"OLE MISS" WINS LYNCHING PENNANT In mentioning, in last week's issue, how nice Santa Claus was to the conductor of this department during the winter season, we mention cards and gifts tended to us by friends. Since that article was written we have been invited to our annual crate of turkeys from Dr. A. L. Hunter of Santa Fe, Santa Fe National Park, Santa Fe and made its advent unimus one of the birds. However, we have placed the turkeys in our company, to either find this missing fowl or tender us the equivalent in a gift. True to a promise made us during one of his visits to Houston prior to the holiday, we Colonel Kohler had a turkey that we made, capitalist, promoter and financier, choice turkeys of Limestone County. The colonel, who sustained an injury in the accident, and expects to be back on the job is slowly recovering from the aches and expects to be back on the job. We always knew our pastor's extraordinary culinary artist and home economics expert, but a box of tweets from the reverend and his better-half, made by the latter, was indeed a confection and satisfied our "sweet goodbye" and tickled our palate as no beautifully, and satisfied our "sweet goodbye," bought our over door. If Paster Burdett and officials of upkea's novel method to increase church attendance at their house of worship, we should share the supplies and permit Mrs. Burdett to manufacture some of this fabric for members for two or three services.

Segrega ion Strikes Snag In Michigan MICHIGAN SUPREME COURT HANDS DOWN FAR-REACHING DECISION; SEGREGATION LAW HELD INVALID Lansing, Michigan.—The Michigan Supreme Court has handed down an important and far-reaching opinion that will be viewed with interest by Negroes throughout the country, it being to the effect that restrictions made against the sale of property to Negroes in account of color were invalid. This decision is particularly important in view of the widespread nature of the rule. The rule made Negroes from so-called white residential districts by inserting clauses in contracts forbiding the sale of the property to anyone not of the Caucasian race. By this decree on the part of the supreme court, all contracts are void in the State of Michigan. While this opinion is favorable to the colored citizens of Michigan and the country, it is pointed out that the decision does not touch upon the occupancy of premises on which restrictions have been placed, which has been the bone of contention in the many cases throughout the country. The suit in question brought about by the Supreme Court on the appeal of the court of Justice, Muskegon, has brought the plaintiffs. Justices Fellows, in writing his opinion, say, "We must bear in mind that the rule is not a law, and the rule is not on the use of premises. Such restraints, unless otherwise stated, have been made against the property of the same white, who in turn sold it to the Barretta. The contracts in both cases specified that the property should not be sold to any one of the same or of the same lots and all improvements reverting to the real estate concern. Upon the fact that the rule was amended in 1880, the court of Justice was to order and Wyman immediately brought a contract on SALE of premises to one suit in the circuit court and a verdict in the court of Justice, which was engraved in the sale of in- LEGAL DEFENSE FUND OF NAACP PASSES $50,000 New York City.—The Legal Defense Fund being raised by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has reached the sum of $55,761.59, according to recent announcement; this figure including $15,000 now due from the Garland Fund and $1,000 promised by Julius Rosenwald of Chicago, Large recent gifts to the fund include $2,000 raised in a mass meeting under the auspices of the Boston Branch of the N.

