THE MOTHER OF THE DOG
The strenuous objection to the wedding of Miss Beatrice Fuller, a 19-year-old white girl of Rockville, Conn., and Clarence Kellam, a dark American, only served to stimulate their determination to follow their own minds. So after due process the couple were married Tuesday by Carl A. Gothring, justice of the peace. Immediately after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Kellam and their mascot, "Pooch," posed for this picture. Mrs. Kellam is a descendant of Nathaniel Lyon, a union general and Connecticut hero in the Civil war, who traced his paternal ancestors to the Mayflower. The couple will start housekeeping quietly upon their return from a brief honeymoon trip. --Photo by International News.
CONGRESSMAN HAMILTON FISH PLEASED WITH PROGRESS OF RACE DURING PAST 65 YEARS
By J. BLAINE POINDEXTER
Addressing a large audience that crowded into the auditorium at Unity hall, 3140 Indiana Ave., Sunday afternoon, under the auspices of the Second and Third ward regular Republican organizations, Congressman Hamilton J. Fish of New York, speaking on Abraham Lincoln, praised the Race for its remarkable advancement in 65 years, commended its great
political strength in Chicago and urged his hearers to keep Martin B. Madden in congress as long as he lives because of what he has done, is doing and will do for the epire Race.
The meeting was presided over by Assistant Corporation Counsel Patrick B. Prescott. Other speakers who preceded Col. Fish with brief addresses were Editor B. S. Abbott, Third Ward Committeeman Oscar DePriest, Col. Otis B. Duncan, commander of the Eighth infantry, and Mrs. Grace Knighten, prominent club and political woman. Albernard Louis B. Anderson, in his characteristic way, introduced the master of ceremonies. Col. Fish, who commanded the 869th infantry, famous New York regiment, during the World war, was reminded of the fact by Mr. Abbott, who told the audience that "you came to hear this man who led black troops across Flanders field. Former President Woodrow Wilson did not want the white and black soldiers to be apart; but God in some way sent Col. Fish to lead the black troops into the fields of battle."
Open West Point Door
He touched briefly on Col. Fish's record in congress, fighting for the rights of the Race as guaranteed under the Constitution. Then, observing before him a group of World war veterans who fought in the Eighth Illinois, Mr. Abbott concluded his remarks with the congressman: "Col. Fish, we are looking to you to see to it that the doors of West Point and Annapolis are opened to the black boys. As an American citizen, it is the right of the black boy to be admitted into West Point, and we are looking to you, Col. Fish, to get him in." Col. Duncan following Mr. Abbott, was 36 years old, led by Col. Fish, was closest to the Rhine river when the armistice was signed. He praised the congressman for sponsoring a bill in congress for the erection of a monument in honor of the famous black soldiers who gave their lives for their country. He also urged that Congressmen Madden and Fish should be sent back to congress. Congressmen included by reminding the audience that: "We have no traitors in our camps. These mothers of ours have never given birth to traitors nor assassinators of presidents." Mr. DePriest said that there were not many outstanding white men left like Col. Fish, William Hole Thompson and Congressman Madden. "When we find men like these we

GIRL'S CHILD
Charge Stirs Citizens of North Carolina
Raleigh, N. C., Feb. 17. That James Davis rather than himself is the father of Miss Ella Evans. 10-day-old illegitimate child, will be the defense of Rev. O. S. Bulloch, pastor of the First Baptist church, it developed at the preliminary hearing in the city courtroom this week.
The hearing, however, was never really started for after an argument between attorneys which lasted about an hour and a half, Magistrate L. M. Waring continued the case until Feb. 24 on the ground that the prosecuting witness, mother of the child, was in no physical condition to appear in court.
Ample evidence of the stir the case has created among the citizens of Raleigh and North Carolina was to seek the conviction which was crowded with many of the outstanding people of the city. Dr. Bulloch is pastor of the largest Baptist church in the South and is leader of the drive for funds being conducted for Shaw university. The charge that he is the father of the illegitimate child of his 18-year-old erstwhile secretary has shocked the sensibilities of the leaders of his

JO BAKER IS ACCLAIMED IN LONDON SHOW
Artists Make Brilliant Performance
London, England, Feb. 17. Under the patronage of the lords and nobles of Westminster, Race artists in Europe appeared in a benefit matinee performance in aid of the mayor of Westminster's flood relief fund at the London Pavilion recently. This array of talent presented on of the most remarkable shows ever seen on the stage in England. There was a star even among this collection of varied and colorful acts, and it was Josephine Baker, who was rushed by airplane from Paris to keep the engagement. It was Miss Baker's first time in England. To express their appreciation of the welcome and hospitality shown them, these artists willingly accepted the invitation of the honorable lord mayor to perform.
Greatest Ever in England
"The matinee was one of the most remarkable performances I have ever seen," writes Hurner Swaffer, who is the most critical reviewer in England. Speaking the exhibition, Swaffer salts.
"For more than three hours Negroes of all kinds had been doing their turns—singing, dancing, playing saxophones, cracking jokes. Some wore stylish morning coats, tall hats and diamond rings. Alberta Hunter came all the way from Monte Carlo to sing the blues.
"In the sepulchre Baker appeared she sat on a grand piano, in a beautiful rose-pink dress and bejeweled sort of nightcap, with long dazzling earrings, and sang 'Turty Little Baby.'"
"Miss Baker, changing her dress for the Charleston, put on an ostrich-feather sort of a skirt and then mude faces and grimaced while she danced, she was and vim, and she can wiggle her body until it looks like breaking."
Artist on Program
George Garner, tenor, of Chicago, U. S. A., rendered several solos. Others taking part included the South Before the War company, under the direction of John Payne; Southern Senanders, from the same company; Hatch and Carpenter, from the Lido club; Miss Hattie King Reavis and Russell and Vivian. Also Jeslie Hutchinson, Southern tithi William Gaund and Eddie Emersonm, Jim and Jack, Royal Hawaiian octet, Scott and Whaley, Leon Abbey and his jazz band, the Three Eldies, Jackson and Blake, Four Harmony Kings, Williams and Taylor and Noble Sissle. Irvan Browning writes that this affair, easily the most brilliant ever staged in London, was supported by every artist in Europe with the exception of Layton and Johnstone. The relief fund drive was instituted after the war, causing thousands of homes to be destroyed and families to be destitute in the Westminster section. Councillor Jacques Abady, the lord mayor of the city, invited the actors to take part in the benefit show.

GOVERNOR IN LAST MINUTE ACTION SAVES ALABAMA "IMBECILE" FROM CHAIR
Montgomery, Ala., Feb. 17.—As Hays Leonard, convicted slayer of Judge Lamar Smith of Wetumpka, sat in the death chamber seven hours before he was condemned to die in the electric chair at Kilby prison, Governor Bibb Graves, acting on the advice of alienists who concluded that the condemned man had the mentality of an S-year-old boy, changed his sentence to life imprisonment. They
governor acted against the recommendation of the state pardon board, which voted two to one against any change in his sentence.
Governor Graves, who for the first time since he has been in office execluted the governor, went to court and elemetry pronounced along with his statement the following words: "We cannot execute an Imehelle."
Governor Acts
The governor's message was telephoned to Kilby prison, halting further preparations for the death of Leonard. Nothing had been fully prepared for the execution. Leonard had been removed from the death cell and placed in a secluded chamber a few feet from the room containing the electric chair. The guards, before news of the governor's decision once the prison, said that the prisoner was bearing up well under the strain. On Thursday he was visited by several ministers. As they left his cell he said that he was ready to die. That same day he was visited by police and first he has been in prison. At his request they entered a claim for his body.
White Accomplice Hung
Judge Lamar was murdered as he lay reading in bed on the night of Aug. 30, 1926. The top of his head was torn away by the discharge of a cutume through an open door, few feet below his in-law. A few days later, his son-in-law, Clyde
Reese Bachelor (white) together with Leonard, a form hand on Bachelor's plantation, were arrested. Later they both confessed.

