Miss Lacy was taken home. Picnic Party At 8 p.m. Thursday nearly 500 couples were gliding around the polished floor of the dance pavilion at Buckeye Lake. The orchestra was mooning "Don't Mind the Rain." It was a snowy afternoon. The murmur errors in the huge revolving ball in the middle of the arched top were sending a million will of the wisp lights glancing here, there and everywhere. A brisk breeze was whirling in off the lake, bringing welcome relief from a day of swelting heat. It was the annual big day for central Elks this foliage at Zamora. Elks were outing-a summer feature at the resort for 10 years. Feature of Day The big feature of the day was at hand-an evening of dancing on the pavilion floor. More than 3,000 Elks and their ladies from all over central Elks orchestra was playing peppy music and the dancers were dancing zimny steps. Suddenly in the northwest corner of the pavilion, where hundreds of Elks were booth waiting to check their wraps and take a whirl on the dance floor, a crash was heard. A 15-foot square of the floor in front of the check booth gave way, leaving into the 10 feet of water below. There was a rush. Bystanders fought their way to aid those aloud, fought to get rid of them to get rid of far away from the hole as possible. Those in the rear pushed against those in the front and those in the front pushed against those in the back. A result from the screams of the drowning women. In the mad rush of the crowd to leave the pier both men and women were knocked down and pushed into the water. Those nearest the hole were pushed in. falling on the struggling forms already in the water. The mind turned on the lights and a man with a heavy voice kept yelling: "Keep quiet, everything is all right!" He was pleased to assure the things he would be all right, but they weren't.

Surely they hold the double, the double, the double, the double, to be relieved from all imposition, to be defended from lynching and to be freely granted equal opportunities." - Calvin Coolidge. Washington, Aug. 15.—In a letter to Charles R. Gardner, Fort Hamilton, N. Y., who had written him protesting that a man of color was a public candidate for Congress in New York, President Coolidge issued what has been termed the most pertinent statement on the race situation that the public official within the last 12 years. Gardner called upon the president to use his influence to stop the New York Republicans from using that statement and to hold candidates. His letter, teeming with klannish biography, declared to the president that "repeated ignoring of the race problem does not excuse us for avoiding encroachments." Vigorous and to the point, follows in part: "Leaving out of consideration the manifest impropriety of the president intruding himself in a local community in an amused to receive such letter. "During the war 500,000 Colored men and boys were called up under the draft, one of whom sought to be assigned to the army. The wherever assigned in defense of the nation of which they are just as truly citizens as are any others, they are not assigned to their full political rights to such a great group of our population as the Colored people is one which, however it may be received in some other persons, could not possess the Constitution. "Our Constitution guarantees equal rights to all our citizens, without discrimination on account of race, color, or nationality to support that Constitution. It is the source of your rights and my rights. I propose to regard it and administer it, as the source of people, whatever their belief or race. "A Colored man is precisely as much entitled to submit his candidacy as primary as is his candidate. The citizen must be made by the constituents to whom he offers himself and by nobody else. You have suggested that in some fashion I should bring influence to bear to prevent the possibility of a Colored man being nominated for Congress. In reply I quote my great predecessor, Theodore Roosevelt. "I present to take the position that the door of hope—the door of opportunity—is to be shut upon any man, no matter of race or color." The action of the president in stating his position in no uncertain terms, in spite of the fact that he knew he was bound to arouse the hearsay he was bound to jean 100 per centers, proves clearly that he is swayed only by his convictions and can be depended upon to do the right thing when he is convinced as to what it is. Those who have been hit by the government in removing a large number of workers from different departments of the service may well take hope and be convinced that with such a leader at the helm, he will not tolerate injustices that he can remedy.

Before the coming of the whites, we learn, that it was "a rendezvous for various Indian tribes and a famous meeting place for voyagers and traders." It is famous after some 300 years in the past, one bit, but each year extends further.

The speakers at each session, which will be held in the large auditorium of the Wendell Phillips high school, are prominent in business circles and have made a success in their particular areas. To these addresses will be those by experts in various lines of business. Conspicuous among the experts who will address the convention is Dr. Arthur Judson Brewster, head of the College of Business Administration, Syracuse university, and advertising manager of the L. C.

Speaking to Garvey directly, he said, "You are in us in others. You have given us the advantage of your direction in the other subjects that were up for discussion. In the matter of forming the Garvey movement, you have loved you. In the matter of the delicacy of God us a black God, we have resolved that which you put before us. We have followed you in each matter that came before us, and we have followed you in each state you position in this question. "We feel that you have an advantage over us through the knowledge that you gained in an interview we have had a disadvantage. We know that your know better than we. We want to know what is your attitude." Garvey, who is a highly skilled parliamentarian, arose in obvious embitterment. Speaking hesitantly, he said: "My attitude is that of the majority of the convention. This Ku Klux question is an extremely important influence the convention.

COLUMBIA PHONOGRAPH CO., INC., NEW YORK Columbia New Process RECORDS PART 1—PAGE 2 SPORTSMAN MURDERS WOMAN Unrequited love was named as the cause of another tragedy enacted Wednesday, Aug. 6, when George "Mickey" Thomas, 36, 3634 Michigan Ave. former roadhouse owner in Indiana Harbor, and prominent sportsman, went to the home of his former sweetheart, Mrs. Edna Etter, 29, and shot her to death in the first apartment at 4227 Calumet Ave, where she resided with Mrs. Joyce Robinson, who is living apart from her husband. After sending a bullet into the heart of Mrs. Etter, killing her instantly, she killed herself and several others. Mrs. Etter turned the gun on himself and sent two bullets into his chest, one of them penetrating the left lung. The other was shot by crouching behind a trunk in her room while Thomas, using two guns, one of them an automatic, sent bullet into her. She was not struck, however. Slipa From House Following the slaying of Mrs. Ettler and the shooting of himself, Thomas left the house and made his way to 42d St. and Grand Blvd., where he met the police. He took him to the house of his brother, Jimmie Thomas, 3614 Michigan Ave. He told the taxicab chauffeur he was sick. Later he admitted he was shot by Thomas. He called the policeman who took Thomas, 3614 Michigan pital, 3833 Vernon Ave, where he lies in a critical condition. Mrs. Robinson, who escaped Thomas, pulled up to the graves of Ahern, Sheehy and Curtin of the Third district, who rushed to the scene of the tragedy, that Thomas came to the apartment at noon Wednesday and asked for Mrs. Ettler. He told she was out. He went away. About an hour and a half later she answered the phone and a woman whose name was given as "Troy" Ettler, who had been home all the time, was called to the phone. Mrs. Robinson said that from the nature of the conversation she knew then Mrs. Ettler was talking to Thomas. "We Will Die Together" Mrs. Eter retired to her room after the phone conversation and a few minutes later she screamed. Mrs. Robinson ran to her door and saw Mrs. Robinson left hand and, with the gun in his right, saw him fire several bullets into her body, she said. Then when he had shot himself he crawled to Mrs. Robinson's bed and lay and looking into her face said: "We will die together." Mrs. Robinson left the two on the floor and went "the phone to call Thomas had slipped from the arm." Further investigation revealed that Mrs. Eter and Thomas had been sweetheart; that she broke with him on time age, and upon her refusal to form in an effort to forget. This proved futile, however, and he returned to Chicago and sought her again. For three days he is said to learn in an endeavor to learn her address. When he discovered that she was living at 4225 Calumet Ave, he made vain attempts to see her there, and when she was the climax of his last attempt. Mitt. Ettler was well known in Indianapolis, where she formerly resided and was the mother of children. Her nephew, John Milton of the Calumet Ave. address, was a aunt. Her body was removed by Gavorke's morgue, where an inquest was held Thursday and continued indefinitely. A city gentleman writing to the press called to the north of Scotland in less than a minute.

