Chicago Opens Doors to A. M. E. General Session DEPRIEST NOMINATED FOR CONGRESS --- ALL AMERICA MOURNS FOR M. B. MADDEN ALL AMERICA MOURNS FOR M. B. MADDEN They laid Martin B. Madden to rest Monday. Out on the side of a wind-swept hill at Hinsdale, Ill., in a cemetery hardly as large as the yard surrounding the stately colonial home, a scant half mile back along the highway, with the sun, making ineffectual attempts to brighten the scene—Martin B. Madden was buried. And as the heavy bronze casket was being lowered into the earth while thousands of American citizens, all while thousands of American citizens, all rose—American citizens all stood with bared heads, it was felt that one of the greatest statesmen of all times was being laid to rest. The cemetery in the manner in which Mr. Madden was given his last rites. Those who knew him knew that he would have been in public esteem and in confidence, rubbed shoulder with the lowly for the chance to be near and to hear. There was no preference, no ticketing. There was no preference, no ticketing. As the services, conducted by Rev. James Shears Montgomery, chaplain of the house of representatives, who was to be held at Hindale, were concluded, those who had stood for two hours in the rain and wind were allowed to lie through the Madden house to get a glimpse of America's most loved man. The same simple ceremony that characterized the funeral services were carried out throughout. Huntsville, the burial plot and walking, two by two, on each side of the cars were the pallbearers, honorary and active. They walked along, heads bowed, obeying that there are color distinctions. They tried to try out to the minutest details the wishes expressed all his life by Mr Madden. And so they walked and rode, these mourners, black and white and black together and singly to the resting place of Martin B Madden. Among the Pallbearers Seen among the mourners along the road were Osour DePriest, a friend of Mr. Madden's for 25 years, who has been a member of the Republican ticket; Mayor William Hale Thompson of Chicago; Robert S. Abbott, also a friend of Mr. Madden of many years standing and serving in the city; Senator Charles S. Deneen; William R. Dawes, brother of the vice president of the United States; Daniel M. Jackson, wealthy Chicago business man and Republican ward commissioner; and Eddie Eddsdlp, who forgot his prejudices and his hatreds long enough to bow along with those he has done so much to injure because of the respect he heaped upon him. Every man in congress; Bishop Archibald Carey, civil service commissioner; Alderman Louis E. Anderson, and a host of others. Several of the political leaders of the organization which Mr. Madden represented for 25 years in congress sent delegations to the funeral. From the Third ward was a group of six persons headed by the mayor, Mr. DePriest. Others in this group were John Hawkins, James Lannigain, Ross D. Brown, Capt Moss Frye and Assistant Corporation Counsel Henry Proctor. The funeral was at the funeral. Just the simple rites read for the Montgomery, the brief review of Mr. Madden's Life and career, the mention that he was loved by all races and all ages, and that he missed all missed for 21 years—but even his enemies resigned him—and the funeral was over. The long waited while thousands filled past to view the remains, the burial to the cemetery, the repose to the unassigned back to the earth—his earth. Martin Barnaby Madden was 73 years old at the time of his death, and he was a long-time supporter of some time, it was thought that he was doing exceptionally well when he was stricken suddenly in Washington Friday, when a committee meeting. At the time of his collapse he was with Representative Sproul, also of Illinois and one of his best friends in Washington. Mr. Sproul said that when he expired a few minutes later. All America Shocked When word of his death was dashed over the wires all America was shocked. Especially in the First Conference he was the one who he had recently been renominated by an overwhelming vote for the next session, was the news keenly felt. Undoubtedly he was one of the best representatives the country had Washington. Sent there to represent a district, three-fourths of the Race, he never flinched nor hesitated in his duties. All the tweets about catering to the hunt at him by southern representatives failed to dazzle him. Whenever his district or the Race represented by the majority of per- THIS PAPER CONSISTS OF TWO PARTS - PART ONE CONFEDERATE UNIFORM GETS N.Y. PROTESTS New York, May 4—The appearance of Robert E.

There has been only one acknowledgment. It came from the secretary of one of the candidates. In his letter Representative Tinkham said he did not believe whether he favored enforcement of the mandatory provision in the 14th amendment to the Constitution, which provides that there shall be a reduction in presidential in the hands of representatives and in the electoral college in proportion to the disfranchisement which exists in certain states.

Next Week NON Hold 1 FREE Hold Four for Killing in FREE FLORIDA OFFICERS CHIEF, COPS ACQUITTED OF SLAYING BOY Jury Returns Verdict in Short Time Miami, Fla., May 4.—Hope for justice in the Florida courts at the hands of prejudice jurors was abandoned here Saturday when a jury deliberating less than four hours returned a "not guilty" verdict freeing H. Lelle Quigg, former police chief of this city, and three subordinates charged with the murder of H. Kier, young bellboy at the El Comodora hotel, in 1925. Evidence of the condemning nature had been introduced at the trial by the state in an effort to convict Quigg, who was suspended from the force two months ago when he was indicted for first degree murder. One of the detectives, Tom Nazworth, formerly of Georgia, admitted he shot the bellboy in a secluded section of N. Seventh Ave. July 16, 1925, when a police party at the alleged direction of Quigg took the youth from the city jail to give him "the works." Nazworth claimed self-defense, although it was proven the prisoner was unarmed and at the mercy of his captors. The charge to the jury limited the verdict to acquittal or first degree murder. Chief to Resume Job The former chief of police, under whose administration numerous acts of violence have been reported, stated after his acquittal that he expected soon to resume his duties as chief law upholder. Among the outrages laid to men working under Quigg is the murder of John Mabry by Nelson Ward, a white policeman. Mabry was forcefully held notwithstanding the fact that his accuser of the theft of a $25 phonograph machine begged for his liberty when Mabry promised to repay her. The first thing Quigg did after being liberated was to visit the city stockade, where four other members were held under murder indictments.

Conference The 28th general conference of the A. M. E. church will convene in Chicago on May 7. The sessions will last approximately three weeks.

The conference will be held in the armory of the gallant Eighth Illinois regiment of infantry at 35th St. and Giles Ave. It will be the largest general conference ever as- general conference ever assembled in the history of the denomination. The church was founded by Richard Allen immediately after the American Revolution. In 1784 he was appointed the first president of conference in Baltimore, when Francis Asbury was set apart as the first American Methodist bishop. In 1757 he was appointed the first deacon from the St. George Methodist congregation in Philadelphia because of segregation. With his personal funds Allen purchased a blacksmith shop in Philadelphia, Philadelphia, and started the Bethel society. In 1792 Bishop Asbury dedicated the church and in 1816 the first general conference, or convention, was held with 17 delegates presided over. Marvelous growth Since the days of Richard Allen, marvelous has been the growth of the A. M. E. church. Before the Civil War, the church extended from Boston, New York and Philadelphia in the East, to Charleston, S. C., in the South, but after the war there was rapid extension westward to the Ohio valley and the prattle region. In the meantime there were advance outposts at Pittsburgh, Chicago and St. Louis.

