Dixie's "Lily - Whites" Start Trouble
Washington, D. C., March 30.
—A fight to the finish between "lily whites" and Race Republicans was indicated by Perry W. Howard. Republican national committeeman for Mississippi, upon his return here from Jackson, Miss., last Monday.
Mr. Howard indicates that a coalition of renegade Democrats and lily white Republicans are making concerted effort to eliminate Race Republicans from party councils.
This movement, as he views it, is not confined to the state of Georgia and Mississippi, but comprises the whole South. It is being aided and abetted, he thinks, by a class of northern Republicans who believe the Race should remain a follower in the ranks of the Republican party.
Would Eliminate Race
The question of supporting candidates for the Republican nomination is inconsequential at this time, Mr. Howard has decided. He believes that stubborn resistance should be made to the efforts of the lily whites to nominate the councils of the Republican party.
"The present concerted lily white movement," Mr. Howard said, "is the most suspicious and imminible movement of its kind ever attempted by those who feel that the race should not be permitted to exercise its political power armored and to participate in the councils of the Republican party.
"It is not confined to any two or three southern states, but embraces the whole South and seems to have the approval of a few northerners high in the councils of the Republican party. In fact, it is a coalition of white Republicans, who pretend that they want two militant political parties in the South as a campground to gain control of federal patronage.
"Efforts have been made to browbeat, intimidate and even buy me to lay down as the party leader in my state. I have stood steadfast and carried the resilient Republican organization into suit to the supreme court of my state, where I am confident we will win."
To Meet at Jackson
In Jackson, Miss., last Saturday the Republican state committee met and issued a call for a state convention to be held there on April 18 for the purpose of selecting Celegates to the Republican national convention in Kansas City, Mo., June 12. This is the first time the state convention. The first call was for convention to have been held on March 14. George W. Sheldon, former governor of Nebraska, and ten other white whites obtained an injunction from Chancellor T. Price Dale at Hattiesburg, Miss., on the ground that the call did not conform surely with the Mississippi primacy law. The Hattiesburg court took an appeal to the state supreme court. Last Saturday the question of advancing the appeal for an immediate hearing was argued in the supreme court. Monday the court decided to hear arguments in the case on April 28. Incidentally the leading counsel the Howard organization is J. Morrow, the supreme court and now law partner of W. Calvin Wells, chairman of the Democratic state committee. Judge Stevens contends that Chancellor Dale fired in granting the injunction. He declares that the court had no jurisdiction under the law, the things complained of being party af-
Sets Bad Precedent
"If 11 white men can enjoy the Republican party," says Judge Stevens, "then 11 Negroes can enjoy the whole Democratic party, under the law." The injunction, he states, sets up a very dangerous precedent for the South. The Howard organization is recognized by Chairman William M. Butler of the Republican national committee as the only regular Republican party in Mississippi. Mr. Howard has a letter from Chairman Butler to that secretary. Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover, who is a leading candidate for the Republican nomination, seems to be playing politics with both the Howard organization and the lily white group. The lily whites are said to be spending money in Mississippi freely.
Leaves Estate to White Woman for Kindness
Spartanburg, S. C., March 30.—An estate consisting of personal property and a house and lot valued at several thousand dollars. Saturday morning, the estate was Blackwood (white), in accordance with the will of Mrs. Mamie Thompson, who died here recently. A brother of Mrs. Thompson was given $200. She stipulated that after funeral expenses had been paid from the estate, the estate would be in a "token of her care and kindness" so me during my life and illness."
THIS PAPER CONSISTS OF
TWO PARTS - PART ONE
PETER H. BURGESS
Former secretary of the Detroit Stars baseball club, who confessed to detectives his part in the $10,000 robbery at the home of William Mosley, well known Detroit sportsman. Derrick named his former employer, Steve Pierce, as his partner in the crime.
Believe Boy Was Slain in County Jail
Believing that her son, Clement Arnett, 18 years old, who died last Sunday in the county jail, was the victim of foul play, Mrs. Emma Flot, 3535 Wentworth Ave., mother of the youth, is seeking proof to verify her suspicions.
Mrs. Flot received word from her son in a letter that he was ill March 14. She went to see him the next day, but was denied the privilege by the jail authorities, she said, and was told to stay home. March 17. When she returned on that day the jail physician, Dr. McNamura, told her, she said, that no one could see her son. Then Sunday she received news of his death.
**Brusures on Body**
The body was taken to a North side morgue at 716 N. State St., where it was enbalmed without notifying the relatives of the dead youth. They had the body moved to Mrs. Johnson's morgue, 3311 State St., and examined there by Dr. George H. Copla, 3658 Wentworth Ave. The physician found a bruised spot on the ear of aunten according to the report of lobar pneumonia. His relatives don't believe he died from the disease. Their suspicions were dismissed. The mate of the jail, the writer of which stated that Arnett was either poisoned or slugged to death.
Arnett and William Grimes, address unknown, were arrested March 4 at 3615 State St. by a detective bureau squad on robbery charges. A taxidermy driver partially identified them as the two who had held him up a short time before at about 3 o'clock on the morning of March 4. They were arrested by Mrs. Alma Arnett, 20 years old, mother of his little girl, Gwendolyn, age 3. A request by Mrs. Arnett and her husband's mother for a post-mortem examination of Arnett's body was refused by the coroner, they said.
CAR CLEANERS
HELD FOR $27,000
MAIL ROBBERY
Danville, Va. . March 30.—Four car cleaners, employees of the Southern railway, were arrested early Thursday morning by Danville police on charges of stealing a mall pouch containing approximately $2,000 from the Christmas tree. Detectives refused to divulge information leading to the arrest on the ground that premature publicity might interfere with their operations, but admitted they had received affidavits said to involve confessions. It is also said that $3,500 in money had been dug up in the yard of Mrs. Vaden, who is detained as a witness.
United States Commissioner Champ Burksdale arrived at the postoffice early last Thursday and police sprang the trap, apparently well planned. The arrested parties are Roland Everett, Dock Miller, Eulis Holland and Robert W. was said to have contained a money shipment from the federal reserve bank of Richmond.

Fisk U Given McClellan INDICT MIAMI POLICE CHIEF AND SIX COPS FOR MURDER
Miami, Fla., March 30.—Chief of Police H. Leslie Quigg and six of his subordinates are in the county stockade without bail, charged with first degree murder of H. Kier, bellboy at the El Commordo hotel, who was brutally slain here two and a half years ago.
The grand jury, composed of former Northerners and local businessmen, in returning the indictment of the police chief last Friday, charged the entire police force with "brutal violence" and produced in law enforcement affairs through Miami. The jury, in announcing that it will reconvene April 10, indicated that other sensational charges would develop which "will shock the whole conscience," but for which indictment, then returned because of "our inability to fix individual responsibility."
Kill Prisoner In Jail
The police chief, who has held the position for the past seven years, was suspended immediately after being taken into custody. No testimony was taken and he did not enter a plea. Detective R. L. Wood was indicted on a murder charge along with being taken to the court to be added to the indicted police colony at the county which already consisted of Detective Leutnant M. A. Tibbils. Detectives John Clundel and Tom Maxworth all charged with the murder of Kier Patrolman Nelson Ward and R. L. Glisson, charged with the murder of John Mabry, a prisoner, have been charged with a week. The circumstances of Mabry's death have not been divulged. Detective Wood is said to have shot Victor W. Parnell, a white carpenter, to death in November, 1925. The responsibility for the death of a face prisoner in the city jail has not been placed by the grand jury. The police officer himself in jail, but it is believed he did not take his own life but came to death as a result of police cruelty.
Citizens Buy Firearms
The grand jury was hopeful when its investigation of police affairs started, the report said, that such practices were unusual and not sponsored by anyone in authority. "But, to our amazement," it went on, "it developed beyond all doubt that they have themselves led the assaults and become the chief executioners." The first official act of Guy C. Reeve, head of the detective bureau, who was made acting chief of police, was placed in charge of the Department of police patrols in the Race districts, where resentment against the police department is running high. Unprecedented sale of firearms to members of the Race has been reported all over the city in the last two weeks. Reeve declared. It is also clear that the Race districts have formally reported serious acts of violence with frequent displays of pistols and a generally arrogant attitude toward policemen.
Denies Chief Liberty
A bitter court battle was waged here Monday when attorneys for the suspended chief of police, after failing to secure his release on habeus corpus proceedings, attempted to take the chief's counsel for the grand jury put E.W. Pierce, former city detective on the stand. He charged that Quigg had ordered an assault on the bellyboy for whose murder the chief is now in custody. He argued that Quigg had ordered him, with Detective Buck Haddock, the officer who arrested Kier after he had been accused of insulting a woman, to take the prisoner to a lonely spot and "beat hell out of him." Pierce testified he hegged off, saying he wished

TOURISTS SEEK COMFORTABLE FARE ON ROAD
The season for motoring is here and thousands of tourists are preparing to take their yearly jaunts in search of recreation. There are many homes where accommodations for travelers can well be added to the market and will be many travelers who hesitate to make trips of any length because they have experienced such hardships in trying to find comfortable places at which to stop. In an effort to remedy this condition Chicago has set up a clearing bureau both for the travelers in search of lodgings and the homes which will care for them. All persons living near highways are requested to send their names and addresses to this office, with information as to quarters available, rates, etc. Describe any special arrangements, with numbers of the routes, should be included.