Fields is a member, closed one of the most successful sessions in the history of the national grand council, which was held at 55th St. and Quincy Ave. The second national encampment of the military department was held at Kingsbury Park, which was guarded by J.

The organization of the grand lodge and the appointment of the committees to function the 11th annual grand lodge, the 12th annual grand Erie, the reports of the national and the state grand officers, the reception to the delegates by the local councils, the reports of the great Murd Gras, the continuation of the reports of the state grand officers, most excellent queens and the national queens, the reports of the fields and the sightseeing trip of the city were all history-marking events of the order. Thursday was taken up with the completion of the report of the election of the following grand officers: Wm. H. Fields, St. Louis, Mo. national grand master; the Rev. S. D. Davis, Indianapolis, Ind. national secretary; the Rev. Cattrel, St. Louis, Mo. national secretary-treasurer; Mrs. Josie Henry, St. Louis, Mo. national inspector of fire; Mrs. Sergio Sagrano, Chicago, Ill. national grand queen; the Rev. T. L.

Among them were: the creating of the office of national Postal Workers Fire On Kansas City Postmaster Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 15.—From widely scattered sources reports of the elimination in civil service appointments that have been growing increasingly insistent, according to the officials of the National Alliance of Postal Employees, the militant on-going effort to protect the protection of employees. "Failure to observe the letter of the law, subterfuge to get around the appointment of the deserving men, the requiring photo of an act to determine the racial identity of an applicant" are among the grievances stressed by a high official of the organization, Josiah H. Jones, who is here investigating the case of E. C. Colo. 2109 E. 22d St. so In October, 1923, Cole passed the clerk-carrion examination held in the local office and stoid 12th on the roster for appointment. Feb. 12, 1923, received a month of learning that 24 substitutes had been appointed as went to the postmaster to inquire why he had been overlooked and was advised that it was an oversight, and that he would be given the very same job. On the same day, substitute substitutes were certified without notice having been given to Cole. Undaunted he called again and was told no appointment had been made. Still later, July 21, he was called together to hear a number of white applicants who were accepted, and was turned down. The new postmaster, W. E. Morton, told him he had been considered three times and therefore was no longer a judge. The law provides 'under civil service rules, the appointing officer may choose one of three eligible certificates to him, and the judge may not accepted, is dropped from the roster and the applicant must take another examination. The usual procedure has been to give the highest rating, unless facts hitherto unknown were brought up grand mother queen for the juvenile department; assistant national grand secretary-treasurer for the national grand council; and an appointment of a committee of five to revise the constitution and by-laws of the national grand council, and a provision for more official space to the national grand council at headquarters. He also complimented in his annual address the state grand officers, most excellent queens and other representatives for the university in their various divisions during the past year. The national grand secretary-treasurer's report showed an increase in membership of over 5,000 for the year and the number of students. The parade Friday at high 'noon over some of the principal streets was one long to be remembered by the people of this city, and the prize conferred on the parade was seats more than 8,000 people and one of the finest buildings in the United States was a history-making event for the military department. Never before was the contest so close and the contest made by the military department. The Oak Leaf drill team of Chicago with Major Williams at the head, took first prize in the fancy drill, which champion banner for 1924. Lake City drill team "A" of Cleveland took second prize, which was $50 in cash, brought great appeal when Mid-West company "C" won first prize in the regulation drill of $150 the world champion banner for 1924 in dianapolis.

But now the element of Race is apparently given especial consideration. Civil service examinations require that photographs of applicants be submitted to appointing officers the photographs are sent along with the result that a "Black" photo has about as much chance for favorable consideration as any other of the high percentage made." The National Alliance officials interviewed Cole and report he is far more efficient than an efficient worker in any branch of the service. Absolute justice cannot be had under such laws until they are so amended to make them more efficient to appoint the man with the highest average, other things being equal, and elimination of the present method of examination. Until this is done, instead of a dozen or more cases similar to that of Mr. Cole, which are now on file very few of our Race in many sections of the country. Pine Bluff, Ark, Aug. 15—Henry Mathews was shot and fatally wounded by a Macedonian attacker. Mathews is said to have cursed Hamilton. A double-harreled shotgun and fired at Mathews from a distance of 28 feet. A charge of three struck Mathews in the right side of the attack. Public Approval Stands Squarely Before the Public on Its Merits as an Institution of Service There are now openings through which enterprising Race Women may increase their earnings as our Representatives. SLAIN IN ARGUMENT THE CHICAGO DEFENDER TWO FREED OF EASON SLAYING New Orleans, La. Aug. 15.—The acquittal of Constantine F. Dyer and William Shakespeare, Garveyes, indicted and previously convicted of manslaughter growing out of the death of the Rev. J. H. W. Eason on New Year's night, 1923, is generally regarded as the most flagrant case of miscarried justice in the history of the local bar. Dyer and Shakespeare had their accusers and their convicted the first time. The supreme court of Louisiana remanded the case back to Judge Echezbal for retrial. The court also ordered a district attorney, prosecuting the alleged murders, declared that the high court had upset jurisprudence as the defense of the case came into existence. He insisted that the decision in the Dyer-Shakespeare case threw open the courts to the admission of hearsay and irrelevant evidence. The defense of the defendants was a brilliantly conducted affair and the prosecution was as vigorous as the defense. The attorneys rlied almost exclusively on the court record, showing that another member of the local branch of the defense indicted for the murder of Eason. Dyer, who was recognized locally as most high grand chief of police of the Garvey left, followed the death of Garvey left by the officers traced him to Boston, Mass, where it is alleged he went to report to agents of Garvey and to obtain information about the city, here later he secretly returned to the city and was arrested at the home of his wife on Iberville St. **Police Baffled** The murder of Eason baffled the police for some time, though Dr. Eason was not arrested. He was sent to 27. Charity hospital, where he was taken following the shooting which occurred on Third St., near the Rev. Dr. Eason's home. He was described Dyer as his slayer. Not knowing the name of his slayer and so many of the Garveyettes, mostly women, he was not until an enthusiastic woman member of the local Garvey organization gave the first tip that Dyer was the man who fired the fatal shot. He was from a drug store on Tulane Ave. the woman was congratulating another woman on in her heroism of the drug store in Tulane organization of its powerful opener. Eason, who was a former high officer, had deserted the Garvey movement and had pronounced it a fraud, but he had been a member of the bunch of others at the expense of the poor people who were regularly contributing to purchase ships, found stores and move 12,000,000 native citizens to foreign-owned Africa. In his dying statement, Dr. Eason said he had been warned that he was beingShadowed and had been shadowed for two months. At the time of his death the local police had been advised that a member of Garvey's secret police force had been shadowed and had ranged for Eason's death. "This agent, living at 1312 Tulane Ave. quietly left the city the moment he searched his room and found many showing what his mission was. A marked passage of the U. N. I. A. constitution and by-laws absolving any American law in defense of Garvey or the movement, indicated, the police held, that the local members had been carefully coached in their obedience to the movement to go to any excess. Police Baffled TRY TO FIND A JUDGE LIKE THIS IN MISSISSIPPI Salt Lake City, Utah, Aug. 15.—Judge Ben Johnson recognized prisoners before him here last Saturday as citizens of the United States and not as "Colored prisoners" formed vurgents by the arresting police, and dismissed the charges against them. A man cannot be charged with vagrancy while he is in fall or within a week after being released from jail, according to this one fair-minded, unprejudiced judge. The state presented evidence to show that the defendants were guilty of vagrancy and of being "idle." Witnesses testified that they had seen all the prisoners at various times recently loading the gun at the honorable Judge Johnson held that the same charge might be brought against many other persons in the city, including a number of prominent citizens and scions of well known families who put in jail on the same testimony. "Because these men are Colored jail on this evidence," Judge Johnson said, "the law owes its pro- cificity to other citizens of this country." OFFICER SHOOTS BOY ENTERING APARTMENT Efforts to break into the apartment of Mrs. Carrie Lyons on the first floor of the building at 507 E 34th Pl. proved disastrous for Sam. Lyons, who was shot in the right arm by Policeman Sneed of the Stanton Ave. station, who lives on the second floor over Mrs. Lyons. The night Mrs. Lyons was awakened by a noise at her back door. She called Officer Sneed from his apartment. When went to the rear porch to investigate in the house there. He waited in hiding. Soon he saw some one approaching Mrs. Lyons' apartment and oranged to the party to throw up his hands. He stood to the door and he hit when the officer fired two shots and wounded him in the arm. After his arrest the youth was identified as Samuel Boyle. He told the Stanton Ave. police, according to Officer Sneed, that he went to the Lyons apartment in search of a stolen car. He and stolen some of his clothing. He was taken to the Bridwell hospital. Genuine BAYER ASPIRIN Say "Bayer"- Insist!

