A. M. E. VOTES FAVOR UNION OF CHURCHES
11
The 28th quadrennial session of the African Methodist Episcopal church, which is now being held at the Eighth Regiment armory, 35th St. and Giles Ave., went on record this week for the unification of all Methodists and also passed a resolution making bishops removable after two terms in any single district, thus doing away with the heretofore unlimited terms which have been held by them. The passing of the resolution restricting the term limit of the bishops and the determination of, the Zions and the A. M. Ets to merge, were high spots of the Chicago conference.
Favor Merger
A merger of the A. M. E.'s and the A. M. E. Zions, who are now in session in St. Louis, would involve changing the names of those two organizations to the United M. E. Zions conference debated three hours on the merger. Their vote favoring the unification was wired to the Zion body.
The election of four new bishops fill the places of those who have served in the office years as well as the twelve general offices will take place this week. There are more than 180 clergymen candidates for the bishopric.
Dr. D. M. Baxter, business manager of the book concern, read his report on the book concern, the book concern is the oldest department in the connection. The most singular achievement of the business manager's work is the erection of a modern six-story publishing house in Philadelphia, corner of Pemberton in the county, why are of the opinion that Dr. Baxter will be obligated to the episcopacy in the election next week.
Dr. Baxter Reports
Dr. Edmund H. Coit, the missionary secretary, read his report. It showed the purchase of a new home for his department in the city of Chicago, lands raised and expended for missions than any previous secretary. At the conclusion of his report he received a great oation. Dr. H. R. Wright, Jr., the editor of The Christian Recorder, read his report, which he has served 16 years as editor and four years as business manager. Dr. Wright is an able man, and possesses a very keen mind. He is a candidate for the bishopric. Many made his election. His successor will be Chaplain George A. Singleton of South Carolina, now of the University of Chicago, professor of social science in Allen university. He is opposed by Mrs. R. S. Dowses Georgia and J. H. H. Franklin of Texas.
Pass New Rule
At the afternoon session, Dr. J. C. Anderson of the C. M. E. church-brateral greetings. The response was made by Dr. R. I. Pope of Indianapolis, candidate for the episcopacy, and were seen on the platform. Business moved along smoothly, and there was a calm such as precedes an oceanic storm which broke by a resolution read by Joseph Gomez of Detroit to instruct the episcopal committee to have served for two or more quadrenniums on a district." The resolution was adopted by a secret ballot. A motion to table the motion by secret ballot was made by Dr. H. Y. Tookes, the distinguished president of this committee. This required a "yes" and "no" vote. The vote was 569 "no" and 263 "yes." The progressives won. Then it was necessary to vote by ballot whether the resolution to instruct the episcopal committee should be adopted. The vote was overwhelming-641

Take Fight to Kellog About Visa
There is a movement on foot by certain American interests to prevent passports from being visaged by Brazilian counsels in this country which practice denies American citizens the right to visit South America.
According to reports there seems to be a secret understanding whereby only white persons are granted freedom of travel to Brazil. All others who apply for passports are taken through a red-tape process and are finally informed that the "restrictions" are so severe on foreigners that visas cannot be obtained.
It has been reported that American whites who apply have been given proper credentials in record time, but others who come under the same category in American citizenship have been so lucky.
The freedom of American citizenship committee, which headquarters at The Chicago Defender, 3435 Indiana Ave. Chicago, Ill., has instituted an investigation in the matter and is requesting information from citizens to Brazilian consuls for visas and been refused. The name of the party applying, the date the visa was sought, and the reason assigned for refusal will complete the data the committee is seeking. Also if stemship companies have refused anyone passage, we know that this information be in the hands of the committee on or before May 30, which will be two weeks prior to the time that Robert S. Abbott, editor and publisher of The Chicago Defender, will appear before Secretary of State Kellogg and present facts regarding this situation, including why "such conditions exist and seek to get through the department of state an official opinion from the Brazilian government on the matter.

They kept her there all night while they debated over the question of what to do with her.

A possse headed by U. T. Downs captured the two brothers in Gnemora Sunday night and spitted them out of Rapides parish to a fall in an old parish. Feeling is intense all over the稚ides the mob foliated in its attempts to lynch the brothers of the slain man, still seeks the father.
Home Defender Slain
The shooting took place Sunday when William Blackman opened fire with a shotgun on Phillips, who came to his home with a mob of whites to arrest him on an alleged lynching. When the mob surged into Blackman's front gallery he opened the front door and stepped out with a shotgun. He immediately opened fire, the charge strilking Phillips in side the neck. The leader of the home defender, a home defender, a bullet took effect in Blackman's body, killing him instantly.
A woman, who remained in the house escaped out of the back door, enraged mob set fire to the house, and killed the home of Blackman's father, who lived about a half mile from the home of his slain son. It is thought that the unobserved escaped woman warned the aged man of the mob's fury. He their lives two sons, who fled for their homes, the mob descended upon their homes.

Zions Elect Two Bishops in St. Louis
St. Louis, Mo., May 18.—Dr. W. W. Matthews of Washington, D. C., was elected to the bishopric of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion church last Thursday during a heated contest at a session of the 28th quadrennial general conference at the New Coliseum.
#
Rev. Mathews was elected on the second ballot.
elected on the Bishop Jacobs second ballot, receiving 307 votes, which were two more than was necessary to elect. He led the race when the first count was made. His splendid record as secretary of foreign missions was given as a cause for Rev. Matthews' election. Friday night was Livingstone college night, when a financial effort was put forth to complete campaign fund of $250,000 to be used for buildings of the denominational school of Saltstown, N. C.
Dr. Moton Cites Facts
Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, formet reformer of the age, was the principal speaker of the evening. In explaining a solution for greater racial progress he made the MZon church had made along religious and educational lines.
"I am a 'hardshell' Baptist," declared Dr. Moton, "but I love my race better than anything else in the world, even unto my religion. If I give up one of the two things I love, there is more revolution and evolution in this age than at any time in the history of the world," continued the speaker. He deplored the fact that there were so many religious denominations among our church folks. Dr. Moton said if all denominations would combine on fundamentals that affect the Race, there would be a heaven on earth.
"It is our religion that divides us," continued the speaker. "While the churches are providing adequate religious training, a solution must be offered to other racial advancement, or disaster will befall both church and society.
Religion Is Secondary
"When anything is to happen that concerns the white-race, they drop religion and party politics and give all of their attention to the matter that involves them. The various denominations of our Race should combine their efforts for greater reason that neither of the church organizations nor the church achieve individually. Combining the power of these denominations can be done without any limitation or change of the creeds. When a Race congressman is wanted, a committee of truly educated, honest churchmen from each denomination could lay hold on the civil powers of the government and demand the recognition that is accorded other American citizens. The denomination's commitment to the denominations would help the Race to become articulate in the larger cities, where his political rights are not entirely hampered, and later there would be a social transformation and development among the Race in the Southland." The evening gave an occasion for choice and highly entertaining muscular theater from Livingston college. Dr. J. T. president of the institution, made an urgent appeal to the conference in the interest of the $250,000 fund that is to be raised for the school.
Electa Another Bishop
The Rev. F. M. J. Jacobs of Brooklyn, N. Y., was elected bishop Monday afternoon in furtherance of the activities of the 23rd quadrennial conference, nearing its closing week at the new Coliseum.
Dr. E. L. Madison of Pittsburgh, who was an unsprinter for bishopric and Rev. Jacob's nearest opponent, secured the conference floor and an eloquent speech, withdrawing from the conference. Dr. Jacobs be elected by acclamation prevailed, breaking a deadlock vote. Bishop-elect Jacobs, until his election Monday, was general secretary of the A. M. E. Zion church. He is a native of Camden, S. C., was graduated from the theological department of Howard university and from Long Island hospital medical school. He then engaged in the practice of medicine when he became Bishop Jacobs is a non-in-law of the late Bishop T. H. Lomax of Charlotte, N. C.

