OFFICERS AID TEXAS MOB A.M.E.ELECTS 4 BISHOPS USE CLASSIFIED ADS FOR QUICK RESULTS A. I MOB LYNCHES MAN IN FRONT OF COURTHOUSE Victim Is Given Up by Texas Officers By J. WINSTON HARRINGTON (Staff Correspondent) Center, Tex. May 25.—(Special) — While police and high city officials looked on a blood-thirsty mob of men women and children early Monday morning lynched "Buddy" Evins in the county courthouse yard. He had been charged with the slaying of John Wheeler, a white farmer of Canton, on Saturday night, May 12. The demonstration was by far the biggest of its kind to be held in this city for years. White men, women, as well as from all walks in life participated in it. Two days following the anged slaying of Wheeler, Evins was arrested in St. Augustine, Texas, and returned here for safekeeping. While they may say he attacked the failer with an iron-bar, took his keys and escaped. Police Aided By Dogs Aided by blood hounds, police arrested Evins at his home in the suburbs of the city. He explained that he had returned home without fear of the mob. He was re-arrested and placed in jail. An inquiry into the shying of Wardale held Monday at 10 a.m. and after listening to testimony by Evins the jury returned a verdict of not guilty. Evins was then taken to the safe keeping. Word recounted Evins's decision was quickly spread throughout the city and less than an hour afterwards a mob of some 100 men, women and children had formed in the city to turn over the alleged slave When all efforts to quell the blood thirsty men and women failed, officials brought forth Evins and turned him over to the leader of the mob. Bound and sagged. Evins was dragged by the prying village ward through the prying street of city and back to the courthouse, where the demonstration took place. Dry Tossed in Fire With his body bleeding, Evans was taken to a large oak tree. A rope was placed around his neck and he was dragged down the tree. While his maintained in the air, a huge bouillon was made. Ten gallons of gasoline was poured on the burning boxes before the man's body was tossed into the air. By this time hundreds of school children along with their parents witnessed this gruesome spectacle. It made one's blood run cold to see yellow flames consume the body of the man. While the gleeful howls of that heathish mub as it shouted and danced like heathens around the burning pore. Color of the man's burning flesh was sicken-ing, the mob continued to pour on heaps of wood and oil. This mammoth celebration lasted four to five than three hours, after which the man only only cals begged the crowd to return to their homes. Authorities here made no effort to stop the march of the mob of blood that heathish man has any step been taken to punish those guilty of the brutal act.

North Ave., who was being put through the third degree by her husband, Clifford F. Roberts, a chropodist, with offices at 3933 Broadway, to force from her a confession of unfaithfulness, according to the police, Sergeant Smith of the Hudson Ave. station arrested Roberts Monday on charges of assault and battery. Mrs. Roberts signed the complaint. Later when her husband was released on bond, the police said, he returned home and administered another severe beater, because she had home and administered another four children, fed with them from her home. Tuesday morning when Roberts appeared before Judge Howard Hayes at the E. Chicago Ave. court, he was granted a jury trial at the request of his counsel. Mrs. Robbins, the mother and a badly bruised face, appeared with her attorney, Chester C. Horn. Threatens Reporter Tuesday evening after telling a Chicago Defender reporter to call at his office for an interview, Roberts used gunman tactics to suppress the location of the story of his arrest. After eliciting from the reporter the gist of a conversation he had with Mrs. Roberts' attorney, Roberts his face blazing like that of a gunman, entered the desk drawer, threatened the reporter's life, forced him into his (Roberts)' automobile at the curb with the threat that he was going to make the reporter repeat his story. The mad chirropodist drove rapidly to an address. He turned up an alley, blew the horn and a woman allegedly Mrs. Roberts, came down, he entered the door. "Get in," he commanded, the woman refused. She stood beside the car. Sticks Gun in Ribs Roberts prodded the ribs of the reporter with his revolver. "Now repeat your story," he commanded. Go ahead. Split it out," he ordered. Roberts looked at the "sipit" it out as he he could under the circumstances. Roberts' face blazed with maniacal fury when the woman denied giving consent to her attorney to give the story to the press, and he made statements to him concerning it. Then with another prod of the gun into the reporter's ribs while the latter tried to reason with him, Roberts cursed and exclaimed, "You can't yourself deal with trouble, and if one word of that story appears in the Defender Till deal with it and especially with you. I will shoot you. You understand?" I hunt you down and kill you. I am going to kill you. Roberts said, "And these are my witnesses to what I'm telling you," he reminded the reporter, indicating the woman and another man, whom he addressed as aomas, supposed to be his wife's friend. He looked at the scene at the car, whom he called down when his wife appeared. Grant Murderer New Jackson, Miss.

C. FISHER St. Louis, Mo., May 26.—Intense revolution and turmoil was the awful scene at last Wednesday's session of the A. M. E. Zion general conference at the new Coliseum when prelates went from the sublime to the ridiculous in interest of candidates who sought an elective office. Dr. C. S. Whitted of Philadelphia led on the first ballot for the office of governor of New York in a hood. When a second count was taken it was noted that Whitted's strength had decreased from 140 to 125 votes. In the meantime his near-supper was Samuel D. Davis was given an increased vote, jumping from 24 to 129 votes. Ballot Box Stuffed Dr. Davis Withdraws In an explanation to the general conference Bishop Martin related that he detected two packages in the ballot box as he was escorting the teller to the stairway to where the votes were counted. Upon investigation, he said, one package contained 10 ballots and the other had four. "Brothers and sisters, I have been grossly insulted; more than I ever have been insulted. I have a respect for this general conference. It does not mean anything for me to cheat," uttered the bishop. Another ballot was taken. Rev. Mr. Davis withdrew from the race and Dr. Whitted was elected. The grand secretary-treasurer of the Ancient United Knights and Daughters of Africa of the United States and its possessions. Four years ago when the general conference of the A. M. E. Zion church in Danapolis Dr. Davis was a candidate for a general office. He said he was counted out at that time by two votes.

