PRIME SPORT NEWS By Allen Harrison Dorsey St. Louis Makes Good Chicago, Ill.—A certified check for several thousand dollars was re- ceived here, last week, by Rube Foster, president of our National baseball league, from the St. Louis Giants Baseball and Amusement Co., who hold the franchise in that city. At the recent league meeting the "riot act" was read to the owners of the team there, owing to their failure to live up to their obliga- tions, and they were given ten days to make good or have the franchise taken from them. Atty. Homer G. Phillips represented the St. Louis- ans and carried the league ultima- tum back to the owners and they made good in a hurry. hands full, basket in the first ha The second of snappy p sawing back minute of out by two mid-court.

Tribune says, "Having carefully sorted out the last two weeks' mail, appertaining to the heavyweight situation, we are confronted with the 50-50 aspect of these two lines of thought. Dempsey should meet Wills in his next fight, as Wills is only half way logical contender left. —2. Dempsey will compete Wills for several reasons. One is that attempting to arrange any such bout might blot out boxing. The other is that Johnson, as champion, came near wrecking the game. The pro and con, with the accent mainly on the con, seems to be heaping back and forth over the Dempsey-Wills dobate. The oratory among fight fans has grown volatile in spots, but in the case of Dempsey it seems to be a matter of Wills or vaudeville, barring such time as he may take off to shadow box with himself." Tokalons Lose Close Game In one of the most exciting basket games ever played here, the Springfield "Y" five copped a close game, at Eagle's hall, Monday night, score 24 to 22. The Tokalons machine was in smooth running order and although quite out-welghed the local youngsters put up their usual hard battle. From the sounding of the whistle it was apparent the down-state boys would have their ATTENTION, FARMERS AND OTHERS! Mid-winter days give many opportunities for reading not afforded by warmer weather. Senator-Frank E.

These bulletins, which are of a very high grade, contain much information of interest and value. 1.000 in Ku Klux Paradc 1,000 in Ku Klux Parade OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla.—More than a thousand Ku Klux paraded here, Sunday night, in automobiles, on horseback and afoot. The Klux parade was led by a troop of trumpeters on horseback, one of whom carried an American flag and one a klan banner. They were followed by the fiery cross borne by a knight on horseback. Dozens of banners were carried by the marching members of the klan. Rev. Byron Gunner Dead. Hillburn, N. Y.—Lincoln Day, the body of the late Rev. Byron Gunner, wails held to rest in the local cemetery. Services were held in the hands full, when the "Toks" shot a basket in one minute of play and the first half ended even at ten gil. The second half was an exhibition of snappy passing and shooting, seesawing back and forth, and within a minute of the end the Y boys won out by two wonderful throws from mid-court, by Capt. Norris and Heath. "Bud" Mitchell again played a great game for the Tokalons, scoring 20 of their points, ably asisted by Dixon. The Acmes had a red-hot contest with the Scholastics and were lucky to get away in front, winning 23 to 21. "Doc" Ramsay and Reed did the best work for the winners with Rose and McCreary featuring for the losers. The "Avenoo" has been full of baseball talk since the Tates want into higher society, joining our National baseball league. Rumors galore have floated around, but the one we got the best "laf" out of was the talk of a trade of "Slim" Branham, pitching ace of the locals, for Mackey, the catcher and all around fielder of the Indianapolis club. We are not discounting Mack's great ability to swat the horsehide and field superply but the Cleveland owners have never had such a deal in mind. Of course the Tates appear well fortified in pitchers with "Sam" Cannady, Geo. Britt, W. Johnston, "Bo" Leonard, L. Keeton, Boggs and Chatman, but Pres. Tate and Manager Taylor are wise enough to know that all may not "produce the goods" and the Indians would have to give up several Mackeys before they would even think of letting their "ace" get away. Another "funny one" was talk of letting Claude Johnson go for "Dummy" Day and a pitcher of the A. B. C's. The local second baseman won the hearts of the Cleveland fans and management by his wonderful work at bat and a field last season, and you can take it "straight" that he will be seen driving in many winning runs for the locals this season. Nothing to this talk of trades at all. Presbyterian Mission church of which he was for 10 years pastor. He died at Reading, Penn., where he was pastor of a Presbyterian church, after a brief illness.