JUSTIFY ACT OF WIFE FOR KILLING MAN
Mrs. Debow Is Freed in 20 Minutes
Charged with killing the man who enticed her into leaving her husband with whom she was living happily, Mrs. Dorothy Bebow, 22 years old, 464 E. 41st St., went on trial for murder Wednesday morning before a jury in Judge Otto Kerner's courtroom.
Late that afternoon the jury returned a verdict of not guilty after deliberating 29 minutes.
After hearing Mrs. Debow's story from the witness stand, the jurors apparently felt that the young woman was justified in taking the life of his wife, Harriet, whom she stabbed to death Nov. 15 at 512 E. 42d St. They were living together in the home of Mr. and Mrs. James Span.
Self Defense Plea
Through her attorney, Wendell E. Green, Mrs. Debow pleaded self defense. From the witness stand she calmly told a pathetic story of how she had been duped by Harris, who, she said, when he was down and out, had been taken into her home by her husband, Robert Debow, who wanted to befriend him.
According to the young woman's story, the young man happily married. He was in the truckin', business, and in befriending Harris, he gave the latter a job assisting him on his truck.
After a few weeks when Harris and Debow came home together at the end of the day's work, Harris, every evening, would tell Mrs. Debow that her husband had spent the day with another woman.
"He told me that every night," Mrs. Debow said, "until I believed him. Then one evening I accused my husband, quanaled and he denied that he had ever been unfaithful. I didn't believe him so I moved away.
Told Me He Lied
"Harris later joined me." Mrs. Debow said, "and for five weeks we were together at the E. 42d St. address. Then Harris told me he had lied about my husband being with other women, but he threatened to kill me. He returned to my home. I wanted to marry my husband, the young woman continued, "but I was afraid. Harris forbade me to even see him. On the night of the slaying he came in, saw my hat and coat on a chair and accused me of having seen my husband. He began beating me. We went to the room and seized a knife on the presser and stabbed him." Mrs. Debow concluded.
After Hurris' death Mrs. Debow became reconcilled with her husband. He retained counsel to defend her.
PORTER STABS BELL BOY
The Planters hotel, 19 N. Clark St. was the scene of a stabbing affray Monday night when Andrew Donohue, 530 Diversey parkway, bellboy at the hotel, was stabbed in the head with an ice pick by James White, 4305 Forrestville Ave., a porter there. White was captured after he dislaced from the hotel, the blond man he was chased by employees of the hotel, who were joined by witnesses in the street. Questioned at the First district police station, White explained that he acted in self-defense. He said Donohue, in an argument joked bumped with a bucket of ice accidentally, shot him, so he defended himself with the pick. The weapon pierced Donohue's skull and he is in a critical condition at the county hospital.

MAD GUNMAN DIES IN DUEL WITH POLICE
Brave Officers Meet Death in Flat
Determination on the part of a discharged employee of the Omaha Packing company, 2320 S. Halsted St., to get revenge on a former fellow worker led to the slaying of six persons and the wounding of one other last Thursday. Among those killed were two policemen.
The dead are:
Lieut. Edward Murphy, commander of a crime squad from the detective bureau.
Sergt. Eugene Keegan, member of Murphy's squad.
James Ellis, 41, 316 E. 37th St. employee of the Omaha Packing company. Charles Miller, 63, 3221 Lime St. employee of the National Chemical company. Ross Elliott, 27, 1358 S. Peoria St. discharged employee of the packing company, who was slain after he had killed the other four. Nathan Elliott, 131 E. 35th St. brother of the desperate, who was shed with him and died later. The wounded was: Donald McNielly, 3333 W. 110th St. clerk at the packing company. Armed with a German luger automatic Elliott went to the Omaha Packing company plant early Thursday while employees were coming to work at 6:30. He wanted to see James Ellis, an employee, with whom he was said to have had some trouble that resulted in his own discharge from the plant Oct. 5. He blamed Ellis for it. Elliott was waiting when Perry Young, 3143 Ellis Ave., arrived for work. "He asked me if Ellis had come." Young said. "I told him I didn't know. Then he asked if I was coming and I told him I suppose he was. He continued to question me about Ellis until I managed to get away from him." Young said.
The Two Men Quarrei
When Ellis arrived, Elliott approached him. The two walked to the loading platform and were quarrelling, witnesses said. Then Elliott a gun from his pocket and fired. Ellis carried with a bullet through his heart.
The dring threw a throng of other employees coming to work into a panic. They scampered for cover. With his countenance distorted with rage and desperation, Elliott turned toward the gate running. Donald Elliott was the way. The gunman fired. NXelly well wilted in both legs. Charles Miller (white), an aged employee, was coming to work walking toward Elliott. The gunman cursed, waved his weapon and ordered Miller back. The old man turned and fled. He ran a few steps, then in his excitement, wheeled again toward Elliott. A bullet spat the gunman's automatic and Miller dropped dead. Blazing like that of a maniac, Elliott continued to fire until his weapon was empty, but the bullets went wild. A crowd of employees gathered courage and pursued Elliott as he fled out the gate. He escaped. The Canalport police station, responding to the police, turned three squads of officer into the ditch and searched for the killer. Detective reau squads took up the man hunt. Leit. Edward Murphy, one of the star men of the bureau, was assigned to the case. With his squad, he went to Elliott's address at 1358 S. Peoria St. The killer was not there. A couple of his mother's home at 1102 Towsend St. were also in vain. Both places were left gunned by the police.
Following another case, the detectives trailed Elliott to 131 E. 35th St. where his brother, Nathan Elliott, roomed in the third floor apartment with Mrs. Lottie Swigler, Lieutenant Murphy, with his chauffeur, Emil Ltke, and Sergeant Keegan, reached the Swigler apartment about 1:30 p.m.
Leaving the chauffeur downstairs, Murphy and Keegan went up to the apartment. They knocked on the door, were limited by Nathan Elliott, brother of the Elliott, Murphy entered first. Realizing that he was trapped, Ross Elliott, couchback inside, opened fire on the office. Murphy, fatally wounded, emptied his gun at Elliott, then made his way down the hall to the kitchen, where he slumped to the floor.
Landlady's Story
Sergeant Keegan dropped in a from- room with a bullet through his head. He died instantly. Near him fell Elliott, shot through the head and body. His brother, Nathan, was on the leg toes, swagger, who said he was aleep the full room when the firing started, rushed out the back door to call the police when he saw Lieutenant Murphy collapse in the kitchen. Sergt. Samuel Black and Officer John Wright of the Stanton Ave. station were the first to reach the scene. They were followed by every avail- able dreaun and South side stations.