DON'T FORGET NATIONAL EDITION PRICE TEN CENTS OPS VOTING TIES UP SESSIONS FOR TWO DAYS All Chosen Are From Southern States By DAVID W. KELLUM (Photo on Picture Page) After a deadlock that stretched through 33 hours of exciting balloting, delegates to the 28th quadrennial session of the African Methodist Episcopal church elected to the office of bishop the following four men, who will fill the places of those who died during the last four years: R. A. Grant, Jacksonville, Fla.; S. L. Greene, Little Rock, Ark.; M. H. Davis, Baltimore, Md., and G. B. Young, Dallas, Tex. This deadlock breaks the record of 13 hours during the Methodists held their last conclave. At that time it took three ballots to elect Bishops A. L. Galins, John A. Gregg and R. C. Ransom. Six Ballots Necessary S six ballots had to be taken Thursday and Friday before delegates could fully decide who should be elevated to the chair. The balloting started at 11 a.m. Thursday and ended at 5 p.m. Friday. The count on the first two ballots showed a complete deadlock. Rev. Greene polled 581, while Young polled 455 and 452, necessary for election. Rev. Monroe Davis led on the sixth ballot with 508 votes. The election went on record as having been the most heated in the history of the A. M. E. church. Clergymen say it is the first time in the history of the church that six ballots had to be taken. Two ballots were taken at Thursday session, but no decision could be reached despite the fact that the voting lasted throughout the No Decision Reached With Bishop W. Sampson Brooks, formerly of Africa, presiding, the balloting got under way at 11 a.m. Thursday morning. Count on the ballot was returned at 6 o'clock, first when he declared, could be reached, the delegates immediately lined up and cast their votes for a second time. At 1:30 a.m. Friday count on the second ballot showed no response. Less than five minutes after the reading of the final vote, the armory was thrown into an uproar. Men yelled, while women screamed to the tops of their voices in an effort to attract the attention of the presiding officer, who was reporting Greene, Grant and Young begged for a third ballot, while the North, East and western delegates sought a recess. They pleaded with Bishop Brooks to adjourn the meeting, but this met the disapproval of the southerners and the bishop was forced to call a vote. A standing vote showed 360 favoring the adjournment, while 180 denied it. The bishop, too, loose when Bishop Brooks announced the "ayes" winners. His failure to declare the vote, however, caused a complete uproar and more than four hours were spent in fillbustering. Every speaker that took the platform either by one delegation or the other. Unable to Restore Order Unable to restore order, Bishop Brooks turned the gavel over to Bishop H. B. Parks, president of the bench of bishops of the A. M. E. church, for the remainder of the morning. Upon a suggestion made by Bishop W. D. Johnson the conference agreed to a short recess. Delegates refused to leave their seats and at 9 a.m. cast their ballots for the Eighty-four clergymen sought the four coveted seats. Five of these made good showings on the first two ballots. Rev. Grant lacked 48 votes of becoming bishop on the second ballot. On the third, he received 15 votes than were necessary to elect him. Dr. J. C. Caldwell, a member of the A. M. E. Sunday School Publishing board; Dr. H. R. Wright, editor of the Christian Record for more than 20 years; Rev. Nesh Williams, Nashville; Teenn; Rev. A. J. Wilson of North Carolina; Rev. J. C.

Many seem leath to unstrap the banners from their car wheels or to remove the cards of defeated candidates from the back of the table on the sidewalk, where fortunes go with the purchase of an herb tincture "guaranteed to keep you cool." To your question about what diseases you have, the lady will tell you with "What have you got?" There's the necklace vender, whose stock is composed of dark blues, blacks and grays. Serious people, serious colors, he reminds. The traveling photographer bears the visitor to take home a souvenir. The doors are a bit clearer since the armies of workers who blocked traffic dealing out handbills and plugging for their leaders. Perhaps they make up the mumbling little groups to stand about discussing the election. On past the postcard dealers, over empty pop bottles into the big hall, packed to its capacity at times and booths displaying toilet articles, linere, religious literature, attractive novelties from missionary fields of Africa and the romantic life of heroes, the jeweler who twists your name, the cigarette advertisement, to the platform, where the dignitaries of the church, with a corps of officials, are the serious business of the conference. Women Ask Recognition At intervals above the continuous hum of voices, mellow chimes played softly on bass and so voices could be snatched up and heard. A ripple of applause and a line of women march up the aisles bearing signs. Some of them read, "We want a joint missionary board." "We want our president." "We want our president." They are defecates from the Women's Mite Missionary society and the Women's Foreign Missionary board. They ask to be reelected instead of an ordinary commissioner. There are few placards inside of the hall. This was forbidden by legislation, but the last conference was energetic boosters about to keep your hands filled with cards and blank ballots. They circulated around, they circulated around, they strung from their necks, or pinned to their backs like billboards. One candidate who made up his mind to enlist in the military last minute, walked around carrying his bible. Some charged that his helpmate was ambitious to become a bishop's wife. It was later whispered that he rejoiced. A quite a bit of discussion was paused by the methods of canvassing for the high offices. There should be more canvassing, more dignity, some action. Others charged that the action savored too much of ward politics. While another argument advanced was that the church was more dignified side of the church was important and had to be carried out. Then the delirium of voting, which another delegate was pushing, during the noisy demonstrations, the big partition which was meant to shut out all but delegates was pushed down amid the defending roars which energetic boosters were calling the names erased out with each balloon. See Many Sights Four o'clock Friday morning, and the lines still standing firm. An observer making the rounds saw many eights. There was the dear old man with sleep, and with sleep he had plumed the picture of his choice across his bosom with an immense safety pin, where it nodded his sentiments with every bob of his white head. Another old man wore a hat, and another corner of his white handkerchief, His favorite card stuck out from the front like the hood of a cap. Other delegates had donned black skull caps before passing into temporary offices, and others oversy over the balcony rails. One man who tried to stir up action by talking of a "split" was bored.

