(By the Associated Negro Press.) Detroit, Mich.—"Not guilty!" was the verdict of the twelve jurymen in the Sweet case after a deliberation of about three hours. And Henry Sweet, charged with the murder of Leon Breiner, was a free man. Tears were in the eyes of nearly every one in the courtroom, including the legal champion of the Sweets. Clarence Darrow, again victor in his fight for the freedom of a man held in the chinchilla. Judge Murphy's warning against any demonstration of emotions upon hearing the verdict seemed to leave but one outlet for the expression of the joy of those who heard the verdict—tears and they flowed freely through smiles. Judge Murphy, Murphy denied the motion of the defense to deach a mistral due to prejudicial statements by Prosecutor Toms in his plea.

The purpose of this subtle approach of course was to try to contribute anything to try to contribute anything to the solution.

Because of famine in the land in Israel went into the country of the Philistines and moved him to call upon the Lord (Jas. 5:13).

The Lord permits envy and strife in the world in order to get his children separated from his family. Lord Isaac built an altar and called upon His name. As soon as a meeting took place, Lord Isaac built a carpent his cent there. Following this servant dug a well. No one use among the Philistines to get water. Isaac made a well and Abinoboe came desiring to make an alliance with him. He gifted influence by peacefully with the Philistines desired to enter into covenant relationship with him. The way to gain influence with the world is to withhold Noblest of All Victories For a man to conquer himself is the first and noblest of all Veltjes whereas it can be unbended by himself and most shameless of all things.

(Prepared by the National Geographic Society, Washington, D.C.) THE GREATEST engineering enterprise undertaken in the Near East during modern times is to build a new engineered near Saloniqi, Greece. Much of the Great Palm of Saloniqi, west and to the north of the city, is like the Roman campagna, a country of swamps and frequently flooded areas. The region has been the source of malaria due to the millions of mosquitoes which it breeds. Yet that portion of the region that is fertile, producing grain, cotton, and tobacco to perfection. The enterprise will consist in draining the sixteen million acres of plain from overflows by controlling several rivers, this work to cost between sixteen and seventeen million dollars. The Vardar river will be biddled at a cost of an additional ten million dollars to protect Saloniqi harbour from By the undertaking, the Greek government will itself be possessed of approximately 180,000 acres of land now subsumed by it, it is estimated, and the land or lands will be benefited by about $11,000 and will sell the taxes. The Salouki plain has been famous through the ages. This level region was the birthplace of Alexander was born. The devastating Macedonian phalanx there learned its lessons from the Ottoman Crusades and Pumpey fought their important battle. Xerxes crossed this plain with his huge army of Persians on the Caucasus and Pumpey fought the same road to meet the Romans. Salouki was later involved with the Mithidates traveled the same road to meet the Romans. Salouki was named the New Testament king. Paul labored there and had to flee for his host for four centuries. The empire controlled the port; and finally it fell to the Turk and remained under his host for four centuries. The city stands on rising ground at the head of a long gulf, shaped very much like the Mediterranean. The Phrygani cap, or what is perhaps more familiar to us as the liberty cap of the French Republic, is the open bay of the Bosphorus out in such a way that its inner sacra can never feel turbulent. The open bay of the Bosphorus whose three long promotions of Kandasra, Lengo and Athos are the most famous cities in the world are Aegean. The longer western side of the gulf sweeps in a curve of over 300 km up the peninsula of Thessaly. For the greater part of their course these spreading coasts are both high and low, the most notable of the Greek mainland is in particular notable because above it tower the three classic peaks of Olympus (4,600 feet), now known (6,400 feet), and Pelion or Fleshii (5,000 feet). The islands in the land, Salisbury is also happily reached. The city faces west and south, toward Macdonald and Thessaly, looking out into the sea. The innuary bay. The immediate edges of the bay are far hay, having been gradually leveled by the three rivers that pour into the water the final spurs of the Rhodeo mountains make an amphitheater which rises east of the city into three basins. On the north hill of Dabba Dabba reaches a height of 1,800 feet, whence the ground drows away into the plain. It is not surprising that a city so admirably placed whether for defense or temperature climates Aegae, and amply provided with the various sources of field, wood, and stone, the people of Saloni were to seem, and that its possession should often have been disputed. Founded by Kassander of Macedon. Competed to its two great neighbors, the city of Saloni is relatively a modern town. Founded originally as an Ionian colony, the place was first known as the city of Saloni, and springs which exist in that eastern district of the bay. The present town was founded about 300 B.C., and named after his wife, Thessalonike, half sister to Alexander the Great. The adjoining peninsula of Saloni grew into a kingdom, kings himself, who founded another city on its shore. Under the Roman, Saloni grew into a city, the capital of the surrounding city, it became the home of many Roman colonists, and not a few famous towns in the city. Clover lived for a time in exile. During the Byzantine period Saloni became the second city of the empire, and its capital of the Salian peninsula, and it rivaled Constantinople as a port of eastern Europe and Alexandria. Saloniki has been compared to Genoa. But one's first impression is of a disappointing fitness, not in the least comparable to the lofty air—the piled, bastioned, heaven-scaling air of the Italian city. Yet Saloniki scales heaven, too, in her more discreet manner. And there is even something faintly Italian about her. This is most palpable on the broad quay of the water front, especially when a veritable row of fishermen from the Adriatic are drying nets or sails under the sea wall, just as they do in Venice. The creest of white buildings facing the blue bay would not look foreign in any Rimini or Spezia. The White Tower, which is the most conspicuous of them, might have been the work of an Italian prince. What the People Are Likes. As for the people, a good many would pass without question. Just such slight and trim young men in Italy would sit at little tables on the sidewalk. Just such young women, rather pale and powdered as to complexion, rather dusky as to eyes and hair, would sit beside them. And you hear a good deal of Italian. But you hear more of other and less familiar languages. And those red fezzes are a new note. A more striking note is afforded by numerous dignified old gentlemen taking their ease in bathrobes, as it were, suit a little up the side and tied about the waist with a gay silk girdle. Over the bathrobe they usually wear a long, open coat lined with yellow fur, which guards them from the cold in winter and in summer from the heat. And none of them is without a string of beads, preferably of amber, dangling from his hand and giving him something to play with. A dozen different estimates of the population will be given an enquirer, varying according to the race of the informant; but they all agree on the point that Saloniki contains not far from 150,000 people, and that more than half of them are Jews. There is also a considerable Moslem population of Hebrew origin, mainly descended from the followers of Sabatlan Levi of Smyrna, a would-be Messiah of the Seventeenth century, who created a great stir in this part of the world, and who, being at last offered his choice between death and Islam, elected the latter.