Lauda Mayor Thompson
"I am sorry he is not here so that I might shake his hand," the congressman began, "for he has rendered a great service to the Republican party on the Ohio county bill throughout the United County bill in New York the Colored people have been driven almost out of the Republican party because of the inappreciation shown them," the speaker said. Touching upon the career of Congressman Martin B. Madden of Illinois, Col. Fish asserted that next to the president of the United States, Mr. Madden as chairman of the appropriate powerful man in congress today. The speaker urged the voters of the Second and Third wards to send the Illinois congressman back to congress. "I hope you will pick an able Colored man and send him there," the speaker declared. "There is every reason in the world why a man of the Republican party should represent the 12,000,000 American citizens of Color." Col. Fish added.
Addressing himself to Col. Duncan the speaker said: "We of the $60th do not claim we are the best that name of the men here; but you be one of them—indicating a group of Eighth regiment soldiers—" who served in the old Eighth, compare favorably in courage and bravery on the battle field with any unit in the army. They will go just as far as with the soldier ever born," he maintained.
Lincoln Not Appreciated
Touching upon Lincoln. Col. Fish said: "I have come here today to join with you in paying tribute to America ever had. I feel he is not appreciated now as he was 20 years old. He is used now by politicians the patriotic spirit of Republican votes. Lincoln never would have been president if he had been a Garrison, a Summer or a Lovejoy. His principle were equality and freedom for men. The Colored man never attained this state until Lincoln made it come true. Col. Fish asserted, "Lincoln chattled and he gave them human pouls. He signed the proclamation in 1863, just 65 years ago, and you as a race have made the most remarkable any race in the history of the world." "Sixty-five years ago you had nothing-were homes. Now you own your own homes. Education, etc., has been slanted education far that some of the finest brain in this country is that of your Race. Is there any reason for a Colored congressman asked?"
Referring briefly to the Dyer ant-lynchning bill, which failed to pass the senate because of the opposition of southern senators, Col. Fish asserted that the bill was not enough. The bill has done more to halt lynchning in the South than anything else.
he shearft use it on any mob that sought to lynch a man, black or white.
Harlem Needs Leaders
The speaker deplored the political status of Race citizens in New York. "I wish," he said, "that we had a Reason as you live it in Chicago." He explained the political weakness in Harlem by saying that the leader in the district was a white man who didn't live there. Then the speaker criticized the idea that the tiny of Colored people is not in white leadership, but in your own leadership. And all you want, all you are asking for, is equal justice and opportunity. Only to Mr. Abbott's reference to the admission of our boys to West Point and Annapolis Col. Fish said he believed the time is coming when congressmen will be able to "repress" boys for admittance West Point. "We have to keep them out is discrimination" he said.
This brought the speaker to explain the failure to pass the senate of his house opposed the passage of the bill because, they explained, they did not believe in segregation." Col. Fish said.
The speaker concluded by asserting that now, after fighting a battle against slavery, the Race is engaged in its second battle for economic freedom—the right to live, to protect their families the same as any other

A few minutes later when the police reached the scene they found Mrs. Graham lying in the courtway and she was fractured. She was rushed to Wilson hospital where she died a few hours later.
After his wife's fatal fall, Graham went to the home of Mrs. Marie Johnson, to go to his friend of the family. He told her, Mrs. Johnson said, that his wife had jumped from the window and he asked Mrs. Johnson to go to his house. He was dead. "Mr. Graham told me," Mrs. Johnson related, "that he had an argument with his wife over Daisy Anderson.

At Wilson hospital Mrs. Graham told Mrs. Johnson, that "Daisy was the cause of it."
Attack Theory Advanced

About Cascara
A Doctor Talks
It is unfortunate that many people judge the thoroughness of a laxative by its violence. The salts that rush through the system may not penetrate the form of poisonous matter that has coated the colon. A long list of drugs will "loosen the bowels" but what is the best way to CLEANSE them?
The world's best laxative is one that Mother Nature makes in her own laboratory. It is the bark of a tree, called CASCARA. The Indians used to chew this bark—and reach old age without it. In the last thing there is today, for any system, best for the blood. The most beneficial in its action on the bowels, of anything yet disclosed. For many reasons:
First of all, there is no HABIT

Do you take a keen interest in life and its many activities?
Or do you always feel drowsy, tired and blue? If you lack the "pep" and energy to enjoy life why not follow the example of thousands of other women and tone-up your system with the aid of St.Joseph's G.F.P.?
This rich, vegetable tonic contains Nature's own medicines in the form of roots and herbs which have been used for over a century to invigorate and strengthen women.

fromed from cascara. The bowels are not weakened, but strengthened by its occasional use. The occasions when its use is its greatest and least. Its influence is long-felt. You don't find yourself worse bound up the day following. You do find the bowels more inclined to move of their own volition. The candy cascara does every drug store always has in stock is the ideal form of cascara.

PRESIDENT LITTLE SPEAKS
Ann Arbor, Mich., Feb. 17.—The Negro-Caucasian club and the members of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity are addressed Thursday at the Omega Psi Phi fraternity house by President Chirence Little of the University of Michigan.
Acid Stomach
Hereafter, instead of soda take a little "Phillips Milk of Magnesia" in water any time for indigestion or sour acid, gassy stomach, and relief will come instantly.
For fifty years genuine "Phillips Milk of Magnesia" has been prescribed by physicians because it overcomes three times as much acid in the stomach as a saturated solution of bicarbonate of soda, leaving the stomach empty and gasless. It neutralizes acid fermentations in the bowels and gently urges the souring waste from the system without purging. Besides, it is more effective than upon "Phillips." Twenty-five cent and fifty cent bottles, any drug store, "Milk of Magnesia" has been the U.S. Registered Trade Mark of The University Chemical Co. and its predecessor, Charles H. Phillips, since 1875.

of neuralgia, neuritis, even rheumatism and lumbago! And there’s no

NOTED MUSIC MASTER GIVEN HARMON AWARD
Ovation for Dr. Dett Shared by Mother
Hampton, Va., Feb. 17.—Characterizing him as "a maker of music for all the world," Editor Douglas Gordon of the Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch, a white publication, Sunday at a attending meeting in Ogden hall at the Hampton institute presented Dr. Nathaniel presented of music and director of the school of music of the institute, with the 1927 Harmon award of $400 and a gold medal for his creative achievement in music. Mr. Gordon indicated the changing attitude toward the intelligent young people of the South through stories of his own contracts as music critic and editor.
---
"I am young enough to know that most of the white people in Virginia and here in the South generally know almost nothing of the vast problem with which we of the South are sup- pended, not in whillemud not in long ago I heard a man say, 'Why don't the people of the North let us alone? We are the only people who understand the Negro people.' That man knows the Negro that I knew as a little boy, he does not know the Negro I know now. He has not known Negro. But what does he know of Countee Cullen, James Weldon Johnson, Henry O. Tanner, Ethel Waters and Nathaniel Dett? He knows less, and he is flesh of my flesh and blood of my blood, than men in any other country. He was freed States and I have known that for about five years," he declared.
"I know the truth and the truth has made me free. We in Virginia and of the South in general have closed our eyes and ears and have even closed our minds I fear. The Negro will wish to learn that we nected have learned enough to set the Negro "up" as we call it, because we realize and moon all will realize that the Negro stands for and is a race and not merely a color. Most of the Negro is not susceptible to musical education. We thought such music as the Negro had or could attain must be the gift of God. Then I began to sing the music of Samuel Coleman, Harry T. Burleigh and the poet Paul Lawrence Dunbar" Editor Gordon asserted.
Dr. Dett Responds
"I heard Roland Hayes. I heard the organizations sing which Dr. Dett had trained and was training. Then I knew the truth and the truth was beginning to make me free. I heard Dr. Dett and I knew the tissues and my mind blushed with the density of my ignorance. I know now that the music of the schooled Negro is not Negro music. It is universal music," the speaker concluded. Dr. Dett added to the address of Editor Gordon Hinton in accordance with award, Dr. Dett said, "I stand here, I regret to say, apart from you today. I have a feeling of regret because it seems to me in my fifteen years at Hampton we have always received the best with me that if I receive you also receive, as we always have shared together. It is because you have achieved that I have achieved. I am happy to receive these honors because, manlike. I glory in any honor you give me. I glory in my race and to this great institution I have tried to serve."
Students Present Flowers
Dr. Dett then spoke intimately to his students in the audience, calling to their attention the years of hard work back of perfection in the voice of Harold Hines or in the folloin playing of Mr. Douglas of who public performance is but manifestation. At this point he spoke of his mother, who had traveled from Ontario, Canada, to be present on this occasion. She was assisted to the piano and the plaque. Mrs. Dett said, "Fathers will understand some of my feelings but only mothers will understand fully." She congratulated her son and stayed with him on the platform during the flowers from the Hampton Inn retreat of Rose Mercer Bratcher, soloist of the organization.

