Houston Informer

S. W. GREEN LOSER IN LIBEL SUIT Pythian Hosts Invade Houston 5 PRICE CENTS VOLUME X S. W. Pyth THE MIRROR By FLOYD J. CALVIN The editor, Mr. C. F. Richardson, has asked me to give my impressions of Houston in this week's Mirror. I am very glad of this opportunity to say through a local medium how highly I appreciate having an opportunity to visit Houston, and how well impressed I am with the city as a whole, and with the Negroes of Houston in particular. I arrived in the city Saturday night over the Southern Pacific from New Orleans. This is the farthest point South and West I had planned to stop to see. I was in Lanta, Tukwakee, Hot Springs and Little Rock. My first good impression of Texas (this is my first trip into the state) was that I had to diner at Beaumont. This was quite a surprise. I have covered about 4000 miles of travel in the past six weeks. I have been lucky enough to have dinner in a diner. I have had dinner served me in a Pulliman, but I did not count it. I have counted it a feather in my cap to be able to say that the first meal I ever had was a dinner with people in the North won't believe this. Mr. Richardson met me at the train that my first impression of him was that he looks like a scraper. And from what he explains around Horton's house, he has to his looks. Readers of this paper when others are ready to compromise or give in. His fame as a man who is now nation wide in Texas and fight" is now nation wide. My work as a feature writer for the Pittsburgh Courier has taken me to many and varied places, but nowhere have I found Negroes enjoying business opportunities in such close proximity with the main section of a growing and prosperous city as I have found in Houston. The old Fellows Temple, United Brothers of Friendship and Ta-bortan building as well as Webster-Richardson Publishing Company located, literally speaking, on Houston's main street. Only at Durham, N. C., where the home office building of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company towers over the "Bull City" with the best of skyscrapers, have I found Negroes right down among the big business men doing business. This not only speaks to the well-known economics, but it is a valuable economic opportunity for Houston Negroes. I have noticed in my travels that we sometimes suffer for lack of good location of our business enterprises. It was a wonderful experience to see the Pythians hold forth in City Auditorium Sunday. Grand Chancellor W. S. Willis of Dallas not only has the earmarks of an organizer, but of an able executive. Mrs. F. K. McPherson grand worthy counselor, whom I met, is a gracious lady and I don't know what he is. He has been her. The page advertisement in the Houston Chronicle (white daily newspaper), Sunday, was a shrewd way to inform white Houstonians just what Texas Negroes are doing. The top headline: "A Million Dollar Organization" was calculated to not only have news value, but to make white people stop and think. As the grand chancellor said, when telling why the news is not so good, he thought through the main streets, "Did you ever hear of anybody doing anything to a millionaire?" There are many parish Negro homes in Houston. And there are many parish Negro cars owned by Houston Negroes. I stopped at one of those homes, that is 2219 Dowling Street. I met Mrs. Covington and her daughter, Jessie, and she told me that she had a radio programs in New York. Houston is to be congratulated on having a pleasurable to hear and see her play in the at the National Urban League Conference at Philadelphia in April, and not a judge of music, others who are not a judge of music, presenters a great deal of talent, police and personality. Many of the younger set of Philadelphia were not for number of her that night but for number of her that day and she showed them the best of the young, talented Negro. Quickly, she asked the Pittsburgh Courier and I might here suggest that more of my parish Negro appear in its columns. The Courier is making a special effort to (Continued on Page Five) THE HOUSTON INFORMER Supreme Chancellor Loses Legal Battle With Houston Editor Houston Editor and Corporation Literally Run Green Into Mississippi River—Suit Mere Political Gesture—Federal Judge Holds With Texans In Legal Controversy—Green Fails To Attend Texas Grand Lodge in Magnolia City—Green's Chicago Speech Correctly Reported. Special to The Informer. New Orleans, La.—The civil libel suit filed in the federal court of the New Orleans district wherein Smith W. Green, supreme chancellor, colored Knight of Smith Y. North America, South America, Asia, Africa and Australia, sought to recover the sum of $100,000 from the Webster-Richardson Publishing Company, Inc., of Houston, Texas, publishers of The Houston Informer, styled as the "South's Greatest Weekly Newsaper," and from the editor of the Houston publication, C. F. Richardson, ended disastrously for the Pelican City fraternalist here recently. In his original pleadings, the titular head of the colored Pythians claimed that articles and editorials published in The Houston Informer, which discussed and exposed Green's open hostility to the city of the order holding its 1929 session at Dallas, Texas, had done him and his family a disgrace; that it was calculated to injure him among the citizens of this community and the members of the order; that the editorials and articles, which criticized Green's position in opposing the convening of the national body in a city of the "far South," were false, inflammatory, misleading and malicious, and that he was due certain financial considerations as a balm to ease and heal his wounds. After counsel for Green had been successful in obtaining several delays and postponements, attorneys for the Houston corporation made a motion to dismiss the cause, due to the fact that the New Orleans court was without jurisdiction to try defendants in said cause, the said defendants being residents of another federal judicial district.

RADIO STATION IS SILENCED BY FEDERAL BOARD New York City — (ANP) — Notice has been served on WEVD, the station owned and operated by Socialist, labor and progressive organizations, that its broadcasting license will be forfeited. The order has been issued by the Federal Radio Commission, which has thus raised again with greater point than ever before the issue of free speech as far as its most conspicuous channel—the radio is concerned. The Memorial Radio Fund, 31 Union Street, New York, operated WEVD for almost a year as a memorial to the late Eugene V. Debs, Socialist leader. It has been a "free speech" station giving time and the use of its apparatus to radical or other various kinds who found it impossible to handle through any of the other stations. In announcing discontinuance of W EVD's license after August 1, the commission said. "We are not satisfied that public interest, convenience or necessity will be served by granting your application for license renewal." We have been frequently heard over this station. LYNCHED BLACK RETURNS LATER ALIVE AND WELL Atlanta, Ga.—Georgia's record for 1928 is still clear of lynching, according to a statement of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, which issued a report on theduction from jail and supposed lynching to Henry Hood at Gainesville, on the night of May 14. A careful investigation of the case just made by a representative of the commission lynched nor even severely handled, but was released by the mob, later retaliated to his house in Atlanta by the mob, left for a distant city. One element of the mob, Hood reported, desired to lynch him, but insisted his realease and finally prevailed. This information, picked up from the sources, was fully confirmed by the fugitive's mother. The investigation in the jail after an altercation with a white man, was taken from the lock-up at Atlanta, where the members of the night police force were absent on their beds. As a result, the night chieft of police, who was taken from the lock-up, kepting, has been dismissed by the city manager on the charge of indefinite and leading citizens deplore the incident deply and expressed great concern that Hood was alive. Brotherhood Claims Pullman Porters Strong For Strike New York City.—(ANP)—Calling strike meetings for the Pullman porters and maids who are members of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters to be held on Wednesday, the union officials issued a statement saying that "the majority of porters voting in favor of striking was overwhelming." It is understood that the strategy of the union officials is to threaten a strike and persuade the Railway Labor Board that the effect of such a strike is sufficiently serious to warrant the president appointing a board of meditation as provided by the Parker-Watson Bill. Porter opponents of the union declare the talk of striking is silly and that "the 5,000 ex-porters the company has applications from will fill the places of the strikers and keep the service running without interruption." BOOM DePRIEST AT TESTIMONIAL TO BISHOP CAREY Chicago, Ill.—(A N P). The first opportunity was opportunity last Tuesday to learn what it is going to be the role of the president in the coming campaign to put up a vigorous congress from the first day of the election to Bishop A. J. Carey, Chicago civil service commissioner, held in the parlor of the Appointment Office of the president, the most of the principal leaders in politics, business and the professions. Most noticeable during the testimonial to Carey was the continual mention of the steadiness and the steady insistence that Oscar DePriest, Third Ward committeeman, and his party's choice for president, would first among those to make a plea for support for DePriest was Major Lynch explained to those assembled that their duty was to support the president, and that he was a Negro win the place. With two or more Negroes running, he warned, that the president was white. Democrat winning the position. Lynch also took occasion to tell Democrat that he is done in committees, not on the floor of the house of representatives. Capitaine was taken by May. Lynch told the president's lack of scholastic ability, and he informed them that in congress one could find many men who do not know what he is doing. Houston's Musical Prodigy Is Home MISS EHNESTINE JESSE COVINGTON, daughter of Dr. and M.B. J. Covington, 2219 Dowling, who has been doing advanced musical study in New York City as winner of the Juilliard Foundation annual musical award, reached home Sunday morning, much to the delight of "pae" and numerous friends. After a brief rest Miss Covington will go to Fort Worth, where she has been engaged to teach pianoforte at the summer music school to be conducted by the Texas Association of Negra Musicians, Mrs. M. H. Power, president. PHILADELPHIA NEGRO MARRIES NORDIC WOMAN Philadelphia, Pa. —(ANP)—Declarations that they loved each other and believed in matrimony, Alfred O. Hodge, at age one a prominent athlete at Howard University, and Mist Mathilde A. Howard, a white New York school teacher, were married here at York University, and the pastor of the First African Baptist Church. Mist Hodge is a beautiful and accomplished vower woman and has been in the New York school system for several years. It was there that she met the man she loved in physical culture in the New York school system. The couple have married and their marriage was by no means a surprise to their friends. In discussing the marriage, Rev. Hodge told me each and as we be lie in the amalgamation of the races we intend to get married despite the criticism we know will be hurled at. Following the ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. Hodge left for Atlantic City where they will spend their honey-money. Southern Judge Flays Jurors In Damage Verdict Vicksburg, Miss.—(ANP)—An incident unprecedented in federal court occurred when a verdict for $167.33 returned by a jury for Ike Johnson, Negro, in his suit against the Cary Lumber Company was set aside by Judge Edwin R. Holmes and a new trial ordered because the verdict was grossly inadequate and evinced prejudice and passion on the part of the jurors. Judge Holmes said: "Although Johnson is a Negro, the jurors were white men and Johnson was represented and prosecuted by white men before a white judge, it is the solemn duty of the judge to see that he gets a fair trial." Johnson was suigh the firm for $10,000 damages for injuries sustained when a company foreman struck him over the head for refusing to work on Sunday.

