LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY SENATOR LODGE PRESENTS DYER BILL PETITION TO THE SENATE VOL. XXVIII. SENATOR HENRY CABOT LODGE. one of the foremost Republican leaders, has made himself sponsor for the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, H. R. 13, presenting to the Senate on Saturday, May 6, a petition urging its immediate passage, according to announcement made today at the office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Senator Lodge's secretary sent the following telegram to James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the Advancement Association: "Washington, May 6. "Senator Lodge presented to the Senate this afternoon the petition which you left with him and had the text and the statement you prepared printed in the Record. The petition referred to, which was presented by Senator Lodge, was drawn up and the signatures obtained by the N. A. A. C. P. Half of the state governors in the United States were signers, as were thirty-eight mayors of the largest cities, eighty-five archbishops, bishops and leading churchmen of all denominations, Supreme Court justices from many states and leading lawyers' editors and other publicly known citizens. One of the Republican leaders in Washington is quoted as saying that the petition in behalf of the Dyer bill, presented through the N. A. A. C. P., to his knowledge was the most imposing document that was ever put before the Senate. Senator Borah Denounces Seizure Of Island of Haiti Senator Borah Denounces Seizure Of Island of Haiti Sénator William E. Borah of Idaho, one of the most powerful Republicans in the Senate, has taken up the charges against the American occupation of Haiti, first pressed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. In a ringing lecture delivered before an audience of 3,500 people in Carnegie hall, New York, on the night of May 1, Senator Borah declared United States marines had invaded the black republic and held it in military subjection for five years in the interest chiefly of New York bankers. Senator Borah told the story of the invasion of Haiti, of the overthrow by military force of the Haitian government and the setting up of a president, D'Artiguenave, who would be subservient to American military authorities. "I am convinced we are in there to stay unless American opinion brings us out," said Senator Borah urging all Americans to make their views heard. "Unless public opinion is aroused, directed and sustained, we will stay there. "Don't forget that the soil of those countries is the richest in the world and labor is cheap and abundant—20 cents a day is the wage. It has become dangerous for an independent people to let it become known to the world that they are in possession of vast natural resources." Speaking of the atrocities charged against United States marines, Senator Borah said: "You ask how American marines can be so cruel? That is the story of imperialism the world over and throughout all history. Do you think it is any worse than some of the things done in India and Siberia?" "Judging from the standpoint of these people and the honor of the American people, we ought to get out of Haiti and out of every place where we have no right." Senator Borah's championing of the cause of Haiti follows a two-year campaign waged by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The initial expose of conditions in Haiti was made by Herbert J. Seligman and by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. both of whom were in Haiti at the same time. Several military and naval commissions endeavored to whitewash what had been done. But the N. A. A. C. P. continued the fight, helped Haitians who came to the United States to present their case to the American people, and finally co-operated in the formation of the Haiti-Santo Domingo Independence Society under whose auspices Senator Borah spoke in Carnegie hall. America Disgraced By Lynching Habit America Disgraced By Lynching Habit Methodist Bishops Declare It Must Be Utterly Abolished. Hot Springs, Ark., May 12.—(Special.)—The official weight of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, numbering two and a quarter million members, was thrown into the balance against lynching by the Quadrennial Address of the College of Bishops to the General Conference now in session here. Having commented on the Negro's "commendable zeal" in the effort for education and on the remarkable progress made by the race since it emerged from slavery, the bishops continue: "We urge our people everywhere to do all they can for the uplifting of the Negroes in preparation for a safe and helpful citizenship. This implies that they shall have complete justice where their lawful rights are concerned. We especially urge that everything possible be done to prevent lynchings, which are no less a disgrace to those who engage in them than they are an outrage upon the helpless victims. This crime of crimes, which is not only a complete subversion of law but a stroke at the very life of law itself, has discredited our nation in the eyes of other civilized nations and brought undying obloquy upon many of the states of the Union. It is hoped that the states will continue to legislate against this shameful crime and that the public conscience will be speedily so aroused that it will be utterly abolished." EXTENSION BOARD MEETS. Washington, D. C., April 27.—Dr. Benj. Watson made his twenty-second report as secretary treasurer of the A.M. E. Church Extension Board yesterday. Bishop John Hurst presided. Assets of the department total $480,373 and liabilities $823,072. The Second Episcopal District owes $45,330 to the board. DENVER. COLORADO. SATURDAY. MAY 13 1922 Must Remain in Jail, Although Millionaire Jefferson City, Mo., May 5.—If you were in jail and had about $4,000,000 that you couldn't spend, you'd get an idea of just about what freedom might be worth to you. Two or three of those millions, perhaps. That's the question D. H. Hays, serving three years in the state prison heref or forgery, has a little time and cause to think over. He has had letters from various persons urging him to sign away oil leases on 160 acres of oil land he owns in Mexico and telegrams from lawyers in Oklahoma City telling him not to sign for less than $4,000,000. Hays isn't signing and he isn't talking. He's just sawing wood. With allowances for good behavior in prison and everything going right he may get out of jail by September, 1923, and get a chance to spend the $4,000,000 that his lawyers say this land is worth since oil has been discovered. Hays says he owns the land, about a quarter section of it, but that is all he has to say. Worth Millions In Oil; Doesn't Know It Worth Millions In Oil; Doesn't Know It Friends of James Manuel Seek Him All Over the United States. Kansas City, Mo., May 4.—If anybody sees James Manuel destitute and friendless walking around the streets tell him he is worth $2,000,000, even though he doesn't know it. When he left Tampico, Mexico, years ago, he thought a strip of land he owned there was valueless. Now, according to a letter received by R. A. Kope, lawyer, 433 Lee building, Manual's property is in the heart of the greatest oil district in the world. It is worth $2,250,000, according to a letter received by Kope from Joe Espino, a former friend of Manuel, who is seeking the immigrant in the hope that he may claim the fortune due him. Espino has lost trace of his former friend. The last time he heard from him Manuel was living in Kansas City. Espino has forgotten the address. Kope is seeking the millionaire in order that he may close details through which the fortune can be secured. N.A.A.C.P. Outlaws Clansman Film in Sacramento, Cal. N.A.A.C.P. Outlaws Clansman Film in Sacramento, Cal. The Sacramento, Calif., branch of the National Association has been instrumental in having "The Clansman," a moving pictures favoring the Ku Klux Klan barred from display there. Rev. Fred A. Hughes, president of the branch, appeared before the city council which adopted an ordinance barring motion pictures that tend to engender race hatred "or hold up to ridicule or ostracism any race or class of people, or appeals to race prejudice or baser passions." Rev. Hughes charged the theater interests with having violated their promise to the California Legislature not to book such pictures in the state. As a consequence of his protest the ordinance was passed. N. A. A. C. P. Prevents Extradition From Illinois to Mississippi The Bloomington, Ill., branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has been instrumental in preventing extradition of a Negro to Mississippi where he would probably have been lynched, it was announced today at the national office, 70 Fifth avenue, New York. Jesse Smith was arrested in Bloomington on the request of Jackson, Miss., police, charged with "grand larceny." Smith said he had been wrongfully accused of stealing a revolver, and that if he were returned to Mississippi he would be killed. He appealed to the Bloomington branch of the N. A. A. C. P., which appointed the following committee to handle the case: Dr. E. G. Covington, Rev. C. W. Smith and A. J. Henderson, president of the branch. The committee, after visiting Jesse Smith in his cell, employed an attorney to oppose extradition. As a consequence of their efforts, Governor Small of Illinois refused extradition papers to the deputized bondsmen from the South who had come for the prisoner. When informed of the victory Jesse Smith is reported to have wept for joy. WHAT IS THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH COMING TO? This question is often asked in these days by keen observers of the signs of the times, and judging from present conditions, such questions may be justified, realizing the fact the church militant has never claimed perfection, has had and will always have her Judases and false brethren, reminding us of the parable of the tares and the wheat. But when we behold such farremoved conditions from the old handmark, that makes the parable of the tares tame in comparison, it is time to sound alarm. It is a sad commentary on the church when many of her officers are men who have never made any claim to Christianity, and who brazenly admit the think. Of choir leaders as well as many of their members dictating as to what Christians shall sing; trustees, deacons and other officers who have no personal knowledge of Christ, overseeing the affairs of the church; young men and women of the world teaching classes in the Sabbath schools, B. Y. P. U.'s and Christian Endeavor and other organizations for spiritual uplift. To one who has grown to manhood under the nurture of the Holy Writ and believes in the pre-eminence of God's word, to see the influx of sin penetrating the heart of the church, it is time to show the danger signal, but we invite the wrath of God by our brazen defiance of His law. If that be true of her officers what may we expect on the part of the laity, who today, with many, are a picture of those disobedient Israelites who served Baal and forgot Jehovah; and ministers whose psychology is that "crowds draw crowds," being successful oftimes in drawing crowds, when instead of giving them the gospel message, they are pampered with some pleasant entertainment or some exciting lecture on some question of the day, and some who would not attempt, as did the Apostle Paul, to know nothing among their flock save Jesus and Him crucified. While we deprecate said conditions, a word to the faithful must be spoken. It is an individual question for all professing Christians to make that road for themselves. His kingdom will come, in spite of all the forces of evil—only pray God that we may co-operate with Him in helping to bring it to pass. REV. WILLIAM THOMAS. Detroit, Mich. CHEYENNE WYO., NEWS Mr. and Mrs. B. B. Cowan will depart soon for Omaha, to make their permanent residence. Mr. and Mrs. Cowan have made many friends in Cheyenne who regret their departure. Allen Chapel will miss this young couple who have proven themselves valuable members in the choir and the Improvement Club. Mr. Cowan at present time is indisposed, having his tonsils removed last week. Mrs. Cowan will visit Wichita, Kan., before going to Omaha. Mothers' day services will be held at 11 o'clock at the A. M. E. Church, and all mothers who are able to be present will be carried to church by taxi at the expense of the stewardesses. The Candle Rally Sunday, under the auspices of the stewardesses, was a grand success, and we thank our friends who so kindly responded to our invitation. The Improvement Club of Allen Chapel gave the members and friends of the church a rare treat Monday evening of last week—the May Pole entertainment—twelve little girls taking a part. Program: Chorus, "Suppose," by the company of piano selection, Irma Dyer. Winding the May Pole was excellent and perfect. Dorothy Forbush was crowned May Queen, the last number, and everyone was cordially invited to the church parlor, where the Carnival was held by the grownups. The fortune teller's booth was very ably handled by Mrs. Cowan. Candy booth, with fine home-made candies in charge of Mesdames Stemons, Rhone and others. Sandwich booth, Mesdames Gaskin, Cowan, Moss and Reed. Apple contest, Mrs. M. A. Endicott; fancy booth, Mrs. A. Roebinnette. Tuesday evening the Musical was a success and very much enjoyed by all.

