H. Austin, a white leeve man, was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter by the jury and sentenced to one year in prison, here Tuesday in connection with the drowning of Lige Shoulders, a member of the construction gang. Searcy, an official showed that Austin fired at Shoulders and him to "jump in the Little Red River and swim away." Shoulders was unable to swim but complied with orders when he was threatened with a gun, and drowned. Cecil Berger, a 12-year-old boy at the camp, testified that Austin had given the order and threatened to kill Shoulders if he did not carry out i instructions. Tom Faith a nd Homer Stewart, white fisherman, declared that they had seen Shoulders plunge to his death while Austin held a gun on him. Others testified that Austin was responsible for the drowned man. Basing his case upon this testimony, the attorney for the state used the jury to return a verdict convicting him of murder and that a death sentence be imposed. The jury, however, after short deliberations returned a verdict of guilty of involuntary manslaughter and Austin will serve one year in prison for the killing.

The plans are made out for presentation to the boards of directors of the companies who according to authoritative advises, are in an agreeable mood. The charges grew out of the testimony of W. L.

BE SURE YOU GET YOUR COPY VOODOO DOCTOR SUED BY WOMAN; SPIDER IN DOPE Jackson, Mina. —(ANP) —A decomposed spider in a bottle of medicine, an herb "doctor," and $10,000 damages, are humbled together in a suit transfused United States court district court for the State of New York, slapp, Jackson division, from the circuit court of Covington County. Claiming that she became "violently ill, and nauseated and paralyzed and could not speak or breathe and became unconscious," and "came near the edge of the suit against H. R. Redmond, the Negro herb doctor, and Reese McAnney, the man on whose property "Redmond camps," are and be to located. She declared that she got two shots in November 29, 1928, took a portion of the medicine immediately, suffering violent disturbances, and that a Collins physician later diagnosed her case an ease of poisoning. An examination of the bottle, from which the spider was taken, revealed the presence of a "dead decomposed spider," the plaintiff alleges. The case was transferred from Judge W. J. L. Cranford court at Collierville to federal court, the answer to which was that the accused was asked is for more than $3,000 and Redmond is a "resident and citizen" of Washington parish, Louisiana, whereas the woman plaintiff is a resident of Collins, Covington County, Mississippi. "Doech" Redmond came into note, in 1928, when state board of health authorities and the attorney-general's office charged him with acting as a 'diagnostician without a license to practice medicine. The case brought in the chancery court was dismissed for want of jurisdiction. New Orleans. La.—(ANP)—Melvin Bower, 28 years old, is a result of a pistol duel with Henry Bower, who occurred in the yard of Jones' home. Police say that Jones had suspected—his wife of being friendly with Bower. He pretended he was going to sit out at labs and left the house. Bower was arrested and carried and lay in hiding. Sometimes later his wife and Bower entered the yard together. Jones jumped out from his hiding place, and the two began a fight. Jones' shots were fired. One of Jones builts struck Bower in the forehead and penetrated the brain. A shot from Bower's pistol passed through Jones' arm. Following Bower's death, he was charged by the police with murder. Ancient Statute Will Prove Negro's Undoing In Georgia Atlanta, Ga.—(ANP)—While many declare that the resurrection of a law passed here in 1833, which is similar to the "Banque Law," will do much toward terminating the present crime-wave which is sweeping the state, there are those who believe that it will mean the crowding of the city and convict camps with Negroes. Those who express the latter opinion, point out that Negroes are arrested in Georgia on the alightest pretext and convicted of felonies by jurors on which their race is denied representation, that the court offers little or no protection to Negroes charged with criminal acts and that from this ready hanging over their heads, second offenders will be numbered. In other words, there will be a dark day for the Negro. One prominent leader declared: "We will either have to build more prison or use the buildings in better roads." Judge has been instructed that the winner is won the supreme court in all future convictions will invoke "the benefit of the law." COLOR PROBLEM LOOMS LARGE IN SOUTH AFRICA New York City—(ANP)—Press dispatches from Cape Town, South Africa, indicate that the question as to whether South Africa will be the country of white men or Africans is one of much importance at the present time. A manifesto issued Wednesday expressed complete disagreement with the native policy of the South African party headed by General Jan. C. Snuts who recently urged a British government to applaud to the government not to make the native question an issue in the coming elections. According to Premier Hertzog and Minister of Interior Malan, the continued existence of the white man is at stake and if such a plan is carried out, 64,000 Europeans would be in the union's 1,800,000 whites with an increase of more than 13,000,000 natives. Continuing the manifesto points out that South Africa is faced by the choice of two ways, one seeking a solution through preservation of South Africa for the whites and the other through turning the government into a more militarized state, as "a sure abyss and as the final destruction."

The boy for some reason had made a fire in the barn, which was filled with hay, and it is believed that he was the source of the fire and unable to find his way to safety. MELVIN CHISUM TALKS POLITICS; MOTON BOOSTED BY J. H. HOWARD For the Associated Negro Press Washington, D. C.—The Howe hospital administration will deal entirely different with the Negro from what Coolidge has done, was the opinion of Melvin Chium, field secretary of the National Negro Press Association, in an interview here Saturday. Stricken with a cold and confined to bed in the Whitehall Hotel, Mr. Chium, who is in close touch with men of affairs, and who perhaps has a bible conception of what goes on in the political situation, man of the group, told freely of the political situation. In fact, much more freely than is his wont to do. According to Mr. Chium, President Coolidge in the early days of his ad- ministration became disgusted by the rationalized committees, and the scores of who attempted to force themselves upon him in the role of "race leaders." As a result he assumed his attitude of indifference which differentiated his whole administration. Recognizing Mr. Howe's wonderful power of organization, the indications are, Mr.-Chium pointed out, that he will sidestep this annoyance from the beginning. The Mr. Howe"s reply to Chium, "that Mr. Howe"s look upon upon Robert R. Moton of Tunkegue, the logical leader of the World War and the flood catastrophe in Mississippi, has convinced him that comes up to his ideal as leader. Mr. Chium further expressed the view that the industrial field is where the brother will be given a chance to work. He said he would give business will be on the wane. SOUTH CAROLINA WOMEN FINANCE GIRLS' BUILDING By JESSE O. THOMAS (For the Associated Negro Press) The State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs of South Carolina has just dedicated a new $10,000 building at the Fairfield Industrial School, located ten miles from the city of Columbia. The women of the state are supported by the plishment in the interest of the unprotected and under-priviliged girls of the race. This school was founded in 1916. With the exception of $2,000 annually appropriated by the legislature of the state and $500 from the city of Columbia, the funds were obtained through the efforts of the South Carolina_Federation of Colored Women. In 1926 the legislature withdrew its appropriation. During that same year, both buildings were lost by fire, as a result of which the arrangement of the school was to house the girls at St. Mary's Mission, Columbia. The withdrawal of the appropriation by the state, instead of discouraging these courageous and consecrated women, to have spurned them to greater endearment. The writer can contend, for example, no cause more worthy, no task more difficult. Men and women of the group, who are in good circumstances, the country over, should feel called upon to respond to the irresistible appeal from the seventy-five otherwise homeless women, who are now housed in the new dormitory of an institution with no assured income.