NATIONAL EDITION Coroner and Attorneys in Many Clashes The coroner's probe into the slaying of James C. Overton, 5111 State St., who was shot to death April 8 while being initiated into the "Onward Christian Soldiers" movement at Foresters hall, 44th and State Sts., was resumed Wednesday afternoon at the 48th St. police station with Deputy Coroner E. M. Cleaves presiding. Six men were taken into custody by the Wabash Ave. police shortly after murders made by dies McCord, 4716 Michigan Ave., president and founder of the O. C. S. movement; Washington Branch, 466 E. 35th St., vice president; his brother, Sheddrick Branch; J. T. McCray, Calumet Ave., Billion Clark, 3607 Calumet Ave., and Albert Clark, 4602 Calumet Ave. Clark Fired Shot Clark fired the shot that killed Overton while the latter sat Bedford-folded with the other and did not initiate into the order. But Clark, it appeared, was an innocent man. Overton, in unlindered along with Overton when McDonald, as a part of the initiating program, snapped a revolver into his face, then ordered the fold taken from clark's eyes. It was stated, McDonald ordered, the own testimony, then passed the gun to Clark with the directions for him to go through the same ceremony with Overton. Clark obeyed his instruction, the apon, and instantly Overton was killed in front. Assisting McDonald in the initiation were Washington Branch and McCray. Shedrick branch said he agreed with McDonald Saturday night to unpaint the gun. All told conflicting stories and all denied any arranged plot to kill Overton, who was secretary of the movement and reported to be McDonald's rival for unpainting rank of the U, N, L, A, Marcus Garvey's organization. Four Are Held The inquest closed at 8 p.m. when the jury held McDonald, the Branch brothers and McCray on a charge of murder and exonerated Clark and Murphy. Clark, it was pointed out that McDonald had jumped from McDonald to kill Overton if there had been a plot hatched to get him out of the way. Attorneys Harold Tyler, G. C. Adams and C. C. Wimbish represented the f. mlly of the deceased and the George clark. Backwell appeared for the defence. Clash between the coroner and attorneys were frequent, resulting in threats of their ejection from the room by Deputy Coroner Cleaves. INTRUDER FALLS 4 FLOORS TRYING TO FLEE ARREST New York, May 4—The screams and cries of Mrs. Bette White, 247 W. 135th St. late Tuesday night when a patient attempted to enter her bedroom wiedow, caused the intruder to lose his balance and hurtle down the air shaft to the court yard four stories high. When an ambulance from Harlem hospital arrived, the attendant surgeon found that the suspect had fractured his skull and both legs in the fall, and is not expected to live. He was taken along the outside ledge to the bedroom since entering the hospital. The police think that he climbed out of the fourth floor hallway window and along the outside ledge to the bedroom since entering the hospital. They believe the cries of Mrs. White caused him to undertake a hurried escape in which he lost his balance. He took the man's fingerprint but the police do not identify him from them. The intruder was about 25.5 feet 8 inches tall, brown complexioned, had brown eyes, and was clean shaven. He wore a black shirt, brown trousers, brown shoes and socks, and a light gray cap. Mrs. Kip Rhinelander Delayed in Her Action New York, May 4—As a result of Justice Morschauer's absence from his bench in the supreme court at White Plains, Judge Samuel Swinburner, the Rhinelander, was blocked in his move this week to secure an attachment against Leonard Klp Rhinelander's real estate firm. On the first of next week Mrs. Rhinelander's attorney will go into court and make a formal application suit by publication. An attachment on all of Rhinelander's New York property to guarantee payment of allonyum will be also sought at this PRICE TEN CENTS RESS NAME GOES ON BALLOT FOR FALL VOTING Unanimous Choice of Party Leaders Oscar DePriest, astute political leader and the first member of the Race to be elected alderman in Chicago, has been named to succeed the late Congressman Martin B. Madden on the Republican ticket. The action, at which Mr. DePriest was nominated, took place Tuesday afternoon behind closed doors in the city hall, and followed accurately the information which had already gained headway in Chicago. As the unanimous choice of the congressional nominating committee, composed of five ward committees in the First congressional district of Illinois, Mr. DePriest's name will go on the ticket to replace that of Mr. Madden, who was nominated in April to make the run in November. First in 27 Years And since nomination in the First district is almost the equivalent of election, it appears very strongly now that Oscar DePriest will be the next congressman from this district—the first member of the Race to be elected to the national body in 27 years. In his selection, he received all of the votes of the committees, in which five wards are interested. Three of the wards are represented by white men, and are represented by white men. The First district is made of the First, Second, Third, 11th and 13th wards, and the committeemen of these wards are represented by white men. The first powered by law to name the nominees in this case. They are Daniel Serritella, First; Daniel Jackson, Second; Daniel Jackson, Third; 11th and John Oberta, 13th. The career of Oscar DePriest is very much parallel to that of the man he is to succeed. Born in Florence, Italy, he attended the public schools. In 1889 he came to Chicago and six wards, self, following the painting and decorating trade, for which he received training in Kansas. In 1912 he was elected alderman from the Second Lifetime Partnership He had already met Congressman Madden, and the friendship started when both of them were young and open-minded, and he helped him with lasted throughout Mr. Madden's life. When the First district was more than two-thirds white, Mr. DePriest campaigned for Mr. Madden, and his selection at this time was not a success. White walked out more than quarter of a century ago. Mr. White, who represented a district in North Carolina in the 55th and 56th congresses, died a few years ago, and who have sat in congress are still alive. One of them, Major John R. Lynch, who served in the 43rd, 44th and 47th congresses from Mississippi, is a patent expert in the field, who represented South Carolina in the 51st congress, now residues in Philadelphia. FOUND GUILTY OF SLAYING MAN TEN YEARS AGO Jesup, Ga. May 4.—The trial of Jim Bailey, who was charged with murder in connection with the death of his wife, and who was soon ended Friday afternoon, April 27, when the jury returned a verdict of guilt. Carter was in charge of the commissary of the Hercules Powder company and Bailey was enraged by the same company. According to the statement of the murdered man, he went over to Bailey's house because Bailey was having some trouble with his wife and finding his pistol living on the dresser. He took it back to the commissary. Bailey came over and asked him for it and Carter replied that he was going to keep it until after the hollow door. He said he would get into trouble. Bailey again told him he had to have the pistol, and when Carter refused to give it to him he went off and got a shotgun and came back and shot Carter. He escaped and was only recently captured. Sheriff James O. Matoro, of Wayne county, brought him back from Tampa, Fla., where he was arrested. The jury was out 35 minutes and presented the state, while William D. Turner was counsel for the defense. PART 1-PAGE 2 METHODISTS TO CONVENE HERE MONDAY A. M. E. Bishops Now Arriving in City (Continued from Page 1) state.