F. P. Women Now Depend on St. Joseph's G.F.P. To Restore Their Vitality Seldom in the whole range of human experience have our women been so surprised and delighted by anything as they are by the almost miraculous improvement which the phenomenal medicine known as St. Joseph's G. F. P. is now making in the condition of their thin, sick and suffering fellow women wherever it is being used consistently. Our Women Are Amazed And no wonder our women are astonished when they see their friends and neighbors, who have been almost too sick from the effects of so-called "female trouble" to care what became of them, now going about their household duties with a song on their lips, and taking part in the social affairs of the neighborhood with as much interest and enthusiasm as any woman who has always been in perfect health and spirits. If you talk with any of these beaming, happy, robust women, who only a few short months ago were physical wrecks, drifting hopelessly and helplessly on the tide of life, they will tell you a story of pain, disappointment and depression which fairly takes the heart out of you, and then, with enthusiasm and gratitude shining from their eyes, they will tell you how quickly, easily and completely their troubles and pains have been swept away by wonderful St. Joseph's G. F. P. Great Success Is Changing Ideas The remarkable success of St. Joseph's G. F. P. is rapidly changing the old idea that so-called "female trouble" cannot be relieved. This idea was the result of years of guesswork and hit-and-miss methods in treating our women for those painful and embarrassing symptoms which are so common among them. The term "female troubles" in itself is meaningless and indefinite and would never have been used if the real cause of woman's pain and misery had been known. The failure of so many medicines for women is unquestionably due to the uncertainty and doubt which previously existed concerning the reasons for woman's weakness and suffering. Cause of Ninety Percent of the Trouble Now Known It is a peculiar fact that no one seemed to know or could find out the cause of this pain and sickness until the discoverers of the now famous St. Joseph's G. F. P. announced that they had found out and definitely proven that it is Catarrh of the Female Organs which is causing ninety per cent of those distressing ailments of our women, such as headaches, backaches, irregularity, stomach trouble, displacements, weakness, nervousness and that tired-out and run-down feeling so common nowadays among the women and girls of our group. It is perfectly plain that when the cause of the condition is known it is a much simpler matter to treat it successfully. That is the principal reason for the astounding success of St. Joseph's G. F. P. which is believed to be the first direct specific for the relief of this terrible malady of our women—Catarrh of the Female Organs. If your druggist hasn't got St. Joseph's G. F. P. send $1.00 and 25c coins to your pharmacy charged to Battier's Pharmacy, Memphis, Tenn. for a bottle. G. F. P. HELPS MISS. WOMAN OVERCOME STOMACH TROUBLE "I suffered for years from stomach trouble," says Mrs. Aurelia Durham, whose Post-office address is Route 3, Box 86, Pickens, Miss. "I got so weak I couldn't lift anything, and was just helpless when it came to the heavy work around the house. I felt tired all the time and didn't want to go anywhere or do anything. "I kept taking medicine for stomach trouble, but didn't get any relief. Then I read in the paper how so many women who didn't seem to be able to get any relief from their suffering are now getting so much good using G. F. P. I thought I would try a bottle of this great medicine. "I know now G. F. P. is just what I needed, as I started to feel better with the first few doses. I have taken six bottles of this wonderful medicine and am now on my seventh one. It seems like the more G. F. P. I take the stronger I get. I think it is a wonderful remedy for weakly women." If your drugist hasn't got St. Joseph's G. F. P. send 1.00 and 250 extra to cover routine charges to Battler's Pharmacy, Memphis, Tenn. for a bottle. IRREGULARITY MADE GA. WOMAN'S LIFE A MISERY FOR YEARS "I was irregular, and it seemed as though always had pains in my back or head," says Mrs. W. W. Edmondson, the attractive young woman who is so active in educational and business circles of our group in Screen, Ga. "I had suffered this way ever since I became a woman, and had tried so many different medicines and treatments when I was younger that I didn't think there was any hope for me, now I am married and have four children. However, I kept seeing with my own eyes other sick and nervous women getting their health back using St. Josephs G. F. P. so I went and got a bottle of this wonderful medicine. G.F.P. is certainly different from any other medicine I have ever used. It seemed to do me good, and right from the start and before the first bottle was gone the pains in my head and back were almost gone. I am now on my third bottle. I am just as regular as clockwork and never have an ache or a pain. With my new strength and energy I am getting added pleasure out of my home and children." If your drugstreet hasn't got St. Joseph's G. F. P. send $1.00 and 25c extra to cover postage charges to the pharmacy, Memphis, Tenn., for a bottle. --- SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1924 "I was all weak and rundown and was getting so thin and nervous I didn't know what to do," says Mrs. Maggie A. Rhodes, the attractive Race woman, who lives on Route 2, Box 29, Silver Creek, Miss. "In the evening, when I would leave school, I would be so worn-out and nervous I would think I couldn't teach another day. "I notted that a good many of the women in this neighborhood who used to be weak and nervous are getting their strength back, and when I learned that these women are using G. F. P., I got a bottle of this wonderful medicine and started taking it. All that old nervousness and weakness is gone now, and I have gained more than ten pounds since I started using G. F. P. I want all women to know about this wonderful medicine, as I don't think there is anything else like it for weak and run-down women." If your druggist hasn't got St. Joseph's G. F. P. send $1.00 and See extra her postage charges to the Pharmacy, Memphis, Tenn., for a bottle. MISSOURI WOMAN WAS TOLD AN OPERATION WAS NECESSARY "I suffered for more than seven years from ovarian and womb troubles," says Mrs. Amanda Bagby, the well-known woman of our group who lives in Kennett, Mo. "I couldn't sleep at night, and my back and sides hurt me so much I would have to lay down during the day. "I had tried all sorts of medicines and treatments, but they didn't seem to do me any good, as I kept getting worse all the time. I felt so weak and helpless and was so discouraged I didn't know what to do. I was told the only thing which would help me was an operation. I didn't want to have this done if I could help it, and was talking to my mother-in-law and she told me to try G. F. P. first, as it was helping so many other women and girls. I am now on my fifth bottle of this wonderful medicine, and feel so much better and stronger in every way that I think there is no medicine like St. Joseph's G. F. P. I am never bothered with my old trouble, never have pains in my sides, and feel as strong as a horse. I do all of my housework, take care of my chickens and still have plenty of energy to go about socially. G. F. P. is certainly a wonderful medicine." It used to be the case that ten different people would tell a woman who was suffering from those painful and distressing troubles, such as headaches, backaches, irregularity, pains in the back, sides and limbs, swelling of the joints during pregnancy, nausea, cramping, spots before the eyes and that terrible run-down and worn-out feeling, that ten different things were causing her trouble and advise her to take ten different medicines. In the face of so much conflicting advice and so little actual benefit from any of it, it is no wonder women who used to suffer from so-called "female trouble" felt so helpless and miserable. But all that old uncertainty and doubt concerning so-called "female disorders," as well as the methods of treating them, by the astonishing discovery of the true cause, and the almost unbelievable success now being enjoyed in thousands of cases, like Mrs. Baghy, by the phenomenal medicine known as Joseph's G. P. P. in overpounding and stamping out this terrible malady. If your drugstiff got not *St. Joseph's G.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1924 FLEES AFTER SLAYING HIS WIFE'S AUNTS --- Also Shoots Mate Who Had Left Him Indianapolis, Ind. Aug. 15—Robert Tucker, an ex-soldier of Anderson, Ind., shot and killed Mrs. Josee Gray, age 66, and Mrs. Amanda Smith, age 63, and Mrs. Elizabeth Tucker, at 224 Vanderbilt St., here Wednesday night. Mrs. Tucker is in the City hospital, where physicians say she may not be White and Hobson have been assigned to the case and are searching for Tucker, but no trace of the murder has been found. Tucker is from Anderson Wednesday and inquired of an officer where the aunts of his wife lived, where he said, "My aunts were not live together at Anderson." The Officer Braughton said he accompanied Tucker to the house, but that Mrs. Tucker refused to see her husband, who came out, as she could not be forced to see him if she did not choose, he said. Tucker cursed Tucker and struck him with a chair as they were leaving the house. Braughton said. Tucker made no effort to strike her in return, he said, and told her he "You have the law with you now, why don't you have us arrested?" Draughan said Mrs. Smith exclaimed to Tucker. Braughton said Mrs. Smith taunted Tucker and shrieked at him as they went down the street until they were caught. "You're not going to be angry and made no wrong move, said the officer. Apparently Tucker went back to the man, and removed his effort to get his wife to return to him, and in the quarrel he shot and killed both the older women and wounded his wife. He was taken to the city from Anderson that Tucker had filed suit for a divorce from his wife about a month ago. Double federal services over the course of Mrs. Gray and Mrs. Smith were held Saturday at the Corinthian Baptist church. BYSTANDER SHOT IN GUN BATTLE Bullets flew through the street at 44th St. and Vincennes Ave. shortly after 1 o'clock Sunday, among them a police officer, two policemen who were chasing two policemen who were stolen automobile tires, the two policemen duet Mrs. Florence Clemons, 30, wife of Rohit Clemons, 3617 Giles Ave. who was walking past 509 E. 44th St. with her dog, a police officer by a stray bullet said to have been fired by one of the men. Policemen Charles Azee and Chris were the pursuers of the alleged fire thieves. The officers later arrested Floyd Brown. 19, 448 E. 425 Brown was taken to the Bridwell hospital. He was shot through the right shoulder, right hip and three fingers of his right hand. His com- James Gamble, 23, 3221 Giles Ave. was shot and wounded in the right hip carcage Saturday morning by a police officer in front of 3224 Michigan Ave. Gamble attempted to escape from the custody of the policeman, arrested by the police, byurchurring a Michigan Ave. store, which was taken to the Bridwell hospital. The Gland That Causes Men to Get Up at Night The gland that causes getting up at night is known as the prostate and is a noiseless trouble maker. It is estimated that 65 out of 100 women under that age have prostate disease, which, if unchecked, often leads to a serious operation. The prostate surrounds the neck of the bladder like a washbasin. When the bladder comes inflamed by poisons which the kidneys filter out of the blood, the irritation spreads to the prostate. As the gland swells, it closes the neck of the bladder and causes difficult and painful and causing pain in the back, head and legs. An easy way to treat these annoying and dangerous conditions is to each meal. The renex formula has been victorious in thousands of such cases.

