Death of Rt. Rev. Bishop Samuel Fallows. For Many Years He Was One of The Most Distinguished and Prominent Personages In The United States, and He Accomplished More, In Pushing Humanity Forward In Civilization and Education, Than Any Other Single Individual In The World. BISHOP FALLOWS SERVED AS CHAIRMAN OF THE ILLINOIS STATE COMMISSION, WHICH BROUGHT ABOUT THE CELEBRATION OF THE FIFTY YEARS OF FREEDOM ON THE PART OF THE COLORED PEOPLE, IN THIS STATE IN 1915. HE WAS ONE OF THE BEST AND WARMEST FRIENDS OF THE COLORED RACE, IN THE UNITED STATES. Bishop Samuel Fallows, who was one of the greatest friends of the colored race in this country or in any other country, very peacefully closed his eyes in death early Monday morning at his home, 1618 West Adams street. He was almost 87 years old at the time of his death and he had a long and most remarkably brilliant career during his long useful journey through life. Bishop Fallows was one of the organizers of the American Unity League which recently was established to combat the activities of the Ku Klux Klan. Only a few weeks ago he was compelled to resign from the organization, because of his slowly ebbing strength. Born in England Bishop Fallows was born in Pendleton, Lancashire, England; December 13, 1835, and exe to America in 1848 with his parents, Thomas and Anna Ashworth Fallows, who settled in Wisconsin. He received a degree from the University of Wisconsin in 1859 and became that same year vice-president of Galesburg (Wis.) University, a post which he held until the outbreak of the Civil war, when he was commissioned chaplain of the Thirty-second Wisconsin Infantry. In April, 1861, Just when the opening of the war was beginning to be heard, he had married Miss Lucy Bithia Huntington of Marshall, Wis. In June, 1863, the chaplain resigned his commission. A year later, May 30, 1864, he became lieutenant-colonel of the Fortieth Wisconsin Infantry, and in January, 1865, he was commissioned colonel of the Forty-ninth. In October, 1865, Sol. Fallows was made a brigadier general of volunteers "for meritorious services." The general had entered the reformed Episcopalian ministry upon his graduation from college in 1859. After the war, he resumed his ministry, and, in 1875, became rector of St. Paul's Church here in Chicago. He received his bishopric in 1876. THE BROAD AX public instruction, 1871-4; president of Illinois Wesleyan University, 1874-5, and chairman of the general educational commission for the World's Columbia Exposition in 1893. He Won Many High Honors with His Pen As a writer, Dr. Fallows' claims to recognition are so deeply rooted that critics assure him permanent honor in American letters for his contributions to critical and encyclopedic literature. In the preparation of one volume alone, Webster's Encyclopedic dictionary, published in 1891, Dr. Fallows had to examine critically every word in the English language in at least two other dictionaries—all this as a part of his day, not detracting in the slightest from his activities in pulpit and forum. Bishop Fallows was a trustee of the United Societies of Christian Endeavor, editor in chief of the human interest library, chairman of the Grant memorial committee, president of the Chicago School for Home Nursing and president of the Society of the Army of Tennessee. For twenty-one years he was president of the board of managess of the Illinois State Reformatory at Pontiac. In 1893, at the world's fair, Dr. Fallows served as one of a council of seven at the head of the world's congress of education. In 1907 he was made chancellor of the university association. In the year following he succeeded Archbishop Ireland as chapel in chief of the Grand Army. From 1913 to 1911 he was department commander of the Illinois G. A.