"Alley life is not only unsanitary, but it also harms morals and good citizenship," stated Rev. Fuller. "Many good people live in alley for economic reasons, but while they gave a few dollars in rent, they lose thousands of dollars in the economy." Boys who are crowded in the alley and congested tenement find other places more attractive than home and become "the gangs of young criminals, the white males of the juvenile court," said the speaker. Neglect Harms Society "The Race boy today," he continued, "needs the influence of a good school system. The ignorant boy is a burden to himself and to the community. He needs facilities and keep him ignorant and superstitious does not work out to anyone's advantage. The facilities offered for a Race boy's education are out to be inadequate. The school building is in poor condition and unsantatory and the teachers are poorly paid and inefficient. In the long run society pays the price for the neglect in juvenile delin Gives Youth Chance "The boy needs a clean community in which to live and grow. He needs a cleaner field of fun. His environment up. Give the boy a chance to be well born, to be reared in a well ordered home. Give him the chance to a modern school year and a physical culture. Give him a community with modern improvements. Give him parks, playgrounds and clean recreation. Give him will give you a brand of citizenship of which you will be proud."

Where did it originate? Who first used it? These are questions that have puzzled many, and few are able to answer. According to Monroe N. Work, editor of the Negro Year Book, this is how it came in existence: "In Charleston, S. C., in the early 1830s, there was a hotel keeper who had two slaves, both of whom were named James. In order not to have both respond when he called he instructed one a queen and a further designation the bourds, because he was very black, added Crow," Jim Crow appears to have led an eventful life. He was born around the time of the gold sold by Charleston, then in New Orleans, and later was emancipated. He lived for some time in London, where he acquired a cune, 1839. He was published in London in the book of 231 pages, entitled "The History of Jim Crow." RECEIVES NOTE OF THANKS FROM MARTIN B.

Oklahoma Wins Fight Oakland, Cal., May 14—The United States circuit court of appeals last week ordered Edward Glass, who has been fighting extradition to his home state, Oklahoma, for many months with the aid of many citizens along the Pacific coast, to be returned to Sapulpa, Oklahoma, to stand trial for the alleged murder of a white policeman. There is little hope held that Glass can further delay his departure to the Midwestern state. The fear that he would be lynched if returned caused Glass to employ every legal effort to light the extradition warrant of the Oklahoma authorities. He submitted he was the man wanted, but denied committing the murder, and said he fled the state in fear of his life after he had been shot by police who invaded his home without provocation.

NEW LOW PRICE ART 1—PAGE UNDREDS AT PENING OF WOMEN'S HOME Cleveland, Ohio, May 4.—There one thing which we must keep in mind, black and white alike," deserved Dr. Robert Busson Maun, principal of Tuckeridge institute at the University of Missouri, for association building in this city, the greatest of its kind in the country, on April 24 and 25. "There is one thing about which we must not fool ourselves," she says. "This is that Race has and always will insist upon having every light and privilege of any American citizen, the right to save to work manpower, the right to say in government affairs, and the right to be treated not as a lack man nor yet as a white man, but as a man and an American citizen." "For the sake of ourselves, our children's children and our God, we must strive sincerely and honestly to bring this to pass. Else Christianity and failure." Dr. Moton concluded to the 00 prominent Cleveland citizens of both races, who packed the gymnasium of the new building at the university which began the two-day penultimate South Growing Better Dr. Moton also declared that today the South is more aggressive in seeing that justice is done our people but not our history. He lauded the building of the association's new nine-story structure as one of the first examples of what he had ever known. Miss Jane E. Hunter, founder and executive secretary of the association, was praised her devotion and service on her race. Phyllis Wheatley association was founded in 1814. Miss Hunter had interest in the white children, wealthy white friends whom she had interested in her dream for her people raised $1,300 more. The board was made up of men on both races, and side by side they have worked and struggled all through the years for a dinner assortment of 150 girls in the rooms, the next 75, and the new one can house 135 girls in addition to the educational department, the parlor, the offices and reading rooms. Gets Community Aid The first years of the association were a struggle for funds to keep going, but in 1918 the organization moved to the Cleveland community fund, so that all worry for funds for maintenance was past. Today the yearly budget of the Association (Uses $486,000, with $449,000 received from the community fund). Telegrams were received from almost every state in the union concluding success. Visiting guests came from all parts of the country to congratulate Miss Hunter on the opening of the association, for the service of women and girls. Among them was Mrs. Mary McLean Bethune, president of the National federation of Colored Women, who spoke at the evening meeting in the second day of the opening. It is estimated that almost a thousand women attended the building on inspection tours during the two days of the opening. Countee Cullen Speaks Cleveland. Ohio. May 4.—Before more than 250 people, the majority of whom were white, Countie Cullen, a woman from Woman's City club (wild) last Friday evening. Charles W. White, who is president of the organization which sponsored the poet's appearance here, told me that he began before each verse. Cullen offered a bit of explanation, sometimes giving the source of his inspiration for that particular poem. "For that particular poem," he answered, the answer to his father's indictment of his love poems; "Yet Do I Marvel" was written when the poet was barely 18 and, therefore, before the date of Vandercole's "Black Majesty." "A Race poet," explained Cullen, "must divide his verse into two classes: those he writes because he has the subject, and those he writes because he is of the Race. If he chooses only racial themes, he is accused of being harmless; if he chooses only general subjects, he is told that he is merely duplication; if he chooses only for him the he has wealth of for him within his own group which he alone has access to and that he should confine himself to these two classes, the dependent spirit which seems to be a part of all poets, which enables them to write just as they feel."

Some are vegetable laxatives, herbs and roots. These are still the basis of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepim, which is a combination of senna and mild laxative herbs, with pepim. Dr. Caldwell did not approve of drastic physics and purges. He did not allow his patients to bring to put into their system. If grown people want to use them no one can deny them the privilege, but they should never be given to children. The simpler the remedy for constipation, the safer for the child and for you, and the better for the general health of all.

A form of intoxication even worse than alcoholic intoxication is what doctors call alcoholism. It means that blood is taking up polson from waste matter in the bowels—making vital organs ablighg and undermining health and vitality. Vital organs, such as the digestive, dyspepsia, and breath, coated tongue—any of them may be Toxemia—and a warning to drive away the polson before it is too late. It can be quickly relieved. Science's remedy is Partola, which purifies the system—kills it of destroying polson that cause Toxemia. It sweetens the stomach and cleanses and sterilizes the digestive system. It drives the system polson, overcomes that tired feeling and puts fresh energy into you. There is nothing "just as good" as Partola. Convenient to take—in mint flavor and great.