Scott was elected a member of the republican city central committee during the recent primary election held here. It is the first time in the history of St. Louis that a member of our Race has been so honored, and the first fight in the Sixth ward, defeating his two white opponents by a plurality of 166 votes. Mrs. Elizabeth Gamble, a prominent committeewoman of the game ward, succeeding herself in office. She was appointed to the office some time ago by the retiring committeewoman, Anton Jean Colbert (white), who received 240 votes, and Mrs. Gertrude Williams, who received 718. Mrs. Gamble received more votes than both of her. The next battle ground where our candidates played an important part for committeewas in the 23d Eight Drown When Dance Floor Breaks (Continued from Page 1) Foster, a Columbus electrician, Lewis Peoples of Newark, R. W. Mikesell, George Push of Burlock, BILL Henry of Columbus Lake, Henry Poston of Columbus and Swither Marshall of Newark were among those who contributed heroic rescues. The color line was forgotten. Men and women were drowned in the dark depths beneath that shattered Confusion Reigns Men rushed here and there looking for their wives. Women, their faces drawn in terror, were searching for them. Here and there among forms dragged from the water, was one limp and lifeless. Help had come to him. A 2:30 a.m. m. Friday divers quit their task of searching the water for more bodies. Seven had been recovered. They started in again at daylight. The floor collapsed when an I-beam pulled loose from a heavy joist. The structure has been inspected at least once annually by state inspectors, and was approved by state inspectors this spring, according to Elwards and W. C. Dimmitt of Newark, owners of the pavilion. Physicians who treated the injured were Dr. G, N. Brown and Dr. C. Dimmitt of Johns Hopkins and Dr. Walter of Zanesville. Ambulances from Hebron, Kirkersville and Newark carried the dead and injured to mortuaries and long lines of those who believed that friends or relatives might be numbered among the victims passed through the Cummins establishment. See Nephew Drown Nine-year-old Lowell Powell, one of the victims, was taken to the convention as a treat by his pawn, then escorted inside her holding her hand and watching the dancers when the floor gave way beneath them and they found themselves in water over them. One of the rescues grabbed the aunt and pulled her up. She clung to the lady's hand and had pulled up out when he either fell back on the carpet or was chained by another drowning person. Friends Disappear A vivid eye witness story of the catastrophe was related by Bessie Hannon, 340 Pilgrim Avenue, Ace, who was taken to the hospital which so suddenly opened, taking its toll of lives. "I was standing with Katie Hoston and Bessie Johnson, both of Houston," she said, watching the dancing when a friend of mine across the hall waved to me. I turned my head to speak to her and when I looked back I was taken to the hospital where the hole looked down into the water and both the girls with me had disappeared. I am afraid they were drowned and their bodies are still in the water. "Some of the people were still sliding into the water through the funnel-shaped hole, screaming like they were scared to death and the crowd was pushing so hard that being knocked down all the time. "Some of the people grabbed the floor and others hung onto them. I think at least 45 must have slid or fallen, and the hole before the crush was over. "I even saw some people jump - Photos by Pattern. ward. Mrs. George Gallian won over six white women in a hot contest, receiving more votes than all the other candidates. Walter L. Cabrell, who ran for committeeman lost to a white man. Aside from the two, Mrs. Gamble and Mrs. Gallian, who had contests for committeeships, there were three women who ran for the out opposition. They were Mrs. Cassie Harris, Fifth ward; Mrs. Carrie Tillman, 16th ward, and Mrs. Florence Davis, 19th ward. Mrs. Florence Davis, 19th ward, who filed for the state legislature from the Third district, Walmut M. Moore, who ran and won the office four years ago, and John A. Davis, attorney, who filed for the office. There were also five whites who filed for this office, one of whom was a woman. Moore led the ticket, while Davis lost by far less than 200 votes. Moore had organized support while Davis was not so fortunate. Baltimore, Md., Aug. 15.—E. Milton Altford, assistant state's attorney of Baltimore, has refused an invitation tendered him by the Ku Klux Klan to join. The Klan consented to recognize him as a '100 year war record,' Mr. Altford having served overseas as a captain. Asked if he intended to accept the invitation, Altford is quoted as having no ally. No. I do not expect to order a new nightgown. It is hot enough these days without extra sheets. Anyway, as an ally, I am self-serving. I am not self-serving. Altford's ancestors fought in the American army in three wars. over the side of the pavilion into the water? Altford's night tragedy, which claimed eight known dead, by a strange coincidence fell upon the eleventh anniversary of an accident in which seven persons of Color were drowned when a motorboat crashed into it. It was on Aug. 7, 1913, at a Sunday school picnic at the lake that the crowded excursion boat sank, throwing 20 persons in the lake. All Other disasters which have occurred at the resort in recent years include a fire on May 19, 1922, a disastrous fire swept the cottages and other buildings at the lake, doing thousands of dollars of damage than a month later—on June 11, 1922—three persons were killed and five injured as a bath house was overturned and amusement devices were broken. The lake is 12 miles southwest of Newark and is 12 miles long and three wide. Nelson pavilion is on the northwest shore and just over the line in Licking county. Knocks Down Pedestrians Pittsburgh, Pa., Aug. 15.—Mary James Williams, 27, ran camp through the downstown streets and knocked down several pedestrians aboard. Williams was apprehended, when he went into a blind alley between the two buildings. He said that Williams had escaped from them after he was arrested. He is now lodged in the North side police station, with being a suspicious person.