Abandoned Baby Found in Hallway of Home
New York, March 30. The wailing cry of a child attracted the attention of Polleeman Kennedy of the Simpson St. station as he was passing the entrance to 1559 South Blvd. In the hallway he came upon a boy, about a year and a half old, crouched in a corner and crying.
The child was dressed in a blue chinchilla, overcoat, brown leggings, black shoe, and a blue cap. Inquiries and investigations in the neighborhood failed to reveal any clue which might lead to the identity of the boy.
MEMPHIS RESENTS LIBEL ON CHARACTER OF'BOB CHURCH
Memphis, Tenn., March 30. — The Memphis Commercial Appeal and the Evening Appeal, opposition papers to the present city administration, are out to get the scalp of our leader, R. R. Church. For the past week he has been in blazing headlines on the front page, as well as the editorial page, all because of the recent appointment of E. V. Sheely as acting postmaster here. G. Tom Taylor, who was appointed acting postmaster on Church's endorsement, and who was recently rejected by the Senate, says "he lost his job because he refused to give Church $1,000 out of his salary."
Lindsay H. Phillips, United States district attorney, in an affidavit made public here Monday, contradicted Taylor's statement. Phillips said that Tom Taylor told him in Church's presence that the latter had never made any demands on him for money. This affidavit came as a bombshell to the forces seeking to discredit Church.
George H. Poole, a would-be acting postmaster, says "he didn't get the job because he would not agree to give Church $2,800 that he claims Church said he spent in removing Seches, former postmaster, and would not agree to have Colored special delivery carriers, and Colored clerks in the Memphis office."

Church characterized the statements of Taylor and Poole as "malicious and false" and stated further that there was not a person in Tennessee who did not know why Tom Taylor lost his job, and that George Poole was not considered because he had taken the examination and could not make the eligible grade; that the postoffice department did not appear on the postmaster and had taken the examination and failed."

The net earnings of the Pullman Car company for the eight months period, ending Dec. 31, 1927, were reported here at the company's headquarters as $12,292,246.54. Total earnings from all sources were listed as $14,419,163.53 while the surplus earnings after dividends and appropriations were paid were $5,142,301.54. The company experienced a falling off in gross business which was offset by a reduction of expenses. The number of cars operated during the year was the same as last although there was a three and a half per cent reduction in the number of cars owned. The company owned 9,068 sleeping, parlor and other classes of cars at the end of 1927.

Estate University Wins Title to Big Sum
St. Louis, Mo., March 30. Relatives will not share in the $100,000 estate of Dr. John W. McClellan, eminent surgeon, who died here Dec. 17, as a result of the acceptance for probate by Probate Judge Holtcamp, Saturday, of a carbon copy of his will which had been in the possession of the doctor's attorney, Robert N. Owens. Fisk university, Nashville, Teu- where Dr. McClellan was educated, will receive his $100,000 estate. The original will has disappeared. If the copy had not been admitted, the estate would have been divided, under the law, among five brothers a sister and two nieces. The doctor's ingen an immudate but fruitless search for the will he had drawn for the doctor following his death.
Court Accepts Copy
Not finding McClellan's will at two banks with which he did business, Attorney Owens got a court order to open the safe at the Invesco Office, 2014 Pine St. The will could not be found. In compliance with the court order, Owens and J. Roger Inge, a real estate dealer, were placed in charge of the doctor's estate. Since the original will cannot be found, the carbon copy, which Owens drew on March 16 last, was accepted by Justice Hunter. Two months ago Dr. Oral Nathanad and Roy McClellan, brothers of the deceased surgeon, petitioned the court to appoint Dr. Oral McClellan
the administrator of their brother's estate and that Owens and Inge be removed. During the court trial, evidence showed that a few moments after Dr. McClellan's dead body was reinterred, he was ridden to the court, Dr. Oral McClellan, riffed and ransacked his clothing and his desk, carrying from the premises his bank books and other personal property found at the residence. Because of such unwarranted and illegal conduct on the part of Dr. Oral McClellan, rendered uncompetent by the administration, the estate was ceased brother, declared judge Holt-camp, when he rendered his decision.
Relatives Disqualified
The court held that the brother, Roy, of Chicago, was ineligible to serve as administrator because he was a non-resident, and that the other brother, Nathaniel of Manchester, Mo., was disqualified, as it was shown he could neither read nor write.
Attorney Homer G. Phillips represented Owens and Inge in their fight to be retained executors of the estate involved.
The will leaves $1 each to the relatives mentioned, and makes Fisk university residuary legatee. Dr. McClellan was a bachelor. He was 57 years old.
Birmingham, Ala., March 30—Dr. C. C. Hawkins was burned to death here Sunday when his automobile crashed into a loaded furnace hotpot when it crossed 42th St. at 25th Ave. N., before he could escape from the molten slag that poured over his body. The physician was trapped in the molten slag and reached him. Fire companies from east and north Birmingham flooded the seething mass with water. Olee Green, an eye witness to the accident, stated Dr. Hawkins' machine skidded into the train. The train moved west, shoved down and then crashed into the train. The physician driving south on 24th St. Green said, attempted to avoid colliding with the train by turning west and running parallel to the tracks. The car skidded and carved sideways into the second crossing. The inputs were cleared the crossing from the tracks by the impact and the hatch on the hotpot released. Hawkins was thrown clear of the car. Only a small portion of the molten metal spilled on the ground where Hawkins unfortunately landed. The inputs were destroyed in cooling, the slug crushed out the trucks of the pot, making it almost impossible to pull it loose.
Mississippi River Hero Receives Late Gift
Memphis, Tennessee, March 30.—A long dollar bill, dilled anonymously from Philadelphia. Pa., was received by former Mayor Rowlett, Paine Saturday as a gift to Tom Lee, boatman, who in 1925 rescued 30 persons when the steamboat "Norman" sank in the Mississippi river with a loss of 22 lives. After his heroic rescue, Lee received contributions totaling $40,000 as a reward. He is now employed as a Memphis street cleaner.

Pierce and Derrick in Safeblowing Plot
Detroit, Mich., March 30. "Steve" Pierce, former owner of the Detroit Stars Baseball club, and Leo Derrick, former secretary of the club, are held under $20,000 bonds each in the Wayne county jail charged with participating in a $10,000 robbery at the home of William Mosley, 1809 Illinois St. Mosley, it is claimed, was part owner of the Detroit Stars, but owing to the poor showing of the club, had severed his connections in order to open a policy wheel. Although their business relations had ceased, the three were good friends and knew each other's intimate affairs. In this way, Derrick learned the contents of the safe in the Mile Home, whose information was on Pierce, who was residing in Flint, Mich. Pierce and Derrick then conspired to rob the safe on a night when the Mosley would be absent from home.
Safe Blowers Called
The conspirators were not adept at blinding, so they took in as confederates Harry Ward, 654 Garfield St., and two crack Italian safe blowers. On Sunday night Mr. Macleod, Derrick Ward, Italian, loaded with the necessary explosives and a sack of mud, forced an entrance into the Mosley residence. However, on entering the place they found that the safe was small enough to carry so they carted it away to a secluded spot and blew it open, extracting it in cash and $5,000 in jewelry.
After perpetrating the robbery, the Italianes went back to the conspirators and explained the safe contained only $2,000 in cash and $2,000 in jewelry. Pierce and Derrick, however, held their ground, explaining that they would not be double-crossed "because the Italianes finally admitted the full amount of the robbery, claiming that they were only having a little joke. The spoils were then split five ways.
Police Lack Interest
The Mosleys on returning home from a chop suey restaurant were astonished to find that the safe had disappeared and immediately called in the police. Officers from the Hunt St. station answered the call, but seemingly treated the incident as a "cock and bull" story. A few days later Mosley complained of lack of security. Sergeant William Beck and William Buller were assigned to the case.
On last Thursday, Sergeants Beck and Fuller raided the Michigan policy wheel, taking into custody Herbert Eulnberg, 1031 E. Forest Ave.; J. Morehead, 2122 St. Antoine St., and Leo Derrick, 839 E. Adams Ave. Derrick was grilled for 24 hours by the detectives and finally broke down, admitting his part in the robbery and implicating "steve" Pierce. Edinburgh and Manchester were later reunited.
Breaks Down
on the information obtained, the officers arrested Pierce and subjected him to a merciless grilling. He broke down and confessed, implicating Harry Ward and the two Italians. Pierce and Derrick then led Serrante's men to the hiding places and turned over to them $1,100 in cash and $2,000 in diamonds. Ward's home was then ransacked and a finally cut diamond valued at $2,000 was found concealed in the basement. According to the officers, most of the cash on the immediate needs of his children. He also purchased several suits of clothes for himself.
Early Saturday morning, the two Italians were apprehended and are being held under $20,000 bonds each in the Wayne county jail, charged in the night and robbed armed.
It is thought that the detectives are seeking further information which will lead to the arrest and conviction of a prominent Detroit physician. Pierce, it is alleged, made a confidante of the physician while treating her or minor allure. The door then collapsed, blowers, who were friends of a woman that he knew in North Detroit. Ward is still at large.
Washington Forger
Escapes From Prison
Washington, D. C. March 30—Clinton T. Flannagan, boss real estate dealer, who was sentenced to four years in the Lorton penitentiary last November for forging the name of Mrs. Violet B. Warfield, the wife of Dr. William A. Warfield, surgeon-in-chief of Freedmen's hospital, to five promissory notes, a deed of trust and a check, escaped last Tuesday from the penitentiary. The honor system is used at the penitentiary and the escape of Flannagan was not noticed for so long that it is thought that for of his friends, a man an automobile on the Richmond-Washington highway, which runs near the prison. Notice of his escape was faded to all eastern cities.