New York City SATURDAY, MAY 5, 1928 ALL AMERICA MOURNS FOR M. B. MADDEN ** sons in that district were assailed Mr. Madden was ever on his feet to answer. He fought for every measure that meant added protection and security for the Race, and fought desperately against whatever he found to be detrimental. As chairman of the appropriations committee of the house, easily the most important committee of both houses, Mr. Madden was quite pleased seeing that Howard university was not neglected each year. He not only supported the Dyer anti-lynching bill, but fought for its passage and whipped it through the house three years ago. He was the first to attack the postoffice when they were attacked by prejudiced southerners, and this was often. He was one of the chief allies in the fight to have Representative Hamilton Fish's measure of punishment in France but through congress. He did all these things, and more. And that is why his district felt his importance. He has insured our returns for him today. That Is why Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard university, had the following to say in a telegram immediately prior to his death: 'The Colored people of Washington and of the country are inexpressibly shocked and saddened by reason of the horrible way express my own feeling and the feeling of this university than by what I said in a telegram on Thursday. The Chicago Defender, during his late candidacy; In that telegram I said 'Of the friends of the university the Hon. Martin B. Madden stands out and the halls of congress as a genuine faithful and fearless friend, who has often stood between us and that inaction, and who has insured the national government should withhold its support of this national Negro university. When threats have become so strong, our armed support—and these threats have come as regularly as the seasons Martin B. Madden with other friends has come to our rescue, lightens the burden of the injustice to prevent such an injustice to Negro education. His varied activities in behalf of Negro racial good here at the national capital have led us more to recognize the national representative of the Negro's cause. I can add nothing to the expression of March 30 except to say that the Colored people will ever revered the Fourteenth region of the right, without regard to race, creed or color. "EMMETT J. SCOTT, "Secretary-Treasurer, Howard university Honored in Washington And at the special services held in the hall of the house of representatives in Washington Sunday before the body started to Chicago, the following day, the Race were present by invitation: Mr. Mudden was born in England and was brought to this country when he was a boy. He was poor and he started his career as water boy in a stone quarry in Illinois. At the time of his death he was a banker, a banker, a banker, a banker, and was one of the leading figures in the stone industry of America. He started his political career in Chicago and had served 12 terms in congress from the first district. Another thing suggested by the Armistice day parade is that the veteran of the future should be provided with an elastic wristband.—Detroit News 1. Corns Lift Right Off!

THE MUSICAL BUNCH By DAVE PEYTON THE MUSICAL BUNCH By DAVE PEYTON Things in General The Music Arranger The music arranger is the fellow who doesn't have to worry about a job playing music, staying awake all playing music, a baddling in a night- life resorts, inhaling poisonous plants, and a dozen other things. Ar- ranging music is a cause of the cuppation if the arranger knows the theory of the art in the technical side. In one of my articles several months after I suggested study of this branch to the bunch. You wouldn't be in the beginning, the drift of it you say, "I wouldn't arrange music." adding in night-life resorts, inhaling poisonous air, to humps, and a dozen other things. Arranging music is a very pleasantOccasion, especially for a ranger knows the theory of the art and also the practical side. In one of several months ago in this column I suggested study of this branch to the ranger, and cannot go wrong. It may seem hard in the beginning, but after you get the drift of it you will sit back and say, "I wouldn't take anything for the ranger's made in learning how to The Start Go to some first-class harmony teacher or to some school with a counterpoint harmony and instrumentation. Many have finished in four years and know of a few who mastered the art in less time. After you finish try to get in the office of some arranger in order to complete a day's work, especially the modern dance and popular song music, carries little theory in its orchestral construction, so good to the cur are not theoretical. Here is where each arranger has displayed individuality, as most every arranger have a distinctly different style. Make up your minds, bunch, to learn the art of arranging music, it will make you very independent. A Sad Flight It is so very painful to see the old musicians running around here and there trying to make a living. With the music, the dance, the orchestra, not in any of them, with the probable exception of the symphony. Father Time clips their vitality. They haven't got the pop they want, and they haven't their misfortune. Are you going to let yourself get in this position? Follow this writer's advice, get busy, use your time in trying to find the music of music, "... avoid this night." Pouring < il "Pouring oil" is an expression created by the musicians in Chicago. By that they mean some band has played better than the other. Last Saturday at Carnegie Hall, the trio caged three orchestras played, Clarence Black and his gang, Carroll Dickerson and his gang, and Erskine Tate and his gang. The latter bunch was the guest orchestra and the formers are regularly employed at the Savoy. Erskine Tate's master musicians opened their program with a brilliant piano duet by the Rhuppe later using a slow Rhuppe solo for his second offering. The crowds applauded the single and combined playing of these musicians and everybody danced. Several numbers were played the tempo, which delighted the streamers. A note was handed to the house orchestra by Mr. Fagin, asking them to play with the guest orchestra. This was wonderful. The three bands, consisting of 37 players, rocked the beautiful music of the band. It was Louis Armstrong, a member of Carroll Dickerson's orchestra, which this writer has termed the "Jazz Mission." He would say, Loule poured plenty of oil and it soaked in too. The crowd gathered around him and wildly laughed, and the audience really poured oil last Saturday night. and Carroll Dickerson was as proud master of the robust jazz music master, Louis Armstrong. Our Fine Arrangers Among our arrangers of music Will Vodery is recognized as the foremost. His experience has been broad and on Broadway his name is famous as the arranger for many of the great show-shers of the life on the stage. The Ziofield and arranged much of the music for Ziegfeld's Follies. This writer, with a studio in Chicago's Loop for the past 15 years, has been an ardent student of Mr. Vodery's arrangements and I have quite a few hours before taken for the great music master. This may we have to do with other. This is a compliment, as I have always considered Mr. Vodery a very handsome person. Harry Burgleph is another who has confined his work to the vocal line. His arrangements are listed with the largest de- World. Charles I. Cooke, William Still, J. Russem and Johnson, Joe Jordan. Russell Wooding and Donald Reimond are about our best music arrangers. They are men who know theory and are not faking their way. Though, there is no certain way to do about music arranging, you cannot fool anybody. Musicians have to play them and if the goods are not in them, you as an arranger will have to quit, your business flops and there you are. Get the knowledge right in the music and you may prove it time to be just as good as the above named Well-known music arrangers. About Clay's Bunch Following is an interview with Buddy Brown, one of the theatrical stars with Sonny Clay, director of the orchestra that was alleged to have been expelled from Australia for misconduct. Dear Dave: I just had an interview with Sonny Clay, who has just returned from Australia. "Personally, Sonny is a hard working, outgoing and efficient musician. I was one of his first acquaintances, when he first landed in Los Angeles, and he was very popular. I watched his gradual rise until today he has one of the outstanding bands of the Coast. So I publish a exhortation from his side, which is a letter from influential people of that country to Sonny Clay and let my readers be the judge. But, "Judge ye not your man, but le be judged yourself also." "To American Pressmen and others whom it may concern: Sydney, Victoria, and the city of Australia, small public should be aware of Australian press remarks concerning an incident in Melbourne, where it was alleged that members of Sonny Clark's group engaged in several white girls, which disgrateful scenes had taken place. The facts are as follows: In the court case which followed the magistrate discharged Sonny Clark, the court discharged all concerned. This meant that the Negro musicians had been arrested on a "mistaken charge" of the bounds of law. However, the Australian press, having "strong views" on the "Color question," seized upon the incident the good story, and up until the end of the borders of persecution and victimization. There is more behind the case than meets the eye, and there is more to it than the bad story. There was a "frame up" against the Negro. Only five members of the band were concerned in the incident. Five of the remaining members of the band were being members of war records. Yet all shared the unenviable publicity. In the face of the trade of criticism the management company back it to the U. S., and I wish to state that it is thought that Sonny Clay and his bandmen have had a weapon which, when which we have no power to offset, reify, however willing we may be. "As far as the Tivoli theaters are concerned the conduct of the members of Sonny Clay's band has always been faultless and there can be nothing but their unfortunate position."