WALKER GAVE A THEATER PARTY AND AN ELABORATE TEN - COURSE DINNER PARTY IN HONOR OF MRS. JOSEPHINE DAVIS WALLACE, OF SALISBURY, e. C. her warm friends, both ladies and gentlemen in honor of the event. The house was beautifully decorated for the occasion and the great profusion of rare and beautiful flowers, which were presented to her, by some of her many friends and admirers, were scattered throughout the house and greatly assisted to add to its attractiveness. Soft music also played its part throughout the evening, and it was hard or difficult for the guests to refrain from feeling like dancing. lovely presents. On Sunday afternoon, she gave an elaborate ten-course dinner in honor of Mrs. Josephine Wallace. The invited guests were: Mrs. Josephine Wallace, Mr. and Mrs. Earl B. Dickerson, Mrs. Frances Manns, of Denver, Colo, Mrs. N. E. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Speedy, Dr. Julius Green, Dr. Chestnut, Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Smith, Mrs. A. Graham, Mrs. Buelah Watkins, Mrs. M. Burrige, Mrs. F. Bowman, Mr. W. J. Wheaton, of San Francisco, Calif. Mrs. J. H. Williams, Mrs. M. E. Clemons, Mrs. Evelyn Laney, of New York City, Mrs. Eva Conley, California; Mrs. William Bottoms, Dr. Ramsey, Mr. Norman Allison, Mr. Ernest Jones and Mr. Arthur Campbell. The elegant repast was greatly en- --- joyed by all of the guests and Miss Walker could not be excelled as an ideal and up-to-date hostess. In passing, it can be stated with much pleasure that Dr. and Mrs. Wallace are shining examples of what two people can accomplish or do when they unite their hearts and hands. Less than six yearsa go, Mrs. Wallace, who was born, raised and educated in Washington, D. C., and Dr. Wallace were happily united in marriage and shortly after that delightful event, they settled down in Salisbury, N. C. By working hard and saving his money, by the great assistance of Mrs. Wallace, in 1920 they began the construction of their bungalow, which is strictly modern and up-to-date in every way. It stands on a lot fifty by two hundred feet, cost more than ten thousand dollars, and it is one of the best and finest homes in Salisbury, barring none. Mrs. Wallace, who at one time resided in this city, drives her own car and enjoys life to the fullest extent. She possesses great taste, being very artistic she creates and makes all of her gowns and hats as she is a first-class French milliner cad modeste. Dr. and Mrs. Wallace are held in the highest esteem by the best and the leading white and colored people in Salisbury and in other sections of the "Tar Heel" State. die and the last day before starting for his old home in this city he turned to his constant and devoted daughter and sailed. "My life work has been done in Chicago—no matter what happens, my girl we must get back home—we must get back to Chicago." Came Home to Die The Bishop's last wish was granted. Miss Fallows brought him home to die in his garden of love and friendship. To the Bishops, General Officers, Presiding Elders, Pastors, Members and Friends of the A. M. E.

By request of the Executive Board in Session at Wilberforce, I was asked to hire an architect and prepare plans for rebuilding, and to have general charge of the processes of reconstruction. Everything was ready by the latter part of April, at which time, the Executive Board met again, approved the plans, and voted the contract to D. W. McGrath & Sons of Columbus, Ohio, for reconstruction, at a primary cost of $271,600.00. The changes in extras in the building will run the cost to $300,000.00. It is to be a fireproof building, built of brick, stone, concrete, steel and iron, including the cellar and roof. The extreme length is 213½ feet, extreme width 165½ feet, height 5 stories. The building contains offices for the University executives, 26 class rooms for college students, including commodious Music and Science Departments, dining hall, seating capacity for 1,000, auditorium, seating capacity 2,500, dormitory rooms for 450 girls. Strictly modern and sanitary. It will be the finest, most expensive, and commodious college building, built by or for Negroes in the world. The building is to be finished by the first day of next June. In it, we expect to hold our next Commencement. To finance this great enterprise is the biggest burden, all things considered, that has fallen to our race. We have now been building daily for three months, at a cost of $20,000.00 per month, all labor and material to this time paid for. The building is now above first story and pressing hard in the second floor. Aside from Miss Alice Fallows the other members of his family are Major Charles S. Fallows, Mrs. William Mayer and Mr. Edward Fallows. Funeral services were held over his remains yesterday morning at his church, St. Paul's Church, and his body was transported to Headly, Mass, where it will be laid to rest beside his late wife.