word for PERUNA, the

CITES REASON FOR PROBE ON ARTHUR FROE
Says Recorder's Work Is Away Behind
Washington, D. C., March 20. — Herbert D. Brown, chief of the United States bureau of efficiency, in a moment Monday, denied that it was the purpose of the efficiency bureau in making its study of the office of the recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia to take that office away from our people as a bureau. He declared that the intent of the bureau was to make the work of that office current and the office itself efficient. He chaired Arthur G. Frow, the recorder of deeds, with bad faith in trying to co-operate with representative of the bureau.
Committee Investigates
The Gibson investigating subcommittee of the house district committee is making an investigation to determine why the recorder of deeds did not adopt recommendations of the bureau of efficiency after it had been approved similar offices in a large number of cities throughout the United States. The statement of Mr. Brown is as follows:
"There is nothing further from my thoughts than attempting to have the office of the recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia other than a Colored man. Except for a brief period under the Wilson administration, that office has been in charge of a Colored man ever since it was created, and I believe it should so remain.
The only interest of myself and the bureau of efficiency, who made the study of the office of the recorder of deeds, is to bring the work of that office current and to make the office so efficient that it can be pointed to as model recorder's office, and reflect not only upon the head of the office but upon the Colored race as a
Sought Improvement
"Our study of the office of the recorder of deeds was made at the request of the chairman of the house committee on appropriations (Representative Martin B. Madden, Republican of Illinois), and the chairman of the house committee on the record of the presentative Frederick N. Zillahian, Republican of Maryland). It being the desire of these two gentlemen to assist the present recorder in every way possible to improve the work and procedure of his office.
"At the time of starting our survey the office was 15 months in arrears, and we clearly indicated the recorder that it was our purpose and desire to help him in every way possible.
"This we have conscientiously tried to do. Unfortunately, however, the recorder failed to carry out his promission. We have had to limit the lack of co-operation upon the part of the recorder necessitated my withdrawing the services of the bureau's investigator that had been assigned to assist him in carrying out the investigation by this bureau looking to bringling the work of that office current and to putting it upon an efficient operating basis. The bureau before submitting its final report on each recommendation with the recorder. At that time he stated that each one of the recommendations met with his approval and that he would cooperate wholeheartly with us in carrying out the investigation in effect. He accordingly stated this promised co-operation was so lacking that it was necessary to withdraw our investigator."

Former Washingtonian Kills Valet in Geneva
Geneva, Switzerland, March 20.—John Coates, chauffeur, is under arrest here accused of killing a Hungarian valet named Szabo after a quarrel in which the valet attacked him, with a wrist clutch. The chauffeur, whose skull was only saved from being crushed by his thick hair, shot Szabo only after the valet had attacked him. Coates was brought to Europe by Baron de Hevy, former member of the French government in Washington, seven years ago. The quarrel and slaying occurred Sunday night in the home of the Baron, now Hungarian representative to the league of nations. M. de Hevy has his lawyers and has engaged a lawyer to defend Coates, who probably will be released.
Charge Jury Gambled
Memphis, Tenn. March 30.—Will H. Robinson lost his motion for a new trial Saturday when Acting Criminal Judge Phil Wallace refused to believe that he had been convicted on a "gummilling verdict," arrived at by jury in July 1982, three years after jury wanted to impose, had been added up and divided by 12. Robinson was recently sentenced to five years in prison when found guilty of slaying his wife, last December. He claimed that the tragedy was accidental, and that when he was attempting to take a pistol from his wife's hands after she had threatened him with it. Three jurors were called and admitted that they did add up the total years and then denied the death. The addition and any effect upon the verdict finally returned.
ATTACKS WOMAN

Due to the watchfulness and influence of Mrs. Irene Goins, the achievements of Race women were sponsored by Federated club women at the woman's 1926-27 world's fair. When notified by the management of the fair that her Race would not have representation at the 1928 exhibit, Mrs. Goins, feeling that the door of opportunity which she strove so hard to open should not be closed, immediately called a small group of leaders of women's interests, formed a women's world fair committee, signed the contract and they now have a larger booth in which to display the arts, trades and sciences of women of the Race for the coming fair in May at the Coliseum.

and liquid refreshments at his elbow. Al Johns was in his clematis. Emuhi He was the embodiment of merriment. Having had years of contact as enlisted soldier, he took to folk. At knew well their varying tastes, he was necessary for them to ask him to sing this or that song or tell such and such stories, and imitated their wishes, he knew what they were.
Bob Shater of the Colored Vaudeville Benevolent association and other old-timers recall first seeing Al in the Douglass club, a rendezvous for performers and pleasure seekers, then conducted at MJ W. 31st St. Nearly every year he goes to a gymnastics. Al had just come to the metropolis from Washington.
Among the Broadway stars to commission Al Johns to write special stories for the play, he was seventh. Later she made him musical director of her company. In each town Al rehearsed the orchestra and accompanied Miss twain at the plano.

I have distinct recency of an engendered collection at the Century theater in St. Louis for I won a bet from friends that Al Johns was stopping at one of the large hotels never known to cater to
Advance information having been received that Johns accompanied the musicians to the youth Negroes so that the Centennial theater bubbling over with race pride. But they were greatly disappointed. The composer played for the come-ons from view behind a screen. I understand St. Louis was not the only city where the pianist officiated incipient, Al Jardine, and other celebrities. In 534 D. was frequented by the leading theatrical people, well-known first-nighters and other celebrities. Al Jardine delighted mimewriters with the latest musical numbers. Ford Dalhane, Charlie Wilson, Will Dixon, James Ames, and others were also entertained. Joe Grey, Bill Blackwell and John Europe also were rated high as entertainers. And they and the white night reveler desirous of becoming inoculated with what then was known as rugine rhythmic, went to Marshall's. Barron Wilkins's Little Sawyer and Bill Bank's in 534 St. North Harlem was then stiff and stained. Not the fairest suspicion existed that the theater and social changes were in prospect.
Al Johns used to take a prominent part in a Colored musical show on the campus of Waukee, and before the close of the theatrical season, for the role he liked best was that of chasing the blues away for the four hundred. "You leave New York you're camping out," was not a wiscreach but a truism. About five years ago Al was the visitor of a stolleny stoke. Later he was to England to entertain Reginald Vanderbilt, who was in London.
For the last two years Al Johns life was leading a from hand-to-mouth existence. He suffered another stroke.
His widow, Mrs. Louise Johns of 148 W. 142d St. was notified by the government of her husbands' death.