Fourth Person Still on Danger List
As a result of gas fumes escaping from a water heater in the kitchen, a family of three are dead. The victims are N. E. Williams, riding master of a North side academy; his wife, Mrs. Bethi Williams, and their 14-year-old son, Burl, a pupil of the Carter Practice school. Theresa Moody, a niece who had come to spend the week-end with them, is recovering in the Cook County hospital from the effects of gas poison. The family resided at 1313 W. 61st St.
Neighbor Heard Groans
Mrs. A. Smith, neighbor occupying the flat under the Williams' apartment, said she heard groans early Sunday morning, and after an unsuccessful attempt to arouse the family gained entrance through their back door. Making her way through the choking fumes, she found Burl and Theresa lying in the boy's room unconscious. She later discovered Mr. and Mrs. Williams in a similar condition in their bedroom. The police pulmotor squad was summoned and after first aid was administered to the victims they were rushed to the county hospital. The police day morning and his son followed him by a few hours. Mrs. Williams died Wednesday morning.
From Gas Heater
The heater, which had been lighted Saturday night, was not turned off before the family retired, it is thought. The flame became extinguished in some way and the gas continued to burn on each of the bodies showed signs of a struggle for relief.
Miss Moody, who resides at 4911 Calumet Ave., had gone to assist Mrs. Williams with her house work on Saturday, which accounted for the absence of the apartment. She is a student of Wendell Phillips high school.
In giving an account of the tragedy, Miss Moody said that she was awakened by Burl's groans. As she was trying to aid him she became overcome by the fumes. She heard Mrs. Smith knock on the front door. She was unable to answer it, she said.
FATHER MORRIS
AWARDED $3,000
FOR INJURIES

As a result of his injuries Rev. Morris filed suit against the federal court for the attack at the attorney general Moore, for $50,000 damages. The case was assigned for hearing before Federal Judge Wilkerson, and was scheduled to be heard in a few weeks, but after much negotiation between the principals involved, a settlement out of court was agreed upon. He was known as "Father," pastor of the spiritualist church at his address, was the defendant two years ago in a sensational slander suit filed against him by Mrs. Julla Johnson, another spirit medium, who accused him of taking "Father Jones," her spirit guide, from his home, and slandering her good name. The suit was dismissed by Judge Joseph B. David of the superior court.

CITY ROARS ITS WELCOME TO AIR ACES
B
By DAVID W. KELLUM
Chicago broke all records last week in its three days' welcome to Baron Guenther Von Huenefeld, Captain Hermann Koehl, both of Germany, and Major James Flitzmaurice of Ireland. Bremen aes, who wrote a new chapter of peacetime achievement in the city, they electrified Chicago when they descended upon the city in their tankers plane Thursday night. And in the process, they met people, they left their words of gratitude for the heartfelt welcome, which was accorded them everywhere, indeed, in the minds of Chicago's 3,000,000 inhabitants.
Delicium of Enthusiasm
Chicago has done considerable splurging in welcoming other guests of note. For instance, Queen Marie of Houlmma, the Prince of Wales, of Belfast, and the President Coulidge, but the reception accorded the flyers, because of its special racial and national appeal, proclaimed the enthusiasm never before attained. The flyers arrived at the municipal airport at 63d St. and Cicero Ave. at 64th St. on Thursday. They flew from Philadelphia to New York, and from plane, F-13, and were greeted by a throng of admirers. After exchanging greetings with the reception company, they were rushed to the St.蒸ens hotel. Their program Friday consisted of a luncheon at the South Shore Council, with May McPherson as host, and a chair, Charles Vard system. En route to the club thousands lined the streets and greeted the history making Europe students their way along the boulevards.
Pay Tribute to Washington
Pay Tribute to Washington

"Taxation without representation is not right," is the complaint being made by taxpayers and voters. They see every nation's service, every service, telephone service, elevated car service and all forms of public work, but never a dark face.

The only bar to getting employment in these public services is white. Our thinking citizens are not asleep under this matter, and they are resolving to withdraw their support from the so-called leaders unless they demand that all races under the law.

Following this incident Mrs. Barner and her husband Arthur filled charges against the policemen before the trial board.

The presentation speeches were made by President Sims of University of North Carolina, Mr. Lowhair of Florida, Bishop Hurst presented Bishop J. H. Jones of Ohio to preside. The eloquent Dr. J. Hurst presented the speaker's stand and attempted to make a presentation speech. A committee accompanied him. The committee ultimately howled him down, evidently because it feared an attempt would be made to create an atmosphere where the action would prevail might be reversed. During the presidency of Bishop Jones the most important discussion was the report of the committee on the gavel, which was led by Bishops W. T. Vernon, Fountain and W. D. Johnson. The conference clamored for Bishop R. Hurst to take the gavel. Wesley of Washington distinguished himself by delivering a scholarly and moving address in favor of passivity limitation and the debate was carried over to Tuesday's session.
Tuesday morning the conference was opened by Bishop J. H. Jones of the left-lot unfinished business of the previous day was attended to. The paramount question was that of the church. Great speeches in favor of the measure was made by Bishop Archibald J. Carey, Chancellor George W. H. McCormick and Dr. P. A. Rogers of Louisiana, Linton of Atlanta and others. When the overwhelming majority the conference voted in favor of it. The conference will now provide the necessary information to the church. The matter will be referred to the several annual conferences in order that the people might speak as a joint general conference. In 1920 a joint general conference will be called to further work out the details of union. It now depends upon the information taken by the annual conference.
Flowers for Bishop
Bishop W. D. Johnson of Texas was presented to the conference by Bishop Jones as the presiding officer of the conference, which he said that great state sent forward a delegation of two ladies and two gentlemen who presented the bishop a "one star" of lovely roses. The speaker for the ladies was Mrs. Hughes, an outstanding figure in mission work, and the full of emotion to respond length, so touching was the expression of gratitude. Dr. James W. Johnson of Louisville presented the conference South, an annual delegate, to the "Essentials of Methodism," and said that in this machine age our only hope is to manhood and upwardhood. "We face a difficult task together," he said, "while touching race relations, but we face a glorious privilige delivered by the Rev. Charles H. Wesley, Ph.D. Harvard, of the Enlit-

The Methodist church, born of the church is the result of most vigorous evangelical revival in England, has affected the development of any world in a most definite and salutary way.

Through this zeal for the salvation of men, worthy pioneers brought the Christianism because of the virtue of hope, and the city of refuge to all oppressed. Richard Allen was among those who felt the impact of this missionary work, and roughly imbued with its spirit was he that when those responsible for its preservation would put unholy embers on all altars of an ancient fellow, and defiled and abused liberty, he at once snatched the falling standard from enfeebled hands and became the real defender of the African Methodism.

church is the result of most vigorous and manly protest against intolerance, injustice, tyranny and anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the pages of our history show that along this path as a church we have accepted every challenge unafraid, and that the leaders have had the courage and vision to face every edge, and be shiny, with practice imminent to the growth and perpetuity of our Bethel. Today we face as of old a great challenge. The church has decentralized the district and connecionalize the church. This in a great measure can be done by a change in present form of Episcopal supervision.
Be it therefore resolved that the general conference here assembled do hereby instruct the Episcopal committee to call all bishops who have served for two or more quadrenniums on a district, and.
Be it further resolved that the Episcopal committee be and empower by empowerment a suitable legislation which shall regulate our Episcopacy to the end that this condition may not obtain; and,
Be it further resolved that these resolutions be adopted by a secret ballot.
No "Sections" in Boston
Monroe Trotter, editor and lecturer of Boston, Mass., deserves great credit for his consistent fight against segregation, which shows such good results in the city of Boston. He has continually talked against the forming of "sections" in the city, and has been a strong advocate to lead to segregation. As a result of the far seeing moves, there are no "Negro schools" in the city of Boston, off Colored sections of American cities, and to seek harmony side by side. Their children study and play together without any friction. Wherever we huddle off together we find the other race only more comfortable. When we draw the line against ourselves.

