This decision came as a sequel to his arrest by immigration officers, three weeks ago, for overstaying his six months' permit in this country. Godfrey. Big Drawing "Card". Goddfrey, Big Crawling Los Angeles, Calif.—George Godfrey, heavyweight from Philadelphia, proved one of the biggest drawing cards ever seen in a local ring when more than 12,000 fans saw him stop Jim Conroy, (white), a comparatively unknown heavyweight, in two rounds at the Olympic auditorium, last week Thursday night. Godfrey gave Conroy an unmerciful beating but failed to keep him on the floor. As the bell sounded to end the second round Referee Larry McGrath waved the boxes to their corners and gave the bout to Godfrey. Wills—Dempsey—Jeffries. Jimmy De' Forest and the writer were punching the bag the other day. Talk, quite naturally, drifted into the Dempsey-Wills channel. Jimmy trained Dempsey for his match with Jess Willard. We talked of Dempsey's dodging of Wills and wondered at it. Had Dempsey, in his conversations with me, ever given any verbal hint that he feared the outcome of a match with Wills, De Forest asked. Just once, I told him. That was when the champion had said, "Do you know, when they see Jim Jeffries on the street out in Los Angeles they don't point him out as the greatest of all heavyweights. They merely say 'There goes the guy the black man (Johnson) licked.' They'll never say that about me." "Possibly that's the way Los Angeles used to regard Jeffries," Jimmy commented, "but now the town holds him in high esteem. Last week I accompanied Dempsey to the opening of the new Olympic club out there, a really palatial arena. Sixteen thousand people were in the place and when Jim Jeffries was dragged into the ring to be introduced before the main bout, those 16,000 people went wild. I don't believe I've ever heard an ovation surpassing or even equaling that given Jeff. Immediately after he left the ring, the announcer called for Dempsey, who occupied a ringside seat. Jack arose and climbed into the ring. As soon as he made his appearance the spectators, almost to a man, booed and hissed him and cried "Wills, Wills, Wills." Humilified. Jack quickly returned to his seat.

As for Wills, those in close contact with the Brown Panther claim that beyond reasonable doubt, Mrs. Wills is the BOSS and all interviewers have to come thru her first. They tell a tale on Wills, when he was on his vacation visiting his wife's people in Virginia after the Fripo fight. A prominent physician of the town told the writer that when Wills arrived, a monster banquet was planned in his honor, but when the fighter failed to put in an appearance he went to see what the trouble was. It developed that "Champ" (Mrs. Wills' bull pup) had been taken all with the pip or something, and Harry could not come. Willa Leaves in a Hurry. On another occasion, the doctor found Wills down town and induced him to come up to the drug store (THE drug store was the hang out of the sporting element in the town). Wills came up and pretty soon a crowd gathered to get a chance to see the conqueror. After several mint juleps, Wills actually began to TALK when all noticed that the Panther had his eyes fixed on an object outside which seemed to effect him considerably. It turned out that Mrs. Wills had traced Harry to the drug store and was beckoning him to come out which he did without taking proper leave of his audience. The doctor said from inside the store it looked like Mrs. Wills was leading Harry to the waiting car at the curb by his left ear. No other attempt was made to entertain Wills on other trips to that town.—Baltimore Afro-American. Grays Flatten Tires. Akron, O.—The General Tires (white) fell before the Homestead Grays in the third and deedling game of their series here, Sunday afternoon, 7 to 5. Gray's shoestring catch of Darling's liner was the best play seen here this season. The teams each had one game to their credit, prior to Sunday. So our boys simply had to "clean up". Graham of the Grays made a two-baser; and Scales and J. Williams, three base-hits, one each. Savage and Snyder of the "Tires" each made a two-base hit and Darling, a three baser. A joint recital-testimonial to George Edwards, violinist, will be given at Antioch Baptist church, Sept. 30, by St. John and Antioch chors. Missionary Charges "Infernal Prejudice" Against Us—Father Kramer, A Crusader! "There are between 11,000,000 and 12,000,000 Negroes in the United States. Of these only 250,000 are Catholic. Just reflect on that." That was the statement made by the Rev. Edward Kramer, D. D., a missionary and former Clevelander, at the mass-meeting of the National Catholic Women's union in St. Michael's hall. Tuesday night, Dr. Kramer, a young and earnest man, hits straight from the shoulder. Dr. Edward Kramer. "The Negro problem has been rapping at the door of the Catholic Church for years, and the priests and laity have been indifferent," he declared. 6,000,000 Negroes Pagans. "The colored man is religiously inclined. The Methodists and Baptists have gathered in 5,000,000 of them. Some 6,000,000 are still pagans. We Catholics are not doing our duty. Dr. Kramer said emphatically, "Indeed, many Catholics, instead of doing, are actually frustrating our work among the Negroes. They show their biased feeling whenever a Negro happens to kneel beside them in church. In the House of God, mind you! It is the infernal prejudice! It is not necessary that we take them into our homes; but, at least, let's not turn up our noses. What are we Catholics doing for the Negroes? We have each year an Indian and Negro mission collection, but we give only 1.1 cent per capita to these purposes a year." Dr. Kramer explained that he did not come here to collect money, but simply to state facts. Negro is Destined for Heaven. "The Negro is as good as I am; I am as good as you are; Therefore, he is as good as you are. The Negro was bought by the same Precious Blood that bought you, and he is destined for heaven. If you are not willing to associate with him in eternity, then give up your hopes for heaven."

"WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD!" Cleveland, O., Aug. 28th, 1925, Hon. Harry C. Smith; Editor, Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Friend:—I have read the latest copy of The Gazette through and after reading it, I can truthfully say: It is worth its weight in gold! I admire true manhood—a man who, seeing injustice and oppression, dares, within the limits of the law, to expose it and, if possible snite it. You and I have frequently, during the forty-two years since the birth of The Gazette, been, as the Scotch would say, like two McNeills, but when I find a man, such as you, who consistently, and persistently, through nearly half a century, puts his race foremost in his life struggle, I take off my hat to him, as being a true friend of our class. Long life to you and The Gazette. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS MISS ALDRIDGE! Daughter of Ira Aldridge, Our First and Greatest Actor, a Marylander, Who Located in England The Daughter Famous. London, England.—Miss Aldridge, whose mother was, a talented Englishwoman, Eyes here in a charming home on Bedford Gardens, Kensington, is a gifted singer and composer. Starting her career at an early age, she was one of nine students selected by the famous Jenny Lind to study under her. She proved a very pupil, as two letters, in Miss Lind's own hand testifies. At present she gives vocal lessons at a figure that would be considered, very high even for America. Her compositions are popular or the radio and at the moving picture theatres. Among her compositions are "Three African Dances," "Carnival Suite," and "Assyrian Love Song," all of which are published by Chappell & Co., of New York City. Miss Aldridge's music room is filled with mentions of her father—the costumes in which he played Othella, medals, presents and letters of congratulations from such notables as the Emperor of Austria, the King of Prussia and the president of Switzerland. Great Maryland. She also showed me many newspaper clippings praising her father. It might be well to remind Afro-Americans of the great Marylander so I will quote from Le Bord, a Russian paper of 1868, which says of him in his favorite role of Othello: "No sooner did the Moor make his appearance than I felt myself, I confess it instantly, subjugated not by the terrible and menacing look of the hero, but the naturalness, calm dignity and by the stamp of power and force that he manifested, and of which he also seemed to be ignorant contrary to the customs of great actors who very often on the stage appear too much pleased with themselves. He entered gloomy, mild, and thoughtful. But under that calm air one foresaw and forbade the thunder, and while they would not tarry to break out; it was the command which even when asleep commands respect. At the first words he pronounced I forgot theatre, the actors and even Shakespeare. What above all that characterizes Aldridge is that he produces his effects more by the expression of his face than by the words he utters or his gestures. They say he is not handsome. I find it impossible to give an answer to this question. I saw only on his brow the sublimity of genius." In Royal Academy Miss Aldridge's picture was recently painted by a vice-president of the Royal Academy and is hung in the Academy: And speaking of pictures I am reminded to say that on Oxford St., the heart of the shopping district, is the photograph of a Negro prominently displayed in the window of one of London's most fashionable photographers. This Negro, who is very dark, is Richard Donovan, who MARIAN ANDERSON Received Enthusiasmatically By a Great New York Audience of 7,500 in The Stadium—Leading Daily Newspaper Critics Praise New York City.—Marian Anderson, our leading contralto soloist; enjoyed a triumph at her appearance with the Philharmonic Orchestra in the City College Stadium, Aug. 26, having been chosen for this honor from 300 competing singers. F. D. Perkins, critic of the New York Herald-Tribune, asserts that the audience was estimated to be the third largest of the entire season of Stadium concerts. In his review of the event, he calls Miss Anderson's "a voice in a hundred thousand" and continues: "A notable feature in Miss Anderson's singing was its entire naturalness; all that she had to do, apparently was to sing, without any need of apparent effort to fill the Stadium spaces. In high and low notes, there was a full, rich quality that, carried far; the singer had no more trouble, it seemed, in singing at the Stadium than in singing at Aeolian Hall, but seemed more at her ease, in smooth voice; than in the Aeolian Hall auditorium. A storm of applause followed the Donizetti number, very meritoriously sung, and Miss Anderson sang Woodman Terry's 'The Answer' as an encore. But expressively, she seemed most at home in the three spirituals scheduled for her second appearance: Harry T. Burleigh's 'Deep River' and 'Heav'n' and J. Rosamond Johnson's 'Song of the Heart', in a performance characterized by what might be called expressive simplicity." The New York Times reviewer said Miss Anderson made an "excellent impression" and found her "endowed by nature with a voice of unusual compass, color, and dramatic capacity."

