff commissions and preparing for a belated vacation. Mr. Hoover was busy indeed. In fact, too occupied was the President to think or talk about lynching, much less read the association's letter. For this reason the N.A.A.C.P. received the following reply to its request for Presidential utterance: Busy with plans for drought relief, the awarding of a $1,500 Congressional aviation medal to Charles Lindbergh, appointing tariff commissions and preparing for a belated vacation. Mr. Hoover was busy indeed. In fact, too occupied was the President to think or talk about lynching, much less read the association's letter. For this reason the N.A.A.C.P. received the following reply to its request for Presidential utterance. Every decent citizen must condemn the lynching evil as an undermining of the very essence of both justice and democracy. This letter was signed by Walter H. Newton, Secretary to the President. Militant Baptists Amid shouts and turmoll, disorder and disord. the Reverend Dr. L. K. Williams, pastor of Baptist Church in Chicago, was elected president of the National Baptist Convention last week. With great difficulty servicemen-at-arms restrained the delegates from changing the Christian gathering into a general泣. Convention stories tell of the effort to soothe savage breasts with a massed chorus of 1,900 voices. As soon as the music ceased, there were delegates on their feet charging the administration with bankrupty, fraud and murder. The 70 convention historian was beaten and locked in his room to prevent further violence. At every session, the mysterious murder of Edward Don Pierson, convention auditor, was brought up and discussed. Dr. A. M. Townsend and his son, Nashville publishing house officials, stayed away from the convention. They have been indicted for the Pierson murder, but their friends think Pierson's love affairs rather than his convention audio caused his death. The author alluded to Dr. J. C. Austin, chicago pastor, declared: "Pray, my brethren, that we will seek the Christian way in settling our differences, lest we lose the respect of the world, the confidence of our own people and our long-boasted position as leaders of the Negro race." Thinking Christians have long ago disowned leadership in this type. Their quarrels over their relationship to conduct business in an orderly manner have long been notorious. Now that murder has been added to the list of accusations, it only remains to be seen how much lower the Baptist Convention can sink. Amid shouts and turmell, disorder and discord, the Dr. R. L. K. Williams, pastor of Olivet Baptist Church, Chicago, was reelected president of the National Baptist Convention last week. With great difficulty sergeants-at-arms restrained the delegates from changing the Christian gathering into a general rally. Convention stories tell of the effort to soothe savage breasts with a massed chorus of 1,000 voices. As soon as the music ceased, there were delegates on their feet charging the administration with bankruptcy, fraud and murder. The Rev. L. G. Jordan, 70, convention historian, was beaten and locked in his room to prevent further violence. At every session, the mysterious murder of Olivet Baptist, convention auditor, was brought up and discussed. Dr. A. M. Townsend and his son, Nashville publishing house officials, stayed away from the convention. They have been indicted for the Pierson murder, but their friends think Pierson's love affairs rather than his convention audit caused his death. In such a welter of discord, Dr. J. C. Austin, Chicago pastor, declared: "Theray, my brethren, that we will seek the Christian way in setting our differences, let us be prepared to face the world, the confidence of our own people and our long-boasted position as leaders of the Negro race." Thinking Christians have long ago disavowed leadership of this type. Their quarrels over office and their inability to conduct business in an orderly manner have long been motious. Their lack of ability to deal with accusations, it only remains to be seen how much lower the Baptist Convention can sink. Goodbye, Georgia The Savannah, Georgia, *Tribune*, published in the native state of Mr. Roland Hayes, the international singer, takes him to task for his recent statement that he will abandon his U.S. citizenz and in doing so he will be "the savannah of the Tribune" expresses surprise that Mr. Hayes should desire to leave his homefolks, and suggests that "it would be far better for him to remain in this country and assist in making more tolerable conditions here." Evidently the *Tribune* is not aware of the widespread migration of rich Americans, black and white, to foreign lands. The whites seek an atmosphere of culture. They are weary of the hustle and rush of America after the dollar. They want to be free of cooglers and prohibition. Negroes who have money are finding homes broad to avoid the color line and the Southern tracker. Mr. Henry O. Tanner, the painter, and the author of "The Savannah Tribune" The Savannah, Georgia, *Tribune*, published in the native state of Mr. Roland Hayes, the international singer, takes him to task for his recent statement that he will abandon his U.S. citizenship and reside in France. The *Tribune* expresses surprise that Mr. Hayes should desire to leave his homefolies, and suggests that "it would be far better for him to remain in this country and assist in making more money." Evidently the *Tribune* is not aware of the widespread migration of rich Americans, black and white, to foreign lands. The whites seek an atmosphere of culture.

Georgia is but his native State. Mr. Hayes closes up a house in his adopted city, Boston. Massachusetts, in his home, is a city where he will receive, at his home, the distinguished singers of the world. They will eat at his table, sleep in his bed, and promade with him through the streets without causing comment or annoyance. Fair with the Austrian. Countess is renewed, Paris will accept it as a master course without such daily newspaper headlines "Social Equality-Roland Hayes Weds Countess." No 11th Commandment The National Catholic Women's Union, white meeting in Baltimore last week, passed a resolution condemning mothers who permitted children to go stockinging. The resolution, termed the fad un-Christian and declared that it would lead to a sense of lost morals. The issue is that they confuse clothes and morals. The purpose of stockings and all clothing originally was to provide protection from the weather. Late-collina became decorative. If all the women in the church who sometimes wear stockings in un-Christian and immodest, then their number is legion. In fact in warm countries, where comfort comes before looks, most women go stockinginess. We've seen more dimly and anonymously in a barefoot girl of the South than in a half dozen beaten and bezziried silk-stockinged frieze of Drudr Hill Avenue or Charles Street Stockings do not make character. There is need of an Eleventh Commandment. There is a motherlic mothers, to solve their problems. Only to dedicate themselves to their daughter the good old fashioned home training.

Our women used only giving their daughters some training. The National Catholic Women's Union, white, meeting in Baltimore last week, said the organization who permitted children to go stockingless. The resolution, termed the fad un-Christian and deceived that it would be a blessing to that society. less. The trouble with our Catholic women of course is that they confuse clothes and more. The purpose of stockings and a clothing nally was to provide women from the weather. If all the women in the world who sometimes go woo noun stockings are un-Christian and far modest, then their number is high in warm countries, and comfort comes before comfort comes before stockings. We've seen more dignity and real womanhood in a barefoot girl of the South than in a half dozen bepainted and bertizied silk-stockingized flappers of Druid Hill Avenue or Charles Street. in a barefooted girl and befrizzled stock-stealingized fingers of Drudh Hill Avenue or Charles Street. Stockings do not make character. There is no need of an Eleventh Commandment, ie lice mothers, problems, need only themselves to giving their daughters the good old fashioned home training. Adopting a Baby Mr. and Mrs. William Linder, of Chicago, files a petition in the county court last week, for permission, formally adopt a six-month-old baby, which had been given to them by the white mother at birth. Just why the Linders want this illegitimate white infant news dispatches. fail to tell. But since it has been theirs for six months, they have probably grown, attached to it as would an childless couple longing for the sunshine on youth in their house. Of this however is more sentiment. The APFO ventures to predict that Chicago court will not be bound by sentiment. The white mother had a legal right to dispose of her infant to the Linders who had a legal right to accept it. But here is where the law and sentiment will both stop and prejudice will begin. We prophesy that if the petition comes to hearing the Linders, if the baby will be taken away from them illegally, by the courts, places in a Chicago orphanage and the couple advised to adopt a baby "of their own color." Why? Minder, of Chicago, filed court last week, for perma- a six-month-old white given to them by the w want this illegitimate chil-ces. fail to tell.

We prophesy that if the petition comes to a hearing the Linders' white baby will be taken away from them, illegally, by the courts, placed in a Chicago orphanage and the couple advised to adopt a baby "of their own color." Raleigh (N.C.) News & Observer Even as we are forced to admit that a very considerable public sentiment has been that who watched the Negro's body dangle in the woods, and even apparent in Raleigh, they proved to the lynching, we are deprived of the remorse of the public sentiment in the uncertainty of his guilt. There was evidence—strong evidence, we can see. He was guilty. There was no conclusive evidence. We cannot depend upon the testimony of the state of prevent lynchings. The best citizens do not lynch. We can require, we can censure the law, in the exercise of the authority vested in them, officials in the ship rather than the lowest. And more. We must require the resources and all the legal resources of the state be brought to bear upon any and all manifestations of The will to lynch cannot live in an atmosphere of certainty that the lynchers must pay for it in prison stripes. But here in North Carolina, we have a easier, just as it is always more desirable, to prevent a lynching than it is to convict a lyncher. It is difficult to comprehend how the above editorial and news item could be published in the same newspaper. Says Mr. Josephus Daniels, white, ex-Secretary of the Navy, the "best citizens" do not lynch. However the news item above indicates that many of the best citizens were in the crowd of spectators and certainly one of the best citizens is Correspondent Robert Thompson, who refers to the prisoner lynched as a "bloody, dead nigger." The editorial was written by one who has no respect for Negroes as persons or as citizens, but who fears the public opinion of outside States. The news item was the work of a "best citizen" who viewed the lynching as a show, a circus, and a fole.

Annapolis, Md. ARTHUR JOHNSON. An Answer to "Prophet" Huricy and an Apolog to Bethel's Pastor. An Answer to "Prophet" Huriey and an Apology to Bette the Factor. Elder Editor "This is in answer to one 'Prophet' Hurley's letter, published in today's issue, which asks the prophet to face grounding Spiritualism. The 'prophet' challenges me to interpret the chapter chosen by him, from the Bible." This is in answer to one "Prophet" Hurley letter, published in today's issue, in which he accuses the priest of being a "Spiritualism. The 'prophet' challenges me to interpret the chapters chosen by him, from the Bible. Well, here goes: The appearance of angels before men to administer to God outgrew out in Genesis and St. John, is not to be confused of connected in anywise with Spiritualism. That the angels have never been anything other than spiritual beings. They have never dwelt in the flask. They were created by God and, by the nature of God and man. So there is nothing unusual about their visiting earthly inhabitants. That is a part of their job. If Spiritualism is approved of God, why it necessary for its adherence by luck charm, or for its "conservation" and go through other pagan rites after God has declared, "I am sufficient for all things." I wish to apologize to the minister, who, during his stay at Bethel, exposed the tricks of Spiritualism before the eyes of our gullible children. The appearance of angels before men to administer to their needs, as pointed out in Genesis, Judges and St. John, is not to be confused or connected in anywise with Spiritualism. That is, angels have never been armed with spiritual weapons, have never dwelt in the flesh. They were created in the beginning to be messengers between God and man. So there is nothing unusual about their visiting earthly inhabitants. That is a part of their job. If Spiritualism is approving to God, why it is "secure" with adherents to wear luck charms, cherish "High John the Conqueror" and go through any pagan rites after God has declared, "I am sufficient for all things." I wish to apologize to the minister, who, during his stay at Bethel, exposed the tricks of Spiritualism before the eyes of our gullible black brethren. 1012½ Gilmor-st. MOXLEY WILLIS. The Big Negroes Take Handouts at the City Hall and the City Jobs are Not Handed Out to Colored Workers. To the Editor: The anniversary of the birthday of HENRY Winter Davis, last Saturday, suggests what I am about to write. Mr. Davis translated his thought into action. Mr. Davis, of men he organized little band, and, with that force, revolutionized the sentiment of Maryland, forced a constitution al convention and in the new constitution for ever abolished slavery from the commonwealth. Then, he and I went to the 12th of October, 1864, the new constitution was approved by the people of the state and slavery was forever legally abused. This is a lesson and example for "BIG Negroes." When we could not do for ourselves the Almighty raised up others to do for us. He is not going to raise up others to do for us what we can do for ourselves. Instead of throwing us our teaching election, we should be concerned with reaping what is already in our power. I think we constitute about one sixth of the population of this city. If you will go to our school, you will be the hundred of men and women thereemployed a clerks and so forth. I do not think that you will find that one out of every six is colored. I do not think that you will find one out of ever hundred colored. No one else Mayor Browning, but rather the "Big Negroes."

Mr. Reed May be a "Traveling Man." But he Has Not been All Over South Carolina. He Recently Received an Actually Owed and Was Given to Him by Eye-Witnesses. The anniversary of the birthday of Henry Winter Davis, last Saturday, suggests what I am about to write. Mr. Davis translated his thought into action. With only a handful of men he organized his slave movement, then revolutionized the sentiment of Maryland, forced a constitutional convention and in the new constitution forever abolished slavery from the commonwealth. Then, he and his chosen few took the stump and rested not until on the 12th of October, 1894, the new constitution was approved by the people of the state and slavery was forever legally abolished. Now, this is a lesson and example for "Big Negroes." When we could not do for ourselves, the Almighty raised up others to do for us. He is not going to raise up others to do for us. We can do for ourselves to do for us, but raising up in the approaching election, we should be concerned with reaping what is already in our power. I think we constitute about one sixth of the population of this city. If you will go down to the city hall and the ammunition therein employed as clerks and so forth, I do not think that you will find that one out of every six is colored. No, I do not think that you will find one out of every hundred colored. Do not blame Mayor Broening, but rather the "Big" white. If brain and character amount to anything, such ought to be evidenced in effort to obtain our share of the goods. "The public" is neither white nor colored, and being part of the public, we should share in the fruits that pertain to the public, regardless of test and intercept. The courts exist for that purpose. Instead of depending upon ourselves. We should take whatever steps the law provides for those who would enter certain departments of the government, and then, if denied frame our case and carry it to the court. If we do this we will win. But, so long as our "Big Negroes" rather content themselves nothing, we will not do anything doing. What good are our various societies if the strength of such can not be brought to bear to break down prejudice, and widen the scope of our employment by the Municipal government? AERO-AMERICAN CITIZEN. Mr. Reed May Be a "Traveling Man" But He Has Not Been All Over South Carolina, Where the Incident Recited by Mr. Matthews Actually Occurred and Was Given to Him by Eye-Witness To the Editor: We take note of an article appearing in your issue of August 23rd, under the name of Ralph Matthews. It is always interesting to us to read articles on "Burial Customs" written by persons not engaged in the burial of the deceased, particularly interested in the statement of Mr. Matthews that, "In some parts of the South, the law requires that Negroes must be buried before sunset on the sun day on which they die." Very much much that any other colored man travels all Southern states as consistently as the writer. We are sure there are none who study funeral customs and the funeral directing business more than we do—it is our specialty. In our seven years of service in Negroes, we have visited all states where there are Negro funeral directors, we fail to find any such laws as referred to by Mr. Matthews. It maybe that Mr. Matthews has reference to plantation days of the year when there were Negroes in plantation owners advised and said that Negroes were buried the same day because of lack of embalming, but these conditions were not, nor could come under the terms of being a law. In these days, when each state has embalming regulations and laws; with the modernized service of funeral directors, and with 3,000 funeral directors of our race, there is not a section of the country in the South they do not cover with embalming. In all human bodies in the South embalmed. Even when plantation owners of this day buy caskets from commissaries instead of licensed funeral directors, they, in 80 per cent of such cases, can in a licensed embalmer to preserve the body for the dead. Instead of burying the same day on death, even in some parts of the South as Mr. Matthews states, the one great complaint of the colored funeral director is that the families, even in rural districts, like to keep the bodies for days in the church, from the first of the week to Sunday, for funerals. We again state, each state has its laws on embalming. Examinations must be passed by a those of other professions. Dead human bodies of the sick and the sick of the science and art of embalming as applied by our efficient funeral directors, whether it be service in the city or service in the rural districts. Our opinion is, Mr. Matthews can write better articles on subjects pertaining to other subject matters than he can when funeral service is the subject matter. We take note of an article appearing in your issue of August 23rd, under the name of Ralph Matthews. It is always interesting to us to read articles on "Burial Customs" written numerous times by the same business. We are particularly interested in the statement of Mr. Matthews that, "In some parts of the South, the law requires that Negroes must be buried before sunset on the same day on which they die." I doubt very much that any other colored man travels all Southern states as consistently as the writer. We are sure there are none who study funeral customs and the funeral directing business more than we do. It is especially interesting to us that Negro funeral directors, in our seven years' travel over all states where there are Negro funeral directors, we fail to find any such laws as referred to by Mr. Matthews.