It is a narrow stretch of land that lies between Wilmington and Goldsboro, N. C. Many Race showers play this short but paying season. Some women earn as much as $10 a day picking this fruit. Many Race people have seve- rly harvests receive a rich har- vest, as strawber- ries are selling in the 50 and 60 cents Goy Herndon Goy Herndon quart. We in the heart of the section pay 25 cents a quart. When I awakened this morning at Wallace, we noticed a long line of my window-made trucks capable of transporting three and four tons or more. Some here the licenses of New Jersey, New York, Maryland and Illinois. Upon investigation, we found that Coast Railroad wouldn't grant through or manifest train service and the northern companies are sending their trucks down to North Carolina to pick them up. We were picked and the bid given the most moth trucks, with two drivers, start for the North, which is only twelve to twenty-fours to the northern country, and others relocate at this. Each truck from $10 to $11 per truck. Remember this, "a dog, man's serenest friend, will bite you, although raised from a pup, if he thinks he has the advantage of you." That's human nature. The railroads during war time doubled their rates on all privately owned Pullman cars or combination cars: In fact, all show cars. They charged $3.60 a day to sit on their tracks, called it a parking charge, and is still being charged. Then they added a surcharge, about the most outrageous piece of legislation even enacted. You own a Pullman car, for instance; your movement calls for a night move. Well, they charge you 50 per cent of the regular charge. That is, if the regular cost is $300 there is an extra charge of $150 for your people sleeping in your own prate car. Very many men are not automobiles have a big slice in their revenue. I predict that 26 years from today auto trucks will be a primitive instrument in what at that time will be known as the modern age, and the natives will pick their berries during the day while an awaiting airplane will hop off at 7 p.m. with fresh strawberries for the New York market for breakfast.

Race Legion Post For the first time in the 10 years history of the American Legion the national commander officiated March 12 at Lumberton, N.C. It happened at Lumberton, N.C. have always stated in my articles that North Carolina was the most cosmopolitan southern state. Educa- tions were offered in opposite Race, which comes within 15 per cent of the statement; hundreds of miles of paved highways, no lynchings or mob violence in years, and a large number of Wonderful is putting it mildly. Beside the national commander, Edward Spafford, who welcomed the 42 Race members of the new Rozzer-Smith State Commander Albert L. Cox and State Commander Lawrence Oxley, in charge of the Race division, who also spoke at the meeting. The meeting was attended by over a hundred were present. Commander Spafford urged the Race members of the new Legion to center their thoughts and attention on work for disabled veterans, saying that this was still the Legion's chief task and would continue to be until 2015, when black out of white had been cared for. Hats off to North Carolina. Different Shows in Dixie First of all I want to impress, not the general public so much as I would the personnel of different shows traveling in Dixie, that I am in no way persuaded by the management of this or any show that I travel with when I write. No suggestion of any kind is given by the office. For many months I have written to my mentioned a human being on the Silas Green show. In fact I have seen some of my articles provoke the management, rather than please. The Alabama uninstrels, formerly, "Bringing Up Father" show, which I visited in Laurinburgh, N. C. while playing Hamlet, is the same as it formerly was, a truck show with a chicope in a parade to help the four-place hand. The Alabama's have closed, going back to "Bringing Up Father." A. G. Allen, the oldest minstrel title that I can remember, and I understand, with a very good program, has also closed. Reason unknown. The Everett brothers of Boldsbury, N. C., gave a dance at their auditorium which drew a capacity house. Music was finished by the Green orchestra. The Everett brothers gave their orchestra of eight pieces a vacation for the night. Dr. and Mrs. Lighter, cousins of Mary and John, owner of the show, and Mr. Roosa, business manager. We all had a nice time. Mr. G. Gray composed of the Silas Green show songs, is writing a new number, "Mamie Hits Quit Me." Fountain Woods and his 16-piece band are still the talk of Dixie. The band's new album, *Time a band of such capable musicians ever gave a concert to come up to its present standard*, Mall will be the show at Greenville, N. C. —Coy.

It is somewhat of a cross between the Black Bottom and the Charleston, but it was very well received by the patrons Patrick, in the Indianapolis Star, had this to say about them: "A dancing man with his tattoos by Dave and Tressle. Dave is an artist on the popular tap dance and gives his version of some of the songs he has performed and Black Bottom as he confidently promises without missing a tap."

Aima for Success It may often be an incentive for a young girl to a struggle unceasingly, to the eyes of the world are upon her that the same eyes are watching every offered for her ultimate success. It not belittling to declare that each and every effort she makes in her efforts to earn in any field, does not apply to individual work alone, but sometimes classes and clubs of women are linked together to lend their strength to a venture, and the very fact of the mount in the mind of an individual often makes her succeed in spite of herself.

SELDEN FOUNDER HIGHLY PRAISED Brunswick, Ga., May 4. — Speaking before a large audience of students, teachers and people from Brunswick, in the annual Founder's day exercises, President Hubert of the Georgia State Industrial college took occasion to stress character as the foundation for community. Among other things, he said: "Miss Cerrie E. Beanus, founder of this school, possessed character of the highest type. A native of Pennsylvania, the great work of restoration in the period after the Civil War. She came from a woman's part in enduring poverty, injustice and superstition. She knew women and underprivileged human rowing and underprivileged human swimming and underprivileged human tennis, not with her mother's participation." "For years she worked at the Atkinson House college, touched the young men with her magnetic personality and sent her noble ambitions. She left Atlanta and came to this section because she felt she had no noble ambitions. No institution could have a liner and holder example of Christian mission, but this institution by its founder, Miss Carrie E. Beamus. Her spirit of service, her patience, her those savings for others, her willingness to work long and hard for great causes, and her toward which we all ought to aspire. "Today, character is the greatest factor, we need honesty and integrity in business, in school life, in religious life, in retardation in school life, may all be traced back to some failure behind the movement. We need great, strong progressive Christian many issues and principles of present day life. Carrie E. Beamus life was palatable, who lived to serve. We let definite lives to the completion of the mission, looking for men and women who can follow in the path of Carrie E. Beamus serve in their largest possible mission." Sisters Entertain With Elaborate Card Party A party, much discussed because of its splendor and magnificent appointments, was given by Mrs. Robert R. Jackson and her sister, Mrs. Charles Green, at the Appomattox club last Friday afternoon. Nearly one hundred guesle accepted the hospitality of the general hostesses. The club was attractively decorated with spring flowers. Ten prizes were awarded to the guests and those lucky enough to hand in scores calling for trophies were Mesdames Andrew Bacon, Gertrude Ellington, J. Gray Lucas, Leota Riley, Tiny Brown, Edith Woodley, Reginald Smith, Sun White, Grace Bryant and Ralph McCarroll. Mesdames Mayne Carroll, Meuds R. Lawrence and Katherine Harper assisted the hostesses by keeping the scores. Keful Woman nham's Vegetable ound "I was troubled with pains in my sides, abdomen and back and my husband recalled that I had taken Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound eight years ago for health and confinement, so he said I had better try it again. I was very glad that he reminded me and had no hesitation in getting three bottles. Before I had taken the third I was able to get around again and do my houseworks. I am just through taking three more bottles of the Vegetable Compound for general weaknesses, as I was very sick lately after a confinement. I also used Lydia E. Pinkham's Sanitary Wash and found it to be wonderful. If this letter will help you any, I give you full permission to publish the same." To Do Your Work.

