Atlanta, Ga.—The Southern Life Insurance Company of Nashville, Tennessee, and the Standard Life of Atlanta, were merged here, Jan. 15. By the terms of agreement the Southern will exchange four shares, valued at 5.50 for each share of the Standard. The Southern also agreed to take up the obligations of The Service Company. It was brought out in the meeting that the Standard Life Company, Heman E. Perry, president, was greatly impaired, estimates running from three to four hundred thousand dollars. Jno. R. Pinkett, director of agencies, and David D. Jones, secretary, resigned. Bishop R. E. Jones also resigned from the Board of Directors. Pinkett and Jones are St. Louisians. Jones was former secretary of Pine St. Y. M. C. A., while Pinkett was a teacher in Sumner High school. It will be remembered that the trouble and financial difficulties or the Standard were first brought to light following the alleged purchase of the Mississippi Life by the Standard a little more than a year ago. It was said at that time that the Standard's finances were impaired to the extent that it was forced to resell the Mississippi Life to the Southern Life, the white company which now has charge of the Standard's affairs. Great hope was entertained by the stockholders as well as our people generally when a short time ago it was stated that Eastern capitalists, headed by Julius Rosenwald of Chicago, had arranged to finance the Standard out of its difficulties, but for some mysterious reason, at the last moment, this assistance was refused. This, it is said, badly affected the morale of those struggling against great odds, and as a result, the same Southern Life that took the Mississippi off the Standard's hands about a year ago, now takes over the affairs of the Standard in the form of a "merger." Aurora Six Wilborforce Students Arrests Six Wilberforce Students. Cincinnati, O.—Six students of Wilberforce University were arrested and arraigned at Dayton on warrants issued by the U. S.

Miss Williams is a jazz singer for the Columbia Thono- Leona Williams. graph Company making Columbia records, and is a most popular artist. Among her latest song successes are "It Makes No Difference Now" "Tense and Squeeze Man of Mine" "Get to Cool My Doggies Now" and "You Don't Believe I Love You" Miss Williams has made a big hit in Columbia burlesque, and her syncopated singing is sure to delight Columbia audiences, next week. She will offer a number of her successes as her contribution to the success of next week's attraction—Dave Marlon and His Own Show. Mr. Marlon has been famous in Columbia burlesque for the last twenty years for his famous delineation of "Snuffy the Cabman". This year's show is entirely new. Mr. Marlon will be supported by 15 other principal entertainers, headed by Josephine Sabel, Miss Richie Covey, Irene Cornell, Frank DuTell, Charles "Tramp" McNally, Winnie, Clifton, Dave Burt and Ed Begley. There will also be a chorus of more than ordinary attraction, in size, charm and ability to enliven the musical numbers. Memphis Physician Sold Done Memphis, Teen—Dr. A. L. Saunders was convicted in Federal court, last week Wednesday, on a charge of selling $25 worth of narcotic drugs to C. C. Harrison. According to the testimony during the trial it appears that the police department set a trap and enaped the physician. Big State Conference—Fair Share of All Civic Advantages in The South Asked—Dr. Moton DeEvers Principal Address—Program Laid Out. Louisville, Ky.—The fifth annual state interracial conference, held in this city in December, went on record with a vigorous recommendation that our people in the South be given: "A fair share of the civic advantages maintained by taxation or controlled by law, such as parks, swimming pools, libraries, hospitals, and penal institutions, and on railroads, and that a committee consisting of both groups be appointed in each city to suitably appear before the proper authorities to urge such provision." Dr. Robert R. Morton. The conference gave large attention to the need of more adequate facilities for education in this sec. recommending the enactment of a law to equalize school advantages and taking that an "A. grade, teacher's college be established. The conference pieded itself also to work for the establishment of a state institution for feasible-minded children, endorsed the movement to open the wards of our public hospitals to the practice of our physicians and nurses, and recommended that the study of race history and achievement be made a part of our public school course. The meeting was attended by about two hundred professional, educational and civic leaders from over the state, the