ARREST THREE MINISTERS FOR MAKING MOONSHINE
THERE was a lynching in Ocilla, Ga., U.S.A. No arrests have been made. The governor sent Solicitor General Roy S. Foy to investigate. The sheriff claimed it was too dark for him to recognize any member of the mob, yet The Chicago Defender publishes on page 22 of this issue the picture of the outrage and shame of America. It was too dark for the sheriff, yet it was light enough for the cameraman to take the picture of Georgia justice and American civilization.

America's premier blues singer, who appeared at the Palladium, London's most famous theater, and achieved the honor of being the first woman, of our group to be the star of the whole bill; which over here is called "headfining." When she was the featured attraction at the exclusive night club, the Cafe de Paris, she drew the Prince of Wales to the place three times in one week to hear her sing her "blues." In addition to his royal highness, the ex-king of Greece, the queen of Spain and various members of the English nobility visited the club to hear the famous American comedienne and singer.

Judge Cites Constitution and Decides Against Bus Co.
DETROIT, Feb. 17.—Judge Sampler of Ann Arbor, sitting in court in the Barham Tower, denied the appeal of the Greyhound Bus and Motor Transit corporation against the verdict of Judge Jess Drake on Dec. 6, granting Mrs. Pauline Stevens, 140 Iasting St., $100 for damages against the company. Judge Sampler, after viewing the facts in the case, not only denied the appeal, but awarded the plaintiff an additional $250, making the total $550.
The facts, as presented to the court, showed that Mrs. Stevens purchased a ticket from Detroit to Lima, Ohio, over the Grayhound line on Oct. 21, 1929, and took a seat in the third row from the front in the bus, Mrs. Stevens testified that she was forced by the police to leave because of the seat in the rear, where the rain poured in, soiling and damaging her clothing and causing subsequent sickness. She entered suit for $500, in handing down the decision. Judge Sampler severely reprimanded the defendants for denying the plaintiff her rights because of color. He said he exempted to fix the damages at $1,000. The visiting judge also reminded the defendant that members of our race were originally brought to this country against their will and were
forced to serve as slaves until emancipated. He cited the 15th, 14th and 13th amendments, which guarantee us fundamental rights that should not be denied by the white citizens, especially at a time when Bolshevik riks are making such a strong appeal to the Negro masses.
13-Year-Old Boy Kills Grandma for One Dollar
ANNAPOLIS, Md., Feb. 21—Lester Tyler, a 13-year-old boy, after getting drunk and the "devil got into him" murdered his 75-year-old grandmother for one dollar. A jury here found the boy guilty of first degree murder last week after deliberating 15 minutes. Judge Robert Moss, who will pass sentence upon Leroy, said at the time of the verdict that the only way to check crime was to inflict pain. He confessed to send the boy to the gallows. He confessed slaying Mrs. Mary Ellen Tyler at her home here last November.

Bowing to the cheers of the largest and the noisiest congregation that has ever been squeezed inside four theater walls in the entire history of the South side, Robert S. Abbott, owner and publisher of The Chicago Defender, congratulated five wide-eyed newsboys and two newsgirls for coming out winners in the Defender's gigantic ten-week circulation contest Saturday afternoon and thereby put the finishing touch on the greatest newsboy selling campaign ever staged by a weekly paper in America.
Five smiling newsboys and two girls, "tickled to death" and showing it, climbed to the stage of the Regal theater, shook hands with Mr. About, and then sat on the floor of the Defender, and received the handsomest array of prizes ever set before a bunch of youngsters by a South side newspaper.
Theater Packed
The Regal theater, the largest palace of pleasure on the South side, had been chosen by the Defender promotion managers as the scene of the big party that was to climax the ten-week circulation drive. But an hour before curtain time it was apparent that even the great Regal, with its seating capacity running into the thousands, was all too small. The use of Defender South Playwright that stunned the resources of L. J. Faggen, theater manager, and his well-trained crew of assistants. The largest crowd that had ever been jammed inside the Regal had tiled every inch of space in the great auditorium; it had crowded the big lobby—and still the throng of Defender admirers milled on the

OCILLA, Ga., Feb. 21.—There is no information to warrant indictments against members of the large mob which lynched James Erwin near here on Feb. 1, it was announced Tuesday by Solicitor General Roy S. Foy in his report to Gov. L. G. Hardman of Georgia. Foy stated that he had talked to scores of whites about the "incident" and that, as usual, those who knew anything would tell nothing, and those who would tell knew the sheriff, he reported, recognized no one in the mob because of the "DARKNESS." The lynching occurred early in the morning and there was light enough for the sheriff to recognize mob members and for a picture to be taken.
Commission to Sail for Haiti Feb.22
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 21. President Hoover's commission to investigate conditions in Haiti with a view to working out a definite policy toward that country expects Fletcher of Greenville, Pa., former American ambassador to Italy and a member of the commission, stated at the White House Monday.
Mr. Fletcher, who is arranging details for the visit of the commission would meet either at Miami or Key West, Fla., about Feb. 21, where organization would be effected and from one of which points the commission would sail for Haiti, depending upon what arrangements could be made with the navy department. Fletcher would confer with President Hoover while in Florida, Mr. Fletcher said.

Dr. Wright Named on Board
Dr. Wright Named on Board
NEW YORK, Feb. 21. — A sweeping change in the personnel of the Harlem hospital made this week has resulted in the dropping of 23 white and two Race physicians, and the appointing of 19 doctors of our group and 27 whites.
The order for the drastic reorganization was issued by Dr. J. G. William Greeff, commissioner of hospitals, who sated that "the changes are in the interests of the patients rather than of the men having medical aspirations. I was also influenced by the desire of the mayor (James Walker) to give Colored physicians full and equal opportunity for hospital training and experience. In this matter the mayor has taken the most advanced position of a new public office in the State" and he board include one Race physician, Dr. Louis T. Wright. The other officers are Dr. John Connors, president, and Dr. Thomas A. Marlin vice president.
Charge "Politics"
The drastic shakeup in the hospital has caused rumors to arise that politics played a major part in it. This is denied by Dr. Greff, who alleges that the changes came as the result of a survey and a report made by a committee appointed last August. However, some of the deposed physicians voiced a strong denial that any such survey had ever been made. Certain of the deposed doctors charge that Ferdinand Q. Morton, a civil service commissary, and a former Army officer, Thurlow O. gingered the reorganization so that some of Morton's proteges might benefit. Morton denies this allegations, stating that any and all appointments had been made without any political influence whatever.
New Personnel
In addition to the 27 whites added to the hospital staff the following physicians of our group were appointed: Department of surgery, L. T. Wright, P. M. Murray, Ralph H. Young, Farrow R. Allen, Auhre d L. Maynard, Robert S. Winston and Albert S. Beasley. The department includes Lucien M. Brown, Albert H. Armstrong, J. T. W. Granaday and Vernon A. Ayer. Department of obstetrics: Thomas H. Amos, Jr., and Wiley M. Wilson. Department of pediatrics: Alonzo De G. Smith; ophthalmology; Paul A. Collins and Chester Chinn; dermatology; Ernest R. Alexander; dental hygiene. A large number of Race physicians appointed to the staff of the Harlen hospital makes this one of the most important medical centers for our group in the country.

A novel innovation in peddling moonshine was introduced in Chicago this week when police arrested William Budges, 35 years of age, 5959 Calumet Ave. Budges, who is known to his customers as the "walking saloon," was all puffed out when approached by police. "What's the matter, young man?" the officer asked. "Just got the cramps. My legs hurt and I got them bandaged." But a swift search drew a rubber hot water bottle out of each leg of Budges' trousers. Each bottle contained a quart of moonshine. Photo shows him wearing his bootlegging outfit.