There is altogether too much four flushing with our would-be leaders of those who would have you think that they would be leaders. The very first thing in orchestra leader should learn to play in handling the musicians.

to be leaders. The very first thing an orchestra leader must be diplomacy in handling the musicians. In the beginning musicians must be they are just like fawns; the lead, scolding a leader gives them they fear they are not wanted and that their days on the job are numbered. The next thing the new students to learn is the theory of what he is doing. Wildly swimming a baton, turning somersaults in the orchestra pit does not impress the element who know music and what its proper allegiance to be. We have our own Will Marion Cook, known the world over for his eccentric, but theoretical directing, and his face directing years ago and I would wager that he would give most of the present day directors the run around, as Cook commands an orchestra and is rated as one of the masters of the art of
The public today disregards the forefusher who indulges in cyclonic animated gymnastics while moving the body in frightful swims means nothing. The baton is the instrument that reflects the conductor's knowledge of the dance and with the left hand pointing the score. Emotional displays are all right when the score calls for it but at no time does the conductor move the wheel around and clown. The atmosphere that the symphony orchestra invites must be associated with careful knowledge and dignity of the
Other Directors
We can number quite a few capable orchestral directors who really know what they are doing. Vaughn, for many seasons was the associate of Will Marlon Cook in the old Williams and Walker days. He was the bassist of the baton. Will Vodley, the master arranger, is another conductor who has won distinction as a batonist in the finest musicians in the country. Joe Jordon, Fred Simpson, P. G. Lowery, and Allie Ross are some of the finest orchestral directors who are theatrists with the baton.
The Music Game
There seems to be a full all over the country in the music game, probably because this is presidential election music in the music game is prohibition violations. So many amusement places that hire orchestras have been closed. In the Middle West over five thousand orchestras are employed and the future doesn't look so well either. Among the white musicians many are going into other lines; many of them had the initialization when the game was good, and this is just what this writer has been preaching for two years in this column. When music flops for you you will be protected by the orchestras are not married to any of the jobs we hold. The employer might take a dislike to you at any time, although your ability is O. K. You lose your job; you are not married to any of the jobs you hold you are with all of your music knowledge and nowhere to demonstrate it.

Jesse Merriwether, a young man who is doing wonderful constructive work in Chicago in the music art, the movies and the pottery, the pots he makes, the pots he has here that he will not seek publicity. Nevertheless this writer, rather robust in stature, will take the liberty to hand Jesse what is coming to him, and he will use me some time later. He is a young man who has studied hard to perfect himself first in music. He accomplished that and began his career as a teacher of the music. He has presented some of his pupils in recital and most of them youngsters, not in their teens yet, have been marvels. Surely Mr. Merriwether must have been teaching these children, who are proving that he knows what he is doing.
Last Monday night he presented in recital Mary Walker Robinson, also a music teacher. Miss Schumann, accordingly, instructed Schumann, Chopin, Debushey, Rubenstein, Mendelssohn and Lissat. One of his little star pupils from the school is little Muriel Farmer, one of this writer. This child, only 10 years old, plays the works of the masters with due ease. April Lee, one of the would tackle them. All she knows Jesse Merrifield taught her. June Evans, another youngster, will appear in April Lee's Leeds, June Lena Merrifield, October Lena Merrifield in hallia 1285. All of these players have been taught correctly by Jesse Merrifield, who taught them and with his normal course finished, hung out his shingle and today no other teacher in Chicago has such a skill as this young man.
Al Johns Dead
Lester Walton writes about Al
Johns and says the following:
Al John, for many years a favorite of the 400 as a purveyor of mirth and melody, died recently in the American hospital. The ever-jovial, obliging, savve Negro was a familiar figure in the drawing rooms of Fifth Ave, Long Island. Members of the Vunderbilt, Freilinghysen and Goetel families rated "Al" as he was popularly called, an "alleged murderer." Reginald Vunderbilt sedum gave a party unless he was on hand to sing and tell funny stories. Al gave the party a good deal and was accordingly compensated. Seated at the piano with cigarettes
Johns was a master of improvisation. To sing a popular diky and lively tune, he names of all guests present was a speciality that tickled the vanity of his hearers. And he could compose a song based on some incident in which members of the party were principals. When Al concluded his audience was about fed up on music and song he decided to take a training and tell amusing stories.
Picturesque Figure
Al Johns' career was kaleidoscopio and pictureque. He was a producer of New York night life when the Tenderloin flourished unbridled and unrestrained and when the bulk of the Negro population was south of 53 St.
While a habitue of the Douglass club Al learned to play the piano. His first big job was at Silver Dollar Smith's, 31st St. and 31st Ave., patronized by big spenders and stylishly dressed women. There he made a statement of the socially prominent. He was the best liked entertainer in the place.

"Black Belt" of course, is a play that presumably to be acted by a Negro cast. It has to do with a family that migrates from the South to Hurleen, and has problems of adjustment. Association Lewis in the venture will be Crosby Calge, perhaps the most prolific of co-authors.

SAM RUSSELL WEDS
Los Angeles, Calif.—"Twas what is known as the holiday season and everyone had begun to sort of bubble over with good cheer. According to routine, the curtain at the Lincoln on this particular evening of which we are about to speak, rolled back at 7 o'clock and Bilo came forward.
Now, Bilo, prior to this occasion, had appeared on many stages, gazed out on many audiences dotted with many comely tassles. "But, says the curtain, we have come into eyes that set on fire my soul."
It was charming little Miss Johnnie Calhoun, who sat in the Lincoln theater, accompanied by her mother, C. Calhoun, and her sister C. Calhoun of Galveston, Tex., and when the curtain at the Lincoln went down for the last time that evening, Sam (Bilo) Russell was on the job at the cedar where he met and captured the body who was soon to share his destiny.
Miss Calhoun left immediately after this meeting for her home in Galveston, but the persistent lover was not seen. She sent letters, telegrams and flowers until she returned to this city Monday, March 5 and at 4 a.m. on Sunday, March 10. She had more than fifty selected guests, this rather senational romance culminated. Sam (Bilo) Russell went to the home of the late houn at the cozy home of Mrs. Margie McCampbell, 1437 E. 25th St. The bride was shrieking in pale georgette with blonde dumplings and a veil. She carried a bouquet of white marche-nelle rose buds. Mrs. Laura Calhoun, the matron of honor, was also cheerful. She carried a bouquet of Plus, who had known the bride from childhood, performed the marriage ceremony. The bride was given in marriage by her uncle, J. C. Henderson.
The McCampbell home was a fitting scene for the early morning marriage. banked in palms and lilies of the valley.

"Keep Shufflin'", which has the best stage dancing, ensemble and solo we have seen this year, started by the theater, which was the home of "Shufflin' Along" that most successors of "Keep Shufflin'" proved so lovely that nobody had time to sing our spirituals. Need we say more?body was an artist from the tail sensational toe dance, to the short, equally sensational male dance, to the fat and jovial pianist in the orchestra pit. And what an orchestra! If it were at a night club you get up and dance, forgetring renaissance, satelite, lumbago or any other. Journey Miller and Aubrey Lyles, who were the comedians of "Shufflin' Along" and "Runnin' Wild", were the comedians of Clark and McCullough, we recall no funnier pair of comedians; that is, when they have the right material in the first act was their own fault, because they wrote the book. But they were gorgeously funny in which included one side-splitting scene.
"Keep Shufflin'", has a sure-fire song that the "Sunshine" was sung early in the movie. In clever fashion by Miss Jean Starr, who seemed about 99 per cent, white. In the movie, the body will be singing, humming or whistling before the week is ended, and, no doubt, before the season is over, will try unsuccessfully to forget it.
Con Conrad, the producer, is the well-known song writer, and he it is not only provided not only a large cast but he has also in the company every type of performer known to musical and even to exceptional a male quartet, a form of entertainment that we for, one would never miss. There is one youthful player who has been a concerting comedienne Maude Billie Yarbough, who is said to resemble Josephine Baker of Paris, and a concerting comedienne is much funnier. She clowned and grimaced to her own and everybody else's enjoyment. "I'm almost a perfect show. All it needs is more humor in the first act. However, it has enough dancing, fun and melody to it run a long time at Daly's theater.

