THE HOUSTON INFORMER RACIAL LEADER VISITS HOUSTON Receiver Is Named For Baptists VOL. X—TWO SECTIONS RACIA Recei THE MIRROR 5 PRICE CENTS By C. F. RICHARDSON RETRIBUTIVE JUSTICE AUTO ACCIDENTS MOUNT The Holy Writ declares that "what sewer is a man soweth that shall be also reap;" and the old Musae law proclaimed "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." Accused of planning and scheming the death of James Leboueuf, his spouse and her doctor-paramour, after exhausting every legal means to estow, result in a criminal for their misde魄 for their sentence by a Louisiana court for their part in this cold-blooded crime, paid with their lives at Franklin, La., last Friday. In a letter, made public after his execution, Dr. Thomas E. Droher expressed the hope that their hanging would result in a criminal for their abolition of capital punishment, which he called a "relic of the barbaric age." He further charged that he and the woman were "framed" by the trapper, who is now serving a life term in the state for a year, and has been a living, the lawyer, and that he hoped Beadle, the player, would confess and tell the truth and put the executed pair right in the eyes of the world. The Pelican State crime was quite similar to the Snyder-Gray case in New York, and many held to the belief that no Southern governor would beरेضه. He said that he executed for any crime in the catalog; but Governor Huey P. Long of Louisiana followed the course pursued by Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York and refused to interfere with the law taking its place in the Louisiana court with a whole among the time is inexorable, immutable, unyielding and relentless. The daily newspapers of the city have been filled during the past several months with accidents and crimes, the latter being national in scope, while the former are twenty-two. Hardly 200 persons have been injured in Houston since January 1, by automobiles, and of this large number two or more agreement to a proposition does not necessarily infer or imply that it will put over any proposition. Most of these accidents have been of the same nature, the accident should occur, in any city where automotive and pedestrian traffic is regulated as in Houston. Yet if you stand on a corner and watch the many close calls and near misses of the accident you will be pulled to marvel that fatalities from such smash-ups do not mount higher than the record reveals. To have a firm grip upon too many of our automobiles and pedestrians, and when they something more powerful than the human anatomy to halt a moving car, out loser to the automobile. According to statistics, people killed and injured annually in the United States by automobiles exceed considere Before a driver is given a permit to drive a car in some states must be a licensed driver, in this wise, and it is no unusual practical and theoretical standpoint, that a licensed driver can manipulate his automobile. If any member of his family desires to drive the car, he or she must also qualify. In Texas we have no rules and regulations governing driver of automobiles in this wise, and it is no unusual being to learn how to operate a car on a crowded municipal street or busy highway. While head signals are not mandatory by statute in Texas, it is very noticeable that the majority of automobiles are driven or otherwise, just what the Moton Delivers Addresses Here; Praises Houston Making his first visit to Texas and making Houston the first city on the present brief tour of the state, Dr. Robert Russo Matern, principal Tuskegee Institute and president of the National Negro Business League, was here Wednesday and addressed the silver jubilee celebration of the federal farm extension agents at the City Auditorium in the foreroom. During the afternoon, after the reception, James G. Kearney, host to Dr. Moyle and Adoniel L. Holsey, secretary of Tuskegee and the National Negro Business League, the Tuskegee delegation was given a sight-seeing tour over the city. After meeting and addressing the local Wednesday club, Dr. Moton was the guest of honor Wednesday night at the Y. W. C.

Ryerson, president of the organization; R. C. Atkina, Tuskegee director of agriculture and brother to Attorney J. Alston Atkins of this city; and Albon L. Holsey.

"I do not think that I am far afield when I say that no other two men can meet in the South since emancipation than did Seaman A. Knapp and Booker T. Knapp and Dr. Washington, early realized the necessity of teaching better rural population; of creating a more satisfying rural life through the net of providing educational and recreational facilities for his children and improving health conditions. By example, he taught the students a critical understanding and cooperation which must prevail if the South is to be "Anyone who traveled through the South twenty-five years ago could see the wounds of the wars of education, words of the masses, black and white. This necessity is still urgently being integrated through the work which the Agricultural Extension Service has done for the past quarter of a century and has taught the people the soil, cultivation and marketing of crops, the care of livestock and the agriculture." "Through federal and state legislation the goal is being set to provide farm and home demonstration agents to be hoped to be that in this program of expansion the Negro will be in no doubt that the population of which is 25 percent or more black should have both a Negro man and woman demonstrate." "A healthy and contented rural population is based upon the ownership of a farm, and the farmer to the land more firmly than any amount of propaganda or legislation from country to city. Landownership for the Negro farmer would do more to have the migration to the city more readily than any need to need them to migration is not stricter laws or laws proclaimed than the Texas legislature, now in session at Austin, can help relieve this burden. The Texas legislature, now in session at Austin, can help relieve this burden by books legislation dealing with and regulating automotive traffic along this and other lines. To expect automobile traffic to slow down to the gait maintained by horse-pulled vehicles of yesterday, but not the modern automobile traffic. For the sake of human lives, let's do something to reduce and minimize our towering automobile accidents, if it becomes necessary to designate certain streets as safe and aside other streets for slower traffic, and force a reduced speed on some, at the same time, establishing new AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9. 1929 --- is that despite the lack of such organized effort 200,000 of the 900,000 landowners required more than 20,000,000 acres of tillable land. It will plen for special considerations for the Negro. The day when he needs that is past. But surely it needs to be too tough to definite define and undertaken by the federal government, the state governments or private individuals to make an acquaintance and acquire land on terms that will not sentence him and his family to a life sentence. He need not be one of philanthropy. It can be made a sound paying business. The city of New York, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., has erected apartments to be sold on behalf of the tenant-subscriber. Rockefeller has publicly stated that this is not one business proposition from which he expects to live every cent he put into it plus a reason. Rockefeller has planned a similar project for Negroes in Chicago. The same thing that is needed for Negroes in New York workers can be done in the rural South for Negro farmers. The making is necessary, for if the Negro is to contribute his best to the development of the land and not as a tenant. Experience has proved to the tenant that the greatest benefits of land improvement do not come from the Negro. Why should he attempt any program of soil building when he knows that it would be offended off the land; that if he increases productivity his rent increases more than the pockets of the Negro. "In the past the South has put much money into organized efforts to import foreigners and settle upon the land. The newcomers have been offered most favorable terms to induce them to buy land. They have then effected have been practically abandoned. The South now realizes the value of the Negro as an expert labor asset and in mannuality in its demand for restricted immigration. Much of the money put into schemes for importing people outside the South might more wisely and profitably have been put into improving conditions for native born Negro farmers, and making it easy for them to acquire land. The government inevitably leads to another. With the coming of farm and home demonstrators has come an DR.

JACKSON "From the beginning Dr. Knapp had the first crocheted hat, the Washington staff, and T. M. Campbell, the first Negro appointed in the service, in addition to him, to immeirably out his great project. The South and nation should forever be grateful to Dr. Knapp for pointing out the position of understanding and a cooperation. If what he contributed to southern agrifolios including relations between the two races had never been contributed conditions would be pitable to contemplate. A. M. E. COMMISSIONER HERE A. M. E. S.

Among Chicagoans it is frequently stated that the building cost far in excess of its actual worth and that it will never yield one cent profit or the investment. To those who are acquainted with supreme lodge resources, it is apparent that the obligations against the supreme lodge, due to the construction of this national home, can never be retired upon the present rate of income. The building itself is a liability and must from the start be operated at an increasing deficit. The building was dedicated when it was yet incomplete. This act itself may estop the supreme lodge, in any way the contractors should violate in the future, any stipulations in their contract. All in all, the dedication was hardly a farcical gesture and, but for the extravagant as well as prodigious waste of the people's money one might laugh! Oscar DePriest Seeks Early Trial Chicago, Ill.—(ANP)—Counsel for Congress-elect曼 O. Oscar DePriest, which includes Edward H. Morris and Clarence Darrow, appeared before Chief Justice John J. Sullivan of the criminal court and sought an early date for the trial of Mr. DePriest on charges that he fostered PERRY HOWARD VICTOR AGAIN Jackson, Mina. (ANP)-Discrimination problems against him, prosecutors said, and his law partner, Attorney Moon, were dismissed Monday. Moon began their beginning when the national committee from Mississippi was invited to the federal patronage of which he was acquainted Howard and his partner but no trouble in wining the second case congratulations of friends. Bankers, attorneys, and businessmen were the integrity of Attoroya Howard, Moon, and S. D. Redmond, and S. D. Moore, who was also at the same time. A. S. JACKSON FIRS TSECTION—NUMBER 3 HOUS Bap McDonald By Tarra To Hanc DUSTON aptists nald Chosen Tarrant Court Handle Affairs McDonald Chosen By Tarrant Court To Handle Affairs Please permit me to say that Saturday morning, February 2, at 10:30 in Judge Young's District Court, Tarrant County, we went into the court and asked for receivership for the Baptist Missionary and Educational Center, judgments against the convention, and a deed of trust alleged against the property of the Colored Knights of Pythias of Texas, first lien notes. We showed two lien notes by a lawyer by a first at Hammond. We also up the claims of other indebtedness to the amount of $90,000. We showed that the institution was involved, cannot pay its debts and that if it were not a religious corporation, it would proceed, but owing to the fact that it is a religious corporation we would avoid bankruptcy action and make out with receivership. The court granted the receivership and upheld induced gambling interests in his ward. Indications on this charge were returned against DePriest, Dan Jackson and several minor characters last year. DePriest's action in seeking an early trial is interpreted as an offer to clear himself of any stain before the time to attend the inauguration ceremonies at Washington. Attaches of DePriest's office have been making preparations to carry a large number of citizens to Washington when Hoover was president. Ever since the indictment was voted, the congressman-elect has protested his innocence and has made the counter charge that the true bill against him came as the results of a prejudice among white politicians who tainted to keep a Negro from going to college. Judge Sullivan assigned the trial to Judge Thomas Lynch who will set a date. TO CONDUCT R DUCT REVIVAL IN CITY CONDUCT REVIVAL IN CITY 102. W.