Louisville, Ky.—After a week devoted to fake trials under the protection of 500 members of the Kentucky National Guard, Bunyan Fleming and Nathan Bard stand convicted of rape of 16-year-old Catherine Briethaupt, white, for which the sentence is hanging, and Columbus Hollis, 50-year-old alleged accomplice, convicted and sentenced to twenty years in the penitentiary. The jury deliberated in the case of Fleming for ten minutes, of Bard for eight minutes and of Hollis for four minutes. This was the third notorious trial Kentucky has offered for the study of America in the last three months. In two of the trials the suspect has been arrested in one of the case's first confirmed cases against one Ed Harris, accused of attacking and killing the members of a white family. Harris was rushed to trial under the protection of troops, armed with machine guns and tanks, and found guilty in 15 minutes. He has since been hanged. At the time of this so-called "legal lynching" the�, the� was said to have confessed to his crime. When Harris was hanged the white ruffians and farmers who sought his life bought seats to witness the gruesome spectacle. It was only a short time later when Charles Merchant, a white man, was released from the National Association of the American National Association for the Advancement of Coloradon, 1976, and the 17th National Association for the Advancement of Coloradon, 1976, plays the principal part. The Kentucky then woke up the puffed, Colored and unskilled men to use its influence to see that the men went to trial. The white and colored men get a fair trial, in Kentucky! Walter Press of the country looked out. He was not a lawyer from Hopkins, a new American law expert, but all he did, was to be found to be a lawyer of the association to defend the law of the country. He was not a firm man, but a Madisonville, prepared to investigate and to defend. What did they do and to defend? The following were uncontested. All around the N.C. Then comes Madisonville and the sorry tale of a 16-year-old white girl who was walking away from her miscarriage of justice at Loxington is not over before she plunges into a plosion. Fleming, Beld and Hollis are singled out as the guilty ones. Now white and black Kentucky and white girls are going to what is going to happen.

Walter Robinson, a brilliant young Negro lawyer from Hopkinsville, was retained by the association to defend the men. Warley and Robinson went to Madisonville, prepared to investigate and to defend. What did they find? Evidence of something wrong all around. The Negroes in the town were afraid of them. They went to the colored hotel or rooming house. The proprietor, becoming afraid, asked them to move. They went to the home of one of the Negro leaders of the town, whom they knew. What happened there? He was very sorry, he could not give them lodging, but did the best he could by taking them out of the town to a friend's home who did not know their mission in town and therefore was not afraid.

They feel languid, half-sick, "blue" and discouraged and think they are getting lazy.