We have had so many requests for a copy of our humorous verse en-
titled "Oh, My People!" that the only method we can employ to fulfill the
desire is to publish a column of humorous verse.
A monkey sat beside the road
His thoughts were sad and gloomy;
He said: "Of money I've no load
And way and no roomy.
I'll aid me here beside the way
And perhaps some cheerful giver
Will hand me something from his pay
That will pay her.
Soon a son of Italy passed by
And said: "Da poor litta monka"
And fell in bed before me
He throw the monkey a hambush.
A Jew then chanced to pass that way,
And spokes with naive assurance,
"If we pledge to buy a dog
When I gets my fire insurance."
And old John D. out for a stroll,
Saw the monk and had compassion,
A dime he get the money to roll
And gave, just to be in fashion.
Then Henry Ford went nashing past
In a banquet at the hotel
The monkey caught the (scient and gasped,
"The Lord loves a cheerful giver."
Then a handsome Cadillac drew near,
It was ill, but it was hers.
The monkey said: "Now, I'll get the real cheer,
They're so different from the others."
The speeding car—ah! sad my tale!—
Rocked the house, people.
And as he fell, folks heard him wail:
"My people: Oh, my people."
"Microscopic Fulurens of Destiny," a chapter in Professor Lubomir Sapanoff's book entitled "The Chemistry of Fatality," contains the following pertinent paragraph: "It is a common error of belief among writers that the highest and last of the mental faculties to appear is as a matter of fact, the critical faculty is the lowest of all mental faculties, below mechanical reason itself. The critic is the motive of the conscious mind."
Airing our troubles, deficiencies, delinquencies and vulgar traits in the white magazines must be a profitable occupation for a few of our pseudo critics of color. To our mind it is not a commendable occupation. All of us must be aware of the fact that we do not further publicity. Our faults and weaknesses have just about observed whiteness of merit we possess. That what has been said of us and about us bears a modicum of truth is not sufficient justification for the publication of deleterious articles.
The Race may be considered as a family. Every family has its quirks, its misunderstandings, its black sheep and its skeletons. The members of each family say many things to each about each other, but they strive to be as united as possible. We may call them "nigger," but the other fellow says it at his own risk. We may call our children brats, but we are not going to stand for Mrs. Brown across the alley casting aspersion at our progeny.
No class of players has had a rougher road to travel, has been more beset by vicissitudes than our dramatic players, the Bishops, Andersons, Priors, Thompson, Clouss, Desmonds and Moores, as Mr. Lewis has put it. Any criticism of them and their work should at least be tempered with more short of criminal.
It has always been conceded to us that we could sing and dance, but to say that we could act was to elicit loud guffaws of laughter from the majority of the opposite. Many of them had never heard of the Petin Stock company and the Laffleet Players that forced the skeptical of the white race to grudgingly concede that some of us at least possessed histrionic ability.
The ups and downs of our dramatic players, for the most part, forms a pathetic episode in our theatrical history. From town to town these players journeyed, often salaryless and near to hunger. Always doing their best, they greeted by full houses, permitting them to ride for a few days in the joywagon of anticipation. The next stand they would be playing to a skeptical few, striving to please, while all the time they were wondering how they could pay their expenses and get to the next stand.
Propagandists, every one of them. Even the most filiterate realized that these players were convincing the public that in the dramatic field, as eleven-year-olds, they were courageous players not waiting on opportunity—they were making their own opportunities. At last, rumors of their ability reached the sacred precincts of Broadway.
Charles S. Glipin was one of our devotees of the drama. He traveled from place to place, sometimes in vandeville, sometimes doing stock. No one paid much attention to him. Often they laughed at his efforts. His name was Bessie Beecher, but he was born even in demand with the dramatic players. Then came his opportunity with the Abraham Lincoln show. White critics recognized his ability and, as is usually the case, and then not till then was he given consideration by the critics. He became the "Emperor Jones" and Glipin's name was headlined in every player while his reputation and popularity as an actor of unusual merit circled the globe.
A presentation of "Salome" also gave Broadway an opportunity to look at a few of our best dramatic players, Evelyn Preer, Laura Bawman, Slater, and others. We are the indomitable, indefinite players whose names have been defamed and whose work has been ridiculed by a critic who prates to us about Race pride, and who betrays such people as these for so many cents per word in a white magazine.
It is a sad twist of fate and an indictment against our Race that any person or persons who elects to champion any cause for our people will be held accountable for their actions. We hold to the tenements of our progress has given its approval we can hope for recognition from our own people. Our artists may sing like Gabriel, paint like Raphael, play like Tadderwesk or write like Shakespeare, but so long as we do not do anything wrong, we will be small interest, but once the white world gives its approval, we tumble one over the other to do them homage, we wine them and dine them and pin medals on their breasts. "My people, Oh, my people!"
If our dramatic players are walking the streets unemployed or standing at the doors of the Broadway theaters looking for theatrical handouts. it is because we have failed to appreciate them or what they were arriving at. We have failed to appreciate them or what they were arriving at. We have failed to appreciate them or what they were arriving at. We have failed to appreciate them or what they were arriving at.
Norn Bayes, the inimitable, well beloved vaudeville star, has passed. Not only has the world lost one of its greatest artists but we have lost a friend. We are almost safe to say that we have more friends in the theatrical world than in any other field of endeavor and Miss Bayes stood at the head of the list.
It was in Philadelphia that I saw Miss Bayes and her shadow, Little Florence Parnum. I never missed an opportunity to see Miss Bayes in action. The supernatural excellence of her work always captivated me. Upon meeting her at her home we did a little Bayes performance permitted to imitate and how the audience did enjoy that performance. The two wonderful artists were compelled to respond to encore after encore. Forced to acknowledge a dozen curtain calls, Miss Bayes laughingly told me at her home that she had tribute filled my eyes, for I could appreciate the time, patience and labor that Miss Bayes had given to perfect her shadow in the part she so excellently played.
Miss Bayes was always ready to give any of our writers or composers an audience when they had anything to offer. They received more than a fifty-fifty break from this wonderful woman. While playing Chicago she adopted a little brown-skin child than it might have a chance to enjoy. She was a little girl and she would again she went out of her way to do a favor for some member of our Race. A wonderful artist and a noble woman, we mourn her passing.
Nothing gives us a pain in the neck like the manager who is always right and the show is always wrong. The dressing rooms may be overheated (this rarely is the case except in the summer time) or they may be freezing-cold, but this should not affect the performance. There may be no orchestra in the pit, or there may be a drummer and a toneone cornet player. There may be no piano, but a symphony orchestra. There may be only three lines in the fly gallery, but that is no reason why the carpenter should not hang his entire show. There may be two or three stage hands back stage who have never been in the show. There may be no fact as an excuse for delays between scene changes. It may be the week before Christmas, Holy week or it may snow, but if business is bad, only the show is held to blame. He will complain like a rusty axle about the shortcoming of the show, but will not not acknowledge any defect in his policy. This class of manager is a hum sport, a hard loser and a pain in the neck.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER
COAST DOPE
By BUDDY BROWN
Greetings, World: Our desire this week is to comment upon the different articles written by our scribes. Also to call attention to some few things that may be overlooked by us in our daily whirl in this busy world, the necessity of a positive, contentment, contentment and success. This writer claims that there is an inexorable law of distribution. You will be surprised at the wrong you do today and tomorrow. Buck-biting, conceit, deceitfulness and hypocrisy. The sins that you do, two by two, you shall be guilty of. Our serpire, Mr. Whitney, whom I admire very much, mentions things every week that are helpful to most people. But there is not a week goes by but what I am forced to have an argument with actors who are supposed to reference to these same articles.
I am forced to listen to ridicule of my students. I think I'm better than the average actor because I had "two weeks in college." When the motive by which I acted was to elevate the profession and help in our way others succeed, it is not given to any of us in this generation to see our dreams realized fully. But each of us can live in our profession for those who follow in our footsteps with the hope that our ideal will be realized. I am constrained to comment upon the article of Miss Betty Martin of 2249 13th St. Canton, Ohio. In the article, I comment on the abstract, Miss Martin is right. More than 75 per cent of the present-day performers complain to her matriarch that she does not give the conditions in the professions as regards our group, are deplorable. But I am not the little lady is a bit too scary.
We must not forget that there is a power higher than man's power, because we are all judges to judge our fellow man, or else we shall be damned. Perhaps many of us are college or high school education, therefore it behoves those of us who are fortunate brother and sister—be liberal and confine our efforts to uplift instead of ridicule. We say in concluding Martina been in the show business, and why didn't she mention the name of her congregation with which she is travelled.
To thinking performers this is food for thought on the Pacific coast are only for them.
The Anderson brothers, Corine and Eddie, California boys, are cleaning up the school. And Tolliver just returned from up North and have offers to go to Australia. There are two dozen Race Day participants. Some record, when you consider that the work out here is limited. There is talk of a stock company being called "Cajun." For summer's run, the writer has been approached and offered the job of producer. More about this later. Not decided yet. and Brown, the "Aristocrats of Vaudeville," are playing the week at Oakland and Stockton. Calf. Desirees passions and objections to the new past charm by which we hold such ten walk and talk softly, close the door of adversity and remember that continuous in our efforts nothing more. Hello, Chink. Hello, Johnson and Johnson. Duke says. Hello, world, we will, and don't know when we will return.