Don't Make a Toy of Your Baby Babies Have Nerves BY RUTH BRITTAIN Much of the nervousness in older children can be traced to the overstimulation during infancy, caused regarding baby as a sort of animator for the amusement of parents, relatives and friends. Baby may be teached with, but not to an hour daily. Beyond that, being handled, tickled, caused to laugh or even scream, will sometimes result in vomiting, and invariously causes irritability, crying or fretfulness, crying and sleepsiness from this cause can easily be avoided by treating baby with more consideration, but when you can't see what is making baby restless or unhappy, you can cure, burnish Castoria. It's amazing to see how quickly it calms baby's nerves and soothes him to sleep; it contains no drugs or opiates. It is a wonderful wrapper. Leading physicians prescribe it for colic, colhora, diarrhea, constipation, gas on stomach and bowels, feverishness, loss of sleep and irritability. Over 25 million bottles used a year shows its overwhelming popularity. With each bottle of Castoria, you can wear a weight in gold. Look for Chaz. J. Fletcher's signature on the packs; there are many imitations. "There was a time when my health was not so good," says Mr. Miles Hopkins, of Cattalettbury, Ky. He was taken from gas pains. My system was saturated with poison which was not properly eliminated. From time to time I had severe headaches, and I felt sluggish as I "knew of Black Draught as a medicine for CONSTIPATION so I thought I would try it. For a while I took a small dose every night until my system was rid of the accumulated poison. "I gained in weight and my general health was good. That experience made me realize the merits of Black-Draught. I keep it in my home and when I begin to feel lifeless and dull, I take a dose, after which I feel O. K. again. "I try to keep my system cleansed, and I find Black-Draught a great aid." 25 cents. All druggists.

Advice to the Wise and Otherwise Princess Mysteria SATURDAY, MAY 5, 1928 WOMEN VOTERS' NATIONAL LEAGUE Chicago and St. Louis Had Race Delegates to Convention BY CARRIE K. BOWLEV "To weigh the responsibility of women toward government, and to prepare to take part in the political life of the day," this was the slogan of the National League of Women Voters at the eighth annual session, which was held in New York in 1890 and a total registration of 1,200. The program covered the following subjects: child welfare, women in industry, sexual hygiene and international cooperation, war, and each was presented by ex- Only Chicago and St. Louis had Race Women's League and St. Louis had Race Louis League of Women Voters was the first to extend its privileges to women who were not in the national convention. In St. Louis the first to send a Race delegate to the national convention. In St. Louis the first to send the strongest forces in improving women's privileges in improving women privileges which have previously been denied them. Early in the life of the chairwoman of the leaguetee was formed with the view of studying the special problems of Race women and means of extending the league program to them. The chairman of the leaguetee was a white woman, the present chairman being the chairman of the leaguetee, who was from Texas. Race women who have worked on this com- --- Interracial Meet The interracial meeting of this last session of the league was considered the very best ever held. It was attended by eight Huce women from Virginia, Illinois and Missouri, and 12 white women from North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and Virginia District of Columbia, among whom were Miss Mary McDowell and Mrs. Cheney of Chicago; Miss Mary Anderson of the United States department of labor, and Miss Cornelia Adrir, president of the National Educational Association. The first discussion of the league interracial problems disclosed many interesting facts: First, in southern states where Huce women vote, successful classes in citizenship have been carried on second, in many other states where Huce women are denied ballot, much of the league's program of work has been put over through Race women's clubs and other organizations; third, Miss Mary Anderson announced that the United States has been known as the system of women in industry in the southern states, the result of which will soon be published. Special investigation has been made of Race women in industry for the use of the interracial groups throughout the United Program of Work These activities are in line with the league program and allow additional items were added to the program of work offered to the league. The league office must be made to introduce the league's program of education for children (S. S.

The close co-operation between the league and the state of Virginia and Tennessee was a fine demonstration to other southern states that the league could future bids fair to bring the race women of the United States through the state of Virginia to the university for training in leadership in the stupendous task of educating the greatest number of students and responsibilities of citizenship.

I am a young married woman who is interested in what will happen is kind to me. I will go anywhere with me. I have to go alone. Do you have a car? Is it fair. I am also denied motherhood. Tell me what can do Bright Eyes. Dear Madame: I am in compliance with your letter and I want you to tell us what to do. She thinks should go out with her. I don't like the street, that is why I don't go out with her. As for the baby—I do all I can. Again I have the husband and the wife writing in conjunction to see which I have been fortunate enough to convert both husband and wife as to marriages. I have read between the lines in both letters, so I can see just where both husband and wife should get married they usually expect, wife wings sprouting on the opposite one. During the time of courtship they seem to find surreptice happiness in whatever the mind of either that they cannot find surreptice happiness in whatever the whole atmosphere seems to change. Your trouble is just this, you did not find surreptice happiness in the consequence one of you continually thought the other was wrong. Maybe you superb superb displaying it. Your wife was wrong to not ridiculous in the street, the boss of the home. As such if you were really a husband and a man, you could have shamed her in such a guilty of such again and you be afraid to go out with her. Mistakes happen in such a way that you may be reified if taken in time. Some people play the part of clowns because they may be one, so they to excuse her. Her actions might have been just fun. As to the well, you two get together on that. Dear Princess: I am a married woman 25 years of age. I have been married 30 years of age. I have a husband and a husband is so jealous. I can't even go out and spend an enjoyable evening. I love to be with my wife and I am so lonesome. My life is just one day after another. I am a good friend to my wife and I am the same person but I am human and I like to go out sometimes. My love has gone and I am no longer with my husband. He is so jealous and won't fix himself up. Please tell me what to do. You get bad and go with the coward. There is no form of disgust that compares with the pain that you feel when you begin to see the faults in each other. After beginning to see these same faults there is no reason to unless there is a mutual understanding, whether there is real happiness or not. I wonder if there is another under the most trying conditions MARY MAY An attestation of the popularity of Mrs. Mabel Payne, wife of Attorney Lawrence O. Payne, Cleveland, Ohio, was demonstrated last week by the winner of the contest staged by the N. A. A. C. P., and will be sent to California to its national convention this summer.