Instead of burying bodies the same day of death, even in some parts of the South as Mr. Matthews states, the one great complaint of the colored funeral director is that he does not care for human bodies and in many cases from the first of the week to Sunday, for funerals. We again state, each state has its laws on embalming. Examinations must be passed as those of the press present in human bodies for days in all parts of the South because of the science and art of embalming as applied by our efficient funeral directors, whether-it be service in the city or service in the rural districts. Opinion is, Mr. Matthews can write better and with more facts on subjects pertaining to other subject matters than he can when funeral service is the subject matter.

Jones, managing editor of the AFRO and conductor of this column in *Australian Times*, Paulah Matthews is pinch-biting for him this week. TEN YEARS HAVE PASSED since women were given the right to participate in national politics. Many of us recall the scenes of a decade ago, when women suffragettes swarmed over the land like so many bees, carrying their slogan, "Votes for Women." Masculinistically-attired busy-bodies invaded the peaceful tranquility of village and hamlet, spreading their gospel of equal rights,ousing in the consciences of simple-minded housewives who hitherto were content to fill their husbands' lunch paints the take care of the children, the realization that they were being CHEATED OUT OF SOMETHING. Consequently, t he Nineteenth Amendment became a law. Since that, time the average woman has taken the same attitude about her ballet that she takes about her husband—having captured the right to vote, she sits down complacently and forgets the struggle she made during 'the courting, and, when election rolls around, she breathes a sigh of indifference which seems to say, "OH, I VE GOT IT NOW, WHAT'S THE USE IN WORRYING?" THAT WOMEN HAVE taken any of the rottenness out of politics is extremely doubtful. While men have relinquished many of their cherished age-old rights to the weaker sex during the past ten years, they have being doggedly to ALLOW THEM CUSSEDNESS. The influence of women helped kill the corner saloon where their husbands caused them sleepless nights by being dragged home drunk. That same influence has brought into being the corner bootleg joint where their sons and daughters are more apt to be dragged home dead from poison liquor. WOMAN IS THE PERENNIAL SUFFERER. THE EYES OF THE COUNTRY are centered on Detroit this week, where the annual convention of the L.R.P.O of Elks is being held. There is something paradoxical in this meeting of one of the country's greatest fraternal orders, in that it is presumably built on the foundation of brotherly love, and yet 90 per cent of the attending delegates are just there out of pure meanness. Whatever good works the order might have accomplished during the past year is completely overshadowed by the dark cloud of hatred that hovers over the coming election. Charges of rascality are hurried right and left, and while there may be some truth in the allegations, must always remember the old definition, that A CROOK IS WHAT THE MAN OUT OF OFFICE CALLS THE MAN IN OFFICE. There is also much talk about a split. Breaking up things seems to be a highly developed talent among Afro-Americans. It takes very little brains to 'tear things down. This is proved by the fact that contractors employ unskilled laborers to raze a building, but use ONLY EXPERT MECHANICS WHEN THE TIME COMES TO ERECT ONE. THE NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION, held recently in Chicago, ended in fistfuls and harsh words. If tollers in the Lord's vineyard used half as much energy fighting the devil as they use in fighting each other, it would long before Satan would close up shop before the sinner-making business . . . BALTIMORE MINISTERS are already wrangling and fighting over the bishopric of the A.M.E. Church, although the General Conference does not meet until 1932. * AN OFFICE THAT REQUIRES GUARANTEY, PETTY POLITICS AND HATRED OF A FELLOW-WMAN TO OBTAIN OUGHT TO BE TOO SMALL AN OFFICE FOR A TRUE CHRISTIAN EVEN TO CONSIDER. The A.M.E. bishopric has degenerated into just that, because churchmen have elevated small men to a position that they had to dwarf to their size in order to feel comfortable. * THE FINANCIAL DILEMMA in which the Provident Hospital finds itself is deplorable, and every race-conscious citizen should rally to its support. Once the institution is saved, there are other important matters that need our attention. The first of these will be to rid the place of smoozy members of the person they are in it below their dignity to extend common courtesy to the ill-clad and less fortunate individuals who seek their aid. A disheveled and overall-bedecked man walked into the institution last week and was flatly insulted. He was a well-to-do man, and he was making Baltimore his home. In his pocket he had a check for $26 for the hospital fund. He walked out with the check in his pocket, because of his treatment, but he is willing to take it back. "In my home," he said, "we would not permit white folks to us save our institutions. We'd stick together." WEVE GOT TO LEARN THAT LESSON IN BALTIMORE. WEEK'S POEM PROCRASTINATION My friend, have you heard of the town of Yawn. On the banks of the River Slow. Where blooms the Walt-a-while flower fair. And sometimes-or-other scents the air.

The Laughs Behind the News BY DARRY MATTHEWS all the barbers in New York went out on strike until they got higher pay and shorter hours, but still sore because they could not get extra pay for carrying on a conversation with the customers. Besides running the hazard of getting slashed beyond expectation a guy always stays a chance of being talked to death in the barbershop. A barber is a fellow whom you can't snub; he talks to you in spite of the fact that the minute you lie back in the chair you turn your nose up at him. . . . He asks you pertinent questions which you can't answer for fear of getting cut when you open your mouth. Some high class barbershops furnished earmuffs with a shave so the barber could talk without annoying you, but discontinued the practice when so many barbers mistook them for sideburns and spent too much time shaping them up. Since barbers now get 60 cents for a haircut it looks like a baltheaded man has some luck after all. Being bald might keep a man from being popular with the ladies but it saves him a lot of money in the long run. Bald heads are very sanitary because a man can wash his head every time he washes his face. When a man is bald his face starts at the end of his chin and runs all the way down his back. Baldheaded men are generally braver than others because no matter what happens you never see their hair stand on end. They also make the sweetest husbands which is proved by the way files flock to a shiny dome. The new prices in barbershops don't even worry the men who wear toupes because all they have to is take off their hair and send it to the dry cleaners. With all shaves gone up to 25 cents a piece, it looks like beards are going to be popular again. At that rate we wonder if a two-faced guy will have to pay 50 cents for a shave. There is one conspiration in the fact that they time a pedestrian attempts to cross the street he gets a close shave for nothing. We would also like to know if the barber takes off ten cents for cutting his hair and he makes you pay more because he has to wipe up the blood. It won't be long now before the boy who brushes off your coat will make you pay so much per speck. A man never realizes how dusty he is until someone in contact with a barbershop attendant or train porter. You have to give them a tip to keep them from ripping your suit to threads with a whisk broom. All barbers may not be gentlemen but the boys who shine shoes have a lot of polish. They may not much influence but if your shoes are untied they can pull a few strings for you. A manicurist is the only girl with whom you can hold hands in public without having people talk about you. By rights a girl who points people's fingernails ought to be a called a file clerk. But she is the only girl who can talk sweetly when she's putting an end to things. Since long hair is growing popular again a man can go into a barbershop without feeling eliminate. Now that barbers have raised the price of haircuts the men are likely to do like the women and wear their hair long this season. First Steps at African Colonization From the Alexandrae (Va.)

Good reading needs to be supplemented by the study of some of the many books devoted wholly or partly to the correctness of faults in the matters re- Among the smaller works that can be recommended is Woolley's "Handbook of Composition" for those of us who have not studied—and learned the contents of—some more comprehensive work of the. Those who work with a little deeper well get Francis K. Ball's "Constructive English." In his column "The Way of the World," Gretchen E. few days work John Ernestine, the eminent educator and author, as saying that "America is the only country where you cannot speak to a native speaker, speaks and writes whether he is educated or not." The fault lies of course in the schools—elementary, high and college—all of which fail in teaching or correct technology. By technique, the correct dong of things as contrasted with the knowing of things. The books names above are devoted mostly to correct doing, and the correction of faults in doing. Both can be from most public libraries, but everyone who essays to write should have on both—or some other at once on his desk to be consulted constantly. Those who have not consulted all book devoted to these matters probably be surprised to note how many errors he has been committing unwittingly. P. H. M. M. Ancient African Bronzes Sold A grim assortment of relies from Benin, West Africa, realised 5,700 pounds at Foster's auction rooms, Palm Mall, S.W., last week. The owner, to whom he added a member of the expedition that annexed the barbarian Benin country to the British Crown thirty-three years ago, buys picked up the grim objects and examined them fearfully. A carved wooden devil-mask covered with human skin was handed round gingerly, and it went for 16 pounds. The war drum of Benin City brought a 2 bid of 5 pounds 5 shillings and other offers were accepted, accounting for pouchlural taps in his leopard's skin top till it sold for 64 pounds. A couple of necklaces made of human teeth went for 1 pound, and tusks made axes realised only 1 pound 5 shillings. Benin Brazos made 300 or 400 years ago brought keen competition A pair of massive figures of leopards reached 227,800 pounds. Among the purchases by Mr. Perman were: A cast of a neogro頭 head with three tribal marks over each eye, 770 guinea; another, 770 guinea; a cast with three figures of princes in relief, 300 guinea; and a pair of carved ivory tusks from Ju-Ju houses, 240 guinea. A pair of casts of human heads, aiding to the cast, were T. Taylor, a memoir of the Benin Funtive Expedition fetched 580 guinea. None Immune Even scientists may show themselves ignorant or gullible when they venture into fields other than their own, as the following statement by Sir Oliver Lodge (whose specialty is physics): "I believe," says Lodge, "that in due time the police force of the world will be in place of America of power can own the hands of a people who can afford it, a people who can be trusted not to abuse it, a people who have land they need, as respected of which to grab more, a people with high and noble traditions to which presently they will determine to adhere." However, one need not expect very clear thinking—outside of this specialty—of those who has accepted vacaries of spiritualism as Sir Oliver has done. "Bawling Out" Grove Patterson, in his "Way of the World" column, says: "If you cannot have respect for the man who is employed by you, let him out. If you do have respect for him, treat him as a man, rather than as an excuse for rebuking in a fit of temper and bad manners, a man who is working for you. He may sometimes deserve a rebuke, a correction, a reprimand. But never do it when either you are angry. You will say more than you mean. Never call down an employee in the presence of others. That is humiliating him. You cannot do that to a man whom you respect." Old Timer Remembers When only the wicked bought card tables. When divorce was a tragedy.

Woman's Suffrage Has Neither Destroyed the Fabric of Society nor Has It Ushered in the Millennium. By KELLY MILLER August 26 marks the tenth anniversary of the adoption of the Nineteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution. On that date a repudiation of opinions was issued touching the probable effectiveness of the suffrage reform. The same year perhaps, was expressed by many as was expressed by Dr. W. A. Nelson president of Smith College. He said, "It is a commonplace that no great political change accomplishes all the evils its opponents predicted or the good its supporters hoped on. Women's rights has neither destroyed the faith of the society nor it adhered to the millennium. Enough Hubbard used to say, that most men are disappointed with marriage because they expected to get more out of it than there is in it. It is even thus with any social process of great expectancy. Prophecy is optimistic fulfillment is too often disappointing. The right of suffrage never gives the recipient equal weight in governmental affairs unless this equality is based upon essential reality. Man either by reason of his long experience and discipline in social and political matters or by force of masculine endowment is at present woman's admitted superior in political capacity. Although the female sex has been accorded equal suffrage rights, yet after ten years' experience, the gender half of our citizenry has impressed no practical influence upon the governmental equation. Few women have attained high political station, and none great political freedom. It is true that this noble experiment has to be beaten to the limit of light of experience, yet there are certain obvious indications of the remoter outcome. No Woman Given a Capital Appointment. I suppose that quite as many women as men voted for President Hoover in the last election, yet he has not seen the wisdom, nor has he been forced by feminine camaraderie to elevate a single woman to a capital position under the government. Several women have been elected to Congress and have served their constituents creditably. But no great measure of legislation has been sponsored and pushed for advocacy. Mrs. Mel Waltel Walker, a general and Assistant Attorney General, and put in charge of the most important function of this portfolio; but her too intolerable zeal for temperance brought about her masculine displacement. It is unfortunately true of all minor and weak groups, that the responsibility of the failure of one must be shared by all. There have been two women governors of states, both of whom were succeeded by men. As eminent woman, the wife of deceased Senator, the wife of candidate Senator, in the Senate not without significance that in almost every case where women aspire to seats in either branch, Congress is to take the place of husband or father who paved the way for relative female succession. Women Have Bettered Local Conditions Only. Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, wife of the governor of New York, stated that women have made a contribution to be government, and that they have participated in local politics, general conditions have improved. This is undoubtedly true in strictly local and limited matters, but not on a large scale or national scale. When women were admitted to the franchise, it was supposed that they would speedily put an end to characteristic masculine vices in public affairs. It was hoped and expected that the solid suffrage of the sex would be cast against intemperance, drunkenness, gambling, gritting and other similar crimes of corruption, to the weakness of associating disposition. But here again we have been sadly disappointed. The Eastern States where women are relatively most numerous, are the wettest. Our Western States where they are least abundant are the dryest. New York and Chicago speak with deafening loudness as to the inefficacy of woman's suffrage to purify municipal politics. The Ballot a Weapon to Secure Just Dues. On the other side of the equation women have had put into their hands the weapon by which they may seize their dues from indifferent or unwilling men. The overbearing gas has borne sovereignty over its weaker counterpart for so long a time that lordly man feels that this woman which God gave him is entitled to only such rights and privileges as may condemn to bestow upon her. The comparative failure of woman an suffrage, after ten years of experiment, is due mainly to the fact that she has felt satisfied that the function of the ballot was to make her equal to man, instead of being an instrument to make her equal to her best self.

CONFRONTED WITH BOOTLEG BARBERSHOPS Raise in Service Prices Gives Rise in Outlaw Shops. WORKMEN SUFFER 25 Cent Emporiums Making Bid for Trade. By RIENZI B. LEMUS NEW YORK.—Afric Harlem—the universe's most nearly artificial urban community—soon may add boot- leg barbershops to its already overcrowded repertoire of paradoxes. It is all on account of the unionizing of its torsional parlors and just barber-shops by the American Federation of Labor Barbers' International Union—the same that unsuccessfully sought by city ordinance to stop Negroes from bobbing white indies' hair at Atlanta, and now sponsors a bill in the state of Virginia, the is to report of which its opponents alliance is to eliminate colored barbers from white shops in that "Home-made" Strike To put through the union program of increases in pay, shorter hours, holidaydays, etc., a "home-made" rule was called. It lasted from Tuesday to Friday of week before and neither the boss barbers nor barbers have yet recovered for the losses sustained during this unknown, or finished singing the blue blues. The singles were closely pre-arranged, with a 50 increase in the haircut rate and shaves costing 25 cents, compared to 15 cents—the old price. Writing about it in the New York World, Mr. Lester A. Walton observed: "It would have been suicidal for the boss barbers to meet the terms laid down by the journeymen barbers had they not boosted prices as a measure of self-protection, such as company rights, such a order to keep open their doors. Their only alternative was to lax the public." This, however, involves no element of novelty in the unionizing of Harlem colored barbers; the game is always played that way. The public pays all wage increases of the barbers, and the reason why the Harlem boss barbers and employee barbers were simultaneously organized under the same auspices. Glyc Banquet The move to unionize Harlem's colored barber shops—boss barbers—was begun early in this year, under the suspicion of a P.O. of Brownsville that it had taken definite form. Nevertheless, a large number of boss barbers and barbers failed to join up until after the strike was declared and the organizers appeared in the shops and "ordered" all out. And then, in some instances, the employees didn't join up. When it was apparent that Harlem was well on the way to barber unionization, the head chief of the international in these parts departed on a deferred trip to Italy. The Sunday night before his departure was made a gala occasion. He was tendered a testimonial dinner by the laborers. The city's newest and most deluxe hotel—the New Yorker. The cost was $7.50 a plate; and among the guests was Frank Crosswaltie, "leading African socialist in the U.S," who nightly STARS OF "HALLELUJAJ Lucky Boy!