Church and force University. trict, and we are neither daunted nor tired. We need the aid of the whole connection and need it immediately. The Trustees of Wilberforce University cover the whole Church, and therefore the whole connection constitutes the controlling body. Control and responsibility are correlatives both morally and economically, and the exercise of the one predicates the exercise of the other. The assumption and exercise of control, while neglecting the responsibility to support, is to be scorned by every manly man. Control without responsibility cancels the right of control. By inexorable law, the whole church must help rebuild Wilberforce. Will you do it? Will you repudiate a duty? We, therefore, beg all Bishops, General Officers, Ministers, and Laymen to send in their contributions at once, so that the work on new Shorter Hall may not stop nor languish. We beg that you not wait, nor delay in making your personal sacrifice in helping us to prosecute this work to completion. The furnishings of this building require $100,000.00 in addition to the cost of the building. We are, therefore, asking the church to roll up a collection of a half million dollars for the placing of dear old Wilberforce at the head of the column, in the Educational March of the Negro race. We believe that all lovers of Negro education regardless of creed or denomination, will help us in this enterprise. Hence, we are begging and expecting immediate response. SEND US FIVE DOLLARS, TEN DOLLARS, TWENTY DOLLARS, FIFTY DOLLARS, ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS, FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS, ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS, or such amount as you have ability to contribute. Most respectfully your servant, J. H. JONES (Bishop). Chairman Trustee Board, Wilberforce University, Wilberforce, O.

SCORES OF MEN AND WOMEN WITH GUNS AND CLUBS BREAK UP INITIATION CEREMONIES Retreat Armed with shotguns, clubs and brooms, men and women, residents of Duquesne Heights, late Sunday night routed about 15 members of the Ku Klux Klan who were going through the ceremonies of the Klan in initiating new members in Olympia Park, Duquesne Heights. Four automobiles, containing members of the klan, drove to the park shortly after 11 p. m., and after donning their robes, erected a cross and ignited it. As the cross burned the klan formed a circle around the cross and started their ceremonies of initiation. Residents seeing the reflection in the sky of the burning cross rushed to the park. iWithin five minutes scores of men and women some scantily dressed and armed with guns, clubs and brooms, were hurrying in the direction of the park. The klan, discovering that trouble was imminent, removed their robes and jumping into waiting automobiles, sped away. Enraged, the men and women tore down the cross and destroyed it. When departing the klan left a packet of 100 newspapers printed in Georgia purporting to show the strength and work the klan was performing. The papers were burned by several men. Reiled Many Times Last Wednesday night, seven members of the klan visited Diqueuse Heights and erecting a cross, burned it in Bailey's field, Grandview ave. Residents dispersed the klan before they could perform their ceremonies. [Image of a man with a dark headband and glasses, looking slightly to the side.] M. H. HON. FRANK S.