two races being about equally represented. Many able speeches were delivered on education, health, public utilities, the ballot, and other timely subjects, the oldest frankness being encouraged with regard to conditions and attitudes. The principal address, was that of Dr. R. R. Moton of Tuskegee Institute who made a powerful plea for justice and friendliness before a mixed audience that filled one of the largest white churches of this city. He was given a most appreciative hearing. In his annual report, Dr. James Bond, director of the work in Kentucky, expressed the conviction that conditions and attitudes are steadily improving in this state, in spite of occasional apparent backsets. SMALLEST BABY HA5 FOUNTAIN PEN LEG Houston, Texas. — Herman L. Saunders, (white), word's tiniest baby, is living after two weeks in an incubator swathed in blankets with a hot water bottle at its feet. The baby's head is the size of a silver dollar, arms the size of a pencil and legs about the size of a fountain pen. The whole infant could be well placed in a cigar box. Year Book And Bulletins Free! Washington, D. C.—Senator Frank B. Willis will be glad to send at copy of the interesting Year Book of Agriculture for 1923, recently issued, to those who are interested. Just write him a card to Washington requesting the book. The Senator will also be glad to send a list of the valuable Farmers' Bulletins, from which selections can be made, on request. Honorary Appointments. Flint, Mich.—On taking office the first of the year, Glen Smith, the newly elected sheriff of Glencoe county, appointed five Afro-Americans "special" deputies. They are Chas, H. Wifkins, J. L. Leach, Edward Newman; John P. Bryant and A. N. Davison. Letters appealing to ministers of 283 Cleveland churches to present brief outlines of the record and services of the Phillips Wheatley association from their pulpits. Sunday, were sent, last week Friday, by the association's campaign committee. The drive for funds toward a $600,000 endowment for a larger building opens, this week Friday. The maintenance budget of the association for 1924 shows the Community Fund supplied $42,420 of a total of $73,859.08, and $31,475.08 was received from room rent, board and educational classes attended by our girls. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Separate or "Jim Crow" Schools Illegal in the State of Ohio—Dayton School Board Being Assisted By "Jim Crow" Negroes, Some Professional Men, Toadies. Layton, O. Petition for a writ of mandamus obliging the Dayton board of education to admit our pupils on an equal footing, with all other pupils at the Garfield public school was filed in common pleas court, last week Friday, by Mr. Earl Reese, 227 Norwood Ave., this city, through his attorney John C. Shoa, Esq. The petition is part of a movement to force the school board to obey the law and abandon the present system of maintaining, separate or "jim crow" classes for our pupils at the Garfield school. In his petition Mr. Reese says he is the father of two children of school age and that he presented them to the principal of the Garfield school, with the request that they be a part of it, building now being financially funded exclusively for white children. The request was refused, he says, and they were admitted to the school only on the condition that they be assigned to the "jim crow" buildings now being unlawfully used for our children only. Maintenance of separate buildings, segregating the pupils, is in violation of the state laws, Mr. Reese charges, and he is right, too! The board of education and Paul C. Stetson, superintendent of the Dayton public schools, are named defendants. There are nearly 600 of our children "jim crowed" at the Garfield School. The foregoing, supplemented by the school-board's circulation of petitions throughout the west side of the city to get more supporters, among our people, for its "jim-crow" program, with the promise of a new "jim-crow" school building, has renewed the school-fight, which the loyal members of the race here propose to wage until victory perches upon our banner just as it did in the Springfield school-fight of a couple of years ago. What complicates the situation here and makes it all the more heart-rending is the fact that some of our professional men (doctors and dentists, not lawyers) are toadlying to the "jim-crow" Negroes who are aiding the school-board. Nearly all of these are newcomers to-Davton from the South in the last six or eight years. Surfaced with color-linea, segregation and all other kinds of "jim-crow" where they came from, one would naturally expect them to oppose all such things here where they have a chance to get rid of most if not all of them. It is said that at least one of these doctors of color has secured the promise of a local member (white) of the Ohio legislature to introduce a bill, which if canceled into law will permit the legal establishment of "jim-crow" schools in the state. Ir. Reese and his assistants, loyal members of the race, are being blit- ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS CLIPPINGS Minneapolis is the home town of more railroad porters and train men than any other city of its size in the country. Some of them travel to the four limits of the country.