"This city," he added, "allows those who come to each other and fight for each other were from them by the masses of people." "Also," Dr. Roberts continued, "the one event to us our first lesson is to be a businessman, a businessman and contented home owners are the church-going element," he added, "a businessman, bankers and ministers, church on together." Dr. Roberts concluded. He was followed by the Rev. G. H. (Gregory) H.

Higgs Estate Settled Wake County, N. C, May 25 — The estate of the late Charles Higgs, a nephew of the county, has been recently settled by court decree. The matter was under litigation for some time, but the controversy is now concluded by the court. The estate is equally divided among the decedent's three daughters, Mrs. Elizabeth Higgs Williams of Washington, D. C, and two others, who reside in the house state. Visitors visiting Montreal can find accommodations by inquiring at the antique st., Montreal, Canada—My. Memphis Abolishes Mr. James Crow for Ten Days—Almost Contrary to reports circulated by certain organizations that took part in the national conference of social workers centrally, there was no let down in the customary prejudice that attends affairs of this nature in the South. At the meeting of this conference in December 1952, Memphis placed its bid for the 1925 session, the question of Khan influence and prejudice was brought up by certain Jewish organizations, and the discussion raged over Memphis finally convinced those in charge that there would be no discrimination—that all races would be treated alike. The discussion accepted that city's invitation. Being still doubtful that a city as steeped in prejudiced customs as is Memphis could get away from it even though the city had no prejudice organizations refused to participate. And where the conference in Des Moines was attended by upwards of 4,000 persons, barely 2,500 had the chance to attend. Those who did go there found that their fears were well grounded. Ushers Insult Delegates Although there was no actual segregation in the large Municipal auditorium where the sessions were held, it was necessary to replace the white delegates with black delegates in this place with Boy Scouts. The ushers, organized, refused to seat any but white delegates on the main doors, and when reimbued, worked in a body. That was the first insult. Again there were strict lines drawn in the hotels. Where white delegates attended, many sessions were scheduled for hotels as "dinner meetings" only white delegates attended. Of all the private dinner meetings held at the doors to all delegates, and those were the Catholic Men's club and the Elks club. Other sessions held outside the auditorium, and many were metered strictly to the Mempuh club. But perhaps the most flagrant insult to delegates and visitors occurred in the manner in which the printed materials were being inspected by the committees there was a definite plan to insult delegates by omission of even the ordinary courtesies of names. Women heads of committees were addressed from the floor of the sessions by their first names.

After spending for a day's sentence on a charge of simul- --- Mrs. Mills, who comes from one of the oldest families in the state, was employed as laborer or helper in the state health department, where she encountered trouble with a preoccupied white woman working for her employer. According to Mrs. Mills, the white woman, Mrs. Forest Lang, insisted upon her searching a boutique in the city. Mrs. Mills refused to stop her work to give her white co-worker. This ignored the Hatfield woman and prompted her to call Mrs. Mills vile crimes it was. Several blows On learning of the trouble, Dr. B. Henshaw, head of the department, dismissed the white woman. Several days closed and the woman was arrested. She was found guilty and given an unusual sentence. She then appealed the case and a whole year elapsed before the trial. One of the opinion of a large number of citizens that the persecution of Mrs. Mills was a part of a political fund. The judge of the prosecution Dr. L.

Among the distinished guests of the concern are the late Dr. John DeFender and editor of The Chicago Defender, and Attorney N. K. McGill, general counsel for the Defender. They inspected the entire plant and pleased and gratified with their trip. Penal Institutions Openiv Violate Laws There can be no respect for the laws of the city, state and nation when officials of the jails are guilty of closely backing these laws in the city, state and nation and discrimination in the Chicago and Cook county penal institutions must go. The citizens have long suffered injustices at the hands of private enforcement from the institutions which are supported by their taxes. The quartering of prisoners separately, different dining and exercise hours cannot be maintained in Chicago. No one can respect the laws if the enforcers are found breaking them. Emal punishment must be accorded all prisoners, given their less fortunate companions will naturally attempt to enforce this treatment when they are freed and in this time will lend to serious trouble if the wrongs are not righted.

Justice should be placed throughout the system. There should be at least three of the citizens' representatives in each new station. We should know that city is the size of Chicago has not a fire officer as representative of these 175,000 taxpayers. There are firemen who have shown a far more liberal attitude towards its citizens in placing their representatives in the fire systems. The Defender asks a fair amount of all the maintenance of these stations. Negligence of Girls Arouses Citizens Here Wholesale misgence of young girls in Chicago has aroused the indignation of citizens here to a certain degree, but consideration be given to some of the applications made by women to become members of the police department. It is that the only way to curb the large number of delinquents among girls is to add more women to the force. At present there are on 35.