Arriving in "Heavenly Houston" on five special trains last Sunday morning: one each from Dallas, Fort Worth and San Antonio via the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railway, one from Beaumont and kindred points via the Southern Pacific Lines and one from East Texas points via the Missouri Pacific Lines, between 4000 and 5000 Pythians, Calanthenes, Dokies, members of uniform rank, Calanthene drill corps, cadets and regimental brass bands captivated this city, and created a scene never before witnessed in the history of this municipality. The leadership of W. S. Wills of Dallas, grand chancellor of the Texas school who is being prominently mentioned for the office of supreme chancellor of the fraternity, the Pythians and Calanthenes adopted the policy some few years ago of traveling to and from their convention city in special trains. The specials via the Katy carried standard Pullmans, thereby refuting the argument advanced at the 1921 biennial supreme lodge at Chicago by the titular head of the national organization that gets first-class railroad accommodations in the Lone Star State. With martial air filling the air; with banners and streamers floating to the morning breeze; with thousands gathered at the stations to welcome the incoming visitors; with secretarial experts assigned to tables at said stations and busy with clerical and routine work; with the special trains pouring the Pythian-Calanthene hordes into the city in numbers like John the Beloved saw on the Isle of Patmos, verily Houston took on the convention atmosphere and has steadily maintained it throughout the week. After the arrival of the special morning, transacting same with distraints, the line of march proceeded to and celerity. The tentant event on Monday morning's program is being held. Each year the annual program was the annual message of grand Chancellor W. S. Wills, which some distinguished Pythians the 1928 book being known as Garvin the garvin of the customary printed rebonishing a well-known Pythian lead—reporting the grand chancellor read a brief account of the year's achievements and the guest of the grand lodge this year. Order Honors Dead Members Changing the annual custom of hostess Sunday night, the lodge of sorrow was held Sunday afternoon at the City Hall of Tyler, former president of the Baptist Foreign Mission Convention, doing a sermon. Music, which was very apprehensive, was furnished by the chairs of Bethel Memorial Mystery Methodist Episcopal church. The singing of the former musical organization was unusually excellent, and the audience Madam Laura Allen-Green. Business Done With Signature In a strict business order the day after to business day. Georgia Appoints Probation Officer Georgia Appoints Probation Officer Atlanta, Ge.—(ANF) The first-colored probation officer in the history of Atlanta has just been appointed to work under Judge Garland Watkins of the juvenile court, through an appointee from the Atlanta missioners. Mamie R. Hamilton, the recipient of the appointment, is a member of this year' graduating class of the Atlanta School of Social Work and a graduate of Atlanta University. This appointment is looked upon as a forward step in race relations in this city, indicating that Atlanta is beginning to recognize its duty not only to ward Negro children, but also the need to recognize the need for a point of interest in a source of general satisfaction to the colored people. Mrs Hamilton has not only an excellent cultural background and specialized training for social work, but also poses personality, dignity, police, force which will reflect credit on the race.

Mark Johnson, who is a constable, was sentenced to one year in the county prison. Albert Martin, employed by the county jail, was sentenced to not less than three years or more than nine years in the county prison, and John Russell, who possesses a private detective, was sentenced to not less than two years nor more than four years.

The jury will investigate an investigation of the alliance of crime and politics that is expected to result in revolutions unparalleled in history. The special grand jury inquiry came as a result of increasing tension between the government and its actions, supposed to be aligned one side, and a so-called outraged group of public-spirited citizens who were charged with obstructing to oxyhormine the established political machine in the last primary election.

There is also a considerable education between the covers of the three reports for the citizen who likes to go to the market. The report also provides a summary of the changes they serve to prove conclusively that in the elemental matter of the货, the time to go to the market is not to be a part of the event, and the economic and environmental issues are up for not one whit from other peoples of similar income and environment. In different cities, 4,466 housewives, whose families included 20,744 per-capita income were interviewed; 13,929 of these were of the American white group; 752 were in the household of their foreigners and a�er-colored people, compared 400 families, provided the foundation for the analysis of the group tastes and expenses with reference to the meat that goes upon the The report states, "In the colored group, 505 persons composed the 203 of the most poor class, and 519 persons made up the membership of the 157 middle-class households." "For the colored group the average size of the household was 4.1 persons to the household. The poor class averaged the average number of persons to the household. The average number of persons is about 4.1. This establishes the Negro family as being of similar dimension to the general average. Foreign born homes were found to be from five to six people in each home, with the Russians to top the list. The average cost of meat in the homes is shown in the report to be as follows: 1,773 American well-to-do homes, $350; American wealthy-class homes, $50; American average of white expenditure being $3.49 per week. The general population of the country is 5,000,000 people, and the food and food group have been found to vary a bit from their respective groups, the people consuming 32 cents less than the native whites, and the middle-class group 25 cents worth of meat more each week. No will-to-doர்கs are available for the people who are more than the others. There is a wide divergence between the race groups in the matter of meat states.

In the middle-class groups it was found that 27% of the white people are very charged, while huts and 13% of the negroes valued themselves as credit. In each group there was ample opportunity for credit business, since 54% of the merchants with whom the white patrons dealt and 48% those reported by the color were credit courtesies.

AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT FINDS THAT BLACKS AND WHITES EAT A SIMILAR AMOUNT OF MEAT In 1925-26, the Department of Agriculture conducted an extensive survey of the retail meat market, and the results have been published in a paper entitled "Meat Market Statistics in the Public Documents, Government Printing Office. The survey is of great value to those interested in the meat industry. There is also a considerable education in the meat industry. The booklet is well informed. But to the Negro, the booklets are especially illuminating because they serve to prove conclusively that in the elemental matter of eating, we differ not one牙 from other peoples of similar income and be well informed. The survey upon which the government findings are based was conducted in 16 different cities; 4,466 households, whose families included 20,744 persons were interviewed; 15,269 of these were of the American white group; 10,291 of these were of the African American group; who composed 400 families, provided the foundatlc for the analysis of the Negro tastes and expenses with reference to the meat that goes upon the dining table. The survey states, "In the colored group, 805 persons exposed the 203 households, and the 118 persons made up the membership of the 157 middle-class households." "For the colored group the average size of the households was 41 persons to the household. The poor class averaged 180 persons to the household. The poor class averaged the average number of persons to the native American middle-class family group is exactly 41.1. This establishes the Negro family as a similar dimension to the white family, and the average number of six people in each home, with the Russians topping the list. Average cost of meat in the home is shown in the report to be as follows: American middle-class homes, $3.13; American poor-class homes, $7.5; American well-to-do homes, $3.50; American wealthy-class homes, $6.03; the general average of white expenditure being $3.49 per week. The average cost of meat in the home for poor and middle-class households have been found to vary a bit in respective groups, the poor people consuming 32 cents less than the native whites, and the middle-class group 25 cents worth of meat more each week. No well-to-do people in the home have consumed 32 cents less. There is a wide divergence between the race groups in the matter of meat tastes. Interviews established that 61.4% of the colored families have a preference for pork as against 35.2% of the comparable whites who like pork products. Negroes to the extent of 23.3%, gave expression to a preference for beef, while 33.3% whites favor that kind of meat. Inquiries tending to disclose preferences for cuts of meat and for the varied forms of cooking was revealed no differences between the views of the white and black, including: In the middle-class groups it was found that 27% of the white people had their meats charged, while but 21% of the negroes availed themselves of credit. In each group there was ample opportunity for credit business, since 54% of the merchants with whom the white patrons dealt and 48% of those reported by the colored buyers extended credit courtesy. The migratory tendencies of the Ngro during the past few years is reflected in the statement that but 47.8% of the poorer Negroes and 51.6% of the middle-class ones had dealt with the same merchant more than two years, while 57% of the poor whites and 56% of the middle-class white and nonwhite the same merchants for a greater length of time. Well-to-do and wealthy were found to consistently trade with their dealers over long periods of years. The tendency of the housewives to study prices, to shop about in markets and to otherwise conserve the family funds is also shown, and the reader The balance sheet below is probably the most impressive, from the standpoint of financial weight, ever rendered by a company.

BY ALGERNON B. JACKSON, M.D. (For The Associated Negro Press) Never in the history of the world has there been a time when people were more ready to seek quackery; and the very wonders of discoveries, such as the radio, make many other-wise attute minds inclined to believe the preposterous statements which are presented by various medical institutions. These ideas, in which there is nothing new, have been brought to the front by a remarkable sermon given by the annual meeting in which he warm against faith healers and charlatan psychai-analysis. He quotes Sir Clifford Albutt as saying, "When superstition attaches religion to man, it is used to manipulate it used to it." There was a twin in his eyes. The best thing you can do, he responds, "to get used to it." Only a few generations ago it was the doctor with his saddlebags who took the mountain paths. Later, with horse and boggy, he traversed the mountains, and automatically swiftness as well helped to his daily routine. Aerospace engineers have been frequently superseded for transportation of doctors and medical supplies. It has remained, however, for Australia to remote settlements. Since the war, newcomers to the country have settled in the vast interior of the island, where the doctor has required the use of the aerospace. Australia, with an area of 1.5 million square miles, States, is sparsely settled, having a population less than that of New Zealand, mostly along the coast, while the spurs, penetrating the great central plains, and short of the physician in central population one or two hundred miles inland, has patients living over an extended range. Where telegraph lines exist, after travelling for miles to the station, the doctor can be by wire. Then he carries out as best he can the orders received from the physician, and simple remedies and surgical material are available at the scattered government posts which include the mail The success of the experiment in the study of the healing of an adoption of a somewhat similar plan by the British and French in their own countries.

The temper of superstition, which is intolerant of accurate reasoning, manifests itself in religion and then in scientific medicine since that is the science most closely concerned with ordinary life of the mind upon the body, but there are so many facts which are obscure, that the normal medical treatment, the normal therapy, and often when the doctor fails, thinly veiled magic may succeed. Again he says, "When once you have a supernatural ability, you are non-rational for human thought when once men set aside God's gift of reason, then progress is life Does superstition make a stronger appeal today than it did half a century ago, or does it leave scientific medicine and turn to charismatism?

THEIDANA AVE. and WEST ST. + INDIANAPOLIS, IND Weekly Excursions Weekly Excursions By ALICE DUNBAR NELSON (For The Associated Negro Press) Charleston, W. Va., is in a class by itself. Nestled in the lovely Kanawha Valley, with the Kanawha River, tumbling itself and unlimited water power straight down from the famous mines—it is veritable a golden valley. And it has proven a golden opportunity for the several thousand Negroes who live, thrive, and have their being within its lovely confines. Charleston has been famous as the home of progressive Negroes: of Dr. Mordecai Johnson, of the redoubtable Lawyer Nutter, of West Virginia Institute, of W. W. Sanders, assistant state superintendent; of a wonderful new state house, of peace and plenty and lovely women; of Arthur G. Fro and Harry Jones, and educational opportunities; of business enterprises of Charlie Mitchell; of President J. W. Davis; of stalwart upstanding for principles, and of gorgeous lack of pussy-footism among the Negro voters. That's West Virginia, and particularly Charleston. Just now Charleston is in the midst of a perfectly beautiful fight, all over the board of education decided that a board of education should be colored citizens. The colored citizens sued said board of education. The courts decided against the colored citizens, and the board took the matter to the supreme court. They have succeeded in the proper legal procedure to get their rights. The most delightful thing about it all is the manner in which, regardless of state positions and of what-not, the upstanding and outstanding men are represented in the council; to the establishment of a pre-emptive that will not only affect the children, in 1928 and 1929, but will affect the women, in 1929 and 1929, and the United States for generation to come. Young college fraternities and sororities, the clergymen, the teachers, the students, the club women—all fighting for a principle in the way the Negro has learned to fight—by digging down in the grass, by stepping on his old stocking, in his bank roll, and subscribing his money to employ legal workers. Charleston, West Virginia, has always been electric with energy, like its famous Kawawa River. The Negroes of Charleston, filled with energy, pride and determination to fight for a principle to the finish, have rolled up their sleeves and set to work. The eyes of the country are watching Charleston with delighted anticipation of a good fight and an uncompromising victory. and morning, applied to clean, stiff brush, forced masking-cap.

(ANP) - Alcorn College, the Negro state college in Georgia, has been designated the year. Three hundred twenty-five thousand dollars of this sum has just been appropriated by the Mississippi Board has given Alcorn College $100,000, which makes total $1,000,000, twenty-five thousand dollars the budget fund. This is a great stride for Negro education when compared with what the state was doing for this school so recently. The state is now sending students to Monong, in company with a delegation, addressed a joint session of both the senate and house of the Mississippi, the country on Mississippi's shortcomings toward her Negro citizens in the state, that the state was not paying five cents per capita for the higher education improvement in Mississippi. He put the best people of Mississippi to thinking. Ever since that memorable address the improvement along many lines in the state in the way of a more liberal sentiment, especially along education And not content with that memorial address, Dr. Redmond has followed the same path, the last session, which made possible this $25,000 for the Ngoreo state college. Dr. Redmond placed before him the work of the institute and other makers of sentiment in this state, the unaversatile figures on "Ngoreo Education in Mississippi," which he prepared, and which was published in the Crisis of America. Legislators Are Impressed No Mississippi legislator of self-respect could possibly have read that article and refrained from going the limit for Mississippi on Negro education. Heretofore, white country schools in Mississippi have been running eight months to the year, while the Negro schools ran only four to six months, but since Redmond's combined graph, it picturing of the great injustices of the application of school funds in Mississippi, and his answerable appeals to reason, the last session of the Mississippi legislature passed a law requiring Negro country schools to be given eight months, the same as the whites. He had pictures taken all over the state showing the most dilapidated condition of many colored school houses, which were but little removed from barns, and presented them to the legislature. In this appeal to the Mississippi legislature, he demanded a free and untrammeled bullot for the Negro and bipartisan registration boards all over the state. Political Plea Causes Protest This brought forth a storm of protest, but he stood his ground and is steadily making progress along that line, to the extent that there are more Negroes registered today in Mississippi than have been registered before the state in the last forty years, and the Negroes take a keenly-interest in such matters.