—St. Anthony Baptist church, Dr. E. L. Fuller pastor, has closed one of its most successful revivals, under that able evangelist, Dr. H. C. Cunningham 50 Chicago. It lasted ten days. Dr. Fuller has done splendid work here—building a beautiful church.—At the organization of the ministers' and laymen's association, Jan. 11, the following were the speakers: Rev's. Gamble, Crowder, Lawrence, Stors, Drs. Carr, Cunningham and the local representative of The Gate. The following officers were elected; Rev E. L. Fuller, prey, Gamble, vice-pres.; Rev Wm. Stors, see.; Rev. Crowder, treas.; and Dr. Carr, counselor. The second meeting of the organization was held at Border M. E. church, Sunday evening.—Gale P. Hilyer, one of our prominent attorneys of this city, won a manslaughter case, recently, which was in a local court for five consecutive days. The jury was five consecutive hours. Some victory! Atty. Hilyer is a graduate of U. of M. Law school.—At the Ministerial Alliance in St. Pete A. M. E. church, Jan. 14, several interesting subjects were discussed and plans for the new year outlined. Nearly all of our-local ministers were in attendance except Dr. Wm. Jackson, pastor of Zion Baptist church, who has pneumonia.

As a bait to the latter, the school-board holds up the employment of colored teachers in "jim-crow" schools. They Ignore the violation of the principle involved and the consequent vital injury to the rights of our people done by "jim-crow" or separate schools. Then, too, there are those traitors who affected to be against "jim-crow" schools in the public meetings, but who are secretly helping the other side. Mr. Reese and his supporters have the law on their side, and yet may find it necessary to secure the assistance of that exceptionally able Springfield attorney (whito), a former member of the state supreme court, who directed the Springfield fight so ably that the judges of the courts in that city who rendered favorable decisions only to refuse to insist upon their being promptly carried out, were not able finally to get away with that sort of thing. It was in 1889 that Bishop B. W. Arnett (deceased) of the A. M. E. Church, secured the passage of the Ely-Arnett bill, wiping out the remnants of the "Black Laws of Ohio", one of which legalized separate or "jim-crow" schools. It is this step in the advance which local "jim-crow" Negroes, assisting the local school board, are seeking to wipe out and thus force the race in Ohio to take a 36 year step backward! It must not, it will not be done. Ohio Afro-Americans, outside of the city of Dayton as well as the loyal-members of the race in the "Gem City", will see to this. Mrs. Julia Higgins, "Ernest E. Johnson" and other advocates of "jim-crow" schools, to the contrary, notwithstanding. ELAINE RIOT PRISONERS FREED AT LAST. Little Rock, Ark.—The last of the prisoners jailed in connection with the Elaine, Ark., riot of 1919 have been released. Twelve of our farmers were saved from death and sixty-seven, who had been sentenced to life or long-term imprisonment, have been freed. 'The famous "Arkansas Case" was the direct result of the peonage prevailing in Arkansas, at that time. Negroes were hunted and 250 shot down like wild beasts; in the Arkansas cane-brakes, because they had organized to employ a lawyer in an endeavor to obtain settlements and statements of accounts from their landlords under the share-cropping system. In the farcical and summary trials, which followed, torture was employed to make our men testify against each other. Vera Cruz, Mexico.—A telegram from Mexico City, Jan. 16, said that Mrs. Leonadra Cruz, (white), wife of a forester at Chapultepec, gave birth to 12 dead children Wednesday, Jan. 14, 25. Mrs. Cruz is still in a serious condition and may die at any moment, as she suffered intensely. Besides the physician who attended her, six Red Cross nurses and a priest lent aid. The physicians were unable to explain the phenomenon. It is the first time in Mexican medical history that a women has given birth to so many children.