C., May 25. — A woman is in fall without bond and her husband is being held under heavy bond as the result of what authorities believe was the murder of the 11-year-old step-daughter of the woman by slow starvation for the purpose of collecting life insurance. Amelia White, 35, is the woman and James White, about the same age, is her husband. The dead child, Varnell White, was 11 years old. The refusal of Dr. Dillard, to sign a death certificate for the child and the body aroused led to action by the authorities. Coroner T. R. Robinson and County Health Officer L. W. Corrion said that the girl came to her death as the result of starvation, the death being hastened by brutal beating, the death of the child, and the life of the child and notified an insurance agent shortly after the child's death in the effort to collect the insurance is believed to supply the motive. Plan Second Victim Neighbors, it is said, had commented on the fact that the two clean confinement and also had heard considerable screening in the house of the body of Vernell White disclosed an advanced stage of coma and was apparently freshly made, apparently freshly made.

THE CHICAGO DEFENDER Regard Visa Situation as Power Abuse That the Brazilian government is not acquainted with the differences are made by their officials in formation backed by the laws of the land will not tolerate such a condition was expressed in a letter to the Brazilian government, one of the most distinguished lawyers of that country, to Editor Robert S. Abbott, publisher of The Chicago Defender. It was learned that there appeared to be understanding by only white persons are granted freedom to travel in Brazil from the United States. All others who apply passports are taken through a "Teddy Bear" passport, informed that the restrictions are so severe on foreigners entering South America that visas cannot be obtained. A view of such a report that has been circulated, Edit Abbott cubed his friend, the Hon. de Moras, in order to ascertain the position of the Brazilian government on the matter, that such action on the part of the officials of his country in America is regarded by the government as a real abuse of power which has no effect on the Brazilian federal constitution. The noted lawyer stated in a part of his letter: "Here in Brazil there is only proclaimed free entrance into the country and people with 'contagious illness, indigenous people and prostitutes. All valid persons capable of work, of honest character have the right to work, to use their fusing vases, if repeated and ascertained, will give cause to lawsuit for indemnity, promoted by the injured party." He has to check such intolerance and abuse of power were outlined by Hon. de Morenas for Editor Abbott to adopt. A conference between the publisher and Secretary of State Logo is already been set. At this time the matter will be discussed fully. A committee from the DeSalu club, a public-spirited organization, recently called upon Maj. J. C. Collier, director of the Chicago 1333 World's fair, and outlined the reasons why he should have an exhibit named in his honor. The director was amazed at the historic and herole life of this pioneer builder and readily agreed to help him in the project. It is now up to the nation to see that the deeds and life of this man are honored at the fair, where all of his heroes and builders will be lauded. The plans to have a building at the fair for this pioneer does not relieve Chicago from its obligation to erect a memorial for the first real estate boutique in honor of Desirable. The second largest city in America is indebted to this hero for his 17 years work in placing the foundation upon the site of the first real estate and for the first store and trading post on the shores of Lake Michigan. The citizens must not relent in their fight against the building must be when the fair comes to Chicago a monument, not showing newness, must be seen in some imposing locality or a beautiful boulevard must be seen in some imposing locality, the fender urges its readers in Chicago and throughout the nation to write letters assuring the director of the fair interest in securing a memorial building for this hero and city builder. THE NEW YORK TIMES New Beauty for your hair ```markdown ``` WIDOW WINS JUDGMENT IN INJURY SUIT Case Raises Technical Point in Law Judge Victor Arnold of the circuit court May 17 rendered a decision affording judgment for $3,750 against Jimmie Lee Smith. Jimmie Lee Smith. Mrs. Smith resides at 4808 Prairie Ave. and is a piece of police Lieut. John Scott. This decision has been made before the court and every time the decision has been in favor of Mrs. Smith, widow of Fred Smith, who was sent September 17, 1925, and died Feb. 1926. The decision of Judge Arnold sustained each of the points raised by Attorney William H. Temple for Mrs. Smith, widow of Fred Smith, in which the murder in which the accident took place when Fred Smith was injured was proved by records filed by Scars C. H. Smith, a testimony touching upon facts in testimony of officers of the defendant, Attorneys Adler, Lederer and Kahn, briefs and argument presented by Judge Arnold contended that there could be no proof of the accident because there was no eye-witnesses to the crime of the alleged injury to Fred Smith. No Similar Case Judge Armold's decision was to the effect that his 'split of the fact that there were no reported supreme court cases down the rule that an accident resulting in death may be proved by record required to be kept by law, the Supreme Court, where this point had been decided in other states were amply sufficient to sustain this method of proof. The further effect of the court's decision was that the cross-examination of the Lackount, professor of pathology, Rush Medical college, and of Dr. Joshun J. Moore, director of the National Pathological laboratories, both of whom clearly developed that these witnesses were forced to agree with Dr. Edward W. Becasley and Nathaniel W. Becasley, that there was direct relation between the accident of Fred Smith and his death four months later. In the event that attorneys for St. Louis appeal to the Illinois supreme court, this step will cause the higher court of the state for the first time to decide whether an injury resulting in death was due to the accident of witnesses may be proved by records required to be kept by the defendant.

Villard Praises Staff In reply to the welcome and praise received by the senator, he could not accept the affair as something for himself but accepted it on behalf of the members of his staff and assisted him in building an institution. "My great uncle," Wendell Garrison, and Godkin, the greatest political writer of all times, founded the institution in order to frame the minds of the people in rebuilding the wrecked South. Ten years ago we bought a better world, and we may rebuild a better world," the journalist explained. How the daily press was being menaced by capital was discussed by the senator, and added that financial strain smothers liberal journals. He assailed editors for the twisting and general practice of dishonesty. "Prohibition was adopted in the South to get more work out of the laborers. As soon as white men decided that they wanted to drink and smoke, they were to ignore the law. In South Carolina, attempts were made to pass a child labor law. As a result of its failure, all of the children were employed in the local factories. In the other children and consequently, they have to go to school.