This young boy has the promise of making a very fine artist in line of musician, and we look for great success for him. Mrs. Reuben Smith, accompanist. Mesdames Smith and Leonard as accompanists for the evening were at their best. Mesdames Endicott and Cowan are due many thanks for training the girls for the May Pole festival. The two evening entertainments will prove a grand success. Mrs. O. H. Redd, state president of Federated Colored Women's Clubs, returned from Denver Friday evening, and Mrs. Redd is very enthusiastic over her visit to the club women of Denver and the many courtesies extended to her while there. Mr. and Mrs. Stemons have moved to the home they purchased recently at the corner of Eleventh and Snyder streets. Mr. Chas. Johnston has departed on a visit to Chicago and also friends in Michigan. Mrs. Susannah Peirson is indisposed at this time. Mesdames Hopkins and Stacker mending slowly. NO 30 Mixed Dancing Under Ban in Portland, Ore. Portland, Ore., April 24.—Mixed dances in the city will be banned from now on if the mayor and city council can find any way to put a stop to it. Action by the authorities follow the raiding of a dance hall conducted by R. D. Stuart three weeks ago. White and colored men and women were dancing indiscriminately. The mayor claimed that mixed dancing must stop in the interest of common decency. Stuart's lawyers defied the mayor, declaring that there was no law on the statute books which prohibited white and colored people from dancing together if they were well behaved and wanted to.