National Benefit Life Insurance Company BY WILLIAM PICKENS (For the Associated Negro Press) The best classified office of any Negro business in America is the visitor's office, the visitor at the general offices of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company in New York, and the annex and an annex, and every department is in a separate room and under an exert, from photostat and from the filing of cancelled policies. A few years ago S. W. Rutherford, founder, secretary and general manager, of the $6 worth of furniture, rented space once, and perhaps a job of general manager of the businesses. Now he has a coeval financial concern, owning the building in which he first rented, controlling an over-ground block around the block, and employing so many hundreds of people that the weather when they meet in a body, like the Cudhyn Chocolate Works, is an audience with an audience in a few minutes which in intelligence and numbers will be worthy of the time of any lecture. FILIPINOS WILL DEMAND LIBERTY FROM UNCLE SAM Manila, P. L. - (ANP) - If the plans, which are brewing at the present time, are carried out, Manuel Quezon, president of the Philippine senate, will preside before the United States to fight for the liberty of the Philippines. The plans followed the discussion of the Timberlaake resolution, now before the United States congress, which would limit the dairy free imports from all countries to 900,000 tons and place all sugar above this figure on the same tariff basis as imports from points which do not now receive preferences. Observations here indicate that the lawmakers are practically unanimous in favor of complete severance of the political relationship between the islands and the United States and it is planned to instruct Senator Quezon to appear before the United States senate. The senator has expressed his willingness to do so, even at the peril of his health. --- Fish, assistant to the president; (15) Brown, assistant manager of agencies; (16) Dau, director; (17) D. L. K.

ACCLAIM GARNER GREATEST TENOR OF NEGRO GROUP Chicago—(ANP)—George Garner, the international star, first returned from Europe after two years of study and concert work in England and on the continent, appeared in several heralds before he was hailed in Wednesday morning's Heald-Examiner as the host of the Norton tenors by Glenn Dillen Gunn, critic for that newsman and a celebrated teacher of music. All of the daily panners were lavish in their praise of the distinguished artist, saying buryt not merely to honor the tenor but to profess his profession, but also to his understanding and stage bearing. He attempted a particularly difficult program, including the old Italian Caratti, Schubert, Hedder, and old English songs. All were done understandably, beautifully and uniquely. His singing of spirituals advanced by himself, Burleigh, and Dawson, enriched the program. It is significant, in view of the comment of some of our artists, that the largest number of colored persons who have ever listened to a colored singer in Orchestra Hall were out to hear Mr. Garner and that they constituted at least 86 per cent of the patrons of the hall which was ninety percent of the concert. The concert was promoted by the Chicago Urban League. Mr. Garner left Sunday for Ottawa, Canada, where he is to sing on the night of the sixth of February for Lord and Lady Willington before the members of the Canadian parliament which convenes shortly thereafter. On the ninth of February, Mr. Garner will take the steamship to New York, where he will travel the principal cities of the United States next autumn. SPOUSE FAILED TO RETURN TO MATE; FIXER LOCKED UP SPOUSE FAILED TO RETURN TO MATE; FIXER LOCKED UP Gulfport, Miss. — (ANF) — John Scott, "voooood," doctor, was bound over to the grand jury under $500 bound by Justice H. D. Moore, Tuesday afternoon on a charge of obtaining murder false pretence. Scott, who weighs 310 pounds, was arrested at the insistence of Leuce Taylor, Mississippi City, who claimed he paid the "doctor" $31 to influence his extradited wife to return to him. Taylor claimed that he faithfully complied with the instructions of the "conjuror" which were written to him. Taylor has sketches and dress it with a few drops of magic oil each day and let no one touch it. "The magic oil" was furnished by Scott. Taylor preferred charges of false pretence against the "doctor" when his wife failed to return. It is said a few other Negroes along with his wife have been fleeced by Scott, who gives 2615 Washington Avenue as his New Orleans address. BARBERS ORGANIZE AT CRESCENT CITY New Orleans, La.—(ANP) P.

Arlington Wilson, 902 Good Street, Dallas, Texas My Dear Brother Wilson: As I watch the parade of events connected with our Baptist Missionary union, and reflect the struggles and sac- rifices of the denomination, in the days less fraught with intellect and money than ours, I venture again to approach you on the subject of a unit brotherhood in the ranks of the above named organization, where I have the power that lawsuits for judgments and foreclosures will con- tinue to threaten and obtain, and fine mercy in the bowels of our creditors. Nor can we be hopeful of meeting these obligations which are just so far as the creditors are concerned with the frequency, either under one leader or two. I feel that there are some fundamental principles involved in the con- tions of our brethren which might be discovered, and which might be found worthy of sacrificing the lesse- sor, if a quiet, sober and unselfish could be had between you and me. COLUMBUS PIONEER DEAD Columbus, Texas.—James Windle, a pioneer of this community, passed away last week and was interred here. His brother, Robert Windle, Bay City farmer, attended the funeral rites. FLEETING MOMENTS In an age when every minute counts, and the informed man is usually the successful one, is it wise to waste the best moments of your morning efficiency operating a transportation vehicle and looking for (or walking from) a place to park all day... when street cars pass nearby, piloted by operators only too glad to drive while you read... shouldering the responsibility and hurrying you to work? Houston Electric Co. Jeff L. Alexander, Mgr. Fairfax 7171 If you think well of the idea; if you think that such could be done; if you would like to see the Baptists together, even if personal ambitions are not so strong, you should conference and suggest that it be had either on the campus of Houston College or at the Bryan Orphan Home on some date in the near future which you might find convenient to yourself. After this conference our findings may be presented to a committee of our respective groups. I beg also to state that after Feb 28, it might not be convenient for me until March 25. I do not hesitate to assert that the property and union of our convention to our children and their children if we are willing to pay the price which, when measured by the returns will be very small and of little value. I am still conscious of the fact that in the case of each other, we are still brothers or sinners. I believe it also possible to have a better understanding. I shall安 an early reply. I am 'uncerely yours for a united convention, E L. HARRISON ROETTS DEDICATE FINE RES IDENCE; FRIENDS AT EVENT Dr. and Mrs. R. O. Roett are worthy recipients of a big flock of congratulations and felicitations from their large host of friends, and this is one of the most conveniently and comfortably domiciled in a magnificent new bungalow at 3274 Holman Avenue. Some months ago Houston people were shocked and saddened to learn that a friend in Street had been destroyed by fire and that the happy little children, Catherine and Rupert, Jr., had been threatened by the flames and smoke. The friends are happy now that the dwelling and home facilities have been restored and the elegance and beauty—happy because Dr. Roett is a favorite among the physicians of Houston, and Mrs. Roett is no less popular as a church worker and a member of the representative social circles. Father A. A. Birch of St. Luke Episcopal Mission, and Rev. J. H Lovell of Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church, a few evenings ago with the Roett family—the sister, Miss Bethel Bryant, Carter Wesley and J. also being present and conducted and conducted formally dedicating the new house as the future home of the happy family Symbolic of his headship and directorship was presented with a door key; likewise in keeping with her high privilege as mother, trainer and comforter of Roett was presented with a Bible. At the close of the service dinner at the and a happy social hour was enjoyed. Eat Everything without Fear of Indigestion Are there lots of foods you can't drink? Dine while the rest enjoy them?