Boss barbers are wondering how the man guarantees of $88 weekly minimum to barbers, some of whom don't do more than a $30 business. Besides, the union agreement ppm to 8 am. This has wiped out all-night shop, depriving the boss of revenue and the all-night barber of employment. The International, the understanding is, is to close up and chase out the barbers, curtailing the ability to increase the what is to become of barbers thus forced at a time when there are 90 applications for every available job at the City's Free Employment Moreover, there were 25 cent haircut shops that gave clean and satisfactory service when the standard customer believed nobody believes the public is going to submit to the wiping out of the so-called seab shop in the interest of the American Federation of Labor at this of all times, when too many persons are getting dispossessed because they cannot get their rent money. Money in Atmosphere Generally, the American Federation of Labor brand of trades-unionism misleads the laborer to believe that the barber comes from the atmosphere automatically on union labor's demand. Harlem's newly unionized barbers are more likely to long delay a barber remastered than before the strike: "I see customers who were once mine passing here now going to the 25 cent shops." And in one case, the barber already feel the decrease in customers, due to increase in price of service. The master barber observed that it was a mistake to establish the same rates in Harlem that prevail downtown. His opinion is that a 25 per cent increase in the haircut price would be more reasonable, would be more nearly reasonable. It is too soon to report on the reaction of the entire community to the unionizing of its barber shops. It will be a great success, so that so soon as the effect becomes general, resentment will spread, and bootleg shops will become as numerous as the "Miss Anybody's method" scab shops, will be piled atop each other among the Foro, Apex, Walker, standard-system beauty partors all over Afric Harlem—the universe most nearly artificial urban community.

LAWNSIDE, N.J. — Officers and members of the Grand nited Order of Fishermen of Gallilee are loud in their praise for the reception and entertainment received at Llewisrd by the order, which held its annual convention here, last week. The town is a colored municipality, the government of which is completely managed by Negroes. The visitors who poured into the town were surprised by judging so much progress among the Negroes. South Carolina, Georgia, Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and New Jersey, were in attendance.

Bv GEORGE D. TYLER NEW YORK. — Ralph Banks, baritone concert artist, from Pittsburgh, thinks ten are magnificent master that Negro spirituals as writ-pieces, but as sung, they are little short of sacrilege to his ears. The result is, that today the man who aimed for the stars in the heavens of harmony while singing in the locker room of the Pittsburgh County Club a few years ago, refuses to lend his colorful voice to the music regarded as best expressive of the Negro race. "The spirituals themselves are beautiful. Parts of them are magnificent and probably never are equalled. But present day renditions are improper," emphases Banks. Won't Snz Them Now "I have sung spirituals, and will sing them again—when standards change. But I will not sing them now. The misinterpretations to which I so strenuously object are exploitions of the exotic and reversions to the crude. And the truly beautiful parts are lost," said the singer who has mastered music in five centuries and years only in solo recital engagements. Begins Tour October 30 Banks is now in New York City preparatory to opening a fall and winter October 10. He will be at Carnegie Music Hall on November 7, his second Pittsburgh appearance since his return from studies abroad. Banks's father is now in charge of the locker room of the Pittsburgh Country Club of business and professional men. Young Banks, now 30, aided his father for about 15 years and was a familiar figure on the links as well as in the teacher room even after he began his study.

Eward Bottner, who a few years back assisted materially here in Baltimore in furnishing choral music for a Baptist Convention, was one of the first musicians in Chicago. The singing of Handels' The Hallujah Chorus" from "The Messiah" was a feature of the program, and they are adversely criticized for attempting to or play music conceived and composed by musicians of other racial groups. Most musicians of any group know full well that there are individual differences, and it is accepted that many of the vary: characteristics have been developed as a result of geographic environ- But the music conceived by a master mind like that of Handel, makes a universal appeal and can only be sung effectively by singers who have the mental and emotional investment necessary to interpret it, whether the group be Jew or Gentile, Greek or barbarian, Negro or Nordic, matters but little, and such singing as was done by the Chicago Festival to provoke our argument, to be true. Organize Concert Band A seventy-five piece band is being organized here in town, that will have for its objective the development of concert music. This band has been rehearsing and is fast getting into good shape. The project is a worthy one and deserves the support of all musicians interested in band music. **Milton Reid** has just finished a season broadcasting in Philadelphia, is back in town. Mr. Reid has helped often in our community projects and this winter will be heard over local broadcasting stations. Care should be taken lest punishment exceed the guilt.

Written by Miss Long after reading in "Bursting Bonds" of William Pickens's matricu- "Fire," Webster tells, "is the evolution of heat and light by combustion." And the man of many words said a page in the book he made that statement. Yet, there are many things that he left unsaid when referring to this thing to which bus reporters like to refer as a "conflagration." Briefly, I have just come in from a car and saw a good-looking six-slam fire with real firemen. It had been such a long time since I had attended one, that I found a new thrill in the experience. It was really the best fire that I have ever attended. I caught on fire near the other night, and before the fire was under control it had gutted the enclosure, leaving only shaky stands. Like great monsters, the flames would occasionally leap high into the air, poking their scarlet tongues through the great openings, like eided children at play. Upward and upward in great barrel-like rolls, the smoke mounted, enveloping the downtown section with a murky cloud, making it seem like that the enclosure was on fire. Screaming sirens, clanging bells, and the loud voices of firemen as they shout orders back and forth of sound. Blue-coated policemen, espantons brandished, try hard to keep the milling crowd back of the danger line, but occasionally one slip through. They alert firefighters minutes after the first alarm had been sounded, hundreds of people were on their way to the fire, and within a half hour the streets surrounded by buildings with lines of curious humanity. The old mode of running to a fire was given the lie when several taxi-loads of fire wrohners were seen unloading goods from a fire line. Cheap transportation does it. Color and creed are thrown to the winds, much as the flying sparks, at a fire. Everybody knows how to find themselves jostled by blonde factory workers and vice-versa. You find yourself in conversation with a son of Poland and then answer the questions of a Hebrew who is too short to see what it is all "What's burning?" someone asks, and he gets ten different answers from the crowd. Streams of water, playing on the blaze, seem puny in the result they accomplish, but the steady pressure of the water conquers in the long run. The chug-chug-chug of the pumping water who is shouting directions. He is telling the crowd to move back as some acids are escaping, spraying themselves over the crowd. Seven thiemen have been treated for ourns that are not treated way. The crowd drops back mechanically. "It's raining," somebody yells, and immediately a portion of the throng disperses. It is not rain, however, and the thiemen ascends with the smoke and is then blown back upon the rubber-necked watchers. Within two blocks of the fire the water falls, but outside of that are it is as dry as the Sahara and chin exclams. "Gee, but wouldn't I like to be a fireman. I wish they'd let it burn some more." And he's likely to grow up to be a long distance swimmer, or a lightkeeper. As the flames come more and more under control, and the smoke subsides, some of the less faithful begin to leave. The thrill for them is gone. They have seen a great battle between the two sides. They paid no admission price and there were no fouls to man the proceedings. They got a bargain. Daylight finds the ruins still smouldering. Like an epidemic of smallpox, the ruins are likely to break out any time. So the smouldering ruins are watched carefully. Walls, which once housed the remains of the toterling, like the legs of an old man whose days are numbered. Crumbling huiks, they are, that must be torn down are they cause injury to someone. A fire is more than a confession.

NEW YORK."-Rhythm," the Will Morrissey revue which opened at the Times Square Theatre, here Wednesday night, impressed the critics as being only lukewarm. The best features of the show was that it really saved the piece from being a complete flop Writing in the New York Journal John Anderson says: It is full of energetic toros, clad in the hither and yons, and it steps lively in the manner of a dance war. When it is dancing it is altogether happy, and when it isn't dancing it ought to be. It has no adequate substitute for footwork. In other branches of the revue industry "Hot Rhythm" turned out to be not quite warm enough to serve. Its humor was tepid when not downright chilliness was suggested now and then that the astute Mr Morrissy was kidding us. He and Eddie Bector introduced himself in the audience in on such vocal secrets as "The Tree of Hope," a Harlem Rent Party, the senia originator of Boon-Oop-Doop. God forbid, and an item, called and sung for the opening as "The Pensive of Love." Paige and Slappy Two dusky comics, Long and Markham, strolled in and out on their languid errands of fun, and someone called simon in the voices of two of the sexes. Sam Pake and Slappy, unless my brogramme grossly misleads me, performed agreeably with two midgut guitars, a couple of soup spoons and their feet, of rhythm and the pair of stacmed dancers, undeniable at this late hour, executed some excellent steps. We should not dwell, perhaps, upon the dismal event. Here lem the attention of the dreadful burlesque of a Negro "Othello."

Hartz The Truth About the Great Frederick Douglass Facts About an Eminent American Statesman, Which Are Very Seldom Brought to Light By J. A. ROGERS Noted Author and International Correspondent. The Concluding Part In the person of Douglass, as was said, a new and relentless foe had entered the fight against slavery. To hostile audiences he showed the same spirit that he had shown to the slave masters. to come up, took Douglass in along with himself. After his address, Lincoln, seeing him in the crowd, came to meet him "Here comes my friend, Douglass; cried Lincoln. Taking him by the hand he inquired: "What did you think of my speech?" "Mr. Lincoln," replied Douglass, "... must not detain you with my poor Up and down the Northern states he went thundering against it. He was mobbed in Faneuil Hall, Boston, and at Harrisburg, Pa. At Richmond, Ind. he was greeted with a shower of rotten eggs. At Pendleton, Ind., the mob tore down the platform on which he was speaking. When his mob attacked him, he defended himself with a club until his arm was broken and he was battered into unconsciousness. Then he regained it, with his arm a sling, he insisted on speaking. During the anti-draft riots in New York City when the mob was stealing every color. person, Douglass faced it undaunted. His courage stood as firm as the pigment in his skin. During all this time he was running the risk of being caught and returned to his matsher. This danger he had somewhat avoided by using another name and giving another birthplace. But the pro-slavery faction was challenging him as a fraud. To prove that he was telling the truth, Douglass boldly wrote his autobiography, giving all details. The book had a tremendous sale, but it put the slavers on his track and he fled to England. Besides he had long been wanting to go to strengthen the over the came near losing his life. In a speech he spoke with his accustomed fearlessness against slavery, and a party of incensed Southerners attempted to toss him overboard. But it developed that they had really done him a good turn. The English papers took up the incident and gave him tremendous publicity. The greatest in the land invited him to their homes. Cobden, Brougham, Peel, Disraeli, great British orators, welcomed him. He swept England with the fire of his oratory. Whenver he spoke it was like a warlike ordering the charge. For the first time, too, he knew that it was to be a real man. Even while Americans, who would not have noticed him at home, sought him out now, some of them in the hope of getting acquainted through him with the English elite. Once while speaking in the House of Commons with Lord Morpeth, a certain minister, who he said would never have recognized him at home, came up to him and asked him to introduce him to the lord. When he spoke of returning to America some of the leading English prosessionals urged him not to, offering him a home as long as he lived, but he replied that there was no imprisonment strong enough to make him desert his people. "Whether a slave or a freeman," he said. "America is my home and there I mean to spend and be spent in the cause of my outraged countrymen." (It is .... important to note that he said "countrymen," not "race.") When his English friends found out that he could not be persuaded, they gave him $20,000; of this sum $50 was to purchase his freedom; the remainder was to found a newspaper. Back in America with his freedom bought, he went to Rochester and under the North Star paper, both with the man; it fight not for freedom but equality. This was necessary as the abolition-generally opposed equality, some because they were not in favor of others because they feared it would alienate friends. Douglass, however, believed firmly in the equality of all men. "I know of no race problem," he insisted; there is a human problem." He faw the slaves and the freedmen at negroes but as Americans, the countryman of the proudest in the land. He contended that the Constitution was an anti-slavery document; he firmly opposed the Back-to-Africa idea, asking that the place for the black man was his country; America; and he preceded Booker T. Washington by using free colored persons to own land, build up farms, learn trades, interest, wore off to colder tundras. The above differences with some of the abolitionists were the cause of the withdrawal to Rochester. Rochester which was later proud to have a monarch, him, once a monarch, him, of witnessing a "Negro paper in its midst. According to Douglass, even some of the Negroes made fun of him But as stock. Nor did he desert the lecture platform. With his firm friends, Wendell Phillips and Theodore Tilton, he intent everywhere. By this time he had become, in himself, the most decisive argument against slavery, and won converts by the thousands, the pro-slavery party hated him more than anyone else. Another who was greatly inspired by Douglas was John Brown. The latter was a frequent visitor to his home. When John Brown was about to make his raid on Harpers Ferry, he begged Douglas to come along, but Douglas realizing that it would be an attack on the federal government rather than on slavery, refused. Most likely he also realized the hopefulness of the attempt. Nevertheless the raid brought him ss, as was said, a new and re-fight against slavery. To hos-same spirit that he had shown At Pendleton, indiana, the mob tore THE BATTLE At Pendleton, Indiana, the mob torne down the platform on which he was speaking; when it attacked him are defended himself with a club. much trouble, and he was forced to flee into Canada, and thence to England. His name had been sound among John Brown's papers, and all persons who had been connected with Brown were being rounded up. What he really leared at the time was this: he had been aiding slaves to escape for which he was liable to imprisonment. He was a stationmaster on the Underground Railway, as the methods of getting slaves from the South into Canada, was weak. In England once more, he agitated strongly for America when the North had begun to know the John Brown raid in a different light. When war actually began, he threw his whole weight into its prosecution. His slogan was: "Union and Emancipation; Abolition or Destruction." opinion. There are thousands waiting to shake your hand. "No, no," answered Lincoln, "you must stop a little. There no man in the country whose opinion I value more than yours. I want to know what you think of it." "Mr. Lincoln," responded Douglass, "that was a sacred effort." But for Douglass also, the Negro might not have become a citizen at least when he did. President Johnson's idea was to get the South back into the Union by giving it as tree a hand as possible with the freed men. Douglass saw therefore this would lead to, and end, the ballot. The majority of America, he said, depended on three boxes: the Ballot-box, the Jury-box, and the Cartridge-box. character almost everywhere in the North, but that did not prevent him being snubbed by two colored dimin ear waiters who did not wish to attend him because of his color. Writing of this in his autobiography Douglass said: "In their eyes I saw Fred Douglass, suddenly, and possibly served, lifted above them. The face that I was colored and they were colored had so long made us equal that the contradiction now presented was too much. After all, I have no blame for Sam and Garcia of servility to train in the school of servility to believe that only white men were entitled to be waited upon by colored men." While the rank and file of our people quote with much vehemence the Consistent with his policy of equality, he demanded that colored persons should be used as soldiers in the army, instead of merely as servants and laborers. Northern color prejudice opposed it, and Lincoln obeyed the popular will. Still, Douglas fought for it, and as the need of men grew with thousands of white men deserting the North, he was forced to accept them, at last. It was these colored soldiers, as was said, who turned the tide of battle in favor of the North. Douglas helped to raise the 54th and 55th Massachusetts Regiments, his sons, Charles and Lewis, being among the first to enlist. He, himself was promised the post of Assistant to General Thomas by Secretary of War Stanton; the latter, however, did not keep his promise, although Douglas reminded him of it many times. With colored soldiers now in the army, the next task was to see that they were fairly treated. The policy of the South was to hang all colored prisoners. As Horace Greeley said at the time: "Every black soldier now goes to battle with a halter about his neck." Douglass insisted that the North should retaliate on such occasions; further, that the colored soldier should receive the same pay as the white, and the same opportunity for promotion. Stubbornly he fought for this, and was a frequent visitor at the White House. Lincoln thought him much of a best at first, but as the Negro soldiers began to prove their worth, Lincoln learnt to appreciate the wisdom of his counsels, and in darkest moments of the conflict would sometimes send for him. On one occasion he sent for him to ask what was the best means of getting the 'slaves to the masters' as he felt that that was the quickest way to demoralize the South. At Lincoln's second inauguration, Douglass was, however, barred at the door because of his color. A. genit- nion, who knew him well, happening THE AFRO-AMERICAN to come up, took Douglass in along with himself. After his address, Lincoln, seeing him in the crowd, came "to meet him" "Here comes my friend, Douglass," "cried Lincoln. Taking him by the hand he inquired: "What did you think of my speech?" "Mr. Lincoln," replied Douglass... "I must not detain you with my poor down the platform on which he was defended himself with a club. opinion. There are thousands waiting to shake your hand." "No, no." answered Lincoln, "you must stop a little. There is no man in the country whose opinion I value more than yours. I want to know what you think of it." "Mr. Lincoln," responded Douglas "that was a sacred effort." But for Douglas also, the Negro might not have become a citizen at least when he did. President Johnson's idea was to get the South back into the Union by giving as a hand as possible with the freed Douglas where this would be, and demanded the ballot. The liberty of America, he said, depended on three boxes: the Ballot-box, the Jury-box, and the Cartridge-box. "From the first," said Douglass. "I saw no chance of bettering the condition of the freedman until a should cease to be a freedman and become a citizen. I insisted that there was no safety for him or anybody else in America outside the American government. . . ." "I set myself to work with whatever force I possessed to secure this power for the recently emancipated millions." This proposition was received as ridiculous even by most of the abolitionists. Even Garrison, himself, had to be won over to the idea by Wendell Phillips. With the winning of the ballot, Douglass's greatest task was done. But there were honors, such as they were, in store for him. He served in the following posts: U.S. Commissioner to San Domingo; Minister to Haiti; Member of the Legislative Council of the District of Columbia; presidential elector of New York, and bore the vote of that state for Grant to Washington; and Marshal of the District of Columbi in which post he officiated at the inauguration of President Garfield: At one Republican convention he was one of those paraded for the Presidency. Later, he gave lectures on "Self-Made Men," that thrilled black and white alike. In 1871 he delivered an address at Arlington Cemetery, at which President Grant was present; in 1876 at the unveiling of the Freedmen's Monument in Wellington was the orator of the occasion, President Grant bainted, and other quinquennial were present. This speech was printed and sold over the nation. In 1886 he toured Europe and visited Egypt. Himself and Mrs. Douglass were invited to all-public functions at the White House by President Cleveland. His declining years were spent on his property, Cedar Hill, at Anacostia, D.C. on land formerly owned, an artistocraftor who neither muttered nor groan, nor Irishman, saw in a foot of his land, surrounded by his books and souvenirs, he devoted himself to the The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, August 30, 1930 study of music, of which he was passionately fond. Here, also, national and international personages visited him. He became known as "The Sage of Anacostia." Many other interesting stories could be told of him, but the following deserves mention. After the war, he longed to visit his friends in Maryland but was regarded as an outlaw. Many years later, however, he was permitted to do so. Among those he saw was his cruel master, Thomas Auld. Auld, poverty-strenken, lay on his death-bed with paralysis. Douglass greeted the dying man kindly and freely forgave him. When Auld addressed him as "Marshal Douglass," Douglass replied: "Not Marshal Douglass, but Frederick." This touching way of showing his forgiveness was later construed as subservience by Douglass's enemies the colored people, man of whom never torgave their second marriage. Lifted his voice like a trumpet told the people of their trans-sons. The Narragansett Times said: "Slave, fugitive, crusader, chamelever of trust success, welder vast usefulness, commander of world's respect, yet with all of honors, humble, gentle, as are all truly great. "In his immense ascent from lowest depths of condition where masses were reached not even a faintest gleam of hope to the heir of meritorious and even majestic triumph, in his noble aspirations, upward mountings, his final pleasure, success, the life this man affords one of the ratiest satisfying illustrations of high human realization that appears in the story of the world." Paul Laurence Dunbar, whom befriended, wrote: "Anc. he no soft-tongue When Auld died he had his name in the leading paper of the country thanks to the fact that he had once owned Douglass. He was received as a privileged speaking; when it attacked him ne character almost everywhere in the North, but that did not prevent his being snubbed by two colored car waiters who did not wish to attend him because of his color. Writing of this in his autobiography, Douglass said: "In their eyes I saw Fred Douglass, suddenly, and possibly underserved, lifted above them. The fact that I was colored and they were colored had so long made us equal that the contradiction now presented was too much. After all, I have no blame for Sam and Garrett. They were trained in the school of servility to believe that only white men were entitled to be waited upon by colored men . . . "While the rank and file of our people quote with much vehemence the doctrine of human equality, they are among the first to deny it and denounce it in practice." Having won the vote for the black man, Douglass threw himself into the fight to win it for the women. But the end had come. On February 20, 1895, after addressing a woman's suffrage convention, he returned home to dinner. all apparently in the best of health in spite of his seventy-eight years. Dinner finished, he topped in the hallway to relate with his usual enthusiasm, the events of the day. Suddenly he dropped to his knees, his hands clasped. Mrs. Douglass thought he was only acting but he sank lower and lower, and finally tumbling to the floor. breathed his la The press of the civilized world mourned his loss and carried stirring culiges of him. Memorial services were held for him in many parts of the nation, while the city of Roch-ter voted to suspend business at his burial. A monument, costing $10,000 was also erected there in his honor. Of this sum $1,000 was voted by the State, and a like sum by the Republic of Haiti. Theodore Roosevelt was the orator of the occasion. The Northern press, as was said, spoke in highest terms of him, though, but one or two of the many hundred editorials on him can be quoted. The Chicago Western Newspaper Union said: "Physically, mentality, and morality. Mr. Douglass was a grand specimen of manhood, and any race might be proud to claim him as a representative. . . As an orator and a thinker he ranked with the best in the land; though slave-born and excluded, the advantages of education he had a command of the English language that was marvelous in its perfection. . . Sneered at, hissed, mumbled, stoned, assaulted, he stemmed the tide and came off. When it was a success for white men even to speak the truth on the question of slavery, he did not equivocate or nageiate evil with soft words. He [Name] PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR, the poet, close personal friend of Frederick Dunglass lifted his voice like a trumpet and told the people of their transgressions." The Narragansett Times said: "Slave, fugitive, crusader, champion achiever of trust success, welder of vast usefulness, commander of the world's respect, yet with all of his honors, humble, gentle, as are all the truly great. "In his immense ascent from the lowest depths of condition where the masses were reached not even . . . the faintest glean of hope to the heels of mertorious and even majestic triumph, in his noble aspirations and upward mountings, his final complete and serene success, the life of this man affords one of the most satisfying illustrations of high human realization that appears in the history of the whole world." Paul Laurence Dunbar, whom he befriended: wrote: "Anc. he was no soft-tongued apologist; He spoke straight-forward, fearlessly, uncovered. The sunlight of his truth dispelled the mist And set in bold relief each dark-hued cloud. To sin and crime he gave their proper hue prophet And hurried at evil what was evil's due." Theodore Tilton wrote: I remember them. "I knew the noblest giants of my day. And he was of them, strong amid the strong." Some day when the mists of color shall have been blown away, Douglas will be honored for what he was, the equal of any great man this nation has produced, and an inspiration for all mankind. The Negroes of America owe him an immense debt; but for him things would have been much worse for them, than they are today. ADDENDUM Lincoln was opposed to giving the Negro the vote. In his speech at Charleston Illinois, September 18, 1858, he said not, not only in favor of the Negro but in favor of jurors of Negroes, nor in qualifying them to hold office.” Lincoln was also also of colonization in the United States, his proposed arrangement to the Constitution for colonizing Negroes outside of the United States. The United States spanned hundreds of sand lands and Columbia and Guatemala, but nothing came of it. In 1862, when a deputation of Negroes visited the United States, they vowed to encourage other people to leave America in black and white. This, he said, was wav, reason at what test, "their own." sure. Yet, if any great numbers of Negroes had taken his advice, the Union forces might have lost the "Vil War."