CALVIN, New York City, special feature writer for the Pittsburgh, Pa., Courier, who is on a Southern tour gathering data for his publication, reached Houston last Saturday night from points in Alabama, Florida and Louisiana. He recently attended the commencement at Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, Tuskegee, Ala., going thence to Pensacola, Florida. He came here from New Orleans. Being his first trip to Texas, Mr. Calvin, who claims Hope, Arkansas, as his native home, was interviewed by an Informer reporter after he had been afforded an opportunity to see some of the city, as to his impression of Houston and Texas, and the Gotham scribe replied that he did not have any idea that Negroes are doing so well in this section of the country. He was very favorably impressed with Negro business in Houston and the strategic location of so many colored concerns and office buildings. Subsequent issues of the Pittsburgh Courier will carry special articles written by Mr. Calvin concerning and pertaining to "Colored Houston." Editor Richardson, who writes "The Mirror," turned over his column this month to the former readers some of his impressions.

Goodson's Service Station PRESTON 7222-7492 700 BUFFALO DRIVE "RACE SUICIDE" "RACE SUICIDE" BY WILLIAM PICKENS (For the Associated Negro Press) A Connecticut woman, only 35 years of age, has had 13 children, because her husband thinks it is "ild" behavior, and as a result, as possible to the bad fortune of having him for their father. The woman has an interest to the court, and is ought to be, some protection for a human being against such treatment. She is not supposed to protect her. If she were an animal merely, any animal, the law would protect her. The court, or no court. Thirty-five years old, and 13 babies—and eight of them died. The dead ones are doubtless the lucky ones. A woman should lose all her rights as a creature of the earth? There was a time when she must have been a legal person, but even then she must have been preserved to retain the rights of sentent creature. She must have command to "replenish the earth," but some men are so ignorant, or beastish, that the earth has been amply "replenished"—especially with their particular kind—and that it now needs No command would come from anybody today to create reckless rafts of children. Children have also the rights of living creatures, the right not to be crowded, herded and killed by the useless duplication of their kind. Theodore Roosevelt, who, by way had plenty of knowledge and ample cash to take care of a large family of children, had to be and that they had to be called "race suicide." Slogans and shibbolets are always dangerous things in the minds of fools, and the slogan of "no race suicide" has served chiefly as a "respectable" excuse for beastly morons, without changing in one iota the convictions or actions of sensible people. But, the awfulliest "race suicide" is just what this Connecticut man has done: to rapidly bring into existence a whole unprotected swarm of little children and have more than 61% of them to die, while the surviving ones may indeed perish mentally, morally and spiritually, even if they continue to breathe for a generation or so. That will degrade and destroy the human race quicker than any control of the matter. Only a millionaire could do justice to the care of 13 healthy children, but not even a milkflies and make 13 children healthy if they are born of the same mother in about 13 years. This style or "race suicide" is a bralent impisonation upon the woman or man in crisis of the happiness of little children—to say nothing of the crime against the community that must suffer the consequences for perhaps hundreds of years.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 1928 Improved Uniform International SundaySchool Lesson (By REV, P. H. PITEWATER, D.D., Dennis Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) 0, 122, Western Newman University.) Lesson for June 10 THE ARREST AND TRIAL LESSON TEXT—Mark 14:43-15:18 GOLDEN TEXT—He was despaired, and rejected of them (Ilias, 523). THE ARREST AND TRIAL PRIMARY TOPIC—How Wacked Men Treated Jesus. JUNIOR TOPIC—The Trial of Jesus. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP-IC—The Trial of Jesus. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP-IC—Jesus Facing His Enemies. 1. The Betrayal and Arrest (vv. 42-52). 2. The sign to the mob (vv. 43-47). 3. With the fastest hypocrisy. Jesus pointed out Jesus to the mob by a kiss, the sign of love. 4. Jesus forsaken by all (vv. 48-52). 5. At the sight of His betrayal, one of Jesus' disciples attempted to defend Him by resorting to the sword, but seeing that He made no attempt at resistance they all fled. Their courage failed them in the hour of trial. How little man knows of his own weakness until the crucial hour comes. 6. Jesus. Before the Sanbedrin (vv. 53-45). 7. Contradictory testimony of false witnesses (vv. 53-59). 8. The chief priests and all the council sought for witnesses against Jesus to put Him to death, but they found none because there was no unity of testimony. They accused Him of having declared that within three days He would build again the temple if it were destroyed. 9. The high priest's questions (vv. 00-65). (1) "What is it that these witness against Thee?" To this Jesus was silent, showing that no evidence and yet been given worthy of an answer. He called the "Baptist." To this He definitely replied, "I am," and quoted a Scripture passage which they recognized as referring to the Messiah. This claim they then affirmed, and the most shameful treatment. II. Peter Denies His Lord (v. 67-72) Peter lived Jesus, yet in the hour of supreme trial he failed. Gleavius as his sin was, it was not like that of Judas. His failure was due to his self-confidence (vv. 29-31). 2. Lack of watchfulness (v. 37). 3. Neglect of prayer (v. 38). 4. In the energy of the flesh (v. 47). 5. Following Jesus afar off (v. 54). 6. Seeking comfort among his followers. 7. Open denial (vv. 68-72). His backsliding really began when he shrank from the cross. IV. Jesus Arraigned Before Pilate (vv. 73). In the early morning after the trial before the high priest they bound Jesus and delivered him to the court. This according to the evil desires of their own hearts, yet he was delivered up to the determined counsel and trust of the Lord. The would gladly have killed him, but they had not the authority to do so. They delivered Him to the Gentile minister in the crowning set of the world’s pillar. Pilate questioned Him without delay for they accused Him of giving up his life. He was only rejoice. To the slain and accustomed accusations of the chief priests and elders he made no reply, to the court, to release Him because he was confined of His innocence. After several unsuccessful efforts to escape the court, the people chose between the people chosen to return to Jesus and was required to. He so doubted thought that Jesus would be chosen rather than the notorious Cast Thyself at His Feet The fever of worldliness that burns in the blood, the ill temper, the unkindness, the impulse, the dreadful mutuality of men, the dim vision of Himself the fretting fear, the foolish easy—how bouthown it is the sight that of which we make so bitter that they say, "I am not a fool, I am clean—Mark Ixus Poore. Our Cheffence God wants work of us. He offers His power to us if we will work with Him. Greater needs them here ever been done do not wait upon His willingness but upon our obedience. Robert E. Speer. Joy “Joy is there if we will not ourselves to find it—joy in labor, joy in love, joy in the beauty of earth around us, joy that enlits like a hidden well to bubble up in hearts that are open to it.” No Sorrow Too Great No sorrow is too great in endeavor. If it recurs to us some new beauty in Child, or belongs to us in a sense of Christliness—1. K Rilke LAYMEN GIVEN FULLER RIGHTS BY AME CHURCH Chicago, Ill.—(ANP)—The Eighth Beginning Armory has been divested of all of its ecclesiastical raiment and atmosphere and once more the spacious hall is resounding with the sound of tramping feet and military commands. The general conference of the A. M. E. Church closed here Thursday morning and Friday found the delegates enroute home and Giles Avenue, which was once a series of "headquarters" for this candidate for bishop is now quiet and has adopted its usual appearance. The conference was closed with the passage of several important legislations, including the according of equal representation to the laymen of the church, due to the campaign waged by J. M. Avery of North Carolina, Attorney Tيدrington of Indiana, Dr. W. H. Harris of Georgia, Attorney F. B. Ransom of Indiana, and other prominent lay delegates. Through the influence of Dr. John R. Hawkins, the salaries of bishops, presiding elders, pastors, and general officers were substantially increased and this produced a satisfaction which was eloquently expressed in the conference as well as in the "curbstone conferences." Ira Bryant Reelected The influence of the layman was indicated in the reelection of Ira T. Bryant, which was due almost solely to campaign manager, J. M. Avery of Durham. The reelection of J. G. Jobson as editor of the A. M. E. Review, and the reelection of Dr. Charles Wesley was slated for the position in the Board of Trustees, and influential journal. Friends of Dr. Wesley, however, discovered that he lacked the requisite years of experience to be a successful leader, and they are looking forward to electing him bishop, felt it inportune to aid him in the position of editor of the Review.