SATURDAY, JANUARY, 24, 1925. Bishop Francis J. McConnell of Pittsburgh, speaking at Atlantic City, N. J., before the closing session, last week Thursday, of the home missions council and Council of Women for Home Missions of the Methodist Episcopal church, said: "The greatest single work that America can do for the evangelization of the world would be to evangelize herself." TRUTH* Bishop; nothing but the truth. Over the strenuous protests of our people of North Carolina, President Coolidge has appointed Col. Ike Meekins, (white), U. S. judge of the eastern district of that state. Meekins, when a candidate for judge during the recent campaign, was loud mouthed in his opposition to "Negro" suffrage. Is Coolidge "running true to form"? He certainly is. Somebody ought to tell City Manager W. R. Hopkins and Bishop Joseph Schrembs that the bad members (male or female), of our group, are not any worse nor any more numerous, proportionately, than those of any other group in the community. The member or members of the race who have made them believe otherwise are the ones to blame, rather than the city manager and the bishop. STANDARD LIFE—SERVICE CO. FIASCO. According to reports sent out from Atlanta, The Standard Life Ins. Co. and The Service Co., of that city, which controls about all our people's worth-while business enterprises in Atlanta and several elsewhere in the South, have been "gobbled up" by (southern money-lenders) The Southern Ins. Co. (white). This it seems is the direct result of the handling of The Standard Life Ins. Co.'s affairs by President Heman E. Perry and his associates who were in control. Perry is said to be the authority for the statement that the Standard Life closed, last year, with 200 active agents in 13 states, who were sending in an average of $1,000,000 worth of business, monthly. He is also quoted as saying that The Standard Life has $27,000,000 worth of business in force on the lives of 30,000 "Negroes", scattered through the South. Just think of it! No wonder Julius Rosenwald and the eastern capitalists, who were coming to the relief of The Standard Life, several weeks ago, backed away from it in a hurry, when such reports, as the foregoing, were handed to them. If there is any one thing more than another that is hurting the race's so-called business enterprises, it is just such blow-bag, wind-jamming, bragging and boasting as the foregoing. It is said that The Southern Ins. Co. will keep in control of The Standard Life its present officers and board of directors—that is those who have not resigned. THE DAYTON SCHOOL FIGHT. The unfortunate elements in the school trouble at Dayton are: first, "Negroes" from the South that have settled in that city in recent years who are so used to segregation they apparently do not want to get away from it; second, professional "Negroes" from the South and members of the race here in the North who are toadying to them. Regardless of the great harm that will be dohe to the rights of our people in every way in Dayton, they would saddle the "jim-crow" school on themselves and others to benefit themselves, financially; to please a prejudiced school-board, and to make a few places for "colored" teachers. One would think that persons who suffered from all kinds of "jim-crow" segregation in the South to such an extent that nearly all of them were forced to leave that section of the country and come north, would be extremely active in getting rid of all color-lines instead of increasing them. * Regardless of the position taken in the school matter at Dayton by those for and against a "jim-crow" school, it is up to our people through the state to see that the present legislature does not change Ohio laws so as to permit the legal existence of separate or "jim-crow" schools. It is almost inconceivable that even ignorance, duplicity and sycophancy can furnish so many people in any community so blind to their vital interests along a citizen-rights' line. The segregation of our children in the schools of any community means segregation and colorless galore for our people in that community. Prejudiced whites are quick to take advantage of all such vitally harmful precedents, especially when brought about directly or indirectly by our people. It is entirely within the power of the loyal members of the race in Dayton and elsewhere in Ohio to