Its suggestion that all the tangled financial problems be submitted to a mixed committee of experts named by the Genoa conference provided a means of escape from the present su- per-heated atmosphere, which appears to be unfavorable for the settlement of the myriad questions arising from the Russian situation. England regards the reply as mod- erately conciliatory ; so also does Italy. ‘The Italian foreign minister has been working day and night to prevent a break which seemed _ imminent through the opposition of France and Belgium to the settlement of the prop- erty question which Great Britain and the lesser powers will approve. France expresses great disappolnt- ment at the reply, and Belgium is far from satisfied. Mr. Barthou, head of the French delegation, declared the re- ply did not get anywhere and was not really an answer to the allied propos- als, Consequently it is not known whether the Russian proposals will be accepted by the French as a basis for continuation of the discussion. ‘The general conclusion of the Rus sian reply reads: “The Russian government sent ite representatives to the conference at Genoa in the hope of achieving an agreement with the other states which, without affecting the soclal and political regime established tr consequence of the revolution and In tervention victoriously repulsed, would bring about not aggravation, bu amelioration, of the economic and fi nancial situation in Russia and at the same time open the way to amelior ation of the economic situation o} Europe. “But this plan presupposed that th foreign powers who organized armet Intervention In Russia Would ceas using toward Russia the language o the victor to the vanquished, Russi not having been vanquished. “The only language which coul have led to a common agreement was that which states adopt toward eacl other when contracting upon a basi of equality. “Russia remains disposed, in orde1 to assure the success of the agree ment, to consent to serious conces sions toward the foreign powers, bu on this absolute condition, that te these concessions shall _correspon¢ equivalent concessions in favor of the Russian people by the other contract ing parties. ‘The popular masses in Russia could not accept an agreement in which the concessions granted should not have their counterpart in real advantages. “A different outcome, and one sug gested by the difficulties of the situ ation, would be reciprocal annulment of the claims and counter claims flow: ing out of the past between Russia and the other powers. But even in this case the Russian government has decided to respect the Interests of the ‘mall bondholders.” Income Fraud Charged. Seattle, Wash.—Alfred 'f. White, for- mer interpreter for the United States immigration here, and Y.

Who Invented the Hot Cross Bun? Many of our group probably believe that the Hot Cross Bun is of Christian origin or British invention. But the Hot Cross Bun was invented by Ethi- oplans who dwelt in the land of Chemi (ham) wrongly called Egypt. The Ethi- opians were very much like the Amer- ican Negro In looks. The black men eae es bee mace are Moon Goddess for in those days Ethi- opia had her own religion. ‘The Greeks brought the custom with them when they immigrated to Greece, from Egypt, calling them Bouns. The Boun refers to the cross-like symbol with which the bun is marked to indi- cate the four quarttrs of the moon and does not symbolize the Christian cross. Estate of May Hill, Deceased. No. 29121.

"The influx of undesirable blacks thus form. "Honor and shame from no honor lies." DENVER is bidding for an increased population. There are some enthusiasts who predict and confidently believe that Denver will be a city of 500,000 souls within a few years. Perhaps the greatest single agency that may be contributive to such a splendid result is to be found in the impetus certain to be given all state industries following construction work on the Moffat tunnel. This will call for all classes of labor, some capital and varied enterprises. Denver will be a great big flourishing city to which many eyes will turn as a haven of prosperity and happiness. And herein lies the danger. Not all who may be counted in the increase of Denver's population will be property owners, or home builders. Not all will prove good, worthy, citizens. The wave of prosperity has always carried with it a considerable scum, and these are not confined to any particular race or color, but rather is representative of all races and colors. That distinctly American institution known as the "Melting Pot" operates more actively in a great city than in a smaller one. Thus, in waxing warm and enthusiastic over the prospects of a greater Denver, the thing most needful of scrutiny is the character and makeup of the citizens who shall seek asylum here. Of course there will be no more of the wild western scenes, as the wild West was known and exhibited years ago. The passing of the saloon will go far toward minimizing many evils. But the crop of criminals, the "ne'e'r-do-wells," the pool hall habitues and crooks seem to flourish despite the existence of a Volstead act. As for the Negro, the many civil, religious and fraternal bodies must make themselves felt in the movement to build up this city with a good class of citizens. The responsibility is ours and we must meet it openly. If Denver is to be a growing city, let us be ready to aid in its proper growth. And we but need to remember East St. Louis, Chicago and other cities when a too sudden influx of undesirables were pointed to as the cause of local disturbances, to realize just the seriousness of our obligations. We are not alarmists in any sense but view the peaceful relations existing between the races here with a great deal of pride. True, there will be no greater proportionately influx of undesirable blacks than of the whites. But that is not our problem. "Honor and shame from no conditions rise. Act your part, there the honor lies." MOTHER'S DAY. soul expression of human existence in a nation-wide observance of "that known to Christendom is there thrills, emotions and experiences may be applied to Mother's Day, and sacrifice, memory and longing great of the world meet on a day to pay due homage and love.

THE most beautiful expression of human existence will manifest itself Sunday, May 14, in a nation-wide observance of "Mother's Day." To no other holiday event known to Christendom is there wrapt up such a completion of all the thrills, emotions and experiences of mankind from the cradle to the grave as may be applied to Mother's Day. Pain and sorrow, joy and anticipation, love and sacrifice, memory and longing, all typify the glories of motherhood. The great of the world meet on a common level with the most lowly next Sunday to pay due homage and reverence to mothers, whether living or dead. It is the one event thoughtfully evolved to recall the memories of mothers that have gone on, and through loving words and loving care to brighten and sweeten the lives of mothers who remain. Motherhood defies prayer and exalts worship. It is the one sacred altar upon which there burns the eternal fires of undying faith and loving sacrifice. And yet, beautiful as may be the spirit and ennobling sentiments that attach to "Mother's Day," is merely a one-day observance with a flower, or postal, or letter, a sufficient tribute? Would it not be far better if one's life and deeds and accomplishments reflected more accurately the mother love—the mother teachings. The most eloquent or logical sermon ever preached still falls short of ability to picture the ineffable sweetness and blessings that noble motherhood has been to the cause of Christ and to the world's progress. The herald angels over star-lit Bethlehem but told the world of the virtues and offerings of pure motherhood. The "Ave Maria" testifies to her blessedness and holiness. Therefore, let the boy and the man, the maid and the matron, admit into their heart of hearts the real spirit of this day's celebration. Honor thy mother and thy father also. It is a noble day; make it one of noble deeds. Go back in memory to Mother's knee, let the music of her voice once again saturate the soul. Humankind will be better next Monday because of an earnest observance of Mother's Day, but it would be still further improved were it observed each day of the year. Let Sunday, May 14, 1922, be more than a period in your lives in after years. Let it in reality be an epoch from which will radiate the most sacred and hallowed memories. "MOTHER!" What a magic word! Clustered around its infinite preciousness can be found all the beauty and thrills of the centuries. No love so pure, none so devoted, none so true. All history is made luminous with the story of beautiful motherhood. It is perpetuated in song and thanksgiving, for "My soul doth magnify the Lord and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour."