AKRON, O.—"Although much popular opinion is to the contrary, Abraham Lincoln started and carried through the Civil War for the preservation of the Union and not primarily for the liberation of the slaves. The slave issue was secondary." Congressman Simeon D. Fess of Yellow Springs, told a mass meeting of men at the Y. M. C. A. Monday afternoon. "The great utterances upon the subject of the war, both the inaugural speech and his letter to the New York Tribune, indicate most clearly that Lincoln's aim was to save the Union and preserve the constitution with or without slavery."

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Black Frenchmen Wise in Their Improved Condition What France is Doing to Gain and Retain the Loyalty of Its African Subjects, Citizens: ADDITIONAL LOCALS Brooklyn, N. Y. — I am turning from books to a magazine article that seems to me of especial significance. Mr. Norman Angell is a well known English writer, who has broad views on international questions. He attended some of the sessions of the Pan African Congress both in London and in Paris. This article is of great importance because it shows us clearly what those who attended the Congress observed—that the French Negro is first a Frenchman and second a Negro. I quote Mr. Angell: "The English speaking group (at the congress) habitually spoke of themselves as 'we Negroes,' while those from French territory spoke of themselves as 'we Franchmen." This, as Mr. Angell goes on to explain, comes from the fact that France draws no color line. The Negro members of the Chamber of Deputies, for instance, or of the legal profession, have not only no official difficulties, they have no social difficulties, in their relationship with their white colleagues. "They dine in the homes of members of the cabinet, plead for white clients in the courts, and it would never even occur to their French colleagues to treat them with any sort of social exclusion." France has managed to make these men and countless other Africans feel that they are all African in spirit and feeling as well as in law. Mr. Angell finds something fine about this "from the merely moral or sentimental aspect," but he wants us to consider it politically. And what does it mean politically? To Mr. Angell it means this: That hereafter the success of France means Negro success, and that the French Negroes, wiser than the visionaries who talk of a consolidarity of the black race, have France to fight their battles for better treatment the world over. The French Negro leader thought, as Mr. Angell conceives it from the meetings of the congress but still more from private conversation, is something like this: "There is a great instrument of power which can be used for the defense of Negro interest and right within our reach if we play our cards properly. That instrument is the political and military power of France." We possess Mrs. Alberta Pulley, E. 103d St. entertained St. John's choir, Tuesday evening, Mrs. Pulley, of Keyes Ave., has been very ill. Mrs. Esther Spencer entertained the Present Day club at its last meeting. Next one at Mrs. Edgar Moore's, E. 97th St. Monday, Members are requested to attend prepared for book review; subject, "Main St." led by Miss Mabel Clarke. Mrs. Eugenia Brewer Mayo sang for the American Woodmen in Akron, Monday evening, at the Second Baptist church, and at Antioch Baptist church, this city, last Thursday evening. She had splendid success at both concerts. Mrs. Mayo is the efficient chorister of St. Marks Presbyterian church; Rev. C. L. Jefferson, pastor. Local professional and business men gave a "smoker" in honor of C. M White, supreme commander of the American Woodmen, Denver, Col., at the Caterers' club, Saturday evening. They are bidding hard for the location of the million dollar A. W. building in Cleveland. Mr. White seems greatly impressed with the city and its people. It seems that Schneider's bakery, Su228 Central Ave., has been burglarized, several times within a year, the last time a few weeks ago. One result of these robberies has been to call attention to the fact that "Mr. Schneider has been and still is mighty good to many of our poor people in that 