Roscoe Conklin, the white lawyer, is not sure of himself. He has been asked to move from his hotel. He advises Robinson and Warley to leave the town; the situation is too tense. The men meet a Captain Barnes, in charge of soldiers. He advises them to leave and escorts them out the back of the hotel, the front of which they entered. Warley declares that Barnes was afraid as he walked to the station with him and Robinson, and urged that they not wait for the train, but take a bus. And what about the stories of the prisoners, Hollis is said to have confessed. The two other men charge he was paid to tell a story against them. How reasonable is the story. Warley claims that a deputy sheriff was caught giving money to Hollis. The deputy admitted doing so, but claimed that it was two dollars for Hollis to buy tobacco with. And Warley rightly exclaims "I deputy sheriff giving money because of such a crime, my money to buy tobacco with!" Warley again points out in bold type: "The young woman never did identify the men." But as Warley and Robinson fight they get under the skin of Kentucky's mock enforcers of the law and Warley and a brother newspaperman, I. Willis Cole, find themselves the targets of an attempted indictment. Warley finds it necessary to go to West Baden for his "health." The indictment was a scare. It will mean nothing. It did mean that Negro newspapers can do good, strong work in Kentucky. It did mean that effective long-range work can be done by Negro newspapers that will help to keep force a clarification of the maze in Kentucky.

"BLACK BILLY SUNDAY" ANSWERS REV. WHITE OUTH'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER Famous Evangelist Defends Association Auditing Committee WALLS MATERNITY TRAINING SCHOOL Room for Continuement—1501 Dumaine St. R. J. WALLS, President BARAH A. HENDERSON, 88cy-Treas. Homlock 1632 W. Homlock 1052 W. Editor The Houston Informer: New Orleans, La., May 17, 1926. Permit me to reply, through the columns of your great paper, to the open letter of "Parson Gene" White of Tulane Avenue Baptist Church, in which he attacked, in an open letter, the report of the auditing committee of the First District Missionary Baptist Association of Louisiana. Those who read this so-called attack on this old historic Baptist association, which has weathered the terrific gales and slanderous darts of those who have vainly sought to destroy the old Baptist ship for more than 63 years, emanating as it (the published attack which appeared in The Houston Informer under date of Saturday, May 8, 1926) did from the pen of that great pastor, the Rev. E. W. White of the old Tulane Baptist Church—have been shocked to think that a minister of the gospel can be both an eagle and a vulture at the same time, in the latter role swooping down and attacking men with whom he has trained during his few years in the Crescent City. Now, there must be a cause for such maddened method, yet I am not concerned in the reason or cause for this disagreement between these wearers of the clerical cloth; but an secretary of the auditing committee I take exception to the good doctor's strictures on the report. I am sure no man in the South takes him seriously when he says the committee that made the report, was not competent. I challenge the learned pastor, who delights to tell the public of the mald administration of the officials of the First District Baptist Association, to be frank enough to also tell how much he received from the same trough during the past five years in which he claims he was watching the others squander the good folk's money! To be perfectly fair, my good doctor, since you were in the squandering gang, it will become you to cast stones at others until you have set yourself right before God, by casting back into the treasury the money you also got out. Judas Iscariot did that, even though he went out and hanged himself because of his guilty conscience. Now, Dr. White, the report of the committee, nothing to do with past report of formations it was our plain duty to audit the accounts of the losing year, and with past report of all concerned, whether it pleased you or not; for it is well known that the "unknown rebellion" of some other than this writer, who has given to Negro Baptists of all accusers the press, is my delight to tell of men's and women's greatness, and not of their faults for being weakness to make ourselves blush. Again, the nation knows no man's collar and is not of the purchasable stripe, and the man knows no type is either a malicious line or too small to recognize merit and manhood. Now, my good doctor, it was J. A. W. H. McGee, a committee's report and, my good advice, since it appears on my authority on the matter which you discussed in your challenge you to meet me publicly and prove my incompetency to audit, not test, my competence, not other that you may select. It is an ill wind that blown nobody good, and ill water that blewn nobody good, and blind that befits our own nest. It is a downright disgrace when Negro teachers make themselves the laughter in their attempts to bell one more child that said that "by this sign shall men know that ye are my disciples," you should seek to do them harm; for God's invocable law of retribution is that "God is not mocked; for what-ever a man砂砂 that shall be a Master, elder, and put up thy award, that will parish by the sword. Moreover, read those words of admonition to the at Galatia, in found in Gal. 6:13-15. Negro Baptists have been the most vocal and most faithful and foolish quarrel among themselves, when we should be putting our guns on the devil. Let the men of the church be brothers White, I am for peace; my men as I would have them treat me. I have love for my friends, courtesy for all and fear for none. In conclusion, since you falsely charged the auditing committee with the First District Baptist Association, the first report reported our findings, the simply endorsed the district endorsed the administration official family, holding the official family out a single point of order being raised out a single point of order with $3,655 being on the table. Since you are no longer in the fold of this association, Elder White, are you not satisfied? Let others alone, for all you may say or write will never change the beliefs of the 20,000 loyal members of the district. Remember the anecdote about the dog barking at the moon? Well, the more he barked the brighter the moon did shine, and finally the dog barked himself to death, yet the moon is still shining. Here is a moral for you, sir, and have a care lest you pull off the same stunt as the canine in the familiar story recited above; for, despite your attacks and articles, the old First District Baptist Association, in the name of Jesus Christ, will grow and grow throughout the years, and will be uplifting humanity and making for a greater community and better citizenship long after those who, for selfish motives, would impede its progress are sleeping in forgotten graves—"unhonored, unwept and unsung."