GAINS HIGH DISTINCTION IN GERMAN GAINS HIGH DISTINCTION IN GERMAN Washington, D. C., April 28.—Prof. Edward P. Davis, head of the department of German in the Howard University, recently received announcement from the office of the president of the University of Chicago that he had been elected fellow in German for 1922-23. This comes as a result of the nomination of the seven professors of the department of Germanic languages and literature, the recommendation of President Judson, and the vote of the Chicago trustees. It is a recognition of the scholarship Professor Davis has already displayed as a graduate student. The attainments required of fellows are outlined as follows: "The candidate must have attained proficiency in some department. In general, she should have spent at least one year in resident study after receiving his bachelor's degree. In making the appointment special weight is given to dissertations indicating the candidate's ability to conduct original investigation." Fellows rank as officers of the university are expected to serve as instructors or as assistants in examinations, in the departmental libraries, or on the technical publications of the university. MAN, SHOT THROUGH HIS HEAD RECOVERS. Louisville, Ky., May 11. It was indeed a miracle, according to physicians, that saved the life of Peter Haskell from being tried for murder instead of shooting and wounding, in criminal court here last Thursday. A bullet fired by Haskell passed through the head of John Hunter, last November, entering on the left side and emerging at about the same location on the right side. Hunter recovered and was one of the witnesses at the trial. Haskell was found guilty by a jury and sentenced to one year in the penitentiary. HOSPITAL FOR EX-SERVICE MEN TO BE AT TUSKEGEE To Be Ready in Nine Months—Only Institution in Country for Disabled Negro Soldiers. (Preston News Service.) Washington, D. C., May 10.—Award of contract amounting to $1,000,000 for the general construction of the United States Veterans' Hospital for Disabled Negro Soldiers at Tuskegee Institute, Ala., was announced last Tuesday by Assistant Secretary Clifford of the Treasury Department. Contracts for the mechanical equipment will be announced later. The hospital, which will be the only government institution in the country treating Negro former service patients exclusively, will be situated adjoining Tuskegee Institute and will have a capacity of 500 beds, half of which will be for tubercular patients and half for mental and shell-shock cases. The institution will cost between $2,000,000 and $2,500,000, it is estimated, when finished. Construction work is to begin at once, Mr. Clifford said, and is to be completed in nine months. There will be twenty separate buildings, he stated, making it a small village by itself. ATTEND HAMPTON EXERCISES. (Preston News Service.) New York City, May 9.—A large delegation of prominent men and women left here Wednesday evening on a special train for Hampton, Va., to attend the fifty-fourth anniversary exercises of Hampton Institute. Alexander B. Trowbridge, president of the Hampton Association, directed the party which went to Cape Charles, Va., and then by boat to Hampton. The object of the pilgrimage is to link more closely the North and the South in development of the institute. The pilgrimages were started in 1904 by the late Robert C. Ogden. Man Who Evaded Extradition to North Carolina Said to Have Fled From Infamous K. K. K. (Preston News Service) Hamilton, Ont., May 8.—Having heard that members of the infamous Ku Klux Klan had pledged themselves to kidnap him and take him back to Norlina, N. C., to face charges of murder and inciting to riot, has caused Matthew Bullock to seek refuge elsewhere, it is reported. Bullock, it will be remembered, evaded extradition on two occasions, and then the report of Ku Klux interest in the case reached him. The Rev. J. D. Howell, who led the campaigns for funds to fight Bullock's extradition charges, is reported as saying that the report that the Ku Klux Klan marauders were interested and worried Bullock a great deal. Rev. Howell refuses to reveal Bullock's haven of refuge. Funds for his journey, it is said, were supplied from the defense chest, to which thousands of race men and women as well as thousands of liberty-loving white people contributed freely. R. L. Vann Re-elected President of State Voters' Organization by Acclamation - Next Meeting to Be in Pittsburgh R. L. Vann Re-elected President of State Voters' Organization by Acclamation - Next Meeting to Be in Pittsburgh (Preston News Service.) Philadelphia, Pa., May 8.—The first annual meeting of the Pennsylvania State Organization of Negro Voters was held here the last week in April and did many things of importance in the matter of definitely shaping out policies with reference to candidates for office in the coming elections. Prominent Negroes from all parts of the state attended the sessions and no time was wasted in vitriolic speeches against the white race; but President Vann conducted the sessions in a manner which enabled the delegates to do some concrete work. Telegrams were received from all the candidates giving their views, which were recorded. The organization made it plain to each candidate that he would be held to strict accountability with reference to his pre election pledges. It seemed to be the consensus of opinion that this formidable manner of dealing with candidates will disabuse the white man's idea that Negroes are very gullible, easily baited and soon forget verbal promises. The state organization is composed of large local organizations in nearly every section of the state and must be reckoned with by all office seekers. The records of state and municipal officials were reviewed and the reports tabulated. The information compiled at the meeting will be widely disseminated so that Negro voters throughout the state can vote intelligently as to their interests at the coming election. The next meeting will be held in Pittsburgh in August, 1923. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, Robert L. Vann, Pittsburgh (by acclamation); first vice president, Edward W. Henry, Philadelphia; second vice president, Mrs. S. Willie Layton, Philadelphia; third vice president, Mrs. Daisy E. Lampkin, Pittsburgh; financial secretary, Mrs. Ruth Bennett, Chester; corresponding and recording secretary, Mrs. Lena Trent Gordon, Philadelphia; treasurer, Mrs. Maud B. Coleman, Harrisburg, chaplain, Rev. J. M. Wheeler, Pittsburgh; sergeant-at-arms, Edgar A. Still, Reading; official reporter, Arthur W. Lynch, Philadelphia. In the Squared Arena (Preston News Service.) And now comes the report from distant eastern centers that Jess Willard, big, gawky and 40 years of age, is to meet Jack Dempsey in a match for the heavyweight supremacy. It appears to be just another subterfuge to waylay and sidetrack the Willis-Dempsey special which is racing forward to a fight of international proportions, with the pulse of the public on the throttle. Who wants to see the big Kansas City dub in action? All that he ever had to remind one of a champion is his size. And Willard, himself, has admitted that he doesn't believe that there is anyone who can whip Dempsey in the ring. But he gives as his excuse that he wants a chance to redeem himself before the public. Think of it! He has never been in the good graces of the public, in the first place, he only won one bout of any consequence and that one was from wily Jack Johnson down in sunny Cuba. Victory Tainted by Rumors. People of the race will never forget that battle, when the famous globetrotter, escaping this country with the long arm of the law reaching out to grab him, traveled to Spain, France, Mexico and sundry other foreign countries before he gave himself up. And the fact that he was travelling so fast with the heavyweight belt dangling from his side proved a thorn in the flesh of his numerous white enemies. So a match was finally trumped up in Cuba. It took Willard twenty-five long rounds to knock out the soggy, overweight Johnson; and at the time, the clever champion was nothing but a shell of his former self. Johnson had just come through a wild period in which, it is reported, wine, women and song played no small part. Be that as it may, Willard finally won and the American sporting public went crazy. But when unsavory rumors of a fixed match began trickling back to this country the gullible public, as quick to "razz" as to praise, demanded that Willard show some more action. He complied. The result was a quick knockout by Dempsey at Toledo. Dempsey was fighting everyone until he won the belt. Then he suddenly went into his shell and with his manager, the two Jacks formed a perfect relay team, and they are the men with Strictly First-class, We Foods and Pastry Give u Strictly First-class, Well-seasoned, Home-cooked Foods and Pastry Served at All Hours.

