Garvey, who is president of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, as well as being president of the Black Star Line Steamship Company, which proposed to transport all the colored people in this country back to Africa, admitted that he was not a citizen of the United States and that he had only resided in it less than five years. In that short space of time, through his exploits of various money-making undertakings, he had persuaded millions of people to invest their life savings in his project. Tells of Losses While on the stand, Col. Garvey told the court the "Yarmouth" cost $45,000 and lost $300,000 on her first trip, while the "Macio" was purchased for $65,000 and on her maiden voyage met with a loss of $75,000. The "Shadyside," the old ferryboat, was also mentioned, but the price paid for it was not stated. The mythical ship, "Phyllis Wheatley," named after the noted race poetess, was never seen. It is alleged that advertisements were carried of the passage to Liberia on this steamship. Col. Garvey, himself, denied knowing anything pertaining to the advertisements about the "Phyllis Wheatley," of which an investigation has been conducted by the Federal Government. At the time of the admission of the conditions of the Black Star Line, Garvey had been arranged on two other charges, aside from that brought against him by Orr. James D. Brooks brought two actions against Garvey; one for wages, and the other for loans. Conditions Exposed The expose of the conditions of the organization came to light, following Orr's charge of fraud against the Black Star Line. Orr asserted that he attended one of the meetings in Liberty Hall and heard Garvey tell the audience how he would double, within sixty days, the money they invested in the first steamship line, owned, operated and controlled by the race. Orr put in $105 and has not even received a dividend. Garvey vehemently denied the accusation that he would guarantee any such thing as the return of the money in two months. While on the stand, Col. Garvey was surve of manner and proved a shrewd witness when questioned about the finances of the Black Star Line and many of the other enterprises which he has fostered. Under Indictment Brooks, alleged to be under indictment for misappropriating funds of the U. N. I. A. was a former officer of that organization at $6,000 a year. He sued for $750 wages, and a verdict for that sum was granted in his favor, while on the loan of $1,000 Justice Panken, before whom all of the cases were aired, decided against him, as no proof was shown he had given the money. Brooks asserts the officers of the association which had a membership of 4,500,000 people, were permitted to draw whatever money they desired for expenses At the finish of the trial Justice Panken, in addressing his remarks to Garvey, said: "It seems to me that you have been preying on the gullibility of your own people, having kept no proper accounts of the money received for investment, being an organization of high finance in which the officers received outrageously high salaries and were permitted to have exorbitant expense accounts for pleasure jaunts throughout the country. I advise these 'dupes' who have contributed to these organizations to go into court and ask for the appointment of a receiver. You should have taken this $600,000 and built a hospital for colored people in this city instead of purchasing a few old boats. There is a form of paranola which manifests itself in believing oneself to be a great man. "From the evidence brought out," said Justice Panken when later seen in chambers, "these various movements that have been fostered by Garvey have taken millions of dollars out of the pockets of the colored people. In the Universal Negro Improvement Association he claims a membership of 4,500,000, who have been paying dues. He says nothing is left of the Black Star Line, a corporation he formed which told of wonderful shipping developments among his own people. All the officers cared about was how much salary they would receive, besides enormous expense accounts." It seems that the vast majority of the colored people in this country are always willing to follow wild cat dreamers and with their ears closed to all reason and with their eyes shut tight like ignorant children, they are ever ready to pour their hard earned money into large rat holes and blindly follow that class of loud-mouthed so-called leaders of the colored race.