It is indeed very gratifying to see and know that we have among the progressives of the present day, a man of your calibre, who regardless of what the other men may say or think of him, uncompromisingly argues ahead of the interest of people. In the future pages of our illustrative life, he as bright (and brighter still) as the faint white pages awaiting you and may the deeds, committed in-behalf of the faltering multitude, prove an inspiration, thus awakening within each individual the courage to dare and the faith to dare the worth-while thing—that which makes for strength of character and the securing of trust and confidence. We join hands in expressing to you, and those who have aided you in your fight for liberty and right, our sincere appreciation and grateful thanks for the same, and wish to, assure you of our earnest endeavor to merit your friendship and benevolence.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1925. Yes, we are “old”, alright. You ask how we know it? Why, we are made to feel so much better just to hear that Miss Aldridge is still alive and doing so well. —a— Many, many years ago, damphool American prejudice drove Ira Al- dridge, one of the greatest trage- dians this country has ever pro- duced, to England and other Eu- ropean countries. — a Since the leading daily newspapers and magazines of the country have been converted to the idea of capital- izing the word, “Negro”, may we suggest to the editor of the Cleve- Jand Catholic Bulletin the advisabil- ity, ves, the fairness, of doing so also? ee Frequently, here of late, we have been apprised, by mewspapers, of what seems to be a fact and that is that great dig, husky heavyweight pugilist de luxe, Harry Wills’ real manager is his lovely wife. More evidence of good judgment on his part. See article in our Prime Sport News department, ee ~ aaa Battling Siki, the Senegalese fight- cr, in recent months developed into a “monkeyshine” boxer or pugilist. So the sooner government officials force him to go back home to Paris, France, or Africa, the better for all of our people in this country. We have, without him, entirely too many “Negro monkies” as it is. Siki can be spared. —il— ‘We wonder sometimes if the intel- ligent of our people really appreciate what our two stars in the musical firmament—Roland Hayes and Ma- rian Anderson—are doing for our people generally right where the splendid impressions they are mak- ing will do us the most good? Hayes with his exceptional tenor voice and Wes Anderson wth her ne con tiAlto voice are reaching a class of people who could hardly be won in any other way. More power to them! Lord, have mercy! Now comes the announcement that Henry Linc. Johnson, national Republican com- mitteeman from Georgia, endorsed President Coolidge’s recent appoint- ment of a ku klux Democrat for U. 8. collector of customs at Savannah, Ga. This “Negro”, Johnson, is the individual the national Republican ‘committee had campaigning in Ohio, two years ago, who “sneered” at our candidacy for the Republican nomi- nation for Governor. How do you lke him now? =e Ray Campbell’s article, repro- duced in our Prime Sport News de- partment, is not only illuminating but an agreeable surprise in that it shows a stronger feeling for a con- test between Wills and Dempsey than most of our people will believe exists among the other class or race. As we said many months ago, public opinion, in spite of the activity of prejudiced daily newspaper sport- writers and others of their kidney, will force such a contest and before many more months have elapsed, too. ‘The Baltimore Afro-American an- nounces that Dean Kelly Miller of Howard University has been “‘com- pelled to go on the road, speaking for an administration (President Durkee’s) he despises”. Well, if that is all the backbone, self-respect and manhood, the great Prof. Kelly Miller possesses he ought not only to be fired, a» we understand he is to be by Durkee, in a year or so, but he ought to be kicked out of How- ard’s faculty now. We cannot, how- ever, imagine Kelly’s being such a sel- fish, time-serving, truckling end cow- ardly “Negro”. —— ‘So Cleveland Afro-Americans, way beck in 1857, were “on the map"— ‘tore Lincoln's proclamation, ac- cording to that eminent “Negro”, THE GEEVUM GIRLS Wm. Wells Brown. How come? Ne- groes from the South in the last eight years are wont to say with a gusto that is positively amusing that they put our people of this city “on ‘the map”. Wish they could have seen Mr. John Lee’s restaurant in Euclid Ave., forty ot fifty years ago; or Mr, Freeman Morris’ tailor shop, since then; or the Price Brothers’ wagon-making and blacksmith shop, ete., ete. Perhaps it might be well to ask, on what map they have put our people of this city? Don’t all answer at once, —ain— The state department's hasty an- nouncement makes it perfectly clear that President Coolidge has abso- lutely no intention of appointing an ‘Afro-American as U. 8. minister to Haiti. More “antidoleful consola- tion” for those “Negroes” who sup- ported the President in the last na- tional campaign. It there is any other way (than those he has taken) the President can show his contempt for our people, we'd like to know what it is. He can appoint even a ka klux Georgia Democrat to office and make the “Negro” national Re- publican committeeman of that state “like it”, but he simply will NOT give an Afro-American an appoint- ment. ~ Former State Senator John P. Green is over eighty years of age and still “going strong” as a prac- Uieing attorney at the Dar in the courts of this city. He has been a resident of Cleveland almost all of his long and wellepent life, As a justice of the peace here for about nine years, member of the Ohio Leg- islature for six years, U. S. stamp agent at Washington, D. C., for about the same length of time, Mr. Green's has been exceptional experience in public life.