Harry Wills, so the rumor goes, will not go abroad for the simple reason that he has heard from reliable sources that the Utah mauler is to return to this country soon, possibly May 20. However, the Brown Panther from New Orleans and New York, relentless in his pursuit for a chance at the title, will not be denied. It is claimed he will hound Dempsey until the latter is forced to meet him. Wills made the startling announcement last week that he would meet Lewis, Carpentier and Beckett in one ring, all in the same night, and dispose of each one within four rounds. All of which goes to show that Wills really means business and is going to pursue Dempsey and finally force him through adverse public comment, to meet in the ring. WATCHMAN HELD FOR COURT AFTER SHOOTING Prisoner Says Men He Fired on Were Trespassing. (Preston News Service.) Pittsburg, Pa., May 10.—George Bailey, a special watchman for the Wainwright Coal Company, was held for court last Tuesday morning on a charge of pointing and discharging firearms. Bailey claims that the men were trespassing on the company's property and refused to get off when ordered to do so. However, there are no signs posted on the property against trespassing, and upon the admission by Bailey that he had fired at the men, he was held for court by Magistrate Gallagher. FISK JUBILEE SINGERS AT MASS MEETING. (Preston News Service.) Nashville, Tenn., May 8.—The Fisk Jubilee Singers and the male quartet from Fisk University appeared on the program at the great mass meeting in Ryman's Auditorium Thursday night as a part of the celebration of Boys' Week. The hall was filled to capacity and the numbers rendered by the singers met with great favor. BULLOCK REPORTED TO HAVE LEFT CANADA LOAN OF $5,000,000 TO LIBERIA REPUBLIC IS VOTED BY HOUSE. Bitter Fight Develops as Chairman Fordney Assails Woodrow Wilson. Washington, May 10.—Loan by the United States of $5,000,000 to the Republic of Liberia was authorized in a resolution passed tonight by the House. The vote was taken after the House had defeated a motion to recommit the resolution to the ways and means committee with instructions to report it forthwith with an amendment providing that no part of the amount loaned should be used in paying the indebtedness of Liberia incurred prior to Aug. 1, 1914. The resolution was passed, 148 to 139, with six members voting present. The motion to recommit was defeated, 168 to 123. About forty Republicans voted against the bill, although many Republicans in and around the chamber did not vote. The Democrats opposed it solidly.

Henderson of Yolo, Calif., has purchased a lot in East Woodland and is now erecting a nice little bungalo on it. Miss Sadie Clay, the daughter of Mr. Walter Clay, of Esparto, was awarded a beautiful medal in a short story contest in the Esparto high school. Miss Clay is a very bright girl and we are quite proud of her. L. O. Gaither, who has been on the sick list since January 28, 1922, is still improving. He was here a couple of weeks ago and taking a week's treatment at the Woodlawn Sanitarium, which proved quite beneficial to him; and would have stayed longer but on account of illness of his wife he had to return home to Esparto. She had a severe attack of heart trouble but is able to be out again. H. H. Williams, the son of Mrs. L. Williams of this city, and a rancher of the Cappy Valley district, committed suicide at Brodrick, Sacramento County, California, April 28th. His remains were brought here for burial; his funeral was held at the Krellenberg undertaking parlor May 1st, with the Rev. J. T. Muse officiating. It is said that in a quarrel with his lover (white) at her home he shot and killed her instantly, then going to the room of his lover's brother, fired two shots at him, one glancing his neck and the other through the hand, then turning the revolver on himself, shooting himself in the head. So the brother was the only one to tell the tale, which was accepted by the court. The deceased was thirty-four years of age, and leaves to mourn his loss a loving mother, three brothers, a divorced wife, and other relatives and friends.