To the Board Members Assembled of the Texas Baptist Foreign Mission Convocation fully conscious of the authority invested in you by the constitution of the convention during the interim (between sessions) to fill all vacancies by reason of resignations, death or death of a member of the convention in general. For quite five years, beginning in 1924, when the convention was torn asunder, I have served with me in the ord of which I am extremely proud of the ord which I can earn over books and accounts to eye in accounting with no fear. I have served over your peaceful and inspiring spirit over your courage not because satan has not sought to enter but because he has not found a way through which to enter. If I should remain that I would not still remain, though we are in the midst of a try to all of those who have been paved This comes to say that at the regular midwinter session of the executive Foreign Mission Convention, which convened with the Mt. Roe Baptist Church, B. M. Harrison, resigned the presidency of the Foreign Mission Convention so that his entire time was spent great B. M. and E. Convention, of which is the honored president. Behind his brilliant achievements during the four decades over the destinies of the Foreign Mission Convention, his resignation was made by the Texas Baptist Foreign Mission last May, in the mt. Zion Baptist Church, Ft. Worth, as its president. Each time the convention has elected Dr. Harrison as its president, it has been a source of pleasure to him with a yoke-fellow in Christ, and for four years it has been an unfailing source of pleasure to me to receive the program put over during Dr. Harrison's regret, and eulogies for the constructive program put over during Dr. Harrison's acceptance his resignation and unanimously elected me to succeed Dr. Harrison as president of said con I have given faithful, unflagging service in the cause of foreign missions in the Texas Baptist Foreign Mission Convention through a long career of service during the tenure of the Texas Baptist Foreign Mission Convention of the administration of the sainted Dr. P.

TEXAS BAPTISTS DOING BUSINESS PRESTON STATES Some of our brethren and friends speak and write as if the Baptists of Texas are on the border of eternal dissolution and destruction. The Negro Baptists of Texas are coming into national business that should have been accomplished ten years ago. When domestic, civic or religious relations become complexed and unbearable they should be adjusted by legal and fair means. We found the crown of France lying on the ground and I picked it up with the sword. France has a strong democracy supplanted democracy. This was the condition that prevailed in the ranks of Texas Baptists. We had a religious battle for "liberty, equality and fraternity" the Baptists, who are under the leadership of Rev. E. L. Harrison, are few militants. In 1987 he desired a change in Tex- as. On learning that Dr. A. L. Boone would not be an applicant for ree- cognition to the presidency of the conen- M. B. REV. E. W. PERRY, pastor Taboraecia Baptist Church, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and president of the Oklahoma Baptist Church, a midst of a soul-saving effort at Antioch Baptist Church, 315 Rikin of Oklahoma, and Rev. Rerry, recognized as one of the leading revivalists of his state and the majority of the Baptists of Texas decided to ask Dr. E. L. Harrison of Houston to accept the position of pastor, and Parts to assist and did aid Dr. E. L. Harrison to the presidency of the congregation. The powers that held the official record and sword counted us out, and women and men who were supporters of Rev. Harrison. Rev Wilson was appointed pastor and choked down the throats of liberty-loving Baptists who swore that At Paris in 1927, the Wilson support man in 1928, and again the Wilson supporters put some of our best men in the hands of the city police; even had they been taken to their mouth in the convention. Peaceful Knox, lamb-like William of Port Francis and the sympathetic and princely Gordon of Houston were organized to march in the bunch of Christian (?) ministers had arrested. But they worked their plan too slow. The convention was organized in church. The convention was in fine shape, the police came in. But while we were searching the boulevards of Sherman the Wilson people took advantage of our absence while they thought we were in jail. More than that, Wilson and his followers split the convention. I will ask who split the State Sun Convention and the State B. Convention who split the State Ministers' Convention Mission Convention of Texas? There is not a man in Texas or this side of Harrison people had a hand in this affair unless he is so ignorant and untruthful that he can not comprehend The Star is locked up and Houston College has been trying to run with the team, but the team is locked up with 16 pupils. After many false statements about Houston College, the team has been trying to get it and all we seemed to have had are the books of the hands of a receiver. The books are tary, and President (?) Wilson and President (?) Wilson are in the hands of a sort of offender. M. McDonald of Ft. Worth, Texas, when you ask the receiver, I will tell you about the writing I will tell you about the writing. Respectfully, A. A.

Cleveland,land to (ANP)-In a statement issued to the *In association Negro Press representative here Monday morning, Councilman Thomas W. Fleming, who was found guilty of assaulting a police officer, brieled Friday, declared that he was innocent of the charges, was a victim of a political plot and would expose the entire affair to the world in his fight to prove his innocence: "I am the victim of an unholy campaign which was ceaselessly waged against an organization in Cleveland, Ohio. A conspiracy was entered into with one of our daily newspapers to bring attention against me. The charges having been entered into by this newspaper to prejudice the community. "In it facts were distorted, falsehoods were selected before whom it was falsely created which never existed. It was in such an atmosphere that a jury selected before whom it was fairly impartial to which I was entitled. The verdict was as unjust as possible." "I am innocent of all charges brought against me and shall prove my innocence," he insisted. My fight for vindication is now on. I expect to expose to the people of Ireland, where I have lived for 38 years. I have friends and friends and well-wishers all over the country, the foul methods employed to bring about my accusation and conviction. "I am fully aware there is a concert moved throughout the United States," he said, made a reputation for honesty and integrity and become leaders among our race. I request my friends and well-wishers to surrender judgment until the trial is over. To Fight To Retain Seat Councilman Fleming also stated that he had no intention of relinquishing that he had seat in the city council and that he had been appointed. The council has been expressed that he would be able to retain his place on the bench of his fathers, while his case is being appealed. FLEMING (Continued from Page One) wife, who testified that Oehme and his wife had come to their home one afternoon in the early part of September there. When told that he was not, she said she had not come, she out, me; Fleming; could you cash a check for me?" She advised when she had $200 that she did not have that much money, but he would find Mr. Fleming. Fleming was not cross-axed. Dr. Edward Bailey stated that he had been involved in the transaction and had seen Councillor Fleming cash a check for the disbelief. Mayor and Officials Testify Mayor John D. Marshall, president of the city, had known Councilman Fleming for fourteen years and in that time had never, until the present case, heard the testimony of the councilman, that although both ordinances bore similar content, the defendant had not signed either of them. Fred W. Thomas, city clerk, also heard the testimony of the city attorney and reputation of the defendant in the case. Ordinances after the date of their introduction, the first of which was passed in 1921, were the council present, but Fleming was not present. The second ordinance was referred to the department of public safety, according to Oehme's testimony it was this ordinance which caused the city to pay $200, which was made in 1927. Case Attracted Attention The case attracted much attention from the time the indictment was returned, through the entire proceeding. The judge, who was waned yet, and the opinion is that Councilman Fleming has been the viceroy expressing this opinion point to the fact that for some time efforts have now made to wrest from him the power to prosecute the defendant and the attempts of the prosecuting attorney to build up a case against the defendant protected vice in this district. The courtroom was crowded to capture the defendant to judge threatened to clear the room because of interruption. The friends of the councilman are loyal to him and believe he is innocent of the charges. Jury Deliberated 12 Hours The case was submitted to the jury in a 115-deck Thursday afternoon and verdict. At this time the members of the jury were told the night, to assemble again Friday morning, to assemble again Friday morning for two and a half hours the verdict was reached. The conviction years in prison. It also means that the counselman will automatically be sentenced to 15 years in prison.