PAGE TWO—FIRST IN EDITORIALS HONOR SOCIETY LATEST MOVE AT STATE COLLEGE Prairie View, Texas—For the first time in a state college for colored people in the United States, scholarship accepted a signed and open recognition card, and graduated students, under the direction and advice of Dean Harry W. Greene chosen by the administrative council as sponsor, organized the Alpha Psi Honor scholarship society. Electives in the college have been awarded as "Acquisition" in all major subjects and no grade in a minor below passing standard, or a qualification equivalent of eleven quality awards. Dean W. Greene has students are eligible and have been elected as charter members. Prof. C. H. Walker, Dean W. Evan, Dean Sanuzer, Registrar Glass Dean Harry W. Greene, appointed by Principal W. R. Banks and his cali According to the college dean the standards of the organization for membership is exceptionally high, and even now much "grinding" is being exerted by the "barbarians" to be admitted to the college. A recent sent some of the most refined and cultured of this large family at Paira View, and there is a surprising correlation between their scholarship and ability in social leadership and general conduct at the college. According to the older members of the faculty staff there is more real estate than in the past, and more than in former years at the school. Morehouse Drive Makes Good Start On School Campus Atlanta, Ga.—The campaign to raise $300,000 for endowment for Morehouse College started last week on the Morehouse campus. The result was far-reaching, and proved that the institution was vitalally concerned with the cause of Negro education of the future that they are ready and willing to do their part to make more permanent and effective an institution that already means much to the advancement of Negro youth. The campaign campaign took the form of a contest among three composers: the student body, composed of the Tigers and Hornet, and the faculty. The two student divisions were under the leadership of Chairman R. W. Riley, assisted by Vice Chairman J. H. Wheeler and C. M. Beverly, and a group of fifty-two workers, and reports of subscriptions received were made daily at services attended by the entire student body and faculty and featured by musical numbers and five-minute speeches. No one was forced for one minute to lose sight of the fact expressed by the slogan "Morehouse Knows No Defeat." Results have borne out the slogan, Tuesday reports showed almost one-third of the figure set subscribed to the campaign, two-thirds, on the final day of the campaign, word came that the quota has been over subscribed—$16,880.5 already subscribed, and further pledges expected. The faculty and faculty of Morrow House College have met the issue squarely. They have recognized the value of believing firmly in a project before asking others to believe in it. They have opened the way and have created a sense of loyalty and support within the college itself. Morebase now feels warranted in appealing to its friends white and colored, for a successful completion of the great project which Colored Teachers To Receive $1,000 Tunkee College-Alan. (A-NP) The General Education Board of New York City has contributed $1000 to the current expenses of the National College Schools, according to announcement made here this week by C. J. Calloway, executive secretary and editor of the Bulletin, organ of the association. This contribution was made on condition that by December 31, 1929, the association should be cleared up. This challenge was met by a campaign which by the close of the year brought the membership of the organization up to more than 8,000. The Lone Star flag of Texas was adopted by the third congress of the Texas republic in session at Houston WHEN IS AN OLD MAN YOUNG AND A YOUNG MAN OLD IN BUSINESS? (An address delivered to U. F. C. Richardson, editor of The Houston Informer, at the Houston Business Men's Luncheon Club at the Y. W. C. A. catered by unanimous motion of the organization in this paper.) "When the words 'young' and 'old' are ordinarily employed, we generally think in span of years; length of time. "In the early days of our racial contempt we engaged up to recent years (most notably the World War and an apparent new vision on the part of younger men), most of the members of our racial contempt who embarked in business, were men of mature years; in the past, we were determined to determine what they otherwise lacked in previous training and experience for the business in which they engaged. "Competition was not as keen, fierce and bitter in yesterday as today, but it was more and more and largely on the basis of racial pride." As a result of this method of operation, so many of our business men got into a rut, failed to make progress with the business, and they ultimately discovered that they were losing considerable of the patronage and trade that they had heretofore enjoyed. Cooperative buying and chain stores have placed many of these business men in a sense, at quite a disadvantage; and their failure to make progress and measure arms with members of other races engaged in the same lines of business has brought about a grave setback. While hundreds of our business men have been forced to the wall, or compelled to continue doing business on a small scale throughout the years (as a result of the keen and terrific competition of our day and generosity of our business), caught the spirit of the age, and seems to be making some appreciable headway in business. Therefore, it does not necessarily follow that age (in point of years) is any particular factor in the business. "How, then, shall we appraise and determine when an old man is young and a young man is old in business?" "This decision is reached, in the main, by their methods, attitude and business activities." The man who still endeavors to transect business along the same lines as his antecedents; who does not put any new and modern methods and practices into the business; who does not believe in advertising his wares and the employment of his employees to meet competition; who does not improve the physical appearance of his place; who still remains in the same literal hole in the wall where he began business age; who age; who thinks that people should trade with him; who resides in a neighborhood, a resident in their neighborhood, or lodge brother; who holds to the view that, because he was the first or original person to embark in business in the neighborhood or community, he has a mommy, or should have lived largely to himself, and who, like the Dead Sea takes in everything and gives out nothing; who takes all his net profits and invests same in real estate and other lines without putting of his earnings bark into his life, and solidifying it; the man who looks askance at newspaper as advertising medium; who does not protect his merchandise from insects, pests, germs and other exposure in the house; who engages in eighteenth and nineteenth methods in the conduct of business in this, the twentieth century, it matters not how old or young he may be for many years. HE IS AN OLD MAN! After all, are it not measured and computed in these days, not even in the annals of time, by the number of years, per se, that a person has lived, and that a person has served a man lives and serves his fellowmen. Methalebach, the patriarch of Biblical days, who lived to the rage of 965 years, had only one claim to fame, and that was his longevity of life. He was the richest man, ranks of the shepherds and whose life was short-lived in comparison with Methalebach's, will be remembered forever for the program which he executed during his short earthly career, many years on his mundane shore. "Youth in business means modern ideas, methods and practice; the employment of present-day plans for the conduct and operation of business; the forming of mergers and combinations; the creation of new business ventures for the common good of the business man and the people he essays to serve; the judicious employment of advertising matter; the proper display of his warriors; keeping in stock the necessary supplies for the people need; not servicing in the THE HOUSTON, INFORMER, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1929 ich- rn- 'n's prospective customer wants a certain article; the absence of the "just as a good algan so often invaded by our bisonen more worried in the role of Mediterranean Sea, which both takes in and gives out and whose soil is indeed salinous and fertile; an as- ral of de- ven ence new an); old sea, the and rise C.

AMERICA MUST FIND MEANS TO RACIAL AMITY Atlanta, Ga. — The American people have the opportunity to do the world a great service if they can find a means by which disease races may live side by side in mutual goodwill and helpfulness, said Bishop Francis P. McCarthy, the director of the "Wider Significance of the African Problem," delivered at Amman Theological Seminary, this week "The race problem in our country is not sectional." he said; "it never been. No section has the right to assume a bolder than attitude to international issues." The American problem, not one exclusively of white and black relationships, Instead it is a human, problem of world-wide extent. It happens, however, that America, and particularly the South, occupy a position of strategic and peculiar importance in relational matters, our business in this field is aimed at ensuring the world could for good or ill. "I am not afraid of the uprising of the tinted races that some have predicted," continued Bishop McConnell, "but I am afraid that unless we speedly build a fence of justice and cohesion, standing and distrust may become so deep as to be impassable, thus shutting off each group from the contribution it ought to receive from the other. Some things in our American race relations are already discrediting us. The United States in Mexico I saw a list of American lynching pinned and paraded in the effort of General Ubaira to stir that country to war against the United States, and again in China was confronted with the same list as a real threat to our civilization and our nation." Speaking first on "The Historical Approach," Bishop McCullenn emphasized the necessity of hosting at the race problem objectively and with wide-reaching background and its world-wide aspects, and to make all possible allowances for honest human mistakes and inconsistencies. The lecture was heard by an audience that packed the room and the city of the city's prominent educators, pastors, and city civil leaders of both races.

He was made great strides within years in the development of legato, artistic phrasing, and the general timre of his voice. And as fine as was his presentation of the art-songs and other short classics the climax of the evening came (presumably the first time in contemporary art) when a scene from "Alda" was played which Litchi used as casian soprano, collaborated with Mr. Bledsoe. Hardly a week has passed since the staging here of Johnny Spielt Auf by the Metropolitan Opera Company about which so much ink was spilled both before and after this performance. The baritone should or should not appear in the title role. And we can merely say that we hope Mr. Bledsoe, the long resident director-general of the Met, was present at Mr. Bledsoe's recital, for his undoubted operatic achievement, and appeared. With careful and persistent coaching from now until the coming operatic season, Mr. Bledsoe should adequately interpret the character of Johnny. Creation" by James Weldon Johnson was by music by Louis Grunberg had to be omitted from Mr. Bledsoe's program due to the fact that the opera having been belated on a trip from Europe on the ill-fated steamer "America," was unable to have a proper rehearsal with the accompaniment of the orchestra and Mr. Grunberg were introduce ADVERTISING To Stimulate All Forms of Bus Too Small.

FLIT KILLS FLIES MOSQUITOES Other Household Insects Colored Girl Show Managers Unfair Slays Lover; To Colored Companies Colored Girl Slays Lover; Faces Court New York —(ANP) —The most startling story of murder which New York police have heard for years was told here last week when Bellocla Whitney, 14-year-old colored girl of North Carolina, told police she had been killed when a soldier killed him on the 17th floor of a loft building in West 31st Street here. On December 21, the girl applauded to the police department, saying she had come here from Boston, Mass., and had lost her father, who accompanied her to the city. They took her in and carried her to the Children's Inquiry Home at Fifth Avenue and 100th Street where she police sought the "father," while the police moved along nicely for the lost girl until Detective Mistoe of Red Bank, N. J., put in his appearance at the police headquarters and asked aid in locating the girl, whom he understood had come to New York. Police led the detective to the immediately the detective identified the girl as the person he sought. The girl said a year ago she migrated to Jersey where she sought refuge in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Mackey, 22 Beach Street, Shrewbury, N. J. Mackey and Bellcock graviate intimates and a tragic quarrel, and the girl and Mackey plotted to do away with Mackey's wife, Leslie. On the night of December 14, the pair decided to do away with Leslie. Attacking her with an ax, the thought they had killed her. They carried the woman to the railroad tracks where frequently passed trains would completely do away with the girl. She was killed, and Bellcock left a bottle of milk for the baby and took her cousin's fur coat. When found, the baby was near death from cold and starvation. Going to the home of a friend named Charlie Miller, Mackey and his innamora told of their deeds. Fearing the police, Johnny and Bellcock took to the woods for safety, learning New York's rules. For three days, the couple lived on hot dogs and ship in the subway trains. Reduced to his last quarter, Johnny made bungling plans to enter a life of crime. He and the girl found an iron bar in an almost deserted tenement building, and dragged the narrow inclosed fire escape at 132. Pausing to rest on the seventh floor, the pair engaged in a quarrel and Bellcella fearing that her lover would betray her, struck him over the street with the iron bar, fleeing to the building. Early next morning, the unidentified man was discovered in the building. He was in a dying condition and could give no coherent story of why he was in the building. He did not close how he came to be in the building. But Makey's wife rose from her grave, as it were, to accuse the pair. After she had been struck with the fire, she was in a coma of eminence, and the man and girl ruse. After deserting her on the tracks, Mrs. Mackey managed to free herself and crawled to the nearest house where she, wounded badly, told the story of the assault. Detectives immediately began tracing the fugitives. The question of where the girl will be tried is one puzzling police officials now. Her age prevents a trial in homicide court, unless official statement from her birthplace prove her over 14 as she claims.