Mr. Sunny was also one of the directors of the 1893 world's fair and vividly recalls what the weather man did during its early days. Said he: "The Columbia exposition was opened on May 1 and we soon realized that we had made a mistake, for the season that the weather was cold.

At the Villard dinner Wednesday evening, which was given in recognition of the journalist's crusade against segregation, intolerance and dishonesty, it even cropped out. After most of the guests had been seated, several white persons went to the head of the arrangement committee and insisted that they be removed to another table so as to avoid the company of persons at their tables. The head of the Chicago Nation club politely informed the parties that under no circumstances would they change the seats. The seats had been issued according to time application for reservations had been received. No discrimination in the seating of the guests in any way. The disgruntled people were again reminded that for generations the Villard family has known the use of freedom, itselfish service and the use of freedom, liberty and equal privileges of all men. In taking over the own home, Mr. Villard said that his primary purpose was to fight intolerance and bigotry. He was be remembered that in Baltimore the Villard dinner was changed from a hotel to a private home because the hotel refused to allow guests to wear a suit. He formed that the color line was going to be drawn if the dinner were given at the hotel, the journalist wired that the hotel would send such an affair under any circumstance. Here at a dinner in honor of the great liberal grandson of William Middlet Garrison, who was dragged out of the house against abolition of glaxery, some ignorant whites attempted to draw the color line. The puffful thing then is they called themselves liberals. DETROITERS HERE Marcheal N. Parker, deputy clerk of the municipal court: Peter W. Cassey, managing editor of the Boston Journal, News and F.

Most men have some degree in the job they are professionally will carry for them a niche in the hall of fame. Find out just what that quality is in yourself. The characteristic may not be similar to the quality you may be equally good, but entirely different. A wise providence has decreed that our successes should be achieved through pursuing plans which differ, at least in some slight particular. This week the Regal Symphony orchestra is playing selections from the famous Opera "Alda" interpolated with interesting novelties musically, historically, and culturally; the dimbre soprano is singing the aria "Dumbo opera." It is quite gratifying to the musicians who compose this most perfect group of musicians in the world. Their hour of public has been educated to the higher class of music. Several years ago an orchestra had to "jazz up" to get decent applause; not so much so as to come to the theater on time and on entering the house they carnely inquire. "Is the overture on yet?" the roster of the Regal theater orchestra includes Cutcheson, Jimmy Bell and Robert Waugh, first violins; Lawrence Dickerson, cello; Walter Wright, bass; Norval Morton, flute; Wm. Reuven, violin; M. Renaul Robins and Reuben Reeves, cornets; Wm. Franklin and Edward Atkins, trombones; Jasper Taylor, drums; Kenneth Anderson, Samantha Williams and Wm. Chamber musicians, and Dave Peyton, conductor. Several weeks ago McKinney's Cotton Picker orchestra was engaged to play the annual spring prom dance of the students of the Indiana university. Previous to this time he engaged to play this college social affair. Encore after encore was accorded the crack Detroit orchestra, one of the most marvelous orchestras in the country, barring none. He made fame for themselves at the Graystone ballroom in Detroit, Mich. They are flying under the direction of Geng Goldkette. Russell Writes Luis Russell, pianist, formerly with Joe Oliver's orchestra, writes that the band is in New York city and that he is doing well. His boys are good players and under Russell they must be. I have always admired the members and ambitions this young man Hampton Choir Praised Hampton Choir Praised New York musical critics were unhappy with the praise of the Hampton institute choir, which, under the direction of R. Nathaniel Roberts, in Carnegie hall, New York, and in Washington, D.C., before Paul Coulde, as the outstanding Negro musical organization and a legitimate place among the serious choral bodies of the city. D Mr. Diett pre- sented a program completion of the early church, Russian songs of the early Dave Payton church h e r ch, Russian liturgical works, religious compositions, spirituals and the "Idolm in Moors and Autumns," from works of his own. "Better choral singing," says Edward Cushing in the Brooklyn Engle, "that done last does not often hear—indeed, choral singing as good is relatively rare. No New York assemblage, save possibility that trained by Stephen Townsend, trained by Mr. Townsend, fully compete with Dr. Dett's singers. More proficiency is no doubt to be required by any chorus willing to submit itself to intensive drill, but the ordinary consideration in comment upon the Hampton institute chor, whose most remarkable asset is a body of having the sorority and devoted voice of the voice at its best. It was a pleasure to hear this tone placed at the service of such works as those which no make in the first group on the prose and music of the 16th and 17th centuries. The New York Times said in part: "Of the sympathy the choir showed toward the music of Russian composers, of the singing of part songs by Telikovsky Shvedov and Lvosky, as indeed the greater number of the performances by exceptional delicacy of sound, shading, by good attack and rhythm, and a distinctive quality of tone." Charles L. Isakson in the Morning Journal program of Negro spirituals, which one ordinarily is presented by any organization of Colored singers, Dr. Dr. Dett as an educator well as a teacher to demonstrate the minumum in which the music of the arts of the masters. It is not extravagant to say there has been no noir example of choir singing in this seascape, and refinement in the work which testified to the taste of the conductor and the long hours of rehearsal and study testified, moreover, to the ability of the conductor in training of this order. Not in bold rolling spirituals of broad accent and intonation, but here in the modeled chaste measures of the olden church. The New York Herald-Tribune praises the choral technique of the group, which gave an impressive performance, unincompetented throughout, and without interruption, while the touch at the beginning of the numbers. Their choral technique is unique and amusing, and an absolute precision of attack. "They was notable unity in spirit and execution, a tone marked by strength and prideworthy depth and color." Benny Meroff and Band At last we have had the pleasure of hearing Benny Meroff and his crack spurt was not resettled. It was a real test to hear the syncopated music properly played, shaded and colored. Benny Meroff showed he is an acrobatic dancing leader swainting his baton at all times in perfect tempo with the orchestra players who readily respond to his emotional melody. The South side will be welcome Benny Meroff and his band any time he arrives. The musicians will be. The musical arrangements of the orchestra are modern and colorful and well played by the bunch. In one of the sections, the band will Armstrong to play with them. When they had finished one needed to muffle the ear, so thunderous was the applause. Meroff does all sorts of tricks in directing his orchestra. He is versatile beyond a doubt and also has a pleasing personality. He had the ability to play with the band. Manager Fasin was all smiles over the success of the evening. The beautiful ballroom was crowded. The band was Dickerson and Clarence Black with their units extended themselves, to the delight of the vast throng. If you want to see the musicians you must go to the Savoy. Cotton Club Orchestra Another real orchestra is housed in LA Rue's Dreamland club and they perform at the laud of the Cotton Club orchestra, at which place they made their reputation in the great metropolis. Their music is from the famous Cafe de Paris orchestra. Their playing is soft and sweet. They do not indulge in that disagreeable music. Their instruments are good floor players too. In the orchestral line-up are James Maxey, Andrew Brown, Walter Thomas, George Scott, Eris Prince, Morris White and Arthur Boyd. 208 Officials to Convention Verona Biggs, president, and Roscoe Copeland, secretary, both honored of the musical arts, will be able later in the night to attend the convention of the American Federation of Musicians which convened in Chicago to help them will accomplish something in the interests of the Chicago musicians. Every year they do some good, and he will not stop until he gets what he goes after. He has served three successful terms as president of this organization, and will attend any in the American federation.