NEW ORLEANS IS GREATLY IN NEED OF VOCATIONAL SCHOOL FOR THE COLORED CITIZENS. There are so many men and women who have grown into purity who have grown into the change of their young days for a primary or an industrial education. It is to come to a whole point when the people are in the end of their remaining years to care for themselves and their dependents for the rest of their remaining years. But I give up hopes for further advancement and spend of the rest of their lives in some kind of drugery for a very small pay. These conditions are discouraging to colored people and they soon look at life as a failure. It is not a problem to be a person who can be so active as to be a factor in the making of a race or a nation, then vocational life is so that he or she might be their own master or boss. The people who are so strong and unwilling to see their children pass through the same process. To avoid this, they would have their own work as an apprentice at plastering, brick laying, and making the work. They are more likely to live in the city of New York than in the city of Los Angeles. The unfortunate boy who goes to school and finishes the sixth grade is often compelled to get a summer job to help support the family. Usually the family is often involved in the work of a one-year or one-fifteen years of age. His job might be delivering for a drug store or a grocery store and his salary is a small compensation, but he generally thinks it is not a small income. If he makes good his salary is increased. This is exchanging to the boy and to the family also. Later in life he gets a job as waiter or as Pullman's pope. He has a good job and has a good living wage. He stays with the work with a view in mind that is not a main point reached, he will stop and go to school. Life is enough and has taken the time to be a public service he has been less than a year. He has a good time for his through his life and he must fall on all his needs, back to the point in life from whence he came, and nothing to enable him to be better than a good one.

He has to be a good one to come they would have something in the way of knowledge that would be useful and productive during their lives.

SCHOOL PROPERTY NOT FOR SALE, SAYS STRAIGHT'S HEAD SCHOOL PROPERTY NOT FOR SALE, SAYS STRAIGHT'S HEAD President O'Brien of Straight College has answered the published answer to the question and the Canal Street also sold. He said the institution has never been for sale. We are informed that he has stood for the school and much is needed. It is removed that those who want to attend the school are responsible for the agitation that the school be moved to a property sold, for personal interest. Dr. O'Brien's statement follows: "We are sorry to note that there is a short notice in the city that the Stratford area is to be placed where the present property is for sale. This school is not seeking a new location and the property is not in need." "From time to time during the last year or two various persons have come to the board to change the present property, or trade it for a new location, or to sell it in the market. Of these propositions have been weeded to the governing board. In reply the board has made it perfect that the property be either to sell or purchase at the present time. I feel that these rumors, while but the natural outgrowth of the real estate movements in the city, are in harmony with the Street Improvements. They disturb our patron and friends in the city and they convey a wrong impression to our friends and to the public."

PAGE FIVE SWEET FREED (Continued from Page One) spirit that the Negroes showed in fighting for their rights in the revolution, which in Toms words, was "We are not going to take what Turner took. We will show these white people we mean business." He wrote His Colonel, Toms boldly defended the right of the white people in their neighborhood to keep Negroes out. His only criticism might be based on the fact that they didn't use "legal means." However, they didn't use "legal means." However, they didn't use "legal means." We are naturally drawn to people of our own taste and background to keep Toms which has a popular suggestion of the Fifties of the past natural and not necessarily criminal that they tried to keep their neighborhood the kind of community own people lived in," said the writer. "They could have excluded them from Toms," Toms himself he'd quit the question, and reference to -perhaps we were thinking of the "legal code" of the Then in a sneaking effort to prejudice the jury by his statements, he asked the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and then subduely submitted that if he had the right to be acquitted, that P.

'Not Guilty!'- (Continued from Page One.) a series of cases beginning with the Louisville case, won before the U. S. Supreme Court in 1917, outlawing all state and municipal segregation ordinances. Another case in the series was taken by the N. A. A. C. P. before the U. S. Supreme Court this year when the Washington segregation case (Corrigan & Curtis vs. Buckley) was argued by Messrs. Louis Marshals and Moorfield Storey, urging that segregation by agreement among white property owners was unconstitutional. The Sweet case establishes the Negro's right to defend his life and family and home from riotous mobs having segregation as their objective. The N. A. A. C. P. brought its entire power to bear on this case, spending upwards of $21,000 of the first trial, retaining the ablest criminal lawyer in the country, Clarence Darrow of Chicago, and associating with him Arthur Gurfield Hays of New York. In the second trial, rough estimates indicate that the cost will be at least $10,000, bring the total cost of the two trials very nearly to $40,000. In the second trial, Michigan ablest criminal lawyer, Thomas W. Chawke, and a colored attorney, Julian W. Perry, were associated with Mr. Darrow. In the course of the legal battle, the United States has a legal defense fund to cover this and the other segregation and legal defenses against it. The sum of the sum of $71,419, contributions pouring in not only from every part of the United States but from Europe and from other countries, both trials have profoundly affective public opinion on segregation in the United States. The sentiment of the Negro's suffering from mass violence throughout the country has been a favor of the defendants. The right of all citizens to a civil defense has established for the Negro!