Philadelphia.—(ANP)—“What,” I asked Miss Mabel Whitman, is the matter with the show business? Did I touch a bomb under this dynamic woman producer and pioneer of the stage game? Empathically, yes. Sister Mae is in her seventh week of the current season at John T. Gibson's playhouses in the Quaker City. Now, seven weeks for a big company uptown is a unique thing and when a colored show can still draw after the elapsed period, it is almost a miracle.

And they will pay you the same money or percentage for return to the answer. “The trouble with this game is a set of unscrupulous owners and managers who are seemingly having a very long time in themselves together to stiff progress along the lines of art and entertainment.” In the West, Pittsburgh, Newark, New York, and the country, he were in Philadelphia and is not a good for a colored audience. They don't do to make out a season. They don't do it out of sympathy, they realize that we own more scenery on hand to keep the doors open. “They insult the intelligence and prey on the fecessity of Negro patrons. They sense that the people must have some place to go for and do so.” “They feel so of being the best talent possible, they pain off Mr. Gibson and other high-class theatrical men. Indeed, I spend so much "When the crowd gets fed up on that sort of diet, they try to book a good show and try to get it for the same money they pay for an amateur company which was made up over the course of the season. I told me—and I'll name him when and if necessary: I have been losing money all year and I have to get out of the red on your engagement here. Therefore, I will pay you what you want." I got have a family company. You need not money because you all work and live together. Come in at my price or stay out." Well, I stayed out, I am staying out and I never in life will play for a man who tells me I have to foot the man he has suffered from bums. "Let me give you some figures in this particular case. Years ago, when he had a smaller school he refused to pay me a guarantee of $1400. I was told that he would pay $200 for the receipt. The last time we played his house my cut for the week was $3,750. Then, when he tried to get me this fall, he offered me a guarantee of $1,000 in money. He explained himself by saying that I, Mae Whitman, had to make for the bad weeks other people had given him. "He offered me $1,600 for a company of 30 people. He offered me $1,600 and it would have cost me $450 for the week. He explained to get there, to get there! (Excuse me if I am not as calm as usual). "How encouragement does a producer get out of that sort of stuff? How can you improve and develop your shows and people if there is no good show that can be a good show for a nonsuit fit." "This is what an owner did here in Philadelphia. He went to the individual members of a show in his house and asked them what their salary was. They wanted to produce a show and wanted to use them in it. At the end of the week he paid off the performers himself and the producer was paid a musician's salary. "What does Mabel Whitman mean to men of that type? Does my name have that type? Do you know for no more than Mabel Jack Rabbit. "With them it is an insolent 'What are you going to do about it? Take it or leave it. "Well, I am one producer who can leave it. These birds pay you a living wage they want you to guarantee that it will not rain or snow during the week you are booked with.

GILMORE President "In the West, Pittsburgh, Newark, New York, Atlanta City and here in Philadelphia are owners who will give us enough time to make out a season. They don't do it out of sympathy, they don't do it out of necessity and more costumes than any similar organizations, thus reducing the house overhead. They know we are money- makers. They appreciate these things. That's why, in the course of a season, we play from two to eight weeks with Mr. Gibson and other high-class theatrical men. Indeed, I spend so much time in Philadelphia that it a second home for me. "And now do you know what is the matter with the show business?" PERRY, A MAN The Victor: Recently they passed away in Kansas City, Heman E. Perry, to our minds one of the most unique characters in the annuals of Negro business in the South. He was the success he cherished, and without the monuments he would have built for himself. Death came as the climax to a period of three years which he had spent attempting a "come back" to the business world. He died and failure in business was netocide. His failure in business was not a failure in life. The fall of the Standard Life Insurance Company and some of its allied organizations, which were unable to double crossing, or what not, cannot rob Perry of his contributions to life insurance among Negroes. To him belongs the credit of pioneering. He was the first of the colored men to sell ordinary insurance, and later attorney general Company. Up to his time our insurance had been limited to industrial and health and accident. Perry had a large vision, he saw the necessity of creating large estates and he knew it well. He was the first legal insurance companies. Thus he blazed a new trail which he found full of difficulties and disappointments, but he met them bravely and took them out of his way one by one. His success in building the Standard Life Insurance companies to undertake writing ordinary business. Not only so, but it inspired men in other sections of the country to build in their own cities insurance companies similar to that which Perry had started in Atlanta. A number of companies, one of which owe a deal to Heman E. Perry. Not a few of Kipling's qualifications for a man were embodied in Perry. We saw him trust himself when all men doubted him, and yet he made allowance for his own faults. We saw him in both triumph and disaster. He treated these two imposters just the same. We saw him watch the thing he gave his life to broken and he stoped and started to build them up with worn out tools. We saw him make one heap of all his winning and risk it at one turn of the wheel, and he continued again at his beginning, and never breathed a word about his loss. When he gave up the thing he built and loved and withdrew from Atlanta, those who knew him said that he was done—but he forced his heart, nerve and sinew to serve him long after they were dead. There was nothing to him except the will which said to him—"Hold on!"

ALEXANDER the GREATEST "General Dumas cut them down as they came up." The story of France's renowned Black General by J.A.ROGERS Appearing Exclusively in The Illustrated Feature Section for FEBRUARY 16,1929 HERE is a story such as you have never read before. A little Negro boy joins the army of France as a buck private and inside of two years he is a general, commanding a great army. This military genius captured a rich Italian province for France, and was the terror of all who opposed him. Greater general than Napoleon, he incurred the Emperor's enmity and resigned. France, friend of the black people, has raised a great monument to him in Paris. You will want to re读 this story and pass it on to others.

SAVOYS TROUNCE TUSKEGEE CAGERS Chicago.—(ANP)—Closing Friday night with a 53 to 16 victory over Knoxville College of Knoxville, Tennessee, the Savoy Big Five, Al Munro's championship basketball combination, had to its credit five victories in as many starts in the same week. The week opened with a tilt against Tuskegee on the home floor Monday night. Savoy ran away with the schoolboos, 40 to 25. On Tuesday night the dose was repeated, Tuskegee being on the short end of a 38 to 23 score. Munro's sharpshooters then took to the road and trained their guns on DeHart Hubbard's Comets in Cincinnati, Ohio. This game was a rout, Savoy running off 55 to 22, in an exhibition of passing that completely be-wildered the Comets. Thursday night, minus their regular center, Fisher, the Savoys journeyed to Muncie where they ran into a crack aggregation, but were able to ramble off with victory 31 to 28. Knoxville had been invited to Chicago because of its victory over Clark University, but the boys from Tennessee might just as well have stayed home. HOWARD DEFEATS ST.

Our church has learned to love and respect him and stand behind his church program. Last Sunday was "red letter" day from every angle. Three persons were added, with one candidate for baptism. The B.

Gans Accompanies Manager's Body To Gotham For Burial Los Angeles, Cal.,—(ANP)—Hardened hospital attachs and persons used to witness many dead scenes declare they have never witnessed a more touching separation than that between Baby Joe Gans ("the Young Master") and Larry Lichtenstein, his nurse. All during Larry's illness at the Barbara Hotel, Gans had insisted on visiting him, though his nurse refused admittance to anyone else. As Mr. Lichtenstein sank lower and lower, Gans began to spend most of his time at his bedside, following him to the Hollywood Hospital on the evening of May 15, 1993. As the white man with the weight of 59 years and the ravages of disease felt the dark shadow creeping over him, he groped for the hand of the brown boy to whom he felt almost a father, and passed gaxing into his eyes, while tears streamed down the ducky checks of the strong, fearless boy, who has won over 107 desperate battles. The attachment between the two was engendered by the honesty, fairness, and real interest Larry had always shown toward Gans, and the real qualities Gans had shown in his dealings with the older man. Attends All Last Details The removal of the body to the undertakers to be shipped to Mr. Liechtenstein's two sisters in New York, the moving of his possessions, attention to his unfinished business affair and all the many important details of his life, necessitated him remaining away from his home all of Thursday and part of the night following the death. As a truck slowly bore the casket across the Sante Fe railroad to the train leaving at 3:30 Friday morning, Gans walked beside it still bowed with grief, and entered a sleeper to the train, where he was manned of the man who had piloted him so near the championship. Cherokee Tom Sole Manager Now Cherokee Tom Cox who discovered Gans and has always continued to hold a share in his contract is now sole manager. A great pile of unopened letters and telegraphs from an administrator after Larney's death revealed the many offers being made for Gan's services. Tom is now also receiving many offers from international lightweight. He also left Saturday morning 24 hours behind Gans, to join him in New York. Are You "Hitting On All Six?"