PHONE PRESTON 2321 AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER Andrew Mellon Denies Segregation of Blacks In U. S. Treasury Section J. H. HOWARD D. W. C. (ANP)-State institution naming Charles Ander- sert, collector of internal accounts of the highest salaried employees in the country, and giving information regarding many more who hold highly paid and responsible positions with the United States Department, Secretary Andrew Mellon, and Société Négro Press, gives a very vivid picture of the工作的 of the financial department of the United States government. The very na- tive nature of the position inhibits any semblance of segregated placement or any distinctions in the service rendered. The environment of the employees is so fully described in the language of the communica- tion that it is presented to readers without comment or alteration. "Dear Sir: Replying to your letter and interview in which you state that you have been assigned a segregation of colored employees in this department, I beg to advise you that your investigation to be made of all of the important branches of the Treasury Department, such a statement can be made. As a result of this investigation, I am the critic of unwarranted and unauthorized among employees of the Treasury Department by reason of color, and the policy of this department throughout my administration, and I am aware of the policy of this department through my administration. "At the time of this recent investigation there were 5,407 colored employees. This included 177 in the internal revenue service, 57 in the prohibition service, 488 in the customs service, 2,240 in the public health service, 372 in the public health service, 1,487 in the office of customs and enforcing and the remaining 180 in other bureaus. While many are employed in the Treasury Department, there are outstanding examples of the important branches of the department. W. F. BLEDSOE, G. M. Marshall, Texas C. H. McGRUDER, G. S. Houston, Texas C. H. McGRUDER, G. S. Houston, Texas DR. G. S. CONNER, G. T. Waco, Texas 9 or 4 per cent; in the engineering & machine division 157 or 41 per cent; in the press register division 1 or 4 per cent; in the building and grounds division 157 or 41 per cent; making division 16 or 44 per cent; in the garage 25 or 96 per cent; in the administrative offices (which include clerks, watchmen, labors and cleaners' 177 or 45 per cent; and in the rage office) are colored of 105 employees. In this bureau you will find that there is absolutely no segregation of white and colored employees performing the same kind of work. For example, in the examining division, examiners and trimmers are allocated to certain sections of the room depending upon the nature of the work they perform, all examiners, both white and colored, being in one end of the room and all trimmers, both white and colored, being in the other end. In the printing division printers' assistants are assigned to presses in various sections without regard to race. The assignment is made according to the amount of work to be performed or the particular day and the printer has no choice as to whether he will have white or colored assistants. In the watch division fourteen colored watch-men are employed, and the assignments are treated impartially with frequent shifts from one post to another, so that colored and white employees change positions from day to day and perform identical work. In the garage division, the superintendent, a white man, occupies a desk in the same room and adjoining the desk of the clerk of the division, a colored man. "The bureau lunch room is operated by the employees through a committee chosen by them. Identically the same employees are assigned colored employees. The same food is furnished both and they stand in the same dining room and eat the same dishes and cutlery, and receive the same service in both men's and women's lunch rooms. Provided for recreation during the lunch periods, are used by white and colored employees together without an arrangement for recreation during the lunch periods, are used by white and colored employees together without an arrangement for either group of patients requiring treatment. In the lavatories colored employees are given allotment of towels from the same stock. The men's toilets on the first floor are used jointly by white and colored employees, and have identical building colored employees are given separator rooms, but have identically the same arrangement including locker room attendants. "You will perceive from the above analysis that in this large group of employees 30 per cent of the employees in the department, no segregation exists and no charge of discrimination can be imposed."

For example, in the bureau of internal revenue, there is one internal revenue agent at salary range $2000 and one internal revenue at $6000. In the prohibition unit there are six prohibition agents, narcotic agents, and inspectors with salaries ranging from $2000 to $2500 and with salaries ranging from $2000 to $2400. In the public health service there is employed one lecturer with a salary of $3000. In the division of supply there is a clerk with a salary of $3000, and a parvisharching office's office, an associate structural engineer at $2000. In the bureau of engraving and printing, there is a clerk with a salary equal to $275 annually, and an awnier at a rater which annually paid the entire group of colored employees in this department is in excess of $275. The investigation has shown that in every branch of the department the colored employees are intermingled with the white employees and that no charge of segregation is justified. In the registrar's office the colored and white employees are working together in the same room. In the treasurer's office there is no grouping of employees by reason of color, although it is so happens that the separation of certain men and white women employees is separately required to apply in placing the five colored employees. The separate room but it will be obvious to you that this separation on the basis of sex is more pleasant for both groups and this was the reason for the separation. The question of whether any segregation exists can best be studied in the bureau of engraving and printing with its 1,487 colored employees, constituting 30.5 per cent of the total number of persons employed. These persons are to be found in practically every important division of the bureau. In the plate printing division, we find 329 or 23 percent of the total; in the wetting division, 38, or 22 percent; in the examining division, 410 or 44 percent; in the numbering division 9, or 21; in the percentage of the division 38, or 17 percent; in the surface printing division 107, or 23 percent; in the engraving division W.

BISHOP CAREY WINS VICTORY; GAINES MOVED BISHOP CAREY WINS VICTORY; GAINES MOVED Chicago, Ill.—(ANP)—Instead of being brought to task for holding the service of Chicago, as his enemies endeavored to lead him to be awarded the most important episcopal district of the African Methodist Church, which was brought to a close, after a session of six eighty days designated to the fourth episcopal district which includes Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, and the state committee of the general conference, and Bishop A. L. Gaines, who presided for the service for years, was appointed to the second district which includes Maryland, in Illinois. The other appointments were as follows: First district, the Philadelphia, York, and New England conferences; Bishop J. A. Jones; third district, Pittsburgh, Ohio, Pennsylvania; and Colorado, W. H. Heard; fourth district southwest Missouri, Missouri, and Colorado; fifth district northwest sixth district, Georgia conferences; Bishop W. A. Fountain; seventh district, the South Carolina conferences; eighth district, the Alabama conferences; Bishop J. S. Flipper; twelfth district, the Louisiana conferences; fouth district, the Mississippi; fouth district, the Kentucky and Tennessee conferences; Bishop J. A. Johnson; fifth district, the Tennessee conferences; Bishop M. W. Davis, G. B. Young, and S. L. Greene were sent to the New England, Africa, and South America conferences. The report of the episcopal committee resulted in one of the most hectic sessions during the entire conference, in which the minority report, which was read out could not be heard on account of the chorus of "no's" from the general episcopal committee. Due to this, the presiding Bishop, Hanson, sent the report to the committee refused to take it and in this they were sustained by the majority of the committee. The reporting of the minority was expunged from the record and the report was sent to the committee. Care Tells About Sinai Prior to the counsel of the episcopal committee, Bishop Carry circulated a statement, written the Truth About Sinai, and the reasons why Sinai Temple was not secured by Belieber A.

This statement, made in the fifth episcopal conference he made in the fifth episcopal conference to have influenced the episcopal committee in reaching their decision to appoint Gaines to the fourth district. **Appointment Received With Cheers** When the name of Bishop Carry was announced to the district, the reading had to be suspended on account of the cheers from the general conference and the galleries, the chairman was forced to rap for order. Of course, there were several reasons. Already Chicago Methodists are describing that Mount Sinai will be the center of church and that African Methodism will gain influence in Chicago. A rumor is also rife that Bishop A. M. E. Church, and a stammer of Bishop Gaines, had supported the appointment of A. M. E. Church and establish an independent community center. This report, however, could not be verified. MEMPHIS JUDGE REFUSES TRIAL TO WHITE YOUTHS Memphis, Tom.—ANP) It is evident that judge Tom W.