Remember this, whether you know it or not, the law is strong and strong if not stronger than any union in the world that is the Equity Actors association. Any white girl or man leaving New York or Chicago with a job has not the slightest amount of worry about the show stranding or not getting back to the point from where they started. The moment one of its members wires the headquarters of Equity and traveling expenses is sent as fast as electricity can carry it. Our artists are a union, but our unsupportive members have the makings of a has at present no strength or power.

By my old friend Bilo leaving such a good record here made it nice for us to follow. Bilo will long be remembered here, even the kids in the street are singing his praises. In fact the whole of Doc Stranace's show made good here. Before I go any further I want to say how sorry we all are to hear of the death of our dear friends, Tutes Davis, Percy Collison and Silm Henderson. The shock came so sudden to us and our whole company extends their deepest sympathy to the relatives they left behind. John Mason, I weep with you, and our company the bunch that was with the "4-11-44" company, our little friend Mickey Ferguson sends love to all of you. Little Mickey is happy married to Loyle and I am very proud of the Los Angeles. I met my old friend, Ed Toller, the comedian, late of Georgia minstrels. He drove over from Pasadena, Cal. to see me. He is living in solder. The Lincoln theater has a new system. It changes its shows on Saturday and Sundays and a midnight show Saturday. Business is good so far. The public is taking to the shows we produce like steel Leroy Broomfield and Misa Aroca Greeley are sitting on top of the show world. They have their own sports team, and a bungalow that just won't quit and a little German police sheepdog that almost has some sense. But the dog is not a pet, and the dog, as he is just a little puppy. Henry Star, the most popular entertainer out on the West coast, is a dog who plays and plays during our stay here. Had us out to the radio station KMTR in Hollywood Monday and showed us a nice time. While there we all brought our dogs, and we nice letters from the public, complimenting the talent we displayed. Some people out East have the impatience to sit in the wild and woody West, but listen to this, it is the sixth city in size in the United States and the second city in any city in this country. Now don't say Amon's a flicker, just look it up for yourself. I am proud of it be- I want to hear from Flo Brown and her husband at once. Wire my me important news for you. Am broadcasting my best regards to Eddie Hunter and Norman Atwood, who bring Chickie company, skies, boys, dress follow a line to the Lincoln theater, Los Angeles, Cal., as I will be here quite a while. I remember, Oh, please excuse me, dear little Paul, I mean Miss Mamie Smith, I am so forgetful. Well, anyway, all the folks out this week for you. You are out here. A word to the wise is unnecessary. Miss Emma Hawkins, our little heart of the people out here, and Lottie Gee and her partner, Edith Spencer, have the key to Los Angeles. You see what John's hearts of the people out here, and Lottie Gee and her partner, Edith Spencer, have the key to Los Angeles. You see what John's hearts of the people out here, but you know all Gallie. Is he getting his? Not a lot of it, he's done got. Quintard Miller is the same busy little man. Is he going to Marcus Shyter, his partner, is so busy rehearsing this fast little chorus, doing stock and changing shows every week, that he hasn't time to go. Willie Taylor, the fast dancing kid, who was so fast he missed the train to the concert, told us out here, is dancing his way to glory. Our fast working chorus girls are the talk of the town. Well, I will be here next week. So, my best wishes to everybody. I am your pal. Los Angeles. Calif.-Dear Dave: Well, old pal, we arrived in Los Angeles safe and sound and were met at the station with a band and eight ushers. We drove to the movie love me, those boys in the band and the girl ushers certainly looked beautiful. The band greeted us with "Cultured," and left the train they ushered us into the awaiting cars and with a big, beautiful bus for the band and the ushers, and left the Lincoln theater on Central Ave, where we were met by a crowd that gave us a rousing shout as a band. It made my heart jump for joy to see how the people in my part of the country, the West, welcomed the show, as I had told them they would. The trip was a very pleasant one. We had a Fullman sleeper from Chiltern in the company. The folks had the time of their sweet lives looking at the wonderful scenery on the way out. We were in the company, but I enjoyed watching the interest the other folks took in it. Looking over the theater I found every modern improvement required in the argument and the stuge crew most conciential. So it looks as though we were a very pleasant sleeper. Barratt Bilt's Baby Cray Baby Goolfrey were the first of our acquaintances to meet us. Both looked like ready money. Then who should drive the car? Lloyd Collins, and pulled me in and whisked me around the corner to his bungalow to see his new wife, Mickey Collins, and pulled me in and whisked me around the corner to his company, and they both say married life is all to the unstand. They are both working out at the Cotton club Caroline Snow's revue and doing it. Everything is peaches out here, and don't talk about the climate. It is warm. We don't talk about that sort of thing. Leroy Bloomfield, Miss Aurora Greeley, Miss Lottie Moe, Miss Edith Spencer, Gally De Gaston, Miss Emily Spencer, Miss the principals with the Miller and Slayer company. The rest of the names of the people I will give you are Miller and Slayer seem to be very much pleased with the line-up they have and, to tell you the truth, it looks like they are all in the same dandy reputation behind us when we leave. Here's hoping we do. Well, I will tune off and write you a letter. I'm at my apartments, 206 La Vida apartment, 249 E. Vernon Ave. Los Angeles, Calfi, to take me out in the way to Coronado Beach. Too bad, Jim. I wonder what that tree in front of Camille's him is saying about your stuff: you know what I mean. Good luck to all and with best wishes to you Dave, I remain yours.