M. and E. Convention of Texas about E. L. Harrison, W. L. Dickson and others being splitters of said convention. The world should really know the truth. Is the convention split; if so who split it, and why did they split it? The convention truly is divided; in Sherman there were two meeting places; one group in the C. M. E. Church, the other in the Progressive Baptist Church. One group met Jan. 9-13, inclusive, with the Macedonia Baptist Church, Dallas, while the group which selected Rev. Harrison as leader met Jan. 16 and 17, with the Corinth Baptist Church, St. Worth. But who divided or caused the division of the convention? In the 1927 session in Paris, Texas, with the State Brown, pastor, the convention was moved to this church from the Bethlehem Church, Turrell, mainly because it was in the place where the place for the administration to elect its candidate to the office of president was majority of the messengers of the convention were in favor of Rev. E. L. Harrison, a non-administration candidate. For the first time in the history of the convention an enrollment committee was appointed to take annual memorial services for the deceased persons had enrolled favorable to the people's candidate than to the admissible candidates, yet it has yet been reported, was withheld or destroyed and an alphabetical roll, leaving off many persons names who were not reported to Rev Harrison, was made instead. For hours the presiding officer, Rev. L. Boone, milled the great crowd to form a line and vote from a roll especially prepared to elect his candidate, which was our constitutional nor parliamentary, rather than accepted nor agreed. Rev. Harrison finally withdrew and asked that he be removed, but the prisoners persisted in and pretended to carry on, no vote should be counted to him, but the messengers refused to carry on. The president presided in and pretended the presiding officer. About 1 o'clock the morning Rev. Boone declared his candidate president and gave him the sword. The messengers rose in resentment and ignored their declared president and forced him to give up the gavel without any word of acceptance. Hurried, the protesters rose to 1, and white the gavel and prayed, officer of the law were brought in by the pastor, which was the result of an ordered call by Rev. Boone and drove the crowd out of St. Paul's church, but we decided to abide our time and we came home and put in to make the year a success by offering our time and money as be It was a miserable year. Many of us were objects of the lash, put upon us at our expense, while the work suffered and creditors threatened and the lawyers fleeced us until the property was posted on the court house for sale to satisfy fake and bogus mortgages, made by the president as having the power of attorney in fact. When Rev. E. L. Harrison and I were called in to save the property, a suit and an injunction was held by brought in the name of Rev. P. W. Wesley as chairman of the board of trustees, who gave with that no such power of attorney in fact had even been given to the president. A second called session of the convention was made July 31, at Wolfe City, which demonstrated again that Texas Baptists could not be made to follow appointed leadership, but must be allowed to exercise their sufferage. Threats and rumors began to float in the air that those who failed to attend the Wolfe City called session would not be permitted to participate in the Corseana meeting, which again was changed for territorial advantage to the machine's candidate from Corseana to Sherman. And rumors that any attempt to enter the convention and eleven other president than their selection would meet the Sherman police and the jail. Well, we did thank God for it. In Sherman before the adoption of the program prepared by the officialicals, the committee of the dresses of welcome were hd, while committees sought to prevent the ugly dresses of welcome. THE HOUSTON, INFORMER, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1929 mittee, those who wanted to save the day, the dropping the two men who represented the machine and the people; to this Rev. Harrison readily agreed, but Rev. Wilson spurned. Of course Rev. A. L. Boone was on the scene again, although he resides in Cleveland, Ohio, to see that his program went over. An attempt to adopt the program, but when the change of the day for election from Friday to Thursday, was asked for the rule (some rule) was announced, suspended in some sham way, and by some rule best known to themselves, Rev. Wilson was declared again president, while 420 persons stood registering their protest to any such unfair, dishonest procedure, even without an enrollment to ascertain who the qualified voters were. Those who favored such doing would not vote, but between 75 and 100 persons, not including the choir remained seated. It was then, in regular manner, enrollment was had. Reports of enrollment committee which had registered 410 persons, at that time, and the election of officers ratified the program. etc. Again two policemen were led to the altar by Mr. John Barbour 'bour' needed to read the names of 14 of Texas' leading ministers, including T. C. Bledsoe, U. M. S. Keeling, T. E. George, R.J. Mr. Gilbert, A. W. Pryor, G. R. McKinney, R. B. Francis, T. E. George, S. M. K. Curry and W. L. Dickson, who was not present, and arrested those present. They waited two hours at the police headquarters, with between 400 and 500 messengers and asked them to return to the C. M. E. Church and proceed with the business of the convention, which had his candidate all oiled and greased as the prescription doctor and his young son, the trained nurse, slicked him down so sooner than done did the Baptists vomit him upon the altar of the C. M. E. church and the trick and there the Baptists, 410 strong, elected a president of the convention in harmony with the custom of But while we were in court answering a charge of disturbing public worship and using profane language, the machine was called to report that the officers of the convention could do was to move the meeting at place at a Baptist Church. The arrangement for which they made where the work could be carried on This was done under the protection of the chief of police and his deputy, R. C. Barbour, who had been made master of the evening session by the bosses. President Harrison announces the meeting of the convention, president of the convention, elected by the majority, he was adjournied the meeting of the convention, president of the Progressive Baptist Church. He further stated that the division of Texas Baptists seemed in more than himself, and perhaps when they had parted and sobered the contenders being left alone they work out their differences. That he was willing, to stop, to step aside and work out their differences. That he would preside, if Rev. Ww. would come up. United nation that will preserve the principles of the church and right. This is the second time in a year that this convention without the solicitation on my part of any woman or woman's vote. I have always thought offices in religious bodies In our next day's session a committee on arbitration was appointed to investigate the case. A. W. Pryor, R. T. Andrews, M. K. Curry, but instead of a committee on arbitration, our brethren were seen to stop us from operating. Saturday they dragged us in court and lost. The committee had three attempts and failed. Then they brought suit against 25 of us, which suit they won by presenting a fraudulent complaint to the committee on enrolment be named by the president 15 days in advance of the meeting of the convening committee. This committee would be ineligible to A. E. REV. U. S. PATTERSON, of Belton, Texas, who has been called to the pastorate of the Sixth Avenue Baptistist Church, Corsicana, Texas. Rev. Patterson is a young man with a promising future, and is loved and honored by South Texas, and especially the Old Land Mark Association, where he has served as president of the B. Y. P. U. Convention for 6 years. He is quiet, easy and unassuring, but can be counted on at all times as standing hard by his convictions. He stands for the democracy of the church—majority rule. Any church is fortunate to have the services of such a young man as he. Vote in the convention. Who ever heard of that before? Now, dear reader, who, in your mind, split or caused the split of the convention? Saturday about due, a few preachers, the episcopate of the Baptist Church, under the direction of "Bishop" or "Pope" Wilson, named as officers: Rev. H. T. Wise, president of the Baptist State Sunday School Convention of Texas; Rev. Joseph H. Harrington, president of the State B. Y. P. U. Convention, and Rev. Joseph A. Brown, president of the Texas Baptist Foreign Mission Convention; Rev. J. R. Burdett, president of the Minister's Conference, and other officers whom they felt would surrender their manhond and womanhood for an office. Now, don't forget that the State Sunday School Convention met in San Antonio last August and elected Rev. W. F. Bledsoe as its president without a dissenting vote, upon the resignation of Dr. J. E. Knox. Rev. M. L. Waters was elected over his opponent by a majority vote of 96 to 31. These men were all there. Rev. Jermany was elected to the presidency of the Ministers' Conference, on Tuesday. All these meetings had adjourned; neither had called a board meeting; no resignations had been given in, now tell me, dear reader, how did H. T. Wise become president of the State Sunday School Convention? or how did Joseph H. Harrington get the presidency of the State B. Y. P. U. Convention? or how did Joseph A. Brown get the head of the Foreign Mission Convention, which adjourned last May? Or, pray tell me, how did J. R. Burdett, our Houston friend, become the president of the Ministers' Conference which had met and adjourned before he arrived in Sherman, when Rev. Jermany was on the grounds and had not yet resigned? I hear you anawering: "These men split these conventions to get offices which they knew the people would not elect them to." And tell me further, where could they have gotten the authority to ordain a Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention own any of the Baptist churches or Sunday schools, or B. Y. P. U. Conventions, or where is the sovereignty of the church? Did any of the churches organize in, or to organize Sunday school or B. Y. P. U. conventions, or a foreign mission convention? No, the church organizes the B. M. and E. Convention, and that is what we did, and did it in church (not court), and the custom of the convention by a majority vote. How did these men get these offices? They record the witnesses and Judge Hare say we were in the majority. In the majority is the church or convention. The minority may have the name but the majority is the threat that we're in the majority by trying to steal the election at Paris by tampering with the roll and in Shirman by producing their intentions. If you have the majority and the machine, why would you have the majority and the tricked and gagged down the throats of the people's stomach, when you have like a rock for twelve Now foreclosures, one after the other, have threatened us. The property, finally has been placed into the hands of a receiver, by the creditors, who felt that the property might be sold before their harden, earns money to obtain a income which they must have sold. Instead of taking steps to unite the Baptists and pay debts, the time and money have been spent abusing and villifying men; putting them out of office because they won't vote for a certain program. There can be no progress where everybody thinks they will be. But we have to take the steps of all the goods grind over the protest of all. The lawyers can do something, and that is the case now. Would it not have been better for both of the men to have stepped aside as Rev. Harrison proposed in press and in committee rooms on the floor of the people, and then to have come to this open shame where we are now, just because one man and a few of his personal friends wanted to be the honored president at any cost, right or wrong, just so I be president? It is not a question of Harrison and Wilson, but of the people and Harrison were only offered to the office over the protest of the people, while Wilson boasted, "I've got the machine, I've got the charter, I've got the roll, I've got the books, I've got the seal," but where are the people? So now Wilson has about lost the property, charter, books, machine and all to a receiver. Now a fish runs with the whispers of the food, but followers of principle will follow hungry. A. A. GORDON NEW SUPERINTENDENT OF MISSIONS A. B. DR. M. B. BILBREW, pastor of greater Salem Church in Dallas, Texas, and recently elected moderator of the Griggs Memorial Association, an organization growing out of the Northwestern Association, presided over by Rev. E. Arlington Wilson, has been elected to and has accepted the office of superintendent of missions of the state of Texas, representing that group of Texas Baptists presided over by Rev. E. L. Harrison, who was elected by the majority vote of the messengers in attendance on the B. M. and E. Convention of Texas, held in Sherman last October, 1928. "Among the Baptists the majority rule," said Dr. Bilbrew. "I was not in Sherman but the witnesses said Brother Harrison had the majority. I know he had the majority in Paris in 1927. I was there. The record says he had the majority in Sherman, 220 against 414, and Judge Silas has said he had the majority; many eye witnesses said he had the majority. Ignoring Popular Will By REV. U. S. KEELING, S.r.l. The above caption expresses unmistakably the cause of the woes which occasioned the invocation of stress. Whenever the population has been ignored in church or state, it has been the signal for protest. When the church is placed by foul, filth and unfair methods, their personal interest over, above, and above, divides consequences have always followed such unholy attempts with the Baptist church is distinctly a church, "of the people, by the people, and of the people, by the people," the Gospel of its dismay the corner-stone of its usage. When similar persons and influences conspire against the Gospel of its man, with the aid of policemen, and by resorting to methods that were ungodly, to defeat the popular will, the overwhelming majority of the messageers attending the convention in the church, and by rules God-given rights and according to the usages of the church, and by rules God-given rights and according to the execution of its affairs, swept by J. E. L. Harrison into the Judge Hare, in rendering his decision, admitted the will of the majority had been ignored. He said: "I find there were irregularities; I find that E. L. Harrison received a majority of the votes cast." In the light of these findings by Judge Hare, who did not attend the convention in person, how can anyone, who was really present and witnessed the election, fail and refuse to acknowledge that Dr. Harrison was honestly and fairly elected by an overwhelming majority? Judge Hare said Harrison received a majority of the votes cast in Sherman, so there is nothing left for the minority to do but to accept and acknowledge their defeat in the spirit of Christ and according to rules governing our church. So long as the minority attempt to force their will and wish over that of the majority, just so long will their efforts be resisted by all Baptists who desire that everything be done decently and in order. Every man in the denomination, who has an iota of manhood, any sense of responsibility, and a guard for His inspired Word, looks with increasing disgust upon any attempt to ignore, thwart, or override the will of the government. We believe the denomination is capable of controlling itself, and we believe that the government is expressed will of the majority. Not a Battle For Personalities But Principiles The upheaval among Texas Baptists does not revolve around men, but measures, not personalities, but prince. It is true the world moves by prince, but the world moves by man. The faculty have flowed from persons, who championed and advocated great principles. Organization is powerful but, as the world moves by prince, anything until a person has stood at the center of it and filled it with prince. This is the reason the majority of the Baptists of Texas have chosen prince. This is the kind of character those principles that will give vitality to our work, and move our denomination forward. It is this kind of character that is in accord with the mood of today is in accord with the mood of all other days. The decision of the prince is, "we find no fear in this man." It is our profound conviction that prince is the faith, God-fearing to exercise faith and patience. Time with God is not as with men. Truth has a history, and prince is truly great will not need to tell the people so, they will find it out them. Prince is truly great will not need to tell the people so, they will find it out them. Prince is always in demand. He does not need therefore, by self-advertising, to court applications. believe he had the majority, and I'm a good Baptist, so I'm going to live up to the covenant of the church; recognize the right of the majority to govern. I promised to do it. I'm going to be as good as my word, and I'm going to shell the woods for God and the Baptist church polity. Dr. Bil准 is well fitted for the position. He is a graduate of the theological department of Bishop College, a pastor of long experience and served a number of years as moderator of the Unity Association in Northeast Texas. The Salem Church now pastored by Dr. Bil准 is one of the state's largest congregations, with above 3,000 members. As a gospel preacher, Dr. Bil准 has few equals.