Borah of Idaho, one of the most powerful Republicans in the Senate, has taken up the charges against the American Occupation of Haiti, first pressed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. In a ringing lecture delivered before an audience of 3,500 people in Carnegie Hall, New York, lately, Senator Borah declared United States marines had invaded the black republic and held it in military subjection for five years in the interest chiefly of New York bankers. Senator Borah told the story of the invasion of Haiti, of the overthrow by military force of the Haitian government and the setting up of a president, D'Artiguenave, who would be subservient to American military authorities. "I am convinced we are in there to stay unless American opinion brings us out." said Senator Borah urging all Americans to make their views heard. "Unless public opinion is aroused, directed and sustained, we will stay there." "Don't forget that the soil of those countries is the richest in the world and labor is cheap and abundant—20 cents a day is the wage. It has become dangerous for an independent people to let it become known to the world that they are in possession of vest natural resources." Speaking of the atrocities charged against United States marines, Senator Borah said: "You ask how American marines can be so cruel? That is the story of imperialism the world over and throughout all history. Do you think it is any worse than some of the things done in India and Siberia?" "Induding from the standpoint of SATURDAY, MAY 13, 1922 ident of the on the W 00,000 Ha by the Hig s of the U HON. OSCAR DE PRIEST Chiefs of the Thompson Wing of This City and County, Who Will of the New Third Ward in 1924. these people and the honor of the American people, we ought to get out of Haiti and out of every place where we have no right." Senator Borah's championing the cause of Haiti follows a two year campaign waged by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The initial expose of conditions in Haiti was made by Herbert J. Seligmann and by James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., both of whom were in Haiti at the same time. Several military and naval commissions endeavored to whitewash what had been done. But the N. A. A. C. P. continued the fight, helped Haitians who came to the United States to present their case to the American People, and finally cooperated in the formation of the Haiti-Santo Domingo Independence Society under whose auspices Senator Borah spoke in Carnegie Hall.

"HARLEM SHADOWS" By Claud McKay. Published by Harcourt, Brace & Co. Price $1.35. Postage 10c extra. Claude McKay was born in the West Indies and had attained to some distinction there before he came to the United States. He had written exquisite songs in the Jamaican dialect, songs full of a love for the simple peasant folk and a longing for their full liberty; he had helped the street car men on strike; he had received the medal of the Institute of Arts and Sciences. And then he came to New York. And though he sings of New York as a city which he hates; we, who love it, can rest content that he stays with us. Hate is next to love and far better than indifference. "Harlem Shadows" centers about New York, but to the poet's heart again and again comes the call of the Tropics. It is, Easter Sunday and he thinks: "Far from this foreign Easter damp and chilly My soul steals to a pear-shaped plot of ground, Where gleamed the lilac-tinted Easter lily Soft-scented in the air for yards around." He stops at a shop window and "Bananas ripe and green, and ginger-root, Cocoa in pods and alligator pears, And tangerines and mangoes and grapefruit—" recall the laden fruit-trees of home and the mystical blue skies. He goes into the subway, the city's "great, gaurt gut," where "the gray train rushing bears the weary wind" and to him the wind is captive, moaning for fields and seas: "Seas cooling warm where native schooners drift Through sleepy waters, while gulls wheel and sweep, Waiting for windy waves the keels to lift Lightly among the islands of the deep." The swallows fly north up from the Spanish main and he questions them. They have seen the children scampering out of school: "Do they still stop beneath the giant tree To gather locusts in their childish greed, And chuckle when they break the pods to see The golden powder clustered round the seed?" HOUSTON, TEXAS, BRANCH N. A. A. C. P. GOES OVER THE TOP WITH 1,000 MEMBERS The Houston, Texas, branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, is the first to go over the top in the Association's Spring Drive, exceeding its quota of 1,000 members, according to announcement made at the national office, 70 5 CENTS per copy e Steam- ew York the Wind at Com- mprove- BY MARY WHITE HAIRMAN OF THE RECTORS OF THE ASSOCIATION FOR CEMENT OF COL- Weary, he turns to the South as the land of waking dreams. "There by the banks of blue and silver streams Grass-sheltered crickets chirp incessant song. Gay-colored lizards loll all through the day