FOR REAL INDEPENDENCE
llar
scholar
Infant Care
America celebrates what she chooses to term Independence day. This day, making the data upon which the colonies declared their freedom from Great Britain, July 4 1776, is halted throughout the length and breadth of the land, from New York to the Gulf and from the Atlantic to the Pacific. It is supposed to be a day of freedom—typifying independence. And yet it is not free—a large percentage of the population is not even independent. It seems that this of all days, could be set aside to represent that for which it was originally intended. On that day America could at least make believe that she agrees with the Declaration of Independence.
Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 17, Dr.-Egbert S. Dickerson, 54, of 506 Blackford St., a prominent physician, was killed instantly when his automobile was struck by a passenger train at 13th St. and the Monon railroad crossing. The machine in which the train was struck was ried 50 feet by the railroad engine, Dr. Dickerson was born in Circleville, Ohio, and was a graduate of Willberforce university and of the medical university of Reser university, Cleveland, Ohio. He had practiced here 17 years, coming to this city from Cairo, Ill.

Infant
---
Mothers, you can't start too early to establish a child's sneeze and tranquil disposition. Even an infant can have a happy, freless state of uninterrupted health. What will help do you? A simple, purely vegetable product as old as you are; plain Castoria. A few drops of Castoria will settle all uneasiness in a jiffy. Will dispel colic or ward off constipation; and just as surely check diarrhea. In real sickness, call a physician. Bundle Castoria for those little childish disorders that need nothing more. You need never be afraid to give pure Castoria. It is safe and perfectly harmless, for it contains no paregoric, no opiates, on dope of any kind. At least, this is true of the genuine Flechette doctor—and that is the kind of child you tell your Flechette. Castoria is first for a child. All children love to take it. Delicious tasting, and as good as it tastes. Just look for the Flechette
pendence that "all men are created equal."
As a step in this direction, the Defender suggests that the forthcoming July 4 be made an example of real spirit of independence. Let America host at least one day of Let the "Jim Crow" cars go—remove all signs on transportation—let foreigners and natives allure set aside their discriminatory practices for a day—let the hotels and restaurants accommodate all alike—let segregation and all its attendant evils be abolished. Let the defense day be that in deed as well as in name. If the United States would try this, even if only for a day, it will find that it is not so impossible of accomplishment as it appears.

San Juan, Porto Rico, Feb. 17.—In view of the fact that the United States was celebrating the birthday anniversary of Abraham Lincoln, the president drafted a message in which they urged President Coolidge and the senate of the United States to live up to the ideals set forth by Lincoln.

"Porto Rico demands that the principles involved in these words be applied to our island in the form of a public institution, recommending an aggressive course of action induced by our resident commissioner providing for the election of the governor of Porto Rico by the vote of her people at the 1932 elections and enabling our people to formulate our policies in accordance with several memorials presented to congress by our legislative assembly."

Perhaps you scoursely notice it in the morning, but never cure it. The stomach never cures itself and usually gets worse. Be on your guard then. The safest, surest and easiest way to end indigestion, heartburn or flatulence is to take a little "Pape's Diapease" capsule. It is felt.

Famous Old Recipe for Cough Syrup
Easily and cheaply made at home, but it hone them all for quick results.
Thousands of housewives have found how to save two-thirds of the money usually spent for cough preparations, by using the well-known old recipe for making cough syrup. It is simple and cheap but it has no equal for results. It gives immediate relief, usually stopping an ordinary cough in 24 hours or less.
Give the quiescent of Pinx from any druggist, pour it into a pint bottle, and add plain granulated sugar syrup to make a full pint. If you prefer, use clarified honey, instead of sugar syrup. Either way, it tastes good, keeps perfectly, and lends a family a long time.
It's truly astonishing how quickly it acts, penetrating through every air passage, and rushes the plexum, soothes and heals the membranes, and gradually but surely the annoying throat tickle and dreaded cough disappear entirely, for the chills, hoursness or bronchial asthma. Pinex is a special and highly concentrated compound of genuine Norway pine extract and palatable guatinine for its healing effect on membranes.
To avoid disappointment, ask your drugstret for "2½ ounces of Pinex" with directions, guaranteed to give about the same amount promptly refunded. The Pinex Co., Ft. Wayne, Ind.

Two Quick Tricks Enough
"Often times you will sit down with a trumpet initially with two side tricks in addition to his trump holdings." Whitewater said they are worthy of waiting for that holding he is not bidding his first hand, and they are worth expert of whom I know, that the holding of two trumpets is sufficient for opening bid. A five-card suit headed by a king-facing additional possibility of two trump tricks besides. "Now it works it out. With four probable tricks in my hand, I ask for a bid, and I ask for what experts call the 'probability of play.' The total of four sufficient banks for an opening bid.
Take Out Opening Bids
"these-nally," he continued, "in a 12 out of 20 opening bids were taken out in subsequent bidding, so that the initial 12 out of 20 opening bids were taken out what seems to him a week bld. When I made the same study I also surveyed 12 out of 20 opening bids in New York in which the initial bldder opened with a minor suit deception he was taken out." The bldder was taken out during season. Whitehead explained why two quick tricks are imperative for an opening bld in four seasons. The tendered stubs had shown on an average that there are eight quick tricks in four quick tricks, therefore, mark the average is concerned. If the declared has less than the average, he is forcing his part of a hand that is certain to be inferior.

LAUGHTER AND LOVE
Few women are beautiful while laughing. Often they show too much of their laughter, are bare with uneven or nibbling on the side. They look carefree into it while you look carefully into it while you experiment with your usual laughing or otherwise. If charming, keep it up; if you are not, and fortune. But if otherwise, take heed. The mirrors that does not tear away the plains of appearance of your face in repose allow a moment's bidity to destroy the effect of your otherwise appealing body.

TIMELY TOPICS
Sometimes I marvel at a God,
Who my emotions tuned so fine,
That e'en an outcast poison vine,
Secreted by an old stone wall,
Concealed against the gardener's rcd,
Aroused by my mourning,
I hope the rod may never fall,
For in its genesis divine
I see a beauty there sublime.
Aye! every sense alert in me
A vibrant, piercing, mad'ning rack,
For this same God—HAS MADE ME BLACK.
Why! I can hear the roses sip
Their morning brew from Dawn's pink lip!
How can I then make deaf my car
To racial taunts and hatred's anerer?
If in the meanest weed I see
A pattern of divinity,
How can I ever close my sight
To mackery and color slight?
If I can feast for the beat
Of pregnant nature, 'neath my fact,
What anesthetic must I use
To blunt the pain of long abuse?
When Twilight spin its opal gown
And Night stoops low this robe to do,
Then, with its star-gems lights the gloom
And from its neck suspends the moon;
So thrills me, this most wondrous sight,
That from some pure delight
Too sensitive my heart and brain,
They but intensify my pain.
What is the crime that I have done?
Whose is the sin, must atone?
Am I an ACCIDENT OF BIRTH?
Or just the BUTT OF HEAVEN'S MIRTH?

The color line would overwhelm us with its daily tragedies were it not for its ridiculous inconsistencies. Anyone who is not entirely devoid of a sense of numer must be constrained to laugh at the color line's many incongruities.
We bewail the existence of a color line and then at the first opportunity we proceed to draw the line more tightly and to display more color prejudice than our most blased antagonists.
If one of the opposite race casts their lot with us, do we hang the latch string from the door and display the sign? Not so they notice them. If it is a man, he is condemned as a wastrel. If it is a woman, she is judged a prostitute.
When any two of the opposite races intermarry, instead of elevating our noses, turning on the cold air of our contempt and bombarding them with malicious attacks, we can quail Gaucho with our tools to attempt such an alliance in these benighted states, or they are courageous beyond our comprehension. We choose to think them the latter. We are constrained to believe that in all instances of magnificent courage there is mixed an element of idocy.