ANNUAL RESUME SHOWS New York City — The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, has issued a summary of its annual report for the year 1925, showing the most successful effort in the entire history of the association. The summary stresses the fact that segregation has been made a national issue confronting the entire American people, and that colored people throughout the United States have been united in this fight as in no other except the fight to end raciality. The N. A. A. P. C. report deals with the following subjects: (1) Segregation; (2) the "white primary" fight in Texas and other cases of discrimination; (3) legal defense; (4) reintroduction of a revised Dyer anti-blanching bill in congress; (5) release of 230th Infantry publicity and branch organization; (7) Ku Klux Klan and miscellaneous. 1. Segregation—During the year the N. A. A. C. F. met the issue of residential and other segregation, believing it to be perhaps the most important issue with which colored Americans have to deal. Accordingly a segregation case arising in Washington, where white property owners were the sole益者, were a sale of their property to colored people has been carried before the U. S. Supreme Court where it will be argued early in January. Another case arising in Louisiana, will also be carried before the Supreme Court and cases have been fought in the following cities: Los Angeles and Oakland, California; Denver, Baltimore, Detroit, St. Louis, Brooklyn, N. Y., St. Louis, New York, New York, and Boston. A brown, colored postman, was backed up in standing his ground against efforts to cult him from his home and is now suing his white neighbors for $10,000; Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Falls Church, Roanoke, and Norfolk, Va. In Cleveland, by court action the board of education of Shaker Heights was compelled to abandon the exclusion at colored children from the school. School cases were filed in Philadelphia, Indianapolis, and Dayton. 2. "White Primary" and Discrimination—Disfranchising of colored voters by a "white primary" law in Texas is being carried on appeal from the federal courts in that state to the U. S. Supreme Court and N. A. A. C. F. attorneys are confident of the outcome of the case. If the case is won, it will be a decisive blow against disfranchisement throughout the South. Discrimination in the process of the first election at a University of Michigan, and at a Chicago motion picture theatre, where a $2,000 verdict was obtained. 3. Legal Defense—The case of Dr. and Mrs. Ossian H. Sweet of Detroit, and nine other defendants charged with murder for defending Dr. Sweet's home from a mob on September 9, became a focus both for the segregation and the legal defense work of the N. A. A. C. P. Partly through this case, the association was enabled to go before the country and appeal for aid, receiving magnificent support from the colored press and colored people throughout the land, with the result that a $50,000 legal defense fund was completed in December and the goal advanced to $65,000, by reason of the second trial of the Sweet case, scheduled for early in 1926. The jury disagreement in the first trial was regarded as a result of the efforts to segregate. The first trial of the Sweet case cost $21,938.69. Other cases fought during the year include: the case of Luther Collins of Texas, convicted of assault, whose sentence was changed after a third trial from death to 99 years, the case being now again appealed by the Houston branch; the case of Oswald Durant, a senior at Maharry Medical College of Nashville, sentenced to life imprisonment for alleged assault, who has been released under bond after reversal of the lower court's decision by the State Supreme Court; the case of William Spencer, sentenced to death for criminal assault in Virginia, for whom a stay was granted three days before the date set for his execution, when strong evidence was brought that the victim was a victim of the�raceuticals and bad died of natural causes; and numerous other cases, many of them handled by the various branches of the N. A. A. C. P. 4. Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill-A new bill, thoroughly revised by members of the national legal committee of the N.A.A.C.P., especially Mr. Herbert K. Stockton of New York, has been introduced in the house of representatives by Representative L. C. Dyer and in the senate by Senator William McKinley of Illinois. During the 1940s, Mr. Dyer was the only president as against 16 last year, Mississippi leading with 6, Florida second with 3, and Georgia third with 2. 5. 24th Infantry—Thirteen former members of the 24th Infantry, whose cases the N.A.A.C.P. has been fighting since the Houston race riot, have beenरेडितरोंने मरी शर्मा मरी शर्मा से कहा है। 1225, leaving in prison only 22 out of the original 55 prisoners. Of the 13 men released during the year, three had originally been sentenced to death and all the others to life imprisonment. Publicity and Branches-The Association sent out upwards of 480 releases or an average of 1.3 press stories for every day in the year, receiving thousands of feet of space in colored newspapers and editorial and news space in white newspapers from the 1940s to 1950s. There were no Branches-The Association, in space, to Texas. All records for space were broken during the 16th annual conference in Denver, a Ku Klux Klan city, where the local dallies gave more than 50 feet of space to the N.A.A.C.P. proceedings. Robert W. Bagnard, the director of the National Association, has the 388 branches of the association that have done better during 1925 than ever before. They have conducted important fights against segregated schools, denial of franchise, residential segregation and denial of civil rights. They have served as members of the National Association of methods and a unity of purpose. The financial record of the branches has been, by far, the best in their history. They have paid $40,102.10 on their apportionment, many branches going far beyond their national意义, and have sent the association for all purposes, the sum of $68,193.52. 7.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, JANUARY 9, 1926 PENN OARSMEN TO FACE REAL TEST Two Important Events Only Two Days Apart. The hardest schedule of any college in the United States has been arranged for the University of the State of New York. It will be a severe test for the new college, Fred Sprague, head of the university's Washington intercollegiate championship crews, who are introducing Penn vault crews are entered in six races, according to the tentative schedule. Penn vault crews will row in five each. Two of the events will be only two days each, on May 20, and the American Henley on May 31. The first time any college vault crew will attempt to row in two legatts in less than two minutes will be beaten by Princeton and the American Henley on the Schuylkill. We have built up a splendid reputation for sportsmanship" and Mr. Brown. "They have entered in the national championship and do not want to miss any opportunity next season. I could not not criticize the American Henley, but the fact that we have an important race two days before. We feel that the American Henley is the most important events of the year, and we want to land our help keeping up the prestige of that one." "I ifarmen are in proper condition, I don't think it makes any difference whether he is a Penn or Syracuse student outcome of the two races will be watched with interest." In the American Hockey is likely to be a major event, the teams will be Penn and Syracuse. It also is probable, however, that the Penn Athletic club senior sight will take part in this event. Joe Wright, formerly coach at Pennsylvania, recently accepted he will attempt to win the trophy which he heretofore has been held only by college coaches.