Mann says he is making this tour to encourage other young men of his hometown to visit his home town, Houston. And although he says he has received but little encouragement from the public, he still feels that difficulties stand in his way. His ambition seems to be that his name would be like that of Lindbergh's to the white race Loon W.

CORSICANA PAGE SIX—FIRST IN COMPLETENESS Louisiana Plans Effort To Reduce State Hiteracy New Orleans, Inc. (ANP)—T. H. Harris, state superintendent of education, believes that approximately 10,000 illiterate in the state can be reached with educational instruction within the next two or three months, with the cooperation of public officials, employers of labor, and leading men and women of communities. To this end he is leaving the state, meeting with parish school superintendents in many groups to discuss the need for literacy in Louisiana, possibly through eight schools. According to the 1920 census, there were approximately 90,000 white persons and 200,000 Negroes over nine years of age at the time. This number has been decreased by thousands during the past eight years, it is said, but considerably more reduction is desired before the 1930 census is taken. Mr. Harris has stated that illiteracy can be taught to the 25 percent of white and has delegated Mr. D. M. Robertson of the state department of education, to prepare a manual of material and procedure. What he considers the two chief obstacles to reducing illiteracy in the are the difficult of arousing the desire of arousing adequate school funds in many of the carriages. DIXIE SENATOR ASKS FOR PERRY HOWARD'S SCALP Washington, D. C.—(ANP)-Senator M-Kellar, Democrat of Tennessee, demanded the discharge of Perry W. Howard, suspended special assistant attorney general, here before the senate attorney investigating committee. Despite the fact that Attorney Howard was acquitted of the charges of barring federal patronage in Mississippi by the courts, the senator from Tennessee declares that there is an "avalanche of evidence" that proves that the national Republican committee has no cases in the state. He further demanded that Attorney General Sargent explain why Attorney Howard and not been dismissed instead of sued. The committee has been busily engaged in examining the bank account records of Miller E. Cieghier of the department of justice. Mr. Howard had deposited $31,000 more his salary, $6,000, per year, in two Washington banks during period of eighteen months. Cerebral palsy was the opinion of Senator McKellar, in payment for federal jobs. McGibbish's report claimed that the bank account of John T. Riher. Connected with Mr. Howard's office in 1216 Pennsylvania Avenue, despite being a student of 1927. Friends of the two men state that they, in connection with Dr. John R. Hawkins, conducted a real estate venture. They point out that the large deposits were probably incidental to the realty transactions of this estate. When the Tennessee senator was remitted that Mr. Howard had been acquitted by a jury, Senator McKelar demanded that Attorney Howard be brought before the committee to explain his bank account. McGibbish, a staff assistant in the Mississippi trial, further declared that the remaining indictments against his former co-worker, Perry Howard, would be pushed to the limit, at the trial which may be held in March in Mississippi. Redmond Explains Howard's Deposits In Washington Bank Jackson, Miss.—(ANP)—Surprise was expressed here by Attorney S. D. Redmond, that so much is being made of the fact that an investigation had disclosed that Attorney Perry W. Howard had deposited $31,000 during the eight months that "The only surprising thing to use," Mr. Howard Redmond, "is that Mr. Howard's bank account did not amount to more than that for the period named." "It should be in mind that Mr. Howard was a well-to-do person before he entered the department of justice as special assistant to the attorney general; that he was a lawyer enjoying a large practice among the members of his race, and owned certain real estate, and also in Washington, much of which he has sold of during the pe NEGROES HOLD FEW LARGE JOBS AT WASHINGTON BY JAMES H. HOWARD (For the Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C.—In scanning over the U. S. senate and house of representatives committees, one is puzzled to know why more colored constituents are not provided with places. There are thirty-five joint committees and commissions in the senate. In each committee there are from three to nine clerks, many of whom represent the same average number of clerks. There is only one color clerk of a committee, in either the house or senate. Frank A. Byron, clerk to the house naval affairs committee. Mr. Byron has held this responsible position for several years, but recently he was appointed to the clerk who became chairman, he had a white man placed over him. A noticeable situation about the doorkeeper of the U. S. senate, is the uncut manner of these public servants in clearing the public out of the galleries when the senate goes into action, which these gentry act, impresses one that they have a total disregard for the feelings of those of the public who are unacquainted with the rules that require all persons to vacate the galleries when the senate goes into executive session. Coolidge's congressional breakfast will hardly be continued under the administration of Mr. Hoover, as it is likely some of the congressmen will object to eating buck-wheat cakes with maple syrup and sausages at the same table with Congressman DePriest of Illinois. Many of the congressmen are colored messengers, among them is Harry Parker who is doorkeeper of the important ways and means committee. Mr. Parker has held this position for several years, and whether the house is Democratic or Republican will be a smile and police blower never change. Colonel Mann and Mr. Trigg The daily papers speak in terms of high commendation of the political influence of Col. Horace B. Mann, who successfully handled the pre-convention interests of Mr. Heover last spring in the securing of delegates to the Kansas City convention. His comments about the capture of several Southern states for the G. O. P. in the recent campaign. In this connection it is said that Mr. Mann will have somewhat to say as to what, if any, recognition will be given our group. He was assigned certain activities among colored people during the primary, and was able assisted by Joseph Trigg, an employee of the postoffice见他. Col. Mann and Mr. Trigg were boyhood chicks in there. There is little doubt but what Joseph had much to do with the weeding and setting up process employed in the early stages of the Hoover preposition and thereafter during the first year of his career came under the direct supervision of Col. Mann in his unassuming headquarters in the Munsey Building. Joe Trigg kept in close touch with the colony's movements, and the set of his activities was advanced. J. C. Oden of this city as advance agents in Ohio in the Hoover interest is charged up to the credit of Joseph. Joseph has been in the postoffice department so long that he looks forward to no political office for himself, but he is in a position to help his friends. Unknown Assailant Knifes Colored Man New Orleans, LA.—(ANP)—John Gales was severely stabbed early Feb. 2, by an unknown assailant in an altercation in the rear of the soft drink stand, operated by Henry Washington, according to the police.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1929 General Education Board Agents Visit Capital City School Austin, Texas—Educational interest among Negroes in the capital of the state appears to be attracting attention from both far and near. The daily press and the press in Dallas have carried news bearing on the question of Tiltellon College closing her memorable portals. Tiltellon is an institution long known for its contribution to the education of the North in the country. It is net definitely known that Jackson Davis and Leo M. Favort of the General Education Board visited Austin recently in consideration of the Tiltellon question, but they, in conjunction with G. T. Favort, visited Samuel Hunt College and inquired into conditions of this institution. It is becoming generally known, as indicated by the visit of the New York board representatives, that Samuel Huntington is promoting sign of progress. The institution is located in the Southwest, in the capital, with several white institutions, including the great University of Texas. The faculty of the college is now more than twenty teachers, seven of whom are masters of arts, one a doctor of philosophy and all others except two bachelors of theology. Samuel Huntington is recognized as "A class in Texas, North Carolina and nearly a dozen of other states. At present the college has 402 students, 36 in the college department and 35 in the only high school class carried. COLORED CIVIL WAR VET DIES IN CORPUS CHRISTI COLORED CIVIL WAR VET DIES IN CORPUS CHRISTI Corpus Christi, Tex. — Evan Mack one-time slave who ran off to join the Union army, will be buried here today. He died early yesterday morning at the age of 86 at his home on Chippew St. Mack, who came to be a lieutenant in the Union army, bite a battle-scan a bullet through the right side near the shoulder blade. One of his sons, Martin Mack, of Houston, who came here several weeks ago when his father became ill, told the story last night of how Mack played the game in March 1842, at Lexington, KY. During the war, one day he and several other youth were playing. A detachment of Union shoulders marched by, with the band playing "The Girl I Left Behind." Mack and his brother joined the federal forces that day. Mack served 11 years, 3 years during the war and 8 years after the conflict. During that time his outfit, Company H of the 328 Infantry, came to him and then to Brownville, finally to Albuquerque, N. M., and then back to Laredo, where the men were muttered out. During the time they were in Corpus Christi they used the old Guild Army. Soon after 1870, Mack came back to Corpus Christi, living here the remainder of his life. John Mack, engineer wiper for the S. A., U. & G., who died last September, was Mack's son.