KLUXERS AND ANTI-KLUXERS JOIN FORCES Say They Will Fight Us Together Niles, Ohio, Aug. 15.—Information has just been made public that the Ku Klux Klan and the Knights of the Flaming Circle, a supposedly anti-Klan organization, had agreed to cease fighting one another, especially on issues that pertain to race question. Paper, have held a press conference, the mother chair of the Flaming Circle, followers of which are located in this city, and the Niles chapter of the Klan, and the two groups have decided to combine their forces for the purpose of making Ohio another Mississippi. In Columbus the news of the move in this city was received with rejoicing. Klansmen and anti-Klansmen are introducing new guns and arms. The hatchet has indeed been buried; two men, one an avowed Kluxer and the other his erstwhile foe, were overheard talking on one of the main streets of Columbus. The fact was signed. The antit was doing most of the talking and his statements allowed no doubt as to what he meant. The antit was heard to say, "I ought to be easy for us to make Ohio the worst state in America for the N—. There's no reason why he should be allowed in any of the states." The antit turned the peanut gallery in the show houses over to our pet dogs or let the foreign domestics servants set up there for nothing." These two the conversation went. These two the American players—with the determination to heap more injustices upon a fast growing, impatient people, making worse a situation that is already wellenlittable. The spirit is spreading; whites will not oppose whites for a principle principle happens to involve a person's identity in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo and other Ohio cities are following in the footsteps of Niles. The two on oppose the rest on their arms and are weighed with breathless interest what is going on in the fair state of Ohio.

JOHNSON KEPT OUT RING THRU RANK DECISION Governor Branch of Indiana announces that he asked the Mayor of East Chicago to stop the prosecution of Jack Johnson and Tut Jackson for "for reasons which the public will very well understand." We wonder what he meant by "for reasons." The Color of the contestants, Jack Johnson has been persecuted and punished for what to some white men was justified by a white man would have caused no comment. That is in the past and is now history. Here is the one-time listicic champion of the race, Jack Johnson, his living in the prize ring, who is hounded and kept from making a legitimate living from the only trade or profession he knew. He is the account of his Color and one-time popularity. Does the governor of Indiana want to force him out on the open highway with the same wolf from the door? Here is a light between contestants of the same race called off at the whim of a state executive who proposes to public even though there is no law on the statute loops which justifies the action. The public had purchased tickets and showed its interest in the affair, so the reason is that he wants what the reasons are which the governor seems to think the public will understand. Even a burgher who has served his time is given a chance to vote. The governor deserves the same consideration accorded even to criminals everywhere. SUE LANDLORDS FOR INJURIES RECEIVED SUE LANDLORDS FOR INJURIES RECEIVED Mesdames Fannie O'Donald, 4156 Vincennes Ave., and Julia Shepherd, 534 E. 34th St. filed suit in the suit against Mr. O'Donald, Jr., and Percy R.

Mr. O'Donald was Wosthorne and Blinge G. Alston she has filed suit against Harding for $25,000 damages. Mrs. Shepherd sustained similar injuries while descending a dark stairway to her room on the second floor of the premises owned by Carr at 503 E. 34th St. Through it is alleged that the accident was due to failure of the landlords to provide sufficient light on the stairway. The attorneys insist that the landlords are liable for the damages in the buildings and the landlords retained control over the stairways, in that they employed janitors whose duties were to take care of the buildings and the protection of the buildings disclosed that the lights were defective and had seen so far, and the landlords in each case knew it, having been often requested to make necessary repairs. **HEADS "WORK** Birmingham, Ala.