McCormick, the bonds at $15,000 each in default of which they were remanded to the county jail. Solicitor Don Gilliam of Tarbore, who led the prosecution of the case, instructed Judge J. D. Bardin, clerk of the court, to make entries of notary and two charges of forgery and embezzlement and the charge of making false entries in the bank's records. Solicitor Gilliam indicated that he might prosecute these cases at a later date. Stanback is under indictment in United States district court on charges of vexed veras' adjusted compensation act and will probably face trial at the April term of court here.

HAMPTON, Va., Feb. 21.—Striving to meet frankly, but constructively, the problems which confront the men in the building industry, the builders' conference held its eighth annual meeting here on Feb. 10, 11 and 12.
Organized in 1923 to improve the character, use and adaptability of buildings designed and erected by architects and builders through mutual interchange of ideas relative to the building industry, the builders' conference has grown steadily in popularity and influence. New faces appear at each meeting and those who have attended the conference take back to the thank new ideas in construction which will help them produce better buildings.
Competition Keen
The sharp competition which our workers face in almost all lines of industry was definitely faced by the conference, which is seeking to meet builders. The aim of the National builders' conference shows the lines of activity which their programs seek to promote. "An association of employers and their representatives for the object of disseminating information, self-improvement of its members through study, local organization and national conferences, encouraging the training of schools and promoting trade graduates.

First to address the huge gathering was Mrs. Hazeen Smith, white, a native southerner and dear woman, a brave and kind-hearted breed prejudice," said Mrs. Smith, upon opening her talk, "As we come to really learn other races we find they have different ideals, but on the contrary, folks like ourselves with the same human desires and needs." She complained by telephone of the commissioner of operation, said in the formation of a correct public opinion on race questions and if the home and school will install the right baptism gospel will make known the christian gospel that teaches brotherhood."

The Rev. Smith was unable to read the brother's letter. He sought the help of a white man, who ascertained that he had learned to read and had delivered the same sermon more than 300 times to congregations scattered throughout this part of North Carolina and in the eastern states.

This very concrete way of dealing with the subject was illustrated by Linnas T. Pinn, superintendent of Virginia State college, Petersburg, who discussed "Excavation and Buckling"; Saul M. Perdue, builder for the American national association of brickwork; who discussed the work; H. C. Wright, a builder and teacher of bricklaying, Norfolk, Va., who talked on "Masons Work and Mortar"; and Alfred D. Hampton, who dealt with "Touch Framing"; Charles E.

At night there was the business meeting of the National Builders association at which were received the reports of the consulted seismic quantity surveys. The association went on record as standing solidly behind the proposition that there are Colored architects and contractors who are fully competent to perform all the tasks of a leading construction and that they should be given an equal opportunity to bid on all construction work which is to be done. The conference was closed on the last day by a moving picture, "The Transformation" and a lecture. This illustrated the enormous field open to the builder in remodeling houses.

N. C. Court Rules Against Bus Line
RALEIGH, N. C. Feb. 21.—The bus lines of North Carolina must carry all citizens without regard to race or color, according to a ruling handed down by the state supreme court last week. This ruling, which came after a long and bitter light on the part of North Carolina citizens, reverses the decision of the corporation commission, which had ruled that the cars were free to common carriers and therefore were not subject to the laws that governed them. The state supreme court decision in essence was that the busses must make room for our passengers as well as for whites. Iferetore the busses have refused to carry dark passengers at all, and had contended that they were not expecting under the law. I require equal accommodations to be provided for all. This case was first heard several months ago when suit was brought against the company operating the busses by a prominent citizen of Haleigh. Judge Barnhill, who first heard the case, ruled against the bus lines upon an appeal to them, saying that the bus will overthrow them. Then the state supreme court was called upon, with the result that the companies have been ordered to take our passengers and to make proper accommodations for them.

The singers participated in one of the children's concerts last season, but at that time consisted only of the four male voices. The soprano solemnly soared as has been fortunate to emerge, and then to obtain more subtle effects of color and stronger dramatic values, the soprano soloist is an especially beautiful soloist, who fits it perfectly with the others.

A similar motion was not filed in the case of Helen Gordon Curtis, wife of Dr. Arthur Curtis, it indicates that there will be no further action in her case and that the judgment against her will be paid.

At the same time a verdict awarding Miss Ella Fitzhugh against Mrs. Curtis was also returned.
In his motion for a new trial, Mr. Houston assigns eight reasons why the verdict against Carls month month in his case. They are, as stated by Mr. Houston, as follows: First, error of law in receipt of evidence offered by the defendant; second, the exclusion of evidence offered by defendant; third, the court erred in granting instructions asked by the defendant; fourth, the court erred in general charge to the jury; sixth, the contrary is against the defendant in evidence; seventh, other errors apparent of record; eighth, the verdict is excessive; ninth, Camille's attorney for Miss Elizabeth Siddons for setting aside the verdict and granting a new trial will be argued before Justice Frederick L. Siddons, before whom the case was tried, next
Particular emphasis, it is understood, will be placed upon one of the prayers of the plaintiff for instruction and granting it. It had to do with the question of threats and was to the effect that if the jury find as a matter of fact that the plaintiff did actually make threats against the defendants or either of them, they must consider this evidence solely in mitigation of the plaintiff's liability and award the plaintiff and for no other purpose. At the trial there was testimony that the plaintiff had threatened Dr. Curtis, who a warrant issued for her arrest and on July 15, 1927, she was placed under

ASK $5,000 INCREASE FOR MINISTER TO LIBERIA
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1930
U. S. Diplomat Poorly Paid, Figures Reveal
Teacher Hit in Face With Brass Knucks by Policeman
Doctor at 83 Found People Preferred His Prescription
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—President Hoover last Thursday sent to the senate a message transmitting a report by J. P. Cotton, acting secretary of state, recommending an increase in the salary of the minister resident and consul general of the United States to Liberia from $5,000 to $10,000 a year.
This is the third request for legislation authorizing an increase in the salary of the minister to Liberia that has been made of congress. Two recommendations were made by President Obama to the senate committee on foreign relations, where they were pigeonhole.
The report of Mr. Cotton to the president requesting the request be made for enactment of legislation authorizing the increase is virtually the same as the report of former Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg to President Coolidge two years ago on the same
President Hoover in his message said he "is in full accord with the reasons advanced by the acting secretary of state in support of the increase, and I strongly urge upon the government the investment of legislation authorizing it."
The Report
The report of Acting Secretary of State Cotton to the president is as follows:
"The undersigned the acting secretary of state of Louisiana to the home to bring the state's attention the matter of the salary of the minister resident and consul general of the United States to Liberia and to recommend that congress be requested to enact legislation which will authorize an increase thereof in this recommendation the following facts are submitted:
"The salary of $5,900 now appropriated for this office is inadequate and is disproportionate to the salaries of the officers of the United States, and is less than that received by any other foreign representative in Morocco, none of whom has a higher grade than charge staffaies, as those who do not have American representative have the benefit of allowances and perquisites. Thus, in 1925-26, the British consul general and the German consul at Morocco each received a salary of $1,400, while the American entertainment and household allowances. In 1926-27 the British consul general received $9,723 salary, $1,196 local allowance, amounting to $1,416, more than double the entire compensation general, and in addition thereto a house is provided for him. The British vice consul, a subordinate official, receives if married only about $50 per annum less than the American consul general, whose salary is $5,900.
"The British legislation, owned and furnished by the British government, is an elaborate two-story concrete tenement with 14 rooms and appropriate tenements. Germany, France and Spain also provide quarters for their representatives.
States has a number of definite interests in Liberia, all of which the American minister must maintain and advance. Liberia begins under American leadership shaves freed in this country. Liberia has always regarded the United States as her next friend, and on numerous occasions the United States has assisted Liberia politically, financially and economically. There are also extensive American missionary missions in Liberia, both white and colored, with an estimated investment of $500,000 and a yearly budget of $200,000.