Their tongues outstretched for careless little flies. And swarthy children in the fields at play Look upward laughing at the smiling skies." When night comes he thinks of the "dainty Spanish needle," the yellow and white flower "shadowed by the spreading mango." And in the New York dawn of groaning cars and rumbling milk carts, of dark figures shuffling sadly to work, he calls up his island of the sea. "Where the cocks are crowing, crowing, crowing, And the hens are cackling in the rose-apple tree." But America has a grip upon Claude McKay. He tells us so in a wonderful sonnet: "Although she feeds me bread of bit- terness, And sinks into my throat her tiger's tooth, Stealing my breath of life, I will confess I love this cultured hell that tests my youth." He has written two great sonnets upon lynching and two unforgettable pictures of women, Harlem Shadows and The Harlem Dancer. As he explains in his preface, America has greatly affected his poetry at times, but it has not yet taught him to use free verse. Max Eastman, himself a poet as well as a rare critic of poetry, has written an Introduction to Mr. McKay's poems. I quote the end: "The quality is here in all these songs, the pure, arrow-like transference of his emotion into our heart, without any but the inevitable words, the quality that reminds us of Burns and Villon and Catullus, and all the poets that we call lyric because we love them so much. It is the quality that Keats sought to cherish when he said that "Poetry should be great and unobtrusive, a thing which enters into the soul, and does not startle or amaze with itself but with its subject." * * * It is the poetry that looks upon a thing and sings. It is possessed by a feeling and sings. May it find its way a little quietly and softly, in this age of roar and advertising, to the hearts that love a true and unaffected song." John M. Adkins, Secretary of the Houston branch, in a letter to the national office, says: "I have passed through four mobs, lost everything I made in 27 years through mob violence. . . . Push Dyer Bill in Senate—push hard. You have our prayers. We never meet without asking God to guide and bless you."

Sec. of State of Mass. to Send Resolutions to Judiciary Committee and to Vice-Pres. Coolidge MASS. SENATE URges U. S. SENATE TO PASS MEASURE (Boston Post, May 9, 1922) The State Senate, following the example set by the House of Representatives on Monday, yesterday by an overwhelming vote passed a resolution urging the United States Senate to pass a bill making mob murder and lynching a crime against the federal government. The resolution calls for the speedy enactment of the Dyer bill now before Congress and reads in part as follows: "The General Court of Massachusetts respectfully urges upon the United States Senate and its judiciary committee the speedy enactment of the Dyer anti-lynching bill, so-called, already passed by the House of Representatives by an overwhelming majority, and designed to end lynching by making mob murder a crime against the federal government." The National Equal Rights League and others petitioned@the State Legislature to urge the United States Senate to pass this bill. On Monday the House of Representatives of this State passed the resolutions and yesterday the State Senate also passed them. (Boston Herald, May 8, 1922) There was an echo of Wednesday's debate on lynching in the Senate yesterday, when Senator Wadleigh of Merrimack, sought to overturn the favorable majority given the resolutions in favor of the Dyer Anti-lynching bill. The senator read a section of the Dyer bill, now before the United States Senate, which imposes a fine of $10,000 on a county, city or town where a lynching takes place, and said that under such a provision innocent people would suffer for the acts of a few. The Senate, however, refused to reconsider its action. The Boston branch of the League is now getting signatures to a petition to be presented to Senator Lodge, asking him as Republican leader to call a party caucus and through it to urge that the Dyer bill be reported out of committee and acted upon before Congress adjourns. NEGRO,ILLITERACY, NORTH AND SOUTH Reduced Twenty Per Cent During Last Decade. Washington, D. C.*(Special to the Broad Ax)—The public schools of the South are making progress in eliminating illiteracy among the Negroes. The 1920 census showed about 300,000 less colored illiterates than that of 1910. In 1910 the percentage of colored illiteracy in the South was 33.3. In 1920 it had dropped to 26.3. This leaves 1,753,000 Negroes who cannot write. Georgia has the greatest number of these illiterates—261,115, a percentage of 29.1. Louisiana with 206,730, had the highest percentage of illiteracy, CHICAGO, ILL. SATURDAY, MAY 13, 1922 CHARLES E. "BETTER" STUMP, THE REGULAR TRAMPING OR TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, HAD A WONDERFUL TIME WHILE ATTENDING THE RACE CONGRESS AT WASHINGTON, D. C. Washington, D. C.