Facts about body odor
To live, we must perspire. Even on cool days our millions of pores continue give off invisible perspiration—often as much as a quart of waste every 24 hours.
Whether we see it or not, this body moisture is always odorous. And it never plays favorites. Failing to take precautions, we may all offend—no matter what our position in life may be.

Not so long ago a man was under sentence of death. His little mother's Children's Home and Ald Society. The story of his father's alleged crime was plumed in a good home. But the child's eyes were constantly filled with tears when he knew was soon to die. The society recognized something must be done to work unexcused to aid this man for the boy's sake. A few hours before he Great Unknown, word was flashed over the wire that the man's life had been lived in, life to the vigilance of the society.

There are more people in Louisville than either theater can hold if it was an amusement loving visitors here and they are building more, but white people are different. They love all forms of amusement. Louisville is a modern city, but a southern city, and it is natural for certain southern conditions to exist. Louisville is a regulation side door alley entrance for our people with a top floor gallery seating space. Don't be surprized by the spaces for our people in the white galleries you will find more business of all classes dawn than ever. There is a regulation side door month. If this same top floor gallery crowd had any race pride regardless of anything else, it would be Lincoln and Lyric to hold them. There is no bitter fight between the Lincoln and Lyric owners. They are the same end-business.
At the Lyric in Louisville for the week of the 14th is Billy Pierson, the son of the 13th is Lee Toyte, J. B. Miller, Willie Lee Deloch, Willie Mae McKenzie, Mable Murray, Bertha Rattler, Rose Baltimore, Blanch Ward, Anne Talbot, Agnes Talbot, Dot Lewis, Ella Mae Saunders and yours trulq. While at the Lincoln for the 14th you will find the management of Steven R. Minder, Arthur Hockwald is opening the Richard and Pringle Georgia minstrels under canvas near Kanees City. I am satisfied I will be unable to do so. In my next writing I am going to show what it costs a show of 9 to 18 people to play the Middle City and one town on the other side of the Ohio, leaving out the cost of wardrobe and scenery, giving one or more seats to route your show and the exact cost for same in facts and figures.
DANCES DISCOVERED
All these wild and woolly dances that are dislocating the joints of the general audience make rent parties inceptions, make rent parties inHarlem, says Wallace Thurman, a dramatist, in the current issue of The Dance Magazine. He stages a "house rent" party in order to get its rent money, charging "two bits a head" admission, so the audience gets and gets (The sinn can't be very good). The Charleston and Black Bottom were born at such parties. Thurman reaches Broadway, and are dances called Bump, Mess Around and Fish Tail. To do them, one needs some ability and a pianist. Well, here's another argument for low rent housing projects.

THE MUSICAL BUNCH BY DAVE PEYTON
Things in General
Whitman believes in jazz from the ground up as a thing of beauty when he thinks, a very definite and characteristic American philosophy, in part made up of the need for rhythmic blues, a very distinctive striking and original still is his defense of the "waiting" element in jazz. "Our country," says Whitman, "is a country that some people like to think it. Behind the rush of achievement is a restlessness of dissatisfaction, a vague nostalgia and yearning for something better." That is the thing expressed by that wall, that long behind all the surface clamor and rhythm and the music of Oriental jazz. The Russian, call it anything you like. It is an expression of the soul of America and Americanism it makes. Yet this maestro never rests on his laurels. Constantly in search of newer and more famous for his exacting requirements in expression, his new recordings for Columbia, it may be promised, will carry remarkable interest.
NOTES
Jimmy Bell has replaced Clarence Lee as violinist in the Regal theater in New York. His name was called away from the city hurriedly and was replaced by Billy Page in the wood-wind section. The rest of the band are getting ready for the national musicians' convention, to which they are delegates from the Chicago local.
Clarence Moore, violinist, formerly with Sammy Stewart's orchestra at the Willard theater, will have charge the Willard theater, will have charge the orchestra, is now playing at Fess Williams' jazz joy boys at the Regal theater. He stopped the show last week with his rendition, of "Keep the Home Fires Mr. Fireman," where sweet tenor voice that sells well with his audience.
Carroll Dickerson and his orchestra, are Armstrong, have things their way at the Chicago Savoy ballroom. The dancers are wild about this bunch. Clarence Black and his orchestra maintain their following. There is a wide difference between the two units. The former is more on the high spirit, pop plan and the latter more of a comedy, which give the Savoy patrons all that they could expect in a ballroom.
The 1 oclock closing law, which is being put into effect, Chicago may hurt the musicians, who are largely employed in the night club and cabaret line.
Allie Ross and his orchestra are one of the big hits in Les Leisler's "Blackbirds of 1628," which show opened big on Broadway in New York last week.
Fess Williams and Jazz joy boys are to record for the Brunswick Phonograph company next week. Several of the musicians are completely. Fess and his boys are doing sweet numbers and are the first of our orchestras to get into the legitimate line. Hereof they our orchestra confined themselves to hot jazzy tunes.
Sammy Stewart and a bunch of first-class musicians are rehearsing for the Lighthouse job. The Lightship is a private venture on Dempster Rd, just out of Evanston, Ill.
Clarinet King and his dance-orchestra are still hitting great at Harmon's Dreamland dance hall.
Cook and his orchestra are still under contract at White City, one of the largest ballrooms in Chicago.
The famous New York Cotton Club orchestra opened at La Rue's Dreamland, 35th and State Sts. last Tuesday. The club will hit immediately with the Dreamland customers. Doc Johnson, manager, and Proprietor Le Rue are all smiles over the success of the orchestra's opening.
Jimmy Noone and his four-piece band are giving the larger the Apex club are giving the larger in Chicago a run for their money. This small unit is right up to the minute the Ollie Powers play. The late Ollie Powers ties the singing drummer in the back.
The Tanb and Tanb company opened to good business last week in Greenville, S. C. Spear and Spear, Joe Lewis, Bubby Williams and Pearl Johnson are primals in the show.
Regal Discovers Great Tenor
The Regal theater in Chicago, being one of a great chain of theaters controlled by the largest theatrical company, is out to discover new talent for the stage and the orchestra. They have promised to develop this unknown vision of schooling them for professional careers, and their promises will be realized. They have discovered recently a great tenor singer in the appearance of George Bizelle, who is working for the theater company. Dave Poyten
is out to discover new talent for the stage or orchestra. They are promised to develop this unknown talent by schooling them professional careers, and their promises will be carried out. They are covered recently a great tenor singer in the person of Bizelle. Geo is working up the theater company in the capacity of a doorman. He has made a theatrical taker and the patrons all like him, but they were utterly surprised last week when Fess Williams introduced the Regal theater doorman Mr. Bizelle upon the stage from the front of the house, sang his way into the hearts of the audience and responded to four bows. He has made a great impression and that has not been on the legitimate stage. He traveled one season with the Garner Jubilee company in the Chicago stage and Chataquia bureau. His first experience singing was at the Wendell Phillips high school, Chicago, from which he would grow to make a leading part on the school concert programs. Geo Bizelle has a bright future, as the Regal management expect to see the stage career for the singing doorman.
Floyd Campbell's Orch.
In St. Louis, Mo. Floyd Campbell's orchestra is considered one of the shining lights. They work two-jobs, the Capitol Palace and the Paradise Gardens, first-class amusement places where the band was drafted from the Savoy ballroom in Chicago to play two nights with this bunch in St. Louis and they paid two dollars. Louie says they have one of the hotest jazz bands he has ever heard and tells the writer that a trip to St. Louis just to hear Campbell's bunch at the line-up: Irving Randolph, cornet; Nathaniel Storey, trombone; Cliff Cochrane, Sam Long and Cecil White, saxophones; William Calfo, bassoon; John Gus Perryman, phane and Floyd Campbell, director and drummer.
Playa at Congress Hotel
Carroll Dickerson and his crack dance band, featuring the hot jazz trumpet Louise Armstrong and the cool jazz day afternoon and the guests never got tired of dancing, to the rhythm of Carroll's band. The occasion was the opening of the Jewish harbor, a Jewish organization. Among the artists who appeared on the program were Bernard Granville, Absalom Lewis, Van Schenck and Bake Baker.
A Letter From Abroad
Fess Williams
For his premiere as Columbia artist, Columbia releases the following interesting review of the career of one of the most famous of American dance leaders: To know Paul Whiteman is to understand at last the phenomenon of American jazz. Whiteman did not inquire about the history of jazz—but he was the first to write an orchestral score for jazz, and from its inception some ten years ago right before he has been its acknowledged chief exponent all over the world.
To know Whiteman is to under-
stand of what he is all about, ever