(President by the National Government No. Haiti. Black Republic of the Caribbean, is richer in problems than anything else. To understand something of these problems, it is necessary to glance at the country's location, conditions, and resources, and to peep into her history. few followers proclaimed himself king on president or general, recruited him and carry, and set out on a carve of conquest. At first the magnificent homes and palatial villas of the former French landowners of rich land, but when all of these had been sucked and burned, nothing of value remained. Haiti's history has been remarkable and full of dramatic interest. Physiologically, Haiti is unmistakely united with her sister republic of Santo Domingo, the second island of the Great Antilles, the second island of the Caribbean, "spin" while Cuba lies about 50 miles across the Windward passage to the Republic's eastern boundary is made up of a series of rivers and hills, beyond which lies Santo Domingo, the second farther to the east lies Porto Rico. Haiti has an area of about 10,400 square miles, being about one-fourth the size of the island, in nearly twice the size of the settles. The twin republic, Santo Domingo, which occupies the remainder of the island, in nearly twice the size of the settles. Situated in the lap of the tropics, Haiti possesses every natural advantage required to make her a treasured destination. The plains near the seacont alluvial soil of immense depth and richness brings Haiti to the forefront of village, crops of wonderful bounty. Sugar cane, cotton and cocoa are produced in abundance, while White Haitian coffee is known to epicure the world over for its richness and flavor. Cocoa beans are grown wild, and naturalists declare that more than seventy-five food plants, cereals legumes, etc., flourish in the hilly plateau of the interior, vegetation of a different sort is encountered. Wheat, rye, barley, oats, millet, sorghum, and grasses on the mountains, some of which reach an altitude of nearly ten thousand feet, flourish extensive timber, iron, coal, copper, and other minerals have been found in quantities which promise to pay richly for work-horse agriculture. Cocoa quassards the gold and silver mines of the island are said to have yielded to the viveroy of the Spanish king John I, and are precious metals in a single year. Rich as the island is in material wealth, it is even richer in history and tradition. Here Columbus landed and here, in what is now Santo Domingo city, he pined in prison, and here, after his death, his bones were brought to be buried in the soil of the new world which he had discovered. Here Pizarro and Cortez ruffled in the streets before they set out to carve new empires for Spain out of Peru and Mexico, and here the capital of New Spain waxed and prospered in learning and culture. Then came stormy days. All through the Sixteenth century English baccanears, ravaging the Spanish Main, harassed its commerce and harried its cities. French freebooters came also, forming a practical settlement on the tiny Tortuga Island just off the coast, from which they erupted about 1630, driving the Spaniards from the part of the island which is now Haiti and also from most of what is now Santo Domingo, until in 1770, by formal treaty, France obtained the whole of the island. Negro State Founded. Toward the close of the Eighteenth century disorders arising out of the revolution in France and its attendant wars shook the island, weakening the whites, until at length the negro slaves arose and with indescribable atrocities wiped out almost the entire white population. A republic was proclaimed and a President was elected. His first act was to appoint a new President, Port au Prince. Not to be outdone, another agger leader in the north proclaimed himself king in Capitol Haven, eight dukes, including a duke of Lunenburg, thirty-seven barons, and other lesser lights, all colored relatives of the king. From that time, retrogression to the present followed in natural steps. Social disintegration continued until the end of the war, vanished, Bands of armed negroes roamed the countryside, pilgrimage and burning the city, and this army for himself and a few followers preclaimed himself king of president or general, recruited him to the army, and