Miss Stance, whose home is at Jena, La. was in her auto when the officer stopped the car and rudely asked her to pay a cash fine. Upon being informed by the demonstrator that it
The basis of treating sickness has not changed since Dr. Caldwell bett Medical College in 1855, nor since he paired him with Dr. Caldwell, the physician he had used in his practice, known to druggists and the public since 1852 as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
Then the treatment of constipation, biliary obstruction, mental depression, indigestion, sour stomach and other indispositions that result from constipation was entirely by means of simple vegetable barium, which was obtained from the bones of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which is a combination of sodium and other mild laxative herbs, with pepsin. Dr. Caldwell did not approve of drugs that never had to be given to believe they were good for human beings to put into their system. If grown people want to use them no one can deny them the privilege, but they should never be given to children.
The simpler the remedy for constipation, the safer for the child and you, and the better for the general public, the more likely it will get results in a mild and safe way by using Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, why take chances with strong drugs? Bottles
Many is the family today that makes it a rule always to have a bot-
of rubber plantations. An American concession permits the planting of 1,000,000 acres, which is now being developed at the rate of about 20,000 acres a year. The average mature cost of $1,000,000 annually. There is a $5,000,000 loan to Liberia placed in America and secured by American receivership of customs bank and assisted by an American financial adviser.
"The duties of the American minister resident and consul general are formed by other American ministers and may be fairly compared to those performed by such ministers at possessions of the Latin-American countries. These ministers all receive $10,000 annually." Moreover, with the cost of living at Morovia for a foreign being a resident of the United States, it is impossible for the American minister, unless he be a man of large independent means, to meet the family necessities on his family necessities on the small salary now granted to the post."

Masons on Good Will Tour

ST. LOUIS, Mo., Feb. 21.—"Masonic grips and signs are useless if not used to promote the best interests of the Race."
This was a frank expression of William W. Allen of Baltimore, sovereign grand commander of the United Supreme Council of Scottish Rite Masons of Prince Hall affiliation at a banquet last Monday night, given in his honor by Eureka consistency No. 10 of Masons of high rank in the third floor of the People's Finance building.
"If we can hook up Negro labor to the nation's productive machinery so as to utilize all of it," Mr. Allan declared, "white America would enjoy a profit from Negro markets, rather than have anxieties about race relations, and Masonry will have again served the best in accordance with its traditions."
"Insurance," the speaker explained, "is undoubtedly a safe investment. If Negroes are going to remain as policyholders in insurance companies they have sense enough to say to the owners of these companies, give us employment. The Negro's greatest problem today is unemployment," said the speaker, in his explanation of the serious economic conditions, the Masonic leader asserted: "We may just as well close up our schools and stop educating our children if we cannot prepare places for them after their graduation. In addition to Mr. Allen's fraternal activities he is the only member of our group serving as a member of the Maryland labor commission. He is also a real estate operator and credit officer of the Southern Life Insurance company.

And just to show what women can do in the business world, Missesenden Davis of 6159 Michigan Avenue of 2596 Dearborn St. sold openings to win beautiful sweaters and taps.
"Miss Billiken Billiken," who had ably assisted Bud Billiken in the handling of affairs, was also presented on the stage by the manager of the South Center Department store, which generously donated the long list of awards below the bicycle prizes. Bud Billiken himself presented with a huge basket of flowers for the Regal in appreciation of the huge success of the Defender's Regal party. In his brief address of congratulations to winners Mr. Abbott said: "You are here to show your success, not merely because you have outstripped your fellow newsboys to win these awards, but because you have shown yourselves skilful your business skills, and energetic, hustling competitors. I congratulate you."

Holds Dixie School Leader for $83,289 Embezzlement
JACKSON, Miss., Feb. 21—Burn Hillburn, former white director of the Mississippi agricultural service department and one of the supervisors charged directly with the illegal embezzlement of $3,253 out of trust funds in possession of the state department of education for our schools. The charge was made in a report of the commission by a committee of that body. The committee recommended that the attorney general inquire into the civil service statutes with a view of fitting suit against Hillburn for the rejection of the claim found. The attorney general was also requested to determine whether the funds could be recovered from the banks handling the funds for Hillburn. Special charges of embezzlement contained in the report abridge the following: Rosenwald f. $14,222; general education board, being de-

Elimination of Race Taxicab Companies Seen in Detroit

By RUSSELL J COWANS
DETROIT, Feb. 21.—The local race cab companies have joined hands in opposing the new city ordinance, regulating the taxiscal in Detroit, that was passed by the common council Tuesday after a bitter and prolonged fight that has lasted more than a month. The ordinance which has drawn the wrath of the cab companies are the two clauses which state that one cab company will be the cent of the taxiscal fines issued and the other bonds will be increased from $20, as of the past, to $210 a year. In addition to the above mentioned, the ordinance will also limit the distance, while only slight in nature, will have a tendency to help eliminate members of our Race as factors in the taxiscal business. In the case to the board and the issuance of the licenses will give the Checker Cab, which has taken over the following Detroit and other cities, to manage the taxi business in Detroit. At

Prince of Wales at Cafe De Paris 3 Times in Week to Hear Ethel Waters Sing
LONDON, England, Feb. 21.
—Acclaimed by London as its favorite songstress, sought after by the nobility, and appearing at the leading amusement places of this city, Miss Ethel Waters, noted American comedienne, has become, during her stay on this side, a figure of international interest.
She was the headliner at the Paladium. London's most famous music hall, and is the only woman of our group to over attack her. She mentioned the above mentioned theater Miss Waters achieved a resounding success, which was verified by the praises of London's newspaper "The Times" one of her performances. Minkett Green, one of England's greatest singers, made this comment: "Miss Waters is the most talented performer of the Colored performers I have heard." Although the bronzeed singer experienced some trepidation upon her arrival in the honor position of star of the whole bill, her courage was somewhat strengthened because a few nights previously she was the great "fivol picture house, where her tale, "On With the Show," was being displayed

There is nothing peculiar in the picture other than the fine acting of Nina Mae McKinney, Daniel Hargery, Fiona in Jo Knight, Victoria Sylpy and William Fountaine.

Miace Thomas and Carol Chilton are in Monte Carlo at the Ambassadors club and are a big success. They are also the clever act which will always make them sit up and take notice.

The man who is still alive and with the popular Greene and Drayton act. I often wonder why and how such rumors get around. I am putting it out for publicity.