PRESTON 6827 CALL ANSWERED PROMPTLY DAY AND NIGHT WE HAVE ALL AUTOMOBILE EQUIPMENT PAGE SIX THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, MAY 22, 1926 The young sheriff of Sunset Canyon twitched his stiff body, opened his eyes wide, and came to a sitting posture with a sudden jerk, his hand instinctively shooting down to the gun at his right hip. "Lord," he muttered, shaking his head slowly, "but this thing is getting on much never. Hub, jest dreamed I'd caught Logan. I don't know. I've got it. I'm so so-much so. I've been seemed real, though." Again he laughed to himself, this time amusedly. Then he stretched his aching limbs, cold from the night he had spent in the open, and yawned lengthy. He rose, brushed back his tousied hair, and once more scanned the steep side of the deep ravine just opposite him—the side that sheltered, somewhere, the outlaw of whom he was in quest. Carefully hiding his blankets in the thick thorny bush, he walked up the steep hill to the little spring that he had found there yesterday. Once there, he drank his fill of water, eating two hard, round biscuits for his breakfast, as he did so; then, the in-man and the gargling of his face and hands. After this task was done he extracted the blue-steel revolver from his right hip pocket, saw that every chamber was filled, and proceeded to pick his way, silently and so that he could not be seen from the other side of the gully down to the bottom of it. Just five days, now, the sheriff of Bunset canyon had been on the hunt for Logan, known as the worst and most "wanted" man in the state of Arizona, and the hunt had told on him. His face, brown and naturally lean, was now a trifle white, and drawn so that his cheek bones seemed as if they would break through his skin at any moment. His eyes, tob, were blood-shot and bulging, telling of the little sleep he had had while there was a constant, nervous twitching of his slint, deft fingers. For the capture of Bill Logan meant a great deal to him. It meant a thousand dollars' reward that would enable him to buy a homestead for a certain blue-eyed, fair-haired girl back in Sunset canyon. Also it meant another notch in his already excellent reputation. Five days ago, when he heard that the outlaw was known to be in London, he had ridden his buckets on a now leopard over the illustrating practice of the artist, and had trained his strength for the two day trip over the desert that was so hot that there might be a snowfall, burning somewhere underneath it. After those two hard days he had gone to where the law became too tough to be feared at the base of it, with his feet teared at the base of it, with his legs deep in the day dayday he had searched both sides of the deep gully for his query, and a few footprints that apparently touched of the bad man being on the side opposite From the one on which he hit the ground, for if there was a footprint he was feelful, for if there was a footprint London was the one. And, now with hope in his heart, he started out on his fifth day before even the dawn Now, as he climbed down the steep descent, his haggard face was alert, his eyes, gray and usually wide, were narrowed to mere slits, and his dexterous right hand held his big revolver before him, set for instant action, while his left hand rested on the weapon on his other hip, ready to match the weight of another go for a second with the other. He also, as he walked noiselessly about, the stars left the heavens and gave place to a chill, gray, somber dawn. But the sheriff did not like this; he thought he stood a better chance of coming on his man while the other was still sleeping soundly, not suspecting his pursuer's closeness. Presently Langdon came to the bottom of Dead Man's gully, and here he searched about for some trace of his quarry. After traveling along the ravine for the space a quarter of the time from the� and what he wanted: several large footprints that looked surprisingly fresh in the soft earth. He smiled with a little sigh, hoping that they might lead him to his man's lair. Then, pulling up his open-topped jack boots, he squared his shoulders and breathed the steep ascent. His every action, as he went through the dense woods, showed him to be a man who decidedly knew what he was doing. He moved through the undergrowth and over the brittle leaves and twigs with the little, easy grace of a man, not making his light noise. He eyes, as he walked took in every single thing that it was possible for man to see. Suddenly he came to a spot on the hillside, some fifty feet in diameter, that nature had for some reason left behind him. He was in his throat and pressed like a trip hammer, used to surprises though he was. Never had it occurred to him that he would come close to the edge of the bare place, he saw the cold ashes of a fire; and near him, sticking from a hole, he saw of underburnt, a pair of boots. habit in which he indulged when alone, only his voice now was little above the lowest, whisper. "Say, m'son—say! I reckon we win out today, eh? Well, well, I kinda think it's due us after the time we've put in—what? But it shore is easy; it shore is! Well, well, Bill Logan, yuh oughtu wake up earlier in the mornin' or else pull yuh feet in after yuh when yuh go to sleep! Ha, ha, ha!" Then, his jaw outburst, his eyes centered, his gun before him, he very slowly and silently made his way across the little cleared space until he came to the bush from which he could see only his quarry's boots protruding. "Put up yer han's, Bill Logan," he cried, at the same time making a grab for one of the boots. But, as he grasped it, he suddenly fell back as it gave way with him. Then he realized how cleverly he had been fooled. At the same time, somewhere from the woods opposite him, a hareh, mocking laugh broke out. "Thought yuh had me, eh, sonny? Why, yuh measly, stinkin' maverick, yuh! D'yuh