JERSEY MURDER CASE MISTRIAL; TROOPER SLAIN Trenton, N. J.—(ANP)—The trial of David Ware, charged with the murder of State Trooper Peter Glayden on December 28, resulted in a misdemeanor charge, down by Judge Erwin E. Marshall here Wednesday. This action, according to reports, was taken so as to determine whether Ware is to be sent for observation to the state hospital for the insane here. Ware is most spectacular man hunts ever staged this section. For two days state troopers, aided by a pouse of more than 300 citizen, several army planes, searched for Ware, who was arrested down the streets of the township. Glayden had arrested Ware upon the charges of a woman who he is alleged to have threatened to kill. As the state trooper was taking his prisoner to the police headquarters, Ware was shot him, killing him instantly. STUDY OF THE PHYSICAL STATUS OF THE URBAN NEGRO CHILD An intensive study of a group of more than 5,000 Negro children from 1 to 14 years of age conducted by the U. S. Public Health Service in a Southern city, has brought out many interesting facts. It is believed that significantly larger children are more likely to be a fair sample of school children. it is also believed that the characteristics noted in this group will probably be fairly characteristic of the larger school children general. The following statements appear to be warranted by the data presented. After the age of 8 or 9, Negro girls are taller than Negro boys, both in standing and sitting height, through the 14th year period. At 11 the weight of the girls exceeds that of the boys and remains higher through the 14th year period. At 11 the diameter of the girls are small; the girls have slightly broader chest than the boys; the chest of the girls are lower than the boys. The younger girls have a small breast, but the older girls have a slightly broader chest, though less deep, than that of the height and weight curves of urban Negro children studied in relation to age and sex within each group. The height and weight invariants of rural Negro children. The rural Negro children of school age studied are generally of white children, while the urban Negro children group under consideration of the same age. At all ages and in both sexes are taught the basic skills of the urban Negro children. The growth relationship of the different groups in the groups studied are different. Negro girls exceed Negro boys in the age of schooling, but this advantage over white boys, and they maintain their advantage longer. In weight, Negro girls tend to weigh slightly earlier than the white girls outweigh the white boys; their excess weight is greater than in the case of white girls and boys; and up to 14 years of age boy show no tendency to return to school. In weight, Negro boys have deeper and chest the relationship of the sexes is also different in the two after the age of 6 the white boys from a group of Southern cities are heavier than the white boys from an urban Negro boys studied. In weight the white boys are heavier than the Negro boys except at 6 years of age. Negro boys have a very slight advantage over the white boy. There is little variation in the age of Negro boys has a very slight advantage over the white boy. There is little variation in the age of the older boys, where the white boys have the advantage.

In additional 33 per cent of the group there were only one or two defective teeth present, and in 33 per cent of the group were small. Hence, 64 per cent of the children either had excellent teeth or teeth that might be classified as good. almost a third of the children had large or larged or diseased, or both. A little over four per cent had the tongue sills were defective, and these would increase the number of defective tongue sills were defective, and these would be practiced practically as prevailed. Vegetative were present in almost fifteen per cent of the children, this defect being practically two per cent. Moderate and severe flat foot combined rises from 7.47 per cent in the group to 10.05 per cent over. There is a striking preponderance of flat foot among the girls. The incidence of skin disease is low. Boys are twice as frequently affected. The incidence of heart defects is also low, and girls are more affected than boys. There are 13 boys and 10 girls in the two younger groups and 17 boys and 29 girls in the three older groups. There are 30 boys and 30 per cent. There is possibly some relation between the comparatively low South and the low incidence of heart defects among these children. Two bovine defects of rickets were found in the two younger children. Single bovine changes were noted in larger percentages, but the comparative rachitic deformities striking. The more important physical defects were more numerous in the low South than in the fall in the number of these defects with a rise in the intelligence quotient was low no excess, and no inconsistencies can be drawn from such data. Forty-five per cent of the Negro group were in a state of good or excellent health, 35 per cent, fair and 30 per cent poor or very poor. There were more well-nourished children in the oldest group as in the youngest. Poor nourished children are distributed through the age groups. In the matter of good nutrition the have a deeper advantage over the more advanced posture as judged by the examiner in much more prevalent among the girls than in the more particularly true of the older girls. Slender build as observed in this study, the group than heavy build, and there are more slender children among the boys and girls in the group with age, both slender and medium build decrease with age. Most of the children of heavy build in the good nutrition group there were more slender and heavy build children, the remainder of the group being made up of those of medium build in the poorer nutrition group in more likely to be found among the poorly nourished than among the well-nourished children have poor posture.