Make a place for him in the dressing room, and he will be cared for his last days in worrisome comfort.

To have been preceptivated (preceptivated is the only word that properly defines it) into the realm of the drama gave Mr. Heywood a greater surprise than it could possibly give any who saw, read or heard about it.

"Sculpture had its Rodin, he said, "music its Wugner and its Rembrandt, literature its Shakespeare and the motion picture art, the greatest in point of popularity," DeMille went on to say that it was Griffith's sheer iconoclastic disregard for established filming methods in 1908 that paved the way for the technical and artistic screen triumphs. "The motion picture owes more to Mr. Griffith," he concluded, "than to the actors, the actors ever associated with the art."

BURNS RUNS FROM DIXON; GETS A DRAW Oregon Boxer Robbed by Referee ap eon! anaMDs |, Oakland, Cal, May 37.—Boxing fans who have’ toon complaining that they were not getting a run for thelr money had no complaint to offer following laxt night's fes- tivities at the audiorlum. — They got the greatest run they ever wit- nessed and Young Johnny Burns (shite) was responsible. Burns had jbeen hired to box or fight 10 rounds with Georsie Dixon of Portland, but Johnny erossed the ellentele by train- ing for the next Pyle bunion derby. ‘The pavement pounders now nearing New York have been running for- ward all the way, but Inst night Rurns proved that he ean run back- ward faster than any other human being. Even before Dixon could meet him in the center of the ring to shake hands, Johnny started lek pedaling und Ne never made a for~ Ward step during the evening. Referee Fadle White called te a Qraw and the fany ‘called Referee Eddie White a lot of other things hone of chem complimentary. | Dixon chased Burns at least five milles; he Mtopped_ dead in the center of. the Hing and pleaded. with Joknny to make fight out of Ht: ho asked the Feferee ro do something about it and Was told to catch Durns and punch him, “When she hit Johnny inthe stomach he wax warned to Keen his Punches up. Had Dison elected to ght in Turns’ style there would have been no fight. ‘The Portland boy cannot be blamed for not catch ing up with Johnny, as he tained for a fight and nov a marathon Face, Against 2 fighter Dixon should make good. Last night he had no chance fo show his stuft and he regrets tho elreumstauces as much ag the cash customers. After the fight George Moore, Dixon's manager, waxed ‘indignant: Never in my life did I sce a fighter run backwards as much as Burns did, We wanted to give the fans some action but my boy is no Charlie Taddeck nor Charlie Borah. ‘The referee should have thrown Rurns out of the ring early in the fight when he kept on running, If Re had stood up and fought Dixon would have knocked him out as fast as he did in Portiand two months dro, We were warned that Johnny might get on his bieyele and back pedal, but T'never dreamed that he Aould go to stich extremes us Re did, If the thing had been advertised as a running face or taz or something ie might have heen all rizhs, but T Believe the public deserves A fizht when it pays the price. Last time we came here they fave ws Joo Roche, who then was in iis prime as a runner and then they feed us the champion haek pedaler of the world, We are willing to Azht here axain, but “will demand that Dixon” be matched with a fghter and not a track athlete.” Louisville White Sox Beaten By Meldons, 9-1 : ae | Lowlsvite, Ke.