He hand-shakes, hugs and kisses exchanged by members of both companies. It was a jolly meeting of 55 Silas Green members, piloted by Chas. He was the director, under the direction of a Mr. Shannagan and owned by My Sparks. The members of the Blossoms asked some of the members of the Silas Green band for breakfast, and oh, what a time we had!

Henrietta Collier, the beautiful dame of the show, was named the nurse who has been conned to her bed with double pneumonia at Davenport. Sheeran, who has returned to the show,
Clata Lewis
I know of no news sadder than the report of the sudden death of Cleta Lewis of Americus, Ga., a beautiful woman who began a course in pharmacy. She was attending school at Elizabeth City, N. C. when stricken and was carried home by her sister, Mrs. Lewis, from Grantham, Ga. The members of the Silas Gray show deeply sympathize with her relatives, Madame Lewis, Mr. Lewis and Katherine Lewis Tyson. She sees the Silas Green show at Rock Mountain University, May 22, and Fayetteville, May 23, all in North Carolina.

However you may combine the above rules in writing plays, there is no rule in the comedies we do. You must record above all others and that is "a play must pay" or else it's "all wet." I could go on and write 20 pages on the subject and still miss my point. It is all technical, learned by me through years of study from books that my teachers told me were the "last word" on the subject. But
---
SATURDAY, MAY 19, 1928
experience has taught me differently,
that I can teach you ideas,
write it, down on paper, stick to it,
work it into a play and if it has merit
and originality, you will eventually
get a showing and look herewhere, some
time. As witness, look at Gafford
Anderson's "Appearances," nuf sed,
world. Get a pencil and write it.
Never mind Greek, Latin, Anglo-
Saxon or anyone else; just use your
own ideas.
If I knew enough about it, or just what the public wants, I would be a great teacher. I would know how to write a play. This week finds the team of Johnson and Brown playing two special dates. One for Fanny and the other for a disappointment, and one in Nagas, Cal. on account of our show laying off a day. The Four Covins blew in the crowd, and the crowd trilled. Also Dick Saunders. All of them have documentary evidence that the "big mess" over there was a big mistake. They will publish their documents later. Frank Rogers is in town, going big or usual. He says that Cry Baby could be a great partner to team with a female partner soon. The situation on the coast is just now for a good musical comedy. We hope to be able to see some real results, this summer. This is written from San Francisco, and will mail you a copy. I forget to write, performers, I need you soon. Regards to all friends it and out of the profession. So long ago, last week. Yo write, Buddy Brown.
AT THE WALKER
Indianapolis, Ind.-Playing a return engagement in less than six weeks, America's sweetheart, the Walker, joins them in at the beautiful Walker theater in Indianapolis. Returning with a complete new show, with cast members a new jazz ensemble and entertainers a new duplicating the capacity houses they played to at each previous performance. Not only is the show a great success, but pleasant to them, too, the cleanliness and convenience of the Walker affording equally good performances. Display their talent under the most beautiful, advantageous surroundings.
Preceding the Whitmans, the Walker has played Rector and Cooper, and the Muse with his "Charleston Dandles." Blanche Calloway, the Taskiana four, the Dancing Cyclones, the Brown Shin Models" and "All Girl" rev., Margaret Johnson and her "1925 Fantastics" and a list of other aces of the profession who have been involved in the performance, convenience, co-operation and good "breaks" enjoyed at the Walker.

De Moss Johnston, McNair, Morris and Mitchell from Kansas City Monarchs. Orange will report as soon as school closes and will play short, with Harding at 10 a.m. and the Moss will then direct the team from the bench.
Saturday Willie Foster suffered his first defeat of the season when the fist kicked out of the fist which was featured by a home run by Riley over the left field fence, the first in three years over that particular fence, and by the fielding of the quarterback. The Giants filled the sacks in the ninth with but one out, but couldn't score but one lone run.
Jack Marshall had plenty on the ball and used his nudge to perfection. He was relieved in the ninth by slow ball offerings were nuzzling.

The Honorable Mister Samuel Crawford, Esq., former pitcher of the American Giants in Ruba Foster's prime, later a manager for the Kansas City Monarchs and still more recently manager for the Birmingham Black Barons, and for the last three years coach and trainer for the American Giants, "talked" himself out of the game Sunday and when he refused to go the base umpire pulled out his watch, Sam continued to lecture until Judge William C.

On Monday Detroit turned the trick again, this time to the tune of 2 to 0, beating Wille Willie Powell after Powell had fanned ten men. It was too much to lose, but Detroit deserved to win.
And the strange part of it all, Torrent hurled for the visitors and held the ball and touched it, but Johnson singled to lose. DeMoss sacrificed and Torrent's rap to left scored Johnson. Russ had the ball and touched the runner, but the defense forced the run counted. Russ raised a fuss but the decision stood.
But the decision still win. Starless had the pressure struck out twice, life for the ball was on the fence for a home run and to start the sixth.
Davis doubled to open the home score, the defense to Johnson third, Radcliffe to Johnson, Stanley, the defense to the home and to start honors.
The game was one of the best games in the league and one hour and fifty-three minutes to decide the full nine innings.

Last season the Pennsylvaniaians were eliminated by Jersey association, lost to New York, and lost to members from New York. The association are busy engaged preparing their respective teams for the coming contest. The Pennsylvania team made a creditable contribution to the Miss Dorothy Lewis and Miss Laura V.

Wilson made a quick transition with two outs. Rettig hit weakly to Wilson, who in attempting to throw him out at first caught four passes, causing four markers to come in. This incident proved fortunate to the bears in that they did not score before Wilson made the circuit hits, and Mark got one. The game ended 21 to 4.