Their families get worried sick with their constant changing, and yet there is something that they do not realize, that desire publicity very intently story for change is a part of that person's nature, and the only way to handle Baffling Murders From Monday night on, the news was swept from ward to ward, leaping an ever-widening trail of astonishment. "Messrs. Death & Company!" By the latter part of the week it had spread like wildfire. All Chicago was agog over the sensational announcement that Mrs. David Griffin, widow of the late T. Elmer Griffin, formidable figure in the world of Negro finance, had purchased her death with the same nonchalance that she had in the old days, purchased a string of pearls. Newspaper. editorials came thick and fast, forcibly denouncing this amazing incident as—quoting the News—"an affair that smacks disgustingly of the fliendish accomplishments of an irresponsible mania!" In its home edition of Friday afternoon, four days after the finding of the old woman's body, this newspaper took another step and stated that: "While we are aware of the fact that we are living in an age in which scientific research has, figuratively speaking, spread her sins; while we can accept the fact that a powerful bomb can be set in motion and guided by means of radio to a destination two thousand miles away, and that this same bomb can destroy a city the size of New York in ten minutes, this newspaper finds it a great tax on its intelligence to believe that a gas has been discovered or invented, that can bring to the human body both completely ectasy and death at the same time. "With all due respect to Dr. Fields, the first of his profession to view the body, who later sated that the discoloring at the tip of the dead woman's nose might have been caused by a contrivance at the end of a length, of hose, through which this mysterious gas passed into her body and to Coroner Hall and Chief Rogerty, this newspaper believes that much might be accomplished by ignoring the letter, the odor found in the room, and the statement by members of the woman's family that she had recently attempted suicide in her home. We believe that the discolor- it is to USE it instead of worrying about it. If you are always wanting to change—if you want to go places and do things all the time—the then thing for you to do is to get into a kind of work where you can do this. In the specimen of handwriting we have this week, there is all the evidence in the world of this changing, restless nature. Those long loops run from one line into the next. Such a person is never satisfied. If you have a friend whom you do not understand, who does not stalk you, job, study his writing, you will find that more of ten, there is a conflict between the loops of one line and the stroke of the line below it. Men and women with this kind of nature need to get into work where they can be going places. Such people are satisfied in the publicity field or in the advertising field, or in selling them are in any kind of a clerical office position. This unsettled state of mind—this desire for change and variety—is not a fault; it is a part of their personal nature, and the only thing to do is to recognize it as such, and then work with it rather than against it. Study your own writing and the writing of your friends. Look for these loops and long strokes, and you will understand the restless person very much better. You may have a personal report made of your handwriting if you will write a page, using pen and ink. Sign your name, send to Dr. M. N. Bunker, with the stamped and self-addressed envelope for reply. Be sure to enclose the stamped envelope, for letters without this will be discarded. a great chair, a beautiful young woman in mourning black. There was her much older husband, Richard Bundy, and his odd-looking companion, Mr. Reid, over there on the lounge, blindly scanning the front page of the newspaper to the Lawyer Evans, a mournful man, who casually passed over to them. Studying the faces in the room indoors—lustily, a "eift guardedly, Holcomb, who had been introduced as "M Brown," saw black glances flash back and forth with telegraphic rapidity. He felt now that the two policemen that he knew were secreted on the grounds, would be needed quite soon, as would the revolver and the emergency whistle on his person. Then Mr. Reid suddenly rose to his feet and addressed the lawyer, who was busy at the broad table with a pile of documents. "I say, Mr. Evans," he laughed. "I'm outside for a bit of air. You won't be ready to proceed for some minutes, ch?" Evans nodded. Bundy, the young woman's husband, got to his feet also. "A bully idea!" he exclaimed. "I think I'll go along, too!" Mildred arose now—the beautiful young woman in black. "I must use the telephone," she said. Together, they were proceeding toward the door. Holcomb went inside, whispering that he sprout out of his chair and blocked their way. "Just a minute, please." Lower jaws dropped. Brown faces went "udently pale. Richard Bundy turned, addressing the lawyer, "Your Mr. Brown," he snapped, "is most annoying. Evans. I told you——" "You're speaking of Detective Holcomb," the detective interrupted calmly. "Ohi—a detective! And what may be your errand here?" "You read the newspaper story didn't you? "You read the newspaper but--you say! you don't suspect any of the servants?" "Wrong." "Indeed! Why—why he acts—that is, almost acts as if he suspects one of us! Perhaps you'd better leave here." "Not on your life, Bundy. For Ive a hunch I'm 'aking to the murderers of Mrs. Griffin!" The young woman in black suddenly whirled around and sank into a chair, laughing harshly. "Such a ridiculous idea! Come, Richard, to the man tell his preposterous story. How could we murder our dear grandmother?" She burst into very audible "b." Holcomb drew his revover. He filled the room with two share notes from his whistle. The group of servants gasped. The lawyer stuffed his papers back into his brief case. Footsteps sounded out in the hall and two burly black policemen appeared. Williams, the News reporter, dashed into the room with pen and pad ready. "You want to know how you did it." Holcomb was murmuring. "Listen, Mrs. Griffin was worth a hundred thousand dollars, most of it being willed to you three. You wanted to get your hands on it. She was old, but somehow she wouldn't seem to die. You got together. Planned. Your Mr. Rei, I learned, is a spiritual healer. "Now the old lady was half all most of the time. You, Mrs. Griffin's grand-daughter, prevailed on her to go to the Park Hotel—and she went because you said that the man who would visit here there could surely cure her. "Bundy, you wrote that letter to the police, to throw on the track. And an hour or so before it was received, you, Reid, to that hotel room and the army blanket the woman to death in your car—gray hairs on it. That was not all. There was an old inner tube, and it still smelled of expensive perfume—and nature" gas—the newly discovered scientific aid to a pleasurable death. Bah! "You are both under arrest.

In all probability, Mr. Holcomb has 'smelled a rai'." --- Chief Roggerty grunted and pivoted about in his chair so that he could see through the open door and view a part of the corridor outside. Familiar footsteps had sounded out there. "Something's up for sure!" drawled the young reporter, who had been just about to leave the room. "It's Holcomb. It's not like him to walk fast like that." "No, it ain't," Roggerty murmured, tugging thoughtfully at hi. heavy mustaches. "It sure ain't." The next instant the gaunt form of Holcomb stood framed in the doorway, smiling. "Howdy, chief!" he greeted. "Howdy, Williams." "Morning, Holcom " "Where in the 'Sam Hill' have you been these last four days?" Roggerty roared. "Doing a little scientific investigating, Chief." "Any rare snakes?" "Hope—no rainbows!" The reporter started for the door. It's a wonder they hadn't kicked him out right away, he thought; but just at that moment Holcomb swung around and addressed him. "Dock on a minute," he吭ed. "he cried, digging, graffiti." "What time does the News io to press? Hmm!—oi. o'clock, eh?" "And it will be on the street at three," the reporter went on brightly. Holcomb made a swift calculation. Roggerty arched his eyebrows and smiled blandly. Then the celebrated sleuth began again: "Listen, Williams," he said, "I want you to write up a nice little story, see? The police suspect the author of the letter; they're going to make an arrest in a few hours. It was all a frame-up, see? She was murdered in cold blood. Spread it on thick understand? And I want a headline spread across the top of the front page!" He grinned, "But this ain't to go in this edition, Williams," he said. "I want only one paper for myself, and I've got to have one with that story in it. I've got a scheme. If it works, the News will get a good cover, an extra edition tonight! I don't know how you'll need to work but get me one paper with that story back here in an hour!" Even before the sentence was finished, the property had vanished. The property had leaped to his feet, amazed. Holcomb swung around and faced him, talking rapidly: "I've got a hunch, Chief," he cried. "If it works, all right; if it doesn't." I ruined! I've been looking for an idiot who thinks he's smart, and I've found him. Now Listen, Chief—"His voice dropped to a whisper as he talked. Perforce, Rogerty smiled and framed by turns, and in the end he whisked up the telephone at his elbow, growing a number—"Attorney Evans, please. Yes, Evans? Chief Rogerty speaking. I understand that Mrs. Griffin's will be to read by you this afternoon at three. Right, am I? Well, listen, Evans; we've got a man over here who's burning up with a hot hunch, and he needs a little assistance. . . Oh, no, no, nothing like that. . . Oh, you to do yourself, along as—ah—a friend of yours. No, they don't know him. What do you say? . . . Good!" Rogerty hung up the receiver and the two men went into a fresh and more spirited huddle.

Boycott of Owner Brings Him to Terms DETROIT, Mich., (ANP.)—One more satisfactory demonstration of just what can be accomplished through united effort, was clearly achieved by John Rosink, white owner of the Detroit Stars baseball team, by the successful boycott of Rosink's Stadium by baseball fans here who stayed away from the park three weeks after the game. The Stars are playing the best ball of their career. The boycott grew out of Rosink's failure to advertise in local newspapers, his arrogant, insulting attitude, and his game, his failure to compensate, or to visit or even speak kindly to any of the many persons injured in the catastrophe at Mack Park last summer, and the ally-fair treatment of his players. Playing to empty benches brought Rosink down from his apartment, and he retract his statement, according to reports. He has turned the park management over to Mose L. Walker, a park manager, an agreement that he will stay away from the park himself, and his advertisements in the Negro newspapers are asking fans to again support the team.