They open at the Piedicault club. They will play Soul afterwards.

and her reception was highly cordial.
Back of this brief experience with an English audience Miss Waters was able to score heavily at the Paladium.
Since Dec. 2, the noted念念堂 has been appearing at the world famous Dear Paris in London, where the royal ballet is one of the most exclusive night clubs in the city.
During her first week at this place, beginning with her opening night, Miss Waters was on stage on three occasions. After that the place became a mecca for many prominent persons who came to hear American blues sung by their most illustrious performers, the latter being King of Greece; Alexander Carnegie, relative of the king of England, the queen of Spain and a pary of the latter, the latter being the musical work of Miss Waters, the others who came to see her be taken down. Tullahk Bankhead, famous actresses, Lord Furness, Marquis de Cas Maussat, and White in London, Miss Waters is studying under Louis Drysdale in an effort to rid herself of the voice trouble which has bothered her for

hit at the Eastman Palace this week. This quintet (two halves and three cents) has an act of real brilliance which will go anywhere, says the London Encore. The dancing is mostly of the lightning kind, but the speed and intimacy of the steps must be seen to be believed. A comedy gent raises many laughs with quaint maneuvers and also proves himself a first rate and versatile musician, different instruments. Taken all around, the Spillers are an interesting act.
All Colored variety bills are getting somewhat popular in London and this week another one is presented at the Upton Park theater, headed by Jannie Forgenson, Carpenter andatch and Jackson and Jackson, and a large T-shirt it could hardly do otherwise, beheaded by the above suluble artists.
I have just received a most interesting letter from Josephine Baker, Hansa, theater, Hamburg, Germany. She was there for the month of January. Having been away from Paris two years, the popular Miss Baker will open the casino deal in Paris, now in New York, very much contrary to Varley's report of her during her stay in Buenos Aires, only had a three months contract in Buenos Aires, but owing to the main seven months, Miss Varley states it is a most wonderful country and especially so since the money is like the American dollar. I have sons who saw her in Buenos Aires that she was indeed a huge success, which certainly contradicts the Paris Varley reporter's article some time ago, and is enjoying fine health and is looking forward with great pleasure to her return to Paris, where she is still very popular. She will perhaps be to London on route from Hamburg.

He is already making meals for his ride to the beach, and will round at his old home in Seattle, Wash., a number of months and will also give a number of concerts during his stay in the States.

"Halleujah" Draws Praise Down in S.A.
BUENOS AIRES, Feb. 21.—"Hallejahjah," the great American picture, opened in Mardel Plata, a city close to this one, and evoked the highest praise from those who viewed it.
Many columns of luxurious notices have been published in La Prensa and El Nacion, the leading dailies of the country, which says, as the most prolific of all, "for the year, and the finest realization of sound pictures ever shown in South America." Because of the fact that the population of the cities in the South American countries is greatly mixed, and there is little production on the most unusual interest because of its total lack of white voters. This seems, and it is supposed that "Hallejahjah" will be widely shown,

This is said to go on to effect immediately, with a penalty of the loss of jobs for those who do not join. It is expected that the ruling will soon include the players of Jew's-harps and mouth organs.
Previously to this time the regular musicians who play orthodox instruments have looked down upon the lowly players of the aforementioned stringed instruments and the accordion, but with the growing popularity over the radio of such instruments, the unionized boys decided to stop the like strummers, etc.

THOMAS WALLER
RELIABLE FOR 24 YEARS
LONDON, England, Feb. 21.—Beginning some years ago in more or less humble circumstances, a man of Color, who is a native of Jamaica, British West Indies, bids fair to become the most renowned of English singing teachers.
This is Louis Drysdale, whose studio is at Westbourne Road, Forest Hill, London. S. E. 23, is attracting many of the more promising pupils with operatic and concert aspirations.
Mr. Drysdale, well known to singers in America as well as Europe, comes England at the occasion of MEA who took so much interest in Drysdale's musical career that he got him in the Royal College of Muscle. He became a pupil of Gustave Garcia and after leaving the studio studied masters as Clercl, Cellin and Tayo.
Apart from his own excellent training, he has achieved much success at vv training himself.

An eastern magazine has started the old gag question as to who was the greatest: Flo Mills, Aida Overton Walker or Black Pattie Silly argument. Each one was great, very funny, but of different types. Flo Mills is the best, beloved, and Aida Walker, can start to doing the same brand of entertaining but Black Pattie was a singer, and not an actor. Flo Mills is very handsome, and as hard a job to compare Cal Coolidge, Lindbergh and General Pershing.
The writer is in receipt of an autographed picture of Ted Healy, bald, prominent freckles, sushi nose and very hard handsome picture. I should say that a picture could be. Vanity, miraculously, isn't one of Ted's strong points, but a lack of prejudice on the face. Ted Healy is one big tiger who seems to think of color, only of ability.
In a catacard near 39th on South Piety, a drunken oak couple bumped into a sober mixed couple several times with deliberate intent, seemingly because the sober couple were the drunken girl who resented this fact, which is something new under the sun, if you ask me.

tays in part: "Among our teachers who are succeeding in training our younger singers Louis Drysdale is the most successful of our enlightened singers, the great advantage of a keen intuitive sense of rhythm, which is the life of music, and which is inherent in race, many of our enlightened singers are." Among his pupils have been Florence Mills, John Payne, George Carner and Ethel Waters, as well as many noted European stars of the group. Mr. Drysdale uses the Italian method of music production (beanto) and features tone placing, breath control, diction and style. His repertoire includes German, French and English music, and he annual concerts in which his students appear are West end events each year and his pupils are attracted from all over the continent. When Editor Robert S. Abbott and his wife during their stay in London encountered difficulty in securing hotel accommodations, Drysdale resuscitates, throwing open his home to them and entertaining them elaborately.

COAST BREEZES By Frankye Marilyn Whitlock
BY FRANKYE M. WHITLOCK
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 21.—Before giving our readers the latest concerning Coast stage doings, we are obliged to have an understanding with a certain Coast performer, also the agent for this performer. As the latter is seen rarely by us, it is very necessary that we, through this column, make it known to the person that the author of Coast Breezes was questioned by several of the leading performers on the Coast in regard to an article that appeared in this section a few weeks ago. It was the article happened to be full of unfounded statements, making the writer thereof anything but a truth bearer. Although it was not under Coast Breezes, Coast enlistment it in, as the entertainer in question had previously held the spotlight through Breezes. We made it known that such an article was Greek to us, so far as our having a hand in it, so far as we having it to the editor of this department.
Crooks Caroline Snowden, Florida Washington and several white acts from downtown.
The Broomfield and Greely revue of the Cotton club is going over big Residue Broomfield and Aurora principals include Baby Mack, May Day Broomfield and Oliver Ettin Spencer, Martha Riche and Frisco Nick.
Studio Notes
James Epson, winner of the Examination movie entrant contest, is the author of Coast Breezes, others being white. Mr. Mack is making the picture of which the young man has a part.
Stephen Fechit is still out at Haven and working with "OuG kidnaps." Baby Mack, Cotton club favorite is out at Fox studios working in an act whose title we haven't learned.

Do you know that we saw Caroline Collins down the avenue with a certain little miss? Wasn't Mickey Collins, either.

We dislike the idea of exposing the name of the entertainers involved, as soon as they are known, but in case they are thinking about pulling another clever stunt of the kind we certainly hope that they give their rival, Miss Aurora Greely, their own stunt. We are concerned the entertainer Chable Collins the credit for introducing the song hit, "Melancholy Mama," as the former and latter of the actress, and the article concerning the entertainer scoring such a hit and head-lining at an exclusive night club, of which the actual producers, Leroy O'Neill, are involved, nothing about, neither did any of the other big-time performers. Naturally we wouldn't want our readers to be in a dark concerning the song hit and the actual singer of "Melancholy Mama."
Also if anything else similar to the incident of a few weeks ago occurs in the entertainment industry, only expose the name of the one-time star of Los Angeles and the entire Coast. We are hoping that such an unpleasant thing will not again
Leonidas Slimmons and her "won't" Marmon left the city several days ago for New York. Miss Slimmons will be greatly missed by all of her friends and admirers on the Coast. We've just been informed that Carolyn Snowden has received an offer to star at the Cotton club, New York. We wonder?
At the Night Clubs
The Jockey club, a new avenue house, reopened Valentine day with Buster Wilson and his boys furnishing the music. Our readers will hear most about his club next week. Mr. Malt Walt Maltz of Australia, were guests of honor at the Apex club Wednesday evening, professional night.