Denver is proving a fertile field for band of Negro crooks and confidence men who have made their appearance here in the past ten days. Last Saturday noon Mrs. Elsie Carr of 756 Elm street, who by years of thrift and industry had saved up a neat sum of money, fell a victim to the sharpers through operation of the old, old, "finding a wallet trick. Mrs. Carr lost $1,000 in about ten minutes time, which, according to her own statement, she had been ten years in saving. This money came so easy that the crooks were encouraged to further activity and on Monday Mrs. A. J. Craig of 2537 Curtis street, and a well known Denver woman, was caught by the same worn-out trick, presumably by the same two men, for $120. However, Mrs. Craig had the good fortune to locate them a short time after at the Union station and pointed them out to the police with the result that one of the accused men is now held in jail. The other made good his escape. Again early Tuesday morning a Negro giving his name as Willie Street, was caught in the act of burglarizing a home at 3022 West Fourteenth avenue. The COLORADO STATESMAN is no respecter of criminals and a Negro thief is just as hurtful to the peace and safety of the community as a white one. However, it strikes us as more than singular that any person who possesses the thrift to save a sum of money should be so eager and ready to entrust it to rank strangers. There are many worthy institutions in the city that would enjoy an endowment of this character if one feels that they just have to rid themselves of their savings. Our parting word to all is, beware of Negro sharpers. The city is fairly infested with them. MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN OF DENVER BRANCH TO BE GREATEST IN ITS HISTORY. At a meeting of the executive committee, line officers and workers of the Denver branch N. A. A. C. P. last Saturday night, the reports showed that Denver is certain to go over the top in meeting the quota assigned it by the national office. A grand total of $908.32 was reported and the workers are confident that the thousand dollar mark would be easily passed during the present week. Mrs. Mildred Westbrook, as colonel in command, has surrounded herself with an able body of workers, consisting of Mr. J. P. Perkins, J. C. Cooper, J. W. Levell, Fred Clements, Emmett Williams and Mesdames M. L. Elliston, Carrie McChain, Leona Barber, Jessie Roy, Myrtle Wallace, Lillie Burton, Ida De Prel, L. M. Froman, M. Flora Stell, C. N. Pitt and R. B. Anderson. In addition to these many of the women's clubs and most of the fraternal organizations of the city have contributed handsomely to the drive, Arapahoe lodge of Odd Fellows being the latest to send in a check for $10. The response of the white citizens has been marvelous. Most of the churches have put on special services to aid the campaign and Shorter choir has most happily responded to every call made upon it. There can be no doubt that this will be the greatest year in the history of the branch and every Denver Negro should enlist. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. Plans are rapidly maturing for the big "circus" which will be staged in the City Bath House gymnasium, Twentieth and Curtis streets, next Wednesday evening. The participants are practicing every afternoon, and from all indications the affair will be a complete and an unqualified success. It is the first time anything of the kind has been staged by our people. Major Webster of Australia and Africa gave a most interesting and instructive talk last Sunday afternoon on observations and experiences in East Africa, and told of the great work Max Yerger, the colored "Y" secretary, is doing there. The major knows his subject like a book, and not a single moment is dull while he is telling the story. Preparations are also being perfected for the annual field day and outing at Rocky Mountain lake on Decoration day. Prizes are already arriving for the "bike" races, and boys are already being trained for the events. Owing to the fact that tomorrow (Sunday) is Odd Fellows' day, the usual Sunday meeting will be abbreviated. A good program will be rendered. And a Mothers' day program on Sunday, the 14th. THE DENVER GLEE CLUB. General opinion from the critical and very appreciative audience that attended the concert and farce of the Denver Glee Club held at Zion Thursday, April 27, endorsed the already established fact that this organization fills a very desirable and commendable role in our community. Messrs. Liggins and Watson, director and accompanist, came in for much praise for their parts, and special mention was given to the entire group of men, and Mr. Velaurez Spratlin, who assisted in solo work. Manager Samuel Bondurant was again efficient in his position.

A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE DENVER COLORED CIVIC ASSOCIATION is called for Wednesday evening, May 17, at 8:15 p. m., at Odd Fellows' Hall, to receive the report of the nine directors for the Denver Colored Civic Building Association who were appointed by the president, Thos. Campbell, by authority of the association at the last regular meeting. The directors so named met on Wednesday at 8:15 p. m. and organized. Mr. Titus S. Rector acting as temporary chairman and Mr. O.

Westbrook, vice president of the Board. Mr. O. L. Lawson, secretary. Mr. Charles A. Burton, treasurer. Mr. S. E. Cary, attorney for the Board. The election of officers of the Board was by unanimous vote, evidencing a strong feeling of confidence, co-operation and determination upon the part of all the members of the Board. After the adoption of the Certificate of Incorporation a committee of three, Campbell, Cary and Lawson, were named to draft a constitution and bylaws for the association and present the same to the association on Wednesday evening, May 17, for final action. After some remarks by the members of the Board the meeting adjourned. Every member of the association is urgently requested to be present on Wednesday evening, May 17, at the hall. REUNION OF STATES AT SHORT ER CHURCH. THURSDAY NIGHT last saw the bringing together of natives from Missouri, Kansas and Texas 5.7 the Taka Art Club in one of the most unique and humorous entertainments given in Denver in a long time. The program rendered was also of high order, and mention must be made of the vocal solo by Mr. Brown, a reading by Mrs. U. P. Jackson, and some selections by the mixed quartet consisting of Mesdames Moore and Gatewood and Messrs. Wilson and Gatewood. The state of Texas was represented by Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook; Missouri presented Geo. W. Gross, and Kansas presented Atty. S. E. Cary. It was a most interesting contest and the large crowd enjoyed the witty jibes and references of the speakers.

Church, and a member of the Executive Committee of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; Dr. J. H. Dillard, president of the John F. Slater Fund and of the Anna T. Jennes Foundation, and Dr. John Hope, president of Moorehouse College, met in the board room of the Carnegie Library of Howard University, Tuesday, April 25, to decide upon the award of the medal for the current year. The medal last year was awarded to Dr. W. E B. Dubois for his work in establishing the Pan-African Congress. It is given each year to the man or woman of African descent and American citizenship, who during the year shall have made the highest achievement in any field of human endeavor. The announcement of the award will be made at the annual meeting of the National Association for Advancement of Colored People to be held at Newark, New Jersey, in June. SIX MEN INJURED IN WRECK.