'vicinity,' as one brother, who is in a position to know, "put it" the other day in conversation with a representative of The Gazette, "He (Mr. Schneider) has kept some from starving," he said. Ward 11 Central Body held its first, Monday evening meeting, this week. It was well attended and much important business transacted. Stirring addresses were made by Atty, A. A. Trigg, vice-pres. and Mr. Charles Robinson, a member of the finance committee. A number of committee reports were made and splendid progress on the "Legal Fund" of the Central Body reported. Modest Ross and Kykenhall made an encouraging partial report of the band concert, last week. Next meeting, Monday evening, at S P. M. sharp. All members are urged to attend. LE COPY FIVE CENTS Quest Of France man Angell And te Ovington Their Improved Condition— to Gain and Retain the can Subjects, Citizens: in African conscription the wherewithal to bargain for the placing of French power—and France is the predominant military state in the world—on the side of Negro right. Let us look at a few facts. The French army is already one-third Negro. The birth rate of France is stationary. But the birth rate of the Negro is not stationary. There is one way and only one by which France can maintain a permanent parity of power with her age-long enemy, Germany, and that is with the help of the African Negro. We Negroes, therefore, hold the balance of power in the greatest quarrel in Western civilization. What more could we ask as an instrument for securing our rights in the world? France shall be our spokesman among the white powers. When on the next occasion a colored nation, whether Asiatic or African, demands as a principle, say, of the League of Nations, the recognition, of racial equality, and when some new Mr. Wilson, as the protagonist of democracy, chooses to oppose that principle, then France shall stand upon it. She shall stand upon it because that will be the one condition of her being able to put any reliance upon her largest military raw material. In any vital Negro question, this greatest of the military powers will support us. We must ask a large price for our military support; and that is the greatest political asset of the Negro race today." So Mr. Angell interprets the Negro in France, and the willingness of the great mass of Negroes in the African possessions, who ten years ago did not know the Rhine from the Congo, to accept the leadership, of their black Frenchmen in high office and be conscripted to fight in Europe. This is "The Negro conquest of France," a political conquest that may be of far reaching significance to all of Europe. And yet is that just what Mr. Angell means by the Negro conquest? He has a footnote, one that he intends to be sinister. In it he suggests a racial conquest of France, a mingling of black and white blood. Is this his conquest? You must read it and make your own judgment. At any rate it is a significant article. Mary White Ovington. AL LOCALS Rev. Byron Gunner, of Hillburn, N. Y., who came to Cleveland, many years ago and pastored Mt. Zion Congr. church, churches in Oberlin and Palinesville for a time before going East to locate, was buried at Hillburn on Feb. 12. It will be remembered that when he came to Cleveland he had been "deposed" from the principalship of Howe Institute at Iberia, Miss., and sent out of the little town, by a mob of "crackers" who said he was educating our boys there above theirs (who would not go to school). Rev. Gunner was roughly handled by the mob for hours before it put him on a train and sent him out of Iberia. He was a fine man and spoke in many of the leading pulpits of both races in this vicinity while living in Cleveland. Mrs. Bessie Trigg, formerly of Memphis, has been retained by Mt. Zion Cong. church as social worker and entered upon her duties this week. A committee under the leadership of Meadames Hodges and Gray has developed the community work to an unexpected extent. meeting each Friday at the church to distribute relief in the form of clothing and food. Mrs. Trigg will work in conjunction with this committee. Dr. J. D. Nutting gave an illustrated lecture on "Mormanism." Sunday. A large crowd was out.