set out on a career of conquest. At first the magnificent homes and palatial villas of the former French king, all of which had beenacked and burned, nothing of value remained, and as the palatial had to be fed, the upkeep had to be continued, all of these had beenacked and burned, those of their own race who, after the upkeep, had chosen to continue to live as they had lived under the French. The men robbed them soon reduced them to ruin and despair. The men who possessed the necessary initiative and education removed to the island, where the rest left their fields and hid in the impenetrable fortresses of the hills. By their owners, the comfortable dwellings of, the island went to rock and weave. Weeds overgrew the cultivated lands, and in a few years the island, which had once produced magnificent crops, lapsed to the tropical climate, which had once produced many reed-breeding many years ago. In this carnival of barbarism religion also first places the place of Gannibalism and the black rites of voodoo magic of the African jungles were revived in all their horror, and the sacrifice of children of animals to the mumbo jumbos of the local wizards was practiced in the appropriate seasons. Poisoning and praying to death became the mode, and missionaries to the islands report their belief that fully four-fifths of all the population are either active believers in or hold in fear the spells of the witch doctors. So much for the interior. In the cities of the coast another condition prevailed. Here an element made up of the mulattoes and the more intelligent negroes ruled, and an attempt was made to keep up the forms of government and maintain order. By the trade which they carried on between the hinterland and the nations of Europe and North America, certain families waxed rich and prosperous. Continues of such families would get together, "direct" *Pierre*, wife of the president, as long as she could attend, and fill all public offices with their supporters. Then their interest in the government would be formed, which in turn would propose some new "liberator" or the republic, *Rieber* robbie banda *rats*, practical and charming, and dent at that time in office, and install the new hero. Then the whole performance would start anew, practical and charming, and dent at that time in office. After 1953 the open season on Presidents became more open than ever, and the process of revolutions of the nation of the United States occurring which brought about the landing of the American forces in 1915. **What Name!

The information has no particular fuss or wrangle, per se, to with the Majestic theatre management regarding this discriminatory policy, as it relates to and operates upon and against people; for the theatre belongs to them and they know or should know their business. It has a strange and unusual departure, and such a flagrant violation of its established custom and policy—since colored patrons have always been accorded decent and respectable consideration from this particular playhouse—that The Informer finds it difficult to understand why this discriminatory policy is being applied by the local management of this theatre at this late date. While no cause or reason has been publicly stated or announced, rumor has it that colored people attended in such small numbers of Saturdays and Sundays that the management found itself losing interest in them, and that they were not nights on these same occasions hundreds of white patrons were compelled to stand or remain from the show because of insufficient seats. This may or may not be true, but regular colored patrons of the Majestic theatre declare this contention to be both unheard and unheard. It has often been difficult for colored theatre-goers to find seats in the section reserved for our people; so that the lack of patronage argument does not seem to hold much water. IF THE MAJESTIC THEATRE MANAGEMENT DOES NOT DESIRE COLORED PATrons OF SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS, THEN WEUR PEOPLE MUST BE DESIRED TO ATTEND THEATRE ON THE THEATRE ON CONSIDER THAT ANY THEATRE OR THAT ONLY DESIRES OUR PATRONAGE CASIIONS DOES NOT DESERVE NOR PATRONAGE AND SUPPORT ON ANY OF IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS A HARD MATTE PEOPLE, AND SO MANY QUEEN CAN M KNOW.