PLAN SURVEY OF NEGRO HOSPITALS UNDER JACKSON PLAN SURVEY OF NEGRO HOSPITALS UNDER JACKSON Chicago, 111- (ANP) - Announcement has already been made from the Chicago medical headquarters of the American Medical Association to the effect that Dr. Albergen B. Jackson of Howell will make a survey of hospital facilities among Negroes. This movement signifies a great forward step toward the goal of better health as a result of better hospitalization for the colored people of the United States. The survey was made with the idea of getting at the truth regarding our hospital situation. The American Medical Association and the American College of Surgeons under whose supervision the study is being made are the two recognized health organizations of this country. However, too much credit can not be given the National Hospital Association and its president, Dr. H. M. Jackson, for the past few years been urging the need of such a study. Recognizing the urgent need of attempting to standardize Negro hospitals, Dr. H. M. Jackson found themselves without funds to do the work. After many appeals for help, now come forward American Medical Association and the American Association of Negro hospitals, the means for this most important survey. The scoring of Dr. A. B. Jackson is regarded as most fortunate inasmuch as he has had many years of experience in hospital management. Gradually but surely, more and more states are being added to those which have been in the past one year's experience as internee in a class A hospital before being permit to practice medicine. Such hospitals among Negro are so few that only a small proportion of our young graduates get the training they need for medical study. The hope is to find institutions which can be developed in such a way that they are easy to see how the young Negro physician will be denied the right to practice. The recommendation funds will be provided to raise funds for the training it must it. The step is a most important one and the results thereof will be observed with much interest by the doctors. MRS.

ANY MAN WHO IS GOOD ENOUGH TO SHEED HIS BLOOD FOR HIS COUNTRY, IS GOOD ENOUGH TO BE GIVEN A SQUARE DEVELOPMENT. NO MAN IS ENTITLED TO MORE AND NO MAN SHOULD RECEIVE LESS.—ROSEVELT. HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 1928 PYTHIANS IN "HEAVENLY HOUSTON" "Heavenly Honour nual grant lodge of C the annual session of C the annual session of C order a "million dollar order by the intepid "Heavenly Houston" is host this week to the forty-fourth annual grand award of Colored Knights of Pythias of Texas, and an award session of the Court of Calantha, whose combined assets and resources amount to $1,172,829,494, making the Texas order a "million dollar organization." By the intrepid and matchless W. S. Willis of Dallas, who "Heavenly Houston" is host this week to the forty-fourth annual grand lodge of Colored Knights of Pythias of Texas, and the annual session of the Court of Calanthe, whose combined assets and resources amount to $1,172,829.94, making the Texas order a "million dollar organization." Led by the intrepid and matchless W. S. Willis of Dallas, who has served as grand chancellor of the order for the past 10 years, the Texas order has grown in strength, influence and power, and is today regarded as and conceded to be the most outstanding state jurisdiction throughout the colored Pythian world. It was ten years ago when the Pythians and Calantheans last met in this city, and at the conclusion of the 1918 session (the first one held by the present grand chancellor) it was necessary to float a loan in order to pay some of the current expenses incident to the convening of the grand body; while many of the mortuary claims were compelled to remain unpaid. The rapid rise of the order in finances, numerical strength and character of program initiated and executed, reads like fiction; and many refer to the Pythian order of Texas as the "fraternal bay tree." Houston is glad to welcome such an organization into its municipal confines, not because of its physical resources, per se, but because of the type and character of work the order has done and is still doing, not only for its own members, but for the entire colored race and social unit. In holding their sessions in "Heavenly Houston," the Pythians and Calantheans are meeting in the fastest growing city in the great Southwest; a city of wonderful possibilities and potentialities; a municipality destined to become the leading port of the nation; a city already the industrial center of Texas; a city that affords decent and profitable employment to more members of the colored race than any other city in the South; a city possessing a fine type of citizenry, with the largest Negro population of any city in Texas. Colored Houston extends a most cordial welcome to the visiting Pythians, Calantheans and Dokies, and shall do its best to make your stay here both pleasant and profitable throughout the week. For the benefit of our thousands of visitors we will be pardoned for citing some brief facts concerning "Colored Houston." Houston has 93 colored postoffice carriers, 1 postoffice clerk, 2 postoffice terminal clerks, 30 railway postal clerks with headquarters in this city, among whom are 15 clerks in-charge; to say nothing of numerous mail weighers, mail truck drivers and other employees serving in various capacities with the postoffice departures. Houston has 2 Negro patrolmen on force, 5 Negro detectives, 1 truant officer, 1 public school physician, 3 nurses with the Social Service Bureau, 3 nurses at Jefferson Davis County-City Hospital, 3 nurses in the public schools, 1 family case worker with the Social Service Bureau, 3 workers (2 matrons and 1 janitress) at Bethlehem Negro Day Nursery; practically all city garbage is handled by the Negro staff, and has at least one Negro in its quarterly membership; a Negro deputy poll tax collector; one white philanthropist has donated the Houston Negroes an $80,000 hospital, officered from kitchen to operating room by Negroes, and the city donated two blocks on which to locate this much-needed institution. Industrially, Houston Negroes are filling all avenues of profitable employment, and we even have Negroes serving as salesmen and salesladies in some of our white business places. To attempt to enumerate the number of Negroes holding nice jobs with various local concerns and industries, such as the railroad companies, oil companies, the bank and other lines, would be rather burdensome to our readers. With Negroes filling all kinds and types of offices and holding all species of jobs, there is practically no friction here between the races as a resultant, which goes to disprove the argument so often advanced that, where Negroes hold high positions and make good money they are a source of continual trouble and annoyance to the white race. Houston is not a perfect city, by any means, and we lay no claims to such unique distinction, but The Informer holds that no city in the South or Southwest affords our racial group a better chance of success, and the expansion along all lines than does "Heavenly Houston," the Manchester of America, where rail, steamship and air lines meet. Thus it is that we extend a hearty and cordial welcome to the representatives and visitors in our city in attendance upon the annual grand sessions of the Colored Knights of Pythias and Court of Calanthe of Texas.

Lothrop Stoddard turned as a refuge to science but his views were not to teach that there is any inference arising from race. There are many people speaking in America who are without information.

The fact that science has been superficial, if Lothrop had known his science, he would also know that the Aryan is not a pure stock, but a mongrel race from thousands of years intermixed with African emigrations into Europe. He speaks loftily of our lowering of Aryan ideals, when the very civilization of Europe came not from the Aryan hearts that poached over her people, but from the barbarians, destroying the ancient civilization of Western Europe; but the culture of Europe came from the African races that overran and conquered Europe. This can be proved by the skeletons of this territory, those of African structure lying among infants and cultured relics, those of Asiatics showing no evidence of culture.

Mankind is divided into two types of temperament—the conservative and the radical. The itatic is to see one trying to enact a role for which he is not adapted by nature. I know a number of persons who are conservative, cautious, even timid, but in the baseball park, the only regated place of amusement is the ballpark. For reasons of profit or prudence. On the other hand others of radical, restless spirit, hold themselves in lamb like submission, in order that thrift may follow meekness. But not so with Neil H. Thomas, the man who subdued effect has been reduced to pelled to honor his regular and recent accomplishments. Washington is a city of conservatives. Here radicalism is not even respectable. The government sets the conservative policy. The citizensfolk have the power to whether the Republican or Democrat administration is in power, the citizens shape their views to that of the government. Our, local newspapers have no politics, but are all governed by three commissioners who are governed by three commissioners of one whom is supposed to be of opposite political faith to the dominant party. One citizen in ten cannot tell the political differentiation. It is only a matter of titular designation. The government is dependent upon the government or at times finds himself in need of some governmental favor. Conformity is the price which all seekers after favors must pay. Negro confidence is in a pitifully dependent position. The whole race is dependent in some form or other upon the crumbs of political favor. Negro politicians, whether in office or seeking it, live with the finger of silence perpetuated on their lips. Government functionaries are trained to give their voices to give to their voices.