—The 7th annual session of the National Race Congress of America has passed into history, and the people are much better off for having attended it, and I have been raised a few pegs higher in civilization, and have been shouting ever since I have been here. This has been really a National meeting and almost international, for I have met men from Africa, one man from India, and then they were here from all parts of the country, and it seems to me that the people will never get through praising Dr. W. H. Jernagin, the president for the heroic work he is doing here for his own race, saying nothing about mine. It is not a boy's job to meet this race discrimination, race prejudice race hatred, race antipathy or anything else that is connected with race You must just keep your thinking cap on all the time and keep your thinktank in operation to keep from running over at the mouth. Believing that something should be done to help in this mighty uplift problem, Dr. W. H. Jernagin seven years ago called together the leaders—men who were the thinkers of the race, and told them why they should have a great organization looking forward to the protection of the race, and believe me, they agreed with him, hence the organization was formed, and Dr. Jernagin was the first president, and Bishop I. N. Ross, vice-president. Wonderful has been the progress made from time to time, and the scope of work has been made wider and wider, until it is extending into almost every phase of racial life. Before telling you all I have in mind to say this week, I want to pay my respects to Dr. W. H. Jernagin, president of the Congress and pastor of the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church. He is a native of Mississippi, and served his early life down there in the swamps, preparing for bigger things. He got a vision down there. He had seen men of his race go to the top and then brought down at the mouth of a shotgun. He had seen James Hill, secretary of state; Blanche K. Bruce, and Hiram Revels, United States Senators—well he had just seen. He saw them out, and he believes that Negroes are going back into Congress and other places where man is required. From Mississippi, with a large family, wife and four girls, he found his way to Oklahoma where he was called to take charge of a large church, and at the time some to get some more vision, some more information and inspiration, and with all this in him, he was one day notified that he had been called to the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church—a little church and small membership, but bless your soul, honey, it is now one of the largest churches in the city with a fine building, large membership and an aggressive pastor. This young man took hold of the opportunity before him, and you may bet your head to a ginger cake that he took hold of it in many ways, especially in the bringing together the Race Congress, for this is doing some real constructive work. But now, I want to dive right into one of the things that it has done, because I think you should have the direct information. One day, when Dr. Jernagin was busy getting out a sermon for Sunday a man came to him and told him that he saw a woman crying, because one son had been lynched between Warrenton and Norlina, North Carolina, and the other who had escaped to Canada had been arrested, and would be brought back to this country and lynched also. Dr. Jernagin got up, laid his gospel aside and rushed to the human cry, believing that he would be doing the will of his Lord and Master. As soon as he got the particulars, he got in telegraphic communication with lawyers over yonder in Canada, told him or them to take charge of the case, and the National Race Congress would be responsible. The fee was telegraphed to them, and the young man was turned loose to be re- 38.5. Other states which still have great masses of colored illiterates are Alabama, with 210,690, or 31.3 per cent, Mississippi, with 205,813, or 29.3 per cent, and South Carolina with 131,422, or 29.3 per cent. Every Southern State showed a marked reduction in illiteracy between 1910 and 1920. Every Northern State also showed a decrease. This would indicate that the Negroes migrating were mostly able to read, otherwise they would have increased illiteracy in the North. The percentage of illiteracy among Northern Negroes is much less than among Southern Negroes, being 26 per cent in the South and eight per cent in the North. Every Southern State also shows a arrested. Additional counsel was employed and the Race Congress again advanced the money and bills were all paid. What money they did not have they borrowed. This is the organization that has had charge of the case, although it was said that there was another one who had charge and the Race Congress was just a figurehead. I had heard all this, but when W. M. Bullock, the father was introduced and told the story, my eyes were thrown wide open. He said: "I was down home, when I received a telegram from Dr. Jernagin to come to Washington at once. I did not know him, but I responded to the summon, and came right on