continue the school laws of the state as they are and thus make it impossible to establish separate schools that are legal for any class or group in this state. We MUST have an organization that will work in harmony with our member of the Ohio assembly. The sooner this is effected the better. PRIME SPORT NEWS "All Blacks" Champions Champions Toulouse, France - The New Zealand "All Black" Rugby football team, Sunday defeated team representing France, 30 to 6. Thus "All Blacks" finished triumphantly their tour of the British Isles and France. Sunday's was their thirtieth straight victory. The Cleveland Browns The chaotic condition of things, made by the recent announcement of former President Rube Foster, of our now defunct National Baseball League, makes very uncertain what action, if any, the Cleveland Browns organization will take for next summer. A good idea would be for the organization and our baseball representants from Pittsburgh, Columbus and two or three more cities nearby, to get together and organize a new league, selecting a man for president who is experienced, fair and above all honest. Earl Johnson To Quit Harrisonburg, Va.—R. Earl Johnson will only run one more race. He declared that following the next Masonic Marathon at Detroit, he will retire from athletics. The history of this great long distance runner is full of interesting incidents. He won two World's Olympics and has competed successfully with the best in America. In Europe, Altogether, he has appeared in 180 races and finished first, second or third in all except one. He is regarded as the best cross-country runner in America. "Tiger" Flowers "Kayoed." New York City—Jack Delaney, whose right name is Jacques Chapdelaine, knocked out "Tiger" Flowers the second round of their bout in Miami Square Garden, last week Friday night. The second round went only 45 seconds, the swift upper-cuts to the chin, the second landing as Flowers was falling from the first, finished the fight-representative of the "cracker" state (Georgia). He had fought Delaney to the ropes earlier, in the round, flooding the pale face of the tall French-Canadian with punches. "Tiger" was game and tried to stagger to his feet to continue fighting when Delaney came to his corner to shake his glove, as is the custom. There hasn't been so much excitement in the Garden since the victor knocked out that other ring sensation, Paul Berlenbach. "Tiger" had been knocked out or was times before coming East, but the victory provement, scoring half-dozen outs in recent months. He was a 2 to 1 favorite in the betting, last week Friday night. Sunday, "Tiger" was matched for a ten-round fight, Feb. 26, with Johnny Wilson, whom he defeated, several weeks ago. Flowers will next appear at Boston on Jan. 27, when he is scheduled to box ten rounds with Tommy Robson. He is matched with "Jamaica Kid" for a twelve-round contest at Dayton, Pa. The Ted. Moore-Flowers 12-round bout scheduled for the Newark, N. J. armory, Feb. 2, has been cancelled. Babe Culhan, one of the promoters, said this action was decided upon following the defeat of Flowers by Jack Delaney. Wills, Gibbons and Dempsey New York City—"Gibbons and Wills are the outstanding challengers for the title." Tex Rickard says, "If Dempsey only wants one fight next summer, I may match Gibbons and Wills. Gibbons, I know from experience, is willing to meet any man in the world." Rickard says that on his tentative program the Dempsey-Gibbons, and Dempsey-Wills bouts are the headliners. "I have to do to get those matches." Rickard said, "is to find a way to get the money to pay them. Dempsey wants a lot, but he's the champion. Gibbons and Wills always have been very reasonable. Either one of those matches, or both of them, ought to pay well." Gibbons is just as good as signed now to meet Dempsey, according to Rickard, and Dempsey is willing to take the match, although he has discussed definitely. Wills also has signed a contract that holds good for a match for the championship. At Hot Springs Announces Its Rates For K. P. Members and Others—The Drive For 50,000 New Members.

At a conference of the grand chancellors, Hot Springs, Ark., Dec. 29 and 30, 1924, it was decided that a universal campaign for membership should begin, Jan. 1, 1925, and end, July 1, 1925, to add to the present membership at least fifty thousand new members.