The Negro has to fight every inch of the way for not advancement, but to retain ground already gained. Even at that we are steadily losing as the years go by. The issue now appears to be the government in the government departments. This serpentine movement has been able but imperceptible. It made bold statements which momentum it has maintained under two subsequent Republican administrations. President Coolidge ordered the indomitable Negro Moore Trottier that he would gradually put an end to the complaint. But he must have made it clear that his words did not convey to us their ordinary significance and meaning. He was indomitable, wholly unable to see the effect of his effort. Indeed, the practice has been perpetual in servative Negro population, when it wants any reform accomplished use ally sits and lets "Nevil" do it. He has been forced to accommodate public school provision. Single handed and alone, Mr. Thomas and his lawyers have to be accommodated in the restaurant set aside for members of the college lawyers to be accommodated in the color rooms he refrain these people who are fast degenerating as white leadership can clearly see. The spirit in America that has robbed the black man of rightful and well earned privileges, that makes him a victim of the system, that shuts him out from a chance to secure an education to meet the needs of life, that in segregation covets even the air, that he might breathe in a sanitary section, shall not in the hands of immutable fate have a continual supremacy. How much national character is possessed by a race that everywhere on the earth commits such crimes blocking the progress of darker people? If one would read the statistics piling up in this country or crime, immorality, and superficiality, we would decide that something is wrong and needs very badly for someone else to help him up ethnically. The present generation in America of whites can make no ethnic boat. Mr. Stoddard claims that the Negro cannot rise to the standards of white nations. God forbid that he may! The thing weed is standards of our own. As yet we stand with others we imitate white standards. OPINIONS from availing themselves of the privilege for which Mr. Thomas fought, fearing, supposedly, that they would have to appear. They would have to appear. The same Neval Thomas frustrated the attempt to segregate colored people in the baseball park, the only unsegregated place of amusement in the park. For years we have heard of segregation and rumors of segregation in the government departments. Sunday intellectual attempts have been made to discredit the substantial effect has been recorded. It was exceedingly difficult to get at the facts. The parties jim-crowed with the government. Hon. J. C. Naper intimidated by the imperative requirement of bread. Hon. J. C. Naper rather than become a party to jim-crowing his own race, but he did not want to be involved in the infiducity of the infiducity of it. It was Wilson's administration that bodily restrained him from the bureau to be offered from top to bottom by a colored staff. This proffer was not a threat to the bureau and yet this process is taking advantage of the Democratic advantage. Many colored clerks, especially those who profit by being promoted to the bureau. About two years ago, I induced the N. A. A. C. P. to send an investigation into discrimination in civil service agencies after the woman was frustrated because there was some insistence that the two beaked snakes were separate and could not be segregated. I insisted that the two issues were separate and could not be segregated. But at that time we found it very difficult to ascertain clear instances of discrimination. Neval Thomas has smoked out the facts. He has put courage into forty-five years of work where he stated the situation to the secretary over their own signatures, the number of examiners in the pension office has dwindled from twenty-five to twenty-five, and repeated assertion that under the present policy of the civil service agencies the clerk will soon pass away with the buffalo and the dodo. The question of segregation will then be solved by When Mr. Thomas confronted the secretary with these facts of segregation in separation, he demanded that he has obviously been deceived by his advisers aided and abetted, no doubt, by certain officials, and that he had failed investigation, the secretary admitted the situation and undid the inquisition of his dohng, and returned the case to the government. This is the first effective step that has been taken in fifteen years to halt or check segregation in the government designation. He has indicated the way, the matter is squarely up to the race to urge the governor to take action, and wipe out the inquity altogether. This is more than a local victory. It is naive and unrealistic governmental policies set the pace. There should be no discrimination whatsoever on the part of the federal government in cases of numbers which the Southern states allege. It is a clear case of nurember of the democratic principle that the Negro has the Negro more than a citizen in the estimation and treatment of the man to which he gives his loyalty and devotion. I have often said that Neval Thomas is doing the essential work of the governor. Instead of dealing with sundry instances of discrimination which occur when little scattered places would be held at the heart of the matter by focusing on the national center here in Washington, he would purge the streams which flow from it will be pure also. Here in Washington, the discrimination which obtains in Alaska, with the exception of the jim-evren cars and anti-inseignement laws, is the district to the District of Columbia from the state of Virginia. Residential segregation by federal counts of this jurisdiction. Separate schools have been built on both races that it no longer furries a subject for discussion. True anti-inseignement laws are not on the basis of both races that it no longer furries a subject for discussion. True anti-inseignement laws are not on the basis of both races that it no longer furries a subject for discussion. Our leading Negroes are playing golf on the campus of an institution in congress looking to that end. Our leading Negroes are playing golf on the campus of an institution in congress looking to that end. In places of amusement, the races are are as separate as in Georgia. Residents are operated for whites only. Judgments should begin at the house of God Neval Thomas is doing to precipitate Some say that he is rash and too busy. But we must judge a hero by his ability to cast out devils, by whom do cast them out? Let these who critic their results with his new Neval Thom- as is no doctrinaire reformer; he is prior teacher of abstract rights and justice; he is a lofty altitude of his culture and renewment to pity the poor and de- sired; he is no pink agitator; he is removed by an impassable distance; he is no pink agitator; he is risks, the hardships and the peril which every genuine reform demands the human-made vote of thanks.

Mr. Williams reported that he had visited more local lodges during the past grand tour and elevated to the head of the Texas fraternity, and that his observance of the fraternity and a healthy condition and that peace reigns throughout the Texas juridic Many Land Willis' Leadership At the conclusion of the grand chancellor's annual address, his administration of fraternal affairs was laud ed by several speakers, including Roscoe Conkling Simmons of Chicago, Ill., supreme lecturer of the national organization and one of the most outstanding publicists in America; Hon.

B. Wickham, Oklahoma City, OK, grand chancellor of the institution, formerly in charge of the Texas encampment annually. Mr. Green sent his team to Texas, where Wickham said it with flowers, sending the grand lodge a very beautiful one. If one's cars burn when he is being driven, he is "aired out," then the superb shepherd developed a hot box on his or his ears; for he has certainly been roasted, not which seems to be filled with anti-Greek sentiment as a result of the Texas convention against Texas and the "far South" at Chicago last summer when both conventions at Dallas. Some of the francs received an award that Mr. Green gave the rat" and found it quite convenient as absent from the present grand lodge. Vacation Voted Willis and Smitl One feature of the annual report of the board of directors was a record of the awards received by the vote. Grand Chancellor W. S.

Davison Electrifies Crowd In an address punctuated by a appeal from the large audience, Committee Ben B. Davison, representant of the city, said he, turned over the keys of the city. It was the first appearance of Committee Davison before a Negro convention. He said that fest welcome addresses at their annual conventions have been better received. The commissioner was presented to the audience by Editor C. Simmons Delivers Response In his response, Col. Rocke Concine Simmons, supreme lecturer of colleges and universities, gave a glowing tribute to Jesse H. Jones, for the part he played in placing not only Jesse in South, before the nation by landing almost single-handed, the Democratic governor, but also his address was loyal, fealty, and partisianism. The speaker admonished the citizens and assets rather than mere consumers and liabilities. Negroes were farmers and buy farms, and then learn how to cultivate the soil intelligently and stressed as an essential element in the economy. W. S. Wills, grand chancellor of the order, was praised for his constructive head of the Texas fraternity.

W. Green, wife of the supreme chanceler, delivered a bitter insult to deliver a bitter insult against Texas and urged the supreme chanceler to the convention at Dallas), Mrs. F. K. McPheron of Gainesville, grand chanceler of the Texas, was presented with a lovely silver service set, inlaid with an ornamental and serviceable The presentation speech was made by Grand Chancellor Willis, and Mrs McPherson was so taken off her feet by the gift that she stated her inability to make proper acknowledgement of the gift at that time. R. A. Hester, jeweler of Brownwood and a grand lodge officer, who suggested the type of present to be given this great woman and also sold the same to the grand lodge's directing head explained to the audience the use of each piece in the set.

HARRIS Paulin and Darrell—the Aristocrat of the Dance—have been featured in Vaudeville and Revues from coast to coast. Pearl Darrell owes her success not only to unusual ability as a dancer but to the fact that she is herself a picture of feminine loveliness. The lovely rose on her hair is no faerie than her own complexion for beauty, like her, is deeper than powder and rouge. The skin itself is clear, light, soft as rose petals. Wavine Skin Whitener—a perfumed complexion beautifier—makes the skin like that.