I can see them, hear them as they meet in their legislative assemblies to write the law; I see the seamed faces. I hear the rough words, as one by one they write the statutes that insure liberty and education to their children. They, the founders, call to us through the mists of the past. There shall be no sectarian instruction in our free schools, imposing upon the minds of our children doctrines and dogmas distasteful to them; neither shall there be in the name of that liberty we prize above possessions and within the walls of these free schools we have established any insidious undermining of that reverence for God and His inspired word which through all the tribulations of frontier life we have found the only safe rule of life and conduct, upon which we seek to protect from the sneer of the one who "in his heart has said there is no God." May we heed this call, hear its message and carry it with us through the years. Things Often Overlooked Yet at the Bottom of Many Farmers' Troubles Here are some things that are often overlooked and yet are at the bottom of many a farmer's troubles. Many farms are too small to be profitable, owing to the fact that the outlay for equipment, buildings, insurance, etc., is as large on 80 acres as on 160 or 200 acres. Crop yields should be much larger per acre, and often the extra ten or twenty bushels represent the profit above cost of production. Too much of the live stock on farms is of the scrub variety, which means a low return on live stock investment. Addition of limestone, crop rotation with legumes, and the use of proper fertilizers will on most farms mean larger yields per acre, and the use of pure bred sires in all branches of live stock will mean a better grade of beef and pork at lower cost of production and higher prices for breeding stock. Poor management in regard to labor, both horse and man, is found many times. Failure to do the odd jobs in slack times means delay in the busy season. Unnecessary machinery, carelessness, and waste are other factors which spell defeat. ```markdown ``` The Formula for Making Boys and Girls That Are Fit to Live With The formula for making boys and girls that are fit to live with is as well understood by sociologists as the making of soap by manufacturers; the formula must be extended to the vast majority of America's youth, instead of to but the favored few. First comes supervised play—team and antagonistic play. It establishes the child in facile co-operation with his fellow and teaches him self-control and how to keep his temper. A good sportsman is a valuable pattern. Next comes co-operation in school work, the co-operative investigation of subjects, and the fitting together of results. After this, the establishment of ideals. The boy scout movement is a clever example of this. It rivets ideals of conduct to the boy's instincts of outdoor life. Ideals should be established by the examples of great men—Lincoln, Washington, William the Silent. Religion is the crown of the formula. Discipline, ideals, association with great men, are not enough. Religion furnishes a philosophy of goals. It gives a comprehensive outlook upon life. It should come to the child at the age of seventeen or eighteen. Rule of the Soviet Has Brought to Russia Danger of Peaceful Germanization The present government in Russia is just dragging itself along, and remains in power for the simple reason there is no one else to whom the rule may be passed. But it is bound to fall—how soon no one may say at this time. The ultimate result of the revolution will probably be the splitting up of Russia into a number of small states. If this happens, it is eventually possible these states would be bound together by some sort of union. Under the rule of the soviet the youth of Russia has degenerated mentally, physically and morally. As a result of the war and the revolution, the great intellectual leaders and the educated classes have vanished. To whom, then, must Russia turn for teachers for her schools? To Germany, of course. There is the great danger to Russia and to the entire world, for trade and commerce will follow such an intellectual invasion, and the peaceful Germanization of all Russia will be complete. The present Russian government should not be recognized by the allies and trade relations with it should not be resumed. That would be a terrible mistake. How can any government guarantee its citizens proper commercial protection in dealing with a government which cannot even protect its own citizens in their private property? INTERNATIONAL The men who founded the University of North Dakota were largely the same as those who six years thereafter established the state, adopted our constitution and enacted the main body of our laws. I am speaking now with all sincerity and on behalf of the fathers and mothers of our state, builders of the commonwealth who still share the faith of their fathers. It seems I can see and hear these stern pioneers of the prairie state we love.

Another Explanation of Lost Continent of Atlantis. Students of History Are Coming to the Belief That There May Be Basis of Truth. A story of the perhaps authentic continent of Atlantis has recently appeared from the pen of Scott Elliot—that submerged land in which interest is heightened by the fact that so little is really known about it. The present writer tells us that several colossal geologic catastrophes took place prior to the Christian era—some between 200,000 and 800,000 and the most recent, 9,564 years before the drama of Calvary. At these several periods the form of the seas and continents was modified, water taking the place of land and vice versa. The traditional deluge conforms to the last of these hypotheses, which is also the basis of the legend of the lost city of Ys. It explains, moreover, the confused memories of certain ancient peoples relative to a large island lying beyond the Pillars of Hercules, our modern Gibraltar. Plato, and others before him, spoke of the invasion of Greece by a people from a distant land. There were gold-covered temples in this land and wonderful orchards and forests, and its inhabitants dwelt in peace and prosperity under the scepter of Neptune's descendants. But, it was related, this people fell into evil ways, so that Jupiter rolled the ocean over them, and all perished. These happenings, ignored by us, barely punctuate the mists that enshroud the hundreds of centuries that have come and gone; yet it is none the less true that human kind vaguely cherishes the belief in these gigantic earth movements concerning which so many suppositions have been advanced. Diodorus of Sicily mentions the hypothesis of a violent disturbance in the Mediterranean, which, traveling through the straits of Gibraltar, overwhelmed Atlantis beyond. Is this all dream stuff? Is there no basis of truth in these strange legends? Who would attempt a denial in the face of Mr. Elliot's evidence? Whence came the wonderful tales of flourishing countries and splendid cities forever covered by the waves? It is easy to appreciate the attraction offered the imaginations of poets, novelists and philosophers by the mystery of Atlantis. Plato made it the subject of a magnificent narrative, which, in turn, has supplied the plot of a beautiful present day poem by the Spanlard, Don Jacinto Verdaguer. Bacon, too, wrote of "The New Atlantis," city of scientists, where everything that could produce human genius found its focus and was preserved and brought to perfection. It is probable that we shall never know anything definite concerning this dream country in which superstitions sailors still believe, bending over the taffrail on dark nights to catch the distant ringing of water muffled bells in the drowned steeples far below. Ah, no; like enough we shall learn nothing more. No doubt that is why the story is so dear to us. Have Crooked Spines. Miss Margaret Major, physical director of women at the University of Pennsylvania, declares that half of the 200 freshmen coeds at the institution have developed some sort of curvature of the spine from sitting and standing carelessly. "They are accustomed to carry their books in their right hand," she says. "They rest on the right foot when they stop. That raises the right hip and raises the right shoulder and soon, without daily counteracting exercises, they have developed curvature." Sitting with the right leg crossed over the left likewise tends to the same effect, according to Miss Major. Sweet Things. Dr. George T. Harding, the President't father, discussed on his recent-wedding trip certain aspects of Germany's position. "When you console a German by telling him that his depreciated exchange allows him to undersell his rivals," said Dr. Harding, "he feels, I'm sure, like the young indy. "Jane says I paint—the horrid thing!" said this young lady to her chum. "Well, never you mind what Jane says," the chum consoled her. "If Jane had your complexion, she'd paint, too." No Time to Read They were passengers on a College car and were discussing some friends who had evidently not called recently. "We've been there twice," she said, "since they were at our house."