Four teams swung into action on April 29 and the fifth club, the Philadelphia Tigers, opened its home season at Pencoyd park the following Saturday. A large crowd attended the game and were pleasantly surprised by the unexpected strength of Smittle Lucas entry. Pencoyd park is not 10 miles from the city, according to the misinformation released. It is more accessible to fans than is Hildale park and many favorable comments were heard from fans who made the trip there. It is on Ridge Ave. just of the East River drive and can be reached by motor or car No. 61. It is less than 20 minutes from Ninth and Market St. Baltimore has shown unusual strength. Ben Taylor has molded what looks like a championship team for George Rossi down there. He has the best outfield in the league and has been the most effective in a combination of batting and hitting power which is unique. Each man is a speed merchant and the only way a fly ball can escape this trio is by hitting the ball. Texas leaguer. The infield measures up to any in the game, with Taylor, Jackson and Wilson on the bases and Scrapy Brothers at short. The numbers Norman Yokelesey, Strong, Force, McClure, Collins and two other recruits among its members, Clark and Eggleston are high grade players. A back seems to be in reserve strength. "Children of misfortune" might well be applied to the Washington's Rochester Glauca. He has been the new coach has fed over since he bought out the warring factions at the shore. To begin with Lockhart's connection with the student. Johnny Cason was signed up to do the heavy work pending Jones' arrival and last week Collier of Buck Ewing's all Stars was hired. He was the coach of the league. Cason, incidentally, was injured in the opening game in New York and Dallard had to be brought in from the outfield to do emergency training. Cason, incidentally, was injured in the opening game in New York and Dallard had to be brought in from the outfield to do emergency training. Dick Landy went to bed for several days with the flu and when he got up Chaney White took his vapors. He and Henderson both reported out of condition and that wrecked the gunning crew. Grier has been given a definite time to get in shape or be fitted. He is about ready for regular duty. No infield is weak which can boost Carr, Lloyd, Scales and Biggins. It is stright. J. Hennery himself is a vital force on the sack and with the bat. In the outfield are Young, Mason, Gray, formerly of the Homestead Grizzlies, possibly Johnny Depp, the status of the elver Fats is yet undetermined, although he has appeared for the Lincoln under the moniker Blankenship. He is the property of the Black Sox and Keenan is anxious to sign him for his outpatrol. In the indiana Tigers are not going to the soft spot.

Johns Hopkins U Seeks to Draw the Color Line Baltimore, May 15.—The South Atlantic championships may not be held in Baltimore on June 9 because Johns Hopkins university officials have refused to allow any but white to compete. The championships, which were to be held at Homewood field, may be transferred to another city that will not bar Race athletes. Last year the championships, which were scheduled to be held at New Orleans, were carried to another city when southern officials refused to allow D. L. Hofman to attend. At a meeting of the South Atlantic association this week it was announced that only white boys would compete in the championships. W. D. Hofman chairman of the association, told the Defender reporter that his committee was not sympathetic with the Homewood officials that had been sent to Colored schools and colleges. The A. A. U. officials did not draw the color line against registered athletes was demonstrated at New Orleans. midable one. Cliff Carter, Bill Johnson, Sess Johnson, Alex Cooper, Nixon Washington, George Johnson and Bunnie Downs are a nucleus for a good team.

Larry Johnson Meets Martin Burke June 18 Larry Johnson, light heavyweight has been matched to fight Martin Burke at Flint, Mich., on June 18. He will go good around Chicago of late, but is able to get steady work, most of the white boys being afraid to meet him. Roy Williams Is to Fight in Michigan Roy Williams, Chicago, middleweight, and Bob Sage of Detroit, will meet in a 10-round bout at Flint on June 4, at the hall park Bilt and Johnny Graynor, 184 pounders, are matched for eight rounds. This race is the outstanding event among our auto speed kings, as none of the white associations, the Indianapolis IndyCar series included, have as yet let down the race, and permitted our drivers to enter. The track on which the race will be held is the last word of its kind, being part of the $3,000,000 plant of the Indianapolis IndyCar series, every facility for affording not only a thrilling, spectacular race, but every comfort and convenience for a wonderful day's outing, features are planned in conjunction with the main event, a dashing, fearless woman driving a huge car in a solo race to break the established one mile record, airplane ascension and an outburst of flame in the balance by the popular Bohemian club. Effort is being made to secure Leunt. Herbert Julian, eminent Race aviator, to come for this event be prepared to take a trip flight from New York to Toronto he plans this summer. All in all, this year's race bids fair to be a banner event, long to be remembered and worth one planning even now to attend. Daily at the headquarters, received at 518 Indiana Ave, Indianapolis.

St. Louis Moves Over to Cleveland for Five Games By WILBUR M. COOPER Cleveland. Ohio. May 22.—After a disastrous road trip to Detroit, Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham, he and his team took to their own backyard, Luna stadium, for a five-game series against the St. Louis Stars, starting Saturday, May 25. Sunday will be Jim Taylor day at the stadium, for it was the St. Louis manager who put Cleveland on the baseball map back in 1921 with his team. He developed the Tates was wonderful. He has done still better with the St. Louis Stars since taking over the manager, three years ago and again. He developed a team with a percentage of over $60. Jim has kept his team intact and has only made a few changes since his arrival. It has been rumored that Mr. Barkin, the Tigers' backer, is going to do some slam shaking down of the club upon its arrival here from Birmingham, satisfied with the results on the road. Sam Terrell, business manager of the Tigers when they left on their trip, has resigned by request, and is now working where the ax may fall. But regardless of what happens Cleveland will have a team on the field full of scrap to keep their jobs, for from there he tells us he means business, and how. field full of als, for means busi- will in prob- the Stars in Curry, former under in re- going to giving four out will get als will get or he is crav- ammutes, of the Stars let go when Tigers Duff, cf. c.

The first game was a hurling duel between Tyler of Memphis and Cleveland emerging on the win with Cleveland after a hot nine-inning encounter. Tyler struck out seven Clevelanders, while Stevenron retired six Red Sox hits of Ward and Johnson featured.