It seems to many that DuBois ought to be giving all of his time to riding the Afro-American hobby. He gets his support from them, they are hiring and paying him for his time and effort in their behalf and not to be "gallivanting" over the country astride of his Pan African hobby. DANA'S DENIAL. In our last issue the statement was made that Dana English had said in Ramsey's barber shop, near the corner of Scovill Ave. and E. 30th St., on the Wednesday previous, that "he would kill us" if we did not keep his name out of the paper" (The Gazette). Monday afternoon, Dana called the writer on the 'phone and said he did not utter that threat but that he had said he would "whip" us if we did not keep his name out of the paper, and also asked that the foregoing correction be made, which we herewith make, as requested. Incidentally, Dana also said it might be well for us to go to Ramsey's shop and interview the workers there whom we claimed were in the shop at the time. This we did, Monday evening early, and found that one of four had no remembrance at all of what was said, so he said; two others could not recall just what was said by Dana and the fourth said his remembrance was (he thought) that Dana said he would "beat us up" if we did not keep his name out of the paper. Mr. Peter Ross of this city assures us that English made this same threat in his and others' hearing in recent weeks. It might not be amiss to say at this time that "whipping" or "beating up" people in Cleveland (as in most places in America) is unlawful action and sometimes dangerous, so police officials inform us. It is really amusing to hear the "FitzGerald - Maschke - 'Starlight'-Fleming" Negroes whine and yow who have been "hot-footed" out of city jobs by the new Kohler (local) administration, and nearly all of them have been, we are told. Their efforts to work up a little sympathy for themselves and, incidentally, work up a feeling of resentment among our people against the new mayor because he very properly "put them on the greased ways and skidded them out into the cold, dreary world" to do a little real work for a living (like the rest of us) at much smaller pay, for the first time in several years, are certainly laughable, to say the least. It is also music in the ears of thousands of the good people of Ward 11 who stood on the streets, last October, and heard many of these same "yowlers" spewing out their miserable abuse and contemptable lies in their vain effort to reject Mayor FitzGerald (and Tom). Nor did they spare Candidates Kohler, Hinchliffe and others. All "looked alike/ to them," when it came to "gutter and sewer" campaigning and worse campaign methods, except their beloved candidates, "Fitz" and Tom. Now that they are but getting what they earned, last fall, they are whining "like a pack of whipped spaniels," not because they have lost their jobs, O, NO! but because, they say, "Colored men are not being appointed to all the places they held." How silly! Did our people support Mayor Kohler in any such numbers as to entitle them to all of said places? Was there a Kohler organization or concerted movement of any kind for him among our people in Ward 11 or any other ward in the city of Cleveland, last fall? Has any person even heard of any such thing? City jobs do not belong to our people simply because they are held for a short or long time by members of the race. And yet, there are those who thoughtlessly feel so and it is upon these that the whiners and yowlers are busily working. They even tried to enlist the support of "The Old Reliable" Gazette in their crusade against Mayor Kohler. How foolish! As if we could ever forget their most reprehensible conduct of last October in Ward 11 alone before election, last November, a new of our people "whispered their breath" that they were or Kohler for mayor. Since they many of them say they were out all know that most of that say" is "bunk," pure and simple, and is not fooling anybody, particularly the mayor. Nearly all nigroes in Cleveland, last November 8, voted for FitzGerald, Hinchliffe and Haserodt, and every one of us know this. So where do these "Fitz" Maschke "Starlight"-Fleming Negro xo-holder's the nerve to try to work up a feeling against Mayor Kohler to appease their resentment for the loss of the jobs they have very properly been separated from by him? They "worked their heads off," so to speak, trying to re-elect FitzGerald (and Töm) and lost, and were due to get what they have received—the political hot-foot. THANK THE LORD! Then, too, when one remembers the miserable lies most of them "hawked" up and down Central Ave. all during the campaign, directed mainly at the editor