During the past two months, five visits have been made by members of the klan and on each occasion, with the exception of last night, the klan was dispersed without performing their ceremonies. brought up for debate and vote within the next few weeks. In a letter to the National Office written at Washington, Mr. Johnson states that extensive and intensive work will need to be done during the next few weeks that the bill may be voted on and passed. Pressure, such as has never been used before, must be used. This action of the Steering Committee is the last step before de The vigilance committee, it was said Saturday night, will call on Director of Public Safety George W. McCandless in an effort to have police take a hand in future ceremonies of the klan. The above senes occured in Pittsburgh, Pa. recently. DYER BILL PLACED ON SENATE CALENDAR Now Certain of Passage at this Session The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill was definitely placed on the Senate Calendar for debate and vote at the present session of Congress, this action being taken by the Senate Steering Committee on Wednesday, according to announcement made by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. When it was learned that the Bonus Bill would be passed so soon after being taken up in the Senate, James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P, was recalled from his vacation and went immediately to Washington. There he worked hard, although suffering from an attack of lagripe. He held numerous conferences with Republican leaders in the Senate, including Senators Curtis, of Kansas; Willis, of Ohio; McCormick, of Illinois; Calder, of New York; Shortridge, of California, and several others. As a result of the work done, and particularly because of the extensive pressure which had been to bear on individual Senators, the Dyer Bill was definitely placed on the calendar, which means that it will be 1910 of the County Court That Cook and His Legions of Friends Will usted to His Present Position at HON, ROBERT M. SWEITZER brought up for debate and vote within the next few weeks. In a letter to the National Office written at Washington, Mr. Johnson states that extensive and intensive work will need to be done during the next few weeks that the bill may be voted on and passed. Pressure, such as has never been used before, must be used. This action of the Steering Committee is the last step before debate and a vote and but one more step, that of actual passage, remains between the present time and the signing of the bill by President Harding which will make it a law. Telegraph, write, petition your Senators. Do everything you can in every possible way to show the Senate that the bill must be passed. KLANSMEN PARADE THROUGH BUSINESS DISTRICT OF MUNCIE Muncie, Ind.—Three hundred and eighty-six white-robed and white hooded members of the local Ku Klux Klan rode and marched through the principal business streets of Muncie last Monday night without being molested by the police although John C. Quick, mayor, several weeks ago had indicated his opposition to such a parade. One member of the Klan, W. A. Cahill, rode unmasked at the head of the parade, and was followed by thirteen other robed figures on horseback. The othes were atoot. Word had been passed around that the parade was to take place and fully 5,000 persons lined the sidewalks along the route of the march. At points along the way the marchers were cheered, and in other places they were made the butts of jeering or jocular remarks. The parade was organized near McCuloch park, in the northwestern part of town, about a mile and a half from the business district. The marchers said nothing and kept their eyes straight ahead. They disbanded in the southern part of town and most of them were whisked away in waiting automobiles. The Klan is said to have about 3,000 members here, among them certain candidates for public office in the fall's election and a number of president county and city officers. Clarence Benadum, prosecuting attorney, who was said to be a member of the Klan recently denied that he is a member. The only one who has admitted openly his connection with the organization here is Cabill, the organizer, who is a comparative stranger in the community. MRS. NOAH D. THOMPSON OF LOS ANGELES, CALIF., RE- GRIVES HIGH HONORS Two noteworthy events recently happened to one of our well known citizens to which the ever watchful Eagle is proud to call attention. We refer to the recent election of Mrs. Eloise Bibb-Thompson as a member of the Board of Directors of the Los Angeles Drama League, a branch of the Drama League of America and that on the 29th inst., editorial mention was made by one of our big daily papers of the birthday of Mrs. Thompson. Both of these incidents are in recognition of Mrs. Thompson's interest in and work on the drama and should be encouraging so many of our young men and women who are attending educational institutions. On June 28 the same afternoon paper noted the birthday of our late poet, Paul Laurence Dunhax, along with the birthday of the late Henry VIII, king of England and others, noted in life's history—From the Eagle, Los Angeles, Calif. CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1922 Charles E. (Better) Stump, the Dull Regular Correspondent for The Broad Ax Is Still in the Land of the Living. He Is Headed for Bakersfield, California. The National Baptist convention was put off on account of the strike, but I am now en route to California, and will be there or on my way when you read this letter, but then I have spent the week here with my friend, Charles Stewart and his wife, because of the accident of their son, Charles Stewart, Jr., special delivery messenger in the United States post office, and who is now in St. Luke's hospital as the result of his contact with an automobile. Young Stewart, got on at the Chicago post office, and was working hard. He had made his run Sunday, August 27, and had checked in at the main post office, had his lunch, and started for home full of joy and happiness on the thought of going to see "father." He was making for his mother, when the accident occurred. He was carried to the hospital unconscious and has been there a week as I write to you. The doctors are holding him there now waiting developments. They fear that there has been a fracture of the skull, but let us hope and pray not. He has entered his senior high school year. He is the son of his father with his mother's brain and intellect, and you may know what that means. Every possible moment, Mrs. Stewart, is away from her home, 5922 Aberdeen street, and is found at the bedside of her son in St. Luke's hospital, and his father looks like another man. It is their only son, and the people with only one child know what this means. But friends, there have been many things to claim attention of the American people, and it seems that our country is still in a helva fix, and I wish that there was some one who could unfix it for us, for if it is not unfixed soon there is going to be some suffering this winter. When I was working for the election of President Warren G. Harding, I thought he was the greatest fixer in the world, and I declared in my own mind that the thing was going to happen when he got in the White House. He would