Alpha Kappa Alpha in Vocational Guidance With the celebration of national vocational guidance work the Kapoos expat community is situated that is of vital interest to womankind the over. Since the establishment of Institutes of Training, the chairman of the vocational guidance committee, in a most brilliant paper sums up the experience of her literary efforts might well serve as a guide to those contemplating entering the profession. After very briefly outlining conditions when the greater portion of the population is vocational, and the opportunity to see the fundamental work of the world in progress, she is impressed in which specialization is stressed. She says, "Along with other fundamental changes can be a new day for women, imposing new rules and the likelihood that a girl will enjoy a placement before and after marriage. She must meet both situations in her Soror Carter stressed the fact that different occupations require different personalities, but that the age of age is not more idle ability. She says further that "statistics of vocational life show that women are engaged in practically all of the nine divisions of gainful occupations. The two are not as well as women are working, and they're 35 per cent; in medicine, 63 per cent. The field of trained nursing still holds opportunity, library work, social service and various phases of the teaching process.

Mr. and Mrs. John W. Graham of $538 South parkway is leaving St. Louis with many friends present. and are never happy. It is just a case of toleration or sympathy. In various morbidities which would otherwise be broken, you are responsible for binding the ties of matriarchy which would otherwise be broken. You are responsible for unforgivable condition — jealousy. If there is anything that causes more distress than jealousy, then I have yet to encounter it. It is generally conceded, and I have no reason to believe it when translated into English says, "Evil is he who evil thinks." It is not that you can see only cleanliness. If a husband or wife cannot trust the other to do the opposite one is slacking on, then they do not need then. It is a good idea to use the opposite one in person in the world beside yourself. You are just one of the hundreds of people who cannot be caused into doing thing which are not becoming. I do not approve of it, but you do not. The dish is weak. Following the crowd does not get you anywhere, so I do not own. If you find them too unpleasant, there is only one thing to do, and that is to unhappiness and three children are nothing in comparison to years to come. You are young woman and can find the way now, whereas if you wait in expectation of better days with him, you will drift into the future of the most unsparkle distress. Dear Princess: Please tell me what is the correct form of mourning dress? I have a blue coat and I wear a black band on the sleeve. My other clothing is black. My mother died a month ago. My friends are criticizing me for the blue coat, but I was not able to buy another. How long should I wear black?—Manle. In my estimation the correct mourning is the heart and not the clothes. Custom and form have made the use of various colors suitable and often necessary to various states of affairs. Black has for centuries been the color to denote sorrow. This, I think, is because of its somber hue. There are some nations which use bright colors for mourning, but the more enlightened people have been placed in the preference I do not know where the sleeve band mourning came from, but I do think it very bad form. It is all according to one's taste. If you could not buy a coat that was all right. You can mourn in red as well as you can in black. Since your friends think you should have a black coat, let them buy you one. As long as the time is weak black, your mother that is sup to you. You have lost your very deepest friend: still wearing black does not mean a thing unless you feel her loss. Dear friends, I know you wonder why your letters have been so long reaching you. You have been so long reaching you, how full it is, you would not be surprised. Just be patient. You each one get a reply to the letters you have been written to me—Fri-ness.

Declaring that there cannot be two standards for teachers in North Carolina, N.C. Newbold, director of the division of Race education in North Carolina, at the 60th anniversary of Hampton Institute, and the progress in Race education in that state, herings of nothing short of marvelous, "We do not have in North Carolina," he asserted, "and cannot have, two standards for teachers. Such a scheme, one standard for the teacher in another, for Negroes, would be dissatisfied to our race people as it would be difficult to administration." That high school seniors in North Carolina are going on to college was shown by figures comparing the progress over a five-year period. "High school enrollment is around 15,000, with 2,000 men in graduating classes, college enrollment, five years ago, and 484. It is now 1791. Last year 664 high school graduates enrolled in college freshman classes in North Carolina and 162 in colleges outside the state, making a total of 277. Next will be the same percentages, hold on, 1,000, 1,000 of the 2,000 seniors now in high school will enter college." "Hampton." Mr. Newbold declared, "has made a definite contribution to the educational progress of North Carolina. According to the best figures obtained by the said, "Hampton trained teachers are working in North Carolina, including supervisors and principals. We have come to look for three things in Hampton trained teachers, thoroughness and care in what they have received a co-operative spirit, adaptability, and self-control. We offer character, dependability. So far as our information goes they are living up to this standard. They are doing a thoroughly good job. They are working in harmony with white people and black people and the are exerting a good moral influence." He, Newbold made the sentiment that one-third of the Race enrollment, about $5,000 students, was provided with Rosenwald schools, and that good city schools were supported annually and three thirty-six standard high schools have been developed and 75 others are progressing toward standardization. Ten standard higher institutions have been developed, five of them standard four-year classes and two standards year normal schools or junior colleges. Two other four-year colleges will probably become standard in 1929.

Tries to Join Together What Nature Itself Put Asunder Certainly, short skirts, and the shorter the better! That is the slogan of Miss Minnie Fullstler, one of the best known political organizers of the Independent Law, which is found. Any skirt is stupid, because it attempts to join together what nature has put asunder, but if skirts are to be worn at all there are only two possible levels—knee or ground. The knee length shows no划痕, and any other length cuts the limb in two. Could anything be more ungraceful? "Why do humorists always pick out plush tours as the articles of men's clothing may be made to make just about? Why does a man who is adorable in knee breaches and irresistible in a dress suit, look a fool in plus-fours? Because plus-fours are the only garrison men in man's wardrobe which cut his legs in his way." Of course, when we come to crininer and bustles it is another matter. In the days of crinillines women were not supposed to look like human beings. But the height of indeliency to do so in their own way is very enormous skirts they looked like frilly fuchshins or inverted full-blown roses. If they showed no leg, they showed the whole lovely line of the shoulder and the whole arm except the ugly little bit where it follows the only they are wise enough to cover with a little KNOWS ABOUT MICROBES "The Victorian silhouette was pretty in its own way—even the bunched skirts of Du Maurier's 'Cunch' ladies were not unpleasing. Certainly both crinolino and tralling skirt charitably hid many deficiencies, but obviously they cannot return. The modern woman is a real person, not an artificial flower. She knows too much about microbes to want the skirts of Cruff on the ground. She could not golf, drive a car or even get into a post-war house—to say nothing of a bus—in a wide crinoline. "There remains only the knee-length, until such time as women become wise enough to wear knee-breeches for other things than riding." Freedom of limb is as important as freedom of mind—indeed. It is doubtful whether it is to have full free-dem of mind without freedom of limb. Physical stuffiness has a dreadful way of spreading to the mind and spirit. "Shorter skirts by all means. Shorter and shorter and shorter and shorter. It'll they disappear altogether, the sooner the better, but longer—no, not if a million women reach the age of a human."