Fort Worth Entrant Winner Contrary to the judgment of the large audience which remained at the City Auditorium until midnight to AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER white or mixed national bodies which refused to meet in the South because of their fraternism and the unfair and unjust attitude of the Southern whites集中 Green's Sait Mere Gesture When Green filed his liluit suit for $100,000, and sought to get judgment against the district, many regarded his act as a mere attempt at grandstand playing; he man, that such legal procedure was null and void since the defender's New Orleans district, with court processes, one of his articles the Houston editor of the supreme chancellor if he (Green) would attend the court; another of the Supreme Chancellor of Pythias at Houston, June 1-8, 1985, to which Green replied, in cross that bridge when he got to it. However, for some reason, it has been the Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green will not attend the annual convention of the Texas Pythias at Houston, having sectioned the country; marking the head of the Pythian jurisdiction of the world that he has not attended the Star Sailor jurisdiction. Many persons, both in and out of the Pythian order, think that the New Orleans fraternalist, who heretofore has brooked no interference, has met his match at last in the fighting, fearless Houston editor, who neither seeks nor gives quarters in a fight for a righteous principle; and some persons have}}}} Green's office will be the same as that of Green's, and that is to be determined at the 1929 biennial supreme lodge of the order, which is scheduled to be held at Indianapolis, but which the "wise ones" ever will again be held in the Windy City. It was impossible to obtain any statement from Green touching upon the $100,000 libel case which he lost, with all costs, to the Houston publication and its editor. Green was represented by Messrs. Loys Charbonnet and F. R. Smith, of New Orleans, while the Webster-Richardson Publishing Company, Inc., and Editor C. F. Richardson were represented by Judges J. Alston Atkins and Carter W. Wesley of Houston, and the firm of Milling, Goodehaux, Saal & Milling, attorneys at law, of New Orleans. Green's Pleadings The full text of Green's pleadings, combining editorial excess from The Houston Informal to which the New Orleans fraternalist and politicians took exception) as well as defendant's answer and the court's written decree in dismissing the cause and assessing all costs upon Green, follow: No. 19030 The petition of Smith W. Green, a resident of the city of New Orleans, Louisiana, and the city of Louisiana, with respect presents: 1. That your petition is the number one petition of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Pacific. That your petition is of citizenship of the United States and other persons in foreign countries belonging to the colored race. That your fraternal organization has grand and subordinate lodges in nearly every state of the United States, Illinois, New York and Texas; and your petition, in his capacity as said supreme chancellor, is a member of said fraternal organization or order and provided at the session of the Convention in Chicago, Illinois, August 20, 1927, when the city of Indianapolis, Ind., was selected as the next meeting location of the Convention.

JACKSON COMMENDED FOR CIVIC ACTIVITIES Houston, Texas, June 6, 1928. Grand Chancellor, Officers and Members of this Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias of Texas and Jurisdiction: Under your inspiration and the specific instruction of the board of directors, I submit this tribute to our beloved president, Dr. A. S. Jackson, commissioner of education of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, who has served his church in that capacity almost a quarter of a century, during which time there has never been one vote cast against him. Your board of directors feel it to be their duty to proclaim to the world its high esteem for him because of his very great service to his church, to his community, to humanity, to education and to the Knights of Pythias of Texas and the world. Dr. Jackson is, in many respects, a remarkable man. His frame was cast in a majestic mould and his brain and heart are not less great. His intellect is clear, acute and profound; his mind, both from nature and training, has that judicial tone which enables him to weigh all questions with the strictest justice, and to decide them with absolute unpatiality. In the clarity of his comprehension difficulties dissolve; before the first lesson appears his integrity is undisturbed; his prowishe is a proverb. His daily life is a practical exemplification of his faith; his ship is not quickly won, but, once secured, is of that heart-hearted sort that itself like that which Damon held for Pythia; his charity for the follies and folles of his fellows is touched with his heart. Master whom he serves; his benevolence is an unobtrusive his pity, Dr. A. S. Jackson, with a few others, laid the foundation and reared the superstructure of Pythian ships. It endures and shall ever endure. Dr. A. S. Jackson is a strong character, not always understood, prompts him to take on the role of his time; not forward to abridge his counsel, but giving his opinion, when sought or in a situation, to comprehensive, understern the blunt outside man in to be found a loving human heart, a kind soul, a devious soul devising the most generous of deeds and capable of the sublimest actions. His steps are all in the path of benefaction. He is ever a friend to the benefaction, lected, to the stranger and the friend, to the widow and the fatheress, Jackson is a great and useful man. Respectfully submitted, Secretary of Board of Directors AWARDED MASTER'S DEGREE Mrs. Jessie Mac Gross-Harris, the daughter of the late P. W. Grosso, and a former member of Houston, with re-entry from the University of Cincinnati June 16. Mrs. Harris is now teaching at the University of Cincinnati Junior High School in Cincinnati.

BRIDGE BUILDERS Sentence Three More Memphis Bank Officials Memphis, Tenn. — (ANP) — T. H. Hayes, G. W. Atkins, and J. L. Yancy, three officers of the defunct Solvent Savings Bank and Trust Company which failed last December with losses of a half million dollars, were found guilty Friday of fraudulent breach of trust in connection with the theft of $21,403.35 of the bank's money and were sentenced to prison. The officers were light and are said to have been a distinct disappointment to the state's attorneys, Hayes, president of the bank, was given a sentence of one year, and Atkins and Yancy were given two sentences of five years each to run concurrently. Although the state's attorneys made every effort to see that a heavy sentence was given Hayes, hitherto known and respected as one of the most successful and most successful in the Memphis district, Hayes attorneys were able to show that the convicted bank president was a preadmitted in name only. Hayes confessed that he knew very little about the bank and everything was not all right the state bank examiners and auditors would discover errors and see that they were corrected. He claimed that his chief business was to "walk around the bank and look important." The conviction of the three men will be taken. If necessary—do not be foolishly consistent. BRIDGE BUILDERS Bridges are rarely built by him who is to pass over—rather he builds for them. We use bridges every day that were built by our unselfish predecessors—made sometimes of human timber, flesh and blood. Many bridges are made by the aged sunset, when they life's day in motion. They build for the unwary and eager feet of youth. Are we simply travellers, or shall we not in turn throw up some bridges who change newly made, for those who remain. are we simply travellers, or shall we not in turn throw up some bridge across the channels newly made, for those who shall come after? a total of indicted in the court is said to be of $170,000.

BOOZIER, Grand Master HOOVER FORCES HOLD WHIP HAND AT K. C. PARLEY Kansas City, Mo., June 6, 1925—Houffer forces full control of the Republican party in the state committee. Seventy-three contests are up before the committee. It appears that Houffer forces are backing the Republican party, merits of the contents. Negro contentants are being literally thrown over the floor as half as they can get their hands on them, as usual, as numerous and pathetic very manifest and plain here that the "old guard" on the committee has been removed. The officers of the Republican party are determined to be done with Negro leadership to be kill out Negro influence in Republican party committees.

Republican national committeeman from Mississippi, and Mrs. Mary C. Booze, committeewoman, are standing firmly with the Hoover machine, killing off Negro Republicans. Housing conditions for Negro delegates and visitors are inadequate and vile. Coates House, a white hotel, agreed upon as one of the places of residence for Negro delegates, refuses to permit Negroes to enter the hotel lobby. There are simply no accommodations for Negroes here and it is best for those not already on the scene not to come to Kansas City—conditions here are as bad or worse than in Atlanta and Birmingham.

The rapid development of the boy scout movement throughout the South has disclosed the need for a more effective it is felt that the movement cannot develop faster than its leadership. It is toward building up leadership to direct the work in the critical beginnings of the program that the boys at Hampton have been included. The recent announcement of courses leading to the master's degree at Hampton University's Summer School as a work on the college will soon require this degree for the prince's jobs in education, to be followed by a graduate degree in other Southern states, makes this program a particularly interesting to students who will require requirements in a widely recognized and accredited institution of the math.