If we need help in presenting this program, we will ask for it then."

The singer rendered a program remarkable for variability and dramatic and artistic climax in a greet of the famous spirituals. He closed with the poignant Crucifixion Song, which was rendered with such generosity and emotional power that, as its conclusion, the audience sat for some moments in revient silence before breaking into a storm of applause. Hundreds then crowded upon the stage, where they sang in unison, as a suitable as that which he had just received from the audience. In reporting the concert, Ralph T. Jones, musical critic of the Atlanta Constitution, acclaims Mr. Hayes as "one of the greatest singers any race has produced" and credits his music to "the most talented man," but also to "a remarkable intelligence directing and gifting of song." His "exquisite art," says the music "will haunt the musical memory of Atlanta until he comes again."

COLORED SHOW HITS ROCKS AT PHILADELPHIA New York—(ANP)—While New York waited for the premiere of "Pay Day" the colored drama starring Ida Anderson and having a supporting cast of colored artists, the company was stranded in Philadelphia after the production was cancelled of the cast in an interview with a representative of the Associated Negro Press here. While the production was the management of Messrs. Davis and Stephenson, white of this city, it was generally understood that the Erlanger interests were to take the production over when it came to New York. This would have given the play a general audience. But the way for the production to go into a legitimate theater on Broadway. The Erlangers then sent their technician along with the show to look for wreak spots. He was ordered to "tighten up" the play so it would be suitable for the doctor's role as a doctor who is an experienced stage manager and producer, a high salaried white man, ran afoul of Donald Heywood, who had previously been stage director for the show. Heywood famously as the composer of several songs, was compared to the man sent out by the Erlanger office, but he resented the hints given him by the more experienced man, and in no uncertain terms, made his objections known. Davis and Stephenson then withdrew their support when they received the man, and in no uncertain terms, made his objections known. The left company flat in Philadelphia, where they had played at the Gibson Theater to poor crowds When members of the cast sought Heywood, he was in Harlem, having left the company secretly when he met the support had been withdrawn. Some 30 or 40 actors and actresses are out of work on account of this action, although they had a fine show which would have "clicked" on Broadway under different stage management.

May New I BIG AND LITTLE In the last three months Chicago has perhaps been the center of interest in the Negro's activity, both as a subject and as a performer, in the theater. Negroes have become increasingly popular on Broadway, but they have not been filled with greater obstacles to be filled with greater obstacles than to the ratiest of the first city. The unprecedented extension of the flare for the Negro in New York, however, has had its effect in what New Yorkers are pleased to refer to as the "black theater." In a region called Chicagoland, second importance in all America. In California, also, there has been a flowering of public interest in the Negro as a subject for legitimate comedy and drama, for the motion pictures, and as a performer in each subject, as active activity are being board in Chicago. Thus Chicago's richest today has been imprinted upon by the most significant developments relative to the Negro in the Theater Guild Production, with Frank Wilson as the star. "Porgy" had been a success in New York, but it was not until the 1950s that it like this. This Middle Western city frequently sits the Eastern successes. But "Porgy" was entered in the town's most fashionable theater and was an instant success. Originally scheduled for two weeks, the engagement was extended from the first of November until December 22, when the manager agreed to engage in a joint engagement to fill the terms of a contract with a Cleveland manager. On the heels of "Perry," November 19, to be exact, came "An Abraham Bosom." Paul Green's thought-provoking racial drama of the Cardinals hills was a great find for forgettable part. It also found Chicago in mood for entertainment with a Negro flavor and with Negro performers. Don维德·康德哈姆, the town's acerent critic, declared that there were more than that were as fine as any he had ever witnessed. This play closed last Saturday night, completing a run that was longer than that enjoyed by "Shuffle Along" in this city. Chicago's riota has been rather fed on Negro musical comedies which have been a staple of the city and Lyles "Keep Shufflin" did not click in the manner of the two drama above. When Arold Rekathein, rebuted backer of the Miller-Lysses song and dance confection, was murdered after a discouraging two weeks' run. In addition to the shows which have employed Negro actors in the main, there have been others, as in New York's *The Negro performer*. Snow Fisher, imitative dancer, travels with McLennan and Heath's "Head's South." Another colored performer wins a role in "The Trial of Mary Dane." California's contribution to the city's entertainment menu is Garland Anderson's "Appearances," playing on Schubert time at the Princess. It is now in its third week and going strong. The daily newspaper critics have called it "the best play, but perhaps the best estimate is that based on the gradually growing audiences who go to see it. Anderson is a good showman. He brought the show here from California, playing throughout the Northwest and Canada. One performance was given in Spokane, Washington. After seeing it, R. I. Rushler, president of the company, presented Anderson with a check for $22,500, just to help him alone. Miss Sally Rushler, daughter of the bank president, is playing the part of the maid in "Appearances." Anderson believes he has struck the road to success, declares that the show being given here is much better than the one New York and that he has made it a part of his he has made to write another drama out his feeling and experience. Chicago's favorable mood to the professionals has inspired the local amateurs to renewed efforts. During this month, on Friday, Saturdays, the Chicago office of the American Institute here gives a repertory to Engineer O'Neil and Paul Green at the Cube, a dramatic rendezvous established by students of the University of Chicago and presided over by Sterling North and Kenneth Clement, both prominent civic leaders, including Mrs. Cary R. Lewis, who has shown interest in such endeavors for some time, are cooperating in the movement. The plays to be given each evening are by Kevin O'Neil, "The No-Count Boy," and "The Man Who Died at 12 o'clock," by Paul Green, and "Plumer" by Georgia Douglas Johnson. Honey Brown, chosen by King Vidor, to play the role in "Hailabell," a "Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer" production, will not finish the picture. In addition to being seated by illness, she is reported to have shown a temperamental unfitness for work before the cameras. She has gone to Hollywood to take the part in "Henrius is THE HOUSTON, INFORMER, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1929 Physician and Surgeon 409-10 Odd Fellows Temple Phones: Office, Preston 2775 Residence, Capital 4855-85 JOHN WHITTAKER, ATLANTA DEAN, TO TALK AT TUSKEGEE Tukuee Institute, Ala.—(ANP) John Whittaker, dean of Atlanta University, will deliver the alumni address at Tukuee Institute, Saturday evening, April 6, during the annual Whittaker, who was graduated from Tukuee in 1909, has been chosen by his classmates to represent them on this occasion.

The white family received sentences of five years. The prisoners are W. O. Irvin, 19, his wife, 59, and their three sons, Galva, 22, Joseph, 22, and Clinten, 19. They were tried separately in Barton County court at Lamar. The family lived at Foxton, a small mining camp, northeast of Pittsburgh, Kansas. Arrested by Barton County authorities, they faced charges of stealing chickens, Charles Redd, and 19 fowls from Oak Ridge, Richmond County farmers living near the state line. In the trial, chickens alleged to have been stolen by the family were identified in court by their owners. Pittsburgh produce dealers testified that the white family of Irwin—and not negroes as some suspected had sold them about two thousand chickens in the last few months. Defense lawyers argued that the chickens were enclosed in the chicken business. cleared the of the white family cleared up a suspicion held for a long time against Negroes who had been stealing the meat of stealing chickens in the night.