Quite the most ridiculous and inconsistent spectacle of colorphobia is to see white ministers, hypocritical followers of the meek and lowly Jesus who entreated all to come unto Him, draw the color line and refuse to sanction an interracial marriage. It would not be wholly without their province, owing to existing conditions, if ministers of both races should warn the church of the danger of interracial marriage, and almost impossible of a happy consumption, but to withhold the sanction of the church, simply because of a difference of race, is disgustingly un-Christian.
We ask that all labor unions, factories and business be opened to us in fair competition, yet when one of our business men employs white help, he is denounced as an "Uncle Tom," or lacking in race pride. How can we hope to break down prejudice if we continue to foster it. It will gnaw our conscience, as the stolen fox gnawed the vitals of the Spartan boys. The Spartan boys do not. Evidently we are not made for the same material as the youthful Spartan, for we are made conspicuous and sometimes ridiculous by the volume of our lamentations.

Evidently we are not made from the same material as the youthful Spartan, for we are made conspicuous and sometimes ridiculous by the volume of our lamentations.
Another ridiculous inconsistency is to see white theatrical managers and producers use imitations to enact race characters and to hear them declare that the imitations are superior to the genuine. When was ever an imitation superior to the genuine?
Many white theatrical managers consider every good-loving Race girl as legitimate prey. They openly sue for her favor. But when a Race boy traveling with a white company or in vaudeville presumes to sue for the favor of a white girl he is discharged and barred from the circuit.

The color line has been defined by some one as a "yellow streak." In sports, labor, business and schools we are often barred, not because of our ineligibility, but by reason of our color. How can superiority be proved and maintained in any one of these except by fair and open competition?
The American white man-boasts his sportsmanship, but the majority arebum sports. Jumping the color line and having surreptitious intercourse with Race women has been and still is one of his favorable diversions. And to facilitate the sport so it can be conducted with the least element of inconvenience and danger of exposure, he passes inter-marriage laws.

PIKE THEATER
By PHIL DORSEY
Mobile. Ala.—Week of Feb. 6 found Bubber Mack and his fast-stepping bunch at the above theater. The South will be wonderful time in the South this winter, from looks of things yours truly will remain here for a while. The many lovers of good singing, graceful dances and laugh-provoking comedians, would love their singing and dancing chorus, would Mack's splendid aggregation of burnt cork artists, who have a national reputation as entertainers par excellence. He carries a company of 18 Mack's and a red hot 13-piece orchestra.
This season's offering is said to be a happy blending of the sweet- throated singers, graceful and skilful dancers and all the glamor and charm of the minstrelty of our foreparents and of the modern minstrel novelties, ensembles surprises, with plenty of jazz, now the popular favorite in Old Glory's musical circles, as the leading spirit Holcamp's bunch includes many old favorite, many new ones, comedians and funmakers of rlb-breaking callicaler, nimble-footed dancers, formations, very brilliant array of burnt cork artists ever offered in minstrelsy since the writer reached here.
The chorus consists of Helen Cox, Goldie Schroff, Almaena Carman, Sarah Denny, Alice Lane, Earline Palmey and Nellie Worthy. The chorus consists of Arthur Lane, Wickie Payne and Bob McCormack. The Mack is a wonderful blues singer, Alvin Walker is a straight man. The orchestra consists of Harold Coleman, clarinet and leader; Lille Brown, violinist; Arthur Lane, drums; Stanley Bailey, tuba; George Thayer, harbortone; Rubber Mack, cornet; Wiggie Wilson, bassoon; George Mack, clarinet and saxophone; Mel Molek, clarinet and saxophone; Edmond Parmley, tuba; Doc Parmley, cornet, and Jasper Jones trombone. This outfit plays Pensacola this week. The house was packed and jammed all the time. Richard Scott, get in touch with George Steele at once. The writer has accepted the position as press representative at this theater and he wants all his fellow comedians to remember and not bring any smut here. This week finds Irene Wiley and her fast-stepping bunch at our stage manager. How did you find things in the capital city, Evelyn?
Well, it won't be long now before the big tricks will open their 1928 season under the big white tops. Annie W. Wagner, the G. W. agent here, has been nicknamed "Mobile Butter and Egg Man." The writer was proud to shake hands with quite a few Elks on Bubber Mack's show. The writer attended a concert by the City Elks lodge 644 and all had a wonderful time. Music was furnished by Holman's Jazz Hounds. The W. G. W. is sold weekly at Art Barber Shop, 807 Davis Ave. The theater has two befriends in and out of the office and the malman will find yours truly at Pike theater, Mobile, Ala.
BESSIE BROWN HITS

lowing among America's lovers of popular music. We hope they land in Chicago this trip as we like them immensely.
**Pop Haire Dies**
This will come as ad news to the musestub. Pop Haire is dead and the bunch in Chicago is mourning his passing. It all happened in a few minutes. Pope was the father of the bunch in Chicago and was bass player in the Vendone theater oratorio. The job he held since the theater was his. He will be last Monday morning about 10 a.m. when just about ready to play a breakfast dance engagement. Acute indigestion is attributed to the cause of his death. He died before medical aid could be summoned. Details of the funeral will be given in the next issue.
**Jackie Wright**
Jackie Wright, the pianist, wants the bunch to know that she will take her small at 1332 King Id., Jacksonville. Fla. Ethelme Jordan and Hertle Dukes, write.

Trombonist Leaves Circus
H. C. Johnson, well-known trombonist, has closed on Sparks circus and is now playing with Cuthbert's orchestra, working in and around Brunswick, Ga. Mall will reach him at 1235 Gloucester St. above town.
LOCAL NOTES
Verona Biggs, president of local 205, has been on the sick list the past week, but is able to be up and around. He was forced to lay off the job for few nights. This man is one of the busiest in the music game. He gets calls at all hours of the night from the boys who depend upon him to settle their disputes. Mr. Biggs truly has a hard job, but he does it with a smile.
Clifford King and his orchestra are still the big noise on the West side, where they are playing at Harmon's Dreamland. In the band are all youngsters who are full of pep and anxious to make good.
Louis Armstrong and Darnell Howard are now playing with Clarence Jones and his Metropolitan theater orchestra, replacing Billy Page and a cornet player whose name I do not remember. Arthur Singleton is beat-

