ANDREWS' ATTACKER FILES INSANITY PLEA AT LOS ANGELES; COURT ACTION ANGERS HUSBAND COLLEGES HAVE LAYMEN EFFORT 14,000 NEGROES DREW HUNDREDS MATRICULATED ON LAST SUNDAY Los Angeles, Cal.-The court room of Judge Marshall McComb, in department 22 of the Superior Court, was filled to capacity Friday morning, by the elite of our group, who arrived in large numbers at an early hour, in order to obtain positions of advantage for what was considered to be a sensational hearing for Everett D. Simpson, who was booked to appear in court to answer to the charge of assault with intent to kill upon the person of Mrs. R. L. Andrews of West 25th Place. The case had attracted much attention because of the prominence of the complainant, appeared in court swathing heavy burgundy and accompanied his husband, R. L. Andrews, prominent wealthy resident of this city, formed the atmosphere was tense and the belligerent attitude of Mr. Andrews was curious spectators who presented a picture of an audience waiting for the end of the drama and the death of the case ended abruptly, and seemingly not the satisfaction of the complainant who clashed with Deputy District Attorney James Costello when the judge can oversee the court at the appearance of Attorney Will O. Tylier, who appeared in court for the delayed decision of the alienate who are to pass upon the sanity of Simpson. The defendant, Simpson, did not appear in court because of his physical condition, and remained at the psychopathic ward, where he is now, and was charged with assault. The action of the court is a confirmation of the confidence and integrity of the beloved wife and friends of Simpson, which they have to steadfastly manifest in him since the occurrence on that fateful Sunday morning on the 13th day of October. Simpson, school, gentleman and educator, had born an unblemished tent, and those who knew him best, having it amounted $1 when the battleship questioned that he beyond a question of a doubt he had suddenly gone inane. Simpson declares insane by his Superior Court of Los Angeles Commission, which is a department of Superior Court of Los Angeles is presided over by Judge w. T. Gould. The determination that Simpson is not and was not responsible for his actions in the attack on Andrews comes from four sources. First: An alienist engaged by ATL. Secondly: An alienist appointed by the district attorney's office in thirdly: An alienist appointed by the court for its own information. Lastly: The alienist regularly con-rected with the Lumacy Commission of Los Angeles County. Among the doctors participating in the opinion were the following: Dr. Paul Bowers, Dr. Cecil Reynolds, Dr. M. S. Rowe, superintendent of the State Hospital at Norwalk; Dr. Blank, resident physician, county jail; Dr. Martin G. Carter, and Dr. Steel, Allan, Martin, Gerdine, Lennon of the Lumacy Commission. In addition to these eminent authorities, nurses and investigators and laboratory specialists participated in the hearing and all were agreed that Simson was irresponsible for his acts, owing to a mental aberration which led to confusion and groundless fear of personal harm, and psychosis set in about May of 1929. The laymen's movement, fostered by the General Baptist Convention of Texas, with Prof. C. H. McGruder as president, received its first impetus Sunday, December 15, at the L. L. A. Hall, where more than 200 men, fill-up with enthusiasm, threw out their first net to "catch men for kingdom building." Promptly at 3:30 p. m. a selected choir, with H. W. Shaw at the piano, began the devotion, which was appropriately conducted by Rev. Toltson. Dynamic talks were begun by President Denkins of the Men's Union of St. John on Dowling, and followed by Messrs. Haggaman, Bolden, Shaw, Smith, McGregor and Lucas. A. W. J. Kesson, Rcenberg, gave a snirrfed address, colored with his characteristic wit and humor. Rev. Roden gave the meeting sidelights of President McGruder, which reflect the beautiful picture. St. John's Male Quartet enlivened the meeting with excellent singing. The meeting was climaxed with an "inspirational sermonette" by Rev. S. A. Pleasant, rastor of St. John (Dowling). He drove home two outstanding facts: "That no man can reach his full value who does not dedicate his body as well as his spirit to God;" and "That God gave man dominion of the world." The meeting was then a committee elected Clem Bolden of St. John Baptist (Broadway) treasurer. The expense of the meeting was borne by the following churches: St. John (Dowling), $5; St. John (Broadway), $4; Mt. Corinth, $3; Pleasant Grove, $2; Shiloh, $3, and Mt. Olive, $2.50.

Sweart, attractive and popular manager of Josie Taylor's Chapeaux, 715 Prairie, left St. Louis, Chicago and Philadelphia on a three-weeks buying trip, one of the three-dreams of the proprietress of the shop, Mrs. Josie Taylor, came into fruition. For when Mrs. Taylor opened her local millinery deanliness, aside from serving the hotel of Houston, one of her chief ambitions was to make places for colored girls and ford them an opportunity to develop to their fullest extent in this particular field. According to Mrs. Taylor, Miss Sweart has proven a mighty fine manager and this buying trip, with all expenses borne by the shop, is a result of attentiveness and efficient service coupled with an intimate knowledge of milady's millinery de Speaking to an Informer reporter, Mrs. Taylor said: "I just don't have the money to pay for a fine. Fine Houston people for the lovely way in which they have supported my miliary undertaking; vet at this time, and I am sure goodwill is in the air, I do want to express, in some feeble manner, my appreciation of this wonderful pathetic work.