SELAH! TEXAS DESERTED LYNCHING LOOP IN 1925! According to lynching statistics compiled by the department of records and research at Taskeege Institute, Tuskegee, Alabama, sixteen persons were victims of this celebrated American pastime during the 1920s. According to records compiled by the department of records and research of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, New York City, there were eighteen instances of lynching. However, one is a gritty feature connected with both reports, though they differ in the number of lynchings, viz: Texas deserted the lynching league during the 1925 season, though the state won the championship of a few seasons. In 1924 Florida won the lynching league pennant, with Mississippi and Georgia tied for second place; while Texas brought up the year with only one lynching, giving a perennial pennant in Judge Lynds' loop, with a perennial lost ground during 1925 and led the league with 6 lynchings, thereby capturing the championship of the mobocratic circuit for last year; while Florida finished second with three lynchings and Georgia third, with two, according to the report of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, during the 1925 season (states) tied for second place in the 1925 flag race with two lynchings each. While there seems to be some little dispute about the occupant of the 1925 lynchings league race, "Ole Mills" holds undisputed claim to the championship! For the first time since the civil war the escutcheon on the Lone Star State was not blotted and disgrigated by a lynching demonstration, which shows that successful progress has been made in lynching. However, there are several states in the republic worse than Texas in this respect. The Informer, while dutiful the face, hats our great country recorded sixteen or eighty lynchings during 1922, is delighted in the fact that, Texas withdrew from the lynching league during the Civil War, and that this state has permanently given up its birth in said circuit. The first annual conference of the South Texas division of the Texas Association of Negro Musicians, met in open session Friday morning at Antioch Baptist Church. The session was opened by singing the Negro national hymn, "Lift Every Voice and Sing." After devotion by district president, Mrs. W. M. D. Sledge, welcomes the new confidant, behalf of the local clubs by Mrs. B. J. Covington and on behalf of the citizens by Mrs. M. E. B. Isaac-Robertson; same being responded to by the state president, Mrs. S. H. Fowler. Negro spirituals, "I Know the Lord," and "Swing Low Sweet Charlot" were then suing. The song was written by an association discussion at length. It was stated that Texas is the only state in the union having a state association of Negro musicians. The afternoon was given largely to the discussion of standardizing music teachers in Texas, led by head of the music department of Prairie View State Normal, Mrs. Florence Chretien, who was the most necessary member of the driving the correct fundamentals in music from the beginning. She urged that pupils to taught to appreciate music through music study clubs and studio recitals. Mrs. P. O. Smith, local music teacher and planet-directress of the Coleridge-Taylor Choral Club, emphasized the benefit of the music from heronious co-operation between teachers. The state president, Mrs. Fowler, then introduced a course of study for consideration which would stand for the music teaching in Texas. by J. Laura Green. The junior plane recital, conducted by M.P. O. F. Green, featured "Negro Musicians in the Field of Competition was very likely to be a success," chairman of Negro compassers' department.

Louisville, Ky.—Equality in school assessments and expenditures, enlarged opportunity for the higher education of colored youth and for the proper training of colored teachers, equitable administration of school funds, the consolidation and improvement of colored schools in thinly populated districts, with public transportation of pupils if needed, the opening of a public practice and training to be followed, doctors and nurses, and public provision for the proper care of fee-minded colored children, were among the important goals set by the interracial forces of Kentucky at the annual meeting in Louisville on December 11-12. It was decided to undertake a constitutional test of the existing school law, which permits separate assessments and to seek to enforce the provisions of the state constitution of which requires equality the expenditure of tax money. The matter of opening hospitals will be taken up also. The efforts of the executive committee and of Dr. James Bond, the state director, were highly commended and the belief was expressed that "distinct progress has been made in cooperation between the two races." Dr. Bond and the committee were consolidated especially on the generous share secured for colored institutions in recent schools bond issues of Louisville. The annual meeting was well attended and was addressed by many prominent people of both races, the major subjects being education and health. Among those taking part in the discussions were Dr. Jethro Handock of the state board of health, Dr. W. H. Ballard, Dr. James Letcher, Dr. W. J. Weston, Dr. J. A. C. Lattimore, Prof. L. N.

This exemplifies the new Christianism, which is more active philosophical than physical doctrine. Which, when you come to Chicago, is the number of Christian did. The Chicago has the following to say on "What Good is the Young Negro?" There was a time when some of us held high hopes for the young Negro. Just after the war he seemed to character and a high call of manhood to the war. This was however, the expression of a hope rather than an achievements. As a matter of fact one can count on the young Negro in any city where the young Negro is active social life of the community. The average young Negro is only 30 percent of the basketball game, or that general disdain of high life of the idle rich. "The idea of a new Negro should be a young Negro may have old reactionary ideas just as an older man may have old reactionary ideas.