So things look bright for an extended season for us. While playing the Orpheum in Newark I went over to New York on a tour of the old gang and, say, what a time I had, I drove over in my new Dazmer, made a present to me by Bert Goldberg, and saw the faxette theater. The show was Jimmie Cooper's revue, with Butterbeans and Susie and she and the company were well-tuned. I also ran into Sandy Burns in the J—M—and we had a tea, and during the pow-wow Sandy told me of the wonderful success he is having at the Alhambra theater in our trip to the Coast has been postponed indefinitely for reasons not explained.

Kansas City, Mo.—Ed E. Daley's "Trinit to too company made a most intriguing show," this week. The company is a novelty song and dance affair in the this week. The company is charming in staging and entertaining sented by a company of clever entertainers, including a bevy of pretty girls. In fact, from a stage point, it is hard to imagine a group of girls ever seen at the Lincoln. Troy Brown, stage manager; Onnie Jones and Spencer Barnes, working with the company, have hilarious comedy sketch and were given a rousing reception. Kitty Ablauche, the clever little lead, has been the star of the melodies and indulged in original nonsense. The biggest hit of the entire night's entertainment was the performance of Paul scored from the start and was called back five times by the appreciative audience. Spanish origin, who was billed as an added attraction, scored heavily in dramatic roles. Others prominent in the east were Corrine Skin Models; Grace Rector, Verne Hutchins, Newman, Ann Washington and her husband, Clarence L. Marks, directs the orchestra from the bldg.

So the homers were even and Paul Galico, sports editor of the New York Times, and the New York Teen doctors, seconds and the New York Teen back East a bit disappointed, but nevertheless happy because they were not beaten. Next year the intercity championships will be held in New York. Now we go back to Saturday night. Before Chicago's most colorful crowd in which millionaires rubbed shows with the barkeeper, society officials, and healthy looking athletes fought all they knew and were urged on by the plaudits of the crowd.
Some who weren't expected to win were the players who others found themselves stacked up against too great odds and lost out. Chicago fans gave the easterners a big hand when they won and a good hand even when they lost. They were funny folks. With but few exceptions they sure pull for the home town boy.
It was a $10 show for one, two and three plunks plus the government tax and as early as 7 o'clock sold out signs went up over the box offices. By 8 the house was well killed.
A rally by the 175-pounders of the Chicago team staved off defeat.
Jack Raymond, who lost to Dave Maize in the finals of the Tribune contest here was pitted against Yale through with a win and Dave, whose father is boxing instructor at the Milwaukee A. C. stopped Robert Olin in round 2.
Dave's victory by virtue of the fact that he was the classiest boxer the evening and waited to make his presence known, brought Chicago's total to seven all.
Then William Maddox of Chicago met Jerry Pavelee of Gotham. Looked for a minute like things were all off for William, but he came through 2 and Chicago's fliste fandom, even including Promoter J Mullen, who never gets excited, started rolling, their heads off. This victory placed Chicago leading, eight bouts to seven, and there was no chance to
Galico Worried
Mr. Galler looked worried. He was plainly nervous. Pretty hard to take back in neck to 424. So that folk the folk and 424. So that Chicago had wiped you. He had reasons to be nervous, although it didn't last long.
Everything was up to Walter Reed in the hospital heavy, who stopped Mahoney of Notre Dame cold in the Tribune's final. Walter carries a wallop that'll send Tunney to the canvas if he ever hits him. He built both George Hoffman, national Amateur Athletic union boxing champ. And George knew his onions. He was careful—so much so that the referee had to urge both men to mix it. George was far too experienced. His reach and height helped him. Once he decided to mix it he got set. George Hoffman him set. Several times he sent him to the canvas and his victory was casually scored.
The evening ended with eight wins for New York, eight wins for Chicago.
The greatest amateur show ever held in this city was over. The host had been a teacher and had been shown. The boutus did more to revive interest in boxing than anything ever held here. Father Knickerbocker had a fought Father Knickerbocker to a standstill.

In this class in the first division Joe Bosak won from Billy Fugerson of New York.
Jack Sullivan of New York won from Billy Hutsel of Chicago in the first round of the class, although the crowd thought Hutsel was entitled to a draw. In the first division of the 126-pound class Tront Caragliano of New York stopped George Root of Chicago in the final round in New York.

The second division honors in the 160-pound class were won by George Kothermel of Chicago, which brought the second to New York in round two. Eddie Herbst of New York won over Charles Bennett in three rounds in the first division.
Then came the 175-pound and heavyweight, which brought the second to its feet and worked them into a frenzy when Chicago by two wins in the 175-pound class and one in the heavyweight had a chance to win. Chicago fans were more than surprised with the showing of the local boys and pleased with the result. Many of the best amateur boys didn't get into the Tribune tournament, that they did if they entered the A. A. U. contest which ran the week previous they couldn't enter the Tribune tourney.

CHARLESTON BOLTS; SIGNS WITH HILLDALE
Cooper of Harrisburg With Daisies
Philadelphia, Pa., March 26—Oscar Charleston signed a Hillelide contract yesterday. Charleston is just back from a successful winter season in Cuba. Paws will remember the persevering center fielder as leader of the Harrisonburg Glants the past three years. The Harrisonburg pitcher, also signed a Hillelide contract. Both men will report on April 16. Charleston was ordered to Atlantic City by the Eastern league.
Merven Ryan is making overtures to the management and will again play in the staff, Carr, Mackey and Warbeld, who have been playing winter ball in southern California, are ready to report.
Merven will open the season at Hildale park on Saturday, April 25. The strong Paterson Silk Sox will be the attraction. Phil Cockrell, who is in Augusta, Ga., working out and getting in condition, in the spring, although there is a possible chance that Porter Charleston, the 19-year-old find of last year, will start the game.
"Rockie," the Hildale mascot for Charleston, is promoted to a place among the regulars, and through the coaching of Oscar Charleston and Otto Briggs will soon be seen playing the outfield in many games.
Oscar Mayo is well known to local fans as Hildale's star first baseman from 1912 to 1918. A member of the board of directors, though jolly most of the time, realizes that he will work for co-operation and harmony among the men.

Dave Mauer won his bout in the 75th round, it was the first time he faced a crowd and upset the dope, sending Chicago in the lead by coppling the second division heavyweight scrap and New York evened the score eight all when George Hoffman, national champion U. champ, whipped Wattar Radka.

THE southern conference baseball season got under way during the week. Clark was forced to how to Atlanta by a score of 5 to 2, and Morehouse makes it successful. Morehouse made it 14 to 6 in the games played it would seem that Morehouse has the best hitting team of the entire bunch. Clark has nothing like the powerful aggregation that she has with the pitchers in the numbers of that crack machine are now with the Panthers, manely, Cornellus, Toles, Roberts, Robinson and Pappy O'Neal. In the Atlanta Clark game the pitching of Sprungey would apply to the efforts of Toles. We have heard omnious rumblings of the batting strength that Harvey's men possess and now we are about convinced. We are about convinced. We are about Bradley on Saturday, but if he did perform and the Morehouse heavy artillery functioned as well as it did, then we must warn all conference teams to put their best twirlers on the hill when facing the
WITHIN the next few days we expect to have a line on nearly all of the conference teams. Alabama State, who are present conference champions, are back again with practice and first honors last season. The pitching staff of the Staters is said to be the best in the South. Down at Florida A. and M. college Coach Bragg is doing his all to remodel a club that is only remaining luminary on that club is Jubilee Bragg, and possibly L. N. Anderson, who is a fairly good twirler. Talladega has been tossing the apple around for some time, but right now most prospects are at a secret that only the Talladega's know. We have a knight that the board of baseball being played in the conference this year will be inferior to that played in years gone by. This is the result of players on professional and drummers.
WELL, the interfraternal row is over and the sons of Omega are once more resting upon the pedestal of supremacy and the supremacy of the very thrill and all through the series the power of the Kappa and Omega teams asserted itself. So it was with a high degree of excitement and strain that the two men are arrested among the clan watched the deedling game on last Saturday. The Kappa team with Quint Johnson and Traylor on its roster was very dangerous, for these two men are arrested among the clan and perform in tixie. The one thing that the Kappa team did not have, however, was a strong defense. The Omega team with Calibert and Gam to do the ment, and when Wheelee, Hazzard and Baker came into their own as basket slingers it meant defeat for the Kappa charges. The Alpha team two teams possessed, but managed to play a fairly good brand of ball. The Sigma team came back with a rush in the final game and came very near defeating the Alphas in a 23 to
WITH the advent of warm weather the cluder path aspirants are donating their time and energy to places in first order. The Tuskegee reels are only a month away and with their approach the coaches are doing their best to get their enquiries and mentors are planning to send men to the Hampton reels also. So the major meets of the year will all see a chance to meet the mentors of their stuff. Spring athletic endeavor has been slow to get going in Dixieland by the presence of a lingering winter.