Hazel Marshall, age 20, 3620 Broadway, charged with first degree nurder in the fatal stabbing of Wm. Meadows, of 5914 Outhwaite Ave. was bound over to the county grand jury without dail, Monday, by Police Judge Bell. The girl is also held in connection with the stabbing of Hay- wood Jenkins, 2541 . 424 St. She Is alloged by police to have stabbed Jenkins during an argument, and when Meadows interfered, to have Stabbed him in the heart. This Is but one of the overal oF more usual Saturday and Sunday night murder committed in the 11th and 12th wards. “Hooteh” and “dope” are at the bottom of most of them. There are entirely {oo many “‘speakeasies" and “dope joints” in those wards and far too little police protection. Un- til our ministers in that section of the city make an inslatent and. con- tinued, concerted demand for better police protection there will be no change for the better, but conditions will continue to grow steadily worse, as they have now for many months. —ili— LIBERTY AND CITIZENSHIP. In our long public life of nearly @ halt century we do not recall a member of the race who was as suc- cessful as a manager of Jubilee sing- ers, and as a vocalist, too, as Fred- erick J. Loudin of Ravenna, 0. He toured the world with his fine bass voice and his Fisk Jubilee Singers and came back home with plenty of “the world’s goods” which he very properly left to his wife, sister and niece when he “passed out”. Mr. Loudin was the first person to im- press us fully with the point made so well in Prof, Neval H. Thomas’ letter elsewhere in this paper. While he and his exceptionally fine com- pany of singers, which included the internationally famous (years ago) jubilee-soprano, Miss Patti Malone, were in England delighting royalty, from King and Queen down, as well ‘as countless numbers of other Eng- lishmen, Mr. Loudin wrote the writer substantially what Mr. Thomas has in his splendid letter from Quebec, and IT IS THE TRUTH—the Afro- American gets his first taste of real Liberty when he leaves this country.

Edward Kramer, whose father is a resident ot Cleve- land, said among other good things, some of which are republished else- where in this paper: “The Negro is as good as Lam, 1 am as good as you are. Therefore, he is as good as you are, Father Kramer was forcing home the fact that the Catholics (and oth- ers) of this country were “side-step- ping” what he conceived to be their clear duty to about six million of our people in this country who are not connected with any Church. As the Germans would say, Rev. Kramer “said @ mouthful to fool-prejudiced America! And whenever it accepts his sane and sensible course of rea- soning along that line, the so-called “Race Problem” in this country will vanish like a dream and all will be so near well that our people will feel as if the millenium has been reached. Father Kramer has enunciated a fun- damental for all American religiods organizations—for everybody! May “his tribe increase and may the good Lord strengthen him for the crusade ahead he has apparently mapped out for himselt. A LITERARY RENAISSANCE. Seven hundred Negro writers and artists competed for the Amy Spin- garn prizes, awarded at a Harlem Meeting under the auspices of the Crisis. It was not the only occasion in recent months when eminent white authors have joined in praising the fruits of the new Negro literary movement. Older writers, like Stan- ley Braithwaite in criticism, Du Bois in the essay, James Weldon Johnson im poetry, rose to distinction slowly and singly. But since 1920 there has come forward a group remark- able for its vigor, originality and racial flavor. In fiction, it includes Jessie Fauset and Walter White, fwhoge novels, «"There Is Confusion’ and “The Fire in the Flint”, are able Studies of race probelms.' In_ the short story, it has produced Jean Toomer. It counts such poets as Claude McKay, the Jamaica-born au- thor of “Harlem Shadows”, and two of the Spingarn prize-winners, Coun- tee Cullen and Langston Hughes. These and others are gaining the Ne- gro a recognized place in contem- porary letters. Other arts—music with Burleigh; Roland Hayes and Nathaniel Dett; the stage with Paul Robeson—have welcomed Negroes, but perhaps nat- urally they find their fullest voice in lterature.—N. ¥. World.

Better than all of the foregoing is the fact that Dr. Colley is a thoroughly unselfish and aggressive race-leader in his home city. Our people are in sad need of more of his kind.