of The Gazette, who represented the peoples' cause in Ward 11, one cannot help but feel that the "yowlers" have not yet received "the half that is coming to them." But mercy, how they WHINE! If they but knew how the people enjoy hearing them, they would "take a tumble." Meanwhile, the good people of Ward 11 smile. It is their turn to do so and has been ever since election day. --- MASCHKE'S LITTLE JOKE! "The policy of the Republican county organization has been to give equitable representation to all peoples, and so long as the organization is under its present leadership, that policy will stand," Maurice Maschke, county Republican chairman, told members of the Attucks Republican club, Tuesday night, at their annual Lincoln Day dinner. Sounds nice, but is it true? Maschke, when campaigning a year ago last fall, promised ward 11 audiences, that assembled in the Central Bathhouse and elsewhere, that our people would have representation in all of the county offices if they "stood by" the Republican ticket being voted for at that time, and it won. They did this and the ticket won. Did they get an assistant county prosecutor (and representation in all of the county offices?) They did not! Even Selmo Glenn (and Wm. R. Green, Dr. Gregg, Major Anderson, Dwight R. Williams and Samuel E. Woods and many others know this). Were they ever able to get an assistant police prosecutor from Maschke when Davis and FitzGerald were mayors? Sometimes there would be two or three Jewish assistants in that office at the same time and still Maschke would not give us the representation we were entitled to. Attys. Roy Cheeks and Selmo Glenn can tell you about this, too. Maschke simply would not give a member of the race a clerkship in the City hall, either. O, we know several of our men claimed such appointments but as a matter of fact they were but messengers or holding positions of even lesser degree. Then the way some of these appointees of color were and are placed—in basements and corners out of sight, behind screens, etc. When Syd. Thompson was nominated as a candidate for the Legislature and when Sam Woods and Wm. R. Green were elected to that August body, a year ago last fall, what happened to them? What would also have happened to Harry E. Davis but for that indignation meeting in Lane Metropolitan church shortly after election day, a year ago last fall? No wonder the attendance at the Attucks dinner, Tuesday evening, was small because that ward 11 contest, last October, opened the eyes of thousands of our people throut the city, and the day of such stuff as Maschke dealt out to the faithful few Tuesday evening, is past just as "Star," (and Tom), FitzGerald, and Maschke, too, for that matter, have passed, politically.

"HAIR BOLSHIE" IS A MISNOMER STUDIES RUSSIAN AFFAIRS Simply a Country Where Law and Order Have Been Adjourned—Russians Equality Bad When It Comes To Looting, Says Educator. MANHATTAN. Kan.—A somewhat different picture of the Russian Bolshevist from that set forth in popular cartoons and literature of the Western world is drawn by Dr. R. K. Nabors, head of the Kansas State Agricultural College, who recently returns to America from a year's trip to territory under Bolshevist rule. Dr. Nabour headed a mission looking toward the establishment of a trade route from Southern Russia to the United States. He was in the employ of a fur company which was interested in obtaining skins of the Kaukul lamb. The Karakul are grown principally in Bokhara, Central Asia, formerly a principality of Russia now under Bolshevist authority. During the war this trade was suspended, but, through the efforts of Dr. Nabour's mission, a trade route has been reorganized and commerce retained between Bokhara and the Western world. Contrary to popular conception, the Bolshevist Dr. Nabour Says, is not bury, shabby and unsanitary. He wears the same kind of clothes the average American city dweller does, and the popular term, "hair Bolshevist," is a misnomer, according to the Kansas scientist. "I was unable to reach the interior of Russia," said Dr. Nabours, "but I saw the typical Bolshevists in Tiflas, capital of Trans-Caucasia. Of those I saw of the soviet adherents none wore beards nor had allowed their hair to grow long. "I was unable to secure a passport to travel in Russia, so had to content myself with standing on the edge and talking to those who had been in. I spent some time in the northwestern part of India, across the border from Bolshevist Russia. For the most part I was able to learn facts about Bolshevist Russia first-hand from army officers, American, British and French observers and traders, and Russian refugees. "Nothing