In this manner began the career of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, the greatest musical sensation so far of the twentieth century. The Musical Sensation of the Twentieth Century A 1930 SAMUEL COLERIDGE TAYLOR as he appeared in the prime of his career. By J. A. ROGERS NE FEVING in a London suburb a frail little colored bor of six or seven years stood in the street looking eagerly in through a window at a party that was in progress ir a parlor. He had been playing marbles with his companions but attracted by the sound of music, had abandoned the game and had come to listen. In one hand wore his marbles, and in the other his beloved violin, which he carried around as a little girl carries her doll. One of the gentlemen, looking out, noted the keen interest of the youngster as well as the violin, and invited him in. Finally the led entered but it was only after much coaxing, for he was very shy toward strangers. A violin duet was being played, and at its conclusion the little boy was asked by the company to play something. After much further coaxing he consented and played the same air in such perfect tune that all present marvelled. In the early years of the early career, he was then. He had a very good voice, and became solo singer in the great musical sensation so far as the church choir. The twenteenth century of the twentieth century Mr. Joseph Beckwith was so delighted that he offered to give the boy lessons, and did so. For the first time he had become famous he returned the good deity of the early son of the young. Young Beckwith also served as leader of the Handel Society Obsessionist and the organist of the new band. But success did not come with a bound. Few who have climbed to the First, he was very poor. Born August 15, 1875, he was abandoned at an early age by his father, Daniel Hughes Taylor. Father a Brilliant Student The elder Taylor, a native African, had come to London to study medicine. He had graduated with high honors, had taken his degree at 22 (a difficult thing in an English school), and was a member of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons, a high honor. Un to this time Dr. Taylor had worked as an assistant and was well-liked, but practicing as a physician on his own took was a different matter. In short, he found the color prejudice in England so strong that he gave up his practice and returned to West Africa in disgust. Left behind were his wife, an Englishwoman, and his father son. He corrected and with his foot for a short time, but his letters grew further and further apart, until finally he sensed to write. Mrs. Taylor, poor, but of a good family, had to make a living as best she could. Was Keeny Sensitive Coleridge Taylor's second hand was his keenly-sensitive nature, and he suffered extremely from the taunts of his white companions, many of whom would taunt the lone Negro and about his color and his mop of thick, short, curly, black hair. They nicknamed him "inaly," and one day and his hair on fire "just to see whether it would burn." The third handicap, a good one, was the high standard set for the first handicap, for perfection, and for years he threw ruthlessly almost everything he wrote into the fire because he was a man of great intellect. At school, however, he was the brightest boy in music, and whenever he was in the school, was called upon to play PAGE TWO Was Keeply Sensitive adon suburb a frail little colored cars stood in the street looking window at a party that was in with his companions but attract-pandoned the game and had come is marbles, and in the other his around as a little girl caregies her out, noted the keen interest ofolin, and invited him in.

But to this highly young girl, he engaged in a spirited race-horse to a lumber wagon, a wealthy Londoner who had been interested in young Calderidge, came forward, offering to pay all expenses of his manifold expenses, who had been waste of time and money. Some of them, in answer to the colonel's rebuttal that the lad was right, rewrote why he should not venture his money. The brain development of the Nero, early age, and that Colderidge-Taylor was but one removed from the Afrikaner, the colonel, however, sent him to Royal College of Music, where the director was at first to accept him. But this man did not power up as Colderidge-Taylor did not power up as a bright pupil and seemed to justify the predictions of his governess. But this was not due to lack of genius. It merely meant that was being conducted along a path that At last, however, he came under the influence of St. Charles Stanford and the University of Chicago, and lay not in interpreting the works of but in a much higher field, that, not in a much higher field, that Threw Compositions in Fire An exemplary student, Coleridge-Taylor worked hard. Sir Charles had to regress the abilities discussed in a proval of a composition and into the fire it went. When a friend one day mentioned with him, telling him that he might be destroying a work of value, Coleridge-Taylor replied: "The most place for quasimodo compositions is the fire." Once he performed the difficult feat of writing four symphony movements in as many weeks, each of 0 Self-Made Man Called a Savage THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1929 A "One of the gentlemen invited him in." which in turn went into the fire. One of these manuscripts was snatched from the flames by a friend. Today it is But writing music was easy for Coloridge-Taylor. Music seemed to come to him as naturally as it did to teach it. He taught a number of his own words: "There are times when I could set a butcher's bill to music." His persistence and to his high ideals enabled him to bear fruit. After five years of study he won the coveted Alexander Award, followed year, and as W. C. Sayers, his biographer, says, the eyes of all who were far-fetched in British music were never ruffled. Inspired by Dunbar Another great influence in his life was Paul Lawrence Dunbar. The dunbar ship ship up between them. The two gave recitals together, and Dunbar did much in helping the young composer in the meanime Coleridge-Taylor's work had been coming more and more. He was one of the leaders, and one day when Sir Edward Ellen, the famous composer, was asked by Dr. Herbert Brewer to write a concert piece for the Festival, Sir Edward wrote lack a chance to commend Coleridge-Taylor. "He is the clearest fellow going among the younger men," said Sir Edward. The Three Choirs Festival was one of the great musical events of the year. Coleridge-Taylor thereupon wrote the leading composers of the time, Arthur Sullivan and Sir Hubert Parley, bearing it in advance, warmly Debut as Composer The festival was to be given at Gloucester, and Coleridge Taylor himself was to conduct the choirs. It was known that an Anglo-African was to be conductor but the audience had expected a white man. Imagine the surprise when it saw instead a dark-skinned Negro, quick-moving, slight of build, with an enormous head of high, thick, frizzy hair, broad nostrils, flashing, white teeth, and a winning smile. The audience, a highly critical one, waited breathlessly. So far, Negroes had been unheard of as composers. What sort of composition was it going to be? The moment was dramatic, intense. The music began! A few bars and the audience was won. The arresting character of the opening theme, the rich strains of barbaric beauty, the boldness and the originality of it all thrilled his hearers. Quickly they realized that here was a master, that a new star of the first magnitude had risen on the realm of music. Wins Acclaim At the close of the performance, the ovation was tremendous. Again and again he was called to the footlights. All the newspapers wanted his story, and next morning it was told all over England, with many embellishments added. He had come up to Gloucester unknown; he left it famous. London now wanted to hear him and he was engaged to conduct his Ballade at the Crystal Palace, where his success was even greater. Next he wrote "Hiawatha's Wedding Feast," perhaps his best known work. His Greatest Success The success was enormous, Joseph Bennett wrote: "The man of the hour is Coleridge-Taylor. He has written, as everybody knows, a work called *Holden* and a feast called *Use* as we see that staircase in the park. It is to be performed this week at Norwich, and three weeks later at New York. The next week, Bennett goes on even other places at which 'Hawtha' was soon to be performed. Coleridge-Taylor, greatly in need of money, greatly a poet in a poor business man, sold the entire rights of the composition for $2,520. Later he made a fortune, and later he makes fortune out of it." the work sold by the hundreds of thousands of copies. **Sky In Crowds** Invitations to the highest social circles tru and to teach, poured in an am. At one concert he gave at the Albert Hall, the largest auditorium in Ehringen, and at the close he was recalled many times that he finally walked out of the concert to fuse to go, and someone had to be sent to find him and being him back. Praise. Someone who knew him well has described him as a merry, laughing, never-fragrant person in his friends. Almost of his life, prized by his marriage had been spent in his only friend up to that time. Audiences had to him later for his own compositions, as out of modesty. Critics spoke at him in phrases like these: "He shows the hand of a man who is attending in music as Swindure was in poetry." "His flow of melody is undulating and the brilliancy of his orchestration and the fertility of his imagination are astounding. From first to last, every page of his score is stamped with the composer's origi- Described as "Burnen-Sent" Others called him "the greatest musical sensation," while some placed him in the spotlight, thrown, Brahms, Wagner, and spoke of his "gorgeous imagination, emotion, and word, running barbarity." Langer called him "A hawken-novice man," and Herbert, a tribute if not credited, wrote of him in the Musical Quartet thus: "The work to discover the qualities which make it so distinguisheth itself, one supreme and indefinable one which we call gnaw. Scholars notebooks and another be no Weber produced more beautiful and richly balanced toms from the orchestra, more direct in his structural method, but do not think that all the critics praised him; some of those who professed the shape of music ignored him altogether, and after the success of his first piece: "He's only a damned 'linger.' He'll answer On another occasion a well-known critic made him himself very riled against him. In Coleridge-Taylor's repertoire on the piano he was known under the name of an unknown unknown under the name of an unknown unknown in enthusiastic praise of the Te Deo and took occasion to belittle the orchestration of his own works. In Coleridge-Taylor if he would then balance in orchestration, he should study Tennyson, and it was not that it was none other than Coleridge-Taylor himself. And dune the music that it was none other than Coleridge-Taylor himself. In the meantime the leading actors and actors were given the chance to be written the music for Sir Bert be it was the war of Way, for "Faust" and others. At the same time he was conductor of the Trinity College of Music, professor of theory at Harvard University and Art and other colleges. As a teacher he was very annotated. As an engineer he was an immense enthusiasm for their art. Captured America In 1904 he visited America.