be the president of all the American people, but—well, I am not going to say that I was mistaken yet, but I am thinking like a clever fellow. Chicago is full of interesting things—and I am here to tell you that our people have made wonderful progress. We don't know what we have in the race, and I am going to spend sometime looking up some of the men and women who are helping to do things, and will tell you about them as fast as I can get them located. I want you to pray for me, and help me to stay well in this search. I have just this week discovered a wonderful singer, and I did not know that she was here before. This time it is Mrs. Pearl Lowery Winters, of Bakersfield, California, and who is charming the musical world with her wonderful voice. Mrs. Winters not only sings, but she interprete, she writes music, and she is a lover of her people and a worker among the women of this country. I have just seen and heard her sing her own composition — words and music by herself, "Oh, If Thy Gates." This will touch the soul if you have one. It is a soul question, if thy gates should close, and you so full of sin let out. I am not quoting her words, but I am telling you what the question is and stop and see if it don't apply to you. If the gates should close with you full of sin, where would you land? Mrs. Winters has been the guest of Miss Naomia G. Parks, the daughter of Bishop H. Blanton Parks. On this round I expect to visit Bakersfield and will tell you about her work and ability with other things I may find there. If you desire to write me, send your letter to 1800 K street, Bakersfield, Calif. So you see I am going West. It seems that the white people of this country are trying to put John Mitchell out of business, and this will give them less competition, but I hope that all will be well. A few weeks ago they closed the Mechanics' Savings Bank, and appointed a receiver. Meetings have been held in Richmond looking forward to the opening of the bank another time, President Mitchell went into court and asked that the receivers make their report and when this was done, the next came a charge and recharge, and the paper says John Mitchell, president, and Albert V. Norrell, cashier, were taken into custody on a joint warrant charging the theft of $10,000 alleged to have belonged to the Order of Calanthe, and $19,000, said to have been on deposit to the credit of the Knights of Pythias. The paper says: "John Mitchell, Jr., was also served with a warrant charging that on June 30, he drew two checks, both to the order of the Mechanics' Savings Bank, one for $10,000, charged to the account of Kate E. Thomas, grand keeper of deposits of the Order of Calanthe, and the other for $19,000 charged against the account of E. R. Jefferson, grand master of exchequer of Knights of Pythias. It is alleged that the checks were drawn with the intent to conceal the true state of the two accounts named to defraud the bank." Then there are other things in the paper, but I want you to bear in mind that a newspaper is not a court of trial, and save you judgment until the evidence has been heard, and I believe Mr. Mitchell will come out on top. I have had the pleasure of seeing Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell, of Tuggle Institute, Birmingham, Ala. They are visiting Chicago and are having a great big time in town. They are now studying things. Mrs. Mitchell is the daughter of that great woman, Mrs. Carrie A. Tuggle. I had the pleasure of visiting the Chicago Defender with them, and also dropped into the Associated Negro Press, and found Claude Barnett and his staff hard at work. They are doing something in this office, and believe me it will only be a question of time when they will have their operators and telegraph sending forth information to the world. We are just going there. I have had the pleasure of meeting Dr. S. E. J. Watson, another busy man, and he is some busy I am here to tell you. He has a wonderful church building, and he is keep busy all the time. He is riding around in his automobile car carriage. I also met Dr. L. K. Williams, and Dr. J. H. Branham. You see Dr. Williams is pastor of the largest church in the world. When you get over ten thousand members in one church, you are going some, and that is the cocondition of Olivet Baptist church. Prof. P. T.' Frazer is no more. Death claimed him last week, and last Friday they had his funeral at Ebenezer Baptist church. It was indeed sad, and it touched my heart, because we were in school at the same time and in the same class. He had a wonderful career. He has left a widow, one son and one daughter. His daughter is music teacher in the state school in Petersburg, Va., and will return to the work. There were several of the old school mates present and paid a tribute to the wonderful character. Dr. C. H. Clark preached a wonderful sermon. The passing of Dr. R. H. Boyd, of the National Baptist Publishing Board, takes from us another leader in this country. One by one we are passing out. He will by all means be succeeded by his son, Henry Allen Boyd, of Nashville, who has been in charge of the business for a long time. Dr. Boyd has been in bad health for several years. Season on for Methodist conferences is about on, and there are many things being discussed among the brethren, but just what they are I am not prepared to tell you, because I am an Old Baptist and a member of the National Baptist convention. But I did hear that they are talking about making Rev. S. J. Johnson, of San Antonio, Texas, secretary of the Church Extension Society of his church, and then make Dr. John A. Gregg, president now of Wilberforce, one of the Bishops, and that would be another good thing to do. I may hear of other things later, and if they whisper to me I will whisper to you. But Dr. A, L. Gaines, of Baltimore, is right now before the people for the episcopacy. He is a good man, and I would like to see him elevated. Let us look and listen. I think it would be a good thing for me to bring this letter to a sudden stop for this week and take up some things next week. Attorney S. A. T. Watkins, is looking after the case of Young Stewart, and he is going to look up the fellow who ran into this messenger, and see that he does his duty. I think I have had enough to say to you this week. I will write again soon. Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett and daughter, Miss Alfreda, have returned to their home at 3624 Grand boulevard, after a three weeks' trip to Richmond and Norfolk, Virginia, and Washington City, D. C. They attended the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, Richmond, the National Business League, Norfolk, Va., and visited the Senate and the White House in Washington, besides the Northeastern Federation. They were accompanied by Miss Florence Davis, one of our Chicago school teachers. They were royally entertained by friends, especially in Washington, with dinners, teas, motor rides, winding up with a brilliant reception given in their honor by their hostess, Mrs. A. R. Clarke. Mrs. Barnett arrived last Tuesday and left at noon for the State Federation at Danville, Ill., where she was elected editor for the State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs and where the "Woman's Forum" was adopted as the State organ.