A doubleheader, starting at 1:30 Sunday afternoon, will be the stellar attraction. The Giants will most likely send Salmon to the mound against the locals, saving Streeter and Polindexter for the twin bill. With Thompson, Jones and Plams going the distance, starting with the ball hard, Birmingham followers here expect the Alabama outfield to rank even with the fast outfield of the American Giants, which is Rogers, Gardner.

Tenible says let the season open with a bang. There are numbers of folks who can't get off from work Saturday, nor on the first two days of the week; therefore summer is going to pull the unexpected.

The Lincoln Gliants, with their new collection of stars obtained during the winter by trade and purchase, are without doubt the strongest aggregation that has represented the league. The infield played smart, snappy baseball, executing five double plays with lightning rapidity, while the outfield played well with phenomenal hall-hawking. The weather tinged strongly of Greeny Island, while "Bennies" were saviors and steam beat a blessing. The outfield played well with runs, Carr, Scars and Gray driving out Ruthian wallops which accounted for three of the Lincoln Gliants' four opposing pitches in first, "Gizzy" being relieved in the eighth, when the "Bees" put two runners on with none down, Tector, in the relief role, and the archchards scoreless for the remainder. The Lincoln Giants scored a run in the second when William singled and was advanced and scored on Maury's count in the third, when Luther Ferrell drove the first of his two home runs over the right field fence. "Dolly stepped up to the outfield at the termination of the Bichurachs' third inning, must have reasoned out in his mind that if a pitcher can hit for the second, he can step up to the Dolly stepped up to the pan and politely hit Luther's fast ball over the right field fence for his first home run of the season, sixth Luther Ferrell essayed to lace his second home run over the center field fence, once more deadlocking, game after game.

Russ then threw out DeBusch, Iseal famed, and Jim Brown dropped a peg and McKenna was safe, but Guller took a plate with tussles overrun and then picked the ball up and tried to get back to the plate in time to tag Voight but missed him. The Chants availed them nothing, but long time. The unpledged Voight was safe and the decision stood. The fans couldn't holler, because Voight came even have to slide, but Burney relieved Miller. Barton walked and 10th, who used to play with the White Sox, singled. Four runs were accounted for in the frame and the score then $10. But the 1925 and 1927 world-champs fought it out. Winterhatter threw out Rogers on a close play at first. Russ walked, Haley batted for B. Williams and filed to Wyatt. Two down and two runs needed to win one to tie. Hines batted for C. Williams and singled to right, Russ tying the score. It was a hit and run play and the Aurora team played the ball to second to hold Hines on first. Hines stole second and then third, the visitors preferring not to attempt to make a play on him, fearing an error would give the Giants the game. Harney slipped a clean single to right and Hines scored the winning run. The white boys landed on Powell for four hits and three runs in the very first frame, despite the fact that Wee Willie fanned two. Then they proceeded to make the game look interesting by letting the home boys catch them and pass them.

By WILBUR M. COOPER Cleveland, Ohio, April 29—After dropping the opening game Saturday by 16-8 score, the Cleveland Tigers staged an uphill battle to trim the heavy hitting Detroit Stars, 10 to 9, to sixty-five in saggest before a crowd at Luna Stadium Sunday afternoon. The monster parade through the Central Ave district and all the way to Luna park was an inspiration to the fans, for they certainly did turn the league representatives into welcomes, chalking up this great victory after nothing but defeat had stared them in the face. Too Much Martin Saturday The league opener staged Saturday was a saggest to the last word, but Detroit with their 17 bingles, mostly in leases, was too much for the Barkit Tigers. True enough the locals connected with the hide for 14 safeties, but poor twirling by Dixon, too, stunned Sten in the fifth, after the Tigers had registered a two-run lead off the shants of Marshall. But Manager of the defense, foxy Dug out old Tortellini, the famous Cuban twirler, to set the locals down in masterly form. Sten and Rudieffle deputet defeat the Tigers, for Martin got six hits out of as many times at bat, three of his shams go for doubles. Rudieffle, the clever Sten, out of six, a double, home run and three singles, Jeffries, the Tigers third sucker, led the locals in batting, Sten and a double when hits counter. Sten also showed well with the willow. The local Elk and King Tut bands and both teams matched around the field, with Fleming, Dr. LeRoy Bhoga, exalted rule of Cuyuphoga, 55: J. M. Walker, part owner of the Stars; M. C. Burkina, part owner of the Stars; Sam Terell, business manager of the Tigers, and Lem R. Williams, publicity manager of the local club, M. beautiful floral piece was presented to players and short speeches followed. The umpires stopped the ceremonies and yelled, "Play ball," and Fleming took the hill with Dr. Bundy on the receiving end. Sorry to say "As a pitcher, Tom Fleming makes a good councilman," for his pitch was a bit wide of the plate and Harding, the Stars lead off man, nearly broke his back swinging on the sphere. Dean took the bill for the Tigers, opposed by Shaw, former California southpaw, and both hurlers accounted for themselves creditably until the eighth frame when both clubs staged rallies of three runs each. More relieved Dean for the locals while "Lanky" Mitchell, former Monarch ace, tried to check the local's rally. With the count, 9 to 7, in Detroit's favor the Tigers put on their war paint and got after Shaw and Mitchell until they had chalked up three runs and giving them a one-run margin which was enough to win by for the Stars could not connect with Moore's slants in the final frame. Summers grounded out to Johnson. Jeffries singled to center. Heavy Johnson popped out with a short first, and snapped the pill to Harding in rapid time. Womack singled to deep right and the play made at third and fourth. Johnson pulled up at second and Womack pulled up at second. Zumphier worked Shaw for a pass, filling the sacks, then Binga Delosla to lose up to Stockard, our shortstop. With a count of two balls and one strike, Stackard hit the next ball which should have been an easy catch for Stearns, but the galloping "Turkey"丢 the ball in his pursuit and throw away the last chance of winning, enough to send the three runners in and won the hard fought victory. Duncan, the local manager, went in first, snapping out to short. Harding to Rile. The batting features of this game was exhibited by Stearns with a home run into the center field stands and another four-bagger by Rife over the right field wall. Jeffries and Stockard were the best counters for the Tigers. "Hooks" Johnson and Jeffries were the fielding stars along with Summers, local left fielder, who dashed far over the foul line and shaged a hard drive by DeMoss in the fourth inning with two men on base and two out. Oh, yes, Burt Stokes and our other councilmen, Dr. E. J. Gregg and Clayhorne George, were present along with Mrs. Fleming, Dr. and Mr. J. W. Turk and Mrs. Dr. Bundy.

That came after Nutter tried to blame Baltimore for the failure of the league to function. James Kennan, veteran baseball man and owner of the Lincoln Giants league, could function with four clubs. His answer was no, if Lincoln Giants, Baltimore, Atlantic City and Philadelphia, delitto ammunition was through if the Cubans could not play Hildale at Dexter park in New York. Nutter was willing to allow the Dexter park to play Hildale, through Ed Bolden, caused the split-up. The Cuban owner would go along.