BY BILLY SMITH
"Hallelujah." Metro - Goldwyn-Mayer's four star picture, which featured Nina Mae McKinney and Daniel Haynes, and which contained no white faces at all, has aroused more comment and criticism, and incidentally more praise, than any other moving picture ever made, with the possible exception of Griffith's "Clansman."
The reaction of white audiences and white critics is invariably one highly favorable to the vehicle. But the reaction of Race audiences and white critics is hard to arrive at just what our group does think of the picture.
Some of the Race critics through newspapers have panned it unmercifully. That is, the critics attacked the choice of the picture while giving full credit to the actors.
The chief offense, or so it seems to our critics, is that the picture of Dixie which they want to forget—which they say is grossly exaggerated, and which they claim is degrading to the Race and to Baptismal traditions. They cite the fact that every time Zeke, the preacher-convert, played by Daniel Haynes, is doing its stuff from his pulpit and seeing Chick, the vamp, played by Nina Mae McKenny, goes saga and leaves his hook to chase the alarmingly hot somewhere. I don't say that such a condition does exist in our churches as a general rule, but goodness knows, the preachers of these preachers do spray off the path of rectitude and righteousness with
great frequency. They are humiliated and as humans react accordingly, they also does, only when they are caught they get it in the neck. This is no new condition, as a peek at the history of the first formal church away from home will illustrate. And there is no use trying to whitewash such conditions, because they have existed, they do exist, and no doubt will exist as long as we do the motivating power in them. So why the hue and cry over the portrayal of such an incident on the screen with our actors as the participants? Hooks by the hundreds have nomena about whites. There have been scores of plays on the subject. Why be alarmed when it happens to us? And then it must be remembered that they are devoted religious in South where education is scant and rules of conduct are less yield, although even "Hallucinogens" attackers must admit that it showed our lapse as devout religious in South.
Our folks who have criticized the picture have also cited the fact that it portrays the lowest type of our Dice. Frankly, I think this is a lot of egostic honey. From the cotton of sunshine have come our thirst men, our finest women. In fact, most of our progenitors have hailed from that section of the country. I am not a numbed of whatever labor my ancestors did down there, or of anything else they were forced to do. I respect them

for doing the best they could under the circumstances, just as I have the utmost respect for those in the South who still live under the conditions of the South. Those who rave over the "gross exaggerations" of the picture and who are city sophisticates, probably haven't done much better than those some cotton picking folks in Tampa, Florida, North, haven't improved so much that any of us can afford to point the finger of scorn at our so-called hambler brothers. As I see it "Hallejah" is a very beautiful beauty is that of a great novel, a splendid piece of Literature. In its way it is a masterpiece, and I give King Vidor, the director, who has left the South, much credit for the restrained tempo and action of R.
Curiously enough, London critics who viewed the film termed it "immature" but alarming, real but dispassionate. The film was a virulent attack upon the principles of Christianity. However, ethical considerations inside, they sing in the same language. It is lovely, is bellishly unequal. They think the singing is glorious, but believe that the English will miss much of the point because there is no mass audience among them. One of the critics dudes if Mr. Vidor is a member of the Ku Klux Klan. Such a one would wonder that. All over this country "Hallelujah!" in South America its reception was highly cordial. And even down in Dixie where they first indignantly poured, to even view the film, unkindly, unkindly, genuine, have come trickling our
I say let those who think the film so poor go to see it again and again, and while there study it with a view of seeing its beauty, its sharp drama, and above all its humanness. Let them listen to the singing and re-joke that some one gave us a chance to show the splendor of our voices to the world. Let them watch Nina Mae McKinney and Daniel Haynes, and give thanks that at last Race genius in the world of the theater has come brilliantly to life. And finally, let them look around them with unlased eyes and ascertain for themselves if the alleged wrongs they see in "Hitlelujah" are not, after all, based on life, but toned down a very great deal. Then let them take their swords and attack such actual conditions rather than a screen effort which probably has opened one of the most lucrative avenues of employment to our race, where before it was closed.

Wooding's Band Playing in Italy
ROME, Italy, Feb. 21. - Sum Woodings' band is now playing at the Theatre Appaloosa, and according to disclosures, they are playing in Italy for five or six weeks, having signed a lucrative contract to play two concerts in this city. The group hopes to return to New York in 2015 and Europe in June with a revue company which is booked to open in Charleston, France. Mail will reach the American members of the aggregation through the American Express, Rome, Italy.

It is my earnest here—Theatrical Editor. It is my earnestest desire since this column is in my charge to mention the artists and musicians with particular to note.
Jazz in Artistic Form
A few years ago the New York Symphony society presented a piano concert by George Gershwin, with the composer at the piano, the work of the composer of a well known symphony conductor, and coming as a direct encouragement for a more ambitious attempt to employ jazz in the legal arena in a way there was much to justify such encouragement as far as Mr. Gershwin was concerned, particularly when considering the success of his own work. He played with such startling results by Paul Whitman's orchestra. In Europe this number became speedy known to all his piano composers, the music being tributing to art, investigates carefully, dissects, analyzes, goes to the root of things, whether it be folk music, symphony development, jazz, and music jazzically.
The strength of the jazz band lies in the novelty of its technique in every direction. Since the first jazz band was formed, the jazz band gone forward considerably. The Colored jazz bands have found a form of artistic expression, which is well known symphonic organizations, and heading jazz bands have attained such perfection in their performances that they are worthy to share the fame of well known symphonic organizations. The development of jazz, some authorities are of the opinion that it is slower in view of the character of the jazz band than in view of the comprises only dance music, but which follows the same curve which our contemporary harmonization has taken. The chord sequences of the jazz band have gone considerable. In his admirable "Kitten on the Keys," has used the pure major and minor chord simultaneously, and George Gershwin has gone considerate. This is not content with the idea of writing instrumental chamber music, which would be designed for the normal instruments of the typical jazz band, but is to leap at one bound into the domain of symphonic music and utilize the long established and fundamental instruments, form and artistic development for a phase of music which, at best, has no possible relationship with music, which up to a certain age ago had been used for such a purpose.
As known to everyone by this time, Mr. Gershwin's concert is made up in the main of rhythms and tunes that he has performed, and way the first movement is based upon a 'charleston' motive introduced by bassons, horns, clarinets and strings, and around theme is announced by the piano.
It is to be credited to Mr. Damrosch's broadness of mind and up-todatness that he encouraged the productions he has taken such a keen interest in the artistic presentation. In his opinion, jazz has danced her way around the world, even as far as the Eskimos and the Inuit, and of the South Sea isles, she has encountered no knight who would lift her to a level that would enable her to live in musical circles. George Gershwin seems to have at last accomplished this miracle. He has done it boldly, dressing this extremely imminent caribou garb of a concerto. He is the prince who has taken Chderdela by the hand and openly proclaimed her a princess to the astonished world—no longer to the fury of her novious sisters.
Mr. Gershwin must be admired for his courage and unquestionable intelligence, but he met it successfully more than half way and his future efforts in behalf of high ideas in connection with jazz forward to with increased interest.

The South Side's most beautiful theater for two solid years, Mr. Peyton's personal experience in playing for acts, coupled with his versatile punch of musicians, gives him the most fun and best band on the R. and K. George. President George Smith of Local 208, the board of directors and trial board are to be complimented for their wonderful work in putting Loch 208 on the map. More power to you, George.