Hilldale and Lincoln Giants Divide Double Header; Daises Drop First, 8-7, Win 2d, 12-4
Missouri Lincoln Defeats Kansas City Track Team

By THOMAS LUBRY
New York, May 13—The Lincoln
Glants broke even in the third Earl-
en league double-header at the Pro-
vince Hilltide club in the first game, 7,
and losing the second, 12 to 4. The
opener was a thriller, fast fledging
fans on edge until the last man was
w thrown out with the tying run on
"Darby Daisy," not only handed his
former teammates their first defeat
of the season at the Bronx oval, but
also won the center field bleacher in the third game.
The game opened with a blustery wind cutting across the diamond and the rain cily in felling fly halls. It seems as though it never will get warm in the East. Today's atmosphere was warm, but the second week in May. The players about rather muscle-bound, apparently the cool weather was exacting its toll. The Giants didn't prevent the Hilldale club from invading in the first inning when Warfield singled, stole and scored on Mackay's single to left. The Giants scored two in the second inning and son strolled on four wide ones and George Carr, who is worth his weight in gold to the Lincoln's, hit his third inning field bleachers over the right center field bleachers.
Hilldale tied the count in the second when Johnson and Briggs singled. Cockrell following with a two-base kept right on hiding Cockrell rather freely. Spearman opened the second with circuit wallop number two for Briggs. Cockrell kept right on Henry Lloyd, singled to center and Winters reached first on Cannady's error of his grounder. Gray hit his first attempt permitting Lloyd to score. The Giffords permitted Lloyd to score. Gray, with a big lead off first, was caught flat-footed on Cockrell's throw to Cannady. The feet-footed out-of bounds line was chased up and down the base line and finally declared out by the 'bump' for running out of bounds, and finally Winters skipped across the plate.
Hilldale scored three in the third. Charleston shot a triple to right. Cannady banged a hit right to Mackay. Cannady banged a hit right to Charleston. Cannady going to second on the throw in and Thomas singled to left bring in in Cannady. Cannady scored a triple second, scoring on Johnson's hit pass Riggins. The Giants scored two in the third round. Scales walked on second home run of the season over the right center field bleachers. The game then settled down to fast fading and good pitching until the eightth inning. Cannady center field fence, drove out circuit wallem number two for this year. In the ninth Hilldale threatened to score a triple. Cannady singled and Cannady banged a bingle past Lloyd, scoring Charleston. Thomas' infield out scored Cannady. Thomas' run on third grounded out to Lloyd. The second game was featured on home runs by Lloyd. Cannady and

Hampton Institute, Va., May
12.—Lincoln university, repres-
ented by 25 men, ran riot over
Hampton and Union to win the
allegiate division of the C. I.
A. track meet, while Cheney
of Pennsylvania had a close
run to win in the scholastic
section of the meet held on
Armstrong field.
Lincoln came first with 49 points. Hampton second with 36½ points and Union third with 32½ points in the collegiate division; in the scholastic section Cheney was first with 25 points, Hordentown was second with 20 points and Booker T. Washington the exciting and thrilling race of the day was the sprint medley which was won by Union. Along with the Southern Ald Society of Virginia trophy, the Race was close from start to finish, and it seemed for a time that it was too much for her anchor man, Calloway, could not musten up enough energy to come in ahead. Tuskegee ran the mile relay for the Robert S. Abbott trophy. Hampton had little competition, but even though the race was not as long as 4½ of a second off the old record set by Howard in 1923. Captain Booker of Union set a new record in the old record 1 foot 8 inches.
This record is remarkable in that 24 feet 1 inch is quite a distance to be sailing through the air. Captain John is also interested in all of the dashes and the relay. Two other records that fell were those set by Robert A. Coles for the mile and two mile runs. Mitchell of Lincoln and the second record and 1.5 seconds from the two mile record. Mitchell was quite an interest, as he run both races with perfect speed. He was the second when Bryant throw the shot 40 feet 7½ inches, which is 1 foot 6 inches farther than the old record. In the century dash great things of the Tuskegee met from Fort Valley high and industrial school, but he could not make the stride and fell just after crossing the finishing line of the Tuskegee met from Fort Valley high and industrial school. He won the 220 yard dash with Breaux and Webb, both of Union, close at his heels. His time was 221-5 seconds in the face of a head. In the scholastic section one record fell when Diggs, Union high of Hampton, made a scholastic record even with the collegiate record for
In the 440 yard dash for the James L. Thatcher trophy, Baldwin ran a beautiful race to win in a field of 20 yards in neatly, but cut out and took the lead about 220 yards from the start and finished well ahead of the pack with a time of 51.8 seconds. Bulldoosh Williams, a former first race for Hampton and won, Coles, a new track star for Hampton, drove in second. The meet as a whole was well under the skillful direction of Howard P. Drew, one of the joint record holders of the 100 yard dash. The events went off smoothly with the 100 athletes in action at all times. The William S. Parker trophy for the half mile went to Silvera of Lincoln. The trophy is the statuette of a runner done in silver. It was one of the best trophies at the meet. The national high school one mile relay cup went to Manassas after a hard fight with Bordentown.

Kid Palmer Winner Over Conroy in 6
Bv HAMLET "KID" BOWE
St. Paul, Minn., May 10—The "Tacomnter" Terror, Walter "Kid" Palmer, defeated Honeybay Conroy in six rounds here tonight. Conroy, who is a big favorite here—his home town—was the target of the fight and was not able to rescu to his clowning as he usually does. On account of Conroy's height and reach, Palmer was not able to fight an impressive battle like he did in his first game. Conroy using his reach "to hold Palmer off, retreated around the ring with Palmer in pursuit, and when he was able to catch him, Palmer would be able to continue the fighting. Though Palmer won decisively, the fight was not as pleasing as it would have been had Conroy essayed to make a fight of it. It, Jerd Doran, will make an effort to bring together "Kid" Palmer and Jodine Malone.

Flowers, After 7-Year Struggle, Nears Chance for World's Title
New York, May 8—After four years of hard battling in the professional ring, which was preceded by three years in the amateur division, Bruce Flowers, lightweight of New Rochelle, is nearing his fistic goal—a chance for the world's championship. Flowers is extremely modest when it comes to talking of his ring deeds and ambitions and even goes so far as to soft-pedal any talk of being a second Joe Gans, as pointed out by his admirers, Flowers will better be the ring record of that one-time great champion. The lives of Flowers and Gans are almost parallel, so as their admirers can be assured, Flowers is once more broke into the boxing game by shining shoes near a fight club in Baltimore. Flowers sold newspapers and got his ring start in the amateurs, selling the watchs as fast as he won them. He is comfortably fixed as far as finances go right now, but regrets he had to hand down to his sons as memories of more than two hundred fights which he claims were harder than the ones he has since he deserved the slim paces for the money division three years ago.
Fought Paul Berlenbach
To prove that the amateur days of the New Rochelle boy were tough ones it is only necessary to point to the New York Athletic club, just before the Astoria Assassin turned pro in 1923. An extra round was ordered, so children were rounded. So children did matter more. Flowers was concerned, for he fought four or five times a night and glad of the opportunity to win a medal or watch a little trouble turning into cash. This monetary reward, however, was nothing as compared to the money the manager, painted for him in words. Garsh was breaking in as a manager at the time and the two are just beginning to make dream words come true. The boxer has a home in New Rochelle in appointment is in accord with his mode man. Flowers is 100 square, with a play pen in the rear for his infant son and Bruce Jr., 3 years old. Also living with and supporting Flowers are his mother and sisters.
Like the late "Tiger" Flower, not a relative, Bruce is a surly church-church of the Baptist church in New Bristol which the lightweight attends. Bruce's mother is very religious. It is only of late that he has conceived the lightweight division. This is due partly to the fact that he has become aocker and a knockcourt. He is coupling himself with the lightweight communicated this in his last six hours.
Kayos Nat Kawler
Only a week ago he scored a technical knockout over Stumlais Loayza for the first time. Prior to that he knocked out Nat Kawler in five rounds. This was the first time Kawler was ever K. O'd. He defeated Billy Petrole, the Fargo Express; Spug Myers of Chicago, and Honeyboy Finnigan of Boston. It was Finnigan's first defeat in his home city.