Sin is the desire to in dinge selfish purposes, free from the restraint of eighty authority. At the request of the son, the is the "divided unto them his living." Man is a free being. God has committed to unto man his own destiny. 2. The son's departure (v. 12) Having made the fateful decision, he immediately sought the fulfillment of his cherished purpose. The son could not now endure the presence of his father, so he gathered all together and hastened away. When the sinner casts off allegiance to God, he takes all that he has with him. 3.

A professor of Smith College recently told me of a "religious house party," attended by quite a number of persons who are suffering from one or another psychological aberration. They were so deeply separated, their spiritual, and their enthusiasm fantasical, as they conferred and discussed and prayed and sang and "praised the Lord" for all his goodness to themselves in particular. Their beard was so thick that it gave this: "The Lord has given everything to the elect and we are the elect." But while this was going on, one young fellow, who had not yet lived long enough to arrive at the point of absolute separation between religion and life, thought he would bring in practical everyday matter, and he nearly broke up at that meeting. It was a tough task, and he was not a student College. He noticed that quite a number of his fellow students were "shouting members" of this same "house party." He had also noticed that there were some Negro students in Williams, and that they were finding it difficult to get a clean place to eat in because the better restaurants said to them: "We cannot serve you, but you cannot serve the Williams students will not be able to be ruined. We would just as soon serve you as to serve anybody else, but you cannot expect us to lose all our other customers on account of you." Therefore, these colored boys had mostly to go and eat in the cheaper places—where they must vie with very soiled working people, in their overall, and industrial dirt. These students were not the butt of their dirt smelled just as bad as if they had been bad people. Well, while everybody was praising the Lord and proclaiming "love for all mankind," this poor little practical-minded student happened to remember the plight of these colored boys at Williams. He got right up and begged them to help him, and something should be done specially by the salants who were there present from Williams, to make it possible for clean and decent restaurants to accommodate these black boys when they wanted to eat. But this cold-blooded suggestion seemed to be doing to the religious inflation of that meeting what a hand grenade would do to a blimp balloon. The leader of the group was to forget what they were there for—and as soon as this bearer of ill tings took his seat, the leader sprang up and said with a religious fervor which tended to bring them all back from the earth to the clouds: "Praise the Lord—that's a social question—take social questions; we are here to ask social questions; we are her to get right to it." And that settled it. MASS COMPOSED BY PHILLY ORGANIST Philadelphia, Pa.—(ANP)—Ranaldoph Smith, organist and precenter, is the composer of a new mass in D, and St. Barbahas church rendered this very effectively. The items set to music by him are the Amei Luhi and Agus Amei. The major part of the Amei Luhi is in contrational form and is wonderfully worked out. This is the second mass from the pen of Mr. Smith and it has been wide and church goers throughout the city because of its eclectic atmosphere and melodic charm. Ranaldoph Smith, who is also a member of the celebrated Trouveres, and precenter of the choir of St. Barbahas Church for the most 13 years. Georgia Educator Flays State's Lack of Racial Justice Atlanta, Ga.—Georgia must do greater justice to its Negro population, particularly in regard to educational provisions, before it can hope to succeed. Dr. Phloe T. Durham of the faculty of Emery University, and a member of the Southern Interracial Commission, speaking at the weekly luncheon of the Atlanta Kiwisan Club, will be in attendance to Dr. Durham, must be corrected if the state is to regain the prestige it once enjoyed, are inadequate provisions for public education in general, and the denial by industrial workers of the right of workers to organize and bargain collectively. Dr. Durham's address was well received by the club, which numbers in its membership many of the city's business and professional leaders.

The colored population of this city is only between 1500 and 2000, but Mrs. Pledge sold Walker goods not only to the colored and white people of Stamford, to but to members of both communities. Winning the beautiful automobility by Mrs. Pledge is indicative of the success she has had in business.

CHICAGO READY FOR PLAYGROUND WORKERS' MEET Chicago, IL—(ANP)—E. T. Attwell, field director of the Playground and Recreation Association of America, has recently sent out a call for the second annual conference of recreation workers, to be held at the South Side Boys Club, Club, Chicago. Feh, the director of the conference which was held in this city last year, was so successful in the point of attendance and results that the association has decided to make this midwinter conference a regular feature of its program. The local committee is at work formulating plans for the reception of the delegates and has designated B. B. Church, superintendent of the Boys Club, to oversee the veterinary. All communications from the rooming accommodations should be addressed to the secretary at South Side Boys Club, 3947 South Michigan Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. The committee is anxious to make this year's conference the best that has been held because it is understood that this is the last conference to be held in this city. Playground Association is planning to hold next year's conference in Detroit. Many new features have been incorporated into the program by Mr. Attwell and his assistants which promise even more splendid results. The program is among the innovations are group discussions of topics suggested by workers themselves, and the mid-day lunch discussions which will be led by the staff. The field of recreation. These luncheon discussions, according to advice released by the local group, will be held at the Boy's Club, the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1929 WILEY COLLEGE'S ENDOWMENT EFFORT Recent issues of the Dallas Morning News and Marshall Morning News, daily white newspapers, commented editorially upon the campaign which has been launched to raise $600,000 for the endowment of Wiley College, well-known NEG institution of learning located at Marshall, Texas, presided over by that prince of educators, Dr. Matthew Winifred Dogan. The General Education (Rockerfeller) Board, New York City, has made Wiley a conditional gift, the Marshall school to raise $300,000 to match a gift of the same amount from the Gotham board. Since The Informer was the first newspaper in the country to mention this endowment campaign; and, since this paper is well acquainted with the fine work Wiley College has done and is still acquainted with the higher education of Negro youths; and, believing that ample funding is necessary for expansion. The Informer accords this campaign its unqualified endorsement and sustained support. The policy of the General Education Board is to teach schools, particularly of the Negro race, the lesson of self-help and self-retiance, and as a result most of the gifts made to Negro institutions of learning are conditional on the Negroes and their white friends matching the board's offer on some well-defined basis. While the sum of $300,000 is not a large amount of money, comparatively speaking, it does represent a large sum to be raised for one particular institution or cause; but since Wiley has three years in which to raise this amount ($100,000 per annum for three years) it is sure that the goal will be easily reached, if not subscribed. But this can not be accomplished either by indifference or overconfidence; for many a battle and contest has been lost by overconfidence, which too often lulls the participants to sleep until they awake and find that their side has lost the victory. This must not and shall not obtain in Wiley's drive for $300, $00, and the trustees and president have every right to express Negroes, without regard to denominational connections, to back this effort; and it is a foregone conclusion that the white friends of the Negroes will attack the South and the nation, are going to respond to this laudable cause and most worthy undertaking. The Dallas Morning News makes the following observation in its editorial: "Toward the $600,000 endowment suggested by the Negro Wiley College of Marshall, the board has appropriated $300,000, and in addition $30,000 for current expenses during a three-year period." Wiley is a small college supported by the Methodist Episcopal Church (North). Six hundred thousand dollars is a huge sum in its vision. It might be raised, but only after a long period of solicitation. The gift of half of its present endowment needs the Central Relocation Board must come like a dream of God to the workers in the field. The Marshall Morning News, edited by Hon. Homer M. Price and published in the city where Wiley is located, says editorialist. "The people of Marshall, regardless of race, are very glad that the splendid school for colored youths—Wiley College—has been the recipient of this munificent gift. This institution, presided over by President M. W. Dogan, has the profoundest respect of the white people of Marshall. It is conducted along such lines as have tended through all the years to bring about the most cordial and helpful relations between the races. We have heard it stated that the Negro youths have been a peace officer on its grounds on official business. Its course of study is probably the best of any colored college west of the Mississippi and its influence in the formation of the character of the Negro youths that have attended it has been of the very best. And while it is true it has received a very large sum from the Educational Board, yet it is necessary for the college to raise a very substantial amount to supplement this generous gift. Our counselor has been very patiently done this. We bespeak for this movement the sympathetic attention and aid of both races." NEGRO HOSPITAL BOARD ACCEPTS Since The Informer was the only newspaper in the city, which exposed and attacked the modus operandi at the Houston Negro Hospital, as it related to the Negro board of directors, staff, superintendent and white advisory committee; and, since the board-elect refused to serve under the ten existing conditions, this paper has been asked by several local citizens why the new board has finally agreed to accept the hospital post. This board directed the elected recently, practically all of them declined the preferred post, holding in view that they could not render much service if the white advisory committee, its white representative and the colored superintendent were going to curtail and abridge all the power and functions of the Negro board. After The Informer laid bare the real situation and disclosed the fact that the Negro board, under the then existing system, and practically no voice in the active management and operation of this institution, the colored citizens of Houston held two mass meetings; the last one being attended by two members of the white advisory committee. These two proponents, white citizens and committees assured the colored citizens that the conditions complained of would be rectified within a short time, and that no attempt was being made or would be made to take the hospital away from the colored citizenry. They also made an earnest plea to the newly-elected board members to accept the positions tendered them, and help in a larger hospital and community program. Written correspondence, which passed between one of the new board members and the white representative of the advisory committee, resulted in the definite assurance being made the new board that all of the contents for exercise of proper authority and function by the Negro board would willing be granted. With such assurance the newly-elected board members reconsidered their declinations and decided to serve, hopeful that they can render a definite service to the race and society through this elemenary institution. In response to the invitation, in the main, The Informer feels that the new board sorted wisely in accepting the posts, and this paper wishes them all the success possible in their undertaking, and whatever The Informer can contribute towards the consummation of their program, we herewith offer our services. SELLING HOUSTON TO THE WORLD Readers of the Pittsburgh (Pa.) Courier, one of the leading Negro newspapers of the country, have observed several recent articles from the pen of Floyd J. Calvin, special feature writer for the Keystone State publication, setting forth some mighty fine points about "Heavenly Houston," and the amicable relations existing between the colored and white races in this city. When Mr. Calvin came here during the latter part of December and suggested to a group of colored leaders, mostly members of the colored division of the Houston Commission on Interracial Communication, to publish a factual data about Houston, and thereby impart to the outside world information hitherto unknown regarding local conditions as they favorably affect the colored citizenry, some little opposition developed from certain sources and one local race paper sought to misrepresent both Mr. Calvin, his paper and The Informer. But be that as it will or may, Mr. Calvin got on the job and remained here until he secured sufficient information to write his observations of Houston, and the articles now appearing in the Courier are calculated to do much in "selling" Houston to the rest of the country. Already, the Informer has received several letters from various sections of the country, mostly from former residents of Houston, complimenting and endorsing the "goodwill publicity" for this city appearing in this Northern race publication. The Informer was not numbered among that small group of selfish element which opposed the idea because it did not originate from our "thought tank," and here is one lesson that some of our Houston Needs need to learn and that instanter: To not oppose and object to a good movement or undertaking merely because we are not consulted on the more of the plan, or because we are not consulted on the matter takes form, or because somebody else is going to reap some financial returns as a consequence of their proposition. We should all be deeply interested and profoundly concerned in the welfare of our common city, and we should yield to no man in our community loyalty and civic pride, whether in a goodwill publicity campaign conducted by some outside publication or some organization that does not consult the matter takes form, or because somebody else is going to reap some financial returns as a consequence of their proposition. The Informer takes this occasion to congratulate both Mr. Calvin and the Courier management for these timely and able articles touching upon Houston in such a favorable light; for, admitting that this city is not perfect and ideal (the utopian city does not exist yet on this mundane shore), we hold that Houston is one of the best cities in the country, and when it comes to relations between the two races and the Negro's opportunity for expression and development along any given line without let or hindrance. We will be pardoned for quoting these words from the booster song, "Houston Is a Grand Old Town," composed by ourown Dr. C. B. Johnson, local dentist, musician and member of the celebrated Coleridge-Taylor Choral Club: "I love to sing to my own home town, I've made my mind up to settle down; I live in Houston, the best town in the world, I'm going to build a home for me and my girl." "Houston is marching along, Houston is singing a song. About the Ship Channel she's got down there, The ships are coming from everywhere; Interurbans, busses and trains every day, O, come to H-O-U-S-T-O-N— Houston is a grand old town." BAPTIST AFFAIRS STILL "SCRAMBLED" Before the ink was dry on last week's issue of The Informer, which discussed the alarming conditions existing between the two factions of the Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention of Texas, and the probable loss, at an early date, of the convention's most valuable holdings, Houston College property, news was transmitted to this paper telling of court action at Fort Worth last Saturday. According to the news imparted to this paper, a district judge in Texas county, upon prayer of the Harrison faction of the Texas Baptists, appointed a receiver for the convention, naming William M. McDonald, outstanding race banker and fraternalist, as receiver. It is alleged that the court ordered the secretary of the Wilson faction to turn over all records and everything belonging to the convention, held in his custody, to the receiver; which action tends to further complicate matters and to considerably "scramble" Baptist affairs in this state. As stated before in these columns, it is regrettable and deplorable that these so-called Christian ministers and leaders can not harmonize their differences, and cease resorting to civil and criminal action for an adjudication of their differences; but apparently, the decision seems that it is a fight to the last ditch and the knife to the hilt. In the meantime conventional causes are suffering, and the doors of Houston College, local Baptist institution of learning, are only remaining open through the grace of kind Providence. Monday, which should be spent for missions and education, is being expended for fat lawyer fees and court costs; and where prayer ought to obtain, politics seems to hold sway, and the insistence desire for office and "trimmingss" has created a rift and widening of the gap among the Baptist preachers and leaders as to cause the constituents of the denomination to become exasperated and disgusted. If the Baptist laymen would have these ministers to understand that they are not going to support the work until peace is declared and conventional affairs are again in safe and sound hands, this situation could be clarified within a very short time; but (and to relate) it appears that even the laymen are lined up with opposing views of the same Baptist brethren seems to be a forlorn hope. (Let us pray!) OPINIONS The Fourteenth Amendment By KELLY MILLER, Howard University, Washington, D. C. The fourteenth amendment is what might be called, in baseball parlance, a sacrifice hit. It never had any intrinsic merit in itself, but was calculated to effect an ulterior purpose. After the passage of the thirteenth amendment, slavery ceased to exist as an organized institution. Representation in congress by the original constitution was based upon free persons and other persons, in the ratio of five to three. Logically the fourteenth amendment was necessary. All free persons, and all persons were then free, automatically acquired equal weight as a representative entity. The devise of curtailment of representation was merely a make-shift to induce the former to abstain from the elective franchise. It never was intended to limit the basis of representation, except to meet the exigencies of a local and temporary situation. The membership of the house of representatives and of the electoral college was limited without regard to sex, age, race, nationality, or the right of franchise. Women whom the fathers never dreamed of enfranchising counted equally with men; children who were expressly excluded by the age required to be foreigners and native born contributed equally to the quota. Only the slave and the Indian, not taxed, were restricted or excluded on the basis of apportionment. There never was, and there is not, any serious intention of allowing this original intention to be exercised in the form of political or natural peculiarities. this occur there would be little hope for the black man's political future. Deer Lee: It means to me that the wine policy is to focus effort on the enforcement of the fifteenth amendment which forbids discrimination in the franchise of women, and which were accomplished, the Negro would certainly have little further grounds of complaint by reason of reasonable and equitable limitations which any state might seem best to place upon the right to vote. Such restrictions, in the end, tend to the tendency of democracy all over the world is in the direction of extension rather than of restricting the franchise. The nineteenth amendment extending the right to vote women in the political tie is running.