think yuh kin git! Bill Logan as easy as that? Ha, ha; put up yore han's, muh frien', an' kin'ly drop that beetle shooter when yuh do't Ha, ha; I kinda reckoned as how them boots 'nd fool yuh!" Langdon's brain worked quickly. He had certainly been neatly fooled; but to give himself over to the outlaw was quite out of the question. It would mean death, nothing less. He thought of the blue-eyed girl in Sunset canyon, of his hopes, of everything. Then he decided. He scanned the woods closely with his sharp eyes. Finally he thought he saw a form; and without waiting an instant, he leveled his gun and fired. Almost simultaneously, though, there was another report, followed by an angry, roaring onth. The young sheriff, for a moment, seemed turned to stone. Then a spasmodic shiver ran through his body, his hands went high in the air as his gun flew far to the side, he twirled round a few times, and finally plunged headlong, in the way a dead man does, straight into the bush where he thought the outlaw had been sleeping. And, to add a touch of irony to the scene, his own boots, now, were the only part of him that was visible—his own boots that were sticking out in the exact way that the outlaw's had been not five minutes previously. From the other side of the clearing stepped Bill Logan, a nasty, triumphant leer on his ugly, black-bearded face. "Huh, reckon I got mud man this time, bóo!' I, but 'hah; can't be fool you' he'd yodn't notice it! He, ha, guess I sent him down where he belongs, d- hinn!' And, still beering wickedly, he down to bush from which the boots were pretrading, when he awrote them, best down to grapple the foot of his man; but, before he could touch it, a spurt of red fire shot out from a tree not far from the bush, through his "gun band," curing him to drop his weapon with a hown of maddened pain. He continued to attack, attentant the tail, baiting, using form of the man whom he thought he had killed stepped out from behind his shelter, in his stockade. He was caught in the hand that was pointed directly at the bad man's breast. Mr. William Johnson, if he so be so kink!' Ha, ha Here, now, none o' that, sommy. The second time I play with mui trigger you'd yodn't notice it,杀 doing. I Do make myself plain!" The outlay, for a brief instant, made as if he would spring upon his arm, and he would reflectively over the tail, calm young man before him, he thought better of it; for there was a certain aspect to his arm, which he barrel that told him that it would be folly to take such a chance. So he had mildly did as he had been ordered. The young shifter from Sunset canoe took the handcuffs from his Mlp and he wore a wrist guard, a ward. "Yuh know," he drawled, as speaking to the word at large, "I was a kid, about to be when I was a kid, about to catch his with a own weapon! But he said, he smiled chinily, 'yuh really knew, I was a kid, about to own game—honest yuh oughtn't!' His voice became succinctly serious. "Jesus, did I tell you I had to do some mighty talk think" there when that bullet whimmed by me, and I sure am not, for I tell you I had to do some mighty talk the same to you, friend. If it's just the same to you, friend. I reckon well better get start, easier to do. And he walked forward and aliped the handcuffs over the protesting. Then he threw back his head and laughed. "Lord, but that" a good one on me. Why. I was gain "off," gentle, leetie bodies, ha, ha, ha! Turning Eggs Into Poison Better not eat a hard-boiled egg when you are angry.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, MAY 22, 1926 FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHT UPHELD! In acquiring Henry Sweet, brother to Dr. Ossian H. Sweet, two of the eleven defendants in the celebrated "murder case" that was engrossed the attention of the American nation at Detroit in 1925, joined a joint plea of the citizen to its aid. Property, property, etc., from attack and re-establishing the fact that a man's home is his sacred castle. This case originated in September of 1925, when one member of a white mob attacking the Sweet home in an erstwhile North neighborhood, met death, is alleged, from a bullet fired from the Sweet residence into the seething, surging, charging crowds (mobbets and helplots) in the trial of these eleven colored citizens including Mrs. Sweet, wife of the race doctor, the jury failed to agree on a verdict, and thus a re-trial was conducted, resulting in the agreement to try each defendant separately at the recent trial. With this jury verdict freeing Henry Sweet from the charge "enspiracy to commit murder," a sweeping victory was won not only for the Sweet family and colored group, but for the entire American nation. This cause was deeper than family connections or racial lines, as one of the fundamental and elemental rights guaranteed to the constitution and its amendments, as well as the bills of rights to the several states. The criminal criminal lawyer, Clarence Darrow, as chief counsel for the defense and the able and masterly manner in which conducted the cases, and the sorry showing made by the prosecution, it was generally conceded in advance that an acquittal would be the consequence, unless the jurors voted their prejudice. Much credit is due the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the many colored and white citizens who contributed to the national defense fund, as well as members of both races in Detroit and the array of legal talent associated with Dr. Darrow in the trials, for this sweeping victory, which depended on some rights in America that even a white mobs be bound to respect. Comrades, let us not lose faith in the final triumph of right over wrong; for— In acquiring Henry Sweet, brother to Dr. Ossian H. Sweet, two of the eleven defendants in the celebrated "murder case" that has engrossed the attention of the American nation