counted on one hand who can really give the proper organ service in the theater. We have plenty of theoretical organists who confine their activities to the concert and church and who have had extensive training on instrument, but have neglected to get the practical training that is necessary for the theater. The time is not too late; there is going to be a national demand for popular organists—those who can play a variety program and can motion pictures. It would be ad- ditional for the organists to begin studying the practical end of organ playing.
Fine Organists
Summy Williams, now playing at the Regal theater, Chicago, is one of the finest players of the organ in the country. He is in great demand among the wealthy element, having been employed at the Chicago Hiding Place in Chicago, a gold coast elite. Summy knows the organ and can execute upon the four manual instrument with great precision, he is a creator of tricks and in tone coupling he is an artist. Ulysses Chamberlain, a young gentleman from New York, is also associate organist of Regal Theater, too, is an accomplished player, he is a library stored in his memory. It is a rare treat to hear him characterize musically a picture. Still in New York is "Pats" Waller, who came to Chicago several months ago and electrified the theatergoers. He played just two weeks at the Vendome theater. When he left the Chicago groove, he came to Sammy Williams and Ulysses Chamberlain.
Many Claimants
We have among us many claimants of pipe organ efficiency. They all think they know the organ and will give the average person an argument as to their skilled efficiency. As a result, in our respective callings, none of us ever try to visionize ourselves or try to see ourselves as others see us. To this element of organists I might say: Visit the popular picture houses, listen very attentively to the organists, remember what you have seen and practice hard. You all will come on out top if the good are in you. Don't allow your friends to flatter out on top if the goods are in you. have the goods and do not try to sell your talent until you are perfected.
Wm. A. Sykes
Wm. A Sykes, director of the music conservatory of Wilberforce university, is quite prominent in concert circles. Quite accomplished is this master organist. He has served many prominent colleges and schools. At the Wilberforce school he is well rated in this capacity. Aside from his organ ability, he is a first-class music arranger and is very capable along these lines. He is master of a wide variety of music. Windy City would be pleased in the near future of seeing and hearing this accomplished musician.
Ashton Stevens Says
The famous dramatic critic, Ashton Stevens, paid a visit last week to the new Regal theater, Chicago. The next morning he came out with an article lauding the work of Fess Williams and the excellent playing of the stage orchestra in show presenters from Stevens and the orchestra is about as salty as Whiteness and a great deal better than anything of its kind in the Loop district of Chicago. This compliment coming from one of the world's famous critics means something. It may open a broader field for our Race musicians. Orchestras today built just like a building. If you use poor material the building will eventually sag and will not qualify with the best. The same applies to orchestras. They must be made up of the proper timber and properly commanded by an efficient instructor. We thank Mr. Stevens for his generosity, the talent he and our on trying to improve and not stop still because he paid us such a high compliment.
Andrew Rosmond
Andrew Rosmond recently returned from Paris and Berlin and made quite a reputation for himself while over there. He wants the musician bunch to know that he is back in the good old U. S. A. to stay and that mall will reach him at 65 Broadway, New York.
The Green Mill Band
This writer is getting together an orchestra of 12 musicians who will open on or about Feb. 25 at Green Mill Gardens, Chicago. Martin Paley, who built the Cafe De Paris, will be the managing director and Lawrence Deas will produce the floor shows. Both orchestra and show will be race artists. The Green Mill has had only one Rue orchestra during its regime and has been the target of about six years ago with the "Plantation Days" show and ever since white units have held the job. The Green Mill is on the far North side and in the heart of the Gold Const district. Our musicians should remember that they will be watched and criticized. If you be careful of your conduct in the place and out of it, you will be surprised but if you pull some of the nasty tricks attributed to our gang, the job will not last long for you.
Hilbert Stewart III
Hilbert Stewart, assistant organist of the Metropolitan theater, Chicago, has been confined to the hospital for the past week. At this writing he is slowly improving and is expected to be up and about in a few days. Let's hope for the gentlemanly musician's early recovery.
Fess Williams
Chicago is beginning to like Fess Williams real well. He has grown on the folks out this way. They have learned to understand Fess better; they are gradually falling to his ways and today reflects a brilliant future. He has learned to head a stage jazz band, taking the destiny of its success in his own hands. Fess can sing, talk and dance and with his unusual educational attainments he is the right man in the right place. All the knockers, mostly musicians who are not jazzists, might as well take low. Fess Williams is made and is here to stay for a long, long while.
Fletcher Henderson Gang
The rumor is alive in Chicago that Fletcher Henderson and his gang will soon embark on another tour. This popular musical organization has struck gold and have an untold fol-

Pittsburgh, Pa.—The Whitman sisters gang opened Feb. 8 at the Elmore-theater. Although the weather has been very bad with rain and a little snow, they are going along with that. They know that a performer's time should be limited to a certain time and when that time is up, if he or she has been a good and reliable person, their employer should recommend them to some other good show. They are both musicians who have held jobs so long they feel that they are the sole owners of the company they are with. And they do everything but fire the boss. Anyone capable of holding a position for a period of six months should be hired, and why think that you have half interest in the company because you have held your position that length of time.

COAST DOPE
They overlook the vast army who struggle year in and year out, attaining only mediocre success, some of whom fail to gain the goal they started out to attain. But clever and talented just the same, they will fail to realize that the actor works except their immediate community. They do not know the inside* dope on theatricals (and your audience) who are blased, prejudiced point of view, and fail to support the artist on account of what some one else might coined the phrase: "Oh, justice, when expelled from other habitations make this thy dwelling place." And they are "in our hearts." No other emotion is quite as uplifting as justice, bless it be love. And the two of us, the public does not know that the powers that be in the show business are very stingy with their favors, and the deserving that they give the plums.
Money, graft and selfish motives have always played an important part in the show business and always have been the game any length of time know that the ofay is as jealous of us and will allow only a few to reach the heights. There should be some way to make the Race public understand the necessity of knowing his artists and build their esteem at least morally, if in no other way. There are enough Race men of means Angeles do get together and build his estate together, but no, it was left to the ofay to build one (The Lincoln) and reap the golden harvest. They say that a man must win a great honor, except in his own country.
But I refute many old-time sayings, and wish to go on record, as he was coming a time in Los Angeles, Cullf. when the Race people will either go it may be years and years, but it is worth watching. Summing up, I must we must an example for others to follow, and we must have more co-operate with the guard our actions as jealously as a miser guards his gold. Improve our minds, look around us and we must less and less listen more. I wouldn't give the snap of a finger for a man or his own opinion. I wouldn't give his or her own opinion. Don't sing the other fellow; learn for yourself. Read them and try to figure life in numbers.
I asked a performer if he ever read the American Mercury and he told me that he was not interested in the Literary Digest, Saturday Evening Post and a few other simple, but effective periodicals and the anthology of the latter. This particular poem's reading is the newspaper, and only the sporting page of that. Just a sample of the thing that hoots us back as a group, and that will still argue current events and make themselves generally ridiculous to the edification of the ofay. I hope and wish that it will always ways before it is everlastingly too late. And they wonder why they are not a success. "Uncle Tons," face-disguise to the Race.
This week finds Johnson and Brown in the back row. Johnson, Compton, Calif.; Mission Court, Fullerton, Calif.; and Globe, San Pedro, the world's middleweight race. his party at the Plantation cafe on the left, and on black bottom.

Traveling south with theatrical companies has been rid of many of its discomforts and humiliations. Visions of the small, evil-smelling, overcrowded, "Jim Crow" departments need no longer deter performers from the theater, and the companies are properly housed. Passenger agents for the different railroad companies make arrangements for the movement and accommodation of the company. Managers of the houses also interest themselves and see that the companies are properly housed. Passenger agents for the different railroad companies traveling over the circuit pay thousands of dollars to the railroads for transportation. Any manager who would not see that the companies playing his theater were given ample and comfortable accommodations by the railroads would be derelict in his duty towards the companies and all others allied with the theatrical profession.

Sam E. Reevin, secretary and treasurer of the T. O. B. A., is such a regular fellow, a square shooter and so easy to do business with that we regret sincerely to wish him a Chattanooga Crow's accommodations extended to the Race people of Chattanooga by the white theaters. They will not support the Liberty theater in sufficient numbers to make it profitable for the high school audience to the "Jim Crow" just so long will it be inflicted upon us. We are too inclined to evade personal responsibility. "What can I do? I do you. Ask. We can speak only for ourselves. We have made a solemn pledge to ourselves never to submit to the Jim Crow" excuse under circumstances that make it impossible to avoid it. You can do the same.

His present engagements are with theaters in Paris, New York and Seventh Ave. He has numerous offers that will keep him abroad indefinitely should he accept them. He is rather inclined to come home for a short visit and then return to his work abroad. He writes that he will be able to work in Paris, Paris, Josephine is still the rage, contrary reports notwithstanding. Johnny expresses the hope that All Race nets that come to Paris will so conduct themselves that they will not lose the respect and sanction of the dangerous Paris. The Harmony Kings are still going strong. These gentlemen are a credit to their Race and profession. May they have continued success.