LINCOLN TO GET HELP OF P.S.DUPONT Millionaire Offers Aid to University Chester, Pa., Aug. 12—Pierre S. duffent of Lonewood, Del., who recently laid the cornerstone of the Chester County hospital, to which he has given about a million and a half dollars of benevolence in Chester county by offering to help in the erection of a science building at Lincoln university, and by authorizing the authorities, had already raised $60,000, of which $12,000 was contributed by graduates of the university, and $40,000 to general education board. Dr. Joseph H. Gelld, president of Delaware school auxiliary, representing Mr. H. Johnson, states that Mr. duffent will give the services of his organization, including architect's fees, catering, representing a cost of $7,500, provided that the Lincoln authorities will raise an additional $15,000 so that a more adequate building can be completed. As a direct result of Mr. dulant's offer, influential parties, whose names will be disclosed later on this annual international $15,000, so that a $75,000 building, or, with the overhead charges, and $25,200 building will be needed and probable growth of the institution for many years to come. The architect of the new building will be J. O. Gettle of Gilbert & Company, and the new owner will be A. J. Taylor. With this expert supervision it is expected that the building will be a model in every aspect and has most of the appliances and equipment. The work is expected to be begun as soon as the detailed plans and specifications are drawn, and soon a deep interest in the education of our people and a part of his educational program in Delaware has been the erection of a number of model buildings at a cost of about one million dollars. The Lincoln authorities are very happy over this realization of their vision, and he has started to raise funds for the necessary equipment of the building. MRS.

It was done in a manner something like the methods of the Klan are said to be reprehensible—though we cannot prove it—its object is perfectly legitimate; it is the supremacy of its race. Every race is superior to every other. But the Negro is a minority here. Therefore he must get out of America. Buy stock in Garvey's steamship line. It will be easier to do is to fight the British, French and Belgian governments for the possession of colonies under their military rule. You can count on them to be must afraid, you must fight the Ku Klux Klan because you would be beaten. The Ku Klux Klan was denounced by the United States, and believed that it habitually terrorized, murdered and burned Negroes, but every denunciation was only turned into an argument to show that the Negro could not be a slave to America on Garvey's proposed steamship line to settle Africa. Call Capitalist a Friend J. A. Hassell of Seattle spoke for laying aside the Negro's claims until "when you have carried out the prosecution of the nation," he instructed a nation in Africa. "Until then," said Hassell, "keep your mouth shut about the Klan. Don't discuss it any more than you have to." He continued. "The only friend you have in the white race is the capitalist, and he is your friend because he uses you to tear down the standards of his own race." J. Thomas of Mobile, Ala., declared that the Klan "is a help to this movement by increasing the membership." The surrender to the Klan became Garvey's lieutenant, while the chief sat silently smiling. One after the other the smaller leaders of the organization went over to Garvey's apparent "treaty" with the Dr. Jay J. Peters of Chicago started his speech as though he meant to bring a new note into the discussion. He pointed out that he curiously smiling face of his chief, Peters vowed his speech around. He told how William Pickens, the Negro author, went to the LaFollette program to see how he resolved denouncing the Klan' and was insulted and turned down by Mr. LaFollette's agents. Peters for Neutrality "When the other fellow holds the marbles and has control, the best thing to do is to get into friendly relations with you can. You can help that to come the Klan for the wrong things it has done. But after a while when we have not our own country and our own battleships we can tell them to go to hell on the Klan, Peters said, "it is the ethical thing." "The Klan," he said, "from the point of view of the white man, is perfectly all right." He ended, "We form a government association, and maintain our neutral position on the Klan issue." D. M. Browning of Florida declared, "The Klan is merely meaning by driving the Negro to thoughts of Africa as the only hope. The Florida's remark, 'I can't afford to be against an organization of that kind and deal' means that I am living" brought a roar of laughter. He continued humbly, "I don't say that we ought to endorse an organization that is oppressing us, but I do say we ought to remain Praises Enemy of Race Fred E. Johnson, president of the Detroit division of the Negro organization, got up and looked at the man whom he not in favor of the Ku Klux Klan, because he is a wolf in sheeps clothing. Later, he said, "I don't want to be with it. It is a friend of the Negro race, because it causes him to get out of his state of lethargy." And he have no fight against him. And they have no fight against us." Other speakers declared that 99 out of every 100 white men look upon the Negro just as the Ku Klux Klan does. The floor by Garvey, to make a notion declaring that "we regard the alleged attitude of the Ku Klux Klan to the men of the white race," that the Negro organization would take a "neutral" position on the Klan and that the only sionation for the Negro men of the white race is the government of our own on African soil." William A. Wallace, Chicago, although willing to surrender in genial swallow such a service resolution as the bishop's. He offered a substitute, condemning the policies and methods of the Klan, but assuring it is "not to take control of this country," but to "return to our God-given country" of Africa. The resolution assured the Klan that it would seek "a man" and thus Mr. Wallace made the surrender of the Negro manhood more object than ever, now came Mr. Garvey into action at last. Citing the words of Wallace's resolution, "to condemn its (the Klan)' brutalities and atrocities as perpetrated upon our Race by its "Now, cannot we find, Mr. Wallace, some language that, or—now, you see, we don't want to get ourselves into trouble, or to do harm." You are assuming that the organization is brutal in its actions against us. Now they claim Garvey then demonstrated that "the Klan question was carried before the highest court in the land, the Unifyment, and the Klan question got an endorsement before the highest legislative body." Said Mr. Garvey: "Now, if you are going to convey that we are going to get into trouble, Now don't let us get into trouble." It all settled down, finally, to Garvey's declaration of every syllable or syllable that the king kleagle would disapprove of, all of the little leaders tumbling over each other to serve and the good people in the organization going to benefit from this organization (the Klan). It is going to drive the Negroes into our organization." Only Freeman L. Martin remained comparatively obdurate, declaring that he "would rather remain silent than to pass a pussyfooting resolution," he did not, if not disgruntled, but the bishop's surrender resolution was passed, and Wallace's pussyfooting resolution was passed. A spectator audibly commented that he thought this the most disgraceful scene that has been written of the Klan, and he never since has a slave kissed the governor, hand between the blows of the whip.

Ted Thompson, by virtue of the Washington, D.C., championship (see story elsewhere in this section), and Tailley Holmes, runner-up, are expected to give Saitch, his year's runner-up for national title, some serious trouble. The West is relying on Dr. Williams of Chicago, who disposed of Richard Hudin in the Prairie club's tournament.

Tate has fought Wills a number of times, and it is sald they are not any too fond of each other, and Bill Tate any too fond of each other, and for this reason Bill jumped at the opportunity to offend the "Brown Panthers" murdered inside right uppercut. It seems though that Bill was unable on a number of occasions to duck himself, but still he is going to teach Luteah how to do Lester Johnson and Jamaica Kid are also doing their share in condition Firpo for his coming tilt.

Both games in an even break in hour final appearance of the season inset the Lincoln Giants, 7-6, while the Brooklynkites took the other. 10-5. Joe Williams was in his form when the Lincolnkites allowed five runs in the first two innings, he went in and held the hard-hitting local team to five scat- tacks in the first inning and the manning seven innings. In the second game he also relieved Hubbard at the end of the seventh innning and the remaining Lincolnkites for the remaining games played August 9. In contrast to the playing of the Lincoln's, Eddie Douglass and his enlisted players played throughout their games behind their pitchers. "Rich" Gee was injured in the second inning of the opening game and Burnett, although not injured, pulled to catch both games. Toward the end of the second he allowed several balls to pass him, which caused at least three runs to be scored. Burnett was in part to an injured arm he received when Thomas spiked him sliding home. Thomas, who used to be a left-handed pitcher, seemed bent on doing further injury to Burnett and attempted to slug "Tex" for putting him out.