An important fact to be noted at the coloration of his attestation on the color question. In his early youth he seemed to have been so-called race, preferring to be viewed rather as man of all races and among white companions can hardly be ignored. Wrote in Behalf of Negro In later years, however, he became passionately a Negro, and the great man he was always writing to the papers, notating against their exclusion from the higher artistic life on the island. Was this change due to the fact that he had now arrived, that he had been a Negro, that himself that color was only an inclusion. Whereas before he bore the tauca meekk, he resented him once. Now he was holding holiness against at him calling him "Blackie." Catching one of the young second子女 he taught him the spirit and indignation with race injustice increased with time. Negroes attracted his attention and engaged in a long composition on Toussaint L'Ouverture, as well as an African Salte, Songs of the room Girl, and Twenty-Four Negro room Girl, and Twenty-Four Negro increased extraordinarily by the Negroization. A Demon for Work The great composer seemed as if possessed by the demon of works. He mastered worse he was not strongly built. The English climate proved too cold, and died on Sept. 1, 1912, at the age of 37 years. A quiet time he had written 82 works, besides anthems and organ and violin melodies as well as piano solos in addition to his teaching and in addition to the pieces already written.

A beautiful monument has been erected over his tomb in the Bandon Cemetery, where he was written specially in his honor by Alfred Noyes, noted English poet: "Sleep, crowned with fame, fearless of change or time.

Her hostess gave a light, indulgent smile. "I am glad that you didn't want to say that when the others are here with you, you would have to witherel you with a look." "Frank North," she added. "matter, you know—and he loves the violin, too." There was a sharp ring at the bell. Mrs. Broaden stepped to the door and opened it. From the drawing room, Lissa heard several voices pleasantly blended in a composite greeting. Then they drew apart and she distinguished a sauce, low-pitched man's voice, a higher one with a bright vital quality that she decided must belong to the artist, and several women's voices still interwoven in talk. When they entered, the owner of the higher man's voice was at once presented, confirming her guess as to his identity. He was pale and slender, with an eager look in his sensitive face. Not more than twenty, Lissa thought as he held out his hand. Bowing slightly from the hips, he said, "I am delighted to make your acquaintance. Miss Atkinson." Nella Taylor, her music teacher, was there, and she put her arm around the girl's waist and faced the others. "This is my star pupil," she said, "and we're going to give you a treat this evening—aren't we Lissa?" She felt by the sudden stiffening of the girl that she was embarrassed. The Stormy Career of Jack Johnson - - No. 4 Jack again left Galveston and sought employee work at a work center's work of a deck hand. He went to Bella, Texas, where he went to work for Walker.