at Detroit, Michigan, the jury upheld one of the fundamental American and human rights, viz.: the right of every citizen to be secure in his person, property, etc., from attack, and re-establishing the fact that a man's home is his sacred castle. This case originated in September of 1925, when one member of a white mob attacking the Sweet home in an erstwhile Nordic neighborhood, met death, it is alleged, from a bullet fired from a machine gun, and seeing, surging, charging crowd of mobsters and hollocats. During the 1925 joint trial of these eleven colored citizens, including Mrs. Sweet, wife of the race doctor, the jury failed to agree on a verdict, and thus a re-trial was conducted, resulting in the agreement to try each defendant separately at the recent trial. With this jury verdict freeing Henry Sweet from the charge of "conspiracy to commit murder," a sweeping victory was won, not only for the Sweet family and colored group, but for the entire nation. This cause was deeper than family connections or racial lines, for upon its final outcome rested the fate of the American people upon one of the fundamental and elemental rights guaranteed to all citizens of this republic under the terms and provisions of the constitution and its amendments, as well as the bills of rights of the nation. With the eminent criminal lawyer, Clerar Darrow, as chief counsel for the defense and the mastery manner in which he conducted the cases, and the sorry showing made by the prosecution, it was generally conceded in advance that an acquittal had been possible, and the jury voted their prejudices not of their sober and unbiased minds. Much credit is due the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the many colored and white citizens who contributed to the national defense fund, as well as members of both races in Detroit and the array of legal talent associated with Mr. Durrow in the trials, for this sweeping victory, which demonstrates the fact that some rights in America that even a white mob is bound to respect. Comrades, let us not lose faith in the final triumph of right over wrong; for— "Right is right, since God is God, And right the day must win; To doubt would be disloyalty, To falter would be sin." FLORIDA'S ADDITIONAL CLAIM TO FAME! Not content with the enyasure of all American eyes, more or less, in its recent real estate and building activity, the state of Florida also has another claim to distinction, and her entry in Judge Lynch's loop is making a hectic and herculean effort to coop the 1926 lynching league gonfison. This year, the Everglade commonwealth has gained a command lead in the mobocratic circuit, which will make Mississippi and Georgia rather jealous, and cause these two states to reducible their efforts to catch up with and pass Florida in the maddened dash for the penant of Judge Lynch's Aside from these demonstrations of mobocracy and anarchy in the Peninsula State, many forms of duress and intimidation of colored citizens have been resorted to by white gangsters and mobsters. Not content with being the cynosure of all American eyes, more or less, in its recent real estate and building activity, the state of Florida also has another claim to distinction, and her entry in the 1926 bryce league conflagration to cop the 1926 bryce league conflagration. With two recent lynchings orgies, the Everglade commonwealth has gained a commanding lead in the mobocratic circuit, which will make Mississippi and Georgia rather jealous, and cause these two sister states to reducel their efforts to catch up with and pass citizens in the maddened dash for the penant of Judge Lynch's loop. Ande from these demonstrations of mobocracy and anarchy in the Peninsula State, many forms of duress and intimidation of colored citizens have been resorted to by white gangsters and other criminals. The colorful colored citizens have been owning for years, all because said holdings have become valuable since the boom struck Florida, and it is an unwritten law in many Southern communities that a black man must not own land that has any value, mineral or other resources. In some of these Dixie communities the Florida method is not involved and employed, but other tricks are used to either acquire these holdings for little or nothing, or litigation is instituted and the result is that the court often permits these defenseless and unarmed citizens to be held accountable. The best way in the world for Florida to hit her "boom" is to sit imply by and permit a gang of mobsters, hoodlums and satim The Houston Informer Huns to run rampant and promiscuously destroy physical property and human lives under the most filmy pretext. People do not care to invest much money in any community or institution, and they do not order and constituted authority; where heathenism and heilish deprepations are not only persecuted at will, but where the officials, whose sworn duty it is to uphold the law and punish its violators, either join the ranks of the lawless element, or nod assent at their damnation. While Floridians should have a care, for while winning the pennant in Judge Lynch's loop for 1926, or running the winner a close second, the state may lose heavily along other and more substantial and enduring lines; for "pride goeth before destruction and retribution," the loss of retribution is still inexorable, immutable, unchanging, fixed! FEAR UNDERLIES RACIAL PREJUDICE. (An Exclusive Interview for the Associated Negro Press.) (Staff Correspondence.) The author is familiar with the authorities who declare that Negro infiltrates have had racial trends in the Latin countries of Europe, and extended their influence in the United States. That is this true for Portugal, southern Italy, and one or two isolated spots, where the Negro has been active. But he states that in the last four hundred years there has been a strong