HILLDALE LOSES TWO TO LINCOLN GIANTS Close Scores Mark Games as Giants Conquer by 10-9 and 7-6 Scores. HITTING IS HEAVY Farrell Wins Own Game with Circuit Blow. NEW YORK. — Playing between showers and on a wet field, the Lincoln Giants beat another double-header from the Hilldale Club at the Catholic Protective Oval Sunday afternoon, by the scores of 10-9 and 7-6. Luther Farrell not only beat Phil Cootell pitching the first game but Farrell also led his team at bat, getting a home run, a three bagger and a single in three trips to the plate. The batting of Joe Lewis was also a feature of this game. Lewis made three singles and a double in five trips to the plate. Fielding Thrills In the second contest, Jenkins Thomas and Smith showed the fans some nifty fiffing. Both Jenkins and Smith thrilled the crowd by going back to the fence for one-handed catch. Bizz Mackey retained his batting eye in this game and hit one of his long-home-run drives over centerfield. Bill Riggins also hit a home run. Rain Halls Game Because of the time taken out for the rain, the second game went only the seventh. In Hilldale's half of the seventh, Jones got his base on balls and Lackey got on through an error by Cox. Manager Phil Good sent bent knees to the base and Joe scored Jones on a sacrifice fly. The Daisies made a desperate attempt to start a rally but both Mackey and Carter grounded out. The Camden nine will be the attraction at Protectory Oval Sunday. HILLDale.

Lee LeCompte, state game warden that the open season for the hunting of railbird is September first to November 30, inclusive. It is unlawful to hunt squirrel or dove in the counties of Baltimore, Hartford and Howard except between November 10th and December 31st, inclusive. It is unlawful to hunt squirrel or dove in Alleghany or Garrett counties except between October 1st and November 9th, inclusive. It is lawful to hunt squirrel and dove in all other counties except between October 1st and November 9th, except between October 30th, inclusive; closed season October 1st to November 9th, inclusive; then open season November 10th to December 31st, inclusive. (Female as the latest date in any year dove can be hunted and supercedes the State laws.) Limits Set The bag limit per day for rabbits is 25, that for squirrels, 10, and that for dove, 25. During the years of 1928 and 1929, nuts of all species and acorns were scarce in the majority of the counties of the state and southwest of the state, so their cornfields in quest of food. However, nuts and acorns are more plentiful this season than they have been for the past two years and there have been no complaints from the farmers that the nuts were destroying their corn crops. Due to the extreme drought which has prevailed since early Spring and which at this time still prevail in the country, we should be in conditions before September 1st. It would be very inadvisable for the sportsmen of the state to hunt squirrel or dove in the countryside, and to hunt these species 'september 1st, as hunting during extreme dry periods is very dangerous to forests and fields and serious fires are likely to occur. We should therefore be serious forest fires in its history. The early forest fires, especially those during May, destroyed thousands of ground nesting birds and game. We should also kill all sections of the State are to the effect that game is plentiful in our covers. Lincoln (Mo.) University Has High Grid Hopes JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — The Blue Tigers of Lincoln University are the first team in the gridron, with the best team in the history of the institution is the forecast. Each Waters, recently returned from the Zuppke School of Coaching in Illinois, is high in hopes for his 1993 team. Although a difficult season, such opposition as Fisk, Wilberforce, Tennessee State, Langston, West Virginia, Arkansas, and Kentucky State, is coming to Tigers. The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, August 30, 1930 SIR James Keenan and Monsignor Cum Posey, bosses respectively, of the Lincoln Giants and Groundhogs baseball teams, must be reared back on their own now, puffing away bitingly upon the firm smoker's device, known as the peace pipe, and you can't much blame 'em. Preparatory to play, and you the Lincoln and the Grays, these men went through a series of word gymnastics that must have put old Noah Webster to shame. Through the weekly press they have been making dirty digs at each other in an effort to heat up the paying public to a series between the two teams. Hear Mr. Keenan as he bells from New York to the Smoky Hear Mr. Keenan as he bellows from New York to the Smoky City: The Lincoln Giants will play the Homestead Grays two games at Pittsburgh on Saturday, September 13; two games in New York on Sunday, September 14; two games at Pittsburgh on Saturday, September 20, and two games at New York on Sunday, September 21. In the event of the series going eleven games, we can start at Pittsburgh on Friday, September 12, and play the tenth and eleventh games in New York on September 22 and 23. Now, as to your money objections—the Lincoln Giants will play in Pittsburgh for a flat guarantee (no percentage) for each day, and will agree to give the Homestead Grays the same amount of guarantee to play in New York, with the understanding that the Saturday guarantee in Pittsburgh and the Sunday guarantee in New York be the same. What I charge in New York need not concern you. Neither need it concern you as to what expense I go in advertising the series and making it a success. Personally, this pillar would like to see these two teams meet in a series. They are going to meet, and you can bank on that, despite the seeming difficulties in coming to taw. On paper the Lincoln will take the series, barring any monkey business. To make the trip East an even more profitable one, this humble scrivener begs to interpose the Grays might also find the Black Sox to the help in the swing around the circle. The present edition of the local club is no slouch and with local fans thirsting for real attractions the Grays would certainly draw well Let it be a three-cornered series for the title, if you please. And this despite the fact that in the matter of games played, the Lincoln have the edge on the Warfieldmen. This matter of terms is all a matter of bunko. As long as a team gets its desired guarantee it should not worry as to what admissible or how much money is spent on promoting the project. If the Grayman come East, and I am sure that they will, Baltimore should see them. And if this be treason, make the most of it. paid in recent years to a fighter Bruce Flowers, the veteran New Ed.

Writing of the Flowers-Suarez fight, in which the Negro fighter suffered his first knockout in 137 fights, M. Sullivan says: The other night, under the yellow lights that shed golden illumination over the four poles that form the Queensboro Stadium ring, Bruce Flowers matched the greatest fighting men of his race in gallantry as he was battered helpless by the punishing gloves of one Justo Suarez, a South American killer. It would be happy for all of us if we were to meet our greatest tragedy in the fashion in which Bruce Flowers greeted a relentless finish. How hard to keep his floundering legs braced, Flowers met his knockout with his face to Suarez and with his paralyzed arms vainly attempting a counter-attack that was little more than fultile pawings. Cudgelled to the canvas, Flowers gamely crawled back to his shaky legs; floored again, he again clambered upright. His eyes were glazed and they had that stricken, vacant look of one who has been battered beyond human endurance, but Flowers' unborn courage kept those vacant eyes proud and defiant ahead of him. I have never seen a Dixon or a Langford or a Pete Jackson, but I am content. I have looked upon Bruce Flowers and this time I am an inspiration to all of weaker mettle. It was the first time in 137 fights that any one had ever knocked out the New Rochelle Negro. Others had felled him, for his face and head always seemed particularly sensitive to blows, but Suarez alone can claim he battered him into complete helplessness. In those 137 fights, Bruce Flowers grossed about $150,000. His greatest purse was a $14,000 fee for fighting the rugged Stan Loayza in Detroit. I trust that Flowers has saved his money. Even his fine courage will be buttressed by money in the bank in years to come. And that last statement is reiterated fortissimo by this dubblecol.

MISS WASHINGTON WINS Nathaniel Jackson Retains Title in Junior Division. (Special to the AFRO-AMERICAN) INDIANAPOLIS, ind.—The crowning of a new king in the men's singles, Dougall Turner, University of Illinois net star, and the continued reign of the queen of the Women's singles, Miss Ora Washington, of Chicago marked the close of the fourteenth annual tennis championships of the American Tennis Association, which ended on the courts of Douglass Park, here, Saturday. The title in the junior singles went to Nathaniel Jackson of North Carolina, who by a peculiar coincidence, met his brother, Frank, in the defense. The women's doubles title went to Miss Ora Washington and Mrs. Blanche Winston, the latter taking the place of Miss Lulu Ballard, co-defendant of the 1929 title, who did not win. The mixed doubles title went again to the team of Dr. O. B. Williams, of Chicago, and Miss Missa Gant, of Washington, who defeated Russell Smith and Miss Lulu Porter, both of Chicago, for good sportsmanship during the tournament. The national doubles title was not decided, Finalists in the match were against Drs. Downing and McGirr of Virginia. Saturday at dawn, Turmer and Hudlin were leading. The officials decided that the match would have to be continued Sunday. But Dr. Downing declined to play on Sunday because he was learned that Dr. McGirr could not remain until Monday. An agreement was then made to play the match on Sunday and place it to be decided later. Turner Springs Upset Turner, plaving in his first national tournament sprang the surprise of the competition by working his way to the finals and then by his career as the former national champion, in straight sets, 6-2, 7-5, 6-3. During the entire week's play, he dropped only one set, in the semi-finals. What a feat he accomplished by eliminating Norman can be best appreciated when it is noted that Norman defeated the third-ranked champion, 6-2, 6-3. Thompson, plaving his dashing spectacular game, had defeated Eyre Saich in the other semi-final match, and had skilled and skill at the net, had freely predicted that Ted would make short work of the more philatectic Turner. But the new champion was not to be expected, and Thompson at the net, he refused to engage him there, and repeatedly forced the former champion to retreat to back court where he placed under cover, that Thompson was unable to return. Another upset came in the quarter finals when Edgar Brown, defending champion, bowed before Gerald Norris, of the New York Giants, sets, 6-2, 6-4, Norman, for the junior division last year, weared his opponent with deadly drives and brilliant placements before winning the last two games of the match in Women's Title Easy Miss Blanche Winston, of New York, was Miss Washington's victim in the finals and proved no match for the driving Germanium star, who swept to an easy victory. 6-2, 6-3. Notable among those absent from the tournament were: Reginald Weir of New York, James Stocks of California, and Conrado Limico of Chicago. The reason for Weir's absence was said to be connected with his studies: Stocks had said he jumped from season 1; Limico, according to report, had made preparations to sail for his home in the Philippines. Limico defeated Turner at the grass court championships he'd in Chicago early in August. The attendance at this year's tournament was unusually large. There were sixty-seven entries in the singles.

The local pastimemen won the initial contests, but they shelted the offerings of Vance, Baron right-hander, for a total of 17 blows. The Stars coupled their barge with the five miscues committed by the Southeners to win by the large margin of 17-3. Dean Dean was on the firing line for the Detroiters and limited the visitors to seven hits that were scattered over the nine rounds of play. The big right-hander was never in danger. Leroy "Satchel" Paige fell victim to the heavy bludgeoning wielded by the Detroit swatmists in the open field. The Stars coped both ends of a twin bill. Paige Hit Hard The Stars maced Paige for ten bingles, including four doubles and a triple. In the seventh frame, with two Dettolers on the runways, Paige Daniels combed a slashing double pass Stearns to pitch to Daniels, down the third base line to empty the sacks. The final count was 7-2. When Daniels pitched stiffly, the Dixie bats in the nightcap, yielding two hits, Perkins helping himself to both, a double in the fourth and another two-ply swat in the seventh. Perkins was the only running runner to visit the second base. CHICAGO LAD BREAKS RECORD IN A.A.U. MEET PITTSBURGH, Pa.—Brilliant performances by Negro stars lent color to the national A.A.U. games held at Pitt Stadium here, over the weekend. Outstanding in the senior 'event was the thrilling victory of Eddie Tolan, University of Michigan flyer, who retained his title in the 100-yard dash by nosing out George Simpson of Ohio State University as he was clocked in 9.7. Loses in 220-Yard Dash Tolan was beaten by Simpson, however, in the 220-yard dash, the Buckeye runner having a lead of 3 yards onolan at the finish, the team was 2:21. Equalling Tolan's time in the junior division was Ralph Metcalfe young Chicago sprinter, who won that event to set a new record in his class. Metcalfe competed in the senior 220 and placed fourth. The Chicago team recorded a record that has stood since 1900. One of the biggest upsets of the meet was experienced when Edward Gordon, of the University of Iowa, National A.A.U. and National Collegiate A.A. champion, and Ed Miller, white of Georgia Tech, each failed to qualify in the brood jump at the ordinary journeyman jumping distance. Utterback Out Phil Edwards did not defend his 880-yard run title and the event was taken by Ed Gengun of the Washington A.C.

Organized Labor and White Communities Proscribe Higher Trades. Vocational Schools Have Degreeitis. WASHINGTON, D. G.—"While progressive Nordics of America are promulgating the purposeful expansion of trade and vocational education for their youth, benighted Negroes are still enamored of the traditional misnamed liberal education," laments G. David Houston, principal of Armstrong Technical High School. A recent survey, he reveals, shows that Greek and Latin are taught only in the colored schools of the South, and, while the Negro student is persevering over the translation of the construction of Caesar's bridge, the white student is learning to construct a bridge, the like of which Caesar had no conception of. Awarded Scholarship Trade schools for Negroes, he points out, are found principally in the Southern states, though as far north as Bordentown, N.J., and Downington, Pa., successful courses of instruction in vocations are in operation. More Courses for Boys One unfortunate revelation of the survey is the fact that while nine courses of vocational training are given to boys, only three are open to girls. Male students have a choice of agriculture, automobile mechanics, brick-laying, shoe repairing, cabinet making, carpentry, printing, tailoring and tinkling, while the females have only cooking, dressmaking and plain sewing from which to select a life's vocation. Mr. Houston also finds that institutions for vocational training are becoming frantic over academic degrees, with the colored schools suffering from the most acute stage of degrees. Is no longer a question of a teacher's tried and approved efficiency, but the pertinent query is, "What degree does he wear?" More and more, he says, a man's vocation is beginning to be represented by his degree rather than by his ability. Organized Labor In isolated instances, Mr. Houston points out, such subjects as plumbing, applied electricity and architectural drawing are to be found in the courses of study, but the subjects of research, reference and communication are the demands of the localities served. Herein lies the gravest obstacle in the development of trade and vocational courses for Negroes. No successful courses in trade and vocational education can be established with the help of co-operation between the school and the community in which it is located, Mr. Houston declares. The school, the prospective employer, and organized labor must work out. in harmony, any successful plan of vocational education. Race Issue In the District of Columbia, Mr. Houston says, organized labor sought to prove that everything was wrong with the trade schools in the capital. They went so far as to request the Federal Board to make certain changes. All of the higher branches of vocational endeavor were reserved for white trade schools, while the courses recommended by the board for colored boys were training as porters and dining car coaches with a few other students. Organized labor. if not openly hostile to higher vocational training for Negroes, is not cordial to the trained mechanic. Takes Issue "Label the assertion as heretical or dogmatic, he says, but there is no reason under the heavens why a successful instruction in the college graduate, or a master of arts, or a master of science, or a master of education, or a doctor of philosophy, except, perchance, to have a degree, announcement," says Mr. Houston. "There is but slight justification, if any, for taking a promising mechanic away from plying his trade and becoming more proficient in a degree, unless the degree represents advanced work in his trade." The brick mason, for example, Mr. Houston, will become more proficient by practicing his trade continuously for five years than by studying for a college degree, and it is efficiency in performance that covets vocational schools for Negroes are making the serious mistake of displacing trained journeymen by college graduates in college graduates with coveted degrees. The teacher of automobile mechanics ought to be a trained mechanic and machinist. The teacher of dressmaking ought to be skilled in The fundamental requisite of a vocational teacher should be his ability to execute, and no college degree can guarantee such ability.

PALMER INSTITUTE TURNS DOWN 65 College Courses Dropped Voluntarily by Principal and Founder. FINE ACADEMY Sedalia, N.C., Boasts of Most Modern Negro Prep School. SEDALIA, N.C.-With North Carolina schools stepping over each other, trying to get students, Palmer Memorial Institute turned down more than 63 high school students from six states in the South and a few northern high schools, seeking entrance to the college department, which was inaugurated two years ago. These students, for the most part, were attracted there because of the reputation that the school holds for cultural possibilities for Negro youth. She declares that she would rather be principal of an efficient up-to-date institute of college preparatory grade than president of a second-rate college. The university is known as "the high school with a college atmosphere." $100,000 Campaign Planned For the erection of a boys' dormitory, gymnasium, and library building, Brown will authorize in early campaign.

Scalloped Apples Pare, core, and slice tart apples, preferably of a kind that will hold their shape and cook well in a baking dish, sprinkle with sugar, dot with butter, or pour on a little melted butter. Put in another layer of sugar and heat until the dough has heaping full. Press the apples down and put in as many as possible. Cover the dish and cook the apples slowly for from 1 to 1½ hours in the oven. As the apples cook down during the first half hour, a few more may be added. If the apples are to be served remove the cover, and spread buttered bread of Samson, and women are showing their sense of refusing to go back to smelly tresses, no matter what the stylists say.