This had almost single-handed won the meet for his school. Beauty on the Northeastern, aided his team, finished third in the half-mile run, and took fourth place in the 50-yard dash. In winning the high hurdles Beauty equaled the meet record. Lane Snowden, another track flash from Northeastern, aided his team, finished the 50-yard dash. Northeastern amassed a total of 18 points.
An incident in connection with Beatty's record performance stood out as the high light of the meet. Encouraged and told male he gave leaders a race until the last few yards and collapsed as he crossed the finish line in 2:04. Undaunted by this misfortune he returned to the track in less than five minutes to achieve his mark in the hurdles. Not contented with that, he ambled down to the pit and barely missed placing in the shot. His was the most remarkable showing ever made here in the meet. Freibel of Gary, Ind., made an exceptionally strong showing by scoring 10% points to clinch fourth place. O'Brien, star hinder of Freebel, burst Uhuru foot in the yard high hurdles when he seemed an almost winner over Beatty. Beatty managed to win by inches.

MORGAN WINS FROM LINCOLN UNIVERSITY 5
Clark and Silvera Are the Stars
Baltimore, Md., March 23—Morgan college defeated Lincoln university of Pennsylvania in a spirited game at day evening, 25 to 20. Fifteen hundred fans witnessed the struggle which was one of the best contested games seen in these parts this season, guarding on the part of both teams. Lincoln drew first blood when Silvera stole under the basket and then came down the side line. Then came down the decker. This lead was short lived, however, when Clark and Spencer retaliated with two and one field goal, and until the end of the first half the teams alternated in leading. The first half ended with Lincoln 12, Morgan 11. Morgan came out with blood in her eyes in the second half and soon had Lincoln trailing. Cutie Brown shot one from the center of the court, and Jones followed in quick success with two fouls. Silvera began shooting and brought the score within point of Morgan's lead. At this point, and Clark made one field goal.
With a five point lead Morgan resorted to a freezing game with three minutes to go. By superior passing touch or take the ball from Morgan's possession, Silvera was high scorer for Lincoln with 12 points, while Clark led the Morgan aggregation with nine points. The Morgan college girls defeated the Washington Y. W. C. A. team in the preliminary game.

BASEBALL ON TRIAL; ZERO HOUR ARRIVES
---
Owners Must Go Over Top or Quit
NSEBALL is on trial. In fact it has been on trial for several years, and it must meet its 360 hour
B
Ask any World war
vet what "the zero
house is and he will
tell you."
What we mean by
that is both in the East and West—
fans will know before the season is
beginning—whether there will
be any money or not or
and the reason is clear as crystal.
Some magnates or rather those
apposed to be magnates have helped
to dig their own graves.
Busten a business, but business
men don't always make baseball
men.
Bolden started a war on the west-
ern, league several years ago, and
sought to help other owners in the East offered
diluring salaries to the best players
who jumped.
Hindle profited some, but in doing
sale he hired men who had invested
in baseball. The salaries could not
be met from money taken in at the
gate and had to be met out of savings
from other enterprises, and
conduced them like George Washington
and others were forced out of
the game.
Bolden now says the Eastern league
to joke. We ask him who made it
the joke it is—he was one of its
heads.
The easterners soon realized their predicament and sought an agreement wherein each league respected the other's rules and players' contracts and placed a salary limit on an athlete. Last year in Detroit the East asked for a reduction in both player limit and salary limit. One man objected. He was a westerner, John M. Schorling of Chicago, but the amendment was adopted at the joint session of Congress this year in Harrison, Hillside and the Brooklyn Royal Giants are out of the Eastern league.
Last year the Lincoln Giants were out.
This year they are back.
Bolden withdraws so he can raid clute.
He has smatched the "jumping" Oscar Charleston from the Atlantic City characers about 50 yards ago. Bolden grabbed Warfield from Detroit and caused a break with the West which resulted in a dozen or more western players, including Oscar Charleston of Indianapolis, Strong of the American Giants, Curry of the Monarchs, Wade Johnson of the same club and others to bolt the new organization and go eastward.
All this does baseball little good.
The knocking of the club owner by the other, the squeezing of the same club and others to bolt the schedule making that practically makes it possible for one or two clubs to win the pennant, thus making the other four or six clubs no longer league, therefore baseball is at its zero hour as far as success as a league goes.
Out West it is about the same.
He got out, according to his own words, because St. Louis made a determined effort to "quagree" he and Louis in the Kansas City Monarchs in the schedule making in 1927, making a determined stand to keep the Monarchs out of Chicago as much as possible. St. Louis was able to get some colorful men to move who were new in the business. Those same followers see a different "light of day" this year.
St. Louis in a playoff with the Kansas City Monarchs in 1925 raised L because Tube Foster, the president of the national umphires should be used in the series. Unable to get competent ones of Color, he did the next best thing and sent down two white men from Chicago. Louis fans with one or two owners of the club raised a fury.
The fans attempted to boycott the park. They took the matter to the morning daily paper and the weeklies of the president, etc., but St. Louis didn't realize that the agitation that they themselves started acted as a boo-mering and as a result St. Louis did not draw the crowds to see Kansas and had been—nor do the American Gains draw there like they used to. Nobody is to blame but St. Louis and the management there.
And so it has been all along the line with the possible exception of Chicago and Kansas City and without the methods used by some of our present owners who know very little about any kind of business matters and still less about baseball. Then more, too, matters that should have been straightened out behind closed doors were aired to the public.
Newspaper men, hungry for news and unable to know what should be leased to the public, have printed personal squabbles between owners and now wonder why baseball is almost a dead issue in their home towns as far as a league is concerned. Because owners refused to be shaken down or refused to hand out money attacks have been made on them and owners have become thoroughly disgusted. The Tenny Blount-Foster controversy just about sent Detroit on the rocks as a baseball city and it has been blasted by Blueston, president of the Negro National league, and others to straighten

Graduate of Tuskegee institute, who is holding his own in C. C. Pyle's cross-country marathon. Gardner won the 19th lap March 21, going from Holbrook across the desert to Navajo (pronounced Na-va-ho), Ariz. His time for that lap was 6 hours, 41 minutes and 25 seconds for the 4th lap, a distance of 12 miles from Denver for first place on the 20th lap from Navajo to Luston, Ariz. The time was 5 hours, 9 minutes and 30 seconds for 34 and 2-10ths miles. Gardner is eight hours behind the leader. The total number of hours counts. Monday Gardner won the 23d lap, although he is in sixth place for total hours elapsed. Phillip Granville, Canada, is in seventh place and will be memorialized a distance race in New York and around Toronto a few years ago. All except Gardner and Granville are white. The prize list totals $43,500. Gardner won a number of cross-country races while a student at Tuskegee and since his graduation he has annexed several marathons in and around Seattle, Wash.
it out and it isn't settled yet and it may not be.
All these so-called grievances were directed at one man.
Everybody attacked Rube Foster for no other reason than his club was winning ball games. They charged him with everything but murder in their home town papers and then wondered why attendance fell off.
Rube is still sick.