BARBARIAN IS NO MATCH FOR BRUCE FLOWERS
Contender Is Much Too Clever
New York, May 8—Bruce Flowers, New Rochelle lightweight, had an easy time gaining the decision over Old Barbaran (white). Detroit veteran, last night in the feature bout to rounds at St. Nicholas arena. From beginning and ending, Flowers slapped and cuffed and hooked and punched Barbarian almost at will, and at the final bell the answer was normal formality. Flowers was every bit of Barbarian was willing, but was wild and wooctly ineffective. He rallied strongly in the third round and blood with nausea at the pitch, but these rallies were only flashes compared to the consistent work of Flowers. Several times during the last few hours Barbarian round, with solid rights to the jaw, and with snappy lefts and rights he opened cuts over Barbarian's eyes and had the blood flowing from his nose and swelling under Barbarian's left eye.
Flowers had a clear lead at the end of the first four rounds, Barbarians blows were wild. In the next round they stood head to head in a great show of infighting in which Flowers landed on the second round Flowers outboxed and outfought his rival, but in one of the clinches he slipped down. Barbarians pulled briefly in the third round and left and right, but Flowers' superior work carried the round. Through the fourth and fifth Flowers blows to the jaw. Barbarians shook under repeated right upcurrents in the fourth round and in the fifth blows staggered twice with solid rights to
Flowera Outboxes Rival
Flowers contented himself, with outboxing Barbarian in the seventh, but in the eighth place several flowers outboxed Barbarian right to the jaw. A right that was high opened a cut over Barbarian's left eye.
Flowers continued to pound his rival in the ninth round and Barbarian was weary at the bell, though he fought back wildly, the time, the force, the reach and the reached the body several times with soft smashes, but Flowers punched more accurately and had a bite. In the last half minute Barbarian twice hooked his left to the jaw, but the blows only served to infiltrate Flowers, who hammered Barbarian
Ted Thompson Leads Force Net Team to Win
Wilberforce, Ohio, May 11—Wilberforce university tennis team defeated the Antioch college tennis team by a score of 4–3. The work of Capt. Ted Thompson and Macoce Hill was largely responsible for the Wilberforce victory. Ted is the first college player to defeat Walter Rutman in singles since he entered Antioch college two years ago. Rutman is a native of India and he certainly wields a mean racket and knows the game from A to Z. He is a premier player and those who saw the match Friday have little doubt that Ted will defend his title, as he will this year and is captain of the tennis team. He graduates in June. His shoes will be hard to fill. The Wilberforce team will be captain of The University of Chicago Scout and Hill.
Thompson defeated Rutman, 6-4,

CECIL HARRIS WINS ON FOUL FROM WIGGINS
(Sports editor, Davenport (iowa)
Democrat and Leader.)
Davenport, Iowa, May 4—A bedroom slugger by the name of Chuck Wiggins came into Davenport inst night with the idea that the Collisum be underworld and he was the king. This same Chuck Wiggins gave inwardly to the $400 and with a keen sense of having played the fool once too often. He probably will not have intelligence enough to carry his atrocious riot actions. Wiggins and Cell Harris, the 220-year-old, played for the main go on the Collisum card. During the first round they sparred and clinched the way the crowds exchanged france. The second round passing along about the same way, both seemingly bent on feeling each other more sensitive data for the long range action.
Then the Indianapolis yokel started the type of unclean methods for which more than one tough yoyo gave up. He right corner, he deliberately kneeed the Chicagoano. Harris retaliated but only after Chuck had been roped off and ropes on the opposite side. Here Wiggins just as deliberately butted and used the back hand. They came out doing nothing and Wiggins struck two low blows. When Wiggins renewed his tactics again in the fourth round, it became too much to do nothing with him. In the meantime, Harris' manager kept on cautioning him from the corner not to follow his opponent's dirty methods. In the meantime Chuck repeatedly hit below the belt. The fifth round was short lived. In the center of the ring in full light of the ball, he up and hit Harris very hard. It was an action which the lowest type of man could not excuse. It hinted at the Choynak could do nothing else but stop the fight and award-the bolt to Harris on a foul. The fans were unanimous in demanding such

Misstep, Reigh Count, Black Patti in American Derby
Bv J. G. FARRELL
The victory of Misten, owned by Lea Marks, Chicago turfman, is creating the impression that the East will be forced to bow to the West in the derby classics to be decided at Churchill Downs and Arlington park the event of Chicago's Northwest highway course, being the American Derby, Saturday, June 9, carrying an added value of $2,000. Reigh Count, which will carry the colors of Mrs. John D. Hertz, continues in the role of top choice despite the lack of a step. While the son of Up Set in his trial negotiated the lie in 1:39 falt against Reigh Count's 1:39:1-5, he did it in masterful fashion, accustomed to the precision and precision that turfmen, who had accredited Reigh Count as virtually invincible, are now inclined to yield to doubt. Following this sensation, Reigh Irish Fail and other cracks.

GODFREY IS NEXT, SHOUTS MR. SHARKEY
Big Fight May Come to Chicago
New York, May 8—One hour after he had knocked out Jack Daleyen in the ring at Madison Square Garden Jack Sharkey, accompanied by his wife, set out for an automobile trip to their Boston home, where the Sharkey baby waits for them.
Early this morning Jack Delayen, the victim of the third knockout of his career, entrained for Bridgeport, Connecticut. Delayen will make no announcement of his plums until Sunday, but Sharkey, before he left faithful Tony Colozolo and Johnnie Buckley and the team, had already made the termination to climb his way to the heavyweight championship over the prone bodies of one George Gadfrey, one Johnny Riske, and one Johnny Riske of Cleveland.
"I'll fight Risko in New York and Godfrey in Philadelphia," said Sharkey, "and I'm out to prove that my team can win." And my defeat by Risko was a fluke. Sharkey has become convinced that Manager Johnnie Buckley's advice to fight early and often is the only way to win. He was also fighting my way into that heavyweight title, declared the gob as he hurriedly dressed, and "I'm going to fight regularly instead of loading between sets." Sharkey is particularly keen for another shot at George Godfrey. "I was always polio to Colored heavyweights," he said, and make that black shadow into an albino. I knock him out this time, because he's gone back since last beat him.
He had nothing to say. He and Doc Casey, his pal, escorted by Jack Gorman, left the garden and went to the Hotel Commodore. Few recognized Delaney with his collar embarked so hopefully. Godfrey-Sharkey match may come to Chicago during the Elks convention.

Marshall, Tex., May 11.—Goo-Goo Livingston had one of his biggest days in conference baseball today when he, taking three trips and getting three hits, swatted in every one of the six scores that Wiley ran against the four that Bishop collected in a return game held at field to decide the local champion. Bube Ruth of the Southwest, hit two circuit clouts in two official trips to the bat, thus bringing in five scores with couple of swings in manu. Jackson was in Jackson relieved Smith in the sixth, held the Bears scoreless with his tantallizing twists. Jackson was in supreme form, batting batters passed up for balls. During his four innings on the mound he allowed only two widely separated batters, only 14 men to pick up the timber.