HOW MUCH SALT IS "SALT TO TASTE"? Salt improves the flavor of almost all foods. Some cooks think the addition of salt makes all food better. They even add a pinch of salt to their coffee and th'. apple sauce. "But how much shall I add?" is a question often asked. How much, for instance, for cooking potatoes, for breakfast food, etc? So often recipes say 'Salt to taste, which means nothing!' The directions "Salt to the teaspoon" describe the cook. Not the experienced, but the inexperienced has difficulty in following such advice. As a rule, there is an optimum amount of salt for each of the three green vegetables such as string beans and cabbage require about the same amount of salt and the quantity used is based on the amount of cooking water. Naturally the amount of salt to be added to 1½ teaspoons salt to each quart of water give a flavor that' is usually satisfactory. For 1 quart of potatoes cooked in 3 cups of water use 1 teaspoon salt. For 1/2 cup of rice cooked slowly in just enough cold water to cover use For meats and fish from ½ to ¾ teaspoons to each pound. For white sauce use 1/2 teaspoon salt touch to coat of milk to bacon oil For cerals such as rolled oats or cream of wheat use 1/4 teaspoon salt to 4 cups water and 1 cup uncooked For cream pie fillings use 1-8 to teaspoon salt to eat 1 to 2 teaspoon. teaspoon salt to each cup of flour. For biscuits use ½ teaspoon salt to Of course, there are some individuals who crave salt and this amount would not satisfy. The only thing for them to do is to add it at the table. If the craving is excessive, a medical examination is advised to find out the cause. crumbs over the top. Return to the oven and let the crumbs become golden brown and crisp. The apples themselves will be in whole pieces and almost whole. The crumbs will be pink in color. Scalloped apples are good served hot with the main course of dinner or supper. WATCHING THE BIG PARADE BY RALPH MATTHEWS How Many Pairs of Pants Should a Minister Have? Much adverse criticism pounded the revelation last week that Elder J. Wilson Becton, nationally known evangelist, boasts of forty-two suits of clothes and nineteen pairs of shoes. Such a reaction coming from Baltimore was to be expected. Any departure from the order of things to which a group of people have been accustomed is always looked up with disfavor. Philosophers bear out in the assertion that the masses are the most conservative group of our civilization. They think less, "e.g. given to little originality and therefore, are the hardest to accept any innovation along any line. Being brought up for generations in an environment where clergymen possessed only two pairs of pants shoes, there is little wonder that Baltimore can not reconcile themselves to the elaborate wedge. A. E. Far be it from Far to ever attempt to trace the origin of Baltimore's strange custom to its lair. Elder Becton timore's strange custom to its lair. I am certain that there is no reolikous or civil status for a Baltimore minister to own more than two pairs of pants, but still this custom through long years of practice, has been accepted by Baltimore clergy without reserve. The Classification One who takes the trouble to investigate the pants situation among dispensers of the gospel will learn to distinguish between two distinct classes. The solid black and the gray with black stripes. The former are used upon all ordinary occasions, such as funeral services, where clothing is worn the house and, from the bags in the knees, we have a sneaking suspicion that they are mustered into service as pajamas in emergencies. The latter are used to fare better in personal consideration. The gray striped trousers might well be the artistrocstrats of preacher pants, which work as their darker brothers. They are more ant to have an occasional crease, and patches are not half as numerous. This latter statement we cannot avoid, because as a respectable citizen, because the gray striped trousers are generally worn with a long, frock-tail coat that makes the portion where patches are most frequently found invisible to the naked The gray trousers, in many respects, get the best of the bargain. They have an opportunity to attend banquet and rub knees with the very best people. Some of the very best chicken, gravy and other choice vials are available, while the black must content themselves with corn beef and cabbage. Gray Trousers Snobbish The gray trousers are frequently seen on platforms whenever dignitaries are assembled and take an act of reverence. They are hospital drives and are much in evidence at fraternal conventions. Gray trousers are therefore probably justified in being a bit snobish, which is evidenced in the way they have of creeping upward in the air and joyfully shoes. This tendency may also be attributed to a sympathetic nature on the part of gray pants, who feel it unjust to cover the socks, keeping from enjoyir the outside world. Then there may be some secret pact among clergymen to buy their trousers too short or else the trousers, being of peace, are purchased the less rather than stand and fight with the rain and sleet. Christianity and Sex Appeal With all due respect to Baltimore and Elder Beeton, fail to see any harm in Elder Beeton's possessing forty-two suits, even if he has two pairs of trousers to each suit. Sartorial elegance on the part of the minister will neither promote the females nor advance the Kingdom can be separated from the delicate business of pleasing the females in the congregation, which I doubt. Missionary has been narrowed down to individualism in that a church progresses or retrogrades in exact ratio with the pastor's ability to put on the salve. Minister's sex appeal in the females backsliding or becoming converted, and since it is true that if the women come to church the men will have to come whether they want to or not, it looks like the Elder has the right idea after Then there is a far deeper, more logical reason for a pastor having an excellent wardrobe. The belief that only ragged men can wear entirely too much momentum, "Poor but honest" is a combination that has practically been accepted as inseparable, although facts prove it is much easier to be found if you are rich enough to afford it. Thus Elder Becton is offsetting this false reasoning. He is proving by example that God has: just as much use for a shirt as for a beard, but for one with no shirt at all. An even better argument can be found for his possession of nineteen pairs of shoes. It takes considerable effort to wear a straight and narrow path than it does to amble down the primrose lane. The former is rougher and your heels get run down from slipping off a pair of shoes if anything, inadequate. Then there is always the danger that the boll woevill will wreak destruction in the heavenly cotton crop and cause a shortage of bone oil, because of the pearly gates with forty-two suits in his handbag will stand a pretty zoch of wiggling through eternity until a farm relief program is out over and the cotton crop is restored.

Let the loke be ever so feeble or so rapid, yet there is an answering (Extracts) During the last four years I have known rather intimately some 2000 individuals at odds with the law, of whom about 25 per cent have been Negroes. I have come to expect certain modes of behavior from them that I do not expect from the whites, and to act accordingly. I brought no previous experience with colored people to the courtroom, and I must make it clear a. the start that any observation I may offer upon the ones I have known are based on individuals who were themselves under arrest, or who were with friends and relatives. In this condition, the important speaking of the officer, the ignorant, and the non-too-bright, for the gifted and well-to-do do not enter our portals. When Negroes of education and economic standin, cross my path they act like anyone else. Their minds and feeling, so far as I can see, are indistinguishable from those of other races. I could not detect them on a blindfolded test. White Girls the Aggressors Granted a certain amount of poverty, ignorance and overcrowding, and the color line in morals fades nothing. In fact, the standards of the completely undervigilified of both races as revealed in court. I believe (although there is not much to choose) that the Negro is somewhat superior to the white. It is more likely to be courtly brave and not to have acquired all the civics. Certainly so far as colored boys being a menace to white girls goes, I can say that in nearly four years I recall but three occasions where I observed the white girl was the aggressor. The boy was not the pursuer but the pursued. How They Fight They fight. I cannot deny it. At times they fight like wildcats and only in the lovers' quarters the colored girl does approximately. White women throughout history have had to take what medicine their men have prescribed. The colored girl does not submit to the law. I cannot help observe this democratic phenomenon with some relish. He Sees a Joke The dignity of the Negro defendant co-exists with a fine sense of comedy.

No Fight in Court If a white wrangle is brought to court it is likely to keep the spirits of the contestants hot while they are there. If they fight, cry, or argue when they are at home, they keep it up when they walk abroad. But two colored opponents who have each other seem able to discuss the knifing quickly in court, even though their hostilities as soon as they leave it. I recall the stylish Pink, who was accused of making love to two sisters, one of whom he planned to mar- (when both had been married) and the other of whom he was merely offering shelter. The family on both sides showed great restraint. And Pink was not only elegant, but so eloquent in proving his case, but so unstoppable that he was not only blameless but generous as well. Moreover, I suppose that all the debaters agreed with me. But Pink's oratory was apparently so successful in proving his case, for when asked for him next the answer was: "Pink? Oh. Pink's derd. She shot him." So that was that. I certainly never would have foreseen it. And If Pink did, bake taking it, would have made a terrible composition, there was Blanche, who was something of a rounder, and thereby hailed not before us, but before the police court. The judge, who happens to be a woman, had heard of her before, and disposed of her rather shortly with six months in the work- At this sentence, which would have sent off most white girls, cried the kid's mother. The kid's mother the judere's person with an appraising eye, and observed: "Say, You know the girls down my way, they tell you what I want, and you want you. You are a cute little trick!"

It seems on the contrary, as if the sex characteristics of the colored woman of great personalities than in the case among whites, and that they tend to get less mixed up as to which sex they belong to. If a colored woman is economic, and not for neurotic reasons. Her eyes still roll appropriately to her sex. In the courtroom the sex escapades of the colored, which are many and varied, yet fall into rather normal A "Chaser" of Heat An Ice-Cold Bottle of Coca-Cola Order an cup for your home from your drafter.

People of suitable ages consort with each other along the lines which Nature has laid out. Nature has laid out the man and vice versa. They sedum go off on emotional tangents. When a colored cochort sweeps into the room, the man is irritated by the course irregular, and doubles promiscuous. But they are not perverted. If this seem small meek of praise, I should insist on the only case of misplaced sex classification that I recalled was that of a boy who insisted upon dressing like a girl. He said that he wanted that everything be gained and nothing lost by that procedure. They Work in Kitchens Indeed, the colored woman holds an enviable position among her sex. As women go, she comes the nearest to emancipation. The time-worn lest of Rastus battling the Nazis is based, like many other half-truths, on the observations of those who know their colored but not their whites. The poor colored woman, like the poor white works for her family's living. Who but poor white women worked who but poor white men in most of our factories? If they work only in their own kitchens for no money and less thanks, their colored counterpart works in other women's kitchens, and does not ask for thanks because she is not an industrial revolution rolls between them. He Pounds but Once Moreover, the colored wife handles her own money. What her mate receives from her is freely bestowed. A friend of mine asked her colored cook why she took to herself so many husbands when they seemed to be such an expense. "The do come when you ask," she answered. "He just so constituted that I like to have them." Cleopatra or the Queen of Sheba could say no more than that. The colored man seems never to be burdened with the white Great Man complex, demanding that he snatch his woman's earnings and with the other. If he pounds, he pounds but once. Before walking out of the door with her wages in her pocket his mate will have administered a sound box to the ear of her crestfallen friend. Servility before her taskmaster! never written on the face of a colored woman. Many is the white man who on whose wages he has lived: "Get out of my sight forever. You have disgraced the family." The typical remark of the colored father in a similar situation is: "Whatever she did, she is my daughter. You have learned that his daughters deserve less consideration than his sons. Where are Better Citizens? If I seem to be indulgent to the colored race let me hasten to add that I have seen the fact that I have met so many of them of high quality in court points to what is their greatest weakness. Where are such people there? White families of like alber would have been helped elsewhere by friends and neighbors, and they and I would not have met. Where were the contenders when the fight was on? If a raised hand could have stopped it, why was it not raised? Why should such youths have to come to me? Where are their own churches, their lodges and their clubs? What are their substantial women doing? Their mothers, ministers, and their business men? Get Together; Get Busy Our court is the last resort of the white race, and of its weakest or its most stubborn members. Of the colored, it is apparently the first, and of the poor, who have had to come. Aloofness and ecstasy are great qualities. But social ethics also has its place. And I would suggest that there are times when it is more difficult to chant the statelist requiem over the corse. I stand second to none in my admiration for the magnificence of Negro art. But, with the suitable deference of the less endowed. I would suggest that there are times when a majestic Hallettiah would be the less poetic but more practical. Get Together, and Get Busy! Weakened and dying shade trees in the north shore district of Chicago have been the subject of an investigation on which four tree experts have announced their findings with special emphasis on the diseases and control for them on white oaks and elms. "Failure of white oaks to reach full development probably is due to the lack of the root system to penetrate the impervious layer of clay below the surface soil," the report says. Artificial feeding is recommended to overcome this condition. The oak seeds were found in the white oak study. One was the prevalence of golden oak scale and the other a disease technically known as oak rot. The condition of oaks on several north shore estates is said to have been traced to these two sources. The oak seeds are responsible for much damage in the northern Illinois region. Control measures include "any good dormant oil spray" based on a protection found useful after certain damage to oaks in the United States, and especially in New England. "Where the oak scale has . . . treated and controlled and the trees after treatment have very vigorous with large dark green leaves and an excellent growth of new shoots in contrast to the short terminal growth and small light green shoots in untreated trees," the survey says. Recommendations for oaks include the Bordereau spray for the anthracnose, feeding and. in dry season, watering the trees. The dying back or "blight" of the Bordereau spray angle of the work. Results of this portion of the work are to be announced in a bulletin to be published in the laboratories for distribution in the field.

Broiling is Best Method of Cooking Bacon What arouses the lazy morning appetite more than the savory smell of sizzling bacon? And what can make one hunter at a picnic? One of the pleasantest things about bacon is that it tastes just as good as it smells, pro-provided it has been properly cooked. Unfortunately, perfectly cooked bacon is rare. Too many times, it is served all curled up with edges burned and the central cupupped up part of it strip underdone. Cooks in our grandmothers' cook could get by with the excuse that bacon never curled unless it came from a pic killed in the wrong time of the moon. The modern cook has no such alibi. A confession of carelessness explains poor results. Broiling bacon is the simplest kind of cookery. Perhans it is the simplicity of it that causes many cooks to fail. Housewives who serve excellent bacon watch their sten all the way from the market to the table. Buying a good grade of bacon is of first importance. A cheap product is never satisfactory. Bacon of high quality is an economic food, even though it costs as much as good steak. Select a brand that bears the seal of inspection. Never buy bacon in a package that the grocer refuses to open. Bacon of high quality, even steak, should be creamy and granular and the lean a deep red color. If one is well equipped to cut it into thin slices of uniform thickness, it is better to cut it into thick slices. The thickness of the slices is important. It is easy to get them cut just a little too thin or a little too thick. The most desirable thickness is about 4.5 mm. Broiling should be started in a cold pan. Turning the slices often and drainin of the fat from time to time is another good practice. This method produces very crispy slices and the crust the other, but they do not prevent the bacon from lying flat and becoming even in crispsness and color. Just as soon as the bacon is done it $s^{+-}$ d-wed on one a warm platter. Bacon drippings are delicious in flavor and are just as valuable for seasoning vegetables and for many shortenings as is butter. Leftover bacon may be utilized in the making of muffins, hot French dressings for potato chips, and in combination with scrambled eggs, omelets and in cream sauces.

PANDEMONIUM REIGNS AT BAPTIST Continued from Page One Prof. R. B. Hudson, the secretary, that the Rev. Mr. Williams had been re-elected. Many members are still in the dark as to when this election was held. Many Lay Down Arms The re-election of Dr. Williams was not achieved without a struggle. The usual procedure of electing a president at one of the early opening days of the convention was "sidetracked" to be "convenient season" had arrived. Many "secret" conferences were held in order to build up the proper kind of elective leadership. At some of these conferences, the re-elections and "unduly alarmed" who have been pepping it up in the journals of the land for several months, had their ruffled feathers smoothed by appeal to their loyalty. "Let's don't break up things, now, brothers," ran the burden of the pleas. In response to these appeals, a number of the brethren agreed to open their arms and try to obtain the changes in organization and management in other, more peaceful ways. It was that they had made these changes that it was thought safe to bid the election. Election Sudden Quickly, and suddenly to most persons, the matter of electing a president was made with the Rev. R. B. Roberts of Memphis, Tenn., treasurer of the convention, in the chair. The Rev J. R. Poe made the customary motion to suspend the convention, and the motion was met with cheers. His aides from the assembled delegates who had not been fed the soothing syrup of the "secret" concessions. So significant was the action of the delegates that Dr. Williams felt necessary to tell that others be placed in nomination. This apparent invitation was seized quickly by the Rev R. P. Hawkins, formerly an assistant judge under Williams, who dismissed The Rev. Mr. Hawkins has been one of the most active persons organizing ministers in Chicago to espouse the fortunes of the Rev. J. C. Justin, a pastor in Chicago. Sometimes it has been felt that Brother Hawkins was; carrying Brother Austin along much faster than he desired to go. At any rate, the supreme moment for the Rev. Mr. Hawkins seemed to have arrived, and he arose up to sing the most uplifting in nomination. In all truth it must be written that there was great cheer from the floor, despite the fact, as some allege, that hundreds of members of Dr. Williams's church were massed in the front of the hall, in contravention of that delegations should sit by states. Bid Made for Union Some effort to bring about a peace-reunion was made after the election, by the Rev. Williams, who recounted the court's decision to him and bad a word to say regarding Dr. Austin, Dr. Williams told the delegates that Dr. Austin was not against him, but Dr. Austin replied that he did not against him. However, it did not disabuse the minds of the delegates following that he had paid registration dues. He exhibited receipts for twenty dollars paid in for registration and $100 for the foreign mission. Dr. Austin was unjustly dealt with.