But in the big world where one pioneers to do big things there are few friendly hands, or eager hands to greet an Abbie Mitchell. She must still conquer. Therefore, she is due all the more credit. From now on the Abbie Mitchell of "Red Moon," of the Lafayette cesson, on and off Broadway, of "Coquette," which played Broadway and of the loop, hopes to realize the ambition of a lifetime and to meet her public in a new role, that of a concert singer. She has been a history of her efforts to train herself to be a great singer. Every day has been tributary to that. "I have had much to learn," Miss Mitchell acknowledges, "and so much I have never served from my one desire. Of course, when but fourteen wonderful voices and had me believing that I could sing. But I learned that it would take years and years to make myself into the kind of singer that I wanted to be. So an actress and out-of-style dresses have meant little to me if, by depriving myself of them, could get the teaching that I need." "All my work as an actress has been done with my singing in mind, dramatic, but I could not stop for a long course; I had to work mine out. Miss Mitchell learned. Miss Mitchell lived in a concert at Kibbuth Hall in Chicago, Sunday, February 10. This recital required hard work and concentration to attend, for that time she attempted to prove the virtue of her lifelong rule of hard work and concentration to attain. After that concert she will concentrate on the role of oboe player. Miss Mitchell does not complain that Negro or colored roles in grand opera Negro or colored roles in grand opera are ignorant, naturally, of the prejudices that exist, but, as a musician, she has many Negroes with fine voices, they have not had the preparation for a role, and many Negroes with fine voices, they have not had the preparation for a role in Aida. She is confident that she and that is competent to sing the title role in Aida. She is confident that when the opportunity comes, she will be ready. No code.

E. R. B. DuBois, editor of the Crisis, in speaking at the Forum on Current Events at the Rand School, declared that the Socialist party could make much headway by "braving the artillery" encountered once prejudice of white women out in speech and platform for democracy despite color. "Any successful appeal to the labor vote, North or South," he asserted, "must be based on the breaking of the artificial power which the white-employing South has gained by disfranchising both white and Negro laborers. The appeal for justice which the black working man is making to white women is an appeal to white laborers to stop cutting off their own noses in order to spite their faces, for denial of economic justice to Negroes by white labor is beginning to make justice for the white workingman impossible. "The Negro today is growing in intelligence. His political power is growing. His growing is growing. Don't believe for a moment that leaders of both Democratic and Republican parties are not staying awake nights pondering over methods to win favor with this vote. "Before and after emancipation the Negro in self-defense was propelled toward the white employer. The endowments of wealthy white men have developed great institutions of learning for the Negro, but the freedom of education has been curtailed in proportion as they are indebted to white philanthropies." KLAN CARD CAUSES TROUBLE TO NEGRO WITH STOLEN C A R Huttvillse, Md., (ANP) — A membership card in the Ku Klux Klan certainly caused Leonard Mitchell a lot of trouble here Tuesday. In fact, it caused him so much trouble that he was arrested for unauthorized use of an automobile, carrying concealed firearms, obtaining a permit card, and grand havenry. It all happened when Chief of Police Carl Blanchard saw Mitchell sitting in an automobile, the license number of which was identical with that of a stolen automobile. He questioned Mitchell who stated that the car belonged to him. He asked Mitchell card to prove his assertion. Upon examining the card, it was found to be the name of Robert Hamilton. Further examination of the card case revealed a Ku Klux Klan membership card and then the trouble began. Mitchell was arrested and brought here Wednesday to be booked on the Mitchell card. Mitchell today believes the blan is meant to citizens of the United States.

C.—(ANP)—The report that chief justice of the Supreme Court, William Taft, has recently signed an order increasing the salaries of all the white employees of the department but failed to recommend any increase for the employed in the Supreme Court, who caused a quite a stir in the nation's capital. There are eightteen colored employees in and about the Supreme Court of the United States. Each justice of the court has a messenger who waits upon him, helps him robe and disrobe, and in some instances performs such other duties about the court or at the private homes of the justice, when called upon to do so. Other duties are admitting the public court is in session, and acting as usher in the court. These positions are much sought after because they are life-long jobs pending good behavior. Several employees have long since passed the period of retirement, but like Justice Wendell Holmes, who has passed his eighty-seventh birthday, still carry on. All employees of the court cone directly into the hine justice. Their salaries are fixed by the court, as are their duties and while there are several salary bills now pending in congress, increasing pay in all departments, not one of these measures effects the pay of the Supreme Court employees. The order signed by Chief Justice William Howard Taft increases pay of the marshals, clerks, and other employees of the court but the brother was left out in the cold: WRIGHT DECLARES POLICEMAN UNFIT FOR GOTHAM DUTY New York City—(ANP)—Elward T.

GOLDEN TEXT - If ye abide to me and my words abide to you, ask what soever ye will, and it shall be done unto you. PRIMARY TOPIC—Talking With God. JUNIOR TOPIC-Training With God INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC-Training TOUGH PEOPLE AND ADULT TOUGH PEOPLE Power Life. 4. Pain Prayer (Matt. 6:3-7). This counts in. 1. Praising to be seen an heard of mea (v. 8). Many prayers uttered in mea are temporary; they are not what we want. What people think to what to understand. 2. In using vina repetitions (v. 7.8). This does not mean that we should pray for we have examples of both truths and Pant praying three times for the same thing (Matt. 30:38-39. H Our prayers are the use of meaningful repetitions. II. True Prayer (Matt. 6:6). Since true prayer is a definite transition of the soul with God, the communion of the human personality with God is a real desire for fellowship with God, and then a going to Him in secret. We should be a real desire for fellowship with God, and then seek His fellowship. We should have our closest prayers when all the world and its care and pleasure are in with God. We should meet with God's children and pray together. The Model Prayer (Mast. 6-13). 1. A right relationship (v. D) "We must only have become children of God by faith in Jesus Christ can pray aright" (Gal. 3:23). One must be a child of God before he can pray. 2 A right attitude (v. 9, 11) "hallowed be Thy name." No one realizes that he has been deceived by power of darkness and translated into the kingdom of his Dear Son (Col. 13:18), he cannot help pouring his soul in gratitude for the righteous rule of Christ on earth. 3 A right spirit (v. 11-13). 4 A right spirit for God to the purpose of daily bread. We are dependent upon Him for our daily food. 5 That love of which results in forgiveness of others, God will not listen to the prayers of one who has an unforgiving spirit, which moves one to pray hot but to be led into temptation, and longs to be delivered from the evil one. 6 The Right Attitude of Soul in Psalm (Luke 18:14). This is illustrated in the prayer of the Pharisee in contrast with the prayer of the publican. Observe 1. The prayer of the prophiser (rv. 11-2). A striving attitude (v. 11) He was right-leaning and trusted in himself. He congratulated himself upon his mortality. He thanked God for his blessing. He congratulated himself for his religious merit (v. 12). He fasted twice and week and gave all of his blood to God. He did more than what was required, implying that God was under obligation to him. He prayed for the humble public (v. 13). In striking contrast with the Pharisee, the publican was too ashamed of his sine to elevit his eyes to despair. He prayed for the soul of anguish and cried out to God to be merciful to him, a dinner. Christ to be merciful, rather than the Pharisee. V. Confidence in Prayer (1 John 5: 1). 1. His haint (v. 15). 1. One who has knowledge of the reality of salvation can pray with confidence. If one has assurance that in God’s child and possesses eternity the presence of his Father with boldness. 2. The scope of his prayer (v. 16). “Anything according to His will is the reality of God in prayer anything within the scope of the divine will. 3. The blessed issue of the believer’s will. 4. We know that we have the petition that we desired of Him: “God children come to me and in their heart will be filled with receiving the things needed.