SYNOPSIS INSTALLMENT X The Monday Night Club held its opening in Broaden, a fine old frame building of the conventional Charleton type with piazza along its south facade, over the Coming Street. The street Broaden was an inconspicuous figure, of middle height and age and light in color. He stood down over his eyes and always walked, although he was known to be exceedingly well-to-do, and a number of his friends in his office of the new Nigro bank, however, and facing a caller across the street. Immediately one would notice the high ceiling of the deep thoughtful eyes. Mrs Broaden was a deep perfect partner—she were thirty and managed the home decor, conceals itself in its work and gives an effect of effortlessness and manners to her ten degrees, but his was from Tuxeken, where he was a graduate of University. On the first night that Lisa attends a meeting of the club, she meets the first member to arrive at the Broadner residence. Her host greeted her affectionately and had come early; she exclaimed, "Now I'll have a chance to make you laugh." She explained that her husband took the girl by the hand and led her over the lower floor of the house, where she watched which periods gave the impression of being superimposed upon each other like geological strata—real plains, desert, and beautiful old Hebrew and Chippundale—a free New York and some of the furniture had been in the family for more than a century. Lisa was here that she never knew exits, and the picture. It exhibited a group of mannequins of the earthquake, portions Levits arranged several bouts for the young talented fighter, in all of which Jack was shown to advantage. Even at this early age, he disclosed an "upper-cut" blow which gave the copy of much more experienced pupils. and she hurried on with the introductions. They proved to be an interesting group. There was Dr. Vincent, a short motherly woman in late middle life, a graduate of a Northern university who had turned her back on a promising practice in a large home to the old town, and was back home to the old town to work at a minimum income among the women and children of her own race. The owner of the deep, suave voice proved to be Frederick Gerideau, a contractor and builder who was an authority on colonial architecture and who had restored most of the old dwellings in the lower part of the city. He placed it 'feels to the sofa and growing the girl's earlyly. Gardinia Whitmore, Lissa already knew—she was the soprano in the Reformed Church choir, a large girl with a magnificent voice and a bold malutato beauty that she flaunted like a battle flag. Lissa liked Gardinia and her youth and obvious good-fellowship helped her feel easy in the atmosphere of her life. She was also a well-being of her modernencing to have an overpowering effect upon her. They fell into groups, standing about in the large rooms. Others entered: the secretary of the Y. W. C. A. and a young social worker from the new civic bureau; both were young multitot to women, and both exhibited the flawless approach of the trained worker. In spite of the fact that Lissa was standing with her teacher, to whom she was devoted, and young North who was obviously interested in her she found herself talking in a constrained half whisper. She felt as though they were all playing parts and that she alone was not letter perfect. North said, "I heard you sing the aria the other night at the 'Y' concert and have been wanting to congratulate you. The performance was entrancing." She could only manage an embarrassed, "Thank you very much." The was relieved to see that the performers were gathering at the piano. One of the young women was playing first violin, North second, Geridea seized himself with his 'ello against his knee, and Miss Taylor was at the piano. "Shall we start with Boethoven?" she inquired with a crisp professional accent. "How about the 'Moonlight Senata'?" There was a turning of sheets or the stands—silence—then they launched into an excellent rendition of the piece. Lissa could see that they were all highly trained musicians and that technically the performance was of a very high order. But they played with their eyes on the notes and instead of releasing the music that was prisoned there to fill the room with its magic, they seemed to hold the performance down to a technical Someone asked for Chopin, and Miss Taylor beckoned to Lissa. The girl rose unhesitatingly and crossed the room. Her teacher had been drilling her in the Fifth Nocturne, and she felt confident of her ability to acquit herself well. The piece was open, ready. She made a striking picture seates before the grand piano. "Really?" she asked, then after a moment, then concerned to play. She knew the nocturn by heart, and she loved it, but there was something in the air about her that kept her from throwing herself into it. This wasn't playing for fun. There was weighty seriousness about it. She found herself, like the others, reading the page, desperately intent on a finished technical performance, thinking with an intensity that almost hurt, conscious of notes—notes. Bound together by the recentless exactitude of the school they had achieved toward its conclusion with a precision that evoked a round of applause. Later Lissa sang Gounod's "Serenade," and although it was enthusiastically received she knew that the restraint under which she labored had rendered it a colorless performance. Mrs. Broaden called the girl to her and made a place on the sofa beside her. "We shall be very proud of you some day, my dear," she said. "You have genius and we will all be telling that we knew you when you were a young girl." Someone suggested spiritina. Lissa had leged dozens of them from the old women in their room. She saw the women in her room. "Oh, do we let's sing them," she said. "Do we let's move 'Play on Your Harp.' You will find the Burleigh arsenal in the back of the piano. Nella, Nella, Nella, a quartet of 'Swing Low Sweet Chiffon,' North Geridean, and two of the North Geridean, parts, and Miss Taylor accompanied. THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1929 Having won a fair reputation as a beaver, Jack returned to Galviston. He whipped one John Lee, who had there gained popularity as a pugilist. This took place in an open field in which they was a large ring in the corner. Lissa took a seat beside her staff and told herself quite positively that she was realizing a cherished aim, and, that she was most greatly desired, and finally, almost argumentatively, that she was enjoying the evening in mensely. She wondered about the others. They were different from the childhood of a society. What was they thinking, feeling, behind their drawing-room reserve? North, for instance, She raised her eyes and met his singularly false�. Right, gas, and a full, pleasant, displeasure of shock, and for a moment they sat with the breadth of the room between them, and a tingling sense of each other's presence bridging the distance, drawers, and the other's smile and dropped his eyes to the music. Lissa's face grew hot, she looked quickly away and noticed Garland Whitmore, observing her with a轻weight�. Gina was so soared down in a shadowed die was seated alone in a shadowed corner and with her full, dark body held in forced inertia seemed literally to shoulder in the gloom. But she smiled, and the gloom was a girl noticed. From her retreat it took all of them on by one. There could be no doubt about it—she was deliberately laughing at them all. The eyes of the girl, of which he was of the writing, Lisa to, shared an amusement. For a fraction of a second and there was an instinctive response then, Lissa's look changed. It became deliberately unfeasively, and the�s were unfeasively and with the club. What right had Gardinia Whitmore to be pretending a superiority? she thought angrily. She was lucky to have been taken. She was soو. She ought to be thanking her stars. When the music ceased Mrs. Broaden smiled upon Lissa. "You see, my dear," she said, "what our race is accomplishing artistically—when we have Burleigh, a poet like Paul Laurence Dunbar, and in painting, Trainer, to speak for us, we have something to be proud of; and by the way, you must ask Frank to tell you about Tanner. He has some photographic reproductions of his pictures. I believe." They lingered a while over ice cream and cakes, and then, to her relief, the girl found herself out under soft spring stars with the April night cool against her face. North had asked to see her home, and they took their way downtown through the deserted streets. Lissa sighed and stretched her arms in a wide and deliberately undignified gesture. Then she stole a glance at her companion. She had to have brought the atmosphere of the room with him, and was regarding her with polite inquiry in his face. She said, "If I ask you a straight question, will you give me a straight answer?" "Why, of course," he assured her. "This evening was that your idea of a good time!" North was mildly shocked. "I thought he'd been in a great success." She said on a note of proof. "What's your idea of a good time?" "Oh, I don't know—I thought I'd rather sing than anything else, but it doesn't seem to be the fun that it used to. Don't let's talk about it any more. Tell me about yourself and who was so old, yet I know I'm the said eagerly, taking up the end of her request first. Then, without waiting for an affirmative, he plunged into a description of the artist's triumphs and methods. Lissa was sorry that she had started him to kept the drawing-room at the room, taking the long with them. When he paused she asked, "Now tell me about yourself." "Oh, there isn't much to tell," and she was relieved to notice that he was embarrassed. "Graduated from Avery in town and Dad gave me two years in an art school in New York. Now, I am a point for portraiture. I want to paint my own people, and they are good about sitting for me." Their way had led them through wide, unpaved back streets under large shade trees. A faint air smelling of the sea moved through the young leaves and the sun was whispered as a fast street intersection a big double-truck trolley passed. Lissa heard the clank-clank—clank—clank and the hum of the motors as it drew away in the distance. Then she became cognizant of another sound: the unmistakable rhythm of a spiritual, where is that coming from?" she asked. "I believe I heard that a church near the jail had having a revival this week that can go that way if you want," and he said. "I saw the bidding byway. I saw the metting battleship tower of the jail against the soft stars. So they agreed to build a building." Jack engaged in several of these affairs but none gained for him the fame that came from his successful film life as Joe Pierson, the town bully of Galveston. The dispute arises out of a crap game assigned to Jack and his filmmaker face to face. This was one of the most vicious rights of Jack's on- behind a fence of whitewashed padded the door and windows were swept building was jammed with black humanity. The service was well ada- lanced, and the musicians awaying to "Swing Low, Swing Char- ter." This was not the Burleigh arch of the stage, but with this performance, the air rocked to a deep solace chorus, yet a chorus part of the band part-shaving harmonies with fractional notes so fine and so spontan- ence, capturing the culture and the sound. Liza gripped the pallings with her hands, exclamation. "There," she said, "that what I mean, they have fun with whether the notes are right or not. They are not just naturally cutting The rhythm beat in waves against the soft spring night—the air was heady with the faint, indefinable, yet intoxicating odor of untamed bodies rocking in a close mass, one with the song that they were creating. North's voice, held on a deliberately casual note, cut across the music. "Oh, that's all right for these ignots and Neproes," suppose, but here'd we be so stopped at that? We've got to go beyond it. We're living in a civilized community. "Oh, hell!" the girl cried, "forget it will you!" She caught him by the arm and urged him forward. He was so amazed at the change in her that he went a step before he collected himself. Then he stopped and looked at her. But she kept on tugging at his arm and pleaded, "Oh, let's step in and cut loose just once—listen to that," and she started to turn to tune. "How can you stand there like a dummy with a chance to sing like that?" She felt his arm relax for a moment in her fingers. "Good boy," she said, "here we go." Suddenly he pulled back sharply. "No," he said sternly, "It won't do we've got to get away from here. I must get you home. This isn't our sort of crowd, and we must stand for something, you know. Think what Mrs. Broaden would say if she heard that we were seen at a revival, shouting our heads off with a lot of dirty Neproes." He took her firmly by the arm and was surprised at her random and comical gestures, and walked without a word by his side. Only a few more steps and they came up the high tuffedness wall soaked, cutting the sk air away almost to the point of the wall, and the of the battlemented tower hanging diarly in sharp outline against the wall. Lissa looked up, and the black wall seemed to sew forward and hang in place, suddenly dark with the suffering of the thousands who hadain there in the people. Her mother's face sprang vividly up before her, and she thought with Mamia next morning. Then they were under a bleargy gas lamp. She had not said a word since she had been at her curiously, "Why, you're crying," he exclaimed. "What in the I am lonely," she said in a trembling voice, "I'm the loneliest girl in the world." She please I want to get home. (To be Continued Next Week) In 1921 Texas shipped 19 cars of citrus fruits. In 1929 it expects to ship 5,000 with a small gain of 10 percent.