Miss Caro, as captain of the Good Ship "Lewis," had invited a bloodthirsty band of male and female pirates to board ship and make a landing on the beach where swimming, fancy diving and water stunts were participated in by the merry-makers. Several croquet matches were played on the grounds of the little "house by the side of the road" on Randolph street, while swings, hammocks and cozy nooks were occupied by cooing pairs with sweet stories to tell. In the evening, unlcer a full moon, picnic parties were the program, baskets being opened and delicious edibles spread that pleased the most fastidious epicure. Streamers and gayly decorated chinese lanterns covered a dancing platform where the busy couples tripped the light fantastic, until late in the evening when the chug of many motor cars announced that the end of a perfect day was at hand. Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Baker, Mr. and Mrs. Louis P. Baker, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Jones, Mr. and Mrs. William Dent, D. Dranny Emanuel, Mr. Harry Stewart, Mr. and Mrs. Thos.

ANTI-LYNCHING BILL BLOCKED Washington, D. C.—The Dyer anti-lynching bill cannot be passed at the present session of Congress and will fail probably at the short session this winter. House leaders contend. This bill gives the government authority to carry to the federal courts all crime cases in which aliens are the victims, assuming jurisdiction in such cases over state authorities and courts as recommended by President Harding in his latest message to Congress on the strike situation. Other provisions give federal authority in lynching cases where the state authorities fail to act. The House passed the bill some months ago after a stiff fight with most of the Democrats and some Republicans opposing it. The Senate opposition is so strong that no attempt will be made to force it through at the present session. Little attention is being given the objection raised by organized labor that the bill was prompted by hostility to organized labor, and was an effort to give federal protection to foreign strikebreakers. The colored voters throughout the country should at this coming election vote against every United States senator who comes up for re-election, who fails to work and shout for the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill—Editor.

It was sniall, made of plain, unpainted pine lumber and was covered from head to foot-in a long wreath made from outdoor flow ers. A large piece of cardboard bor- dered with a broad strip of black crepe, and bearing the letters “K. K. K.” was found in the center of the floral design. : Hill refused to be alarmed.

The revolt is headed by the provisional Klan of San Pedro (Los Angeles Harbor) which gave notice that it has separated itself from the parent body, preferring charges against King Kleagle G. W. Price, chief of the klan in the West. He is accused of violating his oath as a Klansman by using his office to fur- ther political ambitions.