Blackman was affected by a throat alment that later developed into complications and caused his death. Although he had been a member of the Black Sox weeks, his condition did not take on an alarming nature until shortly before he was rushed to the hospital. A native of Dallas, Texas, Blackman was dug up by C. I. Taylor in 1914 and remained a member of that team for many years. When he jumped the Negro National league and came to the Black Sox here. The deceased player leaves a memorial at the Indianapolis, and a sister in Detroit. Blackman was regarded as one of the best hot-corner men in the game, and in all departments of the game, his most noteworthy feat achieved here in the East was a home run drive in a game against Cuban Stars in Baltimore, 20, that the Baltimore, June 25, that the Black Sox won, 1 to 0.

O's Canadian San Antonio, Tex., Aug. 12.—Tiger Flowers won the Canadian heavyweight sectional championship here tonight by Oscar Mortimer in four rounds, flooring his big opponent five times for the count of nine and knocking him through the ropes once. Mortimer was counted out on the arena floor outside the ring. He took severe punishment, using seven teeth, and was out to fight by eight. Flowers weighed 161 pounds and Mortimer 178. Flowers left immediately after the bout with his man, Fortune Ohio, where he meets Harry Grel Thursday night, Aug. 21. By GEORGE PULFORD Fremont, Ohio, Aug. 15.—On the night of Aug. 21, if all goes well, one of the longest quests on record in the foot ring. After asking three postponements since signing articles and also insisting that he shall name the referee, World's Middleweight Championship, he must decide whether the Ohio state boxing commission that he must go through with the ten-round no decision match with the boxers of Atlanta as his opponent. Promoter Ray Bronson has completed his large open air arena which has created especially for this great man. He has won 20,000 in advance ticket sales. Bronson anticipates more than a $60,000 house to witness the match that exceeds the middleweight fight ever staged. That it will be fast goes without saying, for the rivals are the fastest men in the world to meet and defeated the best middleweights, light heavies and many of the heavyweights since they became so good that finding opponents for the heavyweights is not easy. Harry Greb won the referee's decision from Tommy Gibbons in Madison Square Garden. He has beaten even fighters of note in his class and has won the boxing commission. After much effort and expense Bronson finally succeeded in signalling Greb. He offered him a big guarantee that he would play the fast southpaw. Then he sent Miller a contract, calling for Flowers to fight for nothing unless the gross proceeds exceeded Mack. Once this happened Flowers will get a percentage of the excess. Miller not only signed the contract, but sent along a certified check to Flowers to guarantee anything at all about the conditions of the bout. All that he asks is a square deal and a chance to start Flowers against the champion, inside the ropes. Atlanta man is very candy. "Flowers will show Greb more gloves than he ever dreamed were made," he says in explaining his win. Flowers said "When the fight is over Flowers will be the world's middleweight champion. He will be the sport's greatest drawing car because that handed Greb a decisive jlicking. Greb never met a man of Flower's speed, or who carried the same attack. I have worked hard for this chance. I have worked hard for the opportunity." Greb and Flowers are to train for ten days before the fight in the city, arranged for both, where the public can watch them. The city is back of the fight, and the arena on the main street, a reminder of old San Francisco days, and it is here that the fight will be the city to see the fight than ever entered the municipal limits before. Homer Smith Gets Victory Over Siki Buffalo, Aug. 11—Homer Smith of Michigan completely outclassed Battling Smith in a 10-4 outburst but here were in.

BROWN National Champion, 1922-23 [Article written exclusively for The Chicago Defender] Dr. O. B. Williams of Chicago can thompson of Washington. Tally Thompson of Washington. Tally Holmes if he plays, Richard Huddin, and John Follard, sider a formidable contender, and John Follard, the dark horse entrant of Phil dephla. Johnny Wikerson, whom Dr. William Simmons, 1821, Dr. McGriff, Oscar Smith of indianapolis. Simona Rhetta and Rev. Walker of Baltimore more and other incorrectly rated first in the race. Holmes, if he plays, whom some consider a formidable contender, and John Pollard, the whooped dark horse entrant of Philadelphia Johnny Witkerson, whom William G. Cai, in 1821, Dr. McGriff, Oscar Smith of Indianapolis, Simon, of Oryx Rhetta and Rev. Walker of Baltimore and other incorrectly rated first in the American Tennis association, will not even be in the running for national honors at Baltimore Aug. 18. The success William two years ago would have been a trumpet for the cut ball game, but he will win this year with the Tilden type of game. It will come as a surprise, and he would have all their for a walkaway for one of their favorites. While I conceded it looked good for Saita a month ago, since I returned West I was the great player of the West in action. Dr. Williams has mastered a forehand drive as deadly as Little Bill and has been final as the Austellian, Gerald Patterson. His finishing volleys at the net are uncanny. His service is excellent, control, and add to these superviative advantages the cunning of the baseball hero, Matthewson. Dr. Williams most恭喜 his possession and generosity which is backed up in addition to long years of tournament play with his early years of baseball pitching. However, the most outstanding advantage he has over a field of mediocre competitors is psychological. He have never known a man with such confidence in his own ability who was more unassuming and so has not been a player in the United States who has set his heart so positively yet so quietly on winning the singles championship his children have come this year and champions at the crucial hour when the supreme moment comes he will step the complete master of situation. The West will continue unbeaten by the South, and as in 1823 when Dr. Williams and Miss Channels first broke their own defeat in their own ballwick. Buddy Jackson and Clem Johnson to Go 12 Rounds New York, Aug. 12—Larry Estridge, a middleweight, scored another victory over Gans in the 10-round semifinals to the Madden-Renault battle, which was staged at the Queensboro arena. Gans weighed 154 pounds and Estridge a pound heavier. The bout went the limit, and might well have been a better fight, but with more rounds, added because in that crowd of more than 18,000 fans, 50 per cent of them were there to see the fight. Estridge was the right winner, but he did not perform as he did in the June battle, although in the first round he was able to beat Leo Plytun's battle, but pure gameness carried Joe through. Estridge scored three knock downs. In the second round he went down, and again in the sixth old veteran was on the canvas from another left hand punch. In the last large applause from the crowd when he refused to take the count. Each time he got up and with solid right hand punches to Larry's midsection the fans to their cells for Joe to keep it up and finish his opponent. PIMPLES CAUSE FOLKS TO SHRINK FROM ATTENTION! PIMPLES CAUSE FOLKS TO SHRINK FROM ATTENTION! Whenever you go out, you can't help but pity the many folks you see out there, who are so shrinking and backward about coming near others where plumpy, blotchy and eczemic skin can be seen. You almost feel like going up to them and telling them that they ought to begin using Black and yellow lotion, so many thousands of happy people are depending on to keep their skin clear, smooth and good to look at. Soap, and lotion are selling at the phenomenal rate of more than two million packages a year, and the fact that they are responsible for this record. The 50c size Ointment contains three times as much as the 50c size. All dealers have with the Ointment and some Adhesive. SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1924 BIRMINGHAM RETURNS TO PLAYBROWNS Play Cleveland During Foster's Absence Joe Bush's Birmingham Black Barons, stung by their last defeat at the hands of Kansas City Monarchs, who have been treating all league clubs rather roughly, comes here to Chicago Saturday to open a four-game series with the Cleveland Browns since last season, that Birmingham has a real good club ball and they also know that Cleveland has bolstered themselves just like Cleveland and Birmingham met was on the Schorling lot, and the Cleveland club handed Captain Joe game to the Birmingham team. The Birmingham team tucked his head and remarked that he hoped he would get another crack at the Ohioans and he has got it. It comes as soon as the game day during the absence of the American Giants, who will be entertaining the Detroit Stars in Detroit or the Stars will be entertaining them. Birmingham comes prepared to win. They are not going back south without some victories and the Cleveland Browns are ready. Referee Puts Scrappers Out of Jersey City Ring Jersey City, Aug. 10—Too much holding, punches sliding around their necks—most of them hitting the air, and other things which indicated a languid performance, caused Jack McCarthy to call the referee (white), one of Leo P. Hynn's battles, to be ejected from the ring and called "no contest" in the ninth session of the scheduled 12-round final basketball game. There was a blow from the fans, which sounded like a mixture of approval and disapproval following the referee's action. There was a lack of vehement in their punching that was not enough to stop them from the bleachers and seats a distance from the ring. Walker Defeats Roscoe Paterson, N. J.