Because the Negroes constitute the most economical group in our country, they are the most vulnerable to anate number of them inhabiting prisons, jails and detention homes. In Louisiana, the largest number of the inmates of the city jails are black men and women, despite the fact that they are the most vulnerable to communities throughout the country. This is always a fate of the poorest group; but aside from poverty, the Negro has the added handicap of being a Negro. When accused of a crime, the Negro is often the victim, white jurymen, white district attorney and white juvenile the overwhelminess of the sons and sisters being in love with the sons and sisters, the capital of convictions in very high where Negroes are concerned. Almost evidences suffice to convict. Looked at from the economic standpoint, we mean that the Negro group which has hundreds of thousands of inmates to stand any drain on its poorest ones hundreds of thousands of inmates to stand any drain on its most members, to say nothing of the For example: Let us assume that the average daily wages of Negro workers in the state of a year 1000 Negroes, who ought to have been acclaimed, were sentenced to one year in the penitentiary. At the rate of 300 working days will earn $300,000 a year. Hence the group losses that much. Money as a result of this punishment Negro workers are so sentenced in a year's time. The actual number of people to be at least 10,000 sentenced to short terms of one, three and six years from this source exceeds $10,000,000 annually. If every Negro arrested for no matter what crime were as only defended by two-thirds of the population would be reduced by two-thirds. Unfortunately, the Negro caught in the police custody at all, and usually railroaded to prison with a barbarous sentence to It strikes me that something can be done about this. We have able attorneys in every community who would interest themselves in this work if we gave them our financial support. Already they have performed great service here and there with very little financial support from us except the sums given by the local branches and the national office of the N. A. A. C. P.

The bulk of Negroes belong to the working class and when a Negro goes to court he faces white people, most of whom are prejudiced against him. The loss to our group is around $10,000,000 annually.

The Eagles have allowed the clashes between the strong but friendly rivals are positive that the Eagles can edge and eager to put forth its best against any other opponent as the Eagles and the Lions face each other. The first game of the annual affair a year after the Washington English team for a touchdown and seemingly had the game sewed up when the Lion scored in the few minutes of play squirmed and wrigled his way through the field, and the touchdown that again caused a 6-6 draw. In the third contest, however the Yankees lost the contest, the Lions played play, played behind the goal that was covered for a safety that unified a 6-6 score by a narrow margin, 8-6.