we have read or heard probably overdraws the bad conditions, economically, that exist over there-starvation, ravages of disease and looting. This looting phase has brought about a condition whereby only enough produce is raised to supply the farmer's actual needs. Their farms are likely to be looted at any time, though no more likely by the Polshevists than the anti-Bolshevists. For instance, it is well known that the anti-Bolshevists and Bolshevists get together and assign the towns and territory they should not loot respectively. I do not mean that the procedure is taken under orders from Moscow or from an anti-Bolshevist leader. But this condition exists among individual groups. My point is that they are all, so far as can be ascertained, equally bad. It is simply a country where law and order have been adjourned. BISMARK. NOW QUENTIN. Mrs. Roosevelt, Mother of Quentin, Rosevelt, Mother of Quentin, Presents Silver Loving Cup. QUENTIN, Pa.—Two years ago the town of Bismark, in Lebanon county, Pa. changed its name to Quentin, in honor of Leut. Quentin Roosevelt, who was killed in France. A tablet has just been unveiled there which records this change; it was erected under the auspices of the Sons of America. Mrs. Roosevelt, the mother of Quentin, presented a silver loving cup to the town. The tablet bears this quotation from Theodore Roosevelt: "Only those are fit to live who do not fear to die and none are fit to die who have shrunk from the joy of life and the duty of life. Both life and death are parts of the same great adventure. Never yet was worthy adventure worthily carried through by the man who put his personal safety first." SACRED BULL IMPORTED. Texas Ranch Brings One From India, Valued at $75,000. FORT WORTH, Texas.—A ranch in Texas has come into possession of a "sacred humped bull," which is valued at $75,000. This is the only living sacred bull ever imported from India. He carries the mystic brand given him by a high priest in India, who was cast out when he sold it. In many parts of the world, and particularly in the Orient, animals have been worshipped from a time we cannot reckon. In India the sacred humped cattle are allowed to wander everywhere, at will. If one of them wants to eat up a farmer's corn, he must not interfere with it. Even if it goes into a house it must not be driven out. BIG TOWN GOSSIP. Not Much Different From the Small Town. Trave St. In Its Essentials TOWN STILL in its Essentials. NEW YORK—There is a barber shop in the Times Square district that is the fountain head of gossip of the town. It is patronized by stars, producers and the rich sporting crowd. It is small and exclusive. And the trade of the hol-polio is not counted. It is more like a club where celebrities stretch out in comfortable chairs and relax—and gossip. There is the pungent odor of imported perfumes, mixed with the smell of scented soap and pomade. The manicure girls have their little booths and an inexhaustible supply of snappy chatter. The patrons be men who live hurried existences, all sorts of massage devices are in evidence. I saw one face plastered with a slate gray substance that was being dried by a hot air apparatus. Another was having his face rubbed with ice. Still another was in the grip of a mighty Swede masseur who gave his cheeks resounding smack that brought tears. There was talk of poto, of the latest gambling scandal the latest theatrical opening and the difficulty of getting good champagne. I had been accompanied there by a patron, so I was privileged to have a shave. I heard that Weber & there were to fracture English again in a new George M. Cohen show; that a celebrated actor-playwright was off the reservation again and held in communico at Bellvue; that the man higher up in the gamblers' intrigue was none other than the red-jowled person, who snored away under the soporific of hot towels two chairs removed from mine. Then in whispered tones I heard of a famous actress, who was suffering the tortures of the damned through the brutality of her husband. But she stuck to him through it all. The recital was a dramatic one and played skillfully upon the emotional chords, I was afraid I would sob right out loud until I heard the name of the actress. Then I placed the scalding tear right back in the duct. The actress has had too many husbands to permit any one to annoy her long. There was a generosity about the patrons that was interesting. One man, barbered ahead of the others, saw three friends in chairs, got the amount of their checks, paid them and tipped each barber a dollar bill. So, not to embarrass the barber, I didn't tip him at all. I sneaked out, — O. O. McIntyre. IT'S THE