With the of the Conven- vero rot Ree Eno ar caer Geena * « Noah. ‘Thompson in that convention year. -The presence ‘of Mr. “Thomp- son among a group of Negroes largely ignorant and fanatic was, to’ say the east, wholesome. He opened their eyes and buoyed up their courage We recognize his bearding Garvey is his New York den as a heroic act inasmuch as one risks physical dan. ger by taking Garvey to task before his British West Indian Association generally known as the New York Division of the U.N. LA. Despite all threats and an_unscru paldus opponent in a man like Gat- vey who does not hesitate to lie i order to carry his point — Noa Thompson went on the floor of th convention and for thirty days fough! the impossible business schemes an¢ the unvarnished demagogy of the “self-styled Provisional President o! Africa.” Not only that—Mr. Thompson re turned to Los Angeles, reported the facts to the members in that city convincing the great sime majority and finally carrying them out of this most unsound organization yet de veloped by Negroes and léd by wha Prof. William Pickens calls “the wrongest man who ever attempted tc ead Negroes anywhere.” ‘The “close-up” which Noah Thomp son gave on Garvey resulted in sav. ing thousands of dollars to the poo: |dupes on the Pacific Coast. It was a public service honestly, courageousl) and well done. In characteristic fashion Garves sent reports to papers in Los Angeles trying to reflect upon the honesty land motives of Mr. Thompson. When Garvey appeared in Los Angeles however, June Sth, he took back ev. ery word and proceeded to praise ‘Thompson. Habit acts with danger- ous accuracy, so this was mo excep: tion. Garvey said Briggs was 3 white man and then took it back. He libeled the New York District Attor- ney and took it back He said the N. A. A.C. P. had paid persons to dismantle the already dismantled ma- chinery of his would-be rickety old boats, but had to squirm and evade when Pickens hemmed him in and tied him down. 3 2a ely We know Mr. Thompson to be 4 thoroughly responsible, honest man What he reported about Garvey was true, but the half was never told, The people of the Pacific Coast will do well to follow the sound advice of 2 responsible man who has long fived among them, rather than that of 2 servile, sycophant, who has surren- dered all the rights of Negro Amer. ican citizens and shamelessly kow- towed to that black band of criminal cowards, the unspeakable. Ka Kiux Klan. ‘A Noah Thompson in every city would result in quickly destroying these fatuous and criminal schemes Promoted by shifty, merdacious, irre- sponsible, hat-in-hand Negroes.

How many staff officers wearing red tabs know that the correct name for their tabs is "gorgets?" Gorgets were worn centuries ago, when warriors were clad in shining armor.

In the sweet chorus of modern poetry one may hear a strange new harmony. It is the life of our time, evoking its own music; constraining the poetic spirit to utter its own message. The peculiar beauty of the contemporary poetry, with its fresh and varied charm, grows from that; and in that, too, its vitality is assured. Its art has the deep sanction of loyalty; its loyalty draws inspiration from the living — Mary C. Sturgeon. "Jerry Builders."

Found With Dagger in Ribs With a jewelled dagger thrust be bween his ribs just below the heart, the skeleton of a man was found in a very ancient terra-cotta tomb by work man while digging the foundations for a villa at Sirmione on the Lake of Barda, Italy. Further excavations brought to light other tombs of the same kind. Nirmione, which in the days of the Roman empire was a favorite resort of wealthy Romans, is now a fishing village on a narrow promontory which projects into the lake. In the neighborhood is the so- called Grotte di Catulli, the consid- erable remains of a Roman building said to have been the country house of Catullius, the famous lyric poet of Rome.

From eight to nine years is required by the trunk, from ten to eleven years for the first branches and from eleven to twelve years for the second branches. Sounds Travel Farthast in Darkness. Sounds can generally be heard much farther by night than by day; sometimes ten or even twenty times as far. One reason is that the clr at night contains, as a rule, few eddies and other local disturbances, such as break up the sound waves by day. Moreover, on calm, clear nights the vertical distribution of temperature near the earth is often the reverse of that occurring by day, and has the effect of bending the sound waves downward instead of upward.