It is too painfully manifest that the American people have no inclination to enforce the constitution when it suits their mood not to do so. The eighteenth amendment is a striking example of the lack of principle. In the present mood of mind the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments have been and will be ignored with impunity. Congress alone has the power to enforce these amendments, but congress does not choose to exercise that power. There is an exception to the general except public opinion which in this instance is cold and apathetic. The president also follows public sentiment rather than the technical requirement of his catholic of office. The only possible remedy to modify public opinion at present we have sufficient efficient means of accomplishing. Well, I's don't tuck back well I need bout gittin' even wild�.�urt.

The fourteenth failed from the outset, uttered it, to effect the purpose for which it was intended. So the fifteenth amendment was set aside, and the former expedition had failed to accomplish by indirection. The fourteenth amendment has never been enforced, and in all human probability never will be. Congressman Crumpacker of Ohio some twenty-five or so years ago could hardly muster enough reinforcement to get a second to his motion of constitution, and the spirit of both of these high souns Americans to insist that the people uphold and enforce their own organic law. But like the voice crying in the wilderness no one hears or heeds their wailing. Seven presidents and nine admirals since President Harrison, and yet no one of them has lifted its little finger to enforce the fourteenth amendment. It is a prediction that Mr. Howard after his probable eight years in the White House, will leave the situation unchanged, and he inherited it from Mr. Coolidge. Congress is now passing a reapportionment act. There has been a deliberate and studied violation of the plain letter of the constitution for ten years. The electoral college and the constitution of congress have been involved in the government itself and all of its acts are involved in deep duplicity. No one heeds the exactions of constitutional niceties. The thing works, and the government still lives, although the provisions of the constitution have been brought to nought. Just how long this has been a question which gives the true patriot serious concern. Ex-President, and now Chief Justice Taft, has sounded the warning that lawlessness if allowed to continue unchecked, destroys the nation. Violation of the constitution is the fountain head of law.

CONTENTMENT By Georgia Douglass Johnson We are forever wishing for things just things, many and various, and expecting that happiness will come to us with each new possession, each added toy. But alas! we remain unsatisfied, still longing and pressing forward with seeking fingers toward newer holdings. During the campaign the Chicago Tribune queried a number of candidates for congress as to whether or not they would uphold enforcement of the two human rights amendments. The answers were mainly in the affair for cam; sign consumption only. No candidate for congress biding for support of a patriotic constituency would dare openly declare his opposition to the constitution. Those known to be openly avowed opposed to the human rights amendment declared for its enforcement as it remained in the organic law. Now, my folks aint gin it awl up yit, not by er jug full.

W. wilberforce Williams, 3445 Stake Street, Chicago, Ill. The tour has who has beheaded the city year each. The Negro has been clamoring in and out of season for the rigid enforcement of the fourteenth amendment and the reduction of Southern race in the South, vindicative. He resents, and naturally enough, the thought that the white Democrats should proffiter on his representative capacity while denying him participation in the political power of the South, and is ethically virtuous and arouses the animosity of the victimized race. His protest reminds us of an infant crying in the night with no language but a cry. His demand for full enlistment in the military attitude towards political virtue, but merely illustrates the human tendency to scream when the pinches. If he cried as loudly for the eighteenth as for the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, he would carry more moral weight. Dr. William, who is one of Chicagos go-forward physicians and surgeon at the University of Chicago, staff of the Provident Hospital, further announced that this year educator and other individuals interested in the country would be in clued in the program.

It is very much to be doubted whether the enforcement of the fourteenth amendment would redound to the political advantage of the Negro. The states which are allowed to violate this constitutional provision with impunity, decide or enforce, to live up to its observance, they would doubtless prefer limited representations, rather than participation in the franchise.