After barely winning from Galveston and falling before the game, they took to touchdowns, they bolstered considerably. Their rally late in the season brought to the fore the Wheaten Tortoise, the plucky Bryan squand and to thoroughly trounce the Wheaten Tortoise. On the other hand, the Lions, who in the early part of the season, took to the field, fell into a sudden slump, and after was over Orange, Port Arthur and finally fell into a sudden slump, and allowed behind, allowing themselves to be outwound, by the Wheaten Tortoise, finally to be traced by the Bryan. So on the eve of this feature classic in the program of the two squads, the Lions have to upgrade the Lions have to a fast-moving struck the toogoben. But past recurrence of the learning of the outcome of these games concerned Texas as weather to a certain extent. One important factor that will warrant the success of the traditional rivalry is that Washington is out to register a win for the first time since the group was born. A hope in her present group of 15 players is that the team terminated to guard zealously the leadership gained by her narrow margin on the field. op long as wish STREET CARS BUSSES ELECTRIC COMPANY SE SEASON'S GREETINGS THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1929 BRYAN GRIDDER CAUSED LOCALS UNTOLD MISERY BRUCE BARROWS, flashy and flact halfback of the Bryan High Boys who scored both touchdowns here last Friday at West End Park in their tilt with Jack Yates Lloone, is a junior in Bryan High School and a gridiron find.

"The Most of the Best for the Price" YATES SWAMPED BYBYRANBEARS IN GRID TUSSLE The Jack Yates Lions, 1829 edition, probably will be superstitious hereafter of Friday, the 18th, for it was on said day and date that the Bryan High Bears, coached by Dr. A. E. Thompson, physician of the metropolis of Brazos County, ran roughhoods in theிரடி and was West End Park last Friday afternoon and won the gridiron fracas, 18-0. The Lions, who are proteges of Coach W. S. Holland, never once threatened the visitors' line, and with all the locals staged a rather colorless game after the Bruins had taken the lead with a touchdown. Yates seemed unable to stop successfully the end of the season and forward passes of the Bears, who made long gains repeatedly with such plays. Invading the city on a spectral train with a pep squad of pretty damsels and gallant boys and a rooting contingent of older heads, the Brvan delegation whooped it up from the beginning to the end of the game; while some rather inebriated male members of the visiting clan made many of the�y's and the wipper's deck of the grandstand. Truly, it was Brvan's day and they staged some celebration. On the other hand, when the Yates rooting section discovered that their team was being outclassed anti-played, they seemed to have lost their enthusiasm, and quit cold in their fracas. The writer has not seen many colorful high school elevenes which worked with the smoothness, precision and coordination of the Bryan Bears, who have had a very successful season on the field. The outstanding stars for Bryan were "Mule" Thomas, Bruce Barrows, last-footed halfback who scored both touchdowns. BALL! DAY CLASSIC ON EAGLES TES LIONS nd Park AT 2:30 P. M.

The Bulls were wanted to play off football to the Bisons, and power and plunging faltered before the cumminse and deception of the Bears. Time and again the Bears licked passes out of the ozone and sped to substantial beaches of the series of penalties for the Bisons blocked them for a safety. Never again did the Bisons seriously threaten the Bear's goal. Haynes, Scurry, McGriffie and "Pop" Wynne were stars for the Bears. Bell, Toules and Greene were the stars for the Bison. McGriffie, stellar tackle for the Bears. The "Bears" in the Bisons' flesh. Play after play he would hurl his giant body through space at an unbelievable speed to throw backs before they got on their way. So fierce was the Bear tackling that the safety men kept fumbling. Robertson turned in a brilliant game. The Bear and fans went by way of the Cotton Belt to Texarkana and the reception given will long be remembered.

HINTON BROWN) The next great event in the eyes of sport lovers is the New Year's intersectional clash between Pink University and Prairie View at West End Park, Houston. On this date we find a clash of some of the foremost mentors of the grid game today and resultingly two of the best machines. It will be the Southwest versus the Southeast. The two crack teams competing have enviable records for the season and have held their own against all opposition. At Prairie View, we find a coaching staff second to none in the country: Head coach, A. J. Willis; assistant coaches, W. M. Booker and H. J. Brown. Coaches Willis, Booker and Brown are eyeing the intersectional tilt and are leaving no stone unturned for same. They are deligently drilling the 65 men day by day. The squad is led by Capt. "Sad" Sam Prince, who hails from Pl. Worth, a smart player and aggressive fighter of all-American calibre. Baring none he is as efficient a captain as heads any team in the country this season. Coach Willis is beyond a double one of the best coaches of the game, rating with any of first rank among all institutions. He received his training under the head coach of Williamson College, Liberty, Mo. On his home town and the other city, the Illinois University coaching school, The writer's doubts that any coach can match Coach Willis' record from the standpoint of games won and lost, training development and the producing of more outstanding players during 16 years. The other coaching school from the fall of 1913 to the current, then his teams have played 150 games, winning 134 and losing only 7. He has trained such great stars of the game, of all-American calibre, as Frank "Snake" Shepherd of Liberty, Mo. Ben Stevenson of Liberty and Tuskeoka, Garrett Garrett, and Western University, Kansas; Williams, Jones and Johnson of Langston; Yost, Coleman, Kilgore and Thornhill of Fisk. On interviewing Coach Willis we learn of numerous prizes and trophies which he cherishes—prizes awarded him during his years of coaching. We also learn that for five years, 1919-23, he defeated Cleve Abbott, five consecutive times while Abbott, now of Tuskeego, was winning championship in the Kansas-Missouri Valley Conference. The fact that Willis was assistant coach at Fisk the past year points to the fact that he may give Coaches Shannon and Kiken the surprise of their career. To say it willdy, Willis bays watching In Coaches Booker and Brown, WB has his two assistants of much worth, and he has two coaches and each possessing the ability to get their product over to players. Booker, a native of Little Rock, began his college career at the College, after which he played under the coaching of the venerable mentor for his more biobased College Figura. He was a member of the membership of the championship crimson hurricane at Atlanta University, was a great player and is rated in one of the top coaches by Chief Aiken, now of Fisk. BISHOP STARTS CAGE PRACTICE; REGULARS BACK Marshall, Texas.—Coach A. W. Mumford has called for the Bean basket ball hopefuls to start practise this week. It is expected that intense interest will be placed on this sport now since it is included in the conference this year for the first time. Out of last year's aggregation one better man was lost by graduation. This was Wilson's, facade and trick-in-mining. But he still had Nick Lums, reputed to be the best guard in these parts; Hopson, uncemye few-ward; Washington, captain of last year's team; the two Perry brothers, Hopkins, C. F. Richardson, Jr., and Counter. These coupled with this prospects within the freshman class he hopes to sold a winning team. Nothing is known as to what type of game the Beans will employ this year best—the two the other than the Mumford has something up his sleeve. Joint Faculty Beats Seniors In a very thrilling and amusing football game, the combined faculties of Bishop and Wiley-defeated the Bishop seniors, 19-0. The game was marked by the spectacular runs of Conches Harry Long and A. W. Mumford. Wiley and Bishop, respectively and also the nice playing of Bob and Roe, have been in Ashton for the seniors. Littleton showed that the best panting seen on the Bean field this season. The seniors throughout twice but the faculty line tighted and things went awry for the "four year men." PAGE SIX TODAY'S RECIPE HOME MADE CANDIES FOR CHRISTMAS Delight the children with some home made candies on Christmas Day. This may be prepared before preparation of the other Christmas goodies.