AdviceTo The Wise Otherwise
by
Princess Mysteria
DEAR Princess: I have read your advice to others and I think you are wonderful, and I know you can help me. I am a girl 23 years of age and married to a man 11 years my senior. He is a splendid character, as near perfect as I have seen, that is morally, and a very good husband. I guess the trouble lies in me. I am tired of married life. I think that is it. Although I know I will marry again, because I like the attention of men, and always had a number of admirers and seemed to live for just that. My husband has told me he would give me my divorce any time if I tell him I had found some one I liked better than him, but I haven't the nerve to hurt him and then, too, I haven't found anyone I like. But I would like to go out with a younger man, to a show or dinner, sometimes. It's only an infatuation of fire of them. When I do these things my conscience hurts me and I want to tell him, so I won't feel like a cheat, but I know he would do somethingolen, therefore I don't have the opportunity of telling him, or stay and try to do better. He has no near relatives and he often tries and says he would find me. On the other hand, I hate to ask for a divorce yet I hate to have him find me cheating. We have been married six years, and have no children. Maybe I have been better if we had illness.
The most miserable situation in all the world is to live with some one whom you do not love and consequently do not want, but for one of dozens of reasons there is an inability to make a change. There is no home founded on perfect harmony, but most of them are bearable. If no should be based on the married life should be based on the same system together or difference in ages, but wholly and solely on being satisfied with each other. Whenever there springs a dissatisfaction, in my opinion, there should be an understanding and then if one is satisfied to live on, under some certain agreements, so well and good; if not, a separation is the only thing. There can be no success and little support for them here, but grown up a seed of discontent, your husband, good or bad, would not like to have you "cheating" on him. It would not be fair, as you say he is a good moral man. In your case, I feel that you married before you were ready and had not had your thing at life. It is splendid of your husband as to offer you your freedom. It seems that you do not accept it simply because you must be support and take your home off, dear one may leave and regret it, have heard

Nina Mae Not So "Good" in Stage Revue
NEW YORK, Feb. 21—Although local folks are still loyal in asserting that Nina McKinney, who is appearing at the Lafayette here in a musical revue, is of great interest not such a success as a musical star before the real footlight.
There is this to say in Miss McKinney's defense, that she has sus- tured that she will not be the one and it is this which is said to cause the hoarseness in her singing. It is said that she will have the offending organs removed very soon.
McKinney gave very creditable performance in spite of the fact that she was improperly cast in Pinkard's revue, and was suffering from trouble. As an extra attraction she would have been a hit. It was a Quartet of singing maids from "Porgy," under direction of Georgetta Harvey, did some very clever work, which was well received at all shows. Her performance "did" some of the nittiest booing soon in these parts recently. Dorothy Emory, soubriette, sang well throughout the show, and "Slim" Thompson and "Gang" Jines pulled some sweet

Belton's Band Triumphs in Music Battle
Belton's Band Triumphs in Music Battle
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.. Feb. 21.—The much heralded "musical battle" between Belton's Society Syncopators and Smiling Billy Steward's Celery City Serenaders is said to have ended with the Belton band some 11 points to the good.
During the "battle" Steward's gang changed from white jants and black swaters to blue shirts and hickory-striped pants, but even this change of "security" is said not to have been upset. Set the rhythm of the Florida boys.
An audience of 600 heard the two bands, and applauded the solo trumpet work of Leuven woods especially for various members of both bands.
Of course, since Belton's aggregation is a "home town" band, Mr. Steward is said not to have had to work with each member. Everybody had a good time, and heard some of the hottest music played around these parts in a long time.
K. C. Editor Denied Radio Station O. K.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—The federal radio commission has denied the application of br. station station through his newspaper, the Kansas City American, of Kansas City, Mo.

that we can learn anything. Maybe you can learn to love him.
**DEAR Princess:** I have been secretly married to a man for three years, and I have been working ever since. He makes $160 a month and I make only about one-third of that. I use all of my money for the clothes, my car, and several sisters and brothers, I haven't a decent hat nor dress, and sometimes want for things to cut. I almost say my own money is better than his. He people live better than I do, for they don't know how their living comes. Princess, don't you think his folks should go to college? He says I am heartless and not considerate. I think he should do more for me and let them root for themselves. Sometimes he gives me $5 and sometimes not, case tell me to Mabel.
I have never approved of secret marriages. There are exceptions, of course, but they are few. If two people have a bad break to start with, it may to carry there does not need to be a secret one. It is giving the union a bad break to start with. There is always a chance to show that intangible connection, and it is being in. In your case, it seems almost impossible to have gone over three years and still not have made it public. I consure you for all of it. You can see and know it, and you know it. He is helping you for convenience and nothing more. I advise you to tell everyone that you are his wife and how long you have been living on an obligation which he cannot get away from. I am sure he cannot do any wrong by supporting his mother, but as for his other relatives, they are able to support them. He is made in your name and later on if your husband proves worthy, then make it a joint affair. Talk it over with him before you do, and see if it works. If it works, he will know he does not mean you any good at all, and go for yourself.

30 years of age and have a good job.

Roy Williams Will Box Sekyra Monday
Roy Williams Will Box Sekyra Monday
DAYTON, Ohio, Feb. 19. — Tiger Roy Williams of Chicago will meet tough Joe Sekyra here Monday night, Williams, since his two sensational wins over Palmer, has become a local favorite and will probably rule the court. He will be outweighed some though, the fushy Chicago muller more than makes up for that in his fast punching and clever boxing ability. Sekyra will be to be hit him to the punch, and judging by Roy's last appearance here, that will be quite an assignment. Whether or not Sekyra's kayo at the hands of Larry Johnson has slowed him is a question. He lost a game last week which would indicate he still is among them.