Giants Club
That's unfortunate for our baseball. He was an organizer and the police confidence in him. Judge Hinton picks up where Rube left off. No one wants the judge's job because he wants to win. We hope he can straighten out the tangle and get things to working smoothly, but it's one big task.
With the season staring us in the face things look rather dubious. The ball games and baseball towns in the country once. In the first three years that a league club was there Detroit had brought to its owner more money than C. I. L. Tayler had made in his whole lifetime in the business. C. I. got out of a sick bed against the ball and to attend a leaguit meeting and died. His widow tried to carry on where he left off, but couldn't.
Cleveland has been in and out of the league and back in it again. Toledo, Cincinnati, Dayton, Milwaukee, has been represented in the league and have all dropped by the wayside. Birmingham came, went and is
Birmingham came, went and is back.
Memphis came in, went out and came back.
Chicago and Kansas City have both been in the game, willing to go along and continue for the good of baseball, but as Bert Williams used to say, "There be some changes made."
Fans have been touted up regarding the games are different now than in 1918.
Writers who can't see farther than their nose point out the salaries of big league clubs—anything for the purpose of an up dissension.
Let's figure a bit.
Kansas City Monarchs have a good ball club. The salary of the club per month is about one-third of what is paid the Kansas City club in the American association.
Why?
Because in one series of five games with Toledo the Kansas City Blues took in $3,500—more money than the New York Yankees than the Chicago White Sox will take in more money at one Sunday game with the New York Yankees than the Chicago owner will make all season at home.
Weekday ball doesn't pay in the league. That means if you don't make it on a Sunday you're out of the league. Some men can't stand what Wilkerson had to contend with last summer—lose money in the league because Kansas to make the season a profitable one. He hit rainy weather in Detroit and then had his club six five days after the season began, naming a uniform right at the start. Then moved over to St. Louis and got less than $1,400 for five days' play. Deduct rail fare from Kansas City and you get $1,100 plus salaries and see for yourself. We have summed the situation up just as it is—think it over and make your own conclusions. The meantime-baseball is on trial.
Chicago Defender WORLD'S GREATEST WEEKLY
Riggins Now With Lincoln Giants Club
New York, March 26—The Lincoln Giants will open their season April 1, although the league race won't start until April 15. John Henry Lloyd, Giant manager, is busy lining up his various prospects for tryouts and many of the fans will be compelled to acquaint themselves with the 1927 season the pitching staff was both erratic and uncertain, while first base was decidedly weak. However, due to the collapse of the Giants, the team on the market, giving Keenan an opportunity to sign Cooper and Gardner, pitchers, with the added addition of receiving an option on Ray Candy, leading shortstop in Eastern circles.
Jimmy Black Winner Over P. Wrangley
If Paul Wrangley ever gets into the ring again with Jimmy Black of Los Angeles the St. Paul white boy will have to learn some ring ethics or else make Jimmy mad again and take another walloping. With things about even in the second round of the four-round bout at the Coliseum Thursday night, Wrangley his Black a trite low, Jimmy Black a trite low, and to continue when Wrangley took advantage and, belted Jimmy on the jaw. Then Black got hot under the skin as the rabid fans who were pulling for the St. Paul boxer, he knocked Wrangley to the canvas in the third round. Then he gave him boxing lesson for the remaining third and fourth rounds.

SNOW, COLD BALK SPRING PRACTICE HERE
SNOW, COLD BALK SPRING PRACTICE HERE
Monday's Storm Halts Am. Giants' Work
HE American Giants started their spring practice last Wednesday and including Sunday, but on Monday there was nothing to ground because the weather man re-
versed his gears and the thermometer dropped from 77 degrees, the warmest March days we've known to have, to a rain, snow and sleet storm.
Consequently Tuesday morning the warm Sunday hadn't thawed out the ice and the grounds were in a frightful condition.
Sunday, Premier Trimble of Princess Anne left his greenhouse business long enough to drop into town, look over some of the players and have a long confab with the "committee of one" Dick Bassett and an old friend. This conference was that the Hon. Mister Jelly signed to play with the American Giants for 1928.
With the hard hitting and fast fielding hardness in camp and Bowie Warner in uniform, Dave Marlarcher and Coach Sam Crawford turned their thoughts to other channels.
As the Giants open Easter Sunday against the Duffy Florals, the team seems to get to working smoothly.
At present it looks as if the outfield will be Swett, Gardner and Davis. An effort is being made to trade Jackson, last year's outfielder and outfielder, for Rogers, the left defender. Marlarker will hold down third, Bobby Williams will play short, with Charlie Williams at second. Jim Brown most likely will play the infield. Back of the plate will be the ever reliable Pythas Russ, who is expected on the scene any day from his Kentucky home. Johnny Hines will have to play the outfield, Johnny, because of his hitting, may be used in the outfield at times, especially if Swett is assigned to the first base job. Marlarker, like Foster, Miller and Jackson, will in form. Rube Currie is still a holdout and may be trued to Cleveland. Marlarker is looking over another good left hand hurler, but won't pass out any information on his hitting. Weather permitting, the regular practice will continue at 11 each morning. The Giants are out for the third game in a row and will be 50 per cent stronger this year than in 1927.
Wichita Wants Franchise
Welchit, Kan., March 27.—Several prominent business menn have organi-zed a company to finance a basecamp in the Pacific, and a machine in the National league. Men like Des. Perry Bell, Farmer and farmer are interested in the movement.
Hamilton, Ont., March 22.—Phil Edwards of New York university, established a new Canadian indoor record for the 600-yard run in a special race here last night. Edwards covered the distance in 1 minute 13 seconds, leading his two Canadian rivals, Edwards and Hamilton, to the tape. Edwards' time, however, was one and two-fifths seconds slower than the world's record of 1:11-3-5, set by Alan Helfrich of the New York A. C. in 1925.

PRACTICE TILT IS WON, 10 TO 9, BY HAMPTON
BY JAMES B. CLARK
Hampton Institute, March 24—The Y. M. C. A. of Newport News, Va.
was the first team of the season to feel the sting of defeat as given by the Hampton baseball nine. Hampton possessed at all times a comfortable lead until the eighth inning when Finch, Hampton's pitcher, weaked and allowed the C.A. A. to Dylr. Hampton's captain, drove out a home run to bring in the winning run. The game ended 10 to 9 in favor of the big blue and white aggregation.
With what is believed to be one of the best possibilities for a championship baseball team, Charles H. Williams, physical director, has outlined the requirements for the teams. The services of Vernal Brown, former star third sacker, have been secured as coach for the nine. Last year he produced a team that had had six players in the first six making. This year a number of the men are back among them ex-Captain Williams, McCowan, Captain Byrd, Murray, Quinn and Finch. These men are hard hitters who added old players to their positions are filled by good men that the coaches are confident will help bring the baseball championship to Hampton.
The season's schedule is as follows: Petersburg, April 7; Hampton, April 10; Union, April 12; Shaw, April 13; Lincoln at Hampton, April 16; Hampton at St. Paul, April 15; Hampton at Durham St., April 20; Hampton at Shaw, April 21; Durham St. at Hampton, May 3; St. Paul at Hampton, May 12; Hampton at Petersburg, May 15.

He single by Davis, the other coming in the ninth after one batter had been retired. Sulton struck out 18 men and allowed only two to reach third base. R. H. E.

LANGFORD IS WINNER OVER BERT COLIMA
LANGFORD IS WINNER OVER BERT COLIMA
Chicago Middleweight Fouled by Mexican
Los Angeles, Cal., March 21.—Wolcott Lenglund of Chicago was wounded by Bert Colima, Mexican middleweight, in the fifth round and the bout was awarded to Langford by Referee Holobrow, who had previously warned Colima for hitting low in the same round.
Up to the time of the foul the battle had been waged on even terms. Langford had taken a flop to the canvas in round three for the count so that he forced so many wellops in Colima's bread basket that Bert began to swing wild and hit low.
There was no question as to the foul blow and as a result the state athletic committee suspended Colima for 30 days.
Rematched
The two buxers will be rematched
soon as Collins gets a grandpa.
Collin's suspension is lifted. The Chicago battler has won many friends on the coast by his ability to get and set up a crown to be a proud pleaser and is allways there banging away whether in front or behind. From those at the ringside it was learned that in the fifth Wolcott had taken the play away from the Jexican and was on his way to a victory.

Washington, D. C. March 20. -Although Dr. J. Harden Johnson and Rev. F. I. A. Bennett, members of the board of education, were advised of the improper use of the Wilson Normal school for the holding of meetings to arouse race hatred through the advocacy of restrictive governments, neither of them made any nest at the board meeting Wednesday.
During the meeting the word "tragedy" was frequently used. Specialized morality and intellectually superior to whites of the neighborhood, but nevertheless they were objectionable humanity and can never equal the whites.
The question of publishing the book was the locality who had refused to sign restrictive covenants was argued. The radical element of the organization tarred and feathered. The more soher element insisted that publication of names would be bad strategy, a prospect to those property owners who had not signed restrictive covenants. The covenant which formed the basis for the best form to be used to exclude our people from owning or occupying property in Columbia Heights. Each borderline has a captain and a corps of workers making efforts to secure the signature of the 5 per cent of proprietors of the neighborhood, but refused to sign restrictive covenants.
In 25 blocks all property owners have signed these agreements except 70. An agreement covering a block is not binding until every property owner signs the agreement. The Columbia Heights Citizens' association meets on the second Wednesday night in the auditorium of the Wilson Normal School. Dr. Dr. Johnson and Rev.

Africa Visits City
Bishop C. C. Alleyno of the A. M. E. Zion church, is stopping in the city as the guest of Rev. F. D. Douglas of 1812 Vineennes church. The bishop has just returned to this country from Cape Coast, West Africa, commonly known as the British Gold Coast, where he has been for the past four years in the interests of his church. He was supervisor of 90 schools in the town and the present bishop is in the country to attend the general conference of his church to be held in St. Louis, Mo. May 2.