here. I then started for my home or the place where my son was. I got there among strangers, but was made to feel at home among the people, because they told me that with a great organization like that behind me, it was a good recommendation for both me and my son, and they were glad to have both of us there. "The only organization that has assisted me in this work, is the National Race Congress, and Dr. Jernagin feels to me like a father and this organization like a mother and I shall ever love, honor and respect this great organization, and will remain with it as long as I live. I thank all of you for what you have done for me." This was the father of Matthew Bullock, who is now somewhere and the K. K. K. declare that they are going to have him back here by June. Let us all watch, and I will bet my hat to a baseball bat that it will not take place. The National Race Congress was there with them. I heard Congressman Martin C. Ansorge, of the 21st District of New York. He is the man who appointed a young man of my race to the Naval Academy. He spoke right out in church, and while he had been criticised by the press, or some of the papers he had no apology to make. He had four appointments, and my people represented one-fourth of his district, he looked up the candidate appointed him, and it was not a political pledge. He is a great man. I will have to tell you other things. Believe me, honey, I have been doing some riding, for I went way down to Montgomery, Ala., spent two nights in the city and returned to Washington, but I will be away from here when I write to you the next time. I have seen some of the representative men here, and found Hon. P. W. Howard hammering away, and representing us up here as he did down in Mississippi. He is a great man and is doing great things. We are all going to now turn our attention to the other big things that are to be pulled off within the next weeks. The National Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress will be in New Orleans, La., June 14, and I want to go there, and there I want to see some of them big Baptists. August 16 to 20 will be the meeting of the Allen Christian Endeavor Convention in Chicago. Secretary S. S. Morris of Norfolk is as busy as can be getting things in line for this big meeting. Every young active worker in the African Methodist Episcopal Church, who can, will be there and they are going to have one more big time. The National Negro Business League will meet about the same time in Norfolk, Va., and this will be the business men, while the Christian people will be looking after their part the business men will be at work. Next will follow the National Baptist convention in Los Angeles, Calif., and I expect to be there, and I have been invited by Bishop W. A. Fountain to attend the California conference, and I think I will do this also. I am going to see some country before I die unless I am called home soon. I will have before me all the particulars at an early date. I will have to bring this letter to a stop. I shall be delighted to hear from you another time. God bless you. CHARLES E.

KU KLUX KLAN GYVS NESGO FAMILIES $100 West Palm Beach Fla—An envelope marked "sent by the Ku Klux Klan" and containing $100 was received by the relief committee to help take care of emergency cases among Negro families, now more account of a disastrous fire here Sunday night. As a result of the fire, 35 Negro families are homeless and the loss is estimated at $150,000. Besides the amount sent by the Ku Klux Klan the city appropriated $200, and many voluntary contributions were made. It is denied that the fire was of its cendariy origin. But a contributing cause of the enormity of the fire was the lack of a system capable of meeting emergencies. Steps have already been taken by interested officials to lay before the city fathers a demand for the establishment of a high pressure water system. URBAN LEAGUE CAMPAIGN This week marks the culmination of a very successful drive. People from all walks of life have seen the usefulness and resourcefulness of the League demonstrated before them in Chicago and the result has been gratifying in wider knowledge of the work done, and consequently in opportunities for larger service by the League as well as in the financial support gained. The campaign comes to an end Saturday, May 13, and in next week's paper the final results will be announced. It is extremely important that the campaign workers turn in their reports promptly, in order that the results may be known. COL. FRANKLIN A. DENISON Assistant Attorney General of Illinois, Former Commander of the Eighth Regiment, Illinois National Guard, Who Gallantly Fought With His Regiment on the Bloody Battlefields of France and Who Will Always Be Held in the Highest Esteem By His Fellow Countrymen. IF A PREACHER STEALS, WHEREFORE CHARITY? upon the whangdoodles who moan, groan, grunt and sweat themselves By Dr. M. A. Majors We are taught to regard with decency the principles upon which the ten commandments rest. The minister