WOMEN AGAIN! Famous Dancer Blames Women, Not Men, For Increasing Stage Nudity. CHICAGO—Who, of all theatre patrons love to see a shape calf, a perfect knee, a trim ankle—to say nothing of a ripplingly curved femine back covered with nothing more beckoning than a scant dash of powder—? All who answered "the men" may go to the foot of the class on the word of Ann Pennington, famous dancer and expert on dimped knees, etc. She's got 'em herself and knows, "No, no." Miss Pennington said in an interview, "It's the women, bless 'em." "Don't blame the men—the poor old baldheads—for the increasing nudity on the stage. The women insist on it. The skinny old maid loves to go to the theatre to see beautiful legs and soft, white arms and wonderful backs. "She sits there and dreams she has them herself and is as happy as a kitten with a pan of cream. "The fat lady dots on seeing a little girl floating around the stage in a yard of chiffon. She sees herself doing the same thing. "I know this because I always get more applause at a matinee than I do at an evening performance." Miss Pennington is amply backed by "Le Sylph, an oriental dancer, who wears, in her own words, "an excuse for a couple of straps." "A man likes a shapely leg—leg not limb, she testified. "But he doesn't care for it for its own sake. He wants to see you do something with it. Pep, that's his dish. "But a woman to be contented must look at a beautiful figure, mostly in the nude and consider her own subconscious." 100 AND NEVER DANGED. Mrs. TuaT Always Wanted To, But Her Parents Objected. WINSTED, Conn.-Mrs. Incy H. Treat, who observed her 100th birthday anniversary in Waterbury, lately, never danced. She admitted she always wanted to, but her parents' religious belief forade it. Speaking of woman suffrage, she said she would never avail herself of it, and added: "I have always thought that it is the men who should go to the polls and have the final say about all things, although the women of to-day do not think so. I cannot quite become accustomed to hearing of women acting as automobile drivers, elevator operators and street car conductors." Women Smokers in New York NEW YORK—The increasing number of women who smoke cigarettes on this narrow island is amazing. It is not confined to debenthales, chorus girls and Fifth ave. models. In a tea room for dinner the other evening came three middle-aged women. From their talk it was plain that they were executive heads of department stores. Two packages of cigarettes lasted them until they reached the coffee—and then they ordered another package. Hen Hatches Alligators. CORPUS CHRISTI. Texas—While on a hunting expedition Dr. W. E. Willis, of this city, found a nest of alligator eggs. He brought six home with him and finding one of his hens in a setting mood he placed her on the eggs and awaited developments. The hen, however, did not tarry long; one alligator came forth into the world and the hen in a mad fright run off. Dr. Willis reports his diagnosis of the hen's condition to be something akin to nervous prostration. WASHINGTON, D. C.—Seven men who have been counterfeiting $5, $10 $20, $50 and $160 bills, have been rested in different parts of the country by secret service men. The biggest hauls were from New York and Detroit. In Chicago, a bather cut his foot on an engraved plate which has been thrown into the lake, and from his clue the detectives traced the counterfeiter. SCIENTISTS GOING TO AMAZON WILDS Will Explore 1,000 Square Miles of Little Known Territory in South America. MAY DISCOVER NEW DRUGS Various Oils Will Be Studied and Zoologists Are to Observe Fish and Reptiles—Map Expert Only White Man to Traverse This Territory. NEW YORK.—A large party of American scientists will soon explore more than 1,000 square miles of almost virgin territory in the great Amazon basin of South America. It was announced at Columbia University recently. The party will be headed by Dr. Henry H. Rusby, Dean of the Columbia School of Pharmacy, who has been in many South American expeditions since 1885, including searches for new drugs throughout sections of the southern and eastern Andes and part of Northern Columbia. Professors and scientists representing many universities will make the trip. Dr. David Starr Jordan, President of Leland Stanford University, and Dr. Carl H. Engleman, Dean of the University of Indiana, will make a study of fish and reptiles. Dr. Edward Kremers of the University of Wisconsin will go as an expert in volatile oils and Prof. Augustus H. Gill of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a specialist on fixed oils from seeds. A study of frogs will be made by Dr. Ruthven of the University