trend in the last five hundred years on the African side. His aim, and object, in brief, is self-preservation along biological lines. He earns the deeper peoples of the world to do so in whatever height they may, and he is willing to do so. He makes the effort to make for a lessening of the possibilities of the white race, which race, he thinks, has inhibited him. Discussion of American Conditions. "Aro you familiar with racial conditions in America," Dr. Richard was added to the report. "Yes, I am," he responded reflectively. "I have studied this subject at length. Statistically this nation is octoroon, that is, one-eighth of the population. I am one-eighth of the most unfortunate if biologically every American can had one-eighth Negroid blood." "How are we going to keep separated? The tendency is actually towards the end of the world," said the American today. In the South particularly, than ever before in history in the North, as well as in the South, there are thousands who scoff at the at-test. "Yes, that is true." I think the Negro leaders and white leaders should get together and have an understanding that in matters of civic justice there should be no need to be so much more difficult to do, no more than to be right. I think fear is at the bottom of the white man's thinking, and if he felt there would not be intermarriage, he would relent on some of the other things. "But you know, Dr. Stoddard, that the Negro is not by any means the eternal aggressor and offender?" White men seek our women, and while women are not as good as the black men, the blacks are not as good as the others. "What is the difference between it," he referred to as "booter love." It is our thought that there would be less of it, so as to do the forbidden thing. "As in the Volted Act, it is human nature to want to do the forbidden thing." "That is true. I think white men who intermingle in this manner should be bound by law." They should be made to pay the penalty for their wrong doing. Then Dr. Stoddard proceeded to discuss the good qualities of the Negro. He decided that the Negro should be more unforcered than the white men. He referred to music, form and color as the problems of the higher arts. He does not think the Negro has qualities of using the same same source of security and quality. For the people that the white adopt a negative measure for protection of their security and that they will continue to do so, as the Negro in America is a majority of the people who develop the "A"s. He was the Negro against the hope from outside influences because they may fall, and then, he would be more subingbed than ever. He called the "A"s to the community as a community of women, as he was the working in an experiment in certain cities of South Africa, and the working in a division according to races, with an understanding that each race votes only for their own stings. After the agreement of all the rights of the management might The position is taken by Dr. Stoddard, the size of the ballot in North Carolina, who has been a longtime supporter of the cause. He might happen anger opponents to such an extent that their law has passed without a vote. Dr. Stoddard's views are not necessarily the same as those of the Stoddard Represents "School of Thought"; Not His Race. It must be borne in mind that Lathrop School represents only a portion of thought, not entire race. He stated to the Associated Negro Prentice University that "the Negro is the most important of the nation." In this respect, attention is called to the April number of "The Tomorrow," in which Dr. John Haynes Holmes, Grace Lummin, Katherine McCormick, and William Pickleman, Howard J. Kester, Arthur R. Moor and Erl Wrabel, of white and black, Northern and Southern thinkers, take violent insults. The author has issued a new book, "Scientific Humanism," a group of writers who have been active in the states that he is always more than anxious to discuss his views with Negroes. He claims that Dr. W. E. B. Dublin and others refuse to accept the "The Tomorrow" as a group. He are expressed in "The World Tomorrow" as follows: It must be borne in mind that Latrop Stoddard represents only a school of thought, not his entire race. He stated to the Associated Negrs Press that he thinks he represents more than ninety per cent of the white mind of the school. He said that the school is the most important to the community. "In which Dr. John Haynes Holmes, Graco Lumpkin, Mary De Burdelben, George Collins, E. Franklin Frazier, Alexander Goldenweiser, William Pickens, Howard J. Kester, Arthur R. Moor and Eric Walroad, a group of white and Negro. Western and Southern thinkers, take violent issue with the school. "Mr. Stoddard, "The author has issued a new book, "Scientific Humanism," a group of lectures expanding his viewpoints on the biology of human development. He states that he is always more than anxious to discuss his views with intelligent, negative and unsolicited friends and others refuse to disbelieve the subject with him. On the subject of Intermarriage, Dr. Holmes' views are expressed in "The World Tomorrow" as follows: "The married couple who start with a minimum of differences and a maximum of identities between them are to be congratulated. For this reason, it is not clear to us how to express the view of Catholic, wiser for it. I am now to marry a Jewesa than a Gentile, wiser for an American." American than an Englishman, or a Frenchman or Italian, wiser for a white to marry a white than a Negro or Mongolian. Other things being equal, the closer the identity of origin, tradition, and character between a man and a woman is the same thing that is the same. But when I have a large marriage, it is not to be discourage, but when I love images the barriers, intermarriage is neither to be discourage or denied. The heart is here, as everywhere it's own best judge.