of the sacred gospel has a duty to perform in setting forth to sinners the Missions that are to come to those who are faithful, and hearten unto the preached word, and endeavor to live honest, noble and good lives. Charity is a wonderful gift, attainment, or quality, and it is ever grand for men and women to be slow to acuse, and never abuse any one, yet there are little souls who aspire to become ministers of the gospel, a position of affluence, trust power, and the most awful temptations that ever cursed the sons of men. A little pigmy of a man should never aspire to the sacred dignity of the cloth. It takes a real man blessed with every lovely grace, fortified with more than some kind of a religion to help him to stay in the path. Where silks rattle, where money jingles where authority governs, while yet the majority of the race is fearful (through ignorance) of the man of God, it ought to be a crime and punished by law for unfit creatures, disgusting in their ignorance to assume the high obligations the minister owes to the world. We have heard of a number of churches that are kept in debt in order that the preacher and his ring of conscienceless fiends may have a chance to get up and keep up a rally, never accounting for the money raised, nor how it is disbursed. We have never believed much in a hell of brimstone and fire, but if there is one greater sin than another, it must be the sin a preacher commits when he by crookedness, and infamy misapplies church funds. We will yet contend that ignorance is the greatest sin, and the shouting pretense of holiness the most wicked blasphemy. It is not a sign of culture to be all the time parading one's professed goodness, telling people how honest you are, and it is poor taste to steal and inappropriate moneys that have been entrusted to you, on account of the important position of a minister of the sacred gospel. It is awful to hear some ministers spoken of as being overbold with women and girls, and when they do not measure up on the moral code, then adding to the wreck and ruin of homes this other qualification of stealing all of the funds of the church, what in heaven's name are we to do? The unfit half-baked man who reaches too high for his occupation, out of the range of his brain, his inability, to adapt himself to noble things of life, dishonest, and discordant, often because he is ignorant is an object of pity to say the least. When the worthy prelates read of asperities, and note aspersions cast upon the whangdoodles who moan, groan, grunt and sweat themselves into foam to make some soft brained idiot shout, they need not feel ag- grieved at honest criticism hurled at the unworthy. PHILADELPHIA ARMSTRONG ASSOCIATION HOLDS AN- NUAL MEETING — RECORDS HELPFUL WORK FOR THE RACE. The Philadelphia Armstrong Association, the product of unselfish service and devotion to the interest of better race relations by John T. Emlen, a Philadelphia Quaker, held its annual meeting last week in the New Central Drawing Room of Philadelphia in the presence of a large audience of enthusiastic white and colored supporters. The Armstrong Association is affiliated with the National Urban League and emphasizes in its activities the league's slogan: "Not Alms But Opportunity" for colored people. The Home and School Visitors of the Association, Miss Elizabeth Jones of the Logan School, and Mrs. M. J. Turner of the Reynolds School, reported on their efforts to help those children who are not truants, delinquents or physically handicapped, yet who fail to measure up to the prescribed standards of behavior and proficiency. Cases of illness in which children were not receiving proper medical attention were referred to district nurses; "Little Mothers Leagues" were formed to instruct girls of ten years and up in the care of younger children and mothers were advised in the proper method of rearing children and aiding them to better scholarship. Mrs. E. M. Carter Thompson, the Employment Secretary, reported on her work of providing a medium of co-operation between social agencies and compiling information on all phases of Negro life for the benefit of individuals and groups interested in Negro welfare in the community. Through this organization's connection with the National Urban League other cities have been benefited by means of exchange of information about employment matters and about cases of persons needing social service. Mrs. A. D. Crawford, assigned to the Durham School as Director of recreational features, directed the children of the school in a demonstration of calisthenics and other physical training. A chorus of these children sang very effectively the "National Negro Anthem," by J. Rosamond Johnson. A. L. Manly, the Industrial Secretary, referred to his accomplishments through developing a clearing house for the Negro industrial workers and employer of labor. Openings for Negro workers, skilled and unskilled, have been found during the year, many of them in lines heretofore denied to members of the race. Investi- --- COL.