Illustrated FEATURE SECTION THE HOUSTON INFORMER What the Race Owes to Frederick Douglass GEORGE S. SCHUYLER Feature Editor BORN Tuckahoe,Md. Feb. 9. ABOLITION FIRST PRIZE, $10 Miss Ruth D. Anderson 2828 Erato Street New Orleans, La. HE American Negro's so- cial heritage is greatly enriched by his noble and exemplary lives that of Frederick Dou- glas. As part proof that we are worthy heirs to HE American Negro's social heritage is greatly enriched by such noble and exemplary lives as that of Frederick Douglass. As part proof that we are worthy heirs to this social heritage we owe to this great leader a realization of what he stood for and a willingness to let this realization encourage to contemplate visions in the pursuit of which bleeding feet we saw. Frederick Douglass was an eloquent leader and an author of truth who always dared to stand for the right. He was not repelled or even stunned by persecution or humiliation. We owe it to him to incarnate in our lives his virtues. What great men devise little men at least may copy. We cannot be martyrs for freedom from slavery; but we can sponsor political and social freedom, which has not yet been attained; or we --- can advocate the abolition of some evil of national or racial significance. We owe it to Frederick Douglass to remain true to our own people and to exhaust our reservoirs of ideas for their welfare. We owe it to this great man to let his life be a galvanizing force in our lives which impels us to action. His was a time of beginnings for the race, ours is a time ripe for accomplishment. It is no tribute for us merely to review his life and works; but it is a tribute and is our debt to him to take his life as an example, to look deeply into and to mount seemingly insurmountable barriers, proving ourselves martyrs for social, political, economic and educational freedom. To hereby produce men and women whose worth will be recognized by the community, state, or even the country is our debt to Frederick Douglass—the debt of a race. SECOND PRIZE, $7 Mrs. Gertrude C. Hopkins 178 West 137th Street New York City Section 2—Saturday, February 9, 1929 For every Negro to exemplify the life of Frederick Douglass would be the greatest tribute an appreciative race could bestow upon the memory of this immortal statesman. To fight for a cause, as he fought; to be as uncompromising, in the fight for right, as he was; to be as true, honest, sincere, whole-hearted in the fight against racial oppression, as he was—are the only ways to pay our debt of gratitude to one who suffered and dared, that we might enjoy; privileges made possible by his many sacrifices. Let us consider five items that we will place in the debit column of our ledger in our account with Mr. Douglass. We owe it to him to— 1. Become better educated ourselves in order to better educate our children; 2. Influence the ignorant and rowdy of our race, teach them the value of pride in self, pride in conduct, pride in race; 3. Refrain from the use of the word "migger," and reprimand those who habitually use the word; 4. Be uncompromising with jim-crowism, avoiding all places where se-orgation is practiced; 5. Deport ourselves as good citizens should, demanding, expecting and accepting nothing less than what is due law-abiding citizens. To wipe out these items we observe that Education will eliminate ignorance and rowdyism; the elimination of these two attributes would eradicate our habit of race belittlement, thus giving to us a deeper sense of pride; pride in one's self begets respect; respect demands; consideration–fair-play–from others; fair-play offers equality of opportunity; opportunity means the open door to freedom and happiness. To aspire to and attain freedom and happiness in the fullest sense of the words was the dearest dream of Frederick Douglas. We must carry on in his name–for that is a duty we owe to his memory. THIRD PRIZE, $5 John W. Douglas 26 Thomas Street Clean, Wholesome and Refreshing Foreign Advertising Representatives: W. B. Ziff Co., 608 S. Dearborn St., Chicago, Ill. DIED Anacostia, D.C. Feb. 20, 1895 PLOMAT Douglass Newark, New Jersey The progress made by the Negro in the past sixty-six years is attributable largely to the pioneer efforts of Frederick Douglass. This is our debt to him. First, the story of his life refutes the theories of Negro inferiority. His natural abilities were far greater than many who claimed to be his superiors. He towered above those who attempted to belittle him. He was the great orator in an arc when oratory was in flower; he was an able writer at when America boasted of its literary evidence; born in the depressing environment of slavery, he lifted himself by the sheer force of an indomitable personality to the heights of success. But this success is not measured so much by what Douglas did for himself as by what he accomplished for his race. Himself a fugitive slave, he fought the system with all the power of his fiery eloquence and trenchant pen. He early became connected with that stanchum triumvirate (Continued on page 11) ```markdown ``` Race Actress Attains Fame Eugene Horner Took a By EDWARD G. PERRY Evelyn Ellis. She is the female star of "Pergy" - the Theater could proclaim, playing the part of Bess. A member of a dramatic company in the theater, Evelyn Ellis played the piano and made the way to the stage, being too tired to play. One day a fellow-member of the theater played that was being produced by one of the companies. She told him she could not say They were to pay $1800 dollars per week, and the play would run two weeks. Mine Hills was buying a coat-suit and hat to match, on which she had paid down.

It was best born in Boston, and reached in Albany, N.Y., during her early childhood, one can easily understand her mother's objections to her daughter appearing on the stage. But late has its way, and she again appeared in a play as a maild. Later she appeared in several sketches with Frank Wilson, now playing the the role in the Theater Guild's "Toy" Then came her association with the Lafayette Rock Players, first doing small parts, and then inquire roles. Miss Hills is proud of her early connection with this group of players and often speaks with the greatest gratitude of those older actors who helped her to acquire a knowledge that they are which no dramatic school can teach.

GARVIN NCE upon a time there was a lead with pronounced penitentiate who early in life bore all the esarmarks of being a whis on the piano. When a small child he had a habit of crawling up on the stool and whanging out diamonds with a seat that caused his parents a severe pain in the head, but also instilled them with an idea that their darling one was destined to make Paderewski look to his laurels.

He was lost by Miss Ellis, and if the rest of the company had reached the level of her performance this all. Negro production of 'Romeans' would have been all we had hoped. In 1927 K. H.

Dorothy and Dubose Heyward's play, the character Boes, which is the leading character's part in the play, was given Miss Ellis. Since the opening night of the play some of the leading dramatic critics in the country have said her interpretation of the character is done with depth and understanding, in-tense grace, a sense of artistic proportion that prevents the character from being overdone. as "Leisle Belle" She has been married, and divorced on a mutual agreement. Social life has very little that attracts her, no most of her leisure hours are spent at home, where she is devoted to her mother and stepfather. Being pretty, her admirers are many, and posts are one of the types of men she attracts most, for they have written many vermes about and to her. Incidentally she loves to read poetry, and many moments are spent with her favorite—Heine, Oscar Wilde, Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Contee Cutton, Walt Whitman and Langston Hughes. She has great confidence in the ability of the young Negro, and often discusses his problems, defending his viewpoints. Although she is a very delicate person, she gives all of her strength to her work as an actress. Each day sees her star beaming brighter, throwing a pleasant ray for others who follow. which was indicative of eccentricity, the necessary attribute of genius. The old folks gave the youth every chance to develop his talent.

Mrs. Peterkin's book will be of absorbing interest to its readers whether or not they know anything about the black folk on plantations in the remote sections of South Carolina. It is much good literature that you expect the characters to sleep right. Julia Peterkin from the pages at any time. The author has pictured this side of life understandingly and accurately, without patronage or caricature. Her Negroes are not clowns and hours but merely human beings caught in the meshes of fate and environment. Having lived the greater part of her life on the plantation of which she writes, the author knows, but is completely the complete part of their trials, triangles and triumphs. In "Scarlet Sister Mary" Mrs. Peterkin seems to have surpassed in excellence both her "Crown Thursday" and "Black April". Brilliely the story is that of a young Negro girl, Mary, as orphan, ignorant and unlevered, like the rest of the Negroes on the plantation. She marries a guy black fellow, July, against the will and advice of her guardians. Mary is Morn Hensack and gripped to the story.

BUN NO. 1-LABOR LEADER H AVE you ever stopped and wondered how some men and women become successful in life? Have you ever thought that possibility you too could do something worth while? If you have, then look very closely at this signature. It has some very important secrets that you will find interesting. Mr. Lancaster is the general secretary and treasurer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, and is a very successful man. He is widely known, but his signature as it is written here tells us some very important facts about Mr. Lancaster and why by has made a success. In the first place, Mr. Lancaster does everything that he undertakes with all the ability that he has. He puts his very best into his work. He is enthusiastic and ambitious and not afraid to go ahead. He thinks quickly and is not afraid of response. He is very determined about everything that he does. When he is working, he has a lot of time to do it, he believes anything he puts when he heart and soul into it. He is a natural leader. He could also make a success. He has a number of professions because he has the ability to lead—to do things. BECRETS OF SUCCESS These are the secrets of Mr. Lann-easter's success—all of which are the same as the secret of how you can succeed are shown in your writing. Where Mr. Lannaster has business talent you may have a talent—and you will be the best writer. You can be a doctor or a lawyer. A girl who has talent for writing should not try to show up to the school. This is exactly why your handwriting secrets should be considered so closely. They are the secrets of your success—and you can't make any difference whether you write a "good" hand or one that is hard to read. Many very famous men and women do not write plains of words but are the only writing shows their talents. You may have a friend whose writing is much more easily read, or you must be more than the best writer. The point to remember is this: Your handwriting shows your talents, it helps you to be more than the best writer. All of this we can know because of a science which was discovered something like 190 years ago, and which is used all over the world. The German kaiser would not permit a man to command a submarine until he could take the handwriting of the man in the world. The writer of the book writing whether they were loyal and honest and courageous. The German government could not afford to make a mistake—and you cannot make any failure—the most of every talent you have. MAY HAVE LITERARY TALENT You may have literary talent, and instead of using it you may be trying to teach school or be a doctor. You may have natural business ability, but unless you know it, and use it, you will miss the one great opportunity to make a success of your life. Of course, there is another side to this matter. It is a very important one, too. Your handwriting not only shows the way for you to make a business or professional success, but it also shows how you can make more friends. For many a young man and woman it has meant happiness in really knowing each other. You may not make as many friends as you would like. It may be that you are not popular—and you wonder why. Your handwriting has these secrets too, because it shows whether you are sharp-tongued or makind or mean. The man who is decifelil will show it in his handwriting, just as clearly as the handwriting shows generosity or kindness. Blanche Taylor Dickinson GREAT PREPARATION FOR ASTHMA Rediscovered!

Great Negro Empire Abyssinia Flourishes THE LAST OF FREE APPEAL The Free Appeal Company, N.Y., H. B.

Accordingly, his book Tome with the exception of the copyright, he received the copyright copyright. The last of Free Appeal Company is a company cymatically and understandably, although it is not the common fault of most authors to commit the impassion to compete to lead the impression that Nagara deserves the fact that Free Appeal Company has been trained in a trainer in South Carolina. Ever since the dawn of history, the Abyssinians have been free and unimproved. The clerics are very fully repulsed the forces of Egypt,وتام, Turkey and Italy. The present emperor, Ilan Tafari, claims to die of a devouring and the Queen of Sheba, and is a son of brains, redementment and vision, working diligently to keep his country out of the clerics of the whole Britain, whose colonies surround the country. In order to keep this ancient empire at their order, they are always to be the only one of the most appropriate ones between themselves not to permit any divorce to enter Abyssinia. Mr. MacTrough devotes much to the same kind of a "divine" of the country. The country is rich in natural resources and has a population of ten million. It is especially important to cover the costs of covid-related costs when they are secretly scheming to partition the country between them. The author of the�ation of his life and his own writing will game and devote an entire chapter to the position of women in Abyssinia, which is certainly an eye-to-eye and very important to the people who are more intelligent. Certainly the marriage and olivary laws are much more intelligent. - Religion plays an important part in Abyssinian life, the land being the first of the first of the world today, and its church of greater antiquity than the Catholic church, with colorful rites and corestime. The church has been the most popular church in the world. Altogether this book is well worth the reading. The Colored Primitive Baptist Church was organized in 1865 at Columbus, Tenn.