NEW YORK.—A few days ago while glancing through the August issue of Photoplay Magazine, I came across an article concerning certain movie actors whose stardom was short-lived. Included among these actors was Mr. Stepin Fetchit. It is an amusing bit to the average reader, but certain Negro actors should look upon it as the handwriting on the wall. The article follows: "Certainly no one is to blame for the failure of Stepin Fetchit but the gentleman of color, himself. And here is a fine artist. I'm not kidding. "He had what all great artists have—the ability to be completely natural and utterly simple on the screen. "But naturalness and simplicity were not the gods of his private life. The boulevards rang with Stepin Fetchit stories. "His fleet of cars, his two footmen in red and green costumes, his disregard for speed and laws law. "Made Own Rules. "The boy could not conform. It seemed that a stupid director insisted upon having his actors on the set at 9 a.m., at which hour the spark of Stepin's genius did not burst into flame. If it made him to wander off the set and make personal appearances at a local theatre he did so without consulting anybody. Nor could he be made to realize that he had paid his accrual Stephen acceded, only as a Fox Released Him "Sometimes he had to wait for inspiration for days." "Fox decided to struggle along without Mr. Fetchit's services and now you can hear that tired voice and see that sloping forehead only in his Beach comedies. How long this studio can put up with Step remains to be seen." "The sensation of 'Hearts in Dixie' was.

Physician Elected; Next Meet in Atlanta. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Advanced steps both scientific and social marked the 35th annual session of the National Medical Association which came to a close Friday after an interesting and profitable week. Definite changes in the manner of electing officers, participation in the National Negro Health Week, co-operation with the Rosenwald Foundation in the erection of hospitals for Negroes throughout the country and other forward moves were taken by the association this year. To Change Constitution While the attendance was not what was expected, yet, the scientific and clinical matters were being addressed, indicating that the convention itself could well be considered the most profitable in the history of the organization. Beginning on Saturday, with a meeting of the executive board, to consider certain changes in the matter of government in the organization, each succeeding day became more interesting and more important, were a fitting climax to the general tenor of the entire meeting. One of the important considerations before the organization was a new method of government. This involves the selection by each state of a governor and these representatives from the states will constitute a board of governors which will handle over the affairs of the organization. Hospitals Planned The National Hospital Association, and the National Association of Life Insurance Medical Examiners held interesting sessions on Monday. Action paving the way for action by the Rosenberg Foundation of hospitals affected people in various parts of the country was taken by the association. The object of this action, explained by Dr. W. G. Alexander of Newark, N.J., is to build a substantial body of support. The country for the hospitals the Rosenberg Foundation contemplates spons- Unit for South Carolina First of the contemplated units is understood to be scheduled for erection this fall at Florence for $3,000,000 is expected to be raised for this work, of which $3,000,000 is to be provided by the Rosenwald Foundation and the remainder to come from similar organizations. Discussion centering about the standardization of colored hospitals showed that there are twelve hospitals outstations in the nation that are maintained an "A" grade. These are Merv Hospital, Philadelphia; Douris Hospital, Philadelphia; Provident Hospital, New Jersey; ment Hospital, Washington; Provident Hospital, Chicago; Kansas City Gen. Hospital No 2.

The medical group will co-operate with the annual Negro Business League in the National Negro Business League in sponsoring the program, held under supervision of the United States public health service in April each year. _____ Confirmed on Page 20, Column 8 pan and it was all his own fault." Actors Dilatory And this article concerning flash-in-the-pan actors reminded me of the producer and director of a revue which recently opened on Broadway, which outlined a great deal about the tardiness of certain performers. One of them said that some of the performers would rush down to get in the show, and as soon as they were given a contract would start borrowing. No one has any objection to an actress has been out of work for many weeks, or perhaps months, borrowing a few dollars to pay the landlady and buy a couple of meal tickets, because the show may last only a week or two and he or she the insider in the show may after a few weeks. But this shouldn't be their only motive, as it seems to be in certain cases. Just, Want a "Break" This sort of thing often happens with some of our so-called stars. I mean those performers who may be the world's greatest star, but Harry Potter to obtain Broadway producers they are only another Nego who can sing and dance. Perhaps, after the opening night they may be acclaimed as the world's greatest star. It is the great break every small-time performer has hopes of getting's day, and they all certainly have the best wishes of department. But such things sold out, and happen to the average performer. Top-Notchers Few Just now, the number of those who can be rated as great artists or first-rate performers scarcely reaches twenty. In this number are some who are too ignorant and do not care to go any further, having that self-satisfied feeling. The advancement of their art for their own benefit as well as that of other Negro performers and the race means nothing. The difference is that most vulgar and uncivilized manner how great they really think they are. None of this is said with any intention to cause apprehensive glances to be thrown in the direction of that intelligent group of artists and performers whose present achievements, whatever they may be, but work harder to improve their art and make a permanent place for the Negro, not only in the American theatre, but WHITE UNEARTHS WHITE UNEARTHS Continued from Page 1 crime charged against the two boys who were lynched. There is no question that they killed Claude Deeter. The circumstances, however, are not as given in the reports of the hold-up. The scene of the crime is a deserted road used according to a decreto that for petting paring and according to Captain Charles Truax of the Police Department, for 'jazz parties'. This is a very mild statement of the reputation of the spot. The road was about three miles out of the town and runs at right angles to the main road. It is known as 'Lovers Lane'; it is but little wider than a foot-path, and runs parallel to the Mississippi River. There are many spots to the left of the road towards Mayfair, and runs parked for purposes which may easily be imagined, showing the purpose for which the place is used. The Woman's Reputation "One of the officials of Marion admitted that by a general understanding the county officers do not interfere with anything that goes on at this place. This is significant as bearing upon the Marion man, the college students that she was criminally assaulted by Abe Smith. "The parents of Claude Deeer, the slain white man, indignantly denied that their son was engaged to marry Mary Ball. Nevertheless the fact that rumors were spread that a girl character had been identified assaulted chiefly the cause for the lynchings. Hardin Not Strong "There is, in my opinion, based upon conversations with colored and white people at Marion of all classes, little hope of approving them, for the lynchy if protection is left to local officials. Prosecutor Harley Hardin expressed unwillingness to cause the arrest of lynchers prior to the convening of the September grand jury. He did not impress me being a strong or an able man. He was much alarmed when I talked with him because of some anonymous threats he had received—some from whites threatening him if he proceeded. He was much alarmed by the presence of men from coloring and the threat him if he did not proceed. The N.A.A.C.P. has formally requested Attorney General Ogden and Governor Harry G. Leslie to take charge of the investigation of opinion that only by such a step will any of the lynchers be brought to trial. The N.A.A.C.P. has supplied these two officials with the names of certain of the lynchers and evidence against them which I secured in action. Mayor Acted "Some of the officials, however, have acted in the lynchings. Mayor Jack Edwards, the youthful chief executive of Marion, was out of town when he was sent to the city since his return the following day he has done everything possible to suppress lawlessness. Attorney General Ogden sent two investigators, Mr. Tall and Mr. Sroup, to Marion to visit with local officials, conducted a board of Inquiry. Discourteous Secretary "On the other hand, L. O. Chasey, secretary to Governor Leslie, a native of New York, was when appealed to over long-distance telephone by Mrs. W. T. Bailley to send troops to Marion, abruptly sending them to Bailley, Mr. Chasey, who was acting in the absence of Governor Leslie from the state, declined to send troops to New York, and Edward's; doing so only when Sheriff Campbell had asked for troops. Colored People Stood Firm "I want to express warm admiration for the high courage and sagacity of many of the colored people of Marlon during this terrible period. Dr. and Mrs. Bailley, the Rev. William Bailley, and the Rev. Robert others, associated with the local branch of the N.A.A.C.P., stood firm to be refused to intimidate and have worked most assiduously to help rescue order and to bring the people of Marlon to the eschelon of true of Mrs. Bailley. (I want here to recommend her for the Walker Medal). Messrs. Robert L. Bailley and Robert Lee Brownbur of Indianapolis soon after the lynchings there and rendered valuable assistance. Challenges North "The Marion lynchings are a challenge to every decent citizen, and especially to Negroes in their being an invasion by lynching mobs of a slave state," the Marion claim that the mob-murders were not racial in character. This seems somewhat difficult to believe in view of the fact that there were in the jail at the time of the lynchings, while two others charged with the same offense were at liberty on bail. "Also in the jail at the time of the lynchings was another man with the most brutal crimes in the history of Grant County. He had hacked off the head, arms and legs of another white man in a dispute over a woman. None of these crimes, however, was molested by the mob. Most Horrible Lynching "The lynching of Shipp and Smith were among the most horrible and brutal in the whole history of lynching. Shipp was the first brought forth from the jail. He was lynched on the first day of his imprisonment." When first pulled he on held to the rope, preventing strangulation. As the mob howled its fury at this temporary postponement of death, Shipp was lowered to the ground in a trench. He fought furiously for his life, burying his teeth in the arms of one of the lynchers. In order to make him loosen his teeth, his skull was crushed in with a crow-bar and a knife plunged into his heart. Formally he was executed instantly, thus preventing further suffering. The N.A.A.C.P., through its Indiana branches and its national office, is determined to press vigorously for full prosecution of the lynchers and punishment to the full extent of the Two on G.O.P.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, August 30, 1930 THE HOME OF THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN The "Owl Club" owned by local physicians and business men, which was the scene of a contemplated farewell party that was broken up when the wife of Dr. George Allen arrived unexpectedly, Thursday of last week Juanita's Visit Wreaks Havoc at Physicians' "Owl Club" Farewell Party Ends in Wreckage when Doctor's Wife Arrives Unexpectedly at Secluded Hillen Road Resort. (Reprinted from Last Week's City Edition) The unceremonious entry of Mrs. Juanita King Allen at the farewell party being staged by a group of business and professional men at their exclusive and secluded Hillen Road County Club where women other than their wives were the invited guests, caused a reign of havoc when her husband, Dr. George W. Allen. East Baltimore physician, was found to be one of the sponsors, last Thursday. When the late wife arrived on the scene, the young women guests scattered in all directions and many of the male visitors scurried to cover. Before Mrs. Allen left the premises, the club was partially wrecked. Gone Abroad A repast including all the vriends of the summer season prepared to tickle the palates of the assemblage was spolled when, with one yank of the tablecloth, Mrs. Allen sent the tasty and bountiful luncheon crashes of dishes, silverware and decorations were smashed by the impact. Tells of Party Dr. Allen, in a statement to the AFRO, declared that the party was a farewell luncheon for Alvan S. Stanley, who is leaving for New England this week. Professor B. C. Caldwell, for the occasion, he declared. The purpose of the party was evidently misunderstood by the persons who informed his wife of the event, he declared. Among the guests were Doctors Bernard Harris, Berkley Butler, Caldwell, and Ralph. Creston Wolgust, George Walker, Reid Stanley and Alvan Stanley. The names of the young women, some of whom are said to be from Washington, D.C., were withheld. Mrs. Allen refused to verify the names of the pajamas were found on the scene. The "Owl Club" Neighbors living in cottages a short distance away, declared that the house was known as the "Owl Club," and was visited by many prominent physicians. The house, situated in a glen surrounded by oak trees, is old. It is a wooden structure facing a beautiful expanse of ground. The place is painted yellow but time and weather conditions have left their marks. An inspection by AFRO reporters disclosed the following facts about the club: The first floor of the place consists of three large rooms containing smoking stands, pictures of nude women, and other furnishings. One room is used as a kitchen. The club rooms contain also four bedrooms, two davenportes and a couch. On the mantlepiece of one of the rooms there are two quart jugs with colored candles in them. An old army rifle adorns the wall in the sitting room, there is also a vase with flowers for an attachment for a radin. In the kitchen there is an oil stove and a coal stove, also a large open table, two ice boxes, four chairs and thirty soup bowls. The eight-foot banquet tables, one of which was broken by Mrs. Allen, were found stored in the cellar of the place. The aroma of whiskey is strong.

The past three weeks have been filled with dances, picnics, picnics, card parties galore." Not only in Ashville, but all over the country, reports come to the conclusion that delegates to conventions, the excursionists to various cities on religious expeditions which could be carried on at home and on vacation, at home and on yon, and the camp meetings, at which large sums are spent. As one district superintendent recently expressed it, there is a lot of money being spent at camp meetings and other good. He thought that most of them should be closed up. As ordinary laymen, we would add to his comment, that the money spent on these occurrences should not be fit the church, but also failing to materially help the race. If there were a spiritual gain which would compensate for the expenditure of time, money and energy, we would not be in the face of a serious industrial depression with its accompanying unemployment, and the country-wide drought, we ask—Where do they get the necessary funds to build a church don't they ever feel somewhat of a pinch afterwards? Having given the "go-by" to numerous of these occasions for these very good and sufficient reasons, we ask all seriousness, "How do they do it?" Bille Patterson of Paris, Ken and who is well known about the city as a drayman, broke his te Tuesday, August 12th, while loading gravel on his wagon at the sand pit near the beach. He was digging Patterson was digging in the pit to load, when a heavy lump of sand and rock caved in on him, breaking the leg in two places. He was given first aid and later removed to his home.

Is Col. Hubert Julian, aviator, a representative of the Abyssinian government or is he not? A sharp difference of opinion seems to be entertained by Mr. Julian and Maki E. Bayah, Commissioner of the Abyssinian government, now on official business in Washington. Colonel Julian took drastic exception to an account appearing in the AFRO-AMERICAN in which correspondents stated that the colonel was soliciting funds to carry on his work. His three of the war of Ethiopia, the Tariq emperor of Ethiopia, on the AFRO brought an apology in last week's issue and publication of his denial of the account. Contradicting Statements This week the AFRO received a telegram from Colonel Julian, now in New York, in which he said: "Your article which stated that I am soliciting funds for the Abysinian government is causing quite a bit of trouble. I requested a retraction which was printed so small that it was hardly noticed. I have sufficient credentials to prove that I am an authorized representative from Abyssinia." The following statement was released through the Associated Negro Press by Commissioner Bayan this week: "Reports appearing in newspapers concerning the Abyssinian government as given out by Herbert Julian are false and unauthorized. Likewise, the solicitations he is reported as making in the name of the Abysinian government are absolutely false and unauthorized. He is in no way representing the Abbyssinian government of any department thereof. The statement comes as the result of recent publications concerning Mr. Julian and it is with regret that such a statement is made, but Mr. Julian has misused the kindness and opportunity the Abysinian government offered him." at Public Landing, which they have had for 35 years, they do not accept any date in September for the party." That is perhaps what the white folks had hoped. Fire threatened to destroy Mr. Olvet M.E. Church, Quincy, Mo., after a fire. Quick work by the Catonsville Fire Department prevented much damage. The fire started in the roof of the church. D.C. BIRTHS, DEATHS AND MARRIAGES Take The Most Direct Line ADVERTISING IN The Afro-American Buyer Seller Because: The AFRO goes into 14,000 of the 20,000 Negro Homes in The City of Baltimore NOTHING — not even the radio can reach directly into the homes of all classes of colored people like THE AFRO-AMERICAN —This is the ex- périence of those who have adver- tised with us con- sistently. In fact — without beasting, there is no other way of advertising among Baltimore's colored population that even approaches THE AFRO- AMERICAN for ef- fectiveness at low cost. 18 46 D.C.