A. & T. Conquers Lincoln U and St. Paul Cage Crews
GREENSHORO, N. C. Feb. 15.—The reorganized Aggie Bulldozers beat the fast St. Paul quintet, 18 to 14, on Thursday night. At the end of the first half the Aggies had only a one-point lead, 11 to 10.
The line-ups: A. & T.—Streater, f.; Congers, f.; Washington, c.; Captain Jewell, g.; and Tucker, g. St. Paul—Haskett, f.; Bydr, f.; McNair, c.; Hughes, g., and Alston, g. The Aggies won their second game of the week from Lincoln, 19 to 18. The score at the end of the first half was 9 to 9. The remainder of the game was a see-saw, and when the score was 12, the team were deadlocked with a 17-point tie, so an extra period was required. Here Lincoln took the lead, but the two field goals by Washington for the Aggies won the game. Streater tackled for the Bulldozers and Spider and Jackson for the visitors starred.
GLOVES FLY AS SOUTH SIDE TRYOUTS OPEN
Fast Bouts in Golden Mitts Tourney
The South side section of the third annual Chicago Tribune's Golden Gloves amateur boxing tournament opened Monday night at White City before over 3,000 fans, and continued Tuesday. Thirty-two boys were picked to represent the South side sections in the semifinals and finals at the Coliseum on Feb. 25, 26, 27 and 28.
On the first three of these nights two rings will be in action at the two time, on the deciding night white wings of the winners of other places will be decided, one ring will be used. The members of the Chicago team will meet the winners of the New York News Golden Gloves tournament at the Chicago Stadium March 17.
On the team that will represent the South side section are Charles Patrick, 115 pounds; Chauncey Crain, 114 pounds; Carson, 147, and Mengoat, 17.
In Monday night's fight there was boxing, knockouts, humor and pathos. In the morning it was 1 o'clock Tuesday morning before the last boys climbed out of the ring. Due to the large crowd it was the run off of Monday and 32 Tuesday. The boys of our group as a whole acquitted themselves very well with the possible exception of three. The other boys of our group as skin fighters is they go into the ring fighting strictly a defensive style and let the other fellow become the aggressor. In the afternoon the white boy piles up points on aggressiveness.
**Washington Beaten**
Johnny Wilburn Crain, Lawnmate and on Monday night's activities against the white boy although Johnny isn't going to weather the going when it gets tough, he knocked out the white lad at the first round. They weighed 145.
The next bout of interest to DeGender readers was bout number 5, a fight against one Charles Pike, the wrestler had was a quick thinker. Taylor had the best of the going when he begged to go a most punishing sock to Taylor, grabbed his cup, and much to the surprise of those at the ringside the referee, without examining either the sock or the pushel Taylor to one side and rushing to Wallace Washington, 125-pounder, was pitted against a tall, lanky blond hat named Joe Varsich. All Joe had been standing on the stand of and box Wallace, but didn't do that, so Washington kept breaking through his guard and his diminutive seize. Wallace credit for a technical knockout. Joe couldn't weather the storm and went down and up only to go down and out. Wallace getting a technical knockout. That was bout number 12.
Wille Walcutt, the first traveling bishop who, for several years has fought Chicago, left his ring generalship at home, and, of course, he couldn't win with it there. Willie just couldn't get aging, and kept hitting with an arm that was like a punching, Joseph Belching of Henifis's decision. The two boys were in the 135-pound class. **Carson Shows Class** McCormick, A.C., C. Chicago Heights, easily acquired Herrman Bergan of St. Litts in the 147-pound class. Carson wore a pair of bright orange silk skirts, which was a contrast to the color of his dark blue shirt. Just what held Mr. Bergan up was not found out. Carson won in three rounds, and very decisively at that.
In boat number 13 Jimmy Keller was given a piece against Mike Foulson, and Mike although not deserving the decision, was given it when Keller slowed up in round three. The 3,000 fans, 94 in each boat, an awful blow. Sammy Ford was the third man in the ring and his preening was way below par. Foulson was allowed to uppercase coming out of the boat, and he had to break clean and had no protection. The hours were at 175 pounds. We laid our pencils down and we used some white boys wallop geese other than us, we us a rest from scribbling notes.
At it again. This time it was bolt number 28, and if we could have found a hole in the floor we would have found a quitter and one Horace Lewis in the 185-pound class folded up to Charles Patrick. That is, he put up no defense, and when Charles, who was a bolt, was knocked down, C and whose name is just the reverse of his nationality, let go a couple of rights. Horace went down on one knee for a breath of fresh air and then bolted down—dismilitated. It was the only bolt Monday evening when two Coloured boys bobbed up against each other. Bolt 11, Thomas Taylor of Barry's gym, was knocked out in round one by a hard right flush on the jaw from Fred Caserio of Nesmco A. C. The white boy's experience was too much for the first bolt in the 185-pound class.
John Jones, 100 pounds, of Jones A. *J*, knocked out Marty Mankinkins, 85 pounds, of Jones has a powerful build, and the blow that sent Marty down while the birds tweet-tweeted, would have knocked out the late Iger Kahn, 120 pounds, of Jones in his 320 scrap of the evening. We beat it for some hot dogs, one of which had never seen the hot water, and soda pop, which he had. **Mendosa Scores K. O.**
Joe Mendosa, brown, with a Mexican name, but who uses hair straightener, built like a modern Hermes curly hair gym, sent Bruno Nicholas down for the count of 10 in round one. Nick wasn't able to sit on the stool he was so far out among the stars and the crowd, so he a sousing of cold water. One hundred and sixty pounds they weighed. "Twats the 55th set-to 10 of the evening's Harry Collins Jr. was knocked out by John Long Hammond, Ind. in the very first round of their bout (Continued on Page 9)

TAMERS WIN 23D BUT LOSE TO INSTITUTE
Protest Officiating in W. Va. Game
CINCINNATI, Ohio, Feb. 12.
—Before a large crowd at their home court, the Lion Tamers basketball team humbled the Louisville Y Big Five, 32 to 22.
The Institute, V. Va., college five games back by the big score of 44 to 14.
At the start of the game the Tamers sound showed the effects of a beavering at least two games a week in wildly separated parts of the blood when Wheedoe Fisk university forward, shot one from the center field, Solgwick got one from the corner.
The Tamers were closely funded by the Louisville live all the way and the half ended 15 to 6, with the home live on the long end.
Last last, the life of the game was a bit slower than the first and Louisville kept sending in replacements. In this half of the game Whedow had better success in loating the basket, making three one-handed胜绩. In the second three, one-handed, it rained out of the Tamers, who seemed a pymny among the giants of Louisville, managed to make three baskets. Current in this half was starring for the visitors, earning six points for his first win.
The game ended during a rally play by the visitors and Wolsten Holmes, referee, announced the Tamers were the winner by a score of 22. This makes 23 games won by the Tamers but 22 players won by the Tamers lost the first game of the season to the Institute, W. Va., college live last Saturday night. The Tamers had the lead at the start but personal fouls called on their men tramped their style. The Tamers has protested the offficial. The half ended 15 to 14, with the Tamers behind.
In the last half of the game the Tamers contacted themselves with either shooting at the basket the balling has held or passing the ball among themselves, and they lost by a score of 44 to 14.
On Monday they beat the Portsmouth, Ohio, Big Five by a score of 66 to 36.
McTier and Anderson are both out of the game, but the doctor holds out the hope that they will be back this coming week.

Ark. Baptist Five Conquers Smith
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Feb. 12.—The Arkansas Baptist Buffaloes blasted their way to their second successive victory over Philander Smith Panthers last night at Taborian temple, with a 28-23 count. This victory gave the Baptist tossers the championship of the state.
The game started with Smith leading. McDaniel on a sharp pass from center scored the first point for the Baptist team. The half ended 12 to 6 in Philander's favor.
Captain Smith's snappy floor work placed the Buffaloes in the lead, 15 to 18, at the third quarter.
"Big Pill" Rutherford and "Ham" Callahan guards displayed good defensive work. McDaniel, a fast little forward, made himself high-point man, and Smith was never dangerous in the fourth quarter.
The line-up: Baptist McDaniel, r.f.; Smith, L.F.; Williams, c.; Callahan, r.g.; Rutherford, L.g. Smith, Swirldan, r.f.; Oavis, L.f.; Taylor c.; Gillion, r.g.; Thompson, L.g.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 15.—In a game replete with thrills, a "Dick Mierrwell" shot by Capt. "Lanky" Jones while the whistle was blowing earned a 39 to 38 verdict for the five-time collegiate champions of Morgan over the Alerts (white) of this city in a battle for the city championship.
It took a dazzling rally in the last five minutes of play to win for the Mets' bases. The game was hard fought throughout and marred by considerable roughness. The Bears drew first in the first inning, dererder the basket. Then Steen, around whom the Schroffers offenses seemed to revolve, put his team in the game down, and the Mets' dissonance overcame the lead and battled on even terms with their comments up to half time, which was
Morgan opened up the second half with a two-pointer, but this respite was short-lived, for the white boys managed to stay ahead by four points up to the last five minutes of play. In the closing minutes of the set-to the collegiate champs uncorked a spectacular offensive that brought them victory. "Lanky" Jones shot the winning basket from beyond the half way mark, a shot hardly ever seen and seldom read about.
Captain Jones led the back in total points, amusing a total of 17, while close behind was Richy of Alerts with 13 points. The college captain, ably assisted by Casey Jones and Wheatly, were the outstanding performers of the Bears, while "Lefty" Stern and Richy showed best for the invaders.

TENNESSEE is holding the spotlight in Dicke as the court pastime and Knoxville are heading the peek in wins and losses, and those are the determining factors as you build your team. The other day, the muzzie the other day and since that time the other conference quintets have been playing. Whisbee, Yost and Cox have turned in some blazing basketball of late. The blue and gold broke out in the third and fourth and won three out of four in a hurry. The only reverse was at the hands of the Knoxville team, even in every league of games attempted this year. Fisk is really in her stride and Knoxville will win and then they meet Tubby's boys again.
THE other Tennessee team which is creating a stir down here is Knoxville, where no team without a defeat among the conference fellow men, but found things quite different up in Ohio and Iowa. The team has not played as well as As this thing looks now. Fisk is headed to the championship. Knoxville has not played as well as As this thing looks now. Fisk has the balance of teamwork and co-ordination of any team. They have their centration of attack and passing game that should carry them far on the road toward the high honors.