EUROPE BOWS TO TALENT OF GEO. GARNER
Crowned Heads Cheer American Tenor
London, Eng., May 18.—All London is acclaiming King Olaf as one of America's greatest tenors following its appearance recently in the role of King Olaf in the beautiful oratoria, "King Olaf," under the auspices of the Helston and District Choral society, the oldest musical organization of its kind in England. King Olaf's choral society was founded in 1837. Music critics here—known to be the most severe of Europe—agree that Garnier's extraordinary voice was the most distinctive musical event in recent years. Because of his previous concerts, the great tenor had a large following as shown by the eight minors he enabled to attend him upon his entrance on the stage.
Royalty Present
Their majesties, King George and Queen Mary; the Prince of Wales, their apparent to the throne: Prince Henry, Premier and Mrs. Baldwin, Hamsey McDonald and his daughter, Mary, members of the Royal Academy and distinguished members of parliament were patrons of the concert.
---
Given Tremendous Ovation persons in the audience lost sight of their usual modesty and dignity and stood up in their seats literally storming for the return of King Olaf the Man of the Management quickly ordered the outer curtains drawn. The lights were dimmed. The symphony orchestra with 100 pieces that had accompanied the performance of "God Save the King." When the lights became just a tiny bit brighter, two huge silk flags drapped around a throne like the wings of a butterfly were placed in the flags that was of the United States and the other was that of England. Changing the number to "Star Spangled Banner," the orchestra spangled the flags, the towering wings of the flags were slowly drawn apart and by the time the lights had been switched from various colors to a mellow yellow, the "king" -George Washington -landed in the center of the throne.
Wina Royal Favor
The royal family smiled, acknowledging their approval. As to the help rejoicing that this great honor had come to me." And a critic put it: "We have lived to see and hear the Queen and the King, like the rest of Europe is clamoring to do, has adopted George Garner as her own." The appearances of foreigners in concerts here have become void in the case of Garner, so great is the public demand for several days before the presentation of "King Olaf" of the orchestra had been sold. On the eve of the concert, at a premium. At least as many people were on the outside clamoring to get seats as there were people at 12,000. There were 12,000 in attendance.
Bida Made for Tenor
Several grand opera companies are in Berlin, and it is positively known that Paris Berlin and Brussels are making unusual offers for his appearance during the season. Reports coming here from the United States show that his home city Chicago is closing a troubled business success. To say that Chicago is proud of her accomplished son is the sentiment that has been expressed. And so is Engelbert.
White Youth Attacks
Racial Discrimination
Social Discrimination
Yankton, S. D., May 18—Maintaining the Race discrimination to prohibit Race students from being allowed to join Pi Kappa Delta, national honorary forensic organization. Kendrick and his students, a white student at Yankton college, has rejected the privilege of becoming a member of the local chapter. The students have been active in the community, but after reading the constitution decided that he did not care to belong to an organization which discriminates because of race. Grobel is former resident of this state. In Yankton college for the Rhodes scholarship from South Dakota.
Why Look for Facilities?
While the American Medical association is making extensive surveys of "Negro hospital" and their facilities, it will be useful to check up on the system which keeps patients barred out of institutions where every facility is at hand. There is no need to be loud for facilities, pay in China to cargo on every hand. What is necessary to rid the city of such practices directed by prejudiced officials barbed with the police, namely hospitalized already in existence. If this matter were corrected there would be no need for isolated places designated as "Negro hospital" to be investigated and surveyed, when the trouble lies within the gates of the investigator. The "Jim Crow" propagandists always begin their surveys on the wrong end.

With schools and colleges closing in every section' of the country the attention of our youth is now being turned toward citizens' military training camps. Throughout the United States, more than 100 camps are held during the summer months. They are maintained by the government and offer advantages for the study of military science that can be now not only else in America in so short a period. Although these camps are being studied for all military milks, it has been found that Americans in charge of American policies toward her citizens are shortsighted enough to have their own country's progress by setting up the Jim Crow barrier against some citizens who would otherwise take up jobs in the military. Young men and boys who are not white have been barred from these

Dear Princess Mysterian: All hats off to you. I think you are a wonderful girl. I think you are a wonderful girl. Your replies to various requests and I am thereby benefited myself. I greatly appreciate your reply. Earlier, You expressed it fully when you said "damnable conditions"; so true and so real. You place you answer on a glaring electric poster so the ones it was intended for notice it through your column. This condition has indeed become mausetastic, so the ones it was intended for notice it through your column. You be seen very often with the same woman, because of the opinion of the person which been created other than her. You need to be nerve to ask, "Can a woman love a man?

Your reply to Yvonne, dear Princess, was so wonderful that could only see and understand and have your broad mind, how much better this world would be—Mrs. Emma Mm.
If I should try to express my apprehension, I could not find adequate words to do. I am completely and thoroughly convinced that solving the problems that consistently face humanity are being accepted by people as well as those who do. I wonder how many more honest people, who have done what they did, will not commend to me on the good that I have done and stand by one—wishing that truth. Please let me know. Letters like
camps because of the color of their skin. Mothers and fathers are urged to Crow training camps under any consideration. They have done too much for America to allow this practice to continue. These camps should not be coached, but should be trained in the same camps with the white youths are not good enough to fight in time or near them. All citizens should be trained during the war, so all should be good enough to train in the same camps now. American will not attend the citizens' military training camps unless the Jim Crow barrier is broken down and all youths are allowed to enjoy being allowed to attend the camps and further insist on being shown the same consideration in all camps. Boys must not let the Woodrow Wilson camp be allowed, so the slogan should be, "No separation."

AMERICAN SINGERS AT BERLIN CHURCH

Berlin, Germany, May 18—In carrying out the newly inaugurated policy here, the church here will visit aging artisans and Sunday morning services, the Four Harmony Kings, under the direction of Ivan H. Browning, the guests at the magnificent program was limited to spirituals.
The manner in which the singers were appreciated was revealed by a letter from William W. Strach, pastor of the church. It reads in part as follows: "I wish to express again in writing the kind of appreciation I have for Berlin for the services you and your colleagues rendered us yesterday morning. There have been numerous appreciations of your singing. Some of those present had never heard spirituals before. There have been such great approval of your music and several requests for a repetition next Sunday that I have agreed to ask you if it seems to me that you understand the request, I feel that it is asking a great deal, and hesitate only because it may seem to be asking too much. I hope that you will understand and the request is a token possible of our appreciation."

The result was that Darrow was made special assessments attorney for Chicago, and later corporation counsel, and the judge, Plained, was due to the uncontrollable fate which guides every life. When a friend, under indemnity asked him to defend him, Darrow launched reluctantly into the practice of criminal fame, which won him international fame.
CHAIR LOOMS WHEN SLAYER LOSES APPEAL
Empties Pistol Into Prostrate Girl
Washington. May 18. — Malcolm Howard must die in the electric chair for the murder of Jessie Nelson, his sweetheart. The court of appeals of the District of Columbia Monday upheld his conviction on a first degree murder charge, carrying with it the death penalty. His execution is set for May 21. Unless he is granted a stay, he will be the second man to die in the district's new electric chair. The first will probably be Philip Jackson on May 15. Three white boys, Nicholas Lee Eagles, Samuel Moreno and John Proctor, will follow him to May 15 for the murder of policeman Busch.
Threatens Girl
Howard shot his sweetheart to death on the night of Feb. 4, 1927. He and made two threats to take her life. On the night of her murder Jessie Nelson was staying at the home of her husband, 351 Sherman Ave. N, W. Howard went there and entered into a general conversation with everybody present, the room bus Jessie Nelson and him.
Later she was heard to exclaim, "Ah, no; no, malcomb!" He asked, "Do you mean it?" she then screamed, "Who was upstairs, run down. Howard ordered her to go back. Jessie was entirely dead. Howard pointed his gun directly at her head and chest and fired three more shots. He then moved over her body and ran from the house.
Kisses Gold Lips
He remained in hiding for several days. While detectives scoured the city for him he visited the District and kissed her cold arms and kissed her cold arms. He later rendered to the police. At the trial Howard testified that the shooting was accidental. At the time of his arrest he told police that he and Jesse were in a car and it all. He admitted that he had been convicted of grand larceny and sentenced to a term of five years in the penitentiary. He was announced on May 7, 1927. Two women were on the jury. After his conviction the constitutionality of the act giving women the right to serve as jurors but not making their service compulsory was established. He also contended that one of the women jurors was the wife of a deputy United States marshal and was not qualified to act as a juror. His decision to act compulsory was decided down by Justice Robb decided that both of these contensions were without merit.