About every three minutes he would sock the old hair on the back of his shoulder, sailing out into the audience. After 10 minutes trying out his left on the dummy bag, the principal part of the afternoon's entertainment, as far as his friends were concerned, Jeff Clark started with Harry. They boxed four fast sessions that were full of action from beginning to the end. The big fellow moved around the room, and then he would work his right uppercut. Occasionally they would clench and Harry would pick Jeff on bodily to show his enormous strength. Harry wanted to go ankle-dead, but Jeff was all in and declined. Battling Owens had his gloves already donned and immediately jumped into the ring. He is a big fellow, weighing around 220 pounds, and he routed. Harry was already warmed up from the pace set by Clark, and was ready for everything Owens had. Owens got in close and pummed Harry with wicked punches. When one hurt, Harry would land a good one on the Owens up. At the last jump of the fourth they were going at a great clip. Wills jumped on the scales and weighed exactly 317½ pounds. He for the fight of his life. His trouble now will be not to go stale. When asked by reporters how his hands remarked, "Nothing wrong so far."

The object of this contest will be to find out who are most popular and the best girls and boys in the club. The contest will be open to all boys and girls between the ages of 1 and 10. The day we begin, ask if the Billikens wanted a beauty contest we have been flooded with mail. We practically every state in the country have come into my office saying that a beauty contest is practically every state in the country. Some, however, were not in favor of a beauty contest. Many of them said they were very happy with the contest, but after counting the votes and letters I found that those in favor of the popular contest; therefore we had to compromise by having a beauty and popularity contest. The winners in the contest will be awarded beautiful prizes. Four prizes will be given to the boys, and one gold and one silver medal to the boys, and one gold and one silver medal to the girls. The future of themselves in the Defender Junior, which is broadcast all over the country, will be a tie duplicate will be given. Now isn't that good? Remember, boys and girls, all that has to be done by the kids who make photos.

Ferrell, Jr. History of League In acting as host of the National Negro Business league Chicago is entertaining one of the foremost agencies working for the advancement of the Race. The organization had its beginning 25 years ago, when Dr. Booker T. Washington, having observed the business of country, called the business men and the Race together in Boston, Mass. The Call The call circulated was as follows: "After careful consideration and consultation with prominent Colored people throughout the country, it has been decided to organize Negro Business League." "The need of an organization that will bring the Colored people together for consultation and to secure information and inspiration from each other has long been felt. Out of this national organization it is expected will grow local business leaders that will address the Negro as a business factor. "Boston has been selected as the place of meeting because of its historic importance, its cool summer climate and general favorable conditions for recreation and new ideas which business men and women will get from a trip to Boston will more than repay them for time and money spent. The date of the meeting will be Thursday and Friday, August 11 and 12, respectively. This is the season when business can be left with least loss. Then, too, nearly all the steamship lines and railroads have reduced their rates to Boston at that time for one fare for the return of the ship. "Every individual engaged in business will be entitled to membership, as far as possible the Colored people in all the cities and towns of the country should take steps at once to organize local business leagues, where no such organization exists, and that these organizations send one or more delegates to represent them. "It is very important that every line of business that any Negro man or woman is engaged in be represented in this manner, it must be seen a great opportunity for us to show the world what progress we have made in business lines since our freedom. "This organization is not in opposition to any other now in existence, but a distinct work that no other organization now in existence can do as well. "Another circular, giving further information as to program and other details of the meeting will be be presented few weeks, persons, whether men or women, interested in the movement, are invited to correspond with The First Meeting The popularity of the organization and the movement asserted itself right from the beginning. In response to the foregoing call, 382 men from the city of Boston and one territory, gathered in the city of Boston and organized the National Negro Business league, with Dr. Booker T. Washington as president; Edward E. Cooper, secretary; Edward D. C. Moore, treasurer; treasurer, Boston, Mass., and T. Thomas Fortune, chairman of the executive committee, New York city. Chicago was represented among the first officers by Mrs. Albertha Moore, vice president, and W. H. Jones, a member of the executive committee. In accepting the presidency of the league, Dr. Washington declared the purpose of the organization to be: "work together annually those of our Rise, to build the branches of business from the humblest to the highest, for the purpose of closer personal acquaintance, of receiving encouragement, inspiration and information from each other, to work together which local business organizations will be formed in all parts of our country, where such organizations can be made to serve the best interests of the Race." This continued Dr. Washington, "does not overlook the fact that more material possessions are not and should not be made the chief end of life, but should be made as a means of aiding us in scouring the land, and of enlarging our opportunities, securing that education and development which enhance our usefulness and produce that tenderness and goodness of heart which will make us for the benefit of our fellowmen for the benefit of our country's highest welfare." A Spirit of Hope The spirit of the opening meeting was one of sincere hope intermingled with strong determination. Speaker J. B. Harrymore, a economic progress of his particular section, these outlines reckoned of a strong economic foundation and bespoke much for the future of the Race along commercial lines. He began the initial meeting, Harry J. Harrymore of the Boston Transcript said editorially of the first meeting: "It pleased me to see you brave the Negro could be, and how patient the Negro could be, and how patient against white oppression, and especially against recent white control." None hope. No one unresolved. The spirit of the whole occasion was directly hopeful. Regarding mankind's need for every other one of progress, the convention listened eagerly to accounts of Negroes, once poor, who had now built houses, bought land, opened places of independent busi- "*** Yet there was scarcely any tendency to indulge in racial self-affirmation. In general the convention occurred in the Negro. Far from that, they said: "Let us look conditions honestly and courageously in the face. Let us say the things that will help our people and things are pleasant or otherwise." The following expression was heard frequently during the two-day session 25 years ago. This organization will be held in an organization of our people 1 The fact that it safeguards the happiness of thousands and gives employment to hundreds of Negro men and women affords Liberty Life Insurance Company of Illinois no small amount of satisfaction.