8th Regiment Tossers Seek State Title
After playing as runners-up in two out of three starts at the beginning of the season against some of the toughest fives in the army basketball racket, the Eighth Regiment big five, led by its versatile captain and center, Roscoe Burton, ripped out of its second-place habits and began to go places and do things all in a real big way. The Eighth toppled 18 consecutive games, best white basketball aggregations in Utele Sam's service. The regiment five draws its opponents from all of the Illinois and is now well on its way to a state championship. The boys from Dickerson Dickerson's regiment have been pointing all wrong when they open up on the crack Belvedere five on the regiment's home floor at armory, 53th St. and Summit.
The invaders will be led by Daryn Row Smith, a sticky guard, who can move the team with Smith cover Burton, the regiment's star tosser, who has been an unannoyable host of tossing in a shot at him, and just happened to him and then walking back for the next tip-off. Backing up their captain with an unannoyable tosser will Wiltshire and Manning at forward, Wright and Gibbs at guard. These men are the regulars, who, according to the guard, will be at the ward off a possible early scoring spree by the Helvédore quintet.

FISK BULLDOG AGAIN NIPS LOUISVILLE Y
Nashville Cagers Win 6th Straight Game
NASHVILLE, Feb. 15.—The Fisk university Bulldogs brought their winning streak up to six straight by defeating their old Louisville Y. M. C. A. rivals for the second time in as many weeks. The game resulted in a close score of 17 to 15.
The Fiskites had a struggle to to hold a point lead that was theirs after the first five minutes of play. This lead, however, was frequently threatened by formerly of kisk, now with the Bulldogs, shooting and general floor ability made him the star of the affair. He performed in mobile defensive style and was a great fighter with the Y offense. I pointed him more than any other player.

Cole scored in the first minute, giving Avant's shot, and exchanged gauze with the opposing team but the passing technique speedly pulled the Bulls ahead.
Half of it was a volatilizing affair, Gates securing a lead for Hampton only to have Avant die the score, 15 to 13, in the first five minutes of the game, only to have Avant dissipate it again Alexander, with ten minutes ahead, tied again, and Lanky Coles placed a difficult shot, putting the Seaders

Roberts, Jackson Speak as Guests of Hamilton Club
.

A significant step in the growing recognition of leaders of our group is the identification and civic circles was taken Saturday, Feb. 8, when the nationally recognized Chicago shattered all precedent to invite Dr. Carl Roberts and Alexander L. Jackson, two of Chicago's most prominent leaders, to present a forum session, presided over by Chairman Alexander Fyte, upon "The Remainder of the Expo in America." The members of the great Hamilton club, which possess a total of 100 members, attended attention and greeted the speakers with an ode that was a tribute to the impression they had created.
Two speakers from the Hamilton Club, Mr. Fyte and Royal Allen, were invited to the reception to discuss comments upon the addresses. Dr. Roberts spoke as follows: Our culture is unique in that we consider subjects in question which considers thought should be given. Voluminous literature and numerous articles on subject outlines continuing more "heat" than light. It is one conversation that generatesferences of opinion, but the editor of intelligence represented here today is already ready to consider additional topics for judgment and decision.
"A few years ago the Young People's Christian Mission, like a hold a debate. The subject was, "Got involved. It is better to be born blind than black." Whining majority. Among the members of the church was a Pro-President of the vultant church that devoted their lives to teaching Negroes in the South. Shooked by the threat of a meeting for a few of us to speak in that church and demonstrate, if possible, that the nature of the worse than that of one who is blind. This is just one illustration of the misunderstanding and intense feeling
"Any conjecture as to the future must necessarily be influenced in a large measure by the history of the past. The will not permit any motion, than a brief reference to this, month-to-month period is now tonized in the month-book the Negro quietly and somewhat involuntarily planted his feet on Virginia soil. The such was fertile and the planting productive, so by 1730 his numbers were an order increased by 772,700 in emancipation and 17,000 in the death they had been used to 4,000 and today there are approximately 12,000, and especially assigned to us with an additional 2,000, that probably belong to us. "Constituting about one-tenth of the entire population the reduction in capital is the same and the changing status of the many perplexing and delicate problems. Not only has there been an evolution as to conditions, but also as to type. There is evolving in America today a type that is as different from the African as he is from the American. This is true both as to psychological reaction and physical configuration. In other words there is evolving in this country a group typically American in habit, though and ideals, which happens to be distinct by reason of color and skills. This group is the medical and Negro and the future is the question that enclosures our attention today.
"There are two dimetrically composed schools of thought and opinion, the one the more democratic and the sake of discussion, may be termed the automatic or ultra conservative; the other the liberal or democratic and the sake of course. The automatic school is apparent in the impulses and motivations in its suspectors. The more radical of these openly state that the criminal or a beast of burden, in fact, is immensely incapable and immensely incompetent. In view of all of this they must be as great, condemned forever to be a hewer of wood and drawer of water." The additional support is needed to bolster up their opinion against the assaults of other reason, fundamentals which will remain the cause of Nach against Ham. Those who are not so certain of the truth of the case will glance over the stock supply of scientific shells and select for immunization the old and established stock of the fifth year, preventing further growth of the brain, with consequent incapacity for future intellectual development.
"Not all of the adherents of the doctrine of theocracy such as the Mexican government have an extreme however. There are many who are more moderate in their views, who desire to be recognized with the main types of absolute racial separation. They adhere to some similar policy which shall permit Negro development so long as the danger of convergence is associated with contract. Proponents of this policy have a certain belief that one which one may see and admire the civilization of the other, but in no instance must be trusted. Negroism processes a future for the Negro of absolute isolation and segregation, homes, transportation, recreation, business and labor. In other words a complete, opposite, culture and society.
The proposed that the Nepe shand develop his own economic and cultural civilization, separate and apart from that of the dominant group surrounding him, implies a delicate capinlune strongly inconscient with the views of its sponsors as to his potential ability. First stamping him mentally inferior physically different and heavily innumerable, he is then noted to do something that no other people in history have successfully accrued. Any fadized superior, seconacted from their surrounded by a highly developed, increasingly organized civilization expected to develop its own economic and social systems without contact with or use of the culture forming its immediate envisions, must indeed be composed of supermen to succeed. Of course this scheme does not add to the burden he also excepting a political system hercense the Nepe would have no occasion to use the hell, the franchise being over on the whole side of the wall.

"The question may be asked: 'Why is it necessary among civilized men, many of whom are poor, to whom only a tiny Christianista, to propose a policy so contrary to the principles of equity and social equality, to board the familiar counter thrusts:'
(1) "Do you want to endanger Anglo-Saxon supremacy?"
(2) "encourage social equality and amalgamation with consequent deterioration of the white race, destruction of civilization, alienation of society."
"These are the silencers that are frequently used to deflect any aerial threats to play. The candle recognition and frank discussion of these statements are essential as a preliminary to a discussion of the basis of their leadership based upon mutual interest and weaken."
(3) "Definition of 'political domination' is liberals shattered in a few sentences: 'The Negro cemetery and the political control of this country, but he cherishes the franchise and in less upon it as vitally essential to the political control of this country, to this is a democratic country."
"Social equality," he described as a "matter of great importance," frightened away any disposition to be fair and tolerant.