Tiger's Brother
Loses 10-Round
Bout to Tanner
Macon, Ga. Feb. 11—A miniature Tiger Flowers shuttled about the ring last night at the Douglas theater, where the lighting like left spasmodically at his larger opponent, and lost the decision. Texas Tanner battled his way to the victory, with Atlanta middleweight, and brother of the late Tiger in a fairly interesting bout that went 10 rounds. Tanner appeared to be a trifle wary of the Tiger, but first two rounds and fought carefully. The magic name of Flowers seemed to have cast a spell over him, but once he had found the blow he had found that the blow was no more devastating than had his opponent been named Smith, Brown or Jones, he pushed the right for the rejection. He earned a victory by a safe margin. Flowers was clever but did not appear to be in condition to play in the next round, the scrimmer, who answers to the name of Texas, kept boring in and failing away. No great damage was done by it, but it was easily Tanner's right.
in the seminal Young Minims of Milledgeville lost a close decision to win the game, and the terror. The crowd booed the decision, although Milims hardly landed a half dozen smashes throughout the fight. The team never was sufficient to have Jackson in a way for two rounds. Arlipshi Joe Baker sailed to defeat the team, and the ring from Baker's corner signifying that the flyer was ready to go to his hangar for repairs. Battling the team, he earned a victory through his anti-aircraft-like punches to the Airship boy's anatomy. The kid Thomas of Tindall field defeated Kid Scoble, winning the decision in four rounds.

PART 1-PAGE 8
By FRANK A. YOUNG
Harry Dillon, so-called Canadian light heavyweight (Larry Gaines claims the same title),
stopped Roleaux Saguero,
Cuban battler, in the main bout of Mique Malloy's White City show Monday night after 25 seconds of fighting in the seventh round.
That is, Rochelle Jack Helmle stopped the show after bad luck in Cuba, but the water bucket and had him hopelessly out, so much so that the towel should have been tossed into the ring in the sixth stanza, but Roleaux seconds were too dumb, and the unreliable performance, but it was the best he could.
He was slow as most left handers are with the possible exception of the Tiger Floweres and a couple of others.
Roleaux gave him a boxing lesson and made a punching bag out of Saguero's head.
The Cuban got socked a vicious right on the jaw which was one of the dozen blows landed in round one of the fists. Dillon made his attack from the Islander's left and worked his way in masterfully to such an extent that Holeaux couldn't get his right start but once and that was in the fifth blow. He was better and from then on the Canadian doing a Dave Shade duck. In the fifth the Cuban smacked Dillon once and stung him a little, but then he blew a blow of blows that brought blood flowing from the mouth of his opponent. Harry went breezing along in championship style, carefully watching Saguero's left. In the third Dillon dropped the Cuban, who took the count of two and came up, only to reeve a shower of blows that would have put the average fighter out for good. The Canadian mixed boxing with the Cuban, who was boxing on the Cuban's head and then changing to bang away at his midsection.
In the fourth and fifth Dillon rushed his man to the ropes and pummeled the head and body, and only the Cuban's ability to "take punishment" was the redeeming feature of the BETTIM. He backed the Cuban around the ring in the sixth, then shot a right to the jaw and Roleux unwillingly sat down on the canvas while Timekeeper Paul Beeler and Referee Helen counted all the came up, only to take more punishment as he was "out on his feet." Another right sent him down again, this time for the count of five when the gong sounded ending the roar. It was evident to all present that the Cuban had gone by-bye, but his seconds sent him out in round seven for what nobody knows unless they were clamming for a roar.
Another right connected with Saguaro's jaw and the Cuban hung on a drowning man, but after being put up, he couldn't get out of the way of another right which sent him to the ropes and he tumbled to the floor. Helen stepped between the fighters as Roberto, the Cuban, stood to stand, but was pushed into his corner by the referee. Then after the fight had been stopped the seconds woke up and tossed the towel in. Larry Johnson, the California light heavyweight, under the management of Frank Itson, looked 50 per cent better than he did in his last start but he was still hitting his deadly right into play on the cranium of Young Dennis, who has just blossomed out of the ranks of the amateurs. The knives halls from Philadelphia, took several of these blows when like a bolt out of the sky Larry brought his right into play, but this time it traveled upward until it met Dennis's referee Reface J Heimen stopped the bout.
A half bucketful of cold water brought Mister Dennis' thinking faculties back somewhat and he then lost the bounce of the technical knuckles. Otherwise the easterner didn't know what it was all about.
Sam Curtis won a six-round bout from Bad Kerns, although Bad took it too hard and lost the wicked right into play. Both weighed around 150.
Donnie Dundee of Omaha got a draw with Johnny Dolceway of St. Louis, and the judges nod in a six-round over Matty Matthews of Kensha. Wis.
The opening seto was a victory for Geno Pine, a light-shinned Cuban, in the flyweight division.
About 3,000 were out, which pleased the promoter, who announces his next show which is one of the best cards presented recently. Red Ubhan, who won the singles, Langford, gets a crack at Del Fontaine, who has been making a lot of wrist cracks that he can beat Red, and Red has been riled up about it. He has won 10 rounds and should be a bumblebee.

Creed Hubbard and Specks Moton Lead Harlem Big 5 to Victory Over Baltimore
Baltimore, Md., Feb. 8.—Led by Creed Hubbard and Specks Moton, the Harlem Big Five of New York city defeated the Baltimore Elks, to 34, in a hot basketball game.
With the score 34 to 21 against the New Yorkers, Hubbard took the tap and gave the ball one long heave and took the ball from him, bringing the visitor's tail to 33. The Elks gained possession of the ball for the toss-up and started a quick passing game, stalling for the whistle, but Garcia intercepted a heap and the locals charged Moton, who wigged his way clear and going away from the basket at top speed shifted the ball to his left hand and tossed it to the crowd, the most remarkable shot ever seen here. The ball sailed right through and the New York five walked off the floor victors as the timer's whistle ended the game 10 second inters. The visitors a big hand, for their rally was the gamerest ever witnessed here.

FLOWERS IS BIG SURPRISE TO HUB FANS
Bruce Beats Honey Boy Finnegan
By C. ELLIOTT FREMAN JR.
Boston, Mass. Feb. 9-STIRING, shaking rally in the last three weeks of the weight champions contender from New Rochelle, N. Y., defeated Dick Honeyboy Flinnegan, the pride of Greater Boston and holder of the New Eagles title. He approached approximately twelve thousand fans at Mechanic building tonight.
Flowers was a 5 to 1 underdog, and his victory was a great surprise to old many thousands who jammed the man that Honeyboy was supposed to be. As Flowers flashed his great rally and swept the popular idol around the ring before the blasting fury of the crowd, which last three rounds the crowd, which seemed to turn from the little white boy from Dorschelle. For the first time in his life Honeyboy heard he was bound for his holding tactics, but he was holding on for dear life itself.
Honeyboy won the first round by a slight margin because Flowers was thinself to Finnegan's southpaw style. Flowers out in front by a small margin, while the third and fourth were bruce out in front by a Flowers still seemed to be puzzled by the style of Finnegan. Flowers carried his left shoulder high. He is all arms bent with his chin is buried out of sight in his hip. The fifth round found Bruce tearling in muddy. He let loose a terrific bruce of punches and a solid right to the left. He was burning in Finnegan did not like this and got fighting mad, walking in with fire in his eyes. Bruce snapped a right to the left, and he blows, playing all the time in Honeyboy's eyes died out in blow. The sixth round found both fighters taking it easy, with Bruce hitting him. He blows, playing all the time in the body. Finnegan was trying in vain to get his famous righ jabs on Bruce's chin. Bruce on his lights in the seventh sound. He had weakened Finnegan. He pumped right handers into the white boy's body. Once in a while he would let a child play. This round was Flowers by a mile.
Finnegan made a try for the eighth round, but only received a boxing lesson from the boy from the town manager, and he won the ninth and tenth rounds. Finnegan hitting the white boy at will. In the final round Honeyboy was on for dear life, and was savely hit by the boy to be a knock-out by the final bell. After the fight Finnegan handlers claimed a fractured knuckle. Honeyboy, being the favorite, received a punch, the punishment, white Bruce, the winner, and 600. Finnegan weighted 1334 pounds, against Bruce's 1342 pounds.