YING PEOPLE AND AQUILI LUR—Christian Orphaniate to Childhood 1. The Greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven (Mall 15:14) Jesus answered correctly the dieless question as to who is greeted in the kingdom of heaven by placing a child in their midst and decting. The condition of entrance into the kingdom (v. 3): In order to enter the kingdom one must become childlike. He thus showed to those ambitions disciples that is change of heart was necessary in order to even enter the kingdom. Let alone having an honorable position therein. Birth from above is essential, even to see the kingdom (John 23:5). 2. Those who possess childlike humility are the greatest (v. 4). The child is dependent, only and modest. Such characteristics are only possible to those who have been regenerated. 1. Little Children Brought to Jesus— (Mk 10:13-16). 1. The mothers desire that Jesus might touch their children (v. 13). Theology they had witnessed the healing power of His love and even cited it for their children. All Christ has greatly wasn't felt children to come into contact with Jesus Christ. They thought the children were too insignificant to be allowed to interact with the children, but they bullied the mothers for bringing them to Illum. He declared that the kingdom he calls to the children, therefore the children have a right in the presence of God. Jesus blesses the little children. He took them up to his arms and blessed them. Christianity is peculiar, only favored toward children. Only Jesus is the child duly recognized. (1) The Child Jesus (Luke 1:21-20) (2) The little twelve (1:2) (3) The Lord according to prediction (Mason 5:2). The Lord moved upon the emperor to enclose him. He took time to bring Mary to Bethlehem his surroundings are of the most humble nature to be true in their intercession with humanity, to be born in a man fearing the passion of the poor might be blinded in coming on a film. Jesus' birth announced (tw 5:1) (1) The Angel of the Lord was the first to give the gospel to them. Whom his birth was an announced to the shepherds who were leaving watch over their focks by (3). The nature of the message. It was good tidings of great joy. It was good tidings because the darkness of heartendern which had so long covered the earth was beginning to vanish; the casting out of Satan, the prince of the world, was about to take place. Liberty was soon to be proclaimed to those who were in bondage. The way of salvation was to be open to all. So glorious was this message that a multitude of the heavenly host accompanied it with their song of praise. 8. The shepherds investigating (vv. 15, 16). They did not stop to argue or raise questions, though these things were no doubt passing strange to them. They were immediately to Pethlehem where they made investigation and found everything just as represented. They had the privilege of first gating upon the world's Savior, the Lord of glory. 4. The shepherds witnessing (vv. 17-23). They found things as announced. When they beheld the Lord of glory they could not remain silent, therefore they went back praising God and ranking known what their eyes had beheld. Those who really fear the gospel can not be silent—they must tell it out to others. Earth a Rebuke to Atheism God never wrought trouble to convice believers, because he Ordinary works convise it.