The Bethune-Cookman College is the combined institution of the Daytona Normal and Industrial Institute, founded by Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, 25 years ago, and the Cookman Institute, operated by the Methodist Episcopal Church for Negroes.

"I am sure every member of the alumni association," said Mrs. Bethune, "will appreciate with us the significance of this occasion. The work which the school has been able to do, the impact it has had on the old Cookan Institute and the school at Daytona, has been of the most encouraging nature. "We want the alumni of both institutions and this one to feel that it is your school and to take an active interest in its affairs.

The student ministers had served the nurses' table several weeks. Tuesday Mrs. Ada B. McLery, superintendent of the hospital, issued an order discharging E. W. Spence and W. H. McLery, among the nurses' waiters, giving her reason for doing so that there was a conflict between the jobs held by the colored students and their institute. The registrar at the Garrett Biblical Institute denied this and the white men adopted a resolution avowing the superintendent of the hospital to protest against her action. Mr. McLery denied the request and again reiterated her order. Upon receipt of her reply, the young white men adopted a resolution avowing their determination to resign from their positions from which the fellow ministers had been affected in their decision by several ministers of Evanton and the student body and faculty of the institution. Each year the Evanton Hospital receives donations from the churches of Evanton and according to settlement expressed here the donation affected by the action of the superintendent of the hospital. The copy of the resolution adopted by the students was as follows: "We can not as ministers of the gospel, hold down positions from which our fellow students are exposed to the dangers of this to be an Christian, ungentlemanly, and disloyal to those who are our fellows in a great cause." — John Paul II Alumni Urged to Attend A.

Wright, president of the Negro Hammond Association of America, and the Cajun Southern Trust Bank of Philadelphia. Dr. Wright emphasized the need of Negroes cooperating in the effort to develop large financial institutions and enterprises. Education and economic independence were described as the stepping stones to a place of power in the United States, by the speaker and outstanding examples of how Negroes in various sections of the country were advancing along these lines were cited. The progress made by Negroes in Columbia and the entire state was made by Dr. R. H. Shin, who urged them to work together, lay aside petty jobs and work toward the development of the entire group. Dr. Wright was introduced by Dr. D. H. Shin, president of Allen University and the exemplars were praised by George L. B.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1929 DR. MOTON'S IMPRESSION OF TEXAS Making the first visit of his life-time to the Lone Star State, Dr. Robert Rusa Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, president of the National Negro Business League and successor to the late Dr. Booker T. Washington as racial leader, visited Houston, Prairie View and Dallas last week, and was received with that kind of hospitality and cordiality so characteristic of Texas and Texas. Although he did not get an opportunity to see much of the state during his short tour of this commonwealth, Dr. Moton was very enthusiastic over what he did observe, and was loud in his audition of the business endeavors of the Negro race and racial progress in this section of the country. Aside from making a favorable impression upon the distinguished educator and race leader, Dr. Moton also impressed his wonderfully dynamic personality upon all who came in contact with him, and all who heard him speak or had the opportunity to meet him. He felt the best of his big man in every sense of the word; though his attitude towards the public and his democratic spirit bore none of the aloofness so often found among some of our supposed big men. Easy of approach and within a man possessed with very likeable qualities, Dr. Moton found himself at home wherever he appeared, and in the language of a well-advised cigarette, "Such popularity must be deserved." Texas was delighted and felt considerably honored by the presence of this eminent American, whose fame knows neither secrecy nor concealment, and our only regret was that his tour was too abbreviated to really see any appreciable part of the largest and greatest state in the republic. In Texas Dr. Moton discovered that Negro business men and women are not trailing their racial contemporaries in other sections of the country, and he also observed that "Heavenly Houston" has more Negroes in business than any other city in the country. He discovered that relations between the colored and white races have improved to a remarkable degree within recent years, and that the leaders of the two races in this state are trying to work out a very comprehensive program of interracial amity and goodwill. He saw the modern public school buildings, which house thousands of colored students, and he met teachers educated in some of the colleges and universities in the United States. In Houston he learned that great strides have been made in recent years along the lines of public education, and that this city has three senior high schools, one junior high school and the only municipally owned and operated junior college for the exclusive education of Negroes in the United States. In Houston, alone, he inspected four office buildings owned and operated by Negro fraternal organizations with every office suite and office space, and he discovered three possible exceptions, my colored business and professional men and women. He undoubtedly observed the feminine pulchritude, grace, charm and culture of this city and state, and like the Queen of Sheba, the doctor had to admit that the "half had not been told." Dr. Moton and his party were domiciled in homes which compare favorably with those owned and occupied by members of the race in other sections of the nation, and the culinary service was well trained in the arts and houseswives certainly know the art of cooking and serving. Before leaving Houston for Dallas, Dr. Motron remarked that never in all his public career, at home or abroad, had he seen a thing done better than the reception, banquet and entertainment recorded him and his party during their short stay in this city. Thanks, doctor, for that compliment, and hurry back to the Gone Star State and "Heavenly Houston!" STILL AFTER PERRY W. HOWARD According to recent newspaper reports, the forces which have been very active trying to unhorse and disrace Perry W. Howard Republican national committeeman from Mississippi, have literally "broken out in a new place," and are now charging that Mr. Howard's bank deposits have been considerably in excess of his money $6,000 per annum salary as special assistant to the attorney general of the United States. Allegations have been made that much of this money came from Republican office-holders in the Mudcott State, and that the same was tendered the ebony-hued party leader for federal offices. Just why the Republican leaders persist in trying to make Mr. Howard the scape-goat in this sale of federal offices, is somewhat puzzling and mystifying to the Informer; for it is generally condensed and admitted that the leaders of the Republican party are not the only party have fought the practice of managing the state organizations largely through "gifts" from the federal office-holders in said states. Furthermore, it has been commonly rumored that when the various national committeemen of the Republican party agreed to underwrite the huge deficit accruing from the Harding-Coolidge campaign of 1920, the national leaders of the party consented to the proposition that these state G. Q. P. leaders could reimburse themselves by the federal government and other federal plums were landed by the highest bidders, whether said bidders were Republicans, Democrats or whatnots. 48. acorns seem abused and preposterous to reach the conclusion that sale of federal offices has only been engaged in by the The Houston Informer two colored national committees (Benjamin J. Davis of Georgia and Perry W. Howard of Mississippi), when the pre rata asked of their states to liquidate the Harding campaign deficit was reputed to have been in the neighborhood of $35,000 each. After indicting and trying Mr. Howard in the federal court in Mississippi for alleged bartering of federal offices, with one of the assistant attorney-generals of the United States bringing about indictment and another conducting the persecution, the race political leader wagered and questioned Mr. Howard from the practice of law in Mississippi wagered. Having failed thus far to stigmatize and destroy Mr. Howard, certain Republican leaders, according to latest news reports, are now frantically striving to find additional evidence with which to bring about Mr. Howard's conviction and ultimate political undoing. The Informer holds no brief for Mr. Howard, nor does this paper condone the practice of selling federal offices (and we are not charging that Mr. Howard has been guilty of such practices); we do know that Mr. Howard is not guilty for many decades, and it seems passively strange that the major efforts should be directed against the only colored man serving as Republican national committee from his state, while the white national committee of the same party, who are as guilty as Mr. Howard (if Mr. Howard is in fact guilty of such acts), have not even been investigated. From the seat in the political grandstand, or bleachers, it appears to this paper that this prosecution or persecution of Mr. Howard is nothing more or less than a well-planned scheme to with a Negro leadership in the Republican ranks of the South, with a view of making a bid for lily-white and other kind of white votes. In other words, instead of it being merely a fight on Mr. Howard for the alleged sale of federal offices in Mississippi, the contest has the earmarks of being a fight to give the "brother" a back seat in the party councils of the South; for when these armyed themselves against Mr. Howard, instead of resigning and crying for peace, the courageous colored Mississippi unheshed his sword for whittle and went forth to meet the enemy in the streets. The army demonstrated that "winners never quit and quitters never win." In the vernacular of the diamond gentry, we say to Mr. Howard: "Stay in there, Perry, and pitch!"