In one of the rose garden displays at the Indianapolis flower show, a beautiful sun dial, inscribed with Browning's "Grow old along with me, the best is yet to be," held a prominent place.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture) Perfect strawberry shortcake, made at home in the simple old-fashioned ‘way, is more tempting than the most elaborate concoctions of bakers or hotel chefs. “Biscuit shortcake, by all y means,” is the masculine verdict ; a lt- tle “shorter” than usual, perhaps, the housewife may decide, but otherwise simply biscuit dough, the lightest and best she knows how to produce, topped off with luscious whole berries, , whipped cream, teing, or egg whites. Double Instead of Split Biscuits. Individual shorteakes are attractive in appearance and easy to serve. The dough may be cut out with a very large biscuit cutter or made Into squares, Instead of splitting one large cooked biscuit, two thinner rounds of dough may be baked together, if the lower one is first buttered to enable the cook to slip them apart. The strawberries, after washing and hulling, may be cut in halves and sprinkled with sugar shortly before the biscuit dough is made. A few perfect whole berries should be saved to decorate the top layer. ‘The others should be merely cut, not crushed nor mutilated. Hull and trim a few at a time, drop for a moment only into a bowl of clean, cold water, so that the sand sinks to the bottom while the fruit } floats on top, then skim off into a colander to drain dry, If a whole quart of hulled berries is turned tnto .® pan of water some of the berries become soft and lose thelr fine flavor before the entire quantity can be rinsed and taken out. The sand from the upper ones often settles on those beneath, The same is true when any fruit or vegetable is merely put in a colander and thrust under running water, * Putting the shortcake together at serving-time is a matter of individual preference. The dessert will be ex- ‘cellent if it merely consists of the split, buttered biscuit covered in the center and on top with berries from + whieh the fragrant juice is beginning to spread.

Department of Agriculture Gives Di- rections for Proper Canning of Delicious Edible—Be Care- ful of Rubber Rings. (Prepared by tho United States Department of Agriculture.) Sweet white and large black cher- ries are usually canned unpitted, but acid cherries ordinarily are pitted be- fore canning. Uapitted cherries pre- sent a more attractive appearance, and many like the flavor the pit gives to the product. ‘The following direc- tions for canning this delicious fruit are given by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture: It cherries are to be canned whole, plunge them for 20 to 30 seconds in hot water. This prevents splitting. A sirup for sweet cherries may be made of 8% pounds of sugar to 4 quarts of water. Pack cherries, whether pit- ted or unpitted, to within one-half inch of top in Jars which have been boiled 15 minutes. Fill Jar with sirup and put on rubber, which has been for 15 minutes in a solution made from 1 tablespoonful of soda and 1 quart of boiling water. Remove top from water in which it boiled for 15 minutes and place on jar. Partially seal Jar, (With glass top can, put one bail in place. With serew top Jar, screw halfway on.) If steam-pressure cooker is used, place jurs In cooker and process quart jars 25 minutes. When a commercial ‘hot-water bath canner or a home-made one is used, pluce the jars (after partiuliy sealing) In the canner on a false bottom. Water should cover the jars. Do not start counting time until ihe water Is boiling. Process quurt ‘jars ror 20 minutes, When processing is finished, remove jars, complete seat- ying, test for leaks, and store in cool, cry place. If the Jar leaks, remove rubber and put on new wet one und _ process 15 minutes more. and are preferred by many who think the whipped cream too rich. Another method Is to use white cake icing, put- ting on each half of the cake first a layer of icing, then a layer of straw- berries, and last a generous coat of icing. Shortcake Not Merely a Dessert. Strawberry shortcake for breakfast, made with or without plain cream, makes a delicious variant of the or- dinary diet. With it should be served either a glass of milk or a dish of cot- tage cheese to make it a more com- plete meal. ‘This is an ideal break- fast or lunch for children, as well as a very satisfactory change for Sunday night supper. A shortcake of any description is so hearty a dessert that a somewhat lighter meal than usual should pre- cede it. When there is a scant por. tion of potato or rice, some recooked ‘meat to use up, or a meatless meal to consider, strawberry shortcake is an appropriate dessert. It should never be planned as the end of a long, heavy dinner, when the appetite has been fully satisfied before the sweet course is reached, Any good biscuit rule may be used ‘The recipes given below have been tested by food specialists of the United States Department of Agricul ture: Biscuit Dough for Shortcake. 1 pint flour, 23 to 34 cupful 4 teaspoontuls bak- milk. ing powder. 4 to 6 tablespoonful: % teaspoonful salt. fat.

The skirt portion has three wide bands of organdle, bound with a checked pattern in organdle, set on, and this same binding finishes the neck and sleeves. A similar band conceals the joining of the body and skirt. Colored cotton floss serves to make the needlework rings that are set on the sleeves and neck and they are used as a finish for the bands.