Go into practically any
Schoolhouse today and ask,
“Who will go down in history
as one of the great Negroes of
all times; one who has been
a shining example to his
race?”
The answer will naturally
be—Booker T. Washington.
Or ask who was the one Negro
known the world over through the
medium of an American story?
Again the answer would be correct
=the famed Uncle Tom of the book,
*Uncle Tom's Cabin.”
But continuing in the same strain
ef mind—who was Juan de Pareja?
There ts a question that would stick
24 out of 100 people. Yet as we FO
alone in this story of.a great life we
vill be ashamed that we know so Httle
‘YE one of the ong deceased “pillars of
ture.”
PAi'an de Pareja was a Nero, des-
14 to be one of the world's great-
ést painters, yet unsung. Probably
this is due to the fact that there ex-
isted somewhat at all tines a feeling
of superiority over those of dusky
hue. We sincerely hope that this nar-
rative will tend to alleviate the feel-
ing as ht unfolds the struggles of the
Negro, who began as slave. then dis-
ciple, ‘and. finally, emerged to his
world as a painter of renown. |
In the world-wide fleld of painting
each nation has or had its one out
standing wielder of the brush. Amer-
fea, considered as “The Promised
Zand.” to struggling artists of for-
eign extraction had its John Sargent,

it is with Velazquez that part of
this story deals. for he was the master
under whom Pareja developed. |
WAS BORN OF
SLAVE PARENTS = *
‘Those expert In research have found
that Juan de Pareja was born of
slave parentage at Granada, Spain, in
the yenr 1606. Present day records do
not show just how Velazquez came
into possession of the Negro, whether
ag part of a legacy from his parents
of a8 @ purchase from the slave mar-
Ket.
‘SuMfce {t to say that fn 1623 we find
Pareja working as a house slave, dili-
gently grinding plsments, preparing
Sanvases or cleaning the brushes for
his master. ‘This was much before
his master had achieved fame by
becoming court painter for King Phil-
Up IWof Spain.
Having spent the major part of his
younger days among such artistic
Burroundings. it is only to be ex-
pected that Pareja should devetop in
him those traits and feelings that
found sympathy and training about

would be a thing unheard of, It was
A recognized fact that slaves were not

of punishment. Posibly imprison-
ment. Possibly death. And in those
days of Spain possibly @ fate worse

-“Sit'can therefore be seen that Parefa
held his Jife in his hands when he
would hide hiniself from the eyes of
the curious to practice Izhts, and
shadows. copying many of his mas-
ters work in his desire to. protect
Mmself from harm and at the same
time perfect himself in the art.
&§ lsine respite scemed granted him
win Velazquez was ordered by King
Philip to make trips to Italy, once in
3629 and again in 1688. Tt was during
the first absence that Pareja worked
ro hard, studying proportions, lights,
shadows, execution, etc, until he
thought he had reached a stage where
only expert criticism could judge his
ability.
Velnzquez at about that time hdd
attracted a deal of attention to_his
works. It was often the habit of King
Philip when worried with the affairs
of state ta hle himself to the studio
of this future master, and while Ve~
Tazquez worked at fits easel would
wander ahout the studio, finding re-
Jazation and temporary forgetfulness.
iis was the delight to delve in out of
the way corners and where a canvas
was placed face toward the wall, com-
mand that it-be turned about that
“Spain's greatest judge” might praise,
criticize or offer suggestions a8 to its
Proper execution.
Pareja, the skive, was well aware of
this. The Negro had worked uncens-
Ingly for weeks on a sinall canvas
and when he saw his chance placed it
Against the wall in the afore-men-
toned position. With it went a
prayer that King Philip might see it
‘The King did und before he had the
chance to give the palntng a second
glance he was astonshed to see Pareja
prostrated at his feet, hegxing for in-
tercession from the expected punish-
ment.

Although his canvases hang in the finest art galleries of the old and new worlds, few who see them know
that the painter, Don Pareja, was a slave, and comes of the most recent slave race. The above painting, “The
Calling of St. Matthew," by Pareja, now hangs in the Museo de Madrid, Inset of Pareja was done by Vellasquez,
‘one of the world’s most celebrated painters, who owned Pareja and gave him his freedom when he showed auch

However, these paiitings that are
Known to art lovers mark the Negro
as one who can “walk in the ways of
the masters.”
‘One of his most famed canvases is
“The Calling of St. Matthew" (No. 1),
listed in the catalogue of the Museo
de Madrid. The noted Spanish paint-
er Madrazo describes this canvas as—
Jesus, passing before the table
where Matthew. is occupied as a
Publican or collector of tribute,

Matthew is shown dressed in Ori-
ental garb. A Madrid official in
Venetian dress and a third aubject
who wears the picturesque dress of
2 Spanish captain in Flanders. The
three look upon Jesus, who, stand-
ing beside Matthew, speaks to him.
Juan de Pargja’s works show a
gurone touch of Venetian, Genoese and
Flemish feeling, due to the force and
vividness of colors. It was his incll-
nation, Judged by his works, to por
tray things as they actually appeared
to his eyes without that aubtle toning
down so often noticed in the old mas-
ters.
‘Some of the works of Pareja are tc
be found in the sanctuary of the ab-
bey of the monastery of Benedictine
of Eslonza. Pareja did several can-
Yases of saints, chief of which {
“Santa Catalina,” signed by Pareja
and dated 1669. ‘This, incidentally, Is
regarded #0 far as the last painting
‘done before his death,
‘in the National Trinidad there was
“The Baptism of Christ,” signed by J
de Pareja, 1667. In the sacristy of the
Trinity convent of Toledo there are
to be found “The Presentation, of the
Child God" and another, “Battle
Scene.” ;
‘Another of his famous paintings is
“Provincial of the Capuchin Order’

“Isahella of Bourbon.” All these were
accredited to Juan de Parcia and the
canvas of Isabella has been noted as
belonging to the Earl of Yarmouth.
‘With these successes to him, it is
small wonder that at times there were
heated controversies over the origin
of Spanish paintings, Some claimed
them to be the work of Velazquez.
Others hotly defended the disciple.
Pareja.
For instance, there is the painting,
“Joseph Reiter.” a Madrid architect.
This was in the Prado and said to be
the work of the great Velazquez. It
was really the work of Pareja.
Pareja is credited by J. C. Robinson,
competent judge and expert, with be-
ing the pinter of “A Bust of 2 Box,”
in the Dulwich gallery. near Jondon,
England. In the Munich gallery is 2
canvas of “A Gentleman and 2 Lady
Playing Carda,” attributed by Burger
to Juan de Pareja.
‘Thus we see that Pareja achieved a
position far above that of his wildest
dreams. But, as has often been re-
marked of successful Negroes, “he
‘did not spoll.” | Undoubtedly his lowly
beginning, struggle for recognition
and. above all. his veneration for Ve-
Vazquez, led him in the right paths,
ag Would a guiding flame.

The devotion that Pareja bore for
his minster waa reciprocated inthe
broad-minded feelings of Veluzquez
to the disciple. ‘This ts best. shown
in the following incident.
SENDS PAREJA ON
MISSION TO_POPE
When Velazquez made his first trip
to Tome he expressed desire to por-
tray the pope on canvas, But for 8
comparative stranger to ask for a sit-
ting, with ‘so many masters of the
brush, begging for the honor, would
be folly indeed. Velazquez determined
to make himself known by. painting a
cicinte {OF the amaual exhibec heli in
the Rotunda during the “Festival of
St, Joseph."
Inspired by the faithfulness of
Pareja, Velazquez portrayed him and