BROWN Last Sunday 17,000 fans gathered at Schorlown Park at 39th and Wentworth avenue, to witness the second game between Rube Foster's American Giants and the Kansas City Monarchs. At an early hour it was plain to see the park would be filled far beyond its seating capacity, and it proved to be the largest crowd of fans in the history of this park. Even the police proved powerless to keep the crowd from interfering with the game by crossing over the foul lines. Rube secured extra police but to no avail.

Contracts were secured for colored contractors and assistance was given in the making of estimates for work to be done by Negro mechanics. He brought facts to prove that the Negro had made good in the industries of Philadelphia during and since the war. J. N. Paul Brock, Principal of the Indiana Avenue School, Atlantic City, N. J., as chairman of the Scholarship Committee, reported on the successful work of the holders of scholarships in the colleges and other institutions in Philadelphia—such scholarships being awarded by the Armstrong Association to worthy Negro students. Sherman T. Kingsley, Executive Secretary of the Welfare Federation which raises funds for 125 welfare movements in Philadelphia, spoke on the economies worked out both in raising and spending these funds by these many organizations—among them the Armstrong Association. The audience seemed happy to learnt that no discrimination was made by this Federation in carrying out its program. Mr. Kingsley had before coming to Philadelphia held the position of Director of the Welfare Federation of Cleveland which in that city had sustained the same record in its work for the various racial groups.

The managements hope, with the help of their friends, to wipe out the mortgage of $1,500.00 this year.

COMMISSION ON INTER- RACIAL COOPERATION Department of Publicity Box 509, Nashville, Tennessee AMERICA DISGRACED BY LYNCHING HABIT Hot Springs, Ark.—(Special to The Broad Ax.)—The official weight of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, numbering two and a quarter million members, was thrown into the balance against lynching by the Quadrennial Address of the College of Bishops to the General Conference now in session here. Having commented on the Negro's "commendable zeal" in the effort for education and on the remarkable progress made by the race since it emerged from slavery, the bishops continue: "We urge our people everywhere to do all they can for the uplifting of the Negroes in preparation for a safe and helpful citizenship. This implies that they shall have complete justice where their lawful rights are concerned. We especially urge that everything possible be done to prevent lynchings, which are no less a disgrace to those who engage in them than they are an outrage upon the helpless victims. This crime of crimes, which is not only a complete subversion of law but a stroke at the very life of law itself, has discredited our nation in the eyes of other civilized nations and brought undying obloquy upon many of the States of the Union. It is hoped that the States will continue to legislate against this shameful crime and that the public conscience will be speedily so aroused that it will be utterly abolished." TO SPEAK TO GRADUATES Charles Satcheli Morris, Jr., the brilliant young university scholar and orator, has accepted an invitation to deliver the commencement address to the graduates of the Frederick Douglas High School at Columbia, Mo., on May 19th. Young Morris will speak on May 15th at the First Baptist Church of Gary, Ind., at which time a grand musical entertainment will be given. GOES TO MICHIGAN William H.

Figure in Weed Figures in wood have various sources. These may be grouped in those due to structure, those caused by color variation or pigmentation, and to combination of the two, says the American Forestry Magazine. These again may be classified as normal and abnormal or pathologic. By normal is meant the natural condition of the wood of a sound tree. In the abnormal or pathologic are to be found the peculiar distortions and colorations resulting from disease, the attacks of insects and activities of various agencies not a part of the regular life processes of the trees. On the Farm: Once the farmer swathed his wheat with the cradle and raked and bound it by hand. Then the horse-drawn reaper appeared, then the McCormick binder, and finally the great mechanical tractors of the present, each of which haul two binders. Once, also, the antiquated fall "resounded from morning to night" on the best of the farms. Then horses were used to tread on the straw, and then came the treadmill thresher, the last of which went out some fifteen years ago. Today tractor thresher do the work. Mother Got the Letter.