Cincinnati, Feb. 15.—In a close and exciting race the teams of the Midwestern Basketball league are coming into the stretch, with Muncie, Ind., Monarcha and Cincinnati Comet tied for the lead, but may upset them. We have proved to be the class of the league and from all indications the right for the championship will be seen them, although one of the other teams may upset them. We will spill one of the leaders from the top position.
Muncie has a really first-class assignment, and we will strongly in the preseason do well, has fought her way to the front and will stand considerable punishment before she is dislodged from that position. We will expectations and has flashed to the full team. Her defenses on the road were due principally to the inability of several of her players to leave home, but the team will be the best of the Comets is not to be denied.
The battle for undisputed possession of first place will come off Friday as Hubbard brings his fighting crew into the Hoosier city. That the game will go to a light from start to finish is a difficult proposition, and the difficult proposition forecasting the winner. More than likely the winner of Friday night's game will win the western title and the right to win the league in the American championship series.
Obviously, a team that is just about the equit of the league leaders, her loss of four games is unaccountable when one knows the strength and smoothness of the Big Five team, and disappointments, but may be the teams to upset the Comets and the Monarchs and spoil the dope. Fortunately, although her team shows considerable promise for next season.
Commissioner DeHart Hubbard was forced to suspend the Columbus and New York teams in the contract. He regretted that this action was necessary, but could do so elsewhere in the circumstances. This action leaves the league with six active teams.

NOTHING anti-climate has occurred during the past week in the conference basketball firmament. Tuskegee suddenly came back to life and presented Talebaurea a brace of stinging defeats. The Tuskegee team is not an Alabama quantity in those parts as she has not played a single one of the Atlanta teams. These two games proved to be the only action from a conference standpoint that Alabama saw during the week. We had noted the absence of the Robinson's name from the Tuskegee lineup, and it was only recently that we discovered that the old boy was still hammered by injuries sustained in the Tuskegee-Alaabama football game in December.

TENNESSEE STATE invaded Atlanta during the week and departed with the uncomfortable sting of three successive defeats administratively. The unfortunate state five were very proficient in the art of shooting, but seemed to be a shade off when it came to the defense, especially these boys well in the primary ruliments of the game, but any team that comes to Atlanta will find it a challenge. The conference teams here. Hopson at forward for the staters displayed some of the finest handling of a ball against the Chark game he rang up ten baskets desuite the fact that he had the use of only one eye. An injury sustained by one of his eyes necessitated a bangle that obstructed vision completely.
CLARK is still streaking the conference with her smoke and during the week extended her winning streak to nine straight games over conference Voes. Tennessee was the first team to basket to the Clark basket slingers in form and rang basket after basket. Dean Calbert, whom all the conference mentors respect as a combination conference coach, said the Tennessee boys found it hard to register many crisp shots. Most of their baskets were of the long looping variety. The Morehouse team had already smothered Tennessee in a game, but the baskets were hugely entertained. Tennessee defeated Knoxville in a brace of games earlier in the week and had contemplated playing Fisk, but it is reported that Fisk refuses to play and Tennessee refuses to play a representative conference member. Fisk played Alabama and it is a fact that Alabama and Tennessee rank on a par almost as regards curriculum and so forth.
LAST week we talked about the possibilities of fostering freshman teams in the conference next fall.
We see no reason why this movement not be construed as by every institution it would serve to improve the grade of ball played in the conference. Each school could schedule five games with other conference freshman teams. These teams would be recruited in such a way that the fresh team would be playing at home when the varsity eleven is away, thus providing the institution with some sort of amusement each year. It should it mature the southern conference would stand as the apotheosis of Race athletic organization throughout the country. The basketball season is almost over and right now the teams are rated like this:
| | W | L | Pct |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Clark | 3 | 1 | .900 |

OWNERS MEET TUESDAY AT PHILADELPHIA
Isaac Nutter to Lead Easterners Again
Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 15.—A joint meeting of the club owners of the Negro National league and the Eastern Colored league will take place at noon Tuesday at the Catherine St. Y. M. C. A., Judge William C. Hueston of Gary, Ind., president of the western circuit, an Attorney Isaac Nutter of Atlantic City, N. J., president of the eastern circuit, will attend the meeting.
The owners of the clubs in the West will attend enmuse with the possible exception of William E. Trimble of Princeton, who finds business at the present time and has asked Harry Schoir of Gary, secretary to Judge Hueston, to act as his American Giants of Chicago, whom he lectured the Atlantic City Chathamchs for the world series title after a pro-banned struggle, some of the attirions which will get gired out at this meeting.
Among one of the many things to be taken up at the joint session is the playing of the world series games. Among the many games we have found the present arrangement unfinancial to have the series played one year (all of the games) in the playoffs, two years in the year all of the games in the West or in view which thus saving the round trip rail board, board and room for about 20 men. That alone plus advertising would save the series, especially if the series ended in 1927 when threatening rain kept down the crowd in Chicago on both Saturday and Sunday and again a heavy downpour of rain spoiled things for the players. And he liked it because he was to be called off there altogether on that day. The discontinuance of a publicity each league game the club responsible for setting newspapers all games and material necessary to keep the league going will be taken up by both leagues. Among other things are the Montreal
McDonald, pitcher for the American Giants, who lives in this city, wants to remain East and is seeking his release or to be trained to the Hillside offence. The Eastern league in a closed session will act on several things. Many fans in this section of the country believe the Eastern league is better in Giants back in it. However, just what James Keenan, owner, thinks is not known. An effort to get in touch with him at his 135th st. office is thought, however, that Keenan will be glad to get back into the league even if he is final and is forced to return Montalvo, Gardner and that his overloaded stats and the fact that he is a bit steamed in this day and time.
WESTERN CIRCUIT SET
Gary, Ind., Feb. 14—Judge William C. Hueston, president of the Ngoe Groupe, enough today to give an inter-entry to the Chicago defender's sport editor in which he said that the league in the West was in better financial shape than ever before in its entire history. The able Indiana jurist has just returned from a trip to both Detroit and Memphis and stated that both would have teams in the circuit.
A number of trades are expected to take place before the season opens. All weak clubs will be strengthened.
The Kansas City Monarchs have notified and received permission from the president of the league to play in the South and train at Hot Springs, Ark.
The judge leaves on the Broadway limited Tuesday noon for Philadelphia to be well attentive to the point of being held out of the courts and take up important matters regarding the world series play.
Harry Sinclair, secretary to the president of the league, was proxy for William E. Trubble of the American Giants of Chicago.
NUTTER RE-ELECTED
Philadelphia, Feb. 11—The Eastern league mugel held their first session since the close of the past season at the Philadelphia City. In ad hoc form, the C.I.A. Secretary-Treasurer Ed Boken, the following clubs were represented: Cuban Stars, Alejandro Pompey; Blackout Sox, George Bosse; Baltimore Orioles, Joe Madden; Strong; Hibiscule Glants, Chile Freeman; Bacharch Glants, Jon Jackson. Colonel Strothers, the porty owner of the Harrisburg Glants, was also named the Nutter, the Atlantic City; attorney who guided the destinies of the loop during the past season, was re-elected for a term of another year.