As for the physiology, we have not heard of any "bolting," as several local doctors said, at the time of the reception, but it seems that some of them, having been maininformations to examine all professionals, physicians, dentists, pharmacists, lawyers, nurses, and receptionists, conducted an attempted to stage a "sympathetic hansen and reception" conducted themselves from the functions. In pulling off their stunt, these professional men reminded one, of the fellow who had to spite his face, and ultimately his nose to spite his face, and ultimately a "bone-handed" denied; for any man is honored by being in the presence of an outstanding character as Dr. Meyer. While the absence of the dentists and their professional sympathizers has been a concern, the honor did not "crab" one whit owed Houston's entertainment of this distinguished race educator and memoir author, the party, it did demonstrate the smallness and narrowness of some of our self-styled leaders in Houston to think that nothing can be done in Houston without them. Well, the "big boy" and the "tough girl" of the rude jolt has week, and if the colored people, business men and others, would "bolt" or "shut" the business group, Dr. Moton and his party, we are just wondering how long they would practice their profession in this city?

These enlistments will be completed in 1929 employment over that of 1928.

Yet it is true in every detail. himy*lezander the Greatest is what they called England's great hero is still Richard of the Lion Heart who fought the Turks in Palestine for the tomb of Christ. Yet this Negro equals the great Richard in every way. Like him, too, he was a giant in size and strength. And the bravest of the | ive. ‘Coming into the world at one of the most ex- citing periods of its history this Negro played a man’s part. Entering the army he rose from the rank of sergeant-major to that of general in com- mand of a great army in less than two years. | ‘To learn who he was and what he did let us dip into history. Not so deeply, either, for it hap- pened less than one hundred and fifty years ago, ‘while his féllow Negroes were still slaves in Amer- aca. | One day one of the reat nobles at the cout of Louis XV, getting tired of the gay life, made up his mind aS ee Seu Selecting the island of San Domingo in the West | Indies he decided to make that his home. Arriving there, he was warmly welcomed by the rich-planters who were eager to have so great @ personage in their midst. But the Marquis de la Pailleterie, as the nobleman was called, had meant just what he said. He was tired of society, and wanted to live a simple life. So shunning them, he went to live among the Negroes. But in doing that the marquis little guessed that he was to. add a thousand greater glories to his name; that in quitting Europe with all his wealth, he was to return some day with far greater treasure. . All of which sounds like a fairy tale, doesn’t it? But you'll soon see it isn’t. THE MARQUIS MARRIES But the marquis was thorough if anything. Deciding to bury his past still deeper, he took an- other step. Among his neighbors was one whose bright flashing eyes, supple figure and laughing ways had captivated him. She was Marie Dumas. Proposing marriage,..he..was..accepted,.and...the. humble Marie became the Marquise de la Paille- terie. A year later a son, Alexander, was born; in color, dark, very dark. For eleven years the cou- ple lived happily, and then the marquise died. Her husband, grief-stricken, remained in the West Indies eight years longer, then he returned to france, With him was his son, the Count de la Pail- leterie. And what a son was that colored lad! Three years later he had become the talk of Paris, Six feet six in his stocking feet and endowed with strength to match he could do feats that none could equal. And he possessed a nimbleness and activity of brain to match. As a swordsman he eclipsed all in France but one, and that one was another Negro, the Chevalier de St. Georges. Lifting his right foot the young count would have two men stand on his calf, and then hop off with them on it. He would place four fingers of his right hand in the muzzles of as many muskets and lift them all with arm extended. Once, while on horseback, he saw a soldier misbehaving him- self, and swooping down on him he caught him by the back of his coat and holding him at arm’s length as he would a dirty package, rode with him all the way to the guard house. Later he - sas-to- become a warrior so formidable and spectacular that had he lived in an earlier age he would with- out great difficulty be accepted as a real personage. “ Generous and kind-hearted but hot-headed and quick to resent insult, the young count got into many qurarrels, At twenty-two he fought a duel in (Continued on page 4) » a 4 im Sate Sies SSS SSS SSS eee Se meee ee ee Se SEL STS ES aie a sees Sees » il ee = eee Ss \ Zee Bee oe st | mu GLING Fi |5y CORA BALL MOTEN ae Pere cae thea | AGENTS “srs | So Scaccran | | A Sais Soca canoe | DICE oes Secs for une toe mires) earn ay Seas oe eee Ste eS | | WHEN YOUR BACK nent edoeaiion and reepretanie wor-|) |, CPPMC BOPANIn el ee a FS | SS BA | eee your seater or tatent Mace Record Cat = Bulldypenevand | jg 2 eee =| A) SS=> ee ~~ @~ a » acca ROU ‘e February 16,1929) al 42 ta) Pe AMAN Works on His STOMACH oem =o Reg a fs =o ce Soca ae aaa ‘Soucek owesy PE re Segara red dn onc may —— > = ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION Be Watchful of Speech | Says Dream Analyst ‘Alt YOUSIF MOHAMMED y= SS ie eae oe ee See chem ee eee SSS ea ee Sees S| SSS SS ae der ct pi or SSS!