of Michigan. Besides these men there will be several zoologists from the American Museum of Natural History. "There remains this 1,000-mile trace along Eastern Ecuador and Peru from which no specimens of any kind have ever been procured." Dr. Rusby said recently. "This section was penetrated by Dr. Hamilton Riee, the map expert, but he did no natural history work. We know from the natives that there are remarkable narcotics in this great unexplored region, and we expect to discover many new and valuable specimens that will be of medicinal use to mankind. "The expedition will be undertaken on a purely scientific basis and will contribute to educational" research. The botanical investigations will aim to give an economic value to all discoveries. Motion pictures will be taken for educational use. "Harvard, John Hopkins, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University and the Columbia School of Pharmacy will co-operate in studying drugs as to their physical, chemical and clinical properties. "We will start at the town of Villavienso, three days' journey by mule southwest of Bogota and situated at the foot of the Andes mountains." Dr Rusby said. "From there we will continue south along the base of the Andes to San Martin Puerta Espina, a ten-day trip. We will go from the head of the Guaviare river to San Jose and across country to Calamar Calamar is the head of canoe navigation of the Uaupeas rives, which has never been traversed by any white man except Dr. Rice. The second half of the journey will begin about July 1 and will take us out on the Pacific coast at the end of 1821." In 1833 Dr. Rusby made a journey from Northern Chile to the mouth of the Amazon collecting medicinal plants. He has also explored the Delta of Orinoco in search of rubber and Southern Columbia for quinine. HOLD MAN, 82, AS "DIP." Has Long Record, Police Say. NEW YORK—Harry Williams, 82, whose fingerprint records, according to the police, show that he has been arrested fifteen times in various large cities since 1898, was arraigned recently before Magistrate Sweetser of the Jefferson Market Court on a charge of disorderly conduct. Detectives Walsh and Kirwin saw Williams Tuesday evening in the Times Square subway station. Another man, William Maher, who it is alleged was in William's company, and who is likewise charged with disorderly conduct, was jostling and pushing a passenger alighting from the train, according to the detectives Williams, it is alleged, tried to pick to stranger's pocket. The men have been held in $1,000 bail for examination. FAKE SUBSTITUTE FUEL. Fooled Chemical Experts of West Point Military Academy. NEW YORK.—A "discovery" whereby motor fuel could be manufactured from corn stalks, cane sugar and yeast, which would take the place of gasoline and revolutionize the fuel industry, turned out to be a fraud. "Professor" P. J. Chasler, of Brooklyn, N. Y., demonstrated his "discovery" before chemical experts of West Point military academy, who announced the experiment a success—but they did not know there was a pipe running to the fuel tank from two barres on the other side of a fence whence trickled our well-known friend alcohol. The 200 "easy marks" to whom he sold "stock" in the "Fermogas Co." caused the man's arrest. THE EASIEST PART 1ST Golfer: Are you picking up golf quickly? 2nd Golfer: Oh my yes!

HILL COMPANY, DETROIT (321) My ear is pained My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which the earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart.

M, B, church have signed and had published, un- doubtedly at the request of the pas- tor, L. H, Brown, are not borne out by the facts, according to some of the oldest and best members and ex-members of that church. They inform The Gazette and insist that 4 large number of members of Lane! Metropolitan C, M.

Africa.— Poking fun at the battle the Afro- American is making for racial equal- ity, the Liberian News, published here. says the situation is reversed in West Africa. Says the News: “We are pleased to say for gen- eral information that‘we are neither Garveyites nor Duboisites, and we are not members of the U.N. I. A.. nor the N. A. A. C. P., but we are true Liberians, and we do not con- tend for social equality, for it is a thing that is altogether foreign to us in this country, for we are at the tormost rung of the ladder. Who- ever comes to this country, whether they be British, French or American. must contend for social equality with us; but In our opinion it is not social equality that the Afro-Ameri- can really wants: no, we think he wants social justice and equal op- portunity.” freeo tm wis pase Ay Fisher WIFE’S GOOD AIM.