Society Gossip. DEAR PANSY: The drought seemingly is about over. The scorching hot days we hope have disappeared for the season to come — but what kind of weather we are experiencing, so untaintable during the day. However are we never satisfied. While many folks are away and a number are just starting, there remain a few of the social set at home on a more casual home en route from summer schools homeward. The golf links have become a hobby now, and most popular this week and out of nowhere. These delightfully cool evenings, hostesses have returned to their card tables and a number of bridge parties have been staged recently, honoring Mrs. Madeline Beeler, of Wilmington, Delaware, Mrs. Marie Payne Flagg, of New York A number of motor trips, excursions on the water, and outings are being planned for Labor Day.

Schools, business offices and every other working plant will begin their fall program, hard at work, again. But back to the social hits of the week, which have been weddings on the road, weddings. Ruby's Marriage A very quiet but pretty wedding, Pansy, took place at the Emmett Colemans, of 2036 Madison at noon on nontime when Ruby became the bride of Nelson Groomes. The priest of St. Peter Claver married them and Rufus the law, Jaw Mabel, was the matron-of-honor and the bridesmaids were Elizabeth Lee Saunders and Juana Yuntime. The bride was the beautiful town of peach chiffon, shoes to match. She carried an arm bouquet of bridal roses. The matron-of-honor was most attractively attired in yellow taffeta and slippers to Elizabeth Saunders was sweet in a gown of pink net with slippers to match, while Juana Yuntime pretty in green taffeta and slippers to match. Each of the maids carried an arm bouquet of roses. Albert Groomes, brother of the groom, was the best man, after Juana Yuntime was savior. The bride and groom left immediately afterward for Atlantic City, Asbury Park and New York. Only the immediate families wilt- Mr. and Mrs. Groomes will come right straight back here soon, making their home at the cottage, gifts, numerous and most useful, have been received. The Coleman's home for occasion, Pansy, was obtained from the house, with cut flowers and ferns. In the living room, where the wedding took place, a bank of palms served as an altar, and stood to receive the congratulations of their friends. Honeymooning Kathryn Connor, my dear, was married to Dr. Carroll St. Glair at St. Peter Claver's Parish on Winchester at 4 o'clock.

No attendants. A very enjoyable course dinner followed at the home of Kathryn's mother the 2500 block of McCul- Street. Disappearing from the room for a brief time, the girl is in a travelling outfit of gray flat crepe ensemble, with a vests hat, and shoes and pocketbook to After numerous hand shakes, and good wishes and good-byes, the happy couple started on their honeymoon to Chester, Pa., Philadelphia, Pa., Atlantic City and Cambridge, Md.

The success of the experiment in Harlem under the direction of Albon L. Holsey, secretary of the league, was responsible for the decision. While the general subject of this session of the league was "After College, What? a good part of the program was given to the discussion of the C.M.A. stores. The morning sessions were held at the Central Recreation Center. The training sessions were held in churches. Visitors Welcome!

The annual address of Dr. Moton was delivered Wednesday night at the Second Baptist Church. "The question seriously facing us," he said, "is whether you and I as American citizens can hold our own in this American life. The Negro has come into his own in literature, in education, in art, in science, in politics—he has not all his rights in politics but he has shown himself politically and intellectually in business—I mean business as measured by Anglo-Saxon standards. "There is no reason to be discouraged," he added. "If we as business men and women will live up to the standards of business, we can work out our own economic problem in this country. With honesty and integrity, with industry and fruition, with wisdom and goaliness, we can win every privilege of American citizens." Brown Spaulding.

"We must also support 'Will Our Teachers Meet the Challenge of Negro Business.' in the last analysis Negro business in this formative period through which it is developing. We are the loyalty of Negro people in the support of Negro business. "There is one fact I think we might as well face, and that is one complexes we as a people have is found in the leadership of our group so far as supporting Negro enterprises is concerned. We are actually written books about the hardships of the Negro and actually made great addresses from the platform about Negro rights who are Negro teachers and operated by Negroes. Arts Before Business Dr. Alexander in his address on "The New South and Negro Business ascribed what they had their southern background. "It is not strange that Negroes should arrive on Broadway in 'Green Pastures' and on the concert stages of the world through the science through George Carver, Charles Johnson, Dr. Just and others before Negroes solve their economic problem," he stated. In all that you have seen, the South is a traditional southern cultural pattern. "The great mistake of the South has been," he said, "that she left her economic problems to the Negroes are innocuous and do not face their economic problem, they are simply saying that Negroes are southerners because the most shiffters, the Negroes who never lived in any more of a dream, an economic dreamland, than the leadership of the South lived in from the time slavery was adopted as the norm of the economic system with the end of 1865.

STEPTEAU IS THREATENEDWITH SUSPENSION Bishop Gaines Resents Insult at Hagerstown District Conference. UPROAR ENSUES (Reprinted from Last Week's City Edition) His ambitions to reach the episcopacy by offsetting the endorsements of the Rev. Charles H. Wesley in district conferences, nearly ended in the Rev. C. H. Stepteau's being suspended from the conference when he hurled an insult at Bishop A. L. Gaines at the Hagerstown District Conference in session at Catonsville, Tuesday. Constainment rigned on the conference floor when the motion endorsing Dr. Wesley over the Rev. Stepteau brought forth the accusation from the latter that Bishop Gaines was engineering the endorsement of Dr. Wesley. "The resolution endorsing Dr. Wesley is being steam-rolled through by the powers that be, behind the presiding officer," he declared. Bishop Gaines, who was seated behind the Rev. J. W. Norris, presiding officer, leaped to his feet, as did the whole conference as the statement was made. "If you repeat that statement," declares my repeat. "or make such an accusation, I will suspend you from the conference." Ministers In Uproar Ministers who surged to the rostrum in an angry attitude directed against Rev. Steppeau, were ordered to their seats by the prelate, who said: "I protected myself in the pastorate, and I can do it now. You can speak on a question of personal privilege, but as a minister toward all, I will not allow you to reprimand, accuse, or advise me as you did in previous district conferences." The bishop was referring to a similar demonstration on the part of the Rev. Steppeau at the Baltimore District Conference, last week. The bishop then urged the men who sought to be elected as delegates to the General Conference, to be broad in their views and to be bullied by a vision of a great church instead of being actuated by personal ambition. Wife Silent When called upon to make a speech on her work, Mrs. Stepteau, president of the Women's Mite Missionary Society, refused to speak, declaring that she had been a worker in the missionary auxiliary for twenty-six years, but she was sorry she had come to the conference at all. The Rev. E. T. Addison, pastor of Grace A.M.E Church, is the entertaining pastor. Whites Protest Indiana Lynching at Meet INDIANAPOLIS.

Church, delivered the major address of the convention on the subject of the Call of God to Brotherhood." This address was the only radio address of the entire convention, and was broadcast over a nation-wide hook-up, Seven hundred Americans, ten colored ones, there. Bishop Gregg, who has returned to the U.S.A., said: "I maintain that if the Christian church had not become apologetic (especially in these later years) but had pursued a vigorous mission, Christianity as enunciated by Jesus Christ Himself and as laid down by the founders of the church, there would be far more brotherly love or Christianity in the world than there is now." Hagerstown Conference By N. B. SIMPSON GATONSVILLE, Md. — The Hagerstown District Conference closed a three-day session Friday at Grace A.M. Church, Baltimore, for the bishopric, and Dr. Daniel G.

Interracial Amity Conference Held PORTSMOUTH, N.H.-A conference for inter-racial amity was held under the auspices of the National Teaching Council of United States and Canada at the Women's City Club and the Fellowship House, here last week. The sessions, which began Thursday, addressed the issues addressed by such sneakers as Robert W. Bagnall, director of branches, N.A.A.C.P.; Dr. Albert D. Helt, Geneva, N.Y.; Archibishop Reginald Grant Barlow, Brooklyn, N.Y.; Mrs. Marv Bimball, Brooklyn, N.Y.; Mrs. Ludmila Bimball, Brooklyn, N.Y. This conference is one of the many held in various cities of the American continent, the purpose being the co-operation and harmony between the different colored bodies. By direction of Abdull' Baha this effort began in Washington, D.C., about nine years ago. It was continued, gathering force and influence during the intervening years. Two communities, Portsmouth and Green Acre, unite in this effort, thereby co-operating for the ideals of universal peace. Hearty welcome, warmth, kindness, colors and creeds to join in this vital human service. "Faith and Reason," Subject of Dr. Goodell Dr. Charles L.

CHICAGO EXPECTED 50,000 BAPTISTS CHICAGO EXPECTED 50,000 BAPTISTS Continued from Page One less, wanted to congratulate him. Not any local preachers of standing were on the program. A Townsend Convention Dr. A. M. Twonsend was not here, but it was really a "Townsend" convention and had Dr. Williams opposed Dr. Townsend's re-election he would have blown up his whole administration. The men believe that Townsend is absolutely innocent and that he is not connected in any way with the death of Auditor Pierson; they know also that there has been no jugging of accounts, and that Dr. Townsend has been given a clean bill by electors to present. "Well stay here until Christmas if it takes that long to re-elect Townsend" was the slogan. Dr. Williams had to "lay off" of Townsend in order to get by. Dr. L. G. Jordan Struck The most disgraceful incident in connection with the line-up for the overthrow of automatic rule happened on Friday when a Mr. Branham, Dr. Williams's assistant pastor and "man Friday," is alleged to have given permission to Dr. L. G. Jordan. Dr. Jordan presented a resolution to the board meeting asking that the executive board of the convention be allowed to function in vital matters instead of the Williams Committee of three that had been running the convention for several years. Dr. Jordan is the oldest and best known member of the National Baptist Convention; Branham is an unknown man who "serves" the president of the convention. Why Williams was Re-Elected Dr. Williams was re-elected because the leaders say that it would not be fair to wish the debts and troubles of his administration on a new president. "Clean up this year, and clean out next year," was the definite program of the leaders. More conferences and meetings were held at this convention by the leaders from the States than were ever held before in the history of the organization. The expense of the meeting was tremendous, and if all the big events palm out as did the grand concert, Dr. Williams and his assistant pastor will have some debts on their hands—and yet they might be beggars. The contributions were made by merchants and distinguished citizens and that the income from the concessions will cover the expense. No. Jubilee. No. Exhibits It is too bad that the Baptists had to borrow five thousand dollars to rent a place in which to hold a jubilee. If they didn't have the money to celebrate, it wouldn't have been bad business to have waited. In fact it was anything but a jubilee. There was positively no interest in the celebration. Those who attended were there to see what was going to be said about the murder of Prof. Flerson and to find out when the leaders are going to be on the right trail to find the guilty parties; they were there to see that the innocent man be not sacrificed; they were there to see that the wrong man was not put in to manage the problem. There were no exhibits except the picture of Dr. Williams in and on everything. His annual address read like a Sunday school paper. Dr. Westbrook By the way, the Reverend Mr. Westbrook, who was arrested and is on bond in connection with the murder, was programmed to the evangelist Mr. West-brook, the Williams's friend, they say. Well, he preached. Young People's Congress The Young People's Congress under the direction of the Rev. W. H. Jernagin of Washington, D.C., had a good meeting. Dr. Johnson Absent A number of the most distinguished men of the denomination were absent from the Jubilee. Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard University, was programmed but did not appear. High Spots In spite of the embarrassing situation there are some high spots. First. It was a fine thing to have selected Chicago for this meeting; the reasons are obvious. Second. The leaders are of one accord as to the future. This is the last year that the Williams will be president of the National Baptist Convention. There was enough senator against him to elect a man at this meeting, but the wise leaders advised the men to give the president two months to clean up. Then, too, he is the host and they did not want to defeat him in his own city. It is quite evident that this experience through which the denomination is passing in the Williams regime is a being in disguise. The type of leader will be a different type of leader and the next administration is going to be a very strong one. All signs point in that direction. Convention Acclaims Austin The convention went wild when the Rev. J. C. Austin was nominated to run against Dr. Williams. The Rev. J. C. Jackson, president of the New England convention, is the one man to whom the leaders are looking to head the convention. East. The next session will be held in Atlanta, Georgia. Parade a Disgrace The parade was a disrace to the team. The Field Day exercises held in the Stadium that seat one hundred attended by less than five hundred. 300 at Closing Sessions The convention closed Monday but delegates began leaving the fifth day, when they were tired of mess" so they were heard to say. There were less than three hundred at the closing sessions. The Door Keeper Dr. Williams was the doorkeeper at his pageant. It did look funny but he kept it right on. _____ You can build no tomorrow without today's foundation. The Nation's Biggest All-Negro Week Music Dr. R. R.

PROGRESS IS KEYNOTE OF N.M.A. CONVENTION Continued from Page 12 Public Health Measures Education in public health measures was the theme of a public hearing held at the Mt. Paran Church Twelfth and Missouri Streets. R. C. Ward of Fort Chester, Secretary of the dental section of association, presides. Statistics presented by Dr. W. "Only a few days ago I read of more than seventy thousand cases of bankruptcy docked in the courts that have not yet come up for disposition. Only recently we have felt once more within our own race the disasterous effects of the operation of this law; within a period of two weeks, three of our banks were closed. The reason was not dishonestly, as in some other cases, nor speculation as in other cases, but 'stagnation.' "In this case it was called 'frozen assets,' that is to say, the securities in these institutions were largely invested in commodities for which at the time there was no market; the result was a cessation of operations and an inevitable and regrettable loss, a loss not only of our banks, but also a commercial business enterprise and finally of general confidence, which is the hardest of all to replace," the president continued. The Demands of Modern Business "Out of it all we gather some practical lessons. First, that business calls for intelligence, and skill equal to that demanded by any of the so-called learned professions; that economic progress involves not only saving but a wise and discriminating investment funds. Federal Orders "We have a great many organizations among our people that are fast accumulating surpluses. This is particularly true of our fraternal organizations. There is almost as much hazard to these funds when they lie idle as when they are injudicious invested. "It becomes increasingly manifest that as a race, we are in need of more training, and the experience to employ these accumulated resources in ways both to safeguard their security and at the same time to use them for con- service in the development of the economic interests of our people. "This is a large undertaking and offers an important field of usefulness to energetic and ambitious people, their hard work and their afraid of hard work and who will not mistake the glamor of public acclaim for the more modest satisfactions of substantial achievement and persistent endeavor. No Color Line "Let me refer once more to the report of our secretary. "For two years we have been a significant enterprise in Negro business, or rather in the Negro participation in American business. In a sense, the movement is not to be qualified by the word "gro," but represents an enterprise along characteristically American lines. The methods used are such as are in operation all around us. The processes employed are typified by progressive development throughout the field of modern business. "It is the effort to employ these methods and processes to the solution of our own particular problems and in that direction has this tendency to be more explicit. It discloses to us that when we get down to real business methods the color line is but incidental. It demonstrates the merits of which we can tell the merits of which are within our own knowledge and the possibilities of which we can demonstrate for ourselves, there is a market for these goods which makes no discrimination of those individuals. Hosley "Another phase of this movement is the fact that it has been carried on without any commitments from the league, itself. Mr. Hosley has entered into commitment to the co-operation of those individuals whose interests were at stake regardless of their connection with the league and in every instance he has been successful in convincing those of the soundness of the undertaking. "He turns now to the league and asks the co-operation of its individual members on the basis of tandem plished and solicits support on the basis of achievements that are already demonstrated. Individual Weak "As things stand today the individual economic struggle: he is but the tool in the control of large units. The only way to compete successfully in this struggle is to learn the ways of collective effort and use the collective effort to individualize his effort. This means that beyond a certain limit individual ambitions must be sacrificed for the common enterprise. Individualization must not make in faith in the possibilities of the group. It means that a certain percentage of failure is inevitable and by the same law a larger percentage of success is certain to crown continuous effort." "We are in the midst of a large struggle. As a race we have been suddenly launched into the midst of a great power struggle, pressing momentum of more than a thousand years of successful achievement. To take our place in this new world, we need steadily and persistent effort. There will be no trick ways to achievement. "Hard work, persistent effort, personal sacrifice, unceasing trust, unwavering commitment, honesty, integrity, reliability, skill, and intelligence are the factors which alone, will give us an increasing participation. In the equation of oppor-tunity, we must give our commitment and the freedom of enjoyment for which our country stands." Colored Cop Dropped GAMDEN, N.