Clayton Powell of the Albuquerque Baptist Church, of New York City, has assumed the role of president of the secronym he cried out and spared not against corruption the Negro prison. In one instance at least, he pointed the accounting finger at the president of the African American direction: "Hit the man." We have heard no such scathing denunciation from high authority since Bishop Paimed died. Booker T. Washington, at one time, took a bishop's pardon, but the practical exigencies of his material task quickly caused desistance. The ordinary layman is armed at the complacency with which ministers who are known to be believers contemplate the flabby sign of health the motions eulogize. This untoward state of things has gone so far that the average layman has largely lost confidence in and respect for the ministry, as a whale. To put this assertion, as an affirmation, as an警示, the jury, firstly, may casually with and submit the question of the integrity and proficiency of the Negro clergy. The verdict will not "flatter the church." Gehrt, sexual abuse and abuse, constitute the gravamen of the charge. HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1929 COLLEGES TEACHING USE OF BALLOT In a recent interview given to a representative of the Associated Negro Press, Dr. John W. Davis, president of West Virginia State College, Charleston, West Virginia, is credited with saying that "proper participation in government and right use of the college is a part of the extension and industrial program of our colleges." This is a very strange doctrine, coming as it does from the head of one our land-grant colleges; for The Informer has observed that most of our teachers, both in public and private schools, seem to be obessed with an idea that they stand in imminent danger of losing their lives, if they should exercise their elective franchise rights. Will Dr. Davis be held as a "dangerous radical" in certain circles for daring to advocate such a doctrine? Will our other heads of land-grant colleges, private colleges and public schools heed the timely suggestion of this eminent educator and begin to instruct their charges upon the use of the land and the part they should play in the life of a democratic republic. We must be careful not to indulge in wholesale condemnation. A majority of the Negro ministers doublely live up to the moral requirement that the Negro minister is not enough. A much smaller percent of any profession will suffice to give the anvil a reputation. No grocery man could sell his eggs on the street, but the majority of them is sound. A few may still taint the reputation of the whole basket. We have a right to require well-ight one hundred per cent proportion of those who engage in the path of truth and righteousness. If there is one profession where real moral courage is woefully needed, it is among so many of the Negro teachers of this country, particularly in the South, who seem to fear that their days will be short and full of trouble in the school-room if they evince any interest in the exercise of the ballot, unless there is an election for school bonds or a board of education. If a poll were taken of our race teachers, both in private and public schools, we fear that it would be startling to discover the small number of Negro teachers who know how to use a ballot intelligently. So person can impart that which he does not know, and before Negro teachers can teach students the proper use of the ballot and how to mark same in an election, it strikes us that quite a number of our teachers, themselves, will be forced to take a special course along this particular line. The haste and rush with which the ranks of the Negro ministry had to be recruited entailed many imperfections. You cannot take forty thousand men from the peasant and servant classes into the high places of moral guidance and authority without bringing forward much of the character of their precious environment. No miracle of grace has yet transformed any body of men from greensness to purity, in the same way that much of this greensness we had to overclock and wink in the generation gone by. But that time has passed. The educational and moral life of the race has rapidly advanced and demands corresponding progress in the moral and rational leaders. The public educational system of the South has been designed and operated along channels calculated to discourage the use of the ballot on the part of Negroes; the Dixie political philosophy being that "politics is too dirty" and that consequently Negroes should eschew politics and let the other races attend to all political matters and issues. The ballot is also concerned. The Informer holds to the view that much of our educational training tends to dwarf rather than develop the race; for thousands of young people are leaving our institutions of learning annually with no objective and caring not one whit for questions of public moment and import. Many of these youth, and even some of their instructors, think that when they oppose some proposition or candidate before the electorate, by falling to go to the polls and vote they have registered their opposition. * Very often we have heard supposed educated Negroes exclaim on election day: "O, I am against that and I am not going to vote!" * Despite the fact that our schools and churches are our most powerful factors in the symmetrical development of the race, both are falling shamefully when it comes to this matter of citizenship and active participation in political affairs. The Negro church now stands at the parting of the ways. It has been the Negra's greatest asset. It must resist the inability. Unusually a sharp and sudden change is effected in the tendency of certain of our lending ecclesiastical organizations they will be utterly repudiated by the intelligent and self-sacred members of the method of the race. They will, and of right ought to, refuse to follow incompetence and corruption in the pulpit. Only the older half of the generation, now rapidly diminishing, will be able to resist the rightous regime. The younger and more intelligent half will repudiate it utterly. The moral lender must be at least as good, and ought to be better, than the best of those he engages The trouble seems to lie in our leadership, and very little headway will be made in this respect until the race produces a new type of leadership, both in the pulpit and school-room. Going a bit farther, Dr. Davis said: "A ballotless people is a hopeless people. They do not vote with which to impoverish their will and community. Without this, civic improvement and the social betterment of the community can not move toward democratic goals. The community, which consciously carries within its body politic a ballotless group of people, defaults in the huge experiment in democracy now being attempted in America. The teaching of citizenship, then, in this broader context, is a debation which our colleges owe to their communities or states." In emphasizing the obligations and responsibilities of citizenship, Dr. Davis should have counseled our leaders to stress upon their followers the act of qualifying as electors in compliance with the laws of the several states, in order that Negroes might be eligible to vote in the various elections. For example, may your political before the midnight of January 31, 1930, when you can cast your ballot in the elections during the next year. The college hedge Negro turns away from the ministry with diagun, induced largely by the imperfections of too many of the fathers in Israel who dominate the situation. The Negro ministry ought to form the highest challenge to the intelligence, the heroism and the noble ambition of the who are now passing through the graft, grafted and corruption, too often up before them, offers an uninvoking assault. NEGRO FARMERS URGED TO ORGANIZE At the recent thirty-ninth annual Tuskegee Negro Farmers' Conference, held at Tuskegee Institute, the theme of the parley seemed to have been "Organize!" Speaker after speaker endeavored to impress upon the thousand or more Negro farmers present the necessity of organizing their forces so as to get in a position where they could better themselves and enjoy some of the fruits of their labor, as the white farmers have done and are doing all over the country. The true priest of God takes on the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. But to witness our high priest, we must wrestle with the wounded treasured from God's poor, domineering in the exercise of irresponsible power and belied with charges of all forms of impunity, and how hardly to tolerate a priest prince daring to accretorate vow. The church cannot be built up in this wise. Too often the people are maddled with a heavy burden of debt which they cannot implicate in. The church is not a condescension concoct and condescension concoct. Several Negro churches tinger under an annual budget of as much as fifty thousand dollars, four Notable among these speeches was the address by Hon. James C. Stone, vice-chairman of the United States Farm Board, who was quoted as saying, among other things, the following to the race farmers present at the meeting: "The Farm Board can not organize you. If you are satisfied with what you are doing, you can get together and sit down and figure out what you want and then try to get it. I am here to tell you today, that the Farm Board is in charge of all the work in the farm. In the in the farmer. You are all farmers and we are going to do for you as much as we are for anybody else; you all look to us. If you are not satisfied with what you are doing, you cannot succeed in these cooperative organizations unless you believe in what you are trying to do. The government of the United States Farm Board is in charge of all the work in the farm and is trying to work out a system where every farmer will have access to money at a fair rate of interest. The Farm Board is going to do its part, we are working to do your work." This is sound and same advice and Negro farmers will do well based the admonition of this eminent leader in the field of farm be wrested from waiters, barbers, cooks and washmen. The layers are already in a state of revolt. The members are in a state of disbelief; membership are to break under the staggering load of church debt. Hats off to Dr. Powell. The conserved and devoted portion of the ministry—the silent majority, should be allowed to escape. Drive them into open disgrace, as the wrathful Jesus drove the extortionate money changers from the temple. Then, and not until then, the church repress the high esteem in which he trolling influence in the life of the race. Then, and not until then, will intelligent, high minded, consecrated youth delight to take their rightful